Remembering that phone call from earlier, I said, "Let's go to the hotel." ”

Lin Yue paused for a moment, "Okay." ”

After walking a few steps, he turned his face to look at me again, "Otherwise, I'll stay in a hotel, and you can go home." ”

I frowned and shook my head, "I didn't mean that. ”

Lin Yue looked at me, his expression gradually frozen, and finally dragged my suitcase without saying a word and sent me to the nearest hotel.

I went in alone, and Lin Yue said, "I have something to ......" He lowered his head and smiled softly, then shook his head, "Forget it." ”

After saying that, a person turned around and walked away slowly. I knew it was the cause of the car accident and he still couldn't go too fast.

I stood in place, although it was not winter, Lin Yue's back was as cold as the wind and snow a year ago, revealing a shallow and imperceptible sadness.

A week later, I finally had the pleasure of meeting him, and I was fortunate to say that I was fortunate because I was almost deciding that he didn't want to see me, when I finally got a call from Yu Tian late one night.

At first, he reproachfully asked me why I hadn't slept, but I looked at the time unresponsively, and then asked angrily, "You called so late." ”

After a pause, I realized that my tone was too stiff, and I hurriedly shook my head, "I'm sorry, I had a bad temper when I was woken up." ”

On the other end of the phone, Yu Tian smiled lightly, looking very relaxed, and the next moment his tone became a little serious, "Sixi, let's meet tomorrow." ”

I stiffened my fingers gripping my phone and nodded slowly, though he couldn't see it. After a while, I said, "Okay." ”

"Then sleep."

"Hmm."

As he wished, I quickly hung up the phone and put it under the pillow before returning to sleep in a few seconds.

The next day I woke up and looked through the call logs to confirm that it was not a dream, and the rest of the day sent a text message to confirm the time and place of the meeting, and I habitually arrived half an hour early.

If it weren't for this habit, I might have missed out on things I didn't want to see.

While I was waiting at the agreed café, Yu Tian was shopping with a young woman and a child who looked like they were only four or five years old in the shopping mall opposite. A few minutes later, the three of them walked towards the café where I was, and when I looked up, I just saw Yu Tian holding the child and smiling at the woman next to me.

I'm not someone who has a very good memory, but I remember her.

In high school, Cheng Jiajia was the same character as Lin Yue, who was invited to the rostrum to give a speech every now and then, and their photos were always hung on the bulletin board, and there were countless treasures to support him below. However, what I really remember about her is that she was Yu Tian's table mate in high school. When I was misunderstood and had a crush on Yu Tian, someone jokingly told me that Cheng Jiajia was my rival.

It's just that she went abroad after graduating from high school.

But now, she was standing beside Yu Tian, and I felt a cool breath spread from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

I lowered my head, just to avoid Yu Tian's gaze.

He didn't seem to notice me, and continued to chat with Cheng Jiajia, because of the presence of children, his voice would be clearer than usual, and a little louder, I couldn't ignore it.

About fifteen minutes later, Cheng Jiajia led the child away, and before parting, the little boy leaned over and kissed Yu Tian on the face, and then waved his hand and said Daddy byebye.

It's like a family of three.

I lowered my head and left the café while Yu Tian was not looking, and walked back in ten minutes later, and after finding Yu Tian, I sat down in front of him.

I took a deep breath and said, "Long time no see." Then he handed him the Japanese sweets he had prepared earlier, "Gift." ”

"Thank you."

After those two words, it was as if we were at an impasse. Whether it's that phone call a week ago, or what I've just seen with my own eyes, it's impossible for me to ignore it, and I can't guess what he's thinking.

The only thing I could do was wait.

Yu Tian lowered his head and did not speak. It was a long time before he looked up at me, his eyes were red and he looked very serious.

Yu Tian asked, "How long are you going to rest this time?" ”

I put down my glass, "A month." "All the courses are over, and I only go back to work for the NPO, so if I don't plan to stay after graduation, I don't have a problem returning to my home country now.

I would say that I can stay forever.

Yu Tian spoke before me, "What you said before, how did you think about the NPO matter?" ”

I frowned, "There's still half a year to go, and I haven't decided yet." ”

"Try it."

What the? I raised my head and looked at Yu Tian's eyes, it had been a long time, Yu Tian's rational expression.

Yu Tian said, "Since you have the opportunity, give it a try." ”

"Actually, there are also some in China, and it is okay to return to China."

"There are not many opportunities like this, since you like this job, don't give up, isn't there still a year left in this project?"

That's true, the first phase of this project is planned for two years, and if it is carried out well, we can also get follow-up sponsorship, which is one of the biggest reasons for my hesitation, if I decide to quit, it will definitely disrupt the current rhythm.

I asked, "You want me to stay in Japan?" ”

Yu Tian looked at me and lowered his head slowly, "It won't be too long, will it?" I'll be busier this year, too. ”

He had his head down, and I couldn't make out his expression.

The last sentence Yu Tian said was, "During this time, let's not contact each other for the time being." ”

I didn't answer, and after hearing that sentence, I got up from my position, turned around and walked out.

Is it really temporary? Or is it an excuse for him to run away from me, which can be extended indefinitely for the time being, and eventually become forever.

When I walked to the door, I still imagined that Yu Tian would chase after me, and then I saw and heard a misunderstanding before explaining in a few words, and when I turned around, I only saw his rational face.

Yu Tian definitely didn't know that what I first liked was his most rational appearance.

In the end, I ran over and hugged Yu Tian, who was sitting in the same place, in full view of everyone. The eyes of the people around us were on us.

Yu Tian pinched my arm and pulled me away a little.

I sniffed hard, holding back the tears that were about to well.

"What do you mean?"

Yu Tian did not answer.

"Do you want to not be in touch for a year, or never be in touch?"

I asked again, "Cheng Jiajia, and that child." Is that your child? ”

The clock on the wall ticked and I waited for Yu Tian's answer, and maybe he would pinch my face as he did before and say, "Don't think about it anymore." ”

Before he could speak, I was already regretting my regret and wanting to take back my words.

Then Yu Tian broke my fingers one by one, and I was grabbing him. Said coldly, "Whatever you want." ”

Just three words, he pushed me away and walked towards the door.

Since that day, Yu Tian's private number has never been accepted, or it doesn't mean anything, it's just that this number has been used since college, but he hasn't changed it in those four years, but he once told me that he didn't change the number once because he was afraid that I wouldn't find him.

This time, it has changed.

Half a year later, when I dialed the number again, I realized that the number had changed owners.

After graduating, I successfully stayed at the NPO, and the first contract was only signed for half a year, until the end of the first phase of this project.

Song Qing was also admitted from graduate school to graduate school.

And Yu Tian really never contacted me again as he said, and I also asked Lin Jing and them about Yu Tian's current situation, but I heard that nothing has changed, and Cheng Jiajia has indeed stayed in the country, including the child next to them. They didn't say much about that child, or rather, the specific situation may not be clear to a third person except for Yu Tian and Cheng Jiajia.

I heard the news of Yu Tian's engagement on the last day of June.

I took a few students to visit Song Qing's lab, and while I was watching the latest robot demonstration, my phone rang.

It was Lin Jing's call, usually we are in contact by email, if it wasn't for something important, he wouldn't call me.

I hesitated for a moment, and was about to pick it up outside, when I was hit by the robot's arm, twisted my wrist, and the phone fell to the ground. I frowned and picked it up, feeling like it was a bad omen.

Sure enough, Lin Jing's voice came intermittently, "Si Xi, go back to China quickly!" ”

I couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and returning to China was not as simple as going home, "Lin Jing, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Brother Tian, he ......"

Lin actually stopped halfway through speaking, and then stopped panting heavily.

"What's wrong with you? What's going on with Yu Tian? Did he have an accident? Tell me, what's wrong with him? I'll book the fastest ticket back right away, and you give him the phone. ”

"Si Xi ......"

Lin Jing's voice was muffled, he seemed to stop in place, and his breathing gradually calmed down. Probably because even he thought it was fanciful before.

"Brother Tian is going to marry Cheng Jiajia, I also just received the news, they are now in the hotel, and Cheng Jiajia's family is also there, it seems that it is an engagement banquet ......"

"You're not kidding?"

"It's true."

"I see."

"Si Xi ......"

"I'll go back."

Hanging up the phone, I walked back to the laboratory, Song Qing saw that my face was wrong, and came over to me and asked, "Uncomfortable?" ”

I shook my head, "It's fine. I want to take a few days off, in the studio, so I'll leave it to you. ”

"Okay."

Song Qing didn't ask any more questions.

The ticket back to China was booked, but unfortunately it was repeated again, it was another typhoon landfall, and I got the information about the flight delay before I went out, and finally decided to cancel the trip.

Even if you go back, what's the point? Crying and asking Yu Tian why he is engaged to someone else?

I didn't want to admit it, but I did want to do it, and that night I dialed another number, and for almost a year, I kept my agreement, and this time, I really couldn't control myself.

"Are you getting married?"

Maybe Yu Tian didn't guess that it would be me calling, but he paused for a while before asking me, "How do you know?" ”

"Don't you want me to know?"

"Actually......"

"What?"

"Yes, it's true, I'm getting married."
