Mark looked at Jia Yi, who had been stunned for a long time, squinted and smiled and asked, "Just you?" ”

Jia Yi came back to her senses and said, "Little girl, she ...... Let her go back first. ”

Mark immediately found a seat and sat down, and Jia Yi put the things in his hand in the small kitchen, ready to wash his hands and make him a hot drink.

Mark also followed the menu and said, "Then please have a cup of vanilla coffee." ”

"Mm-hmm, I just made some waffles today, would you like some?"

Jia Yi turned her face slightly reservedly, waiting for Mark to answer.

Mark could see that he was looking at her at that time, he was obviously expecting a full face towards him, but he still couldn't help but linger on that sensitive and amorous side face.

"Okay!" He said.

Garry brought things to Mark and sat down across from him.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you......"

Mark took a sip of his coffee and said, "Hmm...... I haven't been here for a while. ”

"I thought you'd come over on Christmas Day......"

"Oh, I happened to be busy that day, and I didn't have time for a while."

"Your company also works overtime on Christmas?"

"Oh, yes, advertising agencies, how can they be on time." Mark picked up his coffee again, his eyes daring to look at her, only at the brown liquid in the cup.

Jia Yi pushed the waffle plate in front of him, full of anticipation, and saw him put down his coffee and eat a small piece with a fork, but he didn't comment at all, only said, "Have you been busy lately?" ”

"It's fine."

"Do you still like Nanhama?"

Jia Yi chuckled in her heart, confused for a moment, but still pretended to be calm and pinned back a few strands of hair from her ear, and said, "It's okay." ”

Mark looked at the square and said lightly, "I remember that you like this place very much." ”

"yes, I like it."

"It's good now, after all, you're one of the beneficiaries of its commercialization."

"It seems that no matter what it becomes, I am a beneficiary, the warmth of the past is about the old Nanbin, and the current passion is about the new Nanbin."

Mark picked up his coffee, closed his eyes and sniffed the aroma slightly, and drank it slowly.

Jia Yi enjoyed the way he tasted it.

"In that case, we've always been blessed by this place." He said as he finished his cup of coffee.

His eyes turned to the wall, and he was looking at the old photos he had taken with his own hands, one by one pulled by a thin twine, connecting the past into memorable dots, as if they could be strung together, and the story was complete.

The story needs an ending.

"I'm here to tell you something today." Mark turned his face to look at Cara, it was the first time he had looked at her so intently, all of her faces, every expression, he had painted in his mind, looking at her intently.

Ka Yi nervously tugged at her apron - she remembered that Mark said he would give her an answer eventually.

"Let's be good friends, for Nanbin, for you."

As soon as Mark's words ended, Jia Yi's tightened brows suddenly loosened, there was not much surprise in his eyes, just a cold gaze, his nose shrunk, the corners of his mouth pursed, and he saw the clear collarbone under her neck.

"I'm leaving N City." He added.

At this time, the face began to really rise and fall: the brow frowned slightly, the eyes widened, the snort became more and more rapid, the lips were released, and the neck continued to rise and fall with the breathing.

Jia Yi's hand grasping the apron was completely released, and the sweat that was about to break out in the palm of his hand was completely seeped back, and there was a biting chill underneath.

She exclaimed in astonishment, "What? ”

"I'm getting out of here."

"Where to go? Do what? ”

"Spain, still do design."

"So far, in the ...... of Europe," she didn't say, she remembered something.

"Yes, it's Europe." He replied.

"Is it because of her?"

Mark nodded.

"You...... Didn't you say you all ended? ”

"Our love has long ended, but the friendship is not, after contacting her a few days ago, she told me a project, which is quite related to what I did before, I want to take the opportunity to try it, it is considered to be further study, and the design industry is to continue to learn to be inspired."

……

Jia Yi didn't know what he was talking about, this was the first time, she couldn't see through him at all, her self-righteous "tacit understanding" collapsed in an instant, she didn't have time to grasp it, and the whole person was abandoned outside the galaxy by reality.

She couldn't understand him, the rope was not broken, but there was no zài at all; The clear indication came with a 180-degree turn—she wasn't on the same track as him until it was the opposite.

A qiē is empty.

A qiē is drifting away.

Mark watched Jia Yi's love not slow down, and said, "Actually...... Don't think too much about it, to be honest, deciding to go to Spain actually has a lot to do with you. ”

"Me?"

"Actually, I really wanted to go to Spain to study art and design before, but I haven't been able to put it into action, and I'm not such a courageous person, I will only be satisfied in my own small circle, and see you open a store, get out of your previous comfort zone, do what you want to do, and still live so comfortably, and ...... You've made me rethink what I want now. ”

"But...... I'm just coming back to a city where I used to live, and with so many people around me helping me, of course I'm doing well, but ...... You're going to Spain alone, so far ......."

"Do you think the person you like will not survive in Spain?"

"I ......"

"I can, it's not faith in me, it's faith in your vision."

Jia Yi smiled, responding to Mark's painstakingly constructed reassurance.

But Mark thought she was finally relieved, and just when she wanted to pick up the fork and try the biscuits, she grabbed her wrist again, and Mark looked at her in surprise, and did not dare to move his hand hanging from it.

"Is this the last side? She kept her head down and said it so quietly that she didn't even think Mark could hear it.

"Well, the plane will be early tomorrow morning, but I'll be back to Nanbin in the future, so you should always be there, right?"

Jia Yi realized that she was actually retaining, she knew that the answer was still retaining, and even she felt ridiculous, so she slowly let go of the hand that grabbed Mark and said, "Maybe." ”

There was a clear liquid accumulating in her eye sockets, and she was afraid that she would not be able to hold it anymore, so she quickly stood up and quickly walked to the back of the bar with the empty glass on the table.

Mark also stood up, looked around the store, and just walked to an open magazine, which was pressed with some white jade-like rose petals that were still wet, and there was a rose in a vacuum bottle directly above, and the edges of the petals had been dyed with brown spots, these were just facing the dim yellow lamp in the store, the light was obviously adjusted, and the owner was painstakingly saving the ruthless time, but the flower branch couldn't hold it after all, so he had to change his face to repay the favor.

Mark picked up a rose that had already been made into a taxidermy and asked, "You still make this yourself?" ”

"yes, I don't know if I can sell it."

"White roses are good."

"So you like white roses too?"

"I ...... It's okay too. Mark hesitated, fumbling for the green stem of the rose repeatedly.

"This ...... In fact, it was picked up on a stone chair outside on the second day of Christmas. She smiled and looked at the stone chair outside the window, but when she looked back, Mark's face was a little strange, and his hand seemed to be frightened, and quickly left the rose green stem.

A white rose fluttered and fell.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Mark immediately leaned down and picked it up, held it in his hand again and said, "Can you give it to me?" ”

Jia Yi was surprised, but also nodded.

"Did you get a name for this flower?"

Jia Yi just wanted to speak, but held back.

"Lost innocence", who is more lost than her, she doesn't want to say this name as if she is hinting and begging, if this is the last side, she doesn't want herself to end up like this.

"No, I don't." She shook her head in reply.

Mark looked down at the book, the bottle and the white rose in his hand, and said slowly: "It's called...... Lost innocence. ”

Jia Yi's eyes widened, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.

She stood on the other side of the clouds and saw the building rise from the shattered ground, shaking the earth and obscuring the sun.

But what's the use? She was far away and had nothing but watch.

But what a tragic end it was, she wasn't that great, she didn't want to be moved by herself.

This tacit understanding no longer brought her any joy, but instead set off a burst of sadness on the spot. A gust of wind blew through and the building collapsed.

Mark left after his second cup of coffee, and Jia Yi sent him to the door, watching his figure return to a haze, and then disappear into the jet lag, and then the dust will be sealed in the depths of memory.

Jia Yi never expected that the ending of the story would be like this.

She knew that Mark wouldn't give her the answer she was expecting today, but it didn't matter, she could wait, she could approach him for all sorts of reasons like before, just like she said that day, "Mark, I'm chasing you", as long as he was in front of her, she could do anything.

But he was leaving, changing time and space, she didn't know where to start, and she had no reason to approach him again.

She knew that she was far from being as unearthly as she imagined, saying that from the spirit to the **, she loved him, that is, she wanted to be close to him and rely on him...... Even if there is no spiritual tacit understanding between them, she still wants to hug him, completely, regardless of the price.

It turned out that she could accept that he didn't love her, but it was difficult to accept that he would never show up again......

Today, Jia Yi had to close the store in advance and come back, and Aunt Li said hello to the upstairs only 9 o'clock, which made her feel that the night was longer, she just arrived on the fourth floor, her eyes first skimmed to the door of Xiaoya's room, she knew that behind the silence was actually the hustle and bustle of young and uninhibited, she might be able to knock on the door to try, maybe she could rely on her 30-year-old situation to scold loudly, the world may be quiet in an instant, Xiaoya will also come back to work normally, she will not be so tired.

But she didn't, she was too tired, and she didn't want the disappointment of knocking on the door to add to the weight of the night. She turned the key to her door, and it opened, and she entered.

She turned on the lamp in the room, and with a click, the long lamp tube gushed out bright light, which instantly leaked down and soaked everything, but the furniture that was blessed showed its face at this time, and sure enough, the veil was torn off and then appeared--seeing their unpainted limbs, I could even smell the smell of rot.

Jia Yi turned off the light again, and the darkness was pushed forward again, and she was uncomfortable and depressed, took off her coat, put it on the sofa in the dark, and groped for it, and then regained her center of gravity, and sat down. She sensed that the darkness of rebirth was probing her suspiciously, whispering behind her back.

The surroundings were noisy, the furniture was complaining and cursing, the two forces were competing, she couldn't support it anymore, her body found a place on the side of the sofa, she lay down sideways, and a pillow was around her waist, she took it out directly, hugged it to her chest, and stuffed it into her heart.

The sofa was like soft earth, with green vines growing underneath, wisps pulling out of the ground one by one, using her as a cluster of pillars, binding and restraining her, tying a huge dead knot in her chest, leaving no room for breathing and relief.

Enraged, she pulled off the pillow on her chest and threw it out, the moment it left her palm, it seemed to draw a perfect parabola in the dark night and was caught by the darkness without incident.

Silent.

She really has a tacit understanding with the darkness.

But she was still angry, she snorted in her nose in disgust, trying to make a sense of power in this dark night, she still hadn't learned to live peacefully with things she had agreed to, just as she had never learned to shake hands with herself......
