Cheng Lingxi in college was not undetermined to confide the truth to Teacher Xiao, but it was difficult for her to find a good time.

During the winter vacation when she stayed in Beijing to work, the little girl had a very hard time, running to Zhongguancun every day to write a web page for a small company in the cold wind and heavy snow, earning all her hard-earned money.

After a little understanding of the layers of society, I am even more reluctant to buy those beautiful shoes.

People who are not yet twenty years old already know very well where their ceiling is after facing the warmth and coldness of human feelings alone.

She began to understand that she couldn't walk into Xiao Yunshen's world, and she couldn't become a big beauty who drove a sports car that day.

She is Cheng Lingxi, and she will always be Cheng Lingxi.

An ordinary person who was carried away because of the first arrival of love.

――

"Are you there?" On a weekend after the start of the second semester of his sophomore year, Lingxi suddenly opened Xiao Yunshen's chat window and tried to send him an invitation to meet.

It's a pity that we haven't been in touch with each other for a while, and this busy man doesn't seem to be online.

Cheng Lingxi took a deep breath in front of the computer and continued to type: "It was completely my fault to miss the appointment last time, I hope you don't get angry with me, if you have time recently, I will invite you to dinner, and I have something to tell you." ”

After sending it, she stuffed the salary of 2,000 yuan into an envelope, intending to be the first payment to return to Xiao Yunshen.

When I had a little more money, it was really easy to make this decision.

After all, no matter how complicated the emotions are, Lingxi doesn't want to be burdened by financial reasons.

Unexpectedly, five minutes later, Xiao Yunshen showed his head: "Okay, it's a great honor." ”

Lingxi looked at the watercolor painting that was placed in front of the dormitory table and smiled softly.

Xiao Yunshen asked again: "This time, will it really not come?" ”

"No, it won't." Lingxi hastened to promise.

"But even if you don't come, I can forgive you." Xiao Yunshen said.

Lingxi had no choice but to send an awkward chat emoji.

"It's been a long time since I've played DND, let's have a game?" After Xiao Yunshen was thoughtful, he immediately changed the topic.

In fact, after the last incident, he also reflected on whether his behavior frightened other little girls, so he tried to bring the relationship between the two back to the state he was most familiar with.

Lingxi replied, "Yes, but I have to go and get this semester's textbook first." ”

"Cheng, you lend me the account, I want to draw a lottery." Xiao Yunshen asked casually.

DND is a game that recently launched a spring event, where friends can give each other a 15 yuan gift package, and after opening it, you will get a skin at a higher price, which is a way to enhance social and emotional interaction.

Cheng Lingxi thought simply for a moment, thinking that he had no reservations about Teacher Xiao, so he sent him the account number and left the dormitory building in a hurry.

――

The matter of meeting each other has been tossed intermittently for so long, which has made both parties a lot more cautious.

So this time, Xiao Yunshen deliberately made an appointment at the restaurant outside, and also chose a safer and more comfortable day for buns.

He got up early in the morning, drove to a nearby flower shop and picked out the freshest bunches of small sunflowers, and then waited peacefully at the agreed place, lest he miss her appearance.

Thinking about the last time I was so cautious because of a girl, it probably went back to my innocent first love in middle school.

――

It's a pity that Cheng Lingxi didn't have such a calm fate, when she was about to go out, she received a call for help from her mother from her hometown in Sichuan.

"We received the money you sent home last week, but your dad ...... the day before yesterday Now in the hospital, I need to spend a lot of money every day, and my mother really has no savings left......" Cheng's mother's voice was very sad: "I didn't dare to touch the bank/card that funded you to go to college before, but if you have enough money, ......"

In order to work in Beijing, Lingxi has not seen her parents for a long time, and her father's haggard face comes to mind, and the sadness and heaviness in her heart are probably unimaginable to her peers.

In the days of Tsinghua University, the little girl has lived no longer and can no longer save.

Eat the cheapest rice, wear the oldest clothes, not to mention that you don't have the skincare products that girls love, and even books have to go to the bookstore at the door.

Playing games and buying that computer was all she had for herself.

Holding on to the two thousand yuan in cash that was about to be returned to Mr. Xiao, Cheng Lingxi sniffed and replied in a low voice: "There is still a little, I will send it to you and take good care of Dad." ”

"Child, mom really hurt you, if you don't have no choice......" Cheng's mother couldn't help crying.

"Mom, don't say that, I know it's not easy for you." Lingxi quickly wiped his eyes: "Don't use someone's phone, I'll go and pay for it." ”

After speaking, she hung up the microphone, choked up and picked up her schoolbag and went out.

――

Although the meeting with Mr. Xiao is very important, the affairs at home cannot be delayed.

Lingxi first queued up at the bank to remit the money, and when he came out, he didn't care about the time, and saw that he couldn't get to the restaurant on time.

She was afraid that Xiao Yunshen would be unhappy, so she hurriedly took the bus at the school gate, stood uncomfortably, and frequently looked out of the window.

It's a pity that at noon on the weekend, there are many more blockages in Beijing.

When I finally sat down in nearby Sanlitun, it was obviously a long time late.

Cheng Lingxi lost the money that should be returned to Mr. Xiao, and the prepared rhetoric seemed inappropriate, his heart was chaotic, his mind was disturbed, and he was depressed listening to the harsh road noise around him.

She remembered her mental state at that time well after a long time.

Because her leg was broken by a car that ran a red light at that time.

The sharp pain came completely when he was unprepared, and Lingxi didn't even know what was going on, so he was pushed to the side, fell to the ground, and rolled several times before stopping.

The intersection, which was already congested, became even more chaotic as a result.

"It's a car accident!"

"Is this girl alright?"

"Why is it okay, there is so much blood, hit 110, no, 120!"

The pedestrians screamed in surprise, but fortunately, a few enthusiasts called the emergency number for her.

Cheng Lingxi's forehead slammed to the ground, and in those ten minutes, it was completely dark in front of him.

――

Two cups of coffee were down, and the guest book at hand was also messed up.

Xiao Yunshen waited physically and mentally exhausted, looking at the time, he actually sat from morning to afternoon, and he simply became the nail of the restaurant.

If Baozi had kept her promise, she should have appeared three hours ago.

This time...... Maybe there's something you can't figure out and give up seeing yourself, right?

Xiao Yunshen felt very helpless, summoned the waiter to settle the bill, picked up the sunflower and walked out with a confused eye.

It's so difficult to live, and it's rare for me to finally meet a girl with a similar personality and temperament, why is there no fate?

Is there anything unspeakable about the buns?

So why did she ask for today's date?

Xiao Yunshen was a little reluctant to leave, but looking at the calm outside the restaurant, he knew very well that it was impossible for the other party to come again, so he still lowered his head and chose to leave after all.

Ten minutes later, he passed by the place where the accident had occurred, but the scene had already been cleared without any traces.

It's still bustling, busy, and busy with a row of big cities.

Perhaps, an inconspicuous existence like Cheng Lingxi, even if it suddenly disappears, no one will care.
