In the café on the corner of the street, Yuan Lu wears wide sunglasses to cover half of her face.

Pull down a little sunglasses to see the person sitting in the corner, frowning slightly.

"I ordered a latte for you with two sugar cubes in it." Yu Weiwu stopped the spoon that was constantly stirring in his hand and handed the sweetness of the coffee to Yuan Lu.

He was looking at her outfit today, a straw-brimmed sunhat pressing down on her entire forehead, and huge sunglasses obscuring most of her face.

His fingers tapped against the glass table, and his eyes hadn't moved an inch since she appeared.

Yuan Lu took off his sunglasses, looked at Liu Lu beside him, and smiled: "Didn't you go to the Chinese school class today?" ”

Liu Lu sucked the juice and said, "I asked the teacher for a day off, because Uncle Yu said that you made an appointment with him today, and I want to be with you." ”

Hara took the hat off her hair and smoothed it with her fingers.

Liu Lu said: "Sister Yuan, your hat is so beautiful. ”

Yuan Lu looked down at the hat in her hand, if it weren't for the eyes, she wouldn't have worn the hat. In the summer, when it was so hot, the brim of the hat was attached to the forehead, and after walking a few steps on the road, a layer of sweat was attached to the part of the forehead and the brim of the hat, and the hair was also wet and sticky with sweat.

Yuan Lu looked at Yu Weiwu with a questioning look in his eyes.

Obviously, she asked him out to talk to the two of them alone, but he actually brought Liu Lu out.

Yuan Lu intuitively felt that Yu Weiwu probably knew what he would ask him if he asked him out today.

"Don't you take a sip?" He said, pointing to the coffee in front of her.

Yuan Lu's fingers penetrated the quilt handle, picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, it was very sweet, but the strong sweetness still couldn't hide the bitter □□.

"Thank you."

Liu Lu pushed the half-cut mango pudding in front of him in front of Yuan Lu, "This is the best pudding I've ever tasted, Sister Yuan, you will definitely like it." ”

Yuan Lu picked up the small spoon and scooped a small bite into her mouth, a satisfied smile appeared on her cheeks, and Liu Lu also laughed with her.

"I'm sorry I didn't protect you." Yu Weiwu stared at her sweaty forehead for a long time, and suddenly said.

Yuan Lu raised his eyes to look at him, slightly folded his feet under the table, and sat upright.

"Your incident started because of me this time, and it won't happen in the future."

Yuan Lu raised his eyebrows: "Because of you?" ”

Yu Weiwu rarely has such helpless times, and even his tone is weak: "I used to treat you as someone else, but when you really stood in front of me, I found that the feeling of déjà vu at the beginning had disappeared for too long, and you were just you." ”

He gradually put away his gentleness and disguised his indifference again.

Yuan Lu stared at the coffee in front of him and said without any emotion: "That person likes to add two sugar cubes to the mocha?" ”

Yu Weiwu was poked in the sore spot by her, and nodded stiffly.

Hara looked away from the coffee and asked, "Does that person look like me?" ”

Yu Weiwu's eyes at this time were suddenly cold to ice, staring at Yuan Lu's back with chills, but she still risked this taboo to ask.

He crossed his hands on the glass table for a long time, without speaking.

Yuan Lu had the courage to test down: "Ten years ago, the person who died in the car accident was ...... her?" ”

The pain and hideous Yuan Lu in his eyes were all in sight, the bitterness in his mouth □□ began to spread on his lips, and his reaction confirmed his conjecture again and again, Yuan Lu only needed to ask one more question, and the last question could end his speculation, but Yu Weiwu suddenly got up and prepared to leave.

Before Yuan Lu could react, he took Liu Lu and walked towards the exit.

Yuan Lu grabbed the hat and sunglasses on the table and was about to pull his legs to catch up, but walked to the door quickly but was stopped by the waiter, "Miss Yuan, you haven't paid for that table yet." ”

Yuan Lu glanced at the waiter, and the other party had obviously recognized him.

Yuan Lu paid the bill awkwardly while putting sunglasses on his face, and when he chased him out again, Yu Weiwu and they were long gone.

The phone rang in the bag.

She picked up the phone: "Where are you?" ”

"When I go out and turn right at the intersection, I don't want to mention these in front of the children, if you can, I hope you can give Liu Lu a good holiday today."

The original heron casually put on his hat and walked in their direction.

The sun is scorching, and the thin rubber-soled sandals convey the scorching temperature of the ground to the soles of the feet.

"I'll go right over."

His car stopped at the intersection, and Yuan Lu saw his car not long after turning right.

He lowered the window, and a cool voice came from inside the car: "Yuan Heron." ”

"Huh?" She pulled up by his car window.

"Please give me the last back in her name."

"What?"

The cars around him, the sound of tires crushing the road, the sound of car horns, the noisy cicadas in the trees, I couldn't hear what he was saying, I could only see his lips opening and closing.

The car passed by, the roar quieted down, and she asked, "What were you talking about?" ”

He smiled desolate at the steering wheel: "Get in the car." ”

"Oh."

*******

Yu Weiwu took her and Liu Lu to the amusement park, the weather was so hot, but the visitors in the amusement park were still pompous.

Yu Weiwu huddled in front of the mobile ice cream truck as before and bought two ice creams, one for Liu Lu and one for Yuan Lu, and he watched them eat.

Yuan Lu put a sun hat on Liu Lu's head to shield her from the sun, and put up sunglasses to protect herself.

"The case of Guoanmen will be heard soon, right?"

Yuan Lu didn't know what he meant by mentioning it at this time, so he took a bite of ice cream and nodded, with a mocking mouth: "The court will start at ten o'clock in the morning next Monday, and I don't know when the judicial process will be so convenient and efficient, from the arrest to the trial, it hasn't even been five days." ”

Yu Weiwu stared at the ice cream residue on the corner of her lips and said, "You came to me for this?" ”

Yuan Lu squeezed his crispy hand and paused, and was interrupted by him as soon as he opened his mouth: "Yuan Lu, you are very smart, but do you know that being too smart will harm yourself?" Isn't it nice to be so unclear and unclear? ”

Yuan Lu lowered his head: "I'm going to be scheduled to go to Boston tomorrow morning, but I won't go." ”

Yu Weiwu looked at the slowly rotating Ferris wheel in the distance, "It's good for you to go there, the way to avoid the storm, one is to hide far away, so that the storm can't reach you at all; The other is to always find a way to keep yourself in the center of the storm, and the eye of the storm will always be calm. ”

"Help me, just this once." She looked at him with fiery eyes.

Yu Weiwu refused without a trace of hesitation: "If I were Qiao Zhengqi, I would also send you out as quickly as possible." ”

Yuan Lu shook his head and said firmly, "I want to stay." ”

"What can you do if you stay? The court is still open and the sentence is still sentenced, these are all established facts, and no one can change them. You are still in turmoil with yourself now, and getting involved again is nothing more than adding fuel to the fire. ”

"Someone can change." She raised her head to meet his gaze, the corners of her lips slightly opened: "Who are you?" ”

"Is the surname Yu, or is the surname Xu? Or, I should ask who is the person you commemorate on January 17 every year? ”

Her questions pierced his heart again and again, and every word and sentence was the sharpest cone in the world, stabbing him in the chest one by one.

No one had ever dared to ask him these questions, and no one had ever touched his wounds so thoroughly that he could not burn up a trace of anger and hatred.

Who he really is, a question that even he rarely thinks about. In fact, it's not that he doesn't think about it himself, it's just that there are always people around him who remind him of this all the time.

He was a crippled sandbar on the Nile, and the rushing waters swept away every inch of sand from his body; He is the sunset at the foot of Mt. Fuji, where both ice and fire are about to perish.

"What time is the plane tomorrow morning?" He asked.

"Ten fifteen."

His long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes in the sunlight: "Stay, not to help you, but to redeem myself." ”

Her ice cream melted under the scorching sun, and the flowing pink liquid slowly slid down her fingertips, like his tears, all the bitterness and pain accumulated together, only this time, it was thickly stuck to the skin and could not fall at all.

********

Yuan Lu returned to the hotel, and Qiao Zhengqi was chopping vegetables in front of the kitchen counter.

His knife skills have always been accurate and fast, and a plate of diced beef is cut neatly and crisply.

Yuan Lu saw his busy figure in the kitchen, and for some reason he was so greedy, silently leaning against the door and watching his back for a long time, until he turned around and found her.

"Didn't you go to take a shower? Why are you still staying at the door, go to Chongchong, and then stir-fry a diced celery beef and you can eat. ”

Hara learned how he often hugged her from behind, hugged him from behind, wrapped her hands tightly in front of his chest, and then pressed her cheeks to his back.

He was still carrying the celery to be selected in his hand, and said with a little cry and laughter: "Do you have to pick this time to grind?" ”

Yuan Lu rubbed his cheek lightly on his back: "As soon as I thought of leaving tomorrow, I suddenly couldn't be separated from you at all." ”

Her love words were lame, and it was the first time that she had expressed her feelings to him so unmistakably.

Qiao Zhengqi's laughter was very soft, and he pushed her to the bathroom to take a shower, otherwise he wouldn't be able to cook this meal tonight.

Yuan Lu came out after washing his hair and taking a shower, and the table was already covered with dishes and chopsticks.

She had a bath towel wrapped around her head, and after a meal, Qiao Zhengqi looked at the hair towel on her head from time to time and laughed.

After the two finished eating, Yuan Lu was going to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Qiao Zhengqi asked her to dry her hair first, and she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

Yuan Lu blew her hair until it was half dry, and the roots of the hair were all dry, and the ends of the hair were not completely dry.

Qiao Zhengqi took a dry bath towel and helped her wipe the ends of her hair.

He sat on the soft carpet, her head resting on his lap, his face angularized by the twilight of the setting sun from the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows.

Yuan Lu reached out to stroke the bridge of his handsome nose, and gently pressed his fingertips on it, "Tell me about your past, you and Lu Shijing." ”

"I want to hear one of your most memorable things."

Qiao Zhengqi slowed down the movement of his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be caught in some kind of long memory.

"Rainy days, camping, under the plantain trees, starless nights." His voice was as slow and long as he remembered.

When he was a teenager, he was the pride of the sky, and Yuan Lu always felt that in those high-flying and high-spirited years, he must be an equally outstanding girl who could stand side by side.

"Where is her grave?"

"Linhe Cemetery, I went to see it at the end of last year, and it was very snowy that day, and the area around her tomb was desolate, and there was not even a person to weed. Her father was sentenced to life in prison, her mother committed suicide, and her relatives didn't have much contact, and when she died, she kept holding the star pendant I gave her, and she said that even if there was no starlight on that rainy night, she would always remember the star I gave her. ”

He only folded his shoulders tightly when he was in extreme pain, and his whole body was in the shape of a half-moon, and his eyebrows and eyes were lowered.

"Am I like her?"

He gradually opened his shoulders and raised his chin slightly, his deep eyes meeting her unadulterated gaze.

"No, not at all. Yuan Lu, what you give me is the happiness of never being able to let go of my hands in this life, and Lu Shijing ...... A lot of the time, we are tormenting each other, and in this relationship, there are too many quarrels, and neither she nor I am happy, and even worse, it can be said that it is painful. ”

She looked at him fixedly, and curled the corners of her mouth slightly: "Actually, when Lu Shijing died, you had already broken up, right?" ”

The flickering halo in his eyes instantly condensed, and he stared at her with some surprise, "When did you know?" ”

Yuan Lu adjusted his posture on his lap, tilted his head to the side facing the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the soft light of the sunset outside the window, and said leisurely, "Intuition." ”

He couldn't help but laugh at the answer, "Who gave you your intuition?" ”

She spread her five fingers, stretched out her hand to meet the sun, and said lightly: "...... you"

He will spare no effort to love someone, she has seen him and Sun An argue for her without giving an inch, he is a city wall, even if it is destroyed to the last brick, he will guard her without hesitation.

In addition, when Sun An talked to him, he had been intentionally or unintentionally conveying the message that he and Lu Shijing's relationship at that time did not want to look so good, if Qiao Zhengqi loved Lu Shijing deeply at that time, he should be more angry and hateful about Lu Shijing's death, but for so long, what Yuan Lu felt in him was more regret and powerlessness.

These careful thoughts are all figured out by herself. When she cares about someone, she can't help but want to know about his past and past, but she is a more stubborn person, she can't let go of asking him about the past, and she doesn't want to make herself cautious in his heart, so sometimes she has to pretend to be light and don't care even though she has to endure it very hard.

"Qiao Zhengqi."

"Huh?"

"Wherever I go, you say you'll find me, don't you?"

"Well, I'll bring you back to me wherever you are."

Her smile faded in the soft sunset, and she took his hand, intertwined her fingers with her hands, and pointed her palms at the round sun.

"You see, our hands coincide with the setting sun, just as all the light of the world emanates from our palms."

She remembered the day in the country when he was lying on the roof of the jeep with her.

Heaven - the wind blows the clouds away,

Around—Wheat surging waves.

His thin lips were imprinted on her smooth forehead.

"Qiao Zhengqi, make me a few more orange-flavored soaps."

"Now?"

"yes, I'd like to take it on the plane tomorrow."

"It's getting more and more abrasive, so I'll have to go back to the real room first."

The smile on her lips, the arc is rising, but the temperature is cooling-

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
