Li Yu stayed in Z City for three months. In the past three months, whenever he has time, he will make an appointment with April and walk around. With his guidance, April quickly became familiar with Z City, and he originally wanted to take her to his alma mater to have a look, but the police academy he studied was closed and managed, and no one was allowed to enter and exit at will, so this idea could only be abandoned.

After getting along for a long time, April found that Li Yu is a very peculiar person, sometimes he is very quiet, sometimes very talkative, sometimes very cheerful, his personality switches at will, and she still doesn't know what kind of person the other party is. They get along with each other easily, neither of them mentions each other's past, and a few months have passed, and it is really impossible to say why April wants to talk about each other's family background.

She only knew that Li Yu was Sister-in-law Li's nephew, had gone to the police academy, and had a brotherly relationship with Xiao Li, and if anything, probably because he had a good personality.

When she was about to leave, Li Yu asked her how she thought of others.

April honestly said that others are fine.

Li Yu smiled and seduced: "Is this the only feeling?" ”

April was puzzled.

Li Yu was helpless. Asking out again and again, eating, walking, chatting, it should be obvious to reason, but someone who is nervous can be. He looked at the woman who was still puzzled, and spread his hands: "What to do, it's all so obvious." In April, can't you see that I'm after you? ”

I'm after you.

The woman was frightened. In her monotonous and barren life, there has only been one relationship, and that is the one she met Qi. He said together, then together, simple enough and straightforward. Therefore, she still doesn't know much about the signs of being pursued. Li Yu asked her to come out, and she only thought that he didn't have any friends in Z City, so she went to chat with him to relieve her boredom.

Now that Li Yu explained it to her directly, she didn't know how to answer.

Seeing her hesitation, Li Yu didn't ask her to express her position immediately, but said: "I'm going back to S City soon, time may be tight, you don't need to tell me your answer immediately, I can give you time to think about it." ”

April was silent for a moment and asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

"The day after tomorrow."

"Oh." Time was really rushed.

It seemed that he was used to her mediocre reaction, Li Yu looked at his watch, "It's not early, I'll go first, let's ...... Give us a call. He made a phone call.

April was silent, "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye."

Seeing Li Yu get into the taxi and go away, she walked back slowly.

The evening wind was a little cool, and April shrunk her shoulders and walked a few quick steps, and the conversation just now involuntarily flashed in her mind.

When you meet a good man who confesses, what will happen to ordinary people?

If you like it, you can accept it happily, and if you don't like it, you can refuse it decisively or tactfully, so what if, I don't know if I like it or not?

To be honest, Li Yu is a very good person, his work character and appearance are very good, he is very comfortable with him, and she admires him very much. But such a person is not something she can deserve. If he knew about her past, would he still accept her, would his family accept her?

If it had been before, she might have agreed, but after experiencing a failed relationship, she didn't dare to take another step.

Someone was willing to reach out to her, but she flinched.

***

On the side where Li Yu walked, fine rains drifted in the sky.

April forgot to bring an umbrella when she went out, and by the time she met him, her hair and face were covered with dense raindrops. At that time, Li Yu was standing under the stop sign with a black umbrella, and in the hurried flow of people, he only stood quietly to the side, his eyes calm and steady. Seeing the appearance of the April wolf, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her, under the big black umbrella, his voice was as low as water, "Here, wipe the rain on your body first." ”

"Okay, thank you." April shook off the raindrops on his coat, took the handkerchief he handed him, and carefully wiped the transparent water stains on his face. After drying it, she folded the handkerchief carefully, and after hesitating for a moment, she turned her head to look at him, "Your handkerchief, I'll wash it and send it back to you." ”

Li Yu listened and smiled, "Don't bother so much, it's just a handkerchief, I'll give it to you." ”

"That's so embarrassing." The damp handkerchief was a little heavy in my hand.

The man shrugged, reached out and took the handkerchief and folded it in half several times, shoving it into her jacket pocket, "If you mind, you can return it to me the next time we meet." ”

Next time?

April was a little confused, Li Yu saw this, deliberately wrinkled his nose, "changed the topic: "I bought a train ticket at half past 10 o'clock, and it's only 9 o'clock now, so come and go with me first." ”

"Okay."

Because it was a rainy day, there were not many people on the side of the road, so the two of them held an umbrella together and walked slowly along the quiet path. Under the big black umbrella, they stood side by side, accompanied by this dense and silent spring rain, each with their own thoughts.

It was Li Yu who opened his mouth first: "Time flies so fast, and before you know it, spring is coming." As he spoke, he stretched out his free hand, palm facing up, feeling the coolness of the drizzle falling on his fingertips.

"Yes, in a blink of an eye, three months have passed." April echoed.

The man lowered his eyes slightly, looked at her side face, and said softly, "What I told you, how did you think about it." ”

When April heard this, he paused, lowered his head, and stared at a damp puddle under his feet.

She didn't make a sound, Li Yu stopped, held an umbrella, and waited quietly for her to speak.

For the first time in my life, I took the initiative to confess to someone, and I didn't know if I could succeed. He smiled slightly, staring at the front with a distant gaze, with a calmness that was not humble or silent.

After a long time, the woman's low and faint answer finally sounded in her ears, "Why...... It's me? ”

The sound stuck in his throat sounded like the struggle of a weak, restless little animal.

Li Yu's eyebrows softened in an instant, and a warm smile appeared on his thin face, "I thought you would say you're sorry." ”

April thought about it, she really wanted to say sorry just now, but somehow, she asked why. She touched her nose embarrassedly and whispered, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

"Because." The man dragged out his tone, arousing April's curiosity, and then he slowly continued, "I think we are a good fit, both in terms of age and personality. ”

"Oh."

"So, I want to date you on the premise of getting married." He looked serious and said solemnly.

April touched his heart, it was calm, and there was nothing abnormal. She looked back, a little sneering, "But we've only known each other for three months. ”

"If we are destined to meet, three months is not enough." He returned in a triumphant manner.

It sounds like sweet words, but the person who speaks is too serious, but it makes people believe that what he says is true. Really, there's no reason to say no, so why not give it a try?

There was a voice in her heart all the time, maybe it was too tempting, and her heart finally began to exceed the normal frequency. As long as she agrees, in the future, she will have a family and someone will be good to her.

"I'm sorry."

Who is saying I'm sorry, you are stupid, why don't you agree, if you miss him, there will be no such good conditions in the future. By the way, don't you like Sister-in-law Li very much, as long as you agree, you and Sister-in-law Li will be a family in the future, how good is this.

The villain in her heart was encouraging her, but what she said became more and more kind: "I'm sorry, I don't think I can promise you." ”

Silence, endless silence.

She could feel the smile on the face of the person next to her, he was looking at her, and the long gaze meandered a long river, she was here, he was there.

I don't know how long it took before he retracted his gaze and said lightly: "The time is almost up, I'm going to the waiting room." ”

"Well, I'll send you."

The man's expression was indistinguishable, and after a while, he said hello softly.

The speed of going back was obviously much faster, the two didn't say anything all the way, and when they reached the train station hall, Li Yu turned around and handed over the black umbrella in his hand.

"It's still raining outside, you bring your umbrella."

April didn't answer, the man forced the umbrella to her, and only said, "Wait until next time you will return me." ”

"Next time?"

Looking at her puzzled look, he smiled slowly, "You rejected me just now, it seems that I haven't worked hard enough, and when I finish the project at hand, I'll come back to you." ”

“……”

"Don't think too much, don't be pressured, I like you, pursue you is my freedom, as for whether you accept it or not is your right." He took a few steps forward, hugged her gently, and whispered in her ear: "It's too short a time for you to think about it, I'll give you another three months to let you see my determination, and then make a decision, okay?" ”

“……”

"Talk?"

“…… Can I say no? ”

"Nope."

“…… Good. ”

Li Yu rubbed her hair, "Thank you." After saying that, he turned around and shook his hand in a dashing manner as he walked inside, "April, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye."

Li Yu is gone, like a gust of wind. April is back to living a life of oneself.

Buying groceries, cooking, setting up a stall alone, life is the same, no, it's still a little different, for example, texting with Li Yu. He seems to be busy, texting every time he doesn't text until after 8 or 9 o'clock, and sometimes April falls asleep and doesn't see his text until the next day. But no matter how late it is, he will remember to send her goodnight.

Sometimes on the phone, Li Yu would ask her if she would settle in S City, and when April hesitated, he would change the topic with a haha. He mentioned the situation of his family the most, his father is a civil servant, his mother is a university professor, and he has a younger sister below. He also said that he would find an opportunity for her to visit his house another day and meet his parents.

He thought long-term, and even thought about living separately from his parents after marriage.

A qiē seems to have come too quickly.

Occasionally, when she called Sister-in-law Li, she wanted to talk about Li Yu several times, but every time the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it silently and put it in her stomach.

After all, the eight characters have not yet been skimmed, and it is too early to say anything.

The days passed so tepidly, accompanied by Li Yu's good night, and the days passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and this year, April is already 28 years old.

At the age of 27, with a turbulent life and an almost earth-shaking life, she came to Z City, and she was a year older in a daze, and she didn't even remember her birthday.

28 years old, halfway through the blink of an eye, I don't know what awaits her.

A long, long time later, April will remember that moment, the day she turned 28.

It was a night of lightning and thunder, she was so drowsy that she didn't know the north, south, north, west, and north, and knew in a daze that she was having a high fever, so she struggled to get up and take some cold and anti-inflammatory medicine. Her health is not too bad, but every year if she doesn't take care of it properly, she will always have a fever, and every time she is menacing. Last year, there was Qi Yu by his side, but today he is alone, but he has a feeling of self-abandonment.

And Li Yu called her at this time.

When he called, April's brain was a little confused, and he didn't understand what was said on the phone, so he could only weakly say uh, ah, and so on.

Li Yu sensitively felt that something was wrong with her, and the anxiety contained in his voice could be heard from the phone, "April, are you okay, say a word." ”

"I ...... OK. "The voice is hoarse.

"April, are you sick?" Li Yu was still asking on the phone.

April opened his mouth, no longer had the strength to say anything, his fingers trembled, and the phone fell off the bed, only to hear a click, and the battery fell out.

The contact with Li Yu was completely broken. In April, I couldn't reach the phone when I tried hard, but I stopped struggling. I have been hypnotizing myself in my heart, just sleep over, and when I wake up, it will be a new day. Maybe the mental suggestion really worked, or maybe she was so confused that when she woke up again, she realized that she had fallen asleep unknowingly last night.

After a good night's sleep, she regained some strength, and she barely supported herself on her elbows, slowly moving her steps. Since there was no hot water, she drank some tap water to slightly relieve her burning throat. On the way back, she accidentally kicked something, and when she looked down, it turned out to be the mobile phone that fell last night. He stooped down to pick up his phone, sat down on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and loaded the battery, trying to use his phone to see what time it was.

As soon as I turned it on, it showed a lot of missed calls, and I just wanted to click in to see it in April, and a call came. At first glance, it was Li Yu calling, thinking of the phone call that was interrupted last night, April immediately took the phone, and just wanted to report that he was safe so as not to worry him, Li Yu's next words made her speechless in an instant.

"In April, I came to Z City."

It took a long time for April to find his voice, and he said in a rough and ugly voice: "Why are you here?" ”

"You're sick, I'll take care of you." Li Yu's voice suddenly became extremely soft.

April coughed vigorously and said hesitantly: "Then you ......"

"Where are you? I'm coming for you. Li Yu made a quick decision.

April's mind was a little dazed, and he silently reported a place name, in exchange for Li Yu's two words, "Wait for me." ”
