Chapter 115: Turtle Shell
After the two finished eating, Xiyan asked Yi Li, "Do you want to go directly to the hotel, or do you want to see the night market in Shenzhen?" ”
"We haven't seen each other for so long, let's go for a walk together, and I don't know when we will meet again tomorrow, unless, you go to his wedding." Yi Li said melancholy, the years have no trace, in the blink of an eye, they have known each other for 7 years, 7 years? There are a few 7 years in my life that I have been so wantonly consumed for one person
In the next 7 years, who will he meet, and who will live in his heart? I don't know anything about the answer, I just hope that the next person I meet can be as beautiful as her, fall in love at first sight, and be moved again
Xiyan nodded, "Okay." ”
The two walked slowly down the street, the soft and cold moonlight quietly sprinkled on the two, and the figures falling on the ground were stretched out by the street lights
Xi Yan looked at the shadow on the ground thoughtfully, and suddenly remembered Tong Hao.
Once, after they finished self-study, Tong Hao sent Xiyan back to the dormitory, and under the illumination of the warm lights of the campus, the shadows walking side by side staggered forward, one tall, one short, one thin and one fat.
Xiyan suddenly felt funny, walked a few steps faster, and tried to make his shadow grow with Tong Hao's shadow, Tong Hao looked at Xiyan standing in front of him in surprise, "What's wrong." ”
"Obviously I'm thinner than you, why is my shadow short and fat."
Tong Hao smiled, "I'm taller than you." ”
"I'm not short."
"I have longer legs than you."
"My legs aren't short."
"I'm wearing less."
Xiyan looked at what she was wearing, and thought about it, she was so round when she was dressed as a ball, it was strange that she wasn't fat.
Tong Hao looked at Xi Yan, who was wearing a padded jacket coat, and shrunk into the scarf as his neck, and said slowly, "And"
"What?" Xi Yan, who was standing in front, looked at Tong Hao, wanting to hear what he wanted to say.
Tong Hao said with a thick smile, "You are a turtle with a shrunken head." ”
After hearing this, Xiyan replied dissatisfiedly, "You are the turtle with a shrunken head." ”
Tong Hao smiled, stepped forward to her side, and stopped her in his arms, "When the turtle with a shrunken head is fine, when it is cold, when others want to hurt you, you can shrink your head into the turtle shell, you can't freeze yourself, and others can't hurt you." Isn't it good? ”
"No, I don't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, with you, can't you protect me too?"
"I can't stay with you all the time."
"Well, I know, when you're with me, you'll protect me; When you're not with me, I'll protect myself, I've been here like this until I met you, so don't worry, even if you're not by my side, even if I don't have a turtle shell, I'll still be alive and well. ”
Tong Hao bowed his head slightly, "Hmm." ”
In the cold winter, the two slowly walked this short road, and they both thought tacitly: This winter this year, I am no longer alone; Every winter in the future, I also hope to have TA by my side
Yi Li looked at her sudden slowing pace, looked at her, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xi Yan looked at the figures of the two and said, "Actually, I used to envy the turtle, although I carried a heavy turtle shell on my back and walked slowly, but the turtle shell is its protective shell, and it can protect itself at any time." Now I understand that that's not what it wants, that's not what I want, and that you can only grow up if you throw away the protective shell. ”
"Hmm. In the past two years, after leaving Tong Hao, you have grown up. Now even if you don't have Tong Hao, you can live well. ”
Xiyan nodded, her nose was a little sour, and she continued to take a step forward and walked forward
"Are you willing?" Yi Li looked at the sad but silent sunset, and his heart was sad.
Xiyan lowered his head and looked at the road under his feet and the long figure pulled by the light, and said sadly, "There are some things that I can't decide, and I can't change them if I'm unwilling."
"If you don't try, how do you know you can't change?" Yi Li asked.
Xiyan shook her head with a wry smile, "I'm no longer the carefree and careless girl I used to be, the former self, I will choose to stay in the unfamiliar Shanghai because I like it; Now my self, because of some entanglement, so I can't put aside what I had before, my world is centered on Tong Hao, I neglected my family, friends, work, at that time I can't imagine how to live without Tong Hao, but now I found that without Tong Hao, isn't the sun still rising and setting at night? Won't my days go on in the same way? Without him, I can live, and my parents are old, I am the only one to rely on, I am gone, who will rely on them. When I think about this, I can't get up. ”
Yi Li looked at Xiyan with sad eyes, the reality is so helpless, no matter how hard Xiyan tries, no matter how touching their love is, they still can't withstand the shackles of the world
Yi Li nodded, "If you come to Shanghai, please tell me." ”
Xiyan nodded, looked at Yi Li, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Okay." ”
Yi Li looked at Xi Yan seriously, "What I'm saying is that you really treat me as a friend." In Shanghai, in addition to Tong Hao, you and me"
Xi Yan smiled and bowed her head, "What I said is also true. ”
Yi Li smiled faintly The fate between them is probably like this, the parallel distance between friends is the most suitable
Yi Li jokingly looked at Xi Yan and said, "By the way, if you want to steal the marriage, I fully support you." ”
Xiyan looked at Yi Li with a smile and shook his head

The next day, Yi Li booked a ticket back to Shanghai, and only sent a text message to Xiyan before boarding: I'm back to Shanghai, see you in Shanghai. Your forever friend in Shanghai, Yan Yili!
Xiyan, who was just about to go to work, saw Yili's text message and replied: Okay. It's time to Shanghai, so let's report safety.
Deng Chuntao looked at Xi Yan, who was not in good shape, and asked worriedly, "Yan Yan, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
Xiyan smiled reassuringly, "It's okay." ”
Deng Chuntao looked at the dark and oppressive sky outside the window, and felt depressed, "Yan Yan, did you bring an umbrella?" ”
"Well, the umbrella is in the car." Xiyan picked up the bag on the sofa, "Dad, Mom, I'll go to work first." ”
"Hmm." Deng Chuntao looked at Xiyan worriedly, and he didn't know how to do it, he felt irritable inexplicably when he came together this morning, probably because of the bad weather.
Just as Xiyan was about to go out and leave, Deng Chuntao stopped her, "Yan Yan, the weather forecast says that it will rain heavily today, so don't drive to work today." ”
Xiyan looked at Deng Chuntao, who looked worried, thought for a while, and nodded, "Okay, I'll take the bus." ”
Deng Chuntao was a little relieved, "Well, be careful on the road." ”
Xiyan showed her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry. ”
Walking on the road at the bus stop, the gray sky finally began to rain, the oblique drizzle gently floated on Xiyan's face, Xiyan looked up at the dark clouds pressed into a black sky, obviously it was morning, but it was a bit like night, Xiyan's heart seemed to be blocked by an impermeable wall, his nose began to be sour, and his eyes were instantly full of tears
Xiyan closed her sour and tired eyes slightly, since she knew last night that Tong Hao was going to get married, her heart was as uncomfortable as being twisted by a knife, and she couldn't sleep all night
Xiyan opened the umbrella and walked to the bus stop with the umbrella, no, the bus came.
Looking at the bus that was so crowded that she couldn't make room, Xiyan inexplicably didn't want to get on the bus, so the bus stopped for a while, then closed the door and drove away
Xiyan looked at the bus that was gone, and suddenly remembered the first time she squeezed the bus with Tong Hao, the more she thought about it, the more she felt tightness in her chest, sniffing, picking up the mobile phone in her bag and listening to songs, trying not to remind herself of Tong Hao's past
After waiting for 15 minutes, the second bus was also crowded with people, Xiyan was a little irritable, she still didn't want to get on the bus, and stood in place in a daze, so the bus drove in front of her again
After another 15 minutes, the third bus came, Xiyan looked at the empty bus stopped in front of him, but stood in place, the bus driver looked at the indifferent Xiyan, and roared loudly, "I can't get on the bus"
Xiyan shook her head slowly, and the driver drove the bus away
At this time, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the slight drizzle turned into a rain as big as a bean point, and the noise of the dense washing over the earth knocked on my heart, and I became more and more irritable and sad
Xiyan looked at the time, it was already 9:50, 20 minutes after the work time
The music playing in his ears suddenly became his mobile phone ringtone, and Xiyan looked at the caller ID: Song Mingjia.
Connected, and said to Mai, "What's wrong?" ”
"Why haven't you come to work yet, you're 20 minutes late?"
Xiyan said apologetically, "I'm feeling a little unwell today, so I'm asking you for leave." ”
"Wasn't it okay yesterday? You don't want to skip work, do you? What about your department. Song Mingjia felt crazy in his heart.
"Please help me see those kids."
Song Mingjia was silent for a while, "Okay." You owe me this favor, and I will let Sherman pay it back. After speaking, Song Mingjia hung up the phone gloatingly.
Xiyan hung up the phone, holding an umbrella and listening to songs, casually strolling in the rainstorm
Liang Jingru's sad song came to my ears: "It's a pity that it's not you, accompany me to the end, from walking together but losing the intersection"
Xiyan's eyes suddenly turned red, and the tears that she had been holding back for a long time quietly slid across her face uncontrollably
Absent-mindedly walked out into the street, confused and unsure of where to go
It wasn't until he was tired of walking aimlessly and his feet hurt from stepping on high heels that Xi Yan remembered to find a place to rest and just saw a park
Xiyan sat on the highest steps, looking at the rainstorm that still had no small trend
Suddenly, a couple came into her sight: a couple with a student-like appearance running in the rain with an umbrella, the boy holding the umbrella in one hand, and the girl tightly in his arms with the other, the hand holding the umbrella was slightly tilted to the girl's side, and his shirt exposed outside the umbrella was half wet by the rain
The couple also hid here, and the boy closed the umbrella and asked the girl with concern, "Will it get wet?" ”
The girl straightened her bangs on her forehead that were wet with raindrops, shook her head, and looked at the boy, "It's okay, what about you?" ”
"Ah, look, your shirt is wet, I'll get you a tissue." The girl noticed that half of the boy's shirt was wet, so she hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag, gave the boy a tissue, and took out another tissue to carefully wipe the raindrops on the boy's forehead
The boy took the tissue and carefully helped the girl wipe the wet bangs on her forehead, and said in a concerned tone, "Wipe it clean, don't catch a cold"
"This rain is so annoying, it's rare that we don't have classes to come out to play, it's so heavy rain, it's so disappointing." The girl complained dissatisfiedly.
The boy smiled, "This rain is too timely, the window of the world is so close to our school, when do you want to go, we will go again"
"I don't know if I have time next time?" The girl pouted.
The boy comforted, "Yes, there is so much time for the eleventh holiday." ”
The girl's face was embarrassed, "I may go home at eleven"
"Well, that's just a matter of finding some time later," the boy said regretfully.
The girl was sullen.
The boy stepped forward and pulled her to sit on the stairs, "You are there or not, where the window of the world grows, we will definitely have the opportunity to go once." I promise you, I'll be with you. ”
The girl was a little happier after hearing this, and emphasized, "Okay, Window of the World, I must go with you, and I will only go with you."
The boy smiled happily and petted the girl's head dotingly, "Okay, good, when did I never do what I promised you." ”
"Well, not really." The girl said happily.
After sitting for a while, the girl looked at the rain that was getting heavier and heavier, pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, and looked at the boy, "It's so boring." ”
"Well, what do you want to do?"
The girl thought for a while, "um" glanced at the stairs, smiled happily and said, "We play rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins, go up the stairs to see who goes to the highest floor first, and the winning side can ask the losing side to do one thing." ”
The boy shook his head, "It's such an adult, and you're still playing with this."
"What's wrong with the adults, the adults are also playing, okay?" The girl looked at the boy expectantly and said.
The boy shook his head, "Let's listen to the song." ”
"Don't. You can play with me," the girl looked at the boy pitifully.
The boy looked at her pitiful little eyes, couldn't bear to refuse but still refused, smiled and shook his head.
The girl shook the boy's arm and coquettishly, "Let's play, let's play"
The boy looked at the girl with a deep smile and nodded, "Okay, kiss me." ”
The girl looked at the boy helplessly with wide eyes.
The boy had a thick smile on his lips, waiting for the girl to take the initiative.
The girl bit her lip and gently kissed the boy on the cheek.
When the boy sees that it is good, he takes it, gets up, "Come on"
The girl happily stood up and said, "Rock-paper-scissors." "The girl came out of the cloth, the boy came out of the stone, and the girl won the game first, and while looking at the boy proudly, she jumped to the first step proudly
