It's been a while since school, and after Sheng Chen, Mo Shi, and Shuo Fang separated, they walked aimlessly with their schoolbags on their backs, as if the whole person had lost his mind.

The whole person walked in the direction of home at an extremely slow pace, and his eyes looked at the dazzling shops on the side of the road from time to time, as if he was looking for what he wanted to buy, but only a moment later, Sheng Chen dispelled this thought, and felt the crumpled note in his trouser pocket.

I don't know what's going on, Sheng Chen felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, and when he got home, he sat on the bed, took out the note from his pocket and was about to unfold it, "Sheng Chen, you come out for me and water that flower." Hearing Chen Li's shout, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stuffed the note into his pants pocket and responded.

"Mom, I know. I'll go! Sheng Chen took the kettle for watering the flowers and filled it with a few liters of water, looking at the few moon flowers that were close to withering, the petals had lost their original luster, and became a little yellow, as if they had lost their nutrients.

Sheng Chen watered the flowers absentmindedly, and he didn't know until the water in the flower pot overflowed, and he didn't wake up until he heard Chen Li's scolding.

"My son, are you watering the flowers or drowning the flowers, you don't see the water overflowing, what are you thinking about with your little head?" Chen Li pointed her finger at Sheng Chen's forehead.

"Hehe, you can't water it anymore, and besides, Mom, you see that this flower is almost dying, and watering it more is also good for it."

"Okay, learn to give your mother my poor mouth, didn't it just rain overnight the day before yesterday, water it a little to make it look brighter, these pots of flowers are going to be given away, okay, why are you going, don't water the flowers."

Sheng Chen suddenly rushed into his room like a meteor as if he had been granted amnesty, and then there was a loud sound of the door closing.

After carefully opening the note. It was laid out on his bedside table, "You can tell me or not?" Sheng Chen's question written in a black pen, Xiao Ruoning wrote the reply below with a light blue pen, at the moment he saw it.

Although Sheng Chen had been prepared for a long time, when he saw that the line was written in a very neat and delicate font, his heart was still filled with a burst of loss, and the only remaining beautiful illusion was completely shattered.

"I don't want to answer your question, we'd better be friends."

This sentence appeared in Sheng Chen's mind over and over again, and he couldn't forget it if he wanted to, like an imprint engraved into his mind, deeply remembered.

The heartache that I have never felt before is coming up at this moment, and it is better for us to be friends. Stung Sheng Chen's heart deeply, and tears unconsciously slipped from the corners of his eyes and dripped onto the crumpled note.

After being stunned for a few minutes, Sheng Chen tried his best to restrain his feelings, picked up the language book and read it, at this moment, he was immersed in the book, and he was able to forget the pain for a while.

In fact, Sheng Chen misunderstood Xiao Ruoning's meaning, and thought about everything in a bad way, and at the same time, Xiao Ruoning, who was having a lot of fun in Yang Xinyi, didn't know how Sheng Chen felt after reading her reply.

The autumn wind blows the sadness of falling leaves, that is the return to the roots, a qiē seems to be the same as destined by God, fate is always so ethereal, every time I think I have touched the barrier of fate, only to find that we are careless and have nothing to gain.

The remnant sun is like blood, the afterglow of the sunset is scattered on the earth, the kind of indescribable beauty, Sheng Chen looked at the unique beauty of the sunset afterglow, and at the moment when he froze in his heart, he didn't think about anything, and he emptied himself of the baptism of his soul, and fell into the scene for a short time.

"Ah Ning, you are optimistic about the beautiful sunset!" On the balcony of Yang Xinyi's house, the three daughters looked at the sunset in the distance, and in the face of Yang Xinyi's exclamation, Chen Wen was faintly heartbroken.

Some vague memories came to her mind at this moment. When she was four or five years old, an uncle would always take her out to play when the sun was setting. can make her laugh every time, she calls that uncle the beard king, because every time he likes to use his stubble chin, it is very uncomfortable to rub Chen Wen's face. Many years have passed, and the bearded king in Chen Wen's memory is nowhere to be found.

To be precise, since her mother hanged herself, she has not been heard from since, and it seems that she has disappeared from Chen Wen's life with some special secret.

"Wenzi, Wenzi, Wenzi!" Yang Xinyi shouted three times in a row, Chen Wen didn't react at all, still staring at the sunset and looking at the whole person in a sluggish state, and then suddenly woke up and responded, "Ah! Why? ”

Xiao Ruoning and Yang Xinyi looked at her with stunned expressions, "What's wrong with you, I didn't respond to the shouting you just now, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I was fine just now, Ah Ning, Xinyi, why are you looking at me like this, is there something on my face? I feel a little weird. Chen Wen didn't feel the slightest resonance in her heart when she touched the scene just now, and felt that it was just a thought that flashed in her mind for a moment.

"Bearded King...," Chen Wen muttered to herself.

"Her expression was so strange just now, what's so beautiful about the sunset, I really don't understand, Ah Ning, what's wrong with you, I'll talk to you!" Yang Xinyi said angrily, while Xiao Ruoning and Chen Wen seemed to be intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the sunset.

For a full two minutes or so, the three people playing on the balcony fell silent, and the previous noisy atmosphere was replaced by tranquility.

"Grandma, what time is it?" Yang Xinyi came to her senses from Xiao Ruoning and Chen Wen's rendering, and it seemed that the natural beauty was not very tempting to her.

Although I ate a big bowl of cold skin when I went home before, I had no choice but to develop a habit of eating it since I was a child, as long as I want to eat it, there is one thing worth saying, she has the characteristics that many girls envy, no matter how she eats Yang Xinyi, she just can't get fat.

In her own words, sister is born, envy, jealousy, hate.

Xiao Ruoning, who had been playing with Yang Xinyi for about an hour, was always worried about Xiao Jing's shoe repair stall, the sky gradually darkened, and the last trace of sunset also fell below the horizon, and the night that replaced it was about to fall soon.

"It's getting late, it's time for me to go home, lest my dad worry about me." Seeing that Xiao Ruoning insisted on leaving, Yang Xinyi was not good at staying.

"Goodbye, grandma!" When Xiao Ruoning was leaving, she didn't forget to say goodbye to Yang Xinyi's grandmother, which made Yang Xinyi's grandmother like this polite little girl very much.

The originally lively and crazy trio, with Xiao Ruoning's departure, suddenly lost some joyful atmosphere.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, Xiao Ruoning chose to leave. On the one hand, she wanted to go home early, and on the other hand, she felt that she was too far from Yang Xinyi and Chen Wen in terms of family background, which made her feel a little inferior in her heart.
