Chapter 51
Shen Muhan took the scissors and carefully cut the red ribbon, opened the box, and the sweet and greasy taste of the cake came to his nose, and even Lin Shuang held his breath slightly.
Before he could speak, he was interrupted by an excited "frost" outside the door, followed by a series of hurried and excited cheerful footsteps.
"Frost, I'm back" The voice of the person who came closer and closer, and when he reached the door, he gradually became softer, as if he was deliberately suppressing his excitement.
The door was pushed open.
Lin Shuang glanced at Shen Muhan and walked out slowly, just bumping into Xie Lulin who pushed the door in, he looked like he had just come back, his face was still flushed with excitement, and he held on to the door and gasped for air.
Lin Shuang poured a glass of water and handed it to him, "What's so urgent?" ”
Xie Lulin walked in, sat on the bench behind the door familiarly, took the water handed by Lin Shuang, and drank two sips of it, choking and coughing.
"Slow down" Lin Shuang frowned, and habitually reached out to pat him for him, but was grabbed by a hand from behind, and the palm was so warm that people panicked.
She was startled and turned her head to meet Shen Muhan's eyes, he leaned against the wall casually, frowned slightly, and easily opened her hand.
Xie Lulin raised his head and smiled, "Shuangshuang, I'll tell you......" He paused, held the cup and took another sip of water.
When she looked up again, she found that Lin Shuang looked a little absent-minded, her eyes didn't seem to stay on him, Xie Lulin looked back at her line of sight suspiciously.
The two collided with each other, Xie Lulin was stunned, his mind was blank for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but Shen Muhan seemed much calmer, just glanced at him, looked away, and still leaned against the wall.
Xie Lulin swallowed his saliva, he wanted to say something but couldn't say anything.
Lin Shuang looked at Shen Muhan embarrassedly and then at Xie Lulin, and after a stalemate for a while, he stubbornly asked Xie Lulin, "What did you just say?" ”
Xie Lulin looked at Lin Shuang, was silent for a long time, lowered his head and took a big sip of water, and then he stood up and smiled very embarrassedly.
"Frost, I'm going to attend a primary school classmate's birthday party today, I can't celebrate your birthday with you, I'm here to talk to you" In the end, he found that he couldn't make it up, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Xie Lulin is still annoyed by the excuse he found, what excuse is not good, but it is a classmate's birthday party, so it is clear that she is not as important as her old classmates.
But before he could remedy it, Lin Shuang had already made a final summary of this conversation.
She hummed, her voice was very soft and shallow, and even this hum was a little absent-minded, Xie Lulin smiled and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
It turned out that he didn't have to make this excuse at all, and she didn't seem to care, so he didn't have to worry about her being sad and upset, shouldn't he be happy?
"Then I'm leaving, the class reunion is about to start, and it will be too late to estimate it" Xie Lulin looked at Lin Shuang and then at Shen Muhan, and then walked out quickly.
His steps were fast, fast, as fast as flight.
After walking a long distance, he paused and looked back at the two-story building of Lin Shuang's house, this distance he had walked countless times, but only this time he felt like it looked like there was no end.
He had a terrible premonition that he had walked this way and that he had completely walked out of her world, that the part of the road they had walked together had already been completed, and that there would be another person to accompany her.
Thinking of these things was like pressing a boulder on him, and he couldn't breathe.
At this time, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and his eyes lit up and he hurriedly reached out and took it out.
The note is Qin Qing.
Not her.
"Xie Lulin, is it a blessing text message you asked people to send to Frostshuang?" Qin Qing's loud voice was very irritable to hear in this hot summer.
Xie Lulin frowned, "It's not"
After a pause, he suddenly raised his voice, "Don't pretend, I asked Xiaoqi and she said that you asked them to send it."
Xie Lulin looked back at the two camphor trees in front of Lin Shuang's door, and was silent for a long time.
"Hey, do you like frost?" Qin Qing suddenly lowered his voice.
Xie Lulin was taken aback, only to feel that something suddenly poured out in his heart, he subconsciously denied it, Qin Qing continued to ask as if he had not heard it, "It is said that the building near the water has the moon first, why don't you tell Shuangshuang, you have been doing it for more than ten years, maybe you have a chance?"
It's been more than ten years, so long a time she has to like it, she may be the moon above the nine heavens, but what she wants is not a tower but an endless sea.
He was sorry that he couldn't be her sea.
Both of them were silent for a while, and Xie Lulin suddenly asked, "What about you?" ”
Qin Qing didn't speak, and hung up the phone.
Xie Lulin put away his mobile phone and stood in place for a while, but Lin Shuang did not come out again.
This time I'm really leaving, don't look back, don't look back. He quickened his pace, and his long figure soon disappeared behind a flourishing holly tree.
Xie Lulin went home and sat at the table looking at the cake on the table, then he got up and took a lighter and lit the candle.
He sat there alone, his eyes unconsciously staring at the narrow flame of the candle, and his eyes were a little sore after a long time.
It wasn't until the candles were almost burned out that he leaned over and blew them out, and then took a knife and fork and cut a small piece of cake for himself.
Put it in your mouth, sweet and greasy.
After that, he habitually rode his bicycle through the flower-covered streets as he had done every time before, and small pieces of golden flowers fell on his clothes, and his hair was on his wheels.
The proprietress of the noodle shop recognized Xie Lulin and greeted him warmly, looked behind him and asked suspiciously, "Hey, where is the girl who is Shuangshuang?" ”
Xie Lulin smiled, casually made excuses, and perfunctory.
He went inside and saw that the place where they used to sit was occupied, and he walked to the empty seat on the other side and sat down.
"Boss, it's going to be spicy!" He shouted back.
"Okay!" The proprietress replied with a smile.
Today's noodles are really spicy, so spicy that he inexplicably feels that his eyes are a little wet, and he continues to eat noodles while smoking paper towels.
Shen Muhan has been silent, eating slowly and methodically, Lin Shuang sat opposite him so nervously that he didn't dare to breathe, and only buried his head in eating.
"He used to give you birthdays?" Shen Muhan put the vegetables in her bowl, didn't look at her, and his tone was not shocked.
Lin Shuang was stunned for a moment and reacted that the "he" he said meant Xie Lulin whispered, Shen Muhan didn't speak, her face was expressionless, and she added again, "It's not many times, it's just a few times."
"How did he give you?" He paused to look up at her.
Lin Shuang looked at him and was silent for a long time before carefully looking at his face and speaking, "It's just to ride a bicycle to take me to a noodle restaurant on the street to eat noodles, and the rest is gone."
Shen Muhan suddenly smiled when he saw her nervous appearance, "What are you nervous about?" ”
"I'm afraid you're angry," she said in a small voice.
"I'm not angry," Shen Muhan smiled even deeper.
"Then why don't you speak?" Lin Shuang looked at him suspiciously.
Shen Muhan was silent for a while, as if he was pondering the wording, Lin Shuang looked away and lowered his head to pick up vegetables before listening to him say seriously, "I'm thinking about how to compare him."
Lin Shuang looked up at him in shock, she opened her mouth but didn't spit out a word.
Some people don't have to be compared to anyone else at all, they are already unique.
