When did you meet him, at the fifth birthday party, or at the opening ceremony of elementary school, or at the banquet of full moon wine, and unconsciously made eye contact with him who was also picked up?

I don't remember, it's been too long, it's been too long since I've known him, and I've been there since the beginning of my memory. So much so that when I learned of the existence of the marriage contract at the age of fourteen, I didn't feel unfortunate because it was an arranged marriage, and I didn't even feel a trace of panic, but I just took it for granted, just like a cat eating fish, a dog eating meat, and Ultraman fighting a little monster.

He has been studying in the same school since elementary school, his home is not far away, familiarity is a matter of course, he likes to wear sleeveless T-shirts, he doesn't like to eat pasta, he drinks coffee with three spoonfuls of sugar, he likes to play basketball, he is unexpectedly stingy although he is sunny, and although he doesn't care on the surface but actually cares about his sibling with beautiful long hair.

It's going to go on like this, if...... No surprises.

She couldn't help but laugh at herself, what could happen? Everything was predestined.

……

Everything was predestined.

When she knocked on the door of the ward, she couldn't help but think of it.

The boy on the hospital bed, wearing a loose hospital gown and a thick gauze wrap around his head, crossed his knees, stared blankly at the pale sky outside the window.

"Dust, it's good you're okay." She cried out in surprise.

The young man on the bed paused for a moment, and twisted his head in the direction of his back to Su Musha: "Go away." ”

His voice was so low that she couldn't hear it. "What?" She asked softly.

"Go away!" He turned his face sideways at her, squinted at her, and the coldness that filled his eyes even frightened her into taking a step back.

Obviously two days ago, he would have laughed gently, why did he suddenly .......

"Get out." The frost in his eyes darkened slightly, but he still commanded mercilessly.

"Dust," she turned to leave the room, "take care ......of your injuries." ”

When she walked to the door of the ward, she could vaguely hear him whispering, "Why did I survive, why me, why ......"

She closed the door softly.

……

In that car accident, his sister Liu Duyun died.

Here's what she heard afterward.

"Because of my sister's death, I am so sad, and it is understandable that I am emotional." She said to herself in her heart.

Sure enough, when I saw him again, he was still smiling gently at himself as before, as if it was no different from before.

But why did he smile so forcefully, was it because he hadn't come out of his sister's departure yet. That's what she thought to herself.

She saw that his feet were bandaged, and she wanted to help him. But when her fingers touched his arm, he dodged it, as if dodging a snake.

"His wounds aren't healed yet." Father Liu explained earnestly, and looked at Liu Xichen with stern eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's just that the wound hasn't healed yet." He also reluctantly smiled apologetically, "It hurts to touch it." ”

She didn't say anything, she just felt a little blocked in her heart.

That night, she stayed overnight at Liu's house, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and suddenly saw the fire in the yard, a small flame, and a person squatting next to it. She put on her pajamas, and carefully did not alarm the others and came downstairs, it was Liu Xichen, he was burning something.

"Let's go check it out." Curiosity drove her like that, and she did.

By the light of the fire, she could barely see that the photo he was burning belonged to his sister, Liu Duyun, the girl who was once the most favored by the whole family, and perhaps his favorite girl, the princess of the Liu family.

"Why?" She asked, in a trembling voice, the 15-year-old hadn't experienced much too much to respond effectively.

"What's the point of existence with these?" His voice was so familiar, yet so unfamiliar, as cold as the Siberian wind, that it made her fall into an ice cave, "Who cares about her life or death in this indifferent home?" In that case, what's the point of keeping these? ”

He threw the rest of the photos into the fire and turned away, "Why did you let me live...... Endure this indifferent world alone. ”

She was stunned for a long time before rushing to the fire as if she had just woken up from a dream, desperately salvaging a few photos that were still on fire, and when she returned to the room, she found that half of her pajamas had been burned off half of their sleeves.

She didn't understand his words, and in her impression, in the entire Liu family, Liu Duyun was the most likable person, and there was no one.

Life always flies by inadvertently.

He still adds three spoonfuls of sugar to each cup of coffee, still doesn't like pasta, but he never plays basketball again, and he doesn't have a sister to care about. Other than that, it doesn't seem to be any different than before.

Only she knew that from that day on, he began to gradually distance himself from her, until they met each other only by name; Or that he alienated all the people he had been in contact with before, and even transferred to another school in order to avoid his former classmates; His indifference also earned him the name of the Ice Sea Prince.

Occasionally, she had the whimsy that perhaps he was now a different personality, and that the one she was familiar with was just sleeping somewhere in her body.

I also think about whether everything would have been different if it hadn't been for that car accident.

But there are no ifs and no time machines in this world, so she has to accept it. "Life still has to go on." She couldn't remember where she heard it, but it suddenly made sense.

She began to meet new people in a new school and began to learn to forget certain things.

After all, everything is predestined.

But I still secretly follow him, and I also added his Weibo, although there are only food reviews and movie reviews on it.

She found that even with this cold personality, he was exceptionally popular at school, and even had a tablemate who could be called a friend, although I heard that the friendship started because the unreliable guy asked him to help him take notes on his behalf......

Maybe that's not bad, she thought.

She struggled with the birthday invitation that day for a long time, but finally decided to give him one, after all, it was the person who grew up together since childhood, or her nominal fiancé.

But on the way home, he stopped him.

"Do you want to end this boring engagement?" He said this, his eyes as calm as well water.
