The streets are full of business clubs and express hotels, and all kinds of strange photos are connected on both sides of the street, like a river full of desire.

Su Yifan pulled Zhang Yao's hand and got out of the car, and the little junior sister looked up and saw so many hotel signs, her little head instantly lowered, and a thick flush appeared on her face.

Knowing that Zhang Yao had misunderstood, Su Yifan explained with some embarrassment: "It's not what you think...... I wanted to bring you something to eat. ”

Zhang Yao didn't say anything, grabbed Su Yifan's hand and shook it hard, without letting go.

Su Yifan's heart moved, and he also shook Zhang Yao's hand vigorously.

"Let's go." Su Yifan's mind was relaxed, and his tone didn't feel heavy at all, "It's a secret place, and I've only been here once." ”

Zhang Yao raised her head and stared at Su Yifan with shining eyes.

The two of them crossed half the street, turned into the alley, and entered the bar where Su Yifan had only been once and had only a small wooden sign.

"This used to be Neil's secret base." Su Yifan introduced Zhang Yao and stepped into the store.

The short-haired girl was still standing in front of the bar wiping her glass, her movements soothing and her eyes slightly sharp.

Seeing Su Yifan walking in with a skinny little girl, the short-haired girl could still recognize his face, and actually took the initiative to ask, "Didn't you come with Neil?" ”

Su Yifan, who was aroused by this question, shook his head: "She won't be here recently." ”

"Returning home?" The short-haired girl talked a lot more than the last time we met, and her attitude was quite kind, "Do you want to go upstairs today?" ”

Su Yifan's heart moved: "Is there a vacant seat?" ”

The short-haired girl nodded: "It's always there, I'll take you up." ”

This time, it's an elevator, hidden around the corner of the bar, and the all-glass elevator is transparent, like a crystal container with treasures hidden in the dim light. Su Yifan stood inside, found that he could see the load-bearing shaft and cable under his feet when he looked down, and joked with a smile: "Be careful when you wear a short skirt and take this elevator." ”

The short-haired girl didn't laugh at this, but said slightly calmly, "So Neil takes the stairs every time she comes." ”

Su Yifan glanced at the short-haired girl, her skirt was about an inch long at the knee.

The girl understood what Su Yifan was looking at, and still explained calmly: "There are safety pants." ”

Su Yifan felt that his skills in chatting with girls still needed to be improved, so he decided to shut up and stop trying to communicate.

Up to the attic, there was still the same glass dome with a view of the sky, except for a table in the center of the attic.

Snow-white tablecloths, candles that have not yet been lit float in delicate glasses.

Su Yifan finally let go of the hand he was holding with Zhang Yao and pointed to a chair.

"You may be seated."

Zhang Yao lowered her head and sat opposite Su Yifan.

Neil's secret base is unlike anyone else's, it's a public space, and judging by the bookshelves and ornaments on both sides, it's rarely visited. The fading sky was overhead, and clouds dyed red by the setting sun floated in the air, like huge copper coins flowing past. Su Yifan and Zhang Yao sat under those flowing golden red, looking at each other.

Zhang Yao's gaze was still timid, but it was still much stronger than before.

After the two of them sat down, the short-haired girl set the table for the two of them and showed the menu.

This is the first time Su Yifan has seen the menu here.

Expensive steaks, red wines, snacks, and a wide variety of Chinese food. This shop is not as simple and crisp as you think, and it can actually meet the needs of most people.

The only difference is probably this loft that can only accommodate two people to drink alone.

The attic space is actually very large, and there are only two places that can sit people. Su Yifan used to think that the short-haired girl seemed to be very familiar with Neil, but now he finds that this is his own illusion at all.

Su Yifan handed the menu to Zhang Yao and asked her to choose.

Zhang Yao didn't shirk, she never ordered food when there were a lot of people, only when she was with Su Yifan.

After ordering something quickly and accurately, Zhang Yao took out her wallet from her pocket, and the simple and beautiful Hermes made the eyes of the short-haired girl who had not yet left light up.

"I invite you."

Zhang Yao was already able to say six words today, and Su Yifan felt that if other people were also present, this would definitely become a blockbuster topic.

"I'll do it anyway." Su Yifan knew that Zhang Yao didn't have much money, and he who helped Nier settle the bill even knew that it was not cheap here.

Zhang Yao's stubborn little eyes and Su Yifan looked at each other for a few seconds, and Su Yifan was defeated.

"I ...... Rich. ”

Nine words! Su Yifan was so moved that he wanted to cry.

He saw Zhang Yao open his wallet, which contained a thick stack of pink banknotes, and was a little surprised: "Who gave it to you?" ”

"Cheng Shuixin ......"

Twelve words...... Su Yifan felt that Zhang Yao would be able to communicate with others normally in the next semester if she persisted like this.

"What is Cheng Shuixin?" Su Yifan thought that the person who could throw money like an upstart should be Yang Bingbing, and he also wanted to tease Zhang Yao to say a few more words.

Zhang Yao finally stopped talking this time, twelve words were like a limit, and he opened his mouth and found that it was complicated to explain, so he simply picked up the pencil and service opinion sheet on the dining table, brushed and wrote.

Su Yifan stared at Zhang Yao lying on the table and wrote word by word, and it didn't take long for Zhang Yao to hold up the piece of paper like a character in a comic, hold it in both hands and stretch it out in front of Su Yifan.

Cheng Shuixin said that her manuscript fee was too high, and she wanted to give me a part to spend together, and she said that if I don't want to, she won't accompany me to record songs. I wanted her to accompany me, so I asked for 2,000 yuan, and I will return it to her when I have money in the future. ”

Zhang Yao's handwriting Su Yifan has seen it, it is very beautiful. The two lines of words on the paper were scribbled, which showed the uneasiness and anxiety in the little sister's heart.

After seeing Zhang Yao's explanation, Su Yifan sighed, Cheng Shuixin is always so careful. Zhilu said that Zhang Yao would not accept his direct financial help, and actually used threats to make the little junior sister comply. This kind of consciously taking care of everyone's mood really needs to give her a thumbs up.

"Since Cheng Shuixin asked you to take it, you can take it." Su Yifan smiled and reached out to rub Zhang Yao's hair, "Don't have any psychological burden, I'll compensate her for this money." ”

Zhang Yao shook her head in horror and wrote, "Give it back to her." ”

"Okay." Su Yifan didn't insist, Zhang Yao was becoming more and more independent that he was happy, "I knew that if you please, I'll just order fried rice." ”

Zhang Yao didn't speak, and sat on the chair with her calves wobbly to look left and right. Those English magazines are not much of a problem for Zhang Yao, judging from her understanding of European and American music and the pronunciation in the songs, this person's English level is at least above Su Yifan, and even about the same as Cheng Shuixin.

The sky outside slowly darkened, and Zhang Yao excitedly took a match and lit the floating candle in the glass. The candlelight reflected her face, bringing sweetness and a touch of shyness.

The things were all in order, and the short-haired girl turned around and went downstairs, leaving Su Yifan and Zhang Yao behind. In the dim light, a candle flame danced in the eyes of two people.

"It's good if you're happy." When Su Yifan knew that when he got along with Zhang Yao, most of the words had to be said by himself, "If you like it, we will come often in the future." ”

Zhang Yao nodded vigorously, her big eyes still flickering.

Looking at Zhang Yao, who was so simple and easy to satisfy, Su Yifan almost subconsciously thought of himself.

I seem to be getting more and more complicated.

"Let's eat first." Su Yifan pointed to the table, "I don't know if it's to your taste, the things here aren't spicy enough." ”

Zhang Yao lowered her head first and tasted the mashed potatoes first, and continued to nod vigorously.

Su Yifan lowered his head and cut a piece of steak, and naturally stretched the beef to Zhang Yao's mouth, and when he realized that something was wrong, it was too late to take it back.

Forget it, it's wrong, I hope Zhang Yao doesn't feel too shy...... Su Yifan despises himself in his heart, is this a habit of feeding people recently?

Zhang Yao was stunned for a moment, and then almost without hesitation, he propped up the table with both hands and ate the beef on the fork.

Su Yifan took back the fork, glanced at the place where Zhang Yao had bitten, and said in his heart, Is this an indirect kiss?

After hesitating for only two or three seconds, Su Yifan found that Zhang Yao was looking at him, with timidity in his eyes, and a little like expectation, but he didn't lower his head and pretend to be an ostrich as usual.

At this time, we can't hesitate, and if we hesitate, we estimate that everything we have done tonight will be in vain. Su Yifan lowered his head and cut the second piece of beef and sent it to his mouth.

After eating this bite of steak, Zhang Yao immediately began to bow his head and launch a fierce attack on the food in front of him, no longer staring at Su Yifan.

Su Yifan ate relatively quickly, and after eating, he drank there and watched Zhang Yao enjoy the food.

Looking at it, Su Yifan had a lot of feelings in his heart, and this time he didn't hesitate, he opened his mouth and said to Zhang Yao: "I'm very happy to see you eating like this." ”

Zhang Yao stopped when he was bowing his head, raised his head and looked at Su Yifan in surprise.

Su Yifan looked at Zhang Yao and smiled softly.

That's who he is. Most of the time, Su Yifan is just a gentle teenager, he has never expected anything, nor has he hoped to get so much.

Now that there is the temptation to have everything in front of him, Su Yifan will also feel all kinds of unpeace in his heart, he wants to confide, but he is embarrassed to talk to Cheng Shuixin and Yang Bingbing.

Su Xiaoqing would only suggest that Su Yifan embrace desire, and even amplify his own desire, and Su Yifan sometimes didn't dare to talk to Su Xiaoqing about this kind of topic. I always feel that I really listened to the words of the goddess sister, and I am in front of my eyes. The world that is better than one day will collapse and become a fragment of all kinds of suffering.

“…… There are some things I don't know who to say to Lu Dao, I'm afraid I only dare to say to you. Su Yifan looked at Zhang Yao, his mood gradually calmed down, and he said, "Actually, I have been confused before, what should I do, what dreams should I have." Those things have been slowly settled recently, and I know what I should do, but I haven't figured out what to do best. ”

Of course, Zhang Yao would not respond to Su Yifan, she just listened quietly.

"I feel like it's all too illusory for me right now. Everything that Sister Qing gave us was something we probably never dreamed of. These good times are so good, so good that it feels like you might lose it tomorrow. ”

When it comes to choosing a university direction, Zhang Yao's loss once deeply touched Su Yifan.

This sentence is obviously said in response to Zhang Yao's loss and uneasiness.

Su Yifan didn't look at Zhang Yao, but followed Zhang Yao's appearance and lowered his head and continued: "I want to change the world realm, doesn't this sound ridiculous? I want to do so much too far, and it's scary to think about it now. People are afraid of the future, because they are afraid that they will not be able to do it, and they are afraid of losing. I'm just afraid of losing, I'm afraid of losing you, I'm afraid of losing my current happiness. You see what I mean, right? ”

Although he didn't look at Zhang Yao, Su Yifan could still feel the girl's slow nodding movement.

"Maybe people are greedy...... Su Yifan said with some shame, "I like Cheng Shuixin, I'm afraid you all know the truth, right?" But I know that all the feelings of the student days are not blessed. Because we can't grasp the future, and we can't help ourselves. For the most part, we don't even have the power to make our own decisions. ”

"I wonder if time just stops, wouldn't it be nice? It's a pity that the young sister told me that the reason why there is happiness in life is because you can get a short rest after going through hardships, which is happiness. So the way I live now, I feel deserved when I think about it. ”

"I know I'm not qualified to say that, but I really want to do a lot on my own...... Whether you can make money or not, at least you have to prove yourself so that you can influence others. Although I don't know if you really like acting, or if you like to experience other people's emotions and enrich yourself. But I guess you can understand my feelings, right? We still need to prove ourselves and then we can do more of what we want to do. ”

"And I wonder if one day we were separated, would the connection between us fade away? Will we still be happy together like we are now? The thought of this makes me feel sad. I was scared, terrified. ”

"Maybe it's because it's too good to be afraid of losing, right? Neil is gone, and she tells me with her actions that it may all go away, and I have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Sometimes when I think about it, I feel like it's useless to be stronger......"

Su Yifan said and spoke, the mood that had been relaxed and happy today finally collapsed, and he lowered his head and tried to endure his emotions and tears from falling together.

Crying in front of girls, it's so embarrassing, Su Yifan definitely doesn't want to do this.

But that is Zhang Yao, the girl who is so worried, so reassuring, so timid and so brave.

Thinking that he was facing Zhang Yao, Su Yifan felt embarrassed, it didn't matter.

Silently, Zhang Yao's little hand crossed the dining table again and slowly climbed onto Su Yifan's palm.

"I'll ...... Always with you......"

What Su Yifan said to Zhang Yao was repeated by the girl. The intermittent sound is like a beautiful song in the quiet attic, only for Su Yifan to sing alone.
