"What's the deal with walking around and staying at home all day?" Shen Xi opened the door of Ning Chaoxi's room and dragged up the person who was nesting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard.

"Wait, sister, there's one more chapter, and one more chapter to finish...... Don't, don't shut down......" Ning Chaoxi fluttered to snatch his computer back, but was ruthlessly pressed by Shen Xi to shut it down.

"Look what you look like, you've been living in this little room all day since you moved here, walking around, and coming with me to the wholesale market to buy goods."

The bookstore run by Shen Xi has to go to the market every month to buy goods and place orders, and today is the end of the month, Ning Chaoxi looked at his cousin who was already dressed neatly, and bent his eyes and smiled as if flattering: "Sister, can I not go?" ”

"It's not negotiable." Shen Xi grabbed her and pushed her to the mirror on the dresser, "See for yourself, what has become of this short week, dark circles, bags under your eyes...... This is a good face, you are willing to ruin it, right? ”

Ning Chaoxi reached out and rubbed his eye sockets, muttering, "It's not that serious." ”

Shen Xi rolled her eyes.

It was cold outside, Ning Chaoxi really didn't want to go out, she turned back to Shen Xi and said, "Cousin, we are all gone, Dudu has no one to take care of, or I will stay with Dudu." As she spoke, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the short and chubby body stepping on the chair and reaching out to touch the picture frame on the desk, she was stunned and immediately shouted, "Dudu! ”

Dudu was so frightened by her that she retracted her hand, knocked down the photo frame on the table, turned around and pursed her mouth pitifully and said, "Auntie, the fierce ......"

Ning Chaoxi quickly ran over to pick up the photo frame, reached out and patted the dust on it.

Shen Xi walked over and hugged Dudu: "I know that your aunt treats this photo frame as a baby, you still go to touch it, you deserve to be murdered!" ”

"Good-looking...... Dudu clapped his hands, showing his little tiger teeth and grinning: "Cat, it's good-looking." ”

Other people's photo frames are filled with photos, only Ning Chaoxi's photo frame is filled with a painting, the picture is a lazy and cute kitten, realistic paintings, there is nothing special, but people who know Ning Chaoxi know that she will carry this painting with her wherever she goes, as if it is a treasure, and no one can touch it.

It's true that there is nothing special about the painting, but what is special is the person who painted it.

This is a painting given to her by Chen Xun.

Chen Xun, a person who would make Ning Chaoxi's whole body scream frantically as long as he remembered his name.

She looked down at the yellowed and old picture, and her eyes were gradually reddening.

The weather after the winter is extremely cold, the southern cities are not as good as the north, the winter is wet and cold, the cold wind blowing is bleak, blowing head-on, sticking to the human skin, cold to the bone, it rained last night, the ground is still wet, the sky is like a layer of gray, gloomy, there is no light.

Ning Chaoxi held Dudu with one hand and followed Shen Xi slowly, the four-year-old child saw everything fresh, and when he saw someone passing by on a bicycle, he babbled and babbled with his little short legs to catch up, but fortunately, Ning Chaoxi grabbed him in time and didn't let him run around.

But she still underestimated Dudu's ability to move, there were a lot of people in the wholesale market, Shen Xi communicated with the boss in front of a store, Ning Chaoxi took Dudu and waited beside her, her eyes were staring at a picture album in front of her, she was slightly distracted, and she was broken free of her hand without paying attention for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Dudu running forward with her little short legs.

"Doodoo-"

Ning Chaoxi hurriedly caught up, the little guy didn't run fast, but he jumped around, making it take her a while to catch up with him.

Gragging Dudu's little arm, Ning Chaoxi squatted down and reprimanded him: "There are a lot of people here, don't run around, be careful of being abducted by the villains." ”

Dudu curled her mouth and pushed her hand away: "Play, play...... Aunt let go ......"

"There's nothing fun here, let's go back to Mom." Ning Chaoxi picked him up, and when he was about to walk back, he saw a slender and straight figure wearing a black windbreaker walking out of a store, his long legs stopped in place for a moment, and turned into a street next to him.

Ning Chaoxi's gaze froze suddenly.

Far away, coupled with the fact that the man had his back to her, Ning Chaoxi didn't see his face clearly, but looking at the man's tall and loose figure, a thought suddenly rose in her mind, and this thought flashed, almost making her ecstatic.

It was at this time that Shen Xi came over: "What's wrong?" Did you run around again? ”

"Sister, toot, you look at it first." Ning Chaoxi put Dudu in her hand as she spoke, dropped the sentence and turned around and ran.

Shen Xi called her from behind: "Hey, Ning Chaoxi, where are you going?" What are you doing? ”

Ning Chaoxi ignored her, just ran in the direction that the man left just now, her heart was pounding, Chen Xun, the person she just saw was Chen Xun......

He's back.

Ning Chaoxi couldn't help but smile when she thought of the man she saw just now, he came back, although it was just a back, but she was sure that it was him.

She thought about more than two thousand people day and night, and his face and figure were clearly imprinted in her mind, as if carved in the rings of time, and it was hard to forget as time passed.

Because he was too impressed, Ning Chaoxi recognized him with just one back.

Chen Xun, Chen Xun......

Her Chen Xun.

Chen Xun, who occupied her entire youth......

is also the person she has missed all these years.

"Chen Xun, let's take the university in the same city together in the future, you like to paint, I like to write, one of us will be a painter and the other will be a writer in the future, more matching!"

"Chen Xun, you can't like other girls when you go to college, you can only like me, you can only like me in this life, I know."

"Chen Xun, when will we be able to stay together every day, I don't want to be separated from you anymore."

“……”

"Chen Xun, can't we meet again, will we never see each other again in this life......

Ning Chaoxi's nose was sour, and the bottom of her eyes gradually became misty, she reached out and wiped her eyes, full of anticipation passing through the corner where the man had just disappeared, in the crowded streets and alleys, pedestrians came and went, the slender black figure had already been submerged in the crowd, and everywhere she looked, there were all unfamiliar faces, and there was no familiar figure.

She walked over in a panic, grabbed a random person and asked: "Hello, have you seen a thin and tall man, wearing a black trench coat, very white skin, very good-looking, probably so ......tall" She reached out to the top of her head, and quickly denied: "No, no, it may be higher than this height, after so many years, he should have grown taller again......"

The woman in front of her was crying and laughing, and she was a little crazy, so frightened that passers-by hurriedly waved her hand again and again: "I don't know, I don't know, I didn't see ......"

"Hello, have you seen a thin and tall man......" stopped a few passers-by and asked, and everyone's answer was that they didn't know and didn't see it.

Ning Chaoxi walked around here, but never saw that figure, just like when she went to Chen Xun's hometown to look for him, she stood on the street with pedestrians, none of them were familiar to her, and the powerlessness and sourness in her heart surged up again, almost crushing her.

At that time, she finally realized that she would never see Chen Xun again in her life, the world is so big, and it is not easy to meet a person again among the more than one billion people in the country.

When Shen Xi took Dudu to find her, he saw Ning Chaoxi squatting in the middle of the street, holding his knees, lowering his head, crying heartbreakingly, becoming a tearful person.

That was the first time Shen Xi had seen her cry so sadly, this sister who was six years younger than her, in her eyes, she had always been optimistic and cheerful, like a warm little sun, even if something unpleasant happened, she would only be depressed for a while, and it didn't take long for her to return to that heartless appearance.

Even if she was scolded by her mother and kicked out of the house, Shen Xi had never seen her cry like this.

Like an abandoned child, as if the whole world could only rely on herself, she stood alone, like a small boat ravaged by a storm, drifting in the dark sea, lost its way to the shore, and if the wind and waves were a little stronger, the ship would be overturned.

Dudu, who was held in her arms, was also infected by Ning Chaoxi's emotions, and cried out at once.

Shen Xi looked at the two people, one big and one small, and only felt a headache.

She walked over with Dudu in her arms, Ning Chaoxi seemed to have a sense, raised her head, her eyes were red, her eyes seemed to have been washed with water, and the fog covered her black pupils.

"Sister...... she shouted in a trembling voice.

Shen Xi sighed, squatted beside her, touched her head, and soothed, "What's wrong?" ”

"I saw him, sister, I saw him...... Ning Chaoxi grabbed her, like the last piece of driftwood grabbed by a drowning man, "but he is gone." ”

"Well, day and night, you just saw the wrong person."

Ning Chaoxi shook his head: "No, it's him, I just saw it, it's him......"

Tears kept pouring out of her eyes, stubbornly like a child who had lost her favorite toy.

"Sister, why hasn't he come back yet, why hasn't he come to me yet......" Ning Chaoxi lowered his head, his cold fingertips picked at the floor, tears fell down, and he choked up: "If he doesn't come back, I can't wait any longer......"

Shen Xi looked at her as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, and her heart also felt pain, her eyes turned red, and she patted her back and comforted: "Day and night, let's forget him, let's forget him and start over." ”

Ning Chaoxi was stunned, tears poured out of her eyes frantically, and she couldn't see the world clearly with tears.

"Sister, I can't forget...... It's true...... Can't forget ......."

What can you do if you forget it, some people are engraved in the bottom of her heart, the name Chen Xun is like a wound growing in her heart, it will never heal, as long as she touches it slightly, it hurts so much, such a vivid and intense pain, how can she forget, how dare to forget.

In the days since he left, Ning Chaoxi often wondered why God had cruelly separated us since God had given us the opportunity to meet and fall in love, and why it was so difficult for people who loved each other to be together, just like she just wanted to be with Chen Xun for the rest of her life, why was it so difficult.

Eight years have passed, too much time has passed, and the image of her memory has been gradually worn out by the years, and she actually can't remember why Chen Xun left her in the first place.
