After a short while, a light rain was already falling in the sky, and the classes on the playground that were still waiting to take graduation photos moved to a sheltered place in the auditorium, and the crowd dispersed.

Looking out of the staircase window of the school building, there is a joyful and scattered atmosphere.

Lao Xie walked in front and smiled when he saw such a scene, "Every year, there must be some episodes when taking graduation photos, this is the tradition of our No. 1 Middle School, this is not a little rain and wind, and the graduation photos taken have no soul......"

Cheng Chuxia didn't expect Lao Xie to suddenly joke, so he didn't know how to react for a while, so he had to smile "cooperatively".

Lao Xie saw that she was uncomfortable, he still liked the big grinning, always lively in front of him, and a little "unruly" Cheng Chuxia.

When Xiao Qing came over yesterday, he knew what had happened between them.

A student who has taught for three years, he knows Han Rui, and he also understands Cheng Chuxia, she always has her own untouchable principle in her heart, once she is touched, she must insist on whatever she says, even if she can't tell whether such persistence is right or wrong, such a personality is stubborn to put it simply, and it is not good to say, it is dead-eyed.

In this case, the only way to free her is to recognize her own heart.

The photo is in the computer in the office, Lao Xie turned on the computer, and Cheng Chuxia was waiting on the side.

While waiting for the camera to start, Lao Xie suddenly called her name, "Cheng Chuxia." ”

“…… Well? "The person who was in a daze came back to his senses.

"Can I find out, what happened to your baby Han Rui?"

Ask while knowing the answer.

Cheng Chuxia didn't expect Lao Xie to gossip, and sure enough, he still had to come.

"We ...... Not suitable together. ”

A complicated relationship just passed by in one sentence.

"Oh? So tell me, what's inappropriate? ”

"Teacher, you know why......"

Lao Xie raised his eyebrows and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Uh...... Well, yes, yes, but I'd like to hear what you have to say. ”

"Our relationship, it's so awkward."

Lao Xie was puzzled, "You are not sisters and brothers, what are you embarrassed?" ”

"But you always have to be part of your family."

"Cheng Chuxia, how can your thinking be more traditional than my old one, how many people are in love on New Year's Eve and twilight now...... What's wrong with your normal relationship? ”

But other people's eyes also have to be considered, when they are together, what will outsiders look like, and how embarrassing Cheng Dongheng and Xiao Qing's position will be, it is impossible for his mother to accept this matter.

Although it is said that love is a matter of two people, but when it comes to her, love is no longer a simple matter of two people, there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles between them, and the tests in the relationship will come one after another, how should they deal with it, these are her worries, concerns, and uncertainties.

"Lao Xie, don't persuade me, before us, we may really have a fate."

Lao Xie took out a photo album from the drawer of the table, but there were not a few photos in it, more train tickets and postage stamps.

Cheng Chuxia asked with some curiosity, "What is this?" ”

Lao Xie's hand stroked the yellowed and mottled pages, with a happy expression on his face, "These are some old yellow calendars, if it weren't for you, your master and mother wouldn't agree to let me bring it to school." ”

The sweetness between them is still understood in the early summer, they have been together for almost 30 years, and the relationship between Lao Xie and his wife is still envious of others, "Why, this is what it means to sprinkle some dog food on this little kid." ”

Lao Xie was a little embarrassed by her, but she was right, "Before I was with your wife, we had a long-distance relationship for more than three years, and in these three years, I went to her city 52 times, and she came to Rongcheng 61 times......"

Cheng Chuxia was surprised by this number, it turned out that Lao Xie was also so romantic.

"Lao Xie, it is really not easy for you and your wife to get to this point."

Lao Xie nodded and affirmed her words, "It's really not easy, people say that long-distance relationships are the hardest, in the past three years, we have broken up 13 times, each time we are very decisive, but every time we choose to reconcile." ”

"13 times? Why? ”

"For various reasons, I don't care about time and distance, and I am not around when I am sick...... Many, much more. At that time, the people around us were saying, give up, there are a few long-distance relationships that can be achieved, two people are in two completely different worlds, she has her life, you have your days to live, isn't it better to marry a local person who is in love, why do you want to choose this kind of unreliable and time-wasting love, let it go, don't delay her, and let her not delay you. ”

But even so, they finally came together.

Cheng Chuxia suddenly remembered what Han Rui said to her: You have to remember that what others think of you has nothing to do with you, and how you live has nothing to do with others.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Lao Xie continued, "Do you know how I answered those people at that time? ”

"How did you answer that?"

"I said, I love her." Recalling the past, Lao Xie smiled very happily, "In the same way, during that time, she was also listening to the people around her, but she, like me, didn't want to give up this relationship." ”

Cheng Chuxia sighed, "Yes, long-distance relationship is so difficult, and if you can go to the end, don't you have to overcome the pressure and face the difficulties." ”

Many times, love is more like a gamble and a game between two people, in fact, opponents and friends are only two people, who loses and who wins, it is always the other party who has the final say, when I am reluctant to let you lose, we have already won.

Hearing Cheng Chuxia's answer, Lao Xie's smile deepened, "Yes, two people together, what about you?" ”

As soon as the topic changed, Cheng Chuxia didn't know how to continue.

"Cheng Chuxia, you know that these difficulties and estrangements need to be faced by two people together, and both of them need to be brave, but what about you now?"

"But our situation is different......"

Lao Xie interrupted her, "Hey, what's different, isn't there two biggest problems when you fall in love, the first is whether he loves you or not, and the second is whether you love him or not, so I'll ask you now, do you want you to be like sisters and brothers in the future?" Or to put it another way, do you still love him? ”

Love?

It seems that she has been ignoring such a question.

Yes, throw away all kinds of everything, throw away other external factors, and only the simplest question remains, do you still love him?

She can pretend that nothing happened, deceive everyone with a calm and breezy appearance, she can pretend that she has no regrets and sadness, pretend that she is not a little reluctant, just try to forget.

But she can fool everyone, and she can't fool herself.

Love.

She loved him.

Seeing her silent, Lao Xie had already gotten the answer, "Cheng Chuxia, be brave, pursue what you want, don't let yourself have regrets and regrets after missing it again, life is really too short, I hope you can all be well." ”

Cheng Chuxia nodded, but soon sighed again, "It's a pity that the words of separation have already been said, he seems to be angry with me, maybe we are really like this." ”

Looking at their tangled appearance, Lao Xie seemed to be more anxious than them, "What are you afraid of when you are angry, go to him." ”

"He's in New York now, I don't have a visa, how can I go to him?"

Lao Xie patted his head lightly, "Ouch, I almost forgot about this, he came back, just downstairs in the playground, I asked your master and wife to drag them first before I called you up......"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Chuxia had already run out of the office.

Lao Xie shouted uncomfortably in the back, "Be careful, your master and wife specially wore a red dress today, it's easy to recognize, remember!" ”

Cheng Chuxia didn't look back, "I know!" ”

If there were a hundred steps between them, Han Rui had already taken 99 of them towards her, and the last step here should have been taken by her, and it was running.

Yes, she was going to see him and tell him that she loved him.

Tell him that they don't have to care about the world's eyes.

Tell him that they can face all the known and unknown difficulties together.

She's going to run to him and grab him.

A slender figure ran quickly up the stairs, long hair rising in the wind, chasing her in search of her heart.

……

On the other side, after Cheng Chuxia left the office, Lao Xie immediately dialed the phone.

The other side was connected almost without delay, and before Lao Xie could speak, the voice on the other side came first, "I asked you to persuade someone how you persuaded you, I haven't seen anyone for most of the time, I already know that you can't be trusted, why don't you let me come......"

"Isn't this going down, if you run, you should be there soon, pay attention to whether you see her."

The other end of the phone was a little anxious, "Oops, it's broken, they just left, wait, don't talk about it, I'll stop them first......"

As he spoke, the phone hung up, leaving only Lao Xie, who did not know the situation, in the office in a hurry.

Alas, if he knew this, it was better to let his daughter-in-law persuade others and go down to stop them himself.

I don't know if Cheng Chuxia can catch up......

The light rain that began to fall intermittently just now has not stopped, the rain is not too strong and not small, and the shooting of graduation photos has not been stopped, everyone is waiting for the rain to stop, and the playground is full of people.

Cheng Chuxia was anxiously looking for the red clothes and the familiar figure.

The boy running on the pitch, no.

The boy standing on the edge of the playground, no.

The back of the one who held up the camera to take a picture of everyone, no.

……

Neither.

There was a hint of Han Rui's characteristics on their bodies, but none of them were him.

Getting more and more anxious, Cheng Chuxia was not sure if they had already left, and while searching, he was also suspicious.

The rain has a tendency to get heavier and heavier, and Cheng Chuxia hurriedly quickened his pace, looking for it while running.

"Ahh

I didn't pay attention to the road ahead, and suddenly I bumped into someone.

Before she could say sorry, an umbrella was held up above her head to block the cool rain.

Cheng Chuxia was overjoyed, and quickly stood up from the ground, "Han-"

After seeing the person in front of him clearly, the word that came to his mouth was swallowed hard, because it was not Han Rui.

Cheng Chuxia ran a little panting, "Master...... What about Han Rui? Where is Han Rui? ”

My wife glanced at the school gate not far away with some regret.

Cheng Chuxia understood what she meant, and was about to pass, but was stopped by her.

"No need to go, he's already gone."

"Why?"

The mother's expression was a little evasive, and she didn't know whether to tell her the truth, but she finally said it.

"Han Rui just left."

"Just left?"

"When Lao Xie called me just now, he was already leaving, and I said you were looking for him, but he still left."

He knew she was looking for him, but he was gone.

Cheng Chuxia didn't know how to react.

He was really disappointed in her, and he was unwilling to give her more handouts for the last few minutes, and he didn't leave her the last little souvenir......

Cheng Chuxia felt that someone was gently patting her back, as if comforting and distressed.

"Okay, it's okay, he'll come back, he can't bear you."

Is it really reluctant? If you can't bear to do this, why do you want to go? Why didn't you wait for her for a few minutes on end?

Cheng Chuxia's mood gradually changed from full of hope to disappointment and depression.

She didn't know that Han Rui at this moment was even more uncomfortable than her, and the decision to leave her was the most difficult choice he had ever made.

It's not that he doesn't want to wait, he knows this, when Cheng Chuxia decided to come to him again, she was already destined to keep him, but he can't, the current Han Rui can't, he still needs to be treated, and I don't know how many recurrences there are, will there be other complications......

In the taxi, Xiao Qing asked him, "Xiao Rui, didn't you really give her a chance?" ”

Han Rui was silent and did not answer her words, Xiao Qing was also used to it, during this time, he was like this, the questions between them were always in the sea, there was no response, and they were swallowed up by silence.

Xiao Qing didn't believe that he could continue to be silent, because Cheng Chuxia was all his exceptions.

"Is it because you're afraid you're going to hurt her?"

……

"Xiao Rui, sometimes you have to be honest with yourself, don't deceive yourself, okay? You obviously can't let her go. ”

……

It seems that yes, he can't let her go, but when she runs towards him, why should she retreat and run away in embarrassment?

What does the chicken soup joke on Weibo say: If you can't get something, throw it out, and if it bounces back, it belongs to you.

But is it the same with feelings?

Han Rui didn't know.

He only knew that at this moment, he didn't want Cheng Chuxia to walk into him again when he was suspicious and uncertain, and he hoped more than anyone else that Cheng Chuxia made a decision after recognizing his heart, just like the wish he made under the fireworks that night.

My wish is you, Cheng Chuxia, have always been ......
