Volume 1 Sudden Encounters and First Acquaintances Chapter 1 The Corner Cafe
The sky was dripping with a little rain, the gray refused to let go of the sun, and the damp streets filled the air with an irritating oppression.
Lu Fan rode his bicycle to the corner of the street, he looked up at the red and colorful five words, and there was some indescribable impatience in his heart, since the last time he had an unpleasant scene, Lu Fan had not seen his girlfriend for two consecutive weeks, but today, he suddenly received a text message from his girlfriend, asking him to meet in the café where they first met.
Lu Fan knows the character of his girlfriend, they are all the kind of people who are stubborn and have high self-esteem, this may be a common problem of art students, and it seems to outsiders to be very cold, but this is by no means an additive to a good life, there is nothing bumps and bumps between couples, but in these two art students, the love between them, who are used to pursuing perfection, has become more glazed.
Thinking of the bits and pieces of the past three years, Lu Fan's gaze slowly softened, he likes a person's life and calm, but Xia Xue makes him accustomed to the beauty of getting along with the two of them, he is a person who is not good at expressing emotions, but he understands how much he loves Xia Xue, that woman, as if she was born with Lu Fan, whether it is a verbal conversation or every action in life, there is always an indescribable tacit understanding between them, even if the two of them stay quietly, there seems to be warm emotions flowing in the air.
After a period of separation, Lu Fan missed it with a lot of desire, thinking of the upcoming meeting, Lu Fan's heart was hot, the contradiction of feelings, always needed someone to give in first, if it was still too late, he was willing to stretch out his hands first, Lu Fan slowly pushed open the glass door, and with a casual sweep of his eyes, he could notice that touch of shadow in the huge café.
"Sorry, I'm late. Lu Fan sat down opposite Xia Xue.
"No, you're punctual, I'm early————。 The stunned dullness appeared in a moment, but this inexplicable embarrassment made Lu Fan at a loss, when, there would be this kind of restraint between them, a relatively speechless scene, Lu Fan was full of words, but he couldn't say it somehow.
"Let's-break up!" What broke this deadlock was indeed a sentence that Lu Fan couldn't believe, he looked at Xia Xue's face blankly, "Goodbye." Pursing her lips, Xia Xue picked up the bag she was carrying and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Wait--why? There's no need for this between us, right?" Feeling the resoluteness released by the once bright eyes, Lu Fan only felt a glimpse of his chest, at this moment, he didn't want to pay attention to the self-esteem choked in his throat, Lu Fan hurriedly said to hold back.
"You never understand, and you never think about me, with you, I can't see the future between us, maybe we can't escape that spell, two people who pursue art, can never be together. Xia Xue tried her best to suppress the tears in her eyes, but she couldn't suppress it, she was ruthless, "Let's forget the past three years, from now on, we are strangers to each other, and no one should disturb anyone's life." ”
Looking at the back of the decisive departure, Lu Fan's head was in a mess, only to feel that the world was turned upside down, and the whole world echoed with the quarrel two weeks ago, "In addition to books and paintings in your eyes, will there be me, I don't know what I am with you for, can't you put down the things in your hands and pay a little attention to my feelings." ”
"Why didn't I pay attention to your feelings, today you are on vacation, I didn't come over to accompany you, Xia Xue, don't stay up and make trouble, okay. ”
"I'm vexatious? You said that you came to accompany me, that is, you have been fiddling with your painting homework all morning, have you ever thought that I am your girlfriend, I have to face the reality, maybe I am not mature enough, but I don't want to play with you at this time. ”~~~~~~
The long entanglement wore down Lu Fan's patience, "Okay, Xia Xue, let's stop arguing, okay?" He wanted to hold Xia Xue's hand.
"I can't calm down. Xia Xue shook Lu Fan away suddenly, "Do you know that it is your calmness that makes me feel that I am the only one who has been playing this one-man show all along, I am tired, really tired." ”
The two of them remained silent for a while, and after a while, finally, "I don't want to continue, from the beginning, I was chasing, and you just passively accepted, I gave so much, and all I got was a response from you, so it's tiring to follow your footsteps all the time." Lu Fan looked at Xia Xue whispering weakly, his heart was very irritable, he couldn't understand why they had this kind of scene, their past shouldn't be a rare beauty, why everything completely subverted his thoughts, "Perhaps, we should calm down." ”
This was the last thing Lu Fan said to Xia Xue that day, until today.
The rain in the sky gradually became heavier, and Lu Fan stood at the door of the café in a daze, I don't know how long it lasted, "Beep!" The crisp whistle woke up Lu Fan, he leaned slightly to the side of the road, only to see an Audi turn in front of him and leave, suddenly, from the back glass of the car saw a familiar back, Lu Fan carefully annotated the outline of the back, the whole person fell into confusion, just when the Audi car just disappeared around the corner, Lu Fan chased forward violently, but with a period of running, Lu Fan helplessly watched the rear of the car gradually pull away until it disappeared.
Running wildly in a direction, Lu Fan stood on a remote road, wandering in despair, he didn't know what he was doing, from birth to now, he had never been so out of control, as if he was not like the original self, his proud self-control, careful and flexible mind, in this race called love has no effect, until now, he still doesn't understand, who did he lose to?
Walking many streets in a daze, Lu Fan looked at the signs on the side of the road, now he just wants to go back to his bed, don't want anything, sleep hard, what if you break up, life has to go on, no one can live without anyone in this world, with the idea of self-deception, he quickened his pace and walked in the direction of home.
The rain was suddenly heavy, Lu Fan was not in time, wet all over the body, the rain accompanied by the cold hair on the forehead, a piece of clothing also attached to the body, Lu Fan walked in the rain unconsciously, suddenly, he seemed to notice something, looked up at the sky, at this moment, the whole world suddenly became a darkness, the light of the sun was leaving, the earth seemed to sink in the dark, all the light objects were useless, as if covered by an inexplicable substance its light, under the five fingers of the hand, faintly, Lu Fan seemed to hear the horn of the car, but, he could not command the body to make any movements, in an instant he lost his consciousness, but nothing has changed in front of him, it is still dead silent.
