Late at night, the roommates had already fallen asleep, but Bai Ye still didn't feel sleepy, although the fleeting figure he saw under the tree on the side of the sports field in the afternoon didn't see his face clearly, but that familiar feeling would only be there when she appeared. Thinking about it, Bai Ye became more and more sure that it must be her.

But since she's here, why is she still avoiding me?

Since the messages in his space stopped, she seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her life, and now it was more like she had completely disappeared from the world, completely out of sight, and he didn't even know where she was now, what she was doing.

Suddenly, countless memories flooded into his mind, and Bai Ye remembered their first acquaintance, the childhood they spent together, the process of coming together, the countless moments they had been together, and the almost identical pictures that they had dreamed of more than once.

She just stood at a distance and smiled quietly, not responding to his cries, and he couldn't get closer, and though he kept walking towards her, the distance between them had always been so far, no more, no less.

By the way, she once said that she also had such a dream.

Bai Ye didn't know when he fell asleep, but he felt that this night was incomparably long. When I woke up, it was already dawn, and my roommates were already sitting in front of the computer and busy, Bai Ye turned over and got out of bed and washed his face with cold water, trying to sober up his somewhat drowsy head.

It's been a few days since he left the question defense, Bai Ye quickly plunged into the literature pile again, and he had no time to continue thinking about Chen Xiaodi's affairs for the time being, no matter what, the subject could not be relaxed, and he must not want to waste his studies, after all, it was what she dreamed of, and he was now carrying the dream of the two of them.

A few days are fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day of the opening defense, the small conference room is full of people, the atmosphere is extremely solemn, Bai Ye even feels that he is more nervous than when he defends his undergraduate graduation, although the subject is not yet officially started, but the workload of this preliminary preparation is also huge, and he really doesn't want to start from scratch.

In such a high-pressure atmosphere, the long wait will become more and more tormenting, but fortunately, Bai Ye finally passed smoothly, and then he can start to work on the theme of the project. When he walked out of the small conference room, Bai Ye felt that the whole world was much brighter, and it seemed that the burden on his heart was lifted, and everything suddenly became clear.

Taking out his mobile phone, Bai Ye suddenly found that the girl who had been silent in his list for a long time finally sent him a message, and he was full of joy and quickly clicked on the message, but he didn't expect it to be a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

"Let's break up."

It's a simple five words, but it's enough to collapse his whole world. Bai Ye stood in place, his brain was blank, and the roommate who came out later saw that he was not in a good state and stepped forward to ask a few words, but saw that he was still just standing there stunned, as if he didn't hear their words.

was taken back to the dormitory by his roommate in a daze, Bai Ye sat at the desk and looked at the phone screen blankly, the series of questions he sent in the past were like a stone sinking into the sea, Chen Xiaodi's avatar has been dimmed, and it has never lit up again.

Bai Ye's heart was full of questions, he wanted to ask clearly no matter what, but right now, not only Chen Xiaodi, but even Chen's father and mother couldn't be contacted anyway.

Why is that? What happened during the time when she suddenly had no news?

The anxious Bai Ye called his parents, but the result was that the family had already moved away, and they didn't know where they had moved, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they hadn't been in touch.

"How so? Just live right on the opposite door, how can you not know that they moved away! ”

The white leaves on the other end of the phone were almost roaring, for the first time in so many years, Mother Bai had seen him like this.

"I happened to go to the study meeting in the other place a few days ago, and when I came back, they had already moved out."

"But didn't you accompany your aunt to see the house when you were resting? Don't you know where they ended up buying? ”

"I did accompany her to see a lot before, and I originally fancied a few places, but in the end I paid a deposit and didn't buy it, either the children were not around and couldn't sign, or they had to pay the full amount, or the landlord's procedures hadn't been completed, and then she didn't want to continue to look at me and didn't ask again, I don't know when she saw the right one again."

"Even if that doesn't make sense, there's no way they won't tell us when they moved! And not only can't I contact Xiaodi, but even my uncle and aunt's mobile phone numbers have been changed, which is too strange! Mom, tell me honestly, what happened during this time? ”

"You ask me, where do I know where to go? I'd like to find them out and ask them about it! ”

"No, I'm going to find her!"

"Where are you going to find this directionless? And if you come back, what will happen to your internship and project? ”

"I can't care so much, I'm not in the mood to think about that right now!"

"Xiaoye! Calm down! ”

Father Bai, who had been sitting next to him and didn't speak, finally spoke, and his stern tone made Bai Ye calm down a little.

"I can't calm down, I finally got a message from her, but do you know what she sent me?! She told me to break up! How do you calm me down?! ”

In the face of his son's roar, Father Bai was unusually calm, and Mother Bai on the other end of the phone was not too surprised, and the two worked together to calm Bai Ye's emotions.

"I know you care about that kid, and so do we, but what can you do when you rush out so headlessly? No matter what the reason for saying this, and what the reason for their family to say goodbye, Xiaodi must not want to see you so impulsive. ”

"But why can't she give me an explanation? It's just a sentence, is it that hard? ”

Bai Ye sat on the sofa dejectedly, his head so low that he was almost buried in the crook of his arm, and tears kept in his eyes, but he never let them fall.

"Xiao Ye, listen to your father, don't worry too much, you can do the project with peace of mind first, we will help you find her, don't forget, Xiaodi's heart is to go to graduate school, you can't give up halfway now that you have this opportunity."

Bai Ye was silent, still just keeping his head down, he looked at the small snowflake-patterned keychain in his palm, recalling every day they were together. He had imagined countless futures for them, and he had imagined that one day they would quarrel over some trivial matter, but he didn't expect that all of this might be over before it could happen.

What's the problem? Am I overlooking something?

Bai Ye kept asking himself, but he never found an answer.
