"Which one?" As if the spirit came all of a sudden, Xia Yuan moved away from the wall with an incredulous expression.

Su Xin twisted her neck, because she had been staring at Xia Yuan to speak, her neck was a little stiff, and she could clearly hear the sound of Kaci when she was active at this time.

"Which one?" Xia Yuan raised his voice significantly.

"Aren't you very confident? Say you've read every one of them. ”

"That'...... But you said so. ”

Su Xin nodded: "Well, there is indeed something you didn't see." With that, she pointed to the side.

Moving his gaze to the direction pointed by Su Xin, under the illumination of the moonlight, Xia Yuan stared at the only touch of red under the pale scene, and his heart was furious.

"Don't tell me...... Still have a letter in your mailbox? Xia Yuan's eyes widened like the moon overhead.

"Can't you just open it and see it?" Su Xin bent down slightly, spread his hands and made a "please" movement.

Xia Yuan looked at the mailbox, it was rusty, like a person with lupus erythematosus in a biology book, it stood there like this, I don't know how many years of erosion. If there is such a letter written by Xun Ran to himself, then how long has it been alone in it.

"Have you seen it yet?"

"Oops! Look at it. Su Xin stroked her hair a little impatiently, she rubbed her shoulders, "It's cold, I don't really want to stay in this place for too long, if I catch a cold, I have to ask!" ”

Xia Yuan agreed, looking at the red mailbox again.

He moved closer to it, not taking a single step, as if the closer he got to the mailbox, the more gravity intensified, tugging at his legs and stopping him from moving forward.

"Hurry up!" Su Xin urged, jumping behind him.

Xia Yuan's hand was on the handle, and there was no lock on it, even in its current state, it was slightly hidden. He felt like he had been electrocuted, and the tingling sensation began to widen from his fingers, and quickly spread through his arms, up to his brain, and down to his toes, and his heart beating like a drum being beaten.

With a screeching sound, the mailbox was opened.

After staring at it for a while, Xia Yuan's eyes widened, constantly looking for something inside the dusty interior.

Su Xin couldn't help but take a few steps back, she thought that there would be rats or something inside, after all, when she came to see it before, she saw a huge spider, one person and one spider looked at each other, and they were all frightened and scurrying wildly. When she opened it again, it was picked with a tree branch a few meters away.

"This ......" Xia Yuan turned his head, his brows squeezed into a pimple, "nothing." ”

Inside the gray-red mailbox, in addition to scraping off the dust that can hold a basin, there is only a huge spider web left, and the musty smell is blowing on his face, Xia Yuan has to pinch his nose.

A light suddenly appeared in the back, and it was Su Xin who turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone.

"Take a closer look." She took a picture of the mailbox.

Xia Yuan's eyes were shining in the dark night, and his eyesight had never been bad, and his sharp gaze like a goshawk scanned the inside of the mailbox again.

His mouth opened wide in surprise.

There really was a letter, and it leaned on, no, to be exact, almost attached to the inside of the mailbox, bent into an arc, covered with a thick layer of dust, gray and red mixed together, exactly the same color as the inside of the mailbox.

When Xia Yuan reached in directly to get it, Su Xin almost screamed.

She was afraid that the spider would come out and bite him.

It looks like the eight-legged "monster" has given up on this habitat.

Xia Yuan shook the envelope in his hand, and the dust on it swept through the air like a blizzard and fell to the ground, staining the originally black ground with a layer of dust.

The original color of the envelope should be parchment.

"You haven't taken it out?" Xia Yuan asked.

"Of course not."

"Then how do you know this...... It was Xun Ran's statement, and it was ...... How do you know when the last letter is left here......"

"Oh, don't worry."

Su Xin turned off the flashlight, and the darkness immediately hit again, fortunately, the moonlight was still bright, and under the light blue light, Xia Yuan's face was full of disbelief, and he muttered something in his mouth.

"How could it be...... How to ......"

"Do you remember when you stopped coming to the email to reply to Xun Ran?"

"I ...... Like, I can't remember the specific time, but I didn't reply to the letter, it seems that because Xun Ran no longer stuffed the letter into the mailbox. At least for a while I remember it very clearly, it was autumn, and as the clothes got thicker and thicker, I started to shed my leaves from the maple trees until the sky was snowflakes, and every week, ...... Friday! Right! Every Friday after school, I would find a time to check in the mailbox, and for about four months, I never stopped, but in the mailbox, there was no reply. ”

"Hmm......" Su Xin nodded thoughtfully.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Combine the stories of you and Ranran, and things will become clear." She clasped her hands around and began to narrate, "You have been writing letters to each other since the fifth grade, and the time for replying to each other is not fixed, but there are more than 100 letters, large and small, and you coax her like a child because you like her. It wasn't until a year later, in the fall of sixth grade, that Xun Ran wrote you her last letter, and she told me that she wrote her answer to you, and it did put it in the mailbox. So far, you have never replied to the letter, and you have not even taken this letter. ”

"Autumn?" Xia Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Impossible!" Every ...... I do"

"Yes!" Su Xin interrupted him and raised his index finger, "You come every Friday night, maybe it's a fact, but the envelope is in the mailbox, it's also a fact, I say so, do you understand?" ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Stupid! It's time that matters! Can't you just change the time, like during the day? Just once? Yes? Su Xin's fingers kept poking Xia Yuan's shoulder, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

"When?"

Xia Yuan had an epiphany, raised his head suddenly, and a wave of unwillingness and surprise surged towards him, and he opened his mouth wide in shock.

"Yes, as you saw just now, this envelope is the color of parchment, exactly the same color as the inside of the mailbox, and it is also attached to the inner wall of the mailbox. Even just now, if I turn on the flashlight, you still have to look for it for a long time. That's right, classmate Xia Yuan, it's always been here, and Xun Ran's answer has always been in front of your eyes every Friday. It's just that you are too impatient, and the night is too dark, blindfolded you. ”

As if the light leaked out from Xia Yuan's eyes and scattered all over the ground, he looked at the envelope blankly, and slowly fell against the wall.

"Oh my God...... It's mine...... Oh my God......" Xia Yuan's lips couldn't help but tremble.

"It's a pity." Su Xin pursed his lips, "You have had a crush on each other for so many years, but in fact, there has long been an opportunity for you to be together." It's just that you think she didn't reply to the letter and become disheartened; She thought you had received a reply, but she didn't make a fuss about it. ”

"Oh my God......." Xia Yuan felt that his breath was stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out, and the feeling of suffocation made his whole body hot and numb, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.

It's a pity, it's true, Su Xin feels sorry for these two people, obviously they are the most suitable pair in the world, but they have to miss so much time. Meeting the right person at the right time is one of the greatest luckies in the world, how many people do their best, but they are still defeated by time and coincidence. And yet they staggered perfectly, as if they were deliberately for this. On the other hand, they were lucky, at least until now, and finally both of them understood each other's hearts.

Before coming, Su Xin talked to Xun Ran.

——————————————

Su Xin said: "Ranran, please listen to me carefully." ”

"No need." Xun Ran shook his head, and there was no light in his eyes. "I know, Xia Yuan likes you, I bless ......"

"Stop, stop!" Su Xin hurriedly stopped her, "Don't play a bitter drama for me here!" This is not a vulgar plot, what Xia Yuan likes, it is definitely you! ”

Xun Ran's eyes obviously had a glimmer of light.

"What?"

"Give me a day, and I can prove it to you! Just one day, please wait! I'll dig out all the truest thoughts in his heart and show you. In fact, he has a good impression of you no less than you. I've never let you down, have I? ”

After a long time, Xun Ran nodded.

——————————————

Originally, Su Xin thought that Xun Ran had hidden her emotions deep enough, but until now, she didn't realize that between the two, maybe Xia Yuan's feelings were even deeper.

Xia Yuan turned his head in a daze and looked at the red mailbox.

It is this letter that it guards.

Yes, the red mailbox is old, this old guardian of the dragon clock, has hidden this secret here, guarded it for five years, if he is a real living person, will he breathe a sigh of relief and tears for a long time?

"Coincidentally, you know? You're so lucky. Su Xin put her hand in her pocket and slowly stood next to Xia Yuan, looking up at the night sky, her pair of crystal crescent eyes were shining. This road will be rebuilt in a week, and this mailbox will be demolished at that time. Then this secret will disappear in this world, and no one will be able to discover it again. ”

Xia Yuan didn't seem to hear it, he still stared at the envelope blankly, but he didn't have the desire to open it and look at it.

After a long time, he finally spoke: "What should I do?" ”

"I don't know."

"I don't know ......"

"Cut, what am I doing in the business of the two of you." Su Xin spread his hand.

"Are you embarrassed to say that now?" Xia Yuan smiled.

"Hmph." Su Xin arched his nose, "I don't care about it in the future!" You're really in trouble, and you're in control of what happens next. Although I don't know what the specific content of the letter is, I believe that after reading it, you should ...... You'll know how. ”

Xia Yuan didn't know where to drop a drop of water on his arm, he thought it was going to rain, but there were few clouds in the sky.

"Alright, I'm leaving!" Su Xin shook his hair and walked towards the bicycle.

"Where are you going?" Xia Yuan stood up.

"I'm sorry, you lost today's bet, so I'm not your girlfriend, so there's no need to report to you!" Su Xin blinked, smiled playfully, and then rode the car, driving the moonlight like a dream, all the way out of Xia Yuan's realization.

Su Xin rode about five kilometers, and these five kilometers, she rode faster and faster, because time seemed to be too late for her to grind.

Racing all the way, she overtook many electric cars, and finally stopped breathlessly in front of a night convenience store, which was steaming hot, and it was supposed to be oden or something. The store was shrouded in mist, but Su Xin had already seen a familiar silhouette of a figure through the hazy glass.

"It's still too late." Su Xin sighed, the car was not locked, and he was about to enter the store.

Before entering the store, she took a deep breath and kept telling herself: this is her own decision, and she can't regret it, and she can't run away from it.

The automatic door in front of Su Xin opened with a bang.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Su Xin beckoned with a smile.

"Hmm." Zheng Mu in the store nodded in response.

On the other side of the moonlight, Xia Yuan slowly leaned against the wall, without hesitation, opened the letter, because it had been dried for a long time, the glue had dried like dirt.

The pink and white letter paper was mottled, and Xia Yuan slowly unfolded the response to this letter five years ago with mixed feelings.
