Chapter 172: Something Lost
"Long time no see, senior brother."
Yan Ruyu said with a smile.
After being silent for a while, Li Hao asked, "Are you here for a part-time job?" ”
"Hmm."
Yan Ruyu nodded, still maintaining a gentle smile on her face.
Li Hao suddenly didn't know what to do.
He didn't know anything about this 'descending' junior sister, her age, her past, and what happened between them, on Li Hao's side, they were all blank pages.
That wish divided his life into light and shadow, light is reality, his own personal life, shadow is nothingness, it is the shadow of reality, it is an illusion that only exists in the memory of others.
Now, these two lives are entangled and reshaped into a new and complete life, and he can no longer cut off any of them, because whether it is light or shadow, it is now his 'real' life.
What he needs is to face, to adapt, not to escape and deny.
But even so, in the face of a junior sister who is a stranger to him, but in fact, he is a childhood sweetheart, and the two have 'had' a relationship entanglement, he still feels embarrassed and overwhelmed.
It really confirms what it means to be "the most familiar stranger".
Li Hao pretended to glance around casually and asked, "When will your part-time job end?" ”
Yan Ruyu pulled the green silk in her ear and said, "Just wait for the game to end." ”
"Looks like you're quite fond of heroes, huh?"
As soon as he finished asking this sentence, Li Hao shouted in his heart.
Why does Yan Ruyu like League of Legends, isn't that obvious?
It's like asking people: Why do you like what I like?
Li Hao was a little annoyed, he subconsciously brought Yan Ruyu into the identity of the girl he had just met, and the questions he asked were very stupid in the eyes of the other party, and even a little deliberately ridiculed.
But Yan Ruyu just glanced at him, smiled and didn't say anything.
The breeze ruffled her hair, and Li Hao seemed to be able to see a trace of sadness in the depths of her eyes.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Li Hao coughed and said, "Let's have a meal together later." ”
Yan Ruyu looked at him in surprise and asked, "You don't have a sister-in-law...... She together? ”
"She's in class today, and she happens to be free."
Li Hao casually lied.
Yan Ruyu bit her lower lip and said with a smile: "It's okay, I haven't eaten with you for a long time." ”
Li Hao scratched his head and smiled: "It's been a long time." ”
I haven't eaten with you in eighteen years.
"Whoa!"
There were explosive cheers at the scene, Yan Ruyu looked at the LED screen, pulled her hair that was blown by the wind, and said with a smile: "You have always liked this game, I still remember that you used to play secretly during training time, and my grandfather found out, and as a result, you stood in the martial arts hall." ”
"But you still went all night for the second time, it really my grandfather at that time, and I almost kicked you out of the school......"
Yan Ruyu smiled and whispered, her face was full of memories and remembrance, but Li Hao heard the loneliness from her tone, he remained silent and listened quietly.
Yan Ruyu muttered to herself for a while, probably finding that Li Hao did not respond, and also stopped, and the two of them quietly watched the lively scene, with different thoughts.
"Hello, can you take a photo?"
A couple of girls walked over and asked.
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu smiled and nodded, and put the hood back on, Timo's cheap smile covered her face, bloated and cute.
Li Hao looked at the girls who were taking photos with Yan Ruyu with a happy face, and now his mood was as entangled as a twist, thinking about how to deal with the relationship with Yan Ruyu.
Now that he has maintained a delicate balance between Lin Qingyu and Chen Xilu, without the intervention of a third party, the Shura Field crisis will not break out for the time being.
He didn't want to add variables because of Yan Ruyu, but the two were nominal childhood sweethearts, if he suddenly became indifferent and alienated from her, it would be too unusual and easy to arouse suspicion among others, and it was estimated that his cheap master would cut him first.
Alas......
Sure enough, the relationship between men and women is one of the most complex problems in the world.
The game ended not long after, but there was a steady stream of people looking for Yan Ruyu to take photos, Li Hao waited on the side for a while, and Yan Ruyu, who took off the puppet costume, hurriedly walked over and apologized: "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting." ”
"It's okay, I just figured out two philosophical questions."
Li Hao said casually, "Let's go, go to the canteen or the commercial center?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Yan Ruyu tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "The cafeteria, I haven't been there for a long time." ”
“OK。”
The two came to the second meal, and after finishing the meal, they found the couple card seats in the corner and sat down opposite each other.
After Yan Ruyu sat down, she looked at the food on the plate and was stunned, seeing that she was in a little wrong, Li Hao asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Ah...... Oh, it's fine. ”
Yan Ruyu showed a reluctant smile, picked up the dishes and ate them.
Li Hao glanced at her deeply, nodded and said nothing, and the two of them dined quietly separately.
A ginkgo biloba leaf blown off by the autumn wind swayed past the window and landed on the table.
"Do you remember, when the teacher told us to find leaf specimens, the ginkgo forest you took me to."
Yan Ruyu said suddenly.
Of course, Li Hao didn't remember, but he replied superficially: "Hmm." ”
"At that time, my eyes were full of golden ginkgo leaves, which was really beautiful, and if you returned it, you will give me a ...... in the future"
Yan Ruyu sniffed and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry...... I'm more. ”
"It's okay, I'm nostalgic too."
Li Hao actually wanted to hear about the "past" between them, but it was too abrupt to take the initiative to ask, so he could only knock on the side like this.
However, Yan Ruyu did not continue, the two finished their meal quietly and came to the campus for a walk side by side.
Tonight's moonlight was blocked by clouds, and only the street lamps were lonely in the night wind, and the whole campus seemed empty and dark.
"Senior brother, do you remember the last time we took a walk like this?"
Yan Ruyu looked at the empty road.
"Ho ho~"
Li Hao scratched his head, how could he answer, he knew a ghost.
Without waiting for Li Hao to answer, Yan Ruyu continued to say to herself: "Before 41." ”
"Don't you think it's been a long time?"
“emmmmmmm……”
Li Hao smiled awkwardly, even if he was clever and clever, he didn't know how to answer now.
"Actually, I've been fantasizing about walking around the campus with you when I go to college, lying in the moonlight, holding you, and dyeing your clothes with my smell."
"Go shopping with you, watch movies, eat ice cream, walk all over the streets and alleys of Huacheng, let you take me to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, swim on the seaside in Hainan, build a snowman on the Mohe River, ride the association by Qinghai Lake..."
Yan Ruyu choked up, and Li Hao found out with the help of the light of the street lamp that at some point, her eyes were already full of tears.
"I'm really happy to spend time with you."
Yan Ruyu smiled embarrassedly, and said while wiping her tears: "I still have the "Norwegian Wood" you gave me on the shelf, and there is still a tape of "Sunny" that you sang to me in the drawer, and I still treasure the letter you wrote to me when I was in high school, but ......"
Yan Ruyu wiped her tears, but the more she wiped them.
"I ......"
Li Hao opened his mouth to think about something, and found that his voice had become hoarse at some point.
"Don't you, listen to me!"
Yan Ruyu interrupted Li Hao's words angrily, and looked at him with red eyes: "Actually, I'm still very unwilling, the skirt I just bought hasn't had time to put on to show you, a new milk tea shop has opened in the school, I always want to invite you to try it, I heard that the Geminid meteor shower in December is very beautiful, and I have always wanted to ...... with you."
"Now that I think about it, it's all wishful thinking, and suddenly I feel like it's all wrong......"
"In the future, we can also watch it together......"
Li Hao's chest was stuffy and uncomfortable, and he felt as if something was about to be lost.
Yan Ruyu shook her head, tears slipped from the corners of her mouth, but a bright smile appeared on her face: "You don't understand, it's different, it's not the only one for girls, it doesn't make sense......"
She stood on tiptoe to help Li Hao brush his hair: "Senior brother, you have to take good care of yourself and that beautiful girl in the future." ”
"I'm leaving."
Li Hao stretched out his hand to grab her wrist, but Yan Ruyu shook it off, and soon her figure disappeared into the hazy night Zheng
Li Hao squatted down and felt a lot of tightness in his chest.
It seems that something, just now, was really lost......
