326. Parting again

Su Xiao went to work in a design company, and Xia Zhi didn't ask for details, but today Saturday, except for a perverted boss like her, no one chose to move the office on the weekend.

So Su Xiao was at home without any surprise.

The floor was still as clean as new, and Xia Zhi took the initiative to take off his shoes as soon as he entered the door, and pretended to complain lightly: "People who love cleanliness like you are simply first-class protected animals." ”

He chuckled: "Don't you have obsessive-compulsive disorder too?" I also love to organize things. ”

"I'm lazy, in order to find things conveniently, and I'm fundamentally different from you."

She entered the house, and he followed her and opened the Xiaoice box in the hallway: "Do you want beer?" ”

"Uh, no...... It's cold and I want to drink some hot water. "Actually, I don't want to drink in front of him anymore, and that time in Peng Chau, it was really embarrassing.

"Then I'll make you a cup of coffee."

She warmed her hand with the coffee cup he gave her, and took out the sketchbook in her bag: "Excuse me...... It should have been given to you a long time ago...... I don't know who put it away in the café......"

When he saw the book, his face twitched: "Where did you find this book?" ”

“…… Ling Xin gave it to me in the hospital. She involuntarily lowered her voice, and only four months had passed, and she thought that he must not have been able to let go, "I'm sorry...... He asked me to pass it on to you, but I forgot ......"

His eyes fell on the notebook, and he couldn't leave it for a long time: "So...... Have you seen it? ”

She put the notebook on the table and pushed it to him, thinking to herself, he really cared. She flipped through it casually at that time because Ling Xin asked her to read it, and she didn't remember that this was Su Xiao's sketchbook. If she had remembered earlier, she wouldn't have flipped around.

Now, she had no choice but to admit: "Hmm...... Turn a few pages. ”

He pressed his hand to the notebook for a moment before saying, "Okay." I know. ”

"I'm sorry......" she always said that he used to apologize, but this time she thought she needed to apologize this time, for something she shouldn't forget, or for her to look at it randomly.

"There's nothing to be sorry about." He said very simply, then after a pause, he said, "You're my sister." ”

Xia Solstice was stunned for a while, as if a can of Coke had been poured on his heart, and countless bubbles condensed and burst. Yes, she is his sister, this is their original relationship, and it is also the safest relationship.

For a moment, she had forgotten. I'm really old, and I'm still forgetful. It is because she is his sister that he will accept her help to cross the line, and she can run to him selflessly.

"yes...... she replied with a low brow, "it feels like watching you grow up." When I first met you, I was a little boy...... It's been almost ten years...... We've known each other for almost 10 years, ha......"

She didn't know what she was talking about. She was embarrassed and at a loss, but fortunately he answered in time: "I may have to leave Nanzhou." ”

The heart that had just been relaxed asked again: "Why? Where are you going? ”

"The design company I work for now is the one run by my mother's friend, and they are going to set up a branch in Shanghai, and they may transfer me there."

"Oh......" Xia Zhi responded numbly, so she should congratulate him, right? Yes, right? But she couldn't say anything.

He didn't speak again, and the two sat silently, neither looking at the other. She pressed her coffee cup to her hands and felt it go from warm to cold.

"It's time for me to go." She said.

It's terrible that they have nothing to say. Soaring Chinese

"Okay." His answer was colder than hers.

He sent her out, the door opened, she went out, and he stood inside the door.

He didn't close the door right away, she didn't leave right away, she felt a burning sensation in her back.

In the end, she couldn't help but turn around, she said, "When are you going to leave?" ”

He was stunned for a moment: "I don't know...... Let's look at the company's arrangement. I didn't ask. ”

So is it going to go at any time? Will he tell her? Or like last time, without saying goodbye? Well, this may be the last time they see each other.

It's cruel enough, a parting without a schedule, and I don't know if we'll see each other again.

How about the last time...... She whispered to herself. Even if he hated her for it, it would be the last time.

She puffed up her breath and took a sharp step towards him, closing her eyes and throwing herself into his arms. She didn't dare to look him in the eye, for fear that a glance would dissolve all her courage.

"You're the only ...... There won't be another ...... like yours Younger brother. She said in a faint breath.

"Uh-huh......" He finally hugged her, his arms tight for three seconds before releasing them.

All who do not belong to her will leave, and instead of being left behind in embarrassment, it is better to exit early in style.

"Take care, don't miss me!" She turned straight out of his arms and walked away, without looking back at him.

Her steps were stiff, but her steps were firm. She didn't hear the door closing, not knowing if she wasn't paying attention or if he was really watching her go.

She was afraid to look back and see the empty hallway, and she was afraid to see him waving politely. Even when she walked into the elevator and pressed the button, she turned her back to the door, and turned her head slightly to find the key with the corner of her eye.

It wasn't until the elevator doors closed that she was completely relaxed. With a long exhale, she seemed to be holding her breath unconsciously, almost suffocating.

She walked towards the MixC subway station, but when she walked to the station entrance, she didn't enter the station in a trance. She entered the MixC by surprise and wandered aimlessly.

She started from the first floor and walked up the escalator floor by floor, she didn't want to buy anything, she wasn't interested in everything, she just didn't want to stop.

Then, in front of the window of a newly opened bookstore on the third floor, she finally stopped.

A model of a snowman of her height in the window caught her eye. Behind the snowman is a huge advertisement for a new book:

[Popular picture book star Su Xiao has been silent for three years, and warmly returns to the heart of "Guardian" to move the winter]

The book cover on the advertisement is a colored pencil drawing of the interior of the room, which is covered with snowstorms, and the snowman is facing away from the window, peaceful and happy. Outside the window, the little boy smiled contentedly as he clung to the windowpane.

This is the picture book he showed her, and it has finally been published. He didn't tell her. For the first time, his picture book was published without her knowledge. The author, editor-in-charge, or planning editor of the book is not her.

Without her, Su Xiao can still draw moving picture books, and she is nothing by his side.

She stood in front of the window, staring at the smiling snowman.

Suddenly, it dawned on her. That year, she was moved because she already knew that the little boy who was guarding the snowman outside the window and didn't dare to approach was her.
