"How did I not know?" Pan Rui glanced at Xia Zhi softly and said, "Have you forgotten?" I've also struggled in Nanzhou. ”

How could she have forgotten the experience? Every embarrassing past will one day become the most valuable treasure in life.

It's just that, the most regrettable thing is that they didn't advance and retreat together at the beginning. Xia Zhi smiled faintly and said, "You didn't struggle, I was struggling." ”

"Hmm." Pan Rui lowered his head and said, "At that time, I was young, lacking courage, and arrogant, and I always felt that this city had treated me badly. ”

"The city doesn't treat anyone badly, you feel like it's wronging you because you're not paying enough."

"yes, don't talk about it, I was too young at that time."

Xia Zhi also laughed at him: "When you were working in Nanzhou, you always felt that something was wrong, it seemed that you alone in the world knew what to do, and everyone else was stupid, and those fools were still arrogant to you one by one." ”

He smiled slightly awkwardly: "You should have scolded me in the first place." ”

"I said that, and then you think I'm stupid too." Whenever that happens, the summer solstice doesn't talk much, and a person who pretends to be asleep will never wake up.

However, maybe she was still responsible, after all, she was no one else at the time, they were the closest companions. At that time, she felt that there was no need to change him, and if she liked him, she accepted him completely, including his shortcomings.

Now, she also believes that loving someone is greater in acceptance, but on the premise of acceptance, she has the obligation to take the initiative to become better for the other person.

Good love is to open up a new world, not to put yourself in a cage.

Pan Rui asked her, "Was I a bastard at that time?" I can't do anything well, and I still don't listen to persuasion. ”

"Everyone's a bastard, and you're not the only one." In fact, only six years have passed. Six years seems like a long time, but in a person's life, it is just a blink of an eye.

"If I had stayed in Nanzhou then, what would have happened now?" He didn't ask what would happen to them, but Xia Zhi knew that he meant it.

Who knows? Maybe they'll get married, maybe they'll still separate. On a whim, maybe if there is another parallel world behind each one, they will have a different ending.

However, Xia Solstice chose a not-so-good hypothesis and said: "Maybe you will be poor, and you will not have the next meal." ”

He frowned and said, "Xia Solstice, are you going to curse me like this?" ”

She smiled and said, "It's just a reminder to cherish the stability of the present." ”

He was quiet for a moment, probably because her words reminded him of his home in Taeseong. He is a man with a family, and having a family is stable.

He shook his head, and the smile on his lips seemed slightly reluctant: "Hungry, aren't you?" I've found a nice music bar, can I try it? ”

"Yes."

As he waited on the escalator to the top floor of the mall, his shoulders touched her gently, and she had nowhere to hide, so she stepped back a step, and he looked back at her, and she looked down to avoid his gaze.

The dining bar is a large open room of nearly two or three hundred square meters, which is dimly lit and delicately decorated with literary and exquisite decorations. The first floor has a dark wooden floor, and after the main entrance bypasses the artificial flower screen, at the end is a small stage with an LCD splicing screen.

Jazz drums, keyboards, electric bass, electric guitar and acoustic guitar are placed on the stage, and a giant artificial tree is planted on one side of the stage, and pink fake flowers cover the entire top of the stage. When they entered, the band members were debugging instruments and equipment.

The lower half of the walls of the restaurant are made of wooden boards of the same color as the floor, and the upper half is made of dark gray concave and convex cultural bricks, and small European-style landscape sketches are hung every two or three meters. The walls on either side are separated by mint-green low glass panes into several booths, and in the center are a number of tables lit with white iron cage candlesticks.

Xia Zhi knows this restaurant, the wind reviews are good, and the popularity is very strong. Today, probably because of the early arrival, the first floor is not yet full. Trina

On the second floor, there are glass houses embedded in the walls on both sides, which are equivalent to small boxes with more privacy, and at the same time have a better viewing angle for the performances on the stage.

Pan Rui asked Xia Zhi: "Where do you want to sit?" ”

"Whatever." Xia Solstice looked around the field and handed over the choice to Pan Rui.

"Then sit on it, it's more comfortable to listen to the songs."

Pan Rui chose the glass room closest to the stage and took the lead in climbing the small white wooden ladder.

After going upstairs, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Xia Zhi, but Xia Zhi didn't give him his hand, and he climbed the house by holding on to the door frame. Pan Rui's hand hung in the air, and he rubbed his palm with his fingers in embarrassment.

She ignored him and sat down on the olive-green leather sofa, hugging an embroidered pillow.

"You're not afraid of this height, are you?" He sat down and asked her, of course he remembered that she was afraid of heights.

"It's okay if you don't move." She said. I'm scared and feel dangerous, but it's still very safe here.

After reading the menu, Pan Rui rang the bell and called the waiter, he ordered a sauerkraut fish and a spicy shrimp, and then asked her, "Do you want wine?" ”

She shook her head, but he ordered a beer anyway, "I'll drink a little." ”

When it was her turn to order, she only made up a green vegetable and a dessert.

"I remember you loved sauerkraut fish." He said.

She was slightly stunned, handed the menu to the waiter, and said, "That's what you like to eat, I don't really like to eat fish." ”

"I thought...... You do it often. His face tightened, "So, change the dish, or order another one?" ”

"No, I can eat it." She doesn't care. Sauerkraut fish was one of the best dishes she made, but he didn't know it was for him.

"I'm sorry......" he said with a straight look at her.

She didn't look at him, and turned her head to look down at the singer who was about to sing in the audience.

This sentence "I'm sorry" may have other meanings besides being for the plate of sauerkraut fish, but she doesn't want to delve into it anymore. She was once obsessed with him and let her go like this, and after time passed, she felt that no matter how much sorry they were, it was no longer meaningless.

She came just to show that she didn't care anymore.

The male singer on stage was young, with slightly long hair, and wore an aqua blue shirt with white pockets sewn on his chest. He hugged the acoustic guitar and patted the microphone gently: "Good evening everyone, tonight I will bring you a song "Leaves" for everyone." ”

It's so simple that it can't be simpler to start singing after the opening remarks.,Probably a very reserved boy on weekdays.。 The singing voice is a little immature, a little pretended to be affectionate.

Xia Zhi thinks, how can such a young boy sing true loneliness?

It's just that at this special moment, such a immature and pretended affectionate singing voice suddenly hit her.

The loneliness of flying alone, the loneliness of being surrounded by everyone. Eating and traveling alone, walking around and stopping, and also reading and writing letters alone, talking to each other.

She had been alone for too long.
