Shen Yuanyuan later remembered something about that night. For example, she cried and told Zhou Minggao about the changes in her family, why she didn't get into a better university, and seemed to talk about He Youxin, the boy she always liked in high school. She doesn't remember much what Zhou Minggao said, or Zhou Minggao didn't say anything in the first place, he just kept quietly playing the role of the listener. It wasn't until she finished saying those things that Zhou Minggao asked, "Can I sit next to you?" ”

She couldn't remember how she answered, but it should have been in the affirmative. Because she remembered that Zhou Minggao came from opposite her and sat down next to her, raised his hand and touched her head.

Shen Yuanyuan also remembered that Zhou Minggao took her back when she went home later, she remembered that she didn't say anything, but Zhou Minggao knew how to go.

But how could Zhou Minggao know where her family lived?

Thinking about it, Shen Yuanxuan doubted the authenticity of the memory again - maybe the memory of a person who drank the fragment is not credible, and it is not clear which ones are dreams and which are memories.

The days are still going by as usual, and in a flash it is two weeks. Shen Yuanyuan thought that there would be some embarrassment between him and Zhou Minggao after that day, but he didn't expect to become more familiar with him and more like real friends. Last weekend, she went to have a meal with Zhou Minggao when she passed by his university. Zhou Minggao took her to eat a small buffet in their school cafeteria, the taste was really not good, Shen Yuanyuan only remembered that the watermelon that day was quite sweet.

When Shen Yuanyuan and Xiao Ranran were talking on the phone that day, Xiao Ranran suddenly asked her, "How are you and your little Zhou teacher?" ”

"What's my little teacher Zhou, it's just a friend, or a friend who hasn't known each other for a long time."

"Really? But I think you've been talking to me a little bit more about him lately, which is a bit unusual. ”

Shen Yuan thought about it, and felt as if this was indeed the case. There was nothing to be embarrassed about with Xiao Ranran, so she didn't refute it. She wasn't entirely clear about her specific thoughts, but fortunately, she knew she liked the moment. The original lifeless life suddenly changed because of Zhou Minggao's joining, and in his spare time, he no longer kept recalling the past and being in a daze, but to listen to the songs shared by Zhou Minggao and think about what he could talk about next. They surprisingly shared a common language, which was surprising to Shen.

It's Saturday, so I don't have to go to work. After talking to Xiao Ranran on the phone, Shen Yuan turned out a set of four-level questions to do. Last year, she suspended her studies before the exam time, and she didn't have time to take the exam she originally registered. As she was doing, she was a little distracted, remembering that on the way to pick up the children two days ago, Zhou Minggao told her that he was making up lessons for high school students on the weekend. She joked at the time, "You can come and give me a make-up lesson, give me a make-up class of four or six." ”

When she came back to her senses, she found herself drawing small circles one by one on the scratch paper.

Until the evening, Shen Yuanyuan sent Zhou Minggao the first message of the day - she shared a cute video of Guagua.

Zhou Minggao replied, "According to my understanding of cats, it is overweight. ”

Shen Yuan smiled, turned his head to look at Guagua, Guagua looked innocent.

Zhou Minggao said, "I just finished making up the lessons for the students, and now I am on my way home. ”

"Why do you work so many jobs, and you have to go to class again, aren't you tired?" Shen Yuanyuan just asked casually, so Zhou Minggao didn't reply immediately, and she didn't think too much. It wasn't until she finished eating and brushing the pots and bowls that Zhou Minggao replied, "Because I have to pay off my debts, I owe some money outside before." ”

Shen Yuan was a little surprised, and didn't know what to go back for a while. Zhou Minggao said, "And I've been renting a house outside since the first half semester of my freshman year, and the rent is not cheap." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Yuan asked, "Isn't the dormitory much more convenient?" You can also save money on rent. After returning to the past, she was worried about whether it would be because Zhou Minggao had a bad relationship with her roommates, so she moved out. If that's really the case, then she can play too poorly in chatting today, and stepping on it casually is a big thunder.

However, things were not as she thought. Zhou Minggao only replied with six words, "It's because of his ex-girlfriend." ”

Shen Yuanyu didn't know what to go back to. She remembered that on the day they met for the first time, Zhou Minggao reprimanded her for crossing the road, and then said that it was because he had a friend who was often like that, but where did his expression and attitude at that time look like treating friends? The friend he was talking about at the time would be the ex-girlfriend he is talking about now.

She felt a little uncomfortable, and she didn't reply to the message for a long time.

It was Zhou Minggao himself who explained first, "Because my roommate was very noisy, and I had to call her every day at that time, she thought I was noisy and would be angry, so I simply moved out." After that, he added, "I am still living because the money I paid last time can be used until mid-July." ”

Shen curled back with an "oh" past. She didn't want to talk about anything related to his ex-girlfriend anymore, so she changed the topic and asked him why he owed money, and he said that it was because he took his ex-girlfriend on a trip after the college entrance examination and didn't dare to tell his family, so he used his own living expenses, and borrowed an online loan for the part that was not enough. Originally, it was not a lot of money, and I thought that I could pay it back by saving money, but as a result, the interest rolled over more and more, and it was still very hard to pay it back.

Failed to change the subject. She casually ripped up the topic again and asked him how he came to this university. He said that it was because he had a quarrel with his ex-girlfriend at the time, and he felt disheartened after arguing and arguing, and he didn't want to stay in the original city, so he reported to a farther place. But then he apologized and reconciled - and there was the subsequent travel incident.

Shen Yuan was a little speechless. It's as if I can't get around that ex-girlfriend on any topic. Thinking so, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you like her very much?" ”

"It used to be."

"How do I feel like it is now?" Shen Yuanxuan said, "How can anyone keep mentioning a person who doesn't care anymore, just because they still care, so any topic can be related." ”

"No, it's just that those things are related to her, and I'll just state the objective facts."

Shen Yuanyuan didn't expect Zhou Minggao to say such a straight man's answer, and couldn't help laughing. She thinks that Zhou Minggao is like this, so calm and mature, the first impression will even be a little unkind. But listening to his description, it seems to be a completely different person. In the last relationship, he was very impulsive and would change his will for something like arguing with his girlfriend. is irrational, even if you go to borrow money, you will take your girlfriend on a trip. But Shen Yuanyuan knew that he didn't mean to create an image in front of her, but the position was different, so what he saw was different.

In her eyes, Zhou Minggao is a "Teacher Zhou" who has a way to face many bear children, what kind of person will he be in the eyes of his ex-girlfriend? She had no way of knowing, and she wasn't interested.

The relationship between people and people is inherently irreproducible, and the same person will look different in the eyes of different people. She just wants to feel what she feels, believes what she can see, and is not obsessed with pursuing "truth".

On this day, they talked very late, Zhou Minggao told her a lot of things about himself, and the strange thing is that he almost never praised himself, and all he said was some bad things. In addition to the online loan and the matter of his ex-girlfriend, he also said that he missed too many classes because of his part-time job and had to repeat the grade, so he is still in his junior year when he should be a senior - which is also the reason why he has fewer classes now, because he took several courses last semester.

Shen Yuanrong asked him, "Most people will hide these things about themselves, don't you think there is anything, so you can say it easily?" ”

Zhou Minggao said, "No, I think those are very bad things, but it is true that I did it myself, so I want to tell the worst part of the other party before I come into contact with people." ”

"Huh? So that's what you have to say when you talk to everyone? ”

"Not really. And I rarely have contact with new people after those things happen. He said, "I've only told you so far." ”

"Then I can understand that we are friends now."

"Hmm."

Later, Shen Yuanyuan did not hesitate to share his own affairs, but if he said something casually, Zhou Minggao could follow the topic and immediately follow the topic, as if he knew everything. Shen Yuanyuan didn't know how he had told him so many stories when he was drunk that day, and besides, he understood everything she said in a daze.

Shen suffered from mild depression and anxiety from a very young age due to family reasons, and sleeping has always been difficult for her. After her father's death, her condition also worsened, and she began to suffer from insomnia all night long, waking up countless times to watch the dawn. But today is different. Today, she chatted with Zhou Minggao until dawn. She didn't want to stay away from Zhou Minggao because of his shortcomings and those experiences that could be called "bad", on the contrary, she dared to get closer. Zhou Minggao is not a perfect person, but those imperfections make his existence more complete and real. She wasn't good enough, and so was she.

Many, many times before, when she looked at the sky and turned white, she thought that if she could fall in love in the future, she would have to talk to each other all night. It's okay to talk about anything, about ideals or reality, about the future or the past, about others, about each other.

Unexpectedly, before she could fall in love with anyone, this all-night long talk was realized in Zhou Minggao, who had just met for less than a month.

At sunrise this time, she wasn't alone.
