Chapter 17: She's Engaged

"Huh? Why did you suddenly ask this, this question is not easy to answer. ”

"Answer me, do you really like me?" Xiao Dong asked again.

"Why do you still ask, do you think I can do so many things with you if I don't like it? Will I drink with you? You can't even see that? Looks like I've drunk too much. As I spoke, I took a sip of wine to suppress my shock.

"Do you remember our agreement? If you fall in love with me, we'll be separated right away. Xiao Dong looked at me.

"I remember, liking and loving are different, I didn't fall in love with you, don't steal fun there." I'm a bit of a strong argument.

"That's good." Xiao Dong lowered his head and said.

"Xiao Dong, what's wrong with you today, I found that you came back from Kunming as if you were a different person. Is there anything you're not happy about? ”

"It's nothing, I had a good time in Kunming, and I had a Songkran Festival and went to a lot of places."

"Then why are you still like this? It's really incomprehensible, I don't want you to worry about me, then how tired I am. ”

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about me, come and drink."

Unconsciously, Xiao Dong drank 2 more bottles, and my second bottle hasn't dried up yet, it seems that I'm still trying to stay awake as much as possible, or I really don't know how to go back.

We drank wine, looked at the lights in the classroom in the distance, looked at the campus in the night, and let our eyes wander.

"I went to Kunming to get engaged." Xiao Dong suddenly said such a sentence. It's like a thunderbolt exploded in my head.

"Ahh What did you say? You went to Kunming to get engaged? No kidding, you're a junior and you're still a student," I said, surprised, "and that shouldn't happen to college students." "I remember that Xiao Dong seemed to have said that she was a married person before, but I always thought it was a joke, who would believe it, it was a bit contrary to common sense.

"I'm not kidding you, I'm not much, I'm telling the truth." Xiao Dong looked into the distance calmly, and after saying this, he turned his head again and looked at me.

"That's what you call a family affair, right? I really don't understand why? You're still a student! "I'm starting to get frustrated, but I'm talking excitedly.

"I know, it's hard to understand, so have you ever thought I would?" Xiao Dong was also a little excited.

"Why is that?" I felt like I was about to cry, because I couldn't imagine that the new happiness I thought I could have was so far away from me, and I became someone else's bride-to-be. My unrestrained liking and desire for Xiao Dong has become an unreasonable tease for other people's fiancΓ©es, and my heart is like a piece of cast iron that has just been burned red and suddenly put into cold water, crackling. It turns out that the distance between Xiao Dong and me is still so far, but why can we get so close? I began to understand that this was another game that was doomed from the start, and that I would always be the tragic hero of the game.

I have been very careful to contact and approach women, because I am afraid, my broken heart hurts, I have cried, I don't want to be hurt in any way, and I can't stand the heart-rending pain, but I met Xiao Dong, and then I can play together without so much restraint and be happy together. Xiao Dong was the protagonist in my life at this time, but now I see that she is just a cameo.

"You still like me, don't you?" Xiao Dong asked me.

"Yes! It's like. Don't like me like this? But what's the use of now? With that, I gulped down a few sips of wine.

"Aren't we lovers? Don't forget what we said at the beginning, you just wanted me to be your lover in the first place. ”

"I know, but you know what it means to be in love over time, right?"

"I know that there will be love over time, but you can't fall in love with me, you can't go against the rules of the game. Is it bad to be a lover? ”

"Good, good. I understand. But can you tell me why you got engaged so early? "I began to try to calm my mind.

"Actually, it's nothing to tell you, this is arranged by my father," Xiao Dong said, "His father and my father are comrades-in-arms, my father was not there during a mission, and what my father was supposed to do was called his father instead, but things were not coincidental, his father sacrificed during the mission, so my father was very guilty, he should have died, but his father was replaced, and his father felt uncomfortable, and his mother's life was not very good, so he often helped their mother and son, He was also arranged into the army, and now he has the rank of lieutenant, and my father felt that he owed them a life and a big favor, so he asked me to marry him, to take good care of his mother, to compensate them, and my father's heart would feel better, so this time I was called to Kunming, one was to see his mother, one was engaged, and I got married after graduating from college, do you think I have a choice? Do you think I'm going to want to give my life so early? After Xiao Dong said these words, he snatched my wine.

I don't know what to do, how to comfort Xiao Dong, looking at Xiao Dong's blankness, I began to understand some things in her eyes, but why do I think Xiao Dong's experience is a bit similar to the experience of those people in movies and novels? I'm a little confused about whether it's illusory or real.

"And do you love him? Is his mother good to you? I was quiet for a moment and said.

"His mother was very good to me, and he spoiled me." Xiao Dong said.

I don't know how to face this girl next to me, whether it's comfort or sympathy, I don't know. The grievances and grievances of the previous life will be compensated for in the next life, and the children do not know whether to refuse or not, and do not know how to obey, a filial piety, a traditional Chinese virtue.

There is no more wine, Xiao Dong has to continue drinking, I stopped her, she is really a little too much. I don't dare to mention Xiao Dong's trip to Kunming, whether she is happy or sad, I don't want to mention this matter again, but she has become someone else's bride-to-be, this is an indisputable fact. I don't know how long and how I will go on this road with Xiao Dong, maybe it's time for this game to end.

What kind of game is it?

I was going to send Xiao Dong back to the dormitory, she said that she didn't want to go back, because it was not good to go back after drinking so much wine, and the dormitory was a little noisy, and she wanted to sleep well. Then I asked her if there were any guests in the house. Xiao Dong said yes. I don't know where to go.

Xiao Dong asked me, "Is there anything wrong with you not going back to the dormitory at night?" ”

I said, "It's fine. ”

"Then let's go to the Welcome Garden together." I was so surprised that I was a little suspicious of my ears. Xiao Dong took the initiative to ask me to spend the night with her, isn't this equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? Ten thousand thoughts rolled through my head in an instant, and my heart went up and down.
