Friday was a sunny day.

After lunch, Shen Yuan put on his backpack and prepared to go out. Because she only went back for a weekend, she didn't bring a lot of things. Before leaving, Su Yuan stopped her and stuffed her with a few milk mooncakes - when they chatted during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Yuan said that they ate milk mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Yuanyuan casually said that she had never eaten them, and Su Yuan told her mother to send a few for Shen Yuan to eat when she made them at home next time.

Because he was about to go home, Shen Yuanyuan was in a good mood, and he was even happier after taking the milk mooncakes - what he said casually was taken to heart, which was originally a very happy thing. She said to Su Yuan, "When I come back, I'll bring you something delicious!" But we don't have any special products, so I'll just bring a little snack. ”

"Okay, okay." Su Yuan waved her hand, "When you go back, play happily with your boyfriend, and when you come back, we will continue to score points together!" ”

Shen Yuan smiled and made an OK gesture. "Then I'll go."

Out of the campus, Shen Yuanyuan went to a nearby shopping mall to pick out a windbreaker for Zhou Minggao as a birthday gift. She had long thought about buying a windbreaker for Zhou Minggao's birthday gift, she thought that Zhou Minggao was tall and thin, and he must look good in a windbreaker in late autumn. Because of the clear goal, she didn't spend a lot of time buying gifts, and after she finished buying, she went to the high-speed rail station to wait for the train. It's still quite a long way from this city to Province A, but probably because she's been too tired lately, she's been sleeping all the way, so she doesn't think it's a long time.

There were quite a lot of people on this train, and after arriving at the station, Shen Yuan got off the train with the crowded crowd. As soon as she arrived at the exit of the station, she saw Zhou Minggao waiting for her, he was standing far away, smiling at her.

Almost instantly, she forgot all the troubles of the previous days, ran to him as fast as she could, and then he picked her up and spun around in mid-air—almost throwing away the trench coat and clothes she was carrying.

After standing still, Shen Yuanyuan handed the bag containing the windbreaker to Zhou Minggao and said, "Dear! Happy birthday to you in advance! ”

Before that, she always called Zhou Minggao's name or "Little Zhou teacher", and this was the first time she called him with such a somewhat crooked title. Zhou Minggao didn't feel anything wrong, he took the bag and replied even more crookedly, "Thank you, baby." ”

Shen Yuanyuan pretended to be disgusted, and said again and again, "You win, you win." ”

Together, they held hands and went to the subway station and then took the subway home. At this time, it was just in time for many office workers to get off work, and the subway was very crowded, so Zhou Minggao kept wrapping Shen Yuan in his arms with his arms, so as not to be touched.

Shen Yuanxuan finally had a good night's sleep this night, but perhaps because the biological clock had changed, she woke up at five o'clock the next day. Zhou Minggao was still asleep, so she got up silently to cook porridge and eggs, and went to the breakfast shop downstairs to buy small pickles and soy milk.

- I was finally able to have a good breakfast. She thought.

Although it was Saturday, Zhou Minggao had an experiment to do, so he went back to school during the day. Shen Yuanyuan went to his aunt's house for a while, chatted with his aunt, and played with Guagua. After coming out of her aunt's house, she went to pick up the birthday cake she had ordered early in the morning, and then went home happily.

Zhou Minggao came back in the evening, he carried a schoolbag on his back, carried the purchased ingredients in his hand, and said that he wanted to cook a big meal for Shen Yuanyuan. Shen Yuanyuan said that he was a birthday star today, so he insisted on cooking by himself, but it may have been too long since she cooked, and when the oil splashed, she remembered that she forgot to bake the water in the pot first, and finally Zhou Minggao came to the rescue. For the birthday cake in the evening, they specially cooked less food today, so as not to be unable to eat at all after cutting the cake. After eating, Shen Yuanyuan took out the cake and inserted the candle to let Zhou Minggao close his eyes and make a wish.

As a result, as soon as he closed his eyes for two seconds, the WeChat prompt sound of Shen Yuan's mobile phone rang. Zhou Minggao opened her eyes and looked at her, she hurriedly said, "Hurry up and make a wish, don't be so inattentive." Zhou Minggao closed her eyes again, and within two seconds, her mobile phone beep rang again. She had to mute her phone, and only after Zhou Minggao made a wish did she read the message - it was a message from He Wenli, saying that she missed her and wanted to see her.

Shen Yuanxuan was in no mood all of a sudden, but thinking that today was Zhou Minggao's birthday, she didn't want to ruin the day, so she still tried to keep the smile on her face. Zhou Minggao said, "Don't pretend to be happy, I know it's your mother's message." I also remember what I told you when I was drunk that day, but then you didn't ask, so I didn't say it. ”

Shen Yuanyuan was a little helpless - it turned out that she and Zhou Minggao actually thought of going together, and both of them were waiting for the other party to say first.

Zhou Minggao said again, "Let's go see your mother tomorrow, she is having a bad time." ”

Shen Yuan became nervous, "What's wrong with her?" ”

"Her current husband has been abusing her verbally, physically, both verbally and physically."

"Really?"

"Hmm." Zhou Minggao nodded, "It stands to reason that you won't know about this until the beginning of next month." Then, in that life, you didn't see her again until you left. ”

Shen was silent. After a while, she asked Zhou Minggao, "Let me go to see her, because I will still die, so you don't want me to leave regrets?" ”

"No, you'll be fine. I just know that you miss her and care about her, and I don't think you need to punish yourself for the mistakes she made back then. I want to make you happy. If you want to see her, she's your mother after all. ”

"Can you tell me why I committed suicide then?" Shen Yuanxuan asked, "Although I feel very painful at school, I don't want to commit suicide, and as for the depression, I also feel much better than before, and my emotions will not suddenly get out of control." Could something worse happen? I want to have a mental preparation. ”

Seeing that Zhou Minggao stopped talking, she asked again, "Can't you say it?" Be...... Something to do with my mom? ”

"It's about me."

"You?"

"Well, or rather, because of me."

Shen Yuanxuan looked at Zhou Minggao in confusion, and Zhou Minggao continued.

"At that time, I thought that your depression was cured, I thought that you were too dependent on me to adapt to school life, and then I forced you to stay in school, and you came back to me for my birthday, but I quarreled with you on the phone and didn't see you." "And at that time, I didn't choose to let my parents help me pay off my debts, and the pressure of debt lasted for a long time, and I was in a bad state." In order to make me happy, you went back to school soon after we had a fight, so you didn't go to see her when your mom messaged you. When I saw you go back to school, not only did I not realize my problem, but I thought that my method had worked, so I continued to treat you like that. You're still tired when you go back to school, and you often tell me that you miss that past summer, and I deliberately say that it means nothing to me. ”

"Then, there is no then."

"I haven't been in touch with you the day after that."

Hearing this, Shen Yuanyu didn't know what to answer. She has always guessed that she will completely collapse because of something, she has been afraid and careful, it turns out that the last straw that crushed her was none other than Zhou Minggao, who has always been with her and gave her hope. But according to the current "reality", what Zhou Minggao said does not exist, everything he did "this time" can be said to be perfect, and she has no reason to be angry about his actions "at that time". But when she heard these truths, she still felt sad.

It's like suddenly realizing that Zhou Minggao doesn't really understand her completely, but he was wrong once, and then knew what was "right". Everyone has only one life, but for some reason he was able to go back in time, like opening a plug-in in the game. Obviously, there is only one chance to set up, and he failed once, but he can do it again.

Even though he knew that Zhou Minggao was passively involved in such a thing, Shen Yuanyuan still felt that his mood was a little complicated.

But she also knows that Zhou Minggao loves her. Whether it is deliberately following her, deliberately doing the right thing, following her heart, making the wrong choice, she knows that he loves her, this is the premise of everything. All he did was keep her.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan said, "Let's eat the cake." Breaking the silence in front of him. Zhou Minggao didn't defend himself, but silently ate the cake as she said. Shen Yuanxuan also poked the cake in front of her, but looking at the cream, she didn't have any appetite.

Finally, she still asked Zhou Minggao. "So why did you tell me this? Since you've done so well this time, even if you don't tell me, I'll just think that I couldn't think about it because of something in school. ”

"I don't want to hide it from you."

"That's it?" Shen Yuan asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will have a bad deal with you?" ”

"I'm afraid, that's why I waited so long to say it." Zhou Minggao said, "I figured it out. Even if you hate me, it doesn't matter, I still want to tell you the truth, and I don't want you to keep guessing anymore. ”

Shen Yuanyuan wanted to ask him again why he didn't just make up an excuse, but she didn't ask, because she vetoed the idea just a second after it appeared. She knew that Zhou Minggao was not that kind of person, he wouldn't lie to her, she believed it.

Just like he also believed that she could understand - although he said "It's okay if you hate me", Shen Yuanyu knew that he was always a little sure that he would be accepted before he dared to speak.

The atmosphere between the two eased a little, and Zhou Minggao deliberately said in a relaxed tone when he spoke again, "I wore it back from December, and the time is coming soon, my fortune-telling experience card is about to expire, and I am going to become an ordinary person again, I am still a little unaccustomed to it." ”

Shen Yuan lowered his head and smiled, then dug up a piece of cream and smeared it on the tip of Zhou Minggao's nose. Zhou Minggao probably didn't expect her to give him the stairs so soon, he was stunned at first, and then he also dug up a piece of cream and applied it to Shen Yuan's face as a counterattack. The two played around for a while, and then they nestled together on the sofa and watched the variety show that was being broadcast on TV.

When Zhou Minggao was about to fall asleep in a daze, Shen Yuan said, "I'll go see my mother tomorrow." Her voice was very small, and Zhou Minggao knew that she was more talking to herself than telling him, so she didn't respond, but just raised her arm to wrap around her.
