I used to feel that time passed so quickly every day at the newspaper, and An Night, who didn't have a job, began to feel bored, especially when Gu Ling Chen was away.

It was another rainy day, and on this day she came to the meaty coffee shop, and there were many people during the day, which made people feel suddenly bright.

I didn't take a closer look at the hurried walk that day, and the outside of the store was all surrounded by flower beds, and inside were all kinds of round pebbles. An Wan walked in, and it was already full of many guests.

The waiter standing at the door saw An Wan and hurriedly waved to other colleagues and asked them to come over quickly. Soon, five or six people stood in two rows at the door, shouting in unison, "Hello boss." ”

An Wan was taken aback, and reflexively curled back, but quickly eased up, and asked with a pleasant face, "Who are you?" ”

"What would the boss want to drink?" A well-behaved lady asked.

An Wan hesitated for a while, this title really didn't match her current self, so she would inevitably feel unaccustomed.

In this way, An Wan was led to a position near the window, through the window, there was a small balcony behind it, and there were all kinds of succulents, and there were flower stands on each side, and there was a swing on the wall.

An night is fascinated, and such a scene seems to only appear in a dream.

"Boss, your Mocha."

This voice is so familiar, An Wan turned around, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Xiao Ruo, why are you here?" An Wan asked excitedly, and when she saw that she was also wearing work clothes here, she was even more puzzled.

Shen Xiaoruo sat opposite her, now she has lost her previous lively and active temperament, and she is much thinner than before.

"It was Gu Lingchen who came to me." Shen Xiaoruo spoke flatly.

An Wan doesn't know what she's been through over the years, but judging from her current speech and demeanor, she hasn't been happy.

"Xiao Ruo, are you okay?" An Wan took her hand and asked with concern.

Shen Xiaoruo pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "I've been in the United States for almost ten years, and I'm not happy every day there. ”

"Then why didn't you choose to leave?" An night was even more puzzled.

"Choice? Not everyone can choose their own destiny, my life has been planned from the moment I was born in the Shen family, where to study, who to marry, I can't decide. Shen Xiaoruo's gaze became more and more desolate.

An Wan was speechless in an instant, and the girl who loved to laugh in the past could not see a glimmer of light in her eyes now.

"A few months ago, my grandfather died suddenly, he is my only relative in this world, but I selfishly feel that I am finally free, do you think I am very unfilial?" Shen Xiaoruo asked with a sneer.

An Wan's eyes were full of unbearable, and everything that everyone went through was something that others couldn't empathize with.

"No, you're good, really good." An Wan's eyes were filled with tears.

I thought that when Grandpa Shen died, he would arrange for Shen Xiaoruo to take over his inheritance, but he didn't expect him to hold Shen Xiaoruo's hand and say, "Ruoruo, live according to your own wishes in the future!" This was the last thing he said to Shen Xiaoruo, and he passed away after speaking.

Shen Xiaoruo's eyes were blank, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and he locked himself in a room where he couldn't see his fingers every day.

Fortunately, Gu Lingchen brought her out at that time, and she was often enlightened, and Shen Xiaoruo had comfort.

"In the past, when my grandfather was here, he always forced me to do things I didn't like, but now I really understand that he is afraid that I will ......be alone in the future," Shen Xiaoruo choked up, "It turns out that he has been planning for me since a long time ago, but I still blame him." ”

An Wan gently caressed Shen Xiaoruo's shoulder, but she didn't know how to say the comforting words. She can naturally understand Shen Xiaoruo's feelings, because they all have the same experience and the same experience of losing their loved ones.

The current Shen Xiaoruo is like himself back then, looking for a trace of warmth in the cold and dark sea.

Shen Xiaoruo quickly wiped away her tears after venting, and said with a smile: "I'm fine." ”

"What about Zhang Peng? Does he know you're back? An evening asked.

Shen Xiaoruo shook her head, "I haven't told him yet, except for you and Gu Lingchen, no one else knows." ”

"Let's go meet him when I have time, he seems to be fine on the surface all these years, but in fact, he still hasn't let go of you in his heart."

Shen Xiaoruo nodded slightly, "Hmm." ”

Many times the reunion after a long absence is not as beautiful as imagined.

An evening watched Shen Xiaoruo busy making coffee at the bar, as if time had gone back to many years ago, at that time they didn't know how to say goodbye, maybe that short time was the best past in their memories, and it was also Shen Xiaoruo's happiest memory.

When Zhang Peng heard the news of Shen Xiaoruo's return to China, he immediately lost his mind, as if he didn't care so much after a long time, it was just a habit.

When he returned home in the evening, Gu Lingchen was too tired and had fallen asleep on the sofa. So she looked at him quietly, and stroked his eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips with her hands.

Suddenly, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and when Gu Chen opened his eyes, An Wan hurriedly turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Wanwan, you're spying on me?" Gu Lingchen said jokingly.

"I didn't." An Wan quibbled.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lingchen suddenly approached An Wan, grabbed her hand, and pressed her on the sofa.

"Wanwan, do you know you're setting fire?" Gu Lingchen lowered his voice and said, a wicked smile flashed in his eyes, and his lips gently fell on An Wan's forehead, nose, and finally ......

An Wan felt that the wound began to ache faintly, and let out a miserable scream.

Gu Lingchen immediately stopped, "What's wrong?" Is the wound painful again? ”

"A little." An Wan endured the discomfort and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, it's late, it's all my fault." Gu Lingchen blamed himself.

An Wan shook her head, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, you see, it's not much better." An Wan raised his left hand after speaking, and suddenly frowned again.

"If you are reckless, we will have to go to the hospital." Gu Lingchen pouted.

"If you don't go, you won't go to death." An Wan kept shaking his head, holding his arms with both hands and leaning on his shoulders, "Why didn't you tell me when Xiao Ruo came back?" ”

Gu Lingchen nodded slightly, and said flatly: "Oh, you saw her." ”

"Well, I did, but I don't think she likes to laugh anymore." An Wan said, staring at the book on the table.

"It'll be fine after a long time, she'll forget all the unhappy things, and she'll get better." Gu Lingchen's eyes were calm.

Hearing him say this, An Wan had another distress in her eyes, she really hoped that Gu Lingchen would be as she said, and with the passage of time, she would forget herself one day. But sometimes she wants to be selfish and hopes that Gu Lingchen can always remember herself, but if she remembers, it will make him miserable, An Wan would rather be forgotten by him.

People often like to say if, but everyone knows that most of these two words are countless fantasies.

Zhang Peng came to the succulent coffee shop, he stood outside the door, and saw Shen Xiaoruo being busy, many times he felt that he was just an illusion about Shen Xiaoruo. It's just that the sun was just right that day, and she happened to wear a dress she liked and appeared in front of her.

Just at that glance, there was an extra obsession. Now, it's time to really let go.

When Shen Xiaoruo saw Zhang Peng, he only felt like a world away, they used to be so free and cheerful, but now they are all diametrically opposed.

"Long time no see." Shen Xiaoruo said with a smile.

Zhang Peng also smiled, "Long time no see." ”

This sentence was the first sentence I said after I rushed to the United States to meet her ten years ago, but I didn't expect that after many years, this opening sentence has not changed.

Looking at the people in front of me, I feel that I am no longer the boy and girl I once was.

"When did you come back, I don't say that I came to catch up with old friends." Zhang Peng asked with a smile.

"It hasn't been long since you came back, and it looks like you've been doing well all these years." Shen Xiaoruo clasped his hands together and said.

Zhang Peng pursed his lips and nodded, "It's good." ”

"That's good." Shen Xiaoruo said without being salty.

Zhang Peng looked at the chic coffee shop and asked, "Do you plan to work here all the time?" ”

Shen Xiaoruo said calmly, "At present, I plan to do so, you know, I don't have any interest in inheriting the family business, so after my grandfather left, I donated all the family property he left me." ”

"If you donate it all, how will you live in the future?" Zhang Peng's eyes widened, his voice raised, and he looked incredulous.

"Everyone has their own way of life, even if I keep that property, but I'm still not happy, it's better to donate it to those who really need it."

"So you're going to live in this café for the rest of your life?"

Shen Xiaoruo shook his head, "I don't know, maybe it will, maybe it won't." ”

She doesn't really like this job much, but she has something to do every day and doesn't have to think about it so much, so she feels at ease.

"But this place doesn't belong to you, you should have your own sea and sky, don't keep yourself imprisoned in a cage." Zhang Peng's eyebrows and eyes were a little more unbearable.

Shen Xiaoruo heard the meaning of his words, this place did not belong to him, because this was given to An Wan by Gu Lingchen.

"It's really strange to you, someone wants me to come back, but you want me to go, so tell me, where is my sea and sky?" Shen Xiaoruo's gaze became cold.

Zhang Peng suddenly felt a little disappointed, not disappointed in Shen Xiaoruo, but in himself.

Many years later, he didn't know that the blonde boy he saw on the streets of the United States who was paired with Shen Xiaoruo was actually not Shen Xiaoruo's boyfriend, but a stranger she deliberately found in order to anger her grandfather. In this way, their destinies are like two intersecting lines, which go further and further apart after intersecting.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." Zhang Peng got up and left without looking at her again.

After leaving, Zhang Peng began to regret that he knew that Shen Xiaoruo had just experienced the pain of losing her loved ones, but he still had to rub salt on her wounds.

Shen Xiaoruo suddenly lost her mind, sitting in place motionless, and now she really couldn't seem to find where her place was.

Maybe everyone has a sadness in their hearts, but some of it is unspeakable and untouchable.
