"How?" Seeing him stop, I also stopped, and turned my head to look at Lu Beinuo suspiciously.

"Xiao Li'er......" Lu Beinuo suddenly turned sideways and lowered his head to look at me.

The musical fountain gradually stopped, and he stood in front of the fountain with his back to me, the faint flickering light behind me making me squint, his face unrecognizable in a backlit shadow.

"How?" I asked subconsciously, tilting my head uncomfortably, wanting to continue walking in a different place, so as to get rid of the difficulty of seeing him clearly.

Lu Beinuo pressed my shoulders: "Don't go!" ”

I immediately stopped and didn't dare to move, not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Beinuo's gourd, so I looked at him stupidly.

"Xiao Li'er, I have something to say to you." Lu Beinuo's tone was full of seriousness and firmness, and there was no hint of being a fool on weekdays.

"Well, you say, I'll listen." Seeing him like this, I also became serious and looked straight at his face, even though I couldn't see it clearly.

"Ahem," Lu Beinuo coughed lightly, "Listen up—well, how to say it, it's a bit hasty, and I didn't have time to prepare—"

The more I listened, the more confused I became, and finally I couldn't help but interject softly: "Tell the point." ”

"Uh-okay-"

The music around me changed, and I could clearly hear the nervousness and urgency in his tone, so I was even more confused, but I didn't interrupt him this time, just listened quietly, waiting for him to be ready, waiting for him to say the next words.

Finally, Lu Beinuo cleared his throat again: "Xiao Li'er, from the first time I saw you, I was thinking, how could there be such a cute girl in this world. ”

Well......? Compliment me on being cute?? What is the rhythm of what he is going to do???

The flower is not glazed and confused.

I remained silent.

"Well, and then before I know it, I'm stuck with you every day. I find you attractive more and more. ”

I was silent. This time, he was really stunned.

Is he just trying to praise me? Probably not......

Continue to listen quietly.

"Then, it's inexplicably uncomfortable to see how close you are to other people, especially guys. For example, Xu Ye, such as Li Wenyan, such as Ji Yan, such as that what green. He said, with a sour tone in his tone.

I couldn't help laughing or crying, and I just wanted to say that I and everyone except Ji Yu were ordinary friends, but I heard him continue: "I also wanted to know what happened to me a long time ago, and it was probably after we just met - and then I realized it...... You are unique, the most precious, the most beautiful. I wanted to do everything I could to protect you, to make you happy—and then I realized—"

The music gradually reached its climax, and the moment he spoke, the fountain behind him suddenly burst into flames, and the colorful colors reflected each other, and the spring water gushed out to the highest place at that moment, and the background behind him was dazzling, but it was not as bright as the smile on his face at that moment.

The corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of clean smiles, and the smile under his eyes was extremely warm, this sunny boy who was extremely good-looking on weekdays was so dazzling at this moment.

The wind was cold and not biting, and he leaned down slightly, close to my ear.

In the music, in the cold wind, in the noise of people, his lips closed one by one, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

There were so many voices passing by my ears, but in that moment, everything seemed like an old picture frozen in a black and white gramophone.

The boy, his voice low and magnetic, with the cleanliness characteristic of his age.

This phrase has been looping in the gramophone single in my head for the years since.

"I love you."

——On November 17, 17.18.44, 2018

Everything was beautiful.

I still love you very much.
