Mu Liang looked at the ceiling, and the scene of the day came to mind.

Zhao Yu was still waiting for him to answer, no one spoke, and the room suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, Zhao Yu was ready to take a bath, but the person next to him suddenly spoke, no longer showing the calm wind and lightness of his usual confidence, and there was a trace of confusion in his hesitation.

"At the time, I didn't think about it that much...... "I just wanted to talk to her." ”

Just like at the beginning, I just thought she was interesting, at that time, I just wanted to talk to her.

However, when he logged on to QQ, which he hadn't been on for a long time, and saw a lot of messages, he suddenly retreated......

It turns out that in the heart of Xiao Feimainstream, he is such an important friend? Then he disappeared without saying a word, she must have been very angry, right?

He spent the night looking at the long historical news, and at first it just seemed strange—

Why are there such people?

A netizen who has never met in person, she actually believes it wholeheartedly?

For people who don't even say goodbye, why isn't she angry at all?

Are you still worried about what trouble he is encountering and want to come to Spring City to find him?

After running away to no avail, he took the initiative to send him the money he saved and comforted him that everything would be fine?

He was too young and old to understand the little girl's thoughts.

How could it be, I had never seen him in person, and I didn't even know his name...... How could she be like this?

To put it mildly, it's stupid.

There was a long break in the news, and when it started again, the happy little girl was gone.

He knew why, and that was why his aunt had mentioned her name at the dinner table, and that was why he had found her.

- Xiao Ze, the classmate in your class is called Shan Mu, right? Just last year, there was someone outside my father, and the little videos were posted in the parent group. Her mother is about to get married, and she heard that the children are pregnant...... Tsk, what kind of parents are these, they don't think about the children at all, your homeroom teacher also said that the little girl is well-behaved and has good grades. Alas, what a pity...... Do you want to help her more in the future?

After that, the tone of the message changed.

Or perhaps, in fact, it was just his mood that changed.

Because Xiao Non-mainstream didn't mention anything family-related, she still talked about the trivial things in life as usual.

But he knew that she was just pretending to be nothing in her own way, and she was very unhappy.

You can tell from the time when those messages were sent.

She seemed to be starting to lose sleep.

One of them was sent at four o'clock in the morning, and when Mu Liang saw it, his heart twitched-Are you back to Mars, can you take me with you?

He couldn't imagine how sad she was, but for the first time in more than two years, he felt guilty.

Why didn't he see it at that time? Why didn't you reply to her?

But the next day, the content of the message changed to "The chemistry teacher has changed into new clothes today", "I can't do the questions at the same table and cry angrily"...... Etcetera.

It's like nothing happened.

Later, her words became less and less, and she only sent one or two sentences a month, sometimes very long, sometimes very short, all trivial and interesting things in life, like a record, without a beginning or an end, and did not need to reply.

Only the most recent one, three days ago-

[Mom is getting married too. 】

[Martian, I don't have a home anymore. 】

Mu Liang's heart trembled, as if he saw the little girl sitting in the corner with her knees crossed, crying and typing these words.

In the previous three years of chatting, Mu Liang knew that Shan Mu loved her parents very much. Like all little girls, Dad played a superhero-like role in her life, brave, kind, and tolerant, but now he has become a betrayer of the family.

The originally "loving" parents had their own families not long after they divorced.

No one ever asked her, not a little buffer.

It's as if she's dispensable, and no one cares how she feels.

How happy she was before, how miserable she was later.

It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and Zhao Yu was sleeping unconscious next to him, but he was not sleepy.

He lay on the bed digesting the huge amount of information, and he couldn't imagine how that little girl who didn't know anything about the world had survived these two years. From fearlessness to caution......

On that hot and humid summer night, for the first time in his life, Mu Liang had a so-called feeling of pity for a familiar and strange little girl he had never met.

He wanted to accompany her, to tell her that they would be fine together, but ...... And then what?

After this summer vacation, he is going back to the far north, and everything is so pale and powerless from a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers.

So he excused himself by forgetting the password, and asked Zhao Yu for his QQ, planning to use his identity to accompany her for a summer vacation.

Originally, he thought so.

But with the accompaniment, it is out of control.

Outsiders gradually forget their original intentions and greedily want more.

How can one summer be enough?

So he began to plan for the future, first of all, at least at the same university......

He thought that when we met, he would finally be able to answer her questions.

INTERVIEWER What kind of girls do you like?

- You're like that.

What about you?

Will you still like me?

Love is not a math problem, there are no formulas, it cannot be controlled, and it is full of accidents.

As smart as Mu Liang never expected, as early as six years ago, when he accepted the friend application of the little girl with a strange name and avatar, the gears of fate quietly turned, and the two parallel lines have since intersected.

And Shan Mu will never know that in that long time when she thought she was lonely, someone had actually secretly put her in her heart and gently accepted her into the future.
