When Du Xiaoxian slowly walked back, he thought of such a sentence: Everything has passed.

Seeing is believing, everything is a foregone conclusion, and it is time for her to leave.

She breathed heavily, inattentively, sucked the cold air into her trachea, and stood on the side of the street coughing awkwardly, coughing until tears fell. She felt that she was really useless, and she could shed tears when she coughed. But her heart seemed to be relaxed, and the things that she had been hesitating about had finally settled, and she didn't have to think about it anymore.

Standing on the side of the street and calling Du Huayue, it rang for a long time before answering, and Du Huayue's sleepy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaoxian, why is it so early?" ”

Du Xiaoxian said apologetically: "Brother A-Yue, you were on duty again last night, then I will call you later." ”

"It's okay, I'm almost going to get up, you can say it," Du Huayue rubbed his eyes and sat up from the quilt, Du Xiaoxian rarely took the initiative to call him, it was still so early, there must be something.

"I just want to ask you if the house is rented?" Du Xiaoxian said: "I'm going to prepare early. ”

"I'm about to call you about this," Du Huayue said: "I'm looking at it every day, there's nothing suitable, it's either expensive or far away, or you go with me today, I have an appointment with two more today, you can also go and have a look, get an idea." ”

"Then," Du Xiaoxian said, "I'll go over to you now." ”

Du Huayue said hello, hung up the phone and jumped out of bed, he was a soldier, and he got dressed and washed in five minutes. Because he had to go to two places and didn't change the bike, he borrowed a bicycle.

As soon as he pushed out of the door, he saw that there were roasted sweet potatoes sold on the street, he remembered that Du Xiaoxian liked to eat this, she often had a wooden face when she was young, and there was no expression, but when she squatted in front of the earthen stove in his house to roast sweet potatoes, her eyes were bright, she added firewood while fiddling with the sweet potatoes in the fire, turning them over, afraid of baking paste. Sometimes he will deliberately tease her, add two black marks to her face, and scold him when his mother sees it, but Du Xiaoxian doesn't care, she just laughs stupidly, and when the aroma overflows, Grandma says okay, Du Xiaoxian is very excited, and can't wait to use tongs to pick out the roasted sweet potatoes one by one and throw them on the ground. Then distribute it in order from the largest to the smallest, each time she gave herself the smallest, but he always changed with her and gave her the big one, Du Xiaoxian couldn't refuse, always thanked her with a red face, and lowered her head to hold her roasted sweet potatoes back to her home.

That little girl has grown up and changed a lot, but he believes that no matter how much Du Xiaoxian changes, he will not forget his roots, so he did not hesitate to buy two roasted sweet potatoes and put them in the canvas satchel.

Du Huayue guessed correctly, Du Xiaoxian was really happy to see the roasted sweet potato, and while blowing, he couldn't wait to peel off the skin of the sweet potato, so it was like returning to his childhood, Du Huayue looked at her, smiled comfortably, and they sat on the bench on the side of the street, talking while eating.

"Xiaoxian, have you thought about it, do you really leave him?"

"Well," Du Xiaoxian nodded slowly: "Brother A-Yue, you're right, he and I are people from two worlds, and it's not suitable for us to be together." ”

Du Huayue glanced at her carefully: "Are you willing?" ”

Du Xiaoxian lowered his eyes, peeling the sweet potato skin little by little, but his eyes gradually turned red, Du Huayue's heart twitched, and he turned his face away, as if with a little emotion: "Okay, I won't ask." ”

The two houses I want to see today, one is in the suburbs of the city and the other is in the city, Du Huayue thought for a while and said, "Xiaoxian, if you don't go to see the one on the outskirts of the city, it's too far away and it's not convenient." ”

Du Xiaoxian didn't have any opinion anyway: "Brother A-Yue, I listen to you." ”

When he arrived at the place, Du Xiaoxian found out that this was the community where Nina used to live. I heard that it was about to be demolished, so it was cheap to rent.

The two-bedroom house is also clean inside, and the furniture and appliances are all in place, which looks very good. Du Huayue pulled Du Xiaoxian aside and whispered: "Forget it, the demolition will have to be moved again, troublesome." ”

The intermediary's ears were sharp, and when he heard a sentence and a half, he immediately said: "Not necessarily, it has been said that the demolition has been said for a few years, and it has not moved until now, it is estimated that it is a gust of wind, even if it blows, such a good house, the rent is cheap, there is no property fee, the water and electricity bills are cheaper than the general community, the transportation is convenient, and the rent can be paid once a month, which is already very good." ”

Du Xiaoxian also thought it was good here, and said, "Otherwise, let's go here, Sister Nina has also lived here before, I think it's very good." ”

Since Du Xiaoxian opened his mouth, Du Huayue thought about it and agreed, anyway, he wanted to move, it was better to move early than late, and he handed over the pressure to take the key on the spot.

As soon as the intermediary left, Du Huayue fell on the sofa and said happily: "I didn't expect it to be done so smoothly, I knew this, I should have asked you to look at the house together." ”

Du Xiaoxian looked around and said, "There's nothing to add, just move the luggage over." ”

Du Huayue sat up straight and asked her, "When will you move over?" I'll pick you up. ”

Du Xiaoxian sat down, rubbed her fingers, didn't speak for a while, she was definitely going to leave, but this time, she didn't want to say goodbye without saying goodbye, she wanted to make it clear to Gu Nianbin, she didn't hate him or blame him, she just wanted him to be happy.

"Tomorrow," Du Xiaoxian said, "I'll call you tomorrow." ”

"Okay," Du Huayue comforted her: "Xiaoxian, I know you are reluctant, but the long pain is better than the short pain, everything will pass." ”

"I know," Du Xiaoxian sighed, "It's that I'm wrong." ”

Du Huayue looked at her and asked a little suspiciously: "Xiaoxian, you suddenly figured it out, is something wrong?" ”

Du Xiaoxian shook his head, and his voice was very calm: "Nothing, I figured it out by myself." "Only then will the pain of three become the pain of one.

After having lunch with Du Huayue outside, Du Xiaoxian returned home and began to pack her luggage, there was not much luggage, she only took some change of clothes, toiletries, and just filled a backpack.

She sat on the bed, looked at the glass vase, and wanted to take it away, but it was too expensive and fragile, and she knew in her heart that she couldn't take it. She bought it when she first moved in, and it seemed to become a habit to look at it every day, but such a habit was a luxury, and it was impossible for her to have it again in the rest of her life. Those bottles and cans on the dresser are colorful and fragrant, she usually uses them less, and occasionally wipes a little bit and runs to smell Gu Nianbin's fragrance? As a result, Gu Nianbin took this as some kind of hint, and without saying a word, he grabbed her and started eating directly. It made her cry and laugh. She didn't take any of these things with her, because they didn't belong to her world anymore.

She got up again and went to the studio, there were some paintings piled up on the wall, which she had rushed out a few days ago, thinking that she would rush as much as possible before leaving, and let Teacher He pick them up, but even she didn't expect to go so fast. She squatted down and stroked the oil paint on the drawing board, bright red, oily green, so beautiful.

In fact, she is leaving, and there is no point in opening an art exhibition, she just feels that she has failed Teacher He, and she has worked hard to lobby in various galleries, and finally said that it was done, but she suddenly couldn't open it, so what should Teacher He do? She couldn't do that.

Sighing, she stood up, walked to the window and called Mr. He Sen, telling him that she was going to go far away, and asked him to take all the paintings away first, and that the matter of opening the exhibition was entrusted to him. A few more words of thanks.

He Sen was a little worried when he heard that her voice was not quite right, and asked her if something was wrong?

Du Xiaoxian said that it was okay, but he might not be able to come back during the exhibition.

He Sen said that it was her art exhibition, and if she wasn't there, what could she do, so she should try to rush back.

Du Xiaoxian actually didn't think about whether she wanted to go on the day of the exhibition, but He Sen spoke earnestly on the phone, and she couldn't refuse, just vaguely confused the past.

After doing everything that needs to be done, all that remains is to call Gu Nianbin. Du Xiaoxian looked at the phone in his hand, did not hesitate for long, and finally pressed the number.

The other end quickly picked up, Du Xiaoxian coughed lightly, and was about to speak, but Xia Xiaowan's voice came from the phone: "It's Xiaoxian, is there something wrong with Nianbin?" ”

Du Xiaoxian suddenly felt that the blood in his whole body was coagulated, why did he call it, it was always Xia Xiaowan who took it? Are they really good enough to be glue-like? Can't be separated for a moment?

Du Xiaoxian seemed to be a little dizzy, she stroked her forehead and settled down: "Miss Xia, is the young master here?" I want to find him. ”

"What are you looking for him? Can I convey it on my behalf? ”

Du Xiaoxian was silent, did Xia Xiaowan mean that she didn't want her to talk to Gu Nianbin?

Xia Xiaowan chuckled on the other end of the phone and said, "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't let you talk to him, it's that Brother Nian Bin doesn't want to answer your phone, in addition, he has something to say to me, I was still hesitating to call you when I was hesitating, I didn't expect you to call first, so let's meet, it's better to say some things in person." ”

Although she was mentally prepared, Du Xiaoxian still didn't expect that Gu Nianbin didn't even want to talk to her, she broke his heart, because she was not brave enough, she was always wavering. Therefore, he is also impatient, and simply out of sight and out of mind.

"Okay," Du Xiaoxian said, "I'll wait for you at home." ”

"No, it's better for us to go outside," Xia Xiaowan said, "How about finding a quiet café for a cup of coffee?" ”

"Okay," Du Xiaoxian didn't care anyway, at this point, she didn't care about anything, "You send the address to my mobile phone, and I'll take a taxi." ”

It seems that she didn't want to make it clear to Gu Nianbin, but Gu Nianbin wanted to make it clear to her. It's okay, Du Xiaoxian originally felt that it would be difficult for her to speak, if Gu Nianbin spoke, it would be much easier, she just needed to accept it.
