The malls are crowded, with most shops with cupids holding bows and arrows on their glass windows, and more local shops with large bouquets of red roses around every corner.

Most of the people come and go are young couples, and occasionally groups of young girls are smiling and laughing at the roses that can be found everywhere.

In contrast, Xiao Luo was much more silent, and Lu Hanchuan was obviously also in low pressure.

There aren't a lot of people on the third floor, many of them are couples who get together to catch dolls, and as for slam dunk, a game that requires strenuous exercise, few people play.

One person took up an opportunity, and before starting, Xiao Luo directly untied his scarf and took off his thick down jacket.

The first ball was hit, Lu Hanchuan said "good ball", and threw it in with a flick of his arm.

Then the two of them threw the ball like a game, the thud of the basketball falling to the ground was endless, and at first they would notice how many heads the other party hit, and gradually, the game became a simple vent.

After playing for a long time, Xiao Luo didn't even have the strength to stand, so he sat directly on the cold ground.

Lu Hanchuan was still pitching, his movements were beautiful and fluent, and there was no sign of fatigue at all.

When he stopped, Xiao Luo could see the sweat droplets on his face, large particles, many of them gathered together, and his whole face was wet.

Xiao Luo suddenly remembered that she was about to be late when she was a child, Lu Hanchuan took her hand and ran all the way along the path, she really couldn't run, panting and dragging back, Lu Hanchuan slowed down and turned back to cheer her up.

At that time, the sun had just appeared on the faint clouds in the east, and a shallow layer of daylight hit his sweaty face, and fell on her eyes as a white flower.

"Get up, it's cold on the ground."

Lu Hanchuan stretched out a hand to pull her, Xiao Luo glanced at it, and then stood up on his own.

Lu Hanchuan withdrew his hand hanging in the air, and there was no embarrassed look on his face, "Let's go, please have tea." ”

The tea shop on the first floor was basically overcrowded, and they were lucky enough to go just in time for a couple to check out and leave, and it was a great location by the window.

Facing the window is a circular pool, today there are many shopping malls open music fountains, through the glass she can't hear the music clearly, as far as the eye can see everywhere there are splashes, everywhere the spring changes color, splashing high and low.

There are parents holding their children and playing by the pool, and there are also young couples smiling and taking photos with their backs to the fountain.

Xiao Luo could see that the waiter brought the milk tea for a while before she realized.

When he turned around to serve coffee, Lu Hanchuan was looking at her, with a light smile on his lips.

Noticing Xiao Luo's sweeping gaze, Lu Hanchuan explained: "You are still the same as before, you like to watch the excitement, but you always look at it from a distance. ”

It's like another fictional world, the excitement is someone else's, and she is just a pure bystander.

Xiao Luo scooped a spoonful of coffee and brought it to her mouth, it was very hot and bitter, she couldn't help frowning, "No, I've always liked to watch the excitement, but my mother was afraid that I would cause trouble, so she always detained me." ”

Lu Hanchuan seemed to remember her naughty appearance when she was a child, and let out a burst of laughter, "I forgot that you were originally a lively person." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, is she okay?" ”

As soon as Xiao Luo's hand was released, the iron spoon fell into the porcelain cup, making a small sound.

Lu Hanchuan looked at her suspiciously, and as soon as the words of inquiry rolled to his throat, he saw her looking at herself seriously, and her big eyes shone brighter than the sunlight outside the window.

"My mother, she...... Passed away. ”

The air became quiet in an instant, and Xiao Luo tilted his ears to hear the light piano music from the musical fountain.

Lu Hanchuan kept holding the cup, his pupils dilated, and he stared at Xiao Luo in disbelief, as if he wanted to find a trace of abnormality from her calm face.

But no, she was very calm, and even in the mood to pick up the sugar packet on the table, open it, and spill it into the coffee.

If it weren't for the slight trembling of her fingers, Lu Hanchuan would have suspected that he was sitting in front of a fake Lin Xiaoluo.

He put down his glass and finally found his voice, "When did it happen?" ”

Xiao Luo pinched the spoon and began to stir, and the dark coffee rose up in circles and ripples, "The first day of the first month." ”

There was a sudden scream outside, and the musical fountain reached its highest point, and the water column several stories high rushed straight up, and then splashed down in an instant.

Lu Hanchuan's hands were clenched into fists, and it took a long time before he struggled to speak: "Are you okay?" ”

He didn't dare to ask why Mother Lin left suddenly, let alone how she spent those dark days.

He once promised to be her umbrella for the rest of her life.

But later, he broke his word, fell in love with another girl, and almost disappeared from her world.

The overwhelming guilt made him unable to find any words, so he could only ask her dryly, "Are you okay?"

All right?

It's not too bad, at least she's survived the most painful days and accepted the hardest truths.

But the word "good" is even more in the throat, and I can't say anything.

After all, she chose to avoid answering, she picked up the cup and drank coffee, it was still very bitter, bitter on her eyebrows, "It's all over." ”

A few words to sum it up.

Good or bad, loss is a fact, a fact that cannot be changed.

Lu Hanchuan sighed, and his brows, which had not been stretched, deepened a little.

This winter seems to be extraordinarily long, and it seems to have no end in sight.

The two sat in silence in the coffee shop until the evening, when the sudden ringing of a handbell broke the lifeless atmosphere.

Seeing the name on the caller ID, Xiao Luo remembered what Yi Zeran said to her yesterday.

Sure enough, the man had already arrived at the school gate, Xiao Luo held the phone in one hand, picked up the backpack in a panic with the other, and when her eyes touched Lu Hanchuan who was standing up opposite, her movements suddenly slowed down again.

"I'm still outside, you can go to the store opposite the school and wait for me."

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Luo looked at Lu Hanchuan, "I'm sorry, I'm going back to school now." ”

"Let's do it together." Lu Hanchuan called the waiter to settle the bill, and walked out of the store directly despite Xiao Luo's hesitant expression.

The mall is not very far from the school, and it can be reached in ten minutes on foot.

Xiao Luo walked quickly and quickly, with his head down and moving forward.

After walking for a while, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he turned around, the man who followed him was gone.

She immediately stopped and looked around, the weather was very cold, the people who came and went were bloated, and there was a lively square opposite, it was not easy to find people.

Fortunately, Lu Hanchuan was tall, and Xiao Luo finally saw him in front of a stall selling bouquets.

He stood upright, and a struggling child crashed into him, and the child walked away giggling, while he remained in his original position, not even changing the direction in which his eyes were looking.

Xiao Luo moved, and finally saw the person he was looking at through the flow of people.
