Chapter Twenty-Six: Waiting
Her thoughts turned, and the emotions buried deep in her heart exploded like a flood, and she sniffed, her eyes wet.
The little couple in front had already walked a long way, and Xiao Luo raised his hand to wipe his tears and sped up his speed.
Further ahead is the girls' dormitory building, the two-meter-wide cement road is covered with osmanthus trees, it is the season of flowers, and the rich fragrance of flowers makes people a little breathless.
At the end of the road, a lamp was broken, and the tall osmanthus trees were dragged into a black shadow by the moonlight.
There was a tall man standing under the tree, the night was too dark, and the man's figure was completely hidden in the shadows of the trees, leaving only an infinitely elongated shadow.
Xiao Luo rubbed his nose and walked forward with his head down, and was stopped when he passed by the man.
It was Yi Zeran, he lowered his head, and only vaguely discerned the outline of his face in the dark, "Miss Lin." ”
Xiao Luo was startled when he heard the familiar voice, and stood in place in a daze, only to raise his head to look at the tall man above his head for a while.
Shen Yu and Yangguang, who were walking in front, deliberately turned back when they heard the voice, and Xiao Luo stood in front of the tall man like a child.
Obviously she couldn't see the man's face, but Shen Yu could feel a kind of oppressive force from above, and tightened Yangguang's hand, she raised her voice and asked, "Xiao Luo, why don't you leave." ”
Xiao Luo glanced at Shen Yu, and then looked up at Yi Zeran, the man's movements did not change from beginning to end, looking at her like a statue.
"I met a friend, you go back first."
Shen Yuhu stared at the man's back suspiciously for a long time, and was finally dragged away by Yangguang.
"Mr. Yi, do you have anything to do with me?"
There was a chuckle in the night, and the man turned his head to look at the miserable moonlight among the shadows of the trees, and said slowly: "Mother has been thinking about you, let me come and have a look." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Luo blinked, "But my aunt only talked to me on the phone yesterday." ”
There was a moment of silence in the air, and then his voice came again, "If you encounter any difficulties, remember to find me." ”
Xiao Luo took a step forward and stood still in front of him, "Thank you, but I want to solve everything on my own." ”
Yi Zeran's lips moved, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Couples passed by holding hands, and the sound of crisp laughter drove away the silence of the night.
Yi Zeran glanced at her, then turned around, "It's not early, go back and rest." ”
"Mr. Yi!" Xiao Luo stopped him loudly, and the man turned around, the black shadow seemed to be a giant beast engulfed by loneliness, "Stay safe." ”
Yi Zeran didn't respond, turned around and blended into the endless night.
Shen Yu was the only one in the dormitory, and as soon as she went back, the little girl gathered around her to inquire about the situation, and Xiao Luo nodded her head with a smile.
"My mother's son, come to me if you have something, don't think about it."
Shen Yu covered his mouth and smiled, revealing shallow dimples, "What's the matter with your mother's owner's son looking for you?" Even if something happens, isn't it solved with a phone call? ”
Seeing that Xiao Luo ignored her, Shen Yu winked at her, "Seriously, if he is really interesting to you, you can try ......"
Xiao Luo was about to hit her, "Nonsense! I'll let you talk nonsense again!"
The two of you chased after me and made trouble in the dormitory for a while.
After living in the dormitory for a while, Xiao Luo figured out Shen Yu's temperament, and when he was unfamiliar, he didn't look at her shyly, and he could blush when he said anything. When she got acquainted, the girl revealed her true nature, and the slapstick and laughter were completely crazy.
After the trouble, Xiao Luo lay on the bed and seriously thought about Shen Yu's words, she did meet a few suitors when she was so big, including many excellent boys in all aspects, but she never thought about it like Yi Zeran.
Yi Zeran is six years older than her, what is the concept of six years old?
When she was growing in her mother's womb, he was already carrying a schoolbag to elementary school, and when she was still worrying about her livelihood on the college campus, he had become a big man who turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands into rain.
The difference between them is not just age, but the gap that she will not be able to cross in her entire life.
So Yi Zeran will like her...... This is never going to happen to them.

Xiao Luo went to Yi's house the next day, Yi Zeran was not there, and Yi's mother stood alone in the corridor pruning flower branches.
The warm afternoon sun made the old man's cheeks red, and when he saw the person standing outside the door, Yi's mother put down the scissors and greeted him with a smile.
The two of them sat on a wicker chair under the corridor and chatted, and the nanny was busy in the garden with scissors.
In the evening, Yi's mother said that she would not let Xiao Luo leave, and while arranging for the nanny to prepare dinner, she took her hand and walked to the living room.
Xiao Luo couldn't refuse, so he simply stayed for a meal.
The dishes on the dinner table are often eaten during the summer vacation, and after a while, the usual meals are actually delicious.
Yi's mother smiled and served her vegetables, "Eat more, look at you, people have lost a lot of weight after going out for a while...... Originally, there wasn't much meat on his body, and no matter how thin he was, the wind would blow it away. ”
Xiao Luo almost burst into tears when she heard that, in the past, when she was picky and refused to eat, her mother always liked to say this about her - if you don't eat, a gust of wind can blow you away!
Before she knew it, her mother had been gone for three months, and it was just a matter of getting busy, and hearing this suddenly reminded her of her mother's voice and smile.
It's time to urge her mother to come back, she read a sentence silently, blinked her eyes and smiled at Yi's mother.
Mother Yi nodded to her lovingly, and was about to speak, when there was a sound of footsteps at the door.
Yi Zeran saw the happy scene at home when he entered the door, especially the smile on his mother's face - he didn't seem to have seen it since Xiao Luo moved away......
"Zeran, come over and eat."
Yi Zeran answered, took off his black blazer and walked towards the restaurant.
Xiao Luo took two mouthfuls of rice, and when the man sat next to her, the rice in the blue and white porcelain bowl had already bottomed out.
She wiped her mouth and moved to the side quietly, "Auntie, I'm done eating, there is class tomorrow morning, I have to rush back to the dormitory as soon as possible." ”
"How do you go back in the middle of the night?" Yi Mulian stood up, "Don't go back, let Zeran send you over to class tomorrow morning." ”
Xiao Luo glanced at the man who was eating slowly, and shook his head, "Brother Zeran has to go to work tomorrow, so it's not good to trouble him." ”
"This ......" Yi's mother looked at Xiao Luo, and then at her son who didn't say a word, her face was a little embarrassed.
"Sit down." Yi Zeran held the chopsticks in his hand, raised his eyelids and glanced at Xiao Luo, "When I finish eating, I will drive you back." ”
Without waiting for her to refuse, the man spoke slowly: "Now the bus has been suspended, take a taxi...... You're a girl...... So if you want to go back, just wait here. ”
Xiao Luo glanced at the time, and sure enough, the operating time had passed.
After thinking about it for a while, she still chose to stay and wait for Yi Zeran.
