Chapter 7: Snowy Night (3)

"Liang Jing, what do you say is the fate between people?" When the volume was halfway through the break, Chen Ying asked Liang Jing. At this time, the boy from the mathematics department happened to go out to fetch water.

"I don't know." Liang Jing said.

"Then you say, why are the two people together?"

"Actually, in my opinion, it is a pure coincidence that two people can be together. At that time, in that place, met that person, went through something together, and then maybe they had a mutual affection for each other, or maybe nothing happened. Even if you fall in love, you may not be able to be together, because there are too many accidents and accidents in this world - just one turn, the result may change, what is left will be left, and what is missed will be missed. ”

"It's cruel to love each other, but you can't be together."

"Something like this happens every day. People are inherently cowardly, but they like to pretend to be extremely strong, and they like to make promises that they don't have the courage to fulfill. Because such a promise can best satisfy the vanity of the other party and make people desperate, there are so many impassioned vows in the world. ”

"According to you, it's as if those vows can't be fulfilled."

"Not all vows can be fulfilled, otherwise there wouldn't be seventy percent of the world ocean-"

"What does this have to do with the size of the ocean?"

"The water in the ocean is all tears of crying—why else is it so salty?" Liang Jing smiled eatingly.

"You're kidding me again." Chen Ying's face flushed.

"How are your papers?" The math boy returned, and in addition to the water cup he had just brought out, he also brought back two cans of hot canned coffee. Somewhat embarrassed, he placed the coffee in front of them and turned back to his seat. The two girls looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"W-this is for us?" Liang Jing said and picked up a can of coffee and held it in his hand, the tin jar was still a little hot.

The boy nodded.

"Thank you two for taking care of me this semester, a small return gift is not a respect." He finished in a rough voice, lowered his head again, and continued to mark the test paper intently, as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you, then." Chen Ying also pulled open the coffee can in front of him and said softly.

It was late at night. Midnight in winter is particularly cold. The wind peeked in through the cracks in the white plastic steel windows, making a whirring sound. The coffee just now lifted Chen Ying's mind, and she cheered up and continued to face the test papers that were still stacked like a hill side by side with Liang Jing.
