The corner coffee shop is petty and elegant, with elegant décor, log-style tables and chairs, and stacks of books and magazines on the walls. In the early 2000s, a cup of coffee sold for 15 yuan, which was ridiculously expensive for high school students. But Zhan Xiaopai likes it here, and after getting along with Xiaoding, he will bring him here to sit every once in a while, and always insists that she treat him. Her reason is very good, because she didn't have to spend money to come here, she used a coffee coupon given by her mother He Shuyu, and one coupon can be exchanged for a cup of coffee.

At first, Xiao Ding believed it, but later inadvertently found out that there were actually only four coffee coupon pies, and after going twice, she exchanged money for coupons in advance and then took him there. After learning the truth, Xiao Ding didn't tell the truth, but when Xiao Pi asked him to come again in the future, every time he rushed to pay the bill, insisting that Xiao Pi keep her coffee roll for next time. Later, Pie found out that the money that Ding used to pay the bill was saved from the lunch fee, and after that, she never mentioned the coffee again.

The school gate is not a place to talk, or Xiao Ding proposed to come here. After entering the door and sitting down, Xiaopai ordered iced tea, and Xiao Ding asked for the same, but the two still rushed to pay, and finally Xiao Ding went directly to the bar to pay.

Sitting across the table, Xiao Ding was silent as always, not knowing what he was thinking, Xiao Pie wanted to adjust the atmosphere, so he picked up the cup and took a sip of the straw, and said with satisfaction: "Hmm! This iced tea is so delicious! Don't you taste it? ”

Xiao Ding glanced at Xiao Pi, picked up the cup and tasted it, and said, "It's okay." ”

"Is it just okay?"

"To be honest, it's not as delicious as the sour plum soup my mother makes."

The "......" faction was speechless, the atmosphere adjustment failed, and the two fell silent again. At this time, Xiao Pi had already concluded that something must have happened on Xiao Ding's side, and that incident must have something to do with her, for some reason, she felt an inexplicable nervousness, waiting for Xiao Ding to reveal the answer.

After a long time, Bai Xiaoding finally spoke, "Xiaopai, do you remember that winter vacation, when our small group was reviewing at Yan Xiaose's house, did you propose to play that aphorism game?" ”

"Remember, I was the first to finish writing ......."

"Well, you wrote 'Imperfect, You Don't Survive,' and everyone thinks you're the highest-key, saying that you're born to be perfect."

"Hmm......" Xiaopai obviously liked the topic, and a smile appeared on his face, "Qian Xiaoying's 'selling self-esteem in front of money and love is the most stupid thing', which is criticized by everyone for being too realistic." ”

"Yes, Bian Xiaoxuan is the most engaged, what 'human life, God is destined, I can calculate', hehe......" Xiaoding said and laughed.

"That's right!" Seeing Xiao Ding smiling, Xiao Pai's mood was high, "Yan Xiaose is the most unreliable, and 'life is for games', but it's really free and easy." ”

"Well, Du Xiaolei's most nonsensical, 'I want food, I want thin', and 'God bless', haha." The more Bai Xiaoding spoke, the more funny he felt.

"Everyone says that you are the most boring, what 'I am fortunate to win, lose my life', you are old-fashioned like a little old man!"

"Yes......" The smile on Bai Xiaoding's face gradually froze, his expression became low, and after a pause, he lowered his head and whispered: "Xiaopai, I don't want to repeat it, I want to go to Danbei College with Xiaoxuan Xiaolei and them......"

"Oh......" Zhan Xiaopai's gaze quickly dimmed, and her heart said that this was the answer, she controlled her emotions and asked as casually as she could, "Why?" Is there a reason? ”

"The reason ......" Bai Xiaoding thought for a long time and gave a very nonsensical answer: "The threshold of Peking University is too high, I can't step over ......"

"You ......" Although he tried his best to suppress it, Zhan Xiaopai's emotions were still excited, and his voice trembled slightly, "Do you dare not step or don't want to step?" ”

"Whether you don't dare or don't want to, it doesn't matter anymore, because ......" Bai Xiaoding's eyes lowered and he looked like he was resigned to his fate, "The result is the same." ”

"And what about our agreement?"

"I'm sorry ......"

"Bai Xiaoding!" This answer was obviously unacceptable to the faction, "Don't you think you've told me sorry too many times during this time?" Why exactly? Can you tell me? ”

Bai Xiaoding was silent, although he didn't know how to answer Xiao Pai's series of questions, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, and his pride did not allow him to tell Xiao Pai the truth.

Bai Xiaoding believes that now, telling the truth is equivalent to begging her for mercy, begging her, the proud daughter of heaven who went to a prestigious school, for the sake of him being a filial son, to maintain a long-distance relationship with himself, a poor boy who has read two books, in the next four years of his college career. And even if she is willing to do so, he is unwilling, after all, they will be in different worlds next, in the capital, on the campus of Peking University, there will be many boys who are better than themselves to appear by Xiaopai's side, and her life will undoubtedly usher in more exciting. As for him Bai Xiaoding, he loves her and loves her deeply, as long as it is good for her, he is willing to do it, and he will never let his beloved make sacrifices in order to accommodate himself.

Now that we have come to a fork in the road in life, and parting ways is a foregone conclusion, instead of being a miserable and poor worm, it is better to be a bastard who breaks his word and gets fat, and there is no need to complicate things anymore.

"No wonder you just said the aphorism, do you want to tell me that you have accepted your fate, Bai Xiaoding? Where are all your ambitions? The more Zhan Xiaopai spoke, the more excited he became, and he had already stood up from his seat, "What you said to me before, and that kiss, are they all fake?" ”

"Not really!" Xiao Ding raised his head and rushed out, but his gaze and Xiao Pai were about to collapse, so he had to lower his head again.

"Okay, even if you're true, then I said I can do anything for love, can you?"

Bai Xiaoding lowered his head and remained motionless, he didn't dare to look at Xiao Pai's face and look at the eyes full of tears. A moment later, Pie left, still with his head bowed and motionless, tears already pouring down his face......
