Under the dim street lamp, Hou Guangyan's face that he hadn't seen for a long time slowly became clear.

"The bookmark of the silver leaf," Xun Keran's voice was soft and soft, "It was a birthday gift from my sister before." ”

The buzzing of flying insects and the sound of insects chirping come and go.

"Actually, it's a set of two, and this is my one. I accompanied her to buy it, and she loved it, so I gave it to you as a birthday present, and always like that, leaving what I thought was the best for you. Hou Guangyan's tone has not changed for so many years, and he is helpless mixed with pampering.

The two of them stood on the silent path, chatting without saying a word.

"When are you going to get married?" Coco took out the silver leaf from her pocket and slowly turned it in a circle in her hand.

"I'm already engaged." Hou Guangyan's words made Coco's face show surprise, and then slowly turned into a smile.

"Who are you fooling, don't think that the level of gossip of the aunts in the community has dropped. They are almost guessing that you have a problem with your sexual orientation, and you are over 30 years old, and you don't even have a girlfriend. ”

"Really," Hou Guangyan took a step forward, one step closer to Coco, that face, familiar lines, and eyes that appeared over and over again in his dreams were so similar to Yun Jie back then, so similar that he didn't even realize how close he was to her, "I'm already engaged, one night during the summer vacation of 20 years old, at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau at the turn of your house." ”

and her.

The smile on Xun Keran's face froze.

There were no witnesses, the street lamps and the surrounding lights were similar to tonight, and I lay in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau without leaving unless Yun Jie agreed to register with me.

――――――――――――――

"Stupid, the Civil Affairs Bureau has been closed for hours, hurry up." Yun Jie said.

"Then we'll come back tomorrow."

"Tomorrow I'm going to talk to my parents about going north."

"No, we have to register before we go."

"I'm not of legal age yet." Xun Yunjie said with a smile.

"Statutory? What law says you can't marry Lao Tzu? I'll change it tomorrow! ”

Yun Jie just laughed, standing in the backlight of the street lamp, her crooked eyes flashing with a faint light.

Hou Guangyan stretched out his hand, and his fingertips touched her face, warm and soft.

"You promise me a request, and I'll get up." He lay there, looking at the blushing smile in front of him.

"I promise." She said.

――――――――――――――

Looking at the eyes that were close at hand, his pupils dilated in an instant, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and the mist of his eyes slowly swelled up, Hou Guangyan didn't know when he stretched out his hand to stroke Coco's face, so many years, that haunting smile looked at himself over and over again in his dream, making him think about a dream that he would never wake up from, at this time, it seemed like it was about to come true, and the skin touched by his fingertips was warm, so close to him. Coco stood there with his head back, letting his fingertips slide slowly down his chin from his face.

"Not going to stop me?" Guangyan asked softly.

You know I think I'm treating you like her, and it's written in your eyes.

Coco didn't make a sound, knowing what, I owe you, and nothing is enough to repay.

Letting that hand linger on his face, Hou Guangyan really didn't have the self-control to take it away, "I know...... Why am I ......? Looking for your ......."

Coco just looked up at him silently.

"Your sister...... I owe me a wish. ”

There was a long silence.

Coco replied in a soft voice, "I'll pay it back for her... Whatever. ”

Hou Guangyan's lips were only a few centimeters away from Coco, but his voice suddenly became very cold, "Who do you think you are?" ”

――――――――――――――

Zhou Daxuan's fists clenched, and then released, clenched again, and released again, in fact, he didn't realize that he was doing this action at all.

As a criminal policeman, of course, he was keenly aware of Coco's abnormality, and he also guessed that the mysterious man who gave gifts during the day would appear in the next few days, so he just said to leave, just hiding in a nearby car, waiting to see Coco return to the door safely.

Outside the car window, the two of them stood under the street lamp not far away, watching the man get closer to Coco little by little, watching him touch his hand to her face, he was still patient, in fact, he couldn't tell what he was waiting for, maybe it was a trace of Coco's resistance? In short, he knew that if he saw Coco backhand slap the man at this time, he would feel very comfortable in the bottom of his heart.

Otherwise, what is it if you rush up now, if Coco says that you don't need me...... If she really doesn't need me......

Hou Guangyan, the same age as himself, went abroad to study at the age of 20, returned to China a few years later, once adopted a child, single, except that his parents' family used to live in the same community as Coco's parents' house, he couldn't see any intersection with Coco...... Could it be that her father introduced her? No, this action doesn't look like an introduction at all, and Coco's expression of eagerly chasing out the door in the morning seems to be a good old friend...... Damn, what do you mean by being old, this kind of mess......

The brain's cranky thoughts were still going on, and the man on the other side of the eye suddenly leaned in and kissed Coco on the lips.

Zhou Daxuan's brain had stopped, but the movement was as fast as a lit firecracker, he opened the door and jumped out of the car, and rushed in the direction of Coco.

As soon as Hou Guangyan left Coco's lips, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow jumping out of the car not far away, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Your dog is staring at it so tightly." ”

"I'm not her." Coco clenched her fists and said with the last bit of strength.

Hou Guangyan glanced down at her, still sneering faintly, "That's right, you're not, and you're not worthy." Then he turned and left.

When Zhou Daxuan ran in front of Coco, the man's figure had already walked out of the corner of his sight, he gasped angrily, turned his head and rushed towards Coco, just wanted to get angry, but was shocked by the picture in front of him.

Xun Keran stood in place, tears falling down like droplets of light, directly across his face and on the tips of his shoes.

Da Xuan stepped forward and hugged her.

He said...... He...... Say...... Sister...... owed, a ...... Aspiration. Tears choked on the words of the broken thread.

In just a moment, Da Xuan understood the man's origin.

Don't say anything, Da Xuan patted Coco's back and couldn't say a word.

Ke Ke covered his face with his hands and couldn't cry.

A kiss, twelve years.
