Chapter 1: Alone

Chapter I

The death of the old man hit me hard, he was already my only relative in this world!

For a while, I couldn't accept that this was a fact, and I didn't even dare to face and believe in its existence.

The period during which I followed the old man can be said to be short, only three years, and there was no blood relationship between us!

It's just that in the past three years, he has given me too much, and I have gained too much, and it is only these three years, the time that has passed by at the snap of a finger, but it has topped many people for a lifetime!

The pain of losing a loved one left me empty......

But, I know it's all true! No matter how much I quibble with myself, no matter how sad and sad I am, the truth is still the truth after all! Fate can't resist, I can only accept it silently

My grandfather died early, my father went inexplicably, and at this point, in this world, I am the only one left.

Ay......

Loneliness is terrible, especially loneliness without any hope or purpose, and it takes my breath away.

But life went on, and I had to keep living, surviving, with no goal and no hope.

Guo Shuai and Yao Zhanxun were still deeply asleep, and I sat on the windowsill on the eleventh floor, curled up and hunched, looking at the brightly lit world outside.

The world is still in turmoil! People are still partying! My heart was empty, I didn't want to think about anything, I didn't want to think about anything, and I suddenly felt that I was so out of place in this world!

Li Xiaoran sent a WeChat message and asked me what I was doing! I didn't reply to her

Two minutes passed.

She sent me another message and asked if I was unhappy! He said that everyone was sad about my master's death, and I hope I can think about it and not be immersed in pain and unable to extricate myself!

I still haven't replied to her, because I'm not in the mood to lift a finger right now!

WeChat is here again, it's still Li Xiaoran, she said she hopes I don't want to be like this, she will be sad as a friend!

I thought about it for a while, but decided to reply to a message, I said I was fine, thank you for her concern!

She was silent! I didn't care, I looked at the outside world in a daze, the neon lights kept flashing, a little dazzling, but I didn't dare to close my eyes!

I was afraid that the loneliness would drown me like a tide, and I opened my eyes and looked at the world, at least to prove that I was still alive!

After twenty minutes, the phone rang, it was Li Xiaoran, I hesitated, but I still connected.

Li Xiaoran said that she was downstairs, and if she wanted to invite me to have a cup of coffee if she was fine, she asked me to hurry down.

I glanced down differently, and sure enough, I don't know when, there was a white car parked downstairs, and a girl in a long skirt stood next to the car, looking up, and when she saw me tilting her head, she waved like me vigorously.

I saw that everyone came to the door, and I was embarrassed to refuse, so I said wait a while and hung up the phone.

I looked at Guo Shuai and Yao Zhanxun who were asleep, and didn't wake them up, this trip was too tiring, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted.

I went downstairs, Li Xiaoran's car just stopped at the entrance of the building, she was very beautiful today, wearing a white embroidered dress, elegant and delicate, straight hair casually draped over the shoulders, fluttering in the wind, there was a faint fragrance of shampoo on her body, smelling very comfortable!

I love this kind of dress, it makes me think of the breeze in my hometown when I was a child.

Li Xiaoran saw me appear, smiled at me and didn't speak! Her eyes were watery, as if she could speak.

I was slightly stunned, an inexplicable throbbing in my heart, isn't she usually cold? Why did she smile today, is it because she thinks I'm not in a good state now and wants to comfort me?

For a moment, there was a glimmer of hope in my heart, but it was only for a moment, and then I laughed self-deprecatingly, and it vanished.

Li Xiaoran opened the co-pilot and said: "Let's go, I'll take you to relax, it's not good to stay in the house, I understand your mood best!" ”

I gave her a different look, guessed what she meant, and twisted into the car

The car started slowly, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, there were fewer and fewer cars on the road, and the cool wind poured in through the car window, blowing on my face, sucking into my lungs, and my mood was better!

The car was not fast or slow, none of us spoke, quietly enjoying this rare tranquility, very good!

When the car reached a junction, it turned slowly, and a figure sneaked out of the garden next to it, carrying a bag and a cloak, passing by the edge of the car, and I suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood

As the car moved forward, he jumped into the darkness and disappeared from my sight

I didn't care!

The car gradually drove away from the downtown area, the trees on the side of the road gradually increased, the air was warm and comfortable, I leaned back on the seat, my thoughts drifted far, far away......

I thought a lot, I thought about my dead parents, I thought about the old man, and I thought about my future. I'm lonely, shouldn't I go with the flow, live a plain life, earn a little money, and don't worry about food and clothing! Is there a kind girl who falls in love with me and marries me, even if she is not beautiful!

Thinking about it, I gradually became fascinated, until the inertia woke me up when the car stopped.

I was slightly stunned, oh! It turned out to be a place!

After getting out of the car, I looked around!

It's a spacious café on the edge of the lake, with a sturdy sandy ground mixed with gravel in front of the door, and a botanical garden in the distance.

On the right side of the lake, on a low level, surrounded by hills and vegetation, between the lake and the café is a simple observation deck welded with angle iron, three meters above the ground, with several marble tables on top of it, and soft lights above and around it

We sat down at a random table, Li Xiaoran ordered a cup of Colombia and a plate of fruit pins, and I ordered a latte.

The scenery here is beautiful and natural, there are no opulent decorations, no flashing lights, and no writhing devils!

Late at night, the whole place was just the two of us, and the first snow in Bandari was soothing and peaceful. The breeze is blowing, and it reminds me of a cheesy sentence~ It's like a lover stroking his cheeks, it's very apt!

Although I have never had a lover, let alone been touched by a lover's cheek!

The coffee is warm, just enough to enter the throat, I took it and tasted it, it was a little bitter, with a mellow aroma, no sourness, and the master's craftsmanship was very good.

Feeling the world that owns me or what I have, my mood gradually relaxes, and I am not so lonely.

"Thank you!"

I looked at Li Xiaoran and thanked him sincerely. This girl who feels cold and glamorous when she meets for the first time is actually not very old, but she has a kind and considerate heart

Li Xiaoran smiled slightly, a little sweet, and he asked, "Thank me for what?" ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head, but didn't answer, everyone knows this kind of thing.

She pricked the watermelon with a toothpick and handed it to me, it was very sweet and chilled! She also pierced a piece herself

She said, "Listen to the old man, you should only be 19 years old, right?" ”

I looked at her in surprise and nodded.

"I'm a year older than you, just 20 years old this year, today happens to be my birthday, and today, it seems to be Valentine's Day!"

I looked up, a little surprised, a little apologetic, and I said, "Why don't you celebrate with your family and come and accompany me, an outsider!" ”

She smiled lightly and said, "I have no family, and I have no relatives, just like you!" But I've been an orphan since I was a child, and I haven't seen who my parents are. ”

I was stunned and looked at her blankly, I didn't expect that such a highly educated, proud and cold-hearted girl would be an orphan like me!

Suddenly I realized that compared to her, maybe I was not so unlucky, maybe it wasn't me who really needed comfort, and for a while, I didn't know what to say!

She looked at me, and suddenly her expression became solemn, and she said to me in a very serious tone: "I am not telling you this because I want to comfort you, or that I myself am pitiful, do you know what I mean?" ”

I looked at her seriously again, not Shi Dai Dai, Qiong nose and jade eyes, really beautiful, very beautiful......

Suddenly, I smiled, picked up my coffee, and nodded softly.

She smiled too......
