Entering the beginning of the school season, Lu Li and I are both busy.

The new curriculum was reformed, the school year plan was handed in and then withdrawn and revised and changed, and I often worked overtime until midnight, dragging my tired body home and falling asleep. And Lu Li seems to be busy with scientific research papers recently, and he has already gone out before I get up early in the morning.

The two of us rarely meet at home, and the "confession" about Lu Li has gradually been forgotten in our busy lives.

On this day, I was in my office and sent the last draft of the academic year plan to the head of the department, when suddenly there was a rumbling thunder outside, a strong wind howling, and a heavy downpour was coming.

The sun was shining before I went out this morning, so I moved all the flowers and plants to the terrace that extended out of the balcony, so that the sunlight could shine on the flowers and plants thoroughly.

Those fragile flowers and plants can't withstand the ravages of the storm, and I have promised Aunt Lu Li to take care of these plants.

Lu Li has been doing experiments in the laboratory and writing papers recently, and he hasn't been home for the past two days, so it seems that these flowers and plants can only be saved by me.

So I turned off my computer and hurried out of the office to hail a taxi at the school gate. Fortunately, when I arrived at the gate of the community, the rain gradually hit. I didn't care about the umbrella, so I got out of the car and went straight home.

Half an hour later, he finally succeeded in saving Lu Li's father's treasures. But I accidentally slipped on the balcony, and my right hand slammed into the gap in the flower pot, and a deep cut was made in my palm, and blood flowed.

I hurried to the toilet to clean the wound, and although the blood was washed away, the exposed wound oozed a trace of blood once it was pulled.

I rummaged through the room, but I couldn't find a single band-aid. It was raining so hard outside, and I didn't bother to go to the pharmacy, so I had to call Lu Li for help.

"What's the matter?" Lu asked when he left the door and saw the mountain.

"I didn't bother to scratch my hand just now, do you have a band-aid at home?"

"How did you scratch it? Is the wound big? Why are you so careless, I'll go back and help you deal with it now. Although there was a little reproach in his tone, because I hadn't heard Lu Li's voice for a long time, I felt that his voice was so beautiful even to reproach me.

I looked at the small wound on the palm of my hand, and then looked at the heavy rain outside the window, "No need, the wound is not big, I can handle it myself, you can tell me where the band-aid is." ”

Lu Li was silent for a while, "There is a medicine box at the bottom of the bookshelf in my room, which contains iodine wine and gauze. ”

"Okay, I got it." I was reluctant to hang up.

"Zhen Zhen, I'll go home tomorrow," Lu Li paused for a moment and continued, "Tomorrow we'll go to Chen Fei's wedding together." ”

This is the first time I've been in Lu Li's room, and his room is clean and tidy.

And I'm drenched all over at the moment, and my clothes are still stained with dirt from carrying flower pots. I had to walk in on tiptoe, but each step seemed to defile the holiness of the room.

I quickly found the medicine box at the bottom of the bookshelf, and when I was about to take it out, I accidentally caught a glimpse of another box that was also placed at the bottom of the bookshelf.

What caught my attention was a maple leaf on the box, it was not some strange or rare variety of maple leaf, it was the one I gave him when I walked Wanfeng Road with Lu Li many years ago.

There is also a letter under the maple leaf, and the font on the envelope that reads "Lu Li" is all too familiar to me, because it is clearly the letter I sent to Lu Li at the "Time Slow Express" bookstore eight years ago.

I picked up the letter, and there was an identical envelope underneath, with the words "Ye Zhenzhen received" written on it, which was a letter sent to me by Lu Li.

However, why did the letter that was supposed to arrive in January appear at Lu Li's house?

One day in January, Lu Li appeared downstairs at my house, and he unnaturally stuffed something that looked like an envelope in his hand into his pocket.

It seems that what Lu Li said at that time was to deal with some things in order to gain trust. But why did he intercept the letter he was supposed to send me?

Ignoring the bleeding wound on my hand, I trembled and opened the letter Lu Li had written to me.

Vera:

Sometimes I always fantasize about whether youth will be frozen by the arrival of snow and no longer pass away quietly; Sometimes I am also confused, how can I imprint the most beautiful part of my youth somewhere, so that I can relive it, or when I wake up one day, I still sit next to you and watch you and the Gu family siblings laugh and play.

But I never had the luxury of turning back time, because if I could really turn back time, none of this would be so precious. I want to like you more than to be liked. If I like you, there must be three points, and the three points I am talking about are not three points of "three points of water and seven points of dust", but three points of "there are only three points of moonlight in the world".

However, if you compare it to the fact that I can like you, I am even happier that you can like me, thank you for liking me.

The corners of my mouth pulled into an ugly smile, when did Lu Li know that I liked him? Over the years, he has watched me as a bystander, jealous for him, nervous for him, crying for him, and laughing for him, how does he feel? And what does it mean that he treasures the maple leaf I gave him?

I absentmindedly cleaned the wounds, put the things back one by one, and left as if nothing had happened.

But even though I pretended to be calm, I still had a great outburst the next day.

Chen Fei's wedding banquet was held in conjunction with his son's full moon wine. Because of double happiness, almost the entire class of high school students was invited.

I didn't wait for Lu Li to go to the banquet at home, but went out very early to find Gu Zijin and them together.

When Lu Li walked into the banquet hall, I was already sitting on the banquet.

Seeing Lu Li come in, Gu Zijin consciously gave up his position beside me, quietly moved to other seats, and gave me an ambiguous look.

Lu Li sat down directly next to me and looked at me with a frown, "Didn't you ask you to wait for me to come along?" Reach out and show me. ”

At this time, I was angry, pouting and handing it over, but I deliberately turned my head away from looking at Lu Li.

I felt that the gauze on my hand was gently torn apart, and then a cold breath brushed my palm. I couldn't help but turn my head to see that Lu Li had brought iodine with him and was using a cotton swab to clean my wounds.

His movements were extremely gentle, for fear of hurting me, and from time to time he would put his mouth close to my wound and blow softly.

Lu Li's movements and I were very ambiguous at the moment, which caused the people around me to look at me frequently, and I even saw Gu Zijin sitting next door with a wicked smile on his face.

I shrank my hand in embarrassment, "My hand is fine, everyone is watching." ”

Lu Li didn't care, "What are you minding about?" ”

What do I mind, of course in what capacity you are cleaning my wounds now.

But there are too many people, and I can't break out.

While Lu Li was not paying attention, I withdrew my hand and pretended to turn my head to talk to Wang Ning.

During the banquet, Qian Cheng brought his 3-year-old son over to toast with us: "Chen Fei is my good brother, he is getting married today, and I, as a brother, will entertain you for him." ”

Gu Zipei patted Qian Cheng's shoulder, "Old Qian is okay, my son is so old." ”

Qian Cheng drank the glass of wine and said embarrassedly: "I can't stop it when fate comes." Zipei, when will you and Wang Ning do good things? ”

This time it was Gu Zipei's turn to be embarrassed, and looked at Wang Ning with a red face waiting for her instructions.

Wang Ning pinched Gu Zipei fiercely, "Look at what I'm doing, I don't know." ”

Gu Zipei was anxious and hugged Wang Ning's shoulder, "Then I am willing to marry, and you must also agree to marry." ”

Caught off guard, they were fed a mouthful of dog food, and everyone laughed and joked about them.

At this time, someone suddenly pulled the corner of my clothes, I lowered my head, it turned out to be Qian Cheng's son.

The little guy tilted his head and innocently asked me: "Auntie, are you married"?

I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied, "Not yet." ”

The little guy continued to ask, "Auntie, how old are you this year?" Why haven't you gotten married at such an old age? You see, my dad has already given birth to me. ”

I squatted down with a smile, pinched his fat face, and replied kindly, "Because no one likes Auntie." If I look as cute as you, there will definitely be a lot of people who like it. ”

The little guy pointed to Lu Li, his eyes full of doubts, "But I see that this uncle has been secretly watching you." ”

"Xiao Heng, what nonsense are you talking about." Qian Cheng picked up the little guy and toasted a glass of wine, "I'm sorry, the child is not sensible." ”

Lu Li stretched out his hand and rubbed the little guy's head, "It's okay, Tong Yan Wuji." ”

I poured myself a glass of wine and saluted Qian Cheng in return, "I hope Xiaoheng grows up healthy." ”

I threw my head up and drained the whole glass of wine in one gulp, I rarely drank alcohol, and suddenly I felt that my throat was on fire, and I almost burst into tears.

"Zhen Zhen, a heroine among women, admire and admire." Qian Cheng gave me a thumbs up, then turned his head and said to Lu Li: "Lu Li, you have been in the United States for so long, many classmates are very worried about you, I will take you to the next table to say hello." “

Lu Li nodded in agreement, and when he left, he glared at me who still wanted to pour wine, "Ye Zhenzhen, you give me less drink." ”

I grimaced at Lu Li's back, continued to fill my glass, and grunted a few more glasses with my head up.

Gu Zijin and Wang Ning saw that I couldn't stop drinking, so they stopped me.

But by this time I had drunk a little too much, and I only felt that my face was hot, my heart was beating faster, my limbs were sore, and my head was groggy, but my consciousness was very clear.

I leaned on Gu Zijin's shoulder, blindfolded and listened to her and Wang Ning.

Wang Ning pointed to the empty bottle in front of me, "What's wrong with Zhen Zhen today?" She didn't seem to be very happy, but she didn't eat much wine but she drank two bottles. ”

Gu Zijin helped me to tilt my head on her arm, "Zhen Zhen is unhappy because of Lu Li's guy." This guy is just going to make us sad. ”

"What's wrong with her?" A tall shadow stood in front of me, and I struggled to keep my eyes open to see that it was Lu Li.

"Zhen Zhen seems to be drunk, why don't you send her back."

I nodded desperately, wanting to say that I was indeed going home, because my stomach was tumbling and my head hurt badly, but I also wanted to say that I didn't want Lu Li to send me back, and I didn't want to see him for the time being. But as soon as he spoke, the words that came out of his mouth turned into the vague murmur of a drunkard.

I didn't expect Gu Zijin to usually sympathize with me, and when it came to the critical moment, she took the opportunity very consciously, and I was drunk into a puddle of mud and I handed it over to Lu Li's arms.

I waved my hand at Gu Zijin and Wang Ning, trying to tell them that I didn't want to go home with this guy, but they didn't realize what I meant at all, thinking that I was saying goodbye to them.

In this way, I was half-dragged out of the hotel by Lu Li.

Lu Li half-squatted in front of me, took my hand and pulled me to his back, and said in a gentle tone I had never heard before: "Little drunkard, I will carry you home." ”
