......

On August 14th, a month had passed since the day of the break.

According to the original travel plan, the two should be in Europe and travel around the world, enjoying the sweet youth, then Asia, and then return to the United States at the end of the month, how nice it would be.

Brentwood, a bus stop next to a residential home on Sunset Boulevard, is still shining in the summer afternoon, the squirrels on the trees are busy, the flowers are as beautiful as ever, and the breeze smells of the sea.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old stands on the side of the road, wearing a snow-white knee-length dress, a pair of light blue sandals, a beige Chanel handbag in her left hand, and a fresh lily in her right hand.

Her long hair is tied back in a ponytail, her beautiful face is slightly covered with light makeup, two heroic thick eyebrows, a straight nose, and her temperament is elegant and sassy.

And those big clear eyes, looking at the intersection across the avenue, seemed to be waiting for someone, but as time passed, a trace of melancholy flowed from time to time.

Suddenly, at this time, the girl faintly heard a familiar cry coming from behind her: "Lily......!" No one, just an illusion. She looked at the watch on her left wrist, looked at the blue sky, and continued to wait.

The eyes of the young boys passing by will be attracted by the girl, and they will look back after walking far away, which bastard made such a beautiful woman wait for him?

"Sorry, I'm late, just got back from school. ”

"School? aha, it's fun. ”

Thinking about something, the girl raised the lily in her hand and sniffed it gently, and the faint fragrance was still there.

"Forget it, let's separate first, we all need space to revisit our relationship. ”

"One answer, forget it, I don't like to be friends with my ex-girlfriend, don't talk about it, I'm still busy with things. ”

"The fourth article of the IA relationship, no matter what the reason, if one party wants to end the relationship, then ...... During those three months, we kept a half-finished state, didn't make phone calls, didn't make contact, saw each other once a month, played together for a day, went to the places we used to like to play, and did what we used to like to do. After three months or three meetings, if you still want to end, that's the end. ”

Does he remember?

......

"Goodbye, my dear friend, we met when we were nine or ten years old, and we used to climb mountains and trees together, learn love and ABC, and we were hurt both physically and mentally. ”

Brentwood, South Grettner Green Street, Ye's house, in the boys' room, Ye Wei sang while packing his luggage into the suitcase.

Lev, who was sitting in the computer chair over there, sighed, didn't sing together like usual, looked a little sad, and said: "I don't like your surprise very much, I suddenly want to go to Canada as an exchange student, and we finally went to high school with great difficulty!"

Ye Wei threw a copy of the bedside table to Lev and continued to sing: "Goodbye, my dear friend, it's really hard to leave, when all the birds are singing in the sky, spring will fill the air, there will be cute girls everywhere, think of me, I will appear there." ”

Even his favorite book couldn't arouse Lev's affection, "Brother Wei, are you and Lily really separated......?"

Ye Wei paused, turned around and walked to the wardrobe, and sang: "We used to have happiness, fun, and the sunny season, but the time we spent climbing the mountain together is gone. ”

"What school?" asked Lev with a sigh.

"Wexford School of the Arts, a public high school. Ye Wei finally replied with a voice. Lev was shocked: "Public high school?"

Ye Wei opened the wardrobe, took out some autumn and winter clothes, and replied: "The school has done its best, you know that at this time, it is not easy to do one-on-one solo exchange in such a short time, and it is still an art school." And Canada's public schools are no worse than private ones, some are even better, this high school is quite famous, and I have to learn. ”

"Okay. Lev nodded, watching Ye Wei put the clothes into the box, "When will you come back?"

"I don't know, look at what it looks like. Ye Wei shrugged and smiled, "Man, what era is it, there is no need to leave with difficulty, if you want to, we will have a video call every day." ”

"Even though you're handsome, I'm not in that interest. Lev first thought of finding a girl to make a video call, and then thought of a girl, and exclaimed, "Master Gia doesn't know yet!" Yesterday she called me and asked me about school, and she was very excited to go to school with us. ”

"So I haven't sued her yet. Ye Wei raised his finger and shushed, "Otherwise, if she suddenly stops reading, her grandfather Coppola will definitely make trouble for me." ”

At this time, a text message came from his private mobile phone, took it out and opened it.

......

"Old place", the girl put the lilies on the side of the road to the bushes from above, took out her mobile phone and flipped it, there was no new text message, nothing.

It's long gone, the day a month ago, she ended it with her own hands, isn't it?

......

"Do you know where to buy it? I can't find it. ”

Emma Roberts sent a text message, Ye Wei suddenly turned his head and asked Lev: "Does your bookstore sell it?

"Who knows. Lev spread his hands in astonishment, he was not in charge of the bookstore, "If it's an ordinary bestseller, I must have it there; ”

He suddenly knocked his big nose, took out his mobile phone and called the bookstore, "What era is it, let me ask...... Dad, do you still sell it in the store? Oh, brother, there is! This book has nothing to do with selling out, you want to have ten copies. ”

“ok。 Ye Wei understood, Emma didn't have anything to say, but this book was recommended by him, and he had a little responsibility for her purchase, so he replied: "You can go to my friend Lev's 'Elysée Bookstore' to find it, this is the address, Westwood......"

"Do you have time to be my guide? I'd like to buy more books. ”

Looking at this text message, Ye Wei couldn't help but smile, and said to Lev: "Man, your family is going to have a big income today." He replied, "You go first, call me 15 minutes before you arrive." His house is only a 10-minute drive from the Lev family's bookstore.

After less than half an hour, Emma sent a text message saying that it was almost there, and Ye Wei drove Lev to the "Elysee Bookstore" in Westwood.

"Hi viy, it's great that you're here, I'm eager to buy books today and want to hear your opinion. ”

On the quiet street outside the bookstore, when she saw Ye Wei getting out of the car and walking, Emma walked towards him happily, she was dressed in a leisurely T-shirt and jeans, painted eyebrows, and put on a very light lipstick, as if she was trying to look more mature, but she was still so petite.

"It's not just opinions, it's discounts. Ye Wei smiled at her, and took the lead into the small bookstore, I don't know how many times I have been here since I was a child, it was like another nest of my own, after entering the store, he smiled and greeted Lev's father behind the account counter, and Voltaire, a civet cat raised in the bookstore.

And when he saw Emma in the back, Voltaire jumped on her shoulder, and Emma, who was not afraid of cats, teased her.

"Are you here to buy a book or a cat?" Ye Wei shouted.

"Buy books. Emma pursed her lips and smiled.

"If you want it, take it. Ye Wei walked in front of the sales shelf closest to the door, took an unopened new book to her, and asked, "What other books do you want to buy?" Emma couldn't say for a while: "Do you have any recommendations?"

Ye Wei thought for a while, "The recent new books are all here, how about the old books? What about the unpopular books? Unpopular but very interesting." ”

"Of course! I just want that kind of book. Emma nodded busily.

"Come with me, let's be a book shopper!" Ye Wei took her to the front of several rows of bookshelves in the bookstore, these are all old books of different years, some are quite rare, Lev's father spent time to buy them back, the price is naturally very expensive, like this kind of out-of-print rare old books, selling a few copies a month can be maintained.

"Welcome to the treasure trove of books!"

Ye Wei spread his hands and introduced, Emma smiled sweetly, showing dimples, and sighed. At the moment, the two of them got together, at first Ye Wei introduced which book, Emma liked to buy it all, and then after five or six copies, she felt that it was not presentable, so she began to know how to refuse, which made Ye Wei funny.

"(Bad-Men), written by John Connelly, Detective Thriller, this is not very old, last year's book, how did it come here, have you read it?"

"No, I haven't even heard of it. ”

"Haha, maybe you're not old enough to read this kind of book, it's like an R-rated movie. ”

"I'm not a kid!"

Emma frowned and said, but Ye Wei smiled indifferently, holding the book and flipping it over, she stared at her, and leaned over to look at it, but he raised it up and didn't let her see it, because of the height difference, she really couldn't see it, so she could only turn to him and look up on tiptoe.

Almost next to his body, she was suddenly rushed by his breath, and she realized this, and her heart suddenly became a little confused, and her eyes secretly glanced at him.

"John Connelly's book is just enough. Ye Wei looked at the middle pages, was talking about the book, and turned his eyes to look at Emma, only to see that her face was red, her eyes collided, and her expression was a little strange. He could see what was going on.

He deliberately leaned down, close to her face, close to her lips......

Emma froze, her breathing suddenly became rapid, and she couldn't help but take a step back, but he immediately took a step closer, and behind him was the bookshelf, and she didn't retreat, pursing her lips slightly.

At the moment when the two were about to kiss, Ye Wei stepped back, stood up straight, patted the top of her head with his hand, and showed a teasing smile, "Little girl, don't get too close to me, I'm too dangerous to you." ”

He threw the book to her, "This one is good, I recommend it to you." ”

"Oh......" Emma caught it in a hurry, watching Ye Wei turn around and walk, she quietly exhaled the hot breath that had accumulated in her chest, and grabbed the book in her hand.

......

Time passed little by little, and it was already an hour since the first time we had chosen to hang out at 4:00pm.

At the bus stop, the face of the girl in white was expressionless, and she looked around again, her eyes searched among the grass and trees, but there was no figure.

He's not coming, he's not coming...... There's nothing to separate first, there's nothing to do with IA, it's all over.

The girl looked at the end of the horizon at the opposite intersection again, and as soon as the wind was as calm as ever, she smiled jerkyly, turned and walked in the direction of the north side of the house, her steps were very slow, she threw her handbag in her hand, and kicked the clean road with her feet.

After walking for a while, she stepped on the shade of the trees on the road, jumped forward again and again, jumped on the stone edge of the fence in the front yard of a resident on the side of the road, walked carefully with her hands outstretched, jumped down, continued walking, picked up a bag of potato chips that was floating around, walked to the garbage can not far in front and threw it in.

She made a smug expression, her thick eyebrows gradually wrinkled slightly, and after walking a little longer, she saw a flower bush blooming on the side of the road, and she put the lily that she had been holding in her right hand into the flower, as if it were also there with life, and she looked at it for a while, and swung it several times, and arranged it perfectly.

A flock of homing birds flew in the sky, and the girl strode along.

Tomorrow is another day.

But.

Such a definite love is only once in a lifetime.

......

Nothing happened in the afternoon at the bookstore, except for Emma who bought a dozen books.

Ye Wei said goodbye to her outside the bookstore, and then went to Santa Monica Beach with Lev to meet Budd, Chen Nuo, Corwin and others, and had a fun game on the last Saturday before he went to Canada.

Everyone is very reluctant to let him go, but everyone also knows that if the film is done well, the Dream Chaser Alliance will shine its true light to the world.

When I got home from Santa Monica, it was already dusk, maybe it was subconscious, maybe it was really a whim, Ye Wei rode his bicycle and wandered outside.

After walking around the neighborhood for a while, he gradually approached the "old place", and finally he couldn't fool himself, if he didn't go there today, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully in the future. But when he drove to the bus stop, he drove straight past without even stopping, and there was no sign of him.

Ye Wei seemed to drive forward aimlessly, but he got closer and closer to Lily's home, until he suddenly saw a blooming lily among a flower bush on the side of the road, and as if he had woken up from a dream, he turned the car around and drove back.

I love you because you're the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night.

Not because I'm lonely, or because I'm afraid.

It's because I want you to have a good dream.

Anyway, hopefully you'll always have good dreams.

Good night.
