The noise in the restaurant subsided as the students dispersed.

The dreary summer was also hidden by the endless dusk when evening came.

The slightly cooler air could not relax Berlin's heavy mood at this time.

The reason is simple, Chen Kexin made a remark asking him to help....

In Berlin, Chen Kexin is stronger than everyone he has ever known. Berlin knows that a character like this has been cultivated since childhood, so she will not ask for help easily, even if it is her own illness.... Therefore, Chen Kexin opened his mouth this time, and he cared.

"Busy? You said... If I can help. ”

"Can you see a doctor if you tell your fortune?"

“....”

Chen Kexin, however, made a request to Berlin that Berlin did not know how to respond.

He understood what Chen Kexin was trying to help.

"Do you want me to see my aunt?" Berlin immediately asked, seeing Chen Kexin nodded immediately, he could only face Chen Kexin with a helpless smile, "Kexin, I can't see a doctor..."

Chen Kexin's lost expression could not be concealed.

Berlin can only face it in silence.

He can know that Chen Kexin's mother will die of illness this year.

Can he speak?

Can he change?

Neither.

Berlin smiled bitterly, once watching those protagonists in TV dramas who felt embarrassed about something and did not open their mouths to explain something important, Berlin would always scold the screenwriter for his incompetence and the cowardice of the protagonist.

But when it came to him, he understood why they couldn't speak. Why is there that feeling of powerlessness.... What if you say that? Does it add to Chen Kexin's pain?

The rest of the meal time is no longer the first to start playing with the ridicule.

After eating quietly, Fang Yuan beckoned Berlin home.

"You go back first." Standing at the door, looking at the sky that was beginning to darken, Berlin said round.

"You're not going back?"

"I've got something."

“...”

Berlin stood in the doorway and stopped. He looked into the distance of the sky, not knowing what he was looking at, what he was thinking...

Fang Yuan paid attention to Berlin's eyes, he felt that Berlin had changed a lot since he came back from the hospital.... So much so that he felt that Berlin was a little strange.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you really know how to tell fortunes?" ”

Berlin laughed, "What do you think?" ”

Fang Yuan pursed his lips, "How do I know..."

Berlin said: "Is there any fortune-telling thing in this world?" Everything that a person can know is just from what he already knows..."Speaking of this, Berlin looked at Fang Yuan, his eyes were a little complicated, "I think you must wonder why I am so accurate about Chen Kexin." Hawkers, if there is a chance, or maybe, someday in the future, I will tell you why I will count this fortune.... Hahaha, of course, I don't know if you will remember my words in the future. ”

Fang Yuan was gone.

Berlin stood at the door and waited.

People came and went, and almost half of the students in school uniforms left, and the noodle shop seemed a little empty. The proprietress began to tidy up, and Chen Kexin was helping. In the end, the two of them were done, and the proprietress said that you should empty your things on the trash can on the side of the road in front of you and go home. Later, Chen Kexin twisted a large bag of garbage, carried a small bag, and walked out.

As soon as she went out, she saw Berlin at the door.

Berlin ignored her stunned and said to her, "I'll come." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took over the garbage that Chen Kexin was struggling to twist.

He walked in front, Chen Kexin followed behind, and it was not until Berlin threw the garbage into the trash can that Chen Kexin asked, "Are you waiting for me here?" ”

"yes." Berlin nodded.

"For... What? ”

"There is no why," Berlin replied calmly.

“....”

There was a strange feeling in Chen Kexin's eyes, she felt that there must be a reason, but she didn't know how to continue asking. She also had a thought that made her cheeks red, but there was no such emotion in Berlin's eyes...

The reason why Berlin stayed was actually quite simple.

If the timeline is right, his guess is correct, it is probably a month or two after Chen Kexin's mother died. Her family is in tatters, so where does she go from here? Chen Bin was still a child at this time, and he couldn't help her, her father had died early, and she had no relatives...

Berlin can imagine that feeling.

The whole world, as if she was alone...

Loneliness, helplessness, pain...

He didn't want Chen Kexin to fall into this mood...

He couldn't change the course, he could only approach her, trying to make her feel that at least he was still there, that someone was helping her. At least, he is also Chen Kexin's relative. The person closest to her in the future....

The two walked along, dull at first, and then there was a sentence without a word, and they began to have a topic.

From filling in the application to the dream of university.

From favorite food, to disgusting food....

"My mom told me that her wish was to see me and my brother get married, and then she would be a grandmother and a grandmother together. Hee-hee, you're saying it's far away, right? How old is my brother and me, and that's all my mother thinks? But my mom wasn't old at that time.... When the time comes, I will also ask her to name my child. Chen Kexin said of her mother.

Berlin's smile suddenly stiffened.

He subconsciously restrained a little, but he was unwilling to let his feelings of loss be so clear, he could only maintain his original smile.

Berlin understood the meaning of Chen Kexin's mother's words.

Chen Kexin's mother couldn't see that scene anymore.

She knew it in her heart.

So she had hope...

Nini's birth, she certainly didn't see it.

If only she could see ....

"Berlin, why don't you feel very happy?" Chen Kexin noticed the mood in Berlin.

“... Yes? Have it? Berlin made a puzzled expression: "You feel wrong, right?" I think your mom is funny, and she's laughing. ”

"Hey, yes, yes, I think..."

Finally, the two people who exchanged arrived at the intersection of parting.

"I'm going to work at the hotel in front." Chen Kexin said goodbye.

"Is it paid directly over there?" Berlin asked.

"Yes. I don't have to wash it for long... Every month, I saved enough money to cover some of my school expenses. Chen Kexin replied.

Berlin guesses that there will not be much money, presumably only a few hundred dollars. If there are three or four hundred, if there is less, it may be one or two hundred. After all, she is a student, what kind of money can she make?

"You're amazing, Kexin.... Really, I didn't think you would start working part-time to make money right now. ”

"Once upon a time?" Chen Kexin was puzzled: "How long have we known each other?" ”

"Ahh Hehe, I mean from the feeling when I first met. Berlin hurriedly explained, but after explaining, Berlin was a little worried in his eyes, "Aren't you very tired like this?" I see you work part-time day and night... I'm going to go back to school.."

Chen Kexin smiled.

She didn't explain.

Her smile is so sweet and gentle....

"It's fine."

She left a word, and she left.
