Looking at the person next to him who still had tears on his face, Mo Qingqian stretched out his hand to wipe it for him, and suddenly said a sentence that had been buried in his heart for a long, long time: "Jiangye, do you like me?" ”

"Yes, really, really, very much." Will leave the night without hesitation to answer.

But Mo Qingqian saw the sadness in his eyes and the bitterness in the corners of his mouth.

She didn't care, she really didn't care at all. She only cared about the answer he gave her, "I like it, I really like it, really, very much". She didn't care about his sadness, his bitterness, she only cared about this one sentence, she only cared about this one answer, whether he was sincere or not.

She only knows that the years of waiting and persevering in the future will not be so difficult.

Mo Qingqian looked at Jiang Yeli, tears flashed in her eyes, and even she didn't know whether it was because she was moved, sad or happy.

She only told him: "Jiangye, I also really, really like you very much." ”

He wouldn't know how much she liked him.

During her darkest and most desperate four years, he was the one who kept her going.

The day before he left for France, she hid behind the window and saw him standing downstairs. He stood for a long time, looking at her window, holding a letter in his hand, but he hesitated for a long time, and finally tore it up and threw it in the trash. After he left, she quietly picked up the letter and put it together. There is only one sentence on the letter - Xiao Qingqing, I will be fine, and you must be good too, waiting for me to come back and marry you.

She didn't care why he tore up the letter, she just knew it was what he really wanted to say to her.

So in those difficult years, although she gave up, she gritted her teeth and persevered; So although she wrote him a letter, although he did not reply, although she was a little disappointed, she still did not think about giving up.

Because she felt that he was probably in the same desolate situation as her, she had to persevere, and when he came back, she could just watch her still be fine.

But now it seems that she is the only one struggling in the dark, about to fall into the abyss.

But Mo Qingqian didn't care, he was by her side now, and said to her: "I like it, I really like it", which is enough for her, enough for her to last a lifetime.

How much did she like him? I like it so much that I abandoned her past, abandoned her promises, and hurt the people she didn't want to hurt the most...... I like that as long as he appears, she can forgive all the harm the world has done to her.

Just for one him, for an uncertain future.

This is a gamble, she only has a chance of winning, but she still has to gamble, I don't know whether it is good to live, whether it is not self-aware, no matter what. She is not a gambler, but only happiness requires her to fight. She pressed everything she had on this gamble, and she won, a couple for the rest of her life, and lost, half white and half floating.

That's it.

But she only wanted to win, in a bet about happiness, about her and his happiness, she only wanted to win!

——

As soon as Mo Qingqian walked downstairs, he received a call from Mu Bing'an.

"Shallow, is Bingfan with you now?" The tone was very anxious.

"No, after eating at noon, she left in a hurry." Mo Qing vaguely felt that something was wrong, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

"She's gone! I went to the café to look for her but couldn't find her, and I couldn't get through to her phone, I thought she was with you, but now ......" Through the mobile phone, Mu Bing'an was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, go to the hospital to find it first, maybe she's missing Aunt Huai now?"

After listening to what Mo Qingqian said, Mu Bing'an finally calmed down a little.

"What's wrong?" Will Yeli asked.

"Bingfan seems to be gone."

After hanging up Mu Bing'an's phone, Mo Qingqian also called Mu Bingfan's phone a few times, but he really couldn't get through, so he could only hold the phone tightly and wait for Mu Bing'an's call anxiously.

"It's going to be fine, don't worry." Jiang Yeli held Mo Qingqian's hand and comforted her softly.

Ten minutes later, Mu Bing'an finally called: "She didn't come, what should I do?" The voice was already crying.

Mu Bing'an is very calm when things happen, and only when it comes to Mu Bingfan will he become overwhelmed.

"It's okay, it's okay, you...... Don't be in a hurry ...... first" Actually, Mo Qingqian was already so anxious that he was incoherent.

Jiang Yeli patted Mo Qingqian's back and gave her a comforting look, and in an instant, Mo Qingqian's heart was surprisingly calm.

Jiang Yeli took the phone, turned on the speakerphone, and then said to Mu Bing'an: "Do you know where she usually goes the most?" ”

"She usually stays at home except for cafes and hospitals, and she won't go anywhere!"

"And has she had anything unusual lately?"

Mu Bing'an didn't speak, she has been busy with the school celebration recently, where does she have the energy to notice that Mu Bingfan is abnormal.

"That's right!" Mo Qingqian suddenly thought of something, "She has been holding her mobile phone for the past few days, I don't know what she is doing?" I also glanced at my phone at noon today before leaving. ”

"Yes, yes, I remembered, she seems to have been chatting with someone, as if she was looking for someone named Ji Xun."

Mu Bing'an's words made Mo Qingqian's thoughts instantly clear.

"Bing'an, I may know where she is now, you wait at home to see if she comes home, I'll go find her."

Hanging up the phone, Mo Qingqian ran all the way to the café with Yeli, took out the key from the flower bed, opened the door of the café, and then looked for the book about Fan Fan and Brother Xun in the bookshelf.

Sure enough, no.

This discovery strengthened her thoughts.

At that time, she saw Mu Bingfan's performance very strangely, and now it seems that the book is written by her.

She should go to Ji Xun, it is very likely that it is in the small village where she lived before-Ningyang Village.

After more than three hours of trekking, Mo Qingqian and Jiang Yeli finally came to Ningyang Village.

It was nearly eleven o'clock, and the village was quiet at night.

The wind in the autumn season was getting colder, blowing with a little coolness, Mo Qingqian couldn't help but clench his arms, trying to warm himself up.

Suddenly, my shoulders were heavy, and I was surrounded by a familiar fragrance of acacia flowers, and warmth poured in.

"Be careful." Jiang Yeli said softly, took Mo Qingqian's hand and led her into the darkness.

It's strange, isn't he afraid of the dark?

The two of them searched alley by alley, alley by alley, I don't know how long they searched, and finally found Mu Bingfan, who was sitting by the river in a daze, with the book next to him.

Mo Qingqian knew that the result Mu Bingfan got was definitely not good, it did not meet her expectations, and she was waiting.

She asked Jiang Yeli to wait here, and walked to Mu Bingfan's side alone.

"Why are you sitting here in a daze? I want to be a thinker. Mo Qing smiled lightly and teased Mu Bingfan in a tone that pretended not to care.

"Shallow, have you ever waited for someone?" Mu Bingfan's tone was the loneliness that Mo Qingqian had never heard of, "From the newborn willow buds to the snowy white, from the young and ignorant to the well-versed in the world, from full of hope to ...... Disappointed? ”

Have you waited? She's waited. Everything Mu Bingfan said was what she had experienced, so Mo Qingqian understood her current feelings very well, that kind of bitterness and suffering, which could not be described in words.

It seems that because of the same experience, Mo Qing looked at Mu Bingfan's eyes, in addition to being distressed, there was also a trace of sympathy, she held her hand tightly on Mu Bingfan's hand, but she didn't know what to say. She must have been tired.

"It's been five years, I've been waiting for him for five whole years, and he said he's going to come to my ......"

A person waited in obscurity for five years, a full five years of disappointment, those disappointments were like the rising tide of the sea, and the waves were bigger and bigger each time, slapping her the beach, she was soaked and soaked, she was embarrassed, maybe she had fallen, and she couldn't stand up for a long time, but for the expectation in her heart, she gritted her teeth again and again and stood up, persevered, and fought the waves to the end.

After five years of disappointment, Mo Qingqian really didn't know how Mu Bingfan persevered, she only had a year of waves, and she completely knocked her to the ground.

"I finally found him, but he doesn't remember me......"

Mo Qing's shallow smile froze instantly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"He said I recognized the wrong person, but I know I didn't, and I will never recognize him!"

In the dark, Mo Qingqian couldn't see Mu Bingfan's expression clearly, but she knew that she must be heartbroken, and her eyes were moist.

"I've been waiting for him for so long, why do you think he pretends he doesn't know me? He clearly said that he would come back, did he lie to me? ”

Mo Qingqian didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hug her tightly and let her know that she was still there.

"Is he in trouble? But what can't you tell me? Is there anything I can't spend with him? Is there anything more important than being together? Does he not want me? When he said this, Mu Bingfan finally couldn't control it, and fell on Mo Qingqian's shoulder and cried.

The cry spread far and wide in this silent night, and it should have also reached Ji Xun's heart.

Mu Bingfan said intermittently in Mo Qingqian's ear: "I have been waiting for him for five years, and in this cold world, he is my only reliance, and the only reason why I want to persevere...... I never thought our meeting would be like this......"

She asked Mo Qingqian: "Qianqian, what should I do?" ”

Mo Qingqian still didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, Mu Bingfan didn't need her answer.

She was so tired, physically and mentally exhausted, she fell asleep groggily on Mo Qingqian's shoulder, but the tears were still flowing.

The wind by the lake blew with a moist breath, wetting Mo Qingqian's eyes. She stroked Mu Bingfan's hair, as if she was comforting herself who had been like this.
