CH.11 Dinner for Four (4)

Cao Aiqing looked at He Tianran suspiciously, because the other party's expression at this time seemed to be the first time he knew himself.

She didn't know that at this time, in He Tianran's heart, the degree of shock was no less than this crossing.

The boy still remembers that Cao Aiqing hates the smell of smoke, the little girl's favorite grandfather died of lung cancer, and later his father smoked at home, she confiscated it once she saw it, and once bumped into his father hiding in the corridor smoking, she was so angry that she cried and made trouble, and shouted that her father was going to die, so she quit her father's smoking addiction.

These things are all small things that the two of them talked about inadvertently in love, but He Tianran remembered them very clearly.

And now, Cao Aiqing in this world asked herself for a cigarette......

Young people may not understand how much pressure and change this society can bring to an adulthood.

But in his mind, seventeen-year-old Cao Aiqing and thirty-year-old Cao Aiqing are two completely different people.

"I remember...... You used to like sweets, but now you're smoking. ”

He Tianran didn't look at her again, not because he didn't dare to face it, but because he felt that it was unnecessary.

Just like he can distinguish between warm and cool at a glance, now, he can also tell in one sentence that the cold woman in front of him is not the Cao Aiqing he likes.

He Tianran, a young man who returned to the camp of reason, has a unique calmness in his body, which makes Cao Aiqing can't help but start to re-examine him.

"Suddenly a little emotional?" Cao Aiqing asked.

He Tianran nodded: "There is a little feeling, I don't have cigarettes, but I can give you this." ”

After that, the boy took out a few candies from his pocket, which he grabbed from the candy that Guo Huai brought just now.

Cao Aiqing couldn't cry or laugh.

However, she still picked one up, tore off the package, and held it in her mouth.

"I feel like you've really gotten a lot younger, is it because you've accepted the warmth?"

"Accept?" He Tianran paused and asked, "You mean that incident in high school?" ”

"Yes, Guo Huai and I both think that you will never be able to get out. Do you remember, when we met at your house last year, you drank too much and said that you would hate Wen Liang for the rest of your life, and the resentful look in your eyes at that time is still fresh in my memory. ”

Cao Aiqing stared at the man in front of him, trying to catch something interesting from his expression.

"Why do I like to talk nonsense when I drink too much...... This problem really needs to be fixed. ”

He Tianran bent his index finger and knocked on the door of his head, he snorted in his mouth, and he tore open a piece of candy and threw it into his mouth.

He secretly thought that his self in this world was really interesting, and whispered curiously:

"Do you think it's easier to love someone for a lifetime, or is it easier to hate someone for a lifetime?"

Cao Aiqing was stunned and couldn't give an answer.

He Tianran also felt that the question he asked was a bit nonsense, he still liked this kind of timely fun, every day when he said he did, this kind of thing that contains philosophical speculation is really not suitable for him to think about at the age of eighteen.

He was about to retreat, but Cao Aiqing suddenly asked a sharp question:

"Have you ever liked the cool?"

"Huh?"

The boy didn't understand for a moment.

"I'm just just curious, not to mention ......" Cao Aiqing's tone carried a hint of banter: "What's more, aren't you living together now?" ”

He Tianran looked back, although he knew that the other party was not asking about himself, but judging from the sentence structure of this sentence and the dialogue just now, it seems that it is impossible for another self to like Wen Liang in Cao Aiqing's eyes.

This feeling of doubt made He Tianran very uncomfortable.

"You think I'm cheating on other people's feelings?" He Tianran didn't want to go around in circles, so he asked bluntly.

"Isn't that what you've been doing before? It's just that now it's just a step further. Cao Aiqing bit the sugar in her mouth and smiled coldly: "Take advantage of Wen Liang's guilt for you and cling to her like a parasite, although I don't agree with your methods, but for an abuser, she should be punished." ”

As these words deepened, He Tianran only felt that Cao Aiqing in front of him was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and at the same time, he was also shocked by the content of these words, and in a trance, he remembered some past events.

It was in September, after being reborn, Wen Liang learned that he was going to Cao Aiqing's phone number, and in the food stall downstairs of the boxing gym, he mentioned a sentence -

"If I say that your future death is related to Cao Aiqing, do you believe me?"

At that time, He Tianran said that he believed it, but he also said that this was another thing that happened in the future and would not affect his current self.

And now, he really has another future.

Thinking about it carefully, Wen Liang's diary, when she had a premonition that she was going to disappear, also mentioned that if she wanted to be with Cao Aiqing in the future, then the current He Tianran was still "a little bit" or something like that.

This futuristic world is like a black-and-white mystery shrouded in layers of thick fog.

Cao Aiqing's words seemed to make He Tianran find a little illusory clue in the fragmented clues.

"You...... All these words, you guessed? ”

He Tianran held up a stiff smile,

Cao Aiqing lowered his head and smiled.

"Ai Qing, natural, eat!"

In the living room, there was a warm shout.

"Here we go!"

Cao Aiqing responded, turning his head to look at He Tianran, who was dazed.

She passed by him with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and gently left a sentence:

"Don't worry, I'll be on your side, because I'm the same kind of person as you."

……

……

At the dinner table, He Tianran watched the other three silently talking and laughing about interesting things about their high school days.

"Oh, no one thought that in the end, we would come together." Guo Huai drank and was a little excited: "Especially when you see Lao He and Wen Daxing, you two are really happy...... Yes, happy enemies, I have long seen that sooner or later you will be together. ”

Wen Liang was a little embarrassed, in the eyes of outsiders, lonely men and widows living in the same room, and calling friends to come to the house as guests, in addition to the intimate relationship between friends and above, it is indeed difficult to find a reasonable reason, and it is normal for the two to misunderstand.

"Yes, you used to always worry that He Tianran would be a bachelor for the rest of his life."

Cao Aiqing added with a smile.

"Oh, Ai Qing, you don't know, he is like a child, and you see him like this now, living like a high school student, the old man said that I didn't believe it, but now I really believe it. But it's good, the two of you have known each other since high school, and finally put down the mustard and come together, and it feels like no one has changed, which is good. ”

Guo Huai looked at He Tianran and Wen Liang sitting together in front of him, and said happily from the bottom of his heart.

Cao Aiqing asked with a smile on the side: "Ah Liang, you may not have thought that a prank at the beginning would contribute to the fate between you, right?" ”

Mentioning this topic, Wen Liang was a little flustered in her heart, and she was about to explain:

"I didn't ...... No, we actually ......."

"Drink."

At this time, He Tianran, who had not spoken, suddenly raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Everyone is happy today, let's have a toast." ”

Guo Huaile raised his glass, and when the two women saw this, they also touched He Tianran.

Among them, Cao Aiqing only took a symbolic sip, while Wen Liang was concerned about He Tiantian's state, thinking that he couldn't accept the fact that Cao Aiqing was going to get married.

The two men drank all the wine in the glass, and Guo Huai asked comfortingly, "When did you two get together?" It's very deep. ”

"You're mistaken, we ......"

"I said I loved her thirteen years ago, but she just forgot."

Wen Liang's words were halfway through, and suddenly, such an earth-shattering sentence appeared in her ear.

She turned her head stupidly and saw the big boy in front of her facing Guo Huai and Cao Aiqing with high spirits:

"I still remember that we had an appointment to go to see the snowy mountains together, but then she missed the appointment, and I was very angry, so I ignored her all the time. I also promised her that I would not lie to her in this life, and now that she finally came back to me, I said to myself, this time, I will definitely protect her and will not let anyone lie to her or bully her. ”

Guo Huai applauded excitedly, all the people present here have known He Tianran for many years, and they all know that the man in front of him has a well-known habit-

What He Tianran said after drinking is always true.

Love and hate, sometimes it may be the distance between a thought.

"Did you really say that...... Love me? ”

Wen Liang, who has not deliberately distinguished the specific relationship between the two He Tiantian, is full of uncertain joy and uneasiness in his voice.

The teenager grinned:

"You just forgot."

For a moment, her cool eyes lit up, and she said to herself in disbelief:

"How could I have forgotten...... How so...... Don't lie to me......"

Suddenly, a pair of large hands held her soft cun, which was trembling slightly because of anxiety.

"I didn't lie to you."

Looking at the two people who gradually warmed up, Guo Huai leaned back in the chair with a smile, he turned his head sideways and said to his lover:

"Hahaha, this greasy and crooked, he really doesn't treat us as outsiders."

"yes, like it was meant to be told to us."

Cao Aiqing smiled, looking at everything that was happening in front of her, an unknown trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.
