The question about honesty was a subconscious self-question after He Tianran went through Xue Yong and Bai Tingting.

The price of honesty is sometimes too high for everyone to afford.

Wen Liang's answer was a little unexpected to He Tianran, he thought that the meeting between the two at the beginning of winter last year had made it very clear, but now that he thinks about it, his perspective is inevitably a little narrow and subjective.

After this year, the two of them are now more calm and rational in their attitude towards this matter, which makes the boy can't help but want to take this opportunity to talk openly and honestly, for himself and Ai Qing, and for the sake of a cool future.

He proposed, "Shall we go?" ”

Wen Liang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

So, the two walked along the streetlights in the night, leaving the hustle and bustle of Queen Street, and the silence of the city night came again, and the streetlights reflected their faces in a gentle pale yellow.

Coming out of the 7-Eleven convenience store on the side of the road, He Tianran took two bottles of mineral water, handed one bottle to Wen Liang, and unscrewed the lid of the other bottle and took a sip.

"I knew I should have listened to you and didn't come to Xue Yong, he still has to charge tickets for this night show, 150 really hurts me."

He Tianran talked about his ugly things, trying to ease the atmosphere between the two.

Wen Liang smiled lightly: "He must hate me to death now, right?" If my dad had known that I had driven his students away, he would have beaten me up. ”

He Tianran shook his head, "He won't hate you." ”

"Huh?"

Feeling Wen Liang's inquiring gaze, He Tianran did not tell her what happened after she left, but concealed it:

"I feel it, you were also the goddess that Xue Yongming was in love with before, how could it be so easy to fall."

"I wasn't your goddess before, but now I'm not the same."

He Tianran corrected seriously, "No, my goddess has always been Ai Qing, and this point still has to be made clear." ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Taking advantage of the fact that the atmosphere was not as serious as just now, He Tianran took the opportunity to say: "Wen Liang, let's play a game now, confess the game, in the next conversation, we will tell the truth, you can ask questions casually, how about it?" ”

Wen Liang paused, and was stunned for a moment: "Why did you suddenly say this?" ”

He Tianran turned around and looked at her who was lagging behind, shrugging his shoulders as he walked backwards, "Because I want to help you." ”

"Help me?"

He Tianran laughed loudly:

"yes, because you didn't just say that you don't love me, but you remember to love me, I think it will bother you a lot. Don't forget, your future memories have become a fortune, you are still yourself, what a good capital this is, think about the big heroines in those female frequencies, domineering presidents or film and television fresh meat, let those handsome guys revolve around you It should be your life, instead of pretending to be strong and standing in front of me and saying things like 'remember to love me', which makes me feel like a scumbag in the harem. ”

Wen Liang was angry and funny after hearing this, she gritted her back teeth and said word by word: "Pretend to be strong? ”

"Gee, adjectives, I can't talk too badly about myself, can I? It's not important, the main thing is what I mean, you know? ”

Wen Liang stepped up to keep up with the boy, "So, now the game is on, isn't it?" ”

"As long as you want, of course!" He is naturally fearless.

"Why do you want to help me? I don't want the kind of playful answer I just had. ”

Wen Liang walked up to him, and the two walked side by side.

"Because you once gave me two important things......"

He Tianran recalled:

"One is a sense of worth, the other is a sense of belonging, what kind of person I used to be, you should know very well, and at that time, only you were constantly affirming me, making me feel that I was a worthwhile person, not a useless person, and your love gave me a long-lost sense of belonging, I was the one who was loved, which made me very happy.

At that time, your love made me feel strength and happiness, so I don't want the current you to spend all your strength and happiness to love, this is a state of putting the cart before the horse, so I want to help you, I even named it 'Brother Nature's Kindness', so to speak, is it honest enough? ”

Wen Liang's face was a little hot, she twisted the mineral water bottle with both hands for a long time, and suddenly stretched out her hand and handed it to He Tianran, not angry:

"Can't be opened."

"You come less! You ran two minutes and twenty-one in four hundred obstacles, and now you tell me that you can't unscrew the cap of a water bottle, who are you arrogant to show sister?! ”

He Tianran skimmed the water bottle she handed over and unceremoniously pierced it.

Wen Liang was really angry with him, nodded, glared at him fiercely, twisted his hands vigorously, and suddenly took off the bottle cap, as if to say: "Good boy, you wait!" My sister will play you to death in a while. ”

The girl took a sip of water, pondered for a moment, and asked a tentative question first: "What do you think if I start looking for a boyfriend tomorrow?" ”

"I don't look at it." He Tianran didn't want to say a word.

I almost didn't choke on a sip of water, "Honest answer!" ”

"It's an honest answer, what do you want me to do, you want to find a boyfriend, you can find it, I definitely won't stop you, as soon as I have a family, can I still be a stumbling block for you on the road to happiness?"

Wen Liang's eyes rolled and changed the question: "Then why did you lie to me and say that you failed the list when the list was released on the day of your drama exam?" ”

He Tianran's eyes widened, "I'm a drama major, I didn't lie to you!" ”

"It's boring for you to play like this, He Tianran! That day, the drama and the list of the director major were sent together, and you can tell me that you also took the directing department! ”

Faced with Wen Liang taking the lead in using the game killer phrase "It's boring", the boy could only admit it: "Hey, what was that at that time...... I just think it's okay to be bitten by you? ”

Wen Liang was puzzled for a while, and blurted out, "Why did I respond to you?" ”

He Tianran didn't speak, and after a while, Wen Liang recalled the specific situation of the day, and suddenly realized: "Ah! I remember, you must have seen me call Li Wang, and then you were jealous, right? Are you jealous! ”

It seems that Wen Liang started from the first question, just to prove this thing, He Tianran had no choice but to be caught, and could only say impatiently:

"Yes, yes, yes, if you're jealous, you're jealous."

"And say you're not a scumbag! is still pretending to call Cao Aiqing in front of me! I don't even know what you're showing off! ”

Wen Liang smiled heartily, He Tianran hadn't seen her smile so happily for a long time.

"No, my state at that time must be different from now, and if you change any man, you see that your ex-girlfriend is helping to check the results of a strange man, and she is on the phone, you must feel uncomfortable!" He Tianran argued.

"! He Tianran, we have a good thing to say, it was you who told me that night that you made it clear, and now you are jealous! ”

"What's 'now'? Wen Liang, you can make it clear, that's all about the New Year, okay?! If you want to do this, then I will also have something to say to you, on the first day of the art exam, you came up to pretend to be familiar with me for some reason, didn't you say anything about don't hurt me or something, I was stupid at that time, what are you going to do? ”

Wen Liang said loudly in disbelief: "I'll just come up to say hello to you, big brother, I provoked you by recruiting you, and you still gave me a face at that time!" ”

He Tianran retorted confidently: "Our relationship is to keep a distance, okay! Am I doing anything wrong with doing this? You're the one who misunderstands, okay, just take the day of the meeting, I'll sit on the side, why are you weird? Are you jealous? ”

Wen Liang almost jumped to his feet, "What kind of vinegar am I eating!" I don't like you at all, I just see you sitting there with a grimace, I see that I am upset, no! ”

"Then you're upset, it's upset, just bear with it, in the end, it will hurt the instructor, make the two of us like there is something, so that I have to whisper to coax you today, I'm so tired, I don't even know what I've done wrong!"

"My aunt came that day, can't you!"

“……”

This sentence directly made He Tianran can't be rectified, this is really honest enough, Wen Liang's cheeks flushed, and he stared at He Tianran angrily, and the two of them didn't walk down the aisle, just standing in the middle of the road without any vehicles, and after a while, He Tianran Ai Ai came to say:

“…… Cow beep, there's nothing wrong with Lao Tie...... I lost this round. ”

"Roll !!"

Wen Liang raised his foot and kicked on He Tianran's buttocks, the boy was kicked and jumped, stumbled a few steps in embarrassment, and hurriedly waved his hand and begged for mercy: "Hey, this game is a literary fight, whoever is on top loses!" ”

"I don't think you're helping me, you're obviously angry with me!" Wen Liang said viciously.

"I'm such a straight man, can you still remember liking me, how bad is your vision?" He naturally sneered at each other.

The two raised their hands at the same time and took a sip of water.

"Come on, let's talk to each other about the moments we hate the most and add some bad impressions." He Tianran pondered for a while, deliberately guiding the direction of the topic between the two.

"You speak first!"

"Uh......"

Wen Liang really didn't suffer a little loss, He Tianran thought about it, sighed and said:

"I hate your moment the most...... It was the time I went to the boxing gym with Jiang Xixi to practice boxing, and you came in with dyed yellow hair, beautiful is beautiful, yes, but it really treated me ...... The impression of 'her' has been destroyed a lot, let me tell you, the reason why I don't want to see you is because I want to keep a little more thoughts about 'her', and you don't know what to say to Jiang Xixi that time, which made her mentality explode, you know, I finally came out of the haze at that time! At that time, my impression of you was, what kind of thing is this yellow-haired girl! ”

Wen Liang snorted coldly, "I didn't say anything, it's because you're too sensitive." ”

He Tianran spread his hands, "Yes, yes, it's your turn." ”

Wen Liang was silent for a while, He Tianran looked at her, grinned and asked, "Don't tell me, it's the same thing that happened during the art exam." ”

"It's not."

Wen Liang shook her head, looking down and thinking about the past year, her impression of He Tianran was actually mostly good, because since September, whether she heard it from friends, learned about it from social software, or witnessed it with her own eyes during the art exam, she knew that He Tianran had been working hard for the past year.

The boy has never failed the person he has been thinking about.

Thinking of this, Wen Liang had an answer.

"The moment I hate you the most is the time when you shake your head, look at me with a dark eye, and say 'My moon is gone'."

Wen Liang raised his head, his expression seemed to fall into memory.

He Tianran was stunned and silent.

Just listen to Wen Liang continue:

"At that time, I didn't understand, 'she' is cool, and I am also cool, why is your moon gone? Later, the memory of you woke up in my mind little by little, whether it is the present or the future, I feel that she loves very humblely, this should not be what I should be like if I am warm and cool, I will be generous to like someone, without concealment, frankly to express my love, so, I began to resist this memory, and I began to hate you.

I hate that from you, I thought to myself, don't I deserve my own future? Do I have to be your moon? However, the burning passion that remains in those memories makes it impossible for me to ignore you, and I am grateful for what you said to me that night, and I am glad that you did not treat me as a stand-in for anyone, and since then, I have begun to re-examine our relationship and try to accept these memories, so now, I will remain sober and stand by your side, I am me, not anyone else. ”

Wen Liang was emotional after saying this, but after a few seconds, she sincerely felt a sudden happiness after release.

Suddenly, a light lit up in front of Wen Liang's eyes, and she squinted and turned her head slightly.

It turned out that it was He Tianran who turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and he waved it twice at the moon in the sky.

"What are you doing?"

"It turns out that you hate that sentence so much, but I really didn't think about your feelings at that time, and now, I have found my own way to let go, you really don't have to worry about this, you see......"

He Tianran turned off the flashlight, looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, and muttered to himself, "The moon has always been there, and my thoughts should have been spread a long time ago." ”

"What do you mean?" Wen Liang asked subconsciously.

He Tianran didn't look at her, but still explained with a smile:

"The photons produced by the flashlight can pass through the Earth's atmosphere and enter the universe. From the moment I turned on the flashlight to the moment it turned off, the photons had theoretically flown out of the Earth and would only take two seconds to reach the Moon. ”

He turned around, faced Wen Liang, stretched out his palm, kept paddling and swimming in mid-air, and said cheerfully:

"These photons can continue to travel freely in the air, but they will be absorbed by other substances, if there are lucky photons that are not absorbed, then they can roam in space for ten years, twenty years, I think, no matter where I am in the universe, these photons will always have a one in a billion chance, with my thoughts, passing by the universe where she is located...... But ......"

He Tianran paused, and Wen Liang couldn't help asking, "But what?" ”

"However, even Photon knows that it takes constant flight to find its own home, so why should we keep drawing the ground as a prison and stop moving?"

He Tiantian's tone was gentle, as if he was depicting a fairy tale.

Wen Liang was silent at first after listening, and she wanted to say something with her lips slightly open, but when the words came to her mouth, she always felt that the words did not reach her meaning.

The street at night is very bright, it is September again, the osmanthus planted on both sides of the road quietly opens, and it is cool for a moment as if she saw the continuous and slight explosion of those pollen in the air, and the fragrance of the flowers came to her face with the evening breeze, she sucked greedily, and then spit out a sentence:

He Tianran...... You are really good at comforting people......"

The eyes of the two people collided, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Where did you know that?"

"The directing department tried to test these useless cold knowledge, and I forgot where I saw it."

He Tianran made a shooting motion, and the empty bottle in his hand drew an arc in the air and threw it into the trash can not far away.

"It's not useless, is it...... At least...... At first glance, it sounds quite romantic. ”

"Ha, if you don't feel greasy."

"Actually...... There's a little bit of that. ”

Laughter sounded in the quiet night sky, and under the moonlight, the boy held the back of his head with both hands, and the girl put his hands behind his back, and the two walked aimlessly along the road.

They turned from the street to the alley, and then from the alley into the street, the hustle and bustle returned to tranquility, the tranquility turned to the hustle and bustle, and unconsciously, the two walked under the Demojiang Bridge.

The Demo River is the landmark river and city card of the port city, it flows through the port city from north to south, divides the 12 urban districts such as Jiangxi and Jiangdong of the port city, and finally flows into the sea alone, it is one of the important waterways of the port city, and the two banks of the Demo River are the essence of the entire port city landscape, the lights at night are beautiful and the river surface of the scenery cruise ships complement each other, it is every tourist who comes to the port city, a city attraction that must be visited.

The evening breeze on the river is sultry, He Tianran and Wen Liang walk slowly along the riverside, and occasionally see someone singing live broadcast, they will stop and enjoy it for a while.

This situation is very common in the port city, with the take-off of the Internet celebrity economy in recent years, in addition to tourists, there are many outdoor anchors who take advantage of the city's night view to show their talents.

This kind of anchor actually knows whether there is a team package or the first person to fight alone when you look at the equipment, and the one with the team packaging is often a female appearance anchor, not to mention the exquisite makeup, there are lights around, and the sound card must be connected to sing a song, and finally connected to the live broadcast room of the mobile phone.

As for those who fight alone, most of them are a mobile phone and a microphone, with a mobile phone holder, and they are alive.

I learned to be alone all day long, and not to be lost. Just let me get drunk, singing, and amusing myself.

The singing young lady's voice is still very sweet, and her expression during the performance is also very cute, which makes He Tianran inexplicably think of Jiang Xixi.

He glanced at the small sign standing on the side, which indicated the name of the account and the number of the live broadcast room, and in addition to inviting passers-by to pay attention, he also wrote the theme of their live broadcast today - amateur singing challenge.

He Tianran took out his mobile phone, opened a certain sound and searched for it, but he didn't expect that this young lady was still a small Internet celebrity, and there were nearly 10,000 people online in the live broadcast room.

At this time, the challenge with the anchor was a passing big brother, who shouted a song "Spring in the North" at the top of his throat, and the remaining two of the ten lyrics were out of tune, and the effect was instantly full, and the live broadcast room was swiped by a group of haha monsters.

After singing, the anchor's young lady chatted with the eldest brother for a few words to end the challenge, and then she began to interact with the audience in the live broadcast room.

To put it bluntly, this thing is a comparison, how bad passers-by sing it shows how well the anchor sings, plus the appearance is pleasing, and the live broadcast room is naturally a constant gift.

He Tianran was interested, he rubbed Wen Liang with his elbow, and whispered, "Why don't you go up and sing a song too?" ”

Wen Liang glanced at him, "Why?" ”

The boy was very confused, "The game is not over yet, I must also be honest about my inner thoughts, of course, you don't want to say no." ”

Wen Liang blinked, "You want to hear me sing?" ”

He Tianran nodded, "I want to hear you sing." ”

Wen Liang handed the remaining half bottle of mineral water to He Tianran, and she asked with a hesitant expression, "...... So, what do you want to hear? ”

The boy took the water and said with a smile, "Sing a song and give it to yourself." ”

“…… Well. ”

The live broadcast director who was looking for someone to challenge also discovered the location of the two, and when he saw Wen Liang nodding at him intentionally, he was overjoyed, and beckoned the anchor who was still chatting to enter the next challenge.

Wen Liang walked out of the crowd and came to the anchor.

The anchor stared at Wen Liang's face for a few seconds, and then reacted, "Wow, what a beautiful young lady, blessed are the audience babies, is the young lady here alone?" ”

“…… No. ”

Wen Liang replied briefly, and the live broadcast director Chao He naturally pointed, and the anchor understood, jokingly asked:

"What's the relationship between that boy standing there and the young lady?"

Wen Liang looked at He Tianran, pressed the hat on his head, and replied:

"Ex-boyfriend."

He Tianran didn't expect that this live broadcast could pull himself, but he really couldn't laugh or cry at Wen Liang's answer, in this case, he didn't have to be so honest!

"Wow...... Wow~"

It is estimated that the anchor didn't expect to get such an answer, she was a little embarrassed, but this effect made the audience in the live broadcast room angry-

"Shopping with your ex-boyfriend? There's a situation."

"Can you break up if the young lady is so beautiful? Fake, right...... Let me see if her ex-boyfriend is blind!"

"I'm afraid this isn't the script~ Your team is going to push newcomers again? But this young lady is really good, I feel like I can be very popular!"

"Wife, I'm single, I'm here to comfort you~~Mo Da~~ How many accounts does she have?"

「……」

The anchor quickly calmed down and asked with a smile: "Then young lady, what do you want to sing?" ”

"I ......" Wen Liang stopped talking, she glanced at He Tianran standing in the crowd again, and then made up her mind and said: "I want to sing a song "Time Torrent". ”

"Oh, it's a popular song on the platform recently, don't be nervous, young lady, the babies in the live broadcast room should also remember to cheer up the young lady and give a little red heart!"

The anchor passed the microphone over the warmth, and the stereo on the side slowly released the accompaniment, and the girl completely lowered her hat to cover her eyes, held the microphone in both hands, and sang in a low voice-

I've rehearsed a thousand reunions, but you've always stood in your dreams and couldn't touch them

It's too difficult to turn back, so you can only keep walking, and two people have been lost in the sea of people

Obviously unwilling, obviously still waiting

But I want to pretend that it doesn't hurt for a long time

Obviously looking at it, you are also excited again

……

The surrounding crowd was gradually attracted, and when they heard this familiar song again, He Tianran's heart surged with thousands of thoughts, and some dream fragments that should have been lost flashed in his mind, it was a woman who couldn't see her face clearly, and said to herself stupidly:

"I like all of you."

……

The better the expectations, the easier it is to be disappointed

It's easier to admit that I'm not worthy

There are some love and jealousy that only you can understand

……

People were immersed in this kraken-like singing, the warmth and dazzling under the lights were dazzling, but He Tianran in the crowd had a splitting headache, he felt that every nerve in his body was swollen, and with the gradually high-pitched singing in his ears, he kept beating his forehead, in a vain attempt to throw some unclear conversations out of his mind-

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

"He Tianran in this world is as stubborn as a weed, and he is used to disguising himself as if he is alive and well in front of outsiders, but as long as he is loved, he immediately appears in his original form. Although he is just a weed, this does not prevent him from wanting to give you a little more out of his already barren life. ”

"Then the love he took out, is it for you?"

"If I had gone to your world, I would have a HAPPY END with you, don't you think?"

"You have to wait for me to come back, do you hear me?"

……

In the torrent of time, this love is so small that it dissipates as soon as you let go

I also want to smile freely and say that life is so long, love and you are not important

Maybe meet another person who makes a similar promise, and I know I can do it

In the torrent of time, this love is so small that it dissipates as soon as you let go

Your heart drifts into the distance, I can't keep it, sour and bitter are better than hate

All the flavors were tasted at night, and the smile continued to be kept at dawn, and I knew I could do it

……

The lingering singing echoed on the banks of the Demo River, and when the song ended, Wen Liang raised her head and looked at the crowd again, and the people responded with the warmest applause for her singing.

It's just that the person is gone.

He's gone.

He was gone again.

Wen Liang stuffed the microphone into the hand of the anchor who was still distracted, she squeezed through the crowd in a hurry, stumbling along the riverside to find, passers-by cast strange glances at her, and the girl also looked at these faces one by one, but none of them were what she wanted.

The road by the river is very long, she doesn't know how long she has been looking for it, and finally the footsteps slowly stopped, the lights of the city are still brilliant, and the bustling riverside of the ink is full of people, and the girl is in it, at a loss.

When she looked up, the moon was still there.

As soon as she turned her head, he didn't follow.

What are you expecting? Isn't that the best outcome?

Honesty is expensive, but it is a key that can open the door to each other's hearts.

Cool honesty is to remember to love him.

And He Tianran's honesty is not to love her.

The only difference is that Wen Liang is honest with himself, while He Tianran is honest with love.

In any case, they gave each other the utmost respect.

Perhaps, this is the fate of two people, whether it is fate or fate, they always meet and reunite at the wrong time.

For the first time, the boy didn't know how to love and wanted to cherish it, but it was too late.

The second time, the two of them were the best, but they were narrow in time and space, and they were not allowed to be together.

Now for the third time, they finally opened their hearts and faced each other squarely, but the boy already had his own destiny.

Wen Liang walked to the riverside and stood in a daze, her face not knowing whether to smile or hide her face and cry, both emotions.

"It's clear that you made me sing......"

She whispered, her eyes finally reddening, but she didn't cry.

Alas......
