In the private room of only two men, He Panshan unhurriedly sent the egg fried rice in the bowl into his mouth, and on the other hand, He Tianran, the porcelain spoon in his hand was repeatedly shaving the golden rice grains in the bowl, he ate two or three bites violently, then paused for a second or two, his cheeks continued to agitate, and his mouth made a subtle and frequent chewing sound, but often swallowed all the food in his mouth without waiting for the chewing to finish.

He Panshan said strangely: "You kid...... Hungry? ”

He Tianran didn't answer, hastily finished eating the egg fried rice in the bowl, he put down the bowl, took a sip of tea, took a sigh of relief, and said:

"I'm going back."

"Wait, let's talk a little more." He Panshan did not release anyone.

He Tianran was puzzled, but he also sat in his position and did not move.

The middle-aged man looked at his son carefully and made sure: "It seems that you are not hungry, you are in a hurry, you are so busy going back to see your two little lovers?" ”

He Tianran was stunned, it was not the first time he had heard others use the word "urgent" to describe his state......

I heard similar words when I went to see Wen Liang's parents that night, and I heard them when I went to the University of Hong Kong to ask Cao Aiqing for a banquet, and now, He Panshan also said this word to him.

These details that are revealed on weekdays are fine once or twice, but everyone who is important to them has repeatedly mentioned them, which makes He Tianran have to take a closer look at his current situation......

"It's ...... Is it obvious? ”

The boy looked up and recalled the fragments, muttering softly.

He Panshan rubbed his chin with his fingers, he really couldn't guess what his son was thinking now, so he didn't answer this question directly, but asked:

"If I hadn't interrupted you just now, how are you going to answer Cao's question?"

He Tianran's head was still tilted up, but his body leaned back weakly in the chair, as if he was thinking, and gave an answer:

"I'll tell you the truth...... But I might ...... I wasn't ready to elaborate on it......"

He Tianran did not hide it, although he had been very distant from He Panshan in the past, it may be as a blood relative, or it may be that they have similar shadows on each other, the boy was confused and cathartic:

"Dad, I really want to love someone sincerely, I don't know if this can be counted as 'knowing how to love', but whether it's Wen Liang or Ai Qing, they are worth it for me to do.

However, I thought it was easy to be 'sincere' with people, and I learned to be true to one's self to avoid the cunning of human nature, but I gradually realized that being honest with people is not sincerity, and it is not sincere to be obedient to people, because before that, I seem to have to go through a lot of suffering and suffering to reach this pure state, which is so difficult......

Wen Liang's memory began to gradually dissipate, which became a knot in He Tianran's heart, but he couldn't let her stay in this reincarnation world forever for his own selfish desires, they were not together, it was Wen Liang's regret and obsession, he wanted to fulfill her wish, he wanted to love her sincerely with all his might......

But to face sincerity, it means that all the pain will be pressed on He Tianran alone......

Is this called "knowing how to love someone"?

He Tianran didn't know, he could only follow suit......

"Son......" He Panshan said in a low voice, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a warm smile: "It's Dad who underestimated you...... You're better than your father, and if you can think like that, you're already knowing how to love someone......"

“…… Is it? ”

"yes...... At least your maturity is not the same sophisticated as ours...... And most importantly, you haven't shrunk your conscience because of growth and hardship, have you? ”

……

……

When He Tianran returned to the original private room, Cao Aiqing was left in the entire room.

The girl's back was so slender and exquisite, her long black hair like a waterfall hanging down her back, as pure and immaculate as He Tianran had peeked at in the high school class, that the boy stood at the door in such a daze, wandering for a few seconds.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

He Tianran deliberately knocked on the open door.

Cao Aiqing turned his head, followed He Tianran's footsteps, and landed on a seat not far from him.

"What about them?"

"I'm full, Wen Liang will accompany your mother to continue listening to the play."

"Then you ......"

"I'm not going, I was going to wait another five minutes and leave, but you came back just in time."

Cao Aiqing glanced at the plain watch on his wrist and responded indifferently.

"Let's go? Ai Qing, I haven't answered the question you just asked me......"

Cao Aiqing shook her head slightly and said, "No need, the person you love has already answered that question for you......" She hesitated slightly, with confusion in her eyes, but she continued: "The cool answer is indeed better than you...... Oh, it's a lot more detailed. ”

"What?" He Tianran was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What did Ah Liang tell you?" ”

"You know go ask her, I don't think I need to help you relay such a thing about how much a woman loves you."

Cao Aiqing returned to normal, and the words of refusal made He Tianran's face embarrassed.

"Then you're ...... now"

"Aunt asked me to say hello to you before leaving, so I stayed here."

“…… I see. ”

Bai Wenyu gave Cao Aiqing and He Tianran time to be alone, but they brought warmth and coolness to show their closeness, this arrangement really allowed the two girls and He Tianran to avoid a lot of embarrassment.

"He Tianran, you invited me over this time, let me see a lot of things, I even understand the saying 'hateful people must have pity', you were born in such a family, it is really not strange to develop that dark and selfish personality in the future, just want me to forgive you, these alone are far from enough, let's talk, what do you want to do?"

Faced with Cao Aiqing's questioning, He Tianran blurted out:

"I need time, Ai Qing, please give me a little more time, I will definitely give you an explanation, then you can use any method to retaliate against me, you can do whatever you ask me to do, I will not have any complaints, but I don't want you to live in hatred and shadows......"

"It's the same sentence again......"

Cao Aiqing held her forehead and pondered for a while, she really couldn't understand why He Tianran kept emphasizing this, as if as long as he was given time, all grievances would disappear.

"He Tianran, what do you mean by asking me to give you time, don't you...... Let me not appear in your world for the time being, and don't disturb your love for Wen Liang? ”

Cao Aiqing quickly understood the meaning of this request and repeated it in simpler and more straightforward words.

He Tianran didn't dare to look at her expression, he hung his head in shame, his brows trembled slightly, and he struggled in his heart, but in the end, he still said in a hoarse voice:

“…… Be. ”

Time passed second by second, and Cao Aiqing's dreamlike whisper sounded in He Tianran's ears:

"I don't understand ......"

The boy raised his head, Cao Aiqing's eyes were intertwined with light and dark, and his expression was very complicated, obviously caught in the confusion of this request.

“…… With the current relationship between you and Wen Liang, your relationship will only get deeper and better, you let me give you time, don't bother you I understand, but what about after I give you time? What can you fix? No matter how much I listen to your request, it seems that you want me to know that you have the intention of repentance, but you are not willing to give up what I hate and despise the most.

What should I say of your request? Sentimental? Or hypocrisy? ”

“……”

He Tianran was silent.

Cao Aiqing, who couldn't wait for an answer, suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly on his face......

A girl with a sweet tooth can show a bitter smile that others can feel when they see it......

"I'm gone......"

She stood up, He Tianran also stood up with a cramped face, only to see Cao Aiqing bent down and took her bag, her long hair hanging down in front of her eyes, and she gently brushed her hand behind her ear.

She looked at him again, standing still, bewildered.

"Don't send me?"

He Tianran's whole body trembled when he heard this, and then nodded heavily:

"Okay."

The two walked through the corridor of the clubhouse in this way, and the gentle singing words in the courtyard at the other end were still in their ears, He Tianran silently followed behind Cao Aiqing until he arrived at the door of the club, and saw that Cao Aiqing did not mean to stop his steps, so he proposed:

"I'll ask Uncle Hu to drive you......"

Cao Aiqing continued to walk, did not look back, only listened to her:

"No, I'll take the subway back."

So, He Tianran still followed behind her.

It's getting dark.

Heavy clouds pressed the sky low, moving like rubbing against the roofs on either side of a stone alley.

When the city is lit up, the clouds are dyed with a colorful halo of red or green, yellow or purple, and they hang above the heads of the man and woman, like a deliberately arranged backdrop for a stage play.

"He Natural ......"

"Huh?"

"What does it feel like to accept another self?"

The boy stopped, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the girl was not waiting for him.

He hurried to follow, but slowed down when he was about to walk side by side with her.

“…… You will see some beautiful visions of your heart and mind, and you will ...... The feeling of a dream come true. ”

"Really......"

When you get out of this alley, you will find a street full of people, and the traffic and people around you will be like a noisy river.

The man and woman traced the river up to the nearest subway station, and both of them tacitly stopped.

"It's okay, let's send it here......"

Cao Aiqing walked up the descending escalator, in front of He Tianran's eyes, her back seemed to turn into a completely submerged sunset at this moment, the faint light was obscured by the sad night, and was slowly, falling towards the horizon, she left He Tianran's world little by little, wrapped in warm light and good memories, leaving his world together.

Will she also see those visions of her heart, and will her dreams come true one day?

Cao Aiqing didn't ask this question after all.

Boy hugging the moon......

The sun must set.

The so-called giving a little time, in Cao Aiqing's view, this time is equivalent to a lifetime, about equal to infinity......

Because in the eyes of people who don't know the truth, in Cao Aiqing's heart after listening to Wen Liang's narration and saying his affection, He Tianran and Wen Liang will not be separated.

Of course, the girl hated He naturally and coolly.

However, she doesn't hate that a lover can eventually get married, because this is also a regret that happened to her......

In fact, no matter what world you are in, what the future holds......

The girl named Cao Aiqing is so kind......

This is the brilliance of humanity carved into her bones, no matter how many times she has experienced wind and rain, it has never been extinguished.
