The dormitory management of the University of Hong Kong is very humane, the door is usually locked at 11:30 p.m., and students who return late can enter the building through the emergency door through the campus card, which is equivalent to the saying that there is no access control, and the Shuanggang apartment building where He Tianran lives is open 24 hours a day, so the two of them have time to watch the whole movie.

By the time the movie ended, the two walked out of the library, and it was already zero o'clock.

At midnight, the campus of the University of Hong Kong has a different feeling, the street lights on both sides of the campus street have already been lit, and the orange light has dyed the streets in the golden autumn season with a layer of rouge-like red, a trance.

The cool golden breeze blows at night, sweeping the fallen leaves, which are very crispy like sandwich biscuits, and such a breeze can always stir up the good mood of night walkers.

He Tianran and Cao Aiqing walked so unhurriedly, they used to be strangers, and now they can come together again, which can be regarded as the impetus of fate in the dark.

The man suddenly became interested, and suddenly asked, "Ai Qing, apart from Shen Qiuxu at HKU, what other things are black and white in your eyes?" ”

Cao Aiqing said calmly: "This way back to bed is black and white in my eyes. ”

He Tianran paused and stopped, "Why?" ”

The girl continued to walk, leaving him with a back, and then a word floated over and burrowed into He Tianran's ears:

"I was once haunted by those rumors of yours for a long time, and many people looked at me in the wrong way when walking on campus, so in order to avoid those glances, the place I usually go to the most is the library.

I studied architecture for five years, and during these five years, I walked this path back to bed more than a thousand times at night, and it can be said that it witnessed the days and nights when I walked alone throughout the university.

I don't know if it's because this road carries too many memories of me, so it loses color in my eyes, but it doesn't cause me any burden, because I am familiar with every corner of it, the location of every street lamp on this road, when the maple trees on both sides of the street will be red, and when the young leaves will bloom, I know everything, so to speak, I can walk back on this road with my eyes closed. ”

He Tianran froze in place.

He didn't dare to delve into the stories behind the keywords such as "no less than a thousand times", "five years", and "familiar with every corner of it" that appeared in these words, he was just moved by Cao Aiqing, who was now able to retell this past in a calm tone......

At this moment, the man felt that something should be done.

Cao Aiqing, who realized that He Tianran had not stepped forward for a long time, turned his head, as if he could see his thoughts at a glance, and said unceremoniously:

"Why, do you feel guilty when you hear this? That's right to be guilty, but I don't want to listen to any hypocrisy right now, and if you're going to say something like an apology, sorry, then stop it, I've heard enough. ”

He Tianran scratched his head, stepped forward, and asked:

"Listening to this, how do I feel that I can't do anything but apologize in your heart?"

The two walked around again, Cao Aiqing didn't say a word and was supposed to acquiesce to this statement, and the man suddenly grabbed her arm, dragged her to a street lamp, and stood in the middle of the circular light and shadow.

"What are you doing, what are you nervous?!"

Cao Aiqing didn't know why, so he broke free and scolded angrily.

He Tianran touched his chin and said with a smile: "I won't apologize this time, didn't you say that I read so many books, it's useless to read them unwritten?" Just now I combined the situation of the two of us, and I will send you a poem~! ”

"You!"

After Cao Aiqing heard this, he really didn't even know where to start his anger, there were too many slots, it was a big night, and he was dragged awkwardly standing in the middle of the street lamp, just to listen to a poem on your whim?!

The girl gritted her teeth and said viciously: "What is the situation between the two of us, can you make a poem immediately?" ”

"Ahem, listen~"

He Tianran cleared his throat, pretended to be polite, and recited solemnly:

"Girl, you are so beautiful, you should not be alone, I want to turn into fireworks, when you walk at night......"

He suddenly stretched out his weakly held hand, and his five fingers bloomed in front of Cao Aiqing's eyes, and a plosive sound came out of his mouth forcefully:

"Boom~Bang——!!"

The girl was so frightened that her head shrank back, and when she was in a daze, she heard He Tianran say the following in her ear:

"All of a sudden, it's going to blow up in the sky above your head!"

“……”

“……”

"Gone?"

"It's gone!"

He Tianran withdrew his hand, "hehe" a smirk, and there was no embarrassment.

The corners of Cao Aiqing's eyebrows trembled slightly......

And that's ......

What a broken poem.

For Cao Aiqing, who was born in a scholarly family and has been influenced by poetry and articles for a long time, hearing this so-called modern poem is undoubtedly pouring garbage into her ears......

And He Tianran asked cheaply at this time:

"How? Do you feel like your world is a lot brighter all of a sudden? ”

Cao Aiqing stared at him and squeezed out two words from between his teeth:

"Nope! Yes! ”

He Tianran feigned surprise:

"No, the name of my poem is called "Illuminate Your Beauty"!"

“……”

Girl, you are too beautiful to be alone, I want to turn into fireworks, while you walk at night

Boom ~ bang!

All of a sudden, it's going to blow up in the sky above your head!

Title of the poem "Illuminate Your Beauty"

Cao Aiqing silently recited the whole poem again in her heart, she buried her head, pursed her mouth, and clenched her two fists with her hanging arms, only to see her toes suddenly turn around and leave quickly.

Even if there is no one around now, if she stands under the street lamp for one more second, her whole body will be fainted with shame.

He Tianran waited until she walked out of a section and saw that she was no longer indifferent, but her back was impatient, and then he smiled heartily, and then he stepped forward to catch up, deliberately teasing:

"Aiqing, you evaluate it, comment on it."

"Hooligans!"

Cao Aiqing walked forward and responded loudly.

"No, what kind of hooligans are not hooligans, by the way, you look at this trail now, has anything changed?"

“…… No! ”

"Don't mind, it's okay if it doesn't change this time, it's a big deal that I'll walk a few more roads with you, maybe one day you can see the colors again?"

"I don't want it! Scoundrel, get out! ”

"I'll send you back, and send the Buddha to the west."

"He Tianran, you're so annoying, let me do it quietly?!"

"Okay, okay, I won't speak, I'll zip my mouth and I'll send you off behind you."

“……”

"Ai Qing, did you say that we should keep in touch often in the future, and then you tell me in detail, you still see something wrong, I also have an idea in advance, don't you say?

"Congratulations! Sky! Correct! ”

This quiet road, which carries countless gloom and sadness in Cao Aiqing's memory, finally has something more on this night, which makes her feel both strange and warm.
