A few minutes later, He Tianran cut the peeled apple into small pieces and put it in the fruit bowl, and then handed it to Wang Ma on the hospital bed very filtily.

Wang Zhaodi picked up a piece of food with relish, her eyes were smiling, the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were full of joy, she teased the two young people in front of her who had just confessed their relationship for the old disrespect, and said:

"You two don't pretend to be kind in front of me in order to deliberately coax me, say okay and try, then we really have to try it, right, come on, Xiao Tiantian, you feed someone Ai Qing a piece of apple and I'll take a look, come."

The atmosphere in the hospital room suddenly became delicate......

He Tianran said awkwardly: "Count...... Forget it, Mom Wang, how embarrassing is this......"

"What's the matter, you're just lying to me, aren't you?"

"No ......"

"You've been friends for three years, why are you talking about it now, but you're scared? Little Nature, you have to take the initiative, do you know? Quick~"

Wang's mother urged as if coaxing two children to interact, what apple was knocked in her mouth, and it was clearly CP.

He Tianran swallowed his saliva, and now any excuse is powerless, he glanced at Cao Aiqing's situation on the side.

The girl opposite was already full of red glow, her forehead was slightly sweaty, and the broken hair on the sideburns and some fine fluff were attached to the skin.

Under the fierce gaze of the elders, the man picked up a piece of fruit flesh and slowly stretched out his hand, the girl was alarmed by it, her neck was raised, like a swan stretching her neck, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her soft lips slowly opened, as if she was hesitating, and when the flesh was getting closer and closer, she also made a decision like an unavoidable one, took out the courage to drink to quench her thirst, closed her eyes, and carefully took the flesh into her mouth......

He Tianran never dreamed that he and Cao Aiqing would have such an ambiguous interaction since they broke up......

Although he knew that all this was just pretending in front of his relatives and making him safe, after the man withdrew his hand, he still had the illusion of being in a different world......

"Okay, that's right, that's right, naturally you go and open the window for ventilation, it's weird in this ward, it makes our little Ai Qing's face red, hahahaha......"

Wang's mother was full of relief and urged her to narrow her way.

In this way, the two of them stayed in the ward unconsciously for almost an hour, it seemed that with this kind of unconventional move, Cao Aiqing and He Tianran's next interactions were much more natural, Wang Zhaodi held the girl's hand, as if there was an endless topic to talk about, and seeing that this middle-aged woman could be happy, He Tianran would not stop anything.

As the sky darkened, in the voice of Wang Zhaodi's reluctance to come over together next time, the two finally said goodbye and left.

……

……

On the way back to the university town, there was some silence after the critical point was broken between the men and women in the car......

Come to think of it, this pair of two people who have old grudges and have been entangled, in general circumstances, it is almost impossible to let go of their hearts, and the way to get them back together is that there is only one situation, that is, the two must face some heavier things together, and use this heaviness to suppress the hatred and love between each other.

And death is undoubtedly the heaviest thing in this world......

Coincidentally, the only family member who is partial to He Tianran is hovering on the edge of this line, so even if Cao Aiqing is unwilling today, as long as Wang Zhaodi insists on matchmaking, the man will also say the sentence "Ai Qing, let's try it first this time......"

Fortunately, the girl did not make a mistake in the face of her fragile life.

They are always tacit in such moments.

"Ahem, Ai Qing...... I know we're just a one-hour couple experience card, and now it's time, and I won't think about it much, so you are too, thank you. ”

He Tianran originally wanted to be humorous, but when he said it, it was always embarrassing.

"No, nothing, just ...... Just after you helped me get compensation today...... Some ...... I have for you Well...... You know......"

"Ah...... Understood, understood, just a favor, I get it. ”

Cao Aiqing doesn't speak as neatly as usual now, obviously, after the contradictory relationship they have always maintained has been broken, it is not easy for the two of them to return to the previous state.

In order not to make the atmosphere of the two so embarrassing now, He Tianran turned on the car stereo and made some movement, and the simple guitar and melody accompanied by gentle chanting and shallow singing jumped into the ears.

The night that suddenly fell

The lights have faded away

Yesterday has gone a long way

My window was blurry

……

The car is driving on the highway in the outer ring of the city, the sun has completely set in late autumn and early winter, and the sky is cloudy and blue.

This is a song that is very suitable for playing at this time, Cao Aiqing listened carefully to two sentences, and the highly recognizable restrained voice made her speak:

"Pu Shu?"

He Tianran nodded, looking at the city skyline in front of him:

"Well, the name of this song is the same as Haruki Murakami's book, it's called "Let's Listen to the Wind"."

Perhaps influenced by soothing songs, Cao Aiqing said:

"It's rare to see you listen to Pu Shu...... At least that was the case. ”

"It's also a recent thing, and I somehow became very fond of it, probably with ...... The work of the library is a good match, hahaha. ”

"It's probably a change in mentality."

"Probably so."

In Pu Shu's singing, on the highway on the way home, the two of them could finally chat and say something.

……

Half of the days are gone, how can those dreams be finished

You're still desperately trying to catch up, where is this road going?

The sound of the wind didn't seem to have too many memories, so how to let go of my hand

I'm afraid that you will say that those days that are blown by the wind will tighten my heart in the middle of the night

……

The car stopped at the manual service entrance of the high-speed toll station, and opened the gate after scanning the code, He Tianran was about to release the brakes, and Cao Aiqing on the side suddenly reminded:

"I want a manual invoice."

When the toll collector heard it, he automatically reached out and handed over the invoice of ten yuan, He Tianran took it, and the car started.

He asked, "Isn't the port city now all e-invoices?" How convenient. ”

Cao Aiqing glanced at him: "You haven't installed the ETC in this car, where can I send you the electronic invoice?" ”

"Ah...... Yes, yes, this car has been sitting in the school parking lot for two or three years, and I don't usually drive it much, so I don't bother to get it. ”

He Tianran came back to his senses at this time, this is actually not the real reason, it is mainly a matter of habit, because he used to drive Wen Liang's Highlander to get used to it, and that car has always been going ETC when it is too high-speed, not to mention that he and Wen Liang usually don't need any invoices, so they don't care much.

The man handed over the invoice easily, since Cao Aiqing mentioned it so much, he must have wanted to go over, the girl likes to spend a small amount of money on these details, this kind of invoice came out of her mouth, and there was really no sense of disobedience at all.

He Tianran quipped: "Your radio station won't be reimbursed, right?" ”

Cao Aiqing also subconsciously reminded her just now, but she didn't expect He Tianran to give her the invoice easily, and after taking it, she felt a little embarrassed, and explained unnaturally:

"I gave it to my dad, and he can use it for reimbursement every month......"

"Ah, that's ......"

This familiar behavior reminded He Tianran of the days when he was with Cao Aiqing before, and he still remembered that the girl had a small bag, which was full of ticket stubs and bills left after eating, watching movies, and having fun, she liked to collect these, which was her little habit.

Just like He Tianran used to play console games and like to buy physical plates, although the digital version is convenient, but those physical disks are stacked together, it looks very fulfilling, and the most important thing is that you can sell back blood if you don't play it.

Cao Aiqing has the same thing as him, according to the girl's words, every money has a whereabout, every ticket has a memory, and the most important thing is that he can also reimburse his family, draw lotteries and the like......

However, it may be that he came out in a hurry today, and He Tianran didn't see the small bag of Cao Aiqing's bills in his memory.

"You quarreled with your father like this today...... Doesn't it matter? ”

While recalling, He Tianran heard the girl ask.

The man was silent for a moment, and said lightly:

"Let's calm down for two days, when I heard the news of Wang's mother's hospitalization, I really got up, in fact, there was a better way to deal with it at that time, but the old and new memories overlapped, making it difficult for me to hold myself in that situation......"

Cao Aiqing thought for a while and helped him add:

"But this time it shouldn't be as serious as the original timeline you speculated, and it ended up breaking with the family, right? After all, you are not the wrong party this time, you have not hurt me, you just expressed your dissatisfaction. ”

He Tianran nodded, not wanting to say anything more about this.

Now, the causal relationship between Cao Aiqing and He Tianran University can be said to be very clear, if the cyberbullying incident has affected the fate of Cao Aiqing's life, then the break with the family is the biggest turning point in He Tianran's frustrated life.

Because there is no prank, the man no longer deceives himself and deceives himself to be with his goddess and Guo Huai, and with the blessing of future memory, he also successfully dug out the biggest black hand He Yuanchong who wanted to graft himself, which also changed the death of Wang Ma after experiencing great disappointment, so even if He Tianran completely vented his dissatisfaction with this family now, it is unlikely that he and He Panshan will come to the point of breaking up.

After sorting out these things in his mind, Cao Aiqing recalled the scenes of being bullied, and couldn't help sighing:

"If I had taken a tougher attitude towards Xia Qiao's bullying at the beginning, such as snatching a knife and aiming it directly at her, I guess there wouldn't have been so many things......"

He Tianran was puzzled: "What is the knife?" Didn't Guo Huai and I save you? ”

"I don't know the timeline, is it...... The time the warmth changed you. ”

"That time...... I also saved you with Guo Huai that time. ”

“……！”

When Cao Aiqing heard this, she was immediately shocked, and she looked at the side face of the man driving seriously in disbelief......

He Tianran was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her like this, he glanced at the other party quickly, and said:

"Why are you looking at me like this, it's just that I don't know Guo Huai very well with that timeline."

Cao Aiqing cautiously reminded: "I...... That time I cut my hair with a knife. ”

He Tianran was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized:

"Ah, I remember, I didn't go to the art exam cram school that day, I was looking for you everywhere, so I met Guo Huai, who was scared, he told me your location, and we immediately rushed over to save you, but that time was a little later than this time, when we passed, you were cutting your hair, deterring a few of them."

Wrong!

Cao Aiqing remembered clearly in her mind, that time He Tianran went to cram school and didn't come at all, and after Guo Huai was scared away, she cut off her hair and escaped!

After this, He Tianran began to help her plan revenge.

No matter which timeline this matter is on, there is a world of difference, and it is impossible for He Tianran to make such a mistake......

He's the memory fading...... Or is it changing?

Cao Aiqing now knows that Wen Liang can be freed from this world because his "long-cherished wish" has been satisfied, so if he pushes it to He Tianran's body, he can quickly get an answer......

Although the man has revealed many times that his long-cherished wish is to have a complete home, his parents have divorced, and now the contradiction of this reorganized family has almost cut off the possibility of him completing this long-cherished wish, but just like the inextricable cause and effect between the two, Wang Ma's relatives are still there, and He Tianran has not broken with his father, so ......

Is this part of the fulfillment of He Tianran's long-cherished wish?

After figuring out this amputation, Cao Aiqing's heart gradually became clear......

I really didn't expect that He Tianran, who has been helping Cao Aiqing get rid of the shadow of cyberbullying, was the first to touch his softest place......

Cao Aiqing was silent, she didn't know how much He Tianran had forgotten, and she didn't know whether to remind him of this.

Let him continue to suffer, or let him forget the pain, these seem to be all in the girl's thoughts......

……

"If this continues, will the boy I love so much come back?"

……

Such a sentence inadvertently surged in Cao Aiqing's heart, and many pictures flashed in her mind in an instant......

The back of the one shouting at the sea on Nanzhi Island.

The figure running towards him on the school playground.

The silhouette of the one approaching on the ground in the campus corridor at sunset and dusk.

The reflection of tears in the poolside after breaking up with himself.

……

All kinds of different emotions and different memories are connected together, and they flash quickly in his mind, as if they have become a glimpse of a certain emotion, and Cao Aiqing is in a trance and at a loss......

"Ai Qing, what's wrong with you?"

A light call interrupted the marquee in Cao Aiqing's mind, and those conjectures overlapped one after another while she looked at the man in front of her......

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, by the way, it's natural, you come to see Wang Ma in two days, what are you going to do? ”

Cao Aiqing asked, her eyes slightly tinged with a strange color.

It's just that He Tianran didn't notice it, because he was also thinking about this problem now, he was going to come to the hospital to take care of Wang's mother, and Cao Aiqing shouldn't have any reason to follow him a second time, he said:

"Ah...... Let's just say that you can't come to class, I want to wait for her to get better, and then tell her the truth...... Don't you mind......"

Although this somewhat disappointed the eager gaze of Wang Ma when the two left, a white lie is still a lie after all, and it will not be a long-term solution.

"Hmm...... I won't bother with you about this, just do what you want. ”

"Thank you...... Ai Qing. ”

“…… No. ”

……

Time is crazy, I am obsessed and in a hurry all the way

vaguely sad, too late to forget

Babbling babbling, only waiting for the wind to bury her

Babbling babbling, we were on the road......

……

He said that he wanted to forget who he wanted to forget and who to let die completely.

Maybe this time, it really can.
