Chapter 254: Confession
Xiao Youran didn't know when he lay down on his bed.
She seemed to be asleep and her eyes were closed.
Xu Xiuwen didn't wake her up immediately.
He got up from his chair, slowly walked to the side of the bed, and looked down at Xiao Youran.
Xiao Youran's face is never tired of looking at it.
Xu Xiuwen has been looking at her face for more than ten years, and every time she sees it, she still thinks it looks good.
At this moment, she was asleep, without a trace of expression on her face, calm and serene, like a sleeping fairy.
It has been half a year since he was reborn, and Xu Xiuwen no longer cares about Xiao Youran's behavior of painting cakes in his previous life.
Now in his eyes, Xiao Youran is like a lovely sister.
Xu Xiuwen actually didn't mind taking care of her at school and helping her deal with problems and solve difficulties.
But going further, it is impossible.
He could only hope that Xiao Youran would understand his mind by himself, and then give up unnecessary illusions.
Xu Xiuwen stood on the edge of the bed and watched for a few minutes.
Maybe it was because he couldn't hear the sound of the keyboard, Xiao Youran's long eyelashes shook lightly a few times, and then opened his eyes.
After opening his eyes, the first person he saw was Xu Xiuwen.
Xiao Youran immediately smiled.
Xu Xiuwen saw that she was awake, so he pulled his eyes away in time and said calmly: "Are you awake?" ”
Xiao Youran sat up with her hands on the bed.
She straightened her hair and said softly, "I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep." ”
"It's okay, if you're still sleepy, get more sleep."
Xiao Youran smiled lightly, "I'm not sleepy." ”
After a pause, he asked, "Why don't you continue to codeword?" ”
"When you're tired, get up and move."
Xu Xiuwen said and walked towards the living room.
Seeing this, Xiao Youran immediately followed.
After coming to the living room, Xiao Youran was embarrassed to sit next to him, so she chose to sit next to him.
She sat upright on the sofa, her legs together and leaning against the base of the sofa, her hands on her laps, and she sat elegantly.
Xu Xiuwen's sitting posture is much more casual.
He spread his legs, lay back on the sofa, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and watched.
There are no good-looking TV shows during this time period, and Xu Xiuwen lost interest after watching it after a few glances.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Youran and asked casually, "Do you want to go home?" ”
When Xiao Youran heard this, she was very nervous, and immediately said, "Don't you drive me away, okay?" ”
Xu Xiuwen laughed, "When am I going to drive you away?" ”
Xiao Youran breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and then laughed embarrassedly, "I thought you were going to drive me away." It's not good, I like to be with you, even if you don't say anything, I'm very happy. ”
Xiao Youran's words have come to this, almost no less than a confession, and her intentions have been fully revealed.
Xu Xiuwen knew that as long as he asked her if she wanted to be his girlfriend now, Xiao Youran would never refuse.
But he didn't.
Xu Xiuwen didn't seem to hear it, and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect that I still have this ability, I don't know it myself." If you like it, you can stay. ”
Xiao Youran finally mustered up the courage to say such a straightforward thing.
originally wanted to see if Xiao Xu would express his position, but he didn't seem to hear what he meant.
She was very disappointed.
But again breathed a sigh of relief.
She was also afraid, in case Xu Xiuwen heard it, but rejected her.
That's not what she wanted to see.
Then there was silence.
Xu Xiuwen was silent, and Xiao Youran was also silent.
Only the TV in the living room made a sound.
After a few minutes, Xu Xiuwen suddenly proposed: "It's too boring to stay at home, why don't you go out for a walk and buy something to eat by the way." ”
"Okay." Xiao Youran adjusted her mood.
Hearing that he was going out for a walk, he agreed without the slightest hesitation.
"Then you wait for me, I'll change my clothes."
"Okay, you change slowly, I'm not in a hurry."
Xu Xiuwen turned around and went back to the room, and then changed into a set of clothes suitable for going out. 、
Coming out of the room, he looked at Xiao Youran, who was still sitting quietly on the sofa, and reminded with a smile, "Let's go, Youran." ”
"Uh-huh."
In the cold winter, there are not many pedestrians on the streets.
Xu Xiuwen and Xiao Youran walked silently on the street.
Xu Xiuwen looked around aimlessly.
Xiao Youran's head hung slightly, her eyes kept looking at the ground, and she occasionally glanced up at Xu Xiuwen.
Took a turn.
Before they knew it, the two walked to the gate of the junior high school.
Xu Xiuwen and Xiao Youran both went to junior high school here, so standing at the door, looking at the familiar gate, the two stopped tacitly.
Xiao Youran looked at the familiar door, and scenes from the past appeared in his mind.
At that time, they had a good relationship, Xu Xiuwen followed her every day, shouting "Youran" and "Youran".
She also learned from her parents and called him "Xiao Xu".
At that time, Xu Xiuwen had not yet enlightened, and he probably didn't know what liking was.
But girls are precocious.
Xiao Youran knew that he liked him from that time.
So he touched his thigh in class, often pretended that his brother touched his head in front of others, and held her hand in the afternoon after school on the pretext of sending himself home.
If it weren't for liking him, how could she possibly agree with a guy doing these things to her.
Since junior high school, Xiao Youran has liked Xu Xiuwen.
It was also from that time that she began to like to discipline Xiao Xu, what he was not allowed to do, and what he was asked to do, just like a little wife.
Xiao Youran used to indulge in that kind of careful thinking.
Every time Xu Xiuwen listened to her, she would be secretly happy.
If he doesn't listen, she'll be secretly sad again.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
They have both grown up, but their relationship has grown further and further apart.
It's not as close as it was in junior high school.
Standing in front of the school gate at this time, she suddenly remembered the past, thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh softly.
In junior high school, Xu Xiuwen didn't want to think about it, he was not as sentimental as Xiao Youran.
He was about to leave, but after walking a few steps, he found that Xiao Youran was standing in place and did not follow.
He had no choice but to return to the girl and remind, "Let's go, Youran." ”
Xiao Youran glanced at him, his clear eyes were shining.
She bit her lip and suddenly asked, "Xiao Xu, I want to go back to school to see, can you accompany me?" ”
She didn't know if Xiao Xu would agree, and she was a little nervous.
Xu Xiuwen heard her request, was quiet for a second, and then asked again: "Do you really want to go back and see?" ”
Xiao Youran let out a "hmm" with a serious expression.
Glancing at each other, Xu Xiuwen said, "It's a holiday now, and you shouldn't be able to enter from the main entrance." ”
"What then?"
"I remember, you come with me."
After Xu Xiuwen finished speaking, he walked towards the side of the school.
Coming to a corner, Xu Xiuwen pointed to an osmanthus tree outside the wall and said, "Go over the wall from here and go in." ”
"I won't!"
Xiao Youran said with an embarrassed face.
Xu Xiuwen said patiently: "You first climb to the branch, then step on the branch above, and then put your hands on the wall and climb to it." ”
"Then I'll try."
Xiao Youran did as Xu Xiuwen said and began to climb the tree.
Xu Xiuwen stood below to protect her and prevent her from falling.
Fortunately, the fence was not high, and the height of the branches and branches was just right, so Xiao Youran climbed up without much effort.
She stood on the wall, holding the branch in her hand, and said nervously, "Xiao Xu, what should I do now?" ”
"You wait for me." Xu Xiuwen climbed onto the wall in the same way.
A few steps along the wall, inside the wall, there is also a tree, but there are no branches or branches to step on.
Xu Xiuwen has crawled many times in junior high school, and he already knows how to do it.
He grabbed the trunk of the tree with both hands, then hung his legs on the tree as well, and slid straight down the trunk.
I don't know how many people have been hugged by the tree trunk, the surface is very smooth, and I don't know how to shake my hands at all.
Xu Xiuwen stood on the ground, raised his head and said to Xiao Youran, "Come down like I did just now, don't worry, it's okay."
Xiao Youran followed Xu Xiuwen's example and slid down holding the tree trunk.
After landing on the ground, he shouted very excitedly: "Xiao Xu, I'm down." ”
Xu Xiuwen smiled, "Yes, you're down, do you want to send you a little red flower?" ”
Xiao Youran smiled embarrassedly.
The two of them wandered around the deserted campus.
Revisiting the old place, Xu Xiuwen also missed it for a while.
Xiao Youran next to him was even more emotional.
When he came to the back of the school, Xiao Youran happily pulled him into the grove.
Xiao Youran searched carefully for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xu, why can't you find that tree?" ”
Xu Xiuwen guessed which tree she was looking for.
He looked around, made sense of the terrain, and walked in a certain direction.
Soon he found the location of the tree, "This is the tree, right?" ”
Xiao Youran looked in the direction he pointed, and was not sure if it was this one.
She walked up to the tree, stood on her tiptoes, and tilted her head to search carefully.
Soon.
Xiao Youran shouted in surprise: "I found it, I found it, Xiao Xu, you see it's still there." ”
Xiao Youran pointed to the pattern on the tree trunk above his head, jumping and jumping, his eyes full of smiles.
Xu Xiuwen knew what Xiao Youran was looking for, he looked over and suddenly froze in place.
Xiao Youran also reacted, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
On the trunk of the tree, the names of Xu Xiuwen and Xiao Youran are engraved.
Xu Xiuwen remembered that it was the last day of junior high school graduation, and Xiao Youran pulled him here to leave their names on the tree.
She learned this from her best friend in junior high school.
Xiao Youran was worried that her name would be erased by others in the future.
So she deliberately carved it in a relatively high position.
Because he couldn't reach the heights, Xu Xiuwen also served as a human ladder once.
Xiao Youran sat on his shoulder and carved his name on the trunk with a knife.
He still remembered that it was summer, and Xiao Youran wore a green dress that day.
When she carved words on it, Xu Xiuwen's vision was blocked by the tail of her skirt, and she couldn't see what words she carved.
And at that time, his attention was attracted by the girl's two delicate long legs.
So much so that after the girl carved the words, he didn't even think to take a look.
But at this time, Xu Xiuwen saw it clearly.
Outside the names of the two, there is also a pattern of hearts.
Xu Xiuwen saw it, and Xiao Youran naturally saw it too.
Xiao Youran was dumbfounded all of a sudden, her cheeks were hot, and she didn't know how to explain it.
Xu Xiuwen noticed Xiao Youran's reaction and smiled, "Yo, I didn't find out at the time, so you had a crush on me at that time?" ”
With Xiao Youran's character, she will definitely not admit it at this time.
She should say, "I didn't have a crush on you, someone else added it." ”
Otherwise, Xu Xiuwen wouldn't dare to ridicule her.
What he didn't expect was the result.
After being quiet for a few seconds, Xiao Youran suddenly nodded and said, "Well, I liked you then, and I like you now, I like you so much, Xu Xiuwen." ”
Xiao Youran had no scruples this time and said it bluntly to his face.
Xu Xiuwen was a little flustered by her sudden confession.
Is this still the Xiao Youran he knows?
Xiao Youran, whom he knows, is obviously a thin-skinned girl who likes duplicity.
Even if she likes it, she always doesn't want to admit it.
Facing the situation at this time.
For a moment, he was silent.
Xiao Youran went from being shy when she was found to have a little secret at the beginning, to her confession under excitement, and now to Xu Xiuwen's silent reaction, her heart suddenly cooled.
She has thought about taking the initiative to confess many times, but she has never been able to let go of her figure.
But today she took this opportunity to confess.
What she wanted to see was Xu Xiuwen's inexplicable expression of joy, and he agreed without hesitation.
But she didn't see any of them.
Xu Xiuwen is silent and calm.
There was not a hint of joy on his face.
Xiao Youran's mood instantly fell to the bottom.
Since the last time she was forcibly kissed, Xiao Youran has always thought that Xu Xiuwen also likes her.
If he didn't like her, why did he kiss her?
But since going to college, Xu Xiuwen has changed.
She always reached out to him first, and he was always the first to end the conversation.
Except for a period at the beginning of school, he hardly went to Jiao Tong University to look for her.
What he's been up to, what he's been up to lately, he never takes the initiative to tell her unless she asks.
Including this holiday, Xu Xiuwen didn't come back with her, and he didn't even tell her when he would come back.
Xiao Youran is not a fool.
She also noticed the changes in Xu Xiuwen.
She made a lot of excuses for him, such as that he was busy and that he had his own things to do.
But at this moment, in the face of her confession, Xu Xiuwen chose to be silent.
The excuses she had made for him were like a sharp blade passing through her heart.
It hurts!
But Xiao Youran didn't give up yet.
She still had the last vestiges of illusions.
She bit her lip and looked at Xu Xiuwen stubbornly, she had to wait for an answer.
Even if Xu Xiuwen doesn't like her anymore, she has to listen to him say it in person, so that she is willing to believe it.
Xu Xiuwen really didn't want to have a showdown with Xiao Youran at this time.
But there is no way, it is all said and done, and it must be said.
Everyone's youth is precious.
He already has Cheng Lu, Tang Weiwei, and even his lover An Shishi.
He knows Xiao Youran, she is both generous and stingy.
Her generosity is reflected in the fact that she often shares food items with others, starting from kindergarten, she will share with her classmates the snacks and beautiful stationery prepared for her by Aunt Zhang.
But emotionally, she is a very stingy character, and she can't tolerate other girls in her eyes.
When she was in high school and junior high school, whenever Xu Xiuwen was intimate with girls, she would sulk for several days.
Even when he arrived at college, Xu Xiuwen still remembered the first time he saw Song Siyu, when Xiao Youran bumped into him and left his number, he was angry and sad.
There's absolutely no way she's going to share a boyfriend with other girls!
So it is absolutely impossible for Xu Xiuwen and her.
Since it was impossible, he didn't want to delay any longer.
I was going to have a showdown during the New Year, but it's a pity that I didn't wait for the New Year.
Xu Xiuwen was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "Youran, we can't do it!" ”
Although Xiao Youran had already guessed the answer, she really heard these words.
She was emotionally broken!
Xu Xiuwen lowered his head and thought about how to continue.
A low sobbing sound reached his ears.
Xu Xiuwen only realized something at this time and looked up.
Xiao Youran was already crying, the tears were falling down, and the pear blossoms crying with a flat mouth brought rain.
She sobbed and asked unwillingly, "Why is it impossible?" ”
Xu Xiuwen couldn't bear to look at her appearance at the moment, it was too distressing.
He forced himself to harden his heart and said, "I'm sorry, I'm in love with someone else." ”
"Xu Xiuwen, you obviously like me...... Why don't you like me anymore......? ”
"I'm sorry, it's really impossible for us, you'll find someone who likes you."
After a few seconds of silence.
Xiao Youran suddenly pleaded, "What did I do wrong...... I'm going to change it...... Xiaoxu, will you continue to like me? ”
Xu Xiuwen said ruthlessly: "You're right, I like other girls." ”
"Wow~~"
Xiao Youran cried loudly.
