The most universal reason in the world is to be sick; And the simplest cause of illness is a cold.

In the late autumn of the end of November in Kyoto, I turned on the cold water switch, and my face was expressionless from head to toe, and the next day I was wrapped in the cold, and sure enough, I had a fever. I don't know if it's just in time for the flu season, and I don't even need to deliberately delay taking less medicine for a long time, the virus itself survives tenaciously, and after the fever subsides, the cough is intermittent.

But Song Shinuo alleviated his condition in his statement on the phone. Huo Yizhou thought it was just an innocuous little cold, and was angry at the unknown reason why she didn't talk about "not wanting to go", so he simply decided to hang Song Shinuo for a few days, ignore it, and try not to miss it without disturbing.

And so began an inexplicable cold war.

Until the weekend, Ye He and Lin Nanxin's engagement ceremony came as scheduled, and he finally went to the banquet alone.

There is a lot of hype in the news, and you can easily brush up on the latest news of this wealthy marriage. The venue is set in a high-end hotel owned by the Ye family, which is expensive and luxurious, mainly champagne color, and the combination of flowers and stars is dreamy and romantic.

There were not many relatives of the Ye family present, and Mrs. Ye refused to attend, so only the old man Ye and the two elders of the Lin family witnessed. Lin Nanxin was wearing a gorgeous dress, and although she had a consistent reluctant expression on her face, she was impatient and shy under the atmosphere.

Ye He seems to be the one who is the most involved in the scene.

The sickly pale is well added to the complexion by makeup, he is full of gentle smile, happy, dazzling, true or false are insignificant, he is getting a very bright future step by step, and step by step, erasing the shadow of the boy in school uniform in He'an Lane.

That's how it should be. Song Shinuo looked at the pictures in the news carefully and thought lightly. Ye He worked hard to get ahead, the recognition of the Ye family and the correct name of his identity, he didn't have to hide anymore, and he should be like this with the title of illegitimate son.

She looked at it for a long time, until her eyes were hot, and her eyelashes were wet when she closed her eyes. A sudden pop-up caller ID interrupts her thoughts and brings her back to her senses. It's Huo Yizhou.

There was a little noise on the other end, and there was a vague toast and polite greetings, Huo Yizhou should have gotten up and walked to a corner, and a deep magnetic voice came: "Nuonuo, are you feeling better?" ”

In fact, it was found casually, and in the name of concern, it was able to pull down the reason why the child took the initiative to call. Huo Yizhou hooked the corners of his lips self-deprecatingly, he wanted to dry it for a few days, and then cut it off when Song Shinuo asked him to explain, but it turned out to be left and right, and it was impossible, which really confirmed the sentence "not good". He didn't hold back at first, still thinking that Song Shinuo was losing his temper, and also thought that with a little coaxing, this matter could be turned over.

"My bad, Nono. What you don't want to do, you don't need a reason, I shouldn't force you, I shouldn't ......" he paused, swallowed the last sentence "shouldn't think about taking advantage of you" into his throat, and chuckled, "I shouldn't have been looking for you now." ”

As always, the other end said, "It's okay." Low, slightly dull, with a soft nasal voice, as if trying to suppress something, every word has been sandpapered.

Huo Yizhou keenly heard the abnormality, and his heart was suddenly pinched tightly, so soft that he was a mess, and he was a little remorseful. He was silent for a long time before he asked, thinking that a small cold had become serious: "The cold is not well yet?" Is it uncomfortable?"

“...... If you feel uncomfortable, cry out, it will be much better. ”

As soon as the voice fell, it was like a switch that triggered some catharsis. Song Shinuo lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and cold teardrops rolled down his cheeks, slamming on the back of his hand, and then became more and more intense, turning into silent sobbing.

It turned out that there was a person who was quiet even when he shed tears and wept. She cried silently, tugging at the hearts of the listeners, giving people the urge to run to hug her and comfort her at once, regardless of everything she had left behind. In Huo Yizhou's eyes, impulsiveness has always been equated with recklessness, which means that he will not weigh the pros and cons, cannot distinguish the importance from the serious, and violates the right. But for the first time, he inexplicably came up with the idea of trying it like this.

Huo Yizhou has always been very actionable, he will go as soon as he wants, and he will do it immediately. The car key twirled beautifully at his fingertips, Huo Yizhou walked away quickly, and his voice was gentle and bewitching: "Nuo Nuo, wait for me for a while, I'll come over immediately." ”

There was a long silence on the other end, but it didn't hang up.

Song Shinuo looked at the screen on the call, crying and crying, and suddenly laughed very shallowly.

She figured it out and figured out a very simple truth, just like solving a higher-order equation or studying the problem of code changes, in fact, the principle is popular, but her obsession is too complicated, so she almost came to a dead end. The truth is—

One must not be greedy.

Ye He has his choice, he belongs to the present, so the past and past agreements should never be mentioned, and stay in He'an Lane forever. It was enough for her to know that Ye He had been doing well.

She wished Ye He good health and a bright future, and she wished him what he wanted. And she should also have a new meaning to come to Kyoto.

We all need a fresh start.

Song Shinuo remembered what Dr. Shangguan said during the last psychological counseling session, "Think about it and accept it. Maybe it will end well. 】

-

Downstairs in the evening, the street lights on the campus are bright yellow.

Huo Yizhou's car was parked not far away, he leaned against the car door, holding hot oat milk in his hand, it was a coincidence, Song Shinuo mistakenly thought that he was obsessed with the brand he liked to drink. Passing by, many freshmen who study on their own at night frequently and curiously look sideways-

Song Shinuo walked step by step. She was out of place, and it was rare for her to wonder if when she squatted on the stone steps in front of the bookstore and cried, as long as she raised her head once, everything would be different and different. As soon as she came up with the idea, she quickly rejected it herself.

It won't change. She would still meet Ye He that summer, and wait for a reunion every summer in the future, until he completely transferred to a neighbor in his third year of high school, and then lost contact after the college entrance examination.

But at the same time, she also owes Huo Yizhou a "thank you". Thanks to the oat milk for making her feel kindness for the first time, thanks to the smiling face on the paper that benefited her for life: because of that smile, she imitated Ye He's smile in the mirror and learned to laugh.

Then she met Huo Yizhou again, everything was cause and effect, a closed-loop circle.

His voice was slightly hoarse, and his tone was a little relieved. Song Shinuo's eyes flashed with emotions that Huo Yizhou couldn't read, but he felt very beautiful: "Huo Yizhou." ”

She called him by name: "I promise you." ”

Her breath was light, and she smiled faintly and quietly. Song Shinuo said, "I promise you, you have caught me." ”
