Coming from afar, it was a big night with black lights and blind fires. Yang Jie was not invited into the house, but said to go out for a walk, obviously she had something to say, and she didn't want her family to know.

"Good!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, shook his flashlight at the narrow alleyway, and said, "You'd better bring an umbrella, it's going to rain." ”

Yang Jie walked out of the eaves and stretched out her hand to the sky, and did feel the occasional moist coldness coming from her palm, but said: "It is estimated that it will not be big for a while, it's okay, let's go!" ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the alley first.

Jiang Xiaobai followed silently with a flashlight.

Yang Jie walked silently, Jiang Xiaobai also didn't speak, the two kept out of the second alley, and walked to the old street, Yang Jie suddenly stopped, staring at Jiang Xiaobai with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Jiang Xiaobai was suddenly looked at like this, and her heart was a little hairy.

Involuntarily took a step back: "You...... Do? ”

Yang Jie retracted her gaze and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Why didn't you pay attention before, you are still a little handsome!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai was inexplicable by her, and said: "You are a married woman, and I am also a person with a wife, don't talk about this mess, what is the matter with you calling me here?" ”

Yang Jie pursed her lips, "You're just a mess!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai was suddenly a little speechless, he didn't want to fight a lawsuit with Yang Jie.

Yang Jie continued to walk forward, and as she walked, she said, "Jiang Xiaobai, in fact, I don't want to pay attention to you, but I know that this matter has nothing to do with you......

Jiang Xiaobai's footsteps froze for a moment, and he was even more inexplicable, and said, "What is the matter?" Is it related to Li Manman? ”

Yang Jie nodded and said slowly: "When I was packing up her belongings, I found one of her diaries, and I realized that the reason why she went so far away from Shanhua Village was because of you!" ”

Buzz!

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly felt a buzz in his head.

"Because...... I? ”

He asked incredulously.

This was too much of a surprise to him.

Yang Jie turned her head to look at Jiang Xiaobai and said slowly: "Even I don't know, she liked you when she was a teacher, but she knew that you and Lin Jiayin got along, so she hid her liking for you in her heart." ”

Jiang Xiaobai's mouth opened wide in disbelief.

Li Manman actually ...... Like yourself?

He didn't notice it at all.

Yang Jie smiled bitterly: "Manman wrote in his diary:

I like him for real, but I can't stop him from running to someone better than me!

Therefore, I chose to leave, far away.

Then I won't see him, I won't see them! ”

Yang Jie read this passage in her diary and continued: "It is because she likes you and is unwilling to disturb you and Lin Jiayin, so she chose to go to Shanhua Village in Tucheng, she said that she can like you, silently, but she can't love, because love is selfish and possessive." Love is selfless and fulfilling. Both are love, and she chooses the latter. ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a yellow-covered notebook with a red five-pointed star and three words for workbook written in hair.

This is the most popular notebook of the seventies, a little larger than a palm, and the branch lines inside are wide.

Yang Jie handed the notebook to Jiang Xiaobai and said, "This is her diary, if you don't believe what I said, you can read it yourself!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai's head was buzzing, and he reached out to take it, only to feel heavy.

Yang Jie said: "Manman also knows that you don't know that she likes you, so there is nothing wrong with you, but she has come to this point, but she really has something to do with you." I think I should let you know, so I'll give it to you! ”

"Thank you!"

Jiang Xiaobai said.

At this time, he really didn't know what to say.

Even, he didn't know whether to open the diary and look at Li Manman's past.

If he doesn't know anything, he can be as comfortable as ever.

If you know, will you be able to rest of your life with peace of mind?

Jiang Xiaobai was confused.

Yang Jie said: "Now, do you know why I didn't let you go to see Li Manman's parents?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled bitterly: "Have they read Li Manman's diary?" ”

Yang Jie nodded.

"Okay, I'm going home, you should go back early!"

After Yang Jie finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the depths of the old street.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I'll send you!" ”

Yang Jie turned her back to him and waved her hand, "No need, I grew up here, and I can walk in the dark, but she is alone in endless darkness......"

Jiang Xiaobai stood still, and the light of the flashlight shot straight on the bluestone slab at his feet, opening a circle of light.

After a long time, he felt the coldness on his forehead, and he came back to his senses.

The rain is getting heavier!

Jiang Xiaobai was suddenly startled, and took a flashlight to shine on the cover of the notebook, which was splashed with some raindrops, like tears.

He quickly wiped his sleeve, put the small notebook into his arms, and then turned around and walked out of the old street.

He walked slowly, like a dark shadow moving slowly with the light.

The raindrops fell on his forehead, face, and body, and he didn't realize it, and his mind was muddy.

The rain gradually became heavier.

By the time he got into the jeep, his forehead was covered with raindrops, and his shirt was a little wet.

He wiped the rain from his face and started the jeep, but instead of driving immediately, he looked through the windshield at the two intense beams of light in front of the jeep, which pierced the twilight of the long street and stretched into the distance.

That direction is in the east of the town, and Li Manman's former home is in that direction.

Let's go!

Jiang Xiaobai raised his hand to turn on the overhead light in the jeep and took out a warm small notebook from his arms.

Even though the little notebook is years old, it's still clean and neat, with no curl edges.

It can be seen that Li Manman has always kept it very well and carefully.

At this time, the raindrop marks on the dark yellow cover page under the light were particularly dazzling.

This is probably the only damage to the small book.

"What you treasured, I soiled!"

Jiang Xiaobai felt guilty in his heart, and gently wiped the wetness on the cover.

He didn't open the diary immediately, he just held it in his hand, recalling in his mind what he had experienced when he was a teacher.

He remembered the first time he walked into the door of the normal school, the first time he saw the head teacher, the first time he saw Lin Jiayin, the long-distance run he participated in the school sports meeting, the cheating in the final exam, the high and low beds in the dormitory, the slipping out of the school gate over the wall, and the mountain climbing with Lin Jiayin on the weekend......

He remembered many, many things.

Among them, he also thought of some contact with Li Manman, but he couldn't remember when he first saw Li Manman, and he couldn't remember what he said to Li Manman.

He couldn't understand why Li Manman liked him.

With a silent wry smile, Jiang Xiaobai slowly opened the diary in his hand.
