The young man didn't expect her to look at herself like this, so he couldn't help puffing out his cheeks and said angrily: "Don't underestimate people." ”

"Let's eat first." Seeing his unconvinced appearance, Sang Li secretly shook his head.

After eating, the mulberry carp took the bones and kitchen waste to the back of the cave and buried them, and picked some wild fruits to go back.

The boy took the snack after the meal, and saw her sitting by the fire quietly sharpening the wooden arrows, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her eyes showed happiness.

He had fantasized about such a scene countless times, they were in the same time and space, even if she changed her face, as long as he saw her eyes, he felt happy.

"Little fish."

"Well," Sang Carp replied without raising his head, "What's wrong?" ”

"Have you ever liked someone?" The boy asked in a low voice, as if he felt shy, and his head was about to be buried in the dust.

"Someone you like?" Sang Li's eyes changed slightly, looking at his quail appearance, he couldn't help but laugh, "What are you asking for?" ”

"Just ask," said the young man, in a voice like a mosquito, "is there one?" ”

"Yes." Sang Li's movements stopped, and the figure of someone appeared in her mind, which was an undeniable answer, and she couldn't erase it.

There were.

The boy's body stiffened.

"What kind of person is that?" He tried his best to restrain the sourness in his heart, and asked calmly.

"It's a bit willful," Mulberry continued to sharpen the wooden arrow, "a little annoying." ”

"That's right," the young man's eyes were darkly red, he gritted his teeth, and asked forgedly, "He's so bad, why are you ......?"

"I don't know why," Sang Li shook his head and said with a pale face, "Maybe it's because of the brain pump." ”

The boy was silent for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to be the answer.

"I don't like him anymore, though." Sang Li glanced up at him, his eyes were not shocked, "That's why I said I did." "And not there is.

Because in her mind, it was all in the past.

Even if she hadn't been emotionally drained from the safety pod, she wouldn't have looked back.

"That's right," the boy still lowered his eyes, not letting her see the tears in his eyes, "that person must be very happy to have been liked by you." ”

"Who knows," Sang Li blinked, "maybe he's forgotten about me and found his true happiness." ”

"No," the boy said in a low voice, "I liked you, but I can't like anyone else." ”

"Huh?" Sang Li didn't hear him clearly, "What are you muttering?" ”

"No," the young man raised his hand to cover his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he tried to smile, pretending to be relaxed, "Xiaoyu, thank you for saving me." ”

"It's a gesture." Sang Li put the sharpened wooden arrow aside, "You can live well in the future." ”

"Hmm." The boy was lying on the bed, obviously with a warm tiger skin under him, but he felt cold.

He had a lot of things to say in his heart, he wanted to apologize, he wanted to ask and tell his thoughts, but when the words came to his mouth, there was only one sentence left: "I listen to you." ”

Hearing this, Sang Li didn't speak again, she added firewood to the fire, and looked down at the orange-red flames, without the slightest expression on her face.

Tears slid down the corners of his eyes, the boy never knew that he loved to cry like this, all hopes had come to an end, and all his beautiful illusions were shattered.

Any joy and crying to come back is nothing more than his wishful thinking.

She doesn't love him anymore.

Even if he was soft-hearted and saved him, it was because of his efforts, not preference.

There was no sound in the boy's crying, but this was the saddest thing that happened.

The girl who could understand his mind with just one look was gone.

She was obviously sitting beside her, but it seemed to be at the ends of the world.

After a long time, the fire in the cave dimmed, the young man raised his hand to wipe away his tears, turned his head to look at the mulberry carp, she sat in place, not knowing what she was thinking, her movements have not changed.

"Little fish."

"Huh?" Sang Li's head was raised, and his gaze fell precisely on his face, "What's wrong?" ”

"Is it true that you told me before that you weren't looking for a spouse?"

"Well," Mulberry nodded, "I'm not going to look for it." ”

"Then you ......"

"What?"

"Would you like anyone else?" The young man endured his sadness and stubbornly asked, "Will it still be?" ”

Sang Li was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he asked these questions over and over again, but she still replied seriously, "I don't know." ”

Her life is very long, and she doesn't know when it will end.

Maybe she will die alone, or fall in love again, she can't say it herself.

"If you meet the right one, you maybe."

This sentence hurts more than a lie.

"What's appropriate?"

Sang Li thought about it, and said in a rare and serious way: "Someone who is in love and will not make me feel bored." ”

When the young man heard this, his eyes blinked slowly, and he glanced sideways at her, and that glance was extremely long and serious.

I don't know where the courage came from, he suddenly clenched his fingers and said, "Xiaoyu, can you like me?" I want to be your spouse and live with me, you won't be boring. ”

Sang Li's body stiffened, he didn't expect him to suddenly say this, and met his serious and shining eyes, knowing that he wasn't joking.

She looked at him quietly, and did not immediately agree or refuse, her gaze was very light, as if she was exploring, and it seemed to contain deeper feelings.

"Xiaoyu, you don't have to answer me now, when you think about it, you can answer me whenever you want."

The young man felt inexplicably uneasy, and said anxiously: "I can wait, I can wait for as long as I want!" ”

"I'm sorry," Sang Li, who didn't give him a chance to get away with it, replied very solemnly, "I don't like you." ”

The young man's eyes sank suddenly, as if he had entered eternal night, and his eyes were full of ashes.

"You don't have to wait for the same answer, the answer now is the same as the answer later."

Sang Li stood up quietly, his eyes did not look at him, but at the boundless night sky, "You will meet someone who is really suitable for you in the future, and that person must love you very much." ”

After saying that, she left the cave without looking back.

The back image is a glimpse that disappears into the eyes of the teenager.

He felt a great pain, and his heart seemed to be torn apart by a pair of invisible hands, and the pain was so painful that it suffocated him.

"Mulberry carp ......" The young man covered his chest, knowing that he had lost her again.

However, I still can't let go.

No matter how many times he comes, his choice will never change.

——

Mulberry carp walked out of the cave, did not return to the tribe, but climbed up along the mouth of the cave, all the way to the top of the mountain, the mountain forest fog at night was diffuse, her eyebrows, eyes and clothes were full of moisture, but she did not feel cold, just stood quietly on the top of the mountain for a night.

It wasn't until the dawn first appeared, the silky rays of sunlight passed through the treetops, and the entire mountain forest woke up in an instant, that she went down the mountain unhurriedly to find food.
