About a week or so passed after the Tanabata date.

After experiencing the Qixi date, Lin Youxi has not been conscious for the past week.

Never.

Mei Fang, who was difficult to predict Lin Youxi's behavior, now needs to take Lin Youxi with her side at all times, otherwise she will easily do irreparable things, so it is difficult for Mei Fang to close her eyes at night with peace of mind.

In order to take care of Lin Youxi's great physical and mental torture, the current Mei Fang is as muddy as Lin Youxi, I don't know day and night, and I rely on a trace of obsession to protect Lin Youxi.

So much so that when Zhang Ming made a special trip to visit Mei Fang, he was also taken aback by his haggard face.

Zhang Ming performed acupuncture and moxibustion therapy for Mei Fang and helped him decoction to take it.

"This is really the last time I'll help you, and I've said everything I need to say...... What you have to do now is to control your emotions, and if you are in a hurry, unless someone around you can immediately start first aid, you really can't be saved. ”

Mei Fang drank the medicine while responding softly to Zhang Ming's words without saying a word, and now it seemed difficult for him to even speak loudly.

But that's it, he will also look at Lin Youxi who is asleep in the bedroom from time to time, for fear that she will not be by her side when she wakes up.

Zhang Ming looked at Mei Fang's haggard face, then sighed and patted Mei Fang's shoulder gently, "Brother, take care." ”

"Thank you, brother."

Soon after sending Zhang Ming away, Mei Fang received a courier with a jade bracelet in the courier, Mei Fang and her mother sent a message that the bracelet had arrived, and made a video call to Xiaoxia, but Mei Fang refused.

The video call was replaced by a voice call.

"Alfon...... How are you doing? I haven't called home for so long, I'm worried about you......"

Mei Fang took a breath, trying to be more energetic in his words, "It's okay, I'm fine." ”

"Don't you really need us to help take care of it? Last time you said you were very sick......"

"I can take care of it alone, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to find a job now, just wait for her depression to pass."

I can't let my mother see Youxi and herself like this.

She'll let herself get out of hers.

Mei Fang paused, and then said softly:

"Mom, when Youxi and I finish the last work here, and when she gets better, we will go back to the wedding before the year and get the certificate tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, what are you doing on such a bad day to get a certificate? ”

"Originally, I wanted to get a certificate for Qixi Festival, but there were too many people queuing up that day, and they all needed to make an appointment, and it was a little more troublesome in big cities...... I can only pick a time when no one is going to compare-"

"That's a separate day! If you go to get a certificate on the Midyear Festival, everyone in the Civil Z Bureau will think that you have a sick brain! Hurry up and change the contract. ”

Mei Fang was scolded by Xiang Xiaoxia.

"Okay, okay, I'll just change the date...... Let's not talk about it yet, I'm going to get busy. ”

"Eh, you also let me and Youxi-"

Mei Fang hurriedly hung up the phone without waiting for her mother to finish speaking.

Then, Mei coughed violently.

He could only hold on to this extent.

Call......

Mei Fang grabbed the green jade bracelet with a sense of age in her hand, and after resting for a while, she took the jade bracelet to Lin Youxi's bed and carefully put it on for her.

Lin Youxi's arm is very slender, but fortunately, the jade bracelet is not big, and it will barely fall off from his arm.

Mei Fang's movement of wearing a jade bracelet on Lin Youxi made Lin Youxi wake up from his sleep.

She first shook her body, and then grabbed Mei Fang's hand tightly.

The eyes that opened were still empty, and I didn't know if I could notice Mei Fang's presence in my out-of-focus vision.

However, the temperature transmitted by Mei Fang's palm made her feel very relieved.

"Good morning...... Good afternoon? Or good night. ”

Mei Fang smiled at Lin Youxi, watching Lin Youxi slowly raise the arm wearing the bracelet.

"This is what my mother promised to give you before, and it was left to my mother by my grandmother, and now it is also left to you."

Lin Youxi did not respond to Mei Fang's words.

"Yes...... Something to discuss with you? ”

Lin Youxi looked up at Mei Fang.

"We haven't been out for a week, so let's go out together tomorrow, okay?"

Mei Fang's eyes were full of pleading and anticipation.

So Lin Youxi nodded lightly.

"Are you going to get the permit?"

This is a sign that Lin Youxi's consciousness is slightly more sober.

This also made Mei Fang very happy, "Yes, yes...... Going out for a walk or something—"

"Okay."

Mei Fang, who was happy after just responding a few words, hugged Lin Youxi tightly.

And Lin Youxi is no longer hugged tightly with Mei Fang like when he was in love, but weakly drooped his arms.

There was no sparkle in her eyes.

After taking the decoction prepared by Zhang Ming, Mei Fang slept uncontrollably that night.

When he woke up early the next morning, Lin Youxi was no longer at the bedside.

The absence of the person next to the pillow frightened Mei Fang, he sat up and staggered out of bed to find his lover, and then saw Lin Youxi putting on makeup in front of the dressing mirror.

"Wake up."

Lin Youxi pinned his earrings to the mirror, and smiled sweetly at Mei Fang in the mirror: "Go wash up when you wake up, I made breakfast for you...... I haven't cooked in a long time, and I don't know how the craft is now......"

Mei Fang stood behind Lin Youxi, trembling and holding Lin Youxi's shoulder.

"So, you're ......"

Lin Youxi put Mei Fang in his hand and said softly:

"It should be the end of the depression period, this time of hard work-"

Mei Fang hugged Lin Youxi tightly behind her.

"What are you doing with such a tight hug......"

"Because it's a dream...... Does it hurt you to be held like this? ”

"No, no...... Compared to Ah Fang's pain, it's really nothing ......"

"I don't believe it, you pinch me and try."

"No, I can't bear it."

"Just pinch me, pinch me—" Mei Fang softly coaxed Lin Youxi, letting her face herself, caressing her smooth and round cheeks.

"Really...... Want to pinch you? ”

"Uh-huh! I love being tortured by you! ”

"Does it hurt?"

Mei Fang shook his head, "It doesn't hurt, work harder." ”

"And now?"

Mei Fang shook his head, "...... Still doesn't hurt. ”

"But I'm already pushing hard......"

Lin Youxi tilted his head and said, "We, we can't really be dreaming, right?" ”

"It's so real, how can it be a dream, hey, hey-"

Mei Fang trembled and stepped forward to hug Lin Youxi again.

She dissipated like smoke and dust.

Mei Fang opened his eyes suddenly.

His lover was in his arms.

But it's not the bright-eyed look in the dream.

In reality, she has been staring at the wall in a daze.

After noticing Mei Fang's tears, Lin Youxi slowly stretched out his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Mei Fang's eyes.

Mei Fang got up slowly, wiped his tears, and then said to Lin Youxi: "You sleep for a while first, I'll prepare breakfast for you." ”

"Hmm."

Lin Youxi nodded.

Mei Fang made breakfast for Lin Youxi, waited for Lin Youxi to wash, ate breakfast with her, and helped her dress up.

But when it was time to go out, Lin Youxi suddenly became unhappy, and he had to stay motionless on the sofa to live or die, no matter how he dragged it.

"Didn't we say yes yesterday...... If you go to get a certificate together, go out for a walk by the way? ”

"Don't."

Lin Youxi shook his head, "I don't want to marry you anymore." ”

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi said a lot of persuasive words, but Lin Youxi was very stubborn and didn't pay attention to Mei Fang.

"Good...... If you don't want to go out, then we won't go......"

Mei Fang accompanied Lin Youxi to watch TV for a while, and Lin Youxi suddenly said that he wanted to play games.

"What do you want to play? Is it that again? ”

Lin Youxi nodded, "Well...... "White Plum Time" is good." ”

"Do you want to play again?"

The only way for Lin Youxi to pass the time at home is to keep playing "White Plum Time", which is also the only time when she will have some brilliance in her eyes.

But once she finishes playing or Mei Fang talks to her, she will become sluggish again.

Mei Fang held Lin Youxi in his arms like this, watched her start playing from the new file, and watched her talk to the fate in the game over and over again.

Looking at Xia Yuan, who smiled innocently in the game, and looking at Lin Youxi, who also showed rich emotions with Xia Yuan in the game, Mei Fang suddenly couldn't help but have a sour nose.

It's that I'm too conceited.

Maybe...... From beginning to end, I wasn't the one who could save you.

I can't save her.

If fate was there, Youxi would definitely not be reduced to what it is today-

I could only watch helplessly as she fell into the abyss.

Even if she tried her best, she couldn't stop the trend of destruction.

Mei Fang's body trembled slightly.

Lin Youxi seemed to be unaware.

After clearing the customs again, Lin Youxi still chose a happy ending with Xia Yuan.

"Why do you have to choose this route as the ending every time? Once in a while, you can try to be in love with yourself. ”

"Because I don't like it."

"I hate myself, more than anyone else."

Lin Youxi said softly, "Everyone hates me, and everyone hopes that I don't exist in this world." ”

"Hey...... How is that possible, I like you. ”

"That's why you're the way you are."

Lin Youxi put down the handle and got up from Mei Fang. "I'd rather you hate me."

In the face of the extremely hurtful words just now, she seemed to be unaware, but said this to Mei Fang by herself.

"Ah Fang, when I was playing just now, I suddenly saw that I wanted to eat potato chips, which is the kind of fried potato chips in my hometown......"

"Let's go out and buy it together, right?"

"Didn't want to go out. You can buy it for me, or order takeout. ”

"Do you think I'll leave you alone at home?"

Mei Fang smiled, "And this takeaway is not easy to find, it is only available to street stalls." ”

"That'...... It's okay to go out, but we don't go to get the permit. ”

Lin Youxi said softly, "Let's not get married, it's better for you to find another one when I die, so that you are not a second marriage, and it is good for you." ”

"Don't curse yourself like that, you! Aren't we going to destroy it together......"

Mei Fang's smile was a little bitter, "What, are you thinking about abandoning me again now?" ”

"Because I'm a capricious bad woman......" Lin Youxi laughed heartlessly, "You chose it." ”

"Forget it, don't talk about this."

Mei Fang said softly to Lin Youxi, "Okay, let's go out and find potato chips to eat, shall we?" ”

"Hmmm......"

It seems that because it is the Midyear Festival, it is a weekend afternoon, and the streets seem to have become much more deserted.

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi walked along the river bank for a long time, and suddenly found a small alley that seemed to have never been visited before.

"There's a snack street over there, when was it built?" Lin Youxi tilted his head curiously.

"I don't know...... But we haven't been out for a long time, and it's normal for things to change outside. ”

Mei Fang took Lin Youxi's hand and said, "Why don't we go inside and find out what to eat?" ”

"I just want to eat potato chips."

"Good...... I'll find it for you. ”

Now Lin Youxi seems to be more conscious.

Although the speech is still hurtful, at least it is no longer cold and violent.

It's good already......

There is a volunteer service booth at the entrance of the snack alley, but there is no doctor on the stall, and there are many empty snack boxes on the stall, which looks like the doctor in charge of the free clinic is a super foodie.

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi entered from the laneway, and there were gradually more passers-by inside, and the shouting and selling along the street were endless.

"It's a bit like our hometown, do you remember, the main street in Baimei County?"

"Well, remember......"

"When I was a child, I was often taken out to play by fate, and I didn't have any money at that time, so fate invited me to eat, especially the small potato chips."

"Do you just remember shopping with Yuanyuan?"

Mei Fang frowned and pretended to be aggrieved, "We also went together last year." ”

"Really?"

Lin Youxi patted his head, "I only remember what happened when I was with Yuanyuan...... Ahhh ”

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi went to buy a potato chip and ate it.

"Wow, so-so."

Lin Youxi said with disgust, "I feel that it is not as delicious as my hometown." ”

"Then we'll go home and eat in a while."

"Forget it, I can't go." Lin Youxi rejected Mei Fang's proposal, "Even if I go back to my hometown, it will definitely not be as delicious as when I was a child." ”

"Then we can cook and eat together, and it won't be troublesome anyway-"

At this time, Lin Youxi suddenly interrupted Mei Fang's words.

"Mei Fang."

Together, the two walked to an open area of the street, on the edge of the embankment on the riverbank.

Lin Youxi held his head high and looked at Mei Fang with a smile.

"Do you hate me?"

Mei Fang shook his head, "No." ”

"I hate you."

I don't know if I didn't expect Lin Youxi to say this, or if I didn't think about how to respond, Mei Fang was stunned for a moment, and could only purse her lips and respond with a smile.

"Hmmm......"

"I hate you to death."

"I'm sorry."

"I really regret meeting you."

“……”

"If only I hadn't met you."

"Hmm......"

"If I hadn't met you, I'd be better off than I am now."

Lin Youxi looked up at the slanting sun that had sunk in the west.

The remnant sun is like blood, infinitely elongating the figures of the two.

"If I hadn't met you, at least I wouldn't have died and lived like I have now, but I would have had fun in time...... Be happy every day, live every day, and go to the hospital to go crazy when you get sick-"

Lin Youxi said as he walked with his hands behind his back, "Then suddenly one day, I will be found suddenly dead in my rental house, or dead in a hospital bed, and then there is no need to erect a tombstone for me, and no one will come to see me anyway." My ashes were burned and scattered into the sea, well—that's fine, don't you think? ”

Lin Youxi had been separated from Mei Fang for a long distance at this time, and when she turned her back to look at Mei Fang, she found that his eyes were already red, and tears kept sliding down his cheeks.

He cried very sadly.

It looks very sad.

But he looks very sad, and he will try not to make a crying sound.

Crying patiently is Mei Fang's last stubbornness as a man.

At the same time, he also remembered Zhang Ming's words before leaving, trying to calm his emotions.

"So, do you regret it now?"

"I'm sober when I say this."

"Our relationship has reached this point, there is no need to hide your thoughts......

Lin Youxi seemed to be enjoying the pleasure of torturing Mei Fang, she did not step forward to appease, but quietly watched Mei Fang shed tears, and then watched Mei Fang wipe away her tears and continue to be stubborn:

"No...... What do you regret ......"

Mei Fang sniffed and smiled, "What did I choose......

"I'm the type who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, you know."

"I think it's a beautiful thing that we met."

"At least, that's the ...... for me"

"Before I met you, I lived alone in Pengcheng."

"I've always felt like I'm never going to be able to meet someone I like in my life."

"Until I met you at that convenience store."

"It's painful now, but I'll remember our happiness."

"For a lifetime...... No, you'll remember it for a lifetime...... It's true. ”

Mei Fang choked up as he spoke, his voice was not loud, and he didn't know if Lin Youxi heard it clearly.

But it doesn't matter if she hears it or not.

Lin Youxi is no longer the girl who will be moved by Mei Fang.

While Mei Fang was crying and telling, Lin Youxi had already stepped forward and stood in front of Mei Fang.

Her expression was relatively calm and serene, with a faint smile on her face.

She stretched out her hand to Mei Fang, hooked Mei Fang's palm, and put his hand on her heart.

"Okay, don't be upset, it's hard to come out to play, let's find a place to rest, shall we?"

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang intertwined their fingers, and he led Mei Fang out of the alley and sat down on a bench on the embankment along the coast.

As the sun sets, there are more and more people on the embankment, and many families come for a walk holding hands after dinner.

When the children saw Mei Fang, who was still stained with tears, they would stop and watch curiously, and then they were urged to leave by the adults.

Lin Youxi leaned on Mei Fang's shoulder, quietly watching the afterglow of the sunset fall on them.

Neither of them spoke, and neither of them spoke first.

Lin Youxi played with the jade bracelet in his hand, refracting back and forth through the light.

Then, after getting tired of playing, she put down her hand again, sat on Mei Fang's body, and stared at Mei Fang all the time.

“……”

Mei Fang's eyes were lonely, tired, sad, and painful.

But I just can't see the hatred and disgust for Lin Youxi.

Lin Youxi held Mei Fang's cheek and gently kissed him on the lips.

"Ah Fang."

Lin Youxi said softly.

"I'm sorry."

"Hmmm......"

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang forehead to forehead, the tip of their nose touching the tip of their nose, their eyes meeting each other.

At this moment, Mei Fang finally saw that Lin Youxi's pupils had a glimmer of brilliance.

He trembled and gently hugged Lin Youxi.

Lin Youxi also hugged Mei Fang and took him in his arms.

"I always feel ...... I've told you countless times I'm sorry. ”

"It doesn't matter how many times."

"Well, but it's the last time, really."

Lin Youxi said softly, "I feel like my depression period has passed. ”

"This depression period is really too long."

Mei Fang felt something dripping on his head.

It was a tear.

"So...... Am I dreaming again? ”

"What is called 'again'."

Lin Youxi choked up and said, "You dreamed of me last night?" ”

"Hmm...... Yes, yes. ”

"Then your dream has come true."

Lin Youxi hugged Mei Fang tightly, "But it's also possible, it's your prayers that have had an effect——"

Then she whispered in Mei Fang's ear:

"Let's go...... I'll go with you to get the certificate, go now. ”

"Forget it...... It's so late, they're all off work. ”

"Tomorrow, then...... When we wake up tomorrow, we'll go get the certificate. ”

"It doesn't matter if you get a certificate or not......

"What do you mean it doesn't matter? You've always cared so much......"

Lin Youxi knocked on Mei Fang's head to teach him a lesson, and Mei Fang also showed a tired but reassuring smile for the first time in a long time.

It's like I haven't laughed so happily in a long time.

Then Lin Youxi took out a tissue from Mei Fang's pocket and wiped away his snot and tears for him.

Mei Fang also took out a tissue and wiped Lin Youxi's tears.

After 0 o'clock, put [down]
