Far from damaging our appetites, the little sorrows that haunt us make the food extra delicious. Is it because people often know how to cherish the beauty in front of them more when they are sad and sad?

During the banquet, we asked Xingyuan about her whereabouts these days. It turned out that she didn't mean not to contact us, but she was really busy. She used to finish all her homework during the first week of the vacation so that she could enjoy the rest of her time without constraints. I admire her self-discipline and ability, and I know that I can't reach it. However, even if I can't learn them, it doesn't mean that they don't matter to me, after all, our homework is the same...... After completing her homework, she accepted Xu Mingyao's invitation and followed the family on a road trip. It is said that they rented a villa near the lake as a temporary residence, and every day they could enjoy the lake and mountains, breathe in the air with the fragrance of grass leaves blowing from the mountain forest, and not only that, they also went to the lake to fish, went to the mountains to watch the sunrise, and went to the farm to pick seasonal fruits and vegetables. Looking at the photo of the four of them saved in Xingyuan's mobile phone, we all sighed: This is clearly a happy family! Anyone can see that the relationship between Xingyuan and Xu Mingyao has been recognized and blessed by everyone, and there is no room for others to intervene. As for me, even if I have the last bit of self-esteem and self-knowledge, I will never dare to think that I can destroy their feelings. I really don't understand, how can Xingyuan not understand me? I really envy Xingyuan! I stole a glance at her and was relieved to see her absent-mindedly listening to us talk about her relationship. After I showed my loyalty to her in front of everyone just now, Xingyuan's attitude towards me seemed to be a lot gentler, as if she had smiled at me a few times, hoping that all this was not my delusion. I was looking forward to the future, fantasizing that maybe it wouldn't be long before she forgot about it completely, and of course, so did I, and it was the best ending for her and for me.

It is worthy of the restaurant chosen by Xingyuan! The environment and service were good, the meals were delicious, the only fly in the ointment was that the food portions were too small. The waiter brought us plate after plate of dishes, and we could sweep them away in five minutes, so that it seemed that we were rude and even devoured without much food. The attentive Xingyuan naturally sensed that we were still a long way from eating, so after she whispered a few words to the waiter, the dishes served were all in duplicate. The lunch lasted more than an hour. We sat contentedly in a daze when the waiter politely handed over a long bill. Xingyuan stretched out her hand to take the bill, and without looking at it, she attached the bank card and handed it back. When the waiter quoted the amount of the credit card, we looked at each other, even a little panicked. In order to hide the guilt in their hearts, everyone began to praise Xingyuan's boldness and magnanimity. Unexpectedly, this kindness made Xingyuan the most embarrassing person.

previously said that they would accompany Xingyuan to buy a birthday gift for Xu Mingyao, but when they heard that they were going to pick up a ball of yarn, they all flinched. In the impression of many people, the colors of the ball of yarn are nothing more than the common ones, and the styles are even more handful, and there is nothing to see at all. If it weren't for the fact that he was going to knit a scarf for Xu Mingyao, Xingyuan wouldn't have looked at them more. So, it's no wonder that they are reluctant to go along. Probably only Xin Tian and I know the joy of picking yarn balls, however, there are things that attract Xin Tian more than yarn balls, such as clothes and cosmetics, and besides, she once declared to us that she has no plans to spend any more time knitting anything for Yang Fan before she graduates from high school. In the end, they unanimously decided to hand over the task of accompanying Xingyuan to buy yarn balls to me. I was afraid that Xingyuan would object, so I hurriedly agreed. Such a rare opportunity to perform, I naturally refused to let go. So, we happily said goodbye at the door of the restaurant.

Xingyuan told me that the pair of gloves I gave her before were very soft and warm to wear, so she planned to buy the same woolen ball to weave a scarf for Xu Mingyao. I grinned and echoed her, but there was a hint of panic in my heart, after all, the yarn balls that knitted those gloves were originally intended to be used to weave a scarf for Xu Mingyao, but it is conceivable that the color of the wool balls is not quite commensurate with Xingyuan's temperament. Fortunately, Xingyuan didn't dig deeper, probably just because I was not in good taste. After learning that the store that sold the yarn ball was in this shopping mall, Xingyuan's eyes revealed a little surprise. I tried my best to suppress my panic, pretended to be cheerful, and begged her not to think of the balls I had bought there on Valentine's Eve.

They all said that the waiters who work in the big shopping malls are very discerning, and I have always been puzzled by this because I rarely go out to spend, and it is not until today that I can understand the deep meaning of their words. I don't know how the waiters saw that I didn't mean to buy something, and while they didn't bother to take care of me, they put all their enthusiasm and patience on Xingyuan. I don't know how they saw that Xingyuan had a good budget, and as soon as they heard that she was going to knit a scarf for her boyfriend, they immediately took out a number of valuable wool balls from the locked glass cabinet and introduced them in front of Xingyuan one by one. It would not be accurate to say that Xingyuan was unmoved by the waiter's hard selling, because after she touched two of the most expensive balls of yarn, she immediately chose one of them, but she was very interested, but she didn't look like it, because when the waiter was about to show her the swatches of the balls of yarn, she politely declined their courtesy.

Looking at the ball of yarn lying on the counter of unknown color, I timidly asked, "Why not......?" Or look at other colors? ”

"Isn't this color bad?" Xingyuan stared at me quietly, her gaze as indifferent as her tone.

I could hear her say in her heart: Do you know better than I do what color is right for him?

"I don't know......" I replied with a trembling voice, lowering my head.

"This color is very good, young lady, you really have an eye! The primary color of wool is the most durable, and it has not been bleached and dyed, and it will not fade for many years. The waiter smiled and resolved the embarrassment between us.

"If only it could never fade......"

Whether Xingyuan's sigh was due to helplessness or sadness, I couldn't tell, but strangely, I felt inexplicably sad because of it.

"Absolutely! As long as you follow the method on the manual, there is absolutely no problem! "The waiter smiled professionally and looked very reliable.

Worried that she would not be able to knit well, Xingyuan bought an extra ball of yarn as a backup, which made the already scary bill doubly scary. But then again, since Xingyuan is willing to spend money on us, she will naturally not be stingy with Xu Mingyao, and may even be even more willing. When it comes to the status in Xingyuan's heart, the countless friends must not be as important as having and only one boyfriend. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine how Xingyuan will choose when faced with the situation of having to choose one or the other......

I thought I could chat with Xingyuan in the process of selecting the ball of yarn, and the set was almost, but I didn't expect it to be over before it started...... Don't be discouraged, the next step is to teach her how to weave a scarf! Thinking of this, I bothered my spirits and asked Xingyuan with a smile if I wanted to join them and continue shopping, but I got a negative answer.

"It's raining...... Xingyuan looked up at the glass canopy of the mall. Let's go......" I'm sure it's not an interrogative sentence.

Now that Xing Yuan has made up her mind, I can't force it anymore. So, I followed her in a huff and walked towards the mall gate. Perhaps she couldn't bear to see me coming home sullenly, but at parting, she suddenly changed her mind and offered to go to the same bus stop with me.

"Good! Belch...... But there's no car near your house...... Or forget it, right? "I didn't expect Xingyuan to be willing to take a detour for me. I was so pleasantly surprised and so proud that I almost forgot to pretend to be polite.

"It doesn't matter, I can take the tourist line, get off the bus and walk for ten minutes to get home, anyway, the things are not heavy." She shook the paper bag with the ball of yarn in her hand and smiled at me.

"Great!" I smiled, and the gloom in my heart instantly dissipated.

I really wanted to hold Xingyuan's hand and walk side by side like before, but I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xingyuan silently changed the bag to her left hand to lift, with the interval of the bulging bag, I couldn't get close to her on her left. At this time, if I walked cheekily to her right, it would be a little deliberate, and after being entangled for a while, I decided to give up this idea, people can't be too aggressive......

At the beginning of the day after the rain, the sky is as clear and transparent as water. However, the ground is a different matter. Due to the heavy rainfall, which exceeded the load of the drainage facilities, turbid rainwater accumulated several centimeters high on the ground. The twilight sun and humid breeze were too mild to take away much moisture, and the road was filled with puddles of varying sizes. This made Xingyuan, who was wearing high-heeled sandals, very distressed, knowing that the water on the ground would not only stain and wet her beautiful shoes, but also cause her to slip and fall if she was not careful. It's only at times like this that I'm glad I only have flats to wear.

"I'll clear the way for you!" After saying that, I walked up to Xingyuan and tested the depth of the road with my feet. During this period, it was inevitable to step on a deep puddle, however, for the safety of Xingyuan, I didn't mind my shoes and socks being soaked in water.

With my help, Xingyuan successfully avoided the inconvenience caused by the stagnant water. Although the two of us walked slowly, we won steadily. Anyway, it's still a while before it gets dark, so we have nothing to worry about.

I ran and jumped on the slightly protruding zebra crossing to the other side of the road, then turned and waved at Xingyuan. Xingyuan also obviously saw that the zebra crossing was much drier than the surrounding road, but she couldn't jump over the waterlogged area between the zebra crossings like I did, so she had to stride on the zebra crossing instead. As a result, she walks more slowly. I looked back at the number of seconds at the pedestrian green light, and there were still more than ten seconds. Considering that Xingyuan was only ten steps away from me, and there was plenty of time, I let go of the anxiety and nervousness in my heart. Suddenly, a huge gray shadow whistled past me with a deafening whistle, and before I could react, screams rang out all around me.

"Wow!"

"Stop!"

"Bumped into someone!"

"Help!"

"Hit 120!"

"Don't ...... No! I stiffened and subconsciously shouted.

I watched in amazement as the blinding red slowly flowed and spread out from under the truck, and I fell into a state of utter confusion and dizziness, until the blood-red ball of yarn rolled out of the shadow of the truck, and I could not resist the fear and despair in my heart. I cried and shouted and wanted to rush forward, but somehow, my feet didn't obey, and I fainted completely in front of me.
