When he said this, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and Tang Yuanyuan looked at his bitter smile and asked with some concern:

"It seems a little late to ask... Do you really have no relationship? ”

She still hasn't forgotten the past he mentioned to herself when she first met Yi Huai, at that time Yi Huai's obsession with finding people was still very obvious, from his words at that time, it seemed that it was the only obsession that could support his still existence, so in the past, she was still worried that if this obsession was lost one day, Yi Huai might show a strong tendency to self-destruct...

And now this bad future seems to have come ahead of schedule, but fortunately, the other party does not seem to fall into the worst situation she envisioned such as getting out of control.

Even on the surface, Yi Huai seemed to be much calmer than she imagined, but she couldn't know what the other party was thinking under this calm.

Yi Huai didn't seem surprised by her question, but he still pondered for a while in the face of this question, looking into her eyes and hesitating a few times, as if thinking about whether to answer, but in the end he still opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.

"I think it's a little strange to myself." He laughed to himself, "Although I did feel a sense of powerlessness when you mentioned the boy's affairs at the time, and I knew that these things were a foregone conclusion, but it was unexpected... I'm not as desperate as I thought. ”

"Tell me the truth... At one point, I had a feeling that everything was settled. It's as if we've finally witnessed the end of one thing... and new beginnings. ”

"Although I did feel lost after losing the goal of finding her, and felt that everything I had done before was meaningless, I also feel that the loss of this goal now does not seem to be as terrible as I used to think."

"It's good that you can think that." Tang Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and felt that Yi Huai seemed to have finally figured it out and learned to let go, at least not as extreme as in the past when he lost the meaning of existence if he lost a goal.

Now that he has already wanted to open up a lot in his own heart, it seems that she doesn't need to worry too much, because as long as she can let go of the past, it means that she can look forward, at least she won't be trapped in a cage called the past.

Thinking of this, Tang Yuanyuan sighed lightly and let go of the hand holding Yi Huai's wrist, and was about to say a few more words of comfort to him, telling him that even if he couldn't find that "she" herself, maybe he could wait for a new encounter, or find the truth of the year through other methods, and then do something for "her".

But before she could say the comforting words, the hand she was about to withdraw was suddenly grabbed by Yi Huai, she was stunned and raised her head again, looking at Yi Huai's eyes staring at her, her heart trembled.

"Didn't you just ask me why I always like to hang around you lately?" He held her hand and spoke, lowered his eyes and landed on her hand, gently rubbing her palm with his fingertips, "Because I don't know why, staying by your side and being close to you will make me feel very relieved." ”

"At least when I'm next to you, I don't think about the things that upset me... So I just want to stay with you, even if it's not doing anything and just looking at you. ”

What's going on?

Tang Yuanyuan listened to Yi Huai's words, and his brain was a little stunned.

Yi Huai's hands holding him were a little too warm, and his eyes staring at him seemed to be too hot, if he was a human male, Tang Yuanyuan would definitely feel that this remark was a confession.

But Yi Huai is not a human being, even if he is similar to a human being, Tang Yuanyuan does not think that he will have the overly complex emotions of human beings, even if he has such strong emotions, it will only be a purer thing, and the expression of human emotions may not be applicable to him.

But no matter what kind of emotion Yi Huai was out of when she said this, she did feel an emotion from him that was close to attachment and pleading... He looked at himself with even a bit of piety in his eyes, no matter what kind of emotion this was, Tang Yuanyuan couldn't question its truth.

It can't be that he sees himself as a new emotional sustenance, right? Why? Did he do anything that would have a big impact on him?

She was puzzled by this, and although she didn't find the answer, she didn't withdraw her hand, because she still remembered the promise she had made in the past, she said that she would help him, and if she could temporarily become the emotional sustenance for him to change his state of mind, it would not be a good thing.

So after a short hesitation, she also gently shook his hands back, which can be regarded as the comfort and answer she gave.

Yi Huai was slightly stunned after getting her response, and then raised his eyes again, looked into her eyes and asked:

"Tang Yuanyuan, you said before that as long as you are still here, I will always have a place to return, and I will no longer wander alone and aimlessly like in the past, that's not a lie, right?"

"Of course."

Tang Yuanyuan nodded in response, she would not break her promise, and she never thought of giving up Yi Huai.

And the next second she answered, Yi Huai made another move that surprised her.

Suddenly, he leaned over and reached out to take the unsuspecting her into his arms, then rested his head on her shoulder.

Tang Yuanyuan was startled and subconsciously wanted to avoid this kind of too intimate physical contact, but she soon realized that this was just an ordinary hug, Yi Huai put his hands around her back, and didn't even dare to exert too much force, he just gently hugged her in his arms, lying on her body as if he just wanted to get closer to her breath and feel the warmth of her body.

It seems like some kind of large dog... Tang Yuanyuan couldn't help but chuckle out loud when she thought about it like this, so she also didn't push Yi Huai away, but reached out and hugged him, leaned her head slightly on his shoulder and patted his back with a smile.

"Don't worry, I promise that things won't change for you."

"As long as I exist, you'll have somewhere to go, and I won't leave alone."

"And about 'her', we may not be completely out of the question, for example, we can start with that boy and find out the truth about 'her' in the past."

"Maybe when your missing memories are filled in and all the truth is revealed, you can do something meaningful for 'her'... At least that way, you can understand why she chose to leave in the first place. ”

She smiled and talked to him, leaned on his arms and heard him whisper, did not take the initiative to end the hug, but slowly turned her face to the floor-to-ceiling window facing the living room, watching the city lights flicker in the night outside the window, and there were goose feather-like snowflakes falling in the night sky, and Nancheng ushered in the first heavy snow of the year.

She watched the snowflakes fall in the night sky and slowly closed her eyes.

"We have a long, long future ahead of us."

Hearing her last soft words, Yi Huai hugged her and didn't say anything.

His lifespan was very long, and time and the future were originally meaningless existences for him, but when these words came out of Tang Yuanyuan's mouth, he suddenly felt as if his time had begun to flow with her life.

But this kind of flow doesn't seem to be terrible, because time has meaning, so there is a past and a future, and the future she said is very good, because there is Tang Yuan, and she is not lonely at all.
