Love can be controlled.

That's because she wants him to live well, very well, very well.

But now, if he is not doing well, what is the meaning of control?

Ning Xin has to confirm it in person.

About an hour's journey from the airport to HSD University, Ning Xin leaned against the car window and looked at the unfamiliar street scene that kept moving backwards. 𝓜.🅅𝙊𝙙🅃𝙬.𝓒𝙤𝙢

The closer she got to him, the more thoughts came into her head.

But in the end, she still hoped that she could see him doing well, very well.

Nothing else, it doesn't matter.

Ning Xin grabbed the suitcase push rod in her hand and stood at the main entrance of HSD University.

She took a deep breath, took out her phone, and asked in fluent English for the direction of a coffee shop, which was the only address Yang Xiaozhen knew.

With an unfamiliar environment and an unfamiliar ethnic group, Ning Xin felt that it was much more difficult to find a way than usual.

It was about twenty minutes before she reached the door of the coffee shop.

There is an open-air space at the door, with custom-made long wooden tables where people gather to chat and drink coffee, and people sit on the grass next to them, and coffee and snacks are also placed directly on the ground.

Very laid-back atmosphere.

Ning Xin stepped on the wooden floor and walked towards the coffee shop.

She peered into the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

There were fewer people inside than outside, and a few young waiters in black aprons stood busy at the bar.

All foreigners.

Ning Xin walked in, ordered a cup of coffee at random, paid for the coffee and tips, and asked in English, "Excuse me, is He Dongfan there?" ”

The young waiter glanced at Ning Xin, with a standard smile on his face, and asked directly, "What are you looking for him?" ”

Ning Xin thought for half a second, "I'm his friend." ”

After speaking, Ning Xin took out the money and gave a little tip.

The young waitress said 'thank you' and answered her question, "He's gone out with the boss to buy materials, you know, it takes a lot of strength." ”

Ning Xin asked again, "When will he come back?" ”

The young waiter shrugged his shoulders and said he wasn't clear.

Ning Xin found a place by the window and sat down.

She looked out the window.

The campus buildings are mainly Gothic architectural style, and the painted glass windows reflect the setting sun, which is a brilliant pale blue.

Nearby, a tree-lined greenway is full of cherry blossoms, and pink petals fall in the breeze.

In the distance, there is a snow-capped mountain, and on the top of the mountain is a tumbling fiery cloud.

The combination of nature and architecture makes you feel like you are in a Western fairy tale world.

Gradually, the sun set, only a little afterglow, and a light lit up.

On the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Ning Xin's face was printed.

Her expression was lonely.

It's beautiful, but she feels a strong sense of detachment from herself.

She couldn't help but think that He Dongfan should have felt like this when he first came here alone.

If it is really like what Yang Xiaozhen said, he has no contact with his family, then how difficult it should be for him in such a strange city.

And she didn't know any of that.

Just thinking about it, her heart was astringent, and it spread all over her body.

When night fell, there were still people sitting on the grass outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and a white dog waved its paws at Ning Xin through the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Ning Xin unconsciously moved the chair.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

It's an unfamiliar number.

Ning Xin picked it up, and it was called by the community property.

said that she was doing renovation upstairs and found that there was water seepage, and hoped that she would go home quickly to take a look.

Ning Xin said that she was abroad and could not go back now.

But this matter can't be delayed.

The two sides discussed, and finally decided to find a locksmith to enter the house to check the situation under the video recording of the property management.

Ning Xin thought about it, and it could only be like this.

The property was still talking over there, Ning Xin listened, and suddenly a familiar figure broke into her sight.

Her gaze followed the figure blankly.

He was wearing dark jeans and a wide white short-sleeved T-shirt, the cuffs of which were pulled up to his shoulders with a wide jaw, revealing the muscular lines of his strong arms.

Ning Xin still took the time to think about it at this time, isn't he cold?

In the next second, the thought fell through again.

He still has neat short hair, and when viewed from the side, the silhouette is tough and heroic.

His face was radiant, there was no fatigue, and he took three steps and two steps.

He hasn't changed at all, and he has an unstoppable and enviable vitality.

In fact, there are also changes.

His skin was a little darker than before, and his body seemed to be a little stronger.

He walked into the bar and stood behind a blonde girl with ponytails.

He first clasped his hands in front of his chest, then crossed his hands on his hips, and watched the movements of the girl's hands from behind.

After watching it for a while, it seemed like the girl's work was over, and he hooked the girl's shoulder.

Ning Xin's heart, at that moment, was very crisp and broken.

He had hugged her like this countless times.

She could remember very clearly what it was like.

Ning Xin's vision was a little blurry and lowered her eyes.

Her fingers were still clutching her phone, and she didn't know when the call had ended.

In the past few days, she has thought too much, but she never thought that it would be this scene.

Déjà vu scene.

In fact, if you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it.

Time is the fairest thing in this world.

Everyone, at every point in their choice, will give an answer at some point in the future.

Ning Xin walked out of the coffee shop with her suitcase in despair.

She was so distracted that the little white dog, who had been rolling wildly on the grass, barked twice in front of her before she came to her senses.

She threw her suitcase and ran to the grass next to her.

Perhaps she also let out an intriguing, humiliating cry for help.

But she didn't have that many thoughts, she just heard the suitcase 'clang,' and landed with a loud bang, and the barking puppy barked at her even harder.

The owner of the puppy hurriedly panicked, bent down to carry the puppy's harness, and took it into his arms to comfort him.

Ning Xin was stunned, thought of something, and looked towards the coffee shop.

She saw He Dongfan running out of the store, jumping over a wooden stool with neat movements, and came to her in an instant.

She moved faster than her thoughts, and unconsciously took half a step back, but in the next second, she was taken into a powerful embrace.

Her heart was beating wildly, and there was a momentary stagnation.

The head is full of the faint smell of coffee.

She heard him say in English, "Please put a leash on it, now." ”

As he spoke, he seemed to tighten his arms a little more.

Ning Xin slowly raised his head, he was close at hand.

But at this moment, she regained her consciousness and reason, and pushed away the person in front of her.

He Dongfan noticed it, let go of his hand, and his dark eyes stared at her.

The wall groove in the wall, the lamp inside is a warm yellow, and it illuminates everything gently.

She wore a long beige trench coat with a brown crewneck sweater underneath.

Her face was still a little panicked, her eyes were moist and she looked away, her lips were slightly open, and her breathing was slightly heavy.

He Dongfan came back to his senses, quickly straightened the sleeves of his shirt that were rolled up to his arms, and pulled the hem of his clothes by the way to make his clothes more regular.

He turned around and went over to pick up Ning Xin's suitcase.

Ning Xin also hurriedly followed.

He pinched the lever of her suitcase, staring at her, "Why are you..."

He paused, looked away, licked his lips, and fixed his gaze on her face again. He changed the question: "Are you alone?" ”

Ning Xin let out a slow half-beat 'um'.

He Dongfan: "Come and play?" ”

Ning Xin's lips opened, and then closed, "Hmm." ”

He Dongfan smiled, his tone was atmospheric, as natural as an old friend meeting, "Do you want me to take you to play?" ”

"No, you don't." Ning Xin raised her eyes, "My plane tomorrow." ”

She was only given one day to repair on her business trip, so she had to rush back tomorrow.

He Dongfan's smile converged for a moment, and then showed his tiger teeth again, "Have you eaten dinner?" ”

Ning Xin realized something and didn't answer immediately.

He Dongfan laughed self-deprecatingly, lowered his head and touched the back of his neck, and muttered, "Don't you want to eat?" ”

She was here to see if he was doing well.

Under the impact of the picture just now, she wanted to leave.

But now she remembered the purpose of her coming.

But it was also the picture just now that came to mind again, and Ning Xin looked past He Dongfan and glanced into the coffee shop.

The girl was gone.

Maybe it's in the back kitchen.

Ning Xin's tone was dry, "You go to dinner with me, do you want to go in and say hello?" ”

He Dongfan paused, pulled the suitcase and walked in, and said loudly, "You wait for me." ”

Ning Xin looked at her suitcase "My ......"

"Put it here." He smiled and said, "Get it after eating." ”

Ning Xin nodded.

In fact, in the past few days, Ning Xin has been thinking about the last meeting with He Dongfan.

It's a heart-wrenching image when you think about it.

So, she was worried about their meeting.

But now it seems.

OK.

When He Dongfan came out again, he put on a black jacket with a wide version, the zipper was pulled to the end, and he also pinched a woolen scarf in his hand.

He walked over, pinched his hand and raised his hand, "It's cold at night here." ”

White.

It can't be his.

Ning Xin turned around and put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, "I'm not cold." ”
