With the sound of the tin door opening, a bright light is cast.

He Dongfan wore a white round-neck long-sleeved T-shirt and black sports trousers.

He dragged her into the room and felt the coldness of his hand.

His dark eyes quickly looked her up and down, and his words were urgent, "Why is it like this?" ”

At the same time, he reached out to brush the wet hair from her cheeks.

His fingertips touched her skin, so cold. 𝓜.𝙫𝓞𝓓𝙩🆆.𝘾𝙊🅼

Her lips trembled, and her moist eyelashes hid the glint of her eyes. She looked at him for a moment and answered his question, "I didn't bring an umbrella." ”

Ning Xin's coat is long, and the fabric looks waterproof to the calf, and at the moment, water is dripping down and dripping on the tile floor.

He Dongfan unbuttoned her coat neatly, and Ning Xin also raised her hand to take off her coat in accordance with his movements.

Inside was a black knit sweater, clinging to her curvaceousness, and he only glanced at it before retracting his expression.

He turned and grabbed a coat from the couch and wrapped it around her.

He raised his eyebrows, stepped out from her side, lifted the suitcase and brought it in, and closed the door with his hand, all in one go.

He half-wrapped his arms around her shoulders and led her to sit on the couch, then turned and strode away.

Ning Xin glanced at the clothes wrapped around her body.

Black, very wide.

It should be his.

She put on her sleeves, zipped it up, and put it on.

She looked around again.

The living room is not big, there is a thin TV in front of it, the coffee table is very messy, there are tissues, keys, scissors, several remote controls, etc., as well as lighters, cigarettes, ashtrays...

He Dongfan walked out of it, holding a towel in his hand.

He walked up to her in a few steps, stretched out his foot, hooked a round stool, and sat down.

The towel was handed over, and he looked down at her and asked, "What's going on?" Why are you here all of a sudden? ”

Ning Xin's gaze fixed on the towel for a moment, raised her eyes, and said bluntly, "I'm coming to you, I have something to tell you." ”

She only said two words, and she couldn't hide her astringency.

The heating was turned on in the house, probably because the appliances were old and could be heard buzzing.

Outside, the rain was beating against the living room window.

The two looked at each other.

Be quiet.

It's not quiet.

A few seconds.

He Dongfan's heart swelled, and he quietly withdrew his gaze.

He buried his head slightly, pinched the towel in both hands, folded it aimlessly, and then twisted a corner, and passed it slowly.

The towel gently ran against her cheek.

One time.

Two clicks.

Three times.

It's like waiting for something.

It's like confirming something.

He paused for a moment, and lifted his eyelids to look at her.

This time, his eyes were filled with undesirable emotions.

He got up, sat down on the couch, held her cheek and lifted it slightly, carefully wiping the rain off her face.

He spoke in a light, brisk tone, "You say, I'll listen." ”

Where to start?

Ning Xin had a plan.

To say all she has, to cut open the scars that she has been covering up, in front of him.

For a long time, the detachment and strength she pretended to be just a pitiful creature in the eyes of others.

She was disguised, and even she believed it to be true.

If it weren't for this time, she wouldn't have ripped that mask open and faced it.

Ning Xin's fingers on her lap clenched slightly, trying to calm herself down, "My father died in a car accident, after my college entrance examination." ”

Ten years ago.

First mention.

It's still vivid.

Ning Xin's voice trembled slightly, either because of the cold, or not because of the cold, or "It was raining heavily that day, Dad came to pick me up, and there was a car accident on the road." The other party was seriously injured, and everything in the family was compensated. From that day on, everything changed, my relatives avoided me and my mother, and my mother and mother got sick because they couldn't stand the blow, and sometimes they would beat me, and they would ......"

"It's not your fault, it's an accident, Ning Xin." He Dongfan interrupted Ning Xin's words.

He had seen Ning Xin's mother sick once, hysterical, 'It's all because of you... It's all because you ......', he didn't understand the meaning at the time, he just thought she was mentally ill, so he was talking nonsense.

Now that Ning Xin is contacted, he understands.

Her mother had always blamed her for the mistake, and how could she not be responsible for the accident.

He Dongfan wrapped Ning Xin's wet hair in a towel, he held her pale face, his eyes were firm, and he said loudly, "It's an accident, understand?" ”

Ning Xin lowered her eyelashes and continued, "The day my mother committed suicide, the day it ......"

She choked, she was nowhere near as strong as she thought.

Although I have practiced countless times in my heart, I still can't calmly recall and narrate.

He Dongfan pulled Ning Xin's arm into his arms and wrapped his arms around her.

He didn't want to hear that, he was distressed, "Don't say it." ”

His embrace is warm and powerful.

Let her, not cowardly.

Ning Xin closed her eyes, "I want to tell you." ”

It's your words, I'm willing to say.

Ning Xin eased her emotions a little and spoke again, "On the day my mother committed suicide, I had a chance to stop it, if I hadn't slept. The doctor once told me that my mother was depressed, and when I saw that her health was getting better, I thought that everything she had was getting better, and I thought that as long as I earned enough money to continue her treatment, she would be fine. It's me, it's me who didn't know and care about her emotions in time, otherwise, I could have stopped it. ”

No wonder...

He Dongfan remembered one of Ning Xin's former team members, a child suffering from depression.

He felt at that time that she cared for him too much.

No one has the power to predict prophets.

It's just that later, I sorted out the things again and again, looked for the nodes to save, and then tried to mend the wounds in regret and in similar situations.

He Dongfan closed his eyes, his warm palm covered the back of her head, and his voice was soft, "It's all over." ”

Ning Xin's fingers rubbed against the raised marks on her wrist.

Her life has been shattered.

The soul too.

She had tinkered with it and thought it was cured.

But no.

She doesn't even have the courage to face it, she doesn't even have the courage to love her lover.

Thinking of this, Ning Xin sniffed, and her tone was more eager than just now, "You once said that I have a shortcoming, and I am only willing to listen to people older than me." You're right! Especially for you, I think I have experienced more than you, I know which is more important, I think I love you, make choices for you! I don't want to know you, I'm going to weigh you with myself! I don't think love is worth mentioning compared to the cruelty of reality! ”

She shook her head, denying what she had thought.

"But that's just me!" she said. I surrender to reality, but you won't! You won't......"

At this point, she couldn't control her tears.

She remembered his words again.

She also remembered the words she had said when she was about to break up.

She had angina.

She pushed his arms away.

She looked at him with tears in her eyes, and her pupils printed a circle of soft light, "He Dongfan, what I said is something I have never dared to face, and now, I have to face it." I have a lot of courage now, and I want to accompany you in your future, no matter the ups and downs. I'm willing to carry your future, I do. So... So ......"

Although affirming his answer.

But she was still choking.

She felt that was not enough.

She bit her lip and sobbed, "He Dongfan, let's reconcile, okay?" Or you can reject me first, you can test my sincerity, you can let me chase you, it's all right. ”

Hearing this, He Dongfan's breath condensed in his abdominal cavity exhaled heavily, and he felt a sense of soreness all over his body for a moment.

His dark pupils swirled across her face, exploring, confirming.

He pinned her slippery wet hair behind her ears, and the corners of his mouth turned up shallowly, "Ning Xin, you apologize to me." ”

As soon as these words fell, Ning Xin blurted out, "I'm sorry." ”

He Dongfan smiled cutely at her, his fingers rubbed the tears on her eyelids, and teased slightly, "Do you know what's going on?" Just apologize? ”

She grabbed his hand, pulled it down and held it in the palm of her hand, and looked at him sincerely, "All of them, I'm sorry." ”

He Dongfan shook his head slightly, and his tone sank, "Ning Xin, you don't have the courage to love me, you're right." Like you said, we're not suitable, that's a fact, so you don't dare to love me, it's not your fault. What I want you to apologize for is the day I left Yuwa. ”

Ning Xin lifted her red and swollen eyelids, a little confused.

He Dongfan's dark eyes were full of heavy brilliance, and his tone was soft, "The day I left, it was the weekend, but you said that you had to go to work and couldn't come to see me off." But I firmly believe that you will come, that you will come to see me off, to see me. With this in mind, I sat at the airport, full of confidence, and have been waiting for you. Later I changed my flight, and the last flight of the day, from morning to evening, did not wait for you. That day, it was really a little unbearable, as if you really ......"

He paused, the corners of his mouth tugged at each other, and his voice was eloquent, "Really... Never loved me at all. ”

Just from He Dongfan's words, Ning Xin felt a tearing pain.

She could imagine that image.

He sat at the airport, watching the strange faces coming and going, expectant, and disappointed, until the last moment.

He waited with confidence, confirming her love for him.

But she didn't go.

He confirmed in his heart that she didn't love him at all.

How sad he must have been.

"Ning Xin." He looked at her and said in a slightly angry voice, "Apologize to me for this." ”

"I'm sorry." Ning Xin choked. She pulled out her hand, held his face, and pronounced the words clearly, "He Dongfan, I like you." ”

She felt that it was not enough, "He Dongfan, I love you." ”

Sudden straightforwardness.

He Dongfan felt that his heart was hit,
