You Xuezhen hummed lowly.

"Then ...... you hesitate?" Yuan Jing gradually showed an incredible expression, "Are you ...... Ye Wanbai?" ”

You Xuezhen drank the remaining half of the bottle of wine and burped heavily.

"I used to like him, for a long, long time." She squeezed the empty jar self-deprecatingly, "You should think I'm unreasonable, right?" ”

Silence, long silence.

For Yuan Jing, this amount of information surpasses all that tonight - they have been under the same roof for nearly four years, and they have never realized it. This impact made her feel so sluggish, or perhaps, You Xuezhen hid it too well.

So how hard does it have to be to like someone seamlessly?

She stretched out her hand, without any other words, and gave You Xuezhen another hug.

You Xuezhen was rolled up to Yuan Jing's shoulder, her eyes pressed against her neck. The heat of her body temperature made her feel so hot, and she could bake out moisture when it burned into her eyes.

is such a simple action, but You Xuezhen feels that at this moment, the girl's heart that she has been carrying alone for many years has been gently shared.

You Xuezhen smiled and said very calmly: "I have been making the same birthday wish for so many years, that is, I hope that Ye Wanbai can like me. ”

"But in the year I met Meng Shilong, I made one more wish, hoping that I would no longer like him."

"This new wish is coming true." You Xuezhen said funny, "As a result, God made my old wish come true." Why is it playing with me like this? ”

She could have left in an orderly manner, but the untimely love was about to rush to her face and turn into vines.

By the river, the saxophone player finished his song and moved on to the next one, and the sound of the piano drifted across Sirong Bay, and I don't know where it would go.

Yuan Jing pondered for a while, and said slowly: "But I think it's a good thing to be like this." ”

“…… Is it? ”

"Of course. There is a new universe when there is an explosion. ”

You Xuezhen's face showed a look of understanding or not.

"I might be a bit abstract when I say it." Yuan Jing suddenly thought about it, "That's it, let's play a maze game." ”

"What game is this......?"

"I'm going to draw a labyrinth, and there are two people at the exit, Meng Ge and Ye Wanbai. See which exit you'll walk to. Let's see who God will guide you. ”

“…… What is this, don't play. ”

"Tsk, you don't understand that. As the old saying goes, fate is destined! You think of it as a draw. ”

You Xuezhen pillowed on Yuan Jing's shoulder and looked at the night sky: "...... Whatever you want. ”

Yuan Jing took out the memo on her mobile phone and clicked her finger on the screen to draw an intricate maze, with the names of two people written on the two mouths of the maze.

She stuffed the phone into You Xuezhen's hand.

"Come on, the decisive moment."

You Xuezhen sat up straight, although there was still a meaningless look on her lips just now, after grabbing the phone, she immediately stretched out a finger solemnly and began to meander along the screen.

Turn left, forward, turn left, turn right, forward, dead end, retreat, turn left, forward...... It was as if she had gotten into her heart at this point, wandering around in it.

You Xuezhen's eyes were staring at the thread under her hand, and finally she exited-

Yuan Jing tilted her head with bated breath at the same time, looking at the answer revealed by Providence.

【Leaf Fade White】

"Oh—actually." Yuan Jing sighed, "It's worthy of being small, and the fate is great......"

You Xuezhen stared at the screen wordlessly, and the pale white fluorescence illuminated her stunned face.

Yuan Jing put away her playful tone and asked seriously, "Zhenzhen, what are you feeling now?" ”

She woke up like a dream and sighed, "What? ”

"Are you glad you picked this person, or are you thinking, I'm going to smoke again."

Yuan Jing withdrew her phone.

"What comes to mind at this moment is the real answer."

The phone screen that shows the cluttered maze shows 23:02, and there is less than an hour left until the end of Valentine's Day.

You Xuezhen didn't answer, and suddenly got up from the bench.

"Huh?"

"I think I have a place I have to go now......" You Xuezhen said incoherently, "I'm sorry, I can't continue to drink with you tonight." ”

Yuan Jing directly pushed her: "What's nonsense, hurry up!" ”

You Xuezhen was pushed forward by her, turning around and waving at her while running, then pedaled on the shared bicycle and rushed to the street without looking back.

Yuan Jing sat on the bench and watched You Xuezhen's back image of a fluttering flag go away, and the posture of desperately running towards someone made people want to clench their fists and cheer for her.

She didn't hold back, and really shouted:

"Chong, Zhenzhen——!"

*

At 12:01, this chaotic Valentine's Day finally turned a new page.

Meng Shilong lay on the bed, the moonlight was too dazzling tonight, even if the curtains were covered, there was still a clear light. He stared straight at the elusive moon, unwilling to close his eyes.

Because as long as you close your eyes, you will return to the box just now, and return to the moment when you confronted Ye Wanbai.

"You can never catch up with those differences."

This sentence is like a distant morning bell, and even if you cover your ears, you can faintly hear its echo.

He asked himself countless times, how do you fight against time?

In the last days of his mother's illness, he could only watch time pass and take her away.

Time is an open case, and no one knows where it will end up, but those established pasts will not change.

The days that You Xuezhen and that person had been together for twenty years were also a fact that he could not do anything to change.

But he won't back down.

Meng Shilong clicked on the mobile phone at the bedside, clicked on the chat interface with You Xuezhen, and quickly typed a line:

"Can we meet tomorrow?"

He didn't expect the reply to come so quickly, and in the next second, the news came from the other side-

"Why don't we meet now?"

He jumped out of bed in amazement and pulled back the curtains.

Under the moonlight, You Xuezhen rode a bicycle and parked in the alley, I don't know how far she rode, her hair was covered with sweat.

In the dark room, the young man jumped out of bed, hurriedly put on his T-shirt and jeans and rushed downstairs, he opened the roller shutter door, braked sharply, and looked at her breathlessly.

"Did something happen?"

He spoke worriedly.

You Xuezhen smiled and shook her head: "I'm just here to give you a Valentine's Day gift." ”

“…… You went to buy it again? ”

She shook her head again, sniffled, and shook the time on her phone.

"It's already past 12 o'clock, though." She repeated a similar line of dialogue, "But, this time I wish you a happy holiday." ”

Meng Shilong was in a trance, as if he had returned to the day they first met.

- [It's past 12 o'clock, but I still wish you a happy Halloween.] 】

It is true that time does not change, nor can the established past.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that the original time could overlap.

It overlaps, and then everything will be refreshed.

You Xuezhen stretched out her arms on her back: "Meng Shilong, are you willing to accept my ......?" ”

Before she finished saying the word gift, her eyes were dark, and she was already hugged by someone quickly.

The world is quiet, but the heartbeat is noisy. Plop plop,

You Xuezhen sucked the snot that flowed from the bicycle and muttered in his ear.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Chapter 51

You Xuezhen shrunk in Meng Shilong's arms, and was hugged by him impenetrable. But she was so pleased with the density of the embrace that it was as if she had become a part of his body.

She squeezed on his chest and said, "So, that means you took it, right?" ”

"Can I really take it?" His tone was still incredulous, "Wouldn't I have fallen asleep in bed......?" ”

After saying that, he clasped his hands together.

Only then did You Xuezhen realize that the skin under Meng Shilong's palm was cold—he didn't even wear a coat, and his skin was almost frozen red.

She quickly pushed him: "You go up quickly!" Don't catch a cold. ”

"I'm not cold." He looked at the bicycle behind her, and touched the sweat on her forehead, "I'll send you back first."

"No need to ......," You Xuezhen paused, "It's past curfew time."

He looked stunned and cautious: "That...... Do you want to stay with me? He added, "My bed is for you to sleep in." ”

"What about you?"

"I'll just sleep on the couch in the living room."

"Wouldn't that be a bad ......?"

"It's not bad to sleep in your boyfriend's bed."
