Everyone's attention was on the two people who were hugging each other, and only Su Chengyi noticed the blurred figure in the distance.

It stands to reason that at such a distance, the visibility of the snowy night is not good, and the light in that corner is also dim.

In this way, it is actually difficult to determine that the person is Chen Jinzhi.

Su Chengyi sincerely hoped that he was wrong more than anyone else.

But he knows better than anyone that he can't be mistaken.

Besides, if there is a 1% chance that it is Chen Jinzhi, he must confirm it.

The countdown became like a year, and Su Chengyi was so confused at this time that he naturally couldn't count down smoothly.

Three, two, one.

Su Chengyi grabbed Chu Qianmian's shoulders and pushed her away.

He opened his mouth, feeling a little astringent in his throat.

"The time should be almost up."

Chu Tianmian's eyes were a little stunned, and she obviously sensed that something was wrong with the person in front of her.

But in the end, she just nodded obediently.

"You"

She had barely spat out a syllable when she was interrupted.

"Then I'll go first, I still have some business."

Su Chengyi glanced at the Christmas tree in the distance.

The road down is the southeast gate, and there are usually no people to go, there is only one exit.

He couldn't find any excuse to get out for a while, so he had to vaguely drop such a sentence, and hurriedly turned away.

Walking through the crowd that had not yet reacted, Su Chengyi almost didn't care about the opinions of the people behind him, and his steps became faster and faster.

It's too late to care, let's talk about it later.

He must now confirm whether that person is Chen Jinzhi or not.

If it's really her, then you'll have to find someone first.

Su Chengyi's back quickly disappeared around the corner in the distance.

There was a group of dazed people at the event site.

No one understood why he suddenly seemed to be a different person in just one minute.

Chu Tianmian stood in place, a little stunned.

She didn't understand either, she just felt like a heart falling into an ice cellar, and it was cold from head to toe.

The host on the stage was the first to react, she coughed awkwardly and chose to continue the process.

She raised the timer in her hand, laughed dryly, and said:

"Aha, classmates, look."

Chu Tianmian turned his head blankly and looked at the numbers on the timer.

“00：59。”

I see, it's a second off.

"Well, if the game doesn't work out, we can put on a show to offset it."

I don't know why, the host's words that were originally used to liven up the atmosphere became more and more unconfident.

Maybe it's because the girl in front of her looks so sad.

The snow fell on her eyelashes, and for a moment it melted, and there was silence.

What's the situation, it's just a game, how can it be like something terrible happening?

The host inexplicably began to get nervous, and was about to say something round to comfort her.

Chu Qianmian nodded, raising a beautiful and perfect smile.

This smile made people feel even more sad, and even the host was breathless.

A person who is born with such a good look, but shows such a lonely expression, will make people infinitely reflect on whether they have done something wrong.

Under the complicated gaze of everyone, Chu Tianmian returned to the stage and sat in front of the piano.

She carried a prepared apple and greeting card in her pocket, bulging with hot heart.

Therefore, the snacks and apples given by playing games can only be placed in down jackets and hats.

She hesitated for a moment, then took them out of her pocket and placed them next to the lid.

It looks like I can't send it out tonight.

There was a thin layer of snow on the piano keys, which was very cold to the touch.

She struck the first note.

The melody of "Merry Christmas" sounded.

Su Chengyi hadn't gone far yet, so of course he heard the sound of the piano.

A calm and sad melody.

But he only hesitated for a moment and did not stop.

Prioritize things.

I'm not sure how much Chen Jinzhi saw, if he only saw the hugging scene, it would be a big misunderstanding.

Although it can't be said to be a misunderstanding, it can only be said that the situation is too bad.

And Chu Tianmian's side, although it is strange to say that the behavior of running away inexplicably, he finally cooperated to complete the game task.

It seems clear which is more important.

Around the corner behind the Christmas tree, a makeover, new Christmas décor trash can has emerged, and the contents are already piled up.

Some of the things that couldn't be put down were forced to scatter or pile them aside.

Su Chengyi would notice it at this time because the contents were not the usual household garbage.

Rather, a bunch of apples, flowers, cakes.

It's not ordinary, it's a garbage with a festive atmosphere.

It's a lot of discarded sincerity.

The apples and greeting cards on the lid of the trash can are also very special.

Because the other garbage has been covered with a layer of falling snow, and they are still clean.

This means that it has just been put on it for a short time.

Su Chengyi's hurried footsteps stopped, and he turned back and picked up the apple.

Nothing special, just an apple, like a random one in a fruit store.

But underneath is a postcard.

A postcard from the northernmost post office with the Finnish Santa Claus on the cover.

Su Chengyi's heart instantly settled, like a jar of burned incense ashes.

To the north, it's really Chen Jinzhi.

He didn't have time to check the contents, so he put it in his pocket and ran towards the intersection.

If it is in a TV series, at this time it is probably a cliché plot of "she runs away from him and chases him, and it is difficult for both of them to fly".

The heroine will burst into tears while hurriedly waving for a taxi,

The male protagonist arrived at the last moment and stopped the car door.

The female protagonist covered her ears and said, "I don't listen, I don't listen, I see everything", and the male protagonist grabbed her wrist and shouted hoarsely, "Loser girl, listen to my explanation".

Su Chengyi had almost this kind of plot in mind.

It's just that they shouldn't be as emotional as the male and female protagonists of the TV series.

But after stopping the car, he should immediately open his mouth to explain and redeem himself.

So the question is, how to redeem it?

Fortunately, we didn't get the certificate, and if we got the certificate, I was delayed for the rest of my life.

Will you see you again, Jinzhi, you have to be happy and happy when you say goodbye!

Nishiki! How can I live without you, Jinzhi!

No, what a mess!!

Su Chengyi touched his pocket.

Fortunately, I kept an eye on it, and I still had the petal that wrote the rules of the game in my pocket.

In this way, everything is reasonable and reasonable, and this hug is just a game between classmates.

While he practiced such lines repeatedly in his heart, he finally saw the intersection of the southeast gate of the school.

Running on a snowy road is not easy, the road is slippery, and you can fall after taking two steps.

A fall isn't a big deal, it's just a bigger delay.

Su Chengyi gasped and finally crossed the corner.

The scene in front of me is completely different from what I imagined.

On this festive night, this street, which is usually the most deserted and secluded, seems even more lonely.

The street lamps were lit up and out, there were no decorations, they were still the same, and the shadows of the lampposts lay faintly on the snow that had been covered with a thin layer.

It's a Christmas atmosphere, but I forgot to bring it here.

Chen Jinzhi was there, but she was not in a hurry to take a taxi and leave.

She just tilted her head slightly, and her side face looked quiet, with no special emotions.

Su Chengyi thought at first that she expected him to catch up, so she was waiting.

But when I got closer, I felt that it was not.

Chen Jinzhi just stood there, and she didn't wait.

In the weather of more than ten degrees below zero, she only wore a light-colored coat.

This is not the dress that belongs to the capital, she probably rushed over as soon as she got off the plane.

From where?

It must be a warm southern city.

The snow fell on her, making her thin figure seem to melt into the night in the next second.

Su Chengyi took off his coat and walked over at a faster pace.

When he really stood in front of her, the smell of the exhausting wind and dust came to her face.

Chen Jinzhi looked really tired, with an abnormal blue color under his eyes, obviously he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

She was originally thin and had a slender skeleton, and this kind of aura made her whole person infected with the beauty of sickness.

Su Chengyi's impression rarely has such Chen Jinzhi, most of the time she is always decent and self-controlled, and she will not let people see the real side.

At this time, she looked a little fragile, like a fine ceramic with a sudden crack.

It wasn't until there was an extra coat on his shoulders that Chen Jinzhi's eyes fell on Su Chengyi, and in just a moment, he moved away again.

Su Chengyi's coat was draped over her shoulders, almost caging her whole body.

But this brief look at each other still gave Su Chengyi the courage to talk to her.

He was silent for a long time, recalled the wording he had just thought of, and spoke:

"When did you come?"

Chen Jinzhi didn't speak, his expression was indifferent.

Su Chengyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue:

"You're mistaken."

He took the petal out of his pocket and handed it to her.

"It's the rules of the game, it says. You know it's a networking event."

"yes, I know."

Chen Jinzhi replied.

Su Chengyi didn't expect her to answer at this time, so he was stunned for a moment, and then continued in a curtled manner:

"yes, so I think you might have misunderstood."

"Really?"

Chen Jinzhi smiled suddenly, laughing so hard that Su Chengyi's heart burst out, and he was about to jump out in the next second.

"You'll talk about it when you're ready."

Her tone was unusual, even with a hint of the usual tenderness.

It's not like a conversation after a thunderbolt Shura field on a sunny day, but it's like a weekday when you're talking on the phone.

But this untimely ordinariness only made Su Chengyi even more nervous.

Calm down.

Calm down and think about the scene just now.

Su Chengyi recalled it from beginning to end, making sure that there was nothing that would expose anything other than friendship games.

"She and I were drawn to play a game of bonding and needed to hug for a minute, and that's how it is.

If you have any doubts, I can confirm this with the staff, or the roommates present. ”

Chen Jinzhi's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he seemed to listen to his explanation casually.

"Su Chengyi."

“.”

Su Chengyi paused slightly, waiting for her next.

"Merry Christmas."

Chen Jinzhi said softly.

"I'm here just to say that to you.

Now, I'm leaving. ”

She took off the coat that belonged to Su Chengyi and handed it back to him.

Su Chengyi looked at her and didn't reach out to pick it up.

Chen Jinzhi waited for a few seconds, and then his fingers loosened, and his coat quickly slipped off her fingertips.

Su Chengyi had no choice but to bend down to catch it, raised his eyes and said helplessly:

"It's more than ten degrees below zero in the capital today, you will freeze and catch a cold like this."

Chen Jinzhi turned around and left.

Su Chengyi followed behind step by step, and his heart became more and more chaotic.

Because he couldn't understand what Chen Jinzhi meant at all.

Are you angry just because of this game? Or is she already aware of more?

If it's the former, that's fine.

If it's the latter, what is her attitude towards it, and what should she do?

The two walked one after the other, and at this time a night breeze blew, and Su Chengyi didn't put it on after taking back his coat, but only wore a sweater, which was about the same as Chen Jinzhi's body temperature at this time.

No kidding, it's like a winter swim in a moat.

This will not work.

Su Chengyi hurried forward two steps and wrapped Chen Jinzhi with his coat and head together.

She seemed to have the intention of resisting at first, and after no result, she stopped struggling, but just looked at him very quietly.

Su Chengyi took a deep breath and looked into her eyes.

"You can't go until the problem is solved."

"What's the problem?"

"The question you're thinking about right now."

He put on a posture of wanting to mess around, Chen Jinzhi closed his eyes and sighed softly.

"Su Chengyi."

"Huh?"

"Your reasons are perfect and seamless. I have nothing to doubt about it. ”

It was clear that there was still the second half of what she said, and Su Chengyi's heart rose to her throat.

"But can you convince yourself? With your character, you will hug other girls in public because of the so-called friendship game, will you? ”

Speaking of this, Chen Jinzhi's good-looking eyes finally had a trace of waves.

"If you do, then, is it because friendship lasts?"

The cracks hidden inside the porcelain were finally shattered, and tears flickered in the snow for a moment.

Su Chengyi felt that her disguise and excuse had also been exposed in front of her.

She didn't even need to read any clues from other things, find any flaws, just the tip of the iceberg from what she saw with her own eyes, it was enough to deduce the truth of everything.

She's too smart and too sober.

The so-called wisdom will hurt, and the love will not live.

Su Chengyi was almost nowhere to hide from her gaze, and his Adam's apple rolled a few times, still not knowing how to answer.

Mr. Chen's cell phone rang as a taxi slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

She even counted that time.

"When you figure it out, contact me."

Chen Jinzhi broke away from his arm, this time easily.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes, he was not good at words in emotional matters, and he was even more silent at this time.

Chen Jinzhi took off the coat covering his body and looked at him for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

She seemed to sigh softly, but as if she hadn't, the white mist dissipated into the air.

For a long time, the taxi driver on the side of the road waited impatiently and pressed the horn to urge.

Knowing that he wouldn't take it, Chen Jinzhi simply put the coat in his hand back on his shoulders, hesitated, and buttoned the collar for him.

Su Chengyi suddenly felt her fingertips tremble slightly, as if she was not as calm as she seemed.

"Merry Christmas."

He whispered.

Chen Jinzhi didn't answer, just turned around and got into the car.

The flight to Beijing is at 9 o'clock, and the time to leave Beijing is 10:10.

On her full schedule, a secret journey is like Feihong stepping on slush, without a trace.

The taillight of the taxi quickly disappeared at the intersection, and Su Chengyi stood in place, watching the black track of the wheels.

In the distance, the Christmas celebration bells were passed far away by the cold night breeze and reached his ears.

The snow is falling heavier and heavier.
