As we walked and talked, the road became extremely short and time seemed to fly by very quickly.
When we arrived at the alley where Su Nuo's house was, it was completely dark.
The street lights in the alley exude a gentle warmth, making the road feel particularly warm.
This is an old street. Although there are not many people walking on it, every household is very close to each other, so it is not too remote.
Su Nuo stood at the entrance of the alley and glanced in, and could only say to Gu Chenglan: "Just stop here. My brother will probably come out to pick me up soon."
Although it wasn't too late, I didn't say a specific time when I would return home when I left.
But as long as Su Nuo didn't come back when it got dark, Su Yang would come out every once in a while to see if his sister would have to walk alone at night when she came back.
Gu Chenglan said "hmm" but did not turn around and leave. Instead, he looked towards the back street next to the alley.
Most of that street is the back wall of the houses in this alley, and only a few families have opened small doors on the back streets. There are no street lights, and the light on the street comes from other people's windows.
Su Nuo didn't know what Gu Chenglan was looking at, so he turned his head curiously.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chenglan suddenly took her arm and took a few steps forward. When she regained consciousness, the two of them were already standing in the shadow of a high wall.
Just like the last time they talked on the street corner, Gu Chenglan was facing Sunuo, his tall figure standing in front of her.
"You, I..." Su Nuo lowered his head and bit his lip, nervous and not knowing what to say.
"Turn around." Gu Chenglan took a deep look at Sunuo and pushed her back to turn around.
In front of Su Nuo was a dusty wall, and her shy little thoughts suddenly became a little dusty.
Gu Chenglan looked at the back of Su Nuo's head, reached out and smoothed her soft, silky hair, gently pulled it off, and pulled off her hair tie.
"I'm not very good at it, but I want to try again." Gu Chenglan said, taking out a hair tie from his trouser pocket.
Gu Chenglan's movements were clumsy, but careful. He ran his slender fingers through Sunuo's hair, gently followed it down, gathered the hair together and held it with one hand, and tied the small orange bow hair tie in Sunuo's hair.
"Is it a little tight?" Gu Chenglan pinched the hair tie and asked softly.
"No, no, it's pretty good." Su Nuo shook his hair and felt his scalp was numb.
Gu Chenglan tied her hair into pigtails again. Why did it feel so sweet
"It's getting late, let's go back." Gu Chenglan turned Suno Nuo around and looked up and down, only to realize that he had not tied Su Nuo's hair up, and there was still a strand of hair hanging naughtily in front of his forehead.
Gu Chenglan gently lifted up the strand of hair. The hair was as smooth as silk that was about to slip away from his fingers.
Gu Chenglan put the strand of hair behind Sunuo's ear and moved her lips but didn't say anything.
It was too early and she was too young. It's better to wait a little longer, it won't be time.
Su Nuo raised his eyes to look at Gu Chenglan, and immediately saw a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, and his face instantly turned red.
"Gu Chenglan, come on." Su Nuo raised a small fist and gestured: "See you in Beihua."
"Okay." Gu Chenglan stretched out his big hand, clenched it into a solid fist, and lightly bumped Suno's small fist. It's like making a silent agreement.
Su Nuo walked into the alley and looked back to see that Gu Chenglan hadn't left yet. He was always like this, always looking at himself after entering the door, or seeing Su Yang coming to pick him up before leaving.
