Ren Shang searched for several times and finally found Zuo Yueyao in the school basketball court. When he found him, his white shirt was already soaked with sweat. In the middle of the night, he did not return to the dormitory, but was playing basketball here alone. Seeing that he was exhausted and exhausted, he must have been playing non-stop from beginning to end, as if he wanted to drive something out of his body in this way.
The tired person sat in a corner of the stands. That position looked familiar. Ren Shang suddenly remembered that when he first met Su Xian, she was sitting in this corner with that girl Lu Xiran. At that time, the two of them were like little girls who knew nothing. Their eyes were full of curiosity about everything. They were so innocent that people couldn't help but want to bully them.
This is probably why he always wants to bully Lu Xiran.
That encounter, in the blink of an eye, has become a thing of the past. Time really flies so fast that it catches us off guard.
Zuo Yueyao doesn't smoke and doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, but at this moment, he looked up at Ren Shang and the first thing he asked was: "Do you have cigarettes?"
Ren Shang touched the cigarette in his pocket and for the first time was confused about whether he should hand it over. Zuo Yueyao stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."
Ren Shang handed him the cigarette and watched him unskillfully take out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. After he lit it for him, he took a sharp puff and choked and coughed repeatedly. Ren Shang sighed, "If you don't know how to smoke, don't smoke. I don't like it anyway."
He reached out to grab it and throw it away, but Zuo Yueyao got there before him and took the cigarette away. He spoke in a weak voice, "No matter how much you like something, there will be times when you don't like it. Just get used to it."
Ren Shang sat cross-legged next to him: "Is it really over?"
"Um."
"I really don't understand what this woman is thinking." I'm still very angry when I think about it. If it wasn't for the fact that she was a woman that day, I really wanted to beat her up.
"It's not important anymore." Smoke was curling around his fingertips, and he began to slowly accept the pungent smell. He put it in his mouth and took two more puffs. After grasping the essence, it turned out not to be that difficult. It was like some things. Maybe you can't accept it at first, but you will accept it slowly. Reason will not allow him not to accept it. "If she wants to break up, then let her break up. There is no point in a relationship that is forced."
"Do you want me to check which bastard is having an affair with her? You can't touch a woman, but you can't touch that bastard either. We should take revenge if we have grudges, and vent our anger first. He dared to mess with my brother's woman. He thinks his life is too long!"
"Don't tarnish your identity as a talented and romantic man from Nanjing University." He said with disdain and loneliness: "Since she is determined to break up with me, then who she likes and who she is with has nothing to do with me."
"Just be stubborn. It would be nice if you really think so."
Others don't understand, but Ren Shang knows it best. Over the years, Zuo Yueyao has been guarding this one woman, and has never had any involvement or ambiguity with other women. This simply makes Ren Shang feel incredible. He is obviously so outstanding, yet he can be good to only one woman for so many years. Compared with him, Ren Shang feels that he can be turned into scum in seconds.
Some gossipers privately discussed how long Zuo Yueyao could keep his eyes on Su Xian, but who could have thought that in the end, Zuo Yueyao would be dumped by Su Xian. While Ren Shang found it unbelievable, he always felt like he had a lot of anger in his heart that he had no place to vent.
They went there and had a midnight snack. It was the first time that Zuo Yueyao got drunk. Ren Shang carried him back to the dormitory. He heard him mumbling all the way. The specific content of his words was vague and he couldn't hear clearly. He only asked various questions.
Ren Shang also wanted to know why, but who knows the answer
In order to make up for his previous mistakes, Su Xian went to the welfare home alone to see if he had any luck.
Lai Yun was not as happy as usual when he saw Su Xian. Instead, he seemed a little disappointed. Su Xian thought that he was upset because of his breaking his promise to her last time. She had prepared an apology, but Lai Yun asked her first: "Mom, are you and Dad separated?"
Lai Yun has always called her mom and Zuo Yueyao dad. Su Xian has become accustomed to such names, but today, these names sounded particularly sarcastic and harsh.
Su Xian forced a smile: "No, my parents have always been very nice."
"Don't lie to me. Adults can't lie casually." Laiyun said in a dull tone, "Dad told me yesterday when he came to see me. He said that you didn't want him anymore."
Zuo Yueyao is really
"Will I no longer have a father and a mother in the future?"
She was really sad, and a tear soon fell. Su Xian felt bad too, so she held Laiyun on her lap and coaxed him gently, "Mom promises you, no matter whether mom and dad are together or not, we will always be Laiyun's parents, and this will never change. We will still visit Laiyun often as before, bring him delicious food, beautiful clothes, and all kinds of interesting books. We will watch Laiyun grow up safely. In the future, find a boyfriend as outstanding as dad, okay?"
The child was indeed easy to coax. Laiyun burst into laughter and said, "Dad said the same thing and even made a pinky promise with me. Mom, you should make a pinky promise with me too."
Su Xian stretched out her little finger and looked at Lai Yun's innocent smile. She felt uncomfortable in her heart. For a moment, she was confused. Since this was destined to be the ending, why did God let them meet? Why should they fall in love since they had met
How many days had she not seen Zuo Yueyao? Counting, it should be twenty-four days. Since that day, she has not seen him again. Sometimes she would walk the road he would walk on, but she had never met him by chance. She wanted to see him again, but she was afraid to see him. In this school where she could see him whenever she looked up, she lowered her head countless times, but she never saw Zuo Yueyao again.
Su Xian was walking aimlessly on the street and almost bumped into someone.
Should she be happy or not about meeting this person
Zuo Yueyao seemed to have lost some weight, but his charm remained the same. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was so strange and piercing. Beside him was He Xinwan.
There has never been a time like this when seeing them standing side by side hurts my eyes.
He Xinwan didn't say anything, but just glanced at the two of them, as if asking Zuo Yueyao for his opinion: "Should I go over and wait for you first?"
Where are they going? Su Xian really wanted to ask, but what identity could she use to ask? She had successfully put herself in the position of the ex-girlfriend.
"No need." Zuo Yueyao answered indifferently, with no expression of joy, anger, sorrow or happiness on his face, and he didn't even want to keep his eyes on Su Xian.
"If you have anything to say, let's have a good chat. You can't..."
"Nothing." Zuo Yueyao was a little unhappy, as if he didn't want to bring up any topic related to Su Xian: "I don't like to force people."
He Xinwan left first. Before leaving, she considerately took the bag from Zuo Yueyao's hand. It seemed that they were going to attend some party.
Only then did I understand that not seeing each other is the best thing.
Meeting each other is torture for both of them.
Su Xian didn't speak for a long time because she didn't know what to say. Zuo Yueyao seemed to be doing it on purpose. She didn't speak, and he didn't speak either. He just stood straight, blocking her way, and didn't intend to move aside.
"I'm leaving first." There was no point in staying any longer, so Su Xian lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.
"Su Xian." He called out the person who was about to escape by her full name. The girl he had called her in the past seemed so precious at this moment.
Su Xian stopped, his heart trembling. It turned out that becoming a stranger was such a simple thing.
"Take good care of yourself."
He only left her with these words, and left without looking back. Su Xian turned around, looked at his tall and resolute back, and tears fell down her face. She had experienced countless grievances since she was a child, but never like now, her tears became so cheap, coming without warning, and she couldn't control them no matter what.
For a moment, she almost chased after him regardless of everything, hugged him from behind, and told him that she was wrong.
But she didn't have the courage or the confidence. She trampled on his self-esteem in the most ruthless way. In his heart, he probably hated her.
It was not known whether Su Xian was deliberately avoiding Zuo Yueyao or Zuo Yueyao was deliberately avoiding Su Xian. Su Xian no longer went to the places they had been to before and put all his energy into all the things related to his upcoming graduation. Zuo Yueyao continued to be busy with his studies and returned to the dormitory less and less. In the end, even Ren Shang hardly saw him.
It is said that Zuo Yueyao rented a house outside the school, and there are also rumors that he rented the house with He Xinwan. As to whether it is true or not, Su Xian does not know. Occasionally, he can read from Lu Xiran's hesitant expression that she still has hope.
Life without Zuo Yueyao doesn't seem to have changed much. Only those who are in it know best that without Zuo Yueyao, it's like losing the most important soul. The routine life has lost its most brilliant colors and has become dull and irrelevant.
Lu Xiran pointed at the bunch of flowers on the windowsill that had long since withered and dried up, and asked Su Xian cautiously: "Xianxian, do you want to throw this away?"
Su Xian stared at the bouquet of flowers for a long time and said, "Throw it away."
Lu Xiran stretched out her hand for a long time and then retracted it: "You should throw it away yourself." Thinking of the night when she came back with flowers, Su Xian cried bitterly. When he asked her, she said nothing and just kept crying. After a heart-wrenching cry, he asked her: What should I do if Zuo Yueyao is really gone in the future
Lu Xiran didn't know how to answer this kind of question. She had never experienced what it would be like to be without someone. When Qin Chu passed away, he didn't feel anything. Instead, he felt that life was much easier. But Qin Chu could not be compared with Zuo Yueyao. Zuo Yueyao and Su Xian were close friends.
After so long, Lu Xiran still felt that Su Xian's giving up Zuo Yueyao was a great regret in his life. She always felt that Su Xian had her own reasons, but since she didn't say it, Lu Xiran didn't ask. Her forced smiles these days and the tears she secretly shed under the night sky were probably all she shed in this life.
"Xianxian, you follow me"
"Okay Xiran, let's not talk about it, okay?"
Su Xian knew that Lu Xiran felt sorry for her, but perhaps there was nothing wrong with such an ending. Zuo Yueyao was shining in his professional field, and she would soon enter society. The distance between them would grow farther and farther until they disappeared from each other's lives.
What they didn't know was that this disappearance would last for seven years.
What they didn't know was that seven years later, they would meet each other again unexpectedly in some corner of some city, and in these seven years, which were enough to make a person forget each other completely, they still retained their memories of each other.
