"Thank you for your trouble. I saw your design." Yang Yi said politely after sitting in the car, "I didn't expect you to still remember the joke from school."

"That's not a joke to me." Chen Huanyue originally had some expectation on his face, but it dissipated as soon as she said her polite words.

Yang Yi wanted to laugh, but instead there was a bitter smile on his lips.

Seeing the design, she immediately realized it was Chen Huanyue. The reason why she made an appointment with him was because she wanted to talk about the problems between them.

She is not someone who likes to play with feelings, and she doesn't want to be such a person. She doesn't want to hang on to him all the time, without rejecting him or giving him a clear answer - even though she has clearly rejected him once.

Moreover, he guarded her like a jade, and she was the one who left him without saying goodbye, and... many of them made her feel as if she had some kind of responsibility for him.

She thought about it for a moment, but still chose to get straight to the point: "I have a boyfriend now, so..."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Huanyue interrupted her directly: "Let's talk after eating, okay? I'm still hungry."

Yang Yi opened his mouth and saw his tight lips in the rearview mirror.

She was speechless.

On the busy road, neon lights of various colors on the roadside flashed past the car window.

That was four years ago, and they were rolling over the road in the park.

It was evening, the sky was dark, and the late spring wind was very warm and gentle. They were walking along the willow bank in the park, holding hands.

They had been dating for three months at that time, and her palms were no longer sweaty and her heartbeat was pounding like when she held hands for the first time, but she still felt ashamed when his slightly rough hand was held in his.

There are yellow calluses on her palms that cannot be removed no matter how hard they are. Her fingers are slightly thicker due to years of hard work, and if you look closely, you can see that there are various small, deep and shallow scars on them. This is not a beautiful pair of hands.

As for his hands, the bones are even, white and delicate, slender and strong. Just seeing these hands, one can't help but imagine the face of its owner in their mind. These are the hands of a young man who has never done any heavy work. Perhaps the only heavy work he has done is holding a racket. And these hands are very sexy and make people dream.

Class is reflected in all aspects, and this hand holding each other is just the most inconspicuous aspect among them.

Chen Huanyue talked about his childhood and read a fairy tale called "Magic Tree House". The general content is that two brothers and sisters found a magic tree house in the forest that can travel through time and space. After entering the tree house, the brother and sister traveled through time and space and met When Mr. Morgan turns into a mouse, in order to save him, he embarks on an adventure that spans different times and places.

"...After reading this, I really wanted to have my own tree house. Of course, at that time, I already knew that there is no magic in this world..." At that time, he was still a little boyish, holding her with his right hand, Her left hand gestured excitedly in the air, "...I chose the largest and thickest tree in the backyard, and drew my design for the tree house with colored pens on the paper. Then my mother asked the designer and construction team to help I built it..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his words might "offend" the girl around him - he had already secretly investigated, she had been abandoned by her parents and had been living under the influence of others. She had lived in poverty since she was a child and suffered from the indifference of others - he watched carefully. Glancing at Yang Yi, she just smiled and listened to him, as if she was immersed in the world he described.

"Actually, the tree house is not interesting," he said in an attempt to conceal it. "I played with it for a few days and then forgot about it..."

"Really? It sounds very interesting. Is that tree house still there?" Yang Yi asked yearningly.

"Here! I'll take you back next time during the holiday, okay?" Chen Huanyue squeezed her hand.

Yang Yi was a little nervous and seemed to want to pull his hand back, but Chen Huanyue held it tighter.

She lowered her head and said after a while: "It's a bit too fast and it's not appropriate."

The two of them walked along the willow bank in silence for an unknown amount of time. The sunset had already set at the end of the Western Mountain, and the sky was dotted with stars from east to west.

"When I was a kid, I borrowed my neighbor's brother's comic book "Journey to the West" to read, and I was particularly envious of the monkeys' Water Curtain Cave in the Flower and Fruit Mountain..." Yang Yi suddenly said, "They are in the mountains. They pick some fruits to eat every day when they are hungry and thirsty. Then go to the stream to drink some water, unrestrained and free... What is the Water Curtain Cave like? I guess it should be relatively humid inside. After all, the entrance of the cave is a waterfall, so don't you always pour water into it? "

"I guess so. Journey to the West says that there is a bridge behind the waterfall, which is connected to the Water Curtain Cave. There are flowers and trees in the cave, and there is a stone room. There are stone pots, stone stoves, stone bowls, stone basins, stone beds, Stone bench... But there were no glass windows at that time, and the entrance to the cave was covered by a waterfall. Wasn't the cave dark and humid? If you lived in it for a long time, you might get sick!" Chen Huanyue also said.

The two of them were like children in kindergarten, talking to each other, imagining the imaginary scene in a fantasy novel, as if there really was such a place in the world.

"If I had such a cave, I should divert the stream into the cave and use it as domestic water. Then dig out a bedroom next door to isolate the moisture. It would be better to have a fireplace, because the nights are very cold, especially in winter. Even more unbearable..." She was talking excitedly, but suddenly her voice dropped again.

Chen Huanyue wanted to hold her in his arms, but he was worried that he would scare her, so he had to hold her hand tightly until his palms became sweaty.

"It will come true, it will definitely come true." He said firmly.

Once he graduates, he will give her everything he has never gotten, everything he has ever wanted, or even dared not think about. He will put the entire world he owns in front of her - at that time, in his heart He swore secretly.

"Let's eat here!"

The car slowly stopped at the intersection of a night market. Chen Huanyue stuck his head out and took a look. The night market was not very popular because it had only been less than a month since the Sky Channel incident, and commercial activities and people's lives had not yet returned to normal.

But there are already some people in the night market. After all, everyone has to live.

"Oh, okay." Yang Yi came back from his thoughts and realized that Chen Huanyue had parked the car in the night market parking lot.

In case anyone recognized him, Yang Yi made some changes to his face and put on a mask. She was already familiar with all this.

Chen Huanyue was obviously still a little uncomfortable with her new face, but he tried his best to pretend to be normal.

"Sizzling squid, you used to love it. Do you want some?" Chen Huanyue asked, looking into her eyes because it was the only thing he was familiar with - but it was different from before.

"I've eaten, you can just eat." Yang Yi refused.

She was somewhat aware of Chen Huanyue's purpose in bringing her here, but it ran counter to her goal of asking him out - she asked him out to resolve the disconnected relationship between the two, and he should live his own life. , instead of wasting time and energy on her.

She always felt that she was responsible for his current state - this kind of responsibility and guilt prompted her to solve the matter personally, and to solve it neatly and without leaving any thoughts for him.

Seeing Chen Huanyue going to buy sugar-roasted chestnuts again - which she used to love - Yang Yi grabbed his arm and looked into his eyes seriously, "Huanyue, that's enough, stop the loss in time!" She said in a calm and indifferent tone, "We're done."

Chen Huanyue's breathing suddenly tightened, and his throat trembled up and down.

People come and go in the night market, and sometimes pedestrians look curiously at the man and woman standing in the middle of the road.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe a few seconds, a minute, or maybe as long as a year, Chen Huanyue asked in a hoarse voice:

"It's Chris Norton, right?"
