Sweetness

"What's going on? Don't worry, just speak slowly." Pan Chen's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Xu Qingning pursed her mouth, squatted on the big rock in the yard in front of the door, and said angrily: "There's no need to speak slowly, that's all! I confessed, she doesn't like me, we can't do it!"

"You went to find her?" Pan Chen couldn't hide his surprise and doubts in his words, "How do you know she doesn't like you? She said it herself?"

"It's about the same," Xu Qingning looked up at the pitch-black forest in front of her eyes, as if any emotion could be swallowed by the darkness, she swallowed, "Pan Chen, I feel bad."

Pan Chen found some words to comfort her, and finally asked: "Are you still at Tian Tian's house?"

"Ah."

"Then what are you thinking now?"

"What do you think?" Xu Qingning's legs went numb, and she stood up and walked around.

"It's just you and Tiantian in the future, what should we do?" Pan Chen couldn't help asking, "You plan to stay there for two or three days, right? How are you going to get along with her? You can't keep hiding."

Pan Chen knew Xu Qingning well, she was the most face-saving person, and it was a question of whether she could stay at Tian Tian's house after this kind of thing happened.

"Don't wait, I'll leave later."

"Don't talk nonsense, what time is it now? Don't play childish temper, even if you want to leave, you have to tell Tiantian, you go at this time, Tiantian will know what's going on with a guess. Ugly, do you plan to never see her again?" Pan Chen analyzed the pros and cons for her.

Xu Qingning was angry when she said that, after thinking about it carefully, she said, "Stay one more night, leave tomorrow morning!"

"How did you tell her?"

"Don't worry about it, you can't tell the truth, isn't it easy to make up lies?"

Pan Chen honestly didn't ask any more questions, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Then you'll just hide like this from now on? No contact? Never get in touch with each other?"

"Don't you like her?" Pan Chen expressed his incomprehension, "If you want me to say you like her, then chase her, what's the matter with hiding, you chase her!"

"Chasing a fart!" Xu Qingning retorted, "If I chase me again, I just don't want my face. I still feel ashamed and flustered."

Pan Chen was silent and thought for a while: "How much do you like her?"

Xu Qingning paused, as if she had been silent for half a century, before slowly answering: "I don't like it much, anyway, it's just for a short while, so forget it if you say so." Her tone was calm and breezy.

"Oh."

"Well, that's it." Xu Qingning hung up the phone hastily.

Blowing the biting cold wind at night, Xu Qingning finally felt the truth from the sky full of illusions. She rubbed her cheeks, adjusted her facial expression and entered the room.

Xu Qingning didn't look for Tian Tian, ​​and went straight to Tian Tian's room to get her bag. She thought it was impossible for the two of them to sleep on the same bed tonight.

It's funny to think about it, when she put the bag away, she was still thinking, maybe she can do something while lying together after expressing her heart to each other, but fortunately there are two days of weekends left, there is enough time, and she is not in a hurry to leave.

Xu Qingning smiled self-deprecatingly, pushed open the door, and found Tian Tian in the room, she was taken aback, and quickly calmed down: "Are you there?"

"Are you going to take a shower?" Tian Tian asked her.

Xu Qingning responded, "Ah."

Xu Qingning walked around her as if nothing had happened, and the moment she took the bag, she didn't know how to speak.I thought it would be invisible, but changing the bed so pretentiously, it seemed like something really happened to her.

In the end, Xu Qingning just took a change of clothes from her bag, put her phone on the table, and said to Tian Tian, ​​who was folding clothes, "I skipped class and was caught by the counselor. He ordered me to go back to school immediately. I have to leave tomorrow morning." gone."

"Huh? Will it be serious?"

"I don't know, it's not serious, that's all." Xu Qingning said in a nonchalant tone, "I bought a ticket for tomorrow morning, so I'll let you know."

"I'll contact Uncle Liu tomorrow morning to take you to the high-speed rail station."

"No need," Xu Qingning didn't want to refuse, "I came here by taxi today, and I left the driver's number, and I contacted him to pick me up tomorrow."

"it is good."

Xu Qingning wanted to say something, but felt that there was nothing to say, so she grabbed the clothes in her hand and walked outside the house.

In the dead of night, the two of them finished packing and lay on the same bed, thinking differently.

Xu Qingning tried her best to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep, but the past scenes frantically dangled in front of her eyes like a marquee, trying to find a sense of existence. She thought, what the hell is going on!

Why do you think that Tian Tian likes her? Thinking about it carefully, Tian Tian is completely polite and humble in taking care of her, without the restraint and presumptuousness of liking at all.

She doesn't look like a person who fell in love at all, but she still wants to think so.

The more Xu Qingning thought about it, the colder her heart became, and the colder she became, the more she thought about it.

About an hour after the lights were turned off, Xu Qingning heard Tian Tian ask, "Are you asleep?"

Xu Qingning was in a daze for a while, and immediately pretended to be asleep, but a few seconds later she couldn't control her response: "Not yet."

"I can't sleep either." Tian Tian replied.

Xu Qingning opened her eyes, letting the darkness of the room into her eyes, she asked, "Why can't I sleep?"

"I wonder if I did something wrong," Tian Tian said slowly, "If I hadn't looked for you at the beginning, I would have stayed in the mountains by myself..."

Xu Qingning seemed to be burning with sparks, and interrupted her words in excitement, a little indiscriminately: "Do you regret knowing me?"

"No," Tian Tian denied, and answered slowly, "I was just thinking that since I appeared, you seem to have been forced to do certain things, being forced, cheated, and... it is always my responsibility."

Tian Tian tried to think from Xu Qingning's point of view, but she couldn't sleep at all. She seemed to have unconsciously changed Xu Qingning's life. She should have been wanton, but was often constrained by reality.

"Why do you have to blame yourself for everything? What does it have to do with you? There is no compulsion, who can force me to do something I don't want to do, it has nothing to do with you, don't think about it anymore!"

At the end, Xu Qingning emphasized again: "Don't think about it, go to sleep!"

"Oh."

Xu Qingning tried her best to close her eyes, but she still couldn't fall asleep, and regardless of whether Tian Tian could hear her, she explained: "About what I said before, I like your words a little bit. I don't like you much, so just pretend it's nothing, don't take it to heart."

There was a boundless and long silence in the room, just when Xu Qingning thought it was impossible for her to hear Tian Tian's reply, she responded softly: "Oh."

The next morning, Xu Qingning left without letting Tian Tian see her off, and left this place alone.

As the car drove forward, the scenery on the side of the road receded by the window. Xu Qingning stared out of focus at the frames that disappeared before her eyes, thinking that she would probably never come to this place again.

Halfway through the journey, the driver suddenly asked her: "Girl, yesterday I said I wanted to confess my love, did you succeed?"

Xu Qingning smiled: "No one was found."

"Hey, what a waste of work!" The driver uncle sighed for her.

Xu Qingning looked out the window and said in a daze, "Yeah, it's been a waste of time."

After a first snowfall, the annual New Year's Eve is ushered in.

Where to spend the New Year's Eve has become a topic of most concern to young people recently.

The popular places have been searched all over, but unfortunately, there are flaws in all of them, which makes people not very satisfied.Therefore, a newly opened Baiyun Restaurant in the center of Jincheng City has become a new place for young people to celebrate the New Year.

Baiyun Restaurant is located on the upper floors of the building. The circular floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the high-altitude scenery in front of you. The decoration style is elegant, mainly white, supplemented by blue. When the weather is good, the clear sky outside and the blue sky and white clouds inside are beautiful.

This restaurant is also the best viewing spot for the New Year's Eve fireworks show. It has an excellent view and tickets are hard to come by.

When Xu Qingning arrived at the restaurant, her little friend was already there, waving at her excitedly, and Xu Qingning walked towards the long table in the corner.

The air conditioner in the restaurant was fully turned on, Xu Qingning took off her coat as soon as she was seated, pushed the sleeves up her arms, and looked at them: "You are quite capable, you have already booked all the seats here."

Qu Yiming laughed: "Qu Feng's relationship was opened by his brother."

Xu Qingning looked at Qu Feng: "Then be more conscious later, don't let us talk about it."

Qu Feng said very kindly: "Okay, I will pay the bill today, and you can eat it openly."

Xu Qingning looked down at the menu, and listened to Qu Yiming whispering: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Ah Suan changed his style again? Are you going to go the route of pure female college students?"

Xu Qingning smiled: "Why are you a big man staring at what I wear all day long? Why, do you envy me for wearing skirts?"

The others laughed, but Qu Yiming was not annoyed: "Isn't it because you look good today, I want to praise you."

He lowered his voice: "The man at the next table just peeked at you and was caught by his girlfriend. At this time, he is tortured and tortured. You are quite at ease in taking this disaster."

Xu Qingning didn't even bother to lift her eyes: "None of my business."

White tight-fitting sweater, black short skirt, and a pair of over-the-knee boots. Pan Chen really does not blame the boy at the next table for being dumbfounded. She also asked in a low voice: "You don't wear your shirt and jeans anymore. ?”

"Whoever wears it should wear it," Xu Qingning replied, "Life is too short to be sexy."

The food was served soon, and Xu Qingning listened to their chats while eating, most of them were talking about interesting things that happened recently, and the topic of chatting turned around to her: "Ah Suan is really boring, I can't shout it out, it's going to It's not New Year's Eve, maybe when we can get together."

"That's right, it's been almost a month or two."

"People go to the gym and library, how can they have time to get together with us?"

After they were all complaining, Xu Qingning said, "Don't you need to study?"

"Then we study during the day, study at night, study on weekends, and still have time to play."

"I don't have time," Xu Qingning was annoyed, "There are so many classes and it's difficult, where is the time?" She took a sip of the orange juice, disgusted with the taste, and put it down again.

"No need to quibble, I've wanted to say it a long time ago, if you hide from us because of Tiantian, it's totally unnecessary, what's the relationship between us, even if something happens, we'll stand by your side, there's no need, really."

After Qu Yiming finished speaking, the table was silent for a few seconds, only Xu Qingning was still eating as if nothing had happened: "I'm busy." She replied.

"Then you are so busy that you don't even have time to chat in the group?"

"Yes."

In fact, most of them know what's going on, but just because they know, they can't help not understanding: what the hell is going on.

Even if you're broken in love, what's the point of ignoring them?Is it necessary to isolate yourself from the world after falling out of love?What's more, this is not a lovelorn, it's stillborn, isn't it?

After a long time, they became angry and dissatisfied, and vowed to seek justice for being neglected from Xu Qingning.

But she actually answered 'yes' openly?

"Isn't it just Tian Tian?" Qu Feng said, "If you like it, chase after it, if you don't like it, forget it, is it necessary?"

Cen Xi also chimed in: "That's right, if you still like us, we'll chase after you for you, and we'll always be able to catch you."

"How about we go to the mountains again and stay there for ten days and half a month, and you and Tian Tian will slowly develop a relationship."

Xu Qingning raised her head, and finally no longer had an indifferent attitude. She was a little annoyed when she listened carefully: "Are you all finished? What Tiantian? I forgot all about it! It's none of my business! Chasing a fart!"

"That's right," Pan Chen came forward to smooth things over, "Didn't we agree to discuss where to go during the winter vacation? Why are you talking about this again, Qu Yiming, you are a good leader!"

Qu Yiming said smoothly: "Where do you go during the winter vacation? It's easy to handle. You can play whatever you want, and you can go wherever you want."

Cen Xi suggested: "How about skiing? I heard that a new ski resort has opened in a neighboring province. Let's go there for a few days? There are also hot springs."

"Okay, I want to play too." Qu Feng said.

Pan Chen frowned: "Skiing is a bit dangerous, right? We have no experience."

"Yes, Ah Suan doesn't like to play such exciting games anymore, lest she scold her to death again, you should hurry up and think of another one." Qu Yiming also said.

"You want to go skiing?" Xu Qingning only asked, seeing them nodding, she said without objection, "Then go skiing."

Qu Yiming wanted to ask something, but Pan Chen stared at him and took back the words.

After the meal, the New Year's Eve fireworks exploded in the air, and the gorgeous colors came into view, and Xu Qingning's eyes showed a little bit of starlight.

**

After returning from the ski resort, Nian's footsteps were getting closer and closer. Xu Qingning pushed the suitcase and went straight back to Xu's house.

Handing the suitcase to her aunt, Xu Qingning poured a glass of water, suddenly heard voices outside, was taken aback, probed out, but didn't see anything, sighed to herself for thinking, drank it all in one gulp, and went back to the room to catch up on sleep.

This time I woke up, it was almost dinner time.

Xu Qingning changed her clothes and opened the door to go out. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the person on the right side of the corridor, and turned her gaze there in disbelief.

and then freeze--

"You're back? Did you have fun?"

Tian Tian was smiling at her.

She was wearing a ponytail, a bright yellow sweater and light blue jeans, and a pair of fluffy cotton slippers. She had bright eyes and smiled at her.

Xu Qingning touched the doorknob, pushed it back, closed it, and retreated into the room.

what happened?
