first love

However, after dinner, the two accidentally ran into Yue Qiu on the way back to school.

She was sitting at a round table outside a cold drink shop with no image, holding a tissue tightly in her hand, crying hoarsely.People passing by cast their eyes curiously, but she didn't realize it.

"Yue Qiu?" Wen Lan approached cautiously.

Hearing the familiar voice, the other party turned his head, the crying stopped suddenly, and then turned into low sobs.

Although he didn't like this person who was always clinging to Wen Lan, Xie Nanqun regarded her as a friend of the two, so he also sat beside her: "Are you broken in love or were you beaten?"

"Bah!" Yue Qiu sniffed, "Who can hit me? It's so annoying, how did I just meet you..." She wiped her face carefully with a tissue, but she didn't cry any more, and took out the little girl from her bag. Mirror and makeup bag, start to touch up makeup by myself.

Wen Lan couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, the other party didn't have an emotional breakdown. Maybe he just encountered something sad, so he forgot to take care of his image for a while.

It didn't take long for him to take care of himself again, Yue Qiu brushed his hair, waved for the clerk, and ordered a few glasses of fruit juice at room temperature. "Sit with me and have a chat." She sighed, her eyes drooping. Even though she had changed her makeup, she still couldn't completely cover up the traces of crying.

The sky has darkened, the sky has been dyed magnificent red and purple, and the noise of the night is slowly kicking off.The neon lights are flickering, and the light is sprinkled on the ground. People's footsteps crush it, but they can't, it is still a blurred light.Wen Lan sipped his drink and considered his tone: "So what happened?"

Yue Qiu pursed his lips: "Today my dad called me and said that my friend got married. I have known her for a long time, we have known each other since we were young, and I didn't have much contact with her after I moved here." Said At this point, she smiled, but there was a bit of helplessness and sadness in the smile, "She is a few years younger than me, probably in the third year of high school, and married a man who is almost 40 years old."

Now even Xie Nanqun, who wasn't listening very attentively, said in surprise, "So much age difference?"

"The other party's family is rich." Yue Qiu twitched the corners of his mouth, "She is married, and she will live a worry-free life in the future. Of course she is willing."

Wen Lan had also heard about similar things in his hometown, but he didn't feel angry, but was powerless: "You are very sad."

She took a big sip of juice, but her mouth became more and more bitter: "If I could persuade her before, or say a few more words, let her not think of herself so low... Forget it, she actually has that kind of character, Xiaocheng Everyone is like this." If she didn't have a pair of enlightened parents and her family situation gradually improved, maybe—

"Isn't that girl under the age of marriage?" Xie Nanqun frowned.

"You can live together first, without obtaining a certificate. Now there are people who are in a relationship and live together, which seems normal to outsiders." Yue Qiu touched the bright red nails on his left hand, which were just done yesterday, and there are flower-like patterns on the edges.But her friend's hands are clean, because she has to learn to be a virtuous wife, so she doesn't need fancy things, she only needs to cook, wash, and take care of men.

She can't do anything, she can't argue with her anger, she can't fight with her sorrow.

The girl who seemed carefree on weekdays now had a bitter face, and Wen Lan felt uncomfortable just looking at it.How many of the so-called family members are sincere?The rhythm of the small city is very slow, and life in it is very comfortable, but there are also many strange things that happen, and everyone gradually gets used to it.

So Wen Lan worked hard to get into Huada University, and didn't plan to have any contact with that "family" in the future.

Sad stories are different, but everyone can experience sadness, either bear it or run forward until it can't catch up with you.

"Oh, I'm fine." Yue Qiu blinked, "I can't interfere in her life. If she wants to run away, where can she go? No matter how bad it is, she can come to me. Her family didn't lock her up either. Or it seems like they tied her to get married in the news." She licked her dry lips and took another sip of juice, "My dad told me that when he received the invitation, he was stunned, but he was younger than his daughter So many people are going to marry. What can she do if she wants to?"

Yue Qiu repeated the phrase "she is willing" again.

When he was in the north, Xie Nanqun's life circle was not exposed to this kind of thing, and he had never heard of it.He pondered for a while, then said to Yue Qiu: "It's enough if you don't want to."

"Haha." Yue Qiu rested his chin, and stretched his brows a little, "Of course, I'm the woman who wants to catch up with the president of the student union!"

Seeing that the other party had regained his spirits, Wen Lan breathed a sigh of relief.Yue Qiu is one of the few friends he has a particularly good relationship with. Although he is not as good as Xie Nanqun, he is also in a detached position. What's more, Yue Qiu always chats with him privately and talks about his secret love for the president, which is very nice to Wen Lan. It has reference value.

Or use an inaccurate word to describe it, the other party is like his "best friend".

"Have you had dinner yet?" he asked.

"Oh, not yet, I will order a takeaway later."

"Let's take you back." Xie Nanqun also raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a bit of malice, "Your eyes are swollen, remember to go back and apply it."

Yue Qiu quickly took out the mirror and took a picture: "Damn it! It's really... let's go, if you meet the president, it will be miserable... My image..."

At this time, the night has completely enveloped the earth, but there are a few twinkling stars in the darkness, as if they are pointing the way for the lost.

Back in the dormitory, Wen Lan only felt exhausted, but suddenly there was a very oppressive feeling approaching behind him: "Little basket, is your home also in a small city?"

"Well, it will take a long time to go back by car." He thought for a while, "But I shouldn't go back very often, it's not worth it."

Xie Nanqun put one hand on the back of the chair, and put the other on the other side's table: "Your family...wouldn't want you to go back to marry a wife after graduation, would you?" Along the way, he was thinking about this strange question, and the more he thought about it, the more he got entangled.

Wen Lan was stunned for a moment, and quickly laughed out loud: "How is that possible! My father has passed away for a long time, and my mother... has a new family now, so she won't talk to me. As for my grandma, she probably only wants to let me Cousin gets into a good university, finds a good job in the future, and marries a fair-skinned young lady." Although he had been hiding it before, at this time, he still revealed something, in a joking tone.

"...It's okay." Xie Nanqun didn't know what to say.He felt that the other party had uncovered the scar in his heart, and it was just a corner, which also made him a little at a loss.I felt aggrieved for the other party, but also felt lucky - those people didn't know how to read well, and fortunately they were blind. "The question I asked was too stupid, hey, go to bed early tonight, and try to get my IQ back."

Amused by the other party's exaggerated words, Wen Lan curled his lips and said, "I want to rest early, too tired."

Happy, helpless, and finally comfortable.
