The correct posture of gratitude

High school students gather every year, and this year the party is held on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

In Fang Yu's absence, Chu Yan looked alone.

When he was in high school, he was too focused on working and studying. Apart from Fang Yu, he didn't have any close friends.

Especially for this kind of occasion, he and Fang Yu used to come together, but now he is alone, it seems a bit uncomfortable.

I didn't expect to see Xie Xiaoran from class two at the party.I heard that she came to join in the fun with a girl who was close to her class.

Many students know that Xie Xiaoran likes Chu Yan. At this time, most of them have adult beauty in mind.

So, Xie Xiaoran, who got the chance, didn't care about the shyness at all, and sat down beside Chu Yan generously.

"I came here only after inquiring about Fang Yu's absence." Xie Xiaoran approached Chu Yan and said in a low voice.

Chu Yan was speechless.

Xie Xiaoran continued: "Really, that guy is too annoying. If he were here, I might not even have the chance to talk to you."

In fact, Xie Xiaoran was right, Fang Yu occupied most of Chu Yan's time together, which was one of the reasons why Chu Yan had no other close friends.

After the first round, those students who can make a lot of money organize another two rounds and head to KTV.

Chu Yan couldn't play or drink, so he had to leave early.

Everyone looked at Xie Xiaoran who was beside him, understood it, waved goodbye, and wished good luck.

When Xie Xiaoran asked Chu Yan to send her back, Chu Yan did not refuse.

Just treat them as ordinary friends, and chat casually, it's rare to have such a leisurely opportunity.

Going back and staying there, I was also very upset.

"Is F University not bad?" Chu Yan asked casually.

"Well, it's pretty good for me. I don't have the chance to go to University A." Xie Xiaoran said angrily.

Chu Yan knew that Xie Xiaoran regretted not being able to get into University A due to his unstable performance on the spot, which resulted in lower than average scores in the college entrance examination, so he comforted him: "All roads lead to Rome, don't get too entangled."

Xie Xiaoran didn't say a word, she lowered her head and kicked a little bit of icy debris, and after walking for a while, she raised her head and asked Chu Yan: "I heard that you don't have a girlfriend yet, do you?"

Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Xie Xiaoran asked again: "Then can I do it?"

In fact, Chu Yan had already given the answer to this question twice.

The first time was in high school, when Chu Yan said he wanted to study, not when he was dating.

The second time was after the college entrance examination scores came down, Xie Xiaoran knew that it would be difficult for him to go to the same university as Chu Yan, and when he was depressed, he went to Chu Yan's house with his last hope, told him his plan to repeat the study, and asked Chu Yan if he would like to Give her a chance?

Chu Yan naturally gave a negative answer, and clearly said the answer of "I'm sorry, I don't like you".

This is the third time.

Before Chu Yan could say anything, Xie Xiaoran said again: "Don't answer me first, let me finish what's on my mind."

Chu Yan respectfully respected him.

"Actually, I tried to have a boyfriend in my freshman year. There was nothing wrong with him, and he did what other boyfriends did. But when I was with him, I couldn't help but think of you, imagine How wonderful it would be if he were you. There is really no way, and I broke up with him not long after we got together. "

Chu Yan was surprised and couldn't help but said: "Did you imagine me too perfect? ​​In fact, after getting along for a long time, you will know that I am very boring."

Speaking of this, he thought of Xin Qi, a girl who betrayed him because he was boring.

Xie Xiaoran naturally didn't know what he was thinking of, but turned his head and looked at his face fascinatedly, and said: "Do you know the feeling of your heart beating faster when you like someone? In the first year of high school, you came on stage to be the freshman representative I fell in love with you when I was speaking. Looking at you from a distance makes me feel very happy..."

Chu Yan didn't understand, and felt that the girl's thoughts were too beautiful, not necessarily true feelings.

"Have you ever liked anyone?" Xie Xiaoran asked him seriously.

Chu Yan immediately thought of Fang Yu.

He was a little dazed again, looked at Xie Xiaoran, and asked: "What is liking? What kind of heartbeat speeds up to be considered liking?"

Does it count when you are teased, have a physiological reaction unconsciously, and your blood boils?

Xie Xiaoran became a little happy because of his question: "Have you never liked anyone?"

Chu Yan didn't answer, Xie Xiaoran said again: "I can't see you, I think about it, I can't help but fantasize about being with you. If it can be realized, I feel that my whole life will be complete without regrets...Chu Yan, don't you It doesn't matter if you like me, at least I still have the chance to work harder."

When the bus came, Xie Xiaoran stretched out his hand unexpectedly, hugged Chu Yan vigorously, and then bouncing on the bus.

Chu Yan was still thinking about what he likes in his head, and he didn't react for a long time.

...

Many people are asking him this question.

Fang Yu asked him: "Do you want to?"

An Ning asked him, "Do you feel it?"

Xie Xiaoran asked him: "Have you ever liked it?"

Chu Yan didn't know, he just felt flustered like never before.

He walked aimlessly along the street corner, walked through the central square and the pedestrian street, and remembered that he and Fang Yu had eaten delicious food and had fun here.

Going home by car, I remembered how many times Fang Yu squeezed in the crowded carriage with him in order to accommodate him, cursing his mother over and over again.

The bus route passed through the book city, the food street, and the private hospital owned by cousin Chen Feng.

It seems that many memories about this city have become related to Fang Yu.

Chu Yan then thought again, it's not just this city?

The alley where I went home, the trash can at the entrance of the alley, the gate of my house, the grape trellis in the yard, various traces in the house, my room, and that bed...

The day before Fang Yu went abroad, he even kissed himself on it.

The phone rang again, it was Fang Yu.

For many days, Chu Yan did not answer Fang Yu's video calls on the grounds that his mobile phone was broken, and even the online information was not returned in time.

The bell rang for a long time, and finally returned to calm.

Chu Yan picked up the phone, looked at Yu's profile picture above the prompt message dialog box, and was fascinated for a long time...

...

The next day, Xie Xiaoran went directly to Chu Yan's house with a gift.

She also came here once when she was graduating from high school, but she was not ashamed to enter the door at that time.This time it was more generous than last time.

Grandma Chu's eyes lit up, she was very happy that a girl about the same age as Chu Yan had come to her family.

Enthusiastically kept someone at home for dinner, and then sent Chu Yan to go shopping with the girl.

"Play for a while, watch a movie or something, don't rush back." Grandma Chu told Chu Yan.

Xie Xiaoran walked briskly, hopping like a little sparrow: "Grandma's cooking is delicious, if you know that, I muster up the courage to come here sooner. Even if you don't like me, it's good to have a taste of grandma's cooking."

Chu Yan said: "You can come as a guest anytime you like to eat."

Xie Xiaoran stopped in her tracks all of a sudden, turned her head to look at Chu Yan, her eyes were full of surprises.

But I heard Chu Yan say another sentence: "As a friend, I also welcome you to visit me."

The light in Xie Xiaoran's eyes was instantly extinguished, she forced a smile, and said: "I said I still have a chance, anyway, you don't like others..."

"I like it." Chu Yan said.

Xie Xiaoran didn't believe it.

"Really, I didn't think about it before, but I figured it out yesterday. I have someone I like, and it's immoral to hang on to you."

Xie Xiaoran was disappointed, and said dejectedly: "It's okay, hang me, I am willing, I won't blame you."

This cannot be taken seriously, Chu Yan naturally knew, he tried his best to be sincere, and said: "Don't waste time on people who don't get anything in return, you..."

Xie Xiaoran interrupted him: "Don't send me a good girl card, I don't need it. Why don't you give me something real to make up for the feelings I have unilaterally paid for you over the past few years..."

Without waiting for Chu Yan to ask what it was, Xie Xiaoran suddenly moved closer to hug Chu Yan, and kissed him on the lips.

When Chu Yan saw her stretching out her hand, she subconsciously thought she was hugging him like yesterday, and she didn't expect her next move at all.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and turned his head slightly, but Xie Xiaoran kissed him to the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Chu Yan still maintained his demeanor and did not treat his girl roughly.

Xie Xiaoran also knew that she couldn't go too far, so the kiss was over, and she reluctantly let go of her hand and backed away.

After looking at Chu Yan carefully for a while, his eyes slowly turned red.Then turned around and ran away abruptly, her posture was not ladylike at all.

Running too fast, I didn't see a person standing at the entrance of the alley at all.

Xie Xiaoran collided with that person, was pulled by his sleeve by that person, at least he didn't fall, when he wanted to raise his head to thank him, he realized that he knew him.

Chu Yan also saw it a little further away.

Fang Yu grabbed the sleeve of Xie Xiaoran's cotton jacket with one hand, and looked at him coldly.
