23 days before Christmas

Had dinner alone.

It's been a long time since I've had dinner alone.

Liu Yiming went back to the dormitory full of discomfort and lay on the bed, feeling weak all over.

At this time, a message suddenly popped up, it was Lin Zhixi's best friend for three years in high school, the straight boy old Cheng: "You two broke up?"

"He seemed depressed."

Liu Yiming rolled his eyes and replied, "I'm even more depressed."

"Actually, he was very sad." The two had obviously chatted, "He took this relationship really seriously at the beginning, but it might be because he was disappointed and sad too many times later, and he really couldn't take it anymore. .”

"And you..."

He frowned, seeing that Lao Cheng had stopped here, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with me? I'm the one who got hurt, okay?"

"He said that you have been making promises to him, but those promises are all empty promises. He thinks that you are perfunctory and let him down after giving him hope." Old Cheng paused, then continued, "He may He has already lost the initial feeling, he can’t devote himself 100% to this relationship, he even thinks that you are not suitable for being a lover, and he already treats you as a friend subconsciously, and he doesn’t want to occupy you and delay you.”

"Actually, I think you're a nice person, and I don't want you two to break up. But he's already like this, and he's just so stubborn. It's not easy for me to persuade him. "

He looked at the lines of words, and the pain and bitterness that he had clearly suppressed surged up again, and the tears just blurred his vision so disappointingly.

Why, come when you say you come, leave when you say, get back together when you say get back together, and break up when you say break up.

Can't we just talk about any problems between us?If I'm wrong somewhere, I'll just correct it!Why do you want to break up!

Liu Yiming's mind suddenly flashed what Lin Zhixi said before, which was clearly laying the groundwork for today's breakup.

"The problems between us have never been resolved."

"We've been avoiding it, we've been pretending that everything is fine and there is no contradiction."

During the three months with Lin Zhixi, Liu Yiming was really, really happy.He is very reluctant to part with this person, and he wants to keep developing this relationship.He was afraid that he would never meet someone like him again.

Liu Yiming has never quite understood why Virgos have always been labeled as "cold" and "tsundere".He, a Virgo, is most afraid of cold wars, and every time he can't help but soften his heart and show weakness to the other party first.Sorry to embarrass Virgo.

So after 3 minutes of ideological struggle, he took out his mobile phone and made a friend request to Zhixi on various social software as he did two months ago-it was less than four hours since he pretended to delete and block. .

It just doesn't live up to expectations.

Just can't let go.

It's only been three months.

Liu Yiming thought of the day he met Lin Zhixi three months ago, which was quite meaningful.It was the first day of college admission and it happened to be his birthday.

That night was the presentation meeting of the major clubs. Liu Yiming was speechless by those awkward and unknowing seniors on the stage. printed in his mind.Adolescent Liu Yiming was distracted by the girls in his class, and he had read a lot of online novels (especially love stories between boys). Those descriptions of the male protagonist's appearance, such as "tall stature", "star-eyed and sword-like eyebrows", etc. "" "Grave and handsome", "ice muscle and fine bones" (?) and so on, can all be placed on this man.Whether it is the height of 1.8 meters [-], the slightly cool temperament, or the eyebrows and the mood, he is very eye-catching in the crowd.

Liu Yiming was moved.

Yes, he would only fall in love with boys - but in the past 18 years, there were not many boys who could make him fall in love.

What is this called?

love at first sight?Not so.

He was also thinking about the same college and the major next door, when and when he would find an opportunity to meet this handsome guy.

After that glance, Liu Yiming couldn't listen to those lectures anymore, his mind was full of that face.Guided by the seniors and sisters, I added some weird clubs in a daze - it's one of these weird clubs!Became the beginning of a fate!

When Liu Yiming entered the group, he clicked on the member list and found that he was the second boy to enter.Then of course he wants to chat with the first boy who joined the group!What's more, the profile picture of this guy is still a certain European and American female singer he likes very much.

As the saying goes, in the European and American music circles, nine out of ten men—beep—(muffled)

The friend request was quickly accepted.

"Hey." Liu Yiming has been inexplicably fond of greetings like this recently.

"Hi." The other party replied quickly, "Lin Zhixi."

Liu Yiming also reported his name, and then asked, "Why did you join this club?"

"I originally wanted to join the chorus, but I couldn't find the person in charge. I was tricked by my senior."

Liu Yiming replied with a smile: "This club is short of men, and then they were arrested."

"Why did you add me?" Lin Zhixi asked suddenly.

"Because you are the only boy in our group, and your profile picture..." Liu Yiming answered truthfully.

"I quite like her."

Interests and hobbies are always the best starting point for chatting, especially favorite singers.

Just like that, the embarrassment disappeared, and we chatted directly.

Liu Yiming was very happy. He has lived for exactly 18 years. For 18 years, he felt that he met such an interesting person for the first time.From his favorite singers, favorite music, favorite actors, favorite movies, from past experiences to daily life, from hobbies to views on things, this is the first time he has encountered another soul who fits him like this.

Liu Yiming has always felt that he is a slow-moving person, and only when the other party is enthusiastic enough can he be motivated.Even if they share similar interests, they won't get acquainted quickly. He will carefully word his words, speculate on each other's thoughts, and chat for half an hour, each passing by a second—but this night, after chatting for almost three hours, Liu Yiming's other matters Nothing was done.Time passed quickly, but Liu Yiming didn't feel sleepy at all, and even felt that he didn't talk enough.

From the words, he felt that Lin Zhixi was not the kind of person who was very good at communication, and he was very cramped at the beginning, and he should have the same mood as himself at that time.But after that, the conversation became more and more exciting. The two of them completely shared their lives and thoughts with each other like they had just known each other for a few hours.

"I simply feel that you are another me in the world." Lin Zhixi suddenly sent such a message.

Liu Yiming was stunned, his heart was pounding, and he even felt his ears heat up, an unprecedented feeling flowing in his body.He pressed the keyboard with trembling hands: "I also think the two of us are quite compatible."

Yes, it fits.

"Soulmate."

"Yeah." Liu Yiming laughed at himself again in his heart, how could someone treat someone as a Soulmate after only a few hours of acquaintance?Putting it lightly.But I just think he is the person I have met who understands me the most over the years. I think he is my Soulmate. Do you have to use time to measure a person?

"Today is my birthday."

"Happy birthday."

"I think you are the best birthday gift God gave me." Liu Yiming couldn't help but send the words that suddenly appeared in his mind to Lin Zhixi.

Lin Zhixi over there didn't reply for a full 5 minutes. This was the longest interval between the two of them chatting all night. It didn't take that long to wash up.

Liu Yiming cursed in a low voice, thinking that he was a little too reckless. He had only known him for a long time and said such obscene words, did he scare him?

"Have you watched "Call me by your name"?" Lin Zhixi asked.

"I haven't finished it." Liu Yiming was taken aback for a moment, and then added, "I dare not finish it."

Lin Zhixi replied: "Okay."

Liu Yiming really felt that he was scaring him now, but Lin Zhixi seemed to see through the screen what he was thinking—"Don't worry, I wasn't scared by you hahahahahaha. There is a meeting tomorrow morning, go to bed early .”

"Oh." Liu Yiming was still a little disappointed, "Just slept like this?"

"Can you check the time?"

Liu Yiming was a bit reconciled, and his sensitive temperament made him think too much, so he replied: "It's only twelve o'clock, a few minutes past twelve o'clock. You just said that you slept at three or four o'clock during the summer vacation. "

"It's time for school, go to bed early."

"Okay then..." Liu Yiming sighed, "Good night."

Lin Zhixi replied in seconds: "Good night."

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow? Are you going to have a face-to-face meeting? We've only known each other for a few hours."

Liu Yiming frowned, and replied: "Is it not possible?"

"In case...forget it, I'm going to sleep hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." Liu Yiming couldn't imagine that Lin Zhixi must have laughed like a fool over there, although he didn't know what was so funny .

Lin Zhixi sent another one: "Sleeping hahahahahahaha."

What a joke, you, will you die if you meet me?We have to meet sooner or later!I'm just curious about you, isn't it?Liu Yiming turned off the phone, threw it by the pillow, closed his eyes for less than a minute, took the phone again, clicked into Lin Zhixi's QQ space, and turned upside down the previous life that this guy could spy on.

"Still asleep." A message from Lin Zhixi popped up suddenly, which frightened Liu Yiming.

He hurriedly replied: "How do you know?" Just after I sent it, I thought of myself liking every one, what a fool...

"..."

"Okay, okay, I'm going to sleep." Liu Yiming smirked at the screen, "Good night."

"See you tomorrow."

He he he he he he said see you tomorrow!See you tomorrow then!Liu Yiming looked at those three words, and the joy in his heart exploded like fireworks. He suddenly felt that he was so happy that he couldn't fall asleep, he couldn't control his facial expressions from laughing, and he had to hold back his voice so that it couldn't escape from his throat. He even wanted to sleep on the bed. After rolling around a few times, I was afraid of disturbing my roommate, so I hurriedly stopped.

Oh, how can there be such a childish person in this world.

But fate is sometimes a very mysterious thing. After only a few hours of contact, I think I know this person very well and want to learn more.Liu Yiming threw the phone aside, straightened the quilt, closed his eyes, his mind was filled with today's chat records, page after page, and finally turned into four words...

Meet late and hate.
