Before Tan Cheng went home, he received a call from Xia Tong, saying that he was going to his grandma's house in Hainan that day, and that he had a plane ticket at ten o'clock in the evening, and wanted to have dinner with him.

Tan Cheng thought about it and agreed.

In a few days it will be New Year's Eve, and the western restaurant we met is in an old bungalow in the suburbs of Xi'an, and there are almost no people there, so it is convenient for the two of them to talk.

But Tan Cheng didn't talk much, Xia Tong was always talking, and he listened, occasionally saying a few words to echo him.

In a quiet western restaurant, with sweet champagne and red wine, and soft music around his ears, Tan Cheng didn't know how to appreciate it. After talking for a long time, he became a little distracted and didn't pay attention to what Xia Tong said, but was caught by the red maple trees on the street outside the window, The ginkgo tree draws attention away.When he came just now, he didn't notice that the street outside the restaurant was full of red maple and ginkgo trees.

The trees in February have long since lost their autumn leaves, leaving only white snow heavily on the bare branches.

When will the leaves fall?He didn't have time to take a look at it, so he has to wait for next year?

Next year... Tan Cheng was suffocating slightly, and felt that the leaves were falling too fast, and this subtle feeling actually made Tan Cheng feel a little sad.

Shaking his head slightly, really, when did he become so sad?It seems that when he wakes up, he also becomes literary and easy to be sentimental?

"Tan Cheng?"

Xia Tong's voice brought Tan Cheng back to his senses. Seeing Xia Tong lower his head in a little disappointment, Tan Cheng realized how rude he had done.

Although he didn't talk much, he was able to respond to at least a few sentences just now. Now he was so self-absorbed that he didn't even look at the girl in front of him. To be honest, he was extremely disrespectful to girls, and no girl would not mind.

Feeling a little guilty, Tan Cheng hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I've been distracted for some reason lately..."

Xia Tong shook her head, "I know...it's fine."

"What did you want to tell me just now?"

Seeing that Xia Tong raised his head and looked at him, Tan Cheng didn't speak.

The meeting of eyes made Tan Cheng a little more uncomfortable. He looked away and looked at the red wine glass on the edge of the dining table, "You said, your grandma's home is in Hainan, right?"

Tan Cheng looked away, making Xia Tong's eyes dim. It was the first time she pursued a boy like this. She was a bit shy at first, and Tan Cheng didn't talk much, so she tried her best to talk more. She was distracted, she wanted to pretend that she didn't care...

He Yalan told her that eye contact is very important, and she mustered up the courage to look at Tan Cheng, but she didn't know what to do next if the boy looked away.

The reddish face turned even redder, Xia Tong's fingertips trembled slightly, she put down the knife and fork in her hand, and hid her hands under the dining table.

"Yes, in Hainan."

"Hainan is a good place." Tan Cheng could see Xia Tong's embarrassment, the girl with her head bowed, her ears and cheeks flushed red, was extremely cute.Tan Cheng felt a slight pain in his heart, but he couldn't feel the urge to hold her in his arms. Obviously, he should like such a girl. Obviously, he should go over and hold the girl's hand to comfort her...

However, Tan Cheng clearly understood that he only felt guilty towards Xia Tong now, and he could tell that this kind of heartache did not come from love.

Love should be suffocating, sweet and bitter.He doesn't want to let that person suffer a little bit of grievance, doesn't want to let that person's hope come to naught, seeing that person is sad, he will be even more sad, he can't wait to rush forward to help him fulfill all his wishes, and at the same time, he will hug that person tightly , kiss, comfort...

It's him in life, it's him in dreams, it's him in my heart...

He has clearly never experienced love, but why can he know what love looks like?

Thinking of this, Tan Cheng thought of the dream he had every day during these days, it was empty, there was nothing, only himself in that dream...

"I've never been to Hainan, so I'll go and see it when I have time."

"Well, I'll be a tour guide then." Xia Tong replied with a smile.

After eating dinner for an hour, the airport is some distance away. After dinner, Xia Tong took her luggage and was ready to go to the airport.

This night, it's not safe for a girl to be alone with a suitcase of luggage. What's more, two days ago there was news that the girl was missing alone. Thinking of this, Tan Cheng sent Xia Tong to the airport.

In the past few days, the snow has been falling heavily, the weather is bad, and the plane is late. Tan Cheng and Xia Tong sat in the waiting hall and waited for an hour. The two of them did not speak, and sat side by side quietly, waiting for the check-in to board the plane. The broadcast sounded, and Tan Cheng helped Xia Tong carry his backpack, and followed Xia Tong to the ticket gate.

During the Spring Festival travel season, there were many people returning home, and there was still a long queue at the ticket gate at [-] o'clock at night. I waited in line with Xia Tong for a while, and Tan Cheng handed the bag to Xia Tong after Xia Tong finished checking the ticket.

However, before the bag in his hand was picked up, Xia Tong took a few steps forward and hugged him tightly.Passengers lining up behind whistled at the right time.

Tan Cheng froze in place for a moment, and couldn't find a place to put his raised hand, neither could he push it away, nor would he not push it away.

Slightly lowering his head, he looked at Xia Tong who was leaning on his chest with his eyes tightly closed. From such a close distance, Tan Cheng could naturally feel Xia Tong's nervousness, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The two of them blocked the way of the ticket inspectors queuing up behind them, and they were eager to return home. Naturally, Tan Cheng heard the impatient voices of the returnees behind them.Xia Tong must have heard it too, but the girl with blushing cheeks was still unwilling to let go.

She was originally a shy girl... Realizing this, the hand that was about to push away, paused, and patted Xia Tong on the back lightly, "Okay, it's getting late."

"You, can you come and pick me up after the new year?"

The voice from below trembled slightly. Thinking of his absent-mindedness at dinner just now, and thinking of that strange dream, Tan Cheng couldn't say no, let alone agree, so he could only keep silent.

The urging voice of the passengers behind was a little louder, Tan Cheng sighed slightly, and replied, "Okay."

After seeing off Xia Tong, Tan Cheng returned home a day later.

He hasn't been home for more than a year. To be honest, it's a lie if he doesn't want to go home. Looking at Tan's mother's red eyes, Tan Cheng feels even more guilty. Mother, comfort in a low voice.

It will be the new year in a few days. Tan Cheng and his father, Tan Long, who returned home, drove to accompany Tan's mother to buy new year's goods, busy around.On New Year's Eve, Tan's mother cooked a table of Tan Cheng's favorite dishes. Tan Cheng posted the Spring Festival couplets at home, set off firecrackers before the meal, and burned incense to offer sacrifices to the ancestors. down.

After being seated, the family of three clinked glasses at the dinner table, and even Mother Tan, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, drank a glass.

"Although this year is not going well, fortunately there are no major problems," Qin Long drank a few sips of white wine and said with a smile, "Our family of three will definitely be better next year."

Mother Tan laughed after hearing her husband's words, "Yes, it is said that one year is hurt and the other is good, and we, Tan Cheng, will definitely get better in the year of the sheep."

"Well," Tan Cheng paused, nodded, "I will often go home in the future."

"It doesn't matter whether you come back or not, as long as you do well." Tan Long is a sensible person. Tan Cheng was not talkative since he was a child, and he looked a little dull.He has been interested in history and archeology since he was a child. He knows these things better than anyone else. He also knows that his son has ambitions, and he doesn't intend to hold him back.

"Don't worry about me and your mother. My mother is not boring at home. She usually travels, dances with friends, and plays cards during holidays. If you want to be in Xi'an, then you can stay there."

"Let me see..."

Although Tan's mother didn't understand these things, she still understood her son's thoughts. Tan Cheng had always wanted to stay in Xi'an. When did he say "take a look" so uncertain?Something must have happened to make his son so uncertain about his future.Moreover, the recent news also said that...

Originally, she didn't want to ask too much, because she was afraid that her son was already irritable, and if she talked more, her son would be even more annoyed.

After thinking about it, Mother Qin still hesitated and said, "Is it because of that Professor Li? Your father and I saw the news... Will this affect your graduation?"

"No." Tan Cheng shook his head, "The school has decided to let us follow another professor for the time being."

"Oh, that's good, that's good."

Qin Long listened and nodded in relief, took a sip of wine and ate two mouthfuls of food, "By the way, I remember that you called your mother a while ago and said that you promised your deceased classmate , take care of his parents?"

Qin Long's words made Tan Cheng stunned for a moment, "A classmate who passed away?"

Tan Cheng's puzzled expression made Tan's mother frowned and said, "Why, you forgot? I told you at the time that you can't promise this matter casually. After all, it's a promise to someone who is about to die... But you He accepted death again, refused to listen to what he said, and then agreed on his own initiative. Son, if you make a promise to the deceased, you will never forget it. You forgot, but your classmate remembers it.”

What Tan's mother said made Tan Cheng even more confused. When did he agree to take care of the parents of his dead classmate?He didn't know about it at all, and when it came to the dead classmates... Jiang Bo, Lin Hongxing, Zhang Qishuo, he was in a coma at the time, how could he promise?

He looked at the parents in front of him without any trace, and there was no sign of joking at all...

Tan Cheng felt something was wrong...

After thinking about it, Tan Cheng raised his glass and drank a couple of sips, then said slowly, "Oh, I remember, but I don't remember when I told you about it."

Maybe he really promised someone this kind of thing before, but he just forgot accidentally.

"When? It seems to be May or June. I remember that after you told us, you went to Sichuan to attend the funeral of your classmate."

May June?

Tan Cheng's hand holding the chopsticks shook suddenly, and a pair of porcelain pieces fell on the dining table with a harsh sound.

"I...why did I call you at that time?" And went to Sichuan...?

"How did you make the call? Just make a normal call. Don't you call home every week?" Tan's mother wondered, "But you called on the first day of December."

December [-]st...

Tan Cheng's head exploded, and he looked at his parents in disbelief. He...he was in a coma...

Thinking of this, Tan Cheng seemed to understand something. No wonder Wu Hai and Zhang Jun had the same expressions when he just woke up, no wonder he could walk around naturally after lying in a 'coma' for seven months... Maybe it wasn't because he was in a coma, But he lost his memory...

This knowledge made Tan Cheng's face fade in an instant, and his heart turned cold.

"What's the matter, why does your face look so ugly all of a sudden? Did you drink too much?" Tan's mother quickly reached out and touched Tan Cheng's forehead, "Don't drink, don't drink, I was so scared when you fell into a coma Light, I thought it would be healed after so long, is there any sequelae now?"

"Mom, I'm fine." Tan Cheng straightened his body and hurriedly said, "I'm just a little anxious after drinking, and I probably still have a little cold."

"Then have some food, stop drinking, and go to sleep after eating."

"……it is good."

It's just this sleep, but Tan Cheng is destined to not sleep well.

With an explanation for the pale dream that had haunted him for several months, he had forgotten the reason why he was so sad.

On the fifth day after the Chinese New Year, Tan Cheng, who was restless, bought a lot of things and went to Sichuan, Zhang Qishuo's home.On the one hand, it was because of his parents' worries. Since he had made a promise to the deceased, he had to do it; on the other hand, it was because of his own doubts.

However, when he arrived at Zhang Qishuo's house, Tan Cheng had to believe what Zhang Qishuo's parents said.
