Castle Peak

Xie Cen felt like a fallen leaf, floating on a quiet lake without ripples.Reflected on the surface of the water are the autumn mountain scenery, orange red and orange maple leaves, the high and empty sky, and the idle white clouds. She lay on the water, with the sound of the autumn wind in her ears, and the wind gently brushed her face.

She opened her eyes, and Yu Nian's long black hair fell on her face.

Xie Cen looked into Yu Nian's eyes, there seemed to be no emotion in those eyes, just like the lake she imagined just now, the young female orthopedic doctor has fair skin, the corners of her lips are slightly raised, and her facial features are slender. Calm and beautiful, like a painting with colder tones, Xie Cen reached out and touched Yu Nian's face, then put down his hand quickly as if frightened in the next second, Yu Nian looked at her from above, and finally appeared in her eyes. Something different, like a smile, like a question.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Xie Cen pursed his lips, and shook his head under Yu Nian's gaze.

"Do you like me?"

Xie Cen's eyes widened suddenly, panicked.

Yu Nian stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows beside the bed. She opened the curtains, and the night view of the city came into her eyes.

Her calm voice sounded.

"I like you."

Xie Cen sat on the bed with his knees hugged, looking sideways at Yu Nian's back.

Yu Nian turned around to look at her.

"Are you scared?"

Xie Cen's eyes were so clear that Yu Nian couldn't bear it.

"I……"

"To be honest, I've gotten used to being alone in the past few years, and I seem to have forgotten what it's like to like someone." Yu Nian looked at the person in front of him and continued, "If you can't accept me, just shake your head."

Xie Cen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

He didn't shake his head either.

Yu Nian approached her and sat by the bed, but did not meet Xie Cen's eyes.

"Will you accept me?" Yu Nian looked at the night outside the window, as if she wasn't talking to Xie Cen but was talking to herself, "If it's possible," she turned her head to look at Xie Cen, " At once……"

Before Yu Nian could finish the following words, Xie Cen suddenly moved closer and kissed Yu Nian's face.

It was a very flustered and green kiss.

Yu Nian smiled.

The way her eyebrows are stretched is very different from the usual image of not being close to strangers. For a moment, Xie Cen felt that Yu Nian, who was smiling in front of her, was somewhat similar to Jiang Jiayu. Only now did she understand why Teacher Jiang and Yu Nian is best friend.

Yu Nian was still staring at her with a smile.

Xie Cen lowered his head, his face burning rapidly, "Teacher Yu, I, I'm going home first."

"why?"

"Ok?"

"Are you afraid of me?"

"No, not afraid."

"Then why are you leaving?"

"Because, because..."

"Because you're in a mess right now, aren't you?" Yu Nian stretched out her hand to caress the back of Xie Cen's head, and she pressed her forehead close to Xie Cen's. Their breaths matched each other, and the tip of their noses were so close that Xie Cen could even see Yu Nian. The self in the eyes.

"Teacher Yu..."

"Ok?"

Xie Cen's heart beat extremely fast.

"The study room, the computer is not turned off."

Yu Nian burst out laughing, and the ambiguous atmosphere just now was broken in an instant.

"Stupid." Yu Nian rubbed Xie Cen's soft hair and walked away from her.

"You can sleep here tonight, I'll go to the guest room to sleep."

Xie Cen blushed, did not speak, just hugged his knees and looked at Yu Nian's back, watching the man walk out of the bedroom.

It was nearly April, and Jiang Jiayu took a week off to go to Inner Mongolia to play. Although she had to face overwhelming overtime work after returning, she still left without hesitation. She said that because her love life was too rough, she would not go out for a stroll. At that time, Yu Nian was sitting on the sofa drinking tea leisurely. He put down his teacup when he heard this sentence, folded his hands, and looked sideways at Jiang Jiayu.

"you lost weight."

"Yes, indeed, I have lost six catties, and I am almost malnourished."

"But why do I think you're in a good mood?"

"Hey, you still know me best, guess who I go with?"

"Except for your English teacher, I can't think of anyone who can make you so happy."

"Xiao Shu is busy with work, and besides, she has rejected me, so I don't think it's good for me to ask someone out to play again."

Yu Nian finally changed his expression, "Is this the reason why you haven't gone to see him?"

"Yes, I can't get over this hurdle in my heart."

Yu Nian paused for two seconds, "Then you plan to watch her get married like this?"

"I can't force her, she has her considerations and embarrassments."

Yu Nian took a deep breath before Fang spoke, "Jiayu, do you really understand Cheng Xiaoshu?"

"I...I don't know."

"Then do you think Cheng Xiaoshu is a proactive person?"

Jiang Jiayu lowered his eyelashes and remained silent.

"Why did she accept the blind date arranged by her family? Have you ever thought about the reason?"

"Her father is gone, and she doesn't want to upset her mother."

"That is to say, she accepted this matter for the sake of her family. From the beginning to the end, she did not consider her true wishes."

"She once told me that this matter is a 'task' for her."

"I just want to ask you, if Cheng Xiaoshu really accepts, do you think she will be happy?"

Jiang Jiayu choked.

"You also think that Cheng Xiaoshu is not a proactive person, and I don't agree with her. Her mother's purpose of arranging a blind date for her is to give her a happy future, but if she accepts this arrangement against her will, she will not There will be no happiness."

Jiang Jiayu stood up from the sofa, "Maybe the authorities are confused, I'm in a bit of a mess now..." She picked up her bag, "I'm going back first."

Yu Nian also stood up, and she supported Jiang Jiayu's shoulder, "My words just now may have been too direct."

"It's okay," Jiang Jiayu shook his hand in thought, "it's okay."

Seeing Jiang Jiayu leaving her home without energy, Yu Nian suddenly felt regretful. She didn't know if what she did was right or not. What she said might hurt her friends, but she knew that if she didn't do it now, she would be hurt in the future. Will regret it even more.

Yu Nian was very clear about why Jiang Jiayu chose to retreat and wait meaninglessly so abnormally.

As Jiang Jiayu himself said, the authorities are obsessed.

Jiang Jiayu's love is too careful.

Yu Nian recalled the look in Jiang Jiayu's eyes when he looked at Cheng Xiaoshu, it was a very happy look, it was not pure admiration, but mixed with too many emotions, Jiang Jiayu liked him too much.

Great love breeds terror.

She didn't want the other party to be wronged a little bit, she didn't want to give the other party the slightest harm or pressure, and she didn't want to see the other party frown.

During this process, she suppressed herself and handed over all her focus and choices to the other party. She lost her previous style of doing things, became a little blind, and became very hard.

At some point, the light in the living room became dim, and Yu Nian walked out of his thoughts, only to realize that night had quietly fallen.

Xie Cen's internship in the hospital has ended for a while, and the little girl who is easily shy and habitually purses her lips when nervous is no longer seen in the hospital.

But fortunately, this little girl is now walking towards herself.

The door of the house was opened, and Xie Cen walked in a little out of breath, and was relieved to see Yu Nian in the living room.

"I thought I was late, you have already gone to work the night shift."

Yu Nian walked over to touch her hair, "It is indeed time to leave."

Xie Cen put the keys on the table, looked at Yu Nian with bright eyes, and said with some regret, "I wish I had come earlier, and I can make you dinner."

"It's okay, Jia Yu came over in the evening, and after chatting with her for a while, I forgot the time. I'll just eat at the hospital later."

Yu Nian put on her coat and said, "You remember to have dinner, don't write your paper too late."

"Okay," Xie Cen smiled, and the dimples appeared on his face, "Teacher Yu has become more verbose."

Yu Nian came over and pinched her face, "Now I can joke with your teacher Yu, yes," she turned and walked towards the door, "It seems that the little lamb has grown up..."
