be late

"What will happen to her if you don't come home at night?"

Shu Yubai was thinking about what the woman said just now, and looked down at the phone. The call with Nan Xue just ended was still hanging on the page.She stood in the winter night, the asphalt intersection was covered with snow, the weather was cold, and the road was slippery.

Take a look, look again.

Shu Yubai stared at the screen and waited for a long time, his eyes hurt a bit from being stabbed.

Nan Xue didn't contact her again.

"She wouldn't mind."

Just going out on a date, what?

Shu Yubai hung his neck, a lock of long hair covered the side of his face, and said in a loose voice, "Maybe one day I get married, she will come to bless me."

"Really?"

"Well, it's still sincere, a blessing from the heart."

"I'm going to drive."

The woman looked sympathetically and patted her on the shoulder.

Does she care that she is dating someone and not coming home at night?

Maybe she was already asleep.

Shu Yubai turned off his mobile phone and put it in his coat pocket.

A car stopped, the window of the driver's cab slowly lowered, and a woman's face was revealed: "Let's go."

The woman's name is Xiao Yi, and she had been a roommate with her for a semester in college.

The time was short, so the negotiations were not deep.Apart from a few false confessions, joking little gifts and flowers, there is no more ambiguous story between them.

Shu Yubai hid it deeply. During these years of secretly falling in love with Nanxue, it was the first time that the same sex said the word "like" to him, so he was unavoidably impressed.

Xiao Yi has a very special and unique personality.Sometimes it shows its sharpness, and sometimes it hides deep, gentle and affectionate.

These people are complicated.

Shu Yubai has always been respectful and far away.

"We're all Southerners."

Xiao Yi drove the car and said, "Where is your family, where is he from?"

"Hangzhou."

Shu Yubai said.

"Hangzhou? Could it be Nanxue?"

Xiao Yi asked lightly, and once again spoke shockingly: "You said that the surname of the person you live with is Nan, and, just now, when the man at the table next to you talked about her, you reacted very strongly."

Shu Yubai raised his eyes suddenly, and his emotions were only revealed for a moment.

Then he looked to the side covertly.

"No." She whispered.

Thin eyelids, the tails of the eyes are gently elongated, but the snow-white cheeks are slightly flushed.

Xiao Yi looked at her, slightly lost in thought.

Suddenly I remembered the cherry blossoms I saw by the West Lake in early spring that day.

It seems that she was like this in the past, speaking softly, gentle and introverted, and easily shy.

"Good eyesight, she's a school belle." Xiao Yi smiled: "She's quite a famous girl."

"..."

Shu Yubai silently looked out the window.

Xiao Yi groaned, and said: "Since ancient times, there have been beautiful women in Suzhou and Hangzhou. How did she meet you?"

Xiao Yi held the steering wheel loosely with both hands, while driving, he gently scanned the rearview mirror.

It happened to meet Shu Yubai's eyes in the mirror.

The eyes in the mirror are very beautiful, with long eyelashes and well-defined roots, the eyes are as clear as an autumn lake, gentle and quiet, clean and spotless, shining with a certain transparent color.

Very beautiful.

It was the first time she saw such eyes.

Look at each other and leave at the touch of a button.

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just curious."

"When I was very young."

Shu Yu glanced out of the window with white eyes. In the clear and cold street, one or two street lamps flashed by, illuminating her jaw like bone china.

"I've known her for a long time. My parents are family friends and live close to each other. We've been playing since we were young."

——A family friend is a family friend, but it was a family friend many years ago.

Shu Yubai didn't say that she is already different from before.

Poor, down and out, with no way out.

Her father cheated that year, and it was a complete cheating.

Men love beautiful women.

After the mother gave birth to her, she grew old day by day, and she was not very good-looking.Xiaosan was pregnant again, saying that she was going to give birth to a son for him, so the father straightened the young and beautiful outer room.

As for the mother, as the main palace, she was kicked out.

His parents divorced, and Shu Yubai followed his mother.

After the divorce, the mother's share of property is not much, but the consumption level has not been lowered. She still spends money lavishly, luxury goods are still commonplace, and the family's food and clothing expenses are very high.

Savings are quickly depleted.

One poor and two white.

The poor and white situation has not improved until now.

Today, her relationship with her father has long been broken.

He is also unfamiliar with the Nan family.

Only Nan Xue, as before, followed her all the time.

Xiao Yi glanced at her from the rearview mirror.

The girl in the back row had her neck drooping, her long hair covered half of her face, her brows were slightly frowned, her voice was very soft, echoing in the car, it sounded a little sad for some reason.

sad?

Maybe an illusion.

Xiao Yi suppressed the feeling of pity and love that floated up in his heart.Holding the steering wheel, he made a bend, turned right, and said, "It's almost here." Then he turned his head, chin sideways, and asked, "Your guy, hasn't come to care yet?"

"..."

"You're going home with me, she's not in a hurry?"

Shu Yubai lowered her head slightly, she was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Xiao Yi smiled jokingly: "Straight girls are not reliable, why don't you try with me."

Shu Yubai ignored it.

I just couldn't hold back, took out my phone again, and kept checking to see if I had any missed calls.

No.

The message list was blank, and Nan Xue was really asleep.

The two nestled on the sofa, chatting casually.

Chatting is very comfortable, no matter how heavy the snow outside the window is, no matter how cold it is, the house is always warm.

She warmed a cup of hot milk, handed it to Shu Yubai, and talked to her about her experience of coming out, laughing while chatting.

"The first time I told my mother that I was Les, she didn't believe it."

"Do not believe?"

"Yes, she doesn't believe that there are women who like women in the world. She thinks I'm just a kid who wants to get attention and attention."

Shu Yubai smiled lightly.

"The second time I told her, she understood, and said, just get married. Get married and have children, and you can do whatever else you want."

"Marry a man?"

"Yes. Ridiculous, isn't it? That's why I don't want to."

Shu Yubai looked at her quietly.

"For the third time, I brought my first love directly."

"Successful this time?"

"Ah."

Coming out for your first love?

very nice.

Shu Yubai couldn't help but smiled softly, and then asked: "Then you two have a good relationship, right?"

"..."

Xiao Yi didn't speak, just looked at Shu Yubai quietly.

"I said, you and your first love."

Shu Yubai thought she didn't hear clearly, so he asked repeatedly.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, his eyes were a bit complicated.

Shu Yubai raised her eyes, at this relatively speechless, awkward and quiet moment, she finally realized it.

"It's been divided."

Xiao Yi smiled: "It's been a long time."

Shu Yubai didn't speak, Xiao Yi looked into her eyes, very focused, and said: "The position of girlfriend has been vacant for many years."

The atmosphere was inexplicably ambiguous.

Two people of the same sex who like the same sex are in the same room, as if something is going to happen every minute.

After all, the night is so deep.

Both are still single.

Shu Yubai couldn't tell what she meant by "acting".

It seems true and false, which is the most confusing.

She said goodbye to Xiao Yi and went home.

It's like running away.

It was past eleven o'clock at night when Shu Yubai got home.

When I got to the stairwell, I heard a small sound, the snow outside the window was heavy, and the wind was also strong, blowing against the window.

Lights are on in the house.

The light seeped from the crack in the door, and the spot was bright.

With that light, Shu Yubai looked at himself in the mirror on the door, gently brushing the long hair on the temples with his index finger.Just now on the way home, her hair was all blown out, snow fell on her makeup, and there were some flowers when she entered the house.

After adjusting, she calmed down her heartbeat slightly, held the key, and opened the door.

Shu Yubai stepped cautiously and lightly.

Is Nan Xue asleep?

She was afraid of disturbing her, so she acted lightly.When going upstairs, the wooden stairs creaked and there was a slight vibration.

The lights were on on the first floor, as were the bedrooms on the second floor.

Shu Yubai went upstairs gently, the door of the room was half closed and the light was dim.

She gently pushed open the door, and a thin figure was huddled under the quilt, with her head slightly lowered, her slender fingers curled up, it was the posture of a baby in the womb, fast asleep.

There is heating in the house in the north, and the window panes are covered with white mist.Bright spots like moonlight fell on the ground. If you look carefully, it is snow on the window.

The temperature in the room was high and the quilt was thick. She seemed to be afraid of the heat. The off-white quilt was pushed away by her, and a thin arm held the quilt, feeling very restless.Thin shoulders are exposed, smooth as jade.

The clavicle is exquisite, and down, the white and soft undulations are like a pair of little pigeons, hidden in the thin pajamas.

The cheeks are as white as jade, like porcelain, afraid of breaking if touched.

She leaned over to see the man obediently closed his eyes.

The eyelashes fell lightly, and she slept peacefully.

Shu Yubai walked gently, stared at her for a while, and couldn't help but sit down by the bed.

She leaned closer and looked at Nan Xue's cheek.

The skin is smooth and delicate, with slight fluff under the light, like the petals of a white rose, soft and clean, with a certain cold fragrance.When Shu Yubai's fingertips touched her skin, his heart throbbed.

She is usually a little cold and unpredictable, but the corners of her lips are slightly curved when she is asleep, like a cat.

It's too good to be true.

She looks at her lips.

Get closer.

One inch, another inch.

Slowly, tremblingly approaching.

Wanted to kiss her.
