Fate replacement

The seasons alternate, and now it’s already winter. Standing in front of the quaint coffee shop, let the cold wind hit your body, your trembling body feels helpless in the dark weather.

──In the end, I came anyway.

I didn't plan to come here because I have to work overtime almost every day, but today I don't know whether it is going to rain red or the sun is coming out from the west. The fact of working overtime that was originally planned was completely shattered early in the morning.

Today, as soon as I arrived at the publishing house where I work, I just sat down in my place in the editorial department, and received two messages.

It was sent by the two authors below.

At first, I thought they were looking for some excuse to delay the manuscript, but no matter how I thought about it, they obediently handed in the due number of words. The reason was that they suddenly had an inspiration, and they submitted the manuscript early to settle a worry and save some unnecessary troubles.

There were not too many mistakes in the manuscript, so I processed the two manuscripts after I went to work at nine o'clock, confirmed the deadlines of other writers, and suddenly found that there was no progress to do for myself today.

It was only half past eleven.

A sense of powerlessness hits me because I know I have to keep my appointment.

Recalling the absurdity of the morning, a warm object was pressed against his cheek, it was a cup of coffee.

Looking up at the stranger in front of me, I was stunned, "Here, is it Hana? Sorry for the long... wait." His voice drifted out of my mind, because his face instantly grabbed all my thoughts.

He is very similar to him, very similar to the "he" who broke up with me a year ago.

It's not about the similar looks, but the look between the brows. I don't know what to say, but it really reminds me of him unconsciously.

"Ah, thank you." After taking the coffee, I lowered my head again, not seeing Haku's stiff expression.

"Get in the car." He led me to his car and let me get in the car.

After entering the car, his body warmed up a lot. He put the coffee aside and fastened his seat belt unnaturally with his frozen hands. Seat belt, while talking.

I shook my head and said it was nothing, but he pulled his trembling hands in disbelief and exclaimed, "It's all right after it's frozen like this!" His actions reminded me of "him" again, he used to They were just asking a few words, never worried about me like this.

Now that I think about it carefully, many of his actions have revealed the fact that "he loves not me", and it's not that I didn't realize it.

Rather than want to find out.

"Na...Hana? Are you okay?" The voice that exploded in my ear pulled me back from my thoughts, "Ah, um? No, nothing." I said I was fine, but there was a little lump in my heart, and I said Can't explain clearly.

"...It's fine." He showed a reassuring expression, and for some reason, he always felt that he was very gentle to him.

He frowned slightly, and then relaxed again.

He silently let go of the hand that was holding me just now, the hand is no longer cold and stiff, but slightly warm and warm, "My hometown is in City C, the journey is a bit far away, you can take a nap, let's go on the road, okay? "He gave me a faint smile, I nodded and said nothing, but the powerlessness was even worse.

Why can he say that so indifferently?

This doesn't look like the person I met for the first time... No, I think it's weird in a sense that I just met him after a day of chatting.

Normal people should not meet him.

The car was driving slowly, and he suddenly said, "Actually... I was a little surprised when I saw you just now." His eyes stared at the foggy road ahead, and my thoughts were also covered with a layer of mist, "This... what do you mean? ?” It seems to know something, but it is covered by a thin layer of tulle, unable to find an accurate answer.

"You look alike to him." His words made my eyes widen. "A small part is the appearance, but more is the feeling and demeanor. I'm not sure how to face you." He spoke very plainly, probably because he didn't want me to misunderstand, and he thought it would be better to speak clearly.

"...What's the name of the person who just broke up with you?" I didn't say anything, just asked this question suddenly.

He froze for a moment, with doubts in his tone, "Why do you ask this suddenly...? His name is Xu Zhi."

Xu Zhi.

What a sarcasm.

"You know, who are you being treated as a substitute for?" Turning his head to the window, he evoked a sarcastic smile, "I don't know...what's wrong with you? You feel weird." Yeah, it feels weird.

"You know, this is the most ironic thing I've ever encountered." I didn't turn my head, I just said it plainly, my eyes were sour unconsciously, as if I was about to cry, but what happened physically? The liquid did not drop, "I was regarded as Xu Zhi's substitute by Ruoyu, but you were regarded as Ruoyu's substitute by Xu Zhi? How ironic, you said no. If they love each other, why should we have?" Why should we make us suffer for them?" I turned my head and smiled at Haku, but I don't know what kind of smile it looks like, but I know that my heart feels like it's about to shatter, it's so uncomfortable.

"This..." He parked his car on the side of the road and turned to look at me, "For six years, he has never been nice to me. For six years, how many times have I cried and suffered pain for him, for six years... ..." At the end, I couldn't make a sound.

He quietly didn't say anything, as if he wanted to calm me down, the car restarted and continued to drive slowly. The car was shaking on the bumpy road, and our future seemed to be shaking, but it was also Like a car driving slowly, bit by bit, it opens up our future further, even in the cold wind.
