"...I'm sorry, Amu, let's break up."

The girl pursed her lips, her eyes were full of water, and her voice trembled.

Wen Xunmu, who was sitting across from the girl, was slightly taken aback, and his hands holding the knife and fork eased down.He raised his eyes to look at the other party, with a slight and gentle smile on his lips, "Can you tell me the reason?"

"You are very considerate, and you are very kind to me, but...just..." The girl couldn't continue speaking, and tears fell down her cheeks.

"You don't have me in your heart at all, right? You said you love me, but you don't even want to go to the movies with me on Valentine's Day, and you can't find anyone..."

"I understand." Wen Xunmu nodded obediently, and even the tenderness in his eyes didn't diminish in the slightest. Instead, he put down the tableware, folded the napkin, and clinked glasses of champagne with her in a very gentlemanly manner.

"Although we broke up, we are still friends. If you need my help with something urgent, you can still find me."

He ate the last meal with the girl, and finally sent her home with a smile.

Without retention, without excessive questioning, everything ended like this again.

When driving back, Wen Xunmu was sitting in the driver's seat alone, wanting to call a friend to vent his sorrows, but after looking at the communication records for a long time, he still didn't know who to call.

The one at the top of the address book is still Bai Jingnan.

Wen Xunmu sighed deeply, feeling powerless and absurd.

Since he graduated, he has been in several relationships, most of them were noble ladies introduced by his family, each of them looked innocent and innocent, smart, and quite well-behaved.

If you have to say it, they are two different types of people from Jiang Jumian.

The years have worn him into a disposition to follow the crowd.If resistance fails, then try to accept the reality.

But in the end, the girls who always ran around him at the beginning would send him a good person card for the same reason that they felt that they didn't love her at all, and they didn't even want to spend Valentine's Day with her.

Wen Xunmu felt puzzled.

He has worked hard to learn to love each other, why did this result in the end?

——Even during the time with Jiang Jumian, who he likes, Wen Xunmu was only on Valentine's Day.

How to live?How can he live.

——Do you want to clink glasses with other girls on his best friend's memorial day?

He, Wen Xunmu, couldn't do such a stupid thing.

Even after so many years, he still couldn't let it go.

·

Many people told him that after Bai Jingnan left, he seemed to be a different person.

The young Wen Xunmu showed a bewildered expression, and then sneered and said, Wen Xunmu grew up so big, he has never seen such a big storm, it's just that a good friend passed away, he shouldn't be like this.

Not so...sad.

But he turned around and went back to the dormitory, opened the door and it was empty inside, only his own things in the cabinet, no one answered the greetings and jokes.

When he forgot to take something in the shower, he had to take it out by himself; no one would always drag him to eat; and no one knew that his favorite food was the cheapest noodle with fried sauce on the second floor of the cafeteria.

The old man who sold Yunduo cotton candy asked him with a smile, and the cotton candy gradually took shape amidst the sound of "buzzing" mechanical brakes.

Why don't you see the friend who came with you before, did you quarrel?

Wen Xunmu didn't know how to answer all of a sudden, so he simply avoided the question, babbled a few words, didn't even have time to get the cotton candy, paid the money and left in a hurry.

Wen Xunmu still remembers the funniest time. When he was doing his homework in the dormitory, he encountered a question that he didn't understand.

Anan no longer lives here.

Then he lay down on the table and laughed out loud, louder and louder, until the end of the laugh burst into tears.

Habits are really a scary thing.

In fact, Anan didn't cry on the day of his burial, and his reaction was not as severe as when he learned that his dearest grandmother passed away a few years earlier.At that time, Jiang Jumian slapped him with sobs, saying that he didn't expect Wen Xunmu to be so cold-blooded, why didn't you have a single tear, aren't you sad?

Aren't you sad that your best friend is gone?

He was sad, of course he was sad, his eyes were so red that they were about to bleed, but he couldn't cry at all.

——Who knew that the stamina was so strong, so strong that even after decades, it still seemed like yesterday, and the memory was still fresh.

In fact, he did not witness the riot.

Because he was not very satisfied with the gift he had chosen, Wen Xunmu went to the luxury mall to buy an extra pair of new sneakers for his friend.As a result, we were so delayed that we happened to meet the evening rush hour and were stuck on the road for almost an hour.

During the period, he called Bai Jingnan to apologize first, but the other party didn't answer.

Forget it, he sighed.

Don't you have a chance next year?

— There is no chance.

He came a step too late, and when he arrived at Flora, he could only hear the screeching siren, serious-looking policemen hurriedly coming and going behind the criss-crossing police cars, and a group of men and women in costumes who were still in shock whispered there.

He didn't see Bai Jingnan, not even Bai Jingchen.

Wen Xunmu's heart skipped a beat instantly.

Could it be... something happened to Anan, right?

Then he saw Lu Qizhi who was a little out of his mind - crazy, he, Lu Qizhi, would still have this expression?

"This is..." What happened?What about Anan?

He hadn't had time to say it yet.

Lu Qizhi's somewhat slack pupils then slowly refocused, his face was shockingly pale, and his voice was so soft that he could hardly hear it.

"...Anan was shot."

Wen Xunmu's pupils suddenly tightened, only to see that Lu Qizhi opened his mouth again, a very rare crack appeared on that indifferent face that never changed——

"The murderer is...their butler."

·

It has been five years since the accident happened.

Lu Qizhi had already been recommended to Tsinghua University, and he also went to the Department of Finance of Peking University with the No.2 score in science in the province. Jiang Jumian also went to Peking University, but he chose the law major.

Jiang Juwan went to the national team and is currently training abroad for a world-class competition.

Two days before Valentine's Day, Jiang Jumian, who hadn't been in touch for a long time after the breakup, sent him a message asking if he wanted to go see Anan together.

He said yes.

They went out in the light rain early in the morning, and he went to Jiang's old house to pick her up. Under the umbrella, the girl was dressed in plain clothes, and her curly black hair was quietly hanging on her shoulders. Distinct flavor.

Jiang Jumian grew up, and so did he.

Only those slightly upturned phoenix eyes were still shining with Wen Xunmu's familiar color.

Bai Jingnan's tomb is on a mountain in the suburbs, far away from their urban area, but the surrounding environment is very good. At that time, Bai Jingchen and them picked it together, thinking that Anan would like it.

The car couldn't get up the mountain, so they had to walk the rest of the way by themselves.

As always, they also met Bai Jingchen.Brother Bai nodded towards them, his pair of blue eyes, which were exactly the same as Anan's, were a bit dim, and there was not much expression of emotion.

Wen Xunmu lowered his eyes.

Since Anan left, Bai Jingchen has become like this now.

Cold, frighteningly cold.

It's like a humanoid refrigerator, even worse than Lu Qizhi.

According to him, it was because the person who made him feel warm was gone.

Wen Xunmu was a little surprised that Lu Qizhi was there.

"Aren't you..." Aren't you going to America?

Lu Qizhi nodded and made way for him, saying concisely: "Tonight's plane."

Wen Xunmu groaned, holding a bunch of carnations brought from home, took two steps forward, and gently placed it in front of the man's grave.

The rain is pattering, moistening the pure white petals.

"Hi, Anan."

"I'm here to see you again."

The face of the young man on the stele is still beautiful, with a vigorous smile and a bright smile.

This is a photo he took specially for the junior class of USTC. No one thought that it would be used in this place in the end.

"I guess Brother Lu is still the same. He must not have said anything to you, so let me tell you."

"Brother Lu, you are amazing. You have passed the graduate exam in Massachusetts, and you are going to fly abroad tonight. Are you moved, kid? I have to come and see you in such a busy schedule."

"Mianmian and I are on good terms... That kid Jiang Juwan went abroad to participate in a competition, and their coach refused to let him go, and he was cursing at me on the phone for a long time yesterday," Wen Xunmu said with a short laugh, At last it fell into silence again.

"It's a pity you can't see it."

"If you're still alive, you should have joined the research institute, right? It's a pity that I still have to pick up my dad's burden, otherwise I will go to the University of Science and Technology of China for you."

As if amused by his words, Jiang Jumian couldn't help laughing: "You are not a scientific research material, Mr. Wen."

Wen Xunmu also smiled, "Yes."

How can Anan look like a piece of scientific research material? It's really puzzling.

He babbled on a lot, saying that the department flower of their school was a loyal fan of Bai Jingnan, and he often ran over eagerly to ask him about the boy's past, and then his eyes were red when he heard it, and he choked up saying that the boy had always been her spirit Idol.

Lu Qizhi didn't interrupt from the beginning to the end, but quietly watched the boy's face on the tombstone with gentle and sad eyes.

Wen Xunmu noticed his eyes.

In fact, he could sense Lu Qizhi's unusual feelings for Anan - although the other party never mentioned it.

It was probably because Lu Qizhi lost his composure the moment he heard the news of the other party's death after rushing to the hospital that day.

The crumpled gift box could no longer be seen, and the red rose brooch inside was exposed, and it was completely broken at the connection between the bud and the rhizome.

·

And one more thing.

He knows, he has always known that he is not as rough as Bai Jingnan imagined.

——Anan was never the innocent one.

Even if he was before, but from the night he was "framed" by Su Luo, he wasn't anymore.

That's probably why he felt sad, but couldn't cry at all.

In fact, after sending Bai Jingnan back to the dormitory that day, Wen Xunmu didn't really leave.

He knew that the door lock of the dormitory was broken and couldn't be locked at all.At first, he was afraid that someone would come to trouble Bai Jingnan again, so he walked to a place where he could clearly see the door of their dormitory and stayed there for a while, paying close attention to the wind and grass there.

The result is nothing.

Wen Xunmu was still laughing secretly at himself, so he simply came out of his hiding place and wanted to go back to the dormitory to be warm - it was so cold outside that his hands and feet were a little numb from squatting.

He gently pushed the door open, worried about disturbing Bai Jingnan who might be asleep——

But the room was empty and there was no one there.
