Why is first love so sweet?

It snowed until late that night.

After the evening self-study was over, Sheng Yi returned to the empty home alone, put down his schoolbag and sat on the sofa in a daze.

Rong Yu's answer kept echoing in his mind.

Sheng Yi's will loosened a bit.

Xiaojie took the leash and lay meekly at his feet, looking up at him expectantly.

Sheng Yi came back to his senses and patted Xiaojie's head: "Do you want to go out to see the snow?"

Xiaojie put the leash into his palm.

Sheng Yi put Xiaojie on a leash, pulled himself together, put on a thick coat and led Xiaojie out the door.

The small road in the early morning is quiet and empty, and the white street lights are shining brightly, leading people to move forward beside the road covered with thick snow.

Xiaojie is getting older, so he walks more slowly, and Sheng Yi walks slowly according to his speed.

Walking to the deserted birch forest, Sheng Yi sat on the bench, untied Xiaojie's leash, and let him play by himself.

Looking up at the sky full of stars, Sheng Yi's heart was suddenly extremely peaceful, and all his troubles were purified by that faint Milky Way.

He closed his eyes, watching one phantom after another flash past his eyes.

Then it gradually settles, leaving no trace.

At that moment, Sheng Yi felt that he had returned to the universe.

With the deep and slow breathing rate, his body dispersed into countless luminous motes, like a hazy ribbon, drifting with the wind to the night sky, entwined into a red planet in the vast blackness.

He felt endlessly alone.

He remembered that there was once a blue planet that was revolving in the same orbit as him.

Because of his defection, he was exiled to the boundless void by himself and accepted the punishment called "loneliness".

After an unknown amount of time, a layer of snow fell on Sheng Yi's hat and eyelashes.

He escaped from the lucid dream and was awakened by the slight sound of reality.

Xiaojie stood still in the snow, suddenly turned his head to look into the dark woods, and then ran into the woods chasing something without looking back.

"Xiaojie, come back." Sheng Yi got up and chased after him.

After a few steps, Sheng Yi heard footsteps running away in the woods.

The strong intuition made Sheng Yi pause for a moment, "Dad?"

Sheng Yi rushed into the woods in a panic, "Dad! Is that you!"

The footsteps in the darkness got farther and farther away, Sheng Yi hurriedly took out his mobile phone and turned on the light, and vaguely saw a desolate figure wearing a knitted hat.

Sheng Yi confirmed the identity of the man with just one glance, his eyes turned red quickly, and he quickly chased the man into the depths of the woods.

After chasing into the depths of the darkness, the bare trunks of the birch trees became more and more dense, but Sheng Yi still lost track of him.

Sheng Yi stood still and panted violently, exhaled a cloud of white mist, and shouted to the surroundings blankly: "Dad! Come out!"

"What is this?!" Sheng Yi kicked the tree trunk beside him, randomly grabbed a handful of snow and threw it into the darkness, venting to the surrounding woods with red eyes: "Why! Why don't you dare to see me?!"

"Why..." The voice gradually became weaker, Sheng Yi knelt down in the snow with his head in his arms, his voice choked with tremors: "Come out...Dad..."

"I don't blame you, can you come out...I forgive you..."

One drop, two drops.

The flat snow surface was melted by the continuous dripping hot liquid to create small gaps.

After a while, Xiaojie ran back from the depths of the woods, and put a worn-out men's glove in front of Sheng Yi.

Sheng Yi picked up the snow-stained glove and stared blankly.

There is a magical sense of blood relationship left on the glove.

Let Sheng Yi confirm that Sheng Ming really came.

After tidying up his emotions, Sheng Yi wiped his eyes with the palm of his hand, staggered up slowly with his legs frozen in the snow, stuffed his gloves into his pocket, fastened the leash for Xiaojie, and took Xiaojie home.

After that night, Sheng Yi always felt uneasy.

Sheng Yi began to investigate the reasons for Sheng Ming's bankruptcy.

He asked Cheng Wenge to help him investigate, but the investigation process was repeatedly blocked.

A few days later, Cheng Wenge went to look for him at home and said to him, "The private investigator doesn't accept this job. I went to ask the family about your father, but they wouldn't let me continue the investigation. So I had a hunch that your father...may be It’s too complicated to mess with people who shouldn’t be provoked. The real estate industry has always been chaotic, and it’s especially easy to get involved in some things when it’s big, you should understand.”

"..." Sheng Yi sat on the sofa with his elbows propped on his knees, rubbing his forehead with his fingers irritably, "I'm afraid he's in danger."

"Since your father doesn't see you, there must be his concerns." Cheng Wenge lit a cigarette and kindly persuaded him: "I suggest you prepare for the college entrance examination with peace of mind, and when the limelight passes, your father should come to you."

Sheng Yi leaned weakly on the sofa, looked at the glove on the table, and closed his eyes tiredly.

Feeling the danger, Sheng Yi didn't continue to investigate, but the matter came to him by himself.

The night before he took the college entrance examination for B University that year, Sheng Yi came home from his evening self-study and felt being followed on the way.

Sheng Yi didn't look back, calmly lowered the hood of his sweater, stepped on the skateboard and slid into a narrow alley.

Ten seconds later, a motorcycle also turned into the narrow alley. Two men wearing masks and hats sat on the car and got off at the dead corner of the narrow alley with rusty steel pipes from the construction site in their hands.

The two stood still, looking left and right but did not find Sheng Yi. Just about to look up, Sheng Yi jumped off the concrete wall on one side with a hood on, and slammed one of the gangsters unconscious with a skateboard, while the other gangster was about to use a steel pipe Block him with the skateboard just in time when swinging at him from behind.

The steel pipe hit Sheng Yi's right finger, and Sheng Yi heard the cracking sound of bones,

Gritting his teeth to resist the sharp pain from his fingers, cold sweat dripped from Sheng Yi's forehead.

In the stalemate of strength, Sheng Yi asked coldly: "Who are you? Are you related to my father?"

"Father's debt is paid by the son!" The gangster was not young, his gray hair was visible on the brim of his hat, and he didn't look professional. It was obviously difficult to deal with young people, and he gasped and said, "The unconscionable dog killed you!" My son, then die for another!"

"Let him also taste what it's like for a white-haired man to give a black-haired man!" The gangster roared, bursting out with great force, and violently pushed Sheng Yi against the concrete wall.

Sheng Yi was still shocked by this man's words, and was almost hit on the head by a steel pipe for a moment of loss of consciousness, and he was able to block it with a skateboard.

Looking up suddenly, Sheng Yi saw the tears in the old man's eyes.

His eyelashes trembled, and he suddenly felt a great sense of guilt.

Without any more resistance, Sheng Yi covered his head with a skateboard and slowly sat against the wall on the cold ground, gritting his teeth to endure the pain that fell on his body.

After an unknown amount of time, Sheng Yi felt that the phone in his coat pocket was vibrating all the time, but his consciousness was already blurred, and the pain from the broken fingers made his hand gradually lose strength.

The skateboard covering his head fell off his hand and fell to the ground.

Sheng Yi looked desperately at the shadow of the stick that was about to fall from above, and could no longer hear any sound in his ears.

Intuition to the end of everything.

Sheng Yi miraculously calmed down and was no longer afraid.

Sheng Yi leaned his head against the wall with one leg bent, calmly closed his eyes, and gradually lost consciousness.

Suddenly, a white and glowing figure appeared in front of him.

It's mom.

Seeing Sheng Yi accepting it calmly, the old gangster held up the steel pipe and hesitated for a moment.

The next second, a light shone into the alley, and a black car stopped at the entrance of the alley.

"Sheng Yi!!"

Rong Yu, who was still wearing a black down jacket in his winter school uniform, slammed the car door and rushed into the narrow alley. The driver and accompanying bodyguards quickly got out of the car.

The bodyguard subdued the gangster, and the driver immediately called the police.

"Hang Hang!" Rong Yu knelt down on one knee, calling Sheng Yi's name to wake him up, carefully checking his injuries.

Seeing Sheng Yi's obviously fractured and twisted right ring finger, Rong Yu's pupils flickered violently, and he quickly carried him into the car.

On the way to the hospital, Rong Yu's body couldn't help shaking, he held the unconscious Sheng Yi tightly in his arms, and wiped the cold sweat off Sheng Yi's face with clean palms.

The driver overtook all the way and took the fastest route to the nearby hospital.

Sheng Yi was sent to the emergency room.

During the treatment, Sheng Yi woke up, squinted his eyes and looked around in confusion.

Rong Yu asked the doctor about the injury outside the emergency area, and the nurse was fixing Sheng Yi's fractured finger.

After the nurse left, Sheng Yi struggled to get out of the temporary hospital bed in the emergency area. While Rong Yu didn't notice him, he quickly grabbed his schoolbag and put it on one shoulder, frowned and staggered away from the hospital in pain.

Sheng Yi had to take the school exam for B University tomorrow.

He was afraid that this would be his last chance to go to college.

Rong Yu had already received an early application offer from Harvard in December, and he kept thinking about his future when he didn't want Rong Yu to leave.

He can't stay here, Rongyu won't allow him to take the exam with such a hand.

After escaping from the hospital, Sheng Yi was not in a hurry to take a taxi on the main road.

He turned off his phone and hid for a while against a tree in the garden outside the hospital.

In less than a minute, Rong Yu ran out of the hospital gate, anxiously listening to his mobile phone, and ran towards the main road.

Sheng Yi looked at Rong Yu's back with complicated eyes, left the garden with confidence, supported his right arm that was gradually paralyzed due to the severe pain in his fingers, and slowly went to the intersection in the other direction to take a taxi.

Knowing that Rong Yu would definitely go to look for him at home, Sheng Yi didn't go home.

He took a taxi to the vicinity of University B, went to a pharmacy to buy painkillers and took a few tablets, fearing that Rongyu would find a way to check his ID card usage records, so he went to a 24-hour convenience store for a night.

After dawn, Sheng Yi went to a nearby art supply store to buy a new set of painting tools necessary for the exam, and dragged his aching body directly into the exam room.

Sheng Yi used his injured hand to finish the whole day of the exam. The invigilator and the candidates around him kept looking at him with admiration.

After finishing the last subject, Sheng Yi relaxed.

The pain in his body exploded violently.

Sheng Yi followed the flow of people to the outside of the examination room very slowly.

The last one walked out of the gate of the examination room, and he felt a scorching gaze.

Rong Yu was still wearing last night's clothes, standing among the dispersed crowd, his face was pale and tired, as if he hadn't slept since last night.

Sheng Yi had never seen such obvious emotion in Rong Yu's eyes.

It was almost impossible to hide, anger and heartache directly passed through the air and entered Sheng Yi's body, which he clearly felt.

Across the passing crowd, the two people looking at each other seem to be frozen in time.

Sheng Yi hid the pain in his body and forced a smile at Rong Yu.

Rong Yu clenched his fists and walked towards him with gloomy eyes through the crowd.

Staring closely at Sheng Yi's eyes, Rong Yu slowly lowered his eyes, looking at Sheng Yi's trembling hand that was still uncontrollable because of the injury in the exam.

The Adam's apple rolled slightly, Rong Yu was heartbroken for a long time in silence, and said in a hoarse voice, "I thought you were lying to me."

Sheng Yi lowered his head and said nothing.

Rong Yu looked at Sheng Yi, shook his head meaninglessly, and whispered wearily, "It turns out that I really don't deserve to be trusted."

Sheng Yi's heart ached.

He closed his eyes.

Rong Yu didn't say anything, took off his coat and wrapped it around Sheng Yi, and forced Sheng Yi back to the hospital.

Rong Yu watched Sheng Yi in the hospital for a week. After Sheng Yi was discharged from the hospital, Rong Yu did not go back to school.

He has already got an offer, but in fact he doesn't have to go to school anymore.

Until the college entrance examination, Sheng Yi was never followed again.

In March, on the night of Rongyu's birthday, Sheng Yi looked at the opposite house at home and saw that only Rongyu's bedroom was lit, and the windows of other rooms were all dark.

Rong Yu's family all moved to a new home, and for some reason, only Rong Yu stayed.

Even if he hurts him, even if he gets angry, Rongyu is still Rongyu and will not leave him for any reason.

Such silent companionship made Sheng Yi's already firm will loose again.

He was no longer sure whether the gift he gave was really needed by Rong Yu.

Staring blankly at the lonely bright window, Sheng Yi's eyes became confused.

At some point, the opposite window also opened, and a clean silhouette of a boy in a gray sweater appeared in front of the window, looking at him from afar across the two courtyards with new grass growing and the path in the middle.

Sheng Yi's cell phone vibrated suddenly on the desk.

It was a message from Rong Yu, with only one ellipsis.

Looking at the ellipsis, Sheng Yi's vision suddenly blurred.

Wiping his eyes with the palm of his hand, Sheng Yi also replied with an ellipsis.

After replying, he looked up to the opposite side.

From a long distance, he clearly saw Rong Yu smiling at him.

It seems that all the words that cannot be easily uttered are put into these two symbols.

Sheng Yi's heart relaxed leisurely, and he also smiled back at Rong Yu.

In April, Sheng Yi's school exam results were released. Even though he was injured in the exam, he still ranked No. 1 in his professional grades.

In June, Sheng Yi took the college entrance examination and saw Rongyu on the campus of the examination room.

Rong Yu still took the college entrance examination together with Sheng Yi.

Sheng Yi was not surprised, he and Rong Yu looked at each other from a distance, and gave him a cheering gesture.

Rong Yu suddenly walked towards him through the candidates who were nervously rushing to various examination rooms.

Walking in front of Sheng Yi, Rong Yu covered Sheng Yi's face with the transparent pencil case containing the admission ticket. Regardless of the surprised eyes around him, he lowered his head and gave Sheng Yi the exclusive blessing of the god of learning in the exam.

A few seconds later, the pencil case fell.

Sheng Yi's face was flushed, and his eyelashes drooped unnaturally.

As if nothing had happened between the two, Rong Yu rubbed Sheng Yi's head, "Come on for the exam."

Sheng Yi's eyes flickered slightly.

He clenched his fists and mustered up the courage to whisper, "I'm sorry, it's me..."

Rong Yu pressed his mouth and looked into his eyes tenderly: "I've heard it."

With a clear smile, Sheng Yi completely relaxed, rushed forward and hugged Rong Yu after a long absence, and whispered in his ear, "But I haven't finished yet."

Rong Yu raised his arms and hugged Sheng Yi back: "Me too."

Sheng Yi hugged Rong Yu's neck tightly, his heart beating wildly: "Rong Yu, I seem to be crazy."

Rong Yu also hugged a little tighter, closed his eyes gently, and carefully felt the long-lost body temperature: "Me too."

With a chuckle, Sheng Yi said seriously, "I can."

Rong Yu whispered, "I know."

Holding back his hot eyes, Sheng Yi let out a breath slowly and let go of Rong Yu.

Sheng Yi looked into Rong Yu's eyes and clicked an ellipsis in the air.

Whether it is past, present, or future.

I could be crazy about you.

this matter.

Looking at Sheng Yi's bright eyes, Rong Yu clicked an ellipsis in the air like a secret signal that only the two of them knew.

Two index fingers touch lightly through the air.

The surroundings became quiet, and the invigilator urged candidates not far away to enter the examination room.

Looking at each other and smiling, the two walked towards the examination room.
