I can't remember when was the last time I cried, I have long forgotten the dull pain, so that now I suddenly start to cry, I can't control my emotions at all, I can only let the tears fall in strings , The nose couldn't breathe at all, and the mouth had to be sobbing constantly, and the big raindrops hit the mouth directly.

There was already a lot of water vapor in the eyes, and some rainwater poured in from time to time, and they were so dazed that they couldn't see.I raised my forearm and wiped it on my eyes, and it became clearer immediately, but the eyelashes stuck together in twos and threes because of the water.After wiping my tears, I suddenly remembered that I was still holding the sketchbook in my hands. If I got wet from the rain, there was no way to remedy it. I quickly retracted my arms and pressed them against my abdomen. in front of you.

I originally thought that Ning Ran would soften her attitude a little because of my crying, and try to comfort me, but she just froze there, with no intention of stepping forward or opening her mouth.

If it was before, she must have been handing me tissues.In fact, it's not true, she would never let me cry when I was sad.

The Ning Ran in front of me seemed to have been dumped. She was not the girl I had known and grown up with for several years, which made me feel very strange.

My throat tightened, a strong soreness filled my nasal cavity, and I gasped when I spoke, "Are you leaving me alone?"

Even though I knew the answer would not be what I wanted, I still asked the question unwillingly.

Ning Ran's eyes were a little wandering, and after a brief absence, he refocused and looked directly at me with a calm and composed face, which made me daunted.

"It's raining." She avoided my question, lowered her eyelids to look at the large water marks on the ground, and then cast her gaze to the eaves of the nearby shop, "Go and hide first."

I was full of loss and anger, my self-protection mechanism was triggered, and I subconsciously wanted to stay away from her, lest I continue to suffer more harm.So he didn't intend to listen to her to hide from the rain, but turned in the opposite direction, going against her.

Ning Ran grabbed me, her expression was deep and she didn't say a word, she directly dragged me forward with her hands, her steps were unusually firm.

I was unable to struggle, and was almost thrown under the eaves by her, standing hunched against the wall, my body was already soaked by the rain, and my hair was all wet on my face, looking very embarrassed.

The long silence made people feel suffocated. We seemed to only concentrate on our own concerns and gave up on continuing to communicate. We were like two strangers under the same roof without disturbing each other.

The rain was wrapped in a sultry air, but it made me shiver uncontrollably when it blew on my body.

This rain was so short that it stopped before I wiped away my tears.After crying, my eyes were itchy like sand, and I had to blink constantly to make them feel better.

Without wasting any more time, we headed home on foot and back.When they walked downstairs, both of them slowed down, as if they were hesitantly waiting for the other to speak.

In the end, Ning Ran became cruel, and said goodbye to me in a very soft voice, "That's it, goodbye."

I clenched my fists and didn't answer, but I didn't want this goodbye to be so far away.

I developed a fever that night.My whole body was sore, hot and cold, I couldn't rest in a sleepy state, and my mind was as heavy as if I had been soaked in water all night.Presumably it was because of the rain and the cold, and the mood was not depressed, so I suddenly had a fever.

When my mother came to wake me up in the morning, it was naturally a failure.I heard someone talking in my ear, but my mind was as blurred as a paste, and it took a lot of effort to react.

"You guys go, I'm a little uncomfortable, I want to sleep for a while." I opened my mouth, my throat was hoarse and swollen, and the tip of my tongue felt hot when it touched my upper jaw.

Maybe it’s because I usually have a good physique and rarely get sick. My mother didn’t take my fever too seriously. She just told me not to blow the fan or turn on the air conditioner. I closed the door and went to Ning Ran's house to help.

Then I fell into a coma, and when I woke up it was already 04:30 in the afternoon.I was sweating all over, and the pajamas stuck to my body made me panic.Stretching out a hand to stick it on the head, the temperature has dropped a lot.

Not long after I woke up, A Rui knocked on the door and came to visit me.After opening the door, I subconsciously looked behind her, but there was only an empty corridor, and there were no other figures.I closed the door with a shake of my hand, and couldn't help but smile, am I still looking forward to something?

"How are you? Do you still have a fever?" A Rui took my temperature with the back of her hand and asked me with concern.

"It's much better, the body temperature is basically normal."

She nodded reassuringly, and as if she had remembered something, she said to herself, "I originally asked Ran Ran to come and see you, but the parents said that she had been traveling all day, and the two sides were far away, so it was hard to come back again." Come back and run for a while, and ask me to come over as a representative to express condolences to you."

"How is it? Am I interesting enough?" A Rui asked for credit with a shy face, but I didn't have much interest in joking with her. I just nodded my head hypocritically, urging her to go back and rest.

"Okay, I've already felt your concern. You've been tired all day, go back and rest early, it's time for dinner later." I just didn't want to give her a chance to describe the appearance of Ning Ran's new home, lest I'm bored.

Fortunately, A Rui didn't notice, snatched a can of iced Coke from me, and bounced back.

I thought that even if Ning Ran didn't have time to come and see me on the day of the move, he would always be free afterwards, right?After all, I have a fever intermittently, so even as a good friend, I should take care of it, right?But I waited for several days and there was no news from her.Later, A Rui told me that Ning Ran went back to her grandparents' house to escape the summer heat after filling out her application form.

Oh, to escape the heat?The distance between the two places is only [-] kilometers, so where can it be cool?Is she out of her mind?It's so perfunctory to make excuses.

I gradually accepted the fact that I was "abandoned", and the deadline for voluntary submissions was approaching so that I had no time to complain about myself. After discussing with my parents, I chose a key university in the provincial capital as my first choice. Yes, it was Tao Songnian. that one.

This is entirely a coincidence. The school was proposed by my father. It has a good reputation and strength, and there are quite a lot of students in the province. I have great confidence.Furthermore, the school is close to home, which is convenient for me to come back at any time.It couldn't have been more appropriate.

From A Rui, I learned that Ning Ran had indeed received an admission letter from a school in the coastal area, and as she expected, she was still an ace major.

I didn't see her off on the day she left for school, so I made a random excuse, but I've forgotten all about it now.

"Have you quarreled?" A Rui went to see her off, and as soon as she came back, she asked the teacher, "I always feel weird, are you guys in a cold war recently? I'm going to see Ran Ran off today, and I said you can't come, She was not surprised at all, as if she had guessed it completely."

"So what's the matter with you?"

I opened my eyes wide and smiled at her, then changed the subject casually, "When is Qiu Zicheng leaving? You still have to go to the train station to see her off?"

A Rui was also admitted to a university in the provincial capital, but it was not the same one as mine, just in two opposite directions.Qiu Zicheng did not stay in the province. The major he wanted to study only started in schools in the province, and his academic strength was limited, so he simply gritted his teeth and applied to the school next door to Ning Ran.I searched on Google Maps, and it is really next door, only one street away.

The intention of changing the subject was too obvious, A Rui gave me a dissatisfied look, and didn't bother me anymore, "Forget it, don't say it if you don't want to, at worst, I'll ask Ran Ran directly."

My hand holding the TV remote control unconsciously overreacted, and the screen jumped to another channel that was advertising, which was so noisy.

"Lao Qiu will leave the day after tomorrow. His family members are going to the station to see him off, so it's inconvenient for me to show up."

"Ha, then in the next two days, you have to hurry up and have a good time, otherwise, how can you survive the long time in different places." I restrained my emotions and teased her palely.

A Rui didn't care, and smiled naturally, "Don't be afraid, the days will pass in a blink of an eye. We have already prepared in our hearts."

Don't be afraid, where is there not to be afraid?I thought to myself, it's a pity that none of us are as fearless as A Rui.

After I got the admission notice, I took a photo and sent it to Tao Songnian, who gave me a warm welcome.

-What's the meaning?Have you been admitted to our school?

-Still in the same academy as me?

-Um.

-OK!Come on!I will show you the colorful world!

I stared at the words "Flower World" and laughed sadly. Does this meet Ning Ran's wish?She said it herself, asking me to expand my radius of life, isn't it just a walk in the world of flowers?

- Hey wait, Ning Ran is also in the province?Isn't her score high?It's a pity to report to the province, right?

I was thinking about it, but suddenly saw the new news, my expression froze, and my mood sank again.

-No.She went to the coast.

- we are not together.

This time, it took a long time for Tao Songnian to reply with a string of ellipses, asking if I am sad?She's so smart, she picks up on what I'm saying.

I typed a long paragraph, then deleted all of it, and finally sent a [smiling] emoji, and everything was left unsaid.

She didn't comfort me for a long time, she only said three words, looking forward.

Things have come to this, and I certainly can't stand still, or even get out of it.Regardless of whether Ning Ran is there or not, life has to go on.

When I was packing my luggage before school started, I noticed the sketchbook on the desk. The cover was damp because of the rain that day, and it was already uneven, but fortunately, the inner pages were not affected.

After much deliberation, I decided to take it with me, as a reminder for myself, just as a reassurance.
