Spring Branches

"Lu Yisi is my first love."

"..."

After hearing this, Shen Ran did not show much shock on his face. He just chuckled and then stared at the little boy and girl in front of him in a daze.

Tang Asi, on the other hand, was extremely surprised.

Her impression of him still remained in her childhood.

I thought Shen Ran would laugh at me and embarrass me, but I didn't expect him to be so calm.

So Tang Asi sighed softly, turned his head and stared at Shen Ran's profile and asked, "Why are you so calm?"

Shen Ran slowly turned his gaze towards Tang Asi, staring at her for three full seconds without saying anything, and finally just touched her head.

Tang Asi didn't understand what Shen Ran meant.

He gave himself a very strong sense of security.

His eyes seemed to say: Little girl, no matter what decision you make, I will understand and support you.

He didn't say anything, but his eyes and behavior proved what he meant.

Tang Asi's eyes suddenly turned red.

I want to cry.

I can hardly hold it in anymore.

She stared at him, her eyes misty and tears seemed about to burst out.

Shen Ran smiled softly, pinched Tang Asi's cheek, and said, "Silly girl, you were so moved that you cried."

After about a minute, Shen Ran looked affectionate again and said, "Shouldn't it be grievance?"

Feeling wronged and touched.

All.

It’s just that the grievance is greater than the touching feeling.

She had never told anyone about what had happened during these days and years. She didn't know who to tell. Their eyes showed different emotions, mostly listening to jokes. So she never mentioned it.

Now it's okay, I can finally lift it up.

It can be regarded as the end of all hardships.

Tang Asi burst into tears, his back trembled, and he said slowly: "Shen Ran, my good friend, I have had a very difficult time these years."

Before being with Lu Yisi, she had gone through a lot of unspeakable pain, all alone.

She owed a lot of foreign debts, as well as her mother Tang Shiyan's medical expenses, and her almost broken heart, which forced her to grow up again and again.

There were many times when she didn't want to study anymore and sat on the rooftop in a daze. The painful images in her mind could not be shaken off, as if they were going to take her life.

Tang Shiyan threatened Tang Asi with her life, forcing her to continue studying and become an outstanding person, someone that everyone would look up to.

For a while, Tang Asi suffered from depression, and it was at that time that he met Lu Yisi. They fought against the disease together and were each other's strongest support. They agreed that no one in this world could destroy them! Unless they gave up on themselves.

After the two of them got together, there were many times when Tang Asi couldn't hold on because of the disparity in their status and position, and the difference in food and accommodation conditions.

Finally, after getting through the adjustment period, they became happier and happier. With the help of Lu Yisi, Tang Asi paid off his debts and sent his mother to the hospital.

After everything settled down and Tang Asi was admitted to graduate school, she dared to go back with Lu Yisi to meet her parents.

From the initial opposition to their agreement, they went through many painful days in between.

Tang Asi clearly remembered how Lu Yichuan reacted when she and Lu Yisi came home and saw them holding hands. He always gave people the feeling of forbearance. He and Lu's father and mother disagreed with this marriage. Lu Yisi invited Lu Yichuan to dinner many times, wanting him to be a lobbyist, but Lu Yichuan refused to let him in. They couldn't even see his figure.

And now...the lobbyist is marrying herself.

Is this fate?

no.

This is what Tang Asi thinks.

There was only interest between them, and there was no real feeling. If there was, it was probably just being touched. The most simple feeling of gratitude.

"I'm willing to be your listener." Shen Ran looked into Tang Asi's eyes, his eyes full of tenderness and determination.

Just like when I was a kid.

I'll keep it a secret for you, trust me.

There was no awkward drama like other reunions after a long separation, and they were still as natural and harmonious as they were when they were children.

They are friendships that last forever.

Shen Ran handed a tissue to Tang Asi.

Tang Asi cried loudly.

She felt that crying was ugly, so she buried her head in Shen Ran's chest.

He said, "Cry, little girl. It will make you feel better."

People passing by cast curious and puzzled glances at them.

Shen Ran turned a blind eye to it all.

The little girl is the oldest today.

He patted her back gently and whispered, "I'm always here. There will be no gap between us."

She cried even harder.

Shen Ran smiled.

Tears were welling up in my eyes.

Very distressed.

After crying for a while, Tang Asi raised his body.

The mood has improved a lot.

She said, "What about you, Shen Ran? How have you been these years? Have you been doing well?"

Shen Ran just shook his head and smiled without saying anything.

He was not having a good time.

He also felt aggrieved and had a lot to say.

But not now, he didn't want to make her worry.

She is the sun.

She should be happy.

Not bothered by anything.

It’s nobody’s business.

Including myself.

"Speak, Shen Ran." Tang Asi urged, but Shen Ran still smiled.

Smiling with a happy face.

Why are you happy???

Tang Asi tilted his head to look at Shen Ran, frowning in confusion.

Shen Ran said: "You are so stupid."

Tang Asi glared at Shen Ran, "You also..."

Before I could utter the word "same", the cell phone in my pocket rang.

She lowered her eyes to check the caller ID and quickly picked up the phone.

[You haven't rested yet?] Tang Asi asked Lu Yichuan on the other end of the phone.

The voice on the other end sounded particularly sleepy, and he said weakly: [I woke up.]

[What time are you awake at this moment? ? ? ]

[Three twenty-five in the morning.] Lu Yichuan answered.

[……] Tang Asi did not speak.

Some didn't respond.

After being stunned for three full seconds, he asked again: [Did you just finish overtime and plan to take a break??? Or???]

The person on the other end of the phone sighed feebly, then sneered: "Guess?"

[……]Tang Asi was so angry that he laughed.

She was very worried.

He was joking.

[Can you be serious?]

Lu Yichuan laughed softly again and said: [I just had a dream.]

[What happened next?] Tang Asi's eyelids twitched, and he felt a bit unhappy.

Something must have happened to him.

Tang Asi couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

[I dreamed of you.] Lu Yichuan said slowly.

[What happened to me in the dream?]

There was another long sigh, "You don't want me anymore."
