The second time probably wasn't a quarrel either.

On Jiang Bailu's birthday one year, Chris gave him a ring.The ring is delicate and elegant, and looks expensive.It was left by Chris's mother, probably in the hope that the other party would give this ring to his future girlfriend, so it is a female ring.

Jiang Bailu held the ring and gestured between his fingers, and was a little surprised to find that his ring finger could put the ring on it.It's just that he was a little ashamed to wear a women's ring, and he was unwilling to return the ring to Chris, so he simply thought of a compromise, went to a jewelry store and bought a red string to hang the ring around his neck.

However, within a few days, an accident happened. Jiang Bailu lost the ring Chris gave him.At that time, he was buying Coke in front of a vending machine on the street near the school. Not far behind him, an old white lady was robbed of her handbag in the street. A burgundy women's bag flew by her side.

Jiang Bailu was stunned for a second, and before he even had time to take the Coke that had rolled down to the outlet, he subconsciously ran after him.There were a few black girls standing sporadically on the side of the road, reacting

Shi Ye chased after him.

It's just that the girl's physical strength is not as good as the boy's, so she was quickly thrown off by the man, calling each other to use the mobile phone to call the police.Only Jiang Bailu barely stayed behind the opponent, but he was also out of breath, and his legs were as heavy as lead.

Seeing that the distance between him and the other party was about to increase, Jiang Bailu caught a glimpse of an unlocked bicycle parked by the lamppost from the corner of his eye.Thinking about it afterwards, he didn't understand where the extra strength came from, so he lifted the bicycle and threw it over.

The man who snatched the bag was hit by the bicycle, and immediately fell face down unexpectedly.Jiang Bailu stepped forward and sat straight on the bicycle, leaning over and taking the wine red lady's handbag out of the cursing man's hand.

The black girl helped the old lady to come over, Jiang Bailu returned the handbag to her, but froze when she lowered her head to straighten her collar.

The neck that should have been hung with a red string was empty, and the ring also disappeared.

Jiang Bailu's mind went blank for a second, and he stood up subconsciously, turning a deaf ear to the voice of the old lady behind him, and hurriedly walked back along the way he came from without raising his head.

No one knew, he skipped his compulsory classes in the afternoon and searched for the ring on the side of the road all afternoon.Even he himself didn't know when the ring was thrown out, so naturally he searched for it all afternoon to no avail.

The number of students who came out to eat in the evening gradually increased. Jiang Bailu finally gave up the idea of ​​searching, squatted on the side of the street and thought for a while, and finally found an excuse and called Chris to say that he would go back to school for two days.

The ring hangs around his neck every day. As long as he and Chris meet, the other party will find out that the ring is missing sooner or later.Thinking for a moment that the ring was left by Chris' mother, and he lost it within a few days after leaving it with him, a huge sense of guilt would surge in his chest.

Before he came up with a perfect solution, Jiang Bailu didn't even want to see Chris anymore.

Jiang Bailu lived in the school apartment for several days. Occasionally, when Chris called to meet and have a meal, Jiang Bailu refused with various reasons.His roommate Allen once thought it was raining red, and even asked him and Chris in a cold war.

Every semester when the final exams are approaching, Jiang Bailu will always move back to the school apartment for a few days.Chris was busy working part-time all day, so he naturally didn't suspect that Jiang Bailu was lying.

It wasn't until Friday afternoon, when Chris looked at Jiang Bailu's class schedule, changed shifts with a part-time student in a coffee shop, and went to pick him up at school, that he realized something was wrong.

He came to the hall of the teaching building two minutes before the bell rang, stood at the door and raised his head after sending a message to Jiang Bailu, but saw Jiang Bailu, who hadn't seen him for two or three days, mixed in the bustling student crowd, with his head down. Passed by behind him silently.

The boy frowned immediately.

He picked up his mobile phone and called Jiang Bailu. The first second the call was connected, he didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you avoiding me?"

Jiang Bailu's fingers trembled slightly in shock, and he accidentally pressed the hang up button in a daze.He was silent for a second, turned his head like a soul, and looked over the surging crowd. As expected, he saw Chris standing at the other end of the crowd holding his mobile phone, looking over from a distance, his face dark and heavy.

Jiang Bailu stood still, not daring to move, and honestly waited for Chris to go through the crowd to carry him home.

Half an hour later, Jiang Bailu was pushed down on the bed in the small apartment, avoiding Chris' gaze with a guilty conscience and saying, "Listen to my explanation."

The latter stopped trying to take off his clothes, fixed his eyes on him, "I can explain." After the other party finished speaking, he paused for a second.

Jiang Bailu breathed a sigh of relief calmly.

Chris spoke again: "If you let me know that you are out fooling around with other men if you don't go home these few days, I will break your leg."

Jiang Bailu: "..."

He was a little speechless, "I've been living in the school apartment for the past two days."

Chris's eyes darkened for a moment, "You can't fool around with Allen."

Jiang Bailu: "..."

"It's agreed in advance that you can scold me, but you can't hit me." Jiang Bailu lowered his eyes, faltering and fumbling, "The day I called you, I ran into an old lady whose bag was robbed on the road at noon. "

A broad palm patted against his face, "Look up and look at me."

Jiang Bailu: "..."

He had no choice but to raise his head, and said bravely under the boy's scrutiny: "Then I will help the old lady chase the person who snatched the bag."

Chris's face turned cold in his voice, and his tone revealed a sense of calm before the storm for no reason: "Has anyone caught up?"

Jiang Bailu nodded, "I've caught up with you..." He paused slightly, his tone subconsciously lowered, "It's just... just... I lost the ring... I don't know where I lost it..."

After he finished speaking intermittently, when he raised his eyes, he saw that Chris' complexion became even uglier.Jiang Bailu's heart was pounding with guilt, but he still looked at the other party dryly, "I really didn't mean to lose it."

Chris's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he finally spoke in a reproachful tone, but what he asked had nothing to do with the ring: "Is there anyone else by the side of the road at that time?"

Jiang Bailu was stunned for a second, then truthfully replied, "How many girls are there?"

"Under such circumstances, you dare to catch up?" Chris's beautiful pupils were stained with a bit of sternness, "When you don't know whether the other party is carrying any dangerous weapons, and there is no one on the side of the road who can help you, Do you dare to chase after him?"

He almost laughed angrily, "You should know that American citizens can carry guns, not to mention that you don't know how to fight. What are you going to do after you catch up? What if you lose a ring but your own life after you catch up?" Woolen cloth?"

Jiang Bailu couldn't recover for a long time.After a long time, as if he finally digested the content of Chris's words, he bent his eyes and smiled, leaned over and hugged the other party's neck, kissed the corner of Chris's lips, and caressed the other's lips while gently Opening his lips lightly, he said: "I'm sorry, I will reflect on myself. I am also really sorry that I lost the ring your mother left you."

He raised his head and looked straight into the boy's amber eyes, "That's something very important to your mother, right?"

Chris lowered his eyes to think for a second, then raised his eyes again and said: "No, it's not something important. It's just a token of love from her ex-husband. From the moment she and my biological father decided to divorce , that ring will lose its original meaning. You shouldn’t choose to hide me because of your unauthorized speculation, because you don’t know what this will make you miss, for example—”

His tone was light, "Trust and rely on."

"Fortunately, it didn't make us miss anything important," Chris raised his hand to pinch Jiang Bailu's chin, and forced him to come closer to him. Their thin breaths intertwined, and Chris's pupils were deep. Jiang Bailu's face was clearly reflected everywhere, "You have to remember that things can be lost and mistakes can be made, but our home must not be returned."

That night, they were lingering on the old and familiar bed. Before falling asleep, Jiang Bailu's mind came up for no reason what Chris said in the afternoon, and he blurted out abruptly: "No matter what happens, you can do it." Did you not hide it?"

The boy raised his eyebrows and asked back: "You don't believe me?"

Jiang Bailu half-closed his eyes, trying to hold on to the last remaining sobriety to think slowly, "You can't be too absolute. In case something happens unexpectedly, such as..." He thought for a while, "Suddenly want to Separate, or is there a priority, so you have no time to say it?"

Chris didn't care much, "Since it's too late to speak, you can choose to write by hand or borrow any communication tools."

So what if time is so stingy that you can't even leave a moment for hands-on or texting?It was the last second before falling into a deep sleep, the only remaining thought in his dull, blank mind.

It's just that he couldn't say it in time.In the next second, such harsh thoughts that seemed to be difficult for others fell into the dark abyss of sleep along with his consciousness.

At this time, Jiang Bailu would not have thought that he would have a prophecy.

And, it will come so fast.
