You were the one who wanted to separate

The noodles were actually delicious, but Xiu Qi didn't have much appetite. He managed to eat two mouthfuls of noodles and poked the soft-boiled egg a few times, but he still didn't eat.He has never liked to eat this kind of half-boiled eggs, but the person in front of him cannot know.

After eating half a bowl of noodles, Mu Yu raised his head and glanced at Xiu Qi: "If you don't like it, don't eat it." Then, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up the poked runny egg from Xiu Qi's bowl. In his own bowl, "I will remember to boil the eggs next time."

"There will be no next time." Xiu Qi put down the chopsticks in his hand, with a dull expression, "Mu Yu, let's talk about it. I don't know what you are thinking, and I don't know whether it is really a coincidence that made you do this." It appeared in front of me again and again in two days, but I hope that after today's meal, the two of us will not see each other again." Xiu Qi lowered his eyes and looked at his noodle bowl, "Although many years have passed, but, I think There are some things you should not forget, those pasts remind us all the time, it is impossible to pretend that it is just old friends whom we haven’t seen for many years.”

Mu Yu didn't answer right away, he just lowered his head and concentrated on eating, until he ate all the noodles and the egg in the bowl, then put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and replied calmly: " OK, I see."

What do you unserstand?Xiu Qi thought a little helplessly.He stood up and took the bowl in front of Mu Yu: "Then I won't give it away, I'll wash the bowl."

A slightly cold hand was pressed on the back of his hand, Xiu Qi glanced at it subconsciously, it was still the slender fingers in memory, because of playing basketball for many years, the knuckles were a little thicker, if you put that hand You should still be able to see the obvious thin callus when you turn your hand over.

"Since it's the last time, let's start well and end well." After Mu Yu finished speaking, he put away the bowl on the table while Xiu Qi was stunned, got up and went into the kitchen.

"Muyu Muyu, what if I can't learn how to cook in the future?"

"I learn."

"But I don't like doing the dishes either."

"I don't worry about you washing the dishes, so I'll do it too."

Xiu Qi closed his eyes forcefully, trying to clear those two voices from his mind.He sat back in the rocking chair, stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, it seemed that he had not recovered from the fever, that's why he felt so uncomfortable, people are always a little weaker when they are sick.

Xiu Qi leaned in the rocking chair, turned his gaze out of the window again, and heard the sound of water in the kitchen stop, followed by the sound of soft leather heels on the floor tiles, from far to near.He suddenly remembered how much this person liked to wear basketball shoes in the past, and then he laughed at himself, closed his eyes and let himself go.

The sound of footsteps stopped behind him, Xiu Qi didn't move, he still closed his eyes, listening to the man taking out a piece of paper and drying his hands before he said, "The dishes are finished."

"Well, thank you." Xiu Qi replied lazily, "I won't give it away."

The man seemed to froze for a moment, and then said, "Okay, goodbye."

Xiu Qi slowly opened his eyes, turned the chair to look into Mu Yu's eyes, and said with a smile: "No, Mu Yu, let's not see each other again."

Mu Yu lowered his eyes, forced a smile, seemed to swallow back what he wanted to say: "Okay." After speaking, he pushed open the front door and walked into the night without looking back.

Xiu Qi got up slowly and walked to the window, he saw the man go straight to the car, lit a cigarette by the driver's door, he kept looking in that direction, he knew that Mu Yu was also looking at him, They just looked at each other through a window through the night.

Mu Yu's cigarette finally burned out. He took a last look in the direction of the supermarket, opened the driver's door, and got in the car.Xiu Qi watched the car start and then disappeared from his vision.

The chance meeting in these two days has more or less set off some waves in the hearts of the two of them, and now it is finally time to end.

That's fine, some things have already come to an end, and seeing each other again is the best destination for the two of them.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and writing those few chapters in the afternoon consumed most of Xiu Qi's energy. Now he just wants to go back upstairs, nestle in his soft quilt and have a good sleep, and when he wakes up tomorrow morning, All these messy emotions stay together in sleep.Then he began to continue to experience the life of a single dog that he had just started.

Xiu Qi thought that he could sleep for at least one day and one night with this sleep. When the phone rang, he was still immersed in that complicated dream and did not wake up. He leaned on the pillow in a daze for a while before realizing that there was a phone ringing. He lifted the pillow and rummaged for a long time, and finally picked up the quiet phone from under the bed.After poking the screen, he saw You You's missed call, so he dialed it back.

You You's voice was full of vigor: "Hey, haven't you woken up after hearing this voice? Xiu Qi, let me tell you that it's fortunate that you can write. Otherwise, with your daily routine, your supermarket will starve you to death sooner or later."

Xiu Qi raised his hand and touched his forehead, the fever had completely subsided, he opened his mouth to speak and found that his voice was hoarse, he coughed hard a few times before he forced himself to speak: "What's the matter?"

You You was obviously taken aback when he heard his voice, and asked after a long time: "Are you okay? What's wrong with your throat?"

"Sister You, are you still ashamed to say it?" Xiu Qi leaned back on the bed and replied weakly, "Did you drink a lot last night, do you know how many degrees the air conditioner was when I woke up yesterday? 16 degrees, I just Then it’s good to be alive after sleeping on the sofa all night.”

"As a weak woman, the motivation to drag you home drunk and dead is all due to the fragile friendship between us?" You You thought for a while and said, "Can I still go out? If I usually I let you go, but someone came back and asked you to be with me by name, if you don't show up, I'm afraid you will lose one of your few friends."

Xiu Qi thought for a while and asked, "Jiang Yuan is back?"

You You laughed on the other end of the phone: "Who else can there be besides him? Last night's plane, I called me to make an appointment for a meal when I woke up in the morning, and asked you to go by name. It said that you couldn't get through on the phone, so wechat talked to you I didn't return either."

Xiu Qi frowned and thought for a while: "Usually we use WeChat to communicate. Maybe I forgot to tell him when I changed my number before. Isn't he a graduate student who has already graduated and is so busy with work? Why did he come back suddenly?"

The smile in You You's voice dissipated, and he said softly: "Zhou Sheng is getting married, he said he would always come back to see."

Xiu Qi was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes slightly: "Okay, I see. The two of you make an appointment and let me know on WeChat."

"Yeah." Before hanging up the phone, You You suddenly said, "Xiu Qi, are you okay?"

"Me? It's just a cold, it's not that serious." Xiu Qi said lightly.

"I didn't mean that. I checked Weibo in the morning and saw you opened a new hole, so I clicked in and took a look," You You said, "I didn't expect you to write this story this time."

Xiu Qi smiled slightly: "It's been so many years, so I don't dare to face it anymore. I've been writing sweet articles for too long and suddenly I want to write something to change my appetite. I'm an author after all, so I always have a bit of professional ethics."

You You sighed softly on the phone: "Okay, let's do this first, see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Xiu Qi was stunned for a while, then suddenly woke up and turned over, half lying under the bed and dragged out a huge wooden box, wiped off the dust covered on it, and rummaged through a pile of yellowed old books inside for a long time, Finally found an old photo.

There are four teenagers in the photo, Mu Yu with an expressionless face, himself holding his arms and smiling blindly, the thinner one beside him is Jiang Yuan, and Zhou Sheng next to him.

Time is really a special magical thing, you never know what your life will look like as time changes, and you will never know who the boy who once belonged to you will end up with.It's like the two couples of teenagers in the photo, who once naively thought that they would be with the person around them forever, but now, one pair never gets in touch with each other, and the other...

Jiang Yuan has always had more courage than himself, at least if it was him, he would not have the courage to attend the wedding of his former lover no matter what.Fortunately, he doesn't have such worries. Even if a person like Mu Yu can't meet a suitable man again, he won't marry a woman.In his kind of eyes, principles should be more important than anything else.

But this has nothing to do with him.

Xiu Qi stared at the photo for a while.When he separated from Mu Yu at the beginning, he destroyed all the things related to each other that he could think of in his hand, but this photo was saved because it was sandwiched in the old textbook, and when he found it again by chance later, he had no I was so extreme when I first broke up, and I was caught in the book again until now.

In the eyes of Xiu Qi at this age, this photo probably represents only the youth that the four of them will never get back.

Putting the photo back to its original place, Xiu Qi slowly got up from the ground, a new day had begun, and he was going to continue his life.

After tidying up briefly, and opening the supermarket, Xiu Qi sat down in front of the computer again.The story of Xiu Qi and Mu Yu has long since ended, but the story of Xiu Qi and Mu Yu has just begun.
