be late

·

The night covered the vast white snow, and in the silent night, the whistling sound of passing cars was occasionally heard, like the sound of wind coming from afar.The restaurant is brightly lit, and small snowflakes swirl in the beam of light.

It was cold and quiet.

Shu Yubai's mind buzzed, and it went blank for a moment.

For a long time, she almost thought that she had an auditory hallucination, and the whole world became blurred, only Nan Xue's words "Let's separate first" kept ringing in her ears, with the sound of the wind, over and over again.

Look.

How clear, what she thought of as "like" even caused troubles to others.

Shu Yubai's fingertips trembled slightly, she covered her frozen face, but found that her hands were also unbearably cold.

She was embarrassed and embarrassed.

In the past, she thought that even if everyone and everything left her, she still had Nan Xue, as long as she was there, it was enough, but at this time, Nan Xue also said that she wanted to separate.

Why on earth?

She didn't feel moved at all?

Nan Xue didn't look at her, she lowered her head and took out her mobile phone from her small black leather bag.

Then dial.

Shu Yubai lowered his eyes, but looked at her from the corner of his eye.

She is so pretty, even at this moment, I still like her after seeing her.

Black hair and snow skin, full lips, like ripe berries with juice.She was dressed in a thick down jacket, with two long white legs, a thin waist, slender and thin like a model, and a pair of clear and bright eyes, which were too cold, like melting ice.

His eyes were cold, as if he had no emotion at all.

The next moment, Nan Xue was pinching the phone, and the voice of the phone came: "...Xiao Zhu, please come and pick it up, the location has been sent to you. I'm standing at the door of the hotel, thank you."

Nan Xue hung up the phone.

Shu Yubai asked her: "Are you leaving?"

Nan Xue avoided Shu Yubai's gaze, looked at the other side, and said, "Yes. Please calm down first, okay?"

Shu Yubai looked at her without blinking.

Cold all over.

After a while, a smile appeared on her lips, her eyes were still gentle, and she said: "Then you, take care of yourself."

Nan Xue didn't answer.

After a while, a black Maybach parked on the side of the road, the window slowly moved down, and Xiao He, her father's assistant, showed his face.

Nan Xue's short boots stepped on a patch of clean snow and walked to the side of the car. The assistant got out of the car and opened the door for her, and she got in the car.

"Mr. Xiaonan, where are you going?"

The heater was turned on in the car, and the heat made people feel at a loss.

Nan Xuean leaned quietly on the back seat, a pair of pitch-black eyes were reflected in the rearview mirror, the man rested his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Wait a minute."

Nan Xue looked out the window.

The snow-covered city is blurred under the night, and the wind is cold, with snow flakes scraping on the window glass, with a harsh and cruel meaning.

Beside the road, Shu Yubai was still standing under the street lamp, motionless, as if frozen.

Nan Xue leaned against the window, the hot air from her breath condensed on the car glass, and it became foggy.Shu Yubai's figure became blurred.She hesitated for a moment, wiped it off with her fine white fingertips, and looked over again.

Shu Yubai slowly bent down.

The thin coat outlines her figure, long hair, slender waist, obviously very young, but at this moment, it feels like she is carrying too much, slightly bent over, and her back is very tired.

At this time, looking at her still makes me feel distressed.

She tried to suppress the emotions in her heart.

Xiao He looked into her eyes from the rearview mirror, hesitant to speak.

Nan Xue only looked away lightly, raised her eyebrows: "What are you looking at?"

Xiao He: "..."

Shu Yubai buried his face in his palms, with his long hair loose, and took a deep breath.

In the distance, Xiao Yi walked with another girl, as if to comfort her.

Shu Yubai followed them and left.

Walking to the end of the road, Shu Yubai suddenly turned his head.

Nan Xue had already said to Xiao He, "Let's go."

The car drove away.

Shu Yubai only saw a flickering tail light.

Good.

Very unfeeling.

Nan Xue lowered her eyes to see the countless missed calls on her mobile phone, which were still increasing.Her fingertips hung in the air and trembled, but none of them responded.

After an unknown amount of time, the calls finally stopped.

·

The city, which has been weathered for many years, is covered with snow, but it feels bleak and desolate.Unmelted ice formed on the side of the asphalt road, and a layer of snow covered the branches, high-rise buildings, and residents' balconies.

But the silence was terrifying.

The car drove across a river and got on the bridge. Nanxue looked into the distance. Their home was on the opposite side of the river.

The river reflects thousands of lights.

go back?

She doesn't want to.If they go back at this time, Shu Yubai will think that they still have a chance, Nan Xue doesn't want her to think too much, and doesn't want her to waste unworthy feelings on her.If she can't respond, she should clearly refuse.

Xiao He looked at the rearview mirror, Nan Xue was looking out the window in a daze, her indifferent eyeballs reflected the flowing night light.

"Mr. Xiaonan, I've been here three times already."

"Where are you going?"

Nan Xue sighed softly and said, "Where do you live now? I'll go and see."

Xiao He then took her to a hotel.

Nan Xue didn't bring anything, but luckily she still had her ID card in her wallet, so Xiao He held her ID card, booked a room for her, and checked in.

When entering the room, Xiao He looked at her expression, and whispered: "Have you and Miss Yubai had a conflict?"

The figure that had been dispersed with great difficulty broke in again.

Nan Xue paused for a moment, then said coldly: "Don't mention her to me."

Oh.

Xiao He glanced at her and thought, there is a contradiction.

It's strange, no matter how Nan's father yelled at the beginning, telling her to go back, she refused to separate from Shu Yubai, but now she left by herself.

Xiao He tentatively asked: "Otherwise, go home in a few days? Mr. Nan misses you very much."

Nan Xue shook her head and said softly, "Let's talk about it."

She closed the sensor door of the hotel room, took off the thick down, hung it on the coat rack, and left a thin sweater.She lifted the quilt and shrank in.

I closed my eyes and thought to myself, what is Shu Yubai doing.

Have dinner with Xiao Yi?

Still have gone home.

The quilt was very thick, and it was stuffy and hot. She suddenly remembered that they were sleeping in the same quilt at the hot spring hotel that day.

Nan Xue slowly stretched out her thin white fingertips and touched her lips.

It was warm, and seemed to have her taste.

Her lips are so soft.

The next second, Nan Xue closed her eyes again, turned over, and rolled up the quilt even tighter.

The expression is self-contained and indifferent.

·

Nan Xue stayed in that hotel for a week.

Xiao He is fine, in this city she mainly helps her father with work here, and takes care of Nan Xue by the way.He was not in a hurry to live all the time, but Nan Xue didn't understand what he was doing.

Go back to see Shu Yubai, but she is unwilling.

Going back to her father's place and completely breaking off contact with Shu Yubai, she couldn't let go.

I had no choice but to stay in this hotel.

Maybe one day, Shu Yubai let go and she goes back, and they can continue to be friends.

In cold weather, no matter what time it is, the sky is always a gray-blue haze, with no warm light to be seen.The sky is slightly white, and the city is gray, as if shrouded in an old dream that cannot be awakened.

morning.

Nan Xue stood in front of the mirror again.The person in the mirror hadn't seen the sky for some time, his face was pale, and he couldn't see the color of blood, and even the blue veins under his skin were clear.Nan Xue washed her face, dried it, didn't want to put on makeup, so she put on some lipstick and went out.

Unexpectedly, I went downstairs to have breakfast and saw a familiar figure.

It was a girl, very young, and her eyes were like crescent moons when she smiled, very sweet.She was wearing a pleated skirt and a cropped pullover, and she was sitting there eating breakfast, smiling like no one else was around.

There was once a relationship in Xiao Yi's studio, at that time, Shu Yubai was holding her hand and teaching her how to draw.

—— Dongling.

She is here, but what about Shu Yubai?

I thought of Shu Yubai again.

Nan Xue's face suddenly turned cold, and she frowned, looking a little annoyed.

Dong Ling sat in the middle near the self-service bar, surrounded by a few people who seemed to know her, and raised their heads to chat with her from time to time.

Yanyan's words and smiles.

Ben was about to go to the window on the right, but at this moment, he paused subtly, turned around, and sat opposite her with a dinner plate.

"Why are you here?"

Nan Xue asked her.

Dong Ling was sucking on the breakfast noodles, she paused and looked at her.

Nan Xue wore a pure white turtleneck sweater, and carried a small black leather bag across her shoulders. She had a snow-white complexion, lips like cherries, and her long, thin legs and slender waist were clearly exposed.She was holding the plate without disturbing others' self-consciousness about eating, with a bit of inquiry in her eyes.

"You don't draw anymore?"

Dong Ling looked at the person in front of her, wanted to have a good breakfast, but lost her appetite in an instant.

"The exhibition hall on the third floor of the hotel is a painting exhibition, and I'll help."

"Uh, breakfast is sent by the organizer."

Chatting with strangers is not Nan Xue's hobby.

While eating bread, she chatted endlessly with Dongling

Most of the time, Dong Ling was afraid of being left alone, racked her brains to search various topics, and tried to communicate friendly, but in exchange for Nan Xue's "um" or "yes".

Looking at the delicate and beautiful girl opposite, she suddenly began to admire Shu Yubai from the bottom of her heart: she was able to stay with this kind of human-shaped ice cube for such a long time. She is indeed the gentle and kind sister Yubai.In her case, she would have run away long ago.

"The weather is pretty good today." Dong Ling looked out the window.

"Well, minus 3 degrees." Nan Xue didn't lift her head.

"How do you know?" Dong Ling asked.

"I read the weather forecast in the morning." Nan Xue replied.

……

Nan Xue looked at her, the name "Shu Yubai" was about to pop out of her mouth several times, but she suppressed it again.

Finally, Dong Ling ate the last bite of breakfast in the long embarrassment.

She picked up the plate: "Then I'll take it out first."

Nan Xue stood up instantly: "Wait."

Dong Ling was curious: "Huh?"

Nan Xue asked slowly: "Did Shu Yubai go to your place these few days?"

Dong Ling recalled blankly for a moment, and said, "Nope. I haven't seen Sister Yubai for a long time."

"Oh."

Nan Xue sat down.

She pinched the napkin with her slender white index finger and wiped her red lips.

I can't tell what I feel.

Lost?

how come.

She lowered her cold and thin eyelids, competing with herself.

In the evening, a light snow fell in the sky, and the temperature dropped for a while.

There are few pedestrians on the green brick path, some with umbrellas, some without umbrellas, the snow has been trampled hard, leaving overlapping footprints, dirty.

Nan Xue thought, I'll go back and see that puppy.

What if Shu Yubai is in a bad mood and forgets to feed him.

Gently ringing.

Insert the key into the lock cylinder and unscrew it. Nan Xue stood in the dim corridor where the sensor lights were on and looked in. The room was pitch black and there was no sound at all. She called the puppy's name, but there was no little thing pounced on it. Come and bite her trousers.

The whole house was deserted, and it had been unoccupied for some time.
