After falling into the shadow's trap

The leaves outside the window were blown by the wind and fell from the trees in a whirl. The leaves were slightly yellowed, and some were curled.

Xi Heng sat in front of the desk by the window, looking out with his chin in his hand, there was no trace on the digital board placed on the desk.

It has been more than a month since Lan Xingyue went abroad. During this period, they have kept in touch and shared every bit of life with each other.

Although most of the time, it was Xi Heng who enthusiastically shared all the details with the other party, such as the leaves falling on the windowsill, the sparrows flying over the branches in groups, today I went to the supermarket and found that there was a promotional event for my favorite snacks.  … ... Lan Xingyue listened quietly over there, breathing clearly, as if it was close to her ears.

Just like every ordinary couple in different places.

The only difference is that they have never had a fight with most lovers.

In college, Xi Heng's roommate was a very cute girl with a baby face, a sweet voice and good grades.

That girl had a boyfriend, and the two of them saw each other right in high school, but due to their studies and age, they didn't really get together until the college entrance examination was over.

After going to college, the two began to live in different places.When school just started, Xi Heng could see her and her boyfriend making voice calls and video calls every now and then.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Within a month, the young couple started to quarrel over various inexplicable little things.

The voice was very loud, Xi Heng couldn't stop his roommate's high-pitched voice even with headphones on.

Often after the quarrel at night, after the lights are turned off, there will be a weak, suppressed sobbing sound from the roommate's bed curtain.

Due to the distance, the lack of sense of security and trust is caused by the distance. Every small emotion will be infinitely magnified because of not being able to see people. Many things that can be solved with a hug will inevitably become the fuse of quarrels.

Not to mention a foreign country separated by nearly [-] kilometers and seven or eight hours of time difference.

Originally, Xi Heng was also nervous and worried.

After all, she and Lan Xingyue had just been together, and the other party was going to a strange country thousands of miles away.

Xi Heng is afraid that this relationship that has not passed the test of time will fail halfway.

But later, she found that her worries were completely unnecessary.

In the more than a month since she and Lan Xingyue were away from home, the relationship between the two has not experienced any twists and turns, but has a tendency to become sweeter and sweeter.

The two often hang up the voice, do not disturb each other, just know that the other party is with them.

Even if Lan Xingyue's mobile phone is not by her side, Xi Heng has gradually gotten used to drawing while listening to the noise coming from her end.

Sometimes, despite the jet lag, she could still hear Lan Xingyue whispering in her sleep; Lan Xingyue would also say "good morning" to her on time when she just woke up.

Occasionally, Xi Heng would feel a little irritable and uneasy because Lan Xingyue failed to reply to her message in time, even if she knew in her heart that the other party didn't mean it, it was all due to the busy work and long time difference.

However, Lan Xingyue would take her free time to make videos for her every day, seeing the pale and thin face on the screen, Xi Heng would instantly calm down.

Hearing her coaxing herself with a soft and hoarse voice again, Xi Heng felt that he was overwhelmed by infinite distress and couldn't say anything.

Realizing that he was unconsciously thinking of Lan Xingyue again, Xi Heng sighed at the untouched blank canvas.

No wonder when I was in school, the teachers all told me to ban puppy love.

Sure enough, it affects the efficiency of doing things.

Taking a look at the phone, the screen shows 17:42.

Feeling the emptiness in her stomach, she simply stood up, put on her coat, and planned to have a meal first.

The sky is big and the earth is big, filling the stomach is the biggest.

Walking downstairs, the sky was already half dark, and the autumn wind blew across Xi Heng's face, making her tremble uncontrollably.

When we arrived at the entrance of the community, every restaurant had dazzling lights, noisy people, and crowded shops.

Xi Heng hesitated for a moment, remembering the convenience store eating and broadcasting that he was addicted to recently, and decided to walk a little longer to find food at the convenience store at the intersection in front of him.

"welcome--"

She pushed open the door, and a mechanical electronic female voice sounded professionally, and a warm smell of food came over her face.

Recalling the blogger's recommendation, Xi Heng went straight to the innermost freezer, took a tuna rice ball and a bag of yogurt, squatted down and meditated on the chicken chop rice for two seconds, and then stood up.

She wandered around the store twice more, and finally walked in front of Kanto.

There are two girls who are ordering, looking young, maybe students nearby, chatting on twitter.

Xi Heng lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, and turned to his Weibo homepage, ready to see fans' comments on the recently updated works.

"...Hey, let me tell you, I found a treasure painter a few days ago!"

The voice of a girl in front reached Xi Heng's ears, she didn't take it seriously, and continued scrolling through the comment section, unexpectedly finding that there were more positive comments than she had imagined

"Who is who?"

"Let's see, her name is really cute--Wu Sidixi."

The girl was still praising "Wu Sidixi" endlessly, but the painter who was caught off guard had silently turned off the phone screen and took a step back.

Recalling the "treasure painter" that the girl just said... Although no one recognized her, she still wanted to escape in embarrassment.

"but--"

Xi Heng stopped turning around, she was really curious what turning point this girl who praised her so much would tell.

"—I don't know why, she always likes to draw some works with excessive sugar, such as the latest serialized work

"Exceeding the sugar limit? She couldn't be in a relationship." The girl next to her laughed.

Xi Heng felt hot on his face.

"Huh? But her works are the mistakes of two girls like us."

"Oh, girls can also fall in love..."

Xi Heng turned around and was about to run away, but the two girls in front just finished ordering, and she was stopped by the enthusiastic clerk: "Miss, do you need anything?"

Helpless, she had no choice but to walk over, buried her face in the collar of her coat, and whispered: "This carrot, and this, this..."

The works mentioned by these two girls are the product of her recent whim.

The protagonists are two girls who are very close friends and neighbors, so they grew up together and went to school together.

The original intention is to describe a story about growing up.

But it may be affected by her own mood, or it may be because of the accumulation of strong emotions, every stroke of her brush is always unconsciously sweet,

The latest content of Xi Heng's update is about the two protagonists in the novel, playing around at home pretending to be princesses.

The inspiration came from a chat where she joked with Lan Xingyue that she wanted to draw Cinderella and Snow White together.

Lan Xingyue is Snow White, and Xi Heng is Cinderella.

The princess helped Cinderella solve her troubles and lent her a beautiful dress so that she could go to the long-awaited ball as she wished instead of waiting for the pumpkin cart.

Cinderella finds the dwarf's house and escapes from the forest with Snow White, avoiding the evil queen's apple.

In their stories, there is no need for the appearance of the prince, the princesses can understand each other and help each other.

After Xi Heng finished talking about his thoughts, he smiled and said that he wondered if the Brothers Grimm would jump up angrily.

Lan Xingyue had just finished filming the film, leaning on the bedside and smiling at her tenderly, as if no matter how wild Xi Heng's ideas were, she could get support from her.

Wed

There is a row of window seats in the convenience store, Xi Heng sat down with his things, looked at the various passers-by outside the window, absent-mindedly

Eating oden.

A couple walked past arm in arm, chatting intimately.

Xi Heng sighed again.

The food in my mouth suddenly lost its taste.

She had to admit that she missed Lan Xingyue a little bit, and the two had just had a phone call the next day.

The negative impact of the long distance may be that the missing of her cannot be turned into a real touch, and all perceptions can only stay

in voice or expression.

Don't hold hands when you want to hold hands, don't hug when you want to hug, don't kiss when you want to kiss.

Taking a bite of the rice ball, Xi Heng comforted herself: Even if Lan Xingyue is in Jiangcheng, due to her special status, the two of them can't be together unscrupulously, just treat it as getting used to underground love in advance.

Underground romance.

Thinking of this word, Xi Heng couldn't help feeling a little funny.

I used to eat so many love melons in the entertainment industry, but I never thought that one day I would become the protagonist among them.

But for this matter, she didn't have too many other ideas.

As if a tacit understanding without words, the topic was never discussed between the two.

Xi Heng didn't take the initiative to ask. In her opinion, Lan Xingyue's acting career is on the rise, and there is no need to be affected by her relationship.

If being with herself will cause her career to plummet, Xi Heng may be the first person to stand up and clarify.

Perhaps because of her personality, she was lazy about many things, but Huahua and Lan Xingyue absolutely couldn't make any mistakes.

The phone buzzed and vibrated twice, and Xi Heng pressed the lock screen.

Lan Xingyue: Today is another day I miss Xiaoxi

Lan Xingyue: I bought you a gift, the courier should arrive

Just after reading the news, Xi Heng received a text message from the courier station, and she couldn't help asking: "What is it?"

Lan Xingyue: You'll know when you take it apart

Curiosity was aroused in a few words, Xi Heng swallowed the rice ball whole and left the convenience store impatiently.

Anxious, the 10-minute journey was abruptly cut in half by her.

Facing the pick-up code on the text message, Xi Heng opened the door of the cabinet. It was an ordinary express box, which was tightly wrapped and still heavy to hold in his arms.

There is a symbol for fragile items on the box, which says "Precious items, please handle with care".

She carefully walked home with the courier in her hands, full of anticipation for the gift, with joy in her steps.

What will Lan Xingyue's gift be?

The author has something to say:

What is it, I'm really curious 0v0
