agree to be each other's stand-in

As if all the strength in his body was suddenly pulled away, Xie Nanyuan leaned against the wall for a while, and then slowly walked out of the building.

Surrounded by endless crowds, Xie Nanyuan seemed to be isolated in another world, unable to blend in with them. The heating in the mall was sufficient, but she only felt cold hands and feet, and chills all over her body.When she walked out of the shopping mall and was blown by the bitter cold wind outside, she felt the chill penetrate her heart even more.

She slowly descended the stairs, and only then did a belated dull pain spread from her heart to her limbs.

His body seemed to be in convulsions because of the pain, he couldn't breathe, let alone exert any strength.Xie Nanyuan walked a few steps, had to stop, and sat down on the flower bed in the square.

Winter in the north comes very late. Although the New Year is over, the weather is still very cold.Even so, the square was still very lively. Businessmen set up various booths to hold promotional activities. Sweet love songs were played at each booth. Young couples walked arm in arm between the booths. It was very hot.

Xie Nanyuan should have been one of them.

But at this moment, all these warmth and sweetness turned into a knife piercing her heart.Xie Nanyuan had no choice but to bury his face in his arms, as if he could avoid everything in front of him.

Just as she was immersed in her emotions, someone suddenly touched her forearm lightly.

An energetic voice sounded above her head, asking with concern, "Hi, do you need help?"

Xie Nanyuan was taken aback, buried his face deeper in embarrassment, and shook his head carelessly, hoping to send him away.This is the moment when she least wants to be noticed, and she just wants to digest these emotions quietly by herself.

The sound just disappeared.

In modern society, the sense of distance between people is becoming clearer and clearer, and most people will not be interested in asking strangers.Who doesn't have any ups and downs in their life?It is also a kind of thoughtfulness to leave space for self-organization. It is already rare to ask a question.

Xie Nanyuan sighed softly, and his thoughts became a little clearer.

A bit of cold wetness suddenly fell on the back of his hand.

From the side, the young couple whispered in surprise and joy, "Ah, it's snowing!"

It turned out to be snowing.The couple in love were excited by this, but Xie Nanyuan only felt a thorough chill in his heart.However, before she could fall into this emotion, someone lightly touched the same place on her arm again.

This time it is hot.

The heat penetrated through the thick fabric of the clothes and clinged to the skin, Xie Nanyuan couldn't help curling his fingers.

The voice above his head sounded again, still full of energy, "It's too cold, I bought you a cup of hot milk tea, take it to warm it up. Drink something sweet and you'll feel better."

She was nostalgic for that little warmth, and was grateful for such enthusiasm, but she didn't want others to see her embarrassment at the moment.While hesitating, the other party seemed to have seen through her mind, put the hot milk tea in her hand on the empty stone platform next to her, gave another order, then turned and left.

Xie Nanyuan raised his head hesitantly, but only saw a tall figure running away in a blue and red sportswear, and the high ponytail on his head was swinging left and right following her steps.

She stretched out her hand to hold the cup of hot milk tea. For some reason, the tip of her nose became sour, and her eyes suddenly blurred.

Those emotions that were surging in her heart but were suppressed by herself suddenly erupted because of this stranger's kindness.

With tears in his eyes, that distant figure suddenly overlapped with another figure in Xie Nanyuan's memory.

At that time, Xie Nanyuan had just entered junior high school. She was short, dark and thin, introverted and silent, so she naturally became the target of bad students in the school.For a long time, she felt that she was living in a suffocating environment, and she didn't know how to get rid of it, and often thought of death.Later, the same figure descended from the sky, not only beating off those who bullied her, but also reporting these bad students, completely changing her situation.

Then Xie Nanyuan became her little tail.

Only a few months later, the opponent was selected into the school team because of his outstanding athletic talent, and soon transferred to a sports school.

Xie Nanyuan remembered that on the day before she left, the girl who was half a head taller than her touched her head and sighed, telling her that she could not rely on others forever, and had to become stronger herself.

That day, Xie Nanyuan hid alone on campus and cried until dark.After wiping away her tears, she began to learn how the other party dealt with all the problems she encountered.Over time, she thought she had really become stronger.But now Xie Nanyuan discovered that there was no such thing.

Powerful is just a face she puts on to pretend, but in fact she is still vulnerable inside.

But now, no one will protect her. —— Rather, these injuries originally came from the person she thought could protect herself.

But this time she held back and didn't cry.

Tears are precious things, shed for those who deserve them.

……

"Sorry, it's a bit late." Xie Nanyuan pulled out the chair, sat down opposite Lu Kaiyan, and apologized.

Lu Kaiyan smiled and said, "It's okay, your work is important. And you are not late, the time is just right." She said, looked at Xie Nanyuan, and then praised, "Your dress is beautiful."

The smile on Xie Nanyuan's face faded.

Coincidentally, the coat on Jiang Siyue's body today looks very similar to this one.

Lu Kaiyan just lowered her head to get the gift, and didn't notice her expression.She took the gift box out of the bag, pushed it in front of Xie Nanyuan, and urged with a smile, "Open it and have a look, do you like it?"

Xie Nanyuan glanced at her, then lowered his head to open the beautiful pink gift box.

A bottle of perfume with a beautiful shape and a dreamy color lay quietly in the box. Xie Nanyuan looked down for a long time before the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, like joy or mockery.

We have known each other for three years and we have been in love for two years. She has always smelled of disinfectant. When has she ever used perfume?

That's right, Lu Kaiyan has always complained about the smell of disinfectant on her body, because it has neither femininity nor life breath, and it is easy to spoil the mood at certain special moments.

It's just that in the past, she heard these words like a breeze, and she didn't take them to heart.She feels that when two people live together, there is always something that needs to be adjusted and adapted, so don't worry too much about it, how can she imagine that people might just think that she is not like another person?

Xie Nanyuan looked at the slightly shaking perfume in the bottle, and suddenly remembered the day when Lu Kaiyan confessed his love to her.

It was also in this restaurant, and on such a day, after the waiter delivered the meal, he sent a small bouquet of roses to the table, saying it was a gift for Valentine's Day.Hearing this, Lu Kaiyan took out one and handed it to her, and asked with a smile, "Look, even the shop owner thinks we are a couple, why don't we just make do?"

At that moment, Xie Nanyuan was confused by the atmosphere, thinking it was a simple romance.

I only found out today that it was really just... make do.

She took a deep breath, finally raised her eyes, and looked directly at Lu Kaiyan.

As an Internet celebrity anchor, Lu Kaiyan's appearance is naturally very outstanding. Her skin is very fair, her eyes are beautiful and energetic, and the corners of her eyes and lips are naturally slightly raised up. Even when her face is expressionless, she looks like It's a smile, and it's easy to make people feel good.As for her personality, she is carefree and informal, making people feel that she has no scheming at all.

It was just such a person, she acted so naturally and flawlessly, she lied to herself for two full years.

If it weren't for today's accident, maybe he would continue to lie.

Xie Nanyuan usually watched Lu Kaiyan play an innocent and sweet girl in front of fans, and never felt that there was any problem. Only then did she suddenly realize how superb her acting skills are.

Three million fans really didn't come in vain.

She slowly closed the gift box again, using this movement to sort out her emotions.After tidying up, Xie Nanyuan pushed the box aside, and when he looked up again, the smile was on his face again, and he turned to pick up the gift he had prepared.

"I like it very much." She smiled at Lu Kaiyan, and passed the paper bag in her hand, "This is a gift from me."

Lu Kaiyan took it excitedly, opened the box, and couldn't help being taken aback, "Why are they shoes?"

"Don't you like it?" Xie Nanyuan looked into her eyes and smiled, "It took me a long time to choose this one."

It's a lie, I bought it at the specialty store at the entrance of the mall just now.When Lu Kaiyan and Jiang Siyue walked out of the shopping mall arm in arm, Xie Nanyuan casually pointed at the pair of shoes in the shop separated by a glass door, and asked the waiter to pack them. From selection to checkout, it didn't take five minutes in total.

Of course she knew that Lu Kaiyan had been living in a house all year round, and his daily WeChat steps did not exceed [-], but because of this, this gift and her perfume can be regarded as "evenly matched", isn't it?

Since Lu Kaiyan wanted to regard her as Jiang Siyue's shadow, she couldn't be blamed for looking for traces of another person on him.

If there is a white moonlight shining outside your window, of course a cinnabar mole can be dotted on my heart.

Is that fair?
