12 month.

There is still almost half a month before Christmas, but the mall has already been decorated with a festive atmosphere.

The holiday limited edition billboards were replaced early, a Christmas tree with beautiful lights was installed at the intersection, a giant doll was placed in the lobby downstairs, gift boxes were piled up at the feet, and even the hanging chandelier was tied on the red ribbon.

Tao Shuran had no time to appreciate the exquisite and beautiful scenes in the mall.

She walked in hastily, and was going to the Global Product Outlet Center to buy some food for the cat.

She took the kitten to the pet hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said that it was about three or four months old, because it had been hungry for too long, and its digestive system was more fragile than normal cats.

Picking the right cat food can be very difficult.

Yesterday, the kitten vomited again not long after eating.

Tao Shuran quietly went to get a mop to mop the floor, and she was thankful that she vomited on the floor, otherwise her mother's face would have been even uglier.

It happened that mom and dad worked overtime at night, so she planned to skip dinner today, and hurry up to pick up some other cat food, and try it for the kitten.

Usually, Jiang Hanqi would send her home before dinner, and then send her to the chemistry competition classroom of the attached middle school after she finished dinner.

Just arrived downstairs today, Tao Shuran tugged on the strap of her schoolbag and said, "Jiang Hanqi, after dinner my parents said they would drop me off, so you don't have to."

When she spoke, her eyes kept rolling down, showing no expression.

Jiang Hanqi looked at her quietly for two seconds, nodded and said, "Okay."

For some reason, since she came back from the capital this time, the relationship between her and Ran Ran seems to have changed a bit.

Although we still eat together at ordinary times, occasionally she can come to pick her up from school.

However, Ran Ran gradually became quiet and reticent. Unless there was something very necessary, when she was with her, she always kept quiet and her eyes were lowered, just like now.

Jiang Hanqi hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

"Ran Ran, see you tomorrow." As if she hadn't noticed anything, she slightly raised the corners of her lips.

Tao Shuran nodded hesitantly, forced herself not to look at the other party, turned around, went home, picked up her mobile phone, and rushed to the mall.

In the center of the store, there is a special area for artificial snow scenes. The entire shelf on the left is full of imported food for cats and dogs, and there seems to be an ingredient area behind.

Tao Shuran didn't really understand these things.

She took out her mobile phone and clicked on the memo. There were homework done yesterday, and she searched for them one by one according to the recommendations of netizens.

There are so many kinds on the shelves, and when she looked for them, she felt dazzled, and her thoughts drifted away.

She didn't wake up naturally from the dream that day.

Mother Tao came in to bring her fruit, and woke her up by scolding her.

One second he was still being tender with his lover, and being intimate with his pet, and the next second he was back in the damp, cold and dark room.

She laughed at herself, and suddenly felt that she had had enough of such vain happiness.

Tao Shuran immediately turned on the phone, imagining what to see.

But there was nothing, Jiang Hanqi didn't call her back, maybe she didn't even know that she called her.

She looked at the little cat lying on the bed who was also woken up, sighed softly, leaned over and stroked its little head for a while: "Fortunately, you are with me."

As soon as Jiang Hanqi left the camp, he sent Tao Shuran a message.

That day was Saturday, Tao Shuran was still in class when she received the news, and she saw the news an hour late.

She put away her schoolbag in the room, and stood in front of the desk in a daze, hesitating whether to reply or not, when her parents called her to eat, she simply ignored it.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the evening, when she finished the foreign teacher class, that she slowly replied, "Okay."

Jiang Hanqi's message came back very quickly, and he directly asked her if it was convenient for her to answer the phone.

Tao Shuran looked hesitantly at the cat napping by the bed, and called it directly.

"Ran Ran, I'm already home." Jiang Hanqi's voice didn't change at all, and his clear voice always turned into a spring spring when talking to her, gentle and sweet.

Tao Shuran's eyes trembled slightly, and she felt unspeakable bitterness in her heart. She briefly explained that she had just finished class, and Jiang Hanqi was not annoyed that she hadn't replied to her messages for several hours, but just sighed: "Well, I know , Ran Ran worked too hard."

Pamper as always.

But she didn't want to drown in it any more.

That phone call was the same as their relationship for the next half month, silent and indifferent, Tao Shuran went back and forth "um" a few times, Jiang Hanqi understood that she didn't want to talk, and found an excuse to say good night to her.

Thinking of these things again, Tao Shuran still felt a little pain in the eyes.

She felt that she was not being angry, but just saw clearly——

Seeing my identity clearly, I don't let myself continue to be trapped in it.

Jiang Hanqi didn't owe her anything, she didn't blame her, and she shouldn't expect anything from her.

She was indeed wronged, unspeakably wronged, but this grievance was essentially her own business, and had nothing to do with Jiang Hanqi.

She used to go to and from school by herself, eat by herself, and study by herself, isn't it all right?

Tao Shuran settled down, and she began to gradually desensitize herself.

The effect is not bad, but my heart is a little empty, but it is also a normal phenomenon.

After Tao Shuran picked out the things, she straightened up and exhaled, ignoring the soreness in her eyes, and was about to check out while pushing the cart.

The beautiful snow scene next to it had almost fallen, the ground was completely covered in silver, and there were large hexagonal snowflakes falling from the sky. The fairytale-like dreamy scene made her take a second look.

At the first glance, he admired the snow that Shen Cheng couldn't see, and at the second glance, he met a pair of clear eyes.

As Christmas was approaching, Jiang Hanqi wanted to prepare something for Tao Shuran. After searching for a long time, he finally chose the most clichéd but safest way - making chocolate.

I came to the mall today to pick up some ingredients.

She pushed the cart and picked it from the back, and inadvertently saw a familiar figure standing on the shelf not far away.

Although her first reaction was to go up to say hello, considering the girl's recent attitude and what she said when they parted ways downstairs at her house today, Jiang Hanqi hesitated and wanted to walk away.

Unbiased, the other party got up and looked over like this.

For a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Jiang Hanqi thought for a second, then stepped forward to say hello: "Ran Ran, are you finished shopping?"

Tao Shuran nodded, pulled out a smile, a little guilty.

After paying the bill, Jiang Hanqi helped her carry the bag habitually. Tao Shuran felt that there was no place to put her hands free, so she had to put her back behind her back, looking at the road with her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Does Ran Ran want to buy it to feed stray cats?" It was Jiang Hanqi who broke the silence again, her tone was soft, as if she didn't care that she kept it from her.

Tao Shuran bit her lip lightly, and made up her mind: "No, I raised a cat."

She looked forward to Jiang Hanqi's continued questioning, why she didn't tell her the news earlier, and whether she was still a friend.

In this way, she can say what she wants to say in a fair manner.

She can say, "Why should I tell you?"

She can say: "Yes, we are not friends!"

Then, they broke up logically, and went back to a year ago, and each was well.

Jiang Hanqi was not surprised, no wonder Ran Ran always rushed home after school some time ago.

Originally, I always thought that Mother Tao was a very strict person, and I was afraid that Ranran would not be able to tell herself in time if she was sad at home. Now that she has a kitten, she will feel better.

Thinking like this, she nodded clearly, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she didn't speak again.

After being sent downstairs, Tao Shuran suddenly turned around, stretched out her hand, and smiled slightly: "Okay, let's go here."

This is what she mustered up her courage to say.

Jiang Hanqi didn't seem to understand, she still smiled: "Ran Ran, this is quite heavy, let me carry it upstairs for you."

Tao Shuran's outstretched hand did not move.

She looked at Jiang Hanqi quietly, and suddenly recalled when she was just in the first year of high school.

Jiang Hanqi was very beautiful, with long black hair scattered on his shoulders, when he lowered his head, occasionally a strand would hang down and lightly sweep his face.

She never smiled at that time, just like her name, her whole body seemed to be covered with snow, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes were as cold as frost.

Unlike now, being turned into mountains and rivers in the mist by warm friendship.

One last, last look.

Tao Shuran kept admonishing herself in her heart.

She raised her head slightly, looked at the other person with eyes almost greedy that she couldn't even notice, and wanted to remember this moment in her heart forever.

"Don't you understand?" Tao Shuran heard herself say.

Jiang Hanqi's face lost all color in an instant.

She probably understands.

Jiang Hanqi is not a particularly dull person, on the contrary, worrying about gains and losses is her normal state.

During this period of time, she could easily feel the alienation of the other party, but she just tried not to point it out—she didn't want to be abandoned again, at least not so bluntly.

"No..." She wanted to say something, but was quickly interrupted by the other party.

"But, I said, that's it." Tao Shuran shook her head lightly.

"Jiang Hanqi, I don't think we are suitable to be friends." She tried to smile.

"Look, you are so good, you are good in everything, but you still want to drag me to improve. In fact, you always feel that I am dragging you down. Well, if you can't say it, I will say it for you." She seemed to have said something interesting, and even revealed the pear dimple that hadn't surfaced for a long time.

Jiang Hanqi's smile froze.

Her brain, which has always been extremely fast, seemed to stop functioning suddenly at this time, and even her heart seemed to stop beating, and the blood all over her body froze in an instant.

"Ran Ran, no..."

"Isn't it? It's okay, let's talk about it." Tao Shuran interrupted her, and continued, "But I'm tired."

"For so many years, you have been supported by countless people, isn't it enough? Why do you have to add an embarrassing me?"

"You don't know how stressful it is to be friends with someone who is better than you in everything."

"Me, I've had enough."

She smiled sweetly, but her words pierced her heart like a sharp knife.

Jiang Hanqi didn't know that his face was pale at the moment, his hands were hanging by his sides, trembling slightly, his originally straight back was slightly collapsed, just like her flustered and pleading words: "Ran Ran, I'm sorry, really I'm sorry, I didn't do a good job in the past, I will change it in the future, I will change it, please..."

Tao Shuran closed her eyes, calmed down, took her bag from her hand, and stopped looking into her eyes.

"Jiang Hanqi," Tao Shuran held her breath when she was the closest, unwilling to smell her good smell, and said in a low voice, "It's not your fault that you are outstanding, it's your inherent attribute, you Can it be changed?"

"You're fine, it's my problem, I'm not good enough for you."

The last sentence was the easiest to say, and Tao Shuran finally uttered what had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

She turned around, took a deep breath, and went upstairs.

As soon as the door was opened, Mom and Dad still didn't come back. They told her to order takeaway for dinner yesterday.

That's good, this way, even if she doesn't eat dinner, they won't know.

Tao Shuran unpacked new food for the cat, took out a little bit, mixed it with the cat milk cake and goat milk that he had been eating before, and watched it eat it.

After waiting for a while, it seemed that nothing happened for the time being.

She breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the floor with her back against the cold wall.

That's great, finally one thing is solved.

However, the tears that have been shed for half a month are still not dry. Tao Shuran raised his hand to cover it, but he couldn't cover it no matter what.

Are women really made of water?

She laughed and cursed, and finally couldn't hold on any longer, lying on her lap, sobbing and crying.
