Years are warm

Chapter 54

After saying this, Xie Zhiyao kept this distance, watched her silently and didn't speak, she didn't ask if you like me too, because there is no need to ask.

She could see the sudden surge in the eyes of the other party after she said that she liked it.

It might have been tens of seconds, or it might have been a few minutes before she saw Xu Huaian smiling.

"You asked me first, and then you spoke first, what's the point?"

Xie Zhiyao rubbed the tip of her nose with a smile, hummed twice and said, "Who told a certain kid to look forward and backward? It's not my fault."

Xu Huai'an's eyes deepened into a smile. The two of them held hands together. She backed away a little and said softly, "Then... what a coincidence, we were indeed thinking about the same question. As for my answer..."

She glanced at Xie Zhiyao's face quickly, and continued to whisper with a little warmth, "It's the same as you."

Xie Zhiyao blinked, and deliberately asked: "What is the same thing? Make it clear."

"I..." Xu Huai'an turned around and looked at her helplessly, "Just like you, I'm not a friend's favorite. So..."

"so?"

Xu Huai'an took a deep breath, raised his hand and scratched the bridge of her nose, with a firm and serious tone.

"So... let's stay together."

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao reached out and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, buried his head in the hollow of her neck and rubbed it randomly twice, "Well... Who said there is no puppy love? There are two people with no principles."

"But... if there is no principle, then there is no principle!"

Although there are usually no people in Xiaoximen, there is no guarantee that no one will pass by, so the two walked around and found a place to sit down.

The sound of the playground can be heard here, and it is also convenient to hear the broadcast back later.The two sat side by side quietly for a while, Xie Zhiyao held her hand, and asked her slowly: "When did you find out?"

The movements of her fingertips were very light, like a kitten scratching a pad twice, which made people's palms itchy.Xu Huai'an moved her fingertips twice, she turned around and held her hand vaguely, looked up at the sky, and spoke softly after a while.

"It's New Year's time."

"The video call?"

"Yeah." Xu Huai'an turned his head and lowered his voice.

She can still remember the scene of that night very clearly.A thin layer of snow in the south hangs on the treetops, the trees are evergreen, and the white snow reflects the green leaves, giving birth to vitality in the winter night.The night of the city is lit up by fireworks, and the noise of the crowd and the sound of the horns of the traffic through the earphones make people frown uncontrollably.Xie Zhiyao stood in the crowd like this, she turned her face to the countdown sound, so the fireworks of the four seasons in New Year's Eve seemed to be reflected in her eyes like this.

Then she turned back, called her little friend with a smile, and said Happy New Year to herself.

At that moment, she seemed to grasp something vaguely. After a long time, she inadvertently remembered that time, and suddenly realized...

She really likes this man.

Xie Zhiyao blinked twice, and gently pinched her fingertips.

"and then?"

They have been friends for so many years, and it is not possible to turn the friendship in the past concept into love overnight.

Xu Huai'an lowered his eyes, suddenly smiled, and said, "Think about it later."

"after?"

She smiled, and her voice became softer: "Ayao, I have thought about many kinds of futures. Many of them are related to you, as if it is a matter of course. So at that time, I tried to think about it, if I saw What it's like to see a future that's no longer between us."

"I'm imagining that someone else might come along and he'll be what you think he is, be nice to you, be nice to everyone, be good enough to be a good match for you. You'll slowly come together with him , fall in love, or get married in the future, but at that time, maybe the only thing I can do is to play the role of a so-called "friend" by the side, watching you, bless you, and hope you live happily. I'm thinking about these things over and over, and I'm asking myself over and over again, do I really want to see this."

The answer must be no, otherwise she would not confess at this time.

Xie Zhiyao heard her narrate these words in a very gentle tone, and felt his eyes a little sour for no reason.

She guessed that Xu Huai'an should have thought of many things, but she didn't expect her to think in this direction.

Xu Huaian raised his hand and tapped Xie Zhiyao's forehead, signaling her to continue listening.

"I know about Xiang Yuzhou and the others, so every time I think of it at the beginning, I'm actually a little scared. I'm afraid that I will think like this, what do you think of you? This road is so hard, and there may be so much malice. , it seems that you should not face it. I think, you should be like the first time we met when we were young, like a little sun, your whole life should be open and bright." She softened her brows and eyes, slowly Slowly put down his hand, "But... I thought about it many times, but I found from the beginning to the end that I have always kept a little selfishness."

"I... really like you."

Xie Zhiyao stared at her in a daze for a while, she composed a lot of sentences in her mind, but at the end she also sighed and stretched out her hand to rub her face, "Are you stupid?"

This way of thinking about the problem is a bit masochistic.

Xu Huai'an stared into her eyes with lowered eyes, and said with a slight smile, "But it's very effective. I've said enough, then... Ah Yao, what about you?"

Xie Zhiyao tilted his head, blinked his eyes playfully, and said with a drawn out tone, "Guess?"

"In Gyeongbuk?" From the time she said that sentence, she had the same question to think about.

Xie Zhiyao leaned back on the chair, slowly shook his head and denied, "No."

"What I have to say is the day I went to the playground." She lowered her head, groped the girl's well-knit palm bones, and said slowly, "It's really hard for me to find a time. During the summer vacation , Mu Bai and I went out once, and she said... among friends, there is absolutely no way of thinking like that."

that look?A hint of doubt flashed across Xu Huai'an's eyes, but soon, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the girl's ears that started to turn red at some point. She was stunned for a moment, and then blushed after realizing it.

Got it... got it.

"The kiss at that time was actually what I wanted, subconsciously, and those words behind were all excuses, but I really didn't expect you to..." She paused, her face couldn't stop getting hot, " At that time, I realized that there might be something different, so I asked you. And then...you were called by my mother to accompany me that day. "

Just as I know Xu Huai'an well and can clearly see the emotional ups and downs hidden in the other person's eyes, so does Xu Huai'an.

It's been so long, she actually can't remember exactly how she got through the long shadow of the thunderstorm at that time, but she still remembers that hug in the sound of thunder.

The girl she is so familiar with, the girl who is always by her side, the girl who is always watching her...

Everyone will encounter the dark night. When she was young, she gave Xu Huaian a ray of light. On that rainy day many years later, the girl who cowered in the darkness gave her a round of moonlight.

It was probably at that time that they realized each other clearly that perhaps it was never the so-called redemption between them, but the companions who lit up the world along the way.

As long as we are together, no one will feel that a certain section of the road is so difficult.

Xie Zhiyao took a deep breath, and she clenched her hands little by little, as if holding an indispensable part of her life.

"Huai'an, you said that you want to understand because you are forcing yourself to think about a future where we might not be together, but when I was waiting for your exam in Gyeongbuk, I looked at Sinan Lake and listened to the footsteps of other people on the road. I really want to see what the future of the two of us will look like together." She smiled, her eyes sparkling, "No matter where it is, I'm sure, the future I want to see is with you. It was also at that time... What I can be sure of is that those emotions that I have ignored have never been illusions."

She spent nearly three months, recalling the past bit by bit, thinking about the future in the direction she wanted, and finally found that the feelings that slowly grew up in the tiny things were actually long ago unknown. Time to take root.

Xu Huaian said that she had selfish intentions, but Xie Zhiyao knew it, so why didn't she have it?

Being selfish is never a bad thing.

The two of them wanted to say something more when they heard a sound coming from the playground.

It was the radio calling the athletes who just won the ranking to go to the rostrum to receive the award.

Xu Huaian patted the hem of his clothes, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back." Counting the time, it's almost time for the student union to recruit people.

However, Xie Zhiyao just stood up, but did not move.

"I've won awards for three years in a row, don't you give me some rewards?" She winked at her slyly, with a hint of coquettishness.

Xu Huai'an was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously answered, "What do you want?"

Xie Zhiyao bent his eyes, pretended to poke her face helplessly, and complained: "Huai Xiaoan, why do I think you are a bit stupid today?"

There was a trace of doubt in Xu Huai'an's eyes, she pursed her lower lip, and was about to turn around and say something, but suddenly the person beside her grabbed her sleeve.

She didn't stand still, and was led by inertia to take a half step back. Almost at the same time, the warm touch gently tapped the corner of her lips.

The girl who succeeded in the sneak attack took advantage of the person not reacting, jumped to the front in two or three steps, turned around and smiled happily with her hands behind her back.

"If you don't give it, then I will ask for it myself?"

Xu Huaian raised his hand, lightly touched the corner of his mouth that was kissed just now with his fingertips, and suddenly smiled.

Xie Zhiyao raised his eyebrows, watching her raise her hand to grab her wrist, and took two steps up.

The sunlight stretched the shadows of the two of them very long.

The girl leaned forward, raised her head slightly, and kissed the eyes of the person in front of her almost reverently.

"Then... it's not too late to give it to you now."
