Lin Ran didn't expect that although Song Zhengze had a foreigner's face, he was a genuine China hand. The place they ate tonight was in an antique B&B. The food they ate was exquisite and delicious, which was very distinctive. Jiangnan private kitchen.

While eating and chatting, Lin Ran learned that Song Zhengze was three years older than him, and that he had been very interested in Chinese culture since he was a child, so he fought against all opinions in his family, and finally got his wish and came to his favorite country to study his favorite major.

Although the other party didn't deliberately mention his family and background, Lin Ran still felt a sense of superiority in his speech and demeanor that was hard not to be noticed.

Lin Ran thinks that people like him probably received too much attention and love since childhood, so no matter what they say or do, they always have a natural cheerfulness and confidence, because Lin Ran was also such a person in the past.

When Song Zhengze was happily talking about the famous lines in "The Book of Songs", seeing the light shining in his eyes, Lin Ran suddenly felt that he and Li Meijin should have something in common to talk about.

Song Zhengze took a sip of the red wine and said, "Your name probably comes from that famous poem, "Looking at the mountains are red all over, and the forests are all dyed - this sentence is very imposing and beautiful, I like it very much."

Lin Ran: "Thank you, this name was given by my grandfather."

Song Zhengze smiled again and said, "The way you looked at the book in the bookstore that day was really special. There was no expression on your face, which was clearly focused on reading, but it looked inexplicably sad."

"..." Lin Ran looked up at him, but didn't know how to respond, so he took a sip of the water in the glass.

After dinner, Song Zhengze suggested that they take a tour of this quaint homestay. This is actually a typical northern courtyard house. Because of the festival, red lanterns were hung in the courtyard, which looked very festive.

When Lin Ran was carefully watching the original owner's calligraphy hanging on the wall of the hall, suddenly a small figure quickly ran out from the next room.

The little fat orange cat was hiding behind the door and looked at him curiously with timid eyes. Lin Ran thought it was so cute, so she took out her mobile phone to take a picture of the cat, but I don’t know if it was because she accidentally turned on the flash Because of the relationship, the kitten was scared away.

Lin Ran found that the photo taken secretly was very unsuccessful, because the kitten was moving very fast, so the photo was blurred. When he was about to delete this photo, Lin Ran suddenly realized in a second, and he anxiously took the picture again. Zoom in on this photo for a closer look.

Lin Ran didn't know if he was in a daze. He actually felt that this kitten looked like Lin Keke, the cat he once had.Although China is so big, there are more than tens of thousands of orange cats that look like it, but Lin Ran thinks that the tiger stripes on the head of this cat and the features of the four white gloves are very similar to Lin Keke.

Song Zhengze didn't quite understand why Lin Ran showed such a strong interest in a cat. He looked at his watch and found that it was still early, so he suggested, "Why don't we go to a movie now."

Lin Ran motioned him not to speak, and he quickly walked into the room where the little orange cat disappeared, searched the room, and found the kitten curled up under the table, hiding in a ball, Lin Ran tried to shout: "Coco, Lin Keke!"

The little orange cat was startled, stopped licking its fur, and stared at him for a while with suspicious eyes.

When the eyes of one person and one cat were facing each other, the voice of Song Zhengze who followed came: "Lin Ran, don't run around." The little cat immediately ran out.

Lin Ran continued to follow the cat's footsteps, but he really couldn't keep up.He looked around and found that through this long corridor was the back kitchen of this private kitchen, and there was a sign reminding "Idlers do not enter" hanging in front of the door.

Lin Ran was about to leave, but the voice from behind the curtain made Lin Ran unable to walk for a moment, and her pupils vibrated.

He heard a young boy say in a begging tone: "Xiao Lu, can you help me with the night shift today, I have a date tonight, if I don't spend the holiday with my girlfriend, she will break up with me .I'll take your day shift tomorrow, okay?"

Then a person replied: "Okay." Although this person only uttered one good word, Lin Ran was so familiar with this voice that he was sure that he would never mistake anyone.

The scene of thousands of encounters in the dream appeared so abruptly, Lin Ran stood at the same place and his chest heaved non-stop, he didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a moment, and his brain seemed to refuse to work because he couldn't process this too important and exciting information.

When Lin Ran was in a state of confusion and hadn't decided what to say and how to face all this, the person who hadn't seen him in four years but appeared in Lin Ran's dreams thousands of times, held a pretend The tray with vegetables suddenly opened the curtain and came out.

The moment he saw Lin Ran, Lu Mingting was completely stunned.The four eyes met for only a moment, but it seemed as long as a century.

At this time, a guest complained that the food was too slow came from not far away. Lu Mingting calmed down his panic, pretended to be calm, took the tray and continued to deliver the food.

After a while, he turned around and came back. He was still at a loss for Shang Linran's persistent eyes with thousands of words, but it was much better than before.

"Are you a chef?" Lin Ran asked, looking at the white clothes he was wearing.He didn't dare to look at his face seriously, but after a quick glance, he could still clearly feel the changes that four years had brought to Lu Mingting.

After all, it has been four years. He seems to be taller than before, his shoulders are wider, and the contours of his face are deeper than in high school, but the only thing that remains the same is his straight spine. There is also a cold aura exuding from the body.

Lu Mingting shook his head: "It's just a helper, I'm not qualified to be a chef."

Lin Ran nodded, and asked again: "Is that cat Coco? You still keep it?"

Lu Mingting softly agreed, "Yeah." He didn't even look him in the eye.

There are too many questions in Lin Ran's mind, such as "How have you been these years?" "Have you gone to college?" "My phone number hasn't changed. Why haven't you contacted me once in these years?" ...

Among the many questions, what he wants to ask most is "Have you thought about me these years?"

But in the current noisy environment, under the staring eyes of Song Zhengze who was standing aside, and more importantly, facing Lu Mingting's indifferent face, he really couldn't ask, Lu Mingting's indifferent and perfunctory face The attitude made Lin Ran feel that there was no need to ask these silly questions.

Although Lu Mingting in my memory has always refused to be alienated thousands of miles away, Lin Ran is the exception, but the current Lu Mingting has made Lin Ran lose the self-confidence of the past.

However, some good memories from the past still encouraged Lin Ran. Thousands of words gathered together and fell into his throat, only becoming the one he wanted to ask the most: "Lu, why didn't you come to the airport back then?"

"Airport?" After a moment of bewilderment and confusion, Lu Mingting seemed to understand something, and he quickly responded: "And why? Your ideas are too naive and unrealistic at all."

"Those ideas of yours are too naive and unrealistic at all." Lin Ran recalled the words without warmth or even irony. Lin Ran instantly regretted that she shouldn't have asked this question. One-sided affectionate stubbornness seems like a joke.

Lin Ran was so angry that he began to tremble, unable to say a word at all.What he felt at the time was like falling into a bottomless ice cave with no clothes on in the Antarctic at minus [-] degrees.And when he thought that it was the person who was on the top of his heart who hurt him, Lin Ran felt that the coldness had penetrated into his bones.

Maybe seeing that Lin Ran's emotions were about to collapse, Song Zhengze, who couldn't bear to watch, grabbed Lin Ran's shoulders and wanted to take him away.

Lu Mingting finally took the initiative to ask the first question of the day: "Is this your boyfriend?"

Lin Ran's tears rolled in his eyes, and he tried his best not to let the tears fall. In order to maintain the last bit of self-esteem, he glanced at him with tearful eyes, bit his lips stubbornly and nodded.

There was a flash of disappointment on Lu Mingting's face, but he quickly recovered his iceberg indifference, and he briefly commented: "It's pretty good." After speaking, he turned around and disappeared from Lin Ran's sight.

In the car back to school, although there was heating, Song Zhengze found that Lin Ran's hands were extremely cold.

Song Zhengze asked the driver to increase the temperature of the air conditioner, and said with some distress: "Your ex-boyfriend is not very good. But don't worry, I won't treat you like this in the future."

Although the other party gave Lin Ran a warm hug that made him feel temporarily warm, but for some reason, Lin Ran seemed to have temporarily lost the ability to love someone again.

Because today he deeply realized that to love someone is to give him the right to hurt himself.

Lin Ran cried and said to him intermittently: "I don't really want to fall in love for the time being...Maybe he will be fine after a while, but I'm not sure how long it will be...So, you can also give up on me earlier."

After Lin Ran returned to the dormitory, she lay on the bed for a whole day, and didn't eat the food brought to him by her kind roommate.But the next day was the final exam. Lin Ran didn't want to have to make up the exam in her junior year, so she forced herself to take the exam in a daze.

Later, the classmates in the dormitory found that Lin Ran's words had become less recently. Although he hadn't talked much since he entered school, he was not so taciturn.

On the day after the last exam, all the roommates packed their bags and left the dormitory immediately.Because Lin Ran was named by a teacher to participate in a project, she stayed behind under the envious eyes of her classmates and became the last student on the entire floor to go home for the New Year.

Everyone knows what it means to be valued by this teacher, because this teacher is a master in their major, and usually does not take undergraduate courses, and the students he likes may directly study for a master's degree.And participating in the project not only brings a lot of income, but also adds a lot of weight to your resume in the future.

Although Lin Ran agreed, she was not as happy as the others imagined.The weather in the capital is very dry recently, and Lin Ran always stays up late to analyze data, write papers, and eat mostly unpalatable takeaways. He has been coughing for a long time recently.

Originally, I wanted to go to the hospital to take a good look before returning to my hometown, but now because of the urgent task of the project, I can only force myself to procrastinate and procrastinate.

Finally, at two o'clock in the morning one day, the tight string on my body finally broke.Lin Ran, who was typing in front of the computer, suddenly felt heart palpitations. He felt very uncomfortable and couldn't even breathe.

Lin Ran held the phone with trembling hands, looked at the contacts, but didn't know who to call.

Tang Ximeng has already returned to T City for an internship early, and he bought the same day ticket as Zhao Yingge; Song Zhengze has been contacting him recently, but he has been ignoring him, and the recent messages have become less and less. Can't hold this face...

After Lin Ran called 120, he forced himself to calm down and poured himself a glass of water. After drinking the water, his hands didn't shake as much as before. He slowly tried to tremble and climbed up, even in his schoolbag Stuffed a few changes of clothes and bank cards.

After Lin Ran finished packing, when he was sitting on the ground waiting for the ambulance to arrive, he finally felt sad, took a photo of the schoolbag, and then posted a Weibo. "Is there anyone who calls an ambulance and packs their own luggage?"

After posting, Lin Ran felt that she was too sleepy and tired, so she leaned against the door and slowly closed her eyes, unable to tell whether she had passed out or fell asleep.

When he woke up again, Lin Ran found that he was on the hospital bed. The person who was guarding him in front of the bed—Lin Ran blinked his eyes in disbelief. How could this person appear here?

Is he dreaming again?
