"Keke, I'm back!" Huo Siyuan hurriedly entered the door and looked back and forth, trying to find Coco.
When Coco heard the sound, she poked her head out of the kitchen with a spatula in hand and said, "You're back. Wait, we'll start dinner soon."
"Did you make it yourself?" Huo Siyuan walked over expectantly and leaned against the kitchen door.
"Oh, I didn't do it, could it be you?" As he spoke, Coco poured out the newly fried vegetables and urged him, "Okay, stop standing here, wash your hands, and then wash your hands."
Bring out the food."
"Okay, as ordered!" Huo Siyuan didn't care at all whether he had eaten or not. He washed his hands in a hurry and came over to help, preparing to have another big meal.
This is food cooked by Keke himself, how can he not eat it?
It's definitely impossible!
"Keke, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good. It tastes really good!" Huo Siyuan couldn't help but praise.
Keke laughed, picked up some vegetables for himself, and said, "I have always taken care of myself. Will my skills become better as time goes by?"
"Hey, it's great. If I could eat Coco's cooking every day, I would be willing to die." Huo Siyuan's exaggerated statement instantly made Coco angry. He stared and shouted: "What are you talking about?"
Huo Siyuan recalled it briefly and said with a smile: "Haha, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, don't worry about it, I was just joking."
"Well, that's good. Life is not just something you say you don't want. If you can really give up so easily, life won't be the most precious thing in the world."
Huo Siyuan smiled sheepishly and said nothing more.
After the meal, Coco brought the remaining dishes to the kitchen one by one, but when she came back, she looked hesitant and didn't know how to open her mouth.
"Keke, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?" Huo Siyuan seemed to notice her hesitation and asked first.
Coco took a deep breath, and as if she had made up her mind, she looked up at Huo Siyuan and affirmed word by word: "I plan to leave."
"Leave! Oh...ah...what..." Huo Siyuan's brain stopped on the spot for a few seconds, and then he jumped up as if he had stepped on something, grabbed Coco and asked: "Coco, what do you mean?
Don’t you believe me and think I told Lili about your stay with me, so you want to run away?”
Coco was startled for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, "Huo Siyuan, don't be so unsure. I believe you won't tell Lili about this. I just thought about my future, so I want to leave completely."
Start over."
"Start over? What does it mean to start over again? If you change places and no one knows you, does it count as starting over?"
Huo Siyuan didn't know what was wrong with him, but he felt that what Coco said this time was not simple. It seemed that leaving was not as simple as leaving. He was afraid.
"Maybe. I don't know exactly what I want to do yet. I just think I'll take it one step at a time!" Coco said easily, but Huo Siyuan's heart almost rose to his throat when he heard it.
"No, Coco, I don't agree with your decision. If you don't want everyone to find you, then you can stay here all the time. I will find another place to live. As long as I don't tell you, and you don't tell me, I won't
Someone knows."
But Coco still smiled and shook her head, "If I decide that no one can find me, you will also be included."
"Coco..." Huo Siyuan didn't know what to say.
How could she say such cruel words in front of him! She knew how sad he was.
"Okay, don't worry, I will try my best to contact you after I find a new place to stay and start a new life."
"Are you telling the truth?" Having said this, what else could he say to refuse to stay!
Coco tilted her head and thought, "It should be true. I said I would try my best."
"How long will it take?" Huo Siyuan closed his eyes and opened them again and asked.
"How long will what take?"
"It's just how long I won't have any news from you until you are willing to contact me."
"Oh, this!"
Huo Siyuan nodded vigorously, hoping that she could give him an exact time so that he could have something to look forward to.
"I don't know about this. I don't know how long it will take for my life to start over. There must be a certain buffer period." Coco looked at Huo Siyuan with innocent eyes, as if she was just joking.
Play the same.
But he knew that she was not joking. If she was joking, she would not consider the buffer period. She is serious. This time there may be no news from her for a long, long time.
"Keke, my biggest bottom line is two months. After two months, no matter what your situation is, whether you are willing or not, you have to contact me. I want to know if you are okay, okay?"
Coco's brows wrinkled unconsciously.
In fact, what she said was just to appease him as much as possible. What she meant by starting over was not just a simple starting over. She wanted to really start over. Since she wanted to start over, she had to give up everything she had done before.
Including good friends like them.
"Two months!? Can the time be longer?" Coco tried to negotiate.
Is two months enough? She doesn't know. But even if it is enough, she doesn't want to really 'contact' him so soon.
"Whether it's enough or not, the time must be two months, otherwise I will tell Lili now that you are here with me and I will see where else you can go."
Threaten her!
"Okay! I promise you!" Keke reluctantly compromised, but...
"Huo Siyuan, can you help me with one more thing before I leave?"
"What, you said." Huo Siyuan waited seriously.
This time, Coco took several breaths before she had the courage to raise her head and say, "Can you lend me some money?"
"Why do you need money?" Huo Siyuan was surprised.
A sum of money? What does she want the money for?
"I...I...are penniless and can't even afford a bus ticket, let alone start over in an unfamiliar place, so I want to lend you some money first and wait until I get better.
I will return it to you again."
Huo Siyuan blinked expressionlessly and suddenly laughed heartily.
"Okay, okay, Coco, I will lend you as much as you want, but the condition is that you must exchange it."
"Well, this is for sure, we can't owe it." Ke Ke looked at Huo Siyuan with some confusion.
Why was he so happy when she asked him to borrow money...well, happy, a kind of assured happiness?
Huo Siyuan saw Coco's confused look and blinked deliberately, but he would not tell her why.
