Xiaoxuan looked at her boss worriedly. Seeing that his face was pale and the fingers on the table were turning white from exerting force, she couldn't help but stepped forward to hold his arm and immediately felt the fine sweat under his shirt.
Yes, he was sweating all over.
It's not that she couldn't understand the undercurrent between the boss and the woman, but she also heard with her own ears that she was married. The man opposite was very gentle and elegant, and the two of them looked perfect together standing hand in hand. However, this fact made her
The boss was in so much pain that he couldn't help but sigh.
Every time I see the boss communicating with customers, he has a calm attitude, as if everything is under control. This is a kind of maturity and confidence. He has a strong psychological quality, enough to deal with any kind of special situation.
Under the circumstances, his mental tenacity was almost unparalleled, but at this time he lost his temper like this.
Looking at the woman opposite again, she was indifferent and emotionless. Even the beautiful smile on her lips was cold. Even if you don't love them, there is no need to hurt the boss like this. Obviously, they deliberately said that in front of the boss.
Factual.
Nie Yunfeng suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse like an old man who has aged for decades, "Luo Xia, can you give me your contact information?" His tone was extremely slow, lacking a bit of the youthful energy in his memory, but more powerful.
Showing firmness and strength. What remains unchanged is the faint, cold breath.
That was what Luo Xia had always liked, but now this voice made her feel extremely sad. She didn't expect that after he had been silent for so long, the first thing he said was this. Hesitation, panic, and all kinds of feelings filled her heart.
Before she could decide whether to tell her, Mo Jinghan beside her had already reported her number, politely said that he would contact her again, and then he hugged her waist and walked out the door.
She tried her best not to look back, but her heart felt weak. It was like there was a string behind her, that was the place where she had landed. However, she never looked back, nor did she see the place where she had always been expressionless.
, the calm man suddenly seemed to have lost his support, stroking his heart and breathing heavily.
If she saw it, would she still be heartbroken?
After getting into the car, Mo Jinghan fastened his seat belt. Seeing Luo Xia standing still, he sighed, leaned over and helped her fasten her seat belt. Her soft voice came to his ears: "
Why did you give him your phone number?"
Mo Jinghan raised his eyes, "Didn't you see that he was in pain?"
Really? He was in pain? Why couldn't I see it? I only saw his indifferent expression and that he was doing well.
"Summer, I know that hurting him hurts you more than anyone else. Is this okay? Besides, as long as you are here, he will be able to find your number. What's the difference whether you tell him or not?" Mo Jing
Han looked pityingly at the woman in front of him who was at a loss and could even be said to be filled with sadness.
In fact, there was one sentence he didn't say: Wasn't it just to meet him when he returned to Roucheng?
After such hard years, she persisted in walking through it. Even if she didn't say anything in her mouth, the hope in her eyes told him: she missed him and she missed this city. So he brought her back. What Roucheng means to her, he
She may not understand it thoroughly, but she knows that this is a place she will never forget for the rest of her life.
Back then, he accompanied her back to bury her father's ashes with her mother. She originally asked to go with him, but she refused, saying that she wanted to pay her last bit of filial piety to her father alone. So she didn't force it, thinking that she was just going to the cemetery.
, nothing big happened, but she almost collapsed when she came back, begging herself to leave immediately.
Although he promised, he didn't have the ability to make the flight take off early, so the ticket was still booked for noon the next day. So early the next morning, she asked him to go to the mountain.
Lai Temple burned incense and asked for fortune-telling, and there, she saw the man she had been thinking about for the first time.
The words "Nie Yunfeng" were in my mind from this moment. For a quick glance, even if I couldn't see through him, I felt that this man had a very strong aura. As long as he stood there, he could not help but attract everyone's attention. She hid behind him, unable to
The expression on his face when he dared to look and then stared quietly made him feel depressed and uncomfortable.
Summer, don't you know that the desolate look in your eyes has no color at all? If you don't come back to see Nie Yunfeng, I'm afraid you really won't be able to hold on.
After listening to Mo Jinghan's explanation, Luo Xia was silent and speechless.

"Boss, are you okay?" Xiaoxuan looked at the man with a sad face in shock.
How deep was the pain that knocked him down all of a sudden?
Nie Yunfeng was breathing unsteadily and was unable to answer her questions. He wanted to say that he was fine, but how could he be fine? Mo Jinghan's words were like digging a hole in his heart. It was already empty, and now even the outer packaging was empty.
punctured.
He raised his head and looked at the door of the restaurant. There was no familiar figure there, and it was just like the hallucination last time. He wanted to chase him out and ask for details, but Luo Xia's cold eyes and smile said everything, didn't he?
Severe pain came from the abdomen, and the vision began to dim. Her legs could no longer support her and she fell down. Before she fell into unconsciousness, she only heard Xiaoxuan shouting in panic: "Boss, boss..."
###
Luo Xia was not surprised when she received Nie Yunfeng's phone call. What surprised her was that he actually called her after a full two weeks. She felt extremely uncomfortable and slightly bitter. She would never admit that the feelings in her heart had changed since they met that day.
There is some expectation.
What surprised her even more was that the place where he asked her to meet was actually her old alma mater.
Her alma mater held many memories of her and him, but in the end she dropped out of school without finishing her studies. Standing at the corner of the school wall, she was in the shadow of the wall. The wall was covered with lush grapevines.
, as if there were living green walls, densely spread all the way to the foot of the brick wall.
Looking from under a patch of vines, the setting sun rises in golden red, as hazy as a distant dream.
Nie Yunfeng could not be seen at the gate of the campus. Maybe he had not arrived yet. I checked the time on my phone and found that it was indeed earlier than the agreed time. I thought that instead of waiting, I would go back to my alma mater first. Taking a slow step
, walking in, the boulevard has changed a lot after seven years. It is not like the dense sycamore trees on both sides at that time. In seasons like this, there will be fallen leaves all over the ground to inform people of the depression in the cold.
At this time, the plane trees are still there, but there are more modern billboards on both sides, and the advertisements are flipping one by one. The fallen leaves are also falling bustlingly, and it is obvious that there are special cleaning workers cleaning them.
Such a clean environment is not bad, but it lacks the smell of natural weather. Today is Sunday, and there are not many students on campus. Occasionally one or two pass by, and they must be students who come to school to make up for classes.
Following the route in her memory, she walked towards the teaching building at that time. Once, for a long time, she sat by the window of the classroom. Under the tree outside the window, a boy in a white shirt looked clear and calm, watching silently.
she.
At that time, she was the only one in his eyes.
She would look at him secretly with her peripheral vision, then give him a sly smile, and then unknowingly, before she had time to distinguish what love was, she would imprint him in her heart and fall in love with him in the years that followed.
It became a natural thing. Whether it was their own entanglements or the hand of fate, they were pushed together.
Walking, walking, getting closer and closer to that place, suddenly there was a kind of panic. She was afraid of many things, afraid of recalling her original feelings, afraid that there would be no one under the tree, only nothingness. She almost wanted to run away.
, however, he did not stop and continued to move forward.
Turning a corner, the big shady tree came into view. A white figure stood under the tree, so blurry and so clear. The white shirt and jeans were different from the ones I saw in the music restaurant that day, and also different from the ones in the bar.
It was different when I saw him, as if he was suddenly young and had returned to his youthful days.
Luo Xia covered his chest, and at the moment when his feet staggered, he grabbed the tree trunk on the side. His eyes were closed again and again, and the white figure was still clear, and he was standing there. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not restrain himself.
That dizzy feeling was as strange as reaching out into the clear lake water, only to be pierced into the bone and blood by the sharp and tiny teeth of the piranha. Thin drops of blood and tiny pains spread all the way to my heart.
Even she didn't understand why she and Nie Yunfeng were so in love with each other that they were inseparable, but now they were facing each other with difficulty. What separated them was not only the passage of time, but also the past that could never be returned.
and pain.
Nie Yunfeng, do you know? Even if you dress up the same as before, it will be difficult for us to go back to the original.
The white figure gradually became clear in front of her eyes, and he was walking towards her. In such a cold weather, would it be cold to wear only a white shirt? When this idea first appeared, she immediately suppressed it.
Using the tree behind him to support the weight of his body, he stared at his thick eyebrows and sad eyes. Everything was right before his eyes, within reach of his hand.
Suddenly, Nie Yunfeng raised his finger and touched her cheek, saying softly: "Don't cry, Xia Tian."
My heart trembled, and I was shocked to realize why the face in front of me became blurry, and then became clear again in a blink of an eye, like glass washed with water. It turned out that there was an inexplicable sparkle in her eyes.
Nie Yunfeng smiled and said: "In the summer, let's not talk about the past and let's walk around the school together. I haven't been here for a long time." In fact, he has never set foot on this campus since then.
The memories were so sweet that he did not dare to enjoy this sweetness, because everywhere here he could recall the gentle steps he once took and the mood he felt when he looked carefully at someone's back. Even when he came to school to study
, it is just to cover up the identity. But every feeling towards Xia Tian becomes the only truth in that falsehood.
If he lived his life with a mask before, then loving Xia Tian was his true state of mind after taking off the mask. But this love was not enough to compensate for the harm he had done to her. In that fateful love, he was after all
By his own means, he completely cut off the relationship between the two, no matter what the reason was.
So it was even more difficult for him to face this truth.
————
Everything goes back to yesterday, when he was still the same person wearing a white shirt under the shade of a tree, and she was still the same person sitting in the classroom listening to the teacher's lectures. In the blink of an eye, everything disappeared.
