Mu Jingjue stood alone in front of the window, drinking glass after glass of wine as if he was drinking boiled water.

He looked out the window, as if lost in thought.

He seemed particularly lonely in the huge room, as if he had been forgotten.

It's true that I once liked her, but it's also true that I've let her go now.

Today, at the airport, when he saw her for the first time, he realized that he hadn't thought of her for a long time. He felt neither happy nor excited, just a faint emotion.

At this moment, his thoughts drifted away, thinking about the past, their first meeting, from childhood sweethearts to the beginning of love, from the beginning of love to passionate love, from passionate love to separation, more than ten years have passed, but there is still no sadness of marriage.

When I was ten years old, a neighbor moved into the neighborhood. On the morning of the move, I was alone in the yard, lying on the ground, watching the lively grasshopper flying from here to there, and staring at the snail moving slowly in the grass.

Suddenly, a clear and ethereal voice sounded in my ears.

"What are you doing lying on the ground? What's fun on the ground?" The little girl asked him curiously, blinking her big round eyes.

The boy turned his head, and the light from her body shone into his eyes, a little dazzling. The boy stretched out his five fingers to block the sunlight, looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, it was like an angel falling into the world.

The boy was stunned for a moment and remained silent for a long time.

The girl suddenly burst out laughing.

The boy was a little embarrassed and his face turned red. He didn't know if it was because he was hot or shy.

The girl suddenly lay down beside him and picked the grass off his face with her hands. He, who never let strangers touch his face, let her do it.

"What are you doing? Why are you touching my face?" the boy asked angrily.

"How can I get you some grass if you don't touch my face, you stingy guy."

"You..." Surprisingly, the boy just said "you" and stopped talking.

After a long time, the boy saw her staring at the snails in the grass, and then he asked her.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

"I just moved here today. Look, over there. My parents and I came here today to meet his old friend."

Mu Jingjue looked in the direction of her finger, but didn't see any houses. This was a wealthy villa area, all single-family houses, and they were quite far apart. He thought she should be nearby.

But, they came to see their friends? Could they be visiting their parents?

"My name is Si Yutong, what's your name?"

The girl stared at him with her big round eyes, as if trying to read it from his face.

"My name is Mu Jingjue, and I live here."

"Mu Jingjue, sounds nice." The girl was about to say something to him when a woman called her over there. The voice was intermittent, and she looked up at this side, looking for her.

"You silly girl, come here quickly." Si's mother shouted with a hint of blame.

When Mu Jingjue saw someone coming, he immediately patted his things and stood up.

The girl also looked over there and immediately stood up from the grass, patting the grass off her body while talking.

"I'm leaving now. My mom is calling me. Remember to come play with me next time. My name is Si Yutong."

The boy looked at her running back, feeling a little disappointed. How could she run away so quickly? He raised his head and looked into the distance again. But she was still nearby, so it was okay.

Now the snail was bored and went into the house by itself.

"Yutong, why did you run there just now? That's someone else's yard. People will talk about you." The woman touched the girl's head and taught her earnestly.

The girl didn't get angry and just replied "OK" obediently.

It was only after the Si family left that Mu Jingjue learned from his parents that the two families were very good friends and had always been in contact, but they lived far away and seldom contacted each other. Now that they had moved here, they could visit more often in the future.

From then on, these children often visited each other and went to and from school together.

Their relationship grew stronger and stronger. They went to school together, played in the yard together, studied together, and went out to play together. Life seemed to have suddenly accelerated, and the two of them began to grow up together.

After entering puberty, the relationship between the two changed, with an inexplicable haziness. Adolescent boys and girls are always sensitive and delicate.

On a rainy evening, neither of them brought an umbrella, nor did they ask a driver to pick them up. Si Yutong saw that the rain outside was not going to stop for a while, so she took Mu Jingjue's hand and rushed outside. The two of them ran quickly in the rain, and the rain hit their faces, but it still couldn't stop their excitement of running.

The hand I held felt incredibly hot, and my throbbing heart seemed to be beating erratically. After running a short distance, they stopped and stared at each other. For a long moment, no one spoke.

"I like you, let's be a couple, I don't want to hide my love for you anymore."
