Yuncheng, Xu family.
Xu Lin has been back for several days, but he stays in his room every day and refuses to go out no matter how much he is called. He only shows up at mealtimes, and he eats quickly with a melancholy look on his face before quickly returning to his room.
Xu's mother was a gentle woman who usually let him do as he pleased. However, seeing that he was always absent-minded, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, so at noon that day, when Xu Lin stood up and was about to go in, she stopped him.
"Son, wait a minute, Mom wants to ask you something."
Xu Lin's expression didn't change at all as he sat down in front of her. Mother Xu looked at him as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. He didn't say anything either, waiting for her to speak.
After a long while, he finally heard his mother ask cautiously, "Son, you seem to be in a bad mood recently. Are you heartbroken?"
Xu Lin was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to hear these words from his mother.
But it was only a moment, and he quickly reacted and shook his head gently, "No."
It was just a one-sided love, and in the end it was a joke. That person never had me in his eyes.
Seeing his eyes were a little vacant and his expression changed slightly, Xu's mother knew that she had touched upon his heart. "Son, tell me, do you have a girl you like?"
He didn't hesitate for a moment, "Yes."
"Then she doesn't like you?" Xu's mother has always been confident in her son's charm. Over the years, countless girls have written love letters to him. Every time she sees their fanatical eyes towards her son, she gets a headache.
When will this damn charm of my son end?
Seeing that he looked much more depressed after returning home, I thought something had affected him. Who would have thought that my son, who had never encountered any setbacks since he was a child, was actually trapped by love.
Xu Lin was silent for a while, his eyelashes drooped, his eyes looking at the floor, and nodded, "Yeah, she has someone she likes."
Xu's mother was truly shocked. She tried to comfort him, "Son, there are many beautiful women out there. You're so handsome and outstanding, and there are plenty of people who like you. Let's not always focus on that girl. Even though she might be very good and outstanding, she already has someone she loves, right?"
Xu Lin didn't say anything else, his eyes were fixed on the floor. The floor was polished to a shine, and he could see his reflection in it. His brows were slightly furrowed, and the expression on his face was not very good.
I can’t tell whether I feel lost or sad.
I have imagined this answer countless times, but when the day finally comes, I still find it unbearable.
On the day the college entrance examination ended, he saw her and Yu Muyang standing under a tree. She had a smile on her face, and she felt happy and relieved when looking at Yu Muyang.
He once thought that if he worked harder and treated her better, she would definitely see him, be moved by him, and then fall in love with him.
But every time he saw the two of them appear in front of him like a perfect match, he just felt that he was so ridiculous, and he didn't know how to describe that feeling.
But he knew clearly that there was a dull pain in the area of his heart.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at his worried mother, forcing a smile, "Don't worry, Mom, your son is not that fragile. I'll go back to my room first."
Mother Xu watched him walk towards his room. His steps were a little unsteady, but he still walked in quickly and closed the door.
Xu's mother sighed slightly. She had never thought that her son would one day be trapped by love. In this world, love is the most hurtful thing.
Xu Lin returned to his room, sat down at the desk, and skillfully took out two photos from the drawer.
The first one is my elementary school graduation photo, and the second one is my high school graduation photo.
In the elementary school graduation photo, Yan Cuo is very small, standing in the first row, looking at the camera expressionlessly. Despite his young age, he gives people a feeling of loneliness, and his figure is so thin that it makes people feel distressed just looking at him.
The second photo is Yan Cuo now. She has grown taller and has become more cheerful. In the photo, the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, and her eyes are smiling. There seem to be stars in her eyes, shining with a light that almost made Xu Lin lost.
Six years is neither long nor short, but it is enough time for them to miss each other, and it is also enough time for her to meet a boy who makes her fall in love at first sight.
Xu Lin had never envied Yu Muyang so much as he did at this moment, because the stars in her eyes were brought by him. It was he who made her love to laugh, become sunny and cheerful, and become such an outstanding and touching girl.
If he could do it again, Xu Lin would definitely chase her to Ancheng, keep pestering her, and never give others a chance to interfere.
But there is no going back. The ending has already been decided. Even in the future, the marriage certificate will have both of their names on it, and I will just be a passer-by in her life.
In his 18 years of life, Xu Lin has never been self-deprecating. He has been an excellent person since he was young. He has heard a lot of praise and knows what kind of existence he is to others.
I am not bad, really not bad, but Yancuo, why can't you try to like me? I can also give my all to be good to you, I also want to see you smile at me, and I also want to have a future with you.
Everyone else is dispensable and insignificant.
He held the photo tightly, ignoring everyone else. She was the only one in his eyes. She was smiling so happily in the photo, and he wanted to laugh with her, but he pulled the corners of his mouth but couldn't smile at all.
He gave up, gave up on her, and gave up on himself.
He hid the photo deep in his desk and never dared to take it out again. It was something he would never dare to touch again, and could not touch.
After doing all this, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes, but his mind was full of her face, crying, laughing, stubborn, scene after scene, like a slide show, playing in his mind.
It turned out that they had known each other for so long, so long that he could now remember everything she looked like.
But what does it matter? Time will eventually wash away many things, her face will become more and more blurred, and I will eventually forget her.
He shook his head and forced himself not to think about her, but it was useless. Every scene was so clear, as if it had been engraved in his mind long ago.
He stood up, looked out the window, and recalled the scene when he first came here.
Because my mother was in poor health, my father found this place. The scenery here is pleasant and the people are simple, making it a good place for recuperation.
I am different from the kids here, not only in my dress and behavior, but also in the way I talk.
When I was a child, I always had a strong vanity. I liked to see them praising me, as if I were an omniscient hero.
They would ask him about the outside world, ask him questions, and ask him for advice on English. He was happy to teach them and never got bored because he enjoyed the feeling of being loved.
Until Yancuo appeared.
