Bai Xiyue didn't think too much at that moment, and her reaction was even faster than the system's warning.
She didn't think about anything when she rushed over to pull the person away. After all, there was a living person in front of her. It was only when he was rolling on the ground that she suddenly felt relieved that Chu Lan was okay.
She had previously discussed the issue of mission target death in a systematic manner.
The system says that the mission target is dead, and it is not possible to roll back to the previous node where the error occurred, because this function only works on the host. If the mission target dies within the time range of mission completion, then the entire mission must be started over again.
Bai Xiyue felt tired just thinking about it. If she really restored it to the factory settings, she would vomit blood.
The car rushed to the middle of the road and stopped. The cars on both sides quickly braked and went around it.
The car just stopped there and didn't move forward, seriously obstructing traffic.
Many people stopped and looked on. Chu Lan realized belatedly what he had experienced and was still a little frightened.
In that extremely dangerous situation just now, his mind was blank, and he was completely unable to think or react.
He suddenly hugged Bai Xiyue tightly, and Bai Xiyue leaned against his chest and patted him on the back.
"Are you okay?"
Chu Lan let go and looked at Bai Xiyue.
Just now she suddenly hugged him and pulled him back, and he fell to the ground.
"I'm fine, but you should be more careful. Next time, check if there are any cars coming before crossing the road. Even if the light is green, some people will run a red light..."
Bai Xiyue was mumbling and educating, when suddenly Chu Lan held her hand.
His fingers stroked the back of Bai Xiyue's hand, with fear in his eyes.
This feeling of brushing shoulders with death was thrilling and heart-pounding. Chu Lan's heartbeat gradually slowed down, and his mood gradually calmed down.
The traffic police came quickly and knocked on the window to ask questions, but there was no response.
I tried to open the car door and found it was not locked. The driver was slumped over the steering wheel with a pale face.
The traffic police immediately called an ambulance and came to inquire about Chu Lan's condition.
Chu Lan said that nothing happened to him and he did not suffer any injuries.
But if it weren't for Bai Xiyue, he might have collapsed here.
"The driver may have had some acute illness and lost control of his condition. Fortunately nothing happened. He must have been scared."
Logically speaking, people with such acute symptoms should not be able to obtain a driver's license or drive a car. In addition, this person ran a red light, causing traffic inconvenience, which is already an illegal act.
Chu Lan refused to go to the hospital or get the contact information to compensate for mental damages. This matter was troublesome and he didn't want his parents to know.
"Come on, have a drink to calm your nerves. I'll treat you."
Bai Xiyue patted Chu Lan's shoulder. One of their hands was still holding each other, and she simply led Chu Lan forward.
Chu Lan followed her closely, then walked to Bai Xiyue's side and walked forward side by side with her.
There weren't many people in the milk tea shop. Bai Xiyue and Chu Lan ordered a drink each and sat on the chairs.
Chu Lan stared at Bai Xiyue with an obscure look in his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to repay me for saving your life with your body?"
Bai Xiyue held her face and said to Chu Lan with a smile.
Anyone could tell that what she said was a joke, but Chu Lan took it seriously.
"Thank you for just now..."
His voice was a little hoarse, and he whispered thank you first.
"Why do I find it so strange to hear you thank me?"
Bai Xiyue said jokingly, as if she didn't think what she had just done was such a great thing. She didn't talk about it over and over again like most people. It was as if she had just done something insignificant, and she smiled and downplayed it.
The more she acted like this, the more Chu Lan... He couldn't express his feelings, he just felt happy and sad at the same time.
The more I like her, the more I understand her attitude.
In the situation just now, she pulled him back, quickly calmed down, and was able to comfort him quickly.
There was no fear in his eyes. He was like a brave hero who saved a stranger.
She didn't care about him that much, Chu Lan knew it clearly.
But knowing this makes me even more sad.
"If...if I said..."
Chu Lan looked at Bai Xiyue and was about to continue speaking when the waiter brought a tray and placed two drinks in front of Bai Xiyue and Chu Lan respectively, interrupting Chu Lan's words.
Chu Lan fell silent, and a hint of sadness appeared in his usually indifferent eyes and brows.
He was apparently very quiet, and looked neither sad nor happy, but somehow one could sense a hint of loneliness from him.
"What do you want to say? Hesitating is not your style."
Bai Xiyue felt it, but pretended not to know.
"If I wanted to take our relationship to the next level, would you agree?"
"Hmm? Like at the beginning?"
"No, it's not the same."
Chu Lan shook his head. What he wanted was not that. Or rather, it was more than that.
He was very nervous, and there was a rare nervousness in his eyes when he looked at Bai Xiyue.
He knew that this was a bit unreasonable, but he couldn't help it.
He thought Bai Xiyue would most likely not agree, but even so, he was still looking forward to her saying yes.
Even if there is a possibility of failure, I still want to hear the answer.
"Is it different from what I thought?"
Bai Xiyue stirred the drink in the quilt with a straw, and the smile on her face faded a little.
"yes."
Bai Xiyue fell silent, which made Chu Lan's heart hang high.
"You are not moved by what happened just now, right? There is no need to be like this. I am really not used to you being like this. Chu Lan, what should you do? You should be like you did on the day you said you wanted to break up. When I was vomiting and feeling uncomfortable, frown and calmly say, 'I remember I wore a condom.'"
Bai Xiyue was smiling, her expression was sincere, but the irony was so strong that Chu Lan felt a little embarrassed.
His heart, which had been hanging high, suddenly fell down and was smashed into pieces.
But he knew that he couldn't blame Bai Xiyue, he could only blame himself.
Chu Lan was at a loss, his hands on his knees were clenched together, and his body looked tense.
"In fact, even if it wasn't you, even if it was a stranger, someone I disliked, I would still save him, unless it was someone I thought was extremely evil. After all, it's a human life. I don't have anything to ask of you in return, it's not necessary, so don't take it too seriously."
Bai Xiyue had a nonchalant look on her face, and it seemed like she really didn't care at all.
Every word she said was like a knife stabbing into Chu Lan's heart.
Not needed, not needed, not necessary.
You are not important to her at all.
It doesn't matter at all.
"Of course, I won't ask you to repay me for anything. I'm not that kind of person. It's just how it was before, and it's just how it is now."
"As for what you said, I don't have that idea. Don't be so impulsive and really want to commit yourself to me. I don't dare to fall in love with you, right? If we had made it clear like before, then maybe it would be okay."
"Chu Lan, I know you. You are not the kind of person who would really fall in love. Just tell me what you said. Don't worry, I won't take it seriously. Others may not."
Chu Lan listened to every word, remembered it in his heart, and clenched his fists even tighter.
He lowered his head, not letting Bai Xiyue see the loss of composure on his face.
Everything she said was a response to his previous actions, as if she was mocking his delusion.
There are some things that he can't just brush aside and pretend nothing happened.
It's not like he said that we can just part ways and neither of us owes anyone anything.
Things are over, but the relationship is not.
"Thank you for accompanying me this afternoon. I'm leaving now."
It would be useless to say more at this time. Bai Xiyue took the drink, hummed a song quietly, and left the milk tea shop.
Although something unexpected happened in the middle, it was undoubtedly a huge driving force and we made a profit this time.
Of course, it’s not enough to hurt Chu Lan’s heart just by what I said today. It hurt him a lot, for sure, but not to the extreme.
Chu Lan would never give up just like that. This was different from the situation with Liu Wei Changxi. Chu Lan had to strike back several times.
Bai Xiyue smiled as she asked the system to remove her sick buff. Immediately, her headache and stuffy nose were gone, and she was so happy that she could take off on the spot.
Chu Lan didn't know how long he had stayed in the milk tea shop. He just stared at the drink in front of him, with many things running through his mind.
Most of them are fragmentary and scene-based.
One moment she was smiling sweetly at him, the next moment she was mocking him, the next moment she was lying on the bed, hooking her arms around his neck and kissing him, and the next moment she was saying they would no longer have any contact.
The chaotic scenes finally came together, causing Chu Lan to feel quite painful.
The last scene in Naihai is actually frozen on the day they separated.
She was lying on the bed, and after hearing what he said, she gave him a cold look.
He could hardly remember anything that happened between them before that.
I can't remember what she looked like before. There is only a vague image in my mind, but once I think about it deeply, it all becomes a bubble.
Chu Lan took a sip of the cold drink. The cocoa tasted sweet and bitter. It slid down his esophagus into his stomach, making him suddenly feel like vomiting.
His fingers grasped the clothes in front of him, with pain in his eyes.
It's all your own fault, that's probably the case.
It's really ironic.
——Don't worry, I won't take it seriously.
How funny.
She told him that she didn't take his sincerity seriously.
Not seriously.
The sweetness of the cocoa just now turned into bitterness in my mouth, and the bitterness penetrated into my heart.
If...if they hadn't started like that, would everything be different.
如果他沒有在察覺到她的喜歡的時候抽身離開，讓她那麽難受，會不會現在就不會這樣了。
昔日棄之如履，今日求而不得。
褚瀾提着那杯冷掉的可可，在路邊走着。
他朝着家的方向走着，現才已經到了放學回家的時間，他不知道去那兒，似乎也沒地方可以去，所以還是回了家。
他可能需要好好的想一想，理一理思緒，想想要怎麽辦。
雖然期待落空，但是在那之前他已經做好了失敗的準備，所以倒也不覺得特別的受打擊到一蹶不振的地步，他好在明白了一些事情，知道了問題，就可以解決問題了。
手上的可可脂喝了一口。褚瀾沒有扔掉，帶着它回了家。
打開家門的時候。他就感覺到了一股不同尋常的氣氛。
家裏的燈開着，他媽媽正襟危坐在沙發上，爸爸不在，應該是還沒下班。
每次他媽媽這個姿勢，多半是生氣了。
褚瀾心裏若有所感，但不清楚事情暴露到什麽地步，仍然維持着往日的模樣。
“下課了？”
“恩。”
“聽說你最近考試成績下降了？”
褚瀾心微微放下，大概是上次測驗掉排名的事情，白西月的分數比他高。
想到白西月，褚瀾表情黯然了不少。
“說說為什麽？”
“總分沒什麽變化，只是有一個同學考的比我好。”
褚瀾将飲料放在了桌上，坐在了沙發上。
他其實很想直接走回房間，但是如果這麽做了家裏估計就要翻天了，他還是坐到了沙發上聽訓。
“為什麽人家能考的那麽高你不能？”
褚媽媽的臉上帶着壓抑的怒氣，看了一眼那杯奶茶，眼裏怒氣更深。
“因為她比我優秀。”
褚瀾毫無心理負擔的說出這句話，真心實意，絕不作僞。
“我是這樣教你的？”
褚媽媽一巴掌拍在茶幾上，險些急火攻心。
“什麽叫比你優秀？這整個一中誰不知道你最厲害，你從小就是媽媽的驕傲，你沒考第一名不是你不如人家，是你不努力！”
褚瀾垂着眼眸，不與盛怒之中的母親争論。
這是小時候常出現場面了，他習以為常，也沒覺得如何。
“說吧，下午去哪了？”
褚瀾心裏一突，卻也沒擡頭，只是簡短了回答了一下。
“送同學去醫院了。”
“要送一下午？一節課也不上？你把她送去外省又回來了一趟是吧？”
褚瀾不頂嘴，讓母親繼續說。
“是個女同學吧？”
褚瀾默認。
“我從沒想過這種事情會發生在你身上，你知道你現在的身份是什麽嗎？是學生！學生最重要的事情是什麽？是學習！不是什麽不相幹的一些事情，不是談情說愛，褚瀾，你知道嗎？”
“你現在是個高三的學生了，馬上就要高考了，你要幹什麽啊？”
“你非要氣死我們是嗎？今天你阿姨打電話給我說，說在路上看見你和一個女孩子一起在走路，她說話的語氣你不知道有多驚訝，我聽到的時候也很驚訝，我兒子怎麽可能在上課時間，和一個女孩子在校外一起走路呢？”
“你阿姨說沒錯，就是你，我當時臊的恨不得鑽地底下去，丢死個人了。挂了你阿姨的電話之後，我趕緊給你班主任打電話，你班主任說你生病請假了，我就奇怪了，你生病請假不不回家去哪兒了？和小姑娘在外面閑逛？你說你要幹什麽？你是不是不想讀了？這事兒你爸還不知道呢，你看他知道了會怎麽說你。”
褚媽媽冷笑，眼睛看着褚瀾。
“我真的是送我們同學去醫院，她身體不舒服，她就是上次考了第一的那個人，她數學英語可以拿到滿分。”
褚媽媽噎了一下，讓褚瀾繼續往下說。
“她想要去買個練習題，我想着就和她一起去了，下午都是講卷子，課已經講得差不多了，而且她考滿分，我可以問她，所以我們就去了書店。”
有理有據，令人信服。
“如果媽媽你不相信的話，你可以打電話問班主任，她是不是第一名，也可以去問同學，她今天是不是病了。”
褚瀾的表情沉靜，說的話令人無法反駁。
“可就算是這樣。你也不能一下午不去上課啊。”
褚媽媽氣勢弱了很多，但還是敲了敲桌子如是說。
“既然已經會了，就沒必要再浪費時間聽了，還不如多學一點東西。”
“你這孩子……其實就是和女同學多待一會兒吧。”
褚媽媽被褚瀾逗樂，也沒再繃着個臉了。
“我回房間了。”
“行，你等會拿錢出去買吃吧，你爸今晚有應酬。”
褚媽媽是打算好好說教一頓的，氣的連飯也沒煮。
褚瀾點了點頭，拎着飲料回了房間。
他有很多事情想要傾訴，但是找不到人可以說，沒什麽損友知交好友，向來獨來獨往。
他知道那些事情是不可能和父母說的，讓父母寬慰之中事情對他來說一直是個奢望，他不可能得到回應反而會被狠狠的訓斥一頓。
那些事情壓抑在心裏，讓他有些疲憊。
他不知道應該怎麽辦才好。
他打開了手機的便簽，往裏面打了很多字，是自己的傾訴，也是自己的發洩。
他沉默着，眉眼沉郁。
寫到最後，他沒再往回看，全部删掉。
褚瀾無意間點到了相冊，看見了今天中午拍到的一個照片。
白西月閉着眼睛睡得正香，讓褚瀾心裏一軟，不自覺露出了笑容。
如果時間能夠停在那一刻其實也不粗，如果再來一次，他其實還是會問出那個問題的，就算知道成功的幾率非常小。
“兒子啊，等會你……”
褚媽媽忽然推開的房門，正好看見了褚瀾面上未曾消散的笑意。
身為母親的直覺加上剛剛才說過的事情讓她感覺到有一些不對勁，所以她立刻走近。
“你在看什麽？”
“沒什麽，媽，下次你進我房間前應該敲門。”
褚瀾有些不願意将那張照片删除，他感覺自己一旦删除了，可能就沒有第二次能夠看到那種場面的機會了，但是如果不删除的話，情況會變得非常棘手。
“敲門的事情等會再說，把你手機拿過來。”
褚媽媽伸出了手，褚瀾還是把手機拿了過去。
褚媽媽看着桌面，點開了相冊，相冊裏只有幾張風景照，她打開了手機聯系人，裏面除了她知道的人之外沒有別人，短信裏面也是空蕩蕩的。
她有些狐疑的點開了褚瀾的社交軟件，裏面的聯系人少的可憐，看起來沒什麽可疑的。
“你快期末考試了，最近還是不要用手機了，我給你收着，等你到寒假再給你。”
褚瀾點頭，一副無所謂的模樣。
“剛剛你想和我說什麽？”
“沒事了，等會自己出去吃完東西上課去吧。”
褚媽媽關上了房門，房門發出輕響，連帶着褚瀾的心情也一起往下掉。
那張照片還是被他删掉了，但是卻記在了腦子裏。
他之前也沒有要過白西月社交軟件的聯系方式，只是要了電話號碼，電話號號碼他也沒有記錄下來，只是記在了腦子裏。
所以那個手機裏沒有任何的蛛絲馬跡，可以能夠讓母親查到他們的事情。
褚瀾躺在床上，看着天花板出神。
他身邊似乎徹底沒有了和白西月相關的事情，他心裏想着她念着她，他們曾經那麽親密，但是他周圍沒有一點她存在過的痕跡。
也并不是全然沒有的，褚瀾忽的從床上坐了起來，打開了自己書桌的抽屜。
那張創口貼被他放進了一個塑料的小袋子裏，裝在了抽屜裏面。
褚瀾翻找了一下，看見了被藏在最底下的創口貼，拿出來看了看，又放了回去。
系統将他的動作盡收眼底，把一切轉述給了白西月。
白西月輕笑，沒說什麽。
意料之中的事情。
就讓褚瀾自己好好品品什麽叫做自己挖坑給自己跳，人總是要為自己曾經做過的事情，付出一些代價的。
她現在正坐在網吧裏打游戲，她回了喬宋之前的消息，告訴他她在的地方，然後讓喬宋不要來，但是喬宋估計還是會來。
喬宋當然會來。
一下午褚瀾和白西月都沒來，他心裏都焦灼的不行了。
一放學就回家，發現白西月回了他的消息，他立馬就打的去了白西月說的地方。
網吧都有些烏煙瘴氣，帶着一股濃重的煙味，和空調的味道混合在一起，讓人有些不舒服。
喬宋張望着找到了白西月，白西月身上的校服已經脫了下來，袖子挽了起來，露出了白皙纖細的手腕，她帶着耳機正坐着，手指在鍵盤上點動。
她的面上沒有表情，屏幕的光照在她的臉上，帶來一種冷硬的感覺。
看起來又酷又美又冷漠。
喬宋被這種感覺所傾倒，倒是沒有吵白西月，只是靜靜地走到了她的旁邊，看着她的屏幕。
Qiao Song didn't understand the game very well because he almost never played games and knew very little about this aspect, but he could see that Bai Xiyue's operation was very exciting.
He waited until Bai Xiyue took off her headphones before he began to praise her.
"Didn't I tell you not to come?"
She must want Qiao Song to come, otherwise why would she include her address in the message?
"I came to see you. You seem to be feeling unwell, so why are you still playing games?"
"I'm almost well now. I feel refreshed."
Of course I felt refreshed. I was one step closer to mission success, so of course I was happy.
"Where's Chu Lan?"
"How would I know? Are you looking for him?"
Qiao Song shook his head, pushed his glasses on his face, and shook his head.
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"Not yet. Let's go together."
"good."
Qiao Song's eyes lit up and he nodded.
Bai Xiyue went to the counter to settle the bill and followed Qiao Song out.
In fact, Da Qiao's patience is much better than Xiao Qiao's, including her endurance.
Da Qiao probably wanted to ask her about what happened between her and Chu Lan in the afternoon, but she was too embarrassed to ask and could hold it back in her heart.
If it was Xiao Qiao, it would probably be much more straightforward.
They went to a ramen restaurant. Bai Xiyue ordered a bowl of beef ramen, and Qiao Song ordered the same. The two sat opposite each other.
Qiao Song actually wanted to ask in his heart, but he remained silent while eating noodles.
The voice in his heart kept urging him, and after the urging was fruitless, Qiao Song raised his hand and took off his glasses.
Bai Xiyue ate noodles while watching his performance. After Xiao Qiao came out, she waved at him as a greeting.
"You spent the whole afternoon with Chu Lan?"
See, Bai Xiyue knew he would be so direct.
"What? Are you jealous?"
Bai Xiyue picked up a piece of beef and put it into her mouth, asking vaguely.
"Yeah, I'm almost dying of jealousy."
Lemons on the lemon tree, you and me under the lemon tree.
The author has something to say: See you tomorrow.
