Bai Xiyue just smiled and put a piece of beef in Qiao Song's bowl.
"I never gave him any food. Are you happy?"
She had never picked up food for Chu Lan, but they had eaten the same thing.
"Just happy."
"You and he didn't show up all afternoon, and I thought we were out."
Qiao Song had a look of disappointment on his face. He looked a little pitiful.
"Stop acting in front of me. I'd trust you more if you let Da Qiao do it."
Bai Xiyue rolled her eyes and continued eating her ramen.
This aggrieved look really doesn't suit Xiao Qiao, it seems like she's not serious at all.
"Big Qiao? Am I Little Qiao?"
"Yes, it's easy to distinguish and sounds good, right?"
Qiao Song actually had a sincere smile on his face.
This is the first person to see him as separate from the main personality, and the only one who knows his secret.
Although saying this may sound a bit contradictory, because this is a causal relationship, after all, only Bai Xiyue knows it, so Bai Xiyue is the first person to distinguish them.
But that’s not all he wanted to express.
She did not regard this secondary personality as something that should not exist or that existed only dependent on the main personality. She knew that they were Qiao Song, and she also knew that he was just him.
It's a very relaxing feeling. You don't have to pretend or worry about a lot of things.
When it came time to pay, it was Qiao Song who paid.
When Bai Xiyue was about to give him the meal money, he refused.
"How can you ask girls to pay when you are courting them?"
Qiao Song waved his hand and took out a lollipop from his pocket and put it in Bai Xiyue's hand.
“Strawberry flavor.”
Like her, it's both sour and sweet, but when you taste it, it's mostly sweet.
"I didn't realize you carried a lollipop with you."
"He brought it."
Qiao Song immediately put the blame on his own personality, while Bai Xiyue looked like she saw through it but didn't say anything.
Looking at Qiao Song's natural movements in taking the candy, whether Big Qiao likes it or not is another matter, but Little Qiao definitely likes it.
"It's almost time to go back to class."
"Well, let's go."
Bai Xiyue hailed a taxi and went to school with Qiao Song.
The lights in the classroom were on. Chu Lan didn't have dinner and went to school very early.
He sat in his seat, staring at a book in a daze. When Shen Wan came, he saw that he looked a little lonely.
"What's wrong, Chu Lan? You don't look very happy."
"There is a sequel to the incident I saw last time."
"Which website did you tell me about this news with such a follow-up?"
"It's a post, but my phone was taken away by my mom, so I can't share it with you."
Chu Lan continued talking without changing his expression. Shen Wan sat down and put on an expression of listening attentively.
"Go ahead, I'm listening, what did that boy do again?"
Chu Lan briefly described the process of what happened today.
"This girl...actually, she was a little interested in that boy, otherwise why would they stay together for an entire afternoon? And the girl saved that boy. I guess it's hard to explain this, but it's reasonable to reject the confession, after all, that boy has a criminal record."
"So you also think that she actually still has some feelings for that boy?"
Chu Lan grasped this point in Shen Wan's words, and his eyes lit up slightly.
“I think there is.”
Shen Wan thought for a while and said, judging from the development of the story before, there must be some lingering feelings.
"Then as long as you persist, you will succeed, right?"
"That's right...but why are you so happy, Chu Lan?"
Shen Wan looked puzzled.
"Yes?"
Chu Lan had a calm expression and sat up straight.
The atmosphere between them in the afternoon was so good, so she must have some feelings for him.
"Not necessarily..."
Shen Wan hesitated for a moment, and Chu Lan was immediately worried again.
"Maybe what?"
"Didn't you say before that there was someone else pursuing that girl?"
"Yes, that girl is very good."
"The situation is different. If there is someone who has never hurt her and cares for her, maybe it will work. And if she is so outstanding, she should be surrounded by outstanding people."
Chu Lan felt that his mood, which had just been encouraged, immediately returned to its low point.
“But…”
Chu Lan looked at Shen Wan with a death stare.
Dear classmate, could you please not be so tortuous in your speech?
"According to the general development routine of the story, the heroine usually can't let go of the hero, and the caring second male lead is always a backup. But the reality is probably not so bloody. Well, in the end it depends on what the heroine thinks. If the hero wants to be moved, he should be sincere."
As soon as Shen Wan finished speaking, the bell for the evening self-study class rang.
Chu Lan looked behind him. The crowd blocked his view and he could only see a part of Bai Xiyue's sleeve.
What does she think?
What could Bai Xiyue think? The more sad Chu Lan was, the happier she felt.
Shen Wan is simply her little cutie, always able to help Chu Lan so accurately and without error.
In fact, what Shen Wan said was right. If it was the original owner standing here, he would probably still be attracted to Chu Lan like a moth to a flame.
But if the original owner was here, he probably wouldn't have attracted Chu Lan's attention.
Bai Xiyue's words were just a rather cold statement. That unfortunate girl covered in thorns had died forever on that winter night.
Even the second male lead that Shen Wan mentioned is not a good person.
During the break, Qiao Song came over and asked Bai Xiyue to go clubbing in the evening.
What surprised Bai Xiyue was that it was Da Qiao who said this.
Seeing Bai Xiyue's strange look, Qiao Song pushed his glasses and blushed slightly.
This idea was of course proposed by the secondary personality, who said that if there was no opportunity, one had to create opportunities to actively output. The secondary personality originally wanted to say it by himself, but was stopped by Qiao Song.
He didn't want Bai Xiyue's gaze to only stay on his other self.
He also wanted Bai Xiyue to pay more attention to him.
He likes things just as much as his secondary personality, and is even more serious about them.
It’s just…it’s just that his personality might not be what girls like.
So Qiao Song wanted to try to change a little and let Bai Xiyue get to know a different side of herself.
The voice in his heart was sneering, but Qiao Song didn't care and stared at Bai Xiyue.
"OK."
Bai Xiyue readily agreed, but it was just a matter of time for Chu Lan.
After the evening self-study class, Chu Lan was still ready to send Bai Xiyue home, but Bai Xiyue shook her head and refused.
"You don't have to be so polite."
Chu Lan wanted to explain, but then he heard Bai Xiyue's next words.
"If that person sees me again and goes crazy, I won't be able to explain it clearly."
Bai Xiyue spread her hands, put her books away, and walked out of the classroom.
Chu Lan stood there in silence and was patted on the shoulder by Shen Wan.
"Didn't you say you were going to send Xiyue back? Why are you standing here like an idiot?"
"She was worried about her family seeing it."
Chu Lan felt distressed when he thought about the situation at Bai Xiyue's home.
"That's easy. Follow me."
Shen Wan waved and trotted out to catch up with Bai Xiyue.
"Xiyue, I'm going home with you."
"Yeah, okay."
Bai Xiyue lived not too far from the school, so Shen Wan had to take the same road she took to go home.
"Chu Lan, let's go together."
Shen Wan waved and gave Chu Lan a look.
She is such a clever girl. If three of them walk together, she won’t think anything is a big deal even if they are seen.
When they were walking side by side, Shen Wan deliberately walked in the innermost part, letting Chu Lan and Bai Xiyue stand together. It can be said that he spared no effort to go further and further on the road of assisting.
Bai Xiyue communicated with Chu Lanling the whole time, and talked and laughed with Shen Wan.
Shen Wan was attracted by Bai Xiyue's topic and forgot about Chu Lan.
Chu Lan didn't feel awkward and walked quietly beside Bai Xiyue, even though he didn't say a word all the way.
Bai Xiyue arrived home, waved to Shen Wan and Chu Lan, and turned into the road leading to her home.
Under the street light, she saw Wei Changxi with some surprise.
Although we haven't seen each other for only a few days, Wei Changxi seems to have changed a lot.
He was not wearing a school uniform, his hair seemed to have grown longer, and he looked a little more mature.
"Why are you here?"
Bai Xiyue greeted him and asked for the reason.
"I have passed the training and plan to join the club for formal training and running-in. Before I leave, I want to come and see you."
You can't just play in a professional game. Before the assessment, Wei Changxi trained for a long time, and the captain who took a liking to him helped him a lot.
Originally, Wei Changxi could only be a backup. After all, the team had already established a tacit understanding and had its own clear position. Unless there were some special circumstances or he was even more outstanding, it would be difficult for him to get to the top.
But the captain switched to a new club and needed to form a new team. The club was in need of people right now, and he went at the right time. If he had gone a step earlier or later, it might not have worked.
The captain said that he came at the right time, and only he knew who helped him seize this opportunity.
He looked at Bai Xiyue in the light of the lamp. She still looked the same as when they separated, but now she was even better. She was beautiful, confident, and fascinating.
He thought that when he saw Bai Xiyue again, he would feel more resentment than happiness. After all, every time he thought of Bai Xiyue, he wanted to take out her heart and see it, and he also wanted to hug her and ask her to come back. But when he actually saw her, it was not like that.
Only a hopeful relationship can cheer people up and pursue it, but Wei Changxi knew that there was no possibility between them. That was what Bai Xiyue's eyes told her.
他今天特地收拾了一下自己，讓自己看起來很好，他想站在白西月的面前用一種十分酷的姿态告訴她，他打算離開了，他現在過得很好。
可所有的心理建設在看見這個人的時候卻土崩瓦解了，衛長曦不知道自己是怎麽說出的那句話，滿心的酸楚。
“不繼續上學了嗎？”
“現在學不進去。”
想要好好學習撿起來那些東西，并沒有他想的那麽輕松容易，幾乎喘不過氣，就算竭盡全力，好像也沒辦法理解透那些難題。
而自己喜歡的一條道路擺在了他的面前，他當然毫不猶豫的選擇去走這條路，盡管知道這條路沒有那麽好走。
“你問過我想過未來嗎，而我現在正在朝着我的未來走着。”
“那祝你一路順風。”
白西月的影子被燈光拉長，她的聲音平靜，似乎他們從未有過愛恨糾葛。
“臨走之前，可以最後抱一下嗎？”
衛長曦看着白西月，聲音甚至帶着些懇求的意味。
“等你找到你值得的那個人，再和她擁抱吧。”
“我始終相信你的能力，衛長曦，就像我那天對你說過的那樣，祝你前程似錦。”
祝你前程似錦，與我兩清。
衛長曦沒等來自己要的那個擁抱，看着白西月走遠。
心裏似乎破了一個窟窿，這冬夜的風呼呼的往裏灌，冷極了。
白西月知道衛長曦只是想要一個鼓勵，并沒有太多的意思。
但是白西月不能給他這個擁抱，如果他給了，那麽對于衛長曦來說，這一切似乎就畫上了一個圓滿的句號了。
這不行，她就要讓這個遺憾留着，留在衛長曦的心裏，像是一個間隔的逗號，她要讓衛長曦始終記得，直到他找到那個他能夠認真的人，再來畫上這個句號。
那才是圓滿。
而在那之前，她要讓衛長曦記得她，記得她說過的話。
如果不是喜歡一個人，那就不要輕易的答應她，如果真心的喜歡一個人，那麽一定要及時的告訴她。
衛長曦在白西月家樓底下待到手腳都冰涼麻木，手機響起的鈴聲才讓他仿佛如夢初醒。
媽媽在那邊問他什麽時候回家，已經很晚了，衛長曦啞着聲音說自己馬上到家了，看了一眼白西月離開的方向，轉身步伐有些遲緩的離開。
在這一段似是而非的感情裏，好像也只有他自己一個人沉迷，一個人高興，一個人悲傷。
好像也只有他自己知道，他得到了什麽，又失去了什麽。
白西月打開家門的時候，家裏燈是暗着的。
她開了燈，家裏還是之前那副一片狼藉的樣子，沒有人收拾過。
她轉了一圈，發現那阿姨不在家。
她也不在意人去哪兒了，關上了房門，打算洗個澡換了一身衣服，等着喬宋的邀約。
喬宋不能那麽快就出門，他得自己先讓父母以為自己睡着了，然後把房門反鎖從窗戶那裏出來，所以得等上一段時間。
她剛進浴室的時候，系統就告訴她，褚瀾那邊出事了。
白西月一驚，回了房間準備聽轉播。
褚瀾剛到家換好了鞋子，看見他爸媽坐在沙發上，茶幾上還放着他的手機。
褚瀾心裏微驚，但是想想自己應該沒有留下來什麽證據，所以看起來依舊很鎮定。
“過來。”
褚瀾走了過去，聽見了他爸的一聲怒喝。
“給我跪下，不孝子。”
褚瀾沒跪，只是直直的看着自己的父親。
“翅膀硬了是吧，我說的話你也不聽了？”
“我只是想知道理由，我做錯了什麽？”
褚瀾的身體緊繃，有些厭倦這樣的家庭教育方式。
每次做錯了什麽或者不符合他們的心意，他們從不開門見山，只是讓自己去想，要不罰站要不罰跪，褚瀾長大之後就很少被罰了。
褚瀾忽的響起白西月之前說他自以為是，總以為自己很了解別人，這樣看來，自己的父母不也是如此。
“你說說你做錯了什麽？這照片哪來的？”
桌上擺着的手機被打開，跳出來的那張照片，無疑就是他删的那張。
褚瀾的臉色一變，将手機拿了過來。
褚父看見他的動作更氣，說了許多訓斥的話。
昨天他回來的時候妻子和他說了這件事情，還說了他可能是把什麽東西删掉了，他就弄了照片找回的那種東西，看到了這一張照片，當時氣得差點摔了手機。
“兒女情長是你現在應該做的事情嗎？你要談戀愛你去大學談，我保證不攔着你，你現在高三了啊，你想沒想過沒考好會怎麽樣？人生一敗塗地，別人會怎麽說我們，怎麽看我們？”
那些話褚瀾通通沒有聽進去，只是捏着手裏的手機。
耳邊的喋喋不休讓他很疲憊，只想時間回到那個下午，毫無負擔的輕松快活。
可是他只能面對這一切，他握着手機，忽然露出了個冷笑。
“說夠了嗎？”
褚瀾直面父親的眼睛，面上沒有太多的波瀾。
“這是我的事情，我自己有打算。”
“你有打算？你懂什麽？讀了幾本書就以為自己很了不起了嗎？”
“那你想怎麽樣？”
“這女孩是誰？和你一個學校的嗎？幾班的？如果是一個班立馬給我換班。”
“別這樣，他在志遠班你讓他換去哪兒。”
褚母扯了一下丈夫的袖子，示意他不要太沖動了。
“你也別這麽大火啊，那個姑娘是不是你們班上次第一名那個，哎呀，老褚你坐下來坐下來，幹嘛這麽兇兒子。”
褚母本來也是覺得兒子這樣太過分了的，但是父子這樣的場面，她又不想要看見，連忙打圓場。
“兒子啊，你就聽我和你爸的，以後別和這女孩子來往就行了，你們現在還小呢，等高考完再談朋友也是可以的嘛。”
褚瀾沉默不語，事實上他都沒有信心，可以再一次擁抱那個人。
這部家庭劇，白西月看的有些累，讓系統不用繼續給自己轉播，用水洗了個臉。
其實這也是非常正常的國內家庭了吧，但有些矯枉過正，聽說小孩早戀就雞飛狗跳的。
她有自信褚瀾能夠為了她頂住家庭的壓力，倒不是有多麽的誇贊褚瀾，也不是誇贊他們之前似是而非的情感，而是褚瀾對她有感覺，她救了褚瀾，她讓褚瀾覺得生活很快樂。
褚瀾的家庭給他的壓力非常大，也就是這種令人喘不過氣的重壓，會讓褚瀾覺得那種輕松快樂的時間，是有多麽的彌足珍貴。
而在他經歷生死的時候，那種心裏的懷疑和芥蒂以及諸般考慮，都已經消失了。
他不會再想他們之間是否應該糾纏，也不會再有一個明确的時間節點要分開。
感情就是這麽奇怪的東西，在生死面前，很多東西都會消弭。
白西月看着鏡子裏眉眼冷漠的自己，啧的輕笑了一聲。
她在他的心裏份量越重，他就會越痛。
如白西月所想的一樣，褚瀾和父母爆發了争吵。
其實也只是父親單方面的吼叫，褚瀾從頭到尾都很克制自己的情緒，只是清晰的表達着自己的想法。
不換班，不轉學，不松手。
其實這樣太過剛直，過剛易折，只會讓父母的反彈更加厲害。
母親在旁邊低聲讓他不要再頂嘴了，褚瀾卻站的很直，堅持着自己的想法，他知道婉轉會讓情況很好，但是他不想僞裝。
看着父親氣急敗壞的臉龐，褚瀾心裏居然有了一絲快感。
他總是命令式的告訴他什麽應當什麽不應當，可是他覺得他有自己的判斷能力。
如果這次抓不住的話，可能永遠也抓不住了。
白西月不喜歡他，他知道，但是沒關系，只要她還對他有一點點感覺，那就還有繼續下去的可能，但是如果就這麽分開了，他沒有靠近的機會了，可能就再也沒有了。
褚母不想把事情弄得沒辦法回轉，直接讓褚瀾回了房間，自己則是把丈夫拉扯進了卧室，開始談話。
褚瀾看着手機的那張照片，慢慢地心情又平靜了。
他照常的洗漱，母親端了一杯牛奶進來，讓他喝了睡覺。
母親仍然是那個意思，談朋友等高考結束之後再談。
她的心思總是比丈夫細膩些的，覺得小孩現在可能是叛逆期，越是說的難聽可能反彈的越嚴重，本來可能沒有多麽深的感情，棒打鴛鴦之後，反而顯得情深義重了。
那照片上的姑娘模樣的确很好看，學習也好，她其實是很滿意的。
如果能夠一起進步，那當然更好。
褚瀾也沒想到，母親會如此溫和的對他說這些話。
他原本以為自己贏來的只會是怒斥，像往日一樣。
母親看他的眼神就像是看一個不懂事的孩子，終究不是他想要的那個意思。
但褚瀾卻意外的想要傾訴，哪怕得不到回應。
她不喜歡我，褚瀾如是說。
褚母瞪大了眼睛，像是有些不可置信。
“怎麽會有人不喜歡我兒子！”
她看似是驚訝這個，其實心裏沉沉卻并不為此。
It was because of the expression on Chu Lan's face. She had never seen her child so fragile. It was like the moonlight shining on a dusty wall, with a sense of fragility and fragility.
Chu Lan took a sip of the warm milk, and the taste in his mouth became a little bitter.
He didn't dare and couldn't tell her everything, he could only say, she didn't like me.
After he finished speaking, there was a long silence.
"Go to sleep. Apologize to your father tomorrow. As for that girl...she doesn't like you. Forget it. You will meet many more people like her in the future."
Chu Lan didn't respond, as if he had heard it.
But did they really listen? How is that possible?
Chu Lan finished his milk and turned off the light.
He said that he wanted to stay away from her.
The person Chu Lan was worried about had already left the house. Bai Xiyue met up with Qiao Song not far from home and asked Qiao Song to take her to her destination.
Qiao Song was not wearing glasses and was smiling brightly in the winter night.
The reason for the invitation was, of course, to invite Bai Xiyue to visit his world.
His world has nothing to do with the main character.
The noise in the bar was a bit noisy, and the electronic music penetrated into the ears, making people unable to help but twist to the beat.
"Have you been here before?"
Qiao Song felt that Bai Xiyue might have been here before. After all, she was a well-known bad boy at that time, but he couldn't be 100% sure.
"Of course."
Bai Xiyue smiled and took off her cotton padded jacket in the heating.
She was not wearing any makeup, and looked completely different from the other visitors; she seemed clean and pretty, but when she smiled, she inexplicably exuded a kind of evil and indescribable charm.
Qiao Song was impressed by her.
People who knew each other came over to greet Qiao Song, most of them were young boys and girls full of youth. When some of them saw Bai Xiyue, their eyes widened.
"Beautiful flowers have owners, so don't look at them carelessly."
It is immoral to peek at flowers through the wall.
Bai Xiyue didn't refute and put her hand on Qiao Song's arm.
Qiao Song felt a little tipsy. He seemed drunk even before he started drinking.
The author has something to say: I threw it into the manuscript box and forgot to set the time [crying]
The world is ending
To reply, I didn't mean to drag it out on purpose, I just wanted to finish the story. It may seem a bit dragged out, but I'm not writing the kind of stereotypical scumbag stories. Although this may not produce good results, I still have to finish it.
