Chapter 168 Shen Xichuan discovered the secret that had been hidden for ten years
In the bathroom.
The sound of water dripping.
Water splashed on the floor.
Xu Jialan lowered his eyes and saw the silver object in the man's hand, and his head was stunned.
She wanted to cry but had no tears, "Shen Xichuan, why is there still..."
Shen Xichuan wiped the water from his hands before tearing it open.
"Yeah, I prepared it."
Xu Jialan: "..."
The man hugged her from behind.
He whispered, "Now is not the time."
Xu Jialan was in a daze and didn't hear clearly.
Until the daybreak.
Only then did Shen Xichuan come out of the bathroom holding Xu Jialan.
She closed her eyes tightly and lay on the man's shoulder.
Even the sound of the hairdryer couldn't wake her up.
Shen Xichuan skillfully changed her into comfortable and warm pajamas and covered her with a quilt.
Then start cleaning up the mess in the bedroom.
Xu Jialan was sleeping soundly.
Shen Xichuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead before walking out of the bedroom.
The living room was also in chaos.
The sofa is even more unbearable to watch.
Shen Xichuan glanced around and picked up the coat thrown on the ground.
The sofa cover was also taken away and stuffed into the washing machine.
After cleaning up, Shen Xichuan did not return to the bedroom immediately.
He stood on the balcony and enjoyed the breeze for a while.
At this moment, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to smoke.
The man paused, then turned and went to the study.
He went to the desk and opened the drawer.
I was just about to take out the cigarette box and lighter he had placed inside.
But at this moment, he saw something else.
Shen Xichuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He reached out and took out the tin box he had never seen before.
The box is very light in weight.
There seemed to be nothing.
But I could vaguely hear some noise inside.
And at the bottom of the box was the cigarette box he had put in.
However, Shen Xichuan’s attention was all on this tin box at this time.
He had an inexplicable intuition in his heart.
The things in the box are related to him.
The man pulled out a chair and sat down.
He looked down at the box.
After a long while, he carefully opened the box.
Revealing the true face inside.
A box full of paper cranes.
Shen Xichuan raised his eyes slightly.
He and Xu Jialan were the only ones in the apartment.
This box is placed in the study.
If it wasn't him, then it could only be Xu Jialan.
At this moment, Shen Xichuan thought that this was a surprise that Xu Jialan had secretly prepared for him.
He chuckled, picked up a paper crane at random, and tapped it with his fingertips.
"How come I'm as cute as you? Huh?"
Shen Xichuan’s expression paused.
The paper crane looked as if it had been taken apart and folded back together.
Under the light, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be something inside.
Shen Xichuan paused for a few seconds, then carefully unwrapped the paper crane.
When he saw the contents of the paper crane, he was stunned.
My mind went blank in an instant.
It's like I've lost the ability to think.
He had seen the words written by the current Xu Jialan.
Compared to his previous handsome appearance, he now looks more sharp and mature.
And the words on the origami were obviously not written by the current Xu Jialan.
That can only be...
Shen Xichuan lowered his gaze to look at the remaining paper cranes.
He was silent for a few seconds, then picked up another one and continued to unwrap it.
[January 2014.]
If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone to the rooftop to cry.
It was really ugly at that time.
Do you feel the same way?
How embarrassing, Shen Xichuan. 】
When he saw this origami, Shen Xichuan couldn’t help but recall the scene at that time in his mind.
His Adam's apple moved, but he didn't say anything.
Continue to remove one.
[February 2014.]
Shen Xichuan, happy New Year's Eve!
Did you see the fireworks today?
It’s really beautiful. 】
[September 2014.]
Shen Xichuan is in his second year of high school.
Fortunately, I also chose science.
Fortunately, we are still classmates. 】
[March 2015.]
School starts again. I wish I could muster up the courage to look you in the eye.
Your eyes are very beautiful. 】
[April 2015.
Happy birthday, Shen Xichuan! 】
[June 2015.]
Summer vacation is coming soon.
It suddenly occurred to me that I wouldn't be able to see you for the next two months.
I'm a little unhappy.
[August 2015.]
Is God afraid of me nagging him every day?
I actually saw you in the supermarket today.
But you certainly didn't see me.
You still like drinking Coke so much.
Me too.
Meeting you is the best birthday gift I received today. 】
[September 2015.]
School has started, Shen Xichuan.
It's the last year now. Will we meet again after graduation? 】
[October 2015.]
I became a disciple today, but heard some unpleasant things.
I was a little sad, so I went to eat hotpot alone.
Shen Xichuan, why do you like spicy food so much?
I tried it too, it was spicy but refreshing.
Because then no one would know that I was crying because I was sad. 】
[December 2015.]
There is still one semester left.
Happy New Year, Shen Xichuan. 】
[January 2015.]
So this is what tiramisu tastes like.
Do you like tiramisu? 】
…
[May 2016.]
The first photo with you. 】
[June 2016.]
Happy graduation, Shen Xichuan.
I like you. 】
Shen Xichuan held a piece of origami in his hand, shielding his eyes with the back of his other hand, and leaned back in his chair.
On the table were piles of unpacked paper cranes.
That was his wife's youth.
It is also the secret he missed in his youth.
There were some details that he overlooked.
It surfaced little by little.
Why there is never a shortage of Coke in the refrigerator at Xinghu Bay.
Why was she so surprised when she saw the tiramisu when they first met?
Why do hot pots taste so similar every time we eat them?
Why did she cry after hearing him say that in the ward?
…
There are many more.
Those things that he thought were coincidences and tacit understanding.
It was all just her unintentional compliance.
A tear silently rolled down the man's eye.
He pursed his lips, smoothed out each piece of origami, and put it back into the box.
Then put the lid on.
The man pressed his palm on the iron lid and was silent for a while before he stood up and left the study.
He returned to the bedroom.
Xu Jialan was still sleeping soundly.
The man moved gently and lay down beside her.
Xu Jialan habitually snuggled into his arms, her slender arms hugging his waist.
Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in his arms.
He gently stroked her face with his palm.
There is deep love and heartache in his eyes.
Xu Jialan opened his eyes slightly.
She said in a muffled voice, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Shen Xichuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead devoutly.
Warm lips pressed against her forehead.
He said, “I can’t sleep.”
