Chapter 264
In the private room with only two men, He Panshan put the bowl of fried rice with eggs into his mouth without any haste, while He Tianran, who was opposite him, was repeatedly scratching the golden rice in the bowl with a porcelain spoon. He took two or three mouthfuls of rice grains, then paused for a second or two, his cheeks kept agitating, and his mouth made subtle and frequent chewing sounds, but he often swallowed all the food in his mouth before he finished chewing.

He Panshan asked strangely: "You kid... Are you hungry?"

He Tianran didn't answer, he hastily finished the egg fried rice in the bowl, put down the bowl, took a sip of tea, calmed down, and said:
"I want to go back."

"Wait a minute, let's talk a few more words." He Panshan didn't let him go.

He Tianran was puzzled, but he also sat in his seat without moving.

The middle-aged man looked at his son carefully, and confirmed: "It seems that you are not hungry, but you are in a hurry. Are you so busy going back to see your two little lovers?"

He Tianran was taken aback, it was not the first time he had heard someone use the word "urgent" to describe his state...

Similar words, I heard it the night I went to meet Wen Liang's parents, and I heard it when I went to Hong Kong University to ask Cao Aiqing to have a dinner. Now, He Panshan also said this word to him.

It's okay to reveal these details once or twice, but everyone who is important to him mentions them repeatedly, which makes He Tianran have to carefully examine his current situation...

"Is...obvious?"

The boy raised his head and recalled these fragments, muttering softly.

He Panshan rubbed his chin with his fingers, he really couldn't figure out what his son was thinking, so he didn't answer this question directly, but asked:

"If I hadn't interrupted you just now, how are you going to answer Xiao Cao's question?"

He Ranran's head was still up, but he leaned weakly against the back of the chair, as if he was thinking and gave an answer:
"I'll be honest...but I'm probably...not ready to address the issue..."

He Tianran didn't hide it. Although he had always been estranged from He Panshan in the past, it may be because he is a blood relative, or it may be that they have similar shadows in each other. The boy vented in confusion:
"Dad, I really want to love someone sincerely, I don't know if this can be counted as 'knowing how to love', but whether it is Wen Liang or Ai Qing, they are both worthy of me.

However, I originally thought it was easy to be 'sincere' to people. I learned to be loyal to one's self to avoid the cunning of human nature, but I gradually discovered that telling the truth to people is not called sincerity; Being obedient and obedient to others cannot be regarded as sincerity, because before that, I seem to have to go through a lot of hardships and pains to achieve this pure state, which is so difficult..."

The memory of Wen Liang gradually dissipating has become a knot in He Tianran's heart, but he cannot let her stay in this reincarnation world forever for his own selfish desires. It is Wen Liang's regret and obsession that they are not together. To fulfill her wish, he will try his best to love her sincerely...

But to face sincerity means that all the pain will be on He Tianran alone...

Is this called "knowing how to love someone"?
He Tianran didn't know, he could only follow suit...

"Son..." He Panshan breathed a long sigh of relief in a low voice, and said with a warm smile, "it's dad who underestimated you...you are better than dad. If you think that way, you already know how to deal with it." I love someone..."

"……yes?"

"Yeah... At least your maturity is not the same as ours... And the most important point is that you haven't shrunk your conscience because of growth and difficulties, have you?"

……

……

When He Tianran returned to the original private room, only Cao Aiqing was left in the room.

The girl's back is so slender and exquisite, her jet-black long hair hangs down like a waterfall, just as pure and flawless as He Tianran peeked at in high school class back then, so that the boy just stood at the door so obsessively, distracted few seconds.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

He Tianran deliberately knocked on the opened door.

Cao Aiqing turned her head, followed He Tianran's footsteps, and landed on a seat not far from her.

"What about them?"

"We're full, Wen Liang and your mother are going to continue listening to the play."

"then you……"

"I won't go. I planned to wait another 5 minutes before leaving. You came back just in time."

Cao Aiqing glanced at the plain watch on her wrist, and responded calmly.

"Let's go? Ai Qing, I haven't answered the question you just asked me..."

Cao Aiqing shook her head slightly, and said, "No need, the person you love has already answered that question for you..." She hesitated slightly, her eyes were confused, but she continued: "Wen Liang's answer It is indeed compared to yours... Heh, it is much more detailed."

"What?" He Tianran was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What did Ah Liang tell you?"

"You know, go ask her. I don't think I need to tell you how much a woman loves you."

Cao Aiqing returned to normal, and He Ranran was embarrassed by the words of rejection.

"Then you are now..."

"Aunt asked me to say hello to you before leaving, so I stayed here."

"……I see."

Bai Wenyu gave Cao Aiqing and He Tianran some time to spend alone, but brought Wen Liang by his side to show their closeness. This arrangement really saved the two girls and He Tianran from a lot of embarrassment.

"He Tianran, you invited me over this time, and I have seen a lot of things. I even understand the saying 'a hateful person must have a pitiful place'. Such a dark and selfish personality is really not surprising at all, just want me to forgive you, these alone are not enough, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Facing Cao Aiqing's questioning, He Tianran blurted out:

"I need time, Ai Qing, please give me a little more time, I will definitely give you an explanation, then you can use any method to retaliate against me, you can ask me to do anything, I will not have any complaints, but I don't want you to live in hatred and shadows..."

"It's that sentence again..."

Cao Aiqing pondered for a while, she really couldn't figure out why He Tianran kept emphasizing this, it seemed that as long as he was given time, all grievances and grievances would disappear.

"He Tianran, what do you mean by asking me to give you time, do you want me not to appear in your world for the time being, and not to disturb your love with Wen Liang?"

Cao Aiqing quickly understood the meaning of this request, and repeated it in simpler and straightforward words.

He Tianran didn't dare to look at her expression, he lowered his head in shame, his brows trembled slightly, and he was struggling in his heart, but in the end, he said in a hoarse voice:
"……Yes."

Time passed by second by second, and Cao Aiqing's dreamlike ravings sounded in He Tianran's ears:

"I don't know……"

The boy raised his head, Cao Aiqing's eyes were bright and dark, and his expression was very complicated, obviously caught in the confusion of this request.

"...With the current relationship between you and Wen Liang, your relationship will only get deeper and better. You asked me to give you time and don't bother you. I understand, but what happens after I give you time? What can you solve? Your request, no matter how I hear it, sounds like you want me to know that you have the intention of repenting, but you are unwilling to let go of the things I hate and despise the most.

How should I evaluate your request?passionate?Or hypocrisy? "

"..."

He Ranran remained silent.

Cao Aiqing who couldn't wait for the answer suddenly had a self-deprecating smile on her face...

A girl who loves to eat sweets, but at this moment can show a bitter smile that others can see and feel in their hearts...

"I'm leaving……"

She stood up, and He Tianran also stood up with a face of embarrassment. Cao Aiqing bowed and took her bag, her long hair was hanging in front of her eyes, and she gently stroked it behind her ears with her hands.

She looked at him again who stood there, at a loss.

"Don't send me off?"

He Tianran trembled when he heard the words, and then nodded heavily:

"it is good."

The two walked through the twists and turns of the corridor of the clubhouse, and the melodious libretto in the courtyard at the other end was still in their ears. He Tianran followed Cao Aiqing silently until they reached the gate of the clubhouse, and Cao Aiqing didn't stop. Meaning, he suggested:

"I'll ask Uncle Hu to drive you..."

Cao Aiqing continued walking without looking back, just listening to her say:
"No, I'll take the subway back."

So, He Tianran still followed behind her.

It's getting dark.

Thick clouds held the sky low and moved as if they were rubbing against the roofs on both sides of the flagstone alley.

When the city lights come on, the clouds are stained with red or green, yellow or purple halos. They hang above the heads of the couple, like a deliberately arranged background cloth in a stage play.

"He Tianran..."

"Ok?"

"How does it feel to accept another self?"

The boy stopped walking, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the girl was not waiting for him.

He followed quickly, but when he was about to walk side by side with her, he couldn't help slowing down.

"...you will see some beautiful, grotesque and beautiful illusions that you are thinking about, and you will have the feeling of...a dream come true."

"yes……"

After leaving this alley, there is a street full of people, and the flow of cars and people around is like a noisy river.

The man and woman went upstream and arrived at the nearest subway station. Both of them stopped in tacit understanding.

"Okay, let's send it here..."

Cao Aiqing stepped up and boarded the escalator that kept going down. Before He Tianran's eyes, her back seemed to have turned into the sunset that was completely submerged at the moment. The faint light was covered by the sad night, and she was slowly falling towards the horizon. She was like this Leaving He Ranran's world bit by bit, wrapped in warm light and good memories, they left his world together.

Will she also see those hallucinations that she has been dreaming of, and will her dreams come true one day?

After all, Cao Aiqing didn't ask this question.

When the boy hugged the moon...

The sun must set.

The so-called giving a little time, in Cao Aiqing's view, this time is equivalent to a lifetime, almost equal to infinity...

Because in the eyes of people who don't know the truth, in Cao Aiqing's heart after listening to Wen Liang's narration of affection, He Tianran and Wen Liang will never be separated.

Of course the girl hated He Tianran and Wen Liang very much.

However, she doesn't hate that lovers can finally get married, because this is also a regret that happened to her...

In fact, no matter which world you are in, what the future holds...

That girl named Cao Aiqing is so kind...

This is the brilliance of humanity carved into her bones, no matter how many times she has experienced wind and rain, it has never been extinguished.
