Licheng Twilight

Chapter 33

Lin Xichen stood in front of the window, standing motionless for an unknown amount of time.The sun lightly cast his shadow obliquely on the floor, and the position of his fingers happened to be on the desk. The usually messy desk was tidied up, and there was a white envelope in the middle, postmarked by the China Volunteer Association.

It's finally this day, he smiled, turned around and picked up the envelope, after thinking about it, it was indeed time.

But before that, there is one more thing that must be done.

The schedule was very tight, there was only one week from receiving the notice to leaving, and Lin Xichen went through all the procedures by himself, including the procedure of withdrawing from school, of course.

Until the day before leaving, he went to University A.

It was already night at that time, Ye Tianqing came down from the dormitory in a hurry after receiving his call, she was in a hurry, her wet hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and she ran towards him panting slightly.

Lin Xichen leaned against the sycamore tree, and the sycamore flowers scattered along the breeze, and the faint fragrance permeated the air, making people slightly intoxicated.

"Ye Tianqing," he called her by first and last name as soon as he opened his mouth, his expression was very solemn but his tone was gentle.

"Ah?" Ye Tianqing didn't react all of a sudden, and looked up at him suspiciously, why did this kid feel weird today.

He clenched his fist and then loosened it and then clenched it tightly again, repeating this several times, "I like you."

She was stunned, but only for a few seconds, "I know," she smiled brightly, "I always knew."

"You don't know, you don't know anything," he became excited, grabbing her shoulders with both hands uncontrollably, "My liking is not what you imagine a younger brother likes a sister, but a boy's love for a girl I like it! I want to be with you, I want to take care of you for the rest of my life, I want you to like me."

"Why do you always treat me like a child? Why don't you give me a fair chance? Why don't you ever take a good look at me? Look at me, look at me, I've grown up , I can protect you, and I can do what others can do for you, why can't you be fair to me?"

At the end of his speech, his voice was a little choked up, but he still stubbornly continued to speak word by word. He was unwilling, really unwilling, and if he didn't speak clearly, he might really have no chance.

But she didn't say a word, she just quietly waited for him to finish before speaking, with a slight smile on her face, "Our Chen has indeed grown up," she raised her hand above his head, childishly Comparing his height, "Well, they are half a head taller than me now."

He didn't know what she wanted to say, and looked at her face hesitantly.

"Ah Chen, I really know, I have always known," she fell into the memory, "When I was in high school, I was so busy that I often forgot to eat at noon, and it was you who secretly stuffed chocolates into my desk every day, right? Once a boy said bad things about me in class, but the next day he was beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face. You did it, right? I was sick and dared not tell my grandpa to get an IV alone. He stayed with me for a night in the hospital for the second day It was you who disappeared secretly, right? I know all these things, and I am really touched, but the better you treat me, the more uneasy I feel, and I will uncontrollably think about how to pay you back , I can’t give you what you want, and you don’t need the rest at all.” She sighed and took a step back, “I’m three years older than you, maybe it’s nothing in your eyes, but I I want to tell you that age is not just a number, it also represents a person's experience and thoughts, not to mention other things, if we are really together, then, have you ever thought about it?"

Although he didn't understand her intentions, he subconsciously followed her question and thought about it. In fact, he never thought about it, because when it was almost impossible to even start, how could he think so far? .

But before he could figure it out, Ye Tianqing had already answered for him, "Then, in order to adapt to my pace, you desperately want to grow up quickly, you will stop playing computer and basketball, and you will start doing things that surpass your peers." , slowly leave the circle that belongs to you, but is this kind of growth really growth? Is that kind of life really what you want? No, I understand you, you will not feel happy, you will only Feel tired, and more and more tired, in the end, separation will only be inevitable."

After she finished speaking, her clear eyes looked straight at him.

Lin Xichen was completely shocked by her words. Everything she said sounded reasonable and natural, and these were things he had never thought of. He couldn't think of anything to refute at the moment, but Can stand blankly.

"Of course, this is just a hypothesis." She returned to her naughty look, blinked her eyes, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "I have always regarded you as a younger brother, before and now, It will certainly be in the future.”

What else can he say, the self-righteous words are so pale at this moment, his so-called liking looks so naive and ridiculous in front of her, the fact is true, he is not as mature as her, there is no way to be like her Thinking so far, what she has to bear is not only her own life, but also her entire family. What she needs is someone who can take care of her, not someone who needs her to take care of her. .Such a self may only become her burden, how dare she say that she likes her, how dare she say that she takes care of her.

As if he had made up his mind, he bit his lower lip tightly and said word by word, "Sister Tianqing," he called her sister, this was the first time he called her that since high school, like a certain beginning, It seems to be a certain end, "I'm going to go to a small country in Southeast Asia, maybe two or three years, if, if you haven't found him when I come back, then please give me a chance, I'm going to show you that I can, I'm going to grow up to take care of you."

Ye Tianqing smiled helplessly, "Feelings should be left to chance, you can't force it. No one can predict the future, Ah Chen may meet someone somewhere, and then that person will change you. whole life."

I'm sorry, and thank you, I keep every bit of your kindness to me in my heart, but I can only wish you happiness selfishly.

Lin Xichen was most afraid of the parting scene, so he didn't tell anyone that he was leaving. Even his younger sister, Lin Lier, was kept in the dark. That silly girl, if she found out, she would definitely fall out.As for Mu Mu, he didn't know how to speak.

Nothing else matters, the only thing that worried him was Ye Tianche's illness. He was really scared. From childhood to adulthood, every time Ah Che entered the hospital, he felt that his life was shortened by several years. He didn't even dare to think about what to do if Ah Che was gone when he came back.It is precisely because of this that the matter of going abroad has been delayed again and again, and now it is time to delay it.

At the airport, the announcer urged the passengers to board the plane over and over again. Lin Xichen turned on and off the phone, turned on and off the phone, hesitating whether to send a message to the two of them, no matter what, it would be too much for the brothers to leave just like that. Not interesting enough.

While typing, the phone vibrated, it was a message.

It was from Ye Tianche, "Brother, do what you want, there is not much time to waste in life." At the end there was a pattern of high fives dancing happily, and he looked around for Ye Tianche almost reflexively. Tian Che's trace, he was sure that he was here, [-]%.

The phone in his hand vibrated again, and this time it was Ding Chuyi who sent it, "If you want to leave, just be quick, what kind of procrastination does it look like, Ah Che and Li'er will be fine with me here."

It turned out that they all knew, but without exception, they all chose to remain silent and bid farewell to each other in invisible places.

He waved his hand at the end, and he didn't know if they had seen it, and when he turned around, there was already a smile on his face, leaving behind a chic back.

Two days after Lin Xichen left, Mu Mu didn't know that he had escaped from the country. She was so angry that she refused to contact him for half a month. Every time Ye Tianche and Lin Xichen communicated via video or sent MSN, she must mention that Mu Mu was so angry that she told him not to come back, but Lin Li'er was so angry that she wanted to sever the brother-sister relationship with Lin Xichen. Lin Xichen couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to promise again and again that she would come back early to make amends to the two young ladies.

Ever since Ding Chuyi got angry with a fever in the rain last time, Mu Mu has always been cautious at home, and sometimes seized the opportunity to deliberately please Ding Chuyi, but unfortunately he didn't like this, and made Mu Mu Very hit.

Aunt Su thought it was funny watching the two brothers and sisters quarreling, and found an excuse to let the two of them get along with each other, "Oh, the rice at home is almost gone, girl, go to the supermarket with my brother to buy some."

Mu Mu nodded obediently, but Ding Chuyi said indifferently when she was about to get up, "Mom, I remember buying rice last week, why did it disappear so quickly?"

Aunt Su didn't change her face, "Oh, I don't think the rice is very good. I ate a few grains of sand yesterday."

Why did you eat the sand, "Then I'll go alone." He put down the magazine and made a gesture to go out.

Aunt Su stopped her, "No, you don't know how to choose, so you should bring the girl with you."

The two of them walked to the supermarket in silence. Mu Mu wanted to say something casually several times, but when he saw Ding Chuyi's paralyzed face, he could only swallow anything.

Walking to the daily ingredients area, Mu Mu deliberately picked some dishes that Ding Chuyi liked. She picked carefully, and naturally spent a lot of time. The [-]-year-old girl grabbed a handful of candies and ran over in a rampage. Mu Mu turned around without paying attention, and the little girl bumped into her leg, took a few steps back and fell to the ground, crying loudly.

Mu Mu panicked, and hurriedly bent down to help the little girl up, but the little girl lost her temper, waving her hands wildly and refusing to get up.

Mu Mu had no choice but to pick up the candies scattered on the ground first. The little girl thought she was going to grab her own candies, so she rushed forward and grabbed Mu Mu's hand and refused to let it go. She kept saying , "You bully me, I will tell my brother, I will tell my brother."

The little girl pouted, her wet eyelashes flickering like two small fans, and when she said the word brother, her proud expression was even more cute. Mu Mu became playful, imitating her tone and teasing her, saying, "So what if you have a brother, I'm not afraid of you. I also have a brother, and my brother is handsome and smart. Look, he's right there." After she finished speaking, she pointed behind her and saw Ding Chuyi also looking at her , laughing shoulder shaking non-stop.

This girl really lost to her.
