Spread joy in the arms of the cold male god

Chapter 23 Can You Pick Me Up?

The tide of sadness was about to overwhelm her, she was like a drowning person desperately trying to hold on to the floating board, longing for someone to rescue her in the dark.

So, she took out her mobile phone and called Lu Jingyan.

For her, he is her salvation.

Soon, the phone was picked up, and his hoarse voice came from the other end, "Child, are you out of school?"

His cold voice finally woke up Song Xiaolin, who was unable to extricate himself from the sadness, and realized his gaffe, and hurriedly adjusted his mood: "I... I'm going to leave school soon."

"At school, are you okay?"

Not good, very bad.

She was crying, but responded with a smile: "Well, it's good." She wiped away her tears, looked up at the lush green branches and leaves outside the window, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, "Lu Jingyan, can you come pick me up?" ?”

"um, I……"

His voice stopped suddenly, and another female voice rang out, but he didn't know what he said, it was very vague, and he couldn't hear clearly, only a name - Zhang Xiaonian was faintly heard.

Zhang Xiaonian?
is her!

What came to mind was Zhang Xiaonian's beautiful face, her floral dress, high heels, and...that outstanding temperament.

Suddenly, it seemed that a bolt of lightning struck Song Xiaolin's heart, making her panic.

"Lu Jingyan..."

"I'm sorry, kid, I have something to do and I can't pick you up."

It is obviously a very light sentence, but it is like a cold wind in winter, no matter how gentle it is, it is biting.

What he said is that I can't pick you up, not that I won't pick you up.

Therefore, he originally wanted to come to pick her up, but because of Zhang Xiaonian, he couldn't come to pick her up.

Among the two, he chose Zhang Xiaonian.

It turned out that she was not more important than Zhang Xiaonian in his heart.

But he has known her for 11 years, and he has only known Zhang Xiaonian for a few years!

11 years, not worth a few years.

All of this made her collapse, but the inferiority complex buried in her bones made her dare not act recklessly, so she asked without giving up: "Lu Jingyan, it doesn't matter if you don't come to pick me up, can I go find you?"

After a long time, Lu Jingyan seemed a little embarrassed, "Son, I'll ask Uncle Chen to pick you up now, okay?"

got rejected.

For the first time, he rejected her.

Stubborn as Song Xiaolin, she absolutely does not want to be a pestering dog anymore. Her low self-esteem, sensitivity, and worry, which were carefully hidden by her, are like thorns one after another, piercing deeply into her heart. A hedgehog is also a cactus, which cannot be approached or held in the palm of others.

But she...was in pain too.

In an instant, tears were like a flood breaking a bank, and her eyes were red from crying, but in the end she just smiled and said: "No need, I will go to my classmate's house, and I will go back after the party."

"Okay, be careful on the road, don't go home too late."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, she finally cried softly.

Now, Song Xiaolin's only consolation is the pine nut cakes from Grandma Wang's house in the Southwest Alley.

Grandma Wang was still the same as before, asking her kindly: "Little girl, how many do you want?"

She blurted out: "Two." But thinking that Lu Jingyan might not be returning home so soon, she changed it to one.

"Little girl, did you hurt your forehead?"

"Ah? Grandma, will it be obvious?" She gently tore her hair to cover her forehead.

"Yeah, it's all red, right, Nizi, your eyes are also very red, are you crying?" Grandma Wang still remembered her, "Do you miss your grandma again?"

When he heard the word grandma, Song Xiaolin choked up and nodded, "Well, I miss grandma."

"Come on, try fried chestnuts in sugar." Grandma Wang took out a bag from the cabinet and handed it to her, then touched her head affectionately, "You, don't be polite to me."

Rarely, she was warmed to the tip of her heart.

"Thank you, grandma." She ate a chestnut fried in sugar, and the sweetness spread in her mouth instantly, dispelling the haze of the day.

Grandma Wang smiled: "I'm also very happy that you can come here often, just like meeting my granddaughter."

By the way, Grandma Wang once said that her eyebrows and eyes are very much like her granddaughter.

"Grandma, what about your granddaughter? Didn't she come to see you?" The sweetness on the tip of the tongue gradually faded away.

Grandma Wang shook her head: "My Lingling, I don't want to be in Beicheng."

"Oh…"

Song Xiaolin lowered her head, this is really a sad topic, she blinked her eyes, "Grandma, I will come here often in the future."

"Okay." Grandma Wang laughed so hard that her creases wrinkled.

After a while, I left the Southwest Alley, and the evening sun dyed the whole sky red.

A cake shop opened next to it, and as soon as I approached, there was a strong fragrance.

When she was about to open the door and enter, a girl came out head-on, holding a bag and a paper bag in her hand.

A little familiar.

Ah, she remembered, she met Lu Jingyan's classmate in the laboratory of the School of Physics, Nantah University.

Song Xiaolin's eyes followed him unconsciously, but suddenly he saw an extremely familiar figure.

The white shirt, black trousers, and the beautiful curve of the side face are hidden under the cold light of the cafe, which makes it look a bit cold and a little alienated.

Although she couldn't see his face clearly, for some people, you could tell who he was from the strands of his hair.

Lu Jingyan.

He is Lu Jingyan.

The girl next to him is... Zhang Xiaonian!

With the scene in front of her, she doesn't need to say anything more, she should know that they are in a relationship.

In fact, during that phone call, Song Xiaolin had already more or less guessed it, but when he witnessed all this with his own eyes, he still felt that his heart was so painful, like a sharp cone piercing his heart so hard that his internal organs were so painful. Then it broke.

Compared to him, the injury that was isolated in school today was like the feeling of drizzle falling on the hands.

Her whole life is for Lu Jingyan.

Since the age of six, she has been by his side, wherever he goes, she will go.

He is her heaven and her land.

Now, her world has completely collapsed once again.

, Bai Yueguang lived in his heart; at the age of 22, someone else lived in his eyes again.

But she still couldn't keep his gaze.

Yes, five years behind.

But what she missed was his five years.

She once read a sentence in a book——

Secret love is a person's chaos, and it is also a person's spring, summer, autumn and winter.

She felt as sad as she felt.

The glaciers in the North Pole cannot melt into the desert, just like Song Xiaolin's love for Lu Jingyan, no one will ever know.

Because of the love that cannot be seen, it can only rot in the soil and be forgotten in the gully of time.

She no longer... sees hope.

There are people coming and going on the street, but Song Xiaolin is still standing there for a long time, until the twilight is gone, the neon lights in the distance are dazzlingly bright, the traffic on both sides is endless, and the horns are constantly sounding. It began to rain lightly.
