As the hot pot steamed, Lu Yulin and Lin Bai remained silent.

Only the rolling tripe told the passage of time.

Playing with the 28 sauce in the bowl, Lu Yulin raised his eyebrows and wanted to look at Lin Bai.

Only then did he regret that his eyes were blurry.

And Lin Bai noticed Lu Yulin's actions.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Bai asked in a low voice.

"Just a little uncomfortable." Lu Yulin continued to chew the small bowl.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Bai again: "Do you think this is called a broken heart?"

Although there was no sweat on his forehead, Lin Bai scratched his forehead subconsciously.

Looking at Lu Yulin's eyes, Lin Bai said a little helplessly: "Not really."

"Oh."

Lu Yulin hummed lightly, picked up a piece of tripe, covered it with 28 sauce and ate it.

"Old."

Lu Yulin frowned and chewed the tripe, just like chewing tire fragments.

Feeling the gloomy atmosphere emanating from Lu Yulin, Lin Bai was racking his brains to think of something to say.

Anything would be fine.

First, it would ease the awkward atmosphere at the moment.

Second, it would ease Lu Yulin's emotions.

From a friend's perspective, Lin Bai didn't want Lu Yulin to be immersed in such emotions all the time.

However, Lin Bai sadly discovered.

He had zero experience in this area.

He had never been in love, nor had any experience in consoling the object of confession.

Or, he didn't understand girls' psychology very well.

At this moment, Lu Yulin looked at the steaming hot pot mist, and the mist in his eyes became thicker and thicker.

If confession is a temporary emotional climax.

Then it was temporarily relieved.

At this moment, it was an emotional collapse after calming down.

When Lu Yulin took out the tissue for the third time and wiped his nose.

Lin Bai put down his chopsticks.

"Let me tell you a story."

Lin Bai looked at Lu Yulin seriously.

Even without glasses, Lu Yulin could see Lin Bai's upright figure, and wiped his nose and glasses curiously.

"What story?"

Lin Bai took a deep breath, drank a sip of watermelon juice, and said slowly.

"This is an unhappy story."

Lin Bai said.

Looking at Lu Yulin, Lin Bai began to create two characters like pouring beans.

Two childhood sweethearts, separated after graduating from high school, and then went to college in different places.

Then from intimate childhood sweethearts to relatively familiar friends.

"That was when they were 25 years old. Parents in small cities always seemed to worry that their children would not be able to start a family."

"They always took every opportunity to talk endlessly in their children's ears."

"And these words have only one purpose, which is to drive their children out, even if they only go home to rest for a while during holidays."

"The boy was fed up with these words and rushed out that night.

But when he was smoking downstairs, he met a girl with a similarly sad face.

They had the same worries.

That day, the boy smoked the last pack of cigarettes in his life and went upstairs."

Lin Bai paused and looked at Lu Yulin.

"That was a very important day. Didn't I say before that the two families had been trying to bring the two together intentionally or unintentionally a long time ago? But the two of them were actually firmly against the party and agreed to fight against the parents with the same blood."

"But that night, standing in the elevator."

"The girl frowned and said that his cigarette smelled bad."

"The boy looked at the girl, remembered his parents' nagging, and said, 'Why don't we make do with each other, we are all brothers'."

Looking at Lin Bai who fell into silence, Lu Yulin asked: "Then what?"

"Then, the girl nodded naturally and smoothly."

"The two of them got married in such a muddle."

Drinking watermelon juice, Lin Bai looked at Lu Yulin and told everything about his previous life in the form of a fictional story.

This was the first time he talked about this with someone.

Until the diners around him began to leave one after another, Lin Bai began to speed up his progress.

"So, in the end, they divorced."

After saying the last sentence, Lin Bai looked out the window, where the neon lights and car lights outside the window kept flashing.

Lu Yulin kept a proper silence.

"Is this a possibility between you and Su Yunxi in your fantasy?"

Lu Yulin asked.

Lin Bai did not deny it, but he did not confirm it either.

"I don't know, it's actually a dream."

Lin Bai shook his head.

"Why do you tell me this?" Lu Yulin asked back.

Lin Bai looked at the girl: "I don't know, I always feel it's very strange, so I want to find someone to tell it to."

Looking at Lu Yulin, Lin Bai thought for a while and said"Or, I actually want to tell you that life is full of possibilities. Maybe I am a time traveler, or an alien."

Laughing softly, she looked at Lu Yulin and said, "You are only nineteen years old. There is no need to be overly sad for a boy. When you are twenty-nine, you will only find it a little ridiculous."

Lu Yulin's mood has indeed improved at this moment: "Why are you talking so old-fashioned?"

"Maybe I think too much?"

Lin Bai curled his lips and said with a wry smile.

Lu Yulin held his chin and said, "But your fantasy is very specific, so it is very vivid."

"But you are so disgusting. You actually fantasized about such a plot behind your childhood sweetheart. Do you think you are writing a novel?"

Although Lu Yulin couldn't see Lin Bai clearly, he still glared at him.

Looking at Lin Bai pouring watermelon juice for himself, Lu Yulin waved his hand.

"I don't like the taste of watermelon."

As he said, Lu Yulin poured himself a cup of barley tea.

"But, I don't have the right to say anything about you."

Lu Yulin suddenly lowered his head and said: "I also had unrealistic fantasies about you. Why do people produce hormones? Why should I like you?"

"Why can't you like me?"

Lu Yulin looked at Lin Bai: "You actually like Su Yunxi, right?"

Faced with Lu Yulin's series of questions, Lin Bai didn't know how to answer.

Looking at Lu Yulin's face, Lin Bai was sure that the girl had at least walked out of her melancholy in some way.

Instead, she fell into a philosophical thinking about life and love.

However, Lin Bai really didn't know how to answer such a question.

Looking at the silent Lin Bai, Lu Yulin raised the corners of his mouth.

"But I'm still glad that you can tell me this. I guess you haven't told anyone else, right?"

Lin Bai shook his head.

Lu Yulin suddenly stretched out his hand, "So, as I said a long time ago, are we good friends who can talk about anything?"

Looking at Lu Yulin's outstretched hand, Lin Bai hesitated.

At this point, can we really still be friends?
