The slow-paced and melancholy "Promise" by independent musician Sapientdream slowly played on the pillow, and the bright sunlight penetrated through the curtains and fell on the girl's face on the bed, like a cat's whiskers. . She breathed evenly, her fair skin reflecting the beauty of the sun, illuminating her equally beautiful snow-white neck and collarbones. Her arms hung by the bed, and the light penetrated the curtains and left imprints on them, with tiny fluff dotted on them. Golden and beautiful white.

Su Xiaoqiang woke up. In her dream, she seemed to be floating on a warm ocean. The music took her up from the sea, over the golden clouds, over the sky written by the grand sun, and finally rose from the dream to reality. . The snow-white eyelashes fluttered and opened. She saw that the boy she had met in her dream was sitting on the chair beside the bed. The light came in from behind him. Through the light, he lowered his head and was quietly talking. Looking at a book on his lap.

"Fortress Besieged" has a blue hard cover, with a maze-like circle surrounding the white title, and the author's name at the bottom.

The little goddess has not read this book. She vaguely remembers some famous quotes and dialogues in it. For example, it said that there are no accidents in the world, it is just necessity with makeup and a mask.

"It also said that love is mostly unsuccessful, either because of the boredom of finally getting married, or because of the sadness of not being able to finally get married." Lin Nian put down the book. He noticed that Su Xiaoqiang was awake, so he said, "Morning install."

"Good morning." Su Xiaoqiang said, and couldn't help but raise her arms to block the sunlight that hit her face after the boy opened the curtains.

When the white light turned from dazzling to soft and fell, the city emerged from the light. The glass-walled buildings reflected the fireworks in the world under the sun, and the blue clouds in the sky were washed with water.

Today's coastal city has a rare good weather, as if yesterday's ink and dullness in the sky were washed away by a rain, and flowed into the canals and merged into the sewers. The white paper should have been painted with a blue sky and white clouds. In this weather, even the seagulls that strayed into the city were praising the youth of the young people passing by.

"The weather is good today." Lin Nian said.

When he turned around, Su Xiaoqiang took her eyes back from the boy's side face. Only then did her somewhat hypoglycemic brain circuit realize what time it was and where she was. There was no doubt that she was in reality - because even in In her dream, she couldn't bear to have such an extravagant dream.

"Go and wash up, I've prepared breakfast."

Lin Nian stood up and walked out of the room. The blue books covered the chair, covering more than half of the pages. The white pages seemed to be exposed to the sun in the sun. When you smell it carefully, the air is filled with the smell of ink and the boy's leftovers. Lower taste.

It wasn't until the slight sound of the door closing that the girl completely returned to reality. She looked at the chair where the boy had sat and the book left behind. After a few seconds to recover, she was suddenly buried in the quilt, wrapping her hands around the quilt a little bit. The cotton wool inside gathered around the face, wrapping itself in warmth.

After a long while, when Lin Nian walked into the room with breakfast, Su Xiaoqiang had already finished washing and sat on the bed. Because his clothes were soaked in the rain and were not fully dried, Lin Nian took them away and hung them on the balcony when the sun came up. With today's situation, The temperature and light will dry it in about half an hour, which is just the time for breakfast and chit-chat.

"Drink milk to warm up first." Lin Nian handed her a glass of warm milk.

Su Xiaoqiang obediently took the milk. If her nanny was lucky enough to see this scene, she would probably pack fruits and gifts all night to go to Lin Nian's family for advice. The eldest daughter of the Su family is notoriously difficult to take care of. She especially hates eating breakfast and knocks on the door every time. She would suffer from hypoglycemia for a while even if she was told to eat. Although she would apologize to the nanny very understandingly afterwards, the anger she felt when she woke up at that time was not something that ordinary people could deal with.

"There are many choices for breakfast in the hotel. I only got some bacon, fried eggs and cheese bread." Lin Nian put the dinner plate on the bedside table, picked up the blue-covered book, crossed his legs and sat on the chair, carefully He watched her eating carefully, and from time to time he picked up a tissue and handed it to her to indicate that there was something near her mouth.

There was only the sound of chewing food in the room and no one spoke. Lin Nian just looked at her quietly. Under the sunlight, the girl on the bed seemed to be transparent, melting into the bright sunshine. Her fingers and skin were white. It's as red as an apple. I don't know if it's from the sun or if I accidentally got it.

The alarm rang again, and the phone screen showed half past eight. The song was still the same English song. It seemed that the little goddess liked the song to a certain extent, because no matter how long she left her favorite song on the alarm, It will make people feel psychologically disgusted, unless she really likes this piece of music. For some reason, certain lyrics, no matter how many times she listens to them, it feels like she is listening to herself and singing herself.

Lin Nian helped Su Xiaoqiang find the mobile phone beside the bed, turned off the alarm clock, and the screensaver was displayed on the screen. He took a look and found that the little goddess was secretly glancing at him while drinking milk, and noticed the look in his eyes. He quickly stared at the milk in the cup and almost spit out a few bubbles.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at taking care of people." After drinking the milk and breakfast, the little goddess couldn't help but whisper while the tableware was piled aside and she took the wet wipes to wipe the corners of her mouth and hands.

"The more people are cared for, the better they are at caring for others." Lin Young said in a low voice. He looked at the lock screen wallpaper on the phone screen for a while before turning off the phone. "When was the photo taken?"

"What? Oh, you mean the lock screen wallpaper." Su Xiaoqiang didn't recover at first, because according to her memory, every time she encountered such an embarrassing situation, the boy would cleverly avoid it. When people secretly breathe a sigh of relief, they feel as if they have lost a lot, but in the end more longing will emerge from their hearts. Not saying no will often make the person you have a crush have expectations for, even if the other person never said they agreed.

"During the sports meeting in the first half of the second semester of high school, you participated in the 5,000-meter long-distance race on behalf of the boys in our class."

"Oh, I remember."

With just a little reminder, Lin Nian flipped through the memory album to that dusty corner. He could remember many things, but he only recalled those memories when needed.

For example, in that sports meeting, the girls' side sent Chen Wenwen to play. The president of the literary club was not bad in terms of physical fitness. He gritted his teeth and ran in third place, while the boys' side was initially preparing to go on the road to Mingfei. , but it’s a pity that this guy was out of breath during the warm-up. Lin Nian took the initiative to take over his task, and quickly left all the players behind him when he came on the field. Others were still running on the fifth lap. By the time, he had already crossed the line.

When holding the trophy, each person held it once. Lu Mingfei was considered as a participation award. He and Chen Wenwen held the cup and took photos together. When Lin Nian was holding the cup, Su Xiaoqiang came up. It happened that someone who was bored stood on the high platform and threw it down. Shredded colored paper, the scene was as festive as if she had won the Olympics. Amidst the cheers, Su Xiaoqiang took out her mobile phone and took the opportunity to take a selfie. This was probably the only photo of her and Lin Nian alone.

"The photo was pretty good." Lin Nian said, "Do you like me?"

God's turn.

Who would have thought he would ask this question? Maybe it’s because of the lock screen wallpaper?

no one knows.

Su Xiaoqiang's hand grabbing the quilt subconsciously grabbed the cotton wool in the quilt into a ball. It was as if Lin Nian's question had squeezed her heart hard, and it was no longer the intentional or unintentional scratching.

If the chance of lightning hitting a tree is one in 3,000, then in 3,000 unintentional times, the lightning finally found the opportunity and struck the tree that had been waiting for him in the heavy rain, breaking the tree apart. .

"I"

At the most critical moment, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly became speechless. She had a slight lack of blood supply to the brain and was a little dizzy. Damn it, she had laughed with the girls playing around her. In the Middle Ages, ladies always liked to tie their waists. The blue satin tight underwear could squeeze the delicate flowers until they couldn't breathe. You will faint if you are slightly stimulated.

Therefore, nobles in the Middle Ages always liked to brag to noble ladies about their adventurous experiences or their extravagant spending during romantic events. If their bravery could not make several women faint, then the noble would be unqualified and would be killed by himself. friends laughed at.

Whenever this story was mentioned, Su Xiaoqiang and her friends would laugh, thinking it was incredible and ridiculous. But now the boy in front of her just said four simple words, and she was a little out of breath.

"yes."

But she still mustered up the courage to say it.

There is no reason to shrink back. If you like it, just like it openly. It is not an embarrassment. If she can say "I support him" when the boy is being laughed at about his family, then she can say this naturally now.

"I do like you."

Lin Nian didn't say anything more. He turned to look at the city outside the sun, which was as clean as water. His eyes were also very clean, without too much haze and worries. It's great to fall in love in this weather. Everyone's hearts are harmonious. There is no dust on the tongue, and what comes out is the most straightforward and unmodified joy.

"Why?" he asked after a while.

"Is there a reason?" Su Xiaoqiang asked subconsciously.

"Same." Lin Nian realized that he had asked a stupid question.

It might be the opportunity for a dispute over the start of school, or it might be a three-pointer that hits the basket on the basketball court, or it might be a flying horse on the track. There are so many reasons to like someone, and those fragmentary reasons seem to be divided into one. Grains of sugar were added to the water little by little. After taking a sip inadvertently, I looked at him and felt a mouthful of sweetness. It was probably then that I realized, oh, it turns out I like him.

"Have you never thought about giving up?"

".Had."

She said it without confidence. She knew that she should be tough and let the other party see her determination, but she really couldn't do it. She couldn't lie in front of this boy who represented all the good things she could imagine.

Su Xiaoqiang actually had a lot of twists and turns in her heart, saying that she was a girl who was not good at words. She was not Chen Wenwen, who could reveal her thoughts to the boy she liked.

Maybe she wanted to say, you are the new star in the eyes of the track and field department. You can run very fast on the track. I will chase after you, but I can't catch up. Every time you turn, you may fall or something. I didn’t want to get up after I fell, but when I saw you running further and further away, I couldn’t help but cheer myself up, get up and continue chasing. After chasing him around and around, her knees were broken and bleeding, but the distance still didn't close. Everyone would have thought of giving up, but she continued to chase with a stubborn temper.

Emotions are always like this. When you are chasing someone's back on the runway, there is also a person or a group of people chasing you behind you. Everyone couldn't catch up and didn't want to stop and wait for the people behind them, so they kept running with their heads down and kept running. Only when they couldn't run anymore were they willing to compromise with the people behind them and help each other out of the runway. After a life of dullness, you may finally look back at that figure who is drifting away, feeling as if you have lost it.

But Su Xiaoqiang didn't want to compromise. Even though the figure in front of her threw her far away and out of sight, she was still running in circles on the track. The person chasing her behind had given up long ago, and she was running alone. Now Finally seeing the familiar figure from behind again, how could you stop and let him go?

"Then will you give up?"

"Won't."

This time she answered decisively.

"Okay." Lin Nian nodded after getting the answer.

Almost when Su Xiaoqiang thought she would receive the most absolute and ruthless rejection, a coin appeared in her sight. Looking up, she saw Lin Nian stretching out his right hand in the sun, with a coin lying in his palm. coin.

"Did you see it clearly?" Lin Nian asked, "Coin."

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Lin Nian slowly made a fist and held the coin in his right hand, then stretched out his hands and placed them in front of Su Xiaoqiang.

The sun shone on his face through the balcony. He looked at Su Xiaoqiang and said seriously, "Guess which hand the coin is in."

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned, because this was a question that gave away points for free. Lin Nian held the coin in his right hand and extended his left hand. Other than that, he did not make any movement. Of course, the coin would only be in the

"Right hand."

Lin Nian opened his right hand, but there was nothing inside. Then he opened his left hand, and the coins lay there quietly.

"Is this magic?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.

"You can think of it as, I cheated, so you didn't guess correctly." Lin Nian nodded and admitted.

Su Xiaoqiang didn't understand what he meant. Lin Nian said that he cheated, but she couldn't find any clues.

"Now you know the rules of the game." Lin Nian stretched out his hands again, with the coin in his left hand. "I will also cheat, and you can continue to guess, but I want to remind you in advance that it is almost impossible for you to play this game. Guess it, because I cheat every time, but you can guess once every time you see me.”

"Okay." Su Xiaoqiang had no reason to refuse this interesting game.

"If you like me, I won't advise you to give up, because you don't seem like someone who would give up. As long as you know that there is no one else around me, you will never give up. Giving up is a very difficult thing for you." Lin Nian looked into Su Xiaoqiang's eyes and said softly.

Su Xiaoqiang nodded silently. Just as Lin Nian said, if there was no one else around Lin Nian, she would keep waiting. Even if he rejected her, she would keep waiting. While waiting, she thought about what if he would change his mind, what if he would show up. On the street corner, if he will fall in love with me. Sit under the tree, eat one if, and then peel another if.

"So I'll give you the chance to guess the coin, but you have to promise me that before you guess the coin, you can live a good life, meet more people, and find more choices." Lin Nian said, "I'm leaving this place. After the city, don’t try to come to Kassel to find me, don’t hang yourself on a tree, you promised me, and I only played this game with you.”

"What happens if I guess the coin correctly?"

"I'll date you."

The room was very quiet, and on such a beautiful day it seemed like you could hear the sunlight flowing slowly on the railing outside the window.

Wan Boqian looked at Lin Nian walking out of the room without saying a word. She just waited for the boy to close the door. She picked up the heavy long box beside her and followed him to the door of the suite.

Pass through the corridor and enter the VIP elevator. The elevator door closes and the lights above your head dance in sequence.

No one spoke.

The silence was broken only when the elevator door opened.

"I just eavesdropped outside the door." Wan Boqian whispered.

"Yeah." Lin Nian nodded.

"Your word spirit is 'setsuna', right?"

"Um."

"Then she will never be able to win this game in her life." Wan Boqian said softly.

Lin Nian stood still at the door of the hotel. Outside, the blue Panamera parked quietly on the roadside. A boy wearing sunglasses stood beside the car in the sunshine, waiting for them as agreed.

"At the right time, she always wins a game," he said.

"It's better to reject her directly. No matter how persistent she is, she will be sad for a few months or half a year. When she gets tired of crying, she will find other boys." Wan Boqian shook her head. She knew what kind of word spirit "Snap" was. In this game, as long as the boy is willing, the girl will never be able to guess the coin in her life.

"Everyone deserves a chance, not six months or more of pain. No one deserves to be treated like that." Lin Nian said.

"But does she really have a chance? This kind of thing still depends on you, since you don't like her"

"Why?" Lin Nian turned around and asked Wan Boqian.

"Why?" Wan Boqian was stunned.

"Why are you so convinced that she will never win that game?" Lin Nian asked.

"Because you don't." Wan Boqian opened her mouth, but suddenly closed it.

Looking into the boy's eyes, she suddenly understood the meaning of his words.

A beautiful girl will be by your side to help you talk when you are ostracized. She will rush to you to cheer you when you win the championship. She will stand up for you when you are insulted. She will be there for you on your birthday. Sometimes I will secretly give you the DVD player you want. Can anyone really remain unmoved in front of such a girl?

No matter how hard it is, who can guarantee that he won’t stop a little bit under the endless pursuit of a girl? Even if it is very small, as long as there is a crack in the stone statue that has been hit by heavy rain, some of the rainwater will always flow into the closed heart of the stone statue.

But the stone statue cannot speak. It has its own destiny. Before the end of its destiny, it can only be a stone statue.

".I am also a human being, and I also have feelings. I didn't know why I couldn't accept her feelings before. After you came to me, I realized that I wanted to give her a chance and give myself a chance. There is still a long time to come. ", too many things may happen. We are still young and haven't met too many people yet. Our minds may all change. Who can tell?" Lin Nian looked out the window at the boy waiting for him and whispered softly. Said, "Now is not the time to talk about these things, at least not at this moment. There are more important things waiting for me to do. When those things are done, if she finds someone she likes, I will leave, but If she and I are still the same as we are now, what if we agree to flip the coin again and let her win again?"

"Yeah." Wan Boqian was silent for a long time and nodded.

After taking the heavy weapon box with the half-decayed World Tree school emblem in Wan Boqian's hand, the boy opened the door and walked out, submerged in the midsummer sunshine.
