There was no one else in the alley, only he stood under the dim street lights, as if he had been waiting for a long time, lowering his head slightly and looking down at the ground.

And she stood not far away, and when she looked at this scene, her first reaction was that if she ran away now, would she still have time?

However, the next moment, reality gave her an answer.

It's too late.

Because he had looked up.

He was showing off, and she was in the dark. In fact, from his perspective, he should only see a blurred figure, and he couldn't see her face clearly.

But Jing Li still clearly saw that her familiar smile appeared on his elegant face.

He should have been tired, both in his body and in his face, but the moment he smiled after seeing her figure, the fatigue and fatigue seemed to disappear.

He took steps and walked towards her.

Until he stood in front of her, she still didn't come back to her senses. It was not until she heard his words "You're back" that she suddenly came back to her senses. After raising her eyes to meet his gaze, she smiled slightly, "Hi, it's such a coincidence."

As soon as he said that, Jing Li wanted to slap himself in the mouth in annoyance.

What a coincidence?

She pretended to be stupid and shouldn't have said such words, right?

However, she was still upset, but Huo Qiran didn't realize that there was any problem with this and replied in a low voice: "Unfortunately, I'm here to find you."

"Oh." Jing Li responded again, and before he could say anything, he suddenly heard him coughing twice involuntarily.

It happened to be the wind here, and the wind was not small at night. Her heart tightened in an instant and she couldn't help asking him: "Have you not recovered from your cough?"

"It's almost done," said Huo Qiran, "I just cough twice occasionally, nothing is wrong."

He said nothing was wrong, but when nothing was wrong, he couldn't help but cough twice.

Jing Li was in a state of great concern, but he finally pulled him into the Siheyuan.

This courtyard is not big, but it is a rare and unique courtyard. There are several rooms inside. Jing Li led him directly into the tea room, then turned around and started boiling water. After a busy schedule, he finally got a cup of hot water and put it in front of him.

Huo Qiran reached out and held the teacup in front of him, then looked up at her, "Are you going to stand like this?"

Jingli stood one meter away from the table, and after a long time, he finally moved.

Some things have to be faced after all. Since this moment has come, if escaping has no effect, why not face them calmly?

Thinking of this, Jingli finally pulled open the chair and sat down opposite him.

"I thought you would stay in Tongcheng for a while longer." Huo Qiran said, "Who knew he would leave just after he said that, you didn't tell me."

"Yes." Jing Li said, "I left in a hurry..."

"I heard that you proposed to Stewart to come to Huai City early." Huo Qiran said again.

Jing Li pursed her lips and didn't say anything for a while.

But I heard Huo Qiran say, "Is it because of me?"

Jing Li was quiet for a moment before saying, "Yes."

Huo Qiran said again: "Did I scare you?"

Jing Li's breathing tense for a moment before saying, "I'm not a child, I'm not that scared... I just hope that you can sort out your thoughts."

Huo Qiran slowly raised his eyes, his eyes resting on her face again, "Is my thoughts... not clear enough?"

"Do you really know what you think?" Jing Li asked back, "Do you really know what you like? Are you sure you want to be kind to someone because of kindness or love?"

Huo Qiran's eyes paused slightly, "I don't understand what you mean."

"You are so nice, you are so kind." Jingli looked at him and said slowly, "You want everyone to be happy, so you are good to everyone, and you will do your best to help others... including, repaying those feelings that are simply wishful thinking."

Jing Li slowly lowered his head, "Fellowship is a very personal matter. It is often wishful thinking and cannot be responded to. This should not be your burden or a reason for you to be responsible. Do you understand? In the feelings that others have given for you, you are innocent and you have not hurt anyone, so you should not blame yourself, let alone give the feelings you shouldn't have given... This is just your kindness, this is not love."

"Besides, I have nothing worthy of your liking."

She said softly.

Huo Qiran was silent for a long time before he finally spoke softly: "But I like it, I just like it. Where to go is worth it?"

Jing Li suddenly smiled bitterly, "Why don't you understand? This is not like it. It's just because you think you hurt me and our friendship, so you have an illusion... But in fact, you didn't hurt me, and our friendship was also something I chose to give up on myself. These have nothing to do with you..."

"If that's the case..." Huo Qiran paused, "Then I have also hurt the relationship between me and Su Su. Should I also do this and save it back?"

Jing Li was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened between you and Su Su, but this is the situation between us. I hope you can think clearly and not do this again-"

Before she finished speaking, Huo Qiran suddenly took out something from his backpack and put it on the table between the two of them.

Jing Li was suddenly stunned.

It was a glass candy jar filled with all kinds of chocolates.

"I have saved this can of chocolate for a long time," said Huo Qiran, "because I wanted to find one that tastes the same as the one I had before, but I searched for a long time and collected a lot of similar ones, but I couldn't find the first one. I have been searching for four years. I think one day, I will try chocolates all over the world, and I can always find them... I was ridiculous for this for a long time and said that she had quit chocolate, and I became addicted... I also thought it was ridiculous because I didn't know what I was doing and what the meaning of doing this..."

"Until that day, I suddenly saw you in Huaian Painting Hall... After I got home, I saw this can of candy, and suddenly I felt that it didn't seem that important whether there was one or not. The vacancy I was looking for and the one I was waiting for seemed to be filled in again..."

After a long time, Jing Li finally raised his hand to touch the glass jar and whispered: "Since it doesn't matter whether there is that or not, what's the point of keeping this jar?"
