Aaliya bought some fast food and went to a small park not far from the company with Chen Xiaonian. The two found a quiet grassy spot and sat down. The warm sunshine shining on them made people feel lazily deep in their bodies.
come out.
"At that time, the area near my home was in the development stage, and there were not many people living there. He moved his family here when I was five years old."
After a few minutes of silence, Arya took a few sips of sparkling water and started talking.
"His parents brought him and souvenirs to visit my house. The first time I saw him, I thought this little brother was too beautiful. He was a little shy and hid behind his parents with half of his head sticking out. He looked a little sickly and pale.
My face was a little red. I don’t know what words I should use to accurately describe the surprise at that time. Anyway, it was a very cute pink color.”
Arya tilted her head while holding her straw in her mouth, thinking about it, and finally used very common words.
"As time went by, the two families became familiar with each other, and he and I gradually started playing together. Later, his good friend Emil and others also moved here. At that time, I often ran around behind a group of boys.
I can be seen in all the troublesome things they did. I didn't know he was sick at the time, but I just wondered why he always stood there alone and looked at us every time we went to play. His eyes were very strange.
, later I realized that I was envious at that time.”
Chen Xiaonian couldn't help but interrupt Alya, "Is it the blond man who came to see you that day?"
Arya turned to look at her and nodded, her body swaying with the gentle spring breeze.
"The days go by like this, with laughter, noisy, and sometimes even fights."
Thinking of the interesting things from her childhood, Arya couldn't help but laugh, which was as relaxing as the wind today.
"Sometimes when he doesn't come out, I can't help but wonder what he is doing. Although my attention will soon be diverted, my interest in playing is never as high as when he is around."
"It wasn't until I was ten years old that I secretly took my father's camera and went outside to play. That day I took the most satisfying photo of myself so far. He was as noble and noble as a prince, standing quietly like a tall tree.
Down below, the distant sight is looking toward nowhere. The dappled sunlight penetrates the branches and leaves.
The shot on him and the small artificial lake not far away formed a beautiful picture. When I was about to take a photo of this scene, he noticed me. There was a moment of surprise in my eyes when I looked over, and then disappeared in an instant.
I was so happy, at that moment I seemed to see delicate roses blooming on her body."
Chen Xiaonian was so fascinated by what he heard that he almost forgot about the double beef burger in his hand, took a bite in a hurry and asked.
"Then what?"
Arya thought for a while and continued: "Maybe we who were young at the time didn't realize that a strange feeling was sprouting. Maybe he already knew about it at the time, but just kept it hidden and refused to say it. Until I was fifteen years old.
, after understanding what that strangeness was, I could no longer suppress the girl's innocent and surging passion, and confessed to him one afternoon."
"You know? At that time, I already knew that he was terminally ill, but I still made up my mind to spend the rest of my life with him. Even if it was only a few years, it didn't matter. As long as I could be with him, all the pain would be sweet.
. I only thought about the situation in front of me. I was prepared to be rejected by him, and even planned how to confess my love next time. I thought that as long as I didn’t give up, one day my dream would come true.”
Arya, trapped in the happiness of memories, has lost all of her former calmness.
"Perhaps God heard my prayer and actually made my first confession successful. On Christmas Day that year, He took me to stand on a busy street in the city center, where there was the largest and most gorgeous Christmas tree.
. He said that he would marry me when I was eighteen years old. He made this promise again during the summer vacation of the second year. This time he stood in front of the Holy Cross and said it in front of Jesus and the Virgin.
He also gave me the silver cross necklace he had brought with him since childhood."
"Naively, I thought that we would walk hand in hand for the rest of the years. The joy in my heart was every time I looked at him, every minute I spent with him, and the indescribable wonderful feeling hidden in my heart. But later, I
I found that the distance between us was gradually getting farther and farther. I don’t know when, but the young man who promised to marry me had quietly let go of his clasped hands and walked forward alone."
Chen Xiaonian found that the happiness surrounding Arya seemed to turn into golden sand and dissipated little by little under the sun. Although her expression remained unchanged, it made people feel sad.
"Your burger is cold. Don't be sad after eating it."
When Chen Xiaonian found that the fries in the bag were getting soft, he did not forget to remind Alya next to him while solving the problem.
"You seem to enjoy eating."
Chen Xiaonian put the fries into her mouth with the help of sparkling water and nodded hurriedly.
"Think about it, when you are sad and your stomach suddenly makes an unsightly sound, it will ruin the atmosphere! Only when you are full and satisfied can you have enough energy to sort out your emotions."
Arya lowered her head and glanced at the half-eaten burger in her hand. She took a bite and found that it seemed to taste better than before. Appetite is like a broken dam. Once the dam breaks, it will be out of control.
"Okay, that's it for today. You will keep it a secret for me, right?"
There was a real smile in Aaliyah's eyes. Chen Xiaonian quickly promised that he would keep it secret. He glanced at his watch, picked up Aaliyah and rushed to the company. He could not run as fast as one thousand meters in school.
So fast. She finally stepped into the study room at the last minute. If there were no classes at the beginning of work in the afternoon, Chen Xiaonian would not have to be so panicked. Feeling the warmth coming from her wrist, Aaliya felt that it was the first time since she moved out to live alone.
I have the urge to make friends.
"Husband, I'm so tired."
It is true that work with the brain consumes more energy than physical work. Emil didn't know why he was so crazy today. He spent the entire afternoon talking about theories about jewelry and art. As soon as Chen Xiaonian got into the car, he pounced on Lin Qi
In his arms, exhaustion left her with no strength to sit upright.
"My husband will give you a massage when we get back."
Every time Chen Xiaonian gets tired more easily than usual a week before her menstrual period, Lin Qi will also thoughtfully prepare various small items for her to eliminate fatigue.
As expected, Arya saw Andel again, and she stood there wondering for a long time before walking over.
"Do you want me to take you home?"
Andel took out the ring that Arya had thrown into the corner last night from his pocket and handed it to her expectantly.
"Andel, in the past it was just an impulse to make things better. Now you and I can't go back to the past. Now that you have recovered your health, let's put down the past and move forward and don't look back, okay?"
Arya could not accept any overtures from Andel until her true feelings were clear. The young man's face was a little transparent in the sunlight, and he did not show any sadness after being rejected.
"Let's go home."
The voice was a bit ethereal, and Arya was dazed for a moment. The scene in front of her was like a husband coming to pick up his wife after get off work and returning home together. There was even some warmth mixed in that she was not sure whether it was real or not. On the way back Arya herself now lives in the house opposite hers and wants to become neighbors with her again.
"It's really a headache."
Arya follows her habit of using alcohol to numb herself when she's in a bad mood.
"Can I borrow some wine from you?"
Turning around, I saw Andel standing at the door with a shy smile.
"Don't get me wrong, because I just moved here and I haven't prepared any food at home."
Arya tilted her head and raised her eyebrows. This guy was so thick-skinned. When she looked down, she saw the food box in the man's hand and knew that he had already prepared it. She suddenly remembered what Chen Xiaonian said in the park at noon.
, filling your stomach is the most important thing in life besides life and death. You must learn to make friends with it.
My stomach, which was not hungry at first, felt a little empty at this time. Anyway, I was too lazy to cook. Since someone offered it to me, why not accept it calmly.
"Come in."
Andel's expression immediately became lively, and he quickly and orderly placed the food on the table. Arya placed two wine glasses in a casual manner, and there was no ice in the other wine glass.
"Let's go after this drink."
He was about to chase people away before they even started. Andel looked at the amber liquid in the wine glass in his hand, and a little joy in his heart loomed on his lips.
"Eat some food first, otherwise it will be bad for your stomach."
Westerners almost didn't believe this rhetoric. Arya was very disdainful when she heard this. Seeing that she didn't listen, Andel stood up and snatched the wine glass from her hand to prevent her from drinking directly from the bottle.
She also held the wine bottle in her arms. Her lips, which resembled pink roses, were pressed into a straight line, and her light-colored eyes refused to give in.
"You really are."
Arya pressed her forehead, helplessness written all over her body. In the end, after a stalemate for more than ten minutes, she was the first to lose. While chewing the food, she looked at Andel opposite, and it seemed that she could not refuse him no matter what.
requirements, especially when looking towards that
His heart was involuntarily clenched when he saw his eyes full of broken colors. Andel, who was sitting opposite, kept his gaze on his sweetheart's every move. He sipped the strong wine in his mouth and stimulated all the taste buds on his tongue. The spicy taste brought
A little bit sweet.
"Okay, I'm done eating, you can go."
Arya shook the wine glass in her hand, and the ice cubes had turned into small pieces floating back and forth with her movements.
"Okay, good night then Arya."
Andel walked to the door and turned around with a glaring look, "Can you accompany me to the mall for shopping tomorrow? I'm a man who doesn't know what I need to buy."
After saying that, she lowered her head and touched the back of her head in embarrassment. Her thin figure made people pity her. Arya almost opened her mouth to refuse, but in the end she agreed against her will.
"Emile, Arya agreed, thank you."
The first thing he did when he got home, Andel called his friend to thank him. If it weren't for his advice, he still wouldn't know how to enhance the relationship between the two.
"She can't bear to refuse because she still has feelings for you. I hope you can seize this hard-won opportunity."
After dinner, Chen Xiaonian didn't even want to take a shower and threw herself on the bed. The soft and silky four-piece flannel suit made her want to bury herself in it.
"Honey, how about I serve you?"
Lin Qi, who came in later, started joking when he saw his wife's lazy appearance, and even made a move to undress her and take off her belt. Chen Xiaonian jumped up and scolded him and sneaked into the bathroom shamelessly.
Alas, when will this stimulating method become ineffective? With a regretful sigh, Lin Qi walked away to prepare what he needed later.
"Ah~~~"
A long and comfortable sigh floated out from the gap in the window, followed immediately by the voice of a man who was acting like a gangster.
"Wife, your screams are so ecstasy, it's hard for my husband to withstand it!"
