At night, Xinan didn't sleep well all night, constantly worrying about Yige's condition. Although he knew that Yige should not have a big problem, there was always a voice of guilt in his heart...
If I hadn't dragged Yi Ge running in the rain, perhaps this wouldn't have happened... But, but when I saw her and that boy being so ambiguous, how could I have resisted?
Oh, right. Xinan sat up suddenly. How could he forget about that boy, who was almost as handsome as him? There was something wrong with the way he looked at Yige...
Is it because he...
Did Yige ignore him because of him? But, how could it be?
What happened?
He pounded his head in distress. Why, why couldn't he remember some crucial parts?
When the mother heard the noise, she hurriedly opened the door and came in. She quickly stopped her son's behavior and touched his head with heartache.
Xinan suddenly raised his head, looked into his mother's eyes, and said word by word: "Mom, can you tell me what happened between Yige and me? Why can't I remember some things? They seem completely disconnected from the present...Mom, can you tell me?" Xinan looked at his mother expectantly, and his mother also looked at him with heartache, but after a long time, his mother still just shook her head.
"That girl should no longer be your friend. She was the reason you were hospitalized. You should not go to see her again." The mother said slowly.
"No, it's impossible. Yi Ge is not that kind of person." Xinan intuitively felt that Yi Ge could not harm him.
The mother said sternly: "You don't even believe in your mother? Don't mention Shu Yige in front of me anymore! You should think more about Meihui. Meihui is so good to you. She is the one you need to cherish."
Xi Nan shook her head and said, "No, Mom, I know Mei Hui is very good, but Yi Ge..."
"Xinan, you have to take care of your own affairs. That's all I want to say." The mother said this and walked out.
Xinan was at a loss.
On the third day, Yige did not come.
On the fourth day, Yi Ge still didn't come.
Day 5…
Xinan waited in the classroom until late every day, but Yige never came, and his doubts and worries grew deeper and deeper.
That day, Xinan did not leave after class and stood quietly by the window.
The clouds in the west made the sunset evenly painted, so beautiful that it made people want to cry. He looked down at his watch.
It's already the fifth day and she still hasn't come.
But she will come eventually, Xi Nan thought hopefully.
Yige, do you know that I have been waiting for you here, he whispered in his heart, I will wait for you every day until you come.
"Heenan."
When we were in silence, the teacher's kind but stern voice suddenly came from behind.
Xinan turned around hurriedly and whispered, "Teacher, you haven't gone home yet?"
The teacher's eyes flickered with an unpredictable light behind the lenses: "Xinan, are you still waiting for that girl here?"
Xinan nodded shyly: "Yes, she hasn't come yet." He couldn't help but look out the window again. Actually, he couldn't see anything, but looking for her from afar seemed to always bring him some comfort.
The teacher looked at him without saying anything, walked to the window, and stood with Xinan.
Xinan asked in confusion: "Teacher..."
The teacher adjusted his glasses and said slowly, "Xinan, you don't have to wait for her anymore." Xinan was surprised: "Why?"
The teacher looked at him with pity in his eyes and said, "That girl, um, Shu Yige, she has resigned and will not come here anymore."
"Huh?" Like a bolt from the blue, this news almost knocked Xinan off his feet!
He stood still with great determination and asked in the calmest tone possible, "Why?" However, his voice was still trembling slightly.
This naturally did not escape the teacher's ears. He sighed softly: "Xinan, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with this girl?"
Xinan was stunned.
The teacher took out a cigarette from his arms, lit it, put it in his mouth, took a puff, and then slowly blew out smoke rings.
"Xinan, when you are young, you must learn to cherish some things." The teacher suddenly said.
Xinan stared at the teacher blankly. There were already stars twinkling on the teacher's temples and there were traces of vicissitudes of life in the corners of his eyes.
He found that the teacher was a little different and had never been as kind as he was today.
As if seeing through Xinan's thoughts, the teacher said slowly: "When I was young, I really didn't know how to cherish. She was such a good girl at that time, but I left her cruelly in order to study in Vienna, the holy land in the hearts of musicians. But now that I have everything I dreamed of when I was young, I am still not happy. Because I can't find her anymore. She was really good to me at that time..." The teacher smiled, his eyes twinkling. He no longer looked like the stern professor in class, but just a middle-aged man immersed in the good memories of the past.
Xinan listened quietly, and couldn't help but be infected by the teacher's emotions, and nodded silently.
The teacher sighed and said, "It's too late for the teacher to do anything now. But, Xinan, you are still so young, you can still pursue and keep what you really want." Xinan nodded heavily: "I understand, teacher."
The teacher took another puff of his cigarette and said, "I know that girl. She is the daughter of a real estate tycoon in this city, but she actually came here to work as a cleaner."
Xi Nan was shocked and said, "Teacher..."
The teacher nodded: "The day she came was your first day studying here..." Xinan's eyes suddenly appeared the scene of that day when he was in the coffee shop, looking at her from afar and sitting in his seat, gently pressing her face against the golden metal surface of the saxophone. He suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
The teacher continued, "She never meets you. I don't understand what happened between you. But she is really a good girl. Xinan, you are my favorite student. I often see myself in you, which is why I am particularly strict with you. Now, Xinan, I hope you don't miss this girl. When you are young, if you miss a moment, you miss your whole life. The teacher doesn't want you to have regrets in the future." Xinan had never heard the teacher say such soft and meaningful words to him. He was so moved that he could hardly speak: "Teacher..."
The teacher waved his hand to stop him from saying anything further and said, "She has moved to a new house. I know if she wants to avoid you, you won't be able to find her, just like I did back then..." He paused for a moment and continued, "I have her home address, Xi Nan, go find her quickly." Then he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Xi Nan.
Xinan listened quietly until he heard the teacher's last words. It was as if a ray of light suddenly shone in from the darkness, and everything in front of him suddenly became clear.
Xinan took the note with both hands and couldn't help but bow to the teacher: "Thank you, thank you teacher!" Then he turned around and ran away.
Xinan ran wildly, holding the piece of paper with Yi Ge's address tightly against his chest.
Yige...I will see you soon...
He couldn't help but let a sincere smile appear on his face, and he gently pressed the button for the elevator to go down.
“Ding Dong.”
The elevator door opened, and Xi Nan was about to go in when he suddenly froze.
Standing in front of him was Meihui with a sweet smile.
Meihui walked to his side lively as usual, took his arm, and leaned her head on his shoulder: "Xinan, I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you didn't come down, so I had to come to find you."
She raised her head and looked at him with her big eyes without blinking: "What's wrong with you these days? Why didn't you call me?" She said softly, her voice so crisp that it seemed to be able to pinch water, "Xinan, is there something wrong? Tell me, I will work with you to find a solution and face it together!"
Xinan suddenly didn't know what to say: "Meihui..."
Meihui was sharp-eyed and suddenly saw the paper he was holding tightly to his chest. She asked curiously, "What is this?"
Noticing that Xi Nan had put the piece of paper on his heart as if he was holding some treasure, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable and wanted to tear the paper into pieces.
Xinan was stunned when he heard her question, and almost instinctively thought: Meihui must not see this paper.
She was a girl who was so good to him, childhood sweetheart, who had always been silently by his side, waiting for his love. In such a fire... he should have died, but, but she saved him... so, he must not hurt her.
He carefully folded the piece of paper and said, "It's nothing. It's the music score that my teacher asked me to practice at home." He couldn't help but reveal a gentle expression on his face.
His unusual tenderness made Meihui suspicious. She looked at the paper and suddenly snatched it away from him when he was not paying attention.
Xi Nan was caught off guard and got startled. He quickly whispered, "Mei Hui, stop it. This piece of paper means a lot to me." He looked at her nervously, afraid that the paper would suddenly disappear from her hand...
Meihui stared at the piece of paper with wide eyes. There was a vigorous handwriting on it, with an address written on it. She knew without thinking that this address must be related to Shu Yige. Thinking of this, her fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Xinan, he...actually, wanted to find Shu Yige!
For half a year, everything was calm and peaceful, everything was going smoothly and happily, but why did a sudden disturbance arise again ?
She wanted to tear the paper up immediately! Tear it to pieces! Without leaving a trace!
Xi Nan looked at Mei Hui's face, which had suddenly turned pale, and asked anxiously, "Mei Hui, what's wrong with you?"
Meihui suppressed her inner jealousy and hatred, slowly raised her head, and asked in a deliberately gentle tone: "Xinan, is it true that you already... don't love me anymore? Is that why you want to find Yige?" Seeing that Xinan didn't answer, she confirmed her guess that the address on the paper was indeed related to Yige!
In an instant, tears mixed with complex emotions filled her eyes.
Seeing her crying, Xinan suddenly panicked: "No, Meihui, don't misunderstand me, I just feel like I seem to have forgotten something. Yige should have been a very important person to me, but I can't remember many things. So, I want to find her and ask her clearly. Meihui...you..."
"Just want to ask something?" Meihui stared at Xinan with wide eyes, "Then you can ask me. I know everything about you."
Xinan was surprised: "Meihui, so you also know Yige? Why haven't I heard you mention Yige before?" He changed his mind and realized that Meihui and he were childhood sweethearts. If the person was very important to him, Meihui would definitely know him.
Meihui nodded slowly: "Shu Yige, of course I know her..." She suddenly raised her head, looked at Xinan, and said softly, "In the past, Shu Yige was a very important person to you. She was also your girlfriend!"
"Girlfriend?" Xinan was stunned. No wonder, no wonder he felt so familiar and close to Yige...
"But!" Meihui raised her head, with a few crystal tears hanging on her eyelashes, and continued: "You and her have broken up because she has fallen in love with someone else. You are so miserable that you are almost desperate. You drink a lot of alcohol every day to numb yourself. On the day when the incident happened, you made an appointment with her for the last time, hoping to keep her... But after the accidental fire, she ran out of the burning house alone. I happened to come to find you at that time. I was worried that you were still in the room, so I rushed in without caring about anything and found you drunk... I used all my strength to save you..."
Xi Nan recalled that when he woke up, Mei Hui was by his side, and he couldn't help but be very moved, "Weren't you afraid of danger at that time?"
"Because it's you, I'm not afraid!" Meihui looked at him steadily and said softly, "The reason why I never told you about Yige is that I was afraid that you would be hurt and I didn't dare to tell you. And since you have chosen to forget, there is no need for me to let you recall that past and be hurt by her again... But Xinan, if you still continue to love that girl, then I... I won't stop you! I respect your choice. Even if I will be in so much pain that I want to die..."
"Meihui..." Xinan looked at her tears flowing again, feeling apologetic, and reached out to hold her in his arms.
He vaguely recalled a picture, a girl's voice in the billowing smoke and the blazing fire: "Xinan, believe me, we will definitely get out! Don't give up!" Yes, that voice should be Meihui, it was she who saved him...
In his embrace, Meihui was still sobbing, "I'm sorry, Xinan, I shouldn't have kept it from you... Now, go find Yige."
Xi Nan shook his head and hugged Mei Hui tighter: "I'm sorry, Mei Hui, you've been so good to me, if I don't know how to cherish you, then I'm really going too far!"
"Xinan..."
Meihui lay softly in his arms, with a slight smile on her lips. She almost did something stupid just now! Fortunately, she restrained herself. Of course, she couldn't do something that would make Xi Nan hate her in front of him. She wanted him to give up automatically because of guilt and emotion.
Now, she succeeded! This was the smartest way! And it was the only way to keep Xi Nan by her side forever!
She raised her head and wrapped her arms around Hee-nam's neck, hugging him tightly.
The piece of paper fell to the ground silently, like a tired white butterfly.
"Xinan, promise me that you will never leave me..." she murmured.
Xi Nan stroked her hair gently, nodded, and said softly: "Don't worry, Meihui."
But I don’t know why, Yi Ge’s shadow still flashed through my mind.
He didn't see that Meihui, who was sobbing in his arms, suddenly had a glimmer of terrifying hatred in her eyes! She remembered the first time she saw Yige...
The day after Xi Nan debugged the cappuccino coffee, Mei Hui couldn't hold back her curiosity and came to Xi Nan's house. When she knocked on the door, she found Xi Nan with an unconcealable happy smile on his face.
"Meihui, you're here too? It's just right, Yige just arrived too, I can introduce you to Yige." Xinan smiled gently, his caring and calm expression suddenly made Meihui extremely jealous. Frustration and disappointment surged in her heart, she almost cried, it turned out that she was just a wishful fool!
However, she still smiled sweetly: "Okay, Xi Nan."
When she entered Xinan's room, she saw a girl in a light blue sweater sitting in front of Xinan's desk, facing the computer. Xinan called out, "Yige, a good friend of mine is here." But it was just an ordinary sentence, but Meihui couldn't help but feel sad again. Did he only regard her as a good friend?
When the girl turned around, Meihui suddenly felt the dazzling light and the clear and charming spirit, and she couldn't help but lower her head.
The girl stood up lively, stretched out her hand and said, "Hello, I'm Shu Yige." Her voice was clear and pleasant, and her little chin was slightly raised, revealing a bit of pride.
Meihui also smiled and stretched out her hand to shake it.
No wonder Xinan likes such a beautiful girl.
She felt a little more relieved in her heart. If this girl was just pretty... then she was still very confident that she could snatch Xi Nan from her.
When this thought came to her mind, even she was shocked.
Yi Ge was unaware of her thoughts. After Xi Nan introduced Mei Hui to Yi Ge, he went to cut fruits, and Mei Hui and Yi Ge sat together.
Yige was like a little child, very curious about Meihui and asked a lot of questions, which made Meihui become much quieter.
Yi Ge asked, "I heard about you from Xi Nan. Did you grow up with him? Was Xi Nan cute when he was a child?" It is said that if you like someone, you will be particularly interested in his childhood. It seems that not only Xi Nan likes Yi Ge, but she also likes Xi Nan.
Meihui still smiled sweetly: "Yes, we grew up together and were best friends. When he was a child, he was very cute, and he was already a handsome boy back then..." She thought of some interesting things from her childhood, and a smile appeared on her lips. "Many children are very noisy when they are young, but Xinan is different. When he was a child, he was always so kind and gentle. He would give me any delicious food and often take care of me. I always feel that if there is still a prince in this world now, this prince must be Xinan." She said absentmindedly, and suddenly felt lost and sad.
Yige curled her lips and said, "He doesn't act like a prince. He always disobeys me."
Xi Nan happened to walk into the room, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't accompany you to Green Island, and I won't show you the surprise I gave you today."
Yige stuck out her tongue, ran over and hugged his neck, and said coquettishly, "I was just joking with Meihui." She turned to Meihui with a bright smile, "Meihui, isn't it?"
When Meihui saw Xinan and Yige being affectionate, she could not help but force a smile and lowered her head, feeling extremely sad in her heart.
"Shu Yige..."
She remembered this name from then on. It was this girl who snatched away Xi Nan, the Xi Nan that belonged to her...
Xi Nan looked down at Mei Hui in his arms. Mei Hui seemed to have regained her composure.
She leaned against him tenderly, hugged his neck, and said coquettishly: "Xinan, come shopping with me now, okay? Please stop thinking about Yige, okay? You have to know that you are my boyfriend now, and you said you would not abandon me."
Xi Nan stared into her eyes quietly, then nodded slowly and helplessly.
"All right……"
Meihui immediately became happy. While pulling Xinan's hand and walking into the elevator, she said, "Xinan, do you know? An ice cream shop opened recently. It is said that the ice cream there is delicious..." The elevator door slowly closed.
