Chapter 989 Ruan Youan: Coward

At this point, not many classmates have returned, and a few people are sleeping here and there, making the atmosphere look drowsy and quiet.

There was a blur of light that filtered through the curtains blown open by the wind and fell onto the table, reflecting a cup of strawberry ice cream and two strawberry gummies. The packaging was a small smiley face, shining brightly and rolling in the weak sunlight.

Roll over and try your best to bloom with enthusiasm.

That's her desk.

"Whose is this?" Ruan You'an walked over, confused, "It's in the wrong place."

"Didn't you buy it?" Yan Yi wondered, "I think it has always been here."

"I didn't buy it."

Ruan Youan asked patiently one by one, but found nothing.

This unsolved case was never solved in the end. I wonder if someone made a mistake or something?

Yan Yi teased maliciously: "Maybe it was given by someone who has a crush on you?"

"That's a gift in person." Ruan You'an didn't believe it, "Who would do this?"

"That's right, it's thankless." Yan Yi shrugged.

After all, Ruan Youan didn't dare to drink what the stranger had given him. He slowly pushed it away, his palms stained with cold water mist. Who had touched this glass of shaken ice not long ago.

Probably only the owner of the canteen knows.

But with so many people, who would remember?

The final destination was the trash can, along with the two strawberry gummies, discarded without any care.

In fact, that was not the first time Ruan Youan received such strawberry gummies, but she had never eaten them before.

After school, most of the students in the teaching building are gone.

So quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

The student on duty walked out carrying the trash can and happened to meet Mu Juanchen and said hello.

The young man was wearing a school uniform and a shoulder bag. His body was upright. He nodded slightly and inadvertently saw a strawberry gummy candy in the trash can. It fell into the dirty garbage and was thrown away ruthlessly. His smiling face was still smiling awkwardly.

Be taken apart.

His eyes froze and he didn't move for a long time.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, walked out, took out a gummy from his pocket with one hand, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sweet taste melts away.

So tired that I want to vomit.

It is right not to eat.

The sky gradually darkened, and a cloud moved in the distance, like large pieces of marshmallow, looking down at a hopeless secret love.

The first time the relationship between Ruan You'an and Mu Juanchen eased was probably on New Year's Eve that year.

Harvesting in autumn and storing in winter, you come and I go.

new year.

The cold snow is coming and the snow is falling heavily.

Ruan You'an was the only one in the empty villa. She slept all day during the day and got up at night to cook a bowl of instant noodles, planning to end the New Year's Eve hastily.

In the circle of friends, the half-sister posted a photo of a family of three, and the father's expression was extremely loving.

Caption: Mom, Dad, and me.

Just because my sister wanted to live as a family, her father could leave her in this house without hesitation and enjoy the happy New Year outside.

Ruan Youan looked at it and gave it a thumbs up.

She had lived this kind of life before and had almost forgotten about it.

It turns out that she is the one who doesn't fit in now.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Who would knock on the door so late during the Chinese New Year?

Ruan Youan thought strangely, and images from various horror movies kept popping up in his mind. He shuddered and walked over to open the door: "Hello..."

In the snow, under the streetlight.

The young man was wearing a black down jacket, standing in front of her, with a tall and tall figure. He was holding a thermos box in his hand. There were a lot of snowflakes on his long black eyelashes, as well as on the bridge of his nose. His skin was pale, and he didn't know how long he had been outside.

What a horror movie...

"Is something wrong?" Ruan You'an asked in surprise.

"The dumplings made by my mother were overcooked and no one ate them." Mu Junchen's voice was cold and slightly stiff.

He stood in the ice and snow, and she stood in the bright light and shadow, two worlds.

The cold wind rushed in. He was very tall, and his back blocked all the cold evening wind for her.

Ruan You'an hesitated, and his eyes slowly fell on the thermos box held in the young man's hand.

The slender finger bones were blue and white with cold and red.

The two families are not far from each other, and the elders usually move around a lot.

Even if you walk over slowly like a snail, you won't be frozen like this, right?

"Come in." Ruan You'an hesitated for a moment, then said softly. After thinking about it, he added, "Do you want to come in or not?"

The girl only wore loose pajamas and had a fluffy bun. Her hair was a little messy, her face looked smaller, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she awkwardly stepped aside half a step.

Mu Juanchen whispered, his voice drowned in the sound of snow: "Thank you."

Aha?

It's really a ghost this time.

Who should thank whom?

They spent the New Year's Eve together that year. The dumplings were stuffed with celery and were hot and steamy with white mist. They were delicious. I remember that the Spring Festival Gala that year was also very nice and full of laughter.

There are continuous sounds of fireworks and firecrackers outside, welcoming the new year and another year.

"Mu Juanchen! This is really funny, hahaha..." Ruan You laughed and fell on the sofa, almost crying. She turned to look at him, bright and happy.

Like an old photo or an old movie, it slowly freezes in the memory.

Mu Juanchen paused and looked at the TV seriously. He didn't actually find it funny, but he still twitched the corners of his mouth in a cooperative manner.

How can someone look like they are angry when they smile?

Cold and unpleasant.

"If this is the case -" Ruan You'an couldn't hold it back, she leaned over seriously, raised the corners of his mouth, their eyes met, their breaths intertwined, and for the most recent time, "laugh."

She would have no idea how violent his heartbeat was at that time.

Yes, she won't know anything.

In fact, it was the first and happiest New Year's Eve that Ruan You'an had spent after her mother passed away.

It was almost twelve o'clock. Ruan You'an realized the time, was stunned for a moment, and urged: "Aren't you going home? Go back quickly, it's almost time to stay up late! You have to spend it with your family -"

Mu Juanchen turned his face sideways and said calmly: "They are busy socializing and have no time."

Ruan You'an joked: "Then we share the same problem."

He hummed softly.

Doesn't this count? I'll be closer to you.

Later, the clock rang at 12 o'clock at midnight, and the sky and earth were covered with snow.

"Ruan You'an."

"Happy New Year."

besides.

In the new year, I still like you very much.

The second half of the sentence was lost in the blizzard and was never uttered.

"Happy New Year!" she said happily, without knowing anything.

After graduation, we went our separate ways and rarely contacted each other.

Ruan You'an may feel strange when he thinks back to those years many years later.

That strawberry gummy candy that I kept eating for three years in high school.

Those countless blunt and green conversations.

That New Year's Eve, the boy's fingers were red from the cold, and he made up an excuse clumsily.

There are countless details and moments. How come you didn’t notice them at all in the first place?

So I missed it again and again, regretting that it was the end of youth, and there was no photo of the two of them during the graduation season.

He is a coward and so is she.

That teaching building shrouded in midsummer, with the chirping of cicadas, hides too many secrets.

The wind has risen.

Graduated.
