"Honey, my husband is calling..."

Xia Yili took the cell phone, and Xiaorou's voice no longer sounded from the other end of the phone, but Su Mo's words.

"Yili? How is Yue Ling?"

"I'm still sleeping." Xia Yili looked at Jiang Yueling who was holding her arm aside, and immediately replied, "Do you have something to deal with?"

"That's right...and, sorry."

Su Mo's voice was full of apology, "I'll ask you to send Yue Ling back today... I want to spend my time with Xiaorou alone."

"Well...I understand."

Xia Yili responded softly on the other end of the phone, but after answering, she hesitated a little.

"Don't you plan to... celebrate the New Year with us?"

"Not sure. If your roommates have arrangements, you can go to their side first. I will compensate you and Yue Ling in the future... In this way, I will compensate you tomorrow."

"Don't think about compensation anymore, please stay with Xiaorou."

"……Thank you."

"Hey... why are you polite to me? You're dead."

Xia Yili hung up the phone and sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time. A surging feeling of loss spread in her heart. She had almost never felt this way.

Before she knew it, Xia Yili shed tears, and then she hugged Jiang Yueling, who was confused beside her, and whimpered softly, as if seeking comfort.

Su Mo was grateful for Huai Yili's reasonableness and understanding, but the guilt in his heart was naturally lingering.

Although suddenly putting the pigeon was indeed a very hurtful act, the smiling Lu Xiaorou in front of her was the one who Su Mo needed to bet on all the people he cared about at this moment.

Su Mo hung up his phone and slowly walked to Lu Xiaorou.

"Brother Su Mo, what's wrong with Sister Yili and the others?"

"Nothing." Su Mo shook his head.

"Then are we going to KTV now?"

"I can't get over." Su Mo paused and immediately smiled, "That's right. Sister Yue Ling had drunk too much in KTV just now. Sister Yili wanted to send her back to school to rest. She might not meet with us later."

"Sister Yue Ling is drunk? Is she so worried... she should send her back together."

"No need..." Su Mo said quietly, "I'd better accompany you first."

"Ah? I...I don't need it... Grandpa is fine now, so-"

Su Mo gently held Lu Xiaorou's hand and said, "Just treat it as accompaniment to me."

Lu Xiaorou looked at Su Mo with a look of surprise, but she did not discuss it too much.

In this way, Lu Xiaorou was held by Su Mo and walked on the cold winter street.

Today is December 31, with many pedestrians on the road, and red lanterns are hung on the streets on both sides of the road. To be honest, this year's New Year is still one and a half months, but merchants don't seem to care about the time nodes that have been ahead of time.

Although this is not a pedestrian street in the city center, it still has the unique prosperity of the metropolis, with traffic flows and crowds of people.

Su Mo just held Lu Xiaorou's hand and walked through one street after another. He did not explain his destination to Xiaorou, and Lu Xiaorou just kept silent. He did not ask Su Mo the reason, but he kept walking with his hands.

This silent tacit understanding was finally broken with Su Mo's stopping - what appeared in front of Su Mo and Lu Xiaorou at this moment was a bridge standing by the river.

The weather is sunny today, and you can see the setting sun in the distance, and the dim light of the setting sun shines on Su Mo and Lu Xiaorou's faces.

At this time, Su Mo slowly turned around and looked at Lu Xiaorou, whose golden light was scattered on her face, "Have you been here before?"

Lu Xiaorou shook her head, "It should be...no, what's wrong here?"

"nothing……"

Su Mo pulled Lu Xiaorou and continued to walk forward, "Brother Su Mo had a dream a while ago. I dreamed that a long time ago, I had a girl I liked very much."

Not... Sister Yili?

Lu Xiaorou did not ask because of doubt, but continued to wait for Su Mo's statement.

"When we are dating, we often look at the sunset by the bridge as we are now."

"At that time, she told me that if we get married in the future, we must buy a house by a bridge like this."

"In this way, after dinner, the family of three can take a walk together. The child is jumping in the middle, and the father and mother stand on both sides, holding hands, blowing the wind coming from the river..."

Su Mo suddenly stopped talking, but Lu Xiaorou couldn't help but shed tears.

She had tried hard to keep her smile, but she could not stop the twitching of the corners of her mouth.

Seeing her crying, Su Mo immediately took out a tissue to wipe it on her.

"I'm sorry... Brother Su Mo... I don't know why..."

"You actually know why, right? Xiaorou."

Su Mo gently called Lu Xiaorou's name, but his hands still did not let go.

"She once told me something very magical. That is... when she holds my hand and makes physical contact with me like you are now, you can feel my mood."

"Bitty, happy, guilty, sad...my mood can be conveyed to her. So I can't hide anything from her."

"At the beginning, I just said some stingy love words, and until the end, I gradually realized that she was not lying to me-"

"Later, she got seriously ill, and I was with her in front of her bed. When I told her about interesting stories for a day, he would always insist that I pull her hand."

"Maybe, no matter how I smiled in front of her, she would know as long as I took my hand."

"Maybe, it is because she has always empathized with the sadness and pain that she said something very hurtful at the end."

"Do you know what she said?"

"She said..." Su Mo smiled at Lu Xiaorou, who was sobbing, "How great would it be if we had never met..."

Lu Xiaorou sobbed and wiped her tears, and choked and said vague words.

But Su Mo already knew what she was talking about.

She remembers these scenes.

Because, she had dreamed of it in her dreams.

Every time she wakes up from this dream, she always gets wet her pillow with tears.

Su Mo gently wiped Lu Xiaorou's tears and said to Lu Xiaorou:

"I have always regretted not responding to this sentence well in my dreams, and I am still very sorry until now."

"If there is still a chance to respond to her again, what I want to say is-"

"I never regretted meeting her."

"And, if there is a next life, no matter where she is at the end of the world, no matter what she becomes, I will definitely give all my energy to find her and meet her again."

"But the difference is that this time I won't just let her share my pain."

Su Mo gently held Lu Xiaorou's hand, "But let me share her pain."

"I hope she can rely on me more."

"Don't worry about making me feel troubled."

"Don't blame yourself, or feel guilty."

"It doesn't matter if I stuff all the pain to me, because I will try my best to bear it for her."

"Because, this is all what I owe her in my previous life."

"At the same time... I owe you all my life."

Su Mo held Lu Xiaorou's hand, bent down, and gently kissed her delicate and clean hand.

At the same time, Lu Xiaorou could no longer help but surge in emotions. Even crying was always just a gentle voice, crying carefully, not daring to disturb others at all. This time, Lu Xiaorou finally burst into tears in front of Su Mo.

ah……

How many years ago did that happen?

Almost since I can remember, she has never dared to cry like this again.
