Only one step away

Li Yuan left.

Although he didn't believe what Sunan said about falling in love with Xiao Lang, he was sure that Sunan really wanted to break up with him, because he understood what is decisive from Sunan's eyes.

Saying goodbye to Sunan and Xiao Lang, standing alone in the cold wind, Li Yuan felt that life suddenly had no hope, this was the first time he felt this way in the ten years since he left home and lived alone.

Li Yuan didn't know how he drove back home, he washed up mechanically, then undressed mechanically and went to bed.

He wanted to sleep, but forgot to close his eyes.

Staring blankly at the ceiling, everything about Sunan flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

The coffee made by Sunan, the seat adjusted by Sunan, the smile of Sunan, the tango of Sunan, the voice of Sunan, and the Chongqing hot pot that I have eaten many times but still can’t get used to, are all so vivid The answer was in Li Yuan's mind.

Li Yuan raised his hand to cover his eyes, obviously he was in this person's room, but he still persisted, stubborn, he didn't want to be seen to shed the tears called fragile.

For those who are used to the life with Sunan, it is impossible for him to go back.

----------------

Li Yuan, who was thrown back to his original life track by Sunan, continued his usual nine-to-five life, swiping his card to work and his card to leave work.Work was arranged in an orderly manner as before, not to mention, he became a little more amiable in front of his subordinates, but his changes, in the eyes of his colleagues, seemed to be caused by a good marriage.

When he was about to leave work, Li Yuan received a call from Fan Jie asking him to have dinner with him.Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse, but accepted the other party's invitation.

The location is on the top floor of the Imperial Hotel, that luxurious membership-only western restaurant.

Fan Jie, who was sitting by the window, was dressed in fashionable and gorgeous clothes and elegant makeup as usual, but her expression was obviously different from that before the Christmas ball. It was the sweet breath that only a woman who is deeply in love exudes.

"You came so fast." Fan Jie smiled sweetly at him.

"I got off work half an hour early, so there was no traffic jam on the way here." Li Yuan replied politely, and sat across from her, then waved to the waiter and told him to serve the food.

While waiting for the food to be served, Fan Jie took out a magazine from the side bag, on which was written "Best Wedding Venue" in large characters.

"Today, my friends and I have been discussing where to hold the wedding." Fan Jie smiled and opened one of the pages, "The ocean wedding in the Maldives looks very good, tropical style, bikini wedding dress."

Li Yuan listened, but didn't reply, but had a perfunctory smile on his face.

Fan Jie didn't seem to be angry with his reaction, she just continued flipping through the following content, and said with great interest: "There is also a South American-style samba wedding, but my favorite is the wedding under the aurora, the white night wedding, Sounds so romantic."

Li Yuan had a faint smile on his face, and following Fan Jie's finger flipping, his eyes fell on the photo of the blue sea in the magazine.

It was a very special sea surface. The waves extending from the distant coastline divided the sea surface into two, one side was light blue, the other side was deep blue, it was clearly the same sea surface, It looks like two worlds are divided into two.

Fan Jie caressed the photo with her fingers, sighed and read out a line of small words under the photo: "You and I are like the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, destined to meet each other, but cannot be merged forever..."

"That's because the density of seawater is different. As a result, the seawater in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea cannot mix immediately after meeting, so two layers of salty and fresh water will be formed, with a clear boundary on the surface." Li Yuan replied casually.

Fan Jie raised her head and looked at him, surprised: "You even understand this?"

Li Yuan's heart throbbed violently, and he suddenly remembered that this sentence was told by Sunan when he and Sunan were chatting together.At that time, Sunan said that he didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to see the junction of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, but answered everything with a kiss.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand and took the book in Fan Jie's hand. The photo was still published in the wedding venue. The sentence Li Yuan said was also written in the article, but another sentence was written behind it. : "Although the difference in salt content, temperature, and plankton make them incompatible, no matter what the reason is, they are in the same form, the same substance, and the incompatibility is always short-lived. After the baptism of time After all, they still flow to one place.”

Li Yuan closed the book and stood up: "I'm sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."

Li Yuan, who hurried into the bathroom, tried his best to restrain himself not to lose his appearance, but the tears still came out of the frame - he underestimated the influence of Su Nan on him, although he had been forcing himself to be the most ordinary, but Su Where can the imprint Nan left on his life be so easily eliminated?

Li Yuan felt that he was a coward.

He obviously didn't like Fan Jie, but he still agreed to meet her; he obviously didn't want to get engaged to her, but he still used this as an excuse to escape.

Obviously it was a fluke in my heart, and it was obviously because I couldn't refuse outright, which led to Sunan's departure.

Why, until now, are still making such mistakes?

Li Yuan squatted on the toilet in the bathroom cubicle, scolding himself in his heart.After cursing himself inwardly for 26 minutes and [-] seconds, Li Yuan finally walked out of the bathroom and sat back opposite Fan Jie.

The French set meal that he ordered was served, but Li Yuan didn't have any appetite. He looked at Fan Jie, and after hesitating repeatedly, he finally spoke: "Fan Jie, there is something that I haven't told you. "

Fan Jie gracefully put down the red wine she just took a sip of, squinted her eyes, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's about Sunan."

Hearing Li Yuan mention this name, Fan Jie twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, and smiled bitterly: "Did you finally mention this person to me?"

"...You..." Li Yuan didn't dare to continue, he was afraid that he would really irritate Fan Jie, because he knew that the other party was a person with an extremely hot personality, and this often meant that the other party might be suffering After the hit, take some drastic actions.

"Su Nan and I have been good friends for many years." After taking a few deep breaths, Fan Jie continued, "I told him a long time ago that I have a crush. At that time, he also found a destined person for me. People are happy, but they didn't expect it to be like this."

"When did you know?" Li Yuan asked.

Fan Jie sniffed, and said: "Probably the day Xiao Lang came, your eyes kept falling on Xiao Lang and Sunan's body, as if you were about to spew fire. It's clearly the meeting of rivals in love. You looked jealous, and later found out that when you danced with Sunan, Sunan's look was different, that's the look that only people in love have."

Li Yuan was silent, he knew that he was really nervous about Xiao Lang's appearance, it was because Xiao Lang was indeed too special, Li Yuan felt unprecedented pressure from him.

"Li Yuan, do you know? I'm very unwilling." Sister Fan said with a wry smile, "Obviously I met you first?"

Regarding love, Li Yuan didn't know how to explain it.

It's as if Su Xiyao couldn't explain why Su Nan fell in love with Su Bei but not Su Xiyao, even though they were born of the same parents.

"I'm sorry." Li Yuan said, "About my relationship with Sunan, I should have told you earlier, but I was blinded by my usual blindness and arrogance. I thought I could do it without hurting you. , be your dance partner, and keep a distance from friends. For this reason, I not only hurt Sunan's heart, but also you. "

"Even if he chooses to give up on you now, don't I have a chance?" Fan Jie looked at him and asked.

"Su Nan has already occupied everything about me. My bones, my flesh, and even my soul belong to him. I can't divide any of them to other people."

"Really... so unwilling..." Fan Jie picked up the wine glass with a smile, and drank the red wine in the glass. The tears in her eyes were clearly welling up, but she still stubbornly refused to let them go, "Why is it Sunan? ?”

"I'm so sorry. I'd pay any price for this."

Fan Jie didn't speak, she just picked up the knife and fork gracefully, and continued to eat the steak that had already cooled down.Sitting opposite her, Li Yuan watched her cut open the seven-ripe steak and put it into her mouth, feeling extremely regretful in his heart.

"The steak here is still as delicious as ever." After enjoying the last dessert, Fan Jie wiped her mouth gracefully and sighed, "It's just that I won't come here again."

Li Yuan didn't talk to him - because he knew that this was the place where he and Fan Jie often met for dinner.

"Although I'm not reconciled, people's hearts can't be forced." Fan Jie said with a smile, although there was still reluctance in her eyes, but the smile was no longer bitter, "However, Li Yuan, you really want to You have to pay for your carelessness and carelessness.”

Li Yuan stood up and bowed his head deeply: "I am willing to pay any price."

Fan Jie stood up, picked up the half bottle of red wine that was not finished, and poured it neatly from the top of Li Yuan's head, until the bottle bottomed out, she clapped her hands cheerfully, and said: "This is for Sunan, but also for myself!"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the waiter quickly brought several towels and wanted to wipe Li Yuan clean, but Li Yuan refused them all. He let the red wine flow from the top of his head into his neck, seeped into his body, and rushed at him again. Fan Jie bowed deeply, "Miss Fan let the past go, Li is very grateful."

Fan Jie waved her hand and said, "You go. I don't want to see you anymore today."

Li Yuan did not hesitate, and after bowing and apologizing to Fan Jie again, he left the Imperial Hotel.And Fan Jie, who was sitting in the western restaurant, lay down on the table and cried bitterly the moment Li Yuan disappeared.

The waiter wanted to step forward to comfort her several times, but seeing her crying too sadly, he dared not move forward.

After crying for several minutes, Fan Jie took out her mobile phone, made a call, and shouted into the phone: "Feng Zhenglin! You bastard! Come out and drink with me!"

----------------

After leaving the Imperial Hotel, Li Yuan did not go directly to the garage to drive his own car.

There are still signs of Christmas on the windows on the street, and there are still colorful lights hanging on the roads, waiting for the arrival of New Year's Day. Most of the pedestrians coming and going along the way are in pairs. They hold hands, or snuggle sweetly, discussing where to go to watch a movie and eat.

Among the crowd, Li Yuan was the only one, and there was red wine on his head that was not wiped off. Under the cold wind, he was frozen into icicles, and his light-colored coat was full of red wine marks. , let people look, feel so weird.

Li Yuan didn't feel cold, but felt that his hair was a bit uncomfortable. He reached out to take out a face towel to wipe it off, but he didn't want to touch something hard in his coat pocket.

When I took it out, it was a gold velvet box.

At this moment, the sound of Merry Christmas music came from nowhere, and Li Yuan burst into tears. Although he didn't often lose his composure like this, when he saw this box, he really couldn't control it. Own.

Obviously, on that Christmas Eve, Li Yuan wanted to propose to Sunan.And inside the box is the ring used for marriage proposal, which was made by Li Yuan in the jewelry store and left as a Christmas present for Sunan.In order to give Sunan a surprise, Li Yuan didn't dare to ask Sunan's ring number directly, so he secretly measured it with a rope in the middle of the night and took it to order.

However, since I walked out of that room, everything has changed.This ring can no longer wait for its owner.

In grief, Li Yuan kicked the ring back into his coat pocket and continued walking. As for where to go, he still had no plans.

Along the way, there are many prosperous shops, some selling clothes, some selling small accessories, and some restaurants.However, none of these could attract Li Yuan's attention, he just walked forward aimlessly, until someone suddenly grabbed his arm from behind.

"Hey! Li Yuan! Where are you going!?"
