Only one step away

Li Yuan felt that it sounded familiar, and when he looked back, it was the owner of the Chongqing hot pot that Sunan took him to.

"Scratch! You're so young to see me! Can't you recognize me?" The boss still copied the authentic mouth, raised his finger and pointed to the store behind him, "Passing by my store, you don't know me!" Why don't you come and have a meal!?"

Li Yuan was taken aback, and carefully looked at the signboard of the shop. It was indeed the shop he had eaten at before. He was a little surprised. He never thought that this shop was not far from the Imperial Hotel.

"Are you alone today? How old is Sunan?" The boss greeted him warmly, and handed Li Yuan a cigarette.

Li Yuan took the cigarette and smiled awkwardly as a response.

"By the way, Xi Yao said today that she would come over for dinner, just wait a minute, she will tease me." The boss ignored his embarrassment, but warmly pulled him into the store, and then pushed Li Yuan into the shop. He sat down at the usual table, and then neatly ordered several dishes that Su Xiyao liked to eat on the menu, but what Li Yuan liked to eat came second.

Li Yuan felt very embarrassed, just as he was about to leave, he saw Su Xiyao walking in from outside the store, so he could only sit down awkwardly.

Su Xiyao glanced at him, and then sat down. After exchanging pleasantries with the boss, she took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.

"A few days ago, you called me and asked where Sunan was going, what happened?" Su Xiyao asked.

Li Yuan didn't speak, just stared at the bottom of the lively red pot in the middle of the table in a daze.

Su Xiyao sighed and extinguished the cigarette in her hand.Just in time, the dishes ordered by the boss had already been delivered one by one, and Su Xiyao asked the clerk to serve her two bottles of beer.

Su Xiyao opened a bottle of beer for herself first, and then opened another bottle for Li Yuan. Seeing that the dishes cooked in the pot were ready, she put the dishes into Li Yuan's bowl.

Li Yuan was not polite, he put the food in his mouth directly.The freshly scalded dish was extremely hot, even though it was wrapped in sesame oil, it still made his mouth sore when he took it in the mouth, and the chili pepper made him smack his tongue even more.

"It's so hot! It's so spicy!" Li Yuan said, but tears fell down his face.

Su Xiyao looked at him and shook her head amusedly, then pushed the wine in front of him.Li Yuan took a sip of his wine, and tears indeed fell even more.

He couldn't forget Sunan, the man who danced flamenco in the dance classroom, and the man who taught him to dance tango.How could he just let go of the man he loved so deeply?

Su Xiyao had never seen such a gaffe of Li Yuan, so she quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Yuan wiped away his tears, then took a big gulp of wine, and after belching, he confessed the whole thing.

Su Xiyao frowned, and after hearing what Li Yuan said, she sighed. She lit a cigarette, took two puffs, scratched her head desperately, and said, "Estonia, in fact, is the place where my brother wanted to go before. Thinking of Sunan, he said he wanted to escape to Estonia. As for that Xiao Lang, he may not be really in love with him. "

Li Yuan didn't know that it was Sunan's excuse, and it was precisely because he deeply understood this that he didn't expose the other party.

"Li Yuan, do you know about Su Nan and my brother?" Su Xiyao asked Li Yuan while holding a wine glass.

Li Yuan nodded: "I know."

Su Xiyao smiled and shook her fingers: "No, you don't know."

"I have no idea?"

"Yes, not only you don't know, but Sunan doesn't know either."

Su Xiyao's words made Li Yuan suddenly curious. Is there something else about Su Bei that others don't know?

"Su Nan is a person who can't hide things in his heart." Su Xiyao took a sip of wine and said, "Even I can tell that Sunan likes my brother, and my brother with both IQ and EQ is online, how could he not know Does he like himself?"

Li Yuan has heard from Su Nan that Su Bei is an extremely good person with a good personality and high EQ. He has been a popular figure in school since he was a child, and he has become the focus of everyone's attention since he entered university.If we analyze according to Su Xiyao's words, it is impossible for Su Bei not to know the small thoughts in the heart of Su Nan who has been with him since he was a child.

"Back then, there were many girls who chased my brother in school, but my brother only officially got his girlfriend when he was about to graduate from university. Do you know why?" Su Xiyao continued to ask.

Li Yuan shook his head, expressing that he didn't know the reasons.

"That's because, at that time, Su Nan told him that he fell in love with me." Su Xiyao said, taking a sip of wine with a wry smile.

"Ah!?" Li Yuan suddenly felt that his mind was a little out of order, and he couldn't understand Su Xiyao's words even more.

Su Xiyao put a chopstick into her own bowl, and continued while eating: "My sister-in-law is my brother's high school classmate. Although she is not in the same class, she is indeed the secretary of the student union. Later, the two went to the same university together. I study the same major, and I am still in the same class. My sister-in-law has liked my brother since high school, but she is really good at calculating. She never confesses her love blindly like other women, but has been silently I support my brother by my side, and always give the most powerful assistance when my brother needs it most."

"So, your brother married her?"

"If my brother liked her early on, why did he wait until he graduated from university to choose her?" Su Xiyao laughed, "Su Nan shrinks back from his own feelings, so much so that he didn't even realize that in the triangle love, the last The key person is what my brother thinks."

"Your brother's thoughts?" Li Yuan chewed on this sentence repeatedly, and suddenly his eyes widened, "You mean, Su Bei..."

"My brother has always doted on Sunan very much, a little too much." Su Xiyao continued, "Maybe it's because we are family members, so the definition of relationship is a little too vague. Sunan likes my brother, but always feels that , my brother's tenderness to him stems from the family's consideration, and he is my adopted son, so he thinks my brother should marry a wife and have children. So after he realized my sister-in-law's feelings for my brother, So he came to me resolutely and asked me to play the role of boyfriend and girlfriend with him."

"Why did he find you..."

"Because if he finds other girls, those girls won't break up with him easily." Su Xiyao said and laughed, "You have to know that Sunan's harmless character like a little white rabbit back then is still Very attractive to girls."

On this point, Li Yuan agrees with Su Xiyao's statement.

"Because I also liked Sunan at first, so when he approached me, I agreed without hesitation. Not long after that, my brother was with my sister-in-law, and then Sunan graduated and went to study abroad in Argentina. Next As you know, my brother and sister-in-law went to study giant pandas and encountered a landslide, and both died.”

After saying these words, Su Xiyao had finished drinking a bottle of beer, and continued to open another bottle for herself.

"You mean to say that Su Bei misunderstood that you were in love with Sunan, and that's why he was with your sister-in-law?" Li Yuan asked.

"Is there this factor? Although my brother is still very good to my sister-in-law, I always feel that it is just for him to play his ideal image in Sunan's mind. Sunan will never say that I like you, so He never mentioned it. Playing each other's ideal image in each other's mind, my brother's love, and Sunan's love are really rare twists."

"Indeed……"

"So, although this time, Li Yuan, you made a mistake first, but for Sunan, it's a repeat of the past. Why go to Estonia to participate in a dance competition? It's just to regain the memory of my brother. Numb yourself." Su Xiyao suddenly stopped the chopsticks in her hand and stared straight at Li Yuan, "Li Yuan, you have clearly grabbed Su Nan's hand, why did you let go! You and my brother are obviously not the same kind of people , why do you want to repeat the mistakes of my brother!?"

Li Yuan was stunned.

Yes, why did I let go of Sunan's hand?

"Li Yuan, do you still remember the lyrics of the one step short!?" Su Xiyao asked him.

"Por Una Cabeza?"

Su Xiyao smiled and took out her phone, and played the song to him. The familiar melody and lyrics lingered in Li Yuan's mind, full of memories about Sunan.

And until the end of a song, the melody lingers in my head, like a dance that has not been fully enjoyed, always only missing the last step, always feeling lost.As if listening to it, there will always be only one miss.

Slowly widen the distance between us

noble racehorse who won a race by a single step

When it turned around, it seemed to hear it say to me:

'Don't you forget bro, you know you shouldn't bet'

just one step away

A burst of love from that provocative, joyful woman

It seems that apart from her smile and love, there is nothing on her.

Let all my love burn fiercely

just one step away

Full of madness, her kissing lips

swept away all sorrow

soothed all the pain

just one step away

If she forgets me, I will die a thousand times

If she forgot me, why should I live

Trick, trick, one step away

I swore a thousand times and told myself not to sink in again

But as long as she glances at me and chuckles as she walks by

Makes me want to kiss her passionate lips like fire again

If love is like a horse race, that's enough

I don't want to gamble anymore, I don't want to wait for that farewell photo

But if next time a horse wins as sure as it comes Sunday

What else can I do?

I'll still bet everything

Listening to this song, Li Yuan suddenly remembered the time when they danced together for the first time in the post-choreographed PorUna Cabeza. Sunan's dance steps were lingering, but they were still only one step away, just like their love, only one step away.

It's more like in the song: trick, trick, just one step away, I've sworn a thousand times to tell myself not to sink in again; but if next time a horse wins as sure as Sunday comes ; what else can I do?I'd still bet everything on it.

Reminiscing about those lyrics, at a certain moment, Li Yuan suddenly understood something.

Yes, it's only one step away. If Sunan doesn't come, he will go by himself.

This step is not as far away as imagined, he and Sunan are only one step away, he just needs to step forward and grab Sunan's hand, and tell him as always that he loves him, and only loving him is enough.

Homosexuality, heterosexuality, engagement, boss, Subei, Xiao Lang, dance competition, all go to hell!

Seeing this, Li Yuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and Su Xiyao shook his glass and said, "Su Nan went home the day before yesterday and told my dad that he seemed to be flying to Europe today, and then he would stay in Paris for a day before connecting to Estonia. .”

Upon hearing Su Xiyao's words, Li Yuan stood up abruptly, ran out of the hotpot restaurant, stopped a taxi in a hurry, and rushed to the airport.

Su Xiyao shook the last sip of beer in the wine glass, thought for a long time, and when she was about to drink it all in one gulp, the glass was taken away by the owner of the hotpot restaurant.

"You'd better drink less alcohol! Girls! Drink too much, it will hurt your health!" The boss instructed her, and drank the wine in the glass.

"You care about me!" Su Xiyao cursed with a smile.

The boss sighed and reached out to pat her head.Su Xiyao sniffed, stretched out her arms to hug his waist, and buried her head in his arms. Within a moment, she heard a whimper.

"So old, so old." The boss patted Su Xiyao on the back and comforted softly, "It's too old, I'll drink a few more bottles of wine with you and you'll be fine."

Su Xiyao was so amused by his words that she burst into laughter: "Didn't you say that drinking is harmful to your health?"

"Crying in a broken relationship hurts even more!" The boss scratched her nose with a smile, "So the two evils must be taken lightly! It's better to drink!"

Su Xiyao smiled, the sadness was no longer in her eyes, she just snorted in disgust: "Who wants to drink with you, you smell like hot pot!"
