"Is it delicious?" Zhang Nian asked directly.

The aroma of butter melted in his mouth, Liu Xiaobai was forced to pretend to be elegant, he was already full, nodded his head and said: "It's delicious, apples, apples and peaches."

"Leave it alone if you can't finish eating."

"No, we can finish eating."

As Liu Xiaobai was talking, he inserted a spoon into the mousse cake. He ate the third bite, staring at the dark patterns on the tablecloth, not knowing what to talk to Zhang Nian about.

The mousse is very soft and does not need to be chewed, but the metal feels very cold, so it hit the tip of Liu Xiaobai's tongue. He subconsciously used his teeth to bite the foreign object in his mouth, and found that it was a very hard metal ring with obvious protruding.

Like—a ring.

Zhang Nian noticed the strangeness on Liu Xiaobai's face, he put down his hand holding the spoon, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Liu Xiaobai shook his head, he hurriedly lowered his face, and spat out what was in his mouth. He was very anxious, wiped it with a napkin, and then looked at Zhang Nian with a face full of surprise.

Finally, I saw clearly that the ring was silver with a big diamond on it, I don't know if it was true or not, but Liu Xiaobai held it up with both hands, he lowered his head and smiled helplessly, then raised his eyes to look at Zhang Nian.

Liu Xiaobai's ears started to heat up, what kind of scene should this be?He couldn't be sure, he hesitated for a long time before squeezing out a few words from his throat: "In the cake..."

Zhang Nian's expression changed from bewildered to calm. He and Liu Xiaobai looked at each other for two seconds, and then laughed relaxedly. He turned around and looked for the waiter, and said, "You guys served the wrong food."

"It's a good thing I'm not a girl," Liu Xiaobai stuffed the remaining piece of cake into his mouth, chewing, his cheeks bulging, "otherwise you wouldn't be able to wash it off even if you jumped into the Yangtze River today. "

After Zhang Nian finished drinking the water in the cup, he put his hand on his cheek and ate a small bite of the cake. He didn't answer Liu Xiaobai's words, but just pursed his lips and smiled casually.

The waiter even called another colleague to come over, and the two of them nodded and bowed, apologizing sincerely. Liu Xiaobai quickly waved his hand and said no, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only accept the consoling gift—roses.

The atmosphere is not relaxed.

Liu Xiaobai raised his hand to remove the hair that was about to stick into his eyes. He followed behind Zhang Nian and said, "Actually, the steak is really good. Sure enough, expensive things have their reasons, but what kind of roses do you want? If I can take it home and give it to my mother, I don’t want it.”

Zhang Nian walked very fast at first, he was walking on the sidewalk beside the street, stepping on the gray floor tiles, he stopped suddenly, and wanted to wait for Liu Xiaobai to walk together, so the two walked side by side.

"If it weren't for my affairs, you wouldn't have been injured, and you wouldn't have left the school team. I was very excited that day, so I said something I shouldn't have said." Zhang Nian's words were mixed with a thin sigh, and his body There is also a beige shoulder bag decorated with leather. Someone is singing folk songs in a roadside bar, and the sound of the guitar is very harsh.

Liu Xiaobai stared at the center of the red flower and shook his head.

Zhang Nian touched the tip of his nose with his fingers, and his bangs were blown up by the wind, floating freely and gently. Therefore, this delicate and beautiful face was fully displayed, and all the expressions on his face were also displayed.

He continued: "But there is no need to stand up for me in the future, and don't do it lightly. I should say thank you to you, but I am also worried, so please don't do this."

"Ah."

The wind blew away the water droplets on Liu Xiaobai's nose, and then pretended that he hadn't cried.

"I'm sorry." This was the first sentence Zhang Nian said after turning around. He and Liu Xiaobai faced each other, looked at him, and lowered his head in shame.

Liu Xiaobai shook his head, his eyes were red, something stuck in his throat, he didn't feel well at all, he could smell the smell of roses, and the wrapping paper in his hand made a rustling sound.

They passed through the brightly lit shopping district, and then walked into the darkness of the old city. The weather was cool and suitable for walking.

They ran all the way to the river.

"Look," the corners of Liu Xiaobai's mouth curled up, and he suddenly smiled unrestrainedly. The lights of the buildings on both sides of the strait seemed to him like fireworks, and he asked, "Does it look like a bride's bouquet?"

"picture."

"If you are really married, will you invite me to go?"

"Yes, but it's still early, there's no need to think about it." Zhang Nian put his hands on the railing, and the black night hanging in the air in his eyes was like a giant curtain that was about to fall.

Liu Xiaobai was not far from Zhang Nian, there was a distance of one meter between the two of them, they didn't smoke or drink at night, the two who were too sober didn't have much to talk about.

The boats floating on the water are decorated with colored lights so that they don't look like boats.

Liu Xiaobai sniffed, his hands dropped, and he carried the bouquet of flowers. He took a deep breath, and finally said: "I didn't think about anything before beating someone. In fact, I shouldn't. I can scold you back. I can't hit people, make you uncomfortable, make your family worry... I have already regretted it, and I often regret it as a person."

His eyes became moist again, Liu Xiaobai was very confused, he turned around and saw Zhang Nian smiling, Zhang Nian said: "Then we don't need to mention these anymore."

"Don't mention it."

Zhang Nian is not a very provocative person, but he made a decisive invitation. He opened his arms and said to Liu Xiaobai, "Come, give me a hug."

Liu Xiaobai was stunned, clenched his hands secretly, a few drops of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, it wasn't because Zhang Nian's invitation was strange or abrupt, they had often hugged each other before.

But those are often caused by Liu Xiaobai's naughtiness, he always jumps up and hangs on Zhang Nian, waiting for him to grit his teeth and get angry, and then let him go with a smile.

Liu Xiaobai tilted his head and said, "Zhang Nian, you don't seem to be quite right recently."

At this moment, there was no softening on Zhang Nian's face. He walked over and hugged Liu Xiaobai very lightly and quickly.

Burying her face on Liu Xiaobai's shoulder, she asked him, "What's wrong?"

"It's just...you've changed. Do you know that you've changed? I don't know, so it's hard to say," Liu Xiaobai could smell the perfume on Zhang Nian's body, and suddenly he was very shy, smiling like a cover-up, and said, " The hug is over, you let me go, I, my flowers are all gone."

The wind is viscous.

Zhang Nian stubbornly allowed the hug to continue for a few more seconds, and said, "You don't know, and I don't know either."

Do not know at all.

On the way back alone, Liu Xiaobai was still holding the bouquet of flowers in his arms. He took the online car-hailing car and silently looked at the back of the middle-aged driver in front of him. He imagined that he was a mysterious and powerful person walking through the night.

Wechat messages came into view one by one, and Liu Xiaobai later forgot what Zhang Nian said again, but what he remembered was the last few sentences.

Zhang Nian said, "I seem to have someone I like."

Zhang Nian asked him, "What should I do?"

Zhang Nian asked him again: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Liu Xiaobai exhaled, he raised his face and looked at the blurred street scene outside the car window.

He said, "Tell her."
