The boy’s height of 1.80 meters made Cheng Nian only able to see his face when he raised his head, but she couldn’t see Li Shubai’s expression clearly when it was turned against the light.

When she walked out of the door, she saw his face that had been turned pale from the cold, and she didn’t know how long he had been standing here.

Li Shubai looked at Cheng Nian and took out an apple from his pocket.

“For you. I thought it must be delicious, so I brought it to you.”

Cheng Nian looked left and right and found no means of transportation, and frowned, “You came here on foot?”

Li Shubai nodded, his eyes drifted down unconsciously.

Seeing Cheng Nian’s pale bare ankles, Li Shubai stuffed the apple into her hand and urged, “Go into the house.”

Cheng Nian held the apple, her heart throbbed with pain, and she felt that Li Shubai was crazy too.

Taking care of the food stall so he doesn’t come to her own birthday party and walking all the way in the middle of the night to deliver something to her.

Is this something a normal person can do?

Aware of Cheng Nian’s doubts, Li Shubai explained stiffly: “I originally wanted to come here earlier, but Yanran suddenly came to me with homework, which delayed me for some time.”

Hearing Tang Yanran’s name, Cheng Nian’s restless heart instantly calmed down, and her expression dimmed a bit.

How could she forget this childhood sweetheart that Li Shubai kept on top of his heart?

Holding up the shiny red apple, Cheng Nian smiled politely, “It’s okay, I have received the gift, thank you.”

The hot air between her lips and teeth made her eyes foggy, and she could hardly see Li Shubai’s face clearly. She only heard him respond, and then said, “Go back, it’s cold outside.”

Cheng Nian forced a smile, turned around and closed the door.

She came here in a hurry and only put on a coat. She felt cold at this moment, and it was the coldness from the inside out.

An indescribable pain grew from Cheng Nian’s body, which instantly froze the blood that was flowing in her body.

Looking at the apple in her hand, Cheng Nian couldn’t help but sneer.

What day is today, Christmas Eve?

[Chinese tradition to give apples on Christmas Eve]

What made Cheng Nian even more angry was, what was she expecting?

Could it be that Li Shubai made a special trip to express his love to her, saying that he loves her so much that without her, it would be like there is no air?

What a stupid idea.

So stupid that there is no medical doctor, so stupid that she is blind for nothing, God gave her another chance, she is simply a big idiot.

How could she forget the tragic end of being close to Li Shubai so easily?

Haven’t suffered enough yet?

Thinking of this, Cheng Nian angrily threw the apple out.

The apple hit the wall with a muffled sound, and the juice splashed and fell onto the snow, like a firework exploding without a sound.

She took a deep breath, filled her stomach with the desolate breath of the winter snowy night, and told herself in her heart: stop here.

Li Shubai and Tang Yanran will go through a happy, ordinary but beautiful life, hand in hand, and there should be no stories about him in my own life.

Back in the bedroom, Cheng Nian took out the camera that had been put away, neatly erased all the photos inside, even took out the hard drive and formatted it.

It seemed like this could get Li Shubai out of her mind.

Outside the door, the handsome young man did not leave.

When he heard Cheng Nian close the door, he seemed to stand there for a while. Then there was a muffled sound, followed by a pattering sound.

The door of the living room was opened and then closed again, and a light soon lit up on the second floor, which was Cheng Nian’s room.

She came down empty-handed, so the muffled sound could only be…

Li Shubai lowered his eyelids halfway, and didn’t continue to think about it.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, so thick that it is almost impossible to see the road in front of him.

After the lights on the second floor went out, Li Shubai held up his umbrella, moved his frozen body, and walked home in a big circle along the road that would not be seen on the other side.

The heavy snow covers up every unspeakable secret, and it may be a person’s life to speak out.

The housekeeper cleaned up the wreckage of the apple early the next morning, although he couldn’t figure out why this thing appeared on the wall.

But trash is trash, and it’s meant to be cleaned up.

This day, Cheng Nian also cleaned her heart, and there seemed to be no trace of Li Shubai.

The New Year is approaching, Cheng Nian followed Su Huiyu and the others to go shopping and buy New Year’s goods, living a very fulfilling life.

In the past years, she would play games, sing at the KTV and play cards with He Yunfei and a group of friends. It seems to be busy but empty, and now it is very interesting to help the family do something.

A month ago, Cheng Nian went to the countryside to visit He Yunfei’s mother, Deng Min.

Deng Min was very close to Cheng Nian, as soon as she came, she heated up the tu kang* and put all kinds of delicious food on the table.

Cheng Nian spent a day with Deng Min in the countryside.

She made up some things about He Yunfei in the army, and even told Deng Min that he had obtained third-class merit in the army.

Deng Min smiled gratifiedly and proudly at first, but suddenly thought of something, she took Cheng Nian’s hand, with a hint of sadness on her face.

“Being able to get third-class merit, he must have worked very hard in the army.”

Cheng Nian’s mind turned quickly, and she said with relief, “Auntie, being a soldier now is different from before. He Yunfei is so smart, so he is naturally outstanding.”

Cheng Nian believed everything she said.

Deng Min nodded with a vague understanding, but there was no less worry in her brows.

When she went back at night, Cheng Nian told He Yunfei about seeing Deng Min, and also sent a few photos with Deng Min. She didn’t know when he will see it.

While looking for photos in the album, Cheng Nian accidentally saw the photo of Li Shubai secretly taken from the previous mobile phone.

Thinking of her going through the trash can in the middle of the night because of this, Cheng Nian was so angry that she wanted to slap herself twice.

What a worthless guy.

Just when she angrily pressed the delete button, Li Shubai’s phone call came over suddenly.

Seeing the caller ID on the screen, Cheng Nian felt like she was being watched.

Pursing her lips and pressing the call button, Cheng Nian tried her best to make her voice sound emotionless, and said softly.

“What’s up?”

The person on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment, then took the phone away from his ear and looked at it, and said in embarrassment: “I made a mistake.”

Cheng Nian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and unconsciously clenched her little hands.

She rolled her eyes, tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and said coldly: “Oh, bye then.”

Just as she was about to hang up, Li Shubai’s voice rang again through the receiver.

“Have you done your homework these two days?”

Cheng Nian glanced at the book on the table that hadn’t been read for a few days, and said with a guilty conscience, “I wrote some.”

Li Shubai responded in a low voice.

There was an eerie silence.

Both of them had nothing to say, Cheng Nian coughed and said in embarrassment.

“Then I’ll hang up first.”
