"Lin Sirou, let me tell you a story." Luo Xiaotang put down his knife and fork, and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"Yes." Lin Sirou replied indifferently.

"Once upon a time there was a girl who was so afraid of water that she would run away as long as there was water, and that was how it went for many years. When she was fifteen, she fell in love with a boy in her class, but unfortunately the boy was very fond of swimming and was on the swimming school team. Hey! Are you listening or not? " Luo Xiaotang looked angrily at Lin Sirou who was staring out of the window, completely not paying attention to the story she was telling him.

"There is!" Lin Sirou looked at Luo Xiaotang, and then took a big gulp of the orange juice.

In fact, Lin Sirou could already guess what Luo Xiaotang wanted to say. But how could a woman who was afraid of men have the courage to love?

"After that, like most girls who have a crush on boys, she peeked at the boy in class and went to talk to him, hoping to get closer, but there is very little to talk about between them, only when the boy talks about his favorite swimming. Gradually the girl began to wonder what the magic of water was to make boys so fond of swimming. One day the girl mustered up the courage to run to the pool and look at the calm surface of the water. The clear water allowed people to see the bottom of the pool. The girl crouched down and slowly stretched out her trembling hand, letting her hand hang in the air for a long time before she gritted her teeth and touched the water with her hand. Suddenly the boy appeared behind the girl and said, "Are you going to learn to swim?" The girl quickly turned around, not knowing why she only nodded at the sight of the boy. The boy laughed again. "Lin Sirou can teach you!" Afterwards, when they had time, they would practice in the swimming pool, and the girl would overcome her fear of water. Even though they weren't married when they grew up! "But it's a good result." Luo Xiaotang drank mouth after mouth of plain water. After saying so much, she started to feel thirsty.

"If you want to tell this story to little girls, remember not to add the last sentence. It will break their hearts." Lin Sirou did not mind.

Luo Xiaotang could feel that Lin Sirou was doing this on purpose. She also knew that it was impossible for Lin Sirou to accept this love just for making up a rotten story. But as Lin Sirou's good friend, she had the duty to help him overcome his fear.

"Don't you have any feelings at all?" Luo Xiaotang looked at the absent-minded Lin Sirou suspiciously.

"Yes, but I can't help it." Lin Sirou calmly spoke out his thoughts, towards his good friend, he did not have anything to hide.

"A person only has one chance to encounter true love in their entire life, and there are even more people who don't have one chance. You don't know how to cherish them." Luo Xiaotang said something that no one knew who had said before.

Lin Sirou pulled up a trace of a light smile that could not even be called a smile.

She also knew that she treasured it, but it was indeed very difficult for her to do so.

"Then I'll tell you another story." Luo Xiaotang's face didn't have any expression, but his eyes were filled with an unforgettable sorrow.

"Yes." Lin Sirou looked at Luo Xiaotang carefully.

"Forget it, this story doesn't sound good." Luo Xiaotang smiled, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a bitter smile.

Lin Sirou lowered her head and drank the orange juice. She could feel Luo Xiaotang's sadness, but since Luo Xiaotang was unwilling to say, even if she forced him to do so, it would be useless.

Luo Xiaotang stared at the coffee in front of him absentmindedly.

"Ding." The automatic door opened.

Luo Xiaotang walked in from outside and the warmth inside the convenience store was extremely contrasting with the cold wind outside. Luo Xiaotang wanted to absorb the warmth inside the shop.

"Welcome." Cheng Feng smiled at Luo Xiaotang.

"Hey." Luo Xiaotang also smiled.

This was a habit of Luo Xiaotang's. She always liked to give her friends beside her English names, regardless of whether others were willing to or not. The reason for this was simply because it was fun and convenient.

"Would you like some hot cocoa? Lin Sirou invites you. " Cheng Feng asked.

He happily accepted the nickname Luo Xiaotang gave him, because it signified that they were friends and not strangers.

"Alright!" Luo Xiaotang leaned on the counter.

Cheng Feng will give Luo Xiaotang a bottle of hot cocoa.

Luo Xiaotang pulled the ring back and took a big gulp of it. After that, he smiled happily: "So warm!"

Luo Xiaotang's face was slightly red, causing Cheng Feng to be entranced from the sight. His face unconsciously turned red, which was a sign that Cheng Feng was interested in Luo Xiaotang.

"Thank you." Luo Xiaotang could feel Cheng Feng's throbbing. This was a public place, this was not good.

"No …" "You're welcome." Cheng Feng turned his gaze from Luo Xiaotang and looked at the purchase order on the counter.

Cheng Feng only laughed without saying a word. It was really awkward for him to talk about this with the people he liked.

"You don't like any of them?" Luo Xiaotang guessed that although she had already passed the age where one daydreamed about, she was still very curious about the love of others.

Cheng Feng did not ask any further. If Luo Xiaotang wanted to say it, she would say it.

What kind of bitterness would there be when he fell in love with a woman who did not even include him in their relationship?

Or could he only be friends with people he liked? What kind of mood did he have to be with her?

Cheng Feng didn't know, after all, he had never had such an experience.

Although this feeling was unbearable, Cheng Feng did not want to give up this opportunity. After all, to him, being able to stay by Luo Xiaotang's side was enough, because he did not want to have to worry about him.

However, this woman had at least fallen in love with him before, so he couldn't be cruel to her.

"Well, see you then." Luo Xiaotang said reluctantly.

Cheng Feng nodded to the two then turned and left, seeing that he had disappeared. Luo Xiaotang sighed and returned to his chair, his expression somewhat gloomy.

"What, you're unwilling to part with me so quickly?" Lin Sirou joked.

"Mm …" But they never seemed to take me seriously. " Luo Xiaotang generously admitted it, but his tone still contained a bit of depression.

"How do you know he doesn't have you in his heart? Maybe I have hidden you in my heart! " Lin Sirou encouraged as he held onto Luo Xiaotang's shoulders.

Since he couldn't do anything substantial, he could only comfort her mentally.

"Don't lie to me. I know, we already …"

Luo Xiaotang accidentally leaked it, and immediately covered his mouth with a regretful hand.

"What!?" What already? Hurry up and tell us what's going on! " Lin Sirou held onto her, unwilling to let her go.

Originally, Luo Xiaotang was prepared to bite the bullet and not say anything, but he was still unable to bear with her coaxing, so he told her about his relationship with her brother.

After a long while, Lin Sirou sat down, and gave a sudden "oh", and then remained silent.

Luo Xiaotang never thought that she would actually have such a reaction. She should at least express herself, why would she stay silent?

Lin Sirou's heart was currently filled with deep sorrow.

She merely didn't dare show it, which made Luo Xiaotang feel even more sorrowful.

Finally, he had gotten to know the man he liked. Even though it was under the influence of alcohol, it was enough to satisfy his admiration.

But now, Cheng Feng was finally fed up with himself … It was torture for any woman with a desire for love.

What's more, it was the simple Luo Xiaotang.

Lin Sirou felt sad for Luo Xiaotang, but he did not dare show it.

Luo Xiaotang had grown up with Lin Sirou and the two of them knew each other very well. How could she not know what Lin Sirou was thinking?

"Hey! What's the big deal? At most, I'll just move on to love again! You've already fallen out of love so many times, and you still don't allow me to fall out of love once! "Don't worry!" Luo Xiaotang said as he held Lin Sirou's shoulder as if nothing had happened to him, as if she had really opened her eyes.

Lin Sirou silently looked at her and wondered, "Really …"
