Second Hand Love Letter

The sun on the winter afternoon made the river sparkle, and Chen Ruoyu brought Shi Ran to a restaurant on the river bank.

The dining peak has passed, and there are not many people in the restaurant. Soothing and melodious English songs hover over the restaurant, and the uniquely designed chandeliers complement the restaurant environment.

The waiter led the two to sit by the window, and the scenery on both sides of the river was unobstructed.

The winter day is always a bit of a unique cold and quiet, and the icy river water is covered with a dense mist, like an ancient painting, but there is a cruise ship slowly approaching.

Shi Ran had an illusion that time and space were interlaced, and couldn't help but watch it. She didn't turn her gaze back to the dining table until she watched the cruise ship out of sight, only to find that there was a skeletonized hand in front of her.

Chen Ruoyu sat upright opposite Shi Ran and handed her mobile phone to Shi Ran.

The menu of the restaurant is displayed on the mobile phone interface. The hands holding the mobile phone are held steady, and the manicured and rounded nails are attached to the transparent mobile phone case, revealing a light pink color.

This is indeed a pair of hands that are beautiful enough to be unforgettable after seeing them.

Shi Ran's brain flashed some fragments of memory cooperatively, and the feeling of her teeth biting her fingertips came from her lips.

"Cough." Shi Ran coughed lightly, and took Chen Ruoyu's cell phone calmly.

Chen Ruoyu only ordered one dish - salmon salad, which seemed to be ordered by accident.

Shi Ran couldn't help frowning, and said, "You don't respect food at all, and they don't have any specialties. I tell you that the barbecued pork here is very delicious, and you can feel better after eating it."

Chen Ruoyu heard the words and asked, "You come often?"

"It's my first time here, but this restaurant is quite famous. I used to order takeout a lot. It's just that since I bought a house last month, I haven't ordered it often, and I have no money in my pocket."

Saying that, Shi Ran gave Chen Ruoyu a sad expression, as if she was going through something painful.

Of course, for a foodie, it is indeed a very painful thing to not be able to eat what you like.

Chen Ruoyu listened to Shi Ran's words and put down the teacup in her hand, "Then you can order all the dishes you want today."

"That won't work. I want to eat too many dishes. If it's AA, wouldn't it be too bad for you." Shi Ran didn't have the habit of taking advantage of others.

But Chen Ruoyu said otherwise: "I'll invite you for this meal."

Shi Ran raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

She looked at the woman who was drinking tea with her eyes down, and seemed to have guessed Chen Ruoyu's thoughts. The fox's eyes were bent, and she smiled meaningfully: "Aren't you afraid that I will make you poor?"

I didn't answer "I'm not afraid," and I didn't answer "I'm afraid."

Chen Ruoyu raised her eyes and glanced at Shi Ran, and said in a light voice, "Come on."

Shi Ran felt that his appetite was underestimated by Chen Ruoyu.

She also didn't distinguish whether the other party was just polite to her, and regardless of whether the person on the other side was her future leader, she looked at the menu in front of her and ordered dishes according to her past taste and appetite.

Char Siew Double Mixed Rice, Pan-fried Chicken Chop, Creamy Cristo, Vanilla Chocolate Double Mixed Ice Cream Balls…

Chen Ruoyu's salmon salad looks out of place in it.

After placing the order, Shi Ran handed the phone back to Chen Ruoyu.

Chen Ruoyu took the phone, glanced at the menu, and clicked to confirm. Shi Ran was taken aback.

It didn't take long for the waiter to come over with the bill and reminded: "Miss two, you may have ordered a little too much, and we think you may not be able to finish it, so we help you cross out the fried chicken chop. is it okay?"

Shi Ran knew that this was indeed his appetite, but he still felt that it was better for him not to take advantage of others. He was about to nod his head and said yes, but Chen Ruoyu interrupted first: "We can finish our meal, please add another serving of barbecued pork rice. Take away."

"Okay, if the two ladies can't finish eating later, we will also provide after-dinner packing service." The waiter nodded politely and re-checked the pan-fried chicken chop.

Shi Ran listened to Chen Ruoyu's words, and connected with the fact that she only wanted a salmon salad, and asked, "So you came to help me move when you were full?"

"Why do you think so?" Chen Ruoyu was puzzled.

Shi Ran: "Otherwise, why would you pack your barbecued pork rice instead of eating it here?"

The waves on the lake glittered in the bright glass. I don't know if it was Shi Ran's illusion. After she finished speaking, she saw an inexplicable smile on Chen Ruoyu's face.

That faint smile, like a small ripple falling on the river by a seagull inadvertently, is fleeting, but it is difficult not to be noticed.

Because Shi Ran had never seen Chen Ruoyu smile, and she had never seen Chen Ruoyu's expression change except that night.

Is what you say so funny?

It actually made the ice cube face smile.

Shi Ran slandered, but was quickly attracted to another incident.

Because it was not the peak meal period, the food was served quickly, and the fragrant barbecued pork was placed in front of Shi Ran by Chen Ruoyu, which stopped Shi Ran's curiosity.

In front of food, what is a secret?

Shi Ran pulled the small casserole closer to him, unceremoniously dug a spoonful of rice, and put it into his mouth along with the meat.

The fragrant and soft barbecued pork mixed with the slightly hard rice burst out with a wonderful taste, and Shi Ran's face was instantly filled with a smile.

"Sure enough, eating in the store is happier than eating at home!" Shi Ran's voice was full of excitement and satisfaction.

The canned beer was opened with one hand in the sound, and the dense bubbles stacked and fell in the transparent glass.

Shi Ran's appetite was just as Shi Yu described it, like a bottomless pit that couldn't be explored.

The slightly fleshy cheeks were puffed up by the food, not like a fox, but like a greedy little squirrel.

Chen Ruoyu looked at Shi Ran in such a quiet way, calmly lifted the teacup in front of her, her cold eyes were slowly melted by the afternoon sun.

"The weather today is much better than that day."

Shi Ran held his cheeks and looked at the sky outside the window, with a blush on his fair little face.

Three cans of beer were empty on the table. I don't know if the food was delicious, or if she had something in her heart, the wine was served faster than the food on the table.

"Do you know how I fell in love with her at that time?" Shi Ran said vaguely to Chen Ruoyu.

Chen Ruoyu knew who Shi Ran was referring to, so she didn't speak, she just put down the fork in her hand.

And Shi Ran didn't wait for Chen Ruoyu to answer, and said to herself the secrets that had been hidden in her heart for all these years: "At that time, a few days after I transferred schools, it rained when I came home from school. Everyone in the class was When we were almost gone, I was distressed at the door of the class when an umbrella stuck over my head."

Shi Ran pointed to the top of his head. Thinking back, she said, "She seemed to be smiling at the time. Anyway, her voice was gentle and gentle, and she said to me, 'Did you bring an umbrella? I'll lend you mine.'"

Shi Ran imitated Song Yi's voice, with a lot of smiles in his eyes, "I thought at that time, this person is really nice, he even gave me his own umbrella when it was raining, and he looked pretty good too, if I How nice it would be to be with her in the future."

After saying that, Shi Ran turned to look at Chen Ruoyu, as if looking for her empathy.

And Chen Ruoyu's eyes did flash with a similar emotion to hers at the moment.

It's a pity that Shi Ran didn't notice.

She drank a little too much, and her eyes narrowed slightly as if they were covered in mist.

"Just with this idea, I chased her for five years. From the third year of high school to the fourth year. It is said that perseverance is the best, but why is it wrong for me to persevere."

"Throw seven coins into the well and it still rattles. I didn't catch anything in the end."

Shi Ran said, as if thinking of something and smiled at Chen Ruoyu: "Oh, by the way, I got it. I got the luggage from the trunk. The car that holds the luggage is yours."

When the words fell, Shi Ran saw Chen Ruoyu put down the cup in her hand.

Chen Ruoyu's appearance is cold, and when she doesn't speak, it makes people feel extra distanced. Shi Ran suddenly regretted telling Chen Ruoyu this.

She doesn't believe that someone can read her mind, and she doesn't dare to hope that someone can understand her.

I just said that it just happened to be emotional, and the alcohol made the mouth out of control.

People like Chen Ruoyu may feel that his speech just now is extraordinarily hypocritical...

It's just that Shi Ran didn't expect her guess to miss the mark.

Chen Ruoyu lightly opened her thin lips, and her words were softer than her expression: "It's the best to break it when you break it."

The afternoon sunlight outside the window rubbed the river and slanted into the window, covering Chen Ruoyu's body with a soft veil.

I don't know if it was his own delusion, Shi Ran felt that today's Chen Ruoyu lost a lot of the cold taste in the past.

She actually understood what she was thinking.

Thinking of this, Shi Ran lowered his gaze a little, and let out a sneer.

The fox-like eyes contained the light, shining with a real and fascinating light.

"Yeah, I think so too!"

With that, Shi Ran picked up the wine at hand and toasted Chen Ruoyu.

Chen Ruoyu also picked up the teacup and touched her.

The music in the restaurant changed one after another, and the waves on the river fell to Chen Ruoyu's back as the sunlight shifted.

Shi Ran lived up to the lofty ambitions she made at the beginning, and ate everything she ordered, while Chen Ruoyu's salmon salad still had one-third left.

Even if you have eaten in advance, you shouldn't eat so little.

Shi Ran held a thin cigarette in his hand, and looked at Chen Ruoyu's back paying the money at the counter, slandering in his heart.

The smoke dissipated in the air with the cold wind of winter, blurring the light reflected by the glass, and the camel coat on Chen Ruoyu's body seemed to have turned into a high school uniform.

The white shirt shone with incandescent light, and under the loose long hair, it loomed out of the young and beautiful figure of the girl.

The sharp plaid skirt hangs over her straight calf, even if the white socks are the length of death just reaching her calf, it can't hide the slenderness of her long legs.

She seems to have been so thin in high school, and she seems to have lost some weight over the years.

Did you have a bad time abroad?

For some reason, Shi Ran remembered Song Yi and the others' chat records in the small group.

Since the two of them have an intersection, does she know the reason why Chen Ruoyu went abroad?

Shi Ran still vaguely remembers that Chen Ruoyu's decision to go abroad was very abrupt at the time. There was a lot of discussion in the class, and everything was said, but Chen Ruoyu didn't pay any attention to it, and no one gave any explanation.

She can see through her own thoughts, but she can't see through her secrets.

And secrets are always the most attractive, especially a fox like Shi Ran who likes to watch.

The winter breeze always had a bleak feeling, Shi Ran turned around and stood under the old ginkgo tree at the door of the store, looking at the fallen leaves and thinking.

The white mist of cigarettes slowly drifted into the air, and the intoxication of alcohol made her look a lot less lonely and more charming.

Suddenly, a golden ginkgo leaf was overwhelmed and fell from the tree.

Shi Ran involuntarily stretched out his hand to catch it, but was intercepted a second ago by another hand that suddenly appeared in sight.

Shi Ran was stunned for a moment, and then his upward squinting eyes filled with displeasure.

She raised her hand holding the cigarette and looked back, but she didn't want to bump into Chen Ruoyu's pupils.

This person did not know when he had already stood behind him, and the arm holding the ginkgo leaf was still hanging in the air.

Those already beautiful pupils were suddenly enlarged in Shi Ran's line of sight, cold and alienated, but so beautiful that people couldn't move their eyes away.

At such a close distance, even the other party's breath could be clearly felt.

And the lip she had plundered and picked, was within easy reach.
