“Then 1 won’t bet with you.”
“You can’t.” Lu An became serious. “Tell me, what would you do if 1 fell in love with someone else?”
Thinking of that scene, Jin Nian’s heart was filled with sorrow. However, she still looked calm. “Nothing much. 1’11 let go.”
“Then will you be sad?”
“Of course I will.”
“If that’s the case, then I deserve to die.”
Lu An held Jin Nian in his arms and pressed his lips against her ear. “1 gave myself six years to leave you and try not to like you. But I couldn’t. During the six years, 1 used alcohol to numb myself every day and tried my best not to think about you. The funny thing was, even so, my dreams were still filled with you. 1 couldn’t help but think about you.”
“Jin Nian, tell me. Who else can 1 fall in love with in this life?”
Those six years were unimaginable.
She remembered that it was winter when Lu An went abroad. It was only a dozen days after New Year’s Day.
At that time, it was only half a month away from the Gregorian New Year, and there were still more than ten days before the Lunar New Year. The students were all on vacation, and the family members had already started preparing for the New Year’s goods. When people went out, there was a happy atmosphere everywhere. The New Year’s atmosphere quietly appeared in this lively atmosphere.
There was no snow in Binhai city that year, but the snow in some provinces in northern China was ankle-deep.
It was not a sudden idea to go abroad. Lu An had been up for this three months ago.
However, he hadn’t put his thoughts into practice yet. He always hoped that there would be room for peace. That was because Jin Nian said that she already had someone she liked.
But what could he change in such a short time?
Three months ago, it was Jin Nian’s birthday on the lunar calendar. Lu An had returned to Binhai city at that time.
Lu An didn’t tell Jin Nian about this in advance. He just wanted to give her a little surprise. However, even Lu An himself didn’t know if this surprise was for Jin Nian or himself.
After a year in university, Jin Nian had already formed her circle. She rarely took the initiative to contact Lu An, but he could get a glimpse of her recent life from her WeChat Moments.
She made a new friend.
She went to see a great art exhibition.
She successfully entered the foreign language club.
She had changed to another dormitory.
There was not a single mention of him in her Moments.
Lu An’s life was so simple that he was a little out of place with everyone.
He drove in and out of the campus in a dark sports car. It was ordinary and was just a means of transportation to him. He bought a house near the school because he didn’t like living with his roommates. He was rarely late for class and he was rarely seen after class. He was hardly interested in anything. Many people took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him, but he always wore a pair of headphones and kept strangers away.
The earphones isolated others from his world, preventing others from entering.
Most of the students from the north were tall. Lu An’s 1.88 meters wasn’t particularly tall, but he wasn’t short either. He had broad shoulders, so those heavy clothes didn’t look too oppressive on him. At the same time, no matter how simple the colors were on him, people couldn’t help but look at him because of his excellent physique.
Winter came early in this place. It was only October but they already had to wear down jackets.
Lu An liked to dress in black and wear a black baseball cap. His legs were long and straight, and he usually liked to wear casual, loose pants. The shoes on his feet were so many that they wouldn’t be the same for a month.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lu An was like a mysterious person. No one knew what kind of music he listened to all year round.
The songs that Lu An listened to varied in style. Whether it was rock, electronic, or heavy metal, he would always play that single on a loop as long as it resonated with his emotions.
There was a period when Lu An liked to listen to a song called ‘Closure’. There was a part of the lyrics that he especially liked:
“Cutting the cord without a word
Oh why
You gave me the things that 1 never had
So why
Would 1 go and leave you like that”
The lyrics seemed to be talking about what happened between him and Jin Nian.
How should we describe Lu An?
That was the age when girls had their first awakening of love. He was too intriguing. Even if he didn’t say anything, he was still the focus of the audience as long as he stood there..
