(Three)

  Before going to work in the afternoon, she couldn't wait to tell Liu Qing the good news of her success. However, Liu Qing was not in the marketing department and hadn't seen her all afternoon. She thought Liu Qing might be busy with business and didn't call her phone. Unable to hold back, she hid in the restroom and first reported the news to her mother.

  "It's only 500 yuan... a five-minute walk, and it's a new house with separate water and electricity. The old man's house is very reliable, introduced by Liu Qing." Mom asked carefully and felt relieved when she heard that it was renting an old man's house. She was happy to have found such a suitable place for her daughter and repeatedly reminded her to be careful not to dirty the walls, not to pollute the kitchen, and not to damage the equipment. When hanging up the phone, Mom still felt a little uneasy in her heart for some reason."

  As she hung up the phone, she let out a light sigh. She had hidden from her mother the fact that she was co-renting with a boy. It was the first time she had ever kept something from her mom and she couldn't find any convincing reason for herself. Her mom would definitely worry if she found out. But why? In her heart, she just felt that the boy who initially looked impatient but later seemed a bit lost was somehow reliable.

  She dialed the number again, but it was busy on the other end. She let out a sigh and put her phone back in the pocket of her black skirt, heading back to the office. Sitting in front of the computer, she remembered that she had agreed with the boy to sign the contract tomorrow, and this weekend they could move in together. But at this moment, she felt a little lost and wondered if it was right to be so impulsive. How could she live with a man under the same roof? This didn't conform to her family's teachings and her own persistence since childhood.

  Suddenly, she felt as if she had been struck by something and her heart skipped a beat. She suddenly understood that the iron door was open, and what was originally going to escape from her saw the boy wearing a blue shirt casually on his body, and she was stunned. He said: "I am Liu Lifen's grandson, this house is two rooms and one hall, but only rent one room, bathroom and kitchen are shared." Seeing that she didn't have much enthusiastic response, the boy said again: "Because it's a shared rental, water and electricity are included for 500 yuan. My name is Ye Keren, what about you?" His tone was very firm, as if he had already determined that she would agree.

  In fact, she nodded and left her name and phone number, and also remembered the boy's name: Ye Kengran. She knew that she could find his name in Yongyule as well.

  Four years of college weren't without guys who pursued her and made her heart flutter, but they all ended quietly. There was a tall boy named Huang Hai who once asked her to be his girlfriend by the lake on campus. She simply said, "We're still young." The boy later transferred schools and left the city for Beijing. Before leaving, he gave her a long letter with a sentence that she remembered vividly for many years: "Your eyes are always looking at a place I can't see; it seems like there's someone living in your heart who I don't know. Others can't enter your line of sight or live in your heart."

  At this moment, she suddenly realized that the beautiful sunset of sixteen years ago had let a person wearing blue clothes live in her heart. Although she could say that she knew nothing about him, the only clue was his blue shirt and black shorts. So every boy who has these two conditions can make her heart move, and this conclusion makes her a little cry and laugh.
