The Fourth Most Heartbreaking Thing When You Like Someone (Seven)

  The cold air was filled with the sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, bringing a warm temperature that lingered under Tang Sugar's nose for a long time.

  Tang sugar's gaze chased the enticing aroma and stopped at a nearby roasted sweet potato stall. The aunt selling roasted sweet potatoes was busy with her business, adding firewood to the stove. The fierce flames, like mischievous children, occasionally popped out of the furnace, smiling slyly at Tang sugar, who involuntarily stopped in his tracks.

  Chen Xiaonuan, who was walking beside her, seemed to know what she was thinking and said briefly: "Wait for me!" She quickly ran to the roasted sweet potato stall like a gust of wind, squeezed into the crowd buying sweet potatoes, and came out with a big roasted sweet potato in her hand, looking like a victorious soldier after a fierce battle. With a triumphant smile on her face, she ran towards Tang Sugar and handed her the sweet potato.

  Sugar sugar received it with both hands, the warm temperature of the roasted sweet potato was transmitted, in this cold and arrogant season, it's a bit reluctant to let go. Although it was clearly a cold winter, she felt her eyes getting hot, the frozen heart lake from the previous moment became warm and cozy like spring had arrived, she thought that as long as she quietly placed this unassuming yet fragrant and sweet roasted sweet potato in the palm of her hand, it could warm her for an entire winter.

  Tang sugar cut the roasted sweet potato in half, and only when he was about to eat it did he realize that Chen Xiaonuan had forgotten to bring a spoon. He could only squeeze back into the crowd and explain his situation to the aunt who sold the sweet potatoes.

  The old aunt who had experienced wind and frost listened to him with great impatience, and spat out two desperate words: "No way!"

  "Why?" Chen Xiaonuan asked in surprise.

  "Who knows where you bought the fake stuff, it was definitely not from me." The aunt said with a straight face and a flick of her white eyes, while pushing Chen Xiaonuan out: "If you're not buying, then don't block the way, I still have business to do!"

  Chen Xiaonuan walked out with a gloomy face, and was met with Tang Sugar's smiling face. That smile was like the warm sun in winter, or the clear breeze in summer, it had a magical power to comfort people's hearts. The depression in his heart suddenly disappeared.

  Two people had no choice but to gnaw on the food with difficulty. Tang sugar guessed that her eating posture would not be good-looking, so she pretended to look at the scenery and turned her head away. When they passed by a shopping mall, a large Christmas tree with bright lights was set up at the entrance of the mall. A girl stood on tiptoes to put a scarf around her boyfriend's neck in front of the Christmas tree, and the sweet atmosphere struck Tang sugar, making her forget about the roasted sweet potatoes. She stared blankly at the loving couple, her expression almost envying them to death, until Chen Xiaonuan gently pulled her clothes to wake her up.

  Maybe it's eating that makes people relax, and both of them started talking more.

  "You're afraid of dogs?" Tiantian asked while gnawing on a sweet potato.

  Chen Xiaonuan was taken aback and said with embarrassment: "I was bitten by a dog when I was a kid, hehe!"

  "Dogs generally don't bite people unless you provoke them."

  "I didn't even have time to see the dog hiding, yet I still got blamed?" Chen Xiaonuan said with a wronged tone.

  "It was a mad dog that bit people. When I was young, I saw a poor little cat being bitten by a mad dog, its whole body covered in wounds and blood, it was so frightening!" Even after all these years, Sugar still shudders when she talks about it.

  "You still remember until now?" Chen Xiaonuan's eyes sparkled with a very surprised look, asking excitedly.

  His reaction was too strange, Tang sugar stunned for a moment, "uh" sound, looked at him with some inexplicable look, and continued to say: "I still remember that I brought the injured kitten back home, used Yunnan Baiyao to stop its bleeding, the kitten looked dying, I was worried all night, afraid it wouldn't make it, but when I woke up the next day, I found the kitten nowhere to be seen."

  Tang Sugar suddenly turned his head around, wanting to talk to Chen Xiaonuan, but found that his eyes were covered with a layer of tears, and was shocked: "What's wrong with you?"

  "It's nothing, you're just too moving!" Chen Xiaonuan wiped her face with her hand, wiping away tears.

  "What you said... what will happen to that little cat, I wonder if it will die?" Tang Sugar guessed.

  "It's definitely not going to happen!" Chen Xiaonuan's tone was quite certain.

  "Why?" Tang Sugar suddenly felt he was mysterious and unpredictable.

  "If it's too serious, you won't be able to leave on your own, silly!" Chen Xiaonuan said with a smile.

  Tang Sugar thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement like she hadn't grown up yet: "Yeah." But new doubts popped out of her little brain again: "Then why didn't the kitten appear again later?"

  "How do you know it hasn't appeared before, maybe you just didn't recognize it."

  Tangtang felt that Xiaonu had made a lot of sense, and she looked at him with admiration: "Yes, when I saved it, it was covered in blood and couldn't see its appearance. Even if it stood in front of me later, I wouldn't be able to recognize it!" In the end, she sincerely praised: "Your brain is really fast!"

  Chen Xiaonuan smiled ambiguously and thought to herself: Miss, you're really a bit... stupid!

  Two people walked and talked, the journey seemed especially short. Tangtang felt that they had only discussed the topic of kittens and arrived at the bottom of their own building, feeling a bit regretful, why couldn't the road be longer?

  Two people stood facing each other, reluctant to part ways. Neither of them took the initiative to bid farewell. Finally, it was Xiaonu who saw Tangtang stomping her feet and rubbing her hands due to the cold, and smiled saying: "Hurry up and go upstairs, it's too cold!"

  Tang Tang nodded obediently and walked into the building to wait for the elevator. Just as she stepped in, one stopped right in front of her. She hesitated for a moment before stepping inside, but then remembered something important and ran out of the slowly closing elevator doors, dashing outside.

  When she ran back to the place where she had just parted with Chen Xiaonuan, there was no one there. Chen Xiaonuan had left long ago, without even leaving a shadow behind.

  The freezing rain in the sky had turned into snowflakes at some point, fluttering down gently, making the night sky incredibly beautiful. But Tang Sugar's heart felt an overwhelming sense of loss, and she slowly crouched down to the ground.

  A convenience store nearby was playing a very nostalgic song by Li Yuchun:

  I never expected to meet you

  That year 1987

  The night sky has many twinkling stars

  Love is pure white promise

  I am myself, you are just yourself

  I never expected to meet you

  That year 1987

  Emotions will come easily

  Romance is still very cheap

  Feelings are just feelings, and fun is just fun...

  At the thought of possibly losing Chen Xiaonuan again, Tang Sugar suddenly felt a deep sorrow and couldn't help but bury her head in her knees and burst into tears.

  A hand patted her head gently: "Hey! What are you still doing here?"

  Tang sugar's body completely stiffened, her heart beating wildly, was that... Xiaonu's voice?

  She couldn't believe it and slowly lifted her head, and indeed it was Xiao Nuan! He was looking down at her with a surprised expression on his face, his mouth agape: "Why are you crying?"

  Tang Sugar got up, wiped away tears, but didn't know how to explain. After all, she couldn't tell a boy she had only met a few times that she would miss him.

  She stared at him foolishly, Xiaonu waited for a while and saw that she had nothing to say, so she said: "Then I'll go first!"

  Turned and walked into the darkness.

  Watching him walk away, Tang Sugar thought that some words would never have a chance to be said if they weren't spoken now.

  She watched as snowflakes danced like brave little fairies in the air, suddenly gaining courage and shouting loudly: "Wait!"
