The wind whistled past, breaking one branch after another, rolling up the fallen leaves left by the autumn. The only bright yellow color left on the leaves also faded, dry, shriveled, and scattered in the wind.

Snowflakes fluttered down to the world, and smashed on the faces of pedestrians with pride, showing a smug smile.

Su Qingxu was walking on the main road of the campus holding an umbrella. Looking around, it seemed that only white and taupe were left between the sky and the earth.

Pale, dejected season.

Through the transparent canopy, she raised her head, looked at the gray sky, stretched out her hand, and grabbed a snowflake.

The wind increased its power, roaring and tearing at the umbrella in her hand.

Su Qingxu tightly held the umbrella in her hand, and the snowflake in her palm took the opportunity to escape, melted into water, and hit the ground.

The snow is covered, accompanied by the wind, doing whatever you want in this world.

Su Qing Xu huddled in the black down jacket and continued to walk forward, but the wind and snow blocked her footsteps and prevented her from continuing to walk forward.

She sighed, raised her foot and turned to the right, walked under the eaves of Taste Garden, put away the umbrella, and patted off the snowflakes stuck to the down jacket.

"Strange." She glanced to the left inadvertently and frowned.

The plum tree next to the Garden of Taste did not bloom.

The tree swayed in the wind, the gray-brown branches were empty.

This is her third winter in Qingda, and it is the coldest and longest winter.

On such a snowy day, it was hard for her not to think of Ye Ya who fainted in the snow.

I don't know how she is now.

Su Qingxu picked up the umbrella, opened the thick curtain, and walked into the Taste Garden.

A curtain divides the world into two pieces.

It's icy outside and warm inside.

The windows of various snacks are filled with heat, which is the unique smell of fireworks in the cafeteria.

There were very few people in the Taste Garden, probably because the weather was so bad today that everyone was reluctant to go out.

Su Qingxu, holding polenta in one hand and a bowl of miscellaneous noodles in the other, sat down at the table by the window.

The phone in his pocket trembled uncomfortably.

It was Yan Lai.

"Qingqing, have you arrived at the company?"

There are very few courses in the second semester of the junior year. Su Qingxu originally planned to go to the company today, but Tiangong's lack of beauty temporarily stopped her pace.

Su Qingxu squeezed the hot polenta and said, "No. I'm in the Taste Garden, and it's snowing too hard."

"I'll pick you up?" Yan Lai stood by the window, looking out the window at the wind and snow.

"Okay." Su Qingxu thought for a while, then added: "Wait for a while when the snow is small, you can come again."

Yan Lai responded to her words with a smile, and said, "Okay, then you can eat something to pad your stomach first."

hang up the phone.

Su Qingxu picked up the noodles with chopsticks, and suddenly felt a little dazed, she hadn't come to Taste Garden for a long time.

The last time came was with everyone.

She, Ye Yali, Cui Xi, and Shen Zhiyi.

Now, there are no four people together.

On the day he sent Ye Yali abroad, Su Qingxu knew that Ye Yali would not return to China so soon.

fair enough.

In the last semester of her junior year, Su Qingxu had a very peaceful life. After she got engaged to Yan Lai, she took over part of the company's properties, and Yan Lai also began to take care of some properties that Brother Yan Shi moved back to China. She watched Shen Zhiyi and her brother come together, the two were like glue and sweet, and Su Qingxu was sincerely happy for them.

Everything is happy.

But life will not be so happy.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Su Qingxu was in the dormitory and received a call from Ye Yali's father, Ye Anhe. Ye Anhe only said "Qing Xu, please find Ya Ya" and hung up the phone. .

Ye Yali said that this was the first New Year she and Tao Zhizhi had together, so this year, she and Tao Zhizhi celebrated New Year's Eve together.

Su Qingxu knew something must have happened, otherwise Ye Anhe wouldn't have called her.

She had a bad feeling.

Su Qingxu and Shen Zhiyi and Cui Xi separated for a long time, and finally found Ye Ya who was squatting on the ground and buried his head in his knees in the snow in front of Shanmei Building.

Ye Yali was covered in snow, her face was covered with tears, and her face was a strange red. When she saw her, she cried and said, "He doesn't want me anymore" and fainted to the ground.

Later, Ye Yali recuperated at home for a few days after being discharged from the hospital, and then bought a plane ticket to go abroad.

Before leaving, Ye Yali only said one sentence——

"Don't tell him."

Su Qingxu knew that the "he" in Ye Yali's mouth was referring to Tao Zhizhi.

Su Qingxu was not surprised by their separation. On the day of her engagement, Tao Zhizhi had already explained everything by refusing to accompany Ye Yali.

They can't go together.

Love is there, but how long can love last?

Su Qing Xu faintly guessed that Ye Anhe, Ye Yali's father, also did something. Perhaps it was Ye Anhe's help that led to the separation of Ye Yali and Tao Zhizhi.

But the twists and turns are irrelevant.

The results are already in sight and will never change.

Outside the window, the wind gradually stopped, and the snow fell less.

The big pocket on the left front of the down jacket wobbled.

Su Qingxu opened the screen.

[Lailai: I'm going to the Taste Garden right now. 】

Su Qingxu tapped the keyboard with his fingers, typed out the word "good" and sent it over.

Holding the half-drinked polenta, she stared at the whiteness outside the window.

Taste Garden is very quiet.

"Zhizhi, don't be sad, a young lady like Ye Yali is just playing around with you."

It was the voice from behind her.

Su Qingxu paused while holding the polenta. She turned around and followed the sound, and saw a familiar face.

It was Tao Zhizhi.

Tao Zhizhi was wearing a gray padded jacket and his expression was dark. He held chopsticks, his eyes were blank, and he mechanically picked up the vegetables and put them into his mouth. His hair is messy, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he looks like a chicken coop. His eyes are black and blue, and his chin has a beard. He looks very haggard.

If the boy hadn't called him "Tao Zhizhi", Su Qingxu really wouldn't have recognized him.

Sitting beside Tao Zhizhi was his roommate Pan Mingjun.

Pan Mingjun gestured and chattered: "It's not worth it for Ye Yali to be sad."

"She didn't tell you when she went abroad, obviously she didn't take you seriously."

"Damn, it's just a woman, you can't be so sad."

Tao Zhizhi ate on his own, ignoring him.

Pan Mingjun bumped him with his elbow, "I said, we are almost graduating, you should pay more attention to the graduation thesis, don't make it impossible to graduate, it will be troublesome."

Tao Zhizhi still ignored him.

Pan Mingjun finally couldn't bear it any longer, and threw his chopsticks on the table, hating iron for not turning into steel, "Brother, stay awake, Ye Ya is a scumbag."

His voice was so loud that he immediately attracted the attention of those around him.

The gossip that came from all directions surrounded Su Qingxu layer by layer——

"Tao Zhizhi is so miserable, Ye Yali didn't tell him when he went abroad."

"Damn, Ye Yali is the banker's daughter, the real daughter of the daughter, Tao Zhizhi is just a plaything of Miss Ye."

"Although she is rich, she can't spoil other people's feelings like this."

"Isn't it? I heard that she was the one who chased Tao Zhizhi."

"Wow, Ye Yali is so scum, Tao Zhizhi is too pitiful."

Su Qingxu slapped her chopsticks on the table with a slap. She stood up and walked towards where Tao Zhizhi was, with a cold expression on her face.

The melon eaters recognized her face and shut their mouths.

They don't dare to mess with this big man who has taken over the family business.

Knowing that the boss was here, they shouldn't be talking about the right and wrong in Ye Ya.

Now I regret it, I regret it very much, and even want to scratch my ears just now.

Su Qingxu walked to Tao Zhizhi's table and stopped.

Before Tao Zhizhi could react, Pan Mingjun, who was sitting beside him, stood up, his arms crossed his chest, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Yo, Miss Su."

Su Qingxu glanced at him and ignored him.

Her ignorance angered Pan Mingjun.

Pan Mingjun walked in front of Su Qingxu, squinted her, and said, "What? Miss Su came to fight for your good sister?"

Su Qingxu glanced at Pan Mingjun coldly, and said coldly, "Tao Zhizhi, stand up."

Tao Zhizhi was silent and stood up.

Pan Mingjun was in a hurry, stretched out his hand to block Tao Zhizhi, and said angrily, "Su Qingxu, what are you coming at me!"

An anxious look like a hen guarding a chick.

"Miss Su, please make it clear, we Tao Zhizhi are the victims." Pan Mingjun paused, then provocatively said: "Ye Yali is a scumbag, playing with Tao Zhizhi's feelings, isn't it?"

Su Qingxu looked at Tao Zhizhi, who was being guarded by Pan Mingjun, and laughed angrily: "Tao Zhizhi, you let him slander Yaya like this without refuting it."

He really opened her eyes.

Pan Mingjun snorted coldly, "What I said is the truth."

"Oh? Is it true?" Su Qingxu raised his eyebrows, "Tao Zhizhi, tell me."

Pan Mingjun stepped forward and blocked Tao Zhizhi with his body.

He pointed at Su Qingxu, raised his head, and said indignantly, "What's the matter, come to me!"

Su Qingxu looked at him, the hand hanging by his side tightened, clenched into a fist, Pan Mingjun's noise made her upset, "Shut up!"

There was a chill in the corners of her eyes and brows, which made the surrounding melon eaters hug tightly and shiver.

"Shut me up, you count..." something.

Su Qingxu picked up the bowl of soup with chopped green onion on the table and poured it on him.

The melon eaters covered their eyes and sighed through the gaps between their fingers.

Shura field, Shura field.

Young people, big bosses can't be provoked.

"You!" Pan Mingjun touched the green onion on his face, trembling with anger, he waved his hand in the direction of Su Qingxu.

Then someone grabbed him.

The man squeezed his hand, stretched out his foot, and kicked him to the ground.

It snowed today and the ground was a little slippery. Pan Mingjun sat on the ground and performed a perfect spin.

What a hero to save beauty, wonderful!

The melon-eating crowd almost applauded.

Yan Lai took Su Qingxu's hand, opened her fingers, and intertwined them with hers, "Are you alright?"

Su Qingxu shook his head and looked at Tao Zhizhi coldly, "Tao Zhizhi, I just want to ask you one question, did you break up with Ye Yali?"

Her words touched on something Tao Zhizhi didn't want to mention. Tao Zhizhi closed his eyes and muttered, "Yes."

There was an uproar around.

Su Qingxu glanced at Pan Mingjun, who was sitting on the ground, his face turned pale, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Tao Zhizhi, you make me feel a little sick." After Su Qingxu finished speaking, he raised his head and said to Yan Lai beside him, "Let's go."

"Okay."

Yan Lai took her hand and turned to leave.

Tao Zhizhi was stunned in place, and after a while, he came back to his senses and rushed out.

The ground was a little slippery. After he fell to the ground, he quickly got up, rushed in front of Su Qingxu, stretched out his hand to block their way, "Ya Ya, which country did she go to?"

"You want to find her?" Su Qingxu asked without answering.

Before Tao Zhizhi could speak, she said, "You can't find her."

Tao Zhizhi lowered his head, his nails sunk deep into his palms, his tone was stern, "Ya Ya... will you come back?"

"She will come back." Su Qingxu said, and she didn't say anything after half a sentence.

Hearing this, Tao Zhizhi suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a look of hope, "That's good."

As long as he comes back, he will always wait for her, waiting for her to come back.

Su Qingxu understood Tao Zhizhi's implication.

She shook her head and seemed to sigh: "Tao Zhizhi, you underestimated Yaya and overestimated yourself."

Breaking up is their final ending, and nothing will change.

Su Qingxu knew Ye Yali too well, because the four of them were of the same type.

Tao Zhizhi looked at Su Qingxu blankly, not understanding what she meant.

But Su Qingxu's words made him feel uneasy.

This emotion called "uneasiness" brought out the long-suppressed dissatisfaction in his heart, "Su Qingxu, you won't understand, you and Yan Lai are the same family, but I'm different from Ya Ya."

There are too many things lying between him and Ye Yali.

Su Qingxu looked at him and sighed, "Yan Lai and I, you and Ye Yali are actually the same."

What lies between him and Ye Yali has never been the difference of family.

Tao Zhizhi still does not understand.

That's why Ye Anhe didn't feel comfortable handing Ye Yali to him.

At this time, Su Qingxu had to admit that Ye Anhe was right.

Su Qingxu shook his head, unwilling to say more, "Let's go."

"Okay."

Yan Lai put the hand warmer on her left hand and walked forward with her right hand.

Tao Zhizhi looked at their distant backs thoughtfully.

......

Yan Lai protected Su Qingxu into the car, fastened her seat belt, looked at her slightly dazed, and kissed her forehead, "What are you thinking?"

She just remembered what Yan said when explaining his engagement with Lin Yu—

The other day I met you at the coffee shop, and after I gave you the umbrella, I went home and told my mother about breaking up the engagement.The next day, my mother went to Su's house to dissolve the engagement.

Su Qingxu can still remember how anxious he was when he said this. She raised her eyes to look at Yan Lai and said with a smile, "I was thinking, if I was just Lin Qingxu, we would be together, right?"

"Yes." Yan Lai lowered his head and rubbed her face with the tip of his nose, "We are destined to be together."

The Range Rover drove forward.
