The best thing in the world is that when I like you, you like me at the same time.
At first sight, she was a test taker and he was an inspector. She was arrested by him due to a failed cheating attempted.
When they met again, she was the class repre...
At night, I sat cross-legged on the couch and listened to him tell different stories, including some about his parents. At that time, his father had returned from studying in the United States and was teaching at University A, in this place his father met his mother.
"How did you meet?" I asked.
She seemed to regret bringing it up, but he couldn't evade me, so he slowly replied, "Back then my mother was his student."
Hearing this, I was stunned.
He added: "When my mother was young, she was very bold and vigorous. Although my father lived abroad for a while, he was always a very conservative person, so after a few years, the two got married."
He summed up the whole story in a few words. Specifically, how bold used to be his mother and how traditional his father used to be, but how those two people got married, he didn't mention.
"and then?"
"Later, they got divorced," he said calmly.
When I finished listening to it, I opened my mouth again, but I was not able to say a word. I always thought it was the death of his father that led to his mother becoming a single mother. I didn't think that love could end before that fateful event.

"After they got married, my mother started working in politics and my father continued to study at the research institute, he basically isolated himself from the world. They started with a simple fight, then they separated and finally got divorced."
"Why?"
"I think a lot of things could play a role: different social circles, opposing personalities, different life goals, different family backgrounds, all of that combined resulted in the separation."
After a while, he added, "Besides, it could have been me." He subtly blamed himself.
"What does that have to do with you?" I was angry.
"I contracted the disease when I was five years old. Adults led me to seek medical treatment. It is very rare for children to contract this disease. The doctor said that I could have inherited it. Because my paternal grandfather went deaf in the middle of his life, my mother blamed it. Grandpa inherited it. "
"My father got angry and said that it was my mother's family who always despised him, for that reason the child had her surname Mu and now that he had something wrong, they also blamed him."
"This was enough to separate them. My mother was always too busy, so I was left in charge of my father."
"One day playing in the pond next to the university library, I suffered one of the episodes and fell into the water, I almost drowned."
"They got divorced right away."
His tone was extremely weak, and when I heard it, I thought he was telling someone else's story.
"How old were you at the time?"
"Ten years old."
At night, through the darkness, I saw Mu Chenghe looking in the direction of the front door, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but his face seemed to be covered by a thin layer of sadness, almost imperceptible.

At this moment, I did not know that behind that story, there was a memory that Mu Chenghe would not dare to mention for life. Even if I still had many doubts within myself, I didn't want to ask any more. Unexpectedly, in his 30s, these past events still haunt him.
What is his identity today? He lives in the house his father left him, he keeps distance from his mother, no matter where mention it, it's just Mu Chenghe, not his mother's son.
Before I went to bed, the electricity finally came. The sudden light brought us back to the real world. I narrowed my eyes somewhat uncomfortably.
Before Mu Chenghe returned to his room, he suddenly said, "Xue Tong, did I tell you that I have a younger sister?"
He surprised me, "... you didn't tell me."
"Later, my mother remarried. She is my stepfather's daughter, she is the same age as you."
Early in the morning, when the storm ended, the sky was as blue as water.
Today is the last day as agreed with Mu Chenghe, to leave or not to leave?
"You were very determined a few days ago, so why are you hesitating now? Did something happen last night?" Bai Lin asked ambiguously.
"You perverted demon," I told her.
"Why perverted? They both kissed. It's normal in the development of a relationship. Did something happen? Did something happen?"
"No!" I declared.
"Oh-" Bai Lin sighed in frustration, "Did he tell you not to go?"
"……Do not."
