You take fleeting years for the rest of my life

Chapter 14

?The footsteps of October have completely gone, and November is coming as scheduled.This made Lin Yan feel very panic, because her "curse" is coming soon.

"Lin Yan, is your cough better?" This was what Mo Xiao said to her the most during the first week of November.

"Lin Yan, why did you start to have a stuffy nose again?" This was what Mo Xiao said to her the most during the second week of November.

"Lin Yan, is your cold feeling better?" This was what Mo Xiao said to her the most during the third week of November.

"Lin Yan, wear more clothes." This is what Mo Xiao said to Lin Yan before going out with friends today.

"I wear a lot." Lin Yan, who had been suffering from colds intermittently for three weeks, looked listless at this moment.

"Wearing a few pairs of pants, a few..."

"Two pairs of pants, four pieces of clothes, I'm going to wrap them into rice dumplings!" Lin Yan stamped her feet, looking very irritable.

"Okay, okay, don't be irritable or irritable." Mo Xiao held Lin Yan in his arms and comforted her gently. "It's okay. Look at the sunshine outside. Go out for a walk today and get down to earth. Maybe you'll be fine with a cold."

"Really?" Lin Yan pouted, and sucked hard on her blocked nose.

"Yes. Let's go."

"Old Mo, Lin Yan, this way." Liu Ziran looked at the two people who were looking around in the distance, and recognized Mo Xiao and Lin Yan at a glance.

"You have really nice eyes." Lin Yan said to Liu Ziran with a smile.

"No, it's because your clothes are too eye-catching." Liu Ziran pointed to their couple outfits and said.

"Really." Mo Xiao and Lin Yan looked at each other and smiled.

"Old Liu, is there anyone else?"

"Liu Ru and Wen Liang are still on the way, they should be coming soon. Let's go in first."

Looking at the endless mud flat in front of them, and the people who were digging clams and crabs in the mud flat, the three of them were extremely excited.Without saying a word, they raised their legs and ran into the mud flat.

"Mo Xiao."

Hearing such a familiar voice, Mo Xiao didn't raise his head, "Liu Ru, when did you guys arrive?"

"I just arrived. Why didn't you tell me when you got a girlfriend?" Liu Ru sounded a little angry.

"What a big deal." Mo Xiao raised his head, looked at Liu Ru and smiled slightly.

"Then tell me what is a big deal?"

"What's wrong? I didn't tell you I was angry." Mo Xiao stood up and quickly wiped some mud on Liu Ru's face.

"Mo Xiao, you are too bad." Liu Ru, who was still angry just now, swept away the haze at this moment, and ran after Mo Xiao all over the mudflat.

"Okay, okay, I surrender, I was wrong." Mo Xiao grabbed Liu Ru's hand that was stretched out towards her, and took the initiative to move his face closer and smear some dirt on it.

"It's more or less the same." Liu Ru raised her head slightly, looking very satisfied.

"Mo Xiao..." Lin Yan's cry for help came from not far away.

"what happened?"

Looking at Mo Xiao who ran over immediately, Liu Ru was like a child whose toy had been robbed, she stomped on the ground a few times angrily, but this was a mudflat, so she was honored became a well-deserved "clay figurine".

"I can't pull out my foot." Lin Yan pointed to her sunken right foot.

"Hold on firmly." Mo Xiao grabbed Lin Yan's foot and pulled it out forcefully.

"what!"

Lin Yan's feet were fucked, but all the mud on her feet was thrown on the face of Liu Ru who was walking towards them because of the pulling.

When the two heard the screams, they looked up at the same time, but they didn't know if they didn't see it, and they were startled when they saw it.

Seeing that Liu Ru's face and hair were covered in mud, she couldn't bear to look directly at her.

Looking at Liu Ru who was stunned, Lin Yan hurried forward to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Liu Ru, I'm really sorry. There seems to be a bathhouse here, I'll take you to wash it."

"Go away!" Liu Ru was furious, and pushed Lin Yan away in front of her.

Looking at Liu Ru's angry back, Lin Yan felt very guilty.

"What should I do? Liu Ru is really angry."

Looking at Lin Yan who was a little panicked, Mo Xiao patted Lin Yan's shoulder, "It's okay, we didn't mean it. Liu Ru was just a little angry for a while, and it will be fine after a while."

"I hope so." Lin Yan sighed, and didn't think about digging for clams anymore.

Looking at Lin Yan who was standing there in a daze, Liu Ziran walked over, "What's the matter, Lin Yan, are you tired?"

"It's all right."

"By the way, have you seen Liu Ru? Wen Liang is here, why didn't you see her?"

Lin Yan scratched her head in embarrassment, "Liu Ru is here, that... I just splashed mud all over her body, so she is going to the bathhouse now."

"Oh, it's good to be here. If you're tired, go and rest." Liu Ziran plunged into the mudflat again, and continued to dig clams in the mudflat with great interest.

It was noon, and the four of them finally came out of the mudflat.They came to the kitchen prepared by the mud flat for tourists with a lot of fruit.

"Who among us can cook?" Liu Ziran looked at the big pot of clams, feeling both happy and anxious. "Wen Liang, can you?"

"Me? The king of dark cuisine!" Wen Liang shook his head repeatedly.

"Let's do it with Lin Yan." Mo Xiao glanced at Lin Yan.

"What are you doing?" Liu Ru, who had tidied up, walked towards them.

"Can you cook?" Liu Ziran's eyes were full of provocation.

"I... won't, but I can help them both."

"Okay then, Wen Liang, let's wait for dinner." After finishing speaking, the two left immediately.

"In this case, the three of us will divide the work and cooperate." Mo Xiao looked at the pot full of clams, and suddenly wanted to drag Liu Ziran and Wen Liang back.

"Liu Ru, you are in charge of soaking these clams in water and making them spit sand. Lin Yan, follow me to buy seasonings and vegetables."

"No, I'm going to go shopping." Liu Ru immediately opposed Mo Xiao's proposal.

"Okay then, you and Lin Yan go shopping, and I stay here to soak clams."

"No!" Liu Ru's voice of resolute refusal let people know that this proposal was about to fall through the cracks again.

"Then what do you want? Say it yourself." Liu Ru's successive objections made Mo Xiao a little annoyed.

"How about this, I'll stay here to soak clams, Mo Xiao, you and Liu Ru go shopping." Lin Yan seemed to see through Liu Ru's careful thinking, as the saying goes, a gentleman has the beauty of an adult, so I'll be a gentleman again.

"I don't care." Liu Ru lowered her head and played with her nails, showing no concern.

"What about you, Mo Xiao?" Lin Yan winked at Mo Xiao, and Mo Xiao immediately understood.

"I think it's fine, so be it."

"Then let's go." Liu Ru smiled slightly at Mo Xiao, and the two set off one after the other.

"Mo Xiao, what do you like about Lin Yan?" Liu Ru asked, looking at Mo Xiao who was concentrating on driving.

"As long as it's her, I like everything." Mo Xiao glanced at Liu Ru, with a happy smile on his face.

"Really?" Liu Ru snorted.

"Mo Xiao, does Lin Yan like you too?" Liu Ru who was quiet for a while asked again.

"En." Mo Xiao nodded.

"Why do you like Lin Yan? What's so good about Lin Yan?" Liu Ru flicked her hair irritably and questioned Mo Xiao.

"Like is like, there is no reason."

"How could it not be?" Liu Ru said more and more loudly.

"Liu Ru, what's the matter with you today?" Mo Xiao glanced at Liu Ru, who was sulking at the side, "You're not like this usually."

"I... I'm fine. I'm here as an aunt, and I'm in a bad mood." Liu Ru was a little at a loss for words, and found an excuse to prevaricate.

"No wonder. I understand."

Lin Yan hummed while looking at her mobile phone, and sat quietly on the stool waiting for Mo Xiao and Liu Ru to come back.

But it was really boring, she stared blankly at the clams that were spitting water in the basin, and couldn't help but think of Liu Ru.Thinking of when they met for the first time, Liu Ru served Mo Xiao food, the way Liu Ru looked at Mo Xiao...and Liu Ru's behavior just now.

Thinking about it, she suddenly seemed to understand something, and she was convinced of it, but at the same time she felt uneasy about her discovery.That is - Liu Ru likes Mo Xiao.

"I am back."

Lin Yan, who was in deep thought, heard a familiar voice. She raised her head and found that only Mo Xiao had returned.

"Where's Liu Ru?"

"Oh, she...she felt a little uncomfortable, so she went back first." Mo Xiao looked a little absent-minded.

"Really?" Lin Yan couldn't believe it.

"Yes. What are you going to do with these clams?" Mo Xiao responded lightly to Lin Yan's question, and then changed the subject.

"Spicy stir-fry or boiled in clear soup, you can also make clam pasta. It depends on what ingredients you bought." Lin Yan stepped forward and took the bag from Mo Xiao's hand.

"It's about the same as I thought. I still bought the materials quite well."

"That's good, the two of us will do half of it." After that, the two of them started their own actions.

This kind of vocabulary of "open your mouth when you come to eat, and stretch out your hands when you come to clothes" is really tailor-made for Liu Ziran and Wen Liang. They are sitting at the dining table leisurely and leisurely watching the other two people who are busy in the kitchen.

"Lin Yan, why are you still not well? I'm going to starve to death." Liu Ziran complained while playing with his mobile phone.

"Okay, here we come." Lin Yan wiped off her sweat, and quickly brought out the prepared clams.

"Wow!" Looking at all kinds of clams on the table, Wen Liang couldn't help exclaiming.

"Well, it's really good. The cooking skills of the two of you... are great!" Liu Ziran sighed while eating.

"By the way, where is Liu Ru?" Liu Ziran, who was eating happily, suddenly realized that he didn't see Liu Ru.

"Liu Ru feels a little uncomfortable, so I'll go back first."

"Why are you feeling uncomfortable?" Liu Ziran said, looking at Mo Xiao who was eating sullenly.

"How do I know?" Mo Xiao's tone sounded a little impatient.

"Liu Ru may... You know, girls always have a few days." Lin Yan made up a reason and hurriedly said. "Come on, have a taste of this sauce-flavored clam." Lin Yan brought the plate in front of Liu Ziran.

"Brother Xiao, why don't you eat vegetables?" Wen Liang looked at Mo Xiao who had been eating rice, and couldn't help feeling a little strange.

"Mo Xiao, what did Wen Liang ask you?" Seeing that Mo Xiao didn't respond, Lin Yan poked Mo Xiao with her elbow.

"Ah... what?" Mo Xiao came back to his senses, looking at the three people who were staring at her, she scratched her head in embarrassment. "What are you thinking? In front of delicious food, this is undoubtedly a kind of blasphemy!" Liu Ziran ate with a plate, he couldn't understand Mo Xiao's current behavior.

"No...no...what can I think." Mo Xiao smiled awkwardly.

"Okay. Come, come, let's have a toast together for our successful mudflat trip." Wen Liang stood up holding the cup, encouraging the other three.

"Cut..." Looking at the boiled water in Wen Liang's hand, Liu Ziran rolled his eyes, "Cheers to the boiled water, why don't you make room for clams in your stomach."

"Mo Xiao, what's the matter with you?" Lin Yan said after returning home, looking at Mo Xiao who had been depressed since this afternoon.

"It's okay." Mo Xiao shook his head.

"Really?" Lin Yan sat next to Mo Xiao, holding Mo Xiao's depressed face.

"...En." Mo Xiao stretched out her arms to hold Lin Yan, and after a long time, she slowly let go of her hands. "I'm a little tired, I'm going to sleep first."

Looking at the back of Mo Xiao getting up and leaving, Lin Yan always felt that something was wrong, could it be that Liu Ru said something to her?

Mo Xiao, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but think of what Liu Ru said to her this afternoon.

"Mo Xiao."

"En." Mo Xiao, who was shopping for vegetables, turned his head and looked at Liu Ru who was hesitant to speak.

"Mo Xiao...I like you." After Liu Ru finished speaking, she let out a long breath of relief, as if she had finally lifted a heavy burden.

"What?" Mo Xiao hoped that she heard it wrong, she couldn't believe it.

"I said, I like you, I have liked you for three years." Liu Ru was a little emotional, and her voice gradually choked up.

Liu Ru's confession was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue to Mo Xiao.She has always regarded Liu Ru as a good friend, although she always cares about Liu Ru and treats her well, but she has never liked Liu Ru.She also doesn't believe that Liu Ru will like her, after all she is T, this kind of love requires courage.

"I... I'm T." Mo Xiao looked at Liu Ru with tears in his eyes and said.

"I know, but I don't care. What is the difference between homosexuality and heterosexuality? If the whole world is homosexual now, when heterosexuality appears, everyone will look at homosexuality as they do now. They cannot agree or understand. This is a kind of Fixation of thought."

"But... Liu Ru... I just regard you as my good friend." Mo Xiao was a little at a loss, but she still wanted to tell Liu Ru how she felt about her.

"Really? Then what do you do to Lin Yan?" Liu Ru, who had never shed tears in front of others, let the tears flow freely on her face this time.

"I love Lin Yan." Mo Xiao looked at Liu Ru who was always so strong, but now she was crying like a child, she couldn't bear it.

"Can you...give her up for me?" Liu Ru seemed to be begging Mo Xiao.

"No."

Listening to Mo Xiao's very firm answer, Liu Ru felt as if someone had stabbed her heart with a knife, and her flesh was bloody.

Three years—silent liking, silent caring, silent maintenance, it seems worthless now, but that is her heart, why is she trampled on the soles of her feet now, she doesn't care.

"Liu Ru...you will find someone who loves you." Mo Xiao stretched out his hand, trying to wipe the tears off her face.

"Really? My three years have been exchanged for your words!" Liu Ru threw away Mo Xiao's outstretched hand.

"Mo Xiao, what do you think of me?"

"Liu Ru... calm down." Looking at Liu Ru who was almost out of control, Mo Xiao panicked.

"How do you want me to calm down? I waited for three years, until you forgot Liao Ya, and when you forgot the pain, I thought you would see me standing behind you all the time. However, my waiting paid off. What?"

Liu Ru was a little hoarse, no one would understand how she treated Mo Xiao these three years.When Mo Xiao was drunk, she accompanied her; when Mo Xiao was sick, she was more anxious than anyone else; when Mo Xiao was unhappy, she immediately went to enlighten her and comfort her; when Mo Xiao wanted to drink, she would accompany her to the end without hesitation. Even if she has a bad stomach.

"My waiting...in exchange for your happiness, my end is at an end." Liu Ru sighed long, her eyes filled with helplessness and grief.

Looking at Liu Ru's back as she turned and left, Mo Xiao felt mixed feelings in his heart.She never knew that Liu Ru liked her silently, and she never thought that Liu Ru would like her at all.All of this seemed to come so suddenly, and it seemed to have been lurking for a long time.

Liu Ru, forgive me.To your world, I am just a passerby.
