This Winter Moment

Xu Jianing was born in winter. When she was sixteen, she celebrated her birthday in the snow falling sky. She wanted to wish that Chen Hezhen would like her too. After much hesitation, I still didn't dare. Chen Hezhen is so dazzling, he is the pride of heaven, always the first in the grade, and is beyond the reach of everyone. And she was as ordinary as a transparent person, so ordinary that she didn't even dare to involve him in her birthday wishes. / Xu Jianing has been secretly in love with Chen Hezhen for twelve years. In order to get close to him, she took the initiative to undertake all the tasks of traveling to his city on business. But Chen Hezhen was unmoved. The last time I saw him, his eyes were filled with tiredness: "Xu Jianing, don't come here again." On the return flight, Xu Jianing's eyes were red. It happened that the airline's magazine was calling for articles, so she took up a pen on the plane and wrote down the secret thoughts of her adolescence. She was bullied and isolated at the beginning of her freshman year of high school. She didn't know Chen Hezhen at that time, and the gangsters forced her to confess to him. The young man leaned against the wall and looked down at her casually. She couldn't speak a word, but he suddenly asked—— "Someone bullied you?" Twelve years later, Xu Jianing typed out their ending word by word in the memo on his cell phone. "Chen Hezhen, I finally don't like you anymore. Write it down and I can forget about it. " / Xu Jianing deleted all contact information of Chen Hezhen, thinking that the intersection between the two people was over, but a few months later, her contribution became a hot post that winter. Someone used the details in the article to infer that the male protagonist of the story was Chen Hezhen, a well-known algorithm engineer in the industry. Xu Jianing was heartbroken. After all, he wouldn't care if he saw it. Unexpectedly, she saw Chen Hezhen who was supposed to be two thousand kilometers away after get off work the next night. She wanted to pretend she didn't see him and hide away, but he blocked him under the streetlight. The man asked in a low voice: "Xu Jianing, do you like me?" Xu Jianing stiffly avoided his gaze: "I don't like it." Chen Hezhen's breath was hot and he trapped her in his arms: "Then I can like you again, okay?" His voice was low and hoarse: "You let it go, what should I do?" "The wish I dared not make when I was sixteen will come true this winter."
