Xiaobo has been away for a month. Completely disappeared from my world, as if it had never appeared.
When I returned to the city where I had been away for three months, I got this news. Although I tried my best to stay calm at the time, Ye Chen beside me still saw some clues. She held my hand, as if she wanted to convey some strength and courage to me. I curled my lips and almost wanted to open my mouth, but no sound came out. I turned away, not daring to look into her eyes. I know that when Xiaobo and I were together, she was against it, but I always ignored it and laughed it off.
Ye Chen sighed and patted my shoulder with his other hand, "I'm so angry. Not only am I mad at you for being useless, but I'm also mad at myself for why I didn't force you back in the first place."
I bit my lips and looked across the street towards where Xiaobo used to work. His flower-like smile appeared in front of his eyes again. It is as bright as the sun and warms the heart. Just the first time I saw it, the surprise was indescribable. An inexplicable sense of familiarity, like an innate identification that cannot be changed.
Maybe it was the familiar feeling that attracted me, or the smile that bewitched me, like taking a drug. I'm stuck in it and can't extricate myself. But I fell in love with that smile. Like a moth to a flame.
