When Le Zhi was a freshman in high school, at the request of her mother, she delivered meals several times to the neighbor who had just moved across the door.
Through the door, she heard the muffled coughing in the room. When she walked in, her eyes went straight into the boy's fiery eyes.
He called her as his mother: "Are you done?"
"No, it's Le Zhi." She corrected hastily.
The boy curled his lips and apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry."
Later, Le Zhi met a bad guy on the way home.
Someone rushed out to rescue her and took her away. When she was panting, the other person only blushed slightly.
That man's eyes were exactly the same as He Mingcheng's.
Le Zhi didn't know the reason why he was pretending to be ill, and he never asked.
The two people, who have no connection in the eyes of outsiders, maintain a secret relationship tacitly.
The nickname that was once reserved exclusively for her mother has gradually become a code word for lovers when they meet each other.
But later.
She went to the lively birthday party as agreed, but was stopped outside the door. Someone passed by and asked if she recognized him.
He shook his head indifferently, like a different person.
"I don't know." He said. A few light words ended the relationship between them that no one knew existed.
-
Seven years later, at an engagement party with another person.
He Mingcheng watched her being intimate with others indifferently, his eyes looking at her as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
She thought he had given up.
But the next night, separated by a door, she was trapped by him and couldn't move.
Outside the door, her fiancé was eagerly looking for her.
Inside the door, breathing was intertwined, and the man shouted "It's over" in her ear over and over again, just like before.
-
At the end of the year after the breakup, Le Zhi spent the New Year in the hospital because her mother was ill.
In the early morning, light snow fell in the sky. She stretched out her hand, and the snowflakes fell on her palm and condensed into small water droplets, slipping from her fingers.
And the streetlights flickering downstairs.
The young man wearing a thin coat had blood at the corners of his mouth, and looked at her tenderly with his eyes. A layer of white snow had already fallen on his shoulders and neck.
"Happy New Year."
"That's it."
