If we are separated, it is better not to meet

Chapter 2
01
The weather in early September was still warm, so Han Ying tugged on her backpack and walked to the hotel street opposite the school.Due to her unsatisfactory results in the college entrance examination, Han Ying chose a college specializing in desserts as the next best thing.Since the school is in other provinces, Han Ying made a lot of preparations, but she didn't expect that the date would be wrong.

I can't even cry.

Han Ying checked into the hotel opposite the school with her big bags and small bags. It was not the peak tourist season and there were not many people staying in the hotel. After booking a room and putting down her luggage, Han Ying began to think about how to spend the day.Since he arrived in a hurry, Han Ying hadn't eaten yet and was already hungry.

"Where should I go for dinner?" Han Ying took to the street with a small bag on her back.

After being busy for a long time, she finally calmed down to take a good look at the city.Different from the city A where he used to live, City X is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on the other. The city is small but prosperous.

Han Ying stopped in front of the bus stop, glanced at the stop sign and decided on the route.The reason why she chose this college after failing the college entrance examination was because it was the only school in the same city as her favorite X University. Han Ying looked at the "X University" stop on the bus stop and felt an impulse in her heart. She wants to go to X University to have a look.

Han Ying once read information about X University in the materials. The school covers an area of ​​216 mu, with a construction area of ​​8 square meters and a total investment of 1.6 million yuan.Compared with the X Tower in the photo, the X Tower in front of you is even more magnificent. There are artificial gardens between the buildings, and it looks like an ancient castle from a distance.

Han Ying regained her composure and stopped the boy next to her: "Student, please excuse me."

"Huh?" The stopped boy looked at her in surprise.

Only then did Han Ying look at him, probably because the boy was wearing a knitted jacket with a white shirt, which gave off a clean look overall, the boy's facial features were delicate, and the pile of books in his arms made him look bookish.

"I want to ask what happened to the school cafeteria..." Han Ying was pulled into the arms of the boy in front of her just halfway through her words, and she fell into a daze due to the unexpected touch.

The boy who was embracing her pulled her around in a circle, and books of different thicknesses fell to the ground with a crisp sound.They hugged each other tightly, and she could smell the faint fragrance of green grass on each other.

"Don't look over there..." Before the boy finished his hasty words, he saw Han Ying's slap. There was a loud "pop".

Jin Yu obviously didn't expect that he would be beaten. He stared at Han Ying in a daze and remained silent for a long time.

In the end, Han Ying lost her composure. She took a step back, covered her chest with her hand and said, "Pervert!"

At this time, Jin Yu realized the reason why he was beaten. After a few seconds of silence at a loss, he frowned slightly and explained: "I am not." The serious and serious reply made Han Ying stunned.

Han Ying thought the boy's voice was very nice, just like the sound of a good Lusheng, very crisp.It's just that the boy's denial attitude dissipated Han Ying's goodwill, and she couldn't help saying, "It's disgusting to dare to do it but not to admit it."

Listening to Han Ying's words, Jin Yu's face darkened.Just when he was about to speak, a scream broke the muffled atmosphere. Since the location was relatively remote, there were only the two of them until just now.

"Ah! Abuse, abuse..."

Han Ying covered her ears and looked at the screaming girl behind the boy. The girl opened her mouth and her eyes were bigger than copper bells, as if she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.After screaming a few times, the girl ran away in another direction.

What is behind the boy, why does it make the girl react like this?

Thinking so, Han Ying took a step forward, and when she passed by the boy, she heard the boy's panicked voice: "Don't look!"

It's just that his blocking was slow after all. Han Ying saw the scene behind him. The originally smooth marble was covered with blood, and the large dog that fell on the ground had obviously passed away. in the air.

Han Ying trembled in fright, she forced herself to hold back her nausea and turned her head, and said in a low voice, "It's so cruel."

"That's why I said don't look over there." The boy who heard her murmured softly sighed, took off his knit coat and covered it with the dog, covered it, squatted down and began to pick up books.

Hearing his words, Han Ying stared blankly at his squatting back, and thinking about his previous actions, she couldn't help but wonder if he did that to protect herself?

"I just see you as a girl, and I don't want you to see this." The boy explained as if he had a feeling.

Han Ying couldn't say a word, how should I reply?Thinking of not only mocking him but also beating him before, Han Ying felt a little hot in the ears.

Seeing that she was silent, the boy lowered his head and was about to leave after tidying up his books.

"Wait." Han Ying immediately stopped the other party, and then apologized under his cold gaze, "I'm sorry, that, your coat..."

"That coat can only be scrapped. As for the dog, I will report it to the student union, and they will call someone over to deal with it." Seeing Han Ying's hesitation, he calmly accepted the conversation and turned his back to her He continued, "If you want to find the cafeteria, just walk along the garden on the right." After speaking, the boy continued to move forward.

Seeing that the boy was about to leave, Han Ying quickly stepped in front of him, opened her arms and lowered her head, saying, "Thank you, and also, I'm really sorry."

Seeing Han Ying's low profile, the boy didn't make any trouble anymore, but added: "I don't care, I still have to go to the Academic Affairs Office to find a teacher to deal with the situation here, let's go first."

"Well, if you really don't mind, can you tell me your name?" Han Ying pointed to herself and said enthusiastically, "My name is Han Ying."

"Freshman in law school, Jin Yu." He pursed his lips, his delicate face looked very pleasing in the sun, and left after speaking.

And Han Ying didn't have the intention to stay any longer. She looked at the bulging knitted coat not far away, touched her burning ears, sighed softly, and walked along the garden.

In fact, she didn't know what's the use of asking Jin Yu's name. After all, she is not a student of X University, and the chance to meet him in the future is even rarer. But at the moment when he pursed his lips and turned his head, she couldn't help but want to know ...

02
Compared with the nine courses in high school, college students only need to take professional courses. Han Ying reported that he majored in desserts.

"It's finally ready." Han Ying wiped her face and put down the cream. The cake in front of her was about six inches in size.

Han Ying carefully put the cake into the box, and raised her upper lip contentedly. Because she had misunderstood Jin Yu before, she had always been worried about it. It was not until Han Ying started learning how to make cakes that Han Ying came up with the idea of ​​making cakes to express her gratitude.

After putting away the cake, Han Ying washed her face and walked out of school in good spirits.Today is the weekend, and the school with few people seems even more empty.Han Ying took the bus for half an hour to arrive at X University. Unlike the first time, X University was very lively at this time, and students from various departments could be seen everywhere.

Han Ying walked to the third teaching building belonging to the law department according to the layout of the college.Even if she had been here before, she couldn't help but feel that X University is better than she imagined. The huge artificial gardens and towering teaching buildings all show the majestic appearance of X University.

After walking around various teaching buildings for more than ten minutes, Han Ying stopped nervously. She looked around and wanted to turn on her mobile phone to check the map, but when she took out her mobile phone, she realized that the battery was dead. .

"It's not so unlucky to be possessed by a bad spirit." Han Ying shook the phone wanting to cry without tears, and put the phone back in her bag helplessly, feeling a little confused, what should I do now?
Go home or ask someone for directions?

"You give me enough time."

The cold voice came from behind Han Ying, which startled her. She turned her head to look at the artificial garden behind her.It's October, and there's less residual heat in the air.The crisp sound before came from the artificial fountain in the center of the garden. Since the fountain was still spraying water, Han Ying couldn't see each other clearly, and could only faintly see two people.

Not long after, another person spoke, a male voice: "Sorry, I didn't mean that just now."

Han Ying frowned, feeling that the voice was very familiar, a bit like Jin Yu's voice, could it really be Jin Yu?With this in mind, Han Ying walked towards the artificial garden, and the conversation between the two people continued.

"Hmph, let go of your hand if you really don't mean it."

"and many more."

"Wait, wait, if you continue like this..." The girl's words stopped abruptly at this point.

Han Ying poked her head out secretly, and the boy standing in front of her pulled a girl for a passionate kiss. Han Ying couldn't help but widen her eyes. The atmosphere was very quiet at this moment, only the sound of splashing water could be heard.

After a long time, the two people in front of them separated.Han Ying could see their faces clearly, the boy was Jin Yu, and standing in front of Jin Yu was a very beautiful girl, tall and well-dressed, with delicate and amazing facial features.

The girl wiped her lips in disgust, and glared at Jin Yu with a frown.

Seeing her staring at him, Jin Yu couldn't help becoming a little nervous, and without a word, he held the other's wrist again: "Ji Yun, I..."

The girl interrupted him by raising her hand, and then she opened her mouth and said something in a low voice. Jin Yu stood there in a daze, and let go of the fingers that were holding each other tightly until the girl disappeared completely. Posture Standing in place motionless.

Han Ying sniffled. Being too close to the fountain made her feel a little uncomfortable. She shrank her shoulders and prepared to retreat. Although she came to X University this time to find Jin Yu, the current situation is not suitable for saying hello.

Thinking this way, Han Ying slowly backed away, and accidentally bumped into the stone wall of the fountain with a "bang". Han Ying instantly grinned, guessing that her heel was either swollen or blue.

"Han Ying?"

The sound of the collision caught Jin Yu's attention. When he saw Han Ying clearly and called out his name, Han Ying staggered and fell into the fountain.

Han Ying wiped the water off her face, sat in the fountain pool in embarrassment, looked at Jin Yu and said, "Yo!"

Probably Han Ying's appearance of falling into the fountain was so embarrassing that Jin Yu couldn't help but curl his lips and turn his head away.

"What are you laughing at?" Han Ying was still thinking about how to comfort Jin Yu, but when she looked up, she saw Jin Yu's snickering expression, "Do I look so funny?"

"Yes." He couldn't help but nodded, and then stretched out his hand to pull her up before she was about to speak, "Did you hear everything?"

Han Ying hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded.Although she could deny that she didn't hear it, when she heard his questioning, she swallowed back the lie she was about to utter.

The atmosphere suddenly froze, making Han Ying dare not look up at Jin Yu.

As time passed, he didn't speak, neither did Han Ying.

Since it was already October, the autumn wind was rustling, bringing with it a little cold air, and Han Ying was completely soaked when she fell into the water, and she started sneezing within a few minutes.A series of sneezing interrupted the inherent silence, and finally Jin Yu sighed, took off his jacket and put it on her, and said, "Isn't it cold to stand in the pool?"

"Cold." Han Ying couldn't help lowering her head and responded. She grabbed the coat on her shoulders tightly, and the warm breath came through the wet clothes, and even her heart beat a few times faster.

When Han Ying stepped out of the fountain, she heard Jin Yu's voice, which was calm and gentle: "By the way, are you also a student of X University?"

"No."

"Then your boyfriend is here?" Jin Yu couldn't help asking curiously, meeting once was an accident, so meeting twice should be considered destined, right?
Boy friend?Han Ying was stunned for a moment, then denied, "No, I'm still single."

This time it was Jin Yu's turn to be embarrassed, and he said apologetically, "Today is the weekend, so I thought you were here to find a boyfriend, so..."

"I'm here to look for you." Han Ying looked at him and said softly.

03
"I came to find you."

Jin Yu stared fixedly at the wet girl in front of him. The seaweed-like curly hair was softly attached to her face, and the white and pink top was tightly attached to her body, outlining her beautiful figure. The soft light of early autumn hit her On her face, there was an indescribable beauty.

Han Ying twisted her hair, tiny drops of water slipped down her hand, she said a little embarrassedly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to thank you for helping me last time."

"Yeah." Jin Yu responded softly, and said helplessly after seeing a puddle of water under her feet, "You should change your clothes before saying thank you."

"But..." Han Ying turned her head to look at the cake box in the fountain pool. It was a cake that she had spent the whole morning carefully making, and it was soaked in the water before it could be enjoyed by anyone.

Jin Yu followed Han Ying's gaze and saw the cake box soaked in water. There was no name or trademark. He turned his head slightly and asked, "This is..."

"I made the cake." Han Ying let out a sigh of relief, lowering her eyes to hide the disappointment in her eyes, "I majored in desserts, and I just learned how to make pudding cakes a few days ago, so I want to make you a cake as compensation. "You must know that she has put a lot of thought into making this cake. The high and low gluten flour are prepared according to the perfect ratio, but the finished product is scrapped before anyone eats it.

Even though Han Ying's voice was very flat, Jin Yu could still hear the disappointment inside. He looked at the girl beside him, her thin figure seemed to be broken at the touch of a finger.Jin Yu didn't know what mentality he was holding. After listening to Han Ying's words, he bent down and fished out the box of cakes that were soaked out of shape.

"What are you doing..." Han Ying squatted by the fountain in a daze, watching Jin Yu who picked up the cake, and was stunned before she finished speaking.The gentle and delicate young man picked out a piece of cake with his fingers and put it into his mouth as if no one else was there. The sun shone on his face. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he could see his Adam's apple sliding up and down. Then Han Ying heard him Indistinct voice: "It tastes good, but the water content is too high."

They all fell into the water, can the water content not be high?Although Han Ying complained in her heart, she couldn't stop smiling. She said softly, "Because it's a cake filled with water."

"Thank you." Jin Yu hugged the wet cake box in his arms with a natural expression and didn't mind at all.

Looking at the wet circle spreading on Jin Yu's chest, Han Ying suddenly felt that her heart was hit hard, and a "bang" spread from her chest to her limbs.She wiped the water from her face and fell silent.In fact, she didn't know what to say, but the hot cheeks made her a little embarrassed and uneasy.

"I'll take you to change clothes. I happen to have friends in the drama club. It should be no problem to borrow a set of clothes." Jin Yu turned to look at Han Ying and said.

Han Ying tugged at his coat and nodded in agreement.

"Then wait a minute, I'll call my friend first." Jin Yu walked aside after speaking.

Han-young sneezes, then rubs her nose and sits by the fountain waiting for Jin-woo.

Han Ying, who originally thought it was terribly cold, looked at Jin Yu who was not far away, and suddenly felt that it was not as cold as he imagined. The warm light reflected the side face of the young man, which was both young and mature. He held the phone, mouth I don't know what they are talking about one by one, and the delicate face is somewhat rigid and persistent.

"It's done." Jin Yu turned around and smiled at her, "Let's go, I'll take you to the drama club to change your clothes now, it's easy to catch a cold after a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, she sneezed very cooperatively.

Han Ying sniffed and said half-jokingly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you walk slowly. I feel like I've caught a cold."

Jin Yu frowned, and put his hand directly on her forehead. The hot touch made her a little panicked, but also a little relieved. The next second she heard Jin Yu's voice: "Fortunately, I don't have a fever."

"Just kidding, how can I have a fever so quickly." She patted Jin Yu's hand while muttering, "Let's go, go to your friend's place."

"Okay, go this way." Jin Yu said, picking up the cake box and walking west.

Han Ying said: "Don't take the cake, I'll make another one for you next time."

"It's okay, I'll finish it." Jin Yu smiled at her and said, "Don't you say it's shameful to waste food?"

"That's up to you!" Seeing what he said, Han Ying didn't struggle anymore, but changed the subject, "Is that girl your girlfriend just now? She's beautiful."

When mentioning that girl, Jin Yu obviously paused for a few seconds. He looked up at the sky, then lowered his head and said with a complex and vague expression: "She is the one I like."

She neither said she was a girlfriend nor said no. The ambiguous answer made Han Ying a little uncertain. She stared at Jin Yu for a while, then silently withdrew her gaze and asked, "You seemed to be arguing just now. You don't need to coax her." ?"

Han Ying noticed that Jin Yu's hands were clenched into fists when he asked this question, and he shook his head slightly, indicating that he would not coax him.

"Actually, girls are easy to understand. If you have a quarrel, you hope that the other party can coax you." Han Ying patted him on the shoulder, pretending to be relaxed, "As for me, don't worry about it. In fact, tell me what to do. Let's go, it's fine for me to go there by myself, it's a rare weekend, it's better to spend it with the people I like."

Han Ying obviously hesitated for a few seconds when talking about the latter part. What did this hesitation come from and why did she hesitate? For a while, she was not in the mood to care.

"It's okay, I'll have a good talk with her when I go back tonight." Jin Yu took a deep breath and said to her, "Don't think too much about it."

Han Ying looked at him, and when she opened her mouth to add something, Jin Yu raised his hand to stop her from speaking, looked straight at her with good-looking eyes and said, "Speaking of which is my private matter after all, I hope you don't talk about it anymore. "

The tone was still gentle and polite, but Han Ying could hear a trace of alienation.After thinking about it, Han Ying felt that she was taking too much control. To Jin Yu, she was an outsider, a stranger. After being seen by such a person, no one would want to continue that topic.

But why does she feel unwilling?Why did she have an urge to know what happened between Jin Yu and that girl?
Obviously she and Jin Yu have only met twice, what is this feeling?
04
Han Ying followed Jin Yu into the drama club in a trance, and then Jin Yu found his friend with ease, while Han Ying sat on the stool at the entrance of the club, watching Jin Yu and the others.

"You just borrowed clothes for her?" Jin Yu's friend looked at Han Ying twice, and deliberately lowered his voice.

Jin Yu frowned, obviously feeling the gossip in his friend's words, and nodded, agreeing.

"My boy, you look like an upright gentleman, but you're actually behind Ji Yun's back... Tsk tsk, come on, what's the matter?" Jin Yu's friend blinked at him, his face full of ambiguity.

"We're just friends." Jin Yu immediately showed a displeased expression.

His friend shrugged and didn't provoke Jin Yu any more. Instead, he turned around and greeted Han Ying, "Come with me, I'll take you to change clothes."

Han Ying looked at Jin Yu, and when she was about to follow, she heard Jin Yu whisper: "He's not a bad person, but he has a bold personality. Don't mind what he just said."

"I don't care." Han Ying smiled and followed closely.

After Han Ying was pushed into the locker room, the other party gave her a "ball". Han Ying looked down at the "ball" in her hand. To be precise, it was a dress, with beautiful lace dotting the whole skirt The white and pink looks very good-looking, and the low-cut and narrow-waist design is just right.This is a mid-century European style skirt.

"Well, can I change one?" After hesitating for a few seconds while holding the skirt, Han Ying opened the door of the dressing room and asked cautiously.

"No, because there are a few items left for the performance in the afternoon."

Although Jin Yu's friend said so, Han Ying caught a smile in the other's eyes, which looked like a prank.

Han Ying said "Oh" and retreated to the dressing room.She looked at the European-style princess dress in her hand for a while, and finally put it on.

In fact, in all fairness, this is a very good-looking skirt, of course, the premise is that its eye-catching degree is ignored.

Standing in front of the mirror in the dressing room, Han Ying exhaled, and finally opened the door of the dressing room, only to see Jin Yu in a medieval gentleman's attire.

The tunic with blue borders makes the slender Jin Yu look very handsome, riding boots and leather pants outline his lower body very slender, in the sun, his black curly hair glistens, his bright and warm eyes and delicate face displayed in front of her.

Han Ying moved her fingers, she couldn't help being a little surprised, and said after a while, "Why are you dressed like this?"

"Is it ugly?" Jin Yu tugged at the clothes, and then said, "I heard from my friend that this kind of European costume is the only one left, and he told me that you don't seem to want to wear it, so I think if someone and If you wear one type of clothes, you probably won't be so disgusted." His tone was soft, hitting Han Ying's heart like warm wind.

Han Ying lowered her head silently, looked at her skirt, and said softly, "You look good in it."

"You are also very beautiful, very suitable for this style of clothing."

Han Ying looked up at the smiling Jin Yu. She knew that Jin Yu was just praising her out of politeness, but even so, she was still full of joy in her heart.

"All right, all right, I'll hang your clothes on the balcony outside for you, and now our drama club is going to have a rehearsal, and outsiders are not allowed to stay during the rehearsal." Jin Yu's friend came from the balcony and complained.

Jin Yu nodded slightly at his friend, and said to Han Ying: "It seems that we can only go out for a walk like this. It just so happens that you haven't visited X University, so I'll show you around."

"Well, good." Han Ying looked at Jin Yu and followed him step by step.

X University is not only a university, but also a tourist attraction. Jin Yu is very handy in introducing it. He pointed to a pavilion next to him and said, "This is the Qixi Pavilion. It is said that a senior of the school funded the construction for the teacher and his wife. of."

"There are a lot of people." Listening to Jin Yu's explanation, she couldn't help but take a second look.

It was the afternoon, and the pavilion had already been occupied by couples, and the whole pavilion was filled with a sweet atmosphere.

Han Ying looked at Jin Yu and said, "You didn't mean to provoke me, a single person, so you brought me here on purpose?"

"No." Han Ying's words made Jin Yu realize something, and he immediately explained, "I just followed the road signs, I really didn't mean that." After speaking, his pretty face showed a bit of embarrassment.

"I'm joking." Han Ying stroked her slightly wet hair. She knew that Jin Yu led her here according to the road signs, but for some reason, when she saw couples walking by, she screamed in her heart. accurate.

You have been single for more than ten years, and now you realize that you are dissatisfied?Han Ying thought silently, walking forward and asking, "Where is the next stop?"

"Just go forward."

As soon as Jin Yu finished speaking, a girl walking towards them stopped in front of them. The girl held a camera and said, "Hi, I'm a reporter from the News Department, can I take a photo for you?"

Han Ying looked at the girl in front of her in some puzzlement, and looked at Jin Yu with a questioning look.

After receiving her gaze, Jin-woo steps forward and asks, "Why are you taking pictures of us?"

"Your outfits are very special. Are you wearing them specially to cater to your status as a couple? Our news agency happens to be doing a couple special, so..." the girl fiddled with the camera and said enviously.

Han Ying coughed lightly. Just as she was about to explain, Jin Yu said, "Sorry, we are not a couple. We are wearing this to promote the drama club, so I'm sorry."

Hearing the explanation, the girl lowered her head and looked at Han Ying unwillingly. Seeing that Han Ying didn't respond, she said helplessly, "That's it, sorry to bother you."

Han Ying looked at the girl passing by, then at Jin Yu and herself, tugged at her long skirt and said, "Speaking of which, who is this the first person to ask for a group photo?"

"Well, it seems to be the fifth one." Jin Yu said uncertainly.After speaking, he took out his mobile phone as if checking the time.

But Han Ying guessed that he was waiting for a call or a text message, because along the way, he would take out his mobile phone to check every once in a while.

Jin Yu let out a breath, put the phone back into his pocket again, pursed his lips and said, "It's already six o'clock, I'll take you back to the drama club, I guess the rehearsal is over now, if the clothes are still not dry, I'll borrow a hair dryer for you Blow."

"Okay." She bowed her head and replied, "And...thank you."

"You're welcome."

When he took a step forward, there was sadness in his eyes, Han Ying turned his head to look at the couples in the pavilion not far away, and suddenly felt a sense of envy.
