Xue Zhen had just sent his girlfriend home and was walking back when a familiar voice behind him suddenly called out to him: "Xue Zhen? It's... Is that... You?"

He turned around with a jerk, this person is no other than his girlfriend Xu Na seven years ago, before he could say anything, Xu Na said with a smile, "It's really you, I've been following you all the way, afraid to recognize the wrong person."

Xue Zhen looked at her even a momentary speech, seven years ago when the two were college classmates, they fell in love together, in fact, when the two were very good feelings.

The playground, Xue Zhen every time he played ball, Xu Na will then cheer for him next to him, clapping for him? for him to buy water, for him to wipe sweat; and Xue Zhen will also run a few stations, for her to buy the favorite milk tea, favorite to eat grilled squid.

But near graduation, Xu Na was selected by the school can be sent abroad to study, although Xue Zhen has begged her to stay for their own, but Xu Na is unwilling to give up the opportunity to continue their education.

Xue Zhen was helpless, even if he loved her again, he could not prevent her from pursuing a better future, and finally had to choose to let go of her, and the day she left, Xue Zhen cried like a tearful man outside the airport.

Now seven years have passed, the old love is standing in front of their own eyes, she has just taken off that childish, more mature and generous temperament.

"You... When did you come back?"

"I've been back for more than two years, you still haven't changed much."

"No, it's getting old, are you okay?"

"Fine, how about you!"

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Xu Na proposed to invite him to dinner, and when he hesitated, Xu Na quickly said, "What's wrong, you don't have time to have dinner with your old classmates?"

In the end, under Xu Na's repeated invitation, he still went, and at the table the two unconsciously talked about campus life, instantly pulling them back to the old days.

So the two of them were talking and laughing near the end, Xu Na suddenly asked, "Are you... Are you still single now?"

"No, I talked to one the year before last, how about you?"

"I also talked to one, and then split up."

The atmosphere suddenly froze, Xue Zhen could obviously see the slight loss on Xu Na's face, and after the two had eaten, it was already completely dark.

They took advantage of the faint street light, along the road in front of the hotel and walked a bit more, almost to the end of the road, Xu Na's hand suddenly held his hand.

Xue Zhen's heart first trembled violently, then was a burst of heat, and then slowly pulled away and said, "I already have a girlfriend, don't do this."

Xu Na stopped and looked at him affectionately before saying tenderly, "I know, but I can't forget you."

The two of them were standing at the end of the road, and their girlfriend, Qiao Li, had a clear view of the scene.

Xue Zhen immediately anxiously chased up and said, "Listen to my explanation, she is one of my college classmates, you do not misunderstand."

Qiao Li said angrily: "Just a college classmate? Who are you kidding? She just took your hand."

"I pulled away ah!"

"But you hesitated, did you say so yourself?"

"Yes, I hesitated, but did I pull away."

"Break up, I hate betrayal, this is my bottom line."

Said Shun stopped a cab and left, the next few days no matter how Xue Zhen apologized and admitted his fault, Qiao Li just ignored him.

The next few days, no matter how to apologize and admit fault, Qiao Li just ignored him. And Xu Na did not know from which classmate got Xue Zhen's contact information, these days also constantly send Xue Zhen some ambiguous and tender messages.

Xue Zhen was caught between his new love and his old love, his heart was stirred up, this day he went to a bar with one of his best friends to drink away his sorrows.

The friend saw his appearance, listened to his bitterness and slowly persuaded: "I think there is a saying is very right, when you like two people, choose the second, because enough like the first will not have the second.

Also hope you make a decision early, nothing you want to lose, and ultimately nothing will be gained."

After saying that his friend did not win the wine and left, Xue Zhen sat on the bar of the bar, also fell into a deep thought, until very late he drunkenly out of the bar.

He was just walking out of the bar when Xu Na showed up, looked at him and said, "Why are you drinking so much?"

Xue Zhen lay on the bed feeling dizzy, he patted his forehead, and then stood up hard and went to the cabinet by the door and took a bottle of water and drank it all.

At this time Xu Na but finished showering, from the bathroom slowly out, Xue Zhen was scared immediately awake a few points, which realized that they are now in the hotel.

He looked at Xu Na in front of him, did not say a word, and wanted to escape, but was pulled by Xu Na: "I have been like this, you are so desperate?"

Xue Zhen broke her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I really have a girlfriend, say I am heartless? When you abandoned me for your own future, it seems more desperate!

After saying that he staggered out of the hotel, to the hotel door, his heart was still thumping, a sudden gust of night wind blew him more awake.

Perhaps he has some old feelings for Xu Na, but that is only old feelings, but he has gradually put down after she left the country.

Now her appearance, perhaps after a turn, found no one better than himself, weighing the pros and cons before remembering himself again.

He began to feel that his friend's words made sense, and that now should be the time to make a choice, or else he would really lose everything.

He took out his phone and sent to Xu Na: "I don't mean to offend you, I hope you respect yourself too, we are done, please don't bother me again."

After the message was sent, he deleted all of Xu Na's contact information and immediately ran to the floor of Qiao Li's house, waiting from late at night until dawn.

In the morning, Qiao Li just went out, he was carrying a good breakfast, smiling up and said, "Let's stop, I swear never to have any involvement with her again, have any contact."

Qiao Li looked at his tired and depressed demeanor, took the breakfast in his hand and said, "Sitting all night, huh?"

Xue Zhen nodded gently like a child who had made a mistake, and Qiao Li looked at his somewhat cute and shy appearance and said heartily, "Fool, go back to sleep..."
