With the cool air and the silent lights, Ding Ge and I returned home.


    When Du Ling saw us coming back, he quickly stood up, greeted us and wanted to go to her room.


    It was just that Du Ling seemed to be putting on a forced smile, feeling that something was wrong with her?


    Before she could ask du ling, she turned around and quickly walked back to her room.


    I wonder, what''s wrong with Du Ling?


    I hope nothing''s wrong.


    I took a long breath and said to myself, "Bring a basin of hot water and soak my feet."


    Ding Ge sat on the sofa with his legs dangling and said, "I''ll wash too!"


    I went to clean the water, tested the water temperature and brought it out. I put it down in front of Ding Ge and said, "You can wash it first."


    Ding Ge giggled and said, "I''m sorry to have you bring me some water for my feet."


    "There''s nothing to be embarrassed about. We''re going to be a family soon." I admit that I have been a little more diligent in getting my license.


    "Why don''t we wash together?" Ding Ge had already taken off his shoes and looked at me shyly.


    "If you don''t mind my smelly feet, I''ll wash them."


    "It''s too late to say no." Ding Ge curled his lips and pretended to be too late for regret.


    I couldn''t help but smile. I sat down and began to take off my shoes.


    Ding Ge''s feet were already in the basin. After taking off my socks, I put my feet in too.


    The water rippled violently.


    One basin, four feet.


    The basin was not big, and their feet were next to each other. One of Ding Ge''s feet was still pressing against me.


    Both feet were soaked in hot water, and the temperature of the water made them feel especially comfortable. Ding Ge and I rubbed against each other''s feet because of the crowding. We deliberately rubbed each other''s toes, like a toe fight.


    The water fluctuated even more, and Ding Ge kept giggling, feeling that the temperature in the room was gradually rising.


    "What are you laughing at?"


    "Itchy!"


    "Why don''t I think so?"


    "You have thick skin."


    "Those who are close to the red are close to the black, and that is also infected by you."


    "Cut."


    After playing for a while, our feet did not move, quietly soaking in the basin, a pair of big feet and a pair of small feet, intimate contact in the water, I looked at the feet of the two people a little lost in thought, I just think that this is life, this is enjoyment!


    "Can we talk about this morning now?" Ding Ge gently shook off her hair, trying to get rid of a strand of hair that was hiding in front of her eyes.


    I was stunned for a moment before I realized what Ding Ge was talking about. I smoothed her hair and smiled bitterly, "What''s there to say?"


    "Tell me, what''s the matter?" Ding Ge glared at me with a gentle arc at the corner of his mouth, giving me both hard and soft.


    "I... Have nothing to say!"


    Ding Ge continued to stare at me, and the arc of his mouth gradually disappeared.


    I sighed helplessly and said, "I told you not to be angry."


    "Not angry." A gentle smile returned to Ding Ge''s face.


    The real life is so beautiful, how can I deliberately think about those painful past, suddenly think of something stuffed in my heart.


    After a while, I said, "At that time, I just wanted to be as far away from you as possible, never to see you again, never to disturb you again. Naturally, there was no hope for life in the future. Most of them would listen to my parents'' arrangement, go on a blind date, and marry a girl. That''s it!"


    I knew that Ding Ge must be very uncomfortable after hearing these words. I looked at her and said, "Ding Ge, are you especially angry after listening to me? At that time, you wanted to pay my debt, but I did."


    Ding Ge didn''t seem to be affected at all. She just smiled and shook her head, "I might have been angry in the past, but not now."


    "Why?"


    Ding Ge thought for a moment and said in a sad tone, "Maybe it''s mature."


    She looked up at me and asked, "What about now? If we broke up now, would you still think so? Are you still thinking the same as before?"


    Ding Ge''s words made my mood fluctuate. I frowned and said, "Ding Ge, it''s all right. What are you talking about?"


    Let''s just talk about what happened in the past and make a hypothesis about what didn''t happen in the future!


    These words made me feel especially frightened, so I naturally didn''t want to talk. I looked at Ding Ge doubtfully, not understanding why she was so interested in this topic.


    "Don''t be stressed out. Just talk."


    "Do we have to talk about this?"


    "There are so many topics, why can''t we talk about this one?"


    I smiled helplessly again, really convinced her. But I really can''t be angry with her, so I really have no choice.


    "It''s not true. It''s just a casual chat. Don''t be so serious." Ding Ge had a spring-like smile on her face, and she gently hooked my foot with her toes, as if she was trying to coax me and comfort me.


    The corners of my mouth curved. Ding Ge can be really like a child sometimes, especially inexplicable.


    "Don''t just ask me to say it. Just say something first."


    "Hmm..." Dinger pouted, her eyes moving mischievously from side to side. After a while, she said, "Okay, I''ll tell you. If we break up this time, maybe we really have no fate in this life. Although fate? Fate? These words are very empty, but after so much experience, we still can''t be together. Maybe we really have no fate. What do you think?"


    Ding Ge looked at me with beautiful eyes, and listening to her words, I felt quite uncomfortable. Knowing that this hypothetical topic is the opposite of reality at this time, or will you feel sad.


    "So, after this breakup, I will accept my fate. I will not be as foolish as I was last time thinking that we will get back together, that I will not be foolish enough to save money to pay you back. Maybe... In the future... I will never be so good to a man, forever." Ding Ge gritted his teeth and said forcefully.


    It seemed that the association was too real, and Ding Ge''s eyes were flashing.


    "Then what will you do in the future?"


    "Once you''re alone, if you fall out of love again, you''ll definitely be depressed for a long time. But this time it''s definitely different from before. It won''t be as silly as a simple little girl who wants to wipe out all her tears, can''t eat anything sadly, can''t sleep. Love seems to be the only thing in life. Losing love means losing everything. Now, I''ve been through so much trouble, haven''t I? Some girls of the same age are even the mother of their children long ago, so naturally, they won''t be unable to live because of the breakup. Even if they will be sad, they can still stand in front of others and laugh calmly. They will also eat and sleep early on time. Maybe, this is growth. Mature people can''t be as simple and stupid as before."


    I don''t know why it hurts to hear dinger say these words. I really regret talking to dinger about such a topic, but after listening to Ding Ge, I couldn''t help but ask, "Will you still get married? Do you still believe in love?"


    "Believe it." Ding Ge replied uncertainly.


    Lifting his breath, Ding Ge finally said to me, "Okay, it''s your turn."


    "I..." At this moment, it seemed that I had to continue this topic. After thinking for a while, I said, "If we break up again, it will definitely be different from what we thought before. Before, I would think that I was the only child in the family, so I would want to get married and have children. But this time, I should never get married again!"


    "Why?" Ding Ge couldn''t help but ask.


    I opened my mouth and smiled bitterly, but I didn''t know how to answer.


    Because, if I really break up again, it will be a devastating blow to me. I have already given all my love for Ding Ge, and I have no more feelings to love others. So, I don''t want to find someone I don''t love for the rest of my life. That would be worse than living alone.


    Ding Ge smiled at me again and asked, "Do you really want to be single for the rest of your life?"


    "Why not?" I opened my hands and asked back.


    Ding Ge smiled and said, "I don''t believe it."


    Why don''t you believe me? I''ve already thought about it. I''ll go away alone and open a quiet restaurant in an unpopular place. Do you remember? As I told you before, I''ve always wanted to open a restaurant with a more artistic atmosphere. It''s not a big place, not noisy, like a girl who has nothing to do with the world. Peace and quiet. The theme is defined as "Curing depression." It''s a warm place for those who are out of love, unemployed, and sad. Not only to cure them, but also to cure me. I go shopping every day, so I don''t have to be too busy, because there won''t be many customers, and I don''t want to make a lot of money, as long as I have enough money for my daily expenses. Then I will guard this little shop and listen to all kinds of stories. I hope those who are in a negative state can look in the other direction of life with a wide range of eyes in this small world and hope that they can be cured when they walk out of this door."


    As she listened, Ding Ge''s eyes began to moisten. She bit her lips and said, "You said it so well. Why don''t we just break up and have a good time with the restaurant? Stay away from the mundane world, stay away from the secular world, so poetic and leisurely, or I will fulfill you, you see?"


    Ding Ge smiled playfully, but my heart was rather bitter. Such a small shop would naturally be accompanied by loneliness for the rest of my life.


    Perhaps, that life wasn''t as lonely as I thought it would be. I would settle down in a leisurely state of cooking, drinking tea and listening to stories, but I could be with Ding Ge when I was around. In contrast, everything else was so light.


    I looked at the girl in front of me and pinched her face forcefully, but I couldn''t bear to put too much force on it. I glared at her and said, "You and I are together, and it doesn''t affect me to open a restaurant like that. There''s no conflict between the two, okay?"


    Ding Ge was stunned, then smiled and said, "It seems so."


    I looked at her again and asked with a smile, "What do you think of what I just said? How about we open a small restaurant like that in the future? I''ll be the boss and you''ll be the proprietress, okay?"
