The fire all over the sky reflects many ghosts. The withered branches of trees are like the withered hands of countless ghosts. They want to drag him to hell together.

The tongue of fire slowly licked over, close... Close... Close!

He quietly watched the fire swept up, but suddenly he was dragged. The fire disappeared, the ghost disappeared, and he smelled a little warm fragrance.

Joshua awoke peacefully from his dream.

Before dawn, the pale moonlight came through the gap of the curtain. He grabbed his hair, got out of bed and took a glass of water for himself. The young man was tall and had the appearance of a young man. But his eyes were cold and bitter. He raised his head and drank the glass of water. With this action, the slow movement of the Adam's apple brought out the sharp line between his neck, All the way to the clavicle.

He put down the cup, wiped the corner of his lip with his thumb, half closed his eyes and looked out of the window. The cold moonlight suddenly reminded him of the fire in his dream.

It was a dream he had every night in recent years. At first, it could be called a nightmare. Later, he got used to it. It was just a peaceful repetition of the past.

Some people say that one thing goes through many times, just like adding wounds to the wound, making the pain last forever. But Joshua thinks he is different.

He just got bored.

A thing repeated too many times, in fact, will not let people remember the pain, will only make people numb, indifferent, and then wearisome.

He sat quietly by the window for a long time. When he saw the sky turning white, he picked up his clothes and went out.

He came back to China yesterday, and today he can't wait to see her.

Joshua was waiting outside Jiang's villa. At six o'clock, she saw a little girl come out with a schoolbag on her back. Her long hair covered half of her face. Just as a gust of wind passed, Joshua saw her face. Compared with when she was a child, it changed a lot. She was no longer a round and soft glutinous rice ball, and she was graceful, With a girl's curves and beauty.

But Joshua can still see the trace of childhood from her eyebrows.

He stood by and watched quietly. The little girl walked out of the community. When she saw him, she was stunned and hesitated for a long time before she said, "you... What are you doing here“

So early in the morning, in addition to her need to squeeze the bus to school, no one should get up, right?

She hasn't seen it before.

So this young man with a mask, a cap and a Black Hoodie is very strange.

Hearing her soft voice, Joshua paused and said, "I can't sleep. Get up and take a walk."

Jiang Xu doubts: "how can you not sleep?"

She has to study and do a lot of things every day. She is very tired, so she never can't sleep.

Joshua said, "maybe I miss someone too much."

Jiang Xiu is actually a very introverted child. She never talks to strangers, but I don't know why. When she looks at the person in front of her, she always feels very familiar. She seems to have seen her old friend many years ago, so she's a little more courageous and whispers, "do you miss your mother?"

"I don't want her." Joshua said, "she doesn't like me. Why should I like her?"

"Ah." Jiang Xiu covered his mouth and said carefully, "I'm sorry."

"Nothing." Joshua didn't care. He said, "I think about my fiancee."

Jiang Xu was very surprised and widened his eyes: "do you have a fiancee? You don't look very old

"It was made as a child." Joshua laughed: "when I was very young, I just didn't know if she would admit it now“

Jiang Xu said seriously, "did she bring it up or did you?"

"She."

Jiang Xu said: "then she won't deny it. Since she said it, she must like you very much and will marry you when she grows up."

Joshua looked at her gently and laughed, "really?"

"Yes, yes." Jiang Xu nodded: "of course it's true. I never cheat people."

She looked at the time! It's half past six, little brother. I have to go first, or I'll be late. "

Joshua asked, "how do you get to school?"

Jiang Xu is honest: "to be a bus."

"I'm just about to go out, too." Joshua said, "how many roads do you take?"

Jiang Xu said: "818 road."

"Me too." Joshua opened his eyes and said, "come together."

It was the first time that someone accompanied her when she was in school. Jiang Xu was very happy. She carefully opened her schoolbag, took out a chocolate from it, gave it to Joshua, and said, "here you are, little brother."

Joshua looked at the chocolate in his hand. It was imported and not cheap. It wasn't something Jiang Xiu could get at Jiang's house. He asked, "who gave it to you?"

Jiang Xiu didn't find out what was wrong with the problem, and said, "it was given to me by an uncle who came to my house last time“

Joshua held the chocolate and asked, "why don't you eat it?"

Jiang Xu shyly smile: "because... I can't bear to eat, I haven't eaten chocolate since I'm good."

Joshua whispered, "then why did you give it to me?"

"Because I think you are a good man, little brother!" The little girl turned to him and said, "I want to give it to you."

She looked at Joshua eagerly: "you try to see if it's delicious."

Joshua peeled off the chocolate under her eyes, put it into her mouth when Jiang Xiu didn't pay attention, and said, "I don't like chocolate. Since you haven't eaten it for a long time, try it yourself."

Jiang Xu was a little stunned. He slowly swallowed the chocolate. He narrowed his eyes like a kitten in the sun and muttered softly: "how can anyone not like chocolate... How delicious chocolate is..."

Joshua stopped, and suddenly said to Jiang Xu, "wait for me here."

"Eh?"

Joshua came back soon, with a small box in his hand, a whole box of chocolates. He put it into Jiang Xu's schoolbag and said, "hide it."

Jiang Xu said quickly: "no, no, I can't ask for your things..."

"Nothing." Joshua looked at her and thought, what is a box of chocolates? If you want, I'll give you my life.

"In return for walking with me." Joshua said, "I haven't been walking with you for a long time“

Jiang Xu was confused: "how long is that?"

Joshua laughs: "it's about as long as you haven't eaten chocolate."

How do you know how long I haven't eaten chocolate

"I just know." Joshua's enigmatic smile, "the car is coming."
