In the secluded night, the stars scattered among the lead fog shimmered with dazzling light, and a vast sea of stars was faintly reflected in the blue waves connected with clouds and water. Zhou Huixi went straight to the shadow of the dense barrier under the Fa Tong. The mottled starlight gradually converged into beams of slender light under the cool moonlight, and those scattered lights fell on her fair face under the shade of the tung tree, Zhou Huixi stood quietly in the moonlight like water with a smile, the motionless shadow and the sea of stars behind him were frozen in the water, just like Venus, the god of beauty in Greek mythology, lingering in the mirror.

In front of her Zhou Huixi, even the moonlight was very shy, the girl looked down at the phone screen, raised her face again, and her eyes were faintly reflected in the water light of the stars and moon. In the glowing waves of the stars and the moon, overlapping beams of light staggered and fell into the girl's eyes. The girl lowered her head, and her eyes were an inch shorter in focus.

The torrential rain outside the window is a wave that has not subsided, and another wave has been lifted. The world inside the window is so dull that you forget to breathe. Liang Xia ran lightly to the window, raised his hand and gently lowered the window lock, and then ran back to the bed in three steps and two steps.

One after another, one after another, again and again, no matter how big the storm was for several days, it could not resist the urgency of the strange thing to rush to the bosom of July.

Liang Xia lazily collapsed in the purple hole of Simmons's mattress, her small fingers gently twisted the two corners of the book, she was bored while flipping the folded pages marked with a dark red water-based pen, while shaking the pair of long jade legs, under the mixed face, the speed of turning the book was comparable to the speed of the wind blowing off the wood. Liang Xia sighed lightly, her eyebrows and eyes frowned, and even her eyes that were as clear as grapes moved left and right, and this uneasy posture alone seemed to be a preoccupation. "Bored," Liang Xia muttered quietly, and put the book into a canvas schoolbag on the bed.

The sound of a porcelain cup hitting a glass coffee table was heard in my ears.

July sat at the small table under the blinds, the scattered aroma of milk tea gradually wet July's beautiful eyelashes, she closed her eyes, reached out to rub her sore eyes, and continued to stare at the dark phone screen.

"I really can't guess the brain circuit of this product, and I send dolls every day. Is it a panic to burn with too much money, or what kind of meaning can so many dolls put in one place? I guess this man must have a sharp mouth and fangs, but in terms of scheming, it is a pig with a machine gun, and he can't suddenly reach the punctuality, which is not sure if he is wearing modern clothes and imprisoning his brain in the Middle Ages. 19. In July, I searched the Internet for what 19 can represent. "Liang Xia kept searching, and there were words in his mouth. "What do 19 cursed dolls mean. Hey, I can't find out a flower when I look at it, it's not that meaning, why does she still want to harm people a few times. As for being so relentless?"

"I added Zhou Huixi's Weibo in the first two days, and this insinuation is all swearing, I don't want a Qingyi honor student to be so sour in private, so who is she going to show her domineering appearance all day long, is she making a show? Forget your business, but I'm worried about you, I haven't had so many things to do myself?"

Liang Xia finally threw the mobile phone far away to the corner of the bed, and then hurriedly spread out a carved silk quilt with intricate petals printed on pieces that could not be named. She shrunk her already petite body inward, and the quilt was big enough to fit a second her.

"In July, I think these people are not very clever, and they haven't made any big moves until now. That's the kind of person who can surround the front and back like a fly. People who worry less than eating radishes first hate this kind of smart-looking, stupid-bellied guy the most. No matter how much credit a person like this asks for merit and how much merit she invites, do you think she will be able to get a reward? I'm afraid that in the end, she won't understand what is going on, and she will get a fishy smell. ”

"Forget it, it's enough to be ourselves, and don't guess, I don't call the numbers game in Xia Qiyue. This is something that can't be touched, we guess every day, if we can practice Goldbach's conjecture, we won't lose, I'm afraid that the limited time will be exhausted in the end but still confused, maybe the other party can't wait to make us speculate, watching us focus on such a stupid thing to catch the wind and shadows, this is not in the other party's arms. People hide in the shadows, maybe this is to make me angry, or maybe they want to use these things to test my temperament. It's a pity that my head is small, and my nerves are not big, and even if I am big, I don't have to tear my throat with people all day long. If you tear someone apart, you should also look at the other party's door and find out her number of horses. July said lightly, and the corners of his eyebrows flashed a similar smile almost at the same moment. "It's an instinctive reaction to blow out your temper, but it's the ability to take the instinct back to your stomach and make a gesture as indifferent. This is the difference between instinct and ability. I still get experience from books. ”

"Yes? You know that. Liang Xia exclaimed in surprise.

"But understanding and using are two different things. Liang Xia's stunned pestle was in the quilt, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"But I see that you are clearly a blank sheet of paper, and your joys, angers, sorrows and joys are always clearly expressed on your face. You must know that you are not an ordinary blank sheet of paper, the ink on the book may be able to paint a Sistine mural on someone else's paper, but not even a line drawing in you. Liang Xia said, the big eyes of the water spirit turned charmingly.

"Haha, no. Not as exaggerated as you say. July raised his hand and scratched his scalp fiercely, turned his face sideways and smiled bitterly at the cool summer. "If it weren't for the recent events, I wouldn't have been able to read the words in the books, but thirty-six is the best. ”

"If you have a heart or not, you can still laugh, people's guns are full of **, and the muzzle of the gun is aimed at your head. And these big truths are easy to say, but it is not your temperament to say and do. Besides, your class has an axe, that is, you give you the Guan Gong big knife, what is it, you can still play the dragon jumping, be careful that the knife will not be used in your hand, it is not a minute, it will be seconds. Kid, your idea is unrealistic and dangerous. Whether this can go or not also has to find the right way, everyone knows to go, but there are also those who can't get out. Liang Xia continued to scold her angrily.

The lamp next to the sofa suddenly dimmed, and after a while, the light in the room became a little brighter again.

July pressed the phone slowly, and his eyes stayed on the phone screen that had been dark for a long time.

The lingering aroma of milk tea kept swirling in the silence of the cold bones, and Liang Xia was stunned for a while.

"I guess that smile you just smiled at me wasn't me, but at the person on the phone. "Liang Xia launched a fierce offensive without words.

"I've grown up with you since I was a kid and you've laughed at me many times. A hearty smile when you're happy, a pretended to be a reserved smile when you're being blamed, and even when you're sad, it's never a sad look. Pale laughter, stiff laughter are all ways for you to express your mood differently from others. However, the cheeks were flushed with shame, and the sweet smile in the eyebrows and eyes was something I had never seen and that was hard to forget. There is a taste of love in your smile. Sure enough, people in love can happily stay happy to the point of mania every day. "The sound of cool summer came again from the overhead of July.

July put down his phone and looked at Liangxia with a gentle face. It's just that the ten fingers stopped on the phone for a long time and didn't want to move away. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly turned her face back, and her already pink cheeks were directly red into the embarrassment.

"What you're saying is so brain-consuming, I thought about it for a long time before I realized something was wrong. I don't even know how to answer you. July replied softly.

"I know you still want to say that inexplicable thing. But just think about it, my brain capacity is so big, I have no time to take care of all kinds of things, and I don't want to waste my limited time on unworthy people or things. July had a polite smile on her lips. There was a hint of nonchalance in that tone.

"In July, don't divert from the topic, that topic is outdated. Liang Xia had a mournful expression on his face, and his small mouth gently pursed out a semicircular arc, and then blew deeply.

"In July, at the beginning of my accompaniment to school, my father and your father told me to take good care of your daily life more than a hundred times, and I knew that the doubts in my heart were beyond my authority, but I just wanted to watch you live every day as a fairy tale in your eyes. In July, you never said what kind of hardships you have, but I clearly saw the helplessness engraved in your heart. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you, and I hope you can be truly happy. Not for someone else, but for yourself. ”

The snow-white light looked quiet, but when the blinds were suddenly raised by a strong wind, and the rain of smoke rolled in the vast mist, the night could not have been calmer. The dim solitary lamp and the moon waves in the north are intertwined, the glass table by the window is covered with silent cold beads, and the bright marble floor reflects a rippling figure.

They were silent for a long time, and Liang Xia muttered negatively.

"Boring!" there was a faint sense of alienation in Liang Xia's voice, and there was a little helplessness in the alienation.

"In July, I found out that you have changed, and since you and Zheng Muxuan have been together, there has been very little common language between us. It's so easy for you to reply a few words, but none of this thought is on me for a moment. It's so easy for you to promise me to go to the movies together, and before the movie ends, you're gone. I made the whole world look for you, and I was sweating all over the world, I thought I had lost you, and it was easy to calm down and look for you on the way back to school, but I unexpectedly found you and Mu Xuan walking in the streets and alleys arm in arm. ”

Liang Xia curled up her small body in the soft quilt, just poked out a small head slightly, at first glance it looked like a mimosa, and the small mouth that vented her dissatisfaction was so difficult that she trembled, but the words she spit out were extremely sharp.

The raindrops on the window were as intricate as layers of brocade, and even the roar of thunder was stunned. Under the rainstorm, every leaf vein was covered with snow-white dew like mist. Liang Xia yawned loudly, and folded a pair of small hands next to her crimson cheeks. The little head kept bobbing from side to side, and it looked like a doll shaking its head in a shop window. She's waiting, waiting for July to give her an answer.

Time passed minute by minute, like a silver needle falling into the sea, without agitation, without shadow.

"No, you and Mu Xuan are equally important to me. Do you know? If it weren't for you to accompany me, how boring this campus life would be, you know me, I'm very slow to heat, I'm afraid I'm still warming up the temperature, but others have already signed up for warmth. ”

July's heart was flustered, like a disorderly hemp rope that would be even more chaotic when someone stirred it up. Even the bright smile on his lips gradually froze, and the stiff corners of his mouth were like crude sculptures.

The phone screen flickered in response, and July's gaze swept over the latest conversation on the screen again, though there were only two words in the long dialog box, "Good night." July pressed the phone to his chest for a long time.

"I don't know what to say, but your question confuses me. July suddenly stood up, his eyes slowly closing on the cool summer as his body turned.

The earthy rain poured down the cracks between the window frames, and the long wind lifted the snow-white curtains and hung down heavily. July sat quietly at the desk, her eyes followed the phone screen without moving, and the streamer under her eyes was sometimes eager and sometimes light. It wasn't until her fingers clenched the edge of the phone that she couldn't move stiffly, and July reluctantly put down the phone. And the milk tea at hand, a thin layer of snow frost has already been silted out on the surface.

"I've noticed that you've been either absent-mindedly perfunctory to me lately, or you're serious about answering questions. ”

July was slightly stunned and then cut off Liang Xia's words, "But one thing will never change, no matter how the scenery behind us changes, your weight in my heart, you are my sister." I've been longing to have a sister since I was a child, and then Uncle Wang came, you came, you are my warmest playmate and dearest sister, and after that, I will be my best friend and confidant. ”

Liang Xia connected the words in his mind many times, and thought about the long sentence that had been gathered into it in his heart. Finally, she turned around, her eyes fixed on the white wall.

"Forget it, talk about something that interests you but doesn't necessarily like to hear it. After struggling with his thoughts for a while, Liang Xia couldn't help but ask. Even though those eyes were already shining with tears.

"July, what do you and Mu Xuan think, since both of them have feelings for each other, it would be good to make an official announcement generously. Do you need to hide it? Your simple questions have become confusing. How can you say that everyone is an adult, and as for hiding it so that others can guess it? You see that he is not offended by anyone now, but what about you? You have become the target of public criticism, and those who do not look down on you abound. Now I'm worried about you even when you go out, I'm afraid that this thunder will be wrapped in debris everywhere after it bursts. ”

"How can it be as suspenseful as you say, everyone is a classmate. July hurriedly retorted.

"How can you say so light, those fans are already a headache. But there is another Zhou Huixi. I can hear Cui Xueli, the big-mouthed canteen, say that Zhou Huixi and Zheng Muxuan have been close friends a few years ago. And I can feel that Zhou Huixi likes Zheng Muxuan, not admiration, not a crush, but a deep relationship of obsession to attachment. The first few days you went on a date with Mu Xuan, and I also asked my neighbor's Xiaoyou to go to dinner, guess what I heard there. I heard Cui Xueli and Zhou Huixi discussing your relationship, and the discussion was red-faced. Zhou Huixi yelled, no one is allowed to comment on Brother Mu Xuan casually. This sentence is debatable. ”

What kind of girl can say such a sentence. I'm afraid that Zheng Muxuan's weight in her heart is not inferior to yours. July put away an embarrassed smile, and after a while, July slowly turned his head to face the cool summer. It's just that this mouthful of milk tea just now didn't seem to want to be swallowed by her quietly, and July stumbled, hunched over and coughed out desperately.

July coughed violently intermittently, and said in a dumb voice: "What are you talking about, in fact, I know the things between them, Gu Beichen told me that Zhou Huixi would work hard for Zheng Muxuan, but even if their relationship is not ordinary, I still believe that Mu Xuan likes me." At least he confessed to me, and he also said why the partner must be my reason. I'm sure he didn't lie to me. Even if there is a problem, it is Zhou Huixi's own problem, and he must be stubbornly pestered with people who do not belong to him and not let go. ”

Ryoxia jumped out of bed and stood behind July and patted her on the back gently.

"Yes, yes, yes, there is nothing wrong with what you said, but I didn't mention Zheng Muxuan for half a word from beginning to end, and I thought stupidly that if Zheng Muxuan was also interesting to Zhou Huixi, what else could I do with you? You can still fall in love without distractions. ”

Liang Xia reached over and grabbed Qiyue's cold fingers into his palm. The thumb of her left hand gently caressed the contours of her knuckles.

"By the way, when it comes to Cui Xueli and Zhou Huixi, I always feel that I have been worried in the past two days as if something has not happened, the two of them are openly torn apart, but I just don't know if there is anything at stake in secret, after all, every time they break up unhappily, it is after talking about Zheng Muxuan. Cui Xueli is really open-mouthed when she speaks, and she doesn't open any pot to mention which pot. As for Zhou Huixi, she likes Zheng Muxuan, and anyone with a clear eye can distinguish clearly, not to mention that she always engraves pride on her face. A while ago, there was a demonic wind in the school, saying that the relationship between Cui Xueli and Gu Beichen was not ordinary, what kind of person do you say this Gu Beichen, I don't like Zheng Muxuan, I even want to jump out with my girlfriend to make waves, and the orchestra casting was in the dark. At that time, you said that the girl was white-clothed and snowy, and it was like a beautiful perfume lily in the moonlight. Under that thick candy makeup, there must be a dirty and decayed face. You said that the girl sang generously that day, squirmed off the stage, and this is full of the world's sense of existence, and at that time you said that her voice was sweet, and now listening to it, I will say that she has an iron voice comparable to that of a tweeter, and it is not too much. ”

"If so, it looks like she's made of such a bunch of cursed dolls. July frowned and replied lightly, but there was a hint of caution in the tone of his reply. "I'll talk about it later, since she mentioned ghosts, she won't be attached to the door of our dormitory right now. After this wave of analysis, I always feel that although the story she told is less flavorful than boiled water, it must be nutritious. July hesitated for a moment, looking back at the cool summer gently. "Liang Xia, I may have said the wrong thing just now, don't worry about it, but I'm relieved to have you by my side. July lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly, his fingers retracted slightly, and after a rapid prompt sound, the phone automatically turned off.

"July, it's not that I'm suspicious of everything when I'm idle, this Cui Xueli is really not an honest person, there is something I've thought about for a long time and always thought it was incredible, but just now I connected the front and back together and always felt like I was about to see the clues. That day, when she told the story from the podium, she didn't look back to pay attention to our movements. It's as if the purpose of the crowd is just to let the tide rush towards us. ”

"Wait, let's see what else she can come up with. July turned on her phone again like obsessive-compulsive disorder, and under the dazzling white light, she skipped the phone with a bright smile in her eyes like summer flowers.

Liang Xia grabbed her hair indiscriminately, took out a cursed doll from the kitchen cabinet and looked at it again and again, her face pretending to be depressed revealing an almost complicated expression.

"Oh, it's ridiculous. These dolls are all carved out of a mold, and the workmanship alone is lifelike, not to mention that it is full of blood-colored traps. 1.2.3...18.19...23, 23 sent 23, do you think she's crazy, and others must do it first?"

"Have you calculated, how much does it cost? I'll estimate the price at 30 yuan first. Liang Xia handed the doll to July and smiled treacherously with a sideways face.

July sneered, hugged the newly purchased white dress and turned around and walked into the bathroom.

"Whoa!" The sound of running water was cut off, and at the same time, Liang Xia's explosive exclamation when he saw Xiaoqiang was blocked.

I held my breath and lay down in the warm bathtub, letting the warm water flow slowly over my head and through the ends of my hair, the snow-white mist filling the small square space, I gently closed my eyes. From this moment on, the world outside the door is full of chaos and hustle and bustle, and it has nothing to do with me.

The silvery white ripples mixed with a pleasant smell of lemon, and my vision was full of white mist.

The warm mist mixed with the cold wind, and when the steam accidentally flowed into my eyes, I felt a tingling pain in my eyes. Tears welled up in my eyelids, and the same stirring was the shadow that appeared in my mind.

I slowly opened my eyes to the beaded ceiling, and his name faintly appeared on the dead lead-gray board. I hung my head quietly, and pulled out clusters of foam from the water that overflowed my neck, and the moment I exhaled softly, countless foams slowly rose into the low mist, and countless delicate and small rainbows slipped away in my eyes. In every punctured bubble flashed his handsome face.

"I like you in July. ”

His voice was still in my ears, and I didn't have time to think deeply, because every time I faced him alone, my mind went blank, and the next moment, whether he opened his mouth or not, my world was messy.

"I don't know when, maybe it was in that car accident that didn't hurt. The panic in your eyes makes me can't help but be curious about you, and I fell for a short time beyond curiosity. He glanced at me, and the moment he turned his back on me, I heard my heartbeat hidden in the unburned fireworks still bursting intermittently.

The sound of running water was like the sound of the piano flowing from Mu Xuan's fingertips, and the familiar smell of the familiar boy behind the pitch-black grand piano made me feel sorry.

Lying in the bathtub, I just want to enjoy the warmth at the moment.

"Actually, I didn't tell Liang Xia that the reason why I liked it but didn't agree to his request for a long time was not entirely out of the helplessness of fate, I was powerless to fight, and there was more of a factor. That is Mu Xuan's words are eloquent, and every sentence can be said into my heart. But because of these words that I can't distinguish between truth and falsehood, I want to enter his heart, but I am afraid that his world will be stormy, and my pool of clear streams will not be able to merge into the sea with him after all. So what's the point of me fighting or not?"

"I think you should bow your head, and before you are fully immersed in it, at least the wariness you still retain for him, that is the best proof that you like it and don't love it enough. ”

"No, no, no, you give him a chance, and give yourself a chance. Who knows what will happen in the future, in case you and him have a future? ”

Two very different voices weave through my head, like an intricate cycle of night and day,

But the more I tried to throw those chaotic voices out of the clouds, the more distant the voices spread, clear and profound in my busy mind, and at that moment I had a splitting headache.

"You see, you are not as close as you think, at least there is a Zhou Huixi between you. You love Mu Xuan may not be as resolute as her. ”

"You ask Zheng Muxuan another day to see if he can completely dissociate himself from Zhou Huixi. Between her and you, you see how he chooses. ”

"What are you thinking? What the hell are you thinking about in July? It's not that far, so stop, stop quickly, your idea is dangerous. ”

July held her breath and sank down, her slender neck touched the sparkling silver-white water surface and at the same time jumped out of the waves of countless small splashes of rainbow-like light, she slowly sat up, the rippling foam clustered on her ** snow-white skin, and even the long ink-colored hair was covered with snow-like foam. July thought for a moment, raised his hand and removed the towel from the wall. Wrap your soggy ketones tightly in a loose bath towel.

The Qingyi in the rainy night is silent everywhere, the moonlight is as clear as water, and it seems to wash away the smoke and dust left by the years, but the quiet is only the surface, if it is not for the dexterous nose, you must not smell the rich smell of erosion that slowly emanates from the sludge.
