Chapter 21 There is a strange aroma in love I

"I've been looking for you for a long time, where have you been? I didn't answer the phone, and I didn't even reply to the message?"

Mu Xuan sat on the bench opposite July with a cold and muffled body, looking at the steaming coffee cup in front of him, he tried his best to calm his emotions.

"Xia Qiyue, you never do this. In the past, no matter what happened to you, you would be the first to share it with me. But now, I see that you have changed. At the very least, you're not the same as you used to be. July. Mu Xuan's hand holding Qiyue's wrist loosened slightly, and he looked at her anxiously in a hoarse voice, with occasional stars flickering in his eyes.

"Woo. "July's cell phone vibrates. A name that jumped out quickly broke into Mu Xuan's field of vision, and there were three big characters "Song Minghao" written on it.

Mu Xuan's eyes widened, his hand holding Qiyue lost his strength instantly, and his gaze was dull for a while before he recovered from the confusion just now.

"Who is he? Xia Qiyue, you answer me. “

Mu Xuan's voice was as cold as an ice blade that cut through the earth, and there was a trace of stubbornness in his eyes. He raised his hand and pointed to the screen of July's phone that suddenly lit up, and spoke in a tone as if he were facing a prisoner in the interrogation room.

"Xia Qiyue, I found that since the day you kept receiving calls from this person, you have been weird. The orchestra rehearsed and even the maverick Gu Beichen saw the clues. What the hell is going on between you and him? If you don't know him well, why does he call you 300 times a day? You said that you were annoyed when you saw the name beating on the screen of your phone, why do I think this is your most unreliable excuse. I asked Liang Xia in private why Liang Xia, who has always been outspoken, is secretive about this person. What exactly are your intentions, should they be so obvious? How many secrets have you little sisters kept from me. “

A cool, shrill voice swept through every corner of the café.

July took a light breath, and she raised her face and looked out the window without saying a word.

The night sky without stars always looks extra dark.

The weather forecast says that the Orionids and Draconids will arrive in droves in the next few days. But now, not to mention meteor showers, even the moon is stingy and no longer shines.

"I'm asking you? I'm desperate for your answer. “

Mu Xuan's fists hanging down beside his trousers clenched in annoyance. He glared at her with cold eyes.

"Speak, are you dumb? What is there to worry about, do you regret being with me? Are you thinking about how to hide from me, deceive me without leaking. Don't you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth? Then use your incorruptible tongue to completely dispel the worries in my heart. “

The soft music that had been playing in the café suddenly became sharp, and the nightmarish pale green beam instantly reflected the floating dust that hovered and diffused in the low altitude into a disturbing granular dark scar.

"Sir, Miss, this is the red velvet mousse cake you ordered. “

Mu Xuan stared directly at the slightly stunned July, and he quietly waved his hand to signal the waiter to put down the pastry.

"Sir, Miss dessert is ready, please use it slowly. “

The waiter said politely.

", don't you see that there's a bloody storm brewing here? and isn't your store too humane, what's going on with this light, seeing that we are deliberately cooperating with the farce in anger, right? Still in a hurry to kick the guests out, you guys are so close. “

The low, dark green is almost black. Just as the neon of the night was about to transform into more beautiful beams, the bright white light broke into Mu Xuan and Qiyue's field of vision again with a misty mist.

"For a warm light, I think this color is too cold. ”

Mu Xuan clenched his fists and closed his eyes tightly. No matter how colorful the world around him was, there was only an eternal gray and black in his mind.

"Zheng Muxuan, please don't vent your anger on innocent people, if you have any dissatisfaction, you will come directly to me, I will definitely answer them one by one, and I also have a lot of things to ask you. Do you know why I've been avoiding your question just now, I'm thinking about how to ask it, both to solve your doubts and to ensure that it doesn't hurt your fragile heart. ”

July's eyes were empty and decisive. In front of Mu Xuan, she will always be the girl who is ignorant of the world and longs for love, but this time she really touched the scar hidden in his heart. July kept looking at him, was it an illusion that the sensational sunny boy had such a sharp side? she really hoped that tonight's conversation was just an illusion in her mind.

At that moment, she heard her own heartbeat, which was so chaotic that it was about to stop.

"Zheng Muxuan, many times I feel that I am very close to you, and you are always in the 45-degree low altitude that I look up at when I raise my head. But a lot of times I feel like we're so far away, like you're on the North Star and I'm just on the South Pole. Mu Xuan from the point of view of feelings, there was also a Zhou Huixi between you and me, didn't I, did I ask you anything? And in front of so many people that day, why did you put all the mistakes on Zhou Huixi. What did she do wrong? Didn't she just fall in love with someone she shouldn't love? Also, as far as I know, you and Zhou Huixi have also been friends for many years, why is she so obsessed with you, and how can I know if you have done something unbelievable? Even if I guess the beginning, have I thrown all the doubts in my heart to you and wait for you to confront me and have a showdown?"

"You're really selfish. She glared back at him, the back of her hand holding the phone bulging, and even the subtle capillaries were vividly jumping. "I've been with you for so long, how have you ever thought from my point of view, yes, every time you see me with the wrong face, you will shush me and ask for warmth. But do you know what kind of impression you made on me? You don't really care about me, you seem to be deliberately pandering to me and pleasing me. To make me happy, you can even use a month's living expenses to buy me a dress that is not practical, and to cater to my appetite, you can take out a week's part-time money to treat me to a rap French meal. “

"Smack!"

July took out a notebook from the backpack she was carrying, and she fell proudly with full of anger, and the crumpled pages of the book quietly rolled down at Mu Xuan's feet like an overturned vegetable basket.

"Is this the most beautiful memory you left me? Zheng Muxuan, that's right, I never confessed my family background to you, that's because I don't want the boy who fell in love with me to go for those gorgeous things. We've known each other for so long, don't you understand me?"

The branches rustled restlessly. July quietly looked at the snow flying in the sky and sighed softly. Then she turned her face to look him straight ahead.

"Do you know why I refused to accept your overtures for a long time? When you used me as a pawn for you to squeeze out Gu Beichen, my heart was chilled a lot, and later I inserted Zhou Huixi's so-called mistaken love as a rival in love. Zheng Muxuan, you really challenge my patience. ”

July grabbed her hair and stared at him intently, her fingertips slipping from the fine, silky strands of hair, piggybacking on a few strands of curled hair like hemp balls.

"Frankly. July raised her hands in distress and leaned on the table with her elbows, her fingers constantly pulling at the broken hair at the corners of her forehead.

She slowly lowered her hands from her face, and folded her nervous hands in front of her rippling chest.

"Zheng Muxuan, is it interesting for us to play dumb riddles in circles? Okay, I admit that I am also wrong, so since I have talked about this, now, now should I tell you about the bond between me and Song Minghao out of nothing, or should you first tell me about the confusing entanglement between you and Zhou Huixi. In short, I must make my words clear today, then I will not shy away from forcing you to force you according to my temperament. Because I don't want to linger with you. It's too tiring, it's too tiring to talk about feelings compared to piles of schoolwork. I'm exhausted. “

July smiled bitterly and looked at Mu Xuan with vague eyes.

Mu Xuan's fist was clenched tightly, and the back of his tense hand could not be delayed for a moment, and his eyes looked at her fiercely like the punch would tremble on her head at any time.

"Huh. He sighed coldly.

"What kind of person I am, don't tell me in July, you can't feel it until today. Hehe, how have you ever been sincere to me. Is it true that my affectionate recitations have become a joke to make you happy? Xia Qiyue, you disappointed me too much. ”

Zheng Muxuan bit his lip fiercely, squinted slightly, the pain in his eyes turned into a narrow black shadow, and the dark half-arc was full of despair and grief.

"What do you mean by this, what do you mean by questioning your intentions are ulterior motives, what you said is too serious. Zheng Muxuan: Am I a casual person? Am I so unbearable in your eyes?"

July's nose was sore, she held back her tears and pretended to look at him calmly. The tearful eyes are the best indication of the chill. She stubbornly wiped away the tears hanging from the bridge of her nose.

"Mu Xuan, do you know what a shocking news Song Minghao told me? He said that you are. "July turned his face away and looked at the starless night again.

"Do you know what I thought of by his nonsense? I was very flustered, and I had a very bad premonition, and I was afraid that you had come to me deliberately because of your premeditation. “

"What did he say? What good things can that boy say about me? Tell me every word he says. His countenance was blurred by the distancing of his heart. He asked, snarling.

"I'd like to see how many waves that guy can roll right under my nose. Mu Xuan glared at him angrily, and countless tiny snow crystals like mayflies were condensed in his unblinking eyes.

July raised her hand and lightly imprinted it on her lower eyelid, then smirked lightly.

"You'd love to know what he said and wasn't, but I'm not going to tell you what he said. I'll just say to you, I won't care for the last second, do you think I'm sitting across from you for something, to break up? to make trouble? No, no matter how far apart you and me are, since I have chosen you, there is nothing to hesitate about. ”

July gently wiped away the tears under her eyes, and her eyes were red and swollen.

She pretended to smile happily, and that smile tugged at his sensitive heart.

"It's like I know the relationship between you and him, even if Song Minghao's honesty is too insinuating, I figured it out for a long time to come up with a reason, but I, I still can't bear to ask you. As for whether to say it or not, how to say it, how much to say it is your freedom, I can't interfere with it. “

"July me, I actually. “

Mu Xuan looked at July strangely, his fingers inadvertently hooked into the rim of the coffee cup, and he didn't pay attention to the bright brown liquid in the cup, which almost shook to the point of splashing.

"I'm sorry. ”

Mu Xuan suddenly lowered his head and looked at his toes with a look of shame. His voice was soft, as light as water.

"I'm sorry July, it's all my fault, but I'm really, I, I'm just afraid of losing you. I also know that I can't find a word of comfort for you other than this one. “

Mu Xuan looked at her in a daze, and his fingers holding the book were slightly out of strength. He kept dodging July, and there was a strange dark glint in his eyes.

"I, I actually knew that the distance between us was too far, I knew that I was not worthy of you, no matter how hard I tried, I was not worthy of you, but I really, I was afraid of losing you. “

Mu Xuan replied embarrassedly, listening to his tone, it was obvious that he lacked confidence.

"Then I ask you, do I care? If I cared, I could have been your girlfriend without knowing anything about you. Ah, no, how can you be ignorant? I know your name, your class, don't you?" July sighed with a wry smile, and the corners of the girl's skirt fluttered gently as the night breeze blew, like a cold lake wave after the evening breeze rose.

"I'm sorry, please, don't say any more. I know it's all my fault, it's my fault to make you sad, it's my fault to make you upset, it's my fault to make you unbelievable. It's all my fault. It's that I'm not confident enough to be open and honest with you. When I think about it, my life is really a mess. Mu Xuan tilted his head in annoyance. The guest sitting next to him suddenly stood up and passed by the two people who were arguing. Mu Xuan's stiff back suddenly trembled like electricity, and under the dim lone lamp, the moonlight shining on him was as faint as frost.

"July, I, I have lost too much, so I always suffer from gains and losses and insecurity, I am different from you, you are like a bright star in the sea and sky, always shining. But I, I'm a impurity at the bottom of the sea, and I should always be trampled under my feet. I know sooner or later there will be such a rift between us, and I just don't want this day to come sooner. “

Mu Xuan lowered his head, his eyes looking at the intertwining fingertips. His voice was less like an explanation and more like a plea for mercy.

He seemed to think of something, and then said with a smile.

"Do you know when I first saw you? The brown glass wasn't in the front window. “

"You know what? “

Looking at July's determined eyes, Mu Xuan wanted to speak again.

The shrill sound of the violin filled every inch of the evening café, and Mu Xuan's mind was controlled by a somewhat neurotic soul after despair, and he began to babble tirelessly with the surprised look on Qiyue's face.

"Do you think I didn't see your face? Even though I can't remember your face, your eyes as clear as water don't lie, and there is hope in your clear eyes that I long. The reason why I fell in love with you so deeply was because of your panicked eyes. “

And your smile, even if that quiet smile dwells in indescribable consternation and fear. But you still shocked me, and there was no other woman in my life who would smile at me except my mother. “

Mu Xuan raised his head and looked into Qiyue's eyes.

"Mu Xuan, what can a smile and a look prove? Could it be that Zhou Huixi has never smiled at you. I saw her on tiptoe and trying to touch your hair on your birthday. Under the star-like ice eyes, there is an unusually complex affection. Mu Xuan, I am also a woman, and only women know women best. It's not that she hasn't smiled at you, it's just that you've never given her a chance. yes, so it seems that thy heart is of iron, and it is stronger than a rock. July was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily.

Her hands clasped around her slender shoulders, her fingers rubbing her shoulders were dark red, and she sat quietly, the brilliant sunset shining light reflected on the stiff and depressed shadow behind him. Even the cramped back was out of her control for a moment.

"If it weren't for me, would you choose her?" her voice was as cold as silky rain.

"She's very good, she's prettier than me, more temperamental and attractive than me. She has better grades than me, she can sing and dance better than me, and she has won many firsts in the sports day. It's really hard to imagine how I could compare to her. “

"Xia Qiyue, I really don't understand what you women think about every day. Mu Xuan took a deep breath and then asked impatiently. Although he had been trying very hard to suppress his anger.

"Mu Xuan, without me, you will definitely choose her, a girl like her, even if she is a woman, I can't help but want to sneak a few glances at her? Not to mention that you are a man, she is as beautiful and flawless, you have no reason not to like her, let alone reject her. “

Mu Xuan and July's gazes collided in the increasingly stubborn air.

July slowly closed her eyes, and his silence for a moment made her feel like her heart was suffocating.

Seeing that July had been stubbornly making himself speechless, Mu Xuan stood up from his seat suddenly, and he fiercely grabbed the hand of July who was sitting opposite.

"I really don't want to say anything to you anymore, Xia Qiyue. If you believe me, you will not question me aggressively, and if you really understand me, you will not test my intentions openly and secretly. If you respond to my love is the same, there will be no secret between me and you, and even if there is a secret, it is all good. Isn't it?"

Mu Xuan lowered his body and slowly approached her, and July was taken aback, and the stars under his eyes continued to sparkle.

July tried hard to pull her hand away, but the more she tried to break free, the more he squeezed desperately. He placed her curled fingers on the mouth of his heart.

"Feel it with your heart, July is the last time I'll ask you so lowly. “

"Okay?" Mu Xuan's voice was 8 degrees lower, but his quiet tone like a breeze was still as natural as before.

July's fingers squirmed slightly. Mu Xuan clenched her hand even harder, and he said the words that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time like a few treasures.

"In July, even if you have to weigh the choice between me and Song Minghao, I will definitely not have a small word. There is just one thing, I hope you will keep in mind that no matter what you choose tomorrow, I will stand there and wait for you. In this world, there is a fool named Zheng Muxuan who loves you deeply. He wants you to love him that way. It's just that he knows that he can't fulfill his promise that will eventually be blown away, so he is reluctant to let you go back to the blue sea and blue sky that originally belonged to you. He may not be able to participate in your future, but his love for you will never be twilight. ”

"That seat in the café

I'm looking forward to seeing who will return here

Cappuccino's grief

I have no way back

It's like spreading your wings and taking you flying

See how beautiful the starry sky is at night

Fate is always in reincarnation

If you have a dream, you have to chase it

oh baby

How the hell am I going to sing this melody for you?

Even now I'm lost

For love

I kept my stubbornness

The lonely back, the familiar streets, waiting for me to ride the wind and waves

Night in the moonlight

The lights are dim

I don't know why I'm so greedy for you."

Familiar music plays over and over again.

In the miserable and flickering lights, Zheng Muxuan was wearing a slim aqua blue sweatshirt, and his black blue hair reflected a circle of bright and faint moisturization, he looked at the table opposite without saying a word and looked worried about July, the three-dimensional side face was more handsome than a rose, and more proud than the relief of the Louvre.

"Hey, how do I think there is something wrong with Brother Mu Xuan today. “

After a long distance, Liang Xia aimed at him with a puzzled face.

"So what do you think is wrong?"

The wind blew through Gu Beichen's flaxen-colored bangs, and he took three steps and two steps, and took the lead in the sporadic crowd of people in one step.

"Hey, Gu Beichen, you're very unfriendly like this. At the very least, wait until the table is about to end before going over and say hello. Besides, you look at Brother Mu Xuan and July's sweet appearance. Shall we just go and disturb it?"

Liang Xia couldn't help but complain, "If I also have a boyfriend, I must not want to take his arm to greet him, but now you and Shirley are no longer secrets." I'm the only one who is still alone, so don't be too embarrassed by my situation. And when they saw me alone, Brother Mu Xuan would definitely think that I had come over to snatch July from him. “

Liang Xia shouted excitedly and grabbed Gu Beichen's sleeve. She pouted and frowned, even in her heart, she must have inevitably muttered a little idle.

"Hey, what are you doing. A lazy bass suddenly sounded above Liang Xia's head. In the sluggish light, Gu Beichen leaned down, and a clear glimmer burst out of his black pupils.

"Don't you smell the strange smell of gunpowder here? What am I inviting you for, here to persuade peace, or to fan the flames? You'd better put yourself in the right position before you speak, so as not to give people a superficial sense of petty. ”

Gu Beichen twisted his eyebrows and scolded Liang Xia Dao seriously.

"Just stand here, don't keep up, I'm afraid you'll ruin my plans. ”

Liang Xia's face flushed, and she nodded embarrassedly.

"If it weren't for what you just said, I would have thought you would at least be an interesting girl? Gu Beichen's voice was mixed with disdain. He kept slanting his eyes at Liang Xia, and there was a hint of disrespectful arrogance in his eyes with brown eyes. He was resolute. Then he threw his arms and bathed in the neon as if he had come to the world's god's residence.

Liang Xia winked at his distant back, and silently grimaced.

"Mr. Mu Xuan and Miss July, I can meet you here, do you want to come and we have a tacit understanding?"

Gu Beichen was holding a goblet in his hand, and the goblet was full of dark red wine.

He put one hand in his trouser pocket, one hand against the table, and after a few seconds of neat sideways rotation, he sat handsomely and unstoppably in the middle of the table where July and Mu Xuan looked at each other coldly, he held his head high, glanced at July contemptuously, and then snorted meaningfully and coldly.

"Sure enough, I'm the only one in the world who cares about you the most, have you eaten? Are you done talking? Do you want to take advantage of the moonlight tonight to stroll under the street lamp and walk back to the bedroom.

He leaned there unruly, and when he saw the two of them looking out of the window together, he turned his head out of the window with interest, "No matter how you ignore me, could it be that I have ruined your good Yaxing." Hey, I think I'm a really annoying light bulb. Then let me do something that is more of a headache for you. ”

Then he turned his head to the service desk with a thief smile on his face and shouted, "Don't you see that this man has eaten and drunk enough? ”

He waved his arms back and forth in the air.

Mu Xuan's face became more and more ugly, and a gloomy haze gradually appeared in his dark blue eyes, and the despair in his eyes was like a blizzard with resentment, and a little faint crystal struggled and stirred in the shadowless air mass like a deep pool, and in a blink of an eye, it disappeared into the dust after being washed by the merciless wind and rain like a comet. It's just that no matter how many times the years have ravaged him, there is always a touch of loneliness in his blue eyes, which is almost demonic, and the beauty of pride is slightly stubborn and dangerous.

"Hey, Senior Brother Mu Xuan, this is yours, isn't it, how can you look tired in front of a girl? I don't know, I always think that you are lazy about your feelings, or that your intentions are too off-track. Especially, my younger sibling is still a sensitive and delicate girl. Laugh and come out to eat, no matter how much the conversation is

i

g, at least don't pry face. ”

Gu Beichen was softly concerned.

The air in the room is becoming more and more solidified, and the solidification makes people on the verge of collapse and suffocation all the time. Even though Gu Beichen was looking out the window, the afterglow in the corner of his eyes refused to move away from the two of them for a moment. He deliberately put on a look on his face that he didn't care about himself. In fact, his heart did not fall as soon as he entered the door. For a moment, he only felt that the corners of his forehead were cold, and it seemed that layers of fine beads of sweat were coming out involuntarily. And he didn't care about himself at all.

"Before Shirley goes to the appointment, I can be generous enough to ask you for another drink, or whatever Miss July wants to eat, I can ask for it. ”

Gu Beichen glanced at Mu Xuan, and then silently looked at July with his sharp eyes.

"Is it that Mu Xuan's junior is stingy, it doesn't matter, I'll invite you as a partner and friend, but the credit must be credited to Mu Xuan. ”

Gu Beichen grinned recklessly, and pulled the menu up from the table again, his sexy thin lips continued to rise.

The empty hall echoed intermittently with the sound of his unhurried pace, although it was fine and light, the rhythmic rhythm was engraved on Mu Xuan's heart like a serenade.

"There's only one chance, and the time left seems to be running out. ”

Gu Beichen's footsteps finally slowed down, and he slowly stopped in front of Mu Xuan.

"Mu Xuan, as a boyfriend, you must know July's fetishes, or you should take a look at it again. ”

The moment he handed over the menu, he gently put his hand on Mu Xuan's shoulder. He looked at him quietly, and even the arrogance in his eyes chose to be restrained, and his habitual yuppie lips gently hooked a soft crescent moon.

"You guys are so temperamental if you don't give face to your seniors. Seeing that Mu Xuan's hand that had just touched the menu was stunned, he quickly glanced at Xia Qiyue, whose eyes were gradually becoming blank.

"Look at your strange eyes, I know how miscalculated I was today, how can I still step in such a bad restaurant? ”

Gu Beichen had an angry expression on his face, and the word "exaggeration" was capitalized in his eyes.

He snapped his fingers and waved his hand into the air.
