As time passed, the pale red kiss marks left by the afterglow of the setting sun faded from the canopy.

Mu Xuan stood quietly by the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to the door. The slender figure was lengthened by the hazy curtain.

"Bang!" was accompanied by a deafening knock on the door. Gu Beichen walked in step by step with a strong liquor atmosphere.

"Zheng Muxuan, you kid knows how to set me up, right? Let me tell you, Lao Tzu has put up with you for a long time. From the day you stepped into the door of the orchestra, Lao Tzu has never had a good time. Hehe, the lead singer position who has been sitting for a year has been replaced by you, this rotten garlic. Do you remember how you kept me at the beginning, shouting one senior after another, and in the end, you actually let me stay with you as an accompanist and accompanist. ”

"Dude, you're pretty good at it. Why don't you let me fuck off completely. ”

The boy named Gu Beichen had black broken hair that hung down to his eyelids, and a pair of tea-black eyes faintly revealed a domineering and almost fierce light. His indignant appearance was as cold as a cold star, and he was as alive as the god of death Hades. The most terrifying thing is that there is dissatisfaction in his eyes, which is difficult to detect, but the anger in his mouth is busy and cathartic, so that you have nothing to say every minute.

He raised his hand holding the wine bottle and kept pointing at Zheng Muxuan's forehead.

"You're pretending to be merciful enough to keep me, are you trying to embarrass me? aren't you just trying to let the whole school know that I'm your defeated soldier and the spoils of your reign?"

"What do you think of me, Zheng Muxuan, you answer me. Why don't you speak???" Gu Beichen roared like a lion while holding the empty wine bottle in his left hand, and the hand holding the wine bottle was raised high above Mu Xuan's shoulder. "I'm telling you you don't want to stand up and get out of here today. Speak, speak to me. Are you mute? or deaf. Hurry up. He held up the wine bottle and kept pointing at Mu Xuan, and he just blindly asked Mu Xuan why he didn't say a word in response to himself, and he himself kept chattering and not giving others a chance to interject.

"Hey, don't talk to Brother Mu Xuan like this. Zhou Huixi, who was hiding at the door, heard the sound and broke in behind Gu Beichen. Seeing that guy was holding an empty wine bottle in his hand, his fist was aimed at Mu Xuan. Zhou Huixi subconsciously stopped in front of Mu Xuan. At the same time, she raised her right hand and clamped Gu Beichen's hand holding the bottle.

Mu Xuan came back to his senses, slowly turned around and faced Gu Beichen with a calm face. He raised his hand and gently held Zhou Huixi's weak shoulders and protected her behind him.

"Brother Mu Xuan. Zhou Huixi turned her head, and her eyes revealed a mixture of horror and secret joy.

"Hahahaha, I said how did I lose so badly. Compared with you, who are flooded with peach blossoms, I really don't have an advantage. Gu Beichen glanced at Zhou Huixi, who was bent by Mu Xuan's arm, and stared at Zheng Muxuan with a smile.

Mu Xuan seemed to sense that something was wrong, his hand gently patted Zhou Huixi's shoulder to relax her tense nerves, and then crossed over to her side and walked lightly in front of Gu Beichen.

"If you don't agree with each other, you have to do it, and you won't give me a chance to discern?"

"If you don't get angry until you drop the bottle and smash my head, then I won't hide, you can just come at me. Mu Xuan said word by word.

"Brother Mu Xuan, don't go over, it's dangerous. Behind him, Zhou Huixi shouted. "No, I won't let you take another half step. Saying that, Zhou Hui Xifei also grabbed the corner of Mu Xuan's clothes.

Mu Xuan turned his head and looked at Zhou Huixi's uneasy eyes. "No, I can't. She tugged at the corners of his coat, and the end shook like a rattle. Seeing that Zhou Huixi was so nervous, Zheng Muxuan smiled faintly, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." I didn't expect Gu Beichen to have the guts. Mu Xuan gently dragged away the corner of the clothes that was still in Zhou Huixi's hand, and pushed away Zhou Huixi's hand that was just stretched out and hung high in the air. He turned his head and looked at Zhou Huixi with a smile, and then raised his head and stared at Beichen's eyes. "People who really want to do it won't be slow to drop their hands until now. ”

"Why don't you want to fall down now? Mu Xuan stared at Beichen awe-inspiringly.

Saying that, he raised his hand and took advantage of Gu Beichen's distraction, Mu Xuan used his white and tender fingers to gently cover Gu Beichen's left wrist holding the wine bottle high.

"How does this help you? Help you make up your mind to drop your fist. ”

"Oh! Zhou Huixi's eyes were shining, her face was pale with fright, and beads of sweat the size of beans hung all over her forehead.

"Don't worry, Zhou Huixi, I guess it's just a false alarm. ”

Mu Xuan's tone was extremely gentle, that kind of elegant gentleness had a touch of elusive demonity, and he looked straight at Gu Beichen without the slightest hint of panic in his eyes. It's as if everything in your eyes is expected. No matter what happens after that, he can't escape his control.

Gu Beichen was obviously a little frightened by Mu Xuan's reaction. His hand holding the bottle trembled unconsciously.

"I'm scared. Weren't you very good just now? Didn't you say you wouldn't let me go? Didn't you say it was impossible for me to walk out of this room standing up?"

"If you want to do it so much, why are your wrists trembling? Are you scared? You're scared of what the consequences of that will happen?"

He clenched Beichen's wrist tightly, his hand pumping.

"Don't you hate me? ”

Taking advantage of the moment when Gu Beichen froze, Zheng Muxuan's hand was wrapped tighter. Gu Beichen's fist that clenched the wine bottle could almost reflect the blood vessels, and the skin on the back of his hand became more and more transparent, and the green tendons under the almost transparent wholesale were slightly bulging like a circular mountain range.

"If you want to fight, hit here, brain stem location. ”

Mu Xuan pointed to the root of his ear, his tone gradually returned to calm, even his eyes looking at Gu Beichen were as light as water, and the smile that was fixed on the corner of his lips was soft and waveless. On the contrary, Gu Beichen was speechless, and he missed the "man" fire that he had just maintained for a long time. Gu Beichen's eyes were a little wandering as he stared at Mu Xuan.

"I knew you were going to come to me for a duel in the next few days. It's time to release the pain after being suppressed for so long. Since you don't dare to do it, I think you should have said more than half of what you didn't dare to say when you were sober. ”

Mu Xuan looked at him and said affirmatively.

"But don't forget, I, Zheng Muxuan, occupy this position with my strength, maybe you don't have any impression in your mind about the tryout when I joined the group, I am not only a popular star voted by the students of the school, but also recommended by your vocal teacher. And you, have you forgotten how many mistakes you made in the lead singer's battle?"

Zheng Muxuan laughed coldly. And the boy in front of him looked at Mu Xuan with his head slightly raised and stared at him, and the anger in his eyes was once again sharp like breaking the ice. Looking at him again, the bottom of his eyes seemed to be a flood trapped by a beast, but the hand holding the wine bottle high hung as quietly as if it had been cast a static magic.

"You. Gu Beichen was angry, gritting his teeth angrily.

"However, I was surprised that you chose to vent to me when you were drunk. I thought you could come to me like a real man and fight me as a prelude to a change of dynasty for the band. This time, without waiting for Gu Beichen to finish speaking, Mu Xuan blurted out without thinking about it.

"Zheng Muxuan, I told you that as long as you have me Gu Beichen for a day, your conspiracy will not succeed. Don't you just want to keep the orchestra for yourself? Do you think that the orchestra is an object, an object for your personal enjoyment, and you are not happy to change it with a wave of your hand?"

"What the hell is going on with this selection, if you like that girl, you can tell me directly, tell me directly,,," Before he finished speaking, Gu Beichen began to laugh wildly. Even the still air was cut off by demonic laughter. "Haha, what else can I do to stop you. After all, Zheng Muxuan, you are the current lead singer, me and the drummer, no, he will leave the group and graduate soon. It seems that you want to take this opportunity to kick me away again, because I am worthless, right?" Gu Beichen became more and more excited the more he shouted, his cheeks flushed like blood, and his wrists kept shaking trying to break free from Mu Xuan's grasp. But seeing that Mu Xuan's hand continued to exert force, Gu Beichen gave up struggling.

"You just joined the group and your foundation is unstable, so you will pretend to be kind to keep the two of us. Well, now, you've long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He looked at Mu Xuan viciously, and even the sound of gnashing teeth could be heard between words.

Mu Xuan's face sank when he listened, and then he smiled: "It seems that my speculation is not biased, you are not drunk tonight, you are really a drama spirit, and the drunkenness you pretend to be as drunk as the drunks on the street." With one of my radical methods, you will be able to express your inner thoughts in one go. Even the hole cards were revealed early, but I thought you had two brushes. ”

"Don't talk about him left or right, you answer my question directly. The night before yesterday, you were clearly deliberate, and it was you who did something to my Mai, so you naturally directed and acted in the whole audition. I can't figure out why you put this on the show when you have a candidate. His hand tried to break free as if it was dead, but as he exerted his strength, Mu Xuan's hand strength was even greater. Mu Xuan's wrist strength was always one rank higher than his Gu Beichen. Gu Beichen always struggled for a period of time and then gave up resistance knowingly.

"You think I'm playing the score, don't you? Do you think there are really strong singers among the unselected? It's an orchestra and nothing else... ”

"And we've always had three people working together in the orchestra. ”

The smile on Mu Xuan's face became even brighter.

"Shut up, a Cui Xueli will let me see you clearly. ”

Gu Beichen's eyes widened angrily, and the anger in his eyes was fully vented at this moment.

Mu Xuan's hand suddenly withdrew and hung down next to his trousers. Gu Beichen's hand was raised high in the air, as if it was frozen.

"Cui Xueli's appearance makes you see me clearly, what kind of character do you see me? If everyone present knows that Cui Xueli is your friend, think about me and you, whose character will be beaten. ”

"Maybe by the time you figure it out, it's too late for you to thank me. ”

"Thank you, why do you want me to thank you, I tell you that as long as I have me for a day, I will not let you have a good time. Especially the girl named Xia Qiyue, I can't figure it out that you can't get her down. Gu Beichen smiled bitterly.

After listening to him finish speaking, Mu Xuan frowned slightly, and after a pause for a few seconds, Mu Xuan slowly walked past him with a calm smile again. Except for a sculptural side face, there was nothing left for Gu Beichen.

"Yes? I bet you don't have that ability. ”

"Zhou Huixi, let's go. Mu Xuan turned his face sideways again to look at Gu Beichen's eyes, and he put his lips to his ear and whispered, "You'd better be quiet and don't make any more small moves." Even if it's selected, don't look for a fake pure girl who is sprayed by everyone. ”

Seeing that Zhou Huixi had been stunned in place, he had never moved.

"Not yet. Zheng Muxuan's tone was significantly higher than last time, his arm *** passed over Gu Beichen's shoulder, and he left without looking back.

The whole Qingyi was immersed in a sweet sleep and was silent, and with the flickering lights on both sides of the campus, Zhou Huixi followed Mu Xuan all the way to the center of the school's huge stands. She looked up at the starlight that was rapidly swimming in the dark night.

"By the way, Brother Mu Xuan, is there something I can ask you?" Zhou Huixi and Mu Xuan were side by side with each other, but their eyes did not fall on each other.

"Of course you can, what's the matter?" Mu Xuan replied lightly.

"It's the matter of the insider that Gu Beichen said just now, and he also said that it was the girl you liked. Zhou Huixi was in a hurry, and there was a rare look of frustration on her face.

"When did this happen, I don't know. So, it's because of that girl that you reminded me many times not to join the orchestra, right?" Zhou Huixi's face swam with a hint of doubt.

Mu Xuan was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked at her calmly.

But he just stared at her for a moment, and did not speak.

"Do you really like that girl? Why her? She seemed to be muttering to herself, but maybe the stands were too quiet, and no matter how weak her voice was, it still fell into Mu Xuan's ears.

"Zhou Huixi, there are some things I can't tell you now, but that girl is really important to me. As for the reason, I can't explain it to you right now, and I can't tell you more about it. ”

"Brother Mu Xuan, you should explain it to me in detail, you give me a convincing reason. Zhou Huixi looked at him intently. Her tone was calm and unflawed, though it was drizzling in her heart. She longed for an umbrella to stand in front of her head, but he was obviously an umbrella, but she was drenched in the cold.

Zheng Muxuan stared at Zhou Huixi's face for a long time, he opened his mouth slightly, but he still swallowed back the words when he came to his mouth.

It's just that his expression of wanting to speak and stopping is that Zhou Huixi planted a seed of resentment in his heart.

"I thought you weren't that kind of person, but you are. Mu Xuan could hear that Zhou Huixi's heart was uncomfortable, no matter if she pretended to be calm, she could still make people vaguely smell pantothenic acid. And Zheng Muxuan is actually a careful person, but he knows that he can't answer her perfectly at the moment. He could only silently raise his head and continue to look at the dazzling stars in the sky.

The stars in the sky blinked mysteriously, as if each star had its own thoughts.

"Actually, Zhou Huixi, you. ”

"You don't have to say any more. ”

Zhou Huixi let out a long sigh, and the smile on her lips slowly stiffened, and the stiffness was extremely sour.

"It's because she can give you things that others can't give you, so you tell me that the reason can't be explained, but I'm not stupid, how can I not know how weak and small I am compared to a rich girl. How can I be worthy of you as a good boy like you. Zhou Huixi seemed to be talking to herself again, she deliberately lowered her voice, and her soft but high-pitched voice was full of sarcasm.

"Haha. She laughed at herself from the bottom of her heart.

"Zhou Huixi, what's wrong with you. Mu Xuan sensed that something was wrong with Zhou Huixi, he sensitively probed her, and after a long time, he still asked.

"It's okay, it's that I'm thinking too much. If what I just said is offensive, don't mind. That's how I am. ”

Mu Xuan opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes stared at Zhou Huixi without blinking. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head to face her again.

"There are some things that I can't say because the time is not ripe, and there are some things that I don't want to tell you because they are very hurtful. Since saying it will make you feel more sad to say it than not to say it, then I can only say sorry to you. ”

A trace of emotion flashed in Zheng Muxuan's eyes that he had never felt before, but he quickly reacted.

"Between me and you will always be what I owe you. ”

"Don't be sorry, okay? You don't have anything to be sorry for. ”

Zhou Huixi shouted impatiently. Zhou Huixi had an indescribable anger in her heart, she was very confused and disappointed, but she could only break her teeth and swallow it back in her stomach.

"I'm sorry, I apologize for my recklessness. I also apologize to you for thinking that I shouldn't have. But, I don't want you to forgive me. The feelings are my own, and they have nothing to do with you. ”

She stared at Mu Xuan quietly, and Mu Xuan also looked back at her in a daze, with secrets hidden in her eyebrows that she refused to tell and couldn't tell. She was tired, she only felt her eyelids become heavy, she rubbed her eyebrows, but the tiredness did not ease for a moment.

"I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She hung her head, and the last thing she wanted to see at the moment was his eyes. His eyes speak, and he speaks love words to others, and how little he calls her.

"It doesn't matter if you want it. Mu Xuan looked around anxiously. There was no third person on the huge campus.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Zhou Huixi shrank cowardly, "Ah, ow." She sniffed hard. "Ahem", Zhou Huixi hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Zhou Huixi, you. "I saw that her face was tired and her face was pale. Zheng Muxuan's eyes were full of guilt. "Ahem," Zhou Huixi coughed angrily in embarrassment.

Zheng Muxuan's hand hanging in the air trembled and lay on her shoulder.

"Brother Mu Xuan, I'm really uncomfortable, maybe my nerves were too tense just now, and I felt too tired at this moment, so I'll go first. ”

Zhou Huixi's voice was mixed with undisguised bitterness, and Mu Xuan's heart surged with acid. The corners of the silent mouth tightened into a horizontal arc.

Zhou Huixi finished speaking, trotted all the way away from Mu Xuan, and finally the thin figure disappeared in the misty night, but when her figure turned into the darkest starry point in the sky, she always looked extremely lonely.

"Hello seniors, I'm Xia Qiyue, please take care of me. ”

At 6.15 p.m. the next day, July appeared at the door of the orchestra's activity room on time, and she gently slammed the door on it, once, twice, four times. The sixth time, just as July's hand about to knock on the door was about to fall, a warm gust of wind rolled out of the door. Even more brain-warming than the hot air was the thunderous roar of the boy in the door. It was like accidentally being swept over by a huge wave and hitting the reef hard, which made people break out in a cold sweat, and July didn't hear it clearly from a long distance, but it was just a disturbing thought flashing in her mind, she thought of something.

July stepped back quickly with a hurried broken step, and was about to retreat to the corner. At the last moment, the door was opened from the inside by a powerful force, and Gu Beichen walked out expressionlessly, using his body against the door like an iceberg. His right hand was naturally inserted into his trouser pocket, and his left hand rested lightly on the edge of the door, and his slender fingers tapped rhythmically against the door frame. Because he had never probed July with a straight face, July only felt that the young man had a nameless fire all over his body, and he couldn't distinguish his expression, so he naturally didn't know where the fire came from. It's like impatiently giving her a dismount, but the difference is that even Liwei will at least probe the other party's bottom line, find out the spleen and then get angry.

July was stunned and looked at him blankly.

"Do you regret joining if you step back, or are you afraid, you can see that you are afraid of me. The black hair was gently raised in the wind, and the strands swept over the overly angular side of his face, and he slowly raised his head to face July. The right eyebrow without bangs has a well-defined eyebrow bone, and the deep tea-black eyes under the eyebrows flashed with an almost sharp edge.

"It's too late to regret it now, I am a kind reminder to take it as a gift for you. Gu Beichen blinked his eyes lightly, opened them again, and the sharpness in his eyes increased instead of decreasing.

"No, no. I'm sorry, learn, senior, I'm just, I just think it's a little rude just now. A stiff smile erupted on July's face, as vivid as an ancient Greek relief, but not real.

"There is no faux pas, you are in a hurry to enter the door to see Zheng Muxuan, so it seems that you can only be regarded as abrupt and rude. Gu Beichen said as he raised his left hand and gently stroked the broken hair scattered on his left eyelid, and then his hand rested on the edge of the door again. This time, July really saw that face clearly, gloomy with a domineering spirit, it seems that Qingyi's secret that he is Zheng Muxuan's partner and sworn enemy is by no means groundless.

"I, I'm here to report, I'm a new member Xia Qiyue. Out of politeness, July plucked up the courage to tentatively extend his right hand.

Gu Beichen's eyes stared straight at July, and even the moment July handed over his hand, he didn't subconsciously lower his head. He turned a blind eye to July's overtures.

July frowned slightly, at this moment her hand was hanging in the air was withdrawn, and it was not so appropriate to continue to stretch out. She stared at him nervously. The curvature of the corners of his mouth refused to relax in the slightest.

"Huh. Seeing that she was extremely nervous, Gu Beichen smiled funny. The gloomy face could be regarded as sunny, but the handsome face was clouded again.

"It's a little interesting, no wonder it can fascinate Zheng Muxuan. Gu Beichen mocked July.

"I, I don't understand what the senior means. July's face was slightly red, and he said uneasily.

"Who, who spoke at the door. Is it a new member who has arrived? Why are you talking so much about it? ”

The atmosphere at the door was so embarrassing that it exploded,

A familiar voice burst into the ear.

The voice was extremely gentle, as if it was the warm sun of melting ice.

"Why aren't you going to come in? What are you talking about, so mysterious and so high. Without waiting for the two people at the door to answer, Mu Xuan smiled again.

It seems that I am overthinking, and I should not have to worry about the integration of new members. Mu Xuan finished his words sentence by sentence. Following his voice, July kept asking for the source of the sound.

"This is another golden rank fan girl, right? Bronze can't get into this guy's eyes at all. Gu Beichen glanced up and down with disdain on his face, and looked around Qiyue one after another. "Be careful that the fox's tail will be exposed, do more and talk less, and then pick up the tail and be a man, as a piece of advice from your seniors. Gu Beichen poked his head out, and there was a hint of viciousness in his disdainful eyes.

July's face shrank back and stood back in place. "Thank you, you won't disappoint your seniors. Her smile has always been so polite, and a polite smile is the best cover for the anxiety in her heart.

Mu Xuan stretched out his hands and propped himself up by the window, and his tight-fitting white clothes vaguely revealed the outline of his abdominal muscles under the cover of night. The slender legs are only crossed at the calves. He watched with a smile as he watched what was happening at the door. Including Gu Beichen's appearance with full firepower, he also chose to watch it calmly.

"If the conversation was very pleasant, why did you put on such a posture to block the door? Oh, do you want to have more chats and strengthen friendships? But the New Year's party is getting closer and closer. You must know that we have not yet chosen a good song, and the injection of new blood means that this time our orchestra will have to take a new route. Time is tight, and we should start moving right away. ”

"Give you three minutes to recuperate. As he spoke, Mu Xuan slowly lowered his hand that had been supported by the windowsill for a long time, his arm was slightly swollen and numb, he raised his head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and shook his head, "One minute, long story short." ”

With the phrase "One minute." Floating out of Mu Xuan's mouth, Gu Beichen dropped his left hand pressed on the door frame with interest, and he looked sideways slightly, with a smile on his face.

July smiled, bright as summer flowers. At the moment when her shoulder was about to touch Gu Beichen's chest, Gu Beichen turned around again and stood still in front of Qiyue.

He held his head slightly and brought his mouth close to July's ear.

"In terms of ability, let me see how you joined the orchestra, a person who has no works and does not participate in the competition can directly sit in the second place, so you make me curious and fascinated. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not a nuisance. However, I'm not a scared person. If you don't have the means, I'll be the first to kick you out. ”

Gu Beichen retracted his face and laughed differently.

"Hahaha, interesting. The evil smile on Gu Beichen's lips made July a little nerve-wracked.

Qiyue was stunned for a moment, and the smile he had just put away bloomed in Gu Beichen's eyes again.

"Thank you seniors for your encouragement, July will try my best to sit in this position. ”

"You won't be disappointed. ”
