Chapter Twenty-Four: Will the Last Afternoon Before the Winter Break Be a Sweet End?
I don't know where I got two small rocking chairs and a small round table woven of delicate rattan in the cool summer these days. And what is even more enviable is that on the winter day of the ninth year, a few pots of lush small green plants are hanging high on the iron fence of the balcony that leans out. The verdant plant, which could tender out of the water with a fingernail, hung silently on the edge of the secluded wall. In a trance, there is an illusion that everything is revived.
Liang Xia sat in a small rocking chair, holding a fluffy bear in her hands, and a trace of dark clouds blew through her clear eyes. In a moment of hesitation, she slammed into the spirit. Then his hands twisted slightly, rotating the figure of the doll in his arms, and gently hummed the tune that was not in tune.
"That seat in the cafΓ© I'm here looking forward to who will return, and I can't go back from Cappuccino's grief
I really want to spread my wings and take you to fly to see how beautiful the starry sky is at night, Fate is always in reincarnation, and you have to chase a dream
Oh baby, do you know that I'm still here, and you're in that city, we're tens of thousands of miles apart
It's still drizzling at night in the alley, and of course I'm taking it here
I am alone here after the baptism of wind and rain, and how many days have passed and when can I look forward to it
You can come to my side, hoping that you can be in my ear, whispering and hoping that you can be coquettish and cute
Crazy around me is so fond of hangovers for me, no matter how much others persuade me, I don't get tired."
A lyric sang of her dry mouth, and she tasted the cinnamon that had cooled to a warm temperature, and through the faint heat swirling in the tea room, her big eyes that did not blink became more and more bright. "In July, the songs you and Brother Mu Xuan sang at the music festival that day were really good, and you never get tired of listening to them. Not only the voice, but also the photos that flowed from the scene, you looked at each other affectionately... β
"You don't have to say any more, Cool Summer. β
July, who was lying quietly on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes, she drank coldly, and a touch of urgent bitterness flowed out of her eyes.
Liang Xia sat quietly close to her bedside, she handed the plush toy into her arms, and grabbed her hand as white as the moon that almost showed its curvaceous outline.
July lay silently on the bed, and she sighed deeply. "Do you think this little bear looks good? Especially in this ivory tulle dress. Liang Xia ate and smiled, she brought the bear to the center of the two, she gently rotated the bear, the light veil as thin as the wings of the cicada in the eyes of July out of the blue wave of the beautiful arc.
"I'm not in such a mood, I'm sorry for sweeping your Yaxing. β
As the bear swirled, Liang Xia danced excitedly, and her already pink little face was red like a strawberry-flavored icing. July listened quietly to her sparrow-like self-amusement, she was curious that Liangxia would always look like a girl who didn't know anything about the world, even though there was only a year difference between them, and she wouldn't have been out of the modern ditch. July slowly pulled out the hand that was holding the back of her hand, her nose was sore, and even her heart felt uncomfortable. She shook her head slightly.
"I'm a little tired in the cool summer and want to rest more. July said with a stiff but polite smile.
"What's wrong, what's going on. By the way, why haven't I seen Brother Mu Xuan ask you out to play in the past few days, we will have to leave school in the next few days, and at that time, an afternoon tea time will become an unattainable luxury. And you haven't been quite right lately, you've been arguing again. Is there something going on between you that is giving you a headache? β
The shrill voice clung to her back as she hurriedly turned around, and her head ached uncontrollably.
July couldn't wait to cover her machine-gun-like mouth right away, every word she said, even every word that flew out of her mouth, was more sensitive than she could bear. She rubbed her dull head, her voice low as wheezing.
The hazel liquid from the white porcelain pot slowly flowed into the teacup. July looked at the swirling tea, she pouted slightly, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
"July, I really don't understand whether you are tired or not of living like this every day. If you are happy, you will be depressed, but it really doesn't work, restart and try it. β
Liang Xia frowned slightly, she deliberately slowed down and slowed down her every word. There was a little naughty in her straightforward tone. "If I were you, just live the present, I can't think about it that long. It's good to take one step at a time, how simple. β
Liang Xia wanted to understand such a greeting as care and greetings, and she conjured an identical cup from between her sleeves like magic, she gently pinched the handle of the pot with her fingers, her mouth was slightly tilted, sniffing the faint fragrance, and her smart eyes stared at the water line of the cup for a long time. She didn't notice that the eyes of Qixian Ni behind her were clearly cold.
There was another throbbing pain in his ears, and there was a little more anger in July's hurried voice. She was uncomfortable and didn't want to use polite words anymore. Although she complained, her heart was as uneasy as a drum.
"If only I could have a big heart like you. July stood up unhappily, her tone fierce and terrifying. She stared at her, and the fiery sparks in her eyes flickered constantly.
"I have a big heart, and my father often comments about me like this, and yes, I have always been very open-minded, and sometimes I always feel that there is no stone in this world that can trip me. Facing July's half-sarcastic, half-painful eyes. Liang Xia said without thinking.
She picked up a pale pink silk handkerchief from the table and wiped it on her fingertips attentively. She picked the most of the two teas, and pushed the cup to the side that was close to July.
July said with a wry smile helplessly: "It's too tiring to talk to you." She glared at her angrily, and her chest was full of breath. Thinking back to the words that Liang Xia didn't have any nutrition, she was really unhappy in her heart.
"Are you an idiot? I can't hear what I mean, I'm praising you or stepping on you. You don't have any counts in your mind. July's eyes lit up instantly, and she observed her for a long time, and the incandescent in her eyes slowly extinguished.
July's unintentional and unvented anger slammed into Liang Xia's heart like a heavy burden, and suddenly Liang Xia seemed to think of something. She looked at July fixedly, and there was an indescribable sourness in her heart. She cares about her very much, even if she sees her every day, it can be seen that she has always put on a stinky face lately, and she is still very worried about her, so worried that it doesn't matter if she gets sprayed.
"July. Her eyes flickered blankly, and the look in her eyes suddenly became strange.
The withered brown leaves fell quietly on both sides of the alley, and the brilliant Ferrari lay in front of Mu Xuan, and from time to time a hand holding a cigarette holder poked out of the rolled down window, and the sunlight poured like a waterfall between the swaying branches, and through the narrow gap between the leaf veins and leaf veins, a swaying shimmer quietly flowed into the moon-like vague snapping fingers. It was as if the light was left behind by a demon from heaven.
"You're still here, don't come unharmed, brother. Mu Xuan's voice was lonely with indescribable sadness, and there was a hint of mockery in the sadness.
"Bang dang. The doors were slammed shut, and the gold-like leaves and the withered brown leaves were carefully sifted by the bitter cold wind like a great wave of sand. The boy who stepped out of the car wore a pair of dark purple sunglasses that glittered in the bright light. He raised his head and glanced up and down at Mu Xuan with an arrogant look. He slowly circled to the front of the car, leaning on the front of the car with his legs folded.
"Find a place to talk, I don't have that much patience with you. But I think even if I don't have the patience, I'll have to have it soon. Because you touched something that belongs to me. His fingers gestured in the almost maddening low altitude of Solid.
"What can you do if you touch it, don't think that you are complacent for a while, and this life will be smooth. At least I'm in front of you, but whatever you like, I'll take it away from you. The dark and uncertain light and shadow were engraved in his inky blue pupils. His fingertips fixed on him.
Under the violent shaking, the branches made a faint sound of babbling and breathing, Mu Xuan slowly closed his eyes, but his pupils were still aimed at Song Minghao's direction, and when he opened it again, his eyes were red a lot.
"To understand it another way, you and your loving father are all the way, and if you are not his son, even a deceitful ghost, the ghost cannot believe it. I'm genuinely confused about your future, and I just like to do that dove and magpie's nest, but I'm looking forward to your performance when you look at Father Ling's actions. Mu Xuan smiled coldly, and said in a low voice. Mu Xuan's voice has a unique magnetic field, even if there are too many unsolved mysteries in his heart, but the emotion in his tone when he conveys it to others is faint, just like his voice is low and quiet, as if he is holding grievances for others.
Song Minghao looked at Mu Xuan's good-looking face for a long time, his mind became blurred, but if there were ten sentences on his lips, he only picked up the last sentence. He tried his best to control the unhappiness written on his face, and the roses that flew out of his lips didn't care and stabbed deeply into Mu Xuan's colic and sour heart.
"Why? I have nothing to do with you is already my greatest kindness, and my mother can't stand the presence of you and my aunt. But I, I ask myself, none of our family has ever hurt you. I even secretly mailed you pocket money. Even if it's revenge, why does it have to be on me? β
Song Minghao took off his sunglasses, his eyes were as dark as night, and the bottom of his eyes was as light as amber, just like the original noble and light violet.
"You haven't hurt me, can you guarantee that your family hasn't exterminated us? If it weren't for your father's insatiable desires and your mother's reckless coercion of my mother, she wouldn't have gone mad at all. The scar in his heart was once again violently revealed, and he roared in pain. The scenes of the years came to his mind again like an unfolded film. No matter how hard he tried to forget, that state of mind would not change for the better, on the contrary, if someone secretly cruelly lifted the old mark in the name, it was like being pushed into the abyss again.
Anger bloomed like a poppy in full bloom, with a viscous bloody aura, from the stamen beads to each heartbroken petal, layer by layer, and a hazy mist slowly disappeared in his obscure eyes.
"Your parents had my mother's blood on their hands, and they forced her to death. If it weren't for your hard work, she wouldn't have gotten sicker and sicker, and if she had been in good health, how could she have died under the wheels because of her distraction. Now tell me that you still owe me nothing?"
Song Minghao was guffed by his series of questions, in fact, he could have said nothing about those things that were not completely clear about the truth, so it would not be beneficial to persuade Mu Xuan to let go or to make it easier for him.
He froze in place, his eyes staring at him quietly. A breeze swept between him and his gaze, and between the swaying Moran's hair, his eyes were messy but black and white. It's like a sparkling gem hidden deep on the top of an iceberg.
"That little pocket money hehe, hahahaha, what are you doing with this little bit of kindness in the face of hatred, do you want me to forgive the unforgivable mistakes made by your family, or do I want to be grateful to you as a person. Song Minghao, you are too naΓ―ve. So naΓ―ve that I mourn for you. Do you think you're going to be on your own? Daydreaming, like your father, only makes me feel sick, disgusting. In the snowfall that danced wildly, the flickering light like broken gold meteors under Mu Xuan's eyes gradually dispersed, and finally there was only a bottomless black cloud like a deep pool.
Song Minghao bit his lip heavily, and under the blue sky, the resentment reflected in his eyes burned like the sun. He glared at him fiercely, and at that moment his usual dignity was challenged by others.
"Do you really love Xia Qiyue? Do you have to bring an innocent pad on your back? July she's a good girl. "I know you must hate me, I've had everything you crave since I was born, but the reality is already like this, what else do you want to do. No matter how carefully you plan, Auntie will not wake up, and everything in the past will be irretrievable. Even if there is really a time machine in this world, the father will still meet the mother, and he will still make a trade-off between his lover and interests. Song Minghao lowered his head and stared at his eyes, he took a deep breath, and the purple halo in his eyes became more and more intense.
Even if it weren't for my mother, my father would have thought like that, even if you met someone else, you would still be living the miserable situation you are today. Song Minghao's tone was resolute with a faint malice, but after listening carefully, it seemed to be nothing.
"You persuaded me to let go, why didn't you persuade your mother to stop in the first place, and why didn't you persuade her to give my father back to me. You're turning around and scolding my mother for being blind, aren't you?"
Mu Xuan was wrapped in that narrow shadow, and he still stubbornly stood in place in the fierce snow crystals. His tone cooled, and the speed of his speech increased suddenly. "Do you know the pain in my heart? Boy, have you experienced it? Do you want to try what it's like to be taken away from everything by someone else?"
Mu Xuan smiled mockingly, and even his tone was extremely rough when he was in extreme pain, and he stretched out his arm and landed on the front of the car fiercely. With this heavy punch, the car emitted a rapid and rhythmic siren. "Hahaha, that's funny. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Song Minghao's nose with a painful laugh. For a moment, his face was cloudy, and the anxious gaze in his eyes was both frightened and complicated.
Song Minghao unconsciously pinched his fingers, he was like a stuffy gourd, looking at him distractedly. His legs trembled unconsciously, his fingers trembled unwillingly, his pale lips with purple spots opened and closed nervously, and his bright eyes remained unmoved, despite the tiredness on his face.
For a long time, for a long time, he opened his mouth, and he couldn't squeeze out half a word between his twitching lips.
"Hehe, there's nothing to say, right? However, for you as a good girl, I will definitely marry her as you wish. Mu Xuan spread out his palms and sat in the front of his car, at this moment he was like a hedgehog covered with barbs, and every word that came out of his mouth was mixed with a saturated ** taste: "That's right, a lot of family property is on the bright side, and she is so smart that she is different, the key is that her heart is towards me." He stretched out his finger and slammed it into his colic heart. "Even if the first two points can be ignored, this one benefit alone is enough for me to use for a lifetime. Those material things may be destined for me to fail, but the complete love I am missing, only she can give me. Mu Xuan looked at him quietly, and countless cold needles seemed to radiate from his blue pupils. Song Minghao's heart suddenly tightened.
"Do you know what you're doing? You're humiliating yourself. I think if your mother had known from the spring, her spirit in heaven would weep for you. She must be standing beside you with tears in her eyes right now, telling you how unworthy it is. β
Song Minghao looked at him in a daze, his raised head slowly lowered, he looked at him regretfully and apologetically. "And my mother, if she had known that you had pierced the thorn in my heart all this time, she would not have let you go. β
"Enough, save it, Song Minghao put away your tricks to deceive people. Don't you like Xia Qiyue very much? Okay, I'll tell you with my actions what the price of loss is. And you just said that your mother will seek revenge on me, right? Even if she doesn't trouble me, I want to make her more troublesome, after all, I have nothing, so what else do I have to fear?"
"Oh" Mu Xuan's eyes rolled and rolled.
"Then if I insist on robbing Xia Qi from you, will you stop?" the voice squeezed out of his clenched teeth.
Zheng Muxuan smiled, his snow-white lips were printed with dotted tooth marks, and the inlaid pink was like a withered powder rain.
Song Minghao hesitated, the sunny sky suddenly became gloomy, and then the cold wind suddenly rose, and there was a silvery white light like waves everywhere, and the cold spots of light were dazzling.
"You won't. β
He staggered backwards, his stumbling gait like a tumbler that could be shaken off at any moment.
"You won't, I said you're all the way, you've saved enough disappointment, and you've been saved up to despair and can't be healed. β
The sporadic snowflakes were finely clinging to Mu Xuan's pale face.
Mu Xuan closed his eyes, his eyes were pitch black, and at the end of that pitch black world, there was a dazzling light and shadow. Then everything in front of me became hazy again. He stared at the snow-white world, which was full of blood. He saw a familiar face, a weak and pale face slowly covered in blood. The weak hand hung in the dark red shadows, and a rippling mist of blood spread out from behind her fall.
Mu Xuan couldn't forget that scene, he swore that everything he lost, others would not be allowed to gain.
"You can dream, if Song Minghao doesn't pull you into the abyss, I won't be blind to death. Doesn't father think very highly of you as a son? Okay, I'll let him see your most embarrassed side, and I can imagine how disappointed he is. If you throw that black heart in the trash, do you think even dogs will dislike it? β
Song Minghao grabbed his body, he shook him violently, he hoped he would wake up from that nightmare. He cried out anxiously, "Wake up, do you know what sin has tormented you? If you insist on going your own way, you will only hurt those who love you, yes, Auntie's death was an accident, but if it weren't for the different world from you, she would be very heartbroken to see you like a demon. Song Minghao listened carefully to what he said, his eyes were no longer blank, but more concerned about the bottom.
"Shut up. Mu Xuan's eyes showed deep annoyance.
"Anyone in this world can say such things to me, but only you are unworthy, remember boy, you are not worthy. The velvet-like snow slowly fell on Mu Xuan's white fingers stretched out at the wing of Song Minghao's nose.
"Take everything I have, you take it away one by one, is this kind of life really what you want?" Song Minghao waved Mu Xuan's shoulder.
"You won't be happy, no matter what you'll be like in the future, at least you'll feel guilty now. His tone shocked all the creatures in the white world, and Mu Xuan's nose was full of sweat, as fine as a spider's web as if he had just come out of the sauna.
"Shut up for me. He stared intently into his eyes.
"You don't, you're not a bad person. So you're bound to be very remorseful. Song Minghao grabbed his hand and it was swollen and hot.
"Get out, get out. Mu Xuan shouted in a muffled voice. "I don't want to listen to your fallacies. β
"Don't live in the shadow of the past, don't make up for the love debt of the previous generation with more mistakes, so that there is no difference between you and your father. β
Mu Xuan's facial expression became more and more hideous.
"Although I feel sorry for you, I still won't let go, I won't give you the opportunity to make a mistake again and again, and I won't give you the opportunity to hurt my family, Zheng Muxuan, be sensible, Auntie, she must hope that you can come out of the shadows of the past, and then live well, and live seriously with her love. β
The snow of the jungle stung his cheeks fiercely, and the snowflakes flew over the loose collar and floated into Mu Xuan's constantly twitching chest, In the cold wind, he vaguely heard his pulsating heartbeat, was it an illusion? He was slightly stunned, and two different voices kept overlapping in his ears, one was more charming than the summer sunset, and the other was warmer than the warm winter sun.
The room was silent,
In the midst of scorching uneasiness.
Liang Xia opened her mouth dumbly, and she slapped the toy she had been fiddling with for a long time on the table. Then slowly lower your head.
"I'm sorry. July looked at her with disappointment written on her face. "I have a terrible headache, and the words I say are unintentional, don't take it to heart. July said worriedly. "I've been so confused lately, so chaotic that I don't want to talk to anyone, so please, don't ask me again, and don't mention Zheng Muxuan in front of me again. You spoke like a chestnut exploded in front of me, and my ears hurt and burst into flames. You left me alone for a moment. β
July's tone eased slightly, and she turned her face back, her figure pale and lonely in the dim sun. But she still tried her best to maintain that bright and polite smile. She turned her head again, her eyes surging with white waves.
Liang Xia slowly stood up from the chair, walked in front of July, and gently protected her cold palm on the back of her equally cold hand. She closed her eyes and inhaled softly, her eyelashes fluttering like fluttering butterflies. She slowly opened her eyes again, her eyes full of guilt. Even the words that came out softly revealed frustration and anguish. "I'm sorry, I can't help you, it's just that Miss is sad, and Liang Xia is also upset. β
"If you're not happy, just take my breath out of the air, it's better than not being able to do anything to help, and I'm glad to have that value. "The cool summer sound is kind and warm. Even the floating stars under the eyes are as clear as autumn water.
"You. β
July looked at her in shock, she gently stroked her cold little face, "The person who should say sorry should be me, the words I just said, damn it." What did I say?" July thumped her head hard, and she looked at the deep eyes of the cool summer and felt pain.
Liang Xia couldn't help but lean out slightly, and gently raised her hand to hug her arm. She tugged her into her arms, her graceful chin resting softly on her shoulders. "Don't be like this, the more you do this, the more sad I will be. Miss, ah no, it's Sister July. She twitched numbly as her frozen facial muscles calmed.
"I shouldn't have spoken to you so loudly, and my answer was unkind, but I was really unintentional, and I felt like a madman and a fool compared to your thoughtfulness. July said softly, and then hugged her petite body tighter.
"I've been going crazy with depression lately, although I know very well in my heart that I'm thinking endlessly every day. After all, there was one less promise and a gorgeous confession between me and him. I always feel that I can't accept such feelings, what is the difference between this and ambiguity. I really don't know if I can't accept anything, I think I can't accept such an irrational self. β
July let go of her, and she sat on the ground in disappointment. "Cool summer, I have never been so reckless in the past 20 years. β
Liang Xia fanned those big good-looking eyes and smiled softly at July. That smile is always as warm as the characters in the comics, and it is extremely unnatural.
"I know that, you don't have to explain. I grew up with you, how can anyone in this world understand you better than me? I understand your helplessness as the successor of the Xia family, and I also understand what expectations and desires you have for the future. β
Liang Xia seems to have found a breakthrough, and she continues to look for July's hesitation.
"You don't have to apologize to me, being true to you is your biggest apology to me. β
Liang Xia looked at her with a slight smile, and then she ran to the small balcony with her hands and feet neatly and picked up a tray from the table where she had just had afternoon tea, on which a glass of juice and three dorayaki were placed in an orderly manner.
"I learned it for you, I almost ordered my aunt's kitchen for these gongs, you can try it. Liang Xia pretended to be very happy and laughed.
July's eyes never left her, and she smiled knowingly. No matter how Liang Xia created the image of a sunshine, she felt the loneliness in her heart.
July gently rubbed her wrinkled face. "Okay, Xiaxia, don't be angry with me anymore. β
"Uh-huh. She nodded mischievously, and her realistic acting skills left July a little overwhelmed.
"Alright, alright. I just remembered that I still have to help Hola stack a thousand paper cranes next door, so I'll go over first. Liang Xia said hello to July perfunctorily, and then she left the room quickly, gently slamming the door before leaving.
