At the beginning of Xia Qiyue's joining the school orchestra, the school had a new person, and countless pairs of eyes were fixed on these two people for a while. "Zheng Muxuan paves the way for his crush girlfriend", "Xia Qiyue and Zheng Muxuan's sprint acceleration may be officially announced soon", "Xia Qiyue is obsessed with school grass and comes prepared, just as the so-called opportunities are reserved for scheming girls who are ready for everything", "How Gu Beichen got out of the ambiguous siege and became a tsundere single dog" There are so many nonsense that they are outrageous. And the hot headlines that make it impossible to see the outline are as complex as paved gravel.

Mu Xuan fans have spied on these two people many times stepping on the sparkling stars everywhere, and together they used their fingers to break through the fog barrier in the middle of the night, through the thick and miserable night, and then both disappeared into the little-known campus forest, and when they returned to people's sight, it was the moving scene of reluctance in front of the dormitory building on the 29th in July, which was really like the dancer's final head just by listening to the students. From the slightly lazy bright autumn sun, to the setting sun, even the open-air café has scheming to clear the two people in the secret conversation.

I don't know who is so quick to post the photos and videos that I secretly took on the campus network. In the giant photo, which has been magnified to the point of almost paste, the two of them appear hand in hand in the fresh and elegant school garden under the bright glow of dawn. Through the colorful beaded flowers of the warblers, the two of them tacitly wore white clothes. Just look at the shy face of July as he gazes. It's hard not to be resentful. This photo is the best proof that the two are in love.

I can't help but say that Xia Qiyue has become a big and generous person and wears the first crown on the list of "Qingyi's Top Ten Most Hated Girls". As for this strange love in the world, when everyone was still peeping into it, no matter where she went in Xia Qiyue, the people who chewed the root of her tongue always used these gossips as teething sticks after meals, and even before the meal arrived, they had to use them as desserts to occupy their stomachs, so all kinds of ill-intentioned fallacies gradually spread throughout the school. Waiting for this relationship to ferment to the point where everyone knows it, I heard the secret legend of the school that July's best friend in the class had been maddened A

If it weren't for the school leaders who noticed something unusual when they took people to visit the campus, they immediately dismissed everyone, I am afraid that the cool summer would have to spend the rest of their unstable lives under the cold wind.

If no one lifts this veil, the dreamlike foam will never come true.

In another month is the final exam, it is said that the assessment of Qingyi is very difficult, compared to the list of knowledge points in the book, people pay more attention to the divergent thinking of students. No, everyone sat in the class with a thick sea of questions, and even the corridors were surrounded by students who came to study. The intense state of preparing for the exam lasted from late into the night until late at night. In the sultry floating wind, I don't know whose sweaty feet made the surrounding classmates unbearable and angry.

The cool wind mixed with the slanting rain slapped the floor-to-ceiling windows, and even the fine ash in the window grooves rolled in the flowing air from time to time. Unconsciously, the window faintly wafted into the fishy smell of dirt, and the fishy smell mixed with the smell of the feet in the classroom made people's stomachs churn and their throats nauseated.

The sour smell spread to the depths of the room with the cool wind from the window, and the students at the window took out tissues to wipe their red eyelids. Even the rain in front of the window is getting heavier and heavier. But the students in the front row still stood up and pushed the chairs into the table after muttering dozens of times.

The sound of low breathing and the sound of small footsteps gradually became lighter. In the end, only the LED screen was still playing the course review, and the teacher with the title of "Exterminator Tai" was still talking in front of the blackboard on the screen.

Liang Xia pinched the corner of the book with both hands, and a pair of big watery eyes slowly narrowed into a line, probably because the eyelids were too heavy, and Liang Xia's eyes on page 43 were blurred and out of focus.

The sparse figure gradually drifted away, and in the hot and cold wind, Liang Xia's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the wet forehead hair lightly touched the flattened 43 pages, accompanied by a rapid sneeze, and a teardrop rolled out of the eyes. "Tie!" Liang Xia's head slammed against the table in front of him. "Hey, cool summer, don't sleep, it's almost the exam, how can you still sleep. Xia Qiyue laughed, and then she reached out and gently shook Liang Xia's shoulder, Liang Xia raised her hand to cover her mouth that was busy yawning, when her swirling gaze slowly returned to parallel, Liang Xia rubbed her sleepy eyes, raised her head and looked at the dazzling white screen, and said angrily: "Alas, I'm annoyed to death with so many subjects, you said that we don't want to stay here after graduation, all day long in addition to rote memorization is to turn over and over and trample on the hard things, what do you say is the use of all this?"

"That's why you're a nail scumbag who thinks it's useless, in fact, knowledge and knowledge seem to be clearly divided, but there is not necessarily any correlation between disciplines. The first few days I read Weibo, the popular headlines said that a certain world's top designer moved Chinese style embroidery to the catwalk in Milan, just brushed out the scene of the scene is luxurious, not to mention how shocking, it is said that the clothing in the exhibition area from the style to the embroidery process is not the product of the same historical dynasty. This shows that art and historiography go hand in hand. July tilted his head sideways and smiled at the cool summer on the side. "Didn't you shout for the first two days that when I got engaged, you must contact the designer to make a haute couture?"

"Well, leaving aside Gao Ding for the time being, even if this subject is useful, it will be useful to you, if it weren't for the fact that my father and your father told me to be by your side all the time, I wouldn't want to waste time on such a boring subject, and I feel that my whole youth has been wasted. Liang Xia held both sides of the book with both hands, and said to July beside him with a cold expression.

"Besides, don't you also see a different scenery from the textbook?" As he spoke, Liang Xia closed the spread book and glanced at July with a cold and almost loveless expression.

"Hey, what are you going to do when you graduate in July? Do you still want to be a designer? I've heard you talk about it for more than ten years? I still remember when I was a child, once I didn't like the white gauze dress that my mother bought, and I had to take it off my body noisily, and my mother tried her best to take me off. Finally, when you got out of kindergarten, you heard my intermittent crying and trotted all the way into your bedroom, and I watched you pinch a pencil and draw back and forth around your skirt in a decent way, and then it was just a simple thing to make up, at best, it was only five minutes of work, and a little dress like a handicraft was born. ”

The cool summer pupils are as black and pure as a jewel, and the jewel the size of a pigeon's egg is just right set in the soft eyes of the clouds in the early morning, even if the lips are not picked, the smile in the eyes is as bright as caramel.

"Even if I love to make two mistakes, but I just know that the identity of the designer is more suitable for you than anyone else, I will never forget the way you are holding my new clothes and excitedly circling around the room, Dad said that you are happy and your eyes are full of twinkling little stars, but at that moment I clearly saw the whole sea of stars in your dark ink pupils. Liang Xia's eyebrows and eyes smiled, and even the corners of her lips were as sweet as touching honey.

In the dense foggy classroom, what kind of feelings flowed in Xia Qiyue's eyes Liang Xia couldn't see clearly even if she sat closer, and vaguely, Liang Xia only heard July sigh long, she raised her head slightly, and thought about Liang Xia's words very seriously. July silently looked out of the distant floor-to-ceiling window, the cold raindrops slapped the window wantonly, and the imprint of the rain was like a shallow kiss mark fixed on the crystal reflective window. The cold north wind shuttled through every corner of the corridor, and through the cool summer of July beside her, she looked at the narrow gap between the door and the wall, except for the sycamore that was about to lose its life when it was beaten, and what filled her vision was the big cold snow mist flower.

At that moment, there was a very soft snort that seemed to tremble slightly in the cold wind.

Liang Xia stretched out her right hand and gently pressed it on July's lifeless fingertips.

"You are my daughter, and you must at least inform me of what path you want to take, and I will agree. ”

The elegant and retro beige lacquered wooden door next to the hexagonal bay window was slammed open from the outside, and July carefully hid the outline of the line behind him, and a pair of pale brown eyes shimmered faintly in the crimson glow of the evening.

"Dad, why are you here. July stared at his father with stunned and flustered eyes.

"This is my house, you are my Xia family's daughter, can't I come in yet? In the first two days, parents will listen to your class teacher talk about your performance in school. Your teacher said that you always look absent-minded in class, either thinking about your mind or picking your hands. Your class teacher also said that for the sake of your future, let me take you to a doctor as soon as possible. ”

"Bang!" there was a quiet sound of the same force, and the door was slammed shut. This time, even the window at the end of the corridor was violently stirred by the strong wind.

"Xia Qiyue, I just rely on you too much, so you dare to come nonsense. ”

After an even louder commotion, a sharp roar burst like thunder in July's bedroom. July felt a fire scorching her, her ears ringing.

"You studied for an afternoon, and you learned these unpopular things, right? What about language books? What about math books? What about English books? Okay, you know that you fooled me with art appreciation and design introduction, right? Want to be a designer, hehe, foolish dreams, you give me a good look at it with wide eyes, how many domestic and foreign designers are there, and how many people are called by name. Look at the pictures in your book, can you be among them, and if you can do it, it won't be in vain for me to cultivate you. ”

July took the book from her father with trembling hands. Her fingertips gently touched the row of gilded characters on the cover of the book, mechanically whispering the pile of words over and over again. The mist in those eyes was like a nameless flower mark stained by thick ink and water.

And the father did not seem to notice the strange emotion in his daughter's eyes at all, and his voice was indifferent but firm.

"Give up, even if you succeed, you won't need this knowledge. Now that you are still a student, it is useless to look at these things, and when you graduate, you have to hurry up and form a new home, and your new home does not require you to work hard to make money. The child has some things to say, you should be the wind in your ears, and you will be more attentive when I say dead. Isn't the reason why I'm so angry is because this school is controlled by the Song family, who do you come into contact with every day, and do you make friends with delinquent teenagers, but whenever your Uncle Song asks, do you think your teacher will hide it for you? As long as you can keep up with your poor grades, Uncle Song will not be difficult for you, but can you tell that your performance in school is a poor one?"

On the stone masonry of the corner hangs a bell carved with a hollow anemone pattern,

The cold north wind blew in, and even the fine pendulum of the clock shivered, and the huge room instantly resounded with a crisp and empty stream.

July's finger stopped at the end of the title page in small letters.

Under the frowning brow, July locked his eyes fiercely.

"When you have a family of your own, of course you can learn whatever you want, but remember that whatever you choose to do, take care of your family first, and work is nothing more than passing the time when you are idle and boring. July remember what I said, you can not be good, you can even be good for nothing, as long as you don't disgrace your father. ”

The snow fell more and more rapidly at dusk, and the dazzling snow particles condensed into goose feather-sized flakes in an instant, and the snow flakes fell like a rising tide.

Father Xia's eyes casually swept over the design book on the table, and looked back at the dark eyes that were deeper than a black hole, and the temperature at the bottom of the eyes alone was desperate to make all living beings fall to death. He glanced sideways at July. "Dad, can you trust me once, I will do my best to capture her. I won't let you down. And Father, I know that you are good for me, but I am already sensible, and of course I know what is best for me. I know that Dad values background and status very much, but as far as Dad told me, if I did what you wanted, what do you think I could do with my life? How can a person who is not responsible for himself be responsible for his family? I am now deprived of even the freedom of choice by you, and I will not be slaughtered by others in the future. July's eyes were full of pleading, and a pair of tender little hands kept gently grabbing his father's legs that he had just grabbed.

"I promise that it will not affect my grades again, and I promise that I will be in the top 10 of my class in the next exam. The first line doesn't. I'm going to get the first place in my grade. Don't you always tell me that you should prepare more for yourself at any time? I don't rely on my parents or my partner in my summer and July in this life, and I will definitely get ahead by my own efforts. My father is my pride today, and I will be my pride in the future. ”

"Daddy" July's chest was slightly heaving.

Father buried his head deeply, his gaze flowing silently over the dark purple cotton wool blanket in front of him. "I'm sorry. There was a faint apology in his tone.

"Dad!! why are you so nervous about such a trivial matter? ”

July had used almost all her strength, her voice was unusually sharp, and as every word came out of her mouth, her body trembled violently and uncontrollably, and she shouted hysterically at her father.

"Dad, how do you talk doesn't matter, when grandma was alive, you obviously promised grandma that no matter what kind of life path Xiaoyue wants to take in the future, you will not interfere with me. You obviously promised grandma. ”

The lilac curtains fluttered in the lonely night. Father raised his head, and in the dimming light, a crimson flew through his round eyes. Even the trembling lips added some indifference.

After the storm, the blood-stained starlight crept up into the sky, shuttling through the light smoke like clouds, July looked at her father, who had not said a word, and from time to time she looked down at her increasingly pale fingers.

"Yes, I said that, but you were young and you didn't understand anything, but now it's different, you're growing up. You should know what is best for you to do it. I just want to tell you, when you grow up, you will marry into the Song family, this is not a discussion but an order. What I want to get from you is not an explanation, but an answer. And from today onwards you don't read those fairy tales, it's those books that make you can't tell what is a dream and what is reality. ”

"In July, you don't have a rough experience, so there are some things that you can't tell the difference between stupidity, but there are also people who don't understand much truth until the moment before they die. Dad is a person who has come over, so he naturally knows what is the greatest protection for you. ”

I also mentioned that those warm images flashed in July's mind like a movie.

"Daddy".

July's eyes kept flowing, the flushing under the eyelids had not subsided, and now even those eyes were like roses in full bloom. There was a faint light in the rose's pupils, and that light was full of her heavy hope.

"July, do you know why I have indulged and spoiled you so much? You have never disobeyed me since I was a child, and I have never scolded you. That's because any of your choices don't have anything to do with the bigger picture. And the only difference between you and your uncle's children is that you have no interest in anything but playing, and I'm afraid my daughter is a complete piece of waste as others say. If your qualifications are mediocre, it's not that you don't want to pay attention, it's that it's hard to be attentive to anything. It's hard for me, a father, to raise my head. ”

July's fingers were unusually white, even the lines of the palm were precipitated with the darkness when the flowers fell, and the ten fingers overlapped slowly tightened, and as she continued to pump, the temperature of the fingertips slowly disappeared.

"Bang!" the closed window was shattered by a huge hailstone, and the lilac tulle was wet from the rain that had rushed into the room.

The house was filled with the smell of withered flowers and grass petals mixed with the soil and gradually eroded and withered.

July raised his eyes, and his chest sank violently like a raging wave. With angry eyes, she chased after her father and quickly dodged to the side. The resentment that had been hidden from the beginning to the whole time also hit my father like a burst of water at that moment. From time to time, there was the sound of real teeth clenching fiercely between weeping.

"What's the use of you saying this, you can't do it, Dad, you can't do it, you can't do it, but you obviously can't do it. Why, why did you promise the old man that way in the first place? You gave my grandmother a comfort, and you gave me a hope. It is more annoying to have hope and then fall into despair than to never give hope. ”

"Dad, I don't want to hear you say anything good for me, Dad, you can't, you can't, you can't do this, you're doing this to me. ”

July's eyes could not hide her loneliness, and her hand that was pulling at her father's trouser leg gradually froze, and her hateful gaze was also frozen.

"You always tell me that I am a member of the Xia family, what kind of sacrifice I have to make for the future of the Xia family. I am your daughter, not your captive, and I am not your weight. Of course, I will still work hard, and I will work hard to be the pride of Xia's. I will never be willing to be manipulated by others for the rest of my life. ”

At this moment, July seems to be a dying trapped beast, even if she is deep in the quagmire of loss and can't distinguish the direction, then she has to hold on to the last dead grass on the ruins, she clutches the dead grass and struggles desperately. The snow-white skin on her cheeks gradually crimson like a rose after a rain, she raised her head high and stared at him with those eyes that were gradually darkening like a deep pool, and she whispered in a hoarse and almost broken voice:

"Dad, what you said is the right way to do it, then why are you stopping me now. Also, I don't want to get married early, I have my own way of living. ”

"Dad, you said that I can not be good but I can't keep my promises, I kept the promise between us, Dad, what about you, did you do it? You lied to me once, you lied to me, you made me think that you are different from those uncles. ”

"It's you who lie to me, you use lies to weave a dream for me with your own hands. ”

The air was filled with the smell of cool and mildew.

Outside the window, the snow was getting denser and denser, and even the sky was foggy near dusk.

My father and she stood opposite each other in silence, time passing like sand in the eyes of father and daughter who hated each other, and my father withdrew the light that flowed in my eyes, and raised his head to look at the dark snowy sky.

"In order for you to have a carefree childhood, I am hiding something from you, but deceiving, I have not lied to you. When you grow up and become a mother, you will know how sad it is to give your child a relaxed and happy childhood memory. ”

Father's hand fell lightly on July's younger and immature shoulders, and those hands pressed downward. July only felt that she was like a marionette, her shoulder hurt like a broken bone, she raised her head angrily and desperately, but when her eyes intertwined, July was stunned. The father's lips that looked down on him were bloodless, and his snow-like cheeks shone with a dull star. At that moment, July gave up arguing, and she swallowed all the unfinished words back to her stomach one by one. In the end, there was a helpless smile on his lips.

"Hey, what are you doing, what are you thinking about in July and being so distracted. Liang Xia stretched out, her eyes full of tiredness. She lifted her hand and pointed out the window at the dark sky surrounded by a thin layer of lead ash, but the clouds hung so low that they almost touched the roof of the building opposite.

"Liang Xia, please don't mention that white gauze skirt in the future. ”

"Oh. Seeing that Qiyue was embarrassed, Liang Xia still had doubts in his heart, but he still agreed very obediently.

"Okay. ”
