Chapter 71: Two Worlds (1)
Looking at Bai Xiuli in front of him, who he no longer knew, Xu Xincheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sighing, he sighed at such an amazing change, and sighed at the beauty that had passed.
"Xincheng, you're here!" Zhou Dedao's smiling big round face appeared in his field of vision, blocking Bai Xiuli's figure, and he put two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine on the bar table as he spoke.
Zhou Dedao immediately noticed his abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"
As he spoke, he turned around, and looked in the direction he had just been looking, and after only a moment, he turned around, and the smile on his face turned into endless sympathy, and he raised his hands and patted his shoulders, and said, "Alas, brother, I understand!"
Xu Xincheng took a deep breath, then exhaled that breath loudly and asked, "She...... Why is Beauty here tonight?"
"On Thursday afternoon, I learned that she was on a business trip in Guangzhou these days, so I invited her to come over, but she said that she was very busy these days and had not confirmed whether she could come, and she only confirmed that she would come about two hours ago. I wanted to give you a big surprise, so I didn't tell you. ”
"What you gave me is not a surprise!" he said with a wry smile.
Zhou Dedao sighed loudly again, the expression on his face changed from sympathy to pain, and he said with a sad face: "I am also very shocked! This year, although I have often chatted with the White Lady on WeChat, I haven't seen her for a year, so I really want to meet her." She arrived more than twenty minutes ago, and when I saw her just now, I was shocked to see her beautiful outfit. Our White Lady has really changed, and has become too big and too big. ”

On the second Saturday after meeting Bai Xiuli, at the strong request of Zhou Dedao, Xu Xincheng introduced him to her, but unexpectedly, in less than a week, he and Bai Xiuli became familiar like best friends who had known each other for many years.
From that time on, Zhou Dedao called Bai Xiuli the White Lady.
Later, part of the reason why he and Bai Xiuli were able to get together and officially become boyfriend and girlfriend was because Zhou Dedao pushed them out.
Later, after Bai Xiuli and Xu Xin broke up, Zhou Dedao also spent a lot of effort and effort to try to help, trying to save the relationship between the two.
It's a pity that no matter how good a girlfriend is, it can't compete with the family affection between mothers and daughters, nor can it compete with the cruelty of the real world.
In the first month after the two broke up, Zhou Dedao often invited Xu Xincheng to have supper together, chatted with him, and enlightened him with his heart.
But he himself was also very sad, crying from time to time more uncomfortable than Xu Xincheng, he said that when he was a child, he watched "The Legend of the New White Lady" for the first time, and when he saw Xu Xian and the White Lady being forcibly separated by Fahai, he cried so much that he couldn't cry. This time, he could not help but grieve to see such a similar scene in reality, and to see his brother suffer such an unfair fate.

Xu Xincheng sighed: "Yes! It's become too big." ”
"Come, let's have a drink, brothers. ”
As he spoke, Zhou Dedao picked up the bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, he raised the glass high, and said with emotion: "To the most innocent and beautiful days that we have passed." ”
After clinking glasses, he drank it all to himself.
Xu Xincheng only took a sip, he has no penchant for wine, not because he doesn't like the taste of wine, but because he knows that wine can't completely change his mood and state, even if he gets drunk, he can only be exchanged for a night of forgetting, and the next day, the mood and state after waking up will not only not be better, but worse and worse.
Rather than that, it's better to face the harsh reality from the start, try to change it, and if you find that you can't change it, then accept it.
For the cruel reality in front of him, he knows very well that he can't change it, and at this moment, he can only accept it. Just like two and a half years ago, he had to accept a reality that was much crueler than the reality in front of him.

On the last day of the winter vacation of his junior year, Xu Xincheng woke up at half past five, and then he was in a state of great joy and excitement, and he was going to see Bai Xiuli who he hadn't seen for almost a month.
Although both of them have kept in touch during the winter vacation, he has not smelled the beautiful fragrance of lilies on her body for almost a month, has not held her soft hands for almost a month, and has not walked by the stream with her who is as beautiful as a fairy for almost a month.
He returned to school three days early, and during the winter break, he read nearly 2,000 more poems and selected 90 of them. The reason why Bai Xiuli enrolled in the Department of English and American Literature is because she likes poetry and literature very much. He knew that she would love the poems, thirty of which were ancient, thirty modern, and thirty English.
Over the past year or so, he has also composed more than thirty poems on his own, from which he has selected the best nine poems, three of which are ancient poems, three are modern poems, and three are English poems.
He bought a beautiful notebook, and he had to spend two days copying the ninety-nine poems into it, and the day before school started, it happened to be her birthday, and he wanted to give her this handmade book of poems as a birthday gift.
Xu Xincheng knew that he could not buy expensive watches, necklaces, bags and other gifts for her.
In the first year of their relationship, she had no interest in those expensive accessories, and she was also very aware of his family status, so she never asked him to give any expensive gifts openly and secretly.
But since her junior year, Bai Xiuli has changed, and she began to like to talk about all kinds of expensive accessories she wears, all kinds of watches, necklaces, bags, etc.
And he only has a pitiful living expenses every month, and he usually earns very little money from his part-time job, so he really can't buy any expensive gifts for her. For this reason, although Bai Xiuli didn't say it to him directly in person, when the two chatted, she would always knock on the side intentionally or unintentionally.
Xu Xincheng obviously felt that the displeasure in her heart was increasing day by day, obviously felt that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther apart, and obviously felt that her mind was gradually alienated.
In order to bring her closer and bring her back to her original place, he is determined to prepare a beautiful birthday present for her.
For this reason, he was distressed for a long time, even if he really gritted his teeth and spent two or three thousand yuan to buy her a pair of earrings or a bracelet or something, they were still far from the grade of the expensive accessories she usually wore. So, buying high-end accessories is not the best option.
One day, shortly after the start of the winter vacation, just as he was once again in deep distress, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind about the idea of making a book of poems with his own hands. He was thrilled with the idea, and he knew she would love the special gift.
---------
In the morning, at 10:10, he was the only one in the dormitory, Xu Xincheng took out the gift paper he bought in the stationery store last night, and carefully packaged the book of poems he had just copied with his heart.
He hurriedly put down the poetry book he was wrapping and opened his phone to check it.
More than an hour ago, he sent Bai Xiuli several WeChat messages, but she never replied.
In recent days, it has been like this, all the replies have to wait for a long time, and the content of the replies is very short, and even many times, he has sent more than a dozen WeChat messages in a row, but he has only received one expression, and sometimes it is still an expression that does not match the content he posted at all.
In the past few days, he tried to make video calls to her many times, but she didn't answer, he could only send a message to ask her with concern, whether she was uncomfortable during this time, whether something unpleasant had happened, and whether there was something at home that made her unhappy, but she either avoided answering or sent an expression that she didn't understand.
Xu Xincheng knew that something must have happened, otherwise she wouldn't be like this, but what happened?
He had a very bad premonition.
I had no choice but to wait until I saw her and ask her what was going on. Judging from the current situation, it's not that she's not feeling well or anything, that's fine, as long as she's healthy.
Xu Xincheng clicked on WeChat, it was a message from Bai Xiuli, great, she finally replied, she wrote in WeChat: "My mother is sending me to school, she said she wants to see you and talk to you." Is it okay?"
"Absolutely. ”
After about ten minutes, she sent a second message: "We expect to arrive at half past eleven, the same restaurant as last time." I have called to book a room, room 11. ”
"Good. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!"
