-- Calm things down.

This idiom couldn't be more apt here.

Lin Lin and Fu Liushen, aren't they blaming her for not solving it privately, but making a big fuss on the Internet.

Joe continued: "With all due respect, the so-called peace of mind in you Chinese, in my eyes, is nothing more than a secondary harm to the victim. My dad taught me from a young age that if someone punches you hard, you have to hit you back with more force so that he won't dare to bully you again. ”

It's a very deep subject, and Miki doesn't say much, just repeats Joe's words.

"You're right, cultural differences. ”

"It's not just cultural differences. Joe reversed his previous remarks: "You know that in our America, there are some states that have no back down laws. Specifically, it means that when the other party has lethal force and there is a high probability that it will immediately be used against itself. For example, if a woman is about to be sexually assaulted by a man, she is not legally liable if the woman shoots the man before the man does so. ”

Joe looked at Miki, who looked confused, and stopped talking.

"Sorry, that's too far. ”

Miqi smiled, thinking that I don't know if you are far away, because I don't understand it at all.

However, although many times she couldn't understand what Joe was saying, she had to say that with his company, it was not so difficult for more than ten hours. Joe always seemed to be busy, and before he reached his destination, he said to Miki with an apologetic face, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry, I can't accompany you to your boss." ”

Miki hurriedly said that it didn't matter and thanked him for taking care and caring along the way.

Joe went to the hatch early to line up like last time.

When Miki was in China, he couldn't wait to conjure up a pair of wings and fly to New York in a second. But now that I'm actually in New York, I have a feeling of "being closer to home and more timid". The thought of seeing the person she was thinking about day and night made her feel a little nervous, and her steps became lazy. I almost want to do something else to distract myself.

She got off the plane leisurely, took a good look at the airport, and finally calmed down. Taxi, she showed the driver the yellowish piece of paper she had received from Andre, who made an OK gesture and sent her to the Manhattan Conservatory of Music in New York. Miki stood at the door of the school, waiting for Gu Huo to get out of class.

At dusk, more and more people are coming out of school, and it should be time for the end of class.

Miki stared intently at the people who came out of it, resolutely not letting any of them go.

Finally!

In a crowd of blonde red-haired and brown-haired people, she sees a black head!

Gu Huo carried his schoolbag on one shoulder and walked with his head down, not noticing that there were people waiting for him at the school gate.

Miki couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and she shouted his name as she crossed the layers of the crowd.

"Guho ——!"

Gu Huo stopped abruptly and stayed where he was. He slowly turned towards the source of the sound, an expression of disbelief on his face. When he saw that it was Miki, he looked very excited, and his eyes were full of surprise. But he soon frowned again, and his eyes became complicated.

He stopped, and Miki had no choice but to catch up.

Walking in front of the man, the smile on her face suddenly became shy, and the courage to shout his name just now disappeared, and suddenly turned into a little girl who twisted and pinched.

"Hi, long time no see. She lowered her eyes slightly and said in a low voice.

"Hi. Gu Huo looked down at her, his thick eyelashes rolled down, and his eyes were deep. His voice was also low, and seemed a little dry and hoarse.

Miki inexplicably felt a little burning on his face. They hadn't seen each other for months, but she felt like she was seeing him for the first time. He is still the frustrated third-tier artist, and he is also an excited fan girl. As soon as I saw him, my brain turned into a mess, and I didn't say anything, only giggled.

But now she is not the only one who is smirking, and the frustrated third-tier male artist is also smiling silly.

The two of them bowed their heads and giggled in the surging crowd, until someone disgruntled and told them to stay out of the way, and then they came back to their senses and walked out of the school gate together.

Gu Huo and Mi Qi walked side by side on the road, the two of them looked down at the road, with a smile on their faces, and neither of them spoke.

After a long time, it was Gu Huo who took the initiative to break the silence.

"Where did you get the money to come to the United States?"

As always, although he has been in New York for a few months, he has not learned the romantic energy of foreigners, and he is still the straight man of the universe.

Miki said: "The air ticket and visa were all handled by Andre for me. ”

Gu Huo nodded knowingly, similar to what he had guessed. Since Andre asked her to come, it must have been for that thing. So before Miki could speak, he spoke first.

"I'm not going to audition. ”

Miki furrowed her eyebrows: "Why?"

Gu Huo didn't speak for a long time, and finally said a little self-deprecatingly: "Like me, I don't have any brains and no scheming, and I am not suitable for the entertainment industry at all." It was a mistake for me to enter the entertainment industry, but I didn't realize it before. ”

After arriving in the United States, he calmed down and thought about those chaotic things, and carefully combed through the context, and it could be clearly seen that if he had not been seduced by Su Xueren at the beginning, then everything that would have happened later. What made him even more ashamed was that he was later guided by Su Xueren and said a lot of excessive things to Miqi. Every time he thought of the situation at that time, he would always break out in a cold sweat, and he was not himself during that time, but a marionette manipulated in the hands of Su Xueren. Not only actions, but even thoughts were firmly controlled by the woman.

He was bewitched by the beauty and became dizzy, which not only hurt Miki, but also caused TheRava to stop its activities and caused significant financial losses to the company. To paraphrase an old saying, he is now "faceless in the face of Jiangdong's fathers". When he thought of all the evil deeds he had committed, he was so ashamed that he wanted to disappear from the world. He's a scourge, a drag on everyone. Although everyone forgave him, he could not forgive himself. According to his current thoughts, he just wants to stay quietly in a foreign country alone, and atone for his sins with loneliness and loneliness.

In the face of Miqi's question, he seemed to have countless words to pour out in his heart, but in the end he only said one sentence.

"I hurt you. His voice was filled with guilt and apology, "I'm sorry. ”

In fact, Mi Qi had been waiting for this sentence before, but now that he heard these two words as he wished, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he was full of distress for Gu Huo.

"You hurt me, and I hurt you. She pouted, looking indifferent, "You punched me first, and then I stabbed you." The two of us hurt each other, neither of us was sorry for anyone, and neither of us owed anyone. ”

Gu Huo later heard from the forest that she instructed Duan Zhengnan to expose himself on the Internet, but he had already sobered up at that time, so he didn't hate her. It's her own fault first, and it's normal for her to be angry. And according to her character, it would be strange if she didn't retaliate.

Miki continued, "Since you feel ashamed of your teammates and the company, you have to participate in the audition. You're the lead singer of TheLava, and the group can't do without you. If the lead singer is not you but someone else, then TheLava is not TheLava. ”

Gu Huo said very negatively: "Maybe it's not that I'm better, I'll just drag everyone back." ”

Miqi said a little anxiously: "Since you can easily forgive me for my mistakes, then why can't you be a little more tolerant of yourself? People make mistakes, and you can't deny the whole of a person because of a small mistake, especially when that person is yourself." ”

Gu Huo admitted that what she said made a lot of sense, but now, he was so decadent that he didn't think about the future or his dreams or anything. He just wants to stay quietly alone, if this is the case, those tricks in the entertainment industry will not be able to hurt him.

Miki quickly saw that his choice of escapism was essentially a means of self-preservation. She couldn't condemn him for doing so, because man is an animal that seeks profit and avoids harm. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, he is afraid of the well rope, he is a cautious character, and he will naturally be more sensitive to this aspect of things.

Mi Qi suddenly stopped, Gu Huo didn't pay attention at first, only to notice after taking a few steps, and turned his head to look at her with some confusion. I saw her stop in place, her eyes down, her eyes flickering.

“…… In fact, we all know very well that your personality is not suitable for the entertainment industry. ”

She said bluntly.

Gu Huo shrugged his shoulders and said a little self-deprecatingly: "But I didn't know before, and I naively thought that everything would succeed if I had a dream." ”

Miki continued, "Under this premise, I shouldn't advise you to go back, because you will be happier if you are an ordinary person." ”

Gu Huo's eyes drifted to the white dove walking in the square, not knowing what she wanted to say.

"But Guho, what I want to tell you is that TheLava is more than just your dream. You gave up your dreams, and at the same time the dreams of Andrei and the forest. Do you understand?" Miki raised her eyes and stared at him quietly.

Gu Huo still looked at the white dove, and his mood was very complicated.

"-Do you have to give up Ah Xing's dream?"

As soon as Ah Xing said these two words, Miqi's tears flowed.

Gu Huo turned his head abruptly and looked at her in a daze.

“…… Do you know Ah Xing?" his voice trembled, and his lips trembled.

The wind rose, and the wind blew the corners of their clothes, and the girl's messy hair was tangled in the wind,

"Ah Xing is a part of me. I am Ah Xing, and Ah Xing is me. Her pupils were as dark as night. "When Ah Xing left, he left you with his dreams. And what he left me was his heart. ”

Gu Huo's eyes widened. He understood every word she said, but he couldn't understand every word she said.

Miki walked up to him and took his hand and placed it in her left atrium, a heart beating vigorously in her chest.

"This heart was donated to me by Ah Xing. Miki was in tears, with a nostalgic expression on her face and a very gentle smile. "Ah Xing gave me a new life, and I also gave him a new life. ”

Gu Huo felt the heartbeat under his hands, strong and energetic, just like the impression given by its owner.

He thought that he would always see Ah Xing again, but he didn't expect them to meet again in such a dramatic way.

He finally couldn't hold back his tears, "I've always missed him. ”

Miki closed her eyes, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.

"Me too. ”

Ah Xing, Gu Hengxing.

Her friends, her loved ones, her comrades-in-arms.

Whenever I think of the boy's flamboyant smile, my gray heart is like a beam of light.
