He "woke up". He was staring ahead with round eyes, his gaze not landing, he was sweating profusely and panting. His right hand was still pressed on the dark stone tablet, the stone tablet was not broken, Rao was he injected all his strength, but the stone tablet did not even have a trace of cracks.

It's just that the stele regained its solid dark color, and stood there quietly, as if nothing had happened, as if he had just put his hand on it.

My heart was empty, like something had been taken away.

I felt like an alley in my chest, and there was a cold blow blowing through the hall, and he couldn't tell what it felt, but it was very unpleasant.

He turned his face sideways in a daze, looked at Lin Suqing blankly, and before he could even breathe, he asked with doubts, "I just ......"

At the beginning of the words, he suddenly didn't know where to start, he couldn't tell what he had just experienced, but he realized that he wanted to cry even more.

How did you become so crying? He disliked himself a little, and the more he disliked it, the more he couldn't help it. The eye sockets swelled unconsciously, and the nasal cavity was unconsciously sour.

"Are you awake?" Lin Suqing's voice sounded in his ears again, this time it was so close.

"I just ......" Xiye said and turned his face away, I don't know when his face was full of tears, and from time to time there were new tears, and he couldn't stop rushing down.

"I seem to have a dream...... his voice choked, his throat tightened, he wanted to calm down but couldn't, "let me make a choice......" his vision blurred suddenly, he wrinkled his brows, pursed his lips tightly, and couldn't say any more. He tried his best to hold back his tears, and his brows and eyes were wrinkled together, but tears, tears did not listen to his control.

He turned his face to the stele, sometimes lowered his head, sometimes raised his face, and tried all kinds of ways to forcibly withdraw his tears. Everything is false, why shed tears for the illusion? So unbearable, so weak.

Lin Suqing saw the expression of the night in his eyes, he thought about it for a while, and probably understood the mood of the night.

Seeing the night so sad is not a pleasant thing to think about. Moreover, he said that he made a choice, and making a choice is not a pleasant thing in itself.

"At night, crying is just an ordinary physical expression, just like when we are sleepy, we can't help but yawn. There's nothing wrong with shedding tears. Lin Suqing said, "Moreover, it is sometimes used to express cherishment and respect, and sometimes, it can also express our happiness and happiness." It's actually a very noble emotion. ”

Lin Suqing's tone was flat, not hurried, nor reasonable, but casually as if he was telling what dish he had eaten before, and what the ingredients used to make this dish were, as casually as if he was bored and idle.

"We're no longer babies who don't know anything. However, he specially used the new word that Xi Ye learned, and Xi Ye has always found this word very interesting, "I personally think that at an age like ours when we are sensible and know right from wrong, those who can cry loudly are truly brave and strong." Lin Suqing paused slightly, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Listening to it and thinking about it, I felt that what Lin Suqing said was a bit winding. When he reacted, he found that he couldn't control his sadness no matter how hard he tried, but when he listened to Lin Suqing's slow words, they quietly stopped, and did not continue to invade the depths of his heart.

"Xiao Qingqing, do you have something sad?" he faced the stone tablet and looked at himself with tears on his face in the dark stone tablet like a crystal and a mirror.

"Yes. Lin Suqing replied to him very decisively, and his tone was still as calm as ever.

"Will you cry then?"

"It used to be, but not anymore. ”

"Why?"

"I didn't have the courage to cry. ”

Xiye turned his head and looked at Lin Suqing quietly: "I didn't understand." ”

The corners of Lin Suqing's mouth twitched, as if he was smiling at Xiye, and said with a somewhat lonely expression: "You'll understand when you grow up." ”

Again. Xiye muttered unconvinced, he had heard this sentence a thousand times. Why can't we know many things now, and we don't know until we grow up?

Lin Suqing glanced at the night deeply, it was not a pleasant thing, and the more he talked, the more sad he would become. So he took two steps, put his hand on Xiye's shoulder, and said, "Congratulations on your successful registration, you are now included in the registration history of Sanqingxu students." ”

One is to divert the topic, but also a comfort.

Although it is not clear what kind of struggle the night has just experienced, it is definitely not easy to infer from his expression.

In that short period of time, Lin Suqing witnessed the changes before and after the night - he was suddenly shocked, suddenly happy, suddenly sad, and suddenly tears rained down......

Seeing that Xiye's face was full of confusion, as if he was still thinking about Fang Cai's experience, Lin Suqing interrupted again: "Okay, it's my turn." ”

The night that has always been quick to react suddenly became much sluggish, and the reaction was always a few beats slower.

"Night, it's my turn. Lin Suqing patted him the shoulder when he reminded him again.

At this time, Xiye came back to his senses, and he withdrew his hand blankly. only to find that his palms were full of sweat. He rubbed his fingers in a distracted grip and sweat that was slightly cold after leaving the stele. It was this hand that shook my father's hand...... But......

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something...... When he came back to his senses again, he raised his eyes and saw Lin Suqing clutching the sleeves of his coat, and was raising his hand to press the dark stone tablet.

I saw him slowly stretch out his hand, and the distance between his palm and the stone tablet was only one finger's width......

"Xiao Qingqing!" stopped him in the evening.

Lin Suqing was startled, put away his hand, turned his face sideways and asked Xiang Xiye: "What's wrong?"

This question made me stunned at night. For the first time, he had a new understanding of the words "what's wrong"—if he just asked "what's wrong," he was asking what was going on. However, when the person who asked these three words said it with emotion in their hearts, it was really different.

Nightfall suddenly understood a lot of things, but he didn't want to say it.

"Not really. ”

"Oh. ”

Lin Suqing reached out again to ......, "Xiao Qingqing." The evening was another shout. However, this time, Lin Suqing expected it, and he expected that he would call him again on the eve of the night.

"Say it, what do you want to say. Lin Suqing simply withdrew his hand and rubbed the sweat that had already appeared in his palms on his robe.

"Hmm...... I ......" Xiye suddenly smiled inexplicably, pointed to the dark stone tablet, and said in a tone that was not procrastinating, and said very neatly: "I want to remind you that there is something wrong with this stone, and it may kill you." If you don't pay attention......" As he spoke, he didn't know what to say, and his mind was in turmoil, and Mogami began to speak incoherently again.

"What will happen?" Lin Suqing asked along with him.

"Whoever appears, don't follow him. ”

"Let's go?"

"Uh-huh, if you go, you may not be able to come back. He couldn't describe it, and he wasn't sure if he would "not be able to come back" if he followed, but the experience just now made him very uncomfortable.

It's obviously a kind of perfect dream, but when I think about it, I feel inexplicably palpitating. He said he didn't understand the feeling for no reason, so he hurriedly told him about his experience.

"You suddenly feel so sleepy, so sleepy that you can't open your eyes, but you can't sleep, you may not wake up when you sleep. It is...... It is...... Anyway, you don't want to follow anyone!"

"With whom?"

"My father. Evening blurted out.

Immediately, he felt embarrassed, and his eyes suddenly began to dodge.

"Don't go ...... anyway"

Before, I had never seen such a hesitant and evasive side of the night.

"Good. Lin Suqing agreed.

Xiye looked up stunned, blinked his eyes, and said, "Maybe it'...... You're not seeing my father......"
