Black caftan, black cloak, black gloves, and ...... Black eye makeup.

It's like a humanoid crow.

Cheng Chencheng looked at himself in the mirror expressionlessly, glanced at Xie Caixuan beside him, and said indifferently: "This is the look you have thought of for three days?"

Xie Caixuan laughed a little embarrassed twice: "Otherwise...... Give it a try if you change it to a red one?"

Cheng Chencheng complained with a slumped face: "No, then I will mistake me for a turkey." ”

Cheng Chencheng no longer trusts Xie Caixuan's aesthetics. She washed the makeup off her face and changed back into her school uniform. Xie Caixuan didn't know why, and looked at her: "Are you preparing to play in uniform?"

"I'm not going to the prom, it doesn't matter what I wear. Cheng Chencheng said.

Xie Caixuan was stunned and said, "Why?"

In fact, she didn't think about participating in it from the beginning, if it weren't for Xie Caixuan who should have pulled her to try the witch cosplay she had tailored for her, Cheng Chencheng wouldn't even touch those clothes full of the sense of déjà vu of the second middle school.

Cheng Chencheng tied up his long hair and looked back at Xie Caixuan, "It's not too early, you haven't chosen what to wear yet." ”

Xie Caixuan suddenly blushed and didn't speak.

Cheng Chencheng understood as soon as he saw her like this. She folded the black witch suit just now and put it away, and told Xie Caixuan by the way: "Be careful yourself, if you continue to be so high-profile, you will probably be called parents." ”

Xie Caixuan leaned over and touched Xiao Jin, who didn't know when he jumped in, and nodded with a chuckle.

In the evening, Bai Yi flew to pick up Xie Caixuan. He was wearing a white suit, but the young man's body had not yet grown up, and he looked a little immature at first glance, although he was also handsome, but in the end it was different from the mature and stable temperament of an adult man.

Xie Caixuan changed into Snow White's suit skirt and wore a mask with fine workmanship on her face. Watching Bai Yifei take Xie Caixuan away, Cheng Chencheng suddenly had a feeling of marrying his daughter.

After sending them away, Cheng Chencheng returned home and saw Aunt Wang holding a large number of colorful clothes, standing at the top of the stairs and asking her: "Chenchen, what are you wearing to the dance tonight?"

Looking at Aunt Wang, who was full of excitement, Cheng Chencheng smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm not going tonight." ”

Aunt Wang's expectant look instantly collapsed: "You...... Why aren't you going?"

"I have a headache, so let's rest at home. Cheng Chencheng is a mental adult, following a group of high school students to participate in such a second-year masquerade ball, she feels unbearable when she thinks about it.

"You don't look sick. Aunt Wang looked at her, "It's interesting to go out and play with Xuanxuan and them when you have time." Her regret can be felt between the lines.

Cheng Chencheng smiled and did not speak.

Cheng Chencheng went back to the room and lay down to rest for a while, and in a daze, her mobile phone rang. Cheng Chencheng picked it up, and he didn't know if it was because he was about to fall asleep, the young man's voice was a little deeper than usual.

"Are you home?"

“…… Well. ”

"Aren't you coming?"

“…… Oh. ”

"I ...... Something is looking for you. Can I go to your house now?"

“…… Well. ”

hung up the phone, and after a long time, Cheng Chencheng suddenly reacted.

She sat up, sleepless.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Shen Xize called her again, he seemed to have a little cold, and his voice sounded muffled: "I'm at your door, can you come out?"

Cheng Chencheng lowered his eyes, was silent for a while, and hung up with a "hmm".

Aunt Wang, who was in the living room, saw Cheng Chencheng coming downstairs and was curious: "Are you going out?"

"Oh, I'll go out for a while. Cheng Chencheng took a coat from the hanger and went out casually.

The weather was already cool at the end of October. During the day, it had just rained coldly, and the wind was a little strong at night, so Cheng Chencheng was shivering.

"How do you know where my house is?" As soon as he saw Shen Xize, Cheng Chencheng frowned and asked.

Shen Xize stood there, against the moonlight, just looking at her quietly, without saying a word.

Cheng Chencheng glanced at him angrily: "Why don't you speak." ”

Shen Xize lowered his eyes a little gloomily and said in a low voice, "...... I'm sorry. ”

Looking at his pitiful appearance, I don't know what happened to Cheng Chencheng.

Cheng Chencheng sighed and said impatiently: "Say something quickly." ”

"I ...... Wants to take you somewhere. Shen Xize raised his eyes and looked at her for a moment, before he said cautiously, as if he was afraid that she would refuse or lose his temper inexplicably.

Cheng Chencheng glanced at Shen Xize inadvertently, and was about to refuse, but suddenly found that he was only wearing a white shirt on his upper body, which looked extremely thin in the bleak night breeze.

Cheng Chencheng was a little curious: "Where's your coat?"

Shen Xize didn't speak, his expression was dark.

Thinking of the young man's deep nasal voice, Cheng Chencheng was slightly stunned, and his expression became complicated: "You are here...... Waited for me for a long time?"

"I've been here in the afternoon. Shen Xize said.

"Then why don't you call me?"

Shen Xize was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "You said that you don't want others to know about your relationship with me......" Xie Caixuan was at her house in the afternoon, and Shen Xize called her in case she was heard, it was really difficult to explain.

"What about just now?" Cheng Chencheng asked, "Since you have been here, why did you call me again after more than twenty minutes?"

Shen Xize lowered his long eyelashes and whispered, "You just woke up, I'm scared...... You're in such a hurry to come out and catch a cold. ”

Cheng Chencheng didn't expect him to think so much about her. In an instant, she lost her temper. Shen Xize only looked at her, with a faint plea in his eyes, but he didn't ask her again.

After a long time, Cheng Chencheng sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, what place?" I'll go with you." ”

"Really?" Shen Xize laughed. Under the watery moonlight, his face is good to see but not real. Shen Xize's face is always a little sickly pale, so he usually looks a little gloomy. But now, he just smiled, catering to the same pale moonlight, which was so beautiful that Cheng Chencheng lost his mind for a moment.

The place where Shen Xize took her was not far from the Chencheng family's community. It's on the top floor of the building next door. The building is the tallest building in the city, and it is said to have made headlines in the city when it was first built. Shen Xize held her hand and walked in, there was no one to stop her all the way, and occasionally met a few passing staff, who only bowed slightly to Shen Xize to show respect.

Cheng Chencheng became more curious about Shen Xize's identity.

Take the elevator all the way to the top 28th floor. Shen Xize pressed the fingerprint identifier, and the door on the top floor opened, and it was pitch black inside.

Shen Xize led her in and turned on the light. All of a sudden, the room was as bright as day.

The sudden light was a little dazzling, Cheng Chencheng closed his eyes, and it took a while to gradually get used to it. She opened her eyes and froze at the sight before her.

This is a studio. In addition to the easel in the middle and the art tools scattered around, the walls are covered with portraits. And the protagonist of each portrait ...... It's all her. When she was sleeping, she listened carefully to the lectures, she was buried in physics problems, she was talking and laughing with Xie Caixuan, she was impatient with Shen Xize, and she was angry...... The whole nine yards.

It's like being watched every day by a psychopath.

Cheng Chencheng suddenly had some difficulty breathing. She withdrew her hand uncomfortably, turned around, and didn't look at Shen Xize: "I'm sorry, I don't want to see it." Let's go back. ”

Shen Xize's bright eyes dimmed instantly, he looked at Cheng Chencheng in disbelief, and said, "...... Don't you like it?"

Cheng Chencheng's face was cold, and he walked to the door and wanted to leave, but found that he couldn't open the door.

"It's useless, only I can open that door. Shen Xize said lightly behind her.

Cheng Chencheng was stunned, and his knuckles were white because he was holding the doorknob too hard. Thinking of what he did to Xie Caixuan in the original book, Cheng Chencheng asked coldly, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going to be unhappy. His voice was low, "I thought...... You'll love it. ”

"No one would like this terrible thing. Cheng Chencheng was furious, "Please, can you not focus on me all the time......?" I'm really disgusted that you're ...... like this."

“…… I'm sorry. He bowed his head and could not say anything other than this.

Cheng Chencheng was disgusted with the feeling of being pestered. She is indifferent by nature, and even for the people closest to her, she always keeps a distance. She couldn't stand it, being watched by such a person every second of everything.

She really, really, was annoyed.

"If you really feel sorry, let me go. Cheng Chencheng was ruthless, didn't look at Shen Xize's dejected expression, and said coldly.

Shen Xize raised the complicated feelings in his eyes. walked behind Cheng Chencheng and raised his hand to press the fingerprint reader on the top. He grew very tall, and a single raise of his hand was equivalent to shrouding Cheng Chencheng in the shadows.

As soon as the gate opened, Cheng Chencheng left without looking back.

"I'm sorry......" Shen Xize looked at Cheng Chencheng who was walking quickly to the elevator with an expressionless face, and the hand that was hanging down his side was holding slowly, slowly and hard, clenching little by little, the key hidden in his hand pierced into the palm of his hand, and blood dripped down his fingers on the floor.

"I'm sorry......," he whispered again.

It was meant to surprise her. It took him two months to finish the painting, but ......

"I don't need to. ”

He let go of his hand and tossed the key into the trash can beside him. The slight bangs covered his eyes because of the movement of his head down, and also obscured the dim light in between.

What is not needed is not worthy of love.

Like him.
