Tide (19)
The editorial office of the literary club is quite simple, in a two-story old-fashioned attic next to the playground, the wooden floor creaks and trembles when stepped on, the vermilion outer wall peels off gray bricks, and a rusty old clock hangs low above the eaves.
entered the editorial department together, in addition to Wang Huijia, there were two other girls, but Lan Tong didn't know anything.
The cramped and damp editorial office already made Lan Tong depressed, and the disparity between four women and one man made him even more cramped and uneasy.
"Let's introduce ourselves!"
No matter where Shen Ke's smile blooms, it has the magic of a warm spring in people's hearts. She sat at the desk near the window, the mottled shadow of Gui swaying faintly from the window, and a milky ballpoint pen resting quietly between her fingers.
"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Jing......"
A girl with a ruddy face and a double whip stood up from next to Wang Huijia, stood up and said confidently.
The second one stood up to introduce Wang Huijia, but when she got up from the chair, she only heard a "bang-" sound, and the pale blue skirt hung on the protruding nail cap of the chair, and a long tear appeared on the smooth silk satin.
Wang Huijia's cheeks turned red, she lowered her head in embarrassment and rubbed her fingers, stealing a peek at Shen Ke in front of the window for help.
"You go back first, I'll let you know if there's anything."
Shen Ke's eyes were full of flowing concern, Wang Huijia glanced at her gratefully, grabbed the corner of her skirt and ran out with a "...... bang".
"Which of you two will introduce you first?"
The blue pupils who were a little distracted, hearing Shen Ke's voice, were slightly shocked, and when they looked up, they saw her fair and transparent cheeks, immersed in the light of light and darkness.
The girl next to her looked quite shy, and she sat there uneasily and couldn't get up.
In desperation, Lan Tong could only stand up stubbornly, as if she saw Shen Ke casting an approving glance at her.
"My name is Blue Eyes, and I'm fromβ"
"Huh! It turns out that you are Blue Pupil, I always thought it was a girl! β
It was a sharp and crisp female voice, looking for prestige, only to find that it was the most shy girl just now.
Looking at the gazes cast by everyone, she also realized her gaffe, and her pink cheeks turned into ripe red apples.
"No...... Sorry, I didn't mean to, I ...... My name is Yan Xiaofu. β
Her eyelids were low, and her slightly trembling voice was unrecognizable by the end.
"Blue Pupil, the front of this issue, you can write it!"
In the long and dim corridor, Shen Ke said to Lan Tong who was standing next to her while holding the key to open the old lock.
"The frontispiece? It's not ......."
Lan Tong couldn't bear such a heavy love, and was reluctant to agree, so as not to make the other people unhappy.
"Nothing out of place, this is a task for you!"
Shen Ke turned his head, and his tone suddenly hardened. There was a crisp sound of "pop-", and the deadbolt fell. Blue Hitomi stood there, not knowing what to say.
"Okay, come in, there are still a lot of manuscripts to be proofread!"
Shen Ke's voice suddenly softened, and she looked at her back as her blue pupils melted into the shadows, thoughtful.
"Shen Ke, I heard that Lan Tong is in your editorial department!"
Lin Luyao sat on the white porcelain-covered flower bed, shaking his legs leisurely, and the strange beans in his mouth were chewing rattling.
"yes, you know him?"
Shen Ke's father and Lin Luyao's father were comrades-in-arms and were assigned to the same unit, so the exchanges between the two families became commonplace, and the relationship between Shen Ke and Lin Luyao was also very close.
"Don't just know each other!"
Lin Luyao's slender false eyelashes reveal an eerie sheen in the sun. Shen Ke's heart sank with a thud.
"What do you think of the mascara I just changed?"
Lin Luyao raised his eyebrows, closed his eyes slightly, and leaned in front of Shen Ke.
"I don't have any research on this!"
Shen Ke pushed Lin Luyao away with a smile, the confusion in her heart was uncomfortable, she didn't understand how Lan Tong knew Lin Luyao.
"Do you do it with such great energy! Don't...... Do you want to murder your own husband! β
Lin Luyao leaned back exaggeratedly, dodging Shen Ke's powder fist, and said with a smile.
"Beautiful you! Look at the next time you come to my house, it's strange if you don't clean up! β
A layer of red light appeared on Shen Ke's face, and his slight breathing was like the overlapping of clouds.
"Alas! You can't really fail to see it, do you! I'm using Shiseido's new curly mascara today! β
In the depths of Lin Luyao's tone, there was a faint hint of disappointment. Shen Ke took a closer look, only to find that her eyelashes were really more curved than before.
"By the way, you and Blue Eyes ......"
After all, she couldn't help it, and despite the uneasiness in her heart, she still asked.
"Oh, you say that melancholy boy! I liked him a lot and went to him a few times. β
Shen Ke's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the water, hitting the cold pebbles.
She knows Lin Luyao's family background, and she also knows her means of conquering boys, regardless of Lin Luyao's own conditions for the time being, few boys can resist her continuous sugar-coated shell attacks. Lin Luyao's previous boyfriends were either superior in their studies or outstanding in appearance, and none of them were inferior.
This time, however, her target was Blue Hitomi.
Why is it him?!
Over the years, he was the first boy to fall into her sleep besides Kogi. He was also the first boy to linger in a diary since she developed the habit of writing a diary.
"What's the matter, Shen Ke, are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing Shen Ke's pale face, Lin Luyao grabbed her hand and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm going back."
Shen Ke pulled out his hands, turned around and walked back.
Her tears, the moment she turned around, suddenly and irrepressibly rolled down, without warning.
"Xiao Ke, do you see my beautiful wings?"
Blue Pupil's smile was a warm mess, and he landed his gentle palm on top of his head, rubbing it gently. Behind him, a pair of white and transparent wings silently opened and closed in the air.
"Well, it's so beautiful!"
She felt her words insincere, but she couldn't control her lips.
"I want to fly in the depths of the blue sky, will you go with me?"
Her white teeth glowed in the sun, and her bright smile was like a dense net that encapsulated her layer by layer.
"I ...... Don't want to! β
Her heart had soared to the nine heavens with joy, but when she heard her own hesitant and cold voice, her whole body trembled, and tears welled up in the edge of her eyes. How can it be answered like this, how can it be like this...... She obviously wants to go with him?
The sorrow in his pupils condensed one by one, piece by piece, and the foggy surface of his eyeballs blocked all shopping.
Her heart was dripping blood, dripping down with a clear "pop-clad-clad-" sound.
The wings behind him grew lighter and larger, and the white wings turned into the color of white clouds, making a slight grinding sound against the air.
β¦β¦
She saw his resolute figure disappear into the depths of the azure sky. The grieving body loses weight, a gurgling sound of despair coming from deep in the throat.
β¦β¦
Shen Ke woke up from her midnight sleep, cold beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, she hugged the soft futon, curled up at the head of the bed and wept silently.
