Chapter III: Provocation
It was late at night when she returned to Zhuo's house, and the heavy night may be too deep, and even her steps were slowed down and it seemed a little difficult. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
……
"We can't help ourselves, but you...... Ever thought about jumping out of this siege? ”
……
The words he said as he left still rang in her ears.
Jumping out of the siege, what can she do? She has never escaped the predicament of fate, why should she try again, and once again make herself bruised. He is so good in the eyes of everyone who does things almost perfectly, such a man is the pride of the heavens, she is just a on the branches, even if she can see him, but she can't walk side by side with him, she doesn't have that kind of qualification. She, Zhuo Meng, once thought about marrying Miyano, but their union was something that her family would never allow, his family ...... I don't necessarily agree.
It was just a distant and beautiful dream, just her fantasy. Unrealistic dreams can only be dreamed of, and she can't ask for luxury.
"Zhuo Meng!"
A cold and mean voice came from overhead, and Zhuo Meng stopped and looked up at the moment when she saw Zhuo Yu, she was not surprised at all. Not wanting to entangle her more, she just thought that the person in front of her did not exist, bypassed her, and walked straight towards her room.
"Stop!"
She wanted to calm things down, but Zhuo Yu didn't want to, so she stopped her, and she strode in front of her, because the place where she was standing was one step higher than her, and she was like a proud princess interrogating her slave.
"You've been to the music room today?"
couldn't hide, she simply didn't hide. Zhuo Meng still wanted to avoid her provocation and answered her question simply.
"Nope."
"No?"
Zhuo Yu took out a pocket watch necklace from her palm, held her elbow with one hand, and showed her the necklace.
"That's weird, I thought you dropped this necklace, and I wanted to say that I would give it back to you if I saw you tonight, but ...... Since you said that you haven't been to the music room, it may be that I recognized the wrong thing, and I didn't pick it up if I knew it, and let me wait for you here as a good person. ”
Seeing the necklace, Zhuo Meng subconsciously looked for it on her chest, the necklace was really gone, she secretly screamed in her heart, thinking that it must have fallen when she ran away in a panic this afternoon. Catching up with Zhuo Yu's malicious gaze, she boldly begged her for her necklace.
"Give me back the necklace."
Zhuo Yu's hand holding the necklace suddenly clenched, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Then you're admitting to going to the music room today."
"Yes...... I just passed by there and didn't see anything. ”
She didn't want to admit it, but she also had to bow her head in front of her. Zhuo Yucai didn't believe her words! Throwing the chain in his hand at her feet, Zhuo Yu wanted to slap her pretty face.
"Zhuo Meng, the ghost believes that you didn't peek at me?"
Zhuo Meng glanced down at the chain on the ground, very angry, but she didn't have a seizure, she just glared at Zhuo Yu fiercely, and forbeared...... This thing is also terrifying. Squatting down, she picked up the chain on the ground, and she was neither angry nor angry at Zhuo Yu's teasing. Zhuo Yu just wanted to make a difficulty, but she had already taken the lead. Picking up her necklace, she looked at Zhuo Yu, the smile on her face faintly disdainful.
"Yes! What if I see it? ...... Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about that. ”
Zhuo Yu didn't believe it. Taking a step forward, she grabbed Zhuo Meng's hand vigorously, with a fierce face on her face.
"How do I know you didn't say it, besides, you didn't say it now, you won't in the future? …… I'm telling you, don't think I'm afraid of you if you grab my tail, you don't have that ability! ”
"And what are you afraid of?"
Zhuo Meng raised her head and questioned her, her eyes were sharp, Zhuo Yu was intimidated by the sharp light in her eyes, and she forgot to refute for a while. Putting aside her hand, Zhuo Meng glanced at her and said, "I don't have a bad taste for revealing other people's privacy, you can rest assured." ”
She turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhuo Yu.
"Don't go...... You don't want to leave until you make it clear to me today. ”
Looking at Zhuo Yu, who was making trouble unreasonably, Zhuo Meng was also helpless.
"Instead of pestering me here, you might as well check your behavior more, and don't let people catch the little tail next time."
"You! ……”
Zhuo Yu had nothing to refute, she had always been weaker than Zhuo Meng in terms of lip service. Zhuo Meng was not afraid of her, she pulled her hand away, and she took her chain back to her room. Zhuo Yu was left behind, and it was useless to stomp his feet in anger.
……
On Sunday, Zhuo Meng finally had a day of vacation, and Zhuo Meng had no after-entertainment programs to do, so he could only stay at home and review his homework. The phone rang suddenly, and she looked up from the book and looked at the familiar name on the screen, but she didn't pick it up right away as usual.
She lingered for a long time between answering and not answering, and the mobile phone rang again and again, and she finally couldn't fight his stubbornness.
"Hey ......"
She picked up the phone, but there was silence on the other end. She didn't speak, and it didn't feel wrong for them to be silent like this, but they were all content with the silence.
"I ...... Going to go. ”
He still said goodbye. She was stunned and smiled here, even if he couldn't see it, she didn't want to send him off with a bitter face.
"Really...... I know, you won't be here for long, you're ...... When to go back to the U.S.? ”
She tried her best not to show loss in her voice, but there would still be reluctant nostalgia on her face.
"Tomorrow."
She couldn't keep smiling, he said. Tomorrow, she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Oh...... Tomorrow...... I have a class tomorrow, so I won't send you there. ”
She said, and he was silent for a moment.
"Good ......"
"Goodbye ......"
Saying goodbye, she hurriedly took the phone, no matter what kind of stunned expression he had on the other side, she couldn't hear him say "goodbye", she was afraid that she would cry when she heard his voice again. Throwing down the phone, she ran to the floor-to-ceiling window, holding on to the window railing, covering her breathless chest, she breathed hard in the fresh air, hoping that her heart would not be so painful......
Outside the window, the father and daughter were laughing in the garden, and she watched them, gradually calming down.
Even if she is sad here, no one will feel sorry for her, others are still laughing and laughing, and who will care about her grievances.
......
She still can't let go after all. The next day's class, she didn't listen at all.
After taking notes from the professor's lecture, Shi Luoluo turned around and saw Zhuo Meng wandering again, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about her.
"Zhuo Meng, are you okay?"
Shi Luoluo asked her in a low voice, she had never seen Zhuo Meng so abnormal, and it must not be a trivial matter to think that something that could annoy her, Zhuo Meng came back to her senses, and when she saw her friend's worried eyes, she was a little upset.
"It's fine."
She smiled at Schlolo, but she didn't know how far-fetched and bitter her smile was. Picking up the pen on the table, she prepared to take notes on the professor's lecture.
"Eh......"
Schlolo saw the six-pointed star bracelet on her wrist and spoke out curiously.
"I haven't seen you wear this bracelet, did you buy it new?"
Zhuo Meng glanced at the bracelet on her wrist, and although she was still smiling, it made people feel that her smile was stiff.
"It's not...... It was given by a friend. ”
"It's from my boyfriend, right...... Miyano? ”
She teased her, her eyes full of envy.
"Don't talk nonsense, you know I'm not in that relationship with him."
Schrollo didn't say anything, reached out and stroked the chain on her hand, her eyes flooded with longing.
"Hexagram...... It symbolizes the perfect union and eternal love between men and women, and he really has a heart. ”
Schlolo said with envy and a little jealousy.
"Lolo, do you believe in eternal love?"
Zhuo Meng suddenly asked her this question, and Shi Luoluo raised his head and was a little stunned.
"To be honest, I don't believe in eternal things, even if they exist, it's too long, and I still fear it before I experience it, I'm afraid that it will disappear in the next second, and I don't want to be so attached to things that will disappear at any time, so I don't tremble so much."
Zhuo Meng also feels the same way, eternity, is really something that people yearn for and fear.
"But ......"
Schlolo said again.
"I still believe in love, even if it is short-term and bitter, I want to seize even a moment of brilliance."
Even if it's short, you have to seize the moment of splendor, she, do you want to try?
"Lolo ......"
"Huh?"
Zhuo Meng suddenly grabbed Shi Luoluo's hand seriously, making Shi Luoluo look stunned and frightened.
"I have something to do, you can help me cover it up."
Before Shi Luoluo could react, Zhuo Meng had already begun to slip away.
"Hey...... Zhuo Meng......"
Shi Luoluo still wanted to call her back, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the professor, besides, how could she get back an iron-hearted person?
......
In the secret base, she searched in the grass for a long time before discovering the legendary truant tool. This is a tacit understanding between only a few students, and she also overheard it from Schlolo, because it is a remote location, there is no personnel management, and there are many trees outside, which is a great place to skip school for fun students.
She never thought that one day she would use such a tool to skip school, she has always been a quiet girl, only knows how to listen to the words of her teacher and father, climbing trees to skip school, this is the first time in her life.
She was already embarrassed when she escaped from school, and even left a lot of scratches on her calves. But she couldn't care so much, as soon as she ran out, she stopped a taxi on the street and went straight to the airport, she was very anxious all the way, and cold sweat broke out in her palms.
It's so late, I don't know, she can't catch up.
......
At the airport, Miyano sat in the waiting room and kept looking at the watch on his wrist, as if he was waiting for the plane to take off, as if he was waiting for someone. The airline announcer was already reminding passengers to board the plane for the United States, and his face couldn't help but look a little lost. Picking up the little luggage around him, he didn't want to miss her and miss the flight again.
Although she said that she would not come today, he subconsciously believed that she would come to see him off, and even if he couldn't see it, he thought that she might be hiding in a place he couldn't see, so he had to carefully check the places he passed by, and he was afraid of every opportunity to miss her figure.
"Miyano!"
Her voice, he stopped abruptly.
