The countless green fluorescents that drifted in the wind drifted away along the trajectory of the wind, and all that remained was the remnant song that remained in the ears of the two of them...... In the remnant song, the drifting green fluorescence and the bright stars in the sky complement each other, and the scene is like a dream. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But Li Ai and Zhang Zhou, who were standing in different places, did not focus on such a beautiful scene, but were silent, each with their heads lowered, not knowing what they were thinking.

There was an unspeakable silence that slowly grew between the two, spreading, gradually spreading, gathering...... It flowed between the two of them, slowly accumulating into a huge mass, heavy, and lay in the short distance between the two, so insurmountable. The remnants of the song have drifted away with the wind, and even the flying green fluorescent light has been lost. At the top of the entire tall building, except for the two people who couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, all that was left was the whistling wind.

Maybe it was a long time, maybe only a few minutes later, Li Ai, who was standing at the door, moved the fingers hanging on his waist, then raised his eyes and focused his gaze on Zhang Zhou's back. She stared in silence for a moment, then opened her mouth, breaking the unspeakable silence that lay between them.

"Already...... It's late......" Her voice was a little choppy, as if she had some concerns about breaking the silence, and as if she was worried about whether Zhang Zhou could respond with just such words. But no matter what, she finally got the sentence out of her mouth. In just six words, it seemed to take a lot of her strength. After these six words, she lowered her eyes a little weakly, and waited quietly, waiting for Zhang Zhou's possible response.

"......" Zhang Zhou's body moved, and there was an obscure light fluctuating in his eyes. After a long while, he answered in a low voice. "Yes......" However, after only two words were spitted out, there was no follow-up. As a result, the silence that had been torn open spread again, filling the space between the two of them.

Li Ai waited for a while, but did not wait for his next step. She closed her eyes a little sadly, her lips trembled slightly, and it took a while for her to open them again, revealing her eyes that were full of exhaustion and had become very dim, and she said in an equally tired hoarse voice, "So...... Let's go back......"

Her spirit instantly became very obscure, as if she had lost a lot of energy when she closed and opened her eyes. Her voice was hoarse with a bit of inexplicable heartache, as if she had been hurt by something, and the pain was like a sharp blade cutting her heart. But even so, she still spoke up, pleading with the person in front of her who had never looked back, wanting him to leave with her.

"......" However, she waited for a long time, and the man never looked back, not even a syllable to respond. He just stood there silently, with his back to him, silent, like a sculpture.

Seeing his reaction, the aggrieved color in Li Ai's eyes became even stronger. She knew why he had such an attitude, and she understood what caused all this. However, everything she did, what she hidden, was not suitable for him to know. She did it for his sake. Obviously this is the purpose, why...... Why did he blame her in such a way of ignoring her?

Why did she stay by his side on such a cold night, until now? Why does she try to gather all the information she can gather and keep interpreting it? It's all about protecting him...... Obviously, he has been working hard to save him, but now he has to be blamed by him for that inexplicable reason, and even needs to take the initiative to communicate with him in a low voice. Why? Over the years, how have you ever bowed your head like this? What's more, when you don't have any sins? She really wanted to shake her hand and leave in front of him, not to be blamed for this inexplicable fall on her. However, she couldn't let go......

He was Zhang Zhou, her companion, the one who rescued her from stagnant time, and the only existence she cared about all these years...... These are all reasons why she can't let go, but she never understands that what really makes her willing to bear the grievances in this situation is the inexplicable feelings in her heart.

She didn't fully understand what that emotion meant, just as she didn't know what it meant for a person to be willing to bear great grievances for another. She hesitated for a moment, then pleaded.

"At least...... Get out of here first...... All right? Nine words, each of which was so difficult to spit out of her mouth, but in the end, she still said it completely. And as these words were spoken, the figure with his back to her trembled violently, and then, the figure of the man slowly disappeared from her field of vision, leaving only a somewhat vague response.

Li Ai, who received his response, smiled bitterly, but he didn't have the energy or the will to let him stand in front of him, pull the corner of his clothes, and confirm his existence. She turned around silently, and walked down the stairs with a little vagueness. She knew that he was right behind her, down the stairs, following in her footsteps, and leaving the tall building. She pursed the corners of her mouth bitterly, thinking a little sadly, something has changed.

But she didn't know that Zhang Zhou, who was following her and hiding her figure, had been staring at her back. He stared at the place covered with supple black hair that he could reach because of the height of the steps, and tried to put his hand up several times, but he didn't reach out until he reached the door of the elevator that reached the first floor......

It's already late at night. With the departure of the fireflies that had broken into countless green fluorescents, the original bright starlight looked so dim under the cover of the re-closing clouds. The light of the street lamps was gradually enveloped in the fog that filled the street, and the scope of illumination was not as far as the beginning.

Standing alone in such a dim and cold world, the feeling of confusion and fear is a great torture for anyone. Perhaps because he didn't want Li Ai to go through this kind of torture, after getting out of the sight of the security guards, Zhang Zhou showed his figure and silently followed behind Li Ai.

They walked one after the other, towards the corner where the bikes were parked, and finally stopped at the same time, and then fell silent again. Just like at the top of a tall building, two people who couldn't see each other's expressions were separated by a small distance, each with their heads hanging and silent, but this time, the person with his back to the other person was replaced by Li Ai.

After a long time, Zhang Zhou, who was silent, raised his head and asked in a low voice to Li Ai, who was facing away from him, "You...... You know something, right? Faced with his question, Li Ai's body, which was facing away from him, trembled, but did not give any answer.

"Who will die? What is fate? The answers to these questions...... You know that, right? He asked in a low voice, trying to get the answer he wanted from Li Ai's mouth. However, Li Ai was silent and did not give any response.

"Li Ai......" he called her name, stepping forward, trying to get closer to her, "Why...... Why didn't you tell me? I have a feeling that these things have a lot to do with me, but why...... Why is it, as a companion, that you know all this, but you keep your mouth shut and never reveal anything to me? ”

"Li Ai, why? Why don't you tell me the answer? He asked in a low voice, standing behind Li Ai, who had been silent. And when he stood behind her, Li Ai, who had been silent, finally reacted. She lifted her head and pressed her hand to the handlebar of the bike in front of her.

"Tell you?" She repeated the three words in a low voice, and then said in a somewhat mocking voice, "Tell you what? Are you the one who told you that you were going to die? Tell you that the unchangeable fate in her mouth is that you are destined to die? Tell you you have less than two months left? Tell you...... Let you know any of this? ”

She kept talking, her voice getting higher and higher, as if venting her dissatisfaction and grievances about being treated like him, but in the end, her voice gradually became quieter, hoarse and sad. "How can you know that...... You can't think of it...... You can't do it...... Find out the truth from those clues, and then pick out what can be changed...... You can't do something like that. ”

Her hand on the bicycle faucet clenched slowly, and even her knuckles turned slightly white from excessive exertion. "But I can ......," she murmured, but she did not want to turn her head to look at the man she called a companion.

"Only I can...... Let you know what, you can't help much, it can only add to your troubles. Rather than this, it's better not to let you know......" Her voice was intermittent, as if she was trying her best to suppress something, Zhang Zhou, who was standing behind her, raised his hand unconsciously, and then gently landed on the top of her head, slowly and softly rubbing it.

"I'm your companion, but what I can do all along......" Feeling the warmth with a little weight falling on his head, Li Ai's words couldn't help but stop abruptly. She guessed what it was, and her body froze, and even the fingers that held the bicycle's faucet grew pale.

She was nervous for no reason, and she froze, her mind in chaos. She didn't know why she was nervous, and she silently resisted his actions, but the warmth on the top of her head was silently remembered by her in her heart, and she never forgot it until the end of her life.

"I'm sorry......" she heard him whisper behind her. Li Ai, I ...... I won't die! ”
