Chapter 35: Divergent Roads
"Your mention is very good, I can accept it, but I still need some time." Alpha is no longer lifeless.
"Very good, I'm not in a hurry, I have more time, I completely follow your personal wishes, I will never force others, I can't do such a tiring job, and I'm too lazy to do it." Barberet took out a cigarette from her precious cigarette case and handed it to Alpha, the meaning of the invitation was self-evident.
"No, I'm going back." Alpha didn't take a second to think about it, then bluntly refused, got up and left the crossroads bar.
"Anyway, every time I come here, I don't see any other guests!" Alpha looked back at the dark staircase, "Forget it, whatever!" "Take off and fly in the direction of the Babel campus.
At this moment, in the bar counter, Barberet's hand handing over the cigarette is still in a posture, hanging in the air, like a puppet who has forgotten to wind up.
For a long time, when he thought that Barberet was about to be completely frozen, he came to his senses, put the cigarette in his hand, and lit the fire.
Well, the first time I agreed and offered to share my cigarettes, I was refused.
"Hey, he's gone, you can come out." Barberet muttered leisurely, sipped a cigarette, and poured herself a glass of cherry brandy.
"Yes." The purple cyan curtain printed with the big red cherry pattern in the middle of the cover was lifted, and I saw Luo Lili wearing a pure white silk nightgown, the cherry pattern printed on it was small and exquisite, elegant and sophisticated, the large open neckline was faintly visible and seductive, the belt was loosely tied as if it would fall off at any time, and on her feet was a pair of overly fat lambswool slippers, and the surface of the toe was a large red cherry ornament made of coral velvet.
She walked out slowly, came to the bar, and sat down on the bar chair that Alpha had sat on earlier. Looking at the crystal cup filled with absinthe, Luo Lili stretched out her jade hand, her fingertips intertwined, and held the wine glass, trying to catch a trace of the aura left by Alpha.
"Why are you avoiding him, I've never seen you like this." Barberet is teasing or helpless, elusive.
"I didn't ......," Luo Lili closed her ocean-like deep blue eyes, and a gloomy sigh was hidden under her lowered eyelashes.
"I don't understand, since you haven't gotten anything from Alpha all along, why didn't you choose that man at that time?" Babaret mentions a person who should never be mentioned.
"Don't mention him again! We said yes. Luo Lili opened her eyes and glared angrily, such a flustered look was only with "that man".
"Lily, I don't like you now, or rather, you know what I mean, ...... then"
"The two of them mean different things to me." There were tears flashing in the corners of Luo Lili's eyes, and Barberet's hand shaking the ashes suddenly froze, after knowing each other for so long, the unimaginably long years, or grandiose, or staggering, for the two of them, this never-ending river of life was so boring and boring, laughter, scolding, and cynicism had long been commonplace, but this was the first time he had seen this arrogant and uninhibited queen cry.
It turns out that she would have such an expression......
He thought he had seen her through, but he found that he seemed to think a little too highly of himself.
I think I know a lot, but I don't know anything about it, but in fact, I will have a stupid side?
In other words, I found out a long time ago, but I don't want to admit it.
Yes, Ah Fa and Gu Xiaoxiao, who lost their memory, and Lili in this second, all made him doubt himself.
Lily, are you the real you or the fake you at this moment?
In my opinion, it's more true!
Before, by that man's side, were you the most real?
"There's no going back." Luo Lili suddenly spoke, and then drank the liquid remaining in the crystal cup, and the fragility in her eyes was hidden by her.
"It's a bit off, but it's okay, it's all under our control." Barberet pretended not to see anything, and he took a sip of the cherry brandy in his glass, as if he had never seen Luo Lili's pretentiousness, which was a very wise choice.
"Yes." It's just a single tone, but there are infinite emotions that are suppressed in the throat and up to the chest.
"I'm really interested in the current Alpha, but, for your sake, I'm definitely on your side, so don't worry, I'm ......"
"Hey, Barberet." Luo Lili interrupted him.
"You say."
"Can you bring me a glass of cherry brandy?" Luo Lili raised her eyes to look at Barberet's bottomless black pupils, as if she was looking for something, an answer to her longing.
"No!" This is the 1277th time Barberet has denied Luo Lili's request, although it is the same request.
"Why?"
"You don't have the basic conditions to be a guest." Barberet smiled.
"What is this?" Luo Lili turned her head away.
"You can just use this!" Barberet took a cherry from the crystal vessel and put it in Luo Lili's mouth.
Luo Lili couldn't believe it, her brain hadn't kept up yet.
Barberet fed her the cherries she had always wanted to eat, and they were his most precious and exclusive to him, and no one was allowed to touch them!
Although the mountains of cherries had been piled up on the bar, no one really dared to steal them, and she had only tried to reach for them day after day, but only in front of Barberet's eyes.
At this moment, it was really delivered to the mouth, and it was Baberet who took the initiative to do it himself, is this a surprise that has come?
Luo Lili took a small sip and tasted it, and when the warm sweetness spread out in her mouth, she couldn't hold back it any longer, and excitedly accused Barberet with her slender fingers: "Okay! It turns out that you, an old man with a scruffy beard and a wrinkled and hairy face, have been eating such delicious things! ”
"Hey, hey! I've always stressed that there's nothing better in the world than a cherry, it's you...... And please don't use that set of rhetoric again, how can I have wrinkles! "It's not hairy! The skin is so smooth!
"Please! You cherry freak, no one can have a crush on cherries with those crazy actions! ”
"And what about you now?"
"Of course, it's super!" Luo Lili reached out to take another one, but was forcibly stopped by Barberet.
"What?" Luo Lili was stunned.
"I can only give you one." Barberet embraced the entire crystal vessel in both hands, placing it in her sphere of influence.
"Huh?" Luo Lili refused to give up, and her little hands kept trying to attack with the momentum of seeing the stitches.
"If you want to eat it, buy it yourself." Barberet is like a child at the moment.
"Don't do that, what's the matter if you eat one more?" Luo Lili posed as a good sister who coaxed children.
"It's a big deal!" Babaret went crazy for the first time in a long time.

Babel Campus, Tingxin Lake.
Gu Xiaoxiao was first stiff in Xu Xinyang's arms, then uneasy, then understanding, which gradually turned into distress, and finally returned to stiffness.
"Xu, Xu Xinyang." Xiao Xiao tried to break free from this long-standing entanglement.
"Don't you like my arms?" Xu Xinyang let go of his arms, and his eyes were full of loss and scattered to Xiaoxiao.
"No, I'm not ......" Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, she knew that the man in front of her liked her, but she already had another person in her heart, and she could only tolerate that person.
But, Alpha, if, this is what you want, then I will listen to you.
"Ayan." Xiao Xiao closed her eyes and trembled her vocal cords.
"What do you call me, Tiny?" Xu Xinyang was very excited to make sure that he had heard correctly.
"May I call you Ayan?" Xiaoxiao spoke again, but no longer trembled, very calm.
"Absolutely! That's great! I love to hear you call me that! Xu Xinyang hugged Xiaoxiao into his arms again.
"Hmm...... I can't breathe......" Xiao Xiao made a difficult sound, Xu Xinyang realized that he was too hard, and quickly let go, giving Xiao Xiao space for her to breathe.
"Xiaoxiao, is this your answer to me?"
"......" Gu Xiaoxiao nodded in response, but she knew very well in her heart that she would not be able to say the word "yes" no matter what.
"Thank you!"
"How do you say thank you? There is no word "thank you" in the dictionary of emotions. What I agree with in my little consciousness is that true love is not mixed with a little favor and reward.
"Yes, you're right." Xu Xinyang replied in a very soft voice, giving people a false illusion.
"By the way, you have to explain to me, why do you want to go to the ice again, have you forgotten that we just ......" Xu Xinyang remembered what happened before and began to ask.
"Yes, I know." Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, and her gaze was fixed on the corner of the white shirt that Xu Xinyang was still wearing in winter.
"Then you still ......" Xu Xinyang sighed.
"I just want to see Xiao Yu." Gu Xiaoxiao made a reason, she really had no way to dig out her heart and lungs for him.
"Why?" The expected questioning, this did not make Xiaoxiao feel cramped, because her heart has changed, these days, just these days, she has gradually transformed invisibly and become a woman with a strong heart.
"I just miss her." The corners of his mouth pulled out a smile that pretended to be very real, but Xu Xinyang saw it in his eyes but turned a blind eye.
"I'll see you again in the future if there's a fate."
"Yes." The little little head nodded, her eyes still lingered on the white shirt, I don't know if it was intentional, or she couldn't control it, she didn't want to look at the tender face.
"Tiny."
"What's wrong?"
"Would you like to go on a date with me?"
Gu Xiaoxiao raised his head, and his eyes were full of flowing clouds and colorful affection, with thousands of acres of glass and permeable water.
