Chapter 8: The Wreath of All Saints

It took a lot of effort for Ah Fa to coax Gu Xiaoxiao well, and he suddenly found that his patience could be practiced to this point, and he admired Gu Xiaoxiao's skills very much. "Alpha, I want to go to the prom, can I ......?"

"You can go if you want, this is your freedom, I have no right to control you."

"Hmm, are you still angry? Don't be angry, I said what I said before I took it back, well, I ......" Gu Xiaoxiao was about to start crying again, but Ah Fa really didn't mean to blame her, and hurriedly reached out to cover Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth that was about to open wide.

“Stop!” Ah Fa hurriedly stopped Gu Xiaoxiao, and then explained to Gu Xiaoxiao that he went to work in the city, so he was not there for the past two days.

"Alpha, can you teach me to dance?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked with a smile, acting coquettishly.

"You've grown so big, don't you know how to dance?"

"I'm stupid." Gu Xiaoxiao made a dog-legged shape, and Alpha seemed to see Xiaoxiao wagging his tail and his two little ears fanning and fanning.

"Okay." Alpha really couldn't resist Gu Xiaoxiao, who looked like a sticky pet dog.

Afar pulled Gu Xiaoxiao and walked towards the depths of the birch forest. Xiao Xiao looked at the hand held by Ah Fa in a daze, forgetting that he had done the same thing before.

The two of them walked for a while, and a very large lake appeared, and there was no end in sight. There is a pavilion in the middle of this unknown lake, which is covered with heavy snow, and the whole body is snow-white, and the original color of the pavilion cannot be seen.

"I never knew there was such a big lake in the school." Xiaoxiao was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of her, "This lake can't even see the other side, is the school so big?" ”

"You're not stupid, that's why you don't know." Alpha deliberately poured cold water.

"Yes, yes...... I'm stupid," Xiao Xiao was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, and suddenly came back to his senses, "What did you say?" Stinky Alpha! ”

Xiao turned his head to punish Alpha, and a big snowball came and hit him right in the face.

"Haha......" Alpha laughed.

Gu Xiaoxiao saw that the culprit was so unscrupulous, and hurriedly picked up the snow on the ground to fight back.

Suddenly, he flashed past.

Again, it was subtly flashed again.

"Don't move!" A little angry.

Alpha stood up and signaled that he would not move, and Xiaoxiao threw the huge snowball in his hand hard, but it missed, and both of them were stunned.

"Hahahaha......" Alpha laughed, a little embarrassed.

"You're going to let me hit it once." Xiao pouted at the oncoming Alpha.

Afa didn't speak, suddenly reached out and grabbed Gu Xiaoxiao, and wrapped his other hand around Xiaoxiao's waist, leading her to turn in a circle and walk the waltz dance steps.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the man in front of him with his eyes closed and smiling in a daze, the corner of his mouth smirked, his left foot stepped on Afa's right foot, and then pushed Afa down on the snow with all his might, buried in the snow.

"Haha! Let you underestimate me! Xiaoxiao shouted on the side, Afa propped himself up on the ground, looked at Gu Xiaoxiao who was proud in front of him, and thought, I really can't teach her well!

Gu Xiaoxiao had been receiving Alpha's devil teachings in the spacious open space in front of Tingxin Lake for several days in a row.

"You can't ask everyone to waltz as quickly as you do!" Gu Xiaoxiao protested.

"Fast? Until now, you don't even know which foot to take first, and if you are stupid enough, it's no wonder that you can't jump when you're so big. ”

"Yes." The little voice suddenly became smaller, "No one invited me." The little smiled unnaturally.

Alpha was stunned, he really didn't mean to.

Afa suddenly put his hand around Xiaoxiao's waist and picked Xiaoxiao up, spun around in the air, and then put it down and continued to dance.

"Look, it's easy." Alpha said quietly, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, a little stupid.

It is a tradition at Babel College to hold a masquerade ball on Halloween Eve, where people dress up as various goblins, pirates, alien visitors and witches, and of course, some of the novel's protagonists are also popular.

Xiaoxiao struggled for a long time, under the magic of Alpha, and finally dressed up as a witch - a big old-fashioned magic hat with green decorations, crooked on the top of a small head, wearing a purple bandeau tight skirt, the skirt that just reached the thighs was slightly puffed, the skirt corners were big jagged, brown boots were knee-high, and there was a long black cat tail behind her, a bit of Lori's witch, Xiaoxiao looked at this dress, and estimated that this was completely according to Alpha's own taste, maybe Alpha was Lolicon, Gu Xiaoxiao silently decided in her heart.

"I'm leaving." Gu Xiaoxiao took the broom props and reported to Afa.

Afa looked at the departing figure, and felt an inexplicable trace of loneliness in his heart.

The Halloween Eve masquerade ball was held in the auditorium of the Babel campus, which was decorated with the theme of "Ghost Night".

All the lighting on the entire Babel campus is replaced by jack-o-lanterns, and on the campus of Nuo University, jack-o-lanterns with various expressions outline every corner, and the slight orange and yellow light is clearly extinguished in the dark night and snow, like a vigil ghost.

When Xiaoxiao came to the campus, the playground was already filled with monsters. There is a white-faced zombie, a snake-haired and glamorous Medusa, and a gargoyle sitting on a high platform or looking at the sky or thinking, there is always a ghoul entangled next to the painted skeleton, what makes Gu Xiaoxiao most curious is how the crazy headless horseman dresses up.

Xiao Xiao walked through the noisy demons and monsters, and walked into the long-awaited auditorium hall, excited, this is the first time he has participated, because it is the first time that someone has invited him.

The walls around it are covered with papier-mâché witches, black cats, goblins, and bones, and the various dim lights make the whole hall very eerie. On the long tables at the edge of the auditorium, there are tall ghost cream towers, plates of ghost spider eggs, owl cookies and tombstone cookies, countless layers of devil cakes, blood cup apples and mini caramel apples that are tempting just to look at, spicy sausage polenta and spicy lamb chops that shine brightly, and of course, the most popular Halloween doughnuts and colorful jelly wine.

Xiaoxiao was drooling because of the food in front of her, completely forgetting that she was invited to dance, so she took a plate, took the food and enjoyed it.

Just when Gu Xiaoxiao didn't care about her image and gobbled it up, suddenly the lights went out, and the auditorium fell into darkness. Xiaoxiao stopped what he was doing, looked around, everyone asked each other curiously, and the auditorium was suddenly filled with whispers.

At this moment, the sound of a piano came from the darkness, and everyone was looking for the source of the sound, and a white light lit up on the stage, and a song sounded, and the auditorium was instantly silent.

Xiao Xiao looked at the scene in front of him, and the quiet singing on the stage was a beautiful woman, with long flaming hair flying and swaying, dressed in a burgundy Gothic Lolita costume, wearing a pirate captain's hat, her right eye hidden under the blindfold, and a white rose shining on the blindfold. On the side, a handsome and cold vampire played the piano. The whole scene is incomparably beautiful.

……

The lonely boat passed away with the water

The sound of sorrow lingers

The heart of the loser who stands alone is completely unknown

Engraved on the silent earth

Sad claw marks sink into his chest

Under the torn dark clouds, under the praise of blessings

The castle of the end of the war

Completely spread out

A body buried in white quicksand

Flowers fall into an uninhabited castle that kills

If that day I give up all other options

Choose whether you end differently or not

It's right for me, I've always been so convinced

Until they lose the hand that held tightly

If this derailed step is unforgivable

Why did you open the door and accept me?

Flowers buried in white quicksand

It is a castle that lost its owner and sank into the barren sea

The one that opens on the chest

Screams when falling silently

Even your warm swaying silhouette

None of them can be the bell that calls me back

O my dear

At least until you kill me

Open your eyes and see the moment of my destruction

Under the torn dark clouds, under the praise of blessings

The castle of the end war is completely ruined

My beloved, the joy of meeting you

And the calm one who bloomed was no longer there

……

Xiaoxiao recognized at a glance that the two people who were so compatible on the stage at the moment were Xu Xinyang and Luo Lili, and suddenly felt that she was a little redundant and couldn't integrate into the world of the two, so she silently left the auditorium.

The singing was like a spell, and the bewitched crowd involuntarily walked into the auditorium. There was no one on the empty campus, and Xiao Xiao suddenly felt a little cold.

I'd better go back......

The small figure gradually drowned in the sunflower field.

Walking back to the weeds, it was empty.

Where did Alpha go?

Standing alone in the snowy field sprinkled with moonlight, the clear night sky is dotted with the cold light of small stars, a small exhale, there is white gas, rising.

The thorn-taunted Limai, the pure white old piano......

Xiaoxiao only felt that his insignificant dreams were looming and fleeting.

Just as Xiao Xiao was immersed in grief, a man dressed as a magician walked up to her, wearing a big top hat, a bright purple mask covering his face, a black suit full of late-night mysteries, and a half-plush rabbit in the pocket of his suit jacket.

He walked up to the little one and stretched out his hand to conjure up a blue rose, with dew drops on the petals reflecting the moonlight.

Xiao Xiao was stunned to take the flower symbolizing the blessing of the gods, only to see the man stretch out his left hand and bend down as an invitation, "Beautiful Miss Witch, can you dance with me?" ”

Xiaoxiao did not refuse, and naturally put her hand on the hand stretched out to her. The two of them danced a waltz in the moonlight and in the vast white woods.

"Alpha......" murmured a little.

Xiaoxiao put her head on Alpha's shoulder, she didn't want him to see it, and tears carefully slipped out of the corners of her eyes.

Gu Xiaoxiao realized that life is like a dream, death is the awakening of a dream, if her life is a nightmare, she is glad and happy to meet death. And at this moment, at this moment, with Alpha by her side, this unscrupulous companionship is enough to wipe out all the sadness that has been whistling before, and for her, the whole world has gotten it.

Alpha smiled and spun around her, and in his sight, an invisible figure came from not far away. Alpha's eyes froze, and then with a spin handed Xiaoxiao to the visitor.

Xiaoxiao was indulging in Alpha's dance steps, and suddenly his hand was released, and then he entered a strange embrace, facing a pair of brown eyes, vampire, Xu Xinyang. The little brain went blank.

Alpha on the side quietly retreated to the birch tree next to him, looking at the two people dancing in front of him, and the inexplicable pain was torn in his chest......

Alpha smiled bitterly and wanted to leave, but as soon as he turned around, a pair of slender arms wrapped around Alpha's neck, and the smooth skin surrounded him with charm in the moonlight, and then there was the soft touch of red.

The little one turned around, looking for the eyes of the figure of Alpha......

In the cold moonlight, in the shade of the birch, the figures hugging and kissing each other......

The fiery red hair flutters and swayes, and it is glamorous and moving......
