Chapter 129: Life and Death (3)
[Tuning]
Gu Xiaoxiao never knew that her disguise could be so perfect, she returned to the weeded field of the Babel campus as if she was fine, and saw the natural joy on her face, no one questioned her for her abnormal twists and turns today.
Yes, it was originally from the heart of pleasure, how could it allow others to catch the wind.
However, there is another potential reason, because the physiological habits of hedgehog fried hair are uncertain, so everyone has come to a conclusion based on the experience of repeated verification and comparison - don't think too much.
"Xiaoxiao, can you accompany me to pick a few sunflowers?" Aso's expression of wanting to speak and stopping made it clear that there was some privacy.
Xiao Xiao Wen curled the corners of his mouth and followed with a fart.
Michelangelo's jaw dropped for a moment, "What's the matter with this woman...... Could it be that she was possessed by evil spirits before? Or has she become an evil spirit herself? β
Van Gogh sat next to Michelangelo and only smiled quietly in agreement, even though he didn't know what the man was talking about.
"Hey, how do you look like a! In a word, don't be so reserved. Michelangelo couldn't look past it, he was so used to it that he couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes.
"Yes."
One word? Well, after a long time of trouble, I held back a word.
"Don't be so stingy, just put the eldest sister in your eyes......"
"No, I just think I'm not easy to get along with, and if I say the wrong thing casually and contradict you again, Aso will be embarrassed."
Michelangelo was stunned, this guy is obviously burying me?
Well, I'll admit, I'm a little rough.
But what about this man...... He looked the red-haired Van Gogh up and down, and unconsciously gave a slightly satisfactory score in his heart - it's pretty good, for his own woman can do this, who dares to say that he has low emotional intelligence?
"It's okay, people, just be yourself! Otherwise, it's better to die if you're so tired! β
Only Michelangelo could say such shocking words, Van Gogh thought, although he wanted to find out the language of this sentence (we are already dead, okay, the starting point is not right), but in the end he did not speak, fortunately.

When he came to the sunflower field, he estimated that he had walked almost far, and Asu pulled Gu Xiaoxiao to sit down.
"Don't you pick flowers?" Little tilted her head.
"No......" Aso paused nervously, "Xiaoxiao, I want to say, thank you." β
It seems to be too serious, and it really can't bear it for a little off-line hedgehog, "Hey, no, I found it by accident." Accidents, accidents, pure accidents. Xiao waved his hands to hide his flattery.
"Actually, I'm going back to the Heavenly Realm with them. Before leaving, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiaoxiao stopped doing it, "Hey, don't, it's only a few days before Christmas, stay and spend it together!" β
"Well, no, the Heavenly Realm has the laws of the Heavenly Realm, and a few of us have been down there for so long, it's not good to drag it out any longer."
Xiao pouted and looked very lost, but there was no way, I couldn't let Aso and them be punished!
"Xiaoxiao, before I go, I want to ask you a question."
"You say."
"You and Alpha...... You two ......"
I didn't even think I'd mention it, it was like accidentally touching the switch of a time bomb, but I don't remember anything I did to set myself on fire......
Asu sighed, unexpectedly seeing Xiao Xiaoyin's changeable expression, she knew that she should not interfere more. But it was a little reward before parting, Aso shook the little twisted hand, ignoring the hot cold sweat, she opened her mouth.
"Xiaoxiao, sometimes it's better to say it, otherwise you will regret it."
The silence of the "......" is pulling nerve endings.
"Go according to what you think in your heart, I believe in you!"
Xiao Xiao looked at those eyes, and the golden yellow roamed in front of him in an instant, and he immediately forgot to breathe.
****
Asu and the others left, and before parting, Gu Xiaoxiao asked her a question that had been bothering her for a long time.
"Aso, where did the sunflower that disappeared from the painting go, and do you have an answer?"
"Yes." Aso glanced at Van Gogh, who was joking with Michelangelo next to him, and then lowered his eyelids and smiled, "He said I didn't like it, so I killed it." β
Farewell, and then let go of the late speechless stuck, Xiao Xiao stared at the man who was resting against the stone, and suddenly felt desolate.
If the opposite is involuntary, then what is this fateful encounter?
[Wen Ling]
With Christmas just around the corner, the Babel campus is a little different from what other colleges are all about.
In addition to going to church for Christmas services, it is the exchange of gifts between students.
Under Xu Xinyang's repeated efforts to hint over and over again how much he wanted to get gifts, Gu Xiaoxiao casually informed Afa and went out of the academy alone to Zhang Luo for gifts.
Walking on the street, but wandering aimlessly alone.
The clouds are light and chestnut, and the cool dust is dark and the glass blooms.
Gu Xiaoxiao tried to smile at those dazzling eyes, but it was very far-fetched.
Since the quarrel that day, the two of them have become strangers.
It's a little too hasty, and her little eyes are dark, although she secretly wrote down the ending of the two in advance, but she should also try to leave some good memories for herself, even if it's a fragmented illusion, it doesn't matter, because she wants him very much, she really wants him.
There was a crisp bell sound in his ears, and Xiao Xiao unconsciously turned his head to look over, it was a store with a very delicate and low-key appearance.
At this time, a little girl next to him pushed open the door, and it was a ghost, and Xiao Xiaopi followed behind and walked in.
This is a store specializing in bells, and as soon as you step in, you will be attracted by the bells of all kinds, colors and decorations.
I never knew there was a shop that specialized in bells.
The number of times she went out shopping before her death was so small that she could count it in the palm of her hand, so when she saw such a special shop, the waves in Xiaoxiao's heart were very complicated.
A pair of blue bells attracted Xiaoxiao, its small and delicate was only a little larger than the jujube pit, and the color on it did not know whether it was painted or its own color, but it reminded Xiaoxiao of the blue rose strung with pearls on his neck.
Subconsciously raised her hand to rub the so-called tracking object given to her by Alpha, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel bitter water in her chest, she glanced at it and turned around and walked out of the store.
After a while, she returned to the shop like the wind, and left again after a few seconds, the pair of blue bells that had disappeared from the turn, leaving only a blue bellflower resting on the table below.
Bellflower - no retribution.
[Stranded]
Twelve o'clock at midnight on Christmas Eve is the deadline agreed upon by Gu Xiaoxiao and Barberet, and for this day, Xiaoxiao meticulously plans and prepares every node. Of course, she didn't do it for that promise, but because she had something else to do before that.
Christmas Eve, it's early in the morning, the moment when dawn has just danced.
Thousands of dews are poured, and there is no ash in the air.
Xiaoxiao, as in the physiological guidelines for several days in a row, woke up from his sleep immediately behind Alpha.
It's not that she doesn't want to be faster than Alpha, but because she has tried several times, but this man always wakes up a second before she wakes up, although this difference in one second makes her hateful and angry, for his special function, Xiaoxiao reluctantly accepted it after making up his own brain.
Alpha didn't say a word, and recently he has been embracing the creed that "silence is golden" for several days in a row.
Gu Xiaoxiao took a few deep breaths on the side, it stands to reason that this time should be the moment when she leaves the weedfield with a nonsense excuse, but today she has to do one more thing.
Cautiously walking over to the side of the birch tree where Alpha was leaning, Xiao Xiao finally stretched out his hand but failed halfway through.
He raised his fist and slapped himself on the forehead, muttering himself silently and blaming himself for his uselessness.
I'm afraid of self-defeating, so I don't know where to start.
Heaven descends on the Si people, and there is no one else who can take on this "responsibility" except himself.
She was a little confused, trying to sort out the words that had been prepared for several days, and rehearsing them on the sidelines was full of situations, and the preface and afterwords became more and more out of control.
Afa, who had been frozen in place and closed his eyes to recuperate, suddenly stood up straight at this time, and saw that he was about to go to the birch forest, Xiaoxiao hurriedly chased after him, but he stumbled, and his little face hit the man's back head-on.
"Sorry ......"
"You're alright?" For the first time in a few days, I took the initiative to speak, but I was concerned because I was asking for my own hardship.
"Well, no, it's fine."
"Be careful when you walk."
"Oh, I know."
After that, the man was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Xiao was helpless but had no time to complain, she stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm, and felt that he braked the car before breathing a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?"
"Today, I, I ......"
"Huh?"
"Well, I'...... This, that......"
"What do you want to say?"
"I want to kiss ......" can actually bite his tongue, and his words have become ambiguous, and Xiaoxiao just wants to hit the tree.
"What do you want to do?" The man's face finally softened slightly.
"Tonight is ......"
"Christmas Eve."
"Yes, can you ...... And meγJump...... Jumping ......"
"Yes." The man said and left.
The parties did not make it clear, but they were dissected by the other party clearly.
Xiao Xiao turned around and hugged the big tree, burying his face very tightly, because he really didn't have a face to see people.
If she had the chance, she would have rewound it all over again.
What about the progressive expression? What about the good arrangement?
Later, it was useless to want to hum "what about happiness" again.

Crossroads Bar.
Barberet hasn't closed her eyes for a few days, and since Gu Xiaoxiao left this store, it has become 24-hour business for no reason, which is undoubtedly the most pitiful victim for Chi Zi, who has no right to say a word and can only stare dryly.
"Boss, are you sure you still want to eat? Eating again is the thirteenth of today. Chi Zi's face was embarrassed, and her eyes lit up until the last bite of cherry pie on the plate on the table.
His boss is really terrible, these days in addition to waking is to binge eat cherry pie, sometimes even his favorite cigarette forgets to smoke.
In fact, Chizi is not a fool, I think that he really helped him deal with a lot of troubles under Azazler back then, but at this moment, Barberet with this little daughter's mentality no matter how much he coaxed and persuaded him, did not have any substantive effect, and he could only be a mushroom cloud by his side alone, grow by himself, and prosper the family...... No, it's a bar.
"Boss, don't eat it, I'll pour you a new glass of cherry juice."
"Boss."
"Boss."
Knowing that there will be no reaction, but still not wanting to dismiss the idea now, is this a reflex left by years of searching for the lazy Azazler?
was leaning over, cautiously with a small movement to collect the knife and fork in the hands of his boss, but suddenly he heard him shout, who had been out of his body, "It's coming!" β
I have to admit that Chi Zi immediately thought that he had played a role and made his boss come back to light!
The door to the bar opened and a man walked in.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Baberet smiled for the first time in days.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Not long after contact, the man left.
Babaret touched her stomach, only to realize that her stomach hurt terribly.
"Let you do it!" Chizi scolded loudly, and it seems that she has a lot of hope of becoming a "housewife of a good family".
The man covered his forehead, and his whole body curled up in a ball, "How can anyone have it." "The pretending of the "little jasper" is pitiful.
"I please, don't you have a stomachache? So what are you doing with your forehead? β
The man changed his position, only to be furious, "That's the chest." β
Again, "That's the liver!" β
Keep coming, "That's the stomach!" β
After finishing speaking, Chi Zi realized that he had made a mistake, and his face turned red before he could explain.
"Haha, you see you're wrong, I covered it right this time and you still said me!"
Barberet laughed rudely, and Chi Zi had a black line on her forehead on the side.
Do you hurt......
[Rate Hike]
The shadow of the sun is slanting to the west, the twilight covers the wolf, and it is sparse everywhere.
The edge of the smoke withered, smeared the east and west, and turned his head to make it difficult to say.
On the eve of the arc, the pity and joy are short.
When Alpha saw Gu Xiaoxiao, he thought for a moment that he had seen a mirage.
The woman in front of her was wearing a Christmas red dress, which should be a very sexy style but looked weird because of her small stunted short stature, like a child who had stolen her mother's dress, and the red Santa hat on her head just made the gap even more distinct.
Xiaoxiao knew that she didn't deserve this dress, red should be Luo Lili's exclusive color, but she just wanted to wear it once.
I want you to remember that I can wear red too.
"Handsome Mr. Angel, can you dance with me?" Xiao Xiao stretched out his right hand and bent down as an invitation.
Although he couldn't identify with his articulate voice at all, he couldn't refuse the girl in front of him.
Turning passive into active, Alpha took a little dance to waltz for a long time.
There was silence in the west of the Babel campus, and as the sky darkened, the two figures silently said a word, turning in circles again and again on the snow-covered weeds.
Xiao Xiao looked at the man she loved in front of her, and he closed his eyes and looked at ease.
Tears clouded her eyes, snatching up the corners of her eyes, trembling and waiting for the dance to be dried before the dance was over, and she also learned to close it together.
Once the first snow Mo language,
Once Halloween Corolla,
Once the fireflies were warm at night,
Once a long life......
Once we realized the impermanence of joy and sorrow,
Once we walked through the stars to see the green silk thought of April snow,
Once the so-called Iraqi people, Tongxin has become an out-of-control catastrophe......
I don't know the meaning of life and death, but I feel desolate.
Turning around, Gu Xiaoxiao secretly thought softly in her heart-
In the future, year after year, tirelessly, this is what I miss about you.
[Dream Burn]
At the crossroads bar, Barberet stared at Luo Lili, who was clearly here to buy drunk, with a disgusted expression, as if she wanted to force her away with her gaze.
"Don't look at it, I know I'm not as beautiful as your cherries."
"I said, Miss Lily, why don't you go and have fun with me on Christmas Eve?"
"It's business hours, is there anything wrong with me coming here?"
"But don't you feel the resentment coming from a certain direction?" Pointing to the red azusa hiding in the corner and peeking.
Luo Lili gave a blank look, "He's going to spend Christmas Eve?" β
"It's us."
"I beg you, Barberet, you're obviously not on the same channel as 'Christmas Eve' like me, okay!"
"Then I'll change the subject."
"Don't think you can drive me away lightly."
"He just came and asked me for cherry brandy."
Luo Lili's lazy posture disappeared, "What did you say?" Reaching out and grabbing the collar of the man in the bar.
"He grabbed it."
"Damn! Why didn't you say it earlier! β
With a "bang", Luo Lili slammed the door and left.
At this time, Chi Zi, who had always taken a respectful and distant attitude, walked over, "Boss, why are you lying...... Obviously, you want to give it to others. β
"I just want her to see clearly."
"Boss......" Chizi paused, "Is Miss Lili really your close friend?" β
"That's why I did it because it was."
I didn't notice Chi Zi's deliberately wrong words for a long time, and I didn't notice his frowning smile.
****
It wasn't until all the lights on the campus were extinguished that Xiaoxiao ended the dance.
"Tiny."
was at a loss, and Alpha actually opened his mouth first.
With just this sentence, all the qiΔ in the past few days have turned into fog and clouds.
"Tiny, I'm ......"
The last few words were stopped by Xiaoxiao, "Alpha, I actually have something to tell you." β
Alpha's blood-red eyes softened suddenly, and my crimson face was reflected in them.
"But you'll have to wait for me." Xiao Xiao tried not to be dominated by anxiety and panic, "Please wait for me here, I'll be back soon." β
With that, Xiaoxiao ran in the direction of the school.
Alpha's eyes chased straight after the red back, he swallowed a wry smile, and only when the figure dissolved into the moonlight did he pull out the miniature glass bottle containing the golden liquid from his pocket.
****
Gu Xiaoxiao came to the roof of the teaching building, and sure enough, he saw Xu Xinyang waiting there.
"Sorry for being late." Xiao Xiao gasped as she walked towards him.
"I thought you weren't coming." The man leaned at the railing on the edge and looked up at the ivory moon in the distant sky.
Xiaoxiao didn't answer, it should be said that the manuscript she had written in her stomach was really hard to say.
"What did you call me for? Let me guess......" Xu Xinyang turned lazily, "Confession?" Giving a gift? β
Xiao Xiao bit her lip, feeling that she should still say it.
"No, actually I ......" just as he was about to say when the man walked up to Xiao Xiao and stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Xiao from continuing.
"I'm vulnerable, tiny." The man pretended to be weak, but he was smiling all the time.
"I'm sorry." But she looked directly into the man's eyes like a brave forward, indicating that she would never waver.
"I'm sorry, I like Alpha."
Serenity, is tranquility.
Then waiting, Gu Xiaoxiao waited for Xu Xinyang's next reaction, but he miscalculated.
"Hahaha......" the man looked up and laughed.
"Ayan, I ......" Xiaoxiao didn't know if he was too straightforward and hurt him too deeply.
"Gu Xiaoxiao." The indifference of the man with his name and surname made people feel a little shocked, "Isn't it too ridiculous to say this now?" β
"I knew I didn't do it right before, so I promised you before I didn't figure out my feelings......"
The man covered his stomach and laughed, exaggerated to the point that he turned around and immediately came to him, grabbed his little arms, and pinched them so hard that he "gurgled" in pain.
"No, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about!" The man's eyes widened, and Xiao Xiao was completely speechless.
What a stranger!
Who's this?
Who is this man in front of you?
Ah Yang, Xu Xinyang? No, no......
"Gu Xiaoxiao, what can you do, do you think you can be with him? He doesn't want you anymore, don't you know? β
Xiaoxiao had a "click" in her heart, a familiar heartbreak sound, but she could still grit her teeth and endure it.
"I know, I know it all!"
"So you still say you like him? I like you, I treat you so well you don't want it, you have to be that ridiculous coward? β
"He's not a coward!" Little instinctively yelled at Ayan that she wouldn't allow others to slander her Afa like this.
"Oh, is it? Even women can't be protected, what is not a coward? β
A little rage came up and raised his hand to give the man a fist.
I never thought that I could do this, and Xiaoxiao suddenly felt so painful in her heart.
She really, really liked him! I like it...... I like Alpha so much, I like it so much......
What should she do?
The man who was beaten by a woman for the first time was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly let out an evil laugh that resounded in the sky at Xiaoxiao.
"Gu Xiaoxiao, you actually beat me for that coward? Hahaha...... Then I'll let you see the facts. β
With that, the man suddenly slowly soared from the ground, and a cold wind swirled around him.
Dangling high in front of his stunned eyes, landing at the top of a spire opposite, the man removed the long-hidden silver brooch from under the collar of his white shirt.
The ivory light occupied the entire silver brooch, and the next second the light was in full bloom, and the man in the white shirt suddenly had a huge silver scythe in his hand.
"You ......"
Xiao Xiao was so stunned that he couldn't speak, and the man sneered and kindly replied.
"Angel of the Moon, Shaliye, I am the Grim Reaper."
There should be a lot of questions, but Xiaoxiao only wants to know one answer at the moment.
"So, you said you liked me......"
"It's all a lie." The man uncovered the cruelty mercilessly, but he didn't expect that the woman who should have been worse than death and miserable to the extreme would actually laugh.
"Really? Really......" Little breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great." β
"What did you say?" The man's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he was being countered.
His purpose was originally to get a little pure and supreme soul, and while her heart was like ashes, it should be the easiest moment to start, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.
This woman must not be so sad that she can't choose to speak!
"That way, I won't feel indebted to Ayan."
Shaliye's pupils constricted, and in this case, she still called me 'Ayan' when she knew the truth......
"Thank you." Xiao smiled a little, took out the mini glass bottle that was hot because he had been holding it for too long, tilted his head, and drank it.
"You ......" Shaliye saw the liquid in the bottle, well, Barberet, it's you again!
Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, and there were clips in her head that kept playing back......
- "There is no room for regret. β
"I don't regret it."
"Is it worth it...... Is it worth it for the sake of his memory......"
"It's worth it, because I love him."
Now, Alpha.
You're the person I care about the most in the world.
But before I can get this situation, it seems that I am going to do it hastily......
In the future, I will be a sailless ship, and you will be an island where I will never find the coordinates.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
It didn't turn into ashes as expected, but there was a ghost crying wolf howling all over the body, and Xiao Xiao opened his eyes.
At some point, the moon turned carmine, and a man appeared on a spire opposite, her lips stiffened slightly, and her whole heart was captured.
The face was very white and clean, a pair of abnormal blood-red eyes, and the long black hair was scattered in the wind, and the ends of the hair shone with blue light, like the remaining chromatia of the first night.
Alpha.
[Finale]
Why, the dream came to reality?
Gu Xiaoxiao's thin body trembled, she stood on the edge of the roof, looking at the two men standing on the two spires with a pair of misty eyes.
Xiaoxiao naturally remembers, that bone-crushing dream.
- a cold, sad and panicked.
I opened my eyes, sore from the cold wind, and found myself standing on a high place.
There is no smoke and water, no mist and clouds, and I am stared at a crimson moon.
The night is boundless, the morning and dusk are gone, and at the foot of the high platform is a piece of green snow drunk.
β¦β¦ Xiao Xiao looked down at his feet, and there was no difference from his dream.
ββI looked into the distance, full of Yaohua and Liphi, but I didn't see jade dust and starlight.
Raising his hand to catch the scattered, the little red in his palm turned white, and before I could see it clearly, the lightness of the petal dissipated in the wind in an instant.
β¦β¦ Looking at it now, there is actually nothing.
- With my hands outstretched, I walked carefully along the edge of the high platform, leaving behind me a time of sleepless commentary.
The blue shadow shakes the light, the world is dissolved, the silver trail is densely sprinkled, and it is difficult to collect the waves.
I looked up and saw two figures standing at the top of the two spires in front of me.
A long-haired dance in the sky, I saw him fluttering like a unique morning star in the world, like a king in the world but shrouded in silence.
A short hair blew without a trace, and I saw him smiling like an agarwood hidden cold tone, as if he didn't see the troubles but the grievances were difficult.
β¦β¦ Alpha, Xu Xinyang.
Shaliye broke the three-way deadlock, "Congratulations on the return, Lucifer. β
A little stunned, he said, Lucifer......
"Gu Xiaoxiao, do you see it, come and say hello, the man you are crazy for, the fallen angel, the demon king of the demon kings - Lucifer."
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, she had heard the name Lucifer......
It's just that I didn't expect to really save zΓ i.
"Ahh Xiaoxiao finally opened his mouth to call him, but the man seemed to have changed his appearance, and he was not moved in the slightest.
"Alpha."
"Lilith." The man opened his mouth suddenly, but he impatiently ignored the small call.
Xiaoxiao felt as if there was an electric current all over her body, and then she heard footsteps behind her, and she looked back to see that it was Luo Lili.
Did she already know? Tiny chests began to twist in pain.
"Haven't had enough of it?" The man's voice was somehow unfamiliar, unforgiving.
Xiaoxiao didn't understand the dumb riddle between them, turned to look at Luo Lili, and saw that the delicate body suddenly emitted a red light, and there was a black lightning-like light flashing between the lights, and then a humanoid soul body was withdrawn from it, Luo Lili's body fell, and a person stood next to her.
The woman was dressed in a red orthodox gothic loli dress, with long black curly hair that was about to reach her calves, and a strand of red highlight hair on the left side was very eye-catching, like a manzhu sawa blooming in the dark night.
The woman ignored me and walked straight in front of my eyes and jumped lightly behind Alpha.
"Got it?" Shaliye knocked me awake, "You are not from the same world as us. β
It's too fast for Xiao Xiao to figure it out and accept it in such a short time.
At this moment, she just wants to know what a person thinks.
"Alpha!" screamed out, and even she didn't think about it.
"Gu Xiaoxiao."
He called my name and didn't have amnesia! Great, that's how I ......
"We're done, goodbye."
What the? The corners of Xiaoxiao's mouth that had just curved froze, "Alpha, what do you say......?"
"Goodbye."
At that moment, I froze completely, forgot everything, even the tears forgot to flow out of my eyes, the tears stayed in the eyes and floated a breath bright and a breath dark, I saw that what was left behind you was a string of unbelievable starlight and ghost shadows, but all of them were constantly aging in the tearful eyes, full of sadness......
The world spins and retreats into endless darkness.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When I opened my eyes, I was lying in a strange place, and the first thing that caught my eye was Barberet's face.
"Is he gone......"
"Gone."
"He's never coming back......"
"Not anymore.
That night, it dawned on me that there would never be a ...... Turned to ashes, heartbroken and separated, and then not forgotten, grudged until I don't know how long it is, and the pain is so painful that I can't get up and fight, and then you let me go, but I have become a cripple with withered lower limbs......
