Chapter Seventy-Three: Breaking Up

When the sky was still bright, there were already two people playing on the basketball court of a middle school in the United States, and the ball hit the ground with a "bang" sound, which could be heard very clearly on the empty court.

"Shen Xiao, you called me out to play so early, do you have anything to say to me?" Xiahou Xuan said when he intercepted Shen Xiao.

"Well, President Xiahou, I want to tell you, I've figured it out." Shen Xiao dodged Xiahou Xuan's interception with a feint, "I decided to break up with Aike." If I go against my heart and be with Echo, no one will be happy. Shen Xiao threw the ball into the basket with a jump, turned around, and looked at Xiahou Xuan with firm eyes.

Xiahou Xuan smiled at Shen Xiao without the slightest surprise, and said loudly: "Shen Xiao, this is what a man should do." He stepped forward, picked up the basketball, and dribbled to another frame.

Xiahou Xuan said as he ran: "However, Shen Xiao, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, although this kind of thing is uncontrollable, but you must give me a good idea before you promise the girl, otherwise next time, I will definitely beat you up." "But that's all before that.

Shen Xiao watched the ball in Xiahou Xuan's hand enter the basket accurately, and promised, "There won't be a second time." "This time, I've seen my heart clearly, I only care about that one person.

It was dawn and their morning basketball game was over.

Xiahou Xuan invited Shen Xiao and said, "Shen Xiao, let's go!" Go for breakfast. ”

"No, President Xiahou, you go! I still have a pact with Echo, and Echo will be here in a moment. Shen Xiao shook his head, he had no intention of leaving.

After listening to Shen Xiao's words, Xiahou Xuan immediately understood, he felt that Shen Xiao was doing things a little quickly, and said, "Shen Xiao, will there be a showdown now?" ”

"Well, since it's all decided, let's solve it as soon as possible! It's not good for anyone to drag it like this. Shen Xiao was very determined. He had already thought about it, the breakup was certain, and no matter what Echo did to him, he had no complaints.

"In that case, I'll go first. I can't help with the rest. Xiahou Xuan said, walked into the equipment room, and put the basketball back.

The sun was shining from the east, and a girl in jeans with long sleeves with an animated pattern also walked out from the east, and the sun was behind her, giving her a golden light.

Shen Portrait turned his head as if he had a premonition, the sunlight just shone into his eyes, he squinted his eyes, he couldn't see anything clearly, he just saw a golden figure, but he knew that it was Echo.

Shen Xiao looked at the figure and said with his eyes half-open, "Ike, you're here." ”

Ai Ke looked over and saw Shen Xiao facing her with half-closed eyes, standing straight, looking a little melancholy, not like the usual sunshine, looking a little serious, not like he usually jokes. Echo's heart began to rise and fall, and a bad premonition began to spread in her heart.

"Well, I'm here." Eco replied blandly.

Eco walked over slowly, and they just looked at each other, unblinking, trying to see something in their eyes.

When Ai Ke got closer, Shen Xiao retracted his gaze and said straight to the point: "Ai Ke, I have something to clarify with you. ”

When Ai Ke heard this, she stared at Shen Xiao even more, and when she saw Shen Xiao's dodging appearance, her eyes dimmed: "Idol, you haven't had breakfast yet!" Can you come with me to breakfast first? ”

Shen Xiao raised his head, his eyes were unbearable, his eyes were sorry, he couldn't do anything but apologize. Since Echo had made this little request, he complied: "Okay." ”

"Hmm." Ai Ke pulled out a smile and faced Shen Xiao. She had already understood Shen Xiao's choice, but she still wanted to covet the last warmth.

Shen Xiao walked in front, he had already walked under the other basketball hoops, Ai Ke reacted and followed, looking at Shen Xiao's back, looking at Shen Xiao's healthy wheat arm, Ai Ke slowly stretched out his hand to hold Shen Xiao's arm.

Shen Xiao, who was immersed in his thoughts, didn't think about it, and pulled his hand out. Ai Ke didn't expect Shen Xiao's reaction to be so intense, he was startled, took a few steps back, and then stood there in a daze with a painful face.

Only then did Shen Xiao know that he shook off Echo's hand, he turned his head and walked in front of Echo, and said to Echo, "Echo, how is it?" You're okay, I don't know why I'm trying so hard. ”

"I, I'm fine." Eco lowered her head and swallowed all the question marks back in her stomach, because she knew that as long as she asked, it would never matter again.

"Let's go on!" Ai Ke lowered his head slightly, didn't let Shen Xiao look at his face, and walked forward. But her somewhat hoarse voice still betrayed her mood at the moment.

Shen Xiao looked at Ike's somewhat rickety back, so sad and so strong. He knew he couldn't wait any longer, and if he waited any longer, he would only be unable to pull it out.

"Echo, let's break up." Although Shen Xiao's deep voice was small, it still clearly entered Echo's ears. Echo stopped.

"Idol, what are you still doing there, don't hurry up and leave." Ai Ke turned his head and said to Shen Xiao with a smile. That smile is cheerful and warm, but it looks so unreal and fake that it makes people feel distressed. Ai Ke was still reluctant, she didn't want Shen Xiao to disappear in her life like this, she didn't want to be a stranger with Shen Xiao from now on. The thought of this made her feel so painful.

"Echo, let's break up." Shen Xiao hardened his heart, his voice was louder, so loud that Ai Ke could hear every word clearly, even if he couldn't hear it, Ai Ke could see every word Shen Xiao said from the corners of Shen Xiao's mouth.

"Why, why? It's just a drunken and a phone call, so why should I break up with you? I didn't do anything wrong? We still have a lot to do? If I had stopped you from drinking for me then, wouldn't we have broken up? Echo couldn't hold back her sour eyes any longer, and tears ran out of the corners of her eyes one by one, and she didn't care to wipe them, so she covered her makeup-covered face, and made her somewhat heavy makeup today, revealing her haggard face.

"Echo, I'm sorry. It's all my fault, in the moment when I was confused, when I hid my heart, I became your boyfriend in a daze. Now your pain is all because of me, and whatever you want to punish me, I promise you, and I will let you do it. No complaints. Shen Xiao said very seriously to Ike.

"I don't want anything. Since you hide your heart, why do you provoke me, since you provoke me, then you continue to hide. You have forgotten all the things of the past few days, I just want you to be my boyfriend, you are mine, I don't want you to leave me. "Ico is a little incoherent, but no matter what she says, she has only one idea, to stay with me.

"I'm sorry, Echo, I can't, I can't go back. I've been loading it long enough, and if I keep it on, I think I'm going to slowly break it down little by little. Shen Xiao's sad voice came into Aike's ears little by little.

"Is there really no way back?" Ai Ke stopped crying, calmed himself down, and asked Shen Xiao word by word. Ai Ke somewhat understood Shen Xiao's helpless and extremely sad feelings at this time.

"There's no going back, Echo." Shen Xiao looked at Aike's tearful eyes and said with helplessness and sympathy.

Echo couldn't say anything willful anymore, she could only cry, her tears could not be taken back, like a sudden rainstorm, the rain was so heavy and abundant that it could not be stopped for a while.

Aike cried and cried, took a few steps forward, like a little girl who had nowhere to vent, she would only beat Shen Xiao's chest, and Shen Xiao stood straight in place, letting Aike's fist hit his chest without saying a word.

Ai Ke struggling, unable to fight any longer, leaned his head on Shen Xiao's chest, buried his face in it, and wiped all the tears and snot on Shen Xiao's body.

Shen Xiao slowly raised his hand, carefully and distressedly stroked Echo's hair, comforting Echo. Although Shen Xiao has no love for Ike, he still has sympathy and forbearance for Ike.

In this relationship, Aike did nothing wrong, only Shen Xiao's tangled heart was wrong, and what was wrong between them was just a mistake. Ai Ke is a good girl, Shen Xiao actually regards Ai Ke as a friend in his heart, but he thinks that he should not be able to be a friend in the future, and don't do it again.

Aike had cried enough, and she had enough trouble, she wiped her face with Shen Xiao's clothes vigorously, and finally took a step back and came out of Shen Xiao's arms.

"Break up, break up, this girl is very sought-after, but idol, remember, it's not you who dumped me, it's this girl who doesn't want you." Even in the end, Ai Ke called Shen Xiao idol. Her brisk tone made it clear that she let go and that she didn't want an ugly breakup.

"You dumped me, I don't deserve you." Shen Xiao followed Ike's words and said. Seeing that Aike's mood was better, Shen Xiao's sense of guilt was also a little less.

"Go quickly, this girl will be upset when she sees you, don't be an eyesore in front of me." Ai Ke finally looked at Shen Xiao deeply, and then said to Shen Xiao.

"Okay." Shen Xiao looked at Ai Ke's crying, somewhat funny face, and didn't laugh, but just reminded, "Wipe your face well, goodbye, Ai Ke." "Never again.

"Idol." Ai Ke looked at Shen Xiao who turned around, and called out anxiously, and made her last small request: "Finally, at the end, can you kiss me?" "You've never kissed me, never. Echo thought sadly.

Shen Xiao half-turned around, closed his eyes, thought for a while, as if he understood, opened his eyes, and turned back to his body to face Echo.

Shen Xiao took a few steps forward, put his right hand on the back of Ike's head, raised Ike's head slightly, lowered his head, and gently landed his mouth on Ike's forehead, really just gently, like the feeling of a feather falling, obviously falling, but it doesn't seem to fall, it seems to be nothing.

This time, Shen Xiao didn't stay any longer, and turned around and walked away firmly, step by step, not fast or slow, but quickly disappeared in Ike's eyes.

Ai Ke touched his forehead with his hand, looked at Shen Xiao's back and thought: This last kiss is my previous regret, the best compensation you gave me, and the last separation. Goodbye, idol, really goodbye, we'll never see each other again. From now on, I won't bother you again.

Ai Ke couldn't see Shen Xiao's back anymore, and turned away firmly, there was not a single tear in her eyes, only firmness far from here, her tears had just ended, she was no longer a crying little girl, she had to learn to be strong, this was what this relationship taught her.

Both of them walked away, and a tall, strong, dark wheat-colored figure walked out from behind the tree, and this person was Xiahou Xuan. Coming out of the equipment room, Xiahou Xuan, who was about to go to the cafeteria, happened to meet Shen Xiao and Ai Ke. Xiahou Xuan, who knew the current situation of the two of them, had no choice but to stand behind the tree and observe them secretly, only thinking that they would go far away and then come out.

Xiahou Xuan witnessed the whole process between Shen Xiao and Ike, and his expression when he came out didn't look relaxed, but a little gloomy.

Xiahou Xuan's thick voice sounded a little low: "Looking at the intimacy of the two of them, I actually feel uncomfortable, especially the kiss at the end, why do you think about it, how dazzling?" The blinding eyes wanted to tear them apart in the middle at once. Why did I ......" Xiahou Xuan didn't finish speaking, he was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, his eyes looked in the direction of the cafeteria, and his eyes were slowly scanning, as if he was looking for a person.
