Chapter 9: Backlight

Su Yue stared at the screen in a daze, she felt her heart pounding, hot blood boiling in her veins, and an unprecedented inexplicable sentimentality spread...

She remembered the same lonely and helpless self she had been, and she knew that lonely souls always longed to meet that light.

"Where is she? I'll go find her. Su Yue said firmly.

"Are you crazy!" Li Qianqian was taken aback by Su Yue's decisive reaction.

"I'm not crazy, I just don't want her to fall like this."

"Su Yue, what are you thinking? Her fall was her own choice, and it wasn't your fault.

You can sympathize with her, but there's no need to wade into the muddy waters, right? What's more, Mu Yao is also trying to find a way to find her, just trust him and leave it to him to deal with. And then again, even if you help her at this time, will she be grateful to you? ”

"I don't need her gratitude, and I don't do it out of pity for her. It's just because I can understand her loneliness, the helplessness that comes from the heart, even through the screen, I can really feel it.

I know that if a person gives up love, he will be pulled down into the abyss by the claws of loneliness. That bottomless darkness can make people despair and numb. I'm not sure, but I don't want to sit on the sidelines. ”

"Well, then I see." Li Qianqian looked at Su Yue's determined eyes, sighed deeply, and said, "I only know that she is in the bar area of Ninth Street, but I don't know which bar she is in." ”

"Thank you, Sissi." Su Yue nodded with a smile, picked up her schoolbag and ran out the door.

When I got to the bar area on Ninth Street, it was already half past nine in the evening. As far as the eye can see, there is a brilliant and bright light under the dark night sky.

The dazzlingly decorated little bars are next to each other, forming a gorgeous landscape that lights up this night of drunken gold.

Su Yue walked into every bar one by one, shuttling through the noisy crowd, trying to find Chu Yixin's figure.

The bar's brilliant lights and powerful drumbeats fall on the glasses filled with various liquids, and the atmosphere of ambiguity and mystery fills the room.

Su Yue had never seen so many men and women clinging to each other, writhing wildly in the middle of the dance floor.

Their misty eyes and loose hair were mixed with the strong smell of cigarettes and hormones, like a group of beasts ready to launch a fierce attack on their prey.

From time to time, these "beasts" threw a kind of playful and even mocking glance at Su Yue, and then pulled each other's ears to say something loudly, and laughed again.

Following their gaze, Su Yue looked down at herself, looking like a good student wearing a school uniform. She had no choice but to smile helplessly, lamenting that she was so out of place with this world.

Su Yue dodged the pursuit of all kinds of eyes and continued to grope in the crowd. Inadvertently, she found that there was a girl sitting alone next to a small bar in the corner, looking quite similar to Chu Yixin from a distance.

It's just that the lights are too dim and the atmosphere of this smoky miasma makes it impossible for her to recognize it immediately, so Su Yue has to slowly squeeze through the noisy crowd.

"Chu Yixin?" Su Yue walked up to the girl and asked cautiously.

The girl looked up listlessly, then blinked in surprise, her thick false eyelashes fluttering slightly.

"It's really you!" Su Yue was overjoyed that she had finally found Chu Yixin, but after a closer look, she found that her eyes were full of tears.

Chu Yixin looked very different from what she looked like on weekdays, Su Yue looked at her silently, no wonder she couldn't recognize her at a glance.

She wore long, freshly dyed flaxen curls and age-appropriate makeup on her face. With a lady's cigarette in her mouth, a white smoke ring spat out from between her red lips and slowly floated into the air.

She wore a camouflage tight top, a black leather skirt underneath, and a pair of pointed red high heels on her feet, and the whole person looked sexy and seductive.

"Why are you here?" Chu Yixin threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground, and then stepped on it with her high heels.

"I'm worried about you, so I'm here." Su Yue looked at her and said seriously.

"Huh." Chu Yixin sneered, raised her head and looked at Su Yue: "Are you here to see my jokes?" I advise you to forget it, you don't have to. ”

"You're mistaken, I'm here to talk to you. I know you like Mu Yao very much, I think we can talk seriously and find a way that is good for each other..."

"Then will you give me a chance?" Chu Yixin interrupted Su Yue, and then grabbed her hand tightly.

She said in an almost hysterical voice, "Do you know how important Mu Yao is to me? I can't live without him..."

Su Yue looked at Chu Yixin's eyes full of sadness, and her heart was full of indescribable taste.

"Actually, before I met Mu Yao, I was here to accompany the wine. I've been doing this kind of shady work..."
