Chapter Twenty-Three: Golden Autumn
Su Yue gently put the little ginkgo back into the book, and went to wash up and get ready to go out. Today is Mu Yao's birthday, and it is also the first time they are about to meet since the last time they separated.
A cool autumn breeze blew outside the window, gently blowing the still open books on the table, and the little ginkgo's body swayed gently in the breeze. It used all its strength to grasp the pages firmly, for fear that it would be blown away.
He loved this book very much, and he wanted to accompany the little master to read the wonderful and wonderful stories in this book.
The book happens to be opened on page 108, which records the protagonist's inner monologue:
"I couldn't control my eyes and couldn't help but look at him, like a person with a dry mouth who drinks water when he knows it's poisonous. I had no intention of loving him, and I tried hard to pinch out the sprout of love, but when I saw him again, the love in my heart was resurrected. ”
If you take a few steps back, maybe the view will be more open, and everything will not be so unbearable...
Su Yue couldn't accept her identity as "Mu Yao's friend" at first. But she clearly knew in her heart that at this moment, if she still wanted to see Mu Yao often, this identity alone was the safest and only choice.
"Then try to be his best friend."
wants to become Mu Yao's best friend, and silently accompany him, waiting for the opportunity to fulfill his actual wish. So correspondingly, should I also change?
In terms of appearance, personality, behavior patterns, and so on, it is no longer possible to continue to follow the timid, cowardly style of behavior that used to be. It was because of some shortcomings in his personality that led to a misunderstanding with Mu Yao, which would only make him look down on himself even more.
If I become a different person, I become a different person, and I am no longer the same person I used to be. Will the freshness and characteristics brought by it have a chance to rekindle Mu Yao's interest in me?
Su Yue's heart did not let go of all kinds of obsessions with Mu Yao, and she decided to completely "transform" herself from the inside out. She hopes to "transform" herself into the type that is more acceptable to Mu Yao in her imagination, and stay by his side as a friend, looking for an opportunity to make Mu Yao fall in love with another new self again.
"Even if you don't be yourself again, so what?"
Looking at her neat and neat ear-length short hair in the mirror, Su Yue smiled at herself with satisfaction. She just cut off her long hair last week. The long strands of hair that had been cut off were like the hesitation and caution in Su Yue's heart in the past, and she hoped that they would disappear without a trace forever.
Su Yue began to learn how to apply makeup to herself, and she drew her eyebrows more neatly and delicately, applying mascara to her already curly eyelashes that appeared thicker. Plop blush on fair skin and apply vibrant color to delicate lips.
She began to experiment with something more sexy and mature, such as a low-necked T-shirt, mini skirts, off-the-shoulder dresses, and high heels that she had never worn before.
I'm going to participate in Mu Yao's birthday party tonight, they haven't seen each other for so long, Su Yue hopes that today's look can make her look new in front of Mu Yao.
She took out the birthday gift she had prepared for Mu Yao in advance from the cabinet: a delicate figure in the shape of a bear and a bottle of fine red wine.
In order to choose a birthday gift for Mu Yao, Su Yue put a lot of thought into it. At first, if it was just according to her own preferences, she preferred to choose some personal items that she could carry with her and give them to Mu Yao.
But now she can only claim to be a friend, it doesn't seem appropriate to send some personal objects, and if Mu Yao doesn't carry it with her, she will lose the meaning of this gift.
What kind of gift can not only match the identity, but also fully express Su Yue's hidden heart?
