"It's been so long? Haven't even found anyone yet? ”

The usual gentle tone suddenly exploded, and no one knew what kind of crazy whirlpool waves were hidden under the calm surface of the lake, just waiting for a faint signal to tear through the void, and the pale illusion of the past was destroyed.

Qi Xiu's slender ten fingers that were shuttling and flying on the piano keys were tightly pinched at this time, and the knuckles were a little white because they were too hard, and their quiet black eyes were full of gloom.

Who is that girl?

At that time, all the fragments of broken memories appeared in front of him, the soft touch left by the warm and fragile neck skin on Qi Xiu's fingertips, the red and sticky blood, and the blade on the side glowed with the cold luster of metal, and it fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

His eyes were so indescribably frightened, his throat was clogged with the constant gushing red waves, and even making a clear sound became extremely difficult, blood trickled into his throat, trachea, stained Qi Xiu's white ten fingers, and smeared a large patch of blood on his clothes.

Qi Xiu's heart suddenly swelled with frenzied fear, looking at the body in front of him that was cooling little by little, looking at the blood that was gradually no longer surging, and the rusty breath of heavy blood all around him, only the thought of escaping was left in his mind.

He's dead.

Get out of here, get out of here now!

At this moment, Qi Xiu suddenly had the calmness of being on the border of life and death, picked up the blade that fell to the ground, and stuffed it into his pocket indiscriminately. Anyway, this dress will be destroyed together, and it doesn't matter if it gets dirty or not, the cleanliness habit is so weak that it is completely ignored at such a juncture.

He hurried out of the blood-stained alley, and glanced at the blood-soaked fingers with some pathos, his hands that he could no longer wash.

There seems to be a voice behind it! Qi Xiu turned his head as if he had a feeling, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and at the corner of this alley, a girl was like a frightened deer, her steps were hurried and panicked, and she fled here with her back to him first.

Did she see it?

Qi Xiu's eyes instantly became cold, his fingers touched the sharp edge of the blade in his pocket, and his fingertips hurt, maybe it was scratched, but he didn't care, and quickly chased after it.

In an instant, the girl's black back walked into the white light under the street lamp, and he reacted, out of this alley, there was a monitored road outside, he took two steps back, and still let the girl go.

"Well, we've done our best."

A man's helpless voice came from the other end of the phone, pulling Qi Xiu out of the past that he didn't want to recall, and Qi Xiu's face was even colder.

"What a rubbish! I can't find a little girl! What use do you have! ”

Qi Xiu immediately wanted to throw the phone out in a rage, thinking that the girl might have seen those scenes, he couldn't sleep well every night, I am afraid that only by pulling her out and completely sealing her mouth can he feel at ease.

Thinking like this, Qi Xiu's expression became more and more ruthless.

If there is someone who usually knows Qi Xiu here, I am afraid it will be hard to believe that the murderous and brutal young man in front of him is the sunny and breezy Qi Xiu on weekdays, the corners of his lips are always smiling, and the starry eyes are full of the depth of time and space, and he can see through everything at a glance, but he gently swallows up all this muddy darkness, that beautiful and quiet young man.

His eyebrows and eyes were originally fallen immortals, but at this moment, they were engraved with deep hatred and anger, blood flashed, cold and warm disappeared without a trace, leaving only the terrifying tranquility between the storm.

"Your description is too general, and you don't see the specific appearance of the girl, there are two schools in the vicinity, which match the girl you described...... It's like looking for a needle in a haystack! ”

Although the man was a little dissatisfied, obviously because of Qi Xiu's identity, there was still a trace of awe in his tone.

Qi Xiu was silent for a moment, knowing that there were no clues this time, so he simply hung up the phone.

"Who the hell are you?"

Qi Xiu turned around and squinted at the thin layer of sunlight that came through the window, and the thin gold was inlaid with the shadow outline of a few leaves, and Qi Xiu looked at the few patches and was stunned.

He is in the obscurity and darkness of this light, and he does not dare to expose it, but he tries in vain to be closely embedded with the light.

"Brother Qi Xiu? What are you doing? ”

A familiar female voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Du Ruolin saw that the door was just hidden, so she pushed it open and walked in, seeing that Qi Xiu was not practicing or reading a book as usual, but standing there in a daze, she tilted her head and leaned over with some curiosity.

Qi Xiu instantly reacted to the origin of this voice, and the terrifying expression that was still cloudy a second ago instantly dissipated, and when he turned to Du Ruolin, he was still smiling lightly and lightly in the past, with gentle eyes, and his long eyelashes were like butterfly wings blooming: "Ruolin? Aren't you in class right now? Why did you suddenly come to me? ”

"Oh, don't ask about that."

Du Ruolin pretended to be annoyed, stuck out his tongue, turned his eyes to the other part of the piano room, and picked up something with the shape of a remote control on the piano keys with some curiosity:

"Brother Qi Xiu, what is this?"

Qi Xiu was attracted by the girl's voice, and turned his head to see that Du Ruolin was holding a metronome in his hand, looking at him blankly, his clear gaze made Qi Xiu's heart move slightly, and he couldn't help but take steps and stand closer to her.

"This is for counting beats, and I found it in the box when I was sorting out the sheet music today." Qi Xiu smiled and took the metronome from Du Ruolin's hand, and when his fingers touched hers, Qi Xiu's face changed slightly and he retracted his hand.

Du Ruolin saw Qi Xiu suddenly tremble, and looked at him with some confusion.

"Brother Qi Xiu? What happened to you? ”

"It's fine." Qi Xiu reacted to his gaffe, silently put his hands behind him, and just bowed his head warmly, "Do you want to try playing the piano?" I'll teach you. ”

Du Ruolin nodded hurriedly, she had seen Qi Xiu be able to play a complex song so smoothly, and she was also admiring and envious in her heart, and she had long wanted to try it, but she knew almost nothing about music theory, for fear that she would rush up and break something...... That piano felt expensive just by looking at the glossy color.

"Come, sit down here."

Qi Xiu leaned over and lowered the height of the piano bench, and stretched out his hand to signal to Du Ruolin, who couldn't wait to sit up and looked back at Qi Xiu, looking forward to his next prompt.

"Bend your fingers like this, imagine you're holding an apple, and from here, it's do." Qi Xiu habitually stretched out his palm, wanting to correct her gesture of playing the piano hand in hand, but suddenly paused in the air, retracted as if he remembered something, and only instructed Du Ruolin with words, letting her pluck the keys by herself to the rhythm of the metronome.

"That's pretty good, even if it's just a simple note, you understand it quickly." Qi Xiu straightened up and praised Du Ruolin, "You try to practice for a while, if you don't understand, ask me." ”

Du Ruolin has always been rough-lined, and she only faintly felt that today's Brother Qi Xiu seemed to be in a mood that was a little wrong, but the other party had the same smile on his face as usual, so she didn't care, thinking that she was just too careful.

Playing with those keys repeatedly, Du Ruolin quickly got bored, and took advantage of Qi Xiu's time to look out the window in a daze, stood up, looked left and right curiously in the room, and picked up a page on the table.

The big black letters on the head come into view, the volunteer questionnaire?

Is Brother Qi Xiu enrolled in college? Could it be the Juilliard School he told her about that night? Du Ruolin looked at the rows of English that he couldn't understand and rubbed his nose.

Looking down further, the letters of honor were filled with fine and delicate handwriting, Du Ruolin couldn't help but sigh in his heart The gap between people, Brother Qi Xiu is perfect, but his grades are barely struggling, and the words are written crookedly, with a naïve elementary school student's stupidity.

Even the ID photo is so good-looking!

Du Ruolin's gaze swept over the paper randomly, and suddenly saw the "birthday" box, and suddenly stopped there.

Qi Xiu's brother's birthday is September 23...... Isn't it today on the 23rd?

Du Ruolin was taken aback, and quickly confirmed it carefully in her heart, she also asked Qin Xiaofu about the date yesterday, today is September 23, it won't be wrong!

She didn't even know about Qi Xiu's brother's birthday!

Du Ruolin was suddenly a little glad that he saw this form, and without thinking about it, he dropped the form and ran to Qi Xiu's side, grabbed Qi Xiu's hand with both hands, and had a sincere smile on his face:

"Brother Qi Xiu! Happy birthday to you! ”

Qi Xiucai was immersed in his emotions, and suddenly his hand was pulled, and he was startled, and only then did he come back to his senses, and he saw the hands that were holding him tightly, and his face suddenly changed.

Du Ruolin didn't know what was going on, Qi Xiu's originally somewhat dazed and empty face suddenly became very gloomy, and a brute force directly shook her hand away!

Du Ruolin couldn't help but be stunned.

She had never seen such a terrifying look on Brother Qi Xiu's face, and she was stunned and suddenly felt that Brother Qi Xiu in front of her was like another person, and the Qi Xiu she knew well had never had such a wolf-like sharp but painful cold light in her eyes.

“…… Brother Qi Xiu? ”

Du Ruoli felt a little frightened for no reason, and tentatively whispered his name, Qi Xiu turned his back to her, silent.

Did she do something wrong to make Brother Qi Xiu so angry? Could it be that Brother Qi Xiu doesn't like others to touch his hand casually? Maybe it's because the hands that play the piano are more delicate......

Du Ruolin speculated wildly in her heart, but no matter what the reason, she couldn't completely convince herself, the atmosphere was silent for a long time, a long time, and finally, she silently turned around and left the piano room.

Hearing a faint collision when the door of the piano room was closed, Qi Xiu's body trembled slightly, his eyes slowly softened, and his expression was sad.

He looked down and looked at the hand that was tightly held by the girl just now, it seemed that there was still a trace of the temperature and breath on her skin, such a soft girl's palm, a clean and innocent smile, a person like him who had already been stuck in the mire and covered in dirt, was not worthy of touching her at all.

Suddenly he saw the blood on his hands again, no matter how many times he washed his ten fingers, and scrubbed those golden hands red, those dark rust-colored blood had firmly penetrated between the textures of his skin, even if he peeled the skin and flesh, it couldn't be cleaned.

Qi Xiu held up his violently trembling hands and looked at them for a long time, his black eyes were filled with a circle of painful tears, and the bloody guilt was burning his heart fiercely.
