Chapter 24 : The Sky Under the Haze
Gu Xiaoqing could still feel those unkind eyes.
But she didn't care.
She was back in school today. The matter of Dai Yuheng jumping off the building was finally over. No one knows the truth of the matter, and the official explanation is that Dai Yuheng is depressed due to excessive academic pressure.
She finally has the courage to face everyone, not because the matter has passed, but because Yin Yue's care and care for herself these days has allowed her to face it calmly.
She was originally such a girl, but she was made to forget herself by the jokes of this world.
Gu Xiaoqing took Yin Yue's hand and stepped into the school gate together, she didn't care about other people's eyes, let alone think about other people's thoughts. She is who she is, why should she linger in the curses of others instead of looking for the real outlet?
"Xiaoqing, you're back."
Gu Xiaoqing turned her head and saw Wu Wei's smiling face.
Although Mr. Wu is not young, he is still personable and has a warm smile on his face.
Gu Xiaoqing also smiled,
"Well, Mr. Wu hasn't seen you for a long time."
Gu Xiaoqing is really beautiful, it is that kind of kitsch but not vulgar feeling. Her smile is contagious.
Wu Wei was also stunned.
She is like a bright flower blooming in the weeds that cover the mountains. Although she is not a lotus, Wu Wei only wants to use Zhou Dunyi's words in "Ai Lian Said" to describe this girl.
"Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons. The middle through the outside is straight, not vines and branches, the fragrance is far and clear, the pavilion is planted, and it can be viewed from a distance and can not be blasphemed. ”
She is an unnamed flower, and she gathers the beauty of all the flowers in the world.
But Wu Wei is a greedy person, he doesn't just want to watch from afar.
What a beautiful soul, her soul has a fatal attraction.
Wu Wei greedily smelled the air in the corridor, as if the smell of Gu Xiaoqing was scattered in the corridor.
Wu Wei's eyes moistened, and he couldn't remember the last time this feeling appeared. He just wanted to enjoy the pure virgin fragrance scattered in the air for a while, he just wanted to crush this flower and smear the juice of the flower all over his body.
Wu Wei's eyes were bloodshot, and the distance between human and animal nature was only separated by a layer of conscience.
He stood in the hallway for a long time, knowing that the bell rang for class, and he came back to his senses. After sorting out his expression, he walked into the classroom with that gentle and kind smile again.
"Hello students......"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yin Yue finally took a breath.
When he heard Gu Xiaoqing say that he wanted to go back to school, Yin Yue was a little worried.
He was unwilling to speculate on his classmates with the worst malice, but the facts did not allow him to argue. The world has long been distorted. When blindly following the trend has become the mainstream culture of this small social atmosphere, whoever is the most sober will be the most absurd.
But Gu Xiaoqing is still determined to go back to school. Looking at her determined eyes, Yin Yue couldn't stop it.
But seeing Xiaoqing, who had been laughing today, Yin Yue's heart that had been hanging finally let go.
"Xiaoqing...... How are you today? ”
Gu Xiaoqing squeezed Yin Yue's hand,
"Don't worry, brother, I don't care about other people's eyes. I'm not afraid of shadows, I didn't do anything wrong. ”
Yin Yue was a little moved, but also a little annoyed. This girl is too strong, but she has too much cowardice.
Now that they finally dare to be together openly, Gu Xiaoqing doesn't care, so why should Yin Yue care?
He clenched Gu Xiaoqing's hand, he had already decided that he would not let go again in this life, and no one could stop the relationship between these two people.
The silent sunset shone on the small bodies of the two people, and also illuminated their youth. Life may flow quickly, but memories will always flow in the mind. When people who entered the twilight of the year look back, they are still willing to remember this wonderful time.
The rest of the passing clouds are just embellishments, and only the unforgettable ones are favorites.
"Yin Yue, this is your little object?"
The old smoke came out of nowhere, which startled Yin Yue.
Seeing that it was old smoke, Yin Yue glanced at him.
"Old smoke, can you not engage in a 'surprise attack', it's very scary."
Lao Yan ignored Yin Yue, glanced at Gu Xiaoqing, and laughed.
Gu Xiaoqing blushed when he saw it, and hid behind Yin Yue.
"Brother......
"Ah...... I'm sorry, Xiaoqing. I forgot to introduce you, his name is Lao Yan, it's mine...... Forehead...... Pal! ”
"Yes, good friend."
Yin Yue really doesn't know how to define Lao Yan, according to his age, Lao Yan seems to be his grandfather, but this person is usually with him like his good brother.
So much so that Yin Yue was a little overwhelmed when introducing Lao Yan.
"Hahahaha...... Yin asked you to be a stinky boy, why am I so much older than you, why do you want to call uncle when you introduce yourself to your girlfriend. ”
On the contrary, Gu Xiaoqing was very angry, she came out from behind Yin Yue and stretched out her hand,
"Uncle Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Gu Xiaoqing's action made Lao Yan a little overwhelmed, he didn't reach out and grabbed his messy hair.
"Eh, lovely girl, let's not shake hands, uncle's hands are too dirty."
Gu Xiaoqing didn't hate Lao Yan, she was just scared by Lao Yan. Since he is a good friend of Yin Yue, this person must not be too bad. She is very willing to accept Lao Yan.
There was light in Lao Yan's eyes, and he liked the two children in front of him very much. It's like returning to the way I was when I was young, full of vigor and yearning.
The school building not far behind him was covered in sunlight, and the glass on the windows shimmered.
Lao Yan lit a cigarette and looked back at the school and the school building.
No matter how warm the sunset is, there are always shadows that the sun can't shine on. Like in this school building, how many rancid souls are wandering in it?
Lao Yan squinted his eyes slightly, and carefully smacked the cigarette in his hand. I want to find out the truth of fate from nicotine.
Lan Qing appeared beside Lao Yan,
"What is your wish?"
"My wish will be fulfilled by myself."
Lan Qing nodded and prepared to leave.
"Do you know how my daughter is doing, young man?"
Old Yan stopped him, and Lan Qing smiled at him.
"You've seen her shadow."
"That's the case...... Old Yan extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and bowed deeply to Lan Qing.
"Thank you, what's your name, please?"
"It's none of my business, it's all the rules of the world."
"And the story hasn't come to an end yet, don't be so anxious to thank me."
Lan Qing shook her head and waved at him.
"My name doesn't matter, your name does, Lao Yan is too ugly."
Lan Qing disappeared into the setting sun.
Lao Yan also walked into the alley, and every step he took, his eyes became firmer.
Lan Qing walked slowly towards the sunset, he didn't want to go too fast, she was afraid that if she walked too fast, time would slip away.
Today's scenery doesn't tell the story of tomorrow. Tomorrow's story has the same scenery as today's.
Lan Qing clenched his fists, he hated himself very much, he had such a great ability but he couldn't change anything.
All that is to come is a no-go zone for him. He could only watch as the people in the story walked inside. The people in the story can only smile at him and wave at him.
Sometimes Lan Qing also wants to fulfill a wish for herself, and then wait for her to pass away. But he has an endless life, which means that he has to experience the endless mockery and torture of this world.
When you play with life, life will play with you.
When you receive the world's bounty, your soul will be the possession of the world.
"Little Green ......"
“……”
Lan Qing and Lan Lan appeared on the roof of Gu Xiaoqing's house again.
They sat on it for a long time, and no one spoke. Just watching the stars keep falling in the night sky. Lan Qing was fascinated, and Lan Lan cried silently.
"Can't you really change it?"
"Everything is predestined. We are just spectators, and the audience can't touch the script on the stage. ”
"What is the value of your existence? Is it just to see these human sufferings? ”
Lan Lan was already crying like a tearful man.
Lan Qing was silent for a long time, and he looked down at his feet.
"Sometimes we actually suffer more than the people in the story."
"Sooner or later, they will all die, they will be reborn, they will forget everything. And we have to remember these stories for the rest of our lives. ”
Lan Qing looked at Lan Lan with an indescribable pain in her heart. He jumped from the top of the building, and in a blink of an eye, he returned to Lan Lan's side.
"Sometimes, the Grim Reaper is more like a human than a human. Humans will disguise, they will hurt. And we won't do anything. ”
"We're just going to guide their souls back where they belong."
"But you don't have feelings, do you?"
"And what am I to you?"
Lan Qing suddenly became a little angry, Lan Lan was too affected by this incident. But isn't it the same for you?
Unconsciously, I have a lot of emotions that I shouldn't have before.
"I just don't cry, otherwise I'd like to sit under the moon and cry like you. It's more comfortable that way. ”
Lan Qing hugged Lan Lan and let her cry in her arms.
"Little Green ......"
"Huh?"
"If I'm dead, won't you cry?"
Lan Qing didn't answer, too many things happened to Lan Lan, and she forgot too many things.
Lan Qing regretted that she hadn't been able to protect her. There were too many bonds between them, and what happened was something that even Lan Qing couldn't touch.
In any case, Lan Qing just wanted to protect Lan Lan. He didn't want to see Lan Lan's body again, and he didn't want to bury Lan Lan again.
The feeling of heartache and not being able to cry made him unable to breathe, and he never wanted to experience this kind of thing a second time in his life.
"I'm not going to let you die."
Lan Qing touched Lan Lan's head, everything that happened to this poor girl must be because of herself.
Lan Qing could already smell the conspiracy.
The chirping of cicadas under the stars is peaceful, but the gloom above the sky is the calm before the storm.
