Chapter 12: Confession

"I'm sorry... Zhuo Ying. Jin Bi's voice came faintly, no longer the coldness just now, but a little guilty and weak.

"Just like Chu He said, I never questioned your meaning. Your acumen is something I haven't always had, and I understand how important you are about everyone's safety, and I understand why you're so flustered. I just hope you understand, I just want to tell the facts I saw, and from the perspective of a doctor, tell you the best plan to place Xiaoli and Mo Yunxia. ”

"I'm sorry......" Zhuo Ying lifted the face buried in Chu He's chest, looked at Jin Bi with red eyes, and walked slowly to hug her. I'm sorry Jinbi, and I'm sorry everyone. I went too far today...... I've sorted out my emotions and won't talk nonsense anymore, and I'm not going to be rash anymore. Thank you... Thank you all for your willingness to understand me. ”

"Oops, okay, okay... After the dispute, they apologized to each other, isn't it okay! We don't really blame you. Shui Qing hurriedly played the round and hugged Zhuo Ying's other hand with a smile. Now that everyone has calmed down, let's think about how to do it. If you don't decide, it's really going to be dark! ”

Only then did I realize that, as Shui Qing said, there were still wisps of sunshine that had been covered by large dark clouds at some point. The sky was suffocating with blue and gray, as if it was going to be completely dark in the next moment.

"Let's do it, let's divide the work." Chu He clapped his hands excitedly and looked around at each of us. "Xiaoli's injury needs to be recuperated and taken care of. Jinbi, it's up to you to take care of the little gifts. Mo Yunxia's wordsβ€”"

"I'll take care of him." I immediately answered, looking a little abrupt, so I had to explain to Chu He Zhiwu. Although he was not as seriously injured as Xiao Li, he was injured in his arm, which was inevitably inconvenient. Plus it's because of my injuries......"

The more I talked, the more uncomfortable I became, and I always felt that Mo Yunxia behind me was looking at me with a strange ambiguous look. Chu He smiled heartily and expressed understanding. Then he diverted the conversation, alleviating my embarrassment.

"Then Shui Qing, you come with me, let's go up a little further, and set up the tent as soon as possible at the position closest to the crater, so that there will be no place for everyone to rest at night. As for Zhuo Ying... You're ....... now."

"I'll be with you too." Zhuo Ying snorted and looked at Chu He firmly. "I'm much better, trust me."

"OK, let's get moving. The four of you will stay here, and we will go ahead first and find a flat and clean place. If you have something, just call us at any time. Chu He instructed me and Jinbi. We nodded immediately, and Chu He immediately turned around and returned to the car, carrying two huge duffel bags with tents, and walked towards the high end of the wasteland with Zhuo Ying Shuiqing.

"Let's find a place to sit for a while." Mo Yunxia glanced at Xiao Li and stabbed the silence of the four of them. Jin Bi shook her head, immediately agreed, and helped Xiao Li to walk towards the big stone on the side. Mo Yunxia turned his head to look at me and smiled slightly, "Let's go too." ”

I let out a groan and followed his back. But I saw him striding and walking steadily, and he didn't need my care at all. I couldn't help blushing a little, but after he sat down in silence, I chose a position not far from him and sat down with him, without saying a word.

Jin Bi seemed to sense the awkwardness of the atmosphere, and didn't know what to find for a while. The air was silent for a while, only Xiao Li's painful whispers floated from time to time.

"Little gift... Would you like to move around? Jin Bi seemed to have discovered the superfluity of herself and Xiao Li, and hinted with a fake smile, "Why don't we go and see Chu He and them, don't you like to see tents the most?" ”

"Huh? When did I like to watch the tent set up......" Xiaoli was a little confused, "Sister Jinbi, I'm so dizzy, I don't want to move... Heyβ€”"

"-Oh, let's go, it's good to take a walk." Jin Bi impatiently dragged Xiaoli up, and couldn't help but say that she carried him to the other end of Mangyuan, "Gui Ying, I'll take Xiaoli for a walk, and Mo Yunxia will be handed over to you!" ”

"Ahh Okay, but it's a small gift...... Is it really okay? ”

"Sister Hotaru, I-"

"What's wrong with him," Jin Bi smiled too brightly, and even had a bit of a sunny demeanor, which instantly covered up Xiao Li's cramped call. "Besides, with me... Then you talk slowly, let's go first! ”

I watched in amazement as Jin Bi dragged the stumbling Xiao Li with amazing strength, following the footsteps of Chu He and his party towards the depths of the withered yellow.

β€œTough day fo

him.” I looked back at Mo Yunxia, and he also withdrew the pity that fell on Xiao Li. Looking at me with some doubts, "Looking at your appearance, she shouldn't be like this usually, Jinbi." ”

"Uh... Yes, Jin Bi is usually very quiet and never argues with people. ”

Her father, Professor Chang, is also like this, and he usually takes classes mildly. But when it comes to some unfair current history, it becomes fierce and outspoken. Mo Yunxia talked about his mentor with a respectful face, "Jinbi can be regarded as a scholarly family." ”

"Jinbi is indeed a very good girl. Don't look at the appearance that she is always timid, but after getting along for a long time, you can find that she is a very strong person. It's not like Shui Qing...... I shout every day, and I don't have an idea when I encounter something......"

"What about you? What kind of person are you? ”

I turned my head to look and met Mo Yunxia's dark eyes. He didn't know when he took off his glasses, and without the refraction of the lenses, a pair of deep eyes became more and more penetrating, and he couldn't take his eyes off it. The long eyelashes are well-defined, and the thick eyebrows make the gaze particularly sincere.

"I don't know." I looked back and stared at the tip of my shoe. "Maybe I'm the most ordinary of the four girls."

"Really?"

"Isn't it? Warm and cheerful, she is very sociable, and is the most popular girl in our class. Jinbi is shy on the surface, strong on the inside, and her family education and psychological quality are stronger than many boys. Not to mention Zhuo Ying, although she is a scholar, she is not cold at all, and all of us can't do without her. It's just me... There is no brilliance on his body, and he has always been the most ordinary one. ”

"You're not ordinary," Mo Yunxia's voice was soft like a cloud, lingering not far above his head. "You're just, so sad."

"You...... What did you say? ”

"Lu Zhiyu, is this his name?"

Hearing this name suddenly, my heart couldn't help but contract, and then a faint pain came from me. It turns out that no matter whether I am alone or surrounded by friends, I can't forget him, and I can't forget the most secret pain in my heart. Just like the black clouds on the horizon at this moment, you may not have time to take care of it in times of crisis, and you can forget it for a while. But when you come back to your senses and look at the sky again, you will still be horrified to find that instead of drifting away, it is condensing more and more low.

And you, except to stand still and wait for the icy rainstorm to fall on you at the last moment, there is no other way to refuse to accept fate.

"What did Shui Qing tell you?"

There was a flash of white light in the sky, and then there was a rumbling thunder.

Heavy rain is coming.

"She just said that he was good to you."

The smile inadvertently spreads from the lips, but does not extend to the corners of the eyes.

I don't know if it's an immersion in the sweet past, or a satire on the bitter reality. Maybe my former self squandered too much extravagant love in that person's arms, so much so that I ignored that this love may also have a limit, and it is no longer enough to accompany me to the end of eternity.

It's the autumn rainy season again, but the man who is waiting for me with an umbrella no longer exists in my life.

"You also think he spoiled me too much, so he spoiled me so squeamish, didn't you?"

"There's nothing wrong with him being nice to you, and your dependence is a matter of course." Mo Yunxia's voice was still silent, and he didn't seem to notice the mountain rain falling. "The fault is only that his departure is too undignified."

"Decent...?" I turned to Mo Yunxia, and my voice was filled with confusion. Indeed, as a stranger I met for the first time, his judgment of my relationship with Lu Zhiyu was inevitably a little intrusive and arrogant. "How much do you know about us?"

"Not much." Mo Yunxia seemed to sense my subtle anger, and he also turned his head and smiled at me. "And most of what I know is from every minute and second I got with you today."

"Today?"

"Today is the first time you've seen your friends since you separated." Mo Yunxia's eyes stroked my messy hair, which made people a little ashamed for no reason. "It's always sad when lovers are separated. But Gui Ying, it's been a month, and your mood hasn't improved at all. Is it? ”

An inexplicable chill spread from the soles of my feet to my chest, and I couldn't help but shiver slightly. Mo Yunxia didn't notice it, lowered his head, and the smile became stronger.

"He walked very suddenly, suddenly to the point where you were caught off guard, and suddenly to... Even if it's been a long time, you can't let go...... Isn't it? ”

"What do you want to say?"

"I don't think you have to be like this."

"Do you think I should forget the past as soon as possible and adapt to loneliness as soon as possible?"

"No, I think you don't have to force yourself to forget and adapt like you do now." Mo Yunxia's deep voice faintly revealed a hint of obsessive firmness, "Your beauty, your fragility and pain, all deserve to be carefully guarded." To be honest, that's the real reason I'm here today. ”

Even after a day of getting along, I have already learned Mo Yunxia's straightforward and bright personality, even to the point of abruptness. It's just that I suddenly heard such an explicit sentence, and I couldn't adapt to it, and I couldn't help but be secretly frightened. I didn't know how to answer, so he stopped, just quietly watching the flush on my face creep up to my neck.

There was no word for two moments, and for a moment the air fell silent.
