Heartbeat (2)



He hugged me tightly, but I was still in shock, only feeling heavy and dizzy, and weak limbs, and it took a long time to realize that I was being held by him and broke free.

I looked up, and his eyes were wrapped around my face, and there were two clusters of flames that danced in his eyes. "In order to avoid me, I almost fell, I was so terrible"

The fire in his eyes dazzled me, and I was in a tense and confused state of mind. "I" I stammered, unable to say a word behind me, turned around and fled in a hurry.

I ran downstairs in one go, took a few deep breaths, and turned around, but Xiao Se did not follow, I looked around in a bit of disappointment, but I accidentally noticed that something was falling from a low tree near the stairs in front of me.

I walked over quickly, and saw that it was a shawl, I bent down to pick it up, I felt very familiar, and when I looked closely, it seemed to be Lan Jingyu's shawl, and last night she heard that after Ye Zihan fell from the building, what she was most concerned about was where the shawl went. Now it seems that when Ye Zihan fell from the building, the shawl fell and was blown to the tree by the wind to hang up, and after a whole day, it was blown to the ground by the wind, no wonder she couldn't find it everywhere.

"What is this?" a bleak voice sounded in his ears.

My heart fluttered, and I quickly calmed down and told him that he was Lan Jingyu's shawl, and when Ye Zihan left the VIP room last night, he was afraid that it would be cold outside, so he borrowed Lan Jingyu's shawl.

Xiao Se looked thoughtful. I held Lan Jingyu's shawl in my hand, and looked down, the gold on the shawl was shining, stinging my eyes. Why is it so cruel, life and death have ruined the great future of an excellent dancer

"Put the shawl back on the ground." Xiao Se said suddenly.

"Why" I don't understand.

He gently pulled the shawl from my hand. "So as not to cause unnecessary trouble, if Lan Jingyu asks, why was this shawl so coincidentally found by us, how do you answer?"

I was speechless, his consideration was indeed much more thoughtful than mine.

"Someone else will pick it up." As soon as Xiao Se's hand was released, the shawl fell lightly to the ground.

"Let's go back to the turntable, I have an idea to confirm." After Xiao Se finished speaking, he ran quickly to the stairs.

I followed him up the stairs. When he reached the turntable on the third floor, he walked to the glass curtain wall, looked around, and leaned down to look down with both hands on the railing. The railing was only up to his thigh, and I panicked for no reason, and nervously shouted, "Be careful"

Xiao Se turned around slowly. "You stand at the top of the stairs, I'm still looking down like I did just now, you can carefully distinguish it, can you confirm that it's me."

"Why" I was a little confused by Xiao Se's words, but I quickly thought of a possibility, which surprised me, "Do you suspect that Ye Zihan was pushed down because he was wearing Lan Jingyu's shawl and was mistaken for Lan Jingyu, and the murderer's target was actually Lan Jingyu"

"You can confirm it first." Xiao Se said and turned to look down again.

I shuddered at the sight of his posture, and hurried to finish what he had told me, and walked briskly to the top of the stairs. Tonight the moonlight was dim and the surroundings were dark, and my shoes were on the ground, making a clattering sound that was monotonous and eerie. His own shadow was cast on the ground, swaying, adding a bit of horror to the atmosphere. I took a deep breath and stared at Xiao Se, from my point of view, I couldn't see his face clearly, I could only recognize him by his shape, hairstyle, and clothes.

"You can stand up straight." I shouted.

Xiao Se straightened up unhurriedly and turned to walk towards me. As soon as my gaze met his, I couldn't help but feel a beat in my heart, his eyes were like cold stars in the autumn night sky, flashing with a compelling light, and I was trying to avoid his gaze, but he lowered his eyes and asked, "Can you confirm that it's me?"

"I can't see my face clearly." I began to believe in that possibility, "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I saw Zihan standing where you were just now, looking down. She said that when she stood on a high place and looked down, her vision would expand and her mind would become broader. Actually, I didn't see her face clearly at first, but based on her body shape, hairstyle, and clothing, it was easy to tell that it was her. But tonight, Zihan and Lan Jingyu and I are exactly the same in clothing, hairstyle, and headwear. Zihan and Lan Jingyu's figures are very close, if she looks down on Lan Jingyu's shawl, the possibility of admitting her mistake is indeed very high. ”

Xiao Se nodded. "Do you know who Lan Jingyu has a holiday with?"

"Holidays" I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of a reason, "She's not very likable, I mean women, men should like her." But if you want to talk about the conflict on the surface, all I know is Yin Jingshu. But that's not a big deal, and you can't afford to push people down the stairs. ”

Xiao Se pondered, and said after a while: "Now there are two possibilities, one is that the murderer's target is Ye Zihan, and the other is to mistake Ye Zihan for Lan Jingyu. Either way, the most suspicious ones are the people inside your company. I asked the doorman and there were no outsiders in last night. Then you should pay attention to anyone who is not looking in the mirror normally. ”

I nodded in agreement, remembering the rumors about the curse that Yin Jingshu had heard, and asked tentatively, "Do you believe in the curse?"

Xiao Se was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head. "Of course I don't believe it, and you certainly don't believe it either."

"I heard that more than 20 years ago, Ye Ying, like Ye Zihan, fell from a height. If Ye Zihan and Luo Wenhao are lovers, maybe it is related to the ancestral training of Yejia Village" I saw that Xiao Se's eyes were gloomy, so I stopped talking in time, "Forget it, it's useless for us to speculate here, when Zihan wakes up, the truth will be revealed." ”

"Go back and rest, I want to stay a little longer, so I won't send you." There was a strange, sad expression on his face, and this expression shook me unconsciously.

"I'll be with you." I said without thinking.

He was shocked and looked at me deeply. Suddenly, he was holding my head with both hands, and his lips fell on mine. My mind went blank and I couldn't think of anything. However, his kiss was not as aggressive as before, but it stayed on my lips for a short time with heat and softness, and then slipped from my lips to my ears: "I'm afraid I'll kiss you again, and the smell of smoke is heavy, don't choke you." ”

He still remembers how drunk he was when he broke into my dorm room that night, and he can remember him kissing me and crying. At this time, I didn't have rejection in my heart, let alone the anger of being taken advantage of by him, and I could even feel that deep in my heart, there was a feeling that I had never felt before. It scared me, confused, and overwhelmed.

I took two steps back, and there was a lot of space between us. I didn't even have the courage to look at him, so I chose to turn around again and fled in a hurry.

I ran to the top of the stairs and couldn't help but turn back. Xiao Se stood facing the glass curtain wall, his back, as well as the shadows of trees and buildings, all in a hazy night fog. Is he looking in the mirror, what does he want to see the most perfect version of himself will look like, and whether he calmly accepts himself in reality

I returned to the dormitory in a disorganized mood, and when I passed Yu Meng's room, I saw that the door was open and the lights were on. I pushed the door open, and Yu Meng was lying on the bed, not responding at all. I walked over to the bed and saw her with a pair of eyes wide open, her face very pale, and her eyes were dull.

"Yu Meng," I called her softly.

Yu Meng's eyes moved slowly, gradually wet.

Taken aback, I sat down on the edge of the bed and put my hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong with you?"

Yu Meng shook her head in pain and groaned, "Leave me alone, I'm very upset now, let me be alone." ”

"Okay." I gently patted her on the shoulder and whispered, "But, whatever happens, look away, okay"

She nodded. I sighed and got up, and was about to gently exit the room when I heard her call my name.

I turned around and returned to the bed, Yu Meng looked at me with tears in her eyes, her big eyes burning with pain. "Tong Xin, have you ever experienced the taste of loving someone?"

I shook my head a little stiffly, knowing the source of her pain.

"It's going to be maddening." Her face was infinitely sad, but there was a simple stubbornness on her face, "I'm crazy enough to die for him." ”

I had a cold war. "Don't do stupid things, no matter who the other party is, it's not worth your life"

A layer of helpless desolation floated on Yu Meng's face, she seemed so soft and lovely. "I'm just making a description, I'm not really stupid enough to die."

"Who are you in love with, why do you love so painfully" I know that Yu Meng has someone hidden in her heart, but last time she said that it was just a dream of hers, too far away from her to catch it. I thought she was just dreaming, as a kind of spiritual sustenance, but I didn't expect that her girlish heart had already been completely captured by the other party, and she was crazy about him.

"Don't ask, that's a mistake." Yu Meng looked disheartened.

Tears slid down the corners of my eyes, and I didn't know why I was crying, but there was a sudden desolation and panic and helplessness in my heart. Why love can make people so painful

Yu Meng refused to say anything, I comforted her for a while, and I had to leave. I gently closed the door and walked over to the guardrail in the hallway. What happened that night was too heavy, too unexpected, and too shocking for me, and I couldn't use my thoughts. Xiao Se's kiss, Yu Meng's tears, these two things are churning one after another in my heart.

There was a sound of footsteps behind me, and I turned back in a trance, it was Lan Jingyu who walked over, and her dormitory room was also on this floor. She was holding a shawl in her hand, much like the one that Xiao Se and I had just found and put back on the ground.
