Chapter 12: The Dusty Rooftop

Sekwang High School

Three classes in two years

After the lunch break, there is always a trace of silence and exhaustion, the sun shines through the transparent glass, sprinkled on the tables and chairs, birds chirp outside the window from time to time, and the teacher keeps writing strange symbols of the other world on the blackboard with a pen, and I don't know what he is talking about......

"Okay, then let's have a group discussion, the students in the front row can turn around and automatically form a group with the students in the back row, okay, let's get started."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of rustling gradually sounded, and the quiet classroom slowly became lively, and the sound of conversation and laughter was endless.

Luo Xichen finished writing the last word in the notebook, closed the notebook and leaned back, thinking that the person behind him did not move at all, and it was estimated that he was still helpless during the lunch break.

"Hey, I said Lu Zi'an, shouldn't you wake up too, the teacher was talking ...... just now"

Luo Xichen put down the book and turned to look at Lu Zi'an's position, only to find that the seat that was supposed to be lying on someone's stomach was empty at the moment......

“……”

Luo Xichen looked at Lu Zi'an's empty seat and blinked, his eyes were very surprised......

Can anyone tell me......

When did this guy disappear???

……

Behind the woolen glass door at the end of the corridor of the three-story school building, an empty extended balcony is lined with various greenery and a few benches.

At the nearest place to the stone railing, a young man with slender legs and soft yellow-brown hair lay comfortably on the bench in the most spacious place, his right hand resting on his forehead, his eyes slightly closed, and he slept like a child.

The sun shone on the wide balcony, casting patches of shadows, but it did not cover his body, and the hair scattered on his forehead shone a little broken golden light in the sunlight, warm and comfortable......

The boy seemed to be enjoying this moment of tranquility and the dazzling comfort of the sun, but suddenly he noticed that someone was standing in front of him, blocking the dazzling sunlight projected on his face......

The young man was a little displeased, frowned slightly, and was about to speak a little impatiently, but heard a voice coming from the top......

"Hey, I said this classmate, you are really living a comfortable life...... Like an old grandfather...... It's not about what to eat every day...... It's just taking a nap in the sun...... I'm so envious ......."

Lu Zi'an knew who was coming even if he closed his eyes, because the guys who dared to come to his territory to disturb their sleep before didn't know where they had died......

Lu Zi'an adapted to the light for a few seconds before slowly opening his eyes, and what was imprinted in front of him was a figure standing against the light.

The sunlight gilded her body with a golden halo, and the face looked too dreamy, as if she would wake up in the next second, and find that all this was just a dream......

"School?" Lu Zi'an put his hands behind his head and opened his misty sleepy eyes, like an innocent child.

"Not really." Luo Xichen shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands out.

"That'...... Did you come to me specifically? Lu Zi'an got up and sat up, and grinned at Luo Xichen with a big smile, the sun was dazzling, and the young man's smile was even more dazzling.

That's right, it's dazzling, I don't know why, whenever this four-dimensional teenager who has known each other for a short time grins like a joke, she always feels that this smile is very unreal and dazzling......

"Not really." Luo Xichen put his hands around his arms and looked at the big boy in front of him condescendingly.

"I'm here to find my partner, just now in class, the teacher said that it should be automatically formed before and after, and other people's tasks are almost completed, but my partner doesn't know where to go for recreation, no way, so I have to look for it~" Luo Xichen's eyes looked at the big boy in front of him casually but pointedly, and his tone was full of indifference, as if she really didn't care about just looking for it.

"What is a partner?" Lu Zi'an folded his hands behind his head again and lay back, and said casually without paying attention to it at all.

He didn't mean the intuitive meaning of the word partner, but as if he was asking what the hell this thing was.

"Who knows...... Literally, it probably means that a thing is divided into different parts, and then everyone does their own different parts, and finally integrates into a whole, these people are called each other's partners......" Luo Xichen actually explained what he meant. (Author os: How do I feel like I'm speaking English words ahahaha also drunk)

"But then ...... Why are you sleeping here? Don't all the adolescent rebellious teenagers in it like to go to the rooftop? Luo Xichen asked, pointing upwards.

Lu Zi'an looked in the direction Luo Xichen pointed, and it turned out that above this extended balcony, he could just see the rooftop at the top of this glorious teaching building.

"Also, I also think that a place like the rooftop is more able to set off my cold and arrogant temperament." Lu Zi'an raised his head and looked at the rooftop above for no reason, and nodded to himself.

"But what...... I still like it here, maverick is my real temperament......" he said, and then turned his gaze back to lie back, closed his eyes, and continued his unfinished mission.

Lu Zi'an's reaction seemed strange, but it was normal to think of this person's personality and not have a match, but for some reason, Luo Xichen stopped his gaze on the rooftop above, obviously only seeing one edge, but it seemed to have a magnet firmly attracting her attention, his eyes seemed indifferent but not, I don't know what she was thinking......

———

Always living on the rooftop of the legendary rooftop, there are often all kinds of stories that are talked about, or love or friendship belonging to youth, and it is also a place where adolescent rebellious teenagers often appear.

But I don't know why, the rooftop of the glorious main teaching building of Shiguang High School seems to have been abandoned by the world, no one mentions it, and no one cares about it......

Heavy locks hung from the old-fashioned composite doors, and the dust and rust around them were out of place, and on this day, as had been every day for the past few years, the sunset had sunset, and the sunset had stained every corner of the rooftop, and the magnificent and beautiful scenery was unappreciated, leaving only an inexplicable bleakness......

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps on the stairs leading to the rooftop, and a long, fair-skinned hand picked up the old lock, moved it casually, and had to put it down.

Luo Xichen stood in front of the door, looking at the lock that blocked the world behind the door, and then raised his eyes to look at the fence skylight on the door, and sighed.

It seems that it is impossible to enter today......

"What are you doing?" However, just as she was about to turn away, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears, accompanied by a warm exhalation sprayed above her head, scaring her into a stagger, bang! He turned around and slammed into the door behind him......

Looking at the enlarged handsome face in front of him, Luo Xichen was stunned for a moment, and then he was angry......

The person who suddenly appeared was not who Lu Zi'an was???

"Why are you so obsessed with this broken place......" Lu Zi'an propped up the iron door beside Luo Xichen with one hand, looked nearby and said to himself.

"Or ......" Lu Zi'an withdrew his gaze, stared at Luo Xichen in front of him like a trapped little beast, and slowly leaned closer.

"What's the secret ......?"

The cynical handsome face magnified little by little in front of Luo Xichen's eyes, and the anger just now turned into unknown tension in an instant, and the atmosphere between the two became more and more weird, and as the distance got closer and closer, even the sound of the accelerating heart fluttering and fluttering could be heard.

Seeing that the originally proud and annoyed kitten in his arms suddenly became helpless, Lu Zi'an pursed his lips unconsciously, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he turned his head slightly and laughed.

"Hey!" Luo Xichen, who realized that he had been tricked, pushed Lu Zi'an away, was speechless angrily, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Oops!! Am I wrong...... I just happened to see you going in this direction, and I followed. Lu Zi'an hurriedly grabbed Luo Xichen, who was leaving in a negative mood, and admitted his mistake with a big smile.

"But your expression just now is really funny...... but I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, I actually said and put my fist to my lips and smiled unconsciously......

Seeing Luo Xichen's gradually cold face, Lu Zi'an hurriedly took a serious look and coughed lightly, trying to change the topic.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Lu Zi'an looked at Luo Xichen and said mysteriously, tilting his head to the door behind him.

"You have the key?" Luo Xichen, who was about to leave, suddenly heard this, turned his head and looked at Lu Zi'an in surprise.

"Nope." Lu Zi'an learned from Luo Xichen's appearance before, and he spread his hands indifferently.

"Are you really ......" Luo Xichen looked at him speechlessly, believing what this guy said, she had a problem herself, okay?

But in the next second, he saw a big hand stretched out in front of him......

"What are you going to do?" Luo Xichen opened his mouth angrily.

Lu Zi'an hooked his hand at her, and motioned with his eyes for her to look in the direction of the lower left corner......

"Hey!! Lu Zi'an!! Do you want to die??? Luo Xichen was really annoyed now, and yelled at Lu Zi'an.

Because following Lu Zi'an's line of sight, the destination turned out to be ......

She thought he was just joking, but she didn't expect this guy to be a pervert!!

"What do you want? I mean, give me the nameplate...... Don't you want to go up and have a look? Lu Zi'an had no choice but to explain.

"You'd better be telling the truth!" Luo Xichen said angrily as he untied the nameplate on his chest and handed it to him.

"Look at it, don't blink." Lu Zi'an took the nameplate and looked at Luo Xichen, the corners of his mouth rose, and a confident smile was aroused.

I saw him press the pin behind the nameplate, then straighten the part of the needle, pick up the lock with his left hand, poke the lock with the needle with his right hand, and turn it tentatively a few times......

Then there was a click......

The old dusty lock was ......

Lift...... Open...... Finish......

The old iron door creaked open slowly, bringing the sunshine of dusk......

I don't know if it's because Lu Zi'an's lock-picking skills are too magical, or for some other reason, the moment the door opened, Luo Xichen was stunned like that.

Lu Zi'an pushed open the half-open and half-hidden iron door, and was about to go up but found Luo Xichen in a daze.

"What are you doing? Come in. ”

……

Empty rooftops, knee-high cement and stone edges, and debris piled up in the corners......

It is like an old underground warehouse, which has accumulated dust for a long time, and there is no treasure that children yearn for......

Luo Xichen looked around at everything around him, and after turning around, he didn't find anything worth discovering, so he slowly walked to the edge of the stone, and casually tapped the edge of the stone with his white fingertips......

"Do you say, if a person dies, will he go to heaven or hell......

A calm but slightly sad voice sounded slowly, Luo Xichen looked at the source of the sound in surprise, but found that he didn't know when, Lu Zi'an actually stood on the edge of the stone with his back to the ground!!

"Hey!! What are you doing??? Come down!! Luo Xichen exclaimed.

"I heard...... People who commit suicide...... After you die, you will go to hell......" Lu Zi'an didn't seem to hear it, and still said to himself.

"Yes...... The kind of selfish person who thinks that death can lead to liberation...... You really shouldn't go to such a beautiful place as heaven......" The corners of Lu Zi'an's mouth rose slightly, but he was not as joking as usual, but with a hint of frightening sneer.

"Hey! Lu Zi'an! Are you going crazy right now? Luo Xichen stopped not far from Lu Zi'an, looked up at his back, and asked coldly but with a hint of anger.

"Yes, yes, I'm crazy...... I must be crazy...... I would have hoped that that kind of selfish guy could go to the paradise he wanted to reach......" Lu Zi'an smiled bitterly.

Somehow, there is a deep sadness around this sunny boy who usually only knows cynicism......

Luo Xichen looked at the lonely and self-deprecating back of the elongated young man in the sunset, all the words were stuck in his throat, just waiting quietly and standing in place, silent.

She couldn't answer Lu Zi'an's question, whether people will go to heaven or hell after death has nothing to do with the living, only he can give him this answer......

However, in this world, there is a kind of person who is called handsome for only three seconds.

There is also a kind of person who can be serious any moment when you think he is joking, and likewise, any time you think he is serious, he may really be just joking......

For example, the ...... in front of you

"Hey! You're not ready to come down yet? Luo Xichen raised his chin with his hands around his arms, a picture of you want to jump quickly, if you don't jump girl, I will go home, who has the kung fu to play this kind of role-playing game with you.

"But I've heard...... There have really been people dead here before......" Lu Zi'an shrugged, jumped down from the stone edge and clapped his hands, as if he didn't know the person just now.

"Do you know why?" Luo Xichen asked.

"Who knows...... It was said that he had a mental problem, and then he jumped off......" Lu Zian shrugged, as if he was saying that it didn't matter what he had for dinner today.

Because Luo Xichen didn't intend to ask anything in his mouth, he didn't notice his fleeting expression when he said the latter sentence......

As the heavy iron door is pushed open, whether it symbolizes those heavy past events will also be uncovered page by page, just like the rooftop that will one day be stepped on......

All this, for the teenagers in the mood for love.

What awaits them is the light and warmth that shines into the world through the dusty rooftop......

Or deep scratches......

It's not known yet......

But no matter what, the road ahead will be thorns or flowers.

Teenagers must go on without hesitation......

Because, on this road, there is the fate of all people, and the future......
