Chapter 2 Star City, Silhouette, Flower Rain Pavilion

Dusk, Star City Railway Station.

Yin Tingxi wore headphones and pulled the suitcase behind him to pour out of the platform with the bustling crowd. Lift the brim of your cap, turn off the upbeat English song in your headphones, and start looking for a hotel on the map.

The appearance of Star City is indeed different from the European style city where she lived before. The city's European-style architecture is ornate and exquisite, with a tall bell tower standing in the middle of the central square, carved patterns and Roman numerals on the clock face that have been washed spotlessly by the rain over time. And the Star City can be said to be a pavilion of the water pavilion, the charm of the ancient style, the half-hidden hollow wooden window, open is a burst of fragrance of flower tea.

Yin Tingxiding's hotel is not far from the platform. Small shops, two-storey pavilions with black tiles and blue bricks, built on the waterfront. In Bluestone Lane, where people come and go, there are also coffee shops with open doors.

She remembered the last person she saw before leaving, Yun Qi. Somehow, she was very impressed by his ordinary coffee shop, as if tasting coffee last night was a gorgeous dream with a little sweetness, and in the dream, she met Yun Qi and saw the shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.

The room she stayed in was called "Flower Rain Pavilion". The innkeeper was a kind woman, dressed in a long flowing dress, with a gentle face and a soft smile.

She took Yin Tingxi to visit the backyard of the room, pointing out the window to a small forest, each tree was full of tiny flowers, and the pure white petals seeped a little light powder, quiet and elegant. "Every time in the depths of winter, the flowers on that forest fall all over the ground, which is very beautiful," she said. Hence the name 'Flower Rain Pavilion'. ”

Yin Tingxi nodded as if she didn't understand, her eyes swept over the flowering woods, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking by, just for a moment, that person's delicate side face was clearly captured by her.

She immediately turned around, trying to follow the casual afterglow just now to find the person, but a touch of white clothes flashed by and disappeared around the corner of the hallway. She leaned out a little unwillingly, and her curious gaze fell on a pot of lush bamboo around the corner, and the light fell to the ground through the gaps in the small bamboo leaves, and the shadow of the person was nowhere to be seen.

"Girl, what are you looking for?" The shopkeeper asked when he saw that she had been looking around for a long time, as if she was looking for something.

"Me? It's okay, I'm just curious about the name of the room over there. Yin Tingxi turned around suddenly, and the light of the afterglow outside the window fell a little light, dyeing a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, like the flowers blooming in the grove outside the backyard, and the faint fragrance was pervasive, all of which were cold but very moving.

"That room...... the shopkeeper recalled, but he only found sporadic fragments in his memory, "That room, called 'Dream Star City', is separated by a long corridor from here." I don't usually go there, but the cleaning helpers come and go a lot. ”

"Oh......" Yin Tingxi said, his eyes still unconsciously turned to the corner of the corridor, and he only heard the shopkeeper say to her with a warm smile: "Girl, our restaurant is on the south side of the first floor 'Wenqin Yin', dinner time is approaching, you can come down and taste the famous pastries of our Star City after a short rest." ”

"Okay." She nodded, blinking childishly.

…… It seems that there are new guests again.

The room smelled of iodine. He rolled up his sleeves, and a striking scar on his arm was in the shape of a sharp blade, shining with a cold light like silver frost, but it was a shocking blood red. He slowly wiped the wound with gauze dipped in iodine wine, a expressionless face, delicate in the light blue oppressive dim light of the room, like a brush outlining a touch of elegant ink, soft lines along the eyelashes dancing all the way down, depicting a picturesque profile.

He looked up slightly, staring at the bright light projected outside the dark curtains, his eyes narrow.

He had wondered more than once if the Dream Clan had emotions to speak of. A person's life and death only need to simply manipulate the position of a few stars, and watch one person after another fall into the abyss of death without any waves in his heart, even if that person is the same dream clan as himself. When he reminisced about the past, he felt that he was like a puppet of the Dream Clan, being controlled, learning from those adults to make his heart gradually become as cold and merciless as the frost and snow that had been frozen all year round in the DreamClan's forbidden land.

According to the adults, the Dream Clan who broke the taboo were buried in the Polar Valley.

He sneered and slowly stretched out his right hand, and on his inner wrist, the six-pointed star pattern had dimmed and almost completely disappeared.

He smiled with relief, and his hand hanging in the air drooped little by little.

That's fine. He lowered his eyes. Since then, he has nothing to do with the Dream Clan, and living a mortal life like this can be regarded as peaceful. In the early spring, the birds watched the children laughing and flying kites outside, and after the temperature gradually rose, the sun sprinkled down ragingly and spread all the way to the palms, and the maple leaves burned into a fiery red, and when the white flowers in the woods north of the inn bloomed quietly, and after the snow, the petals fell, and I remembered the same flower rain that I had seen in the Dream Clan.

In the mortal world, watching the four seasons change, people come and go, living simply, and there is no need to be bothered by the trajectory of the stars in the sky. He thought that being in the mortal world like this could be regarded as a relief.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door, which drew his thoughts back. He froze, hiding the frightening scar with his sleeve, then got up and opened the door, greeted by the warm smiles of the staff.

"Guest, you have been staying at our hotel for a few days, it is dinner time, please go to the 'Wenqin Yin' on the first floor to dine in a few moments."

"yes, I see." He smiled indifferently back, his voice a little weak, but it had no effect on the ethereal timbre.

"Then, please get ready, I'll take my leave first." The staff bent slightly with excellent quality, and the sound of the door closing gently made the room quiet instantly, just like the trajectory of the stars in the sky suddenly cracked a gap, and time passed rapidly from the gap, looking back, ten years have passed.

Decade...... Oh, in the Dream Clan, it will be the same for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years. It's just that how cold does a heart have to be to see thousands of painful partings without feeling?

Anyway, these ...... It's all about yourself, what are you going to think about? Now, his once proud spiritual power had long since been abolished, and he was already a mortal, just like the new girl he had seen in the hallway from afar a few minutes ago.

By the way, that girl is the new guest of the inn......

Inadvertently, a small smile bloomed on his lips, and he leaned against the wall and looked at the pure white door, the focus of his vision gradually blurring, like a hazy morning mist.

What will that girl's star trajectory look like?

……

☆☆☆

"Wenqinyin" is a small restaurant, and there are various furnishings on the wooden shelves on the wall, which reminds Yin Tingxi of Yunqi's coffee shop again.

It's just that the sound of the piano is not as quiet as the coffee shop, she is the only customer, there is a lively conversation everywhere, and the melody of the piano music in the air surrounds the aroma of pastries, hence the name of the restaurant.

Yin Tianxi sat alone on the sofa in the corner, the light was shining overhead, taking a sip of juice, and suddenly noticed that almost all the girls in the restaurant were looking at one place, and the voice of the whispered conversation was shy and excited.

Looking at handsome guys? She frowned and muttered quietly. Following everyone's line of sight, a boy sat quietly by the wall, his expression indifferent, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. Just saw it clearly for a moment, and Yin Tingxi was blocked by the guests in the seat in front of her.

Driven by curiosity, in desperation, she took out her mobile phone to turn on the camera system, zoomed in on the picture, and the moment she pressed the shutter, her hand suddenly trembled.

Under the clear lens, it can be seen that the boy's dark brown coat is open, revealing a neat white shirt. The same palpitating side face and blouse instantly matched the figure that had been accidentally glimpsed in the hallway earlier.

It turned out to be this boy. Yin Tianxi put down his phone. The guest who lived in the mysterious "Dream Star City" turned out to be a boy a little older than her, and his side face was indeed amazing and speechless. That kind of indifferent temperament, like the sword eyebrows and starry eyes of the prince in ancient times.

The boy didn't seem to be very close...... Yin Tianxi glanced at him a few times, and the initial curiosity gradually faded. The reminder of the mobile phone message suddenly sounded, and a message was displayed on the screen: Please come to the auditorium of Phantom Star Music School at 7 a.m. tomorrow for the entrance ceremony.

I almost forgot, school starts tomorrow. The corners of Yin Tianxi's mouth unconsciously hooked. The music school's relaxed curriculum is simply exclusive to her who loves freedom. But...... Tomorrow's entrance ceremony seems to be a lot of fun. Then sacrifice a little sleep time and rush to school for the ceremony.
