Qingdao in August is the best season, and the prosperity of this city will not be ridiculed because of anyone.

After being expelled from Bird Island, Yuge flew me back here, nestled in her room, and didn't go out all day.

She bought lots and lots of wine, drank bottle after bottle, and her mood was so bad that she silently looked out the window and at the sea without saying a word.

There are only frustrated people, and they are suddenly powerless.

"You don't drink any more! Feather Song! I couldn't take it anymore and snatched the glass from her hand.

She smiled drunkenly, not angry at all. "Come and have a drink with me."

"How can you look so decadent!"

"You know what?" She looked nonchalant. "I'm a free man now, neither a human nor a birdman, and no one can control me."

She picked up the guitar in the corner of the wall, didn't play it for a few days, it was already covered with dust, and her slender fingers touched the cold strings and began to sing.

"The sky and the autumn light, turn around the emotional injury, explore Jin Ying and know the near Chongyang."

The sound of wind chimes rang out again, echoing through the small room.

"The first time I tried thin clothes, the green ants tasted new, and gradually there was a wind, a rain, and a cool."

It's just that this time I don't know if it's because of tiredness, or because of sadness or alcohol paralysis, her voice is much hoarse. The poem "Sky and Autumn Light" was sung by her extremely desolate.

"The courtyard at dusk is sad and panicked, and the past is sad when I wake up."

said that she didn't care at all, but she suddenly convulsed, and tears flowed down the contours of her face.

I want to ask her, why do you do this?

Why can't you cry out loud if you want to cry?

"That eternal night, the bright moon is empty......"

She still couldn't sing, she couldn't cry, and her guitar fell to the ground and cracked.

I hugged her softly, her soft body trembling, her head resting on my shoulder, hot tears soaking my shirt.

"Why do they all hate me so much...... Is it because I'm an illegitimate daughter? ”

"Why did she never approve of me? What exactly am I doing wrong? ”

I didn't answer her, and she was talking to herself, like crazy, hysterical.

"Willow Spring...... "She called my name suddenly." You used to say you liked me. ”

"Yes, I did." I replied softly. "It's all the truth."

"What about you...... Would you like to take me away now? My mother and sister don't want me anymore, and I only know you in the human world. She choked up.

I shook my head ruthlessly. "I'm sorry, no."

She looked up at me with teary eyes, and in those eyes I saw the bottomless despair.

"It turns out that it's all a lie, and it turns out that human beings really can't believe it." She pushed me away hard. "Hurry up and go, before I kill you."

"Yuge I said no, it doesn't mean that what I said before was a lie, but there is a more important reason, you can't leave now no matter what, we have to go back." I hugged her tightly and didn't dare let go for a moment.

"Why?"

"Because this incident started because of my friend, if it weren't for the fact that I begged you to help save my friend, you wouldn't have taken us to Bird Island, and you wouldn't have made a big mistake." I breathed a sigh of relief. "I should do my part for Torishima."

Yu Ge became even more angry when she heard this, and she picked up the wine glass again and drank it. "Idiot! You're ridiculous. ”

The bubble of affection burst at the touch, and the frothy wine reflected her haggard face, and at this moment she seemed to drink not only the wine, but also the last trace of her attachment to her hometown. "They don't want me, they even want to kill me, why should I go back?"

"Because your mother doesn't love you, she loves you to the fullest." I said in a sonorous voice. "You just can't realize it yourself."

Yu Ge looked at me with a mocking look and poured another glass of wine into his glass. "Hmph, you're really good to be bought, just because she saved your friend, you speak for her everywhere."

"You're really stupid and too headstrong." I snatched her glass again and pushed it to the other end of the table.

She smiled wryly, and smiled very pompously. "Didn't you hear what she said to me in the lobby? She ordered me to get you out of Bird Island, and you know what? It's because I'm an illegitimate daughter, I've never been looked at seriously, everyone on the island except my sister looks at me with the most disgusting eyes, but I put up with it, the only thing I can't accept is that my own biological mother is like this, no matter what I do is wrong, I will be blamed, and even say ......" The more she talked, the more angry she became, and even gritted her teeth. "Even she...... She never smiled at me. ”

"But that's not what I saw." I immediately retorted to her. "And love isn't just about a smile."

Yuge was taken aback by my sudden words, perhaps she thought I would comfort her. "You...... What exactly do you want to say? ”

One of the scary things about life is that when you listen to someone's story, you will recall the story that you have forgotten for a long time.

"You know what? As a child without a family, how envious I am that you have a mother who has been pushing you? "Speaking of which, my own heart also cooled." When I was very young, my dad died, you know? When I came home happily that day with my report card, I found that my father was suddenly gone......"

"Willow Spring ......" Yu Ge saw me like this, and the excitement he had just felt slowly eased.

"Later, my mother remarried, and that stepfather didn't like me very much, so I didn't go home almost once during college, I don't know if my mother really didn't want to talk to me, or if that stepfather didn't allow it, and since then, she has never called me......" As I spoke, my own voice was a little choked." Until today. ”

Yu Ge froze, not knowing what to say, just kept stroking my arm with her hand.

"I don't know if you birdmen have the same feelings as humans, but I'm sure you can understand."

I've never told my story to anyone, and I've vowed never to tell these things out of my mind, but what happened to Yuge today makes me feel unhappy.

"I've long been used to this kind of life, and I'm happy to live, but I'm sure my life would be happier if they were still talking, and I longed for someone to keep scolding me, because I knew it was for my good, but I didn't ......" I smirked twice and pinched her cheek involuntarily. So you know how happy you are. ”

"Liu Quan, I sympathize with you. But I don't know where she loves me......" Yu Ge whispered.

"You...... Why don't you understand? At this moment, she felt pitiful and angry.

She looked me dumbly in the eye, waiting for me to explain it to her.

"Let me ask you, why didn't your mother send someone else to Qingdao to investigate?"

"Because she wanted to torture me."

"Why did she drive you out of Bird Island when she learned that the Fish-People were going to invade with a large army?"

"Because she thinks it was my mistake that caused the fish-people to find the location of Bird Island faster."

Yu Ge's answer really made me cry and laugh.

"Yuge, if my mother wanted to torture you, I should have killed you as soon as you were born, I shouldn't have taught you spells, and now that the fish-man army is coming, I should let you take the lead instead of driving you out of Bird Island." Thinking of her wayward appearance, her voice unconsciously became a little heavier.

Her eyes widened as if she had thought of something.

"She sent you to Qingdao nominally to investigate, but in fact, she hoped that one day the fish-man would suddenly attack and you would happen to escape! She didn't protect anyone on the entire Bird Island, the only one she protected was you. ”

My words seemed to sting her deeply, and she covered her ears and shook her head desperately. "Don't say it anymore......"

I hugged her hard. I know that the pain of awakening is the most unforgettable. The most regrettable thing in life is not that someone doesn't like you, but that someone has always liked you, but you never see it.

Yu Ge cried again, this time crying more painfully than before, crying until the fragrance disappeared, crying until the mountains and rivers were broken, crying until he could no longer shed tears, crying until he could no longer make a sound.

People are far away from tears, and Yan Feichun is crippled.

"Do you still think we shouldn't go back?" I asked her sharply.

She looked like she had lost her soul, her eyes were hollow, as if she couldn't hear what I said.

"Now that the Fish-People are definitely on their way to Bird Island, there's only one way we can save them." I said calmly.

Yu Ge came back to his senses suddenly. "What ......"

I turned my gaze to the ancient books on her desk.
