Chapter 48: Intertwined destinies
The corridor was much livelier than Xiyue had imagined, with classrooms on the right and windows at intervals on the left. From time to time, two or three girls would stand in front of the window, talking and laughing, or discussing small issues about what to eat for lunch. Xiyue's footsteps moved rapidly, and occasionally a boy passing by her stared at this petite girl with a very cute face.
"I don't know which class of girls Lu Dao is, she looks so cute...."
"It's pretty cute, but it should be very young depending on the age!"
"Yo, it looks like a cute little friend!"
"Okay, don't make trouble, if we are heard, our image will be ruined."
Xiyue's ears drilled into the conversations of various boys from time to time, and her lovely face still did not carry any emotions, and her eyes stared coldly at the outer stairs of the corridor. The outer staircase of this campus is deliberately set in the shape of a large Z, and standing on the campus and looking up at the main building, the Z-shaped staircase is also a dazzling sight.
At different points on the Z-shaped staircase, there are also students who enjoy the time after class, chatting or laughing in twos and threes. Xiyue looked completely indifferent and indifferent, moving her feet, her figure at the bottom of the Z word, running quickly towards the sky.
When her figure came to the top of the Z-shape, a rare bright smile finally appeared on her face, and after a slight change of breath, Xiyue rhythmically exchanged her feet and came to the green grass on the top of the building. Just in front of her was a tall and thin boy figure, his hands lightly on the edge of the fence, his fluffy hair was scratched by the blowing breeze...
This tall and thin boy seems to have already regarded this place as his own territory, looking like a master, enjoying this time that belongs only to him.
Xiyue looked at the back and knew who the tall and thin boy was, and instead of turning away, he moved a few steps forward, suddenly stretched out his hand to the sky, and whispered: "Look! The sky gives people the feeling that they are always so lonely, so lonely, but always so comfortable. I'd love to know what it's thinking. ”
Hearing the female voice behind him, the tall and thin boy turned his head, and the boy was really the domineering tablemate Yao Liukai as Xi Yue imagined. The expression on his face was slightly stunned, as if he was only stunned for about a second, then stared straight at the sunset, moved his steps in her direction, and then said slowly: "In fact, the sky is not completely empty, because at least the sun and the moon are its hearts, and the sky is so gentle, it always shows people the warm heart of the sun, but it is lonely to collect all the sadness in the heart of the moon at night." ”
Hearing Yao Liukai's emotion, Xiyue didn't answer, but responded with a faint smile, but her steps moved a little closer in his direction. She was silent, continuing to listen to every word the boy in front of her said.
"Actually, I also know that I am like an empty existence, and no one pays attention to my actions at all. But even so, every time I look up at the sky, my heart miraculously becomes full and peaceful, perhaps just because the sky fills the void in my heart. It's really a subtle feeling, it's clear that there is an endless emptiness above my head, and I can't reach it at all, so I can only exist in an alternative way in the real world..."
While Yao Liukai said these words, he couldn't help but stretch out his left hand to the sky, and before his slender fingers had time to pause, he quickly withdrew it in an instant, to be precise, he was pulled back by his right hand with all his might, and then his hands were clasped together.
Probably realizing that his behavior was a little strange, he lowered his head and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and thought to himself: "Sure enough, only you can save yourself!" Thinking of Yao Liukai here, he suddenly asked Xiyue, who was already standing beside him at this time: "You are obviously so popular, why do you want to deliberately alienate everyone?" ”
Xiyue didn't answer Yao Liukai's question directly, just showed a complicated smile at him, and then raised his head, his gaze on the boundless void, and the sadness that flashed on his face disappeared. She was silent for a moment, her soft, sad voice murmuring.
"Because I am unknown, the people around me have suffered misfortune one by one, as if they have been cursed, and I can't escape this fate. Just as you advised me, I advise you to stay away from me as soon as possible, otherwise you who talk to me may soon be..."
"Not necessarily, because I don't feel anything different coming out of you. Moreover, my intuition is very sensitive, so you don't have to worry about me...."Yao Liukai, who heard Xiyue say this, interrupted her with a smile and told her his feelings without reservation.
Xiyue's story was shorter than Yao Liukai imagined, he originally thought that her story would be sad and long, but he didn't know if Xiyue's way of telling it was too concise, or if she didn't want to be too sad herself, in fact, the story ended hastily.
The white clouds in the sky slowly focused, until Yao Liukai slowly closed his eyes after listening to the story of the setting moon. There was no sympathy, no surprise, no sadness, as if he had expected this outcome, everything was calm and surprised Xiyue.
This is the first time someone reacts after listening to her story, and when Yao Liukai opens his eyes, Xiyue's face appears in front of him again with a vague hazy feeling. When Xiyue saw her confused appearance, she suddenly raised her hand slightly, shaking it in front of her, and between her open five fingers, Xiyue's face was cleverly divided into five parts, and then said to her with his faint words.
"Do you know the truth? From the first time I met you, I felt a very familiar aura from you! That feeling of emptiness and lightness is a feeling that is completely incompatible with the surrounding atmosphere! ”
"......" Xiyue's face was slightly sideways, deliberately avoiding the gap between Liukai's five fingers, turning around and walking in the direction of the fence, his hands lightly resting on the railing.
"Actually, I can't remember when it started, my parents kept arguing about me and then left me. I was adopted by my kind grandparents, but my grandmother contracted one illness after another, and the burden on my grandfather, who was busy at school, became heavier and heavier. After that, my friends around me also died and fell ill, as if I was the source of the plague, and everyone around me suffered misfortune one by one. ”
Xiyue didn't bother to interrupt him, and the figure with her back to him slowly turned back, the sun shining lightly on her petite figure. A golden halo shrouded her body, making Yao Liukai feel like a gold-plated doll, and for a while the words he wanted to continue saying were like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
Yao Liukai didn't know how to describe the feeling of the two looking at each other. It's as if there's an invisible mirror between the two, and the two are just reflections of each other. But Xiyue is indeed much more glamorous than her own decadent and embarrassed appearance, even if there is sadness in her eyes that cannot be lingered.
The clear blue sky and the clouds approaching in the direction of the setting moon couldn't help but remind Yao Liukai of the girls who flocked to him after class, and bowed his head self-deprecatingly and said, "It's really popular!" ”
