His left hand was holding Natsumi at first, and as he jumped, he somehow became Natsumi holding him.

"Why don't you tighten it?" Natsumi turned around and asked. This is asking Chu Zihang why he didn't hold her waist tightly, he had always been in a state of false arms before, and he didn't really hold her waist.

“…… I don't think it's good. Chu Zihang said with difficulty.

"What's not so good about that?" Xia Mi said, reaching behind him and pressing down Chu Zihang's forearm.

His forearm froze the moment it touched the girl's soft waist, and he always felt that there was nowhere to put it, and he couldn't stand it if he held it, and he would blame him if he didn't hold it.

The girl suddenly snorted,

"Senior brother, you stepped on my foot."

"I'm sorry." Chu Zihang was breathing heavily, too close, really too close, he had never been so close to Xia Mi, and the girl's face was only less than fifteen centimeters away from him.

The smell of the sun after the rain mixed with the smell of grass and earth, hitting his face, and the scent of gardenia, which seemed to be her usual perfume, or not perfume, but the girl was born with such a scent, a fragrance that connected all the bits and pieces of it to her for six years.

"Why don't I practice again." Chu Zihang's eyes drooped.

"No, you can just follow my pace." Natsumi tilted her head and smiled. She danced with Chu Zihang, he gradually kept up with the girl's pace, and then became more and more familiar, Chu Zihang had an illusion, as if the memory of him dancing with the girl was engraved in his bones, all the movements seemed to be engraved in his mind, how to put his arms, how to walk under his feet, there was no need to think at all, as long as he relaxed and followed the instructions of the head of the Shilan Middle School Dance Troupe.

"Oooh! Brother danced so well! Lu Mingfei applauded on the side. Chu Zihang raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Lu Mingfei, who was looking at Chu Zihang and Xia Mi with a heartfelt smile.

"Look at me." Xia Mi was dissatisfied,

"Don't stare at others when you dance." In fact, Chu Zihang was just not used to looking at Xia Mi at such a close distance, and he heard that this would produce an impulse, an impulse that made people want to fall in love.

"I remember you used to like to wear a ponytail high, too." He tried to find something to talk about and make the atmosphere less awkward,

"When I was at Shilan." He began to recall that when Natsumi was cheering on the basketball game he had with a foreign school, she wore a high ponytail and makeup with sparkling small sequins on her eyelids, and her eyes were so bright that they drowned out the reflection of the sequins.

"Hmm." Xia Mi replied, reached out to the back of his head, untied the long ponytail, and his chestnut hair flew, as if to block Chu Zihang's sight,

"But I don't want to pierce it now."

"Why?" Chu Zihang moved his dry throat.

"I've heard that it's more attractive to have your hair spread out." The corners of Xia Mi's mouth were raised, and the corners of her eyes were raised, and the brown children's holes were brighter than ever before under the brilliant lights of the dance hall.

"That's right, senior brother." She took Chu Zihang's hand and walked around the top of her head, and turned around with a beautiful and incomparable appearance,

"Have you ever heard a saying?"

"What to say." Chu Zihang asked.

"There is a gravitational pull between people." Xia Mi leaned back,

"Hold me." Chu Zihang hurriedly supported her slender waist, and Xia Mi's hair swept to his face with her movements, tickling.

"Gravity?" He said.

"It's like two destined people will definitely meet." Natsumi squinted and smiled, like a cunning little fox,

"And both of them will feel it in their hearts." When Chu Zihang heard this, he felt it, did his heartbeat speed increase?

His heart was beating fast right now.

"Haven't heard of it." He whispered,

"I've only heard one other saying, that there are 20,000 people in the world that you will fall in love with as soon as you see them."

"And who's your twenty-thousandth one?" Natsumi asked, his left hand interlaced with the ten fingers of his right hand, and another impeccable turn.

Who is it? Chu Zihang was silent, the answer to this question may not even know to him, there are too few girls he has met, only a handful, and those girls who admire him are just looking at him from a distance and will not have any intersection with him.

Looking back now, every girl who impressed him seemed to be Xia Mi, and I don't know how she had so many identities, the head of the dance troupe, the leader of the cheerleading team...... But time can't give him too much to think about, and the dance music of "One Step Away" has reached the end.

Xia Mi sighed faintly, and her voice sank,

"The music is about to end, you have to hold me, senior brother......" She held down Chu Zihang's palm and began to spin, Lu Mingfei looked at this scene and felt so familiar?

This is how it ended when Zero danced with him in the previous life, and this is how it ended when Nuo Nuo danced with him in this life, and when it came to Xia Mi and Chu Zihang, it was still the same.

Could it be that all the people in the world who dance "One Step Away" end like this? Xia Mi closed his eyes, and did not meet Chu Zihang's gaze in the rotating gap, there was a surging sense of alienation, he originally thought that she would look at ...... with him.

Chu Zihang always felt that the girl seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and the aftermath of the dance music in his ears was getting farther and farther away, as if everything in this world was getting farther and farther away from him.

He suddenly had a delusion, as if this girl, who had been sticking to him since he met, was about to leave him...... What does that feel like?

A few images suddenly popped up in his mind, and he was the only one sitting in the empty aquarium, holding a hamburger in his hand, munching mechanically, watching the beluga whale slowly swim past him.

Or the old neighborhood, hidden behind the tall buildings, where there are still plane trees, the leaves of which have fallen and the dead branches have cut the dark sunlight into pieces.

Huge floor-to-ceiling windows, outside which a huge sunset is falling. The dark sunlight cast shadows on the floor like black cages, and the metal window frames were badly corroded, and several pieces of glass shattered, and the evening breeze poured in and roamed around the room.

As for him, he lay down in a bed, and the setting sun took away the last rays, and the night covered him like a curtain.

He knew very well that when he woke up this time, he would not see the angel in the sunshine bowing his head as if to kiss him on the lips.

There is also a cinema, like a private cinema, where he watches "Once" over and over again, the encounter between the flower girl and the wandering singer, and then the parting, and the two are only the words that the girl said in Czech that the singer did not understand.

"I love you...... Chu Zihang actually dreamed over and over again last night, not the night when the rain fell wildly, but a very strange place.

In his dream, he seemed to be in the water town south of the Yangtze River, he rowed a small boat down the river, the peach blossoms on both sides of the river were hidden in the mist, and the sound of birds chirping in the middle of nowhere followed him.

An arched bridge appeared in front of her, and the girl with an umbrella stood on it, her body infected with the mist. He rode leisurely through the hole in the bridge, and at that moment he looked up and looked at the girl on the bridge, and he could not see her face through the fog.

However, the boat drifted away, and the world behind it gradually disappeared into the vast fog. There is no moral to this kind of dream, he knows who the girl on the bridge is, but he does not know what the encounter in the dream represents.

The bridge and the river cross into a cross, and the two of you will only meet once on the road of life, and you don't see her face clearly, and she doesn't jump off the bridge to land on your boat.

I suddenly remembered that I had read a comic called "Zi Bu Yu" before, and the author wrote such a sentence in it, saying: "Missed, not wrong, but passed." But he didn't want to miss it, at the moment when the girl's last spin was about to end, Chu Zihang pulled her back, and the girl was quietly pressed against his chest, and the corners of her mouth raised a wicked smile,

"Senior brother, your heart is beating so fast, eh...... is it really fast?" No matter, hurry up, it doesn't matter, there is only one thought left in his mind at this time, I hope this girl will not leave him like just now.

"Missed, not wrong, but passed." It's over, no matter what it is, it's always the most uncomfortable, it sounds like you have a way to keep it, but you're just over, very helpless.

So what's the solution? It's your own choice, isn't it? No matter how much you regret it afterwards, you can't help it.

Applause, silent and powerful applause, Caesar was the first to applaud, followed by Lu Mingfei, Nono, Fingal...... Even Zero applauded the not-so-perfect dance.

Chu Zihang came back to his senses and found that everyone had made way for them to make a large slot.

"Very good, Chu Zihang, I admit that your dancing talent is also very strong." Caesar smiled.

"Senior brother is very strong." Lu Mingfei said.

"Senior Brother Chu! Live up to my high expectations! Fingal shook his fist. Nuo Nuo didn't speak, and winked at Xia Mi in Chu Zihang's arms.

"Hey, it's not too early, it's time to go back." Lu Mingfei patted his head, pulled Nono and Fingal and left, and gave Caesar, the second middle school patient who was standing in place applauding and pretending to be forced, a crazy look.

As for Zero, she applauded and went outside to wait. Caesar, the second middle school patient, didn't react, and was still applauding and pretending, Lu Mingfei hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the boss out of the door.

"What for?" Caesar frowned.

"Boss! A little bit of eyesight! "Lu Mingfei is going crazy,

"Don't you see that the two people inside are in deep love?"

"......" Caesar was a little aggrieved and was pulled away by Lu Mingfei.

"Hey, it's so unjust." Xia Mi pursed his lips, the hall that was full half a minute ago was empty at this time, and Lu Mingfei also took the door intimately.

Chu Zihang's face froze, and he didn't react.

"Senior brother? What happened to you? Natsumi looked up at him curiously.

"It's too close...... Xia Mi's whole body was attached to Chu Zihang's chest, and her arms were full of the soft touch of the girl's body.

Xia Mi's face flushed, and he withdrew from Chu Zihang's arms, keeping his distance, but it was still much closer than before.

"Are you going back to the dormitory?" She said in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"Well, it's really not early." Chu Zihang finally calmed down his heartbeat.

"Then wait until I change my clothes." Natsumi tied her long hair back into a high ponytail and walked to the locker room.

"Xia Mi......" Chu Zihang called her.

"What's wrong?" The girl smiled back, and was flung up with her high ponytail. The smile is so beautiful, peerless, glorious, with a little baby fat on the perfect cheeks, and the little tiger teeth at the corners of the mouth are exposed.

"I'll take you back to your dorm later." Chu Zihang said. Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily,

"Hmm!" ………… The girl walked in front of him with her hands behind her back, Chu Zihang looked up, this midsummer seemed to be coming to an end, and the leaves above his head were slowly turning a little yellow.

I miss a little nostalgic for the time when he and Natsumi first arrived in Kassel, when the leaves above his head were still pitch black and rustling in the wind, and now, the wind always takes away a few leaves.

Chu Zihang had a vague feeling in his heart that everything would come to an end at the end of this summer, and the ending would either be better or ...... Worse.

"I had a dream last night." He whispered.

"What kind of dream is it?" Natsumi turned around and walked backwards and asked curiously.

"I dreamed that I was floating by in a small boat, and you stood on the bridge with a paper umbrella and stopped, and the fog blocked the whole world."

"Hmm," Natsumi raised her chin,

"It must be a beautiful picture."

"Will you jump?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked,

"Jump on my boat." Xia Mi's brisk footsteps slowly stopped, she looked at Chu Zihang,

"Why do you ask?"

"It's just an illusion." Chu Zihang lowered his eyes again, and the dazzling golden boy no longer exuded brilliance,

"Because in that dream, you didn't jump off until the end, you just looked at me."

"......" Natsumi was silent for a while.

"I see." Chu Zihang smiled self-deprecatingly, his steps did not stop, and he walked towards Xia Mi, as if he wanted to pass by her.

"Yes." Xia Mi took a step to the side, blocking Chu Zihang's way. The girl stubbornly stared into his eyes,

"I'll jump, even if your boat passes under the bridge a thousand times, I won't hesitate to jump." As soon as she said the words, she regretted it, tonight really exceeded her expectations too much...... was forced by Chu Zihang to even say such things, in fact, she was still not mentally prepared, but she just couldn't help it.

She once made an excuse, the latitude of time is different for the dragon king and humans, in the long river of time, Chu Zihang is just a small reef, and she is the river itself, the river will not entangle the reef for a long time, the sea is the final place where the river belongs.

But what is the sea? The end of her dreams? Don't be funny, it's a bit ridiculous to say this, no one has ever known what the sea is, why bother with something ethereal as a target.

Maybe there is indeed gravity between people, Chu Zihang is her destiny, an inescapable catastrophe, no matter how much she deceives herself...... Love and hate are the product of the accumulation of time, and there has been a person who has crossed paths with her in time, whether he is a dragon or a human, and that intersection exists.

"That's it." Xia Mi seemed to hide the panic in her heart and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Wait." Chu Zihang stopped her, he stretched out his hand and pulled the hair of the girl's sideburns behind her ear,

"My hair is a little messy." Natsumi looked at the boy in front of him in a daze, his movements gentle.

"I'm really leaving!" She couldn't stay any longer, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it if she stayed any longer.

"See you tomorrow." Chu Zihang said.

"Hmm......" Natsumi lowered her head and took a few steps back, turned around and trotted away. Chu Zihang watched her figure disappear into the dormitory building, and suddenly felt that there were a few more compulsory classes every night.

………… The girl ran back to the dormitory, closed the door, and crouched down against the door. She clutched her chest and looked up at the sparse shadows of the sycamore branches outside the window.

"It looks like I'm really trapped......" Natsumi muttered to herself,

"Damn it."
