In the dark and cramped room, a damp musty smell pierced his nose, Xu Xiangchi's eyes slowly opened, and he heard the sound of the news broadcast on TV.

"Five years ago, the suspect in the murder of a male college student at Ningjian University has been arrested"

"Focus specifically on tomorrow's news webcast"

Xu Xiangchi looked at the ceiling, his hair was scattered on the bed, the futon next to him was darker, Xu Xiangchi's eyelids were swollen, and the ceiling was shaking.

Is she awake?

Thinking about it, Xu Xiangchi pulled off the futon on his body and sat up, the light of the digital TV set was dazzling, Xu Xiangchi subconsciously raised his hand to cover it, his eyes subconsciously squinted, watching the news broadcast.

yes, it's been five years.

Ling Xingxiang had been dead for five years, and she still had such a ridiculous dream.

I weaved an illusory and beautiful shell for my fruitless youth, but I woke up from a dream, and the shell was like a rock sugar shell, "Click-"

Shattered to the ground.

Before five years ago, she would take the high-speed train from Jiangqiao to Ningjian every once in a while, if nothing else, just to see the city she longed for, and occasionally to visit the vicinity of Ningjian University.

She had hoped countless times that she could meet Ling Xingxiang near Ningjian University, but not once.

But when she could finally justifiably stay in Ningjian, Ling Xingxiang was gone, and he left.

Maybe she won't return to Ningmi City in this life, and she won't see him near Ningmi University.

Five years ago, Ling Xing ushered in his twenty-one years old, but his life stopped at his twenty-one years old.

Five years ago –

Around the Spring Festival, gaze at the university dormitory

Winter vacation is a happy time for other college students, but it is a good time for Ling Xingxiang to do projects, he stayed at home for a few days and went back to school early.

Anyway, that family can't accommodate him, so it's better to come out early, so as not to attract people to see him.

Ling Xingxiang sat down in a chair, raised his hand on the keyboard, and leaned his arm back, looking at the project that was almost finished.

His eyes subconsciously turned out of the window, the blue sky and white clouds were shining, Ling Xing took a breath of the dull air in the dormitory, stood up and walked to the window, and then opened the window and saw a little new green growing on the bare tree.

Ling Xingxiang put down the item in his hand, took the mobile phone, put on a black hat, carried a white banana bag, pressed the computer to standby, and went out.

Ling Xingxiang thought to himself, the project can't be in a hurry, with such a good weather, let's go out for a walk.

Ling Xingxiang aimlessly got on the bus, played randomly, and went wherever he went.

On the bus, the standard broadcast cavity played, "Please get on the bus passengers hold the handrail, the next stop, Meihua Mountain." ”

Ling Xing moved his gaze, Plum Blossom Mountain? The winter plum should bloom this season, and it is just right to climb the mountain and exercise.

So, Ling Xingxiang put his thoughts on Plum Blossom Mountain.

When the bus arrived, there were a lot of people, but not a lot, so Ling Xing went up the mountain.

The plum blossoms all the way, one red and one white, the young man has good physical strength, and he suddenly jumped to the halfway up the mountain, and there was no one on the halfway up the mountain.

Ling Xing was walking up and down, and suddenly heard a voice of "Help!!" ”

Ling Xingxiang's nerves were vigilant and he paused his steps, and then, the girl's shouts became louder, but most of them were at the foot of the mountain and couldn't hear her at all.

Ling Xing twisted the corners of his eyebrows, and when he slowly leaned over there, he saw two strong and fat men holding a girl hostage, and the black wide-legged pants worn by the girl fell into Ling Xing's eyes.

Ling Xingxiang leaned against the plum tree to cover it, the girl's jacket was deformed under the tearing of the thugs, she shouted loudly, one thug with a knife in his hand guarded behind the other thug, turning in a circle to guard.

Ling Xingxiang didn't go up directly, but called the police first.

He couldn't watch the girl being mutilated like this, but he also had to consider his own ability and safety, and the call was quickly connected.

Ling Xingxiang explained the situation to the police in a low voice, and after the police listened, they immediately responded.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xingxiang picked up a stone on the ground, looking for an opportunity, when he saw that the girl's clothes were about to hang up, Ling Xingxiang aimed at the thug who was acting on the girl, smashed it, and after smashing it, Ling Xingxiang quickly retracted his body.

Then the thug was smashed with a "ah-" sound, stopped what he was doing, turned around and showed a vicious look, and his accomplice was frightened by his voice, and scolded at him: "What is your tm called!" ”

The thug who had been smashed stood up, called out to the thug who was guarding, and said, "There are other people here, someone just hit me on the back." Saying that, the two of them walked in that direction towards Ling Xing.

At this time, the girl stood up tremblingly, and ran inside without thinking, and the two thugs continued to walk towards Ling Xing.

Ling Xingxiang hid behind the dense plum blossom trees, lowered his breathing as much as possible, and hid his hand in the plum blossoms.

The thug who was guarding looked and saw that there was no one at all, and then said, "Who is it, you know to be suspicious all day long." ”

Saying that, he turned back, but found that the girl who was held hostage by them ran away, and the thug who was guarding scolded the ancestor directly, saying: "Don't look at it, hurry up and chase it." ”

The smashed thug did not give up, glanced at his accomplices, deliberately took a few steps back, and said, "Okay, let's hurry up and chase after us." ”

Ling Xing nervously broke out beads of sweat on his cheeks, the tall man hid behind the plum blossom tree, almost couldn't hide, and when he heard that someone was leaving, he subconsciously relaxed his vigilance.

This move was all seen by the smashed thug, and immediately raised his sharp knife to look at the thug who was guarding, anyway, one must die today.

They don't pick people.

The thug who was guarding deliberately stepped on the leaves to create the sound of chasing people, which made Ling Xingxiang really relax his vigilance, and really thought that people had run away.

The smashed thug detoured from the back of the plum tree, and the footsteps were muffled by the sound of leaves made by the pretend chase, Ling Xing turned sideways and looked to the left, and the smashed thug saw his figure, without the slightest hesitation, and directly gave Ling Xingxiang a knife.

Ling Xingxiang's eyes subconsciously widened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the smashed thug immediately pulled out his knife and continued to give Ling Xingxiang two knives.

The blood spread, staining the white plums on the ground.

When the police came, they saw Ling Xing, who had been choked due to excessive bleeding, spread out under the plum tree, the white banana bun was dyed red, the girl was rescued, and the thug ran away.

And at that time that day, Xu Xiangchi had just taken the high-speed train from Jiangqiao to Ningjian, and she wanted to go to Ningjian once before she transferred to the exam, to try her luck, and to see Ling Xingxiang.

She specially brought a bouquet of flowers, a handful of blood-colored plum blossoms, Ling Xingxiang liked plum blossoms the most, and she wanted to give them to him.

When she met Ling Xingxiang a year ago, she felt that her approach was very poor, and she learned from Xu Jinchen's mouth that he didn't have a girlfriend yet, so she wanted to give it a try.

It was the bravest she ever had because she was about to come to the city.

Perhaps, Ling Xingxiang also likes her.

Of course, this is just her one-sided idea.

But when she arrived at Ningmi, near Ningmi University, she saw a group of policemen.

After the police entered the school, the security uncle sitting at the door lamented and said, "Eh, what a good student, it's just gone." ”

When the security guard saw Xu Xiangchi wandering at the door, he asked her, "What about waiting for your boyfriend?" ”

At this time, Xu Xiangchi didn't know it, and when he heard the uncle's words, the corners of his mouth twitched, he shook his head, and replied with a smile: "It's not a boyfriend." ”

Then, the uncle continued to ask, "It's from that department." ”

Xu Xiangchi thought about it, Ling Xing used to study computers, and theoretically it should be the Department of Computer Science and Technology, so he replied to the security uncle with a smile: "It's from the Department of Computer Science." ”

When the uncle heard this, his expression darkened, and he smacked his lips and shook his head: "Eh, it's from the computer department." ”

Xu Xiangchi saw that the uncle's state was not right, so he asked curiously, "What's the matter, is something happening in the computer department?" ”

The uncle looked at Xu Xiangchi, and said with a very regretful expression: "It's not what happened at the school, it's just that the police just came to say."

"A computer science student was murdered for saving people on Plum Blossom Mountain."

"You said that this is about to graduate, and you will get out of it soon."

"As a result,"

"Otherwise, God is jealous of talents."

Seeing that the security uncle looked sorry, his tone was very dull, and Xu Xiangchi's expression became serious.

Just as Xu Xiang was about to speak, two or three policemen from later walked past her while talking.

Xu Xiangchi's eyes glanced at the file in the policeman's hand, and glanced at Ling Xingxiang's photo, Xu Xiangchi's heart subconsciously "grunt-" for a moment.

He immediately turned around and asked the security guard, "Uncle, what is that student's name?" ”

The security uncle thought for a while and replied to Xu Xiangchi: "It seems that the surname Ling Han opened Ling alone."

Xu Xiangchi held the bouquet's hand, and subconsciously shook it, choking on the words he wanted to speak.

I thought in my heart, it wouldn't be Ling Xingxiang.

How could it be Ling Xingxiang, how could Ling Xingxiang go......

Wait, where are you going?

went to Meihua Mountain, thinking of this, Xu Xiangchi's heart was already half cold.

But Xu Xiangchi still told himself that no, it was just a coincidence, it just happened that a male classmate surnamed Ling happened to be in the computer department and happened to go to Meihua Mountain.

Does going to Plum Blossom Mountain mean that you also like plum blossoms?

No, it's certainly not him.

Just when Xu Xiangchi brainwashed himself, the security uncle thought of his name and said, "It seems to be Ling ..... Ling Xing to. ”

"I don't know if it's the word, but it's probably called this."

After hearing the words of the security uncle, Xu Xiangchi's head "buzzed-", his eyes subconsciously hollowed, and the bouquet in his hand slammed on the ground with a "bang-" sound, and the petals on the branches shattered, like flowing blood.

Xu Xiang slowed down for a few seconds, squatted down with low eyes and picked up the bouquet, hugged it in his arms and walked back without saying a word, his eyes were empty, and after a while, fog began to rise under his eyes.

When crossing the street, he was startled by the horn of a car, and Xu Xiangchi subconsciously took a few steps back.

The owner of the car opened the window and scolded: "Do you want to die, don't you walk for a long time?" Didn't you see that it's a red light now?! ”

Xu Xiang didn't refute for a long time, and the owner saw this and drove away directly.

Xu Xiangchi crossed the road safely, the sun fell through the clouds, Xu Xiangchi's tear ducts were like a faucet without a switch, tears were pouring out, Xu Xiangchi squatted on the sidewalk, his arms bent inward, and he held a bouquet of plum blossoms in his hands.

She didn't know how long she had been crying, probably for a long, long time.

The sun is slowly obscured by dark clouds, and the cold wind of winter is undiminished, rolling the bayonet with power, piercing Xu Xiangchi's shell, this weather is like a child's face saying that the sky will change the sky.

In the morning, the sky was still clear, but after noon it was overcast and there was no light.

Xu Xiangchi's legs squatted from numb to unconscious, and when she raised her head, there were few pedestrians next to her, she moved her inintuitive legs with difficulty, and limped to the chair and sat down.

Xu Xiangchi's body was forward, his head was lowered, he was holding the red plum blossom bouquet in his hand, and he wanted to cry but the tears couldn't come out.

The corners of Xu Xiangchi's eyes were red, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at the red plums lacking petals in a daze.

There was a mess in my head, nothing, nothing to think of.

She came to see Ling Xingxiang, and this time she came with the purpose of watching Ling Xingxiang.

But she couldn't see Ling Xingxiang anymore.

Later, Xu Xiangchi got her wish and came to Ningjian, graduated from college, went to work, tried to fall in love but to no avail, in fact, she was the same as most girls.

She chose to spend the rest of her youth quietly, reading alone, traveling alone, and doing a lot of things alone, so that she almost forgot about Ling Xingxiang for a while.

In recent months, she has been diagnosed with a stomach tumor, but further results are not yet available, and she does not know whether it is benign or malignant.

It was also in the past few months that her life seemed to have returned to the starting point all of a sudden.

Sickness, unemployment, urging marriage, not having much savings, and being confused about what the future holds.

Xu Xiangchi sat on the edge of the bed, thinking with low eyes, she was obviously about to forget Ling Xingxiang, but she thought how could she forget Ling Xingxiang.

That was the most vivid stroke of her nameless youth.

She shouldn't forget.

In her world, they started in that dull and long summer, when they were training in the first year of high school.

There is no high school of Jiang Zi and Su Kun, only Xu Xiangchi, Ling Xingxiang, Sheng Xi and Chang Jiuzhi's high school.

In the first year of military training, Xu Xiangchi was chased by Chang Jiuzhi at that time, and Chang Jiuzhi always bullied her because he knew a lot of people, Xu Xiangchi didn't like to resist, but he didn't drag his feet.

Under the sun, Chang Jiuzhi put his hands around his arms and said domineeringly: "Xu Xiangchi, be my girlfriend, I will cover you." ”

At that time, she was full of learning, and she had no idea of early love at all, so she said indifferently: "I refuse, I don't have early love." ”

But Chang Jiuzhi didn't want to let her go, and when she was about to leave, he grabbed her hand and made her unable to go, just when she was embarrassed, Ling Xingxiang appeared.

He walked over and handed the iced milk tea in his hand to Xu Xiangchi, and at the same time pushed Chang Jiuzhi away with one hand.

Xu Xiangchi looked at Ling Xingxiang's tall back, the hot summer wind blowing his hair, and her heart skipped at that moment.

Then, Xu Xiangchi stood there in a daze, Ling Xingxiang felt Xu Xiangchi's blazing gaze, and coldly threw a sentence: "Don't leave yet?" ”

Xu Xiang responded to his words for a long time, but thought of the milk tea in his hand again, and said softly: "Your milk tea." ”

Hearing Xu Xiangchi's voice, Ling Xingxiang turned his head with a questioning expression, glanced at Xu Xiangchi with his eyes and said, "If you don't leave, I can't help Chang Jiuzhi." ”

Seeing that Chang Jiuzhi was pressed to death by Ling Xing, Xu Xiangchi left suspiciously, and left with his milk tea.
