Everyone's eyes were all focused on Qin Luo's body, until his figure disappeared under the curtain, until there was no one under the spotlight, but their eyes were still fixed, and they couldn't return to their senses for a long time.

Although the mournful song is far away, the melancholy mood has remained in people's hearts for a long time.

The strong audio-visual feast did not exchange for continuous applause, and people just kept recalling the scene they had just seen in their minds.

Thinking of the boy walking across the red carpet, thinking of the boy crushing his headphones in front of the stage, thinking of the boy mourning on the stage......

At this moment, I don't know how many people were sad and how many people were silent.

The auditorium, which should have been bustling and noisy, could be heard quietly at this moment, and the only sound that could reach people's ears was the raging storm outside the window.

Qin Luo...... Qin Luo, don't go...... Don't go ......."

A hoarse cry suddenly sounded, and even though it was very weak, it was still noticed by many people in the auditorium at this time.

So people looked at each other and saw the girl on the edge of the red carpet.

She was wearing a crown and a white dress, she should be as pure and beautiful as a princess, but at this time, she was already moistened with tears and light makeup, and her whole person exuded a sad atmosphere.

She held out her hand to the stage, as if she wanted to save something—people knew what she was holding, and knew that her wish would never be answered.

"Xu Ke, what are you doing, put your hands down!"

Liu Mei scolded Xu Ke in a low voice, she admitted that she underestimated Xu Ke's affection for Qin Luo, but she didn't expect Qin Luo's song to cause such a huge blow to Xu Ke.

But none of that mattered, the important thing was that she didn't allow Xu Ke to do such a humiliating act.

So she pressed Xu Ke's arm a little forcefully, and continued to scold: "You forgot what Ling told me before? You told me you didn't like him at all, so what are you like now? ”

Xu Ke turned a deaf ear to her mother's scolding, she just looked fixedly at the curtain that had covered Qin Luo's figure just now, her face was full of irretrieval remorse.

Qin Luo...... Qin Luo, don't go...... You're coming back......"

She tried to hold back, but tears and well-ups of emotion blurred her voice, so much so that what she said sounded like a dream.

The voice that was left behind was not even heard by the people around him very clearly, and it was even more impossible to penetrate the curtain, and it was difficult to convey it to someone's heart after all.

Liu Mei gritted her teeth, she turned her head to look at the people around her, and found that they were really watching the excitement, so she taught her in a voice that hated iron and steel: "I told you a long time ago that a man can't believe it at all, if he really likes you, he won't give up on you, don't cry...... Don't ......"

Before she finished speaking, Xu Ke suddenly escaped from her arms and ran in the direction of the stage.

Liu Mei was startled, and after reacting, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Ke's arm, and subconsciously asked: "What are you going to do!" ”

"Mom, let go of me, I'm going to find Qin Luo, you let go of me!"

Xu Ke cried and struggled, her cry was full of pleading, and her struggling figure kept leaning towards the direction of the stage.

But her appearance did not arouse her mother's pity, but made Liu Mei's face more gloomy.

Anyway, it had already been seen by other people, and Liu Mei didn't care too much at this time, just thinking about taking Xu Ke back quickly, and immediately shouted angrily: "Hurry up and go back with me!" ”

As she spoke, she was about to forcibly drag Xu Ke away, but Xu Ke didn't know where the strength came from, and he struggled harder and harder.

It seemed that at this moment, she had completely understood why Qin Luo was showing something wrong today, and what Qin Luo said to herself in front of the door of the auditorium before.

He used a song to completely dissect his heart, but the intention that could be conveyed made Xu Ke's emotions fall to the bottom.

thought of the bits and pieces when the two got along, and remembered the short but shining sweetness...... They unconsciously filled Xu Ke's heart, but now they disappeared with Qin Luo's figure.

So Xu Ke finally realized that that was the part of her heart that was stripped away, so she wanted to chase after it, she wanted to throw herself into Qin Luo's arms, and wanted to make up for the missing piece of her chest - other than that, everything was no longer in her eyes.

"You let me go...... You let me go!! ”

Xu Ke let out a heart-rending scream, which spread throughout the entire auditorium in an instant.

Liu Mei was stunned by her shouting, and Xu Ke also broke free from her mother's arm.

She lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, as if she was chasing something, all the way across the stage, but when she desperately lifted the curtain and searched around, she could not find the figure that made her heart ache.

"What about Qin Luo...... Where is Qin Luo? Where did Qin Luo go? ”

His eyes blurred by tears were mixed with sorrow and pleading, and Xu Ke kept making a voice for help.

The people backstage looked at her with complicated eyes - how could the flower of the famous school kaolin ever look so embarrassed as it is now?

A boy seemed a little unbearable, and said, "Qin Luo has already left." ”

"Gone?" Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself as if he was distracted: "No, he can't go, he can't go......"

Under the complicated gaze of the people, Xu Ke turned around while muttering.

She lifted the curtain vigorously and carried her skirt across the stage under the gaze of countless people, but just as she wanted to jump off the stage, her hurried footsteps accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt.

So she staggered, and fell to the ground.

"Bang-"

That muffled sound at this moment caused even more power than the thunder resounding outside the window, startled everyone's hearts.

But what made them even more unbelievable was that the seemingly weak girl didn't even say a word, and struggled to get up from the ground.

Dust and filth stained her white dress, and the shining crown fell to the ground, cracking with her pride and reserve.

"Keke!"

Liu Mei came back to her senses from her stunned, she let out an exclamation from her mouth, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her daughter.

Xu Ke turned a blind eye to everything around her, she endured the severe pain all over her body, stood up as fast as she could, and then looked at the wine bottle in the hand of the man on the side.

Then she gritted her teeth, stepped forward and snatched the bottle, slamming it against the edge of the stage.

"Ping-"

With a crisp sound, Liu Mei's body, which had just taken a few steps, suddenly froze in place.

Under everyone's stunned gaze, Xu Ke cut through her beautiful dress with a sharp wine bottle, and the sound of "stabbing" continued to sound, and her stiff skirt was shortened to the knee.

Then she threw away the bottle and the rag in her hand, and resolutely ran in the direction of the exit of the Great Hall.

The tear stains on her face could not cover her sadness and pain at this time, and the pain caused by the fall was nothing in comparison.

Despite her faltering steps, she kept moving forward, as if she wanted to recover what she had lost, as if she wanted to soothe the fear and remorse in her heart.

Liu Mei looked at her daughter's distant figure in a daze, she had never seen her daughter show such a look, even if she was covered in bruises, she had to desperately keep it, in her impression, her daughter had never done such a thing.

She has been very obedient since she was a child, she is a good daughter in Liu Mei's eyes, she will not disobey any of her mother's requests, she is cold and hard in front of others, and she will only show her warmth to her mother.

But now Liu Mei suddenly discovered that as early as before she knew it, her daughter's heart seemed to have fallen on someone else.

For some reason, at this moment, she actually felt a trace of remorse in her heart.

So she took a step forward and ran all the way to the figure of her daughter who was chasing.

Several figures followed, Yao Yanyan and Tang Yu were the ones who moved fast, and Chu Rujin and Chu Liunian only took action after seeing their movements.

Although the sisters didn't know what the point of chasing after them was at this time, they just wanted to follow the past, as if they wanted to see the final ending of the play.

People's eyes were fixed on them, and they watched them go all the way with mixed thoughts, and it was not until this time that the host, who was stunned because of the deviation of the show, finally reacted.

He ran to the stage in three steps and two steps, took the microphone and began to control the field: "Thank you for the wonderful program brought to us by the students just now, everyone, the next performance continues, please ......"

The host's voice woke up the spectators, who withdrew their gaze and returned to the stage, but their attention could not be gathered.

The show just now was so amazing that the image of the teenager walking across the red carpet and singing resolute still lingered in their minds.

Some people couldn't help but sigh, lost their interest in watching the show, and whispered to the people around them.

Some people quickly detached, watching the show sigh while still pushing cups and changing lamps with the people around them, as if they had just watched an interesting farce.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

…………

Heavy clouds gathered in the sky, the wind tore at the air, and the rain beat the earth.

The bad weather and the broken body did not stop Xu Ke's footsteps, she staggered forward step by step - I don't know whether she felt something in her heart or her own guidance in the dark, she unconsciously came to the parking lot, and just happened to see a familiar figure sitting in a car.

The moment he saw that figure, Xu Ke's eyes suddenly lit up.

It's like a victim seeing an oasis in the desert, like a prisoner in the abyss seeing the light from above.

Xu Ke took two heavy breaths and hurriedly took a step.

"Qin Luo! Qin Luo, wait for me, wait for me......"

She kept pleading and pleading, and even though her body was weak and her soul was wounded, the voice still passed through the storm and reached the ears of several people in the car through the windows.

Father Qin and Mother Qin turned their heads to look, and they watched Xu Ke walk towards this side with difficulty.

She was supposed to be like a princess in the castle, but at this time, she completely lost the beauty she had on the stage before, and she was only embarrassed all over her body.

In the wind and rain, she is like a flat boat on the stormy waves, and it seems that she may be overturned at any time.

Mother Qin was a little unbearable, she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but when she thought of the scene that happened on the stage just now, she swallowed the words back from her mouth again.

She turned her head to look at Qin Luo, who was sitting in the back row, her eyes were full of pity, and she asked, "Xiao Luo, are you okay?" ”

Qin Luo shrank quietly in the back row, he leaned on the window, looking at the roof with a pair of eyes, looking a little distracted.

Father Qin glanced back at him and said lightly: "Manly man, since you have made a decision, don't regret it, either go all the way or ...... Get out of the car and look for her now. ”

His father's voice woke Qin Luo up, and his scattered eyes began to regain focus.

He suddenly said, "Dad, give me the lighter." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin's mother immediately looked at her husband on the side.

Father Qin seemed to be a little speechless, but he still didn't say anything, and silently took out smoke and fire from the secret compartment of the armrest box.

He used to smoke, but he quit after marrying Qin's mother - on the surface, but in fact, he was still secretly smoking.

This is a secret that the father and son have tacitly assigned, but now they are shaken out by Qin Luo coldly.

Father Qin smirked at his wife, but Mother Qin suddenly snatched the fireworks, and just as the former was about to speak, the latter handed the things in his hand to Qin Luo.

"Give."

Mother Qin opened her mouth gently, with doting and pity between her eyebrows.

"Thank you, Mom."

Qin Luo took the lighter, but ignored the box of cigarettes.

Then, under the slightly puzzled eyes of the old couple, he took out a photo from his wallet.

In the photo is a pair of teenagers and girls, they are standing opposite each other, each holding an ice cream, the teenager is smiling, and the girl is shy and secretly happy.

This picture looks so pure and beautiful, but in the eyes of the old couple, it can only make the mood more sad.

With a crisp sound of "pop", they saw Qin Luo press the lighter, and the red flames jumped and jumped, and a little glimmer of light was reflected in Qin Luo's eyes, but they couldn't ignite a trace of light in it.

Under the complicated gaze of the old couple, the flame and the photo gradually intertwined, so the flame rose, and the photo was ignited in the blink of an eye.

Qin Luo watched expressionlessly as the flames devoured the photo bit by bit, then opened the car window and threw the photo out in the noise of the outside world.

When the windows were raised, the interior of the car was quiet again, and only the sound of being torn and twisted by the wind and rain still came.

Facing his parents' worried eyes, Qin Luo suddenly smiled and said, "Mom, Dad, I won't go home yet." ”

They didn't react much to Qin Luo's words, as if they could fully understand Qin Luo's mood at this time.

Qin Mu asked softly, "What do you want to do?" ”

Qin Luo thought for a while and said, "I want to go around and relax." ”

Father Qin took out his mobile phone when he heard this, and said while operating: "I'll transfer 100,000 yuan to you, if it's not enough, I'll ask for it again, and tell us when you want to go home." ”

Qin Luo smiled slightly, he didn't say thank you, just leaned against the window and closed his eyes.

It was as if he was about to fall asleep, and all that came out of his mouth was a sound that seemed to be something that seemed to come out of his mouth.

"Let's go......"

Mother Qin pursed her lips and didn't speak again.

Qin's father started the car and stepped on the accelerator.

None of them looked at the embarrassed figure outside the window.

Xu Ke, who was not far away, was still walking towards the parking lot step by step with difficult steps, seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, and the light in her eyes was becoming more and more obvious.

At this moment, the roar of the engine suddenly sounded.

Xu Ke was slightly stunned, watching the car disappear, and by the time she reacted, the distance between the two sides was out of reach.

In an instant, the oasis in the desert turned into a mirage, and the light in the abyss was obscured by darkness.

At this moment, the strength that came from nowhere and supported Xu Ke all the way suddenly disappeared.

The boat in the terrible waves was finally capsized—Xu Ke fell sharply, his knees slamming to the ground, and blood-colored ripples rippled in the hazy water.

Watching the car fade away, the starlight in her eyes quickly faded, as if covered in rain and tears welling up again, and the whole world seemed to become illusory and distorted.

"Qin Luo ......"

"Qin Luo, come back, come back......"

"I beg you not to go, I beg you not to go, don't go, okay...... Ahh......hh

Remorse, pleading, retaining...... Xu Ke's thoughts were transmitted through the sound, but they were easily torn apart by the storm.

It failed to reach anyone's ears, and in the end it could only turn into the irrepressible despair in Xu Ke's heart, and into her mournful screams.

"Keke!"

Liu Mei's voice suddenly sounded, and she anxiously rushed to her daughter's side and hugged her into her arms, but her daughter's appearance at this time made her feel a burst of heart palpitations.

Rain mixed with tears covered her pale face, her body was cold, her pale lips closed one by one, and from time to time she made a hoarse and subtle sound, like the whisper of a dying man.

"Keke...... What's wrong with you? Don't scare me, you say something, Keke! ”

Liu Mei shook Xu Ke's body vigorously, and the huge panic made it difficult for her to stay calm at this time.

The resentment that Xu Ke and Qin Luo got too close, the anger caused by Qin Luo's song, and the anxiety caused by Xu Ke's reaction after listening to it—all of them fell apart at this moment, and turned into a suffocating regret in her heart.

"Keke, don't be like this, Mom is really scared now."

"Mom knows it's wrong, Mom won't stop you from being with Qin Luo in the future, okay?"

"Mom can go to Qin Luo to apologize, as long as you want, you can let your mother do whatever you want, you say something, don't scare Mom......"

For Liu Mei, her life was ruined twenty years ago, and Xu Ke is the only belief that supports her to live.

In the face of her daughter's appearance, she can no longer retain any persistence, as long as Xu Ke can get better, she will not hesitate to pay any price.

So she kept making pleading noises from her mouth, trying to get her daughter's response in exchange.

However...... No matter how Liu Mei pleaded or shook, Xu Ke didn't give the slightest reaction.

She seemed to have been hollowed out of her soul and turned into a puppet, neither her mother's call nor the raging storm around her could arouse a trace of her consciousness.

"Keke...... Mom really knows it's wrong, please say something......"

Liu Mei's voice almost collapsed, she gritted her teeth, and seemed to want to hold Xu Ke and leave directly.

But at this moment, a photo came into her eyes.

Most of the picture was burned by the flames, and the mangled body was crushed to the ground by the storm, like a corpse.

"It's ...... Photo? ”

Liu Mei muttered to herself and picked up the photo, as if she wanted to look more closely.

But the word "photo" seemed to trigger the keyword, which made Xu Ke suddenly move.

She snatched the photo, looked at it fixedly with cloudy eyes, looked at him in the broken picture, and looked at her who was shy and timid to her......

"Boom!"

A thunderclap resounded through the sky, and it exploded in Xu Ke's heart, causing ripples.

It was as if she had suddenly realized something, and her breathing suddenly became rapid.

She knew why Qin Luo was acting so weirdly today, and why his smile that should have been soft seemed to be wearing a false mask.

"Original...... He...... Saw ......"

She gasped for air, and the sunset of the bloody evening naturally came to mind.

Qin Luo put the photo of himself and Xu Ke into his wallet, and pointed to the stack of photos in her hand and said, "Be careful, don't lose it again this time." ”

Be careful...... Don't ...... this time Lost ......

It turns out that I have ...... Lost him once......

This time...... I ...... him again Lost ......

She murmured silently, as if she had been choked by a great emptiness.

She realizes that her pride is nothing, she is confused by her ephemera-like life, and all her anger seems to have been lost in this moment, and her body has fallen with it.

Liu Mei was taken aback, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Ke up, and was about to speak, but she was a little speechless by Xu Ke's appearance at this time.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh, and extreme sadness and despair rushed out of her empty eyes, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a torrent of substance.

Rolling thunder rolled through the clouds, winds and torrential rain piercing her skin, tormenting her shattered soul like a photograph.

Liu Mei hugged her daughter's body in a panic, her lips had been bitten white, and her voice was hoarse and sluggish when she spoke: "I'm sorry, it's my mother's fault, my mother shouldn't stop you from being together, it's all my mother's fault, now let's go to the hospital first, and I'll go to Qin Luodao in person tomorrow ......"

"You go away!!"

A sudden scream interrupted Liu Mei's voice.

Liu Mei was stunned for a moment, and then was pushed away by Xu Ke, who suddenly burst out.

Obviously, the girl who couldn't even stand on her feet just now, but at this time, she didn't know where the strength came from, and she suddenly pushed Liu Mei staggered.

Liu Mei almost fell to the ground, and before she could even react, she saw her daughter running in the direction of the girls' dormitory building like crazy.

Her stunned gaze reflected her daughter's embarrassed figure, and when she noticed the photo she was holding in her hand, Liu Mei seemed to realize something-in an instant, the remorse in her heart became even stronger, and even overwhelmed her.

"Photo...... Photo ......"

Xu Ke kept muttering that no one could hear, her shoulders and neck were stiff, and her steps were staggering.

The wind raged around her, and the torrential rain was like a sticky glue, making every step she took seem extremely difficult.

They looked like they were going to pull her to the bottom, but she persevered to the front of the girls' dormitory.

Suddenly, a piece of shredded paper that had been pinned to the ground by the rain came into view.

Xu Ke's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran over, and then fell directly to the ground.

The sharp pain in her knee didn't seem to cause her any sensation, she just stretched out her hands tremblingly and took the shredded paper in her hands with the gentlest movements.

Looking closely, only traces of brokenness can be shown on the shredded paper, but Xu Ke still holds it in the palm of his hand as if he has found a treasure.

Then she looked anxiously around, the hazy rain and fog interfering with her vision, but she quickly found what she was looking for.

She didn't even get up again, and crawled to the nearest piece of paper with her hands and feet.

The rain did not make her complain in the slightest, and she even thanked the rainstorm in her heart, because without them, these broken traces would have been long gone.

Liu Mei, who followed closely, saw this scene, and only felt a sharp pain in her heart as if she had been cut by a knife.

She hurriedly ran to Xu Ke's side, and begged while supporting her: "Keke, mom beg you not to be like this, mom please......

Xu Ke brutally broke away from Liu Mei's arm, she turned a deaf ear to her mother's voice, as if all that was left in her world was the shredded paper in her palm.

One, two, three...... Xu Ke carefully gathered the shredded paper together, and she tried to put it together, but none of the patterns could match.

So she put it in her pocket and continued to search the area.

"Qin Luo, don't be angry, I will find them all back, and then put them all together, you give me some more time, give me some time......"

Xu Ke muttered to himself, wandering under the rain like a walking corpse, looking for the missing part of his heart.

The red blood flowed down Liu Mei's lips, and she opened her mouth, but after all, she didn't make any more sounds, just walked forward without saying a word, helping Xu Ke find those broken memories together.

Not far away, Yao Yanyan, Tang Yu, Chu Bijin and Chu Liunian silently looked at the scene in front of them.

They saw the embarrassed Xu Ke and Liu Mei, and saw those broken photos.

After a short silence, Tang Yu walked over with an umbrella, and then Chu Rujin, Chu Liunian.

Only Yao Yanyan didn't move, she stared at that side expressionlessly for a while, then held her umbrella and turned around to leave without saying a word.
