Breaking the Cocoon v. 52
Between the two, there was a sudden silence in the corridor shrouded in night.
If it weren't for You Lie's obscure eyes that were distracted but instinctively grabbed her eyes, he looked down at her and didn't allow her to move away for half a minute, then Xia Butterfly might have thought that he didn't hear her.
It's incredibly long for a few seconds.
Xia Butterfly saw that the Adam's apple on the boy's slender neck slowly rolled down at hand, and then You Lie retreated, as if to avoid her breathing.
"Xia Irisβ" His voice was hoarse for no reason, like a joke, and he trembled low and muffled from his chest.
"The wild fox that ran out of the mountains, is it as bold as you?"
Xia Butterfly looked at him without blinking: "I'm not joking with you." β
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"I don't know, it doesn't matter, I used to be careful every step of the way, but tonight I suddenly wanted to gamble." Xia Butterfly looked at him, and suddenly, the corners of the girl's lips curled slightly, revealing a cool smile.
The fox's eyes were about to poke into his heart, "You Lie, will you let me lose?" β
ββ¦β¦β
The thin black shirt was not hidden, and You Lie's chest slumped violently.
The look he looked back at her was almost fierce:
"But I don't want you to be served."
"I'm already here."
The little fox lowered the corners of his eyes, clasped his thin white fingertips, and swiped around his waist, and then slapped it on his wrist.
"See?"
The girl looked back and asked him softly.
The corners of You Lie's drooping eyes trembled slightly: "What?" β
"Line."
Xia Kites also seemed to feel that she was too naΓ―ve like this, and couldn't help but smile very lightly.
The tail of the fox's eyes hung down softly: "It's already tied, and it can't be untied." Even if you don't want to, I'll keep dragging you. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
You Lie was dumbfounded in the eyes of the girl who looked up at him.
It was a silence that filled the world, and in the moonlight shallow light shallow and gentle and indulgent, You Lie could not help but indulge. It wasn't until the emotions in her eyes were like a lake in his spring that he woke up and heard his heartbeat drowning out the roar of the building at some point.
You Lie's long eyelashes drooped his eyes.
As if disarmed, he whispered and said something.
Just as the sound outside the building was shocking, it overshadowed the sound of that sentence, Xia Yuandie didn't hear it clearly, frowned and tilted her head close to his chin: "What did you say?" β
You Lie slowed down and glanced at her slowly, "I said, I've lost to you, fox." β
ββ¦β¦β
The girl turned her face back unexpectedly.
She was just about to speak, when another crazy scream exploded outside the open window.
You Lie's eyebrows were raised, and a little cold boredom was drawn in his eyes that had not yet faded from his smile.
"Let's go to the attic, it's too noisy here." You Lie turned around, subconsciously trying to clasp Xia Kites's wrist, but he suddenly stopped before touching it.
After two seconds, the man laughed as if self-deprecatingly, and he clenched his knuckles: "Take your rope, fox." β
Xia Butterfly blinked, and when she didn't notice that he stretched out and put back into her trouser pocket, she followed.
The two of them went all the way up to the attic at the top of the small building in the middle of nowhere.
Before coming up, Xia Kitedie didn't know that on the top floor of the attic was an almost panoramic skylight. There are no high-rise buildings near the villa area, the scenery is unobstructed, and the first time you step on it, you can see the starry night in the wilderness in the distance.
A cashmere blanket with an illegible pattern is separated by two chairs and a small wooden table.
After You Lie came up, he waited by the stairs and looked at her against the corner: "Do you want to sit?" β
Xia Kitese looked back vigilantly: "What to do." β
You Lie was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, he laughed lowly.
The man walked to the back of the chair, and he picked up the solid wood rattan chair that looked very heavy with one hand, dragged it back lightly and casually, and then patted the back of the chair with his slender five fingers on the cold white moonlight.
He looked tired and raised his eyes with a smile, "If you don't sit down, forget it." β
Summer Kite: "......"
She walked for half the night, and tossed to find him, of course, to sit.
After her, You Lie also sat down in another chair.
He lazily lifted his long legs, put them on his laps, supported his chin with the armrests on his side, and his dark eyes looked unconsciously into the night outside the long window.
It was still noisy outside, but looking at the starry sky and the night in the distance, Xia Butterfly felt that the world seemed to be quiet.
There was a long, long silence between the two.
At a certain moment, without warning, You Lie opened his mouth in a low voice: "Do you know what day it is?" β
Xia Butterfly turned around: "Is it related to Auntie?" β
ββ¦ Well. β
You Lie was not surprised by the fox's acuity, he closed his eyelashes lightly, "Her birthday." β
Xia Kites paused, and in the deafening noise and joy outside the window, she felt inexplicably like a thorn had been pierced into her heart.
"Nobody remembers."
You Lie lowered his voice, laughing at himself but coldly, "That's right, she's been gone for eleven years, who will remember." β
The thorn was wedged deeper.
Xia Kites frowned: "Isn't Auntie's departure an accident?" β
"It's an accident, but it's also ...... Accidents that wouldn't have happened. β
Xia Kite looked back puzzled.
You Lie lowered his eyes and no longer looked at the starlight and moonfield: "She is an idealist, through and through. For the sake of love, to get married, for the sake of love, to give up her starry sky, for the sake of love, to trap herself in a house...... It's a pity that the person she fell in love with was a businessman who valued profit above everything else. β
"Within two years of marriage, You Huaijin's business in the sea has improved, he began to linger in the wine market, and he did not return at night.
"Oh, not alone," You Lie thought of something, and hooked the corners of his lower lip mockingly.
When he looked up, the light outside the window swept through his dark eyes, burning the cold light in them, "And a child he left for her." β
The thorn in Xia Kites's heart wedged deeper, causing her to frown and bite her lip silently.
You Lie was still sneering: "Yun Huan, who interviewed him that year, became the last straw - it was not her, it was me. β
"I've seen enough of her sitting in the living room crying every night and pretending to be okay in front of me, I've seen enough of the photos and messages sent by those women provoking her, and I've seen enough of You Huaijin's happy face and the happy face of the snake familyββ"
"That year was when I held a knife against this," You Lie slashed indifferently in front of the carotid artery, "forcing them to divorce." β
Xia Butterfly was startled, straightened her back instantly, and turned around.
Probably touched by the girl's rare panicked eyes, the coldness in You Lie's eyes melted slightly.
He tugged at his lower lip lightly: "Don't be afraid, I'm just deliberately scaring them." β
"I knew that their marriage was in jeopardy, that she had relented again and again, and that I could save her from a life of despair like stagnant water if I gave her an excuse......
You Lie's voice suddenly became hoarse.
It's like the light in those lacquered eyes suddenly dimmed.
His eyelashes twitched, and he closed them, "I thought I was saving her." β
ββββ
Xia Butterfly suddenly expected something, and her frightened emotions exploded from her neck to her ankles, and goosebumps trembled out in You Lie's hoarse and mournful voice.
And just as she had expected, she heard his voice tremble.
In the second month of the divorce, she could finally stop cooperating with all his pretense of a happy family and focus only on her own life and work. She was on a business trip and boarded the plane to South America with her colleagues. β
Before leaving, she said that she was going to the border between Chile and Peru to take pictures of the most vast sea of stars in the universe for me. Let her son know what a romantic thing she used to do. β
"She's gone."
"Never came back."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Summer Kite froze in that chair.
The goosebumps couldn't be suppressed, like the body and soul were all trembling.
She knew that what she should say at this point was, "That's not your fault," "You didn't expect that," "You're doing it for her good," "It was just an accident."
But she knew how pale these words were to You Lie, who had already judged her for not knowing the years.
There was dead silence in the building.
It was deafening outside.
In the extremely strange silence and noise, You Lie slowly raised his eyes, and he pulled the corner of his lower lip at her, but the look was too sad to call it a smile.
He asked her in a low voice.
"Fox, you say...... You Huaijin or me, who deserves to die more. β
βββοΌβ
The thorn finally wedged to the bottom.
Everything that is soft, rational, and capable of thinking is pierced and pierced by it, and the wind seems to pour into the heart like an empty field in the night, cold and bitter.
Xia Kite's reason froze, and she didn't want to listen to it.
So, following instinct, the girl got up, and went round the chair and the wooden table, and she walked up to You Lie, who was sitting there in a daze, but who seemed to be about to fall into the boundless abyss behind him at any moment, and she stretched out her handβ
Very light, the girl's slightly cold hands covered his ears.
