Chapter 43: Loneliness
Walking out of the hotel alone, Su Xiaoyang didn't feel a little melancholy, and rushed all the way from Beijing to Xi'an, originally thinking that he could meet his friend Xie Hongyu here, but he didn't expect to pounce. At this time, even Chu Xiaoxiao, who had been chattering in her ears, was gone, leaving Su Xiaoyang alone, standing alone on the street.
Thinking of Chu Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoyang couldn't help but smile bitterly, although he was firmly deceived by this little girl, but somehow, he couldn't be angry with her;
Where should I go now? Do you want to go to Captain Lin and them? At this moment, the war is imminent, and I am afraid that going by myself can only add to the chaos, and this time I came to Xi'an on my own initiative, so it is better to cause fewer incidents.
Then let's go back, where to go back and forth, after making up his mind, Su Xiaoyang couldn't help but think of the woman in white at the Phantom Sword Base, graceful and moving.
Liu Bingbing, I don't know what she's doing now? Will she still wait for her to take a walk by the lake as usual? Will she be disappointed if she doesn't see herself this morning? Or maybe she doesn't feel it at all.
Su Xiaoyang couldn't help but shake his head.
In this way, he wandered while thinking nonsense, and before he knew it, he had walked out of a few miles.
This is a large open park, and there were very few people in this hot weather, but for some reason, at this moment, a group of people are busy on a platform in the middle of the park, and sometimes there are people shouting and commanding.
Originally, it was nothing, maybe there was some renovation and construction project in the park, Su Xiaoyang wanted to leave after a glance, but after seeing it, he couldn't move away.
Forty or fifty meters in front of the big platform, that is, in front of Su Xiaoyang's side, there was a tall and majestic strange stone, which looked more than two people tall and had a peculiar shape, like an ancient Wenchen.
But what attracted Su Xiaoyang's attention was not this stone, but the three big characters engraved on this stone:
Fengshentai!
I have the impression that this is where the live hero meeting was held.
He involuntarily stepped forward.
"Live heroes gather, heroes guide the country!"
These are the slogan banners hanging down from the two coiling dragon pillars, which set off the momentum of this altar.
Su Xiaoyang's heart seems to have been touched by something, tonight, there will be a peak showdown in the live world, only the strongest can walk on this stage, and finally laugh at the world. So, is it only by stepping on this stage that you can prove yourself and prove that you are the best!
A faint urge suddenly swelled up and instantly occupied his entire heart. He had never thought of becoming the king of the live world, but at this moment, a voice was clearly saying:
This stage will belong to you sooner or later!
Like a greedy hunter, he stared at the two seats on the table. After a long time, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and shook his head in an effort to calm himself down.
"I ...... What's wrong with me?" Su Xiaoyang asked himself in his heart, as if he himself was taken aback by the kind of ambition he had just shown.
Just as he was hesitating, suddenly a familiar voice behind him whispered his name:
"Xiaoyang!"
Su Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked back, only to see a beautiful girl in pink clothes looking at him fixedly, with a gentle face.
"Is that you, what are you doing here?" asked Su Xiaoyang pretending to be angry.
The person who came was Chu Xiaoxiao, she smiled mischievously and replied: "I brought you to Xi'an, of course I can't leave you alone." β
For some reason, Chu Xiaoxiao's arrival at this moment made him faintly happy, probably because he was too lonely and lonely.
"How did you find me?" Su Xiaoyang simply stopped pretending to be angry.
Chu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, "Actually, after you left, I have been following you behind." β
Su Xiaoyang's heart was hot, and he asked, "Then why don't you catch up with me......?"
Chu Xiaoxiao's face flushed, and she immediately replied: "People want to see where you fool are going, maybe you still have a good girlfriend in Xi'an, so I will catch up with you to make a light bulb?"
Su Xiaoyang sighed faintly and said, "Where do I have a girlfriend...... he gradually lowered his head, "No one will like my ......"
Chu Xiaoxiao slowly walked to his side and comforted: "How come? Everyone has their own advantages, don't be so inferior, in fact, you are also very good, you became Zhou Yunfei's successor at a young age, you know, Zhou Yunfei is a myth in the real world, how bad can the person he fancy be." β
Su Xiaoyang raised his head and looked at the big black and bright eyes, smiled and said, "Thank you." β
Chu Xiaoxiao also smiled, and the two of them looked at each other like this. After a while, Chu Xiaoxiao proposed, "I'll invite you to go and have coffee." β
Su Xiaoyang looked at the time in embarrassment and said, "I'...... I want to go......"
"Let's go?" Chu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Aren't you watching tonight's game?"
Su Xiaoyang looked back at the Fengshen Platform behind him and said, "No, I'd better go back early, it's against the team rules to come out this time, if you let Captain Lin see me and ...... again"
He wanted to say, "If I let Captain Lin see me with you again, I will be very angry", but the words came to his lips and swallowed back.
But with Chu Xiaoxiao's cleverness, how could he not guess it, so he looked unhappy and asked, "What's wrong with me?
Su Xiaoyang hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "I didn't mean that, in fact, no matter what, you are 442, and I am 433, just let you Captain Chu, oh no, even if you let your brother know, he will definitely scold you." β
Chu Xiaoxiao snorted and said, "He won't care about me! I can be with whoever I like to be with, and none of them can control me!"
Su Xiaoyang smiled helplessly, was silent for a while, and then continued: "But, but I really have to leave......"
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at him, there seemed to be a complicated emotion in her eyes, and finally, she still bloomed a trademark bright smile and said, "So, before you leave, accompany me to have a cup of coffee, okay?"
For some reason, in the face of the invitation of the beautiful girl in front of him, Su Xiaoyang couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and said:
"Okay!"
Chu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, and pointed across the street: "Let's go to that house!"
The two of them just laughed and walked across the street......
And after they left, two people appeared behind the big stone engraved with "Fengshen Terrace" not far from them.
One was tall and wore a pair of sunglasses, but in this hot weather, he wore a pair of black gloves, which looked very strange, and the other was pot-bellied, wide and fat, but his face seemed to be smiling forever.
This tall and fat two people are Zhou Yunfei and Lotte.
"Su Xiaoyang was in front of him just now, it is rare for you masters and apprentices to see each other, why are you hiding......?"
Zhou Yunfei said expressionlessly: "I just passed the 'Blood Red' to him, but I didn't teach him a trick and a half, so I am not a master and apprentice with him." β
"Even so, you should meet each other, after all, he is the person you have been looking for for two years, hehe......"
Zhou Yunfei looked at the figures of Su Xiaoyang and Chu Xiaoxiao who had gone away and was silent, and said for a long time: "Now is not the time to meet." β
Lotte smiled again and said, "You are really weird, you talk about it on weekdays, but now you are a stone's throw away from that kid, but you don't show up." β
Zhou Yunfei said lightly: "Seeing him now will only add trouble to him." β
Lotte smiled: "Okay, then don't talk about his name in the future, my ears are calloused." By the way, who do you think will win tonight's game? Last time in the national competition, you guessed that Chu Tian won, but it turned out that Lin Xiao won, hehe, so what about this time?"
Zhou Yunfei sighed and said, "I always thought that something would happen in tonight's game. However, if it is only about strength, the two of them are really chess opponents. β
Lotte patted his belly and smiled, "I also think it's a little weird for tonight's game." β
Zhou Yunfei said: "When the time comes, I will know, the Nine Swords Team has spent a lot of time to engage in this activity this time, and naturally there will be no attempts." β
Lotte smiled: "Hehe, anyway, the more chaotic they are, the better it will be for our plans." β
Zhou Yunfei sneered, but stopped talking......
β β β β β β β β
In the cafΓ©, Su Xiaoyang and Chu Xiaoxiao sat facing each other, and the two of them were silent at the same time and did not speak, but looked out the window together.
The world outside the window is noisy and noisy, and the traffic is surging, but through the glass, the window is so quiet that no noise can be heard, so the two of them stared out the window, as if they were watching a silent movie.
"Are you afraid of your Captain Lin?" Chu Xiaoxiao broke the silence.
Su Xiaoyang sighed, obviously not expecting her to ask this question, so he said slowly: "Actually, it's not that I'm afraid, our Captain Lin is still very good, it's just that ...... It's just that we have a lot of rules in 433, like I came to Xi'an without permission this time, and I have ...... with you With you, it's all against the rules of the team. β
Chu Xiaoxiao snorted and asked, "Then you ran to Xi'an to find Xie Hongyu, didn't you violate the rules?"
Su Xiaoyang was speechless, so he had to sigh and said: "You are the eldest lady of 442, you are spoiled by your brother and respected by everyone, and you will not understand ordinary team members like us." β
Chu Xiaoxiao also sighed faintly and said, "Actually, it's not what you said at all. Because my brother was the captain, he would only lock himself in the cultivation hall all day long, almost never caring about me, respecting me and scolding me to the rest of the people, but no one ever really understood me. I laugh on the surface, but in fact, I'm lonely a lot of the time!"
The word loneliness does not seem to be unfamiliar to Su Xiaoyang, for many years, the word loneliness seems to have been with him, freezing his inferiority complex like an ice cellar.
Su Xiaoyang couldn't help but raise his head to look at Chu Xiaoxiao, but found that the other party's eyes were already slightly red, and he seemed to be about to cry at any time.
I only heard Chu Xiaoxiao continue: "Actually, I have heard of you a long time ago, Xie Hongyu Brother Xie often mentions you in front of me, of course, secretly, he is really good to you, after listening to the story of him and you, I have always wanted to meet you, meet the boy with low self-esteem but tenacity in his mouth, and most importantly, we are all lonely people." β
Thinking of Xie Hongyu, Su Xiaoyang couldn't help but feel melancholy again, he already owed him too much!
"Yesterday, I originally planned to come to Xi'an with Brother Xie, but he seemed to be very emotionally unstable, and he was going back to Longkong Villa, so I went to the Chalang Bar alone in the evening, and I didn't expect to meet you there. Originally...... Originally, I wanted to tell you that Brother Xie had already gone back, but, but at that time, I really wanted to have someone to accompany me, and I found you very interesting, so ...... That's why I lied to you to come with me......"
Su Xiaoyang smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't blame you at all. β
"Really?" Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.
Su Xiaoyang nodded, Chu Xiaoxiao smiled, and then explained:
"Actually, there's another reason why I lied to you to come with me. β
"Oh?" Su Xiaoyang asked, "What is it?"
"Today," Chu Xiaoxiao's face suddenly showed an inexplicable sadness, "Today is my birthday." β
Su Xiaoyang was puzzled, "Wow! Then you should be happy!"
"But no one remembers my birthday, not even my brother!"
Su Xiaoyang was silent, he seemed to understand this feeling of being ignored, once upon a time, who could remember his birthday? He silently looked at the girl in front of him, thinking to himself, maybe, we are really all lonely people.
"Give it to you!" he took off a jade Guanyin from his neck and handed it to Chu Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile:
βHappybirthdayοΌβ
Chu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and then Su Xiaoyang saw the beautiful smile that could make him remember for a lifetime.
"Thank you, I love it!"
Chu Xiaoxiao took it with both hands, and her face was quite loving.
Su Xiaoyang said embarrassedly: "That...... It's actually fake...... But it's been with me for years......"
Chu Xiaoxiao said quietly: "This is the best gift I have received since I was a child!"
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Su Xiaoyang couldn't help but feel pity, and couldn't help asking, "Is it September 2nd?" β
Chu Xiaoxiao nodded, and Su Xiaoyang said with a smile:
"I promise you, one more person will always remember your birthday!"
