Chapter Forty-Six: Ruthless and Merciful

It's raining. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 At first, the wind was mixed with bits and pieces of rain stars, and then the raindrops gradually intensified, and soon the road surface was wet and bright. The cold and damp air enveloped Su Yu and Xu Qingluo, and the two of them trotted up the last part of the road, ran out of the small park and crossed a road, like two rabbits escaping from the wings of eagles, and burrowed into the nest of the small hotel.

As soon as the rain started, it was uncontrollable. For the next day and night, Su Yu and Xu Qingluo could only sit in the small hotel and listen to the rain behind closed doors. Su Yu sat in front of the window practicing guitar, and Xu Qingluo ran to Su Yu's room under the pretext that she couldn't see the rain in her room, honestly and unceremoniously turned over the bedside, hugged the quilt and read a book. She was very quiet, occasionally looking up at Su Yu, watching him sitting there playing the guitar, his expression was focused, the sound of the guitar mixed with the sound of rain outside the window, it was as warm as a dream. Sometimes she would be reluctant to look away, and she would stare for a long time, delirious.

Su Yu is practicing two tunes repeatedly, one is the simple "Dream Order" that Xu Qingluo sang, and the other is "Accompany You to the End of the World" that he taught him later, which Xu Qingluo learned from music books, and the melody is also simple and good, suitable for guitar beginners. Su Yu has studied for nearly a month, and with hard work, he has been able to play these two songs relatively smoothly. He just doesn't know how to sing, he doesn't like to sing since he first came into contact with music, and he just practiced guitar, and he didn't have time to practice singing. He played the guitar and hummed low, his voice as if it were nothing.

Xu Qingluo listened and listened, and somehow, she opened her mouth and sang softly along with the gentle lyrical melody.

After shedding the last tear / Ready to say goodbye to sorrow / Don't miss the breadcrumbs / Before yesterday comes back / I will accompany you to the end of the world / Even if you fall, I will be by your side / I will accompany you to the end of the world / We embrace the death of faith

You are like perfume making perfume all over the world / You are the absolute beauty made in heaven / Everything has to be rewritten for you / I will accompany you to the end of the world / If you die you will be by your side / I will accompany you to the end of the world / We hold hands and listen to the harmony that is taking place in all things

Xu Qingluo's voice is clear and soft, which is three points more moving than the original song. Su Yu simply shut up, and only played the guitar wholeheartedly to accompany her. On this day when the autumn rain knocked on the window, in the dark room, the two of them played and sang me, repeating this simple song over and over again tirelessly until night. It's just that one person regards it as the beginning of warmth and unswervingness, while the other person regards it as the last warmth and affection.

A lonely man has to go on the road alone after all, and he doesn't expect the girl to really accompany him to the end of the world, not because he won't live that day, but because they don't belong to the same world.

Time passed by in the sound of the piano and the rain, and by ten o'clock in the evening, the rain still showed no signs of stopping. Xu Qingluo suddenly thought, if it was time to make an appointment with "Ziluo" to learn the piano, and she still stayed here and didn't leave, would Su Yu directly ask her for piano skills, or would she go out to find "Ziluo"? Will the bleak wind and cold rain outside stop Su Yu from going out?

No matter what Su Yu did, it would be an embarrassing situation for him, so Xu Qingluo was so "sleepy" that she couldn't open her eyes all of a sudden. She got out of bed sleepily, yelled to go back to the house to sleep, and left two pieces of her own clothes for Su Yu. They are all winter clothes, although they are women's models, Su Yu is tall and slightly thin, but he can wear them, at least he can be warmer when he goes out.

When it was eleven o'clock in ten minutes, Su Yu stopped practicing, put the guitar into the piano case, looked at the clothes left by Xu Qingluo, thought about it, or put on one of the red woolen jackets with a hat, then picked up the guitar and pushed the door out.

He didn't know if "Purple Radish" would be waiting for him in the park, but he had to go and see it so she wouldn't have to wait.

He didn't have an umbrella, he walked out of the hotel gate, and walked quickly to the small park in the drizzling night rain. The long street in the rain is dimly lit and dreamlike, but the small park is dark and muddy. Despite his tweed clothes, the low temperature brought by the autumn rain still made him feel cold and awe-inspiring. Touching the darkness, he walked along the path countless times to the end, and he saw a dim lantern in the dark pavilion, under which there was a girl's dress and a gentle smile, as if waiting for the return, as if that was his return.

Su Yu couldn't help but feel a trace of melancholy in his heart, but he was washed away by the cold rain in an instant. He walked into the pavilion as usual, untied his guitar, and sat down opposite the girl.

He never knew that this lamp and candle, which was besieged by the prosperity of the world, this lamp and candle that was far darker and monotonous than the night scene of the city, was only lit for him alone, and only wanted to shine on him.

The lights are dim and jump in the pavilion. Outside the lights, only the sound of rain was like a song, and there was not a trace of rain in the blurred darkness. In the lamplight, the young people sometimes talked and sometimes played the piano, the sound of the piano was intermittent, and the voice was soft.

It didn't take more than half an hour. Su Yu put away his guitar and stood up, put the hat of the tweed coat on his head, wrapped his clothes tightly, and left as usual. It's just that he just walked out of the pavilion and stepped into the rain, when he heard "Ziluo" behind him shout: "Su Xiaoyu, wait a minute!"

He stopped and looked back at the girl under the lantern, the rain ticking down on his face, quickly wetting the hair on his forehead.

"Ziluo" asked, "What do you think, how is my sister?"

Su Yu was slightly stunned. He knew that she was asking about Xu Qingluo, of course it was very good, but he didn't understand the purpose of the other party's question, so he was stunned and didn't answer.

"Ziluo" also felt a little embarrassed after asking, and when he saw that he was stunned, he waved his hand again and said, "Okay, it's okay, don't stand stupidly in the rain, go back quickly!"

Su Yu nodded, turned around and left, only walked a few steps, but heard the girl behind him shouting, "Hey, Su Xiaoyu!"

Su Yu didn't know what she wanted to say, so she stopped and looked back at the pavilion.

The girl bit her lip lightly, and plucked up a little courage before saying, "My sister said ...... She wants to be in love. ā€

Speaking of the second half of the sentence, the voice gradually lowered again, but this sentence still penetrated the rain curtain and was completely sent to Su Yu's ears, as unexpected as flying from the sky, which made Su Yu very surprised. He didn't expect the girl to suddenly say this to himself, what did she want to express?

Connecting the two sentences before and after, probably most people will vaguely read the meaning of some confessions. Ask you how I am first, and then tell you that I want to fall in love, although I didn't say it explicitly, but it also has the meaning of seven or eight points. Although Su Yu is simple-minded, he is not a fool, and he can hear the trick, but even if the meaning is clear for seven or eight points, the remaining two or three points have to be guessed by boys after all, and Su Yu's guess will definitely not be "Xu Qingluo likes me".

They can be friends, they can be partners day and night, but it is difficult to be true lovers. Su Yu was nostalgic, and he just wanted to stay by Xu Qingluo's side as a friend, and he never thought about anything else. A teenager who is not even as good as an ordinary person does not dare to let such an outstanding girl like himself, this is not inferiority, but self-knowledge. There is an unbridgeable gap between them, such as the distance between heaven and earth, like the separation of immortals, which is not something that can be chased and fought for by hard work at all.

Growing up since childhood, Su Yu never chooses the best things, and never expects things that no matter how hard he tries, he can't achieve them. He remembered Xu Qingluo's kindness to him, but those kindnesses would only make Su Yu say sincerely: "You are good enough for me, and I will be good to you, and I will be better to you." He would never say, "You're so good to me, why don't you be better and be my girlfriend." ā€

So when Su Yu's heart shook when he heard this, he calmed down immediately, and then another thought popped up in his heart: Today Qingluo met Jin Heyang, they are the same person, and then she said that she wanted to fall in love, could it be with Jin Heyang?

The coincidence of time and the equivalence of identities made Su Yu unable not to associate them together. In addition, he never knew why Xu Qingluo always ran to that university, and he didn't know anything about Uncle Lin and Jin Luohua. Now he could only guess that it was for Jin Heyang. Perhaps, on that night in the coffee shop, Qingluo had already realized Jin Heyang's true identity.

Of course, this is just speculation. If you follow this speculation, it is not difficult to imagine that Xu Qingluo's words should be understood like this: "I'm going to fall in love, and you will not be suitable to follow me in the future." ā€

Well, that's probably it, but we're friends after all, and she's too embarrassed to say it to me directly.

All the thoughts flowed through the lightning, and then Su Yu's head began to ache faintly, so that he had to give up other thoughts. Two guesses, completely different results. He looked at the girl in the pavilion, nodded silently, and said, "Oh, I see. ā€

The girl bit her lip lightly and looked at him as well. The two of them were silent for four or five seconds, one in the pavilion and the other in the rain, and then the girl suddenly asked, "Don't you ask me, who does my sister want to fall in love with?"

Su Yu followed her and asked, "With whom?"

The girl glanced at him, pouted slightly and turned away: "You only asked, there is no sincerity at all, I don't bother to say it." Go back. ā€

Su Yu's brain hurt more and more clearly, and he felt as if he had thought something wrong, but he couldn't think about it anymore. Standing here all the time pouring cold rain and blowing cold wind, probably it will have some effect on his brain, right? He was afraid that he would get sick here again, and since the girl was angry, he didn't say anything, so he simply said, "Well, then I'll go." He turned, wrapped his clothes tightly, and hurried away.

A gust of wind blew, blowing a cluster of rain diagonally into the pavilion and striking the skirt of the maiden in the pavilion. The girl didn't realize it, but quietly listened to Su Yu's footsteps on the muddy ground and fade away, her eyes turned red, and two tears slipped down her cheeks.

She felt sad like never before.

She really wanted to confess. After teaching the guitar, she thought that she was going to meet Jin Heyang for a while tomorrow night, a fight was inevitable, the other party's ability was unknown, maybe that strong opponent would also appear, maybe she would not be able to come back, she decided temporarily, and expressed her deep love, she didn't want to leave regrets. But Su Yu's reaction disappointed her.

Does he not understand his own words, or does he really have no feelings for himself?

After getting along with each other day and night for so many days, she was secretly in love, she didn't believe that Su Yu had no feelings for her at all, but his reaction was like a piece of wood!

At that time, she was really a little angry, and she wanted to act angry, so that she could be petty and let Su Yu coax herself. But she said that if she didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask, and she said let him go, and he really left. That's not how he usually does.

She really wanted to turn around, stomp her feet and call him back, come back, but she was afraid to cry. She really felt so aggrieved and sad. She felt that Su Yu shouldn't be like this, and he shouldn't treat herself like this.

I like you, I really like you, I've done so much for you, and I mustered up the courage to confess to you, but you left me coldly and ignored me!

You really don't understand what I mean?

Yes, she will never understand, sometimes, those confessions that are half expressed are not confessions at all, some people don't understand, and some people dare not understand. If there was no Jin Heyang's appearance, maybe Su Yu would have figured it out quickly, but Jin Heyang was there, and he could only leave silently with a chaotic mind. But without Jin Heyang's appearance, where would Xu Qingluo think of confessing?

This night, Su Yu listened to the sound of rain outside the window, and tossed and turned on the bed until dawn. His mind was so confused and aching that he couldn't sleep at all, and as soon as he closed his eyes, his brain exploded in pain.

Xu Qingluo didn't sleep either, she didn't go back to the hotel at all, she just sat in the gazebo until the lantern burned out until the sky was bright.

When the rain stopped, the small park was lively again, and the number of people exercising in the morning gradually increased. Xu Qingluo changed her clothes, washed her face, and returned to her usual appearance. She sat in the pavilion reading a book and waited for Su Yu to come to the park for a run. It's just that half of a book has been turned, and Su Yu hasn't come yet.

She finally couldn't sit still, got up and hurried back to the hotel, pushed open the door of Su Yu's room, and saw the young man sleeping soundly on the bed.

He's fine, thank goodness, but the fact that he's still asleep at this time only means that he had lost sleep last night. The girl stood in front of his bed for a long time, sighed softly, closed the door and withdrew.

Su Yu slept until noon. After waking up, Xu Qingluo didn't say anything, and Su Yu didn't ask anything. The atmosphere between the two was a little cold, and they spent the whole afternoon in their rooms. Su Yu practiced the guitar, but he was always playing wrong. Xu Qingluo was reading, but she was in a daze.

In the evening, the two had dinner at the noodle restaurant next to the hotel, and as soon as they went out, Xu Qingluo said, "I'm going to school, you go back to the hotel and wait for me." ā€

They have been inseparable for so many days, but this time she proposed that Su Yu could not go with her.

Su Yu nodded silently, turned around and walked towards the hotel.

Xu Qingluo said again: "Remember, you can't go anywhere!"

Su Yu didn't look back, but stopped after taking a few steps, looked back at Xu Qingluo's back in the other direction, and shouted "Xu Xiaoluo!"

Xu Qingluo also stopped and turned around.

"You must be good!" said Su Yu.

Xu Qingluo was stunned, thinking to herself, could it be that Su Yu knew that she was at risk tonight? She hurriedly replied with a bright smile: "It's okay, don't worry! Stay in the hotel obediently!"

The two said goodbye. Su Yu returned to the hotel unhurriedly, entered the door, and packed his things unhurriedly. In fact, he didn't have anything at all, only his mother's notes, a few clothes, and a guitar, all of which were given by Xu Qingluo. He cleaned up for half an hour, then picked up his guitar, picked up his bag, and walked out the door. Then he stood in front of Xu Qingluo's door for a while, and said softly, to himself:

"Actually...... I've always felt like I've caused you a lot of trouble, and now that you're not alone, it's time for me to leave. Although you said that you would always be with me, but, as we all know, it is difficult to have two people for a long time. You see, I'll take your guitar with you, let it be with me for you, and I'll let it stay with me for the rest of my life. Xiaoluo, you don't have to be embarrassed, I chose to leave by myself. If you want to start a family, I will also start a family in the future, think about it, there will always be a day when we will be separated. It's just that the day came a little early, and I'm a little sad...... I know, I like you, huh...... Probably no one doesn't like you, right? I may never see you again, I just want you to ...... Be happy. Your Su Xiaoyu, he will also live well in a place you can't see. ā€

Su Yu wiped a handful of reddish eyes and walked out of the hotel.
