After finishing their meal in a daze, Xiao Muyuan and Xi Haitang left the dumpling restaurant together, "Haitang... I have something to tell you..."
"Um?!"
As the night falls, on the bustling streets, there is a lot of traffic. The two of them are particularly distinctive. Their quiet postures and silent looks at each other are mysterious and elusive.
There was a hint of fragrance in the wind. I don't know what it was, but it made people feel very comfortable. Seeing that he hesitated to speak, as if he was a little embarrassed, Xi Haitang smiled slightly and said, "Senior, let's go for a walk and talk as we go.
"
"Yeah" he nodded lightly
Not far away is the university town. Their footsteps naturally lead to T University. The youthful atmosphere on campus is getting closer and closer.
The color of night enveloped his face lightly, quiet and peaceful. The ever-changing clouds in the sky spread from the vast horizon, and the unique quiet atmosphere of the campus floating in the wind was just like the corners of his lips.
The slowly blooming smile beside his eyes is the whole time of youth.
However, my mood suddenly became melancholy again. Those once glorious and splendid youthful years were gone forever, leaving only the endless starry sky and melancholy.
He stood by the fence of the campus, holding up his arms, turned to look at her and asked calmly, "Do you still remember the masquerade that year?"
She nodded, "remember"
That year was the 100th anniversary of T University. The students were in high spirits and held an extremely gorgeous masquerade ball. Everyone was required to wear mysterious masks when entering the venue. Fatal encounters
She chose for a long time, but she couldn't choose the mask she liked. Most girls chose Snow White, Cleopatra, or Juliet, but she felt that none of them were suitable for her. They were either too beautiful or too luxurious. She
Don't like it
Seeing that the dance was about to begin, she still hadn't made a choice and didn't even want to attend. But at the last moment, she suddenly found the most special one among a bunch of masks, the Kunlun Slave Mask.
In that youthful era, perhaps due to the influence of the TV series, she was too deeply impressed by the scene of Princess Taiping and Xue Shao meeting for the first time in "Ci of the Ming Dynasty". The scene was full of magnificence and desolation, and she could never forget it.
"Da Ming Gong Ci" says: Love means staying together forever, meaning two people will always be together, whether alive or dead, just like two ivy trees entangled on a cliff.
Maybe, she also yearns for that kind of love that lasts forever
So, she couldn't help but choose the Kunlun slave mask
But I never thought that there was another person wearing such a mask at the dance, and that person was Xiao Muyuan
He didn't choose Prince Charming or Romeo, but just like her, he chose Kunlun Slave
Among a group of people with flamboyant masks, two people who also wore the slightly ugly masks of Kunlun slaves slowly approached. The two of them danced together, but they did not talk about love, nor did they talk about love.
Talking about wishes and ideals
She said her biggest dream is to become a jewelry designer and carve the girls’ favorite diamonds into the flavor of love.
But he smiled and said nothing, because at that time he was already ready to go abroad. He thought that the future was long, and it would be better if he gave her the first trophy in his design journey.
When the song ended, many of the dance partners took off their masks and hugged and kissed each other. Whether it was mixed with love or not, it was the purest and most beautiful memory in life.
But, he missed that opportunity
She saw Su Xin's figure on the dance floor, and she saw loss and sadness in her eyes. At that moment, she realized belatedly that Su Xin had been secretly in love with her senior.
Time has passed, the campus of T University is still beautiful and pleasant, and the auditorium where the masquerade ball was held is still brightly lit, but she, he, and Su Xin have all changed.
The voice of a text message came from the phone, it was Su Xin
——Haitang, when will you come back? I have something I want to discuss with you.
She knew that what Su Xin wanted to discuss with her must be related to Gu Xichao. If she guessed correctly, Su Xin wanted to discuss their marriage with her.
Xiao Muyuan looked at the time and said considerately, "Haitang, I'll take you back. Don't keep Su Xin waiting. She needs you very much now."
Xi Haitang nodded. After all, they have not known each other for nothing these years. Su Xin was stronger and braver than her before, but now, Su Xin needs to be protected more than she does.
"Senior, thank you..."
Once again, sincerely thank him
Xiao Muyuan smiled bitterly. If it hadn't happened, he might have been able to bear the word "thank you", but...
With his eyes narrowed, he said a low farewell to this thirteen-year relationship, "Let's go..."
Walking to the intersection, the traffic lights alternated between red and green. He habitually protected her on his left hand side because he was left-handed and always felt that he could protect her better with his left hand.
next second
"drop……!!!"
A bunch of harsh and violent car lights came straight over, hitting her body, as sharp as a knife blade, tearing her figure apart mercilessly. At the same time, it was accompanied by a piercing car horn warning.
The sound was sharp, piercing the night sky, like a horn from hell.
The dazzling line hit her, and she subconsciously raised her hands to cover her eyes. When she was confused, she suddenly felt the world spinning. She was protected by him behind her. Looking over, she vaguely saw an out-of-control black car roaring towards her.
"Senior..." She screamed, her pale face looking particularly bleak against the scarlet blood on the ground.
◎◎◎
Outside the emergency room, Xi Haitang and Su Xin hugged each other and cried. The traffic police had to explain the situation to Gu Xichao, the only one who still retained his sense.
"The vehicle responsible for the accident has been impounded by the police. The driver was driving drunk and has been detained. His family is willing to take full responsibility for the matter."
Gu Xichao twitched the corners of her lips, "We'll talk about these things later. The person is still in first aid..."
