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?!"
The night was falling, the streets were bustling with traffic, and the figures of the two of them were particularly distinctive. Their quiet postures, silent gazes at each other, mysterious and unpredictable.
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 was hesitant to speak, as if he was a little embarrassed, Xi Haitang smiled slightly and said, "Senior, let's go for a walk.
explain."
"Yeah." He nodded lightly.
Not far away, there is a university town. Their footsteps naturally lead to T University, and the youthful atmosphere on the 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.
A slowly blooming smile appeared beside him. What bloomed in his eyes was his entire youth.
However, my mood suddenly became melancholy again. Those once glorious and splendid youthful years were gone forever, leaving only the endless stars that made me feel sad.
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 centenary anniversary of T University. The students were in high spirits and held an extremely gorgeous masquerade, requiring everyone to wear masks when entering. Mysterious masks, 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 them all.
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.
Talked about wishes and ideals.
She said her biggest dream is to become a jewelry designer and carve the flavor of love into girls’ favorite diamonds.
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.
However, he missed that opportunity.
She saw Su Xin's figure on the dance floor, and saw loss and sadness in her eyes. At that moment, she realized belatedly that Su Xin had always had a crush on her senior.
Time has passed, and 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, "Begonia, I'll take you back. Don't keep Su Xin waiting. She needs you very much now."
Xi Haitang nodded. After all, they had 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, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
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.
The 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, and 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 under the influence and has been detained. His family is willing to take full responsibility for the matter."
Gu Xichao twitched the corners of her lips, "Let's talk about these things later. The person is still in first aid..."
