Chapter Seventeen Apollo and Daphne

This apartment is really comparable to a five-star hotel. The bathroom alone is more than 30 square meters. There is a huge scallop-shaped bathtub in the corner. The floor is also made of uniformly sized pebbles in a pattern. The mirror is waterproof.

Fog, always clear and bright.

They were soaking in the bathtub at this time. Under the soft and bright light of the ceiling lamp, the four people's snowy shoulders, pink faces, and slender necks formed a picture of "Four Fairies Bathing" in the cloud-like bubbles.

Boys may rarely be like girls. As long as the relationship is good, it goes without saying that it is inseparable and it is normal to be honest with each other. However, boys may be embarrassed and feel that such sexual feelings are so sexy. Girls do not have this pressure.

Even if they joke that they are Lily and Lesbian, they will not take it seriously.

At this time, they were all sitting there quietly, listening to a love story that had passed away but could not conceal the original beauty. At noon, which was no different from usual, she had just prepared a meal in the cafeteria and was about to take it back to her dormitory, when suddenly

Someone ran out of the diagonal stab and bumped into her, and the lunch box in her hand flew towards the person in a graceful parabola. As soon as she recovered from the shock, she saw clearly the person who had bumped into her. One of them had vegetable soup all over his face.

The boy's clothes were stained with rice grains, vegetable leaves and oil stains. He ignored the dripping soup in his hair and just looked at her with concern.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I scared you. Are you okay?"

His voice was soft and soft. She couldn't help but take a closer look at him, and saw that his eyes were like a pool of autumn water. She couldn't help but be drunk at the sight of them, her mind was swayed, and she marveled that there could be such beautiful eyes in the world.

She lowered her head and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just splashed soup all over you. Do you want me to help you wash it?"

"No, no, it was my fault first. Just wait, wait for me." After saying that, he ran to the canteen.

She actually stood there waiting like a ghost, and the warm spring breeze blew over. Well, she closed her eyes and smelled the fragrance.

He came back quickly and handed over an exquisite lunch box. The transparent area on the lid showed that delicious food had been packed inside. He scratched his head in embarrassment and handed it over: "I'm sorry for knocking over your rice."

, I made a new one, I don’t know what you like, so just make do with it, and I’ll treat you to dinner later in the evening to make amends.”

She obviously didn't expect it, and said slightly surprised: "No, you go back and change clothes first. It's still a bit cold, so you might catch a cold. I'm leaving first."

It feels like running away.

Why do I yearn to see those beautiful eyes but are so afraid to look into his eyes? Why do I reject the opportunity to meet him again even though I am looking forward to getting to know him?

She didn't know. She only knew that if she was still standing there, she might turn into a cooked shrimp in the next second.

I returned to the dormitory with a feeling that I don't know whether it was joy, anxiety or a little annoyed. I looked at the lunch box carefully. It was pink and cartoon-shaped, a typical thing that girls would use. Could it be his girlfriend's?

She was a little dejected by this conjecture. Well, what kind of nymphomaniac was she doing? Maybe she already had a girlfriend, and she just bought one temporarily to watch her food go through. Dinner? Fortunately, she refused, otherwise...

A picture emerged in her mind: He innocently introduced a cute girl next to him and said: "This is my girlfriend, and we are here to apologize to you."

She was a little depressed by this picture and had no intention of eating. She put her lunch box on the table and fell on the bed to sleep.

After a while, she was shaken awake by her roommate, "Hey, when did you draw it?"

She opened her eyes inexplicably and said, "What?"

The roommate excitedly held up the painting in his hand and shouted, "Isn't it you in this painting?"

"What is it?" She took it and looked at it, dumbfounded.

It was a colored pencil sketch. The cherry blossoms on both sides of the road were blooming brilliantly and intensely. Among the pedestrians passing by, she looked back with a smile in the rain of cherry blossoms, which was stunning for a lifetime.

Not only can you tell from the style and color of the clothes that it is the one she wore yesterday, but also her hairstyle, body shape, and eyebrows all look like hers, so it is not difficult to identify it as her.

She wondered: "Where did you find it?"

The roommate stuck out his tongue and said: "I see you're asleep. It's a pity that this lunch box is cold here. Wow, there are so many ribs and fish. It smells so good. So, then, next..., oh, that's right.

, the painting was seen on the bottom of the lunch box, there are so many layers, so many dishes, so many..."

She knocked the chattering foodie over with a pillow and then got up in a hurry. She ran to the lunch box and searched it to make sure there was nothing else. When she looked carefully at the painting in her hand, she saw a small line of writing written in pencil on the back:

All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence.

She looked out the window, the spring scenery was bright and beautiful.

When we met again under the cherry blossom tree, love had already sprouted tender buds, which were growing vigorously under the nourishment of spring wind, rain and dew.

However, how can anything be so perfect? ​​They met in a beautiful season but it was not the right time. It was just two months before the college entrance examination. They both had to face the fierce competition of thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge, but love did not matter.

It comes at will, and is best at taking away calmness and reason.

Therefore, their laxity at the critical moment still made them taste the sweetness of love while feeling the bitter taste of failure.

"What should I do?" she asked, lowering her head.

"It's okay, let's re-study together. If we are well prepared next year, we will definitely be admitted to a good university. We will apply to the same university." At that time, his eyes that were once full of gentleness were replaced by a look of perseverance, but it was even more disturbing.

She was fascinated.

She believed that holding his hand, no matter the twists and turns, there was no need to be afraid of pain. He was her Apollo.

They changed schools to repeat their studies, so that no one knew them, and they were clean. And their grades were already pretty good, so there was not much pressure in the next year. They just checked and filled in the gaps or strengthened the previous knowledge points.

It's relatively easy.

At this time, Ah Shen Jue was released for public testing. He felt that it was too depressing to study in the mountains of books every day, and the low pressure in the repeat class also made people a little breathless, so he started playing games.

Of course she tried to dissuade him, but he was guaranteed to be in the top ten in the next monthly exams, so she let him go. Later, she also entered Ah Shen Jue and was deeply attracted by its wonders, but the pressure of repeating the exam was placed on her.

There, you can only play for one hour a day.

Now think about it, what a wonderful time it was. Although it was short-lived, they were inseparable and supported each other. They had common experiences, common hobbies, and common goals. They also believed that the other was the person who would grow old with them.

.

Time flies, and soon it will be another year of college entrance examination. After the results came out, the two of them got together to discuss: their scores were more than enough to attend an average school, but if they wanted to go to T University, a century-old prestigious school, they would have to attend a preparatory class for a year.

. He took her hand and said: "We have already repeated studies for one year, so why are we afraid of another year of preparatory studies? It is our dream to go to university. Maybe if we miss it this time, we will have a hard time getting the chance. Let's go together."

Of course she nodded. Her Apollo was her guiding light, and she would definitely follow his direction.

Coming from a remote county town to the prosperous capital, they couldn't help but sigh that the outside world was so wonderful. In this city with the highest concentration of rich people in the country, they witnessed the luxurious life of many classmates around them. Of course, part of it was because they thought they had the ability to make money.

, partly because my family gives me generous money, and partly...

He once asked her very seriously: "Do you regret being with me now? If you have such thoughts, I am willing to step aside and let you choose again. After all, there are many people better than me."

She stared at him blankly, her heart full of distress. He who was once so high-spirited, so fearless and even so proud that he was a little arrogant, never expected that he would also have these feelings of inferiority. She didn't say anything, just held her tight.

Hugging him, tears fell down unsatisfactorily.

The courses in the preparatory class were very relaxed, and the two of them played Ah Shen Jue in their free time. Only in that world did they temporarily forget the troubles in reality. It was also at that time that they met Kong Kong Miaoshou, making them a common friend.

The difference is that their equipment is basically bought by themselves or by earning money in the game, while Kong Kong Miaoshou is a typical RMB player. Although he entered Ah Shen Jue later than them, he quickly caught up with their level and equipment.

, so the three of them often fight monsters, level up, and clear dungeons together.

However, the calmness of the virtual world could not isolate the waves in reality. When he saw the boy waiting for her downstairs, holding roses and the latest mobile phone, he dropped the lunch box in his hand without saying a word, and struggled with the boy.

She didn't know it at the time, but later learned that when she rushed there, she saw a mess. When she called him, she heard a mechanical female voice repeating "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off."

It wasn't until night fell that she, who was still waiting blankly on the roadside, saw an approaching shadow not far away. She knew it was him without raising her head, but he didn't come close. He said from a distance: "We are not suitable, or are we?"

Let’s break up.”

After that, she turned around and went back to the dormitory, leaving her standing in the moonlight with a bleak figure, crying silently.

In fact, that boy has been chasing her for a long time, but she has always refused harshly. Who knew that he would run downstairs to express his feelings in such a high-profile way?

In fact, he had known for a long time that someone was chasing her, but he had been paralyzing himself by saying that she had not changed his mind, but after all he could not bear the positive impact of money in the materialistic world. His fragile and sensitive heart was touched, and he could only hurt her with pliers.

Everyone, including her and herself, then retreated into their own shells and licked their wounds quietly.

She was as sad as she was, but still wanted to redeem herself. She waited for him in the game for 3 days and 3 nights, and finally waited for him, only to get the news that he had decided to delete his account. She rushed downstairs to his dormitory desperately, as if she was crazy.

She kept calling his name until he had to appear, but her eyes that were once full of tenderness were replaced by cold gazes, which made her feel like a knife. She held her hand tightly, as if she was holding a stick while drowning.

He asked with a pale face: "Why?"

"tired."

"What makes you feel tired?"

He stared into her eyes again, just like he did in the drizzle and breeze, and she saw his slightly red eyes and slightly hoarse voice: "I'm tired of everything. I pretended to be tired as if nothing had happened, and I numbed myself

I’m tired, and I’m tired of worrying about the future. Even if I was once your Apollo, you will eventually be my Daphne.”

She still couldn't control her tears. She had a thousand words to say, but in the end she just turned around and left silently.

At that time, they were still so young and immature, with weak shoulders and fragile hearts. They were still so unbearable to bear the burden of reality. Their willfulness and fear of the unknown made them instinctively choose to escape.

She also deleted her account, and without him in the world, whether it was real or virtual, she had no direction.

Kongkong Miaoshou didn't know where he got her mobile phone number, so he actually found it. After learning about her situation, he silently accompanied her through those gloomy days without sunshine.

Maybe she was attracted by the warmth of Kong Kong Miaoshou, or maybe they were truly destined. In short, she and Kong Kong Miaoshou gradually came together. Kong Kong Miaoshou gave her a brand new princess-like life experience, his elegant demeanor, and pampering.

Smiling, and of course spending a lot of money, gave her a completely different emotion. Which girl doesn't have a princess dream? Which girl doesn't want to be pampered?

This dormitory was arranged for her by Kongkong Miaoshou, because since she and Kongkong Miaoshou got together, various rumors about her abandoning her ex-boyfriend because she disliked poverty and loved wealth have become more and more intense. The previous dormitory was no longer suitable for her to live in, and she also

Having completed one year of preparatory studies, she could officially enter university, so she followed his decision and moved here.

After the story was told, the four people fell into a brief silence. Perhaps, when they were young and faced with these emotional problems, they didn't know how to make a choice.

In the end, it was Li Xue who spoke first: "Come to think of it, I'm quite interested in that Kong Kong Miao Shou. We've lived together for so long and haven't seen anyone else. Let's treat him to a meal if he has time one day.

, just in time to help you check."

Xiao Jin said: "He is already working. He is usually very busy, and I rarely see him. But since it is my best friend who invited me, he will naturally make time to come. I will tell him in advance what you like to eat.

, to prepare him."

Cheng Bi said with a smile: "No, he is soft-spoken. We agreed to invite him, so that he would not coax him with sugar-coated bullets, and we would all surrender."

Everyone laughed.

Haguli said: "He is so good to you. Did he propose to you? Did he send you a token of love? Once the young men and women in our country make a marriage contract, they will send each other a token of love."

Xiao Jin blushed and said: "How can it be so fast? We are still dating. Besides, we have just entered the freshman year and it is still early to get married."

She thought for a while and then said: "I have given many gifts, but one of them is said to be the emblem of his family, which is very precious."

Li Xue widened her eyes and said: "Family emblem? That's the same concept as a token of love. Who just gives away the family emblem casually? Then you have to investigate it carefully. By the way, by the way, you give that emblem

Let's take a look, I'm very curious, my family doesn't have a emblem, it must be a very big family."

Xiao Jin put on a bath towel and ran to the room to bring a small box and handed it to the three of them. Li Xue took it and opened it. There was a brooch-style emblem inlaid on the lake blue velvet seat. Upon closer inspection, it read,

Xiao Jin explained: "This is the character Liu in gold body, and his surname is Liu."

Cheng Bi heard something in his heart and came over to take a closer look. It was exactly the same as the brooch that Zhao Chen gave him!

That unforgettable day appeared before her eyes again, with corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood. They seemed to be in a purgatory on earth, fear shrouded in every breath of air around them, and the god of death seemed to be floating not far away from them.

Watching quietly, planning to take each of them away at any time.

The hand that had been full of blood stretched out, stuffed a small thing into her hand, and said: "Take this, this is my family emblem. If I die, you have to remember that there was once a person who thought you were better than him."

Life is more important."

That emblem will be imprinted in her eyes, mind, and heart from now on. She will never admit it wrong.

The memory was interrupted by Li Xue's exclamation. Li Xue pointed at the brooch excitedly and said, "Wow, Mogok pigeon blood ruby!"

Cheng Bi asked: "Is this emblem the same for everyone in their family?"

Xiao Jin didn't know why Cheng Bi asked this question, and said: "No, although the content of the emblem is all the word 'Liu' in gold, the materials and bases are different. One of the names will be engraved on it."

characters to show distinction."

Cheng Bi ignored the surprised expressions of the three people, picked up the brooch, turned it over and looked at the base. A small and clear word "曌" came into view. Cheng Bi felt dizzy. She calmed down and asked: "This '曌"

'Does the word mean his seniority or what?"

Xiao Jin said: "No, it's the characters in his name that distinguish him from others."

Li Xue said: "Look how well you know their family, and yet..."

"Then can each person only have one emblem of this kind?" Cheng Bi asked before Li Xue finished speaking.

The other three people were a little surprised by Cheng Bi's behavior, but Xiao Jin still explained: "Not necessarily. If it is lost for some reason, it should be custom-made."

"Ah! Cheng Bi, be careful!" Li Xue quickly caught the emblem that Cheng Bi had almost slipped into the bathtub due to lack of concentration.

Haguli said: "Although this material is not afraid of water and shower gel, it will not be good if it gets dirty."

Li Xue looked at Cheng Bi strangely and said, "Cheng Bi, what's wrong with you? Have you seen this brooch before?"

Cheng Bi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I'm just curious. After all, this kind of family emblem brooch is rare. My hand slipped. I'm sorry, Xiao Jin."

Xiao Jin smiled and said, "It's okay. It's okay even if it falls in. Just wipe it clean. How can I be so stingy?"

Next, Cheng Bi had no intention of continuing to discuss this. Seeing that it was getting late, he went to the bedroom to sleep.

But lying on the bed, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Liu Zhao, what a coincidence? She really didn't have the courage to ask Kong Kong Miaoshou's real name. If it was really Zhao Chen, what should she do?
