She went to sit by the small lake behind the cafeteria alone. Spring was gone and summer was coming, the willows were green and the scenery was pleasant, but she had no intention of admiring it.
It was still early, Wang Donglin might still be sleeping at home, and she didn't want to go back at all.
Intuitively, Wang Donglin came back this time because he came with bad intentions - because he had never been drunk before. He had never been as rough as last night.
What's the point of talking to a drunkard?
I took out the book, but couldn't read anything, so I had to walk around the school aimlessly.
After finally staying up until the afternoon, I picked up my schoolbag and prepared to go back.
On this day, I was in an extremely bad mood and listless. I don't know if it was because I was kept awake all night by Wang Donglin last night or because I thought of those dark and sad past events.
She kicked the pebbles on the road all the way, and a pebble flew into the small lake with a thud. The waves sparkled and the weeping willow in the reflection was shattered into pieces.
"Carefully..."
She raised her head and couldn't believe it. For a moment, she almost choked.
Huang Xiaojue was standing opposite, less than two meters away from each other.
She rubbed her eyes subconsciously, feeling like she was dreaming.
Huang Xiaojue also stared at her. From a distance, he saw her. She still had fluffy hair and only a large jeans and T-shirt. Her hair covered half of her face, and she couldn't see any beauty at all.
He suddenly remembered that autumn many years ago, he was also here, and he saw the girl in jeans kicking pebbles into the lake with a worried look.
He would never forget the moment she raised her head, her hair blown open by the wind, revealing a pair of incredibly bright eyes.
As if yesterday happened again, his breathing suddenly became rapid, he strode forward and grabbed her hand in one fell swoop.
Her hands were cold and without any warmth.
Yan Xixi stammered: "Xiaojue... Xiaojue... why is it you..."
He took a long breath and couldn't hide the excitement in his voice: "Xixi Xi... I have been asking for a long time, and it turns out that you have gone back to school again..."
After searching countless streets and asking countless people, it turned out that she went in and out of places he was most familiar with every day but would never have thought of.
"I... Wang Donglin helped me find the relationship..."
Huang Xiaojue dejectedly let go of her hand and took a step back, his eyes flashing with incredible shock and anger. But this anger soon became weak, and his voice trembled slightly: "Xixi... are you okay?"
"I...I'm okay..."
Yan Xixi didn't realize that her voice was trembling slightly, and she had no place to put her hands and feet. After a long while, she stammered: "You...Xiaojue, what about you? How are you?"
"I am fine too……"
"How are you doing at home?"
"It's good to be at home."
The air seems to have been frozen, and the dialogue is redundant, cumbersome, and meaningless.
However, other than that, the two of them had no other topics to talk about. They both lowered their heads and stared at each other's shoes.
After a while, Huang Xiaojue raised his head and said softly: "I'm leaving."
"I...it's time for me to go."
She strode away in a panic. After a few steps, she stepped on a pebble and stumbled, almost falling. However, she only managed to steady herself and ran away without looking back.
Huang Xiaojue kept watching her back disappear. In front of her, the sunset had already set, and her reflection was reflected in the lake like blood.
