Chapter 7 The Longest Movie three
He said, "It's like, you've been the heroine for a very long movie, and I'm just an extra without even a name. How can the heroine understand the extras? But, what does it matter? In the past, I tried my best to stay in this longest movie, because I wanted to see the ending about you. Now, I roughly know what that ending will be like..."
"So, Song Xihe!" He suddenly called my name, his dark eyes fixed on me, with a frighteningly bright smile on his face, "We'll say goodbye here. Tomorrow, I'll go through the transfer procedures."
I stood there, my mind a mess. I had no idea what movie he was talking about. The only thing I remembered was that he said he would go to complete the transfer procedures tomorrow.
I asked him in a daze: "Where are you going?"
"Where are you going?" He turned his head and smiled calmly, "Of course I'm going back to Baisha School to be my leading man."
"But……"
But, didn’t you say you would take me back to Baisha School?
I was anxious to keep him, but my reason stopped me as soon as the words came out of my mouth - wouldn't it be more beneficial for me to implement my plan if the only person who knew my secret left here?
My mind told me that I should cheer, but when I thought of him saying, "It's so lonely without you to share the spotlight," I suddenly felt a little choked up.
"Why? You came here with my secret after so much trouble. You must have a purpose, right? Now you are leaving before you achieve your goal. Are you giving up?"
I clearly wanted to keep him, but as soon as I said it, it turned out like this. I thought that even if my body turned into "Song Hexue", my heart would still be a "Song Xihe" heart, stubborn, obstinate and too proud. I could only say those hypocritical words to keep him that others could not understand.
But Hua Ziyin understood.
He turned around and smiled at me: " Are you trying to keep me?"
I didn't know how to answer him, so I just lowered my head and kept silent. In my opinion, such silence was a tacit agreement.
"Xihe!" Hua Ziyin smiled bitterly, "If you want me to stay, you have to give me a reason to stay."
"Reason?" I was probably too anxious, so I asked without thinking, "Didn't you always enjoy using my secrets to blackmail me?"
"Me? Enjoying the pleasure of threatening you?" Hua Ziyin looked at me without blinking, his slender eyes full of sadness, but in a flash, he smiled, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows could not hide the unrestrained smile.
I suspect I must have seen it wrong just now.
"You are absolutely right." He said with a smile, "But now I feel that it is not fun to use your secret to blackmail you, so I will go back to Baisha School to find new fun."
Is that so?
I was stunned and speechless.
"Hexue, what are you talking about? What secret?" I suddenly heard Xiaoyuan's weak voice. I turned around abruptly and saw Xiaoyuan who had sat up and was looking at me and Hana Ziyin with a puzzled look on her face.
"Oh, we were just talking about that..." I hurried over, put my hand on Xiaoyuan's forehead, and lied without blushing, "After we get down the mountain safely, each of us has to tell you a wish that we have kept secret in our hearts. It's like we've been through life and death together, so we have to share."
"A wish." Xiao Yuan looked at Hanako Yin with bright eyes, "He Xue, when I was feeling very uncomfortable just now, I was thinking, are there some wishes that can never be fulfilled? I thought I was going to die..."
"Nonsense!" I interrupted her, "Look, aren't you fine now?"
Xiaoyuan's fever had subsided a little, and she was more energetic. I helped her sit up. Fearing that she would catch a cold again, I hugged her tightly from behind, but as soon as my arms touched her warm body, I immediately jumped away.
When I was talking to Hanako Yin just now , I didn't feel cold at all. Now that I touched Xiao Yuan's warm body, I realized how cold I was. I was afraid that my cold body would take away her warmth, so I quickly let go of Xiao Yuan.
"What's wrong? Hexue?" Xiaoyuan looked at me, then looked at herself, and slowly understood something.
Her eyes were red and she quickly took off her clothes for me.
"No, no!" I quickly stopped her, "I'm not cold at all, really."
To prove my point, I took a deep breath, rolled up my T-shirt sleeves, clenched my fists and said, "It's not cold at all. You know, we fat people have a lot of fat and store a lot of calories, so we are the most resistant to cold..."
I kept talking and talking, but Xiaoyuan just stared at me blankly, her eyes slowly becoming moist.
"I'm really fine..." Before I could finish my words, Hua Ziyin, who had been standing beside me, suddenly walked over and sat down behind me, with her back against mine.
Madoka looked at Hanako Yin in surprise.
I hurriedly changed the subject in a panic: "Why don't we talk about what we want now?"
I was a little flustered because I was the only one who knew why Hua Ziyin came over to sit with his back to me. If I guessed correctly, he was using his back, the only part that was not wet, to silently pass on his body temperature to me.
Instantly, it seemed as if a trace of warmth spread from my back. I know that maybe it was just my illusion, the only thing I can be sure of is that at this moment, my heart seemed to have a little sun, warming all the cold corners of my heart.
I suddenly had an illusion that maybe, from the beginning, I was wrong. Hua Ziyin's purpose of coming to Binghui School was not to threaten me with my secret.
But what is his real purpose?
