Chapter 8 I like the warmth of his embrace
Friday, May 18th, sunny
The happiness in our hands,
Is it easy to get lost?
Weiwei cried and begged Jingsen not to break up,
She lost her happiness!
Xu Yi's happiness,
In his sparkling music.
so……
I decided,
From then on,
Let me silently protect him and his dreams!
"I came back this time just to participate in this competition with the FLY band. I hope that through my own efforts, the FLY band can become popular throughout Asia!"
"Xia Ya, since Che Ye is back, I think I should leave too. In fact, I am the one who shouldn't show up. Haha, but I believe Che Ye will take good care of Xia Ya and make Xia Ya happy!"
Xu Yi's firm voice was heard in the thick fog.
I wanted to open my mouth to ask him to stay, but no syllable came out of my throat.
"Boom..." A huge crack suddenly appeared on the ground between us, making a sharp roar.
"No!" I jumped out of bed and found the alarm clock ringing non-stop.
It's impossible for Xu Yi and I to be together...
I sat on the bed in a daze until the alarm rang again. I hurriedly got up, washed up, and rushed to school.
Before I reached the classroom door, a familiar voice came into my ears.
"I don't want to break up! I don't want to break up even if I die!"
I took a few quick steps and saw Weiwei holding onto Jingsen tightly, her eyes red and swollen from crying.
At this time, the classroom door was already surrounded by people in three layers inside and outside.
"Weiwei, I've made it very clear, we're over!" Jing Sen looked impatient, "I hate girls who cling to me the most!"
"Don't break up, please, Jingsen, I really love you!" Weiwei's eyes were red, and she held Jingsen tightly with her hands, who looked disgusted.
"Are you annoying?" Jingsen's face was full of anger and he pushed Weiwei away forcefully.
Seeing the scene in front of me, my brain got hot, and I rushed over to support Weiwei, looking at Jingsen angrily: "Why did you break up with her? Just because of that girl that day? Do you know how much Weiwei loves you? Are you doing this to Weiwei?"
Weiwei's face was covered with tears and she looked at me in surprise.
"Am I the kind of person who would delay important things for a woman?" Jingsen smiled proudly, "If our band KING can win the campus band competition, we can get a contract with a well-known record company in Asia!"
A well-known record company in Asia?
It should be the company that Xu Yi mentioned...
"Jingsen, let's not break up, okay? I will work with you to win the game." Weiwei still looked at Jingsen without giving up.
"Qi Weiwei, do you understand? I may become a star in the future, so how can I still be with you? If you really love me, you shouldn't selfishly block my bright future!" Jing Sen said coldly.
Weiwei lowered her head and remained silent.
"Jingsen, shouldn't you be working together to realize your dreams? How could she stand in the way of your bright future?" I accused him angrily.
"Are you kidding me? Do you know that a small flaw could ruin this contract? Let's work together?" Jing Sen raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically and emphasized his tone, "Then you should look for Xu Yi more often, work hard with him, create more surprises for him, and it would be best if he doesn't participate in this competition. I think you have the ability to hold him back!"
Jingsen's words were like a whole bottle of vinegar poured into my heart, making me feel sour and bitter.
"Jing Sen, you want to beat Xu Yi? You're dreaming!" I had forgotten that I was originally trying to help Wei Wei. "As long as Xu Yi is here, you, the KING band, will never have a chance!"
"Ye Xiya, you!" After hearing what I said, Jing Sen's face was covered with dark clouds and he glared at me fiercely.
Weiwei looked at Jingsen desperately, then rushed out of the crowd and ran towards the school gate...
After the heroine of the farce left, the crowd slowly dispersed.
However, Jingsen still glared at me angrily, with no intention of leaving at all.
"Ye Xiya, I'm warning you!" Jing Sen cornered me and pinched my chin with his hand. "You'd better not meddle in other people's business. Be clear about what you should and shouldn't say!"
A sharp pain came!
I wanted to struggle, but Jingsen held me down tightly.
"Let her go!"
A voice with suppressed anger came into my ears.
"Is bullying girls the only thing you are capable of?" Cheye came over, grabbed Jingsen's wrist and exerted force. Jingsen's face changed in pain, and he let me go with a frown.
Cheye stood in front of me like a mountain: "Last time on the playground, I remember you were defeated by me. Jingsen, listen to me, if you want to fight, I'm here to accompany you anytime!"
Jing Sen's face turned pale for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. In the end, he said nothing, but just glared at me and left.
Cheye turned around and looked down at my chin: "Idiot, when you help others, please consider yourself first."
His tone was as gentle as the warm breeze in April, and there seemed to be bright stars twinkling in his eyes.
I looked at Cheye's profile and nodded mechanically: "Oh."
"Oh what? Idiot, it's time for class." Cheye suddenly grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the classroom.
I lay on my seat with my head under my hands, watching the teacher with empty eyes waving his hands in front of the podium and passionately explaining the structure of molecules. My thoughts fell into a swamp of sadness.
The words that Jing Sen just said echoed in my mind over and over again...
"If you really love me, you shouldn't selfishly block my bright future!"
"Do you know that a small flaw could ruin this contract?"
"Then you should look for Xu Yi more often, work harder with him, and create more surprises for him. It would be best if you don't let him participate in this competition. I think you have the ability to hold him back!"
When I said loudly that Jing Sen could pursue his dream with Wei Wei, I was actually thinking of Xu Yi deep in my heart, right? I still had a glimmer of hope - maybe we can work hard for the future together.
But if a tiny flaw could ruin this contract, then I...
"Xia, hey, are you distracted again?" Chinatsu shook me vigorously a few times, "Be careful, the teacher will call your name again!"
"Chinatsu, you know what? If the FLY band can win the campus band competition this time, they can get a contract with a famous Asian record company." My voice was full of disappointment.
"Really?" Qianxia stopped copying her notes, "Did Xu Yi tell you?"
"Yeah. He said that he hopes to make the FLY band famous throughout Asia through his own efforts!" I rubbed my eyes gently. I don't know why, but my eyes hurt whenever I thought of Xu Yi's words.
"Is that all Xu Yi told you?" Qianxia looked at me with her chin supported.
"He, he said he believed Cheye would take good care of me, and that he believed that I would be happy with Cheye!"
"What?" Qianxia suddenly raised her voice, "Did Xu Yi get his head stuck in the door? He actually asked you to be with Yuan Cheye, is he kidding me? The school's 520 confession day is coming up in a few days, Xiya, are you really not going to try again?"
"Well! If you like someone, you should make him happier... I won't confess to him again. I just want to like him silently... and bless him from afar." It took me a lot of effort to finish this sentence.
Xu Yi, you always protected me before, now it’s my turn to protect your happiness and dreams!
"You, you two..." Chinatsu seemed to want to say something but didn't continue. "Oh, forget it. You two are both big idiots!" After she said that, she continued to take notes seriously.
In a daze, the day passed.
I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, and my eyes fell on the pair of dolls that Chen had given me on the desk.
I have already told Chen about Che Ye's return, but I have not told him about Xu Yi's return. I don't know how to tell Chen about the cultural festival.
I took my phone and finally dialed Chen's number.
"Xia, why haven't you slept yet?" Chen's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Chen... I don't know what to do now."
"Hehe, what happened to our Xia again?"
Listening to Chen's voice, I seemed to see Chen standing in front of me with a smile on his face.
I held the phone and told Chen everything about Che Ye's confession to me and everything that happened after Xu Yi came back.
After saying this, I felt a lot more relaxed. Fortunately, I had Chen. No matter what was on my mind, he would listen to me patiently.
"Xia, you have made up your mind, right?" Chen seems to always know what I am thinking.
"Um……"
"Since Xia has made up her mind, she must stick to it!" Chen encouraged me in a low voice, "I know Xia has grown up and can face anything bravely!"
I know what I should do, but I really can't bear to leave Xu Yi.
"Xia, do you remember the message I sent you before I left?" Chen paused, "No matter what happens, remember to be firm in your heart."
I held the phone tightly: "Chen, thank you. I know what to do."
After I hung up the phone, I realized it was almost ten o'clock.
I looked out the window. There was not a single star in the dark night sky, as deep as the sea at night.
Xu Yi, from now on, I will bury my love for you deep in my heart!
From now on, I will just watch you silently!
You must succeed and you must be happy!
Sunday, May 20 Sunny to cloudy
Have you ever had such a moment?
When you look at someone seriously,
But you find that person doesn't have you in his eyes.
If that person is someone you like,
How would you feel?
Xu Yi's eyes could not see me.
This feeling,
It was like the heart had stopped beating.
There are huge clouds of various shapes floating in the azure sky. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the clouds and gently falls on the earth.
As soon as I walked into the school, I felt a strange atmosphere and everyone had an excited smile on their face.
I don't know why, but even the air is filled with a wonderful sweet scent.
It wasn’t until I walked into the school playground and saw the banners and balloons hanging on the playground that I knew the reason.
It turns out that today is the annual 520 Confession Day!
According to tradition, on Confession Day, everyone can confess their love to anyone they like.
"Xia!" Following a pleasant voice, Chinatsu's face, as delicate as a porcelain doll, appeared in front of me.
"Good morning, Chinatsu."
Chinatsu came over and put her hand on my shoulder, looking at me with a smirk on her face: "Today is confession day! Who are you going to confess to?"
I smiled bitterly. Who else could I confess to except Xu Yi? But now I could only bury my love for him in my heart.
"Xia, what's wrong with you?" Qianxia saw that I didn't say anything and asked with concern.
"It's okay." I smiled at Chinatsu, then teased her playfully, "You'd better be prepared to be confessed to by boys. Chinatsu is so beautiful, there will definitely be a lot of boys confessing to you."
"That's impossible! Didn't that guy Yuan Cheye say that my deeds have spread throughout the school? Haha." Qianxia said as she put her arm around my shoulder and walked towards the classroom, "Aren't they afraid of my over-the-shoulder throw? Haha..."
I listened to Qianxia's exaggerated laughter and was speechless...
As soon as I walked into the classroom, I saw many girls surrounding Cheye's seat, and they were all vying to give gifts to Cheye.
"Cheye, I like you, go out with me!"
"Don't date her, I like you more!"
"Cheye, I like you the most!"
"Cheye, please consider dating me!"
…
These girls are from our class as well as other classes. It seems that Cheye is really popular. So many people have confessed to him that they have occupied all the seats around him, and Chinatsu and I are not spared.
"Those girls are so blind that they actually like Yuan Cheye!" Qianxia curled her lips in disapproval.
"Qianxia, actually Cheye is a really nice guy!" I explained for Cheye with a smile.
"It has nothing to do with me anyway!" Qianxia said as she walked over and shouted to the girls, "Hey, hey, hey, you guys are occupying our seats. If you want to confess, call Yuan Cheye out and don't disturb others here."
Because of what Chinatsu said, the girls who were confessing their love stopped and looked at her. The originally noisy classroom suddenly became much quieter.
"Sorry, sorry." I walked over and explained sheepishly, "Class is about to start. If you still want to confess to Cheye, please wait until after class."
"Idiot." Cheye suddenly walked out of the crowd, then walked straight to me and looked at me straight.
His brown eyes shone with a star-like light, and were so gentle that they seemed about to overflow.
I seemed to realize what was going to happen next and tried to escape in panic.
“Bang!”
But Cheye instantly grabbed my arm and pulled me back forcefully.
He looked at me lovingly, his golden hair shining like the sun: "You don't have to come after class, because I already have someone I like."
"ah?"
"Che Ye already has someone he likes?"
"Who is who? Who is so happy?"
After the crowd became noisy again, it suddenly became quiet again, and everyone was waiting for Cheye's answer.
The breeze blew gently into the classroom, and the air was filled with the pleasant scent of roses...
"Ye Xiya, I like you."
“Wow——”
It was like a drop of water splashing into a pot of boiling oil. In an instant, the surroundings were in chaos and countless people looked at us with wide eyes, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.
"It's impossible. Yuan Cheye actually confessed to Ye Xiya!"
"What on earth did Ye Xiya use to make Yuan Cheye confess to her!"
…
I bit my lip, lowered my head to avoid Cheye's firm gaze, and then slowly pulled my arm out of his hand.
The sunlight pouring in from the window seemed to have no temperature at this moment. It was just like a thin layer of golden gauze, and it was becoming thinner and thinner.
"Sorry--" Under everyone's gaze, I turned around, walked through the crowd, and sat down in my seat.
When I finished speaking, I saw everyone's surprised expressions.
I know that everyone thinks this is impossible, even I think it is impossible.
“Ding Ling Ling——”
The bell for class finally rang, and the onlookers slowly left at the urging of the bell. I lay on the desk, not wanting anyone to see my expression.
"Xia, are you okay?" Chinatsu asked softly in my ear.
"I'm fine." I shook my head at Chinatsu. I just felt very guilty that I hurt Cheye again.
If I reject him in front of so many people, he will definitely lose face and be very angry...
"Idiot." Che Ye's voice sounded above his head.
I looked up at him. There was a hint of a smile on his face, and he was obviously not angry. “Haha, thank you for showing up and helping me drive away those girls. I was almost annoyed to death.”
"Cheye..." I looked at him stupidly, but couldn't say a word.
The whole day, the classmates' confessions were in full swing, and Cheye continued to receive many confessions from girls, but he did not accept any of them.
As for Chinatsu, she really threw the first person who confessed to her over her shoulder, causing no one to dare to confess to her anymore.
And of course, no one confessed to me.
The atmosphere is very good throughout the day. It is really a wonderful thing to like someone. If you like someone, you will tolerate everything about the other person and share his or her joys and sorrows.
It seems like the school is filled with love today ...
But I lay on my desk the whole day without any energy. Ryonan’s confession day must be going on in full swing.
Xu Yi is usually so popular, so there will definitely be a lot of people confessing to him today.
Then...will he agree?
Because I kept thinking about this question, I didn't react even when Chinatsu pinched my face hard.
It wasn't until Chinatsu pulled me up from my seat, stuffed my schoolbag into my hand, and led me out that I came to my senses.
"Chinatsu, what are we going to do? Where are you taking me?" Chinatsu dragged me towards the school gate.
"Skipping classes and going to Ryonan." Chinatsu answered my question concisely.
As soon as I heard the word "Ryonan", I tightly grasped the guardrail beside the school flower bed: "I don't want to, I don't want to go to Ryonan to confess. Chinatsu, I will never go to Ryonan to confess anyway."
Chinatsu looked at me speechlessly: "Who said I was going to take you to Ryonan to confess? I noticed that you were absent-minded all day. In that case, let's go to Ryonan to take a look!"
"Are you really not going to ask me to confess?" I looked at Chinatsu uncertainly.
"Oh, don't worry! Can I force you to do this?"
My hands that were tightly holding the guardrail finally loosened. In fact, I admit that I really wanted to go to Lingnan to take a look.
I really want to see Xu Yi.
When Chinatsu and I arrived at Ryonan, we heard our classmates discussing what happened today. Their conversation just froze me in my tracks, and I couldn't recover for a long time.
"Did you know? The school beauty Miori confessed her love to Xu Yi!"
"Yeah, I heard that Xu Yi seemed to agree."
"Nonsense, Xu Yi didn't agree."
"She clearly agreed! And Miori is Xu Yi's fiancé!"
…
Engagement partner?
I suddenly remembered the conversation I heard in the hospital when Xu Yi became blind. Could it be that Mizhi is Xu Yi’s fiancée?
Are the two of them... together?
It felt like Chinese medicine had been spilled in my heart, so bitter that my heart tightened.
"Xia!" Chinatsu suddenly put her hand on my shoulder and looked at me seriously, "Don't let your imagination run wild. This is definitely not true!"
Looking into Chinatsu's eyes, I said nothing.
There are more and more clouds in the sky, which have completely blocked the sunlight, and the light is getting dimmer and dimmer.
Just as we were about to move forward, Xu Yi appeared in our sight.
Also appearing with him was Ryonan's school beauty, Miori.
The two of them walked towards us, talking and laughing. I don’t know what Xu Yi said, but Meizhi gently hit Xu Yi. Xu Yi rubbed Meizhi’s hair and smiled gently at her.
Even without sunshine, the two of them standing together are as dazzling as the sunshine.
This is it - I bit my lower lip tightly - the golden boy and girl!
Judging from their intimacy, the rumor I heard at the school gate just now must be true...
A sour feeling emerged from the bottom of my heart and flowed through my body along with the blood.
"Chinatsu..." I grabbed Chinatsu's hand and prepared to turn around, "Let's go!"
"No!" Qianxia held my hand stubbornly, not letting me move a step. "This must be a misunderstanding. Let's go and find out."
"No need..." Seeing Xu Yi and Mizhi getting closer and closer, I panicked and wanted to disappear immediately. It would be very awkward to meet them at this time!
"Xia, Chinatsu!" While Chinatsu and I were arguing, Xu Yi and Miori had already walked in front of us.
"You are Xu Yi's friends, right?" Mizhi smiled sweetly at us, took out a few peach-shaped chocolates from her bag and handed them to us, "Here are some chocolates for you to eat. To celebrate my successful confession."
Chinatsu glanced at Miori coldly, did not take the chocolate, and looked straight at Xu Yi.
Miori looked at Chinatsu in confusion, her hand holding the chocolate stopped in mid-air, not knowing what to do.
I looked at Miori's delicate and beautiful face, took all the chocolates from her hand, and said with all my strength, smiling: "Bless you!"
Qianxia suddenly walked to the opposite side of Xu Yi, looked at him with complicated eyes, and her face was full of seriousness: "Xu Yi, what is going on?"
After hearing what Qianxia said, my eyes also fell on Xu Yi.
Under our gaze, Xu Yi's expression did not change. No emotion could be seen on his face, but his lips were tightly closed and he did not utter a word.
The wind blew gently, and the hair on his forehead swayed gently in the breeze. His eyes like black gemstones were always staring at Miori, not paying any attention to me.
My heart seemed to have stopped beating at this moment, and I felt nothing...
I took one last look at him, turned around, raised my feet, and ran out of the school gate with all my strength...
I couldn't hear anything, I couldn't see anything, the only thing left in my mind was the scene just now - Xu Yi was looking at Mizhi tenderly, as if he couldn't see me...
I ran forward with all my strength, my tears flowing more and more...
Xu Yi, is there no me in your eyes anymore?
Is this really the case?
But why do I still hold hope for you in my heart and still feel that this is not true?
Monday, May 21, sunny
Things are different, people are different, the world has changed,
Time is the most powerful weapon.
Overthrows everything it wants to change.
When the same people stand in similar places,
Those feelings in the past have long disappeared in the torrent of time.
Lost the love of the past.
The sun is particularly bright today, and the sky is as blue and clean as a sapphire.
However, my heart is filled with dark clouds and there is not a trace of sunshine.
The scene of Xu Yi and Meizhi together yesterday kept replaying in my mind over and over again, like a movie with the replay button pressed.
The overwhelming sense of loss completely consumed me.
I lay on my desk listlessly for the whole day, not able to muster any energy at all.
I was in a state of absent-mindedness until school was over.
"Xia, are you okay?" Chinatsu looked at me worriedly with her schoolbag on her back.
"I'm fine!" I gave Chinatsu a bright smile as I packed my bag.
Chinatsu was not reassured by my smile. Instead, she frowned: “Ah…Xia, you make me worried.”
"I'm really fine!" I continued to smile brightly at Chinatsu.
"Okay." Xia looked at me helplessly, "I'm going to the library to get a book. See you at the school gate later."
"Um."
After Chinatsu left, I packed my schoolbag and walked out slowly. The bright smile just now disappeared from my face after Chinatsu left.
Xu Yi and Meizhi should be very happy together, right?
It’s enough that he is happy, why am I so sad?
Didn’t I always say that as long as he was happy, that was all that mattered?
However, whenever I think of the scene with him and Miori, I feel so sad. This feeling is simply beyond my control.
"Ye, Xi, Ya!" A sharp voice suddenly came into my ears.
I looked up and found that five or six girls appeared in front of me at some point. They surrounded me, each with a look of contempt on their face.
"Is there anything wrong?" I looked at them and asked politely.
"I heard that our Prince Cheye confessed to you yesterday?" One of the girls in black tights looked at me fiercely.
"This...this..." I hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to answer.
"What's this? Are you stuttering?" the girl yelled at me impatiently.
I lowered my head and responded with silence.
"Ye Xiya, weren't you always with Lingnan's Xu Yi before? Now that Cheye is back, you come to provoke our Prince Cheye again. What do you mean?"
"Yeah! Aren't you too shameless? You fall in love with every girl you meet!"
"But my friend in Lingnan said that Xu Yi and Meizhi are together."
"Retribution! She must have been abandoned by Xu Yi. No wonder she's pestering our Prince Cheye!"
…
The group of girls started to ridicule me.
I lowered my head, not knowing what to say.
But when they said Xu Yi's name, the sadness in their hearts suddenly increased countless times. A torrential rain fell from their dark clouds...
Yeshiya, stay strong!
“Buzz——”
As the engine sound got closer, a familiar motorcycle came towards us, and then with a "squeak", it stopped in front of us.
On the motorcycle, a blond-haired boy looked at the group of girls in front of me with an unhappy expression.
Cheye? Why is he here?
"Places with a lot of girls are annoying." Cheye got off the car and walked over, frowning at the group of girls, "Yes, I like Ye Xiya. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly now."
"Cheye..." The girl in the "tights" wanted to say something to Cheye, but was glared back by Cheye with a cold look.
"I'm warning you!" Cheye's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, "Ye Xiya is the girl I like, don't let me see you bullying her again!"
"Cheye..." I tugged at the corner of Cheye's clothes, trying to persuade him not to be so angry.
But he held my hand tightly and I couldn't pull it out.
He pulled me to the side of the motorcycle, then put down my hand and handed me a pink helmet: "Put it on and get on."
"I..." I wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Che Ye.
"Hurry up and get in the car. You don't want me to be punished by the dean, do you?"
After listening to Cheye's words, I quickly put on my helmet and quickly climbed onto the back seat of the motorcycle.
As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I saw Chinatsu who had been waiting for me.
As soon as Cheye stopped the car, Qianxia walked up to us and said, "Yuan Cheye, where are you taking Xiya?"
"Don't bother me!" Cheye said in a cool manner, "I won't sell her anyway!"
Just as I was about to get off Cheye's motorcycle, Chinatsu suddenly held me down.
"Xia, you and Cheye should go for a ride. Haha, I just happen to have something else to do."
Qianxia looked at Cheye deeply and said, "Take her out for a walk. Remember to send her back."
"Yeah!" Che Ye nodded and quickly started the motorcycle.
The scenery on both sides of the road quickly receded and the sound of wind whistled in my ears.
"Cheye, why do you want me to get in the car?"
"Because when you are in a bad mood, speeding will drive away all the sadness in your heart!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, idiot!"
The street lights shine down from both sides, and those gentle lights are like warm breezes, blowing through my heart.
The sadness in my heart seemed to have slowly diminished.
I put my arms around Cheye's waist, feeling the warmth coming from him, and silently said thank you to him in my heart.
Xu Yi's face appeared involuntarily in my mind, and my thoughts about him immediately flooded back.
How nice it would be if the person I was hugging right now was Xu Yi...
When Cheye stopped the motorcycle, the sky was already pitch black, and the velvety night sky was filled with bright and dazzling stars.
He took me to the top of the mountain. I got off the motorcycle and sat on the grass, letting the night breeze gently brush my cheeks and feeling the tranquility of the night with all my heart.
Cheye stood in front of me with his back to me, his golden hair dancing in the night wind, his whole body shrouded in a hazy halo. I don't know why, but looking at Cheye's back, a strange feeling passed through my heart.
"Cheye, what are you looking at?" I walked over and stood beside him.
Che Ye turned his head to look at me. His familiar features and expression made me feel much more relaxed.
"Xia, look down!" Cheye smiled and motioned me to look down.
"So beautiful." I said softly.
The night view of the entire city is now in my sight. Countless lights are flickering, and the warm light seems to spread all the way to the horizon and then connect with the entire starry sky, as if the whole world is filled with warmth.
From several buildings, several huge beams of light came out, swaying towards the night sky, as if pointing the way for people who were lost in the city.
When my sight fell on a bright light in the city, I pointed there and smiled: "Cheye, do you remember? That is the most magnificent Guangjing Bridge here!"
This is the second time that Cheye and I have watched this beautiful night view. I remember that last year, Cheye and I watched the night view once, and I confessed to him at that time, but he rejected me.
Time flies, things have changed and people have changed. The scenery and people of the past are still there, but the emotions in our hearts have undergone irreversible changes.
Cheye listened to what I said and said nothing, remaining silent.
Suddenly, brilliant fireworks ignited in the sky on one side of the city. Each firework was like a midnight ephemeral cereus, trying its best to show the world its most beautiful appearance.
The splendor and warmth of the fireworks instantly shook my heart, and the sadness in my heart was dispelled a lot by the scene at that moment.
"Idiot." Cheye's voice gently penetrated my ears.
I turned my head to look at him, and his eyes were reflected with the light of fireworks, surging and sparkling.
"Xia, even if you don't accept me, I will always stay by your side!"
Cheye's words were blown far away by the night wind, blooming and disappearing in the sky along with the fireworks, then blooming again after disappearing...
Neither of us spoke anymore and just stood on the grass watching the fireworks in the distance.
I glanced at Cheye's profile from the corner of my eye and said silently in my heart, Cheye, I'm sorry, thank you...
The fireworks in the distance are blooming more brilliantly and dazzlingly...
Wednesday, May 30th, sunny
I can let him go and pursue his brightest dream.
But I wasn't prepared.
We become the most familiar strangers.
I never thought that
One day,
He'll be with other girls.
Happily appeared before me.
At this moment,
I really can't say the four words "I wish you happiness"!
The campus was filled with a thin white mist in the early morning, and the light sunlight shone through the mist. The leaves on the roadside rustled briskly in the breeze.
I took a deep breath of the fresh morning air.
Such fresh air can relieve the depression in my heart a little bit!
Ten days have passed since the confession day!
The sadness piling up in my heart gradually fermented and was about to drown me!
I sighed softly and walked quickly into the classroom.
As soon as I entered the classroom, I saw Weiwei lying on the desk with a haggard look on her face.
Ever since she broke up with Jingsen, she often skipped classes without reason, and even when she was in school, she always looked listless.
"Weiwei!" I hesitated for a moment, but still walked to her desk. "You haven't been to class often recently. Are you okay?"
Weiwei turned her head and looked at me, stunned for a moment: "Ye Xiya, do you want to laugh at me?" She replied to me unhappily.
"No, Vivi, I'm really worried about you." I continued to stand in front of her desk despite Vivi's indifferent attitude.
"I've done so many things to hurt you, yet you're still so kind as to care about me?" Weiwei looked disdainful, "Don't pretend to be a good person in front of me, Ye Xiya, you know, it's this kind of you that makes people hate you!" After saying that, Weiwei turned her head away and stopped looking at me.
For the whole morning, I felt very uncomfortable when I thought of Weiwei and myself. I finally made it to noon, but I had no appetite at all and continued to lie on the table in a daze.
I don’t know how long it was before a bag of sushi appeared in front of me.
"Ye Xiya, can you please be more promising and eat quickly!" Qianxia pinched my face hard with her hands, "No matter how unhappy you are, you still have to eat, right? Let's go, wash your hands and eat."
After saying that, Chinatsu dragged me up from my seat and took me to the bathroom.
"When I came back just now, I saw that guy Yuan Cheye was so arrogant that he actually rode his motorcycle right past the principal. Didn't you see the principal's look? He almost wanted to kill someone." Qianxia's exaggerated expression made me smile.
"Haha, not bad, you still know how to laugh, so there should be hope." Qianxia suddenly stopped and said, "Xia, how can I leave without worry if you are always like this!"
Well?
"Chinatsu, where are you going?" I turned to look at Chinatsu in confusion.
"Haha, no, I mean, how can I feel at ease with you like this?"
Seeing Chinatsu's concerned look, I felt a surge of warmth in my heart. I smiled at Chinatsu and pushed open the bathroom door.
As soon as I walked into the bathroom, I saw Weiwei standing in front of the mirror with her back to us, her shoulders shaking and her eyes swollen from crying.
"Weiwei, you..."
Before I could finish my words, Weiwei pushed me away and rushed out.
I instinctively wanted to chase after her, but Qianxia held me back: "Xia, if you chase after her now, she will just think you are making fun of her. You should wait until she is more stable!"
Chinatsu is right. If I chase her now, Weiwei will definitely think I am making fun of her.
"Xia, actually, Vivi is quite pitiful. People say that there must be something hateful about pitiful people, and they probably mean people like her." Qianxia washed her face and said to me seriously.
Huh?
"Chinatsu, something's wrong with you today. Why don't you hate Weiwei suddenly?" I asked curiously.
Qianxia was silent for a moment, her tone was calm and without any emotion: "What's there to hate? Anyway, I won't see her again in the future!"
"Huh? Why can't we see each other? We have classes together every day!"
Chinatsu is so weird today!
"Let's go and eat!" Chinatsu didn't answer my question, but directly pulled me towards the classroom.
The red sunset painted the earth with a warm orange color, and the breeze blowing towards me had a faint fragrance of flowers. I tried to smile, but I was still a little depressed.
Before I reached the school gate, I saw a familiar figure wandering around the school gate from afar.
Eh? Isn't that Ajie?
I quickly ran over and patted his shoulder gently: "Ajie! Why are you here? Don't you have to rehearse today?"
When Ajie saw me, his expression looked a little unnatural and he turned around as if he wanted to leave.
"Ajie, wait." I took a few quick steps to block Ajie. "In Yifeng, besides Weiwei and me, you don't know anyone else! Are you here to look for Weiwei?"
"How, how is that possible! We have already broken up, why should I come to find her?" Ajie quickly denied what I said.
Seeing that he looked extremely nervous, I didn't ask any further questions.
"Ajie, have you been busy rehearsing recently?" I paused for a few seconds and asked the question that concerned me, "How is Xu Yi doing recently?"
"Him..." Ajie's eyes were filled with confusion. "I don't know what happened. He hasn't been in good shape in rehearsal recently. He even sang the wrong tune yesterday!"
"Ah? How could this happen? Is something wrong with him?" I asked nervously.
"He said he's a little tired lately!" Ajie shrugged and answered me, "Xia, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
"Yeah." I nodded at Ajie, my thoughts still immersed in what he had just said.
I have known Xu Yi for such a long time, and I have never heard Xu Yi sing a wrong tune. Music has always been the most important thing to him! Could something really have happened?
After Ajie left, I immediately took out my cell phone from my schoolbag, but when I thought about what Miori said that day, I hesitated again.
"Why are you hesitating? Just fight if you want to!" Chinatsu beside me encouraged me.
"But...if I call Xu Yi, will it affect him and Miori? It would be bad if it caused misunderstandings between them."
"Ye Xiya, can you stop thinking about others in everything?" Qianxia curled her lips at me, "Have others ever considered your feelings? Besides, you called Xu Yi just to show your concern for your friend!"
After listening to Chinatsu's words, I finally plucked up the courage to press the dial button.
After the phone rang for a long time, it was finally connected: "Xia."
"Xu Yi, what are you doing?" I asked as casually as possible.
"Yeah, get out of class just ended!" Xu Yi's sentence was very brief, revealing a little bit of strangeness.
"Xu Yi, how about we meet at the old place? I have something to tell you!"
After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Xu Yi's voice sounded again: "Xia Ya, I have an appointment today. Let's do it another day. I have to get in the car. I'll hang up first."
"Oh, okay."
There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone.
This seemed to be the first time Xu Yi said no to me.
In the past, he would pretend to be sick and skip rehearsals in order to accompany me shopping, but now he would reject me because of other people, and he rejected me so politely, as if I was just an ordinary friend.
But I was not mentally prepared for all this!
"Xia, what did Xu Yi say?" Qianxia's voice pulled me out of my wild thoughts.
"He's not free today. It seems he has made an appointment with someone else." I answered sullenly. I felt as if a huge rock was stuffed into my chest, making it heavy and hard to breathe.
"Haha, forget it, maybe he really has something wrong. How about we go get dessert?" Chinatsu tried to cheer me up, "Others say that eating dessert can make you feel better!"
I didn't answer, but just nodded slightly, then followed Chinatsu and walked forward, feeling depressed.
After finishing dessert, it was getting dark and we wandered around the streets.
So bitter!
I took a look at the milk tea in my hand. Is there no sugar in today's milk tea? Why does it taste so bitter?
Before I knew it, I had arrived at Guangjing Bridge, and when I looked up, I saw the huge KFC sign.
"Isn't it boring?"
"Haha, how come?"
"Don't boys hate accompanying girls shopping the most?"
"Maybe, but I won't, because this is the only way I can stay with Xia more!"
The days I spent with Xu Yi seemed like they happened just yesterday. His smile, his tone, his gentle look are all deeply imprinted in my mind.
well……
I sighed softly.
My eyes moved away from the huge sign and slowly fell on the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of KFC.
Two familiar figures burned my eyes at once!
Impossible! I must be dazzled.
I moved my feet with difficulty and rubbed my eyes hard.
However, those two familiar faces are still clearly there.
Xu Yi was seen leaning quietly on the back of the chair, smiling gently from time to time, and opposite him was the gentle Mizhi!
I stared blankly at Xu Yi, whose smile was brighter than the sun.
There is only a road and a glass wall between us, but such a short distance seems as far as an uncrossable Milky Way.
The person he dated turned out to be Miori!
Are they really boyfriend and girlfriend?
My heart immediately began to panic. I was so scared, scared to face all of this, scared that the outcome might be something I couldn't bear.
"Chinatsu, I want to go back. I'm so tired." I turned around quickly and pulled Chinatsu to get into the crowd.
"Xia, what's wrong with you?" Chixia realized that something was wrong with me. "Just now, wasn't it..."
Before Chinatsu could finish her words, I saw an inexplicable anger burning in her eyes.
Qianxia frowned tightly: "Why are you hiding? You are so unhappy every day that you can't even eat. Why don't you just ask clearly?"
"I...I really don't have anything to ask..."
Before I could finish, Chinatsu dragged me straight into KFC without saying a word.
"Chixia, no, I don't want to..."
Our pull immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Xia, be brave. I will always be by your side." Chinatsu turned her head and looked at me seriously, holding my hand tightly.
A huge warmth came from Chinatsu's palm and slowly flowed into my heart.
When Xu Yi saw us, the bright smile on his face instantly disappeared. His actions hurt my eyes.
"Xu Yi, the person you're dating is Miori, right?" Chinatsu asked.
Xu Yi didn't say anything.
"Well, I made an appointment with Xu Yi today." Miori seemed to sense Chinatsu's anger, and nervously approached Xu Yi and held his arm.
The scene before my eyes was like a bright light that made it impossible for me to open my eyes.
"Xu Yi, because of you, Xiaya hasn't been able to eat for more than a week; because of you, she is unhappy every day. But now you are dating someone else here!" Qianxia became more and more angry as she spoke, and the blue veins on her hands bulged one by one.
"Chinatsu, stop talking!" I pulled Chinatsu's sleeve.
"If I had known you were so fickle, why would I have made those promises in the first place..."
"Stop talking! Don't mention the past!" Xu Yi, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly interrupted Qianxia.
Don’t mention the past?
My brain felt like it was hit by high voltage electricity and turned pitch black!
Did he mean that those deep memories between us have completely become a thing of the past?
“Pah—”
I saw a drop of water fall into the milk tea cup in my hand.
I reached out and touched my face, and it was cold.
There was a flash of pity in Xu Yi's eyes when he looked at me, but it was quickly replaced by calmness.
My heart completely fell into a bottomless black hole.
"Xu Yi, you bastard!" After seeing my tears, Qianxia snatched the unfinished milk tea from my hand and splashed it all on Xu Yi's face.
The milk tea splashed everywhere, dripping onto the ground along Xu Yi's hair.
The calm expression on his face finally melted, but was filled with a thick fog of sadness.
"Xu Yi, you..."
I wanted to rush over to comfort him, but Miori beside him had already picked up the tissue and was carefully wiping him clean, looking at Chinatsu with hostility.
Everyone in KFC was attracted by this scene.
Chinatsu grabbed me and left under everyone's gaze.
