Summer's Desire

Chapter 4
In the school, Luo Xi's light gradually became extremely dazzling, and seemed to have a tendency to surpass Ou Chen.In the past, Luo Xi was only excellent and gentle in the eyes of the girls, but after the theft incident, there was a faint gleam of fragility in his gentle smile.Because I misunderstood him once and didn't stand up when he needed it most, every girl who liked him blamed herself extremely.

So they decided.

They will protect their Luo Xi with more love and care in the future!
Whenever Yin Xiamo and Xiao Cheng came home from school, the ground in front of the courtyard was always piled up with all kinds of gifts for Luo Xi, and the mailbox was also filled with many, many letters to Luo Xi.There was even a very cute girl who secretly hid in the corner streets every day. Whenever Yin Xiamo saw her, she turned and ran away with a blushing face.Dad laughed, Luo Xi is so popular, she can become a star in the future.

However, in recent days, Yin Xiamo found that Xiao Cheng seemed to have something on his mind. When he was eating, his chopsticks were empty several times. When he was painting, he sat blankly staring at the canvas. He didn't seem to hear her calling him several times.Later, under her questioning, Xiaocheng said distressedly that his father's birthday would be in a few days, and he didn't know what gift he should give his father.In the past, he always gave his father a painting he drew, but this year is his father's 40th birthday. Besides the painting, he also wanted to give some special gifts.

"Xiaocheng is so good." Yin Xiamo comforted him, "No matter what you give to Dad, Dad will be very happy. Well, that's good. If you have any gifts you want to buy, just tell me. She still has some part-time workers. money."

Xiaocheng nodded.

Two days later in the evening, Yin Xiamo was watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard, Luo Xi was singing under the cherry tree with a guitar in his arms, and Xiao Cheng ran in with an iPad in his arms as if cheering and excited.

"Sister! Brother Luo Xi!"

There is a video website on the Pad that announces the news of the new variety show convening contestants. They want to produce an entertainment program called "Superstar". Anyone can sign up regardless of age, and the song is optional.The rules of the show are that there will be popular singers as judges for each show, and as long as one of the judges hits the small gong in front of him, the contestants must stop singing.According to the number of seconds of each contestant's singing time, the program will award bonuses, and they can get 5000 yuan in cash per second.Finally, the one with the longest singing time will be selected from all the contestants as the champion, who can participate in the next competition and get a champion bonus of [-] yuan.

"Shall we go to participate?!" Xiaocheng shouted excitedly, "Brother Luoxi sings so well, we will definitely win! And the day of the first competition happened to be Dad's birthday! Sister, brother Luoxi and I were on TV Sing to Dad, Dad will be very happy!"

Yin Xiamo rubbed her forehead with her fingers.

She thought about it, how to reject Xiao Cheng so as not to disappoint him.

"I dont go."

Luo Xi said expressionlessly.

Xiao Cheng opened his eyes wide in astonishment, very at a loss: "Brother Luo Xi..."

"Hey!"

Yin Xiamo glared at Luo Xi immediately, he was speaking too directly.Luo Xi looked at her indifferently, with a malicious smile on his lips, then got up and left without looking back.

Xiao Cheng lowered his head.

Yin Xiamo could see tears swirling in Xiaocheng's eye sockets, watery, struggling hard not to flow out.

"Xiao Cheng, we can give Dad other gifts... Uh, how about a lighter... or a wallet..." Although she also felt that the idea of ​​participating in a variety show was very strange, she still felt very sad seeing Xiao Cheng's lost look .

Xiao Cheng lowered his head and did not speak.

Tears fell softly into the soil of the courtyard.

Yin Xiamo quickly hugged him:

"Be good, don't cry... Do you really want to participate?"

Xiaocheng nodded.

"Okay," she gritted her teeth, "my sister will accompany you! However, my sister and you are not very good at singing, and it is very likely that you will not pass the application. Don't be disappointed then, okay?"

"sister--"

Xiaocheng sobbed and snuggled into her embrace, a childish and faint milky fragrance permeated her heart.

Yin Xiamo was originally sure that it was absolutely impossible for the program team to let people with singing skills like her and Xiaocheng pass the initial registration test.Who knows, because the live broadcast on Saturday is the first time, and because many people don't know much about this show, there are actually very few people who sign up!

The staff of the program group facing the preliminary screening.

She and Xiao Cheng sang the school song.

The singing is very childish.

The staff members seemed not interested in her and Xiaocheng's singing, they stood around and looked them up and down one by one, whispering, "You are so beautiful", "Very cute"...

Wait for her and Xiaocheng to finish singing.

A staff member smiled and told Yin Xiamo that they had passed the screening and could participate in the recording of the show on Saturday night.Yin Xiamo swayed, as if someone had hit her head with a club, staring at her eyes.Xiaocheng jumped up happily.

Yin Xiamo was still in a daze until she got home and started to eat dinner. She stared blankly at the rice in the bowl and suddenly felt that she had lost her appetite.Although she didn't care how many seconds she could sing and whether she could become the champion, she didn't want to be ashamed like an idiot in the live broadcast.She was in a daze for a long time, not noticing that her father and mother had been looking at her worriedly, even Luo Xi had glanced at her several times, only Xiao Cheng was eating happily.

After dinner.

"Hey!"

Yin Xiamo called to stop Luo Xi who was about to leave.She pretended to be indifferent and calm, but her cheeks couldn't hide a little redness.

night.

Golden full moon.

Under the cherry tree.

"Want me to teach you how to sing?"

Luo Xi looked at Yin Xiamo with a half-smile, and he looked at her with interest, which made her a little angry.She couldn't stand his mocking gaze, and wanted to turn around and leave, but reason made her stand stiffly in front of him.

"Take it as my reward for helping you last time." She said flatly.

"Hey, why should I repay you." He leaned lazily against the tree trunk, smiling beautifully, "Did I ask you to help me back then? It seems not."

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Of course, I can also teach you how to sing." Luo Xi lazily plucked the guitar in his arms, "But you have to remember that you owe me, and you have to pay me back in the future."

She glared at him.This guy, with such a hard mouth, likes to put on a show all day long.Seeing her angry look, he chuckled and asked her:

"What song do you want to sing?"

Yin Xiamo thought for a while:

"Just sing the song you usually like to sing, it's very nice."

All night.

Luo Xi was playing the guitar under the tree.

Yin Xiamo and Xiaocheng practiced the song over and over again.

"...

Black cat meowing on the roof

The milk in the pot is about to boil

the sun is shining

I hide in the quilt and sleep late

Mom called me a lazy cat

Sunshine to the ass

The black cat is jumping and jumping on the roof
Mom is making noise
I covered my ears and yelled

milk is boiling
Mom rushes back to the kitchen
Jingle, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping
everything is messed up
......"

A round moon hung in the night, and the mischievous and cheerful singing made the branches and leaves of the cherry trees chuckle.Singing and singing, Yin Xiamo's throat became dry, hoarse and feverish, and Xiao Cheng also sang a little out of breath.

"How are we singing?"

She sat down on the stone platform to wipe off her sweat and asked worriedly.

Luo Xi put down the guitar, moved her sore fingers, looked at her, then at Xiao Cheng who was nervous, and said, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Yin Xiamo was suddenly depressed.

Luo Xi laughed out loud, leaning back and forth.

*** ***
Time flies.

In the blink of an eye it was Saturday night.

In the backstage dressing room of the program group, all contestants are preparing nervously.Some people put on makeup, some drank water to moisten their throats, some practiced dancing in the open space, and some kept checking their clothes for any flaws.The music in the live broadcast hall was already playing, and the two hosts excitedly introduced the guests to stir up the atmosphere. The staff of the program team ran in to make everyone get ready and listen to the schedule to play at any time.

In an inconspicuous corner of the dressing room.

"Sister...you..." Xiao Cheng huddled next to Yin Xiamo's shoulder, seeing that the other contestants in the room were basically adults, his voice couldn't help but feel a little timid. "Are you nervous..."

Yin Xiamo closed her eyes and listened to the competition songs in the earphones.

There was another ear-piercing "铛——!" from the live broadcast hall, and another contestant was knocked down by the judges' gong. The audience roared with laughter, and the host announced loudly that the singing time was 20 seconds.

Xiaocheng leaned closer to Yin Xiamo:

"Sister...do you think...we can sing for a few seconds?"

At this time, a staff member came in and shouted: "No. [-] enters! No. [-] is ready! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Yin Xiamo stood up, she took off the earphones, moved her body, quietly wiped off the cold sweat from her palms, and then pulled Xiao Cheng, who was a little pale, from the chair.She put her hands on his shoulders and stared at him tightly: "Remember, after you come to the stage, you treat everyone as dead!"

Xiao Cheng shuddered: "I...I...I'm afraid of dead people..."

Yin Xiamo took a deep breath and rubbed her forehead: "Did you tell Dad to watch the live broadcast?"

"told."

She was speechless and silent.

"Because I was worried that my father would forget to read it... I reminded him several times..." Xiaocheng said as if he wanted to cry.

"No. [-] is on the stage! No. [-] is ready! Quick! Quick! Quick!!"

"Don't worry, it's okay with my sister here!" She smiled calmly, "After you came to the stage, you treat everything as carrots and cabbages, do you understand?"

Xiaocheng nodded vigorously.

Yin Xiamo took his hand and walked out, suddenly her toes hooked onto the chair legs somehow, and almost tripped over with an "ah", Xiaocheng looked at her in panic, she coughed, her expression still looked extremely calm.

live hall.

The lights on the ceiling are dazzling and bright, the dark blue stage, and several giant LED screens create a deep and gorgeous background.Surrounding the stage is the auditorium, and each audience holds something like a light stick in their hand.The three judges were sitting right in front of the stage, and in the middle of the judges' seat was Hua Meifeng, a powerful female singer from Hong Kong. She was wearing a long dress with silver sequins, shining brightly, with a string of sparkling diamond necklaces around her neck. Shaking with a small hammer, it was obvious that the gong had just been struck to dismiss the previous player.The other two judges are male singers who are not very famous and whisper to Hua Meifeng.

The two hosts sang together:
"As of now, the longest singing seconds among the contestants is 3 seconds of No. 58 contestant!"

"Is there anyone who can break this record?"

"Next is a pair of cute siblings who will perform!"

"The song they're going to sing is 'Black Cat and Milk.'"

"Ah, very interesting song title."

"That's right, will this cute pair of siblings have a surprising performance?!"

"Let us welcome this pair of siblings!"

The music sounded, and white smoky dry ice poured out from around the stage. A beautiful girl walked out pulling a cute boy. In the dim light, the spotlights as bright as day were projected directly on the siblings.My elder sister was wearing a black men's dress, her long curly hair was tied up with green lace, and her eyes were as bright as sea water under the sun.The younger brother is also wearing a little black dress, with big eyes, blinking in a little fright in the close-up, very cute.

Yin family.

Mom and Dad were surprised to see Xia Mo and Xiao Cheng appearing in the live video.

On the screen, on the gorgeous and magnificent stage, under the dazzling white light, a pair of siblings smiled cutely like angels, holding hands, and said to the camera: "We want to dedicate this song to Dad, today is Dad's birthday , here, we want to wish Dad a happy birthday!"

On the stage, Yin Xiamo signaled to the sound engineer.

The music stops abruptly!

The audience in the audience and the judges in front were all stunned!

At this moment, Yin Xiamo and Xiao Cheng showed mischievous smiles on their faces. They made a wrong step, dodged each other, clapped their hands together, and danced briskly.

"Hi!"

"Hi!"

"yoo!"

"yoo!"

The music sounded again, and changed into a brisk and strong RAP style. Yin Xiamo and Xiaocheng danced playful steps, and began to sing "yoo" and "yoo".

On the large LCD screen, the seconds have already started counting.

"...

Black cat meowing on the roof

The milk in the pot is about to boil

the sun is shining

I hide in the quilt and sleep late

Mom called me a lazy cat

Sunshine to the ass

The black cat is jumping and jumping on the roof
Mom is making noise
I covered my ears and yelled

milk is boiling
Mom rushes back to the kitchen
Jingle, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping
everything is messed up
......"

Along with the music, Yin Xiamo and Xiaocheng danced more and more relaxed, posing many poses playfully and cutely, and began to rap the first paragraph of the lyrics with expressions on their faces.Xiaocheng pretended to be a child, Yin Xiamo pretended to be a mother, and the lyrics were funny. The two siblings acted cutely and mischievously. The audience couldn't help but waved their light sticks to cheer for them.

The seconds on the LCD screen are counting up rapidly.

"45 seconds!"

"46 seconds!"

"47 seconds!"

……

All the lights were gathered on the stage, and in the most remote corner of the auditorium around, a young figure was hidden in the darkness, no one would notice him.She is smarter than he imagined, Luo Xi chuckled, she actually turned the song into a rap rap, relaxed and humorous, lively and moving, and just relying on those "hi" and "yoo" can also take a lot of time.

He looked at Yin Xiamo.

Among the countless light sticks, the 15-year-old has the brightest smile on her face, bright eyes, immature and cheerful dance steps, and she seems to be two people at all, two people in a completely different world from the usually indifferent and indifferent her.

It's just that the main theme of this song is about to be sung.

He suddenly felt.

She seemed to be starting to stiffen and tense.

In the hot spotlight.

Yin Xiamo's palms gradually broke out in cold sweat.

During the rehearsal, she asked Xiaocheng to only be in charge of the rap part, and she could complete the melody part of the music by herself.She was very calm when she told Xiaocheng.

She is the older sister.

The elder sister is the person that the younger brother can rely on. The elder sister should not panic or be nervous.However, her heartbeat became disordered, her head felt a little dizzy, her palms were sweaty, and there seemed to be Venus popping out in front of her eyes, all she could hear was the buzzing music in her ears, and Xiao Cheng sang the last line of the lyrics.

Yin Xiamo gritted her teeth.

She closed her eyes, trying to let herself forget all distracting thoughts, opened her mouth, and the singing was in her throat.However, she didn't hear it.

The music is gone.

abruptly.

The original music is gone!

Quiet, the live broadcast hall suddenly became quiet.The sound engineer frantically checked the machine.The audience looked at each other, and so did the judges.

Ou Zhai's study.

"Master."

Steward Shen knocked on the door respectfully and came in, walked to Ou Chen who was checking the computer files, and whispered a few words.Ou Chen frowned, took the Ipad in his hand, and immediately saw the familiar figure of the girl on the screen.

On a gorgeous stage, she stood alone under the strong light, her limbs were a little helpless and stiff, as if she was trying to pretend to be calm, but her lips were getting paler and paler.

She can't hear the music.

Yin Xiamo stood blankly under the hot spotlight.

She couldn't hear the music, the singing in her throat completely went blank, her mind was empty, she couldn't think of anything, the lyrics and melody were completely forgotten.The more she told herself not to panic, she couldn't panic, the more panicked she suddenly became.Just like when she was seven years old, she stood blankly on the stage of the bar, watching her mother fall heavily down the stage, blood gushing from the corners of her mother's mouth and nose, and her whole body was as stiff as ice.

live on the LCD screen.

Seconds are still counting.

"52 seconds!"

"53 seconds!"

"54 seconds!"

……

There was still no music in the live broadcast hall, and the crowd in the auditorium became uneasy and restless, and the voices of discussions and conversations became louder and louder.A male judge shook his head, picked up his small copper hammer, and struck the gong.

"...

How nice it would be to never grow up

Always in mother's warm embrace

mother is sunshine

I am the sunflower on the windowsill

forever in mother's arms

......"

The singing has a moving penetrating power, is pure, beautiful, and as fresh as the summer sun.

The singing sounded in the auditorium.

It was as if in the ears of every audience, the singing without a microphone and without musical accompaniment suddenly pierced deeply into everyone's heart like lightning that exploded in the night sky accompanied by thunder.Hua Meifeng snatched away the small copper gong, causing the male judge's small copper hammer to hit nothing.

A teenager stood up from the audience.

The spotlight suddenly chased after him, a star-like white light, in the bright beam of light, the boy's eyes were as bright as stars, and his skin was as beautiful as cherry blossoms.

The teenager sang and walked onto the stage.

The young man smiled and lowered his head to rub the dazed Xiaocheng's head, then stretched out his left arm to wrap around Yin Xiamo's shoulder, and she turned to look at him in a daze.The boy stood in the center of the stage, holding Yin Xiamo's hand on the left and Xiao Cheng's on the right, and he sang beautifully.

"...

mother is sunshine

i am a happy sunflower
grow up day by day

bloom day by day

mother is sunshine

I am the sunflower on the windowsill

won't be sad
won't wither
How nice it would be to never grow up

Always in mother's warm embrace

......"

At this time, the sound engineer finally adjusted the music, and the live broadcast hall resounded with cheerful rhythm.Yin Xiamo took a deep breath, trying to regain her composure, and her body began to sway again with the rhythm, "Hi!", "Hi!", "yoo!", "yoo!".Xiaocheng also immediately understood what her sister meant, and followed her sister to "Hi!", "Hi!", "yoo!", "yoo!"

Luo Xi sang the main theme of the song.

Yin Xiamo and Xiaocheng were dancing beside him, while rapping and singing the rest of the lyrics.

"...

everything is messed up in the kitchen
Looks like a black cat knocked over the pot

It's like scalding milk to a cat

black cat meowing in pain

He ran up to the eaves
Mom is in a hurry

Redoing breakfast will make me late

If I don't cook breakfast, I'm afraid my stomach will growl

I sleep in the quilt

Haha
I like to sleep late

......"

There was a tidal wave of applause in the live broadcast hall, and the audience cheered excitedly. The host was stunned, and the two male judges in the jury seat also started to applaud. Hua Meifeng was playing with a small copper hammer and leaning back on the comfortable chair.

The seconds on the LCD screen continued to tick up.

"136 seconds!"

"137 seconds!"

"138 seconds!"

……

Yin's living room.

Mom and Dad watched the video excitedly, nervous and happy. On the screen, Luo Xi, Xiao Mo and Xiao Cheng bowed deeply to the judges and audience in front of them, and then the three of them held the microphone tightly together and said loudly to the camera :
"Dad, happy birthday!"

Ou Zhai's study room.

Sitting in a black leather chair, Ou Chen stared at Yin Xiamo on the screen.

She and Luo Xi held hands tightly.

The pupils tightened slowly, a dark green light flashed in Ou Chen's eyes, and he turned off the video abruptly.

*** ***
late at night.

Under the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, Mom and Dad had already entered the house after a small celebration banquet. Xiao Cheng hadn’t fully recovered from the state of excitement, and continued to sing and dance on the stone platform, causing the sleepy birds on the branches to be forced to sleep. He flapped his wings and flew away.

When Xiaocheng was so tired and finally fell asleep on Yin Xiamo's lap.

The night is already very deep.

Faint night mist.

Faint moonlight.

Suddenly, two cans of beer appeared in Luo Xi's hand.He opened one can, leaned back and gulped it down, and when he was done, he pulled open the other with his fingers and held the beer in front of her.

He asked provocatively:
"Drink?"

She took it.She started to drink, and when she was done, she turned the aluminum can upside down, shook it, and only a little foam came out of it.

She asked defiantly:
"Any more?"

Luo Xi magically took out cans of beer after cans, as if there was a beer vending machine behind him.She didn't ask him where the beer came from, nor did he ask how she learned to drink, she didn't ask why he appeared in the live broadcast hall, and he didn't ask why she suddenly became tense and stiff when singing.

Cherry blossoms in the moonlight.

He drank countless beers with her.

The two were slightly drunk.

Her eyes were getting brighter, his cheeks were getting more and more flushed, some alcohol rushed up, she and he started laughing at the same time.The laughter was a bit embarrassing at first, but then it became more and more funny, and the two laughed together.It wasn't until Xiaocheng moved uncomfortably in her arms that she drunkenly gestured to her lips for silence.

Her fingers are as bright as moonlight.

Her lips are delicate.

Luo Xi suddenly felt that the night wind was blowing and the leaves were making messy noises, the stars were twinkling, and the white mist was bewitching and dancing gracefully.

She raised the beer can in her hand, her eyes were slightly drunk:
"Luo Xi, welcome to this home."

He froze.

She lightly touched the blue beer can in his hand, "bang", the thin sound was extremely clear in the silent night.

Luo Xi smiled: "Because of what happened tonight, have you decided not to hate me?"

She continued to drink beer, with drunken eyes: "You know what?... Actually, I never really hated you... It's just that you always remind me of those... things I try to forget... Hey... You hate me too, don't you..."

She was really a little drunk.

In the moonlit courtyard, Luo Xi's heart suddenly missed a few beats. Some kind of inexplicable feeling, probably the faint fragrance of cherry blossom leaves, made the distance between the two extremely close.Her eyes were sleepy, his body was filled with the aroma of beer, as long as he lowered his head slightly, his lips could touch hers.

My mind went blank.

Luo Xi bowed his head.

His breath was a little hot, and he gently kissed her lips.It was warm and smelled like beer, and her lips looked so gentle, like the moonlight shining on the cherry blossom trees, like the faint shadows of the flowers and plants in the garden.Getting closer and closer, the distance between his and her lips is only as thin as a leaf, and they can hear each other's chaotic heartbeats.When he lowered his head, her eyes suddenly opened wide, then she tilted her body, and with a "bang", without warning, she fell asleep on the stone platform drunk.

*** ***
There is a sensation in the school!

Luo Xi, who is the most popular on campus, and Ou Chen's super rumored girlfriend, Yin Xiamo, unexpectedly appeared on the screen at the same time, and took away the super star's first stage champion!And turn on the phone, click on the video, a lot of news and short videos are showing Luo Xi, Yin Xiamo and Xiao Cheng singing and dancing and sitting on the throne!

The students surrounded Luo Xi and Yin Xiamo excitedly, cheering them on, telling them to keep their position as the champions, and rushing to give ideas, telling them what songs they will sing in the next issue will be very brilliant, and they must keep the other songs. All the contestants were defeated!
The school was also very happy. In order to improve the school's reputation, they even sent music and dance teachers to rehearse for the three of them.

From then on, the three of them basically spent their spare time in the practice room.

Luo Xi's singing is accompanied by the piano, which often makes the students around the practice room go crazy.With Luo Xi's perfect singing, the music teacher almost completely ignored Yin Xiamo and Xiao Cheng, and handed them over to the dance teacher.Therefore, Yin Xiamo and Xiao Cheng practiced sweaty every day, but Luo Xi felt refreshed.Tired from dancing, eating more food, unconsciously, Yin Xiamo and Xiao Cheng's height quietly increased by a few centimeters.

The days go by fast.

incredible!

The champion of the second phase of superstars: the Yin family brother and sister combination!
Every three episodes...the fourth episode...for many consecutive episodes, the champion has never changed, and they are all brothers and sisters of the Yin family!

The media caught up with the heat, and there were more and more news about the Yin family brothers and sisters. Many reporters asked for exclusive interviews, and countless fans began to send them cards and gifts through the program group.

The students in the school are also in a state of excitement. The final exam is coming, but everyone seems to have forgotten it. The topics discussed every day are superstars and superstars in competitions. The girls surround Luoxi every day, asking for his autograph. He took a photo.Although the boys also think that Yin Xiamo is very beautiful and cute in the show, but because of Ou Chen's relationship, no one dares to approach her and strike up a conversation with her.

*** ***
"What are you thinking about?"

In the campus restaurant, Yin Xiamo asked the silent Ou Chen in a low voice.

Ou Chen's reaction to the Superstar incident was completely beyond her expectations.She explained to him that Luo Xi would appear with her by chance, not by prior arrangement.If Ou Chen minds, then she can find a way to refuse to participate in future superstars.However, whenever she wanted to bring it up, he always interrupted her coldly and abruptly.The arrogance and arbitrariness emanating from him coldly pushed her away like a thick wall, making her astonished.

She didn't want to anger Ou Chen because of this kind of thing.

Ou Chen is dangerous.

Even if Xiao Cheng is making love in her arms, as long as he sees it, he will be displeased.Once in a French restaurant, the male waiter touched her fingers when he took the menu from her hand, and looked at her for a long time.After the meal, Ou Chen called the manager of the restaurant, and finally the waiter was fired.Because of Ou Chen's strong desire for monopoly, she tried to give him a sense of security, tried to make him change, and had a cold war with him.However, Ou Chen seems to be unchangeable.

"No."

Ou Chen wiped the corner of his mouth lightly with a napkin, but there was no expression on his face.

"If you are unhappy, please tell me." Yin Xiamo frowned, "Superstars are not mandatory to participate in the show, Xiao Cheng may be disappointed, but he will..."

"I'm going to France in a few days."

He stared indifferently at the students coming and going outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and interrupted her.

"Ou Chen, Luo Xi has nothing to do with me. He is just a child adopted by my father, and there is nothing else..." Feeling unspeakable uneasiness in his heart, Yin Xiamo tried to explain to him again.Whenever he becomes silent and cold, he does something horrible.

"I don't want to hear that person's name." Ou Chen interrupted her again, staring at her slowly, with a faint green in his eyes, "I will solve the matter myself."

"Solution? How to solve it?" She froze, "What do you want to solve?"

"This time I will be in France for about a month." Ou Chen showed her a blunt smile, "Xia Mo, I will bring a gift back."

again...

Yin Xiamo suddenly felt powerless.

*** ***
Luo Xi, Yin Xiamo and Xiao Cheng, the three of them started going to school together and going home together.Xiao Cheng happily ran ahead, Luo Xi and Yin Xiamo walked side by side on the tree-lined road, she held Xiao Cheng's Mickey schoolbag in her hand, and he walked leisurely with his arms crossed behind his head.The metasequoia trees on both sides of the road went straight into the clouds, and the sky was blue and high. Xiao Cheng ran far, far away, and his laughter floated softly from a distance.

Sometimes Luo Xi would take the schoolbag from her hand.

She looked at him in surprise.

He lazily carried the Mickey schoolbag on his shoulders, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, the smile on his lips was casually beautiful.

Finish dinner at home.

Luo Xi taught Xiao Cheng to sing under the cherry tree, and Yin Xiamo watered the flowers and plants. From time to time, she would be attracted by Luo Xi's singing, and gradually began to chat about things, and laughter filled the courtyard.While laughing and having fun, Luo Xi magically took out a brand-new set of painting tools and gave it to Xiao Cheng. Xiao Cheng was so moved that his eyes were moist, and she threw herself into his arms.

Yin Xiamo smiled.

Luo Xi stroked Xiao Cheng's head and winked at her.

after a few days.

Yin Xiamo and Xiao Cheng announced that they would give Luo Xi a mysterious gift, which was in a big cardboard box!Luo Xi reached out his hand into the cardboard box, and it became a limp ball, he withdrew his hand in surprise.Inside the carton was a beautiful black cat with shiny black fur and amber eyes.Yin Xiamo smiled and held the black cat in front of Luo Xi, and told him that she and Xiao Cheng had already decided on the cat's name, which was "Milk".

From then on, the Yin family had an extra black cat, Milk, causing trouble everywhere.

The days passed like this day by day.

Like a summer breeze.

Gently, the days passed like this.

"Brother Luo Xi, we can still be the champion in the next round, right?!" At the dinner table, Xiao Cheng asked with bright eyes. I danced a little with joy.

"Do you want to continue?" Luo Xi picked up the vegetables and ate them.

"Yeah!" Xiaocheng nodded vigorously, "It feels good. It seems that we have won a big victory. We are heroes, and we win every time! Brother Luo Xi is so good! The aunt of the program team told me that as long as there is Luo Xi Brother Xi, we can sit for ten rounds in a row! She said that Brother Luo Xi has the aura of a superstar, and every time Brother Luo Xi comes out, he will overwhelm all the other contestants!..."

Luo Xi smiled lightly.

Yin Xiamo just raised her head and met his eyes. His eyes were as bright as stars, with a touch of happiness and childish complacency.She wants to laugh.However, for some reason, she suddenly remembered that night when she was drunk with beer, he seemed to be very close to her, with the same look in his eyes, as if he could feel his lips...

"Hey, then Xiao Cheng will stop painting, will he become a star in the future?" She avoids Luo Xi's eyes, and half-jokingly said to Xiao Cheng, but the blushing of her cheeks revealed the inexplicable tension in her heart.

Xiao Cheng opened his mouth wide and froze: "Huahua... a star..." After thinking about it, "...I still prefer painting... ah! Brother Luo Xi is a star, so Xiaocheng can paint, okay?!" He Happy applause to myself for coming up with this clever solution.

"I……"

Dad suddenly whispered.

The voice was too low, and Yin Xiamo couldn't hear clearly. She turned to look at her father, only to see that her father's forehead was a little sweaty, his skin was a little yellow, and the rice in front of him didn't seem to have been touched at all.Tonight's meal, father and mother were very silent, they just listened to Xiao Cheng's words, she didn't notice it at all.

"I have something...to...to say..."

There was a strangeness in Dad's voice.

The atmosphere in the restaurant became weird. Mom stared blankly at her father. Xiao Cheng didn't know what happened, but she was too frightened by her father's expression to stop laughing. Luo Xi put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand. Yin Xiamo's heart tightened, and a thought flashed However, she was worried that her father was sick.

"Sorry……"

Dad awkwardly wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, as if he didn't know how to speak, more cold sweat hung on his fat face.

"Dad," Yin Xiamo said softly, "it's okay, just tell me."

Dad looked at her in a panic, then looked at other people, his eyes stayed on Luo Xi's face, his throat was hoarse like a sinner, and he said, "I'm sorry... From now on... Xiaoxi can no longer live at home... …sorry……"

this sentence.

The night quietly penetrated through the window.

The air in the dining room seemed to be frozen, there was no sound, no movement, just like a ridiculous dream, everyone was a dull puppet no longer breathing.

The black cat is sleeping on the windowsill.

Also quietly without any sound.

"Did I do something wrong?"

After the suffocating silence, Luo Xi's lips curled into a smile, as if he was looking at his father casually.

"No! It's not your problem...it's..."

Dad said incoherently, sweat as big as soybeans rolled down his forehead.

Xiaocheng was completely stunned!
The bowl in his hand fell to the table, and the rice inside spilled out, spilling embarrassingly on the table and the dishes.With tears in his voice, Xiaocheng shouted sadly: "Why? Dad, why did you let Brother Luo Xi go? Brother Luo Xi is a good man! Brother Luo Xi is not a thief. Didn't Dad know that Brother Luo Xi is a good man? I I like brother Luoxi..."

Yin Xiamo bit her lip.

Her heart constricted, as if the cold air of deep winter poured in from the top of her head, icy cold, all the way to the soles of her feet.

She slowly looked at Luo Xi.

This beautiful boy, with skin like porcelain and lips like flower petals, sat silently, as if in a distant world.

Luo Xi's eyes were very pale.

He glanced at everyone at the table indifferently, his eyes were indifferent and numb, as if such absurd and nightmare scenes had been repeated countless times in his life.

a long time.

Luo Xi asked calmly:

"Do you want me to go back to the orphanage tonight, or tomorrow?"

*** ***
"Is it Ou Chen?" In the courtyard, Yin Xiamo stood in front of her father, "It was Ou Chen who asked Dad to drive Luo Xi away, right?!"

She couldn't forgive herself.

To make such a mistake!
In recent days, her father came home from get off work later and later. How could she not care about it, thinking it was just the company working overtime.Sometimes she helped her mother clean up the house and clear the ashtray, and saw the cigarette butts inside piled up like a hill, almost the amount of cigarettes in the previous half month, but she didn't care about it.Waking up in the middle of the night, she saw her father smoking one cigarette after another in the courtyard through the window of the room, and there seemed to be a sigh.She originally planned to ask her father what happened the next day, but she forgot about it in a blink of an eye when she practiced singing and went to the program group.

She was cold.

It was her fault, she should have noticed it before it happened, and figured out a way to save it!But she has been in comfort for too long, and she is as confused as a fool about all the signs.

A night without moonlight.

Dad's face was full of painful frustration: "Leave the company...you will lose your job...I tried...I didn't work...I can't find a job if I leave the company..."

She was stunned:

"If Luo Xi doesn't leave, will dad be unemployed?"

Dad hugged his head, and his fat body slowly sat down on the cold stone platform. In the dark night, his figure looked like a tired and aging bear.

She stared at the man.

There was a certain sadness in her eyes that shouldn't belong to her age.

"I'm sorry... If you hadn't asked Master Ou Chen... I wouldn't have this job... If Master Ou Chen also drove me away... I would..." Dad's voice seemed to be choked up, "I'm sorry... ...I'm worthless...unemployed...terrible...I don't want to..."

Yin Xiamo bit her lips tightly.

Her lips were sore.

Her throat was also burning hot.

In the early morning of the next day, Yin Xiamo stood at the gate of the Ouzhai villa. The housekeeper and maids saluted her respectfully, but told her that the young master had already flown to France yesterday afternoon.So she dialed Ou Chen's mobile phone more than ten times, but the message from the other end of the mobile phone was always "Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off".

Yin Xiamo put down the phone.

She was sitting in the classroom, surrounded by the chatter and laughter of her classmates.In the midsummer season, the cicadas on the tree kept calling, and through the glass, she saw Luo Xi walking towards the student office across the square with some forms in his hand.

After school in the afternoon, she first sent Xiao Cheng to the studio.

Then--

She came to Ou Zhai Villa again.

"Please tell Ou Chen," she said to the housekeeper, "if you don't call me before tomorrow, then please don't show him in front of me again in the future."

"But I can't contact the young master!" the housekeeper said in panic.Only Steward Shen served the young master personally, he was only responsible for taking care of the villa.

She smiled, her eyes calm:
"You can always find a way."

At dinner time, Luo Xi had already packed everything, and could leave here and return to the orphanage at any time.Xiaocheng ate in silence, her big eyes were red and swollen from crying, she shed tears while eating, and the tears dripped on the dining table.Dad uneasily said not to worry.Luo Xi said calmly that he could take the bus to the orphanage by himself tomorrow, and it would not be too late to hand over the adoption procedures later.

Yin Xiamo's fingers tightened stiffly on the chopsticks.

orphanage...

In the orphanage, more than a dozen children sleep in the same room with bunk beds. Whenever there are sweets and snacks distributed, the children will start to fight for them.In the orphanage, there are endless selections by those who intend to adopt their children, and they are sent back endlessly. The selected children are proud of themselves, and the returned children are ridiculed by other children.She once swore that she would never go back to the orphanage with Xiaocheng again, no matter what method or means she used, she would never go back to that place again.

And Luo Xi was so calm that he didn't seem to care, his smile was faint, and his eyes were also faint, as if he already knew what the ending would be.

Yin Xiamo put the chicken wings into Luoxi's bowl.

"Thank you."

Luo Xi's voice was the same as the day he first came here, polite and distant.Until the end of dinner, the chicken wing was still lying quietly in the bowl, and he didn't move it.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the music on the mobile phone rang from Yin Xiamo's desk.She lowered her head and stared at "Ou Chen" displayed on the screen of her mobile phone, and slowly inhaled, she calmed down her mood first, and then connected the phone.

"Hi, I'm Yin Xiamo."

The sound is transmitted from one end of the mobile phone, far away, to the other end of the mobile phone.In the rose manor in France, Ou Chen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the moonlight shone on the trees in the garden, the faint dark green was as dark as the color in his eyes.

*** ***
Bright and dazzling sunlight shines in from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the airport hall, and the marble floor reflects the passengers coming and going, and the radio keeps broadcasting the status of each flight.The wheels of the blue suitcase made a light and hollow sound on the marble floor.In the tall airport hall, Luo Xi walked in front with a suitcase, and Yin Xiamo followed behind with a guitar on her back. The two of them went through various procedures, and they remained silent with each other.

Because Xiaocheng was too sad, he fell ill and developed a high fever, which reached 40 degrees and fell into a coma.Originally, she wanted to send Xiao Cheng to the hospital by herself, but her father and mother insisted on accompanying Xiao Cheng to the hospital and asked her to send Luo Xi to the plane.Maybe mom and dad didn't know how to face Luo Xi, Xiao Cheng murmured "Brother Luo Xi" and "Brother Luo Xi" while having a high fever, so she didn't say anything, and sent Luo Xi to the airport by herself.

Finally it was time to board the plane.

The center of the airport lobby.

Luo Xi stood in front of Yin Xiamo.

He looked at her without any emotion in his eyes:
"Thank you for coming to see me off, let's go back."

She whispered to him:

"sorry."

This is all she can do. Even though she feels too much guilt towards him, this is already the best effort she can do for him.

Luo Xi was startled, and laughed horribly: "How could you be sorry for me? Instead of going back to the orphanage, you can go to study in England instead. You fought for it from Ou Chen, didn't you? How grateful I am to you, a poor and humble man like me People can get your charity, and they will definitely repay you in the future."

Her fingers clenched.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to make him understand: "Luo Xi, I can only do this. I can't let my father lose his job, I can't let Xiaocheng stop studying painting, and I can't let the whole family's life be unsettled. Go to England Studying abroad is much better than going back to the orphanage, Ou Chen has already transferred all the tuition fees for the next few years to the account of the British school, you just need to study with peace of mind. I'm sorry, I can only choose to do this."

"That's why I said, I don't know how grateful I am to you." Luo Xi still chuckled, but the pupils of her beautiful black jade-like eyes gradually contracted coldly.He understood, why didn't he understand, she could watch him return to the orphanage indifferently, but she won the opportunity to study abroad for him.

only--

There is a cold pain in the heart.

He tightened his lips:
"Just, if it was Xiaocheng, would you also send him abroad?"

Yin Xiamo's body froze.

Her throat was so dry and astringent that she couldn't speak.No, Xiao Cheng is her favorite family member, she will not be separated from Xiao Cheng.

Luo Xi understood her expression, and the coldness from his heart gradually froze his whole body: "Yes, you will not abandon Xiao Cheng, because you love him."

After a few minutes he shook his head and said again in a mocking voice:
"And I'm just a passerby who passed by unintentionally. I should be extremely grateful if I can get your favor. Children who grow up in an orphanage shouldn't be too greedy. Even your biological parents will abandon you. What's the matter?" Are you qualified to hope to be loved by others?"

She closed her eyes.

She could hear the vulnerability in his voice, she could hear the sadness in his voice.He is her kind, she thought about guarding against him, but never thought about hurting him so deeply.However, it is impossible for her to let her father go through the pain of unemployment again, and it is impossible for her to act too fiercely with Ou Chen, which will only make Ou Chen more dangerous.

"Both Xiaocheng and Dad really like you."

she whispered.

"Like me?" Luo Xi laughed, as if he couldn't breathe, "Send me back to the orphanage again because I like me? Mrs. Song also said that she likes me, and it is because she likes me that she watched her son put me away." Call the police and arrest me as a thief? My mother also said she likes me, so is it because she likes me that she threw me at the playground and made me wait for her all day and all night like an idiot?"

Yin Xiamo was speechless.

"This kind of liking is too cheap." The corners of his lips slowly showed indifference and cruelty, and his eyes were cold. "It's so cheap that it's not even as cheap as a piece of bread."

An empty airport lobby.

Floor-to-ceiling glass windows pour in bright sunlight.

Yin Xiamo looked at Luo Xi.

There is a silence like the night wind in her eyes:
"That's right. The only things I can do for you today are cheap ones. It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, hate me, or think I'm too selfish to hurt you. Now I can only take care of myself if I depend on others My family... If you really hate those who hurt you, then please become stronger, and wait until you appear in front of us with strength, or we will really start to regret."

As she spoke, she took out a bank card.

"This is all the bonuses you get for participating in the superstar show. I saved it for you, and you can withdraw it when you arrive in the UK."

Luo Xi silently looked at the bank card.

She pulled away his palm, put the card into his palm, then cheered up and smiled at him: "I hope I can meet you again after returning home."

The airport announcement began to invite passengers bound for London to board the plane. At this moment, a strange look flashed in Luo Xi's eyes, and he suddenly asked a very abrupt sentence——

"do you like me?"

She was stunned: "What?"

"Ou Chen wants me to go because he is afraid that you will fall in love with me, right?"

"……Correct."

"So, do you like me?"

She thought for a while, then shook her head: "It has nothing to do with you. If a boy gets too close to me, even if it's not you, Ou Chen will also be unhappy."

"If you don't like me, then if I leave, will you forget me?" He asked in a deep voice, his low voice was inexplicably touching, making her dizzy for a short time as if under a spell.

She avoids his eyes:

"I don't have time to think about you."

Luo Xi stared at her closely: "How realistic and cruel."

"I'm sorry," she whispered, "I have to make myself stronger to be able to protect the people around me. I'm sorry for what happened to you, but I won't let similar things happen again. To be stronger must be It takes a lot of hard work to do it, so how can there be time to think about you?"

"Okay." He squinted at her, "I don't know what it will be like if we meet again one day? Maybe you will be so strong that others look up to you."

"I just want to be able to protect my family." She still said calmly.

"But, what should we do?" Luo Xi sighed.

"...?"

"I don't want you to forget me. Although I don't like you, it will make me feel very uncomfortable to be forgotten so easily." He suddenly looked at her, smiling like a beautiful elf that overwhelms the country.

She was startled.

Take a step back.

But he had already held her shoulders, and supported the back of her head with his right hand. In the airport hall where people were coming and going, amidst the announcements on the radio constantly urging boarding, he lowered his head and kissed her lips!
She struggled in horror.

At first, Luo Xi just wanted to kiss her as a prank, as long as she would not forget him, as long as he left a little mark in her heart.However, her lips were so soft, her struggling body was so fragrant, and there seemed to be shining stars in her frightened and widened eyes.

And he will be separated from her.

He held his breath.

then.

Kissed deeply.

Tossing and sucking, the lips of the two were kissing tightly, his lips were scorching hot, hers were sweet and soft.His mind was blank, his heart was beating wildly in his chest, he hugged her tighter and kissed her deeper and deeper, he couldn't breathe, couldn't think, kissing her seemed like he couldn't let her go anymore.

In the bright and spacious airport lobby.

All the people saw the romantic and beautiful picture.

Beautiful teenager.

beautiful girl.

The boy and the girl hugged and kissed each other, and the sunlight came in from the huge French windows, shining on their bodies.The sun was shining golden, the young man kissed the young girl, and that kiss seemed golden, glorious, pure, transparent, as beautiful as an oil painting inlaid with pure gold lace.

The kiss was as long as half a century.

Luo Xi slowly let go of her in a trance, staring blankly at the red hickey on her lips, he waited quietly, waited and waited, but only saw her expression slowly return from anger to the usual one. indifferent.

"Why didn't you hit me?"

He pretended to ask casually.Normally speaking, a girl who is kissed by force should immediately slap her over.

"I'm afraid it will hurt my hands." Yin Xiamo took out a handkerchief to wipe her lips, her tone was as calm as if nothing had happened, "Flies and mosquitoes are very serious about biting people this summer."

Luo Xi's expression froze.

There was a dull pain in his heart, he took a deep breath, and there was a solemn dark light in his eyes: "I will be back. You tell that kid Ou Chen, what he was afraid of today, and I will return it to him in double when the time comes."

"If you want to say it, you can tell him yourself."

She responded lightly.

"Passengers of flight ××× please board the plane as soon as possible."

The sweet voice on the radio in the airport lobby repeated over and over again.

Yin Xiamo handed him the ticket in his hand:
"I wish you all the best in England."

After saying this, she suddenly felt that she was terribly unfamiliar with politeness.In front of him, for some reason, she was always used to guarding herself very tightly, lest she would be defeated if she leaked a little loophole.

Luo Xi took the ticket.

He looked around at the airport hall. The empty hall was full of strangers passing by in a hurry. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the sunlight was golden and dazzling.In such a peaceful world, everyone's coming and going, anyone's sorrows and joys, seem to be so silent.

"I'll take good care of the milk," she told him.The cat can't be taken on the plane, it was a gift from her and Xiaocheng, and he used to like it that much.

"Give it away."

Luo Xi said indifferently, pulled up the blue suitcase and walked towards the boarding entrance.

"Wait a moment!"

She called to him, took the guitar she had been carrying from her shoulders, and handed it to him.He was stunned, his fingers lightly stroked the strings on the guitar, "hum", a low echo.He pursed his lips, grabbed the guitar and strode forward.

Yin Xiamo stood where he was.

She quietly watched his back, watched him go farther and farther, watched him pass the customs, watched him put the ticket in the hands of the airport lady, and watched him indifferently never looked back.Quietly, there seemed to be a hole somewhere in her heart, as if something was passing away like an hourglass.

Luo Xi left.

At the last moment before leaving, he dropped the guitar outside the entrance, and the airport ground staff called him in surprise, but he just waved his hand and left without looking back.

Discarded guitars lie quietly on the cold marble floor.

Yin Xiamo stood quietly in the middle of the airport hall.

That day seemed to be the sunniest day in the whole summer of that year.Through the glass of the airport hall, the strings of the guitar are illuminated by the sun, as if there are countless rays of light shining.
