Rebirth of Bloody Romance

As night falls, the earth is shrouded in darkness, and the lights of the city twinkle like stars. In a corner of this bustling city, there is a restaurant called "Zuiyuexuan". The restaurant is filled with a faint fragrance, and the warm yellow light shines through the lampshade and softly falls on the wooden dining table, bringing a warm and peaceful atmosphere to the entire space.

Avril sat quietly by the window, staring at the noisy street outside. Pedestrians were hurrying on the street, and vehicles were flowing continuously, but all of this had nothing to do with her.

At this moment, she was filled with an indescribable emotion. Tomorrow, she would leave this city that she had just gotten familiar with and return to her distant hometown.

"Yuemin, I'm going back tomorrow." Avril finally broke the silence. Her soft voice was mixed with a barely perceptible hint of nostalgia, as well as some expectations for the future.

Hearing Avril's words, Zhong Yuemin, who was sitting opposite, slowly raised his head. His deep and complex eyes locked tightly with Avril's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her soul to the depths. After a moment, he silently put down the chopsticks in his hand and nodded slightly in response. "Well, I understand."

A simple sentence, but it contained a thousand words. Zhong Yuemin's voice was low and firm, as if he was trying his best to restrain the surging emotions in his heart, but his affectionate eyes had already betrayed him - filled with endless attachment and reluctance.

Avril was a little surprised by Zhong Yuemin's concise answer. However, she quickly adjusted her mindset and asked in a playful tone, "Will you miss me?" Her words revealed a bit of tentativeness, trying to ease the slightly solemn atmosphere.

Zhong Yuemin answered without hesitation, "Yes." It was just one word, without too many fancy words, but it was extremely sincere.

Zhong Yuemin's eyes always stayed on Avril, as if he wanted to imprint her image deeply in his heart. This brief and profound expression made people feel the burning emotion deep in his heart.

Avril seemed dissatisfied with his answer, she stood up, walked to Zhong Yuemin, and gently sat on his lap. Her movements were light and natural, as if all this was taken for granted.

"Why do I think you don't have much sincerity?" Ivril opened her red lips slightly, raised her head slightly, and stared into Zhong Yuemin's eyes with her beautiful eyes. In her eyes as clear as autumn water, there was endless expectation and teasing, as if she was silently expecting him to give her a satisfactory answer.

Faced with such a beautiful scenery, Zhong Yuemin's heart was shaken, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface. He just rolled his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a helpless bitter smile. "Then what kind of sincerity do you want?" There was a hint of pampering and indulgence in his tone.

However, Avril did not reply directly, but stretched out her delicate hands and wrapped them around Zhong Yuemin's neck like a snake. Then, her graceful body pressed against him, as if trying to merge into him.

Marceline's breathing gradually became heavier and deeper, like a beautiful symphony, telling of her deepest desire and inseparable attachment.

"Stop it, this is a restaurant." Zhong Yuemin muttered softly, looking embarrassed. However, his voice was unusually gentle and firm. As he spoke, he raised his arms and gently embraced Avril's slender waist, then tightened his arms to hold the beauty in his arms tightly.

"What are you afraid of? This place is so remote, no one will come here." Avril's cherry lips trembled slightly as she uttered these words. There was a hint of mischief and provocation in her tone. She was like a cunning little fox, challenging Zhong Yuemin's patience.

Zhong Yuemin said nothing, just hugged her tightly, as if he wanted her to completely merge into his body. His rapid heartbeat was like a war drum, rumbling in Avril's ears, and each beat conveyed endless strength and determination, as if silently stating his deep determination and the promise he made to her.

"After dinner, I will take you to a special place." Zhong Yuemin finally broke the silence and spoke slowly. His tone was filled with an indescribable sense of mystery and full of expectations, as if he was sincerely inviting Avril to embark on a wonderful journey full of unknowns.

"Well, that's the right way!" Avril smiled and said coquettishly. At this moment, her beautiful face was full of sweet, satisfied smiles, as gorgeous and dazzling as blooming spring flowers.

As night fell, the old locust trees on Sanmiao Street swayed gently in the breeze, casting mottled shadows. Zhong Yuemin led Avril through the narrow alley and came to the quaint courtyard left by the Qinling Mountains.

The blue bricks and gray tiles in the courtyard looked particularly quiet under the dim light, and the ancient well in the center of the courtyard seemed to tell the vicissitudes of time. Avril stepped into this world and looked around, her eyes full of curiosity and exploration.

"Yuemin, is this your other home?" There was a hint of teasing in Avril's voice.

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly and nodded. "I guess so, but this is more of a memory."

Avril glared at him in dissatisfaction. "What do you mean by considered? Isn't this your home?"

Zhong Yuemin sighed and explained, "This is Qin Ling's house. I just helped take care of it after she left."

When Avril heard the name "Qinling", an inexplicable emotion flashed in her eyes. She walked up to Zhong Yuemin and stared at him closely. "It must be the woman who lives in Central Park, right? Why do both of them have a house? And I don't? Zhong Yuemin, I'm going to punish you."

Zhong Yuemin was a little confused by Avril's sudden jealousy. He smiled awkwardly and tried to change the subject. "Let's go in first. It's a bit cold outside."

However, Avril did not intend to let him go. She suddenly stretched out her hands and pushed Zhong Yuemin to the corner. Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and Zhong Yuemin could feel the faint fragrance and slightly warm body temperature coming from Avril.

"You...what are you going to do?"

Avril smiled slightly, with a sly gleam in her eyes. "I'm going to punish you and make you remember not to make me jealous again."

After saying that, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered in Zhong Yuemin's ear, "I want you to stay with me tonight."

Zhong Yuemin's heartbeat quickened by Avril's sudden action, and he felt his cheeks getting hot. He lowered his head and looked at Avril's pretty face so close to him, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

The two of them stood in the corner hugging each other, as if the whole world had stopped. It was not until a cool breeze blew that Avril gently broke free from Zhong Yuemin's embrace and took his hand to walk into the gate of the courtyard.

"Yuemin, do you know? I never thought that parting would be so heartbreaking." Avril's voice trembled a little, and tears flashed in her eyes.

Zhong Yuemin carefully reached out his hand, as if afraid of waking up the beauty in his arms, and gently pinched Avril's hand, whispering softly, "I know, Avril. But this separation is only temporary, we will definitely meet again in the future."

Avril slowly raised her head upon hearing the voice, her eyes fell on Zhong Yuemin's extremely familiar and kind face, and a warm current rose from the bottom of her heart involuntarily. Her heart was like a mirror, the man in front of her was the person she valued most in her life!

Therefore, she was determined not to show her weakness in front of the other person. After a short pause, she took a deep breath, and immediately put away all the sadness on her face, and quickly replaced it with her usual passionate and energetic smile.

"Then let's have a wild party tonight! Let's leave all the reluctance and attachment in our hearts at this moment!" Avril suggested cheerfully.

Zhong Yuemin raised his lips slightly, revealing a doting smile, indicating his acquiescence. Because he knew very well that at this moment, Avril urgently needed to vent the negative emotions that had been pent up in her heart for a long time through an indulgent joy.

I saw Avril completely letting herself go, pouring out her enthusiasm without restraint, as wild and unrestrained as a wild horse, as if trying to throw all the resentment and depression around her into the sky.

As the carnival gradually came to an end, Avril was exhausted and sweating. She leaned softly in Zhong Yuemin's broad and thick arms, quietly feeling the warmth and reassuring sense of solidity from his strong chest.

"Avril, please help me bring some capable people to the United States tomorrow!" Zhong Yuemin said seriously.

"Oh? Who is he? So important? So important that we have to send someone special to protect him?" Avril asked curiously.

"It's Qin Ling and her daughter. I'm worried about them being there, so I need someone to protect them closely."

"Then what should I do? Don't I need someone to protect me?" Avril pouted and said unhappily.

"Haha, do you still need someone to protect you? With your abilities, who can hurt you?" Zhong Yuemin joked with a smile.

"Hmph, I don't care. I need protection anyway. What if something happens?" Avril started to act like a spoiled brat.

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange some people for you tomorrow, is that okay?" Zhong Yuemin agreed helplessly.

"Hehe, that's about right. By the way, they both already have children, and I want to have one too." Avril said suddenly.

"Ah? No way, again? Let me take a break first..." Zhong Yuemin suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"No, I want it. Look at other people, they are already mothers, I also want to have my own baby. You don't have to wait to see mine..."

“Ouch…Fuck…”

After a long time, Avril gently drew circles on Zhong Yuemin's chest, looking at him with a half-smile.

"Uh...what are you doing?" Zhong Yuemin felt a little flustered when he was looked at by her.

"Xiangjun is getting married, did you know?"

"do not know?"

"So when you heard the news, you had no idea at all?" Avril stared straight into the man's eyes, trying to see some clues from his eyes.

Zhong Yuemin's body stiffened slightly, and his muscles tensed up instantly, but he quickly regained his composure and said casually, "That's a good thing! What else can I think? Just wish her the best."

Avril chuckled twice and said nothing more, but that smile made the man feel a little uneasy. He muttered to himself: What on earth is this woman thinking?

The moonlight was like water, gently sprinkled on Avril's delicate face, her eyes flashing with expectation and reluctance. She sat next to Zhong Yuemin, holding the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, as if seeking some kind of strength.

"Yuemin, what do you think about me going to Hong Kong Island later?" Avril's voice was gentle and firm, like a decision made after careful consideration.

Zhong Yuemin was slightly stunned, turned to look at her, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Well, why do you want to go to Hong Kong Island again?" he asked softly, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Avril smiled slightly, with stars twinkling in her eyes. "Just stay close to you, silly." She patted Zhong Yuemin's shoulder gently, as if to comfort him, or as if to tell herself.

"I don't care. It's up to you!" Zhong Yuemin's voice was low and firm. He knew that Avril had her own dreams and pursuits, and he was willing to support all her decisions.

"Hey! Let me go home first!" There was a hint of helplessness and determination in Avril's voice.

The early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and sprinkled onto Zhong Yuemin's face. He rubbed his heavy eyelids, but his heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something and he could not calm down.

Avril, the woman who always had a smile on her face, left the city quietly with the people arranged by Zhong Yuemin, as if her existence was to bring a spiritual shock to Zhong Yuemin at a certain moment.

In this vibrant era, a new round of municipal construction is in full swing, and the city's appearance is about to undergo a radical change.

As the reform and opening-up policy continues to deepen, numerous delegations have flocked to the West on a journey of exploration, aiming to learn advanced municipal construction concepts and unique architectural styles.

After returning to China after completing their studies, they brought not only breakthroughs and innovations in technology, but also an unprecedented aesthetic revolution.

The delegation members who returned from a long journey across the ocean were deeply impressed by the prosperity of Western cities, and their hearts were filled with pride and satisfaction. They kept muttering to themselves: "Great! So great!" as if they wanted to pass this joy on to everyone.

The city's appearance has also changed unnoticed. The towering and solemn Soviet-style buildings of the past have gradually become outdated and even a little rustic after years of baptism.

However, at this time, new buildings emerged one after another. These new buildings were magnificent, with rows of majestic columns standing in front of them, exquisite and unique windows, and the roofs were made of beautiful and elegant spiral arches. People praised this architectural style as "Baroque", which exudes a strong cultural flavor and highlights the unique charm of Western architectural art.

The heart of the city is beating at a stronger rhythm. As the demand for human resources at construction sites continues to increase, a number of moderate-sized labor markets have gradually formed on the edges of several busy streets.

Here gathered migrant workers from all corners of the country, most of whom were visiting this strange city for the first time. They looked curious and nervous, squatting on the ground cautiously, with simple wooden signs with the words "mason", "bricklayer", "carpenter" and so on placed beside them. Dozens of workers waited silently, patiently waiting for their employers to come.

Once an employer appears, they will quickly stand up, put on a simple and innocent smile on their faces, and take the initiative to approach the employer without hesitation.

Although their voices were not loud, every word they spoke was filled with their eager anticipation for work and vision for a better future.

During this period, there were very few people fighting for a job. Compared with those who would climb onto vehicles to grab the first opportunity later, people at this time seemed particularly simple and kind.

The air in the city is filled with a faint earthy smell, which is the smell of new buildings and the sweat of workers. They are intertwined together to form a unique urban smell. In this smell, people seem to be able to feel the dawn of a new era is quietly approaching.

In this land full of hope, everyone is contributing to the future of the city in his or her own way.

Today is the first day that Zhong Yuemin reports as a new teacher. He deliberately chose a low-key way, not riding the eye-catching motorcycle, but riding his long-lost 28-bar bicycle, crossing the city all the way, feeling the pulse of the city.

Zhong Yuemin pedaled his bicycle, the wheels spinning rapidly, like a flash of lightning passing through the bustling streets. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning the surrounding scenery.

Those towering Baroque buildings overlook the earth like giants; on the busy construction site, the roar of machines and the shouts of workers interweave into a passionate symphony; and the bustling passers-by are like the jumping notes on the staff, together interpreting the melody of the city's booming development.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenes in front of him, Zhong Yuemin felt an indescribable excitement. He couldn't help but whisper: "This city is really changing with each passing day, and there are earth-shaking changes every day!" While sighing, he pushed hard and sped up to the school.

Soon, Zhong Yuemin arrived at the school gate. He parked his bike steadily and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to take in all the fresh and pleasant air of the city.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Yuemin took firm steps and entered the campus in high spirits.
