Chapter 4 4 (1)
four,
Even though Lin Luxing was no longer in school, the rumors about her still continued.
After the joint entrance examination at the end of December, art students left school one after another, and traveled between the examination rooms of various universities, looking for a future.Jiang Luo lost contact with her former good friends and fell into loneliness. The person who was active in the campus with her became Du Nasha.When she stayed with Du Nasha, she would always feel a little alienated and lonely. Jiang Luo hadn't fully understood Du Nasha yet.Du Nasha is sometimes very gentle, so gentle that it is almost ferocious, and sometimes frighteningly fragile. Like an insecure child, she cannot leave the caretaker for a moment, especially her voice, which is soft and cold, is pleasant to the human heart. It reverberates, and a trembling sweetness emerges from it, like a beautiful glass doll, which will break into countless pieces if you are not careful.Du Nasha is a deep-minded, unsmiling, and very strong person. Jiang Luo originally thought that it would be difficult for him to become close to such a girl, but Du Nasha always made compromise gestures to her, which can be said to be unprincipled Due to her accommodating, Du Nasha was extremely attached to Jiang Luo.What's more, Jiang Luo accepted her kindness on Christmas Eve, so she can't escape Du Nasha no matter what.
In addition to Du Nasha, Jiang Luo also had close contacts with the classmates in the class. Du Nasha was too boring, and Jiang Luo needed to make some lively friends.On a rare free Sunday morning, they gathered in the back street of the school to visit the bookstore where a batch of new comics were on display. This was one of the few things that made Jiang Luo happy after Lin Luxing left school.They were immersed in flipping through the books they wanted, when a sharp-tongued girl suddenly said, "Last week I saw Lin Lu go."
Lin Luxing was free for a few days last week. He did go back to school and asked Jiang Luo to come out for dinner, but the meal was not pleasant. After the meal, the two of them walked around the playground for half an hour. Lin Luxing He kept silent all the time, with a weird expression, as if he was waiting for Jiang Luo to confess something to her, but Jiang Luo didn't know what to say, so he didn't dare to speak, and looked at Lin Luxing's side face anxiously, and then rang the bell for evening self-study, and the two broke up .Jiang Luo clearly remembered Lin Luxing's expression before he left, which could be said to be sad and a little angry, and she even had the illusion that the non-aggressive Lin Luxing was angry at her, and she was terrified of it.
Lin Luxing had disappeared from school for almost a month, and now the girls were talking about her again, Jiang Luo was startled.She tried her best to keep her head down and read the book, but she couldn't see anything. The characters blurred into a pitch-black piece in her eyes, and she listened to their discussion with all her attention.The girl said again: "I saw her come to the bookstore, she is actually alone, where is her boyfriend?"
"I don't know. None of us have seen her legendary tall boyfriend. She likes to hide it." Another girl continued, "But I saw her walking with the guy twice. Buying painting materials in the painting materials store, one of them is considered tall, but it doesn’t feel that tall. The other is from our school, a junior, probably not her boyfriend.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a lot of sighing among the girls: "I go out with different men every time!" The girl from before laughed strangely and screamed exaggeratedly. "She obviously has boyfriends, and she still does such things. Is she so horny? And those men are really stupid. They are all devoted to her. Can't you see that Lin Luxing treats everyone like that? I see her green tea very."
The words "do that to everyone" hurt Jiang Luo's heart. She really wanted to bury her head in the book and avoid participating in this discussion.However, the girl described Lin Luxing as green tea like no one else, which made Jiang Luo somewhat angry.I don't know when it started, Jiang Luo couldn't tolerate people other than herself spreading Lin Luxing's rumors, she didn't allow others to add all kinds of stigma to her, she was afraid that those rumors were true, and at the same time, she naturally developed a desire to protect Lin Luxing .
"Since I haven't seen her boyfriend yet, why are you so sure that she has one?" Jiang Luo put down the book in her hand and retorted, at this moment she suddenly became extremely brave: "And it's okay to go shopping with a man who isn't a boyfriend Yeah." She timidly added: "If you don't have a boyfriend."
"Tch, how do you understand this! Of course she has to hide it! If everyone knows that she has a boyfriend, then many people will not have illusions about her and rush to curry favor with her." The girl glanced around Jiang Luo yelled in a thin voice, her point of view was unanimously agreed by the others. "Lin Luxing has always had a boyfriend. Although we haven't seen it, someone has. Don't you know Du Nasha very well? You can ask Du Nasha. Du Nasha has seen them before. They are all from the drama club. That man sent her off, and..." Her tone suddenly became mysterious, and she squeezed her eyes contemptuously: "On Christmas Eve, Lin Luxing didn't go back to the dormitory, she lived outside. The people in their dormitory can To testify, Du Nasha told me that she came early the next morning and saw her and that man at the school gate!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of shy and bold ridicule among the girls, such as "It's so exciting!", "Wow, what is this!", "Is it really a college student boyfriend? Don't be taken care of by some rich man Come on!" Harsh exclamations and harsh words sounded one after another.Girls full of youth and vigor, regardless of being in a bookstore, are rudely making noise and talking about other people's personal virtues. They can't change this hobby until they are 30 years old.
Jiang Luo was stunned suddenly, dumbfounded, and grabbed the corner of his sleeve in fear.She sank into the deep sea of ice.Certain mundane details, now a tip of the fog, came to her mind.Du Nasha came back to class with Jiang Luo that morning, she thought.It was impossible for them to meet Lin Luxing on the road, and Jiang Luo would never miss Lin Luxing's figure.So, when did she see Lin Luxing?Did she go out again later?Jiang Luo couldn't remember such fine details.She was very puzzled.
The girl who insulted Lin Luxing, seeing Jiang Luo's appearance, thought she had been refuted to the point where she had nothing to say, and had doubts about Lin Luxing's character, so she couldn't help being very proud.She raised her chin, crossed her arms, looked at Jiang Luo with relief, and her voice softened, "I know you used to play well with Lin Luxing, Jiang Luo." She said in a persuasive tone, "But Lin Luxing really That's the kind of person, do you remember the man who was punished because of her last year? That's her trying to play with others. To be honest, you may not think, don't think she has anything, we can all see it. You are a man It's just too good, too honest, Jiang Luo, if someone says something, you just believe it, you are not suitable to play with Lin Luxing."
"Jiang Luo is suitable for playing with us!" The other girls laughed immediately.Their faces were filled with sincere happiness, and Jiang Luo shuddered when he thought that this happiness was based on slandering Lin Luxing.They laughed and hugged her, shouting: "Yes, Jiang Luo, play with us, we won't play tricks on you, Du Nasha is also very good."
Du Nasha is indeed fine...everyone is fine...Jiang Luo squeezed out a smile and thought confusedly, but she became more and more uneasy.There is an obvious contradiction between Du Nasha's words and the facts.And Du Nasha has always been so kind and intimate to her, so she is even more suspicious.Jiang Luo instinctively thought that there was some secret behind it. All along, Du Nasha gave her the feeling that she was more mysterious than Lin Luxing, and Du Nasha concealed her more than Lin Luxing.
Jiang Luo tried her best to calm herself down and understand this as a harmless misunderstanding, however, many doubts kept floating in her mind like lingering ghosts.After returning from the bookstore, she has been unable to solve these mysteries: Where did Lin Luxing go on Christmas Eve?When did Dunasa see her?Rumors, romances, encounters with unknown dates, and chaotic daily life seem to have traces of human manipulation.Jiang Luo has never been able to think clearly about these issues. Instead, as time passed and the incident progressed, he became more and more mired in the fog.
Jiang Luo didn't have time to get the whole thing out. The January mock exam was coming soon. Besides, the school had exams every week and a big exam every month. Her drawer was full of papers.Compared with their future, the mystery of interpersonal relationship is not worthy of Jiang Luo's attention.Moreover, seeing Lin Luxing became more and more difficult, and it was impossible to confront her.In February, Lin Luxing went to other places twice.At other times, even if she came to school, she was just like Jiang Luo, just taking exams, exams, and constant exams.
During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Luo once wanted to ask Lin Luxing out to have a heart-to-heart talk. She had calmed down a little from the frenzied relationship and regretted the recklessness in the past. She hoped to at least eliminate the barrier between the two and win back Lin Luxing's love. friendship.This humble hope has still not been realized. Several messages to Lin Luxing have not been responded to, and no one has answered the phone calls. Lin Luxing seems to have given his mobile phone to his family.It seemed that she was really preparing for the exam seriously. Compared with Lin Luxing's usual frivolous attitude towards study, it was completely different. Jiang Luo felt abandoned again.Lin Luxing would go to a very good school, she thought full of disappointment, maybe Lin Luxing would go to a good school, and then she would completely leave Jiang Luo behind.
What made Jiang Luo feel relieved was that Du Nasha was still the same as before, and even secretly read Shakespeare's sonnets underneath during English class.If Jiang Luo asked, she would read poems to her during lunch break and evening self-study.Du Nasha still likes poetry so much, and the time when she is the most tender is when she is reading poems for Jiang Luo.Jiang Luo once asked Du Nasha if there was any school she planned to go to. Du Nasha thought for a moment, leaned her head on her shoulder, and replied indifferently: "It depends on the situation."
The cold winter finally passed, the weather warmed up, and in mid-March, all the school exams were over, art students returned to school one after another, they didn't have to practice painting anymore, the white studio became empty, like Abandoned old building.At this time, the golden winter jasmine flowers planted on the campus bloomed. In this extremely dull season, only those brilliant branches remained alive, hanging down from the flower bed like a waterfall, conveying the distant future to the students trapped in the cage. of spring.White butterflies hover above the flower beds and flap their wings among the gray buildings. When students rush into the classroom with the bell, they can often be seen flying slowly through the air.These butterflies represent the last days of high school, and when the seniors graduate, they will die on campus like the petals of a spring day.
Lin Luxing also came back, and before coming, he even sent a message to Jiang Luo, inviting him to go out to drink coffee with Jiang Luo.Jiang Luo was already bored with the suffocating life of preparing for the exam. After receiving Lin Luxing's greeting for a long time, it felt like a lifetime away. She and Lin Luxing hadn't seen each other for almost two months. In the past month, she has done countless papers and heard countless rumors.She thought it was a good opportunity to solve the mystery, so she revived her hopes for the Spring Festival.The day Lin Luxing came was the day of class, Jiang Luo skipped math class without hesitation, bypassed the patrolling security guards on campus, and went to Lin Luxing's dormitory to find her. tall castle.
Just like her last visit, the dormitory was empty and everyone had gone to class.The door and windows of Lin Luxing's dormitory were open, a slight spring breeze came in, the curtains were brightly illuminated by the sun, many things had been cleared away, and the dormitory looked very spacious.Lin Luxing sat on the bed, an empty and opened suitcase was thrown at her feet.Humming softly, she folded the clothes she took out of the closet one by one, and put them into the suitcase.Jiang Luo glanced at her at the door and understood the current situation. Lin Luxing was about to move out, and she would not come to school again.Her excitement disappeared without a trace at this moment, and her joy turned into disappointment. Jiang Luo trembled slightly, and it was difficult for her to step into this bedroom.
Lin Luxing raised his head, glanced at her, patted the empty seat beside him, and motioned for her to come and sit down.I haven't seen her for two months. Lin Luxing has become a little plump, but she still looks good, and she is even whiter than before.She changed into a light spring dress, a light yellow dress with a creamy white long knit coat, and white thick stockings on her legs.These clothes are all new, Jiang Luo has never seen them.With difficulty, Jiang Luo moved to sit next to Lin Luxing, put her hands on her knees restlessly, and looked at the silhouette of Lin Luxing packing her things. She wanted to prevent her from erasing her traces from this place, and wanted to question her, but she didn't know how to do so. I don't know what to ask, they haven't seen each other for a long time.Looking at Lin Luxing's face, she felt that everything was meaningless.
Lin Luxing turned her head, Jiang Luo moved her eyes away, and looked around awkwardly. At this moment, she saw a large black stamp album on Lin Luxing's desk, and immediately picked it up as if seeing a savior.
"Stamp album? You actually have this thing. Do you collect stamps?"
Lin Luxing stretched out a hand towards Jiang Luo, as if she didn't want the booklet to be opened by her, but unfortunately she was a step too late, Jiang Luo opened a page randomly, and saw many dead butterflies in the rectangular plastic interlayer where the stamps were originally placed, densely packed , different postures, mostly common black and white.She gave a cry of surprise and nearly threw the stamp album.Fortunately, she calmed down quickly, knowing that it would be shameful to show panic at this time, instead she grabbed the edge of the booklet and looked at them boldly.Those butterflies obviously withered naturally, and experienced some struggles before they died. Their wings were closed, and their wings were incomplete. Pattern of fallen leaves.The body part of the butterfly was pinched and flattened. I don't know if it has been treated with embalming. It is black and fluffy, and hangs down in the center of its wings horribly.
"Did you collect this?" Jiang Luo's scalp was numb, and he asked, "You never told me about it... So you like these."
Lin Luxing nodded helplessly. "At the turn of spring and summer..." She pursed her lips and said, "On my way to class, I often saw dead butterflies in the school, or dying ones, surrounded by ants. I don't know why, very I want to keep them, but I don’t want them to disappear like this, I will pick them up every time I see them, and gradually there are so many..." Her eyelashes trembled slightly: "I have had this hobby for a long time, and I have been secretly It’s probably the same feeling as collecting fallen flowers, I feel that spring is over, it’s a pity..."
"Why pick up the dead ones? You might as well catch the live ones, it's beautiful and not incomplete." Jiang Luo chuckled and said quickly.Her smile was not without malice, and she said these words out of an extremely strange state of mind, and her voice was extremely high-pitched.She actually doesn't like Lin Luxing doing such a thing, she thinks Lin Luxing is cruel, and she hates Lin Luxing's cruelty.From the dead butterfly, she glimpsed the bottomless abyss of darkness in Lin Luxing's heart. Lin Luxing made her feel unfamiliar fear, and Jiang Luo deliberately spoke darker words in order to dispel this fear.
"I've heard that butterflies are scavengers. They're very dirty. They suck blood. These are dead bodies."
"It also depends on the breed..." Lin Luxing said.
"Even if that's the case, the butterflies in our school are all very common. You can take advantage of spring—it's spring now. If you're free, you can go to the park on the mountain. There are all kinds of butterflies out there, I've seen them, they're big, they're beautiful. You go with a net, cover them, and put them in a bag, or a bottle? I don't know, gas them Poisoned, they will fall from the sky like leaves, very beautiful butterflies, grew up in the mountains, it is their best time, just broke the cocoon, not old, the wings are still wet. Then use a pin to go through their The body, nail them in a specimen box, hang them on the wall, and you can enjoy them. The specimens produced in this way should be special and perfect. Since you like butterflies, you should do this.”
"I...I won't." Lin Luxing interrupted Jiang Luo's triumphant speech, and eagerly argued, she suddenly grabbed Jiang Luo's hand.
"I know, you are afraid of dead butterflies," she said, looking down. "If I really go to the wild to catch butterflies as specimens, you will be angry and you will treat me as a monster. You are just worried that I will really hurt butterflies. I will not poison butterflies with poison gas, and I will not make specimens, so you Do not worry."
Jiang Luo's eyes widened angrily.If she had been braver, she would have categorically refuted, but she could not deny Lin Luxing's words, she had seen through her.Her wrist was held by Lin Luxing, and she struggled slightly.Jiang Luo originally wanted to break free from her, but the other party didn't use any force, and she couldn't do it herself.Jiang Luo sighed for a long time, closed the stamp album containing the butterflies, and put it in the suitcase.
"Are you... going to bed now?" She said in a soothing tone.
"Yes. My family asked me to suspend my studies... I asked experts to guide me from outside." Lin Luxing nodded, and replied timidly: "I changed my mind. I don't want to go to a local university. I want to go to Beijing."
"You're crazy!" Jiang Luo yelled, and she suddenly lowered her voice: "Schools in Beijing are so difficult to pass, and the scores in cultural subjects are very high. Why...why do you have to travel so far away?" ?” She asked with the last glimmer of hope: “Aren’t there many good universities in the local area, and the local admission threshold is not high.”
"I don't want to stay here." Lin Luxing said with flickering eyes. She seemed a little impatient, closed the suitcase, and tapped the heel of her round-toed leather shoes on the ground: "Why are you persuading me? I don't want to stay here A city..." She stood up, sat down again, and smiled at Jiang Luo: "So today may be the last time we meet. Don't talk about those unhappy things. I want to invite you to drink coffee, in a newly opened The coffee shop is not far away, I like it very much.”
In fact, it may not be the last time we meet, at least there is still a whole summer vacation to have fun, and there is also a university vacation... Ever since he accepted the fact that there will be a day of parting, Jiang Luo has pinned his hopes on those distant futures.Lin Luxing easily shattered these fantasies.She said it so decisively on purpose, just to cut off all Jiang Luo's hope.When saying goodbye to her, Lin Luxing's voice and expression were quite happy, as if seeing Jiang Luo again made her very happy, and she was hurting Jiang Luo.Jiang Luo realized this sadly, hurting herself made her happy.
"Then let's go." She tried her best not to show a sad expression, and replied briskly, "I don't have class today."
Jiang Luo was not particularly depressed at the time, many questions grabbed her heart.She didn't feel the seriousness of the matter personally, and she was eagerly waiting for the time to solve it.In any case, at least confirm to Lin Luxing whether Du Nasha's words are true or not, and her whereabouts on Christmas Eve... Jiang Luo instinctively felt that if the mystery between them was resolved, their relationship would become clearer .There are often misunderstandings between Lin Luxing and Jiang Luo, some caused by Lin Luxing, and some caused by her. If all the mysteries can be clarified, their relationship will not be so ambiguous, full of suspicion, temptation, torture and mutual harm .They were literally hurting each other, and with an anxious longing.
However, when she walked out of the school gate, all of Jiang Luo's plans were disrupted. To put it more seriously, at that moment, all her thoughts stopped abruptly, and she couldn't even feel her own breathing and heartbeat.As she became more aware of what was happening before her, she had no more questions to ask, no doubts to express.She saw a man who fit all of Du Nasha's description: tall, wearing glasses, and looked like a college student.He carried Lin Luxing's drawing board and her paint box, and stood in the shade of the school gate waiting for her.When she came into his sight, he immediately smiled happily at her, that smile was equivalent to a pet dog wagging its tail at its owner, and he ran towards her in small steps, regardless of the heavy things on his back.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Lin Lu walked up to him and said guiltily.
"It's okay." The man regained his energy and immediately became talkative. "Are you hot? Are you cold? Are you tired? Do you want some water? Where are you going next? Ah yes, take this for me too." He couldn't help but snatch the suitcase from Lin Luxing's hand. "Have you seen the teacher? Did you say goodbye to your roommate? Did you meet your best friend?" He said, and finally noticed Jiang Luo standing behind Lin Luxing. Jiang Luo and him looked at each other awkwardly. The man was polite. With a smile, he turned to Lin Luxing and asked, "Is this your classmate?"
"Well, she's a classmate of mine, and she used to have a good relationship with me." Lin Luxing said flatly: "I want to go to the coffee shop with her for a cup of coffee. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Can you send the things back for me first?" ?” She accentuated her tone slightly, her eyes seemed to be coquettish: “I’ll give you the key to my house.”
Of course, the man was overjoyed, as if he had received the crown of power, he took the key that Lin Luxing took out. There is no doubt that Lin Luxing gave him some kind of power through this.However, Lin Luxing hinted so clearly, and it was still in front of him, which made Jiang Luo furious.Afterwards, during the whole process of getting along with Lin Luxing, she felt embarrassed and humiliated. She had never suffered such humiliation since she was born.She hated herself for not doubting Du Nasha, for not defending Lin Luxing in front of those classmates, Lin Luxing didn't care about these things at all, everything they said was right!Lin Luxing is indeed a person who cannot live without a man. She deliberately conceals her boyfriend, and then silently watches everyone make a fool of herself in front of her. This is all the joy of her life, so if no one falls into her net , she will show a lonely expression, as if living in nothingness.
Jiang Luo didn't remember how she followed Lin Luxing to the coffee shop. She wanted to find that way again in the future, but she found that she had no memory.She didn't remember what coffee she ordered. Lin Luxing kept urging her, so she randomly chose an unfamiliar name in her anger. tears.Lin Luxing slowly stirred the coffee with a shell-shaped silver spoon, and suddenly asked: "You have a very good relationship with Du Nasha recently. Are you getting along well?"
"Very good." Jiang Luo paused and closed his eyes: "She's fine."
"What are you doing on Christmas Eve?" After a while, Lin Luxing asked tentatively.
This is a question that Jiang Luo has always wanted to confirm with Lin Luxing. A few hours ago, she still couldn't ask for it.But now, the encounter at the school gate has explained everything, she has lost interest in the so-called truth, no matter what she asks, it is meaningless, and knowing those details will only hurt her more deeply.She simply didn't want to talk nonsense with Lin Luxing.
"It's nothing." Jiang Luo said, opened his eyes and looked out the window: "At home."
Lin Luxing picked up the white porcelain cup with gold rim and took a small sip: "It's good to be at home." She said mockingly: "I guess you are also at home, you slept well, right?"
Her question was very strange. Jiang Luo thought of the experience of being lost and wandering on the street that night, and thought of Lin Luxing who disappeared that night, most likely it was Lin Luxing who participated in the carnival with a man in a bright downtown area. She couldn't help but sneered. She thought of herself It was ridiculed.
"I didn't sleep." She replied stiffly.
"Really? Didn't you sleep so? No wonder." Unexpectedly, Lin Luxing acted angrier than her, and her gentle facial features were distorted. Shaped napkins, the paper scratched by manicured fingernails.Lin Luxing stirred the coffee again, suddenly lost her temper, and threw the spoon into the coffee cup in front of her. The metal spoon collided with the white porcelain, making a crisp sound, and light brown waves splashed in front of her. The aroma became stronger and stronger.Lin Luxing lowered her head and desperately searched for the things in the bag. She buried her head very low and searched for a long time, then took out a rose gold lipstick and a small mirror, and daubed her lips vigorously in front of the mirror.
...it's an expensive lipstick and it's new.Jiang Luo looked at her numbly, and couldn't help but think wildly, maybe the man bought it for her, a Christmas present, or a New Year's present.Such a small lipstick, worth about three hundred yuan, is the most pleasing to vain women.But it's not a waste to use it for Lin Lu, the color suits her very well, and her lips are so plump and beautiful.When she puts on the lipstick given by the man, she will kiss the man, print the lipstick on the man's shirt, and print it on the title page of his college textbook. Every time he goes to class, sits in the classroom, opens the book, and smells her. smell, see her kiss...
"Why are you staring at me?" Lin Luxing asked coldly after finishing her makeup, sitting up straight.
"It's nothing." Jiang Luo broke free from the suffocating reverie, deliberately pretending to be envious of her cosmetics. "Your lipstick...beautiful. What shade is it?"
"What color number?" Lin Luxing repeated in a murmur, as if she had made some kind of determination to throw all the boats.She raised her finger, put it on her lips, and wiped it vigorously on the expensive lipstick that she had just applied. Before Jiang Luo could be surprised, Lin Luxing pressed it on with her bright red fingertips before she could take precautions. her face.Jiang Luo felt the burning and slight pain when the skin was rubbed, which was mixed with the softness and slipperiness of the lip products. Lin Lu rubbed all the lipstick on her face with her fingertips, forming a vivid mark.
"It's this color." Lin Luxing looked at her and said calmly, then she stood up and hurried out of the cafe.
This meeting ended in discord.Sitting alone in the cafe, Jiang Luo thought that he had suffered an unparalleled humiliation, and almost cried out.She went home dejectedly. That night, she stayed up all night and was tortured by intense pain. Her heart was full of remorse and unrealistic delusions. All kinds of distracting thoughts kept pestering her, making her unable to calm down.Jiang Luo recalled all the things she had known Lin Luxing for half a year, and every time she thought of one, the pain intensified, and she couldn't even lie down properly. Jiang Luo jumped out of bed in her pajamas and wandered around the house like a ghost.The house was pitch-dark, with all the doors open, and the moonlight from the windows fell on the hallway floor and shone on her face.The moon only shines on her. At two o'clock in the night, people who have no pain have already slept peacefully, and the only one left is her, a poor lonely ghost.Jiang Luo opened the door of the house and walked around the university. The university in the middle of the night was as sinister and terrifying as a deep mountain. Jiang Luo walked across the artificial lake and almost jumped into it. The black reflection of the lake startled her.She eventually went back, shivering from the cold, and sat shivering on the floor of her home until dawn.
The next day, she went to school as usual, as if she had lost her soul. It took a long time to react to what others said, or she couldn't answer well at all. In the fourth class in the morning, she finally fell asleep.There were two in-class exams that afternoon, and she did poorly in both of them. Because of this, she was called to the office after school to be reprimanded.Accepting the adult's reprimand is beneficial to her. Jiang Luo almost never relies on the adult, and she doesn't know that she can rely on the adult for many things.She cried in the office, which frightened the teachers. They thought they were training her too hard, but they changed their attitudes, comforted her, and patiently explained the wrong questions to her.Du Nasha had been standing at the door of the teacher's office waiting for her, and couldn't drive her away. Seeing this scene, the teachers couldn't help laughing, and said to Du Nasha, "Comfort your friend!" and let Jiang Luo go. up.
Then one day, two days, one week, one month passed.Jiang Luo gradually calmed down, her wounds were growing and slowly recovering.Du Nasha accompanied her without any complaints, and her relationship with Du Nasha became more and more intimate.Dunasha was an oddball, but also a solid friend.Jiang Luo seeks healing from her, she no longer thinks about Lin Luxing, the busy schoolwork drowns out trivial worries, she swallows the painful feelings and suppresses them in her heart.She had vowed never to go to Lin Lu again, and cutting off all contact with her was the only way to save her.Lin Luxing wanted to be admitted to a good university in Beijing, Jiang Luo also had to fight for a promising future for herself, she couldn't lose to Lin Luxing.
In this way, she persisted until June, the weather became extremely hot, the sunlight shining into the classroom became stronger every day, and the humid summer in the south made it unbearable.On the day of taking graduation photos, Lin Luxing went to take photos with art students and sat in their classrooms for half an hour, bid farewell to them, and chatted with them about their plans for the future. It seemed that in an instant, they grew up like butterflies breaking out of their cocoons Now, there is a clear decision about the future.Jiang Luo looked around the classroom where there were not many people left. Sure enough, Lin Luxing didn't even attend the graduation ceremony. In addition to being disappointed, she suddenly had the illusion that time was still stuck in last year. Lou, came to the class of art students to find Lin Luxing, sometimes in the class, sometimes went outside with Lin Luxing, she would never return to class until the bell rang, everyone in the art class knew her.At that time, she was surrounded by laughter and laughter, and the autumn sun was bright and gentle. It seemed that there was still a long time before graduation. They had just met, and there were still countless possibilities and a long future.Those days are like golden mayflies, flying with transparent wings, fleeting.The scorching sun of summer soon began to torture the world cruelly, continuously evaporating the lives and youth of the girls.
The college entrance examination passed without incident, and when he finished the last subject and put down his pen, Jiang Luo knew that he had books to read.She applied for a very ordinary university, which would not make people envious or ridiculed.She walked out of the high school where she was taking the exam, and took one last look at the world map hanging on the wall of the stairwell.In the future, they will no longer learn so many subjects, and will not be forced to recite general geography. They are no longer children who need to know the world and receive knowledge indoctrination. High school life is over, and all grievances and grievances are over.
At the beginning of July, Jiang Luo dialed Lin Luxing's phone number in the torment of the scorching heat. With a nervous mood, she rummaged through the book that had copied Lin Luxing's phone number in the corner of the room. She deleted Lin Luxing's number in the phone. .This was not long after the scores were announced, and it was also Lin Luxing's birthday. Jiang Luo was still thinking about her, and wanted to know which university she went to and whether she could go to the ideal city. She planned to end it with a farewell. Ridiculous story, she dialed Lin Luxing's number while feeling desperate for her own lowliness.After all, she was still Lin Luxing's friend, Jiang Luo convinced herself that her phone screen was wet with sweat.The phone was picked up, and Lin Luxing said "Hello?"
"Happy 20th birthday. That...that..."
"I failed the exam." Lin Luxing said: "I didn't pass the first choice. Then I gave up."
There was a gap in the dialogue, and all the lines that Jiang Luo had thought up suddenly lost their usefulness. She had already prepared for disappointment and jealousy. In her heart, Lin Luxing would definitely be admitted to a good school. Everyone will be happy.So when she
Even though Lin Luxing was no longer in school, the rumors about her still continued.
After the joint entrance examination at the end of December, art students left school one after another, and traveled between the examination rooms of various universities, looking for a future.Jiang Luo lost contact with her former good friends and fell into loneliness. The person who was active in the campus with her became Du Nasha.When she stayed with Du Nasha, she would always feel a little alienated and lonely. Jiang Luo hadn't fully understood Du Nasha yet.Du Nasha is sometimes very gentle, so gentle that it is almost ferocious, and sometimes frighteningly fragile. Like an insecure child, she cannot leave the caretaker for a moment, especially her voice, which is soft and cold, is pleasant to the human heart. It reverberates, and a trembling sweetness emerges from it, like a beautiful glass doll, which will break into countless pieces if you are not careful.Du Nasha is a deep-minded, unsmiling, and very strong person. Jiang Luo originally thought that it would be difficult for him to become close to such a girl, but Du Nasha always made compromise gestures to her, which can be said to be unprincipled Due to her accommodating, Du Nasha was extremely attached to Jiang Luo.What's more, Jiang Luo accepted her kindness on Christmas Eve, so she can't escape Du Nasha no matter what.
In addition to Du Nasha, Jiang Luo also had close contacts with the classmates in the class. Du Nasha was too boring, and Jiang Luo needed to make some lively friends.On a rare free Sunday morning, they gathered in the back street of the school to visit the bookstore where a batch of new comics were on display. This was one of the few things that made Jiang Luo happy after Lin Luxing left school.They were immersed in flipping through the books they wanted, when a sharp-tongued girl suddenly said, "Last week I saw Lin Lu go."
Lin Luxing was free for a few days last week. He did go back to school and asked Jiang Luo to come out for dinner, but the meal was not pleasant. After the meal, the two of them walked around the playground for half an hour. Lin Luxing He kept silent all the time, with a weird expression, as if he was waiting for Jiang Luo to confess something to her, but Jiang Luo didn't know what to say, so he didn't dare to speak, and looked at Lin Luxing's side face anxiously, and then rang the bell for evening self-study, and the two broke up .Jiang Luo clearly remembered Lin Luxing's expression before he left, which could be said to be sad and a little angry, and she even had the illusion that the non-aggressive Lin Luxing was angry at her, and she was terrified of it.
Lin Luxing had disappeared from school for almost a month, and now the girls were talking about her again, Jiang Luo was startled.She tried her best to keep her head down and read the book, but she couldn't see anything. The characters blurred into a pitch-black piece in her eyes, and she listened to their discussion with all her attention.The girl said again: "I saw her come to the bookstore, she is actually alone, where is her boyfriend?"
"I don't know. None of us have seen her legendary tall boyfriend. She likes to hide it." Another girl continued, "But I saw her walking with the guy twice. Buying painting materials in the painting materials store, one of them is considered tall, but it doesn’t feel that tall. The other is from our school, a junior, probably not her boyfriend.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a lot of sighing among the girls: "I go out with different men every time!" The girl from before laughed strangely and screamed exaggeratedly. "She obviously has boyfriends, and she still does such things. Is she so horny? And those men are really stupid. They are all devoted to her. Can't you see that Lin Luxing treats everyone like that? I see her green tea very."
The words "do that to everyone" hurt Jiang Luo's heart. She really wanted to bury her head in the book and avoid participating in this discussion.However, the girl described Lin Luxing as green tea like no one else, which made Jiang Luo somewhat angry.I don't know when it started, Jiang Luo couldn't tolerate people other than herself spreading Lin Luxing's rumors, she didn't allow others to add all kinds of stigma to her, she was afraid that those rumors were true, and at the same time, she naturally developed a desire to protect Lin Luxing .
"Since I haven't seen her boyfriend yet, why are you so sure that she has one?" Jiang Luo put down the book in her hand and retorted, at this moment she suddenly became extremely brave: "And it's okay to go shopping with a man who isn't a boyfriend Yeah." She timidly added: "If you don't have a boyfriend."
"Tch, how do you understand this! Of course she has to hide it! If everyone knows that she has a boyfriend, then many people will not have illusions about her and rush to curry favor with her." The girl glanced around Jiang Luo yelled in a thin voice, her point of view was unanimously agreed by the others. "Lin Luxing has always had a boyfriend. Although we haven't seen it, someone has. Don't you know Du Nasha very well? You can ask Du Nasha. Du Nasha has seen them before. They are all from the drama club. That man sent her off, and..." Her tone suddenly became mysterious, and she squeezed her eyes contemptuously: "On Christmas Eve, Lin Luxing didn't go back to the dormitory, she lived outside. The people in their dormitory can To testify, Du Nasha told me that she came early the next morning and saw her and that man at the school gate!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of shy and bold ridicule among the girls, such as "It's so exciting!", "Wow, what is this!", "Is it really a college student boyfriend? Don't be taken care of by some rich man Come on!" Harsh exclamations and harsh words sounded one after another.Girls full of youth and vigor, regardless of being in a bookstore, are rudely making noise and talking about other people's personal virtues. They can't change this hobby until they are 30 years old.
Jiang Luo was stunned suddenly, dumbfounded, and grabbed the corner of his sleeve in fear.She sank into the deep sea of ice.Certain mundane details, now a tip of the fog, came to her mind.Du Nasha came back to class with Jiang Luo that morning, she thought.It was impossible for them to meet Lin Luxing on the road, and Jiang Luo would never miss Lin Luxing's figure.So, when did she see Lin Luxing?Did she go out again later?Jiang Luo couldn't remember such fine details.She was very puzzled.
The girl who insulted Lin Luxing, seeing Jiang Luo's appearance, thought she had been refuted to the point where she had nothing to say, and had doubts about Lin Luxing's character, so she couldn't help being very proud.She raised her chin, crossed her arms, looked at Jiang Luo with relief, and her voice softened, "I know you used to play well with Lin Luxing, Jiang Luo." She said in a persuasive tone, "But Lin Luxing really That's the kind of person, do you remember the man who was punished because of her last year? That's her trying to play with others. To be honest, you may not think, don't think she has anything, we can all see it. You are a man It's just too good, too honest, Jiang Luo, if someone says something, you just believe it, you are not suitable to play with Lin Luxing."
"Jiang Luo is suitable for playing with us!" The other girls laughed immediately.Their faces were filled with sincere happiness, and Jiang Luo shuddered when he thought that this happiness was based on slandering Lin Luxing.They laughed and hugged her, shouting: "Yes, Jiang Luo, play with us, we won't play tricks on you, Du Nasha is also very good."
Du Nasha is indeed fine...everyone is fine...Jiang Luo squeezed out a smile and thought confusedly, but she became more and more uneasy.There is an obvious contradiction between Du Nasha's words and the facts.And Du Nasha has always been so kind and intimate to her, so she is even more suspicious.Jiang Luo instinctively thought that there was some secret behind it. All along, Du Nasha gave her the feeling that she was more mysterious than Lin Luxing, and Du Nasha concealed her more than Lin Luxing.
Jiang Luo tried her best to calm herself down and understand this as a harmless misunderstanding, however, many doubts kept floating in her mind like lingering ghosts.After returning from the bookstore, she has been unable to solve these mysteries: Where did Lin Luxing go on Christmas Eve?When did Dunasa see her?Rumors, romances, encounters with unknown dates, and chaotic daily life seem to have traces of human manipulation.Jiang Luo has never been able to think clearly about these issues. Instead, as time passed and the incident progressed, he became more and more mired in the fog.
Jiang Luo didn't have time to get the whole thing out. The January mock exam was coming soon. Besides, the school had exams every week and a big exam every month. Her drawer was full of papers.Compared with their future, the mystery of interpersonal relationship is not worthy of Jiang Luo's attention.Moreover, seeing Lin Luxing became more and more difficult, and it was impossible to confront her.In February, Lin Luxing went to other places twice.At other times, even if she came to school, she was just like Jiang Luo, just taking exams, exams, and constant exams.
During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Luo once wanted to ask Lin Luxing out to have a heart-to-heart talk. She had calmed down a little from the frenzied relationship and regretted the recklessness in the past. She hoped to at least eliminate the barrier between the two and win back Lin Luxing's love. friendship.This humble hope has still not been realized. Several messages to Lin Luxing have not been responded to, and no one has answered the phone calls. Lin Luxing seems to have given his mobile phone to his family.It seemed that she was really preparing for the exam seriously. Compared with Lin Luxing's usual frivolous attitude towards study, it was completely different. Jiang Luo felt abandoned again.Lin Luxing would go to a very good school, she thought full of disappointment, maybe Lin Luxing would go to a good school, and then she would completely leave Jiang Luo behind.
What made Jiang Luo feel relieved was that Du Nasha was still the same as before, and even secretly read Shakespeare's sonnets underneath during English class.If Jiang Luo asked, she would read poems to her during lunch break and evening self-study.Du Nasha still likes poetry so much, and the time when she is the most tender is when she is reading poems for Jiang Luo.Jiang Luo once asked Du Nasha if there was any school she planned to go to. Du Nasha thought for a moment, leaned her head on her shoulder, and replied indifferently: "It depends on the situation."
The cold winter finally passed, the weather warmed up, and in mid-March, all the school exams were over, art students returned to school one after another, they didn't have to practice painting anymore, the white studio became empty, like Abandoned old building.At this time, the golden winter jasmine flowers planted on the campus bloomed. In this extremely dull season, only those brilliant branches remained alive, hanging down from the flower bed like a waterfall, conveying the distant future to the students trapped in the cage. of spring.White butterflies hover above the flower beds and flap their wings among the gray buildings. When students rush into the classroom with the bell, they can often be seen flying slowly through the air.These butterflies represent the last days of high school, and when the seniors graduate, they will die on campus like the petals of a spring day.
Lin Luxing also came back, and before coming, he even sent a message to Jiang Luo, inviting him to go out to drink coffee with Jiang Luo.Jiang Luo was already bored with the suffocating life of preparing for the exam. After receiving Lin Luxing's greeting for a long time, it felt like a lifetime away. She and Lin Luxing hadn't seen each other for almost two months. In the past month, she has done countless papers and heard countless rumors.She thought it was a good opportunity to solve the mystery, so she revived her hopes for the Spring Festival.The day Lin Luxing came was the day of class, Jiang Luo skipped math class without hesitation, bypassed the patrolling security guards on campus, and went to Lin Luxing's dormitory to find her. tall castle.
Just like her last visit, the dormitory was empty and everyone had gone to class.The door and windows of Lin Luxing's dormitory were open, a slight spring breeze came in, the curtains were brightly illuminated by the sun, many things had been cleared away, and the dormitory looked very spacious.Lin Luxing sat on the bed, an empty and opened suitcase was thrown at her feet.Humming softly, she folded the clothes she took out of the closet one by one, and put them into the suitcase.Jiang Luo glanced at her at the door and understood the current situation. Lin Luxing was about to move out, and she would not come to school again.Her excitement disappeared without a trace at this moment, and her joy turned into disappointment. Jiang Luo trembled slightly, and it was difficult for her to step into this bedroom.
Lin Luxing raised his head, glanced at her, patted the empty seat beside him, and motioned for her to come and sit down.I haven't seen her for two months. Lin Luxing has become a little plump, but she still looks good, and she is even whiter than before.She changed into a light spring dress, a light yellow dress with a creamy white long knit coat, and white thick stockings on her legs.These clothes are all new, Jiang Luo has never seen them.With difficulty, Jiang Luo moved to sit next to Lin Luxing, put her hands on her knees restlessly, and looked at the silhouette of Lin Luxing packing her things. She wanted to prevent her from erasing her traces from this place, and wanted to question her, but she didn't know how to do so. I don't know what to ask, they haven't seen each other for a long time.Looking at Lin Luxing's face, she felt that everything was meaningless.
Lin Luxing turned her head, Jiang Luo moved her eyes away, and looked around awkwardly. At this moment, she saw a large black stamp album on Lin Luxing's desk, and immediately picked it up as if seeing a savior.
"Stamp album? You actually have this thing. Do you collect stamps?"
Lin Luxing stretched out a hand towards Jiang Luo, as if she didn't want the booklet to be opened by her, but unfortunately she was a step too late, Jiang Luo opened a page randomly, and saw many dead butterflies in the rectangular plastic interlayer where the stamps were originally placed, densely packed , different postures, mostly common black and white.She gave a cry of surprise and nearly threw the stamp album.Fortunately, she calmed down quickly, knowing that it would be shameful to show panic at this time, instead she grabbed the edge of the booklet and looked at them boldly.Those butterflies obviously withered naturally, and experienced some struggles before they died. Their wings were closed, and their wings were incomplete. Pattern of fallen leaves.The body part of the butterfly was pinched and flattened. I don't know if it has been treated with embalming. It is black and fluffy, and hangs down in the center of its wings horribly.
"Did you collect this?" Jiang Luo's scalp was numb, and he asked, "You never told me about it... So you like these."
Lin Luxing nodded helplessly. "At the turn of spring and summer..." She pursed her lips and said, "On my way to class, I often saw dead butterflies in the school, or dying ones, surrounded by ants. I don't know why, very I want to keep them, but I don’t want them to disappear like this, I will pick them up every time I see them, and gradually there are so many..." Her eyelashes trembled slightly: "I have had this hobby for a long time, and I have been secretly It’s probably the same feeling as collecting fallen flowers, I feel that spring is over, it’s a pity..."
"Why pick up the dead ones? You might as well catch the live ones, it's beautiful and not incomplete." Jiang Luo chuckled and said quickly.Her smile was not without malice, and she said these words out of an extremely strange state of mind, and her voice was extremely high-pitched.She actually doesn't like Lin Luxing doing such a thing, she thinks Lin Luxing is cruel, and she hates Lin Luxing's cruelty.From the dead butterfly, she glimpsed the bottomless abyss of darkness in Lin Luxing's heart. Lin Luxing made her feel unfamiliar fear, and Jiang Luo deliberately spoke darker words in order to dispel this fear.
"I've heard that butterflies are scavengers. They're very dirty. They suck blood. These are dead bodies."
"It also depends on the breed..." Lin Luxing said.
"Even if that's the case, the butterflies in our school are all very common. You can take advantage of spring—it's spring now. If you're free, you can go to the park on the mountain. There are all kinds of butterflies out there, I've seen them, they're big, they're beautiful. You go with a net, cover them, and put them in a bag, or a bottle? I don't know, gas them Poisoned, they will fall from the sky like leaves, very beautiful butterflies, grew up in the mountains, it is their best time, just broke the cocoon, not old, the wings are still wet. Then use a pin to go through their The body, nail them in a specimen box, hang them on the wall, and you can enjoy them. The specimens produced in this way should be special and perfect. Since you like butterflies, you should do this.”
"I...I won't." Lin Luxing interrupted Jiang Luo's triumphant speech, and eagerly argued, she suddenly grabbed Jiang Luo's hand.
"I know, you are afraid of dead butterflies," she said, looking down. "If I really go to the wild to catch butterflies as specimens, you will be angry and you will treat me as a monster. You are just worried that I will really hurt butterflies. I will not poison butterflies with poison gas, and I will not make specimens, so you Do not worry."
Jiang Luo's eyes widened angrily.If she had been braver, she would have categorically refuted, but she could not deny Lin Luxing's words, she had seen through her.Her wrist was held by Lin Luxing, and she struggled slightly.Jiang Luo originally wanted to break free from her, but the other party didn't use any force, and she couldn't do it herself.Jiang Luo sighed for a long time, closed the stamp album containing the butterflies, and put it in the suitcase.
"Are you... going to bed now?" She said in a soothing tone.
"Yes. My family asked me to suspend my studies... I asked experts to guide me from outside." Lin Luxing nodded, and replied timidly: "I changed my mind. I don't want to go to a local university. I want to go to Beijing."
"You're crazy!" Jiang Luo yelled, and she suddenly lowered her voice: "Schools in Beijing are so difficult to pass, and the scores in cultural subjects are very high. Why...why do you have to travel so far away?" ?” She asked with the last glimmer of hope: “Aren’t there many good universities in the local area, and the local admission threshold is not high.”
"I don't want to stay here." Lin Luxing said with flickering eyes. She seemed a little impatient, closed the suitcase, and tapped the heel of her round-toed leather shoes on the ground: "Why are you persuading me? I don't want to stay here A city..." She stood up, sat down again, and smiled at Jiang Luo: "So today may be the last time we meet. Don't talk about those unhappy things. I want to invite you to drink coffee, in a newly opened The coffee shop is not far away, I like it very much.”
In fact, it may not be the last time we meet, at least there is still a whole summer vacation to have fun, and there is also a university vacation... Ever since he accepted the fact that there will be a day of parting, Jiang Luo has pinned his hopes on those distant futures.Lin Luxing easily shattered these fantasies.She said it so decisively on purpose, just to cut off all Jiang Luo's hope.When saying goodbye to her, Lin Luxing's voice and expression were quite happy, as if seeing Jiang Luo again made her very happy, and she was hurting Jiang Luo.Jiang Luo realized this sadly, hurting herself made her happy.
"Then let's go." She tried her best not to show a sad expression, and replied briskly, "I don't have class today."
Jiang Luo was not particularly depressed at the time, many questions grabbed her heart.She didn't feel the seriousness of the matter personally, and she was eagerly waiting for the time to solve it.In any case, at least confirm to Lin Luxing whether Du Nasha's words are true or not, and her whereabouts on Christmas Eve... Jiang Luo instinctively felt that if the mystery between them was resolved, their relationship would become clearer .There are often misunderstandings between Lin Luxing and Jiang Luo, some caused by Lin Luxing, and some caused by her. If all the mysteries can be clarified, their relationship will not be so ambiguous, full of suspicion, temptation, torture and mutual harm .They were literally hurting each other, and with an anxious longing.
However, when she walked out of the school gate, all of Jiang Luo's plans were disrupted. To put it more seriously, at that moment, all her thoughts stopped abruptly, and she couldn't even feel her own breathing and heartbeat.As she became more aware of what was happening before her, she had no more questions to ask, no doubts to express.She saw a man who fit all of Du Nasha's description: tall, wearing glasses, and looked like a college student.He carried Lin Luxing's drawing board and her paint box, and stood in the shade of the school gate waiting for her.When she came into his sight, he immediately smiled happily at her, that smile was equivalent to a pet dog wagging its tail at its owner, and he ran towards her in small steps, regardless of the heavy things on his back.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Lin Lu walked up to him and said guiltily.
"It's okay." The man regained his energy and immediately became talkative. "Are you hot? Are you cold? Are you tired? Do you want some water? Where are you going next? Ah yes, take this for me too." He couldn't help but snatch the suitcase from Lin Luxing's hand. "Have you seen the teacher? Did you say goodbye to your roommate? Did you meet your best friend?" He said, and finally noticed Jiang Luo standing behind Lin Luxing. Jiang Luo and him looked at each other awkwardly. The man was polite. With a smile, he turned to Lin Luxing and asked, "Is this your classmate?"
"Well, she's a classmate of mine, and she used to have a good relationship with me." Lin Luxing said flatly: "I want to go to the coffee shop with her for a cup of coffee. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Can you send the things back for me first?" ?” She accentuated her tone slightly, her eyes seemed to be coquettish: “I’ll give you the key to my house.”
Of course, the man was overjoyed, as if he had received the crown of power, he took the key that Lin Luxing took out. There is no doubt that Lin Luxing gave him some kind of power through this.However, Lin Luxing hinted so clearly, and it was still in front of him, which made Jiang Luo furious.Afterwards, during the whole process of getting along with Lin Luxing, she felt embarrassed and humiliated. She had never suffered such humiliation since she was born.She hated herself for not doubting Du Nasha, for not defending Lin Luxing in front of those classmates, Lin Luxing didn't care about these things at all, everything they said was right!Lin Luxing is indeed a person who cannot live without a man. She deliberately conceals her boyfriend, and then silently watches everyone make a fool of herself in front of her. This is all the joy of her life, so if no one falls into her net , she will show a lonely expression, as if living in nothingness.
Jiang Luo didn't remember how she followed Lin Luxing to the coffee shop. She wanted to find that way again in the future, but she found that she had no memory.She didn't remember what coffee she ordered. Lin Luxing kept urging her, so she randomly chose an unfamiliar name in her anger. tears.Lin Luxing slowly stirred the coffee with a shell-shaped silver spoon, and suddenly asked: "You have a very good relationship with Du Nasha recently. Are you getting along well?"
"Very good." Jiang Luo paused and closed his eyes: "She's fine."
"What are you doing on Christmas Eve?" After a while, Lin Luxing asked tentatively.
This is a question that Jiang Luo has always wanted to confirm with Lin Luxing. A few hours ago, she still couldn't ask for it.But now, the encounter at the school gate has explained everything, she has lost interest in the so-called truth, no matter what she asks, it is meaningless, and knowing those details will only hurt her more deeply.She simply didn't want to talk nonsense with Lin Luxing.
"It's nothing." Jiang Luo said, opened his eyes and looked out the window: "At home."
Lin Luxing picked up the white porcelain cup with gold rim and took a small sip: "It's good to be at home." She said mockingly: "I guess you are also at home, you slept well, right?"
Her question was very strange. Jiang Luo thought of the experience of being lost and wandering on the street that night, and thought of Lin Luxing who disappeared that night, most likely it was Lin Luxing who participated in the carnival with a man in a bright downtown area. She couldn't help but sneered. She thought of herself It was ridiculed.
"I didn't sleep." She replied stiffly.
"Really? Didn't you sleep so? No wonder." Unexpectedly, Lin Luxing acted angrier than her, and her gentle facial features were distorted. Shaped napkins, the paper scratched by manicured fingernails.Lin Luxing stirred the coffee again, suddenly lost her temper, and threw the spoon into the coffee cup in front of her. The metal spoon collided with the white porcelain, making a crisp sound, and light brown waves splashed in front of her. The aroma became stronger and stronger.Lin Luxing lowered her head and desperately searched for the things in the bag. She buried her head very low and searched for a long time, then took out a rose gold lipstick and a small mirror, and daubed her lips vigorously in front of the mirror.
...it's an expensive lipstick and it's new.Jiang Luo looked at her numbly, and couldn't help but think wildly, maybe the man bought it for her, a Christmas present, or a New Year's present.Such a small lipstick, worth about three hundred yuan, is the most pleasing to vain women.But it's not a waste to use it for Lin Lu, the color suits her very well, and her lips are so plump and beautiful.When she puts on the lipstick given by the man, she will kiss the man, print the lipstick on the man's shirt, and print it on the title page of his college textbook. Every time he goes to class, sits in the classroom, opens the book, and smells her. smell, see her kiss...
"Why are you staring at me?" Lin Luxing asked coldly after finishing her makeup, sitting up straight.
"It's nothing." Jiang Luo broke free from the suffocating reverie, deliberately pretending to be envious of her cosmetics. "Your lipstick...beautiful. What shade is it?"
"What color number?" Lin Luxing repeated in a murmur, as if she had made some kind of determination to throw all the boats.She raised her finger, put it on her lips, and wiped it vigorously on the expensive lipstick that she had just applied. Before Jiang Luo could be surprised, Lin Luxing pressed it on with her bright red fingertips before she could take precautions. her face.Jiang Luo felt the burning and slight pain when the skin was rubbed, which was mixed with the softness and slipperiness of the lip products. Lin Lu rubbed all the lipstick on her face with her fingertips, forming a vivid mark.
"It's this color." Lin Luxing looked at her and said calmly, then she stood up and hurried out of the cafe.
This meeting ended in discord.Sitting alone in the cafe, Jiang Luo thought that he had suffered an unparalleled humiliation, and almost cried out.She went home dejectedly. That night, she stayed up all night and was tortured by intense pain. Her heart was full of remorse and unrealistic delusions. All kinds of distracting thoughts kept pestering her, making her unable to calm down.Jiang Luo recalled all the things she had known Lin Luxing for half a year, and every time she thought of one, the pain intensified, and she couldn't even lie down properly. Jiang Luo jumped out of bed in her pajamas and wandered around the house like a ghost.The house was pitch-dark, with all the doors open, and the moonlight from the windows fell on the hallway floor and shone on her face.The moon only shines on her. At two o'clock in the night, people who have no pain have already slept peacefully, and the only one left is her, a poor lonely ghost.Jiang Luo opened the door of the house and walked around the university. The university in the middle of the night was as sinister and terrifying as a deep mountain. Jiang Luo walked across the artificial lake and almost jumped into it. The black reflection of the lake startled her.She eventually went back, shivering from the cold, and sat shivering on the floor of her home until dawn.
The next day, she went to school as usual, as if she had lost her soul. It took a long time to react to what others said, or she couldn't answer well at all. In the fourth class in the morning, she finally fell asleep.There were two in-class exams that afternoon, and she did poorly in both of them. Because of this, she was called to the office after school to be reprimanded.Accepting the adult's reprimand is beneficial to her. Jiang Luo almost never relies on the adult, and she doesn't know that she can rely on the adult for many things.She cried in the office, which frightened the teachers. They thought they were training her too hard, but they changed their attitudes, comforted her, and patiently explained the wrong questions to her.Du Nasha had been standing at the door of the teacher's office waiting for her, and couldn't drive her away. Seeing this scene, the teachers couldn't help laughing, and said to Du Nasha, "Comfort your friend!" and let Jiang Luo go. up.
Then one day, two days, one week, one month passed.Jiang Luo gradually calmed down, her wounds were growing and slowly recovering.Du Nasha accompanied her without any complaints, and her relationship with Du Nasha became more and more intimate.Dunasha was an oddball, but also a solid friend.Jiang Luo seeks healing from her, she no longer thinks about Lin Luxing, the busy schoolwork drowns out trivial worries, she swallows the painful feelings and suppresses them in her heart.She had vowed never to go to Lin Lu again, and cutting off all contact with her was the only way to save her.Lin Luxing wanted to be admitted to a good university in Beijing, Jiang Luo also had to fight for a promising future for herself, she couldn't lose to Lin Luxing.
In this way, she persisted until June, the weather became extremely hot, the sunlight shining into the classroom became stronger every day, and the humid summer in the south made it unbearable.On the day of taking graduation photos, Lin Luxing went to take photos with art students and sat in their classrooms for half an hour, bid farewell to them, and chatted with them about their plans for the future. It seemed that in an instant, they grew up like butterflies breaking out of their cocoons Now, there is a clear decision about the future.Jiang Luo looked around the classroom where there were not many people left. Sure enough, Lin Luxing didn't even attend the graduation ceremony. In addition to being disappointed, she suddenly had the illusion that time was still stuck in last year. Lou, came to the class of art students to find Lin Luxing, sometimes in the class, sometimes went outside with Lin Luxing, she would never return to class until the bell rang, everyone in the art class knew her.At that time, she was surrounded by laughter and laughter, and the autumn sun was bright and gentle. It seemed that there was still a long time before graduation. They had just met, and there were still countless possibilities and a long future.Those days are like golden mayflies, flying with transparent wings, fleeting.The scorching sun of summer soon began to torture the world cruelly, continuously evaporating the lives and youth of the girls.
The college entrance examination passed without incident, and when he finished the last subject and put down his pen, Jiang Luo knew that he had books to read.She applied for a very ordinary university, which would not make people envious or ridiculed.She walked out of the high school where she was taking the exam, and took one last look at the world map hanging on the wall of the stairwell.In the future, they will no longer learn so many subjects, and will not be forced to recite general geography. They are no longer children who need to know the world and receive knowledge indoctrination. High school life is over, and all grievances and grievances are over.
At the beginning of July, Jiang Luo dialed Lin Luxing's phone number in the torment of the scorching heat. With a nervous mood, she rummaged through the book that had copied Lin Luxing's phone number in the corner of the room. She deleted Lin Luxing's number in the phone. .This was not long after the scores were announced, and it was also Lin Luxing's birthday. Jiang Luo was still thinking about her, and wanted to know which university she went to and whether she could go to the ideal city. She planned to end it with a farewell. Ridiculous story, she dialed Lin Luxing's number while feeling desperate for her own lowliness.After all, she was still Lin Luxing's friend, Jiang Luo convinced herself that her phone screen was wet with sweat.The phone was picked up, and Lin Luxing said "Hello?"
"Happy 20th birthday. That...that..."
"I failed the exam." Lin Luxing said: "I didn't pass the first choice. Then I gave up."
There was a gap in the dialogue, and all the lines that Jiang Luo had thought up suddenly lost their usefulness. She had already prepared for disappointment and jealousy. In her heart, Lin Luxing would definitely be admitted to a good school. Everyone will be happy.So when she
