Licheng Twilight

Chapter 72

The moment I picked up the pen, I suddenly discovered that fate has been implicated between us for ten years, and it has been tirelessly circling around and around, finally entangled us tightly, and we can't find the end. , I can't find the end, so I can't separate again, this life.

I don't know how many decades there are in my life, but I think, my best ten years, I am very lucky to have her company.

Let me think about it, this girl named Mu Mu first appeared in my life in the early summer of [-].

I remember that summer, the weather was very good and the sun was very bright, but the air was very dull and depressing, which made each of us feel very uncomfortable, especially Chu Yi.I was playing the piano when Aunt Su brought her in. For me, music is very important in my life. From the corner of my eye, I saw her figure, her movements, and the way she looked at me.

Defense, that was the first word that popped into my mind at that time.

She is very thin, much thinner than girls of the same age. This kind of contrast makes her eyes particularly large, black and white eyes, but the inside is dull.

After Aunt Su left, she became more and more embarrassed. I didn't intend to embarrass her, but there was still a faint pleasure of revenge in my heart.

This girl is very quiet, most of the time she stays in her own room, she hardly speaks, and her footsteps are so soft that you can barely hear them, sometimes I even wonder if her breathing is also as light as a feather generally.But that's fine, I hate being noisy, she's very disciplined, never crosses the line, and never causes trouble, which makes me think she's not annoying, but not annoying enough to be a reason to like her.

That kid Chu Yi went crazy that night, Ah Chen called me over at three o'clock in the morning, I ran over and beat him up, I knew he was going to die in pain, but I beat him anyway.

I don't know what it means to lose a father to a teenager, because I have no parents since I was a child, but I think that feeling must be unforgettable, because just as a bystander, I already feel that I can't live in this life. forget.

I don't resent Mu Mu, because I know it's not her fault, but I also know that other people are not wrong, but there is one thing, we are relatives, and she is just an outsider, so anyone will choose to sacrifice that outsider .

I am no exception.

I thought that the days would go on like this without any waves, but it turns out that fate will always deviate from your speculation, and she will give you many surprises, but more of them are frights.

I am a person who is very picky about food, but she just cooks well.

This is beyond my expectation. I don't know whether to define it as surprise or fright. It seems to belong to fright, and it seems to belong to surprise, but more often I don't think it belongs to either.

The girls around me, the girls I can get in touch with, at her age, will only stay with their parents and act like a baby, or go shopping with friends all day long to buy clothes, and some even have microwave ovens and rice cookers. I can't tell the difference, and her proficiency is almost comparable to that of the aunt who cooks at home.

To be honest, I was very surprised, but there are too many surprising things in this world, I am not a person who can be interested in a person just because of surprise, I am lazy, and I am too lazy to care about other things.

Besides, as far as I am concerned, the less involved she is, the better.

Because Chu Yi is my brother, a very important brother.

At Uncle Ding's funeral, she didn't come, and no one remembered that he still had such a daughter, but I know that she went to the cemetery that night, and for a whole night, I don't know what she did there, she thought about it What, when she came back in the morning, her face was very pale and her body was on the verge of falling. I kept looking at her back, and I was a little worried that she would faint on the ground in the next second, but she didn't. She leaned on the wall Back to his room.

She slept all day, and when she woke up, it was almost night.Grandpa is back, I am very happy, sitting with him in the living room downstairs chatting all over the world, when I looked up, I saw her standing on the stairs with long hair in a daze, the bewildered expression in her big eyes replaced I have been on guard since, this look is so stupid, I want to laugh a little bit, but I know I can't laugh, so I chose to turn my head to the other side.

Grandpa likes her very much, and even told her a lot about grandma and me. I am not disgusted with this, and even feel a little relieved, because finally there is someone who can justly treat her well.

I have a sister named Ye Tianqing, she is like a mother to me, even though she is only three years older than me, what she has done for me has far exceeded the responsibility of a sister, so I respect her , I love her, but there is one thing, she always likes to pull my ears, which has caused me a psychological shadow until now.

The first time Mu Mu entered my room was brought in by my sister, I acquiesced, but even if I objected, that crazy girl Ye Tianqing would definitely ignore it, so I didn't say anything.

The layout of my room is very simple, nothing special, the only thing worth mentioning should be the CDs on the two bookshelves. This is my collection for more than ten years. I have collected many CDs of singers from all over the world. All are limited edition.

The Beatles' album "Help" was echoing in the room, but I was a little distracted.I saw the surprise in her eyes, and the faint look in her eyes. At that time, I suddenly wanted to go over and tell her, I like Irish singers the most, have you heard Enya's songs?I really like her.

But I didn't, I just stood there, absent-mindedly pretending to enjoy the CD.

Li'er and Ah Chen came, I knew what they wanted to do, it was not difficult to guess, but by some coincidence, I actually said something, don't overdo it.

Don't overdo it, this should be the first sentence I said for her.

It took her less than 10 minutes to settle Li'er, the little pepper. When Li'er dragged Ah Chen away in a hurry, I glanced at the study room, and then laughed.

Aunt Su arranged for her to enter No. [-] Middle School, which was in the same grade as me, and was still in the same class. What's more, she was sitting in the back seat of me.I was sitting in the seat, taking advantage of the gap of the girl in the front row to look in the mirror, I saw that she was sitting upright in the mirror, her expression was very serious, and she was a completely obedient student.

The homeroom teacher is a very interesting young man. From elementary school to high school, he still cannot avoid the self-introduction that must be done every year.When she walked up to the podium, she bumped into the desk, dropped her book on the floor, and was a little embarrassed. I heard some girls talking about her, and she heard it too. Ten pairs of eyes staring straight at her, she was very nervous and embarrassed, and in the end she couldn't even make a sound. I half leaned against the desk with a calm expression, but my right hand was very vigorously scratching on the draft paper. With each stroke, I just finished writing the word "stupid" when she walked down the stage with her head down and passed by me.

What a fool, I flicked my pen, feeling suddenly suffocated.

Her temper is so good that it breaks people. When people ask her to copy notes, she will help to copy notes. If they ask her to do hygiene, she will help with hygiene. Let alone refuse, she is not even impatient. Every time it is five o'clock After school, but she always doesn't come home until seven o'clock, I know she is doing this and that for others at school, sometimes I really want to say, do you think you are the Virgin Mary?

But I have no position to say so.

On Chu Yi’s birthday, several of us prepared a birthday party for him, with bonfire, champagne, cake, and fireworks. There were many people, and it was very lively. Chu Yi laughed that day. This was his first time in nearly four months. Laughing, I suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in my heart, then Ah Chen pulled me over, and the three of us hugged each other's shoulders.

Later, I thought of her inexplicably, the girl named Mu Mu, her personal information, her birthday is also written on December 12th, a day that is easy to remember, at least I only read it once and remembered it. I have never forgotten it in my life.

She hesitated for a long time when filling in the column for parents, and in the end I didn't know how she wrote it, but the image of her holding a pen and standing still in mid-air was imprinted in my mind, and I couldn't get rid of it.

I said happy birthday to the sky, Ah Chen called me crazy, I scolded him back, I never want to lose money on this point, and often care about interest, Ah Chen said that I am narrow-minded and hateful, I admit it.

Santa Claus, happy birthday, Jesus, happy birthday, Chu Yi, happy birthday, and Mu Mu, happy birthday.

She is very good at studying, and she was second in the mock test, only lower than Chu Yi. You must know that Chu Yi has always been recognized by all of us as the god of the test, and has never been second. I have never been enthusiastic about studying, and my grades Ordinary is a bit poor, but I don't care, my life is destined to be more difficult than others from the very beginning.

Or to put it another way, I have already lost at the starting line, and it is even a question of whether I can continue to run tomorrow. Yes, I have a heart attack.

My time is limited, so I have to spend it on things that I want to do, like piano, like composing.

She hadn't come home at nearly eight o'clock that night. I wandered outside the house for a while, and finally couldn't help but ran to the school. There were no classrooms, no playground, and then the library. The switch seemed to trip, and the whole building was It was dark, and when I was about to leave, I heard a slight noise from the corridor.

My sixth sense told me it was her.

Then I went up, next to the library was a main road of the school, there were scattered street lamps on it, and there were faint lights shining in through the glass, she shrank in the corner, her body was trembling slightly, tears were big The big one hit the floor but bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making a sound. My feet walked over uncontrollably. When she heard the footsteps, she raised her head with tears in her eyes. Then, she stretched out her hand and grabbed it. I touched the corner of my clothes, I thought she would throw herself into my arms, but she didn't, even in the weakest and most helpless moment, she still maintained her rationality, abided by the most basic etiquette, and refused to overstep the rules Lei Chi took a step.

Just standing there, I don't know how long it took, I heard my own voice saying, if you finish crying, come home with me.

I am not a person who will be easily defeated by girls' tears. Many girls have cried in front of me, but for the first time, I want to stop her tears with my own hands.

It's already deep winter, but the clothes she's wearing are still very thin. Aunt Su is so busy with the affairs of the Ding Group these days that she can't concentrate on taking care of her. Although it's a bit strange, I still take her with her Went to the pedestrian street.

I think I am still a self-righteous person after all, and I stabbed her heart inadvertently, but I am glad that I realized it. Although I was a little nervous, I tried my best to pretend not to care and changed to an ordinary clothing store. Also took the invoice.

Her expression relaxed a lot, and I was a little relieved, but my heart felt a little desolate. She is too sensitive, which is not a good sign.

The first snow that year came late, and I came to Licheng for an appointment near the end of the term. I am afraid of the cold, so I don’t like winter, but I like snow. This may sound contradictory, but it is true.

Gradually, I became familiar with her, and gradually, she would occasionally take the initiative to talk to me a few words.I like to call her "Mu Mu", not "Mu Mu" but "Mu Mu", her voice is a little drawn out, it sounds like a nickname, she walks step by step in the snow with her head down slightly, walking After walking a long way, I watched her go further and further away from behind, and her figure gradually became blurred.

I suddenly yelled, "Mumu—" She turned her head in response, with a slight smile on her cold reddish face, although I couldn't see clearly, I was sure she smiled, and I slightly lifted my feet Stepping on her footprints, maintaining her balance with difficulty, she approached her in a funny manner. She stood still and looked at me, the smile on her face quickly widened.

It was snowing heavily, but there was already a thick layer of snow in the morning. In the snow, two girls were laughing and having a snowball fight. They even pulled her into the middle of the fight as a shield, and she was dragged away. The one who was torn away was attacked again, and was smashed several times soon. He looked a little embarrassed, and the coat was covered with scattered fine snowflakes.I was a little annoyed, so I strode over with a cold face and said casually, "Go back and copy the notes for me", and then I took her away as soon as I stretched out my hand. It takes less than [-]% of the effort to lift her into the air.

She followed behind me obediently, and brushed the snowflakes off her clothes with her hand, showing no sign of displeasure.

I think it's time for me to have a serious talk with her about self-preservation.You said that you are such an old man, how can you always be bullied and just beg for mercy.

I thought so and did it.

After I deeply analyzed the problem, she pointed out the fact that I was also bullying her as soon as she opened her mouth. I was at a loss for words for a long time, and finally found a reason that was not a reason to exclude me from others. She pursed slightly He pursed his mouth and bowed his head, without any rebuttal, he accepted it.

She has never liked to compete with others, and this result was as early as I expected.

At that time, I understood that this girl seemed to know nothing, but in fact she knew everything in her heart, but she didn't want to care about it, and she didn't want to fight for it, because she knew too well that if she didn't get it, she would never lose it. .

I feel a little astringent in my heart, an indescribable taste.
