The flowers are still sweet in Pinellia

Chapter 30

Staring at the name on the flashing phone screen, Mu Yan sighed softly.

Hang up, shut down, the whole set of actions is simple and neat.

After a while, the landline in the room rang.

He hesitated to pick it up, "Hi, hello."

"Mu Yan, I'm right downstairs from you."

Holding the microphone, she gave a soft 'huh'.

"Come down for a while." Lin Xia's voice was not as calm as before, and his breath was very irritable, "Hurry up."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Yan put on a coat, she knew very well that he came to find her.

But, how should she tell him?

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin Xia standing at the door with an anxious expression on her face.Her hair was disheveled, completely lacking in her usual chicness.

Staring closely at the girl in front of her, Lin Xia's tone was filled with unconcealable anger, "I called you all day today, why didn't you answer?"

"Did you call?" Mu Yan put on a puzzled expression, "I don't know, maybe the battery is out."

Lin Xia was very dissatisfied with her answer, he stared into her eyes without blinking, "Where are you all day today?"

Mu Yan couldn't help frowning at his questioning tone, she looked at him, "Why are you asking me this?"

Lin Xia didn't answer her question, but continued to ask, "Where is it?"

Mu Yan smiled lightly, "You're at home, what's the matter?"

"Really?" Lin Xia took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down the anger in her heart, "But why did someone see you and Jiang Chenning together?"

With a chuckle, a dazzling smile suddenly bloomed on Li Yan, "Who saw it?"

Lin Xia was slightly stunned, but then he asked excitedly, "Is what they said true, Mu Yan, tell me, is it true?"

Mu Yan lowered her eyes and didn't answer.

Her acquiescence meant that the matter was indeed true.

A phone call just now completely disturbed Lin Xia's mind. Zhang Yuepeng said that when he went out to buy books with his classmates today, he happened to see Jiang Chenning and Mu Yan together. The two went to the library together, then had lunch together, and finally went to opened a sweet shop.Feeling puzzled, he told his classmate and quietly followed the two of them. The two were as close as a couple. In the end, Jiang Chenning sent Mu Yan back home.

Lin Xia couldn't believe her ears, when she heard these words, she hung up the phone hastily and rushed to Mu Yan's house.

But now, her silence does mean that it is true.

Staring closely at her eyes, Lin Xia shouted loudly, "You are my girlfriend, how can you go out with other boys?"

"No one stipulates that if you become your girlfriend, you can't have dinner with other boys." There was a hint of sarcasm in her expression, her beautiful eyes half closed, "Lin Xia, I've had enough of you for a long time. It's arbitrary, why do you care about me so much."

Being turned against the general, Lin Xia was stunned suddenly, he just stared at her blankly, without saying a word.

"Do you have anything else to do? I'm going back." After taking a last look at him, Mu Yan turned and left.

All of a sudden, he held her tightly, and said in an impatient tone, "Don't go, tell me clearly."

"Are you bored and want to quarrel?" She shook his hand abruptly, and she looked at him, "Since you're here, I'll take this opportunity to clarify with you."

"Lin Xia, let's break up." Mu Yan spit out this sentence word by word.

Opening his eyes wide, he repeated without any tone, "You, what are you saying, break up?"

"Yes, break up." Mu Yan nodded, with a firm tone in her tone.

The originally tense atmosphere fell into a deathly silence because of this sentence.

Lin Xia lowered her head and asked softly after a while, "Why?"

Turning her face away, she said in a muffled voice, "I'm in love with someone else."

One sentence made his heart freeze suddenly, like the cold winter of March and September completely frozen him up.

"Who is it?" A hoarse voice rang in his ears, and Lin Xia raised his eyes dumbly.

With her eyebrows slightly drawn together, she whispered softly, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Who is it, answer me." The hoarse voice revealed a firmness that could not be refused.

Mu Yan didn't answer, but Lin Xia seemed to wake up suddenly, "Is he right, Jiang Chenning is right. I knew he had ulterior motives for you."

He grabbed Mu Yan's arm with a very excited expression, "You like him, how could you like him."

Vigorously breaking free from his shackles, she pushed him away with serious eyes, "Don't use the word 'ulterior motives' to describe him. Also, why can't I like him, I have liked him from the very beginning People only like him. I have had this feeling for him since junior high school. But he came here to go to school. I transferred here to meet him. Although he also likes me, he always treats me Lukewarm, I can't help it, I'm only with you to stimulate him."

"Are you satisfied with this reason?"

Mu Yan took a deep breath, turned her face away, and stopped looking at him.

After a while, his words sounded in her ears again, but the fragmented tone made her unable to bear to listen.

"You said, you have always loved Jiang Chenning, and you were with me just to stimulate him. So, am I just a catalyst to heat up your relationship?"

Nodding slowly, she remained silent.

"How could you do this?" There was ruthlessness in his scarlet eyes, he roared loudly, "I was fooled by you for a whole year like an idiot, do you know?" The words she said about loving him, Was it all a lie?Was everything about them a lie?
How could she, how could she...

Turning her face away, she just said, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry?" There was a hint of bitterness on the corner of her lips, which she would never understand, "You really went too far."

Not daring to look at the expression on his face at the moment, she just said softly, "I'm sorry."

Lin Xia left, his back was very decisive.

Without a trace of nostalgia, he left like a gust of wind.

Gazing at the broken back of his leaving, tears welled up in her eyes instantly.Such an ending, the ending they expected, whether it was good or bad, has nothing to do with her from now on.

Whether it was the sweetness or pain in the past, it has nothing to do with her from now on.

She knew that she had lost him forever, together with the heart that was still in love.

The necklace that Lin Xia gave her, Mu Yan locked her deeply.Perhaps, this is the best proof that the two have been together.

The shell he gave her was still shining brightly, but she lost the light that belonged to her forever.

The boy she loved deeply can only be kept in memory from now on.

"You are the first and the last."

"I will be by your side, I hope you will show a happy smile."

"I love you and we will always be together."

He couldn't see her tears, nor would he understand them.

She couldn't touch his wounds, and she couldn't heal them either.

This ending may be the most perfect.

After learning the news of their separation, Zhang Yuepeng scolded her severely, and Liu Xueying ignored her again.

The only two friends she could talk to in class five, her friendship with them came to an end with the end of this relationship.

……

Class Five fell into chaos.

Lin Xia, a good student, skipped classes for two consecutive weeks, which even alarmed the dean.Those who are absent from class for more than two weeks without reason will be given the sanction of starting school.

However, due to Lin Xia's father and his own academic performance, the school has been suppressing this matter and has not dealt with it.

Looking at the empty desk in the distance, Mu Yan felt an inexplicable feeling... lingering in her heart, which made her heart ache.

she hurt him...

She thought that life could continue like this, but Zhang Yuepeng's phone call completely disturbed her mind.

Looking at the familiar number, although she hesitated, she finally picked it up.

"Mu Yan, go and persuade Lin Xia to come back." Zhang Yuepeng's voice was full of helplessness.His good friend liked this girl so much, but she played with his feelings.

"Why?" Resisting all kinds of sourness in her heart, Mu Yan pretended to ask calmly, "Why should I go?" Does she still have such qualifications now?

Zhang Yuepeng paused, "We persuaded him not to listen, but if you go, he will definitely listen."

"Really?" Why would he listen to her?
"Yes." Zhang Yuepeng nodded, if it was her, he would definitely listen.

"He doesn't want to see me, what's the use of me going." Mu Yan took a deep breath, holding back the bitterness in her heart.

"He will definitely listen to you. Even if you are no longer in that relationship, as a classmate, do you have the heart to see a good student become like that?"

Holding the microphone, Mu Yan only said the word 'good'.

The cold wind outside the window was biting, but no matter how cold it was, it was better than the temperature in her heart.

Wiping away the tears that still remained on her cheeks, she put on a scarf and let her long hair spread out.Picking up the key, she walked out the door.

He wasn't in class, she'd always known.

He's been like this a lot since she broke up with him.Playing truant from school and staying out at night.The good students became like this, the teachers were very sad and very angry.

If Lin Xia didn't show up, the teachers had no choice, and the number of Mu Yan's visits to the office was changed from every day to every half a day.

Jiang Chenning told her that Lin Xia had gone to him.

Originally thought they were going to fight, but Lin Xia just held onto Jiang Chenning's collar tightly, his eyes were very angry.

In addition to anger, there is also a trace of unspeakable sadness.

She knew that it was the injury she caused him.

……

Zhang Yuepeng told her that he was in a bar on Zhengning Road.Following the route he told her, Mu Yan soon arrived at the bar.

She has never been to such a place.As soon as she entered, the loud and chaotic music made her frown.On the dance floor of the karaoke hall, chaotic boys and girls are dancing close to each other.

Just when she was about to continue walking forward, she was suddenly grabbed by someone.

She turned around, and a drunk man was looking at her fascinatedly, speaking something inarticulate.

"Go away." Mu Yan pushed him away without thinking.

The man pulled her back violently, "You are so beautiful, how much is it for one night?"

"Get out." Mu Yan pushed the man again, "Fuck you, don't touch me."

The quarrel between the two attracted others to watch, but it was a person next to her who helped her out.The boy pushed the man to the ground and pulled Mu Yan out of the chaotic dance floor.

"Thank you." Mu Yan lowered her eyes slightly, and thanked the boy who helped her just now.

The boy smiled gently and asked softly, "Is this your first time here?"

Mu Yan was slightly taken aback, then nodded.She looked up at him, "Which direction is the billiard hall, can you take me there?"

The boy nodded and led her to the right, "This is the billiard hall."

"Thank you."

The boy said 'you're welcome', then left with a smile.

Mu Yan took a deep breath, and suddenly pushed open the door.It's just that as soon as the door was opened, a corrupt smell mixed with tobacco and alcohol rushed towards him.

She couldn't help frowning, and then quickly searched for a familiar figure.

Suddenly, with just one glance, she saw the person she was thinking of.After a pause, she started to walk forward.

"Student, are you here to play ball too?" The waiter saw such a beautiful girl coming in, so he naturally walked up to talk enthusiastically.

"No, I'm here to find someone." Mu Yan interrupted him with a faint smile, and walked straight to Lin Xia's table.

One step, two steps... Exactly ten steps, she stopped beside him.

Lin Xia just glanced up at her, then lowered her head again to concentrate on playing.

She stared at his hand swinging the club without blinking, until the end of the round, Mu Yan smiled slightly, "You played well..."

Lin Xia didn't look at her, but asked in a cold voice, "Are you also here to persuade me? If so, please walk slowly. If not, please leave."

Resisting the sourness in her heart, she asked calmly, "Why?"

"Because I don't want to see you."

The yellow ball fell firmly into the bag.

"Persuading you?" Mu Yan smiled softly, "I don't have the time to persuade you, I just want to see how the good students degenerate in the eyes of the teachers."

"Degenerate?" Lin Xia sneered, and finally raised his eyes to glance at her, but at the moment his eyes were as cold as ice, and his cold tone made people feel cold, "What does that have to do with you?"

Mu Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, her smile was clear and pure, "It doesn't matter, so I just want to see a joke."

"Shut up, leave quickly, I don't want to see you." Lin Xia dropped this sentence as if ordering.

"It's my freedom to shut up or not, and it's my freedom not to leave. I just hope you don't cause trouble for others."

"Trouble?" repeated coldly, and the coffee ball fell steadily into the middle bag.

"Yeah, the teachers couldn't find you, so they came to me naturally. Do you know that I am very wronged, how can I study like this, how can I go to the same school as him. Of course, you don't come home at night, play truant and cut classes with me. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if the teacher asks me, the most important thing is that I don't want him to misunderstand..."

"He, misunderstood?" Lin Xia spit out these words slowly, with an interesting expression.

"If this continues, Jiang Chenning will not be able to study with peace of mind." She frowned deliberately, but this expression became a kind of irony in his eyes, a great kind of irony.

"What does that have to do with me?" Lin Xia smiled lightly, "Amo, one more game..."

I don't know how long it took, Lin Xia played one game after another, until a boy next to him came over and asked him if he wanted to go out, then Mu Yan realized that she had been standing here for a long time.

"Okay, let's go out." Lin Xia smiled at the boy, and just as he was about to turn and leave, Mu Yan grabbed his clothes suddenly.

Lin Xia paused, and Mu Yan also paused.She didn't know why she did this, but her subconscious mind told her to do it.

She took a deep breath, and after a while, she said softly, "Lin Xia, go back..."

Lin Xia didn't answer, and the noisy environment around her suddenly fell silent.

"Don't let the teacher and your father worry, okay?"

Lin Xia didn't break free, but asked calmly, "What about you, are you worried about me?"

"Go back, let me beg you, please." Resisting the soreness in her heart, she pleaded softly, "Okay."

Lin Xia didn't look back, but through the heavy fabric, she could still feel his body tremble.

"Lin Xia..."

"Okay, if you answer my question, I'll go back."

Suddenly, Lin Xia turned around and gave her a dazzling smile.

She was slightly taken aback, staring quietly into his dark eyes.At this moment, it seems that they are the only ones left in the world.

He was watching her, and she was watching him.

His eyes were clear and pure, just as deep and distant as when she first saw him.

Suddenly, the thin lips parted slightly, "I just want to ask you, have you ever loved me?"

"..."

"answer me."

The sound was like a mosquito, and the hand hung down feebly.

"……No……"

Suddenly, the eyes fell into an endless darkness.

……

Memories are sweet, but also painful.

The sweet thing is that when facing this dark and ugly reality, no matter how painful and sad, I will always be thankful that there is still a trace of softness in my heart, which is enough to comfort the injured soul.

And the painful thing is, knowing that the person or thing it deposits is impossible to exist or realize, so I can only extract it from my mind, and taste it alone in the dead of night.

If you can't help each other, it's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes.
