Chapter 260 I... like this person
Let's turn the time back to an hour and a half ago——

Time: 22:[-] sharp.

Location: The top floor of the school's clock tower, the lobby of the student union's office.

"The agreed time is nine o'clock at night, but it's already ten o'clock... Anyway, why hasn't he shown up yet?!" Gui Daiju's voice was trembling, and her tone was full of disbelief.

She squeezed her slender fingers tightly, and squeezed the mechanical alarm clock in her hands to make a "cracking" sound.

"Didn't he learn in school that he should act 10 minutes earlier? It's common sense to arrive at [-]:[-] after making an appointment at [-]:[-]!"

Gui Daiju grabbed the alarm clock in her hand and shook it back and forth with a terrifying force that surpassed common sense. She panted violently and shouted angrily.

"Hey! Are you listening!!"

Alarm clock:"……"

So what's the use of you telling me this...

——The alarm clock that is on the verge of death because of someone's lateness, if it is in the animation, it will probably have a very humane expression of trembling at this time.

"Damn—! If you want to come, hurry up! Idiot——!"

At this time, the girl's anger had reached its peak.

……

……

However, after that, another hour has passed without knowing it.

There was silence in the hall, only the quiet and cold moonlight pouring down from the balcony.Osmanthus Daisy leaned sideways on the pillow of the sofa and remained silent, the anger in her eyes had completely disappeared.

"What... I hate it, is it true that he really doesn't plan to come...?"

With a slight effort in her arms, she hugged the pillow into her arms and hugged her tightly. She half-closed her eyes, with a complicated look on her face: "Oh—this is too bad, I can't take the initiative to send him a message, otherwise I will lose... ...Speaking of which, he actually hates me if he said something like that but didn't come to see me..."

"...Ugh..."

The girl suddenly made a cute voice in distress. She curled her long pink hair with her fingers while thinking about how to refute this unfavorable thought.

But in the end, it was a sad discovery that he couldn't find any arguments to stand on at all.

"I haven't done anything that he likes, nor have I shown the cute face of a girl in front of him. He hates me...it's normal..."

Thinking about all the things that happened since they met each other, Gui Daiju couldn't help but lie weakly on the pillow, and her long, smooth and lustrous hair fell on the sofa like satin.

In the end, she sighed silently, "He must... have already forgotten... this matter..."

Time passed slowly, the night was quiet, everything was silent, the moonlight was like water, and no one spoke.It was quiet in her ears, as if she could only hear her own breathing and heartbeat, Gui Daiju slowly felt a wave of tiredness, and her eyelids began to become heavy.

The darkness that had been covering her suddenly disappeared, and in a trance, her consciousness seemed to be brought to a certain place——

……

I don't know how long it has been, and I don't know where it is.

Familiar and unfamiliar furniture appeared all around, and there was only darkness in the house, and Gui Daiju felt that this darkness made her almost suffocate, and she gradually felt out of breath.

At the same time, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a single ponytail hairstyle was standing in front of Osmanthus daisy with her fists tightly clenched. Already in tears.

And the angle of view is a bit weird, compared to the thirteen or fourteen year old single ponytail girl in front of me, I seem to be younger.

"Sister..." Daisy Gui suddenly found that "herself" opened her mouth to speak. It was a childish voice, and her heart was full of panic, "—where are Mom and Dad?"

"..."

It was quiet, there was no answer, not even a sound, it was so quiet that it was scary.

Osmanthus Daisy suddenly lost her mind, she couldn't control herself at all.I could only watch helplessly as I ran past my sister and ran hard towards the door, as if I could find my parents just like this.

But at this moment, the floor under her feet seemed to have suddenly turned into a muddy swamp, and she wanted to run forward, but she couldn't exert any strength.

The more anxious you are, the farther the door ahead is from you.

She was so anxious that she was about to shed tears, but it was also at this time——

Something seemed to come from far away in the sky, but it echoed in this small space.Although she couldn't hear what the voice was saying, Gui Daiju suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind, and she stopped subconsciously.

then.

The surrounding scenes suddenly became blurred, as if shrouded in a shadow, and slowly the whole world began to fade.

……

The girl opened her eyes again, and in front of her was the familiar lobby of the White Emperor Academy Student Union Office, and a familiar figure bent over the sofa and looked down at her.

Gui Daiju sat up in a daze, her breathing was slightly disordered, her heart was still beating violently, and her palms were almost wet with sweat.

"Ah, Mu Xiu-jun...it's you!"

Although her emotions were in a mess, she subconsciously greeted the person in front of her.

Because this dream is not the first time, although it cannot be said that such a dream is often, but the frequency is relatively high, so Daisy Osmanthus is used to it, but the difference is that this time the dream is slightly different .

"Eh? Oh? I fell asleep without realizing it... What time is it...?"

Gui Daisy was fully awake, she quickly recalled the previous events, and reached out to take the mechanical alarm clock next to her.Mu Xiu had no time to stop him, he could only search his brain hard, thinking about what to say later.

"—11:30!"

The girl's voice and tone suddenly turned cold. After seeing clearly where the hour and minute hands on the alarm clock were pointing, she suddenly narrowed her eyes for some reason.At this moment, someone seemed to have heard something snapping in the air.

But that kind of look that seemed to see through people was really scary, so Mu Xiu didn't have time to think about it, so he smiled dryly and slightly looked away, just about to explain.

But the girl's expression was like that of a ghost, and she had already reached out and grabbed the wooden knife leaning on the side of the sofa.

next moment--

A piercing cold light split the world in his eyes completely in an instant.

……

……

10 minutes later.

The time was exactly eleven forty at night.

"Come on, the black tea is ready, this time I made it myself—"

Pouring the steaming hot tea soup into the snow-white porcelain cup, Mu Xiu put down the teapot, and then gently pushed the teacup in front of Daisy Gui.Immediately afterwards, he straightened up, turned around and walked towards the direction of the cabinet, and asked casually:
"By the way, student Daisy, are you hungry? There are still some ingredients here, let me make something to eat! Just tell me what you want to eat, and I guarantee that it will satisfy you."

"..."

Gui Daiju lowered her head, not only her whole body was already stiff, but she was even trembling slightly.But she bit her lower lip tightly, and there were tears in her eyes.It seemed that he was trying hard not to let himself cry, and it seemed that he had just cried.

But looking at the messy traces around, as if after a fierce battle, you know that the latter is actually the most likely - of course it's not that Mu Xiu beat her to tears, but that she burst into anger to the end , the self-injury and self-pity in my heart suddenly rose.

As a result, I couldn't restrain my emotions, so I really shed tears.

But looking back now, Gui Daiju felt like she wanted to die.

After she managed to cool down the feverish cheeks a little bit, after she regained her senses, the more she recalled the previous things, the more unacceptable she felt!What the hell was he talking about!What was I thinking at that time!
Why do you lose your composure? !Doing that kind of thing, leaning on him and crying... It's really out of control!

Daisy Gui didn't know that the authentic wooden knife, as a treasure of the Saronomiya family, possesses not only one characteristic.Although the knife-wielder can maximize his or her potential, his emotions are also particularly prone to high pitched emotions. He is bolder when he is forthright, and sadder when he is sad.

Usually, if you are prepared, you can easily control it, but if you don't know it, it is more likely to lead to emotional loss——

Otherwise, this thing is simply a magic weapon, and Mu Xiu certainly wouldn't mind exchanging it for a transition to the fourth-order primary state.But in fact, he only borrowed it to break through the fourth-level primary, and he hasn't used this knife since then.

Holding the moderately warm teacup in both hands, the girl's knuckles turned slightly white due to excessive force. Such a situation makes people worry that she will burst the cup just like that.

However, the focus of Gui Daiju's eyes was not on the teacup at all, and because of this, she was distracted and didn't notice the strangeness in Mu Xiu's two paragraphs.

"Although I felt a little frightened, I didn't expect that... Daiju has such a girlish side."

Mu Xiula opened the cabinet door and glanced at it casually, then said casually, wanting to open up the topic as soon as possible to ease the embarrassing atmosphere at the moment.But he didn't realize that his words made Gui Daisy even more embarrassed.

The pink-haired girl trembled all over, and her face, which was about to fade away, quickly turned red again. She closed her eyes and lowered her head in pain, moaning, "Why don't you... kill me..."

"Uh, sorry?" Mu Xiu blinked.

"..."

"..."

That does not work!Gui Daiju suddenly realized that if she continued like this, she would lose miserably, even though she didn't know what she lost!But she just couldn't allow herself to continue losing!
No matter what, she must find a way to win!Although she still doesn't know what to win!
The girl raised her head again, stared at Mu Xiu with inexplicable complicated eyes, and then suddenly became angry again: "What about the gift?! Where is my gift! Didn't you say that you would give me a very happy gift at my house that day?" What a great gift?!"

But it looks more like he became angry from embarrassment, or he was eager to find a breakthrough and chose the most obvious problem to attack.

"Uh, I said it..." Mu Xiu coughed lightly, stood up and walked over.

"Then did you bring it with you?" The pink-haired girl looked her up and down unkindly, "Could it be that after being late for so long, you even forgot to bring the gift? And because of being late, even the gift Lost them all?"

"That's not true, but I can indeed explain this one. In fact, what happened tonight is like this..." Mu Xiu sighed, and simply wanted to tell the whole story from the beginning to the end——

But the other party obviously didn't want to hear those things.

"No, I... just want to ask you a question now."

Gui Daiju stood up, and she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind with great difficulty, her expression suddenly became very calm.

After walking back and forth in front of Mu Xiu a few times, she finally stood still, and she suddenly asked, "Well, student Mu Xiu... May I ask if you have any special views on your family?"

"Huh?" The boy frowned, not understanding why he suddenly jumped to this topic, but seeing the expression on Gui Daiju's face and serious eyes, he wisely didn't speak.

Without waiting for Mu Xiu to answer, the girl continued as if talking to herself.

"My current parents are actually not...my biological parents—my biological parents, on the day before my sixth birthday, pushed 8000 million debts to me and my sister, and then disappeared..."

"In order to solve the debt, my sister developed a kind of viciousness like a bully, but she was very kind to me... Later, the Gui family adopted us. My father is also the current adoptive father. In fact, he was my sister's primary school teacher. , although he is no longer a teacher, he still cares about my sister..."

She didn't know why she wanted to bring this up, but she just wanted to tell it, so she slowly told all about the past that belonged to the two sisters of the Gui family.

"..."

"..."

There was an unspeakable silence. In the empty hall, the terrible silence made people's skin tingle.

The melodious voice in the past has been dominated by some inexplicable emotion at this moment, with a little vibrato.In the moonlight reflected from the balcony, Osmanthus Daisy stared directly at the boy in front of her, as if she wanted to get an answer from him——

"Student Mu Xiu, do you think they have a reason for doing this?"

"What...reason?" Mu Xiu didn't know his expression anymore.

He suddenly had a feeling that there was something that must be told to the girl in front of him, it must be said!Do your best!
Otherwise, it will all be over.

"It's just that there's no way to take us along... There's really no way, I made such a choice out of desperation!" Gui Daiju gritted her teeth as if she wanted to convince herself of such a statement.

"That...classmate Daisy, to your current parents..." Mu Xiu hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously.

"I like them very much! I like them very much!" The pink-haired girl immediately said anxiously, then she lowered her eyes slightly, and said again in a rare soft voice: "Although I like them very much, but... I also like my biological one very much. Mother……"

"..."

"..."

"Well, please come over here with me!" Mu Xiu also seemed to have made up his mind, grabbed the girl's hand, and walked outside.

"Eh? Wait, wait, I can't go to the terrace—" Gui Daiju was startled, and struggled subconsciously. "No, no! You know that I have a fear of heights..."

"Don't worry, I will hold you firmly, just come with me." Mu Xiu smiled and persuaded her softly, but did not pull her forcefully. "Or you can close your eyes, just follow me."

"..."

Osmanthus daisy bit her lip hard, the stiffness of her body eased slightly, she closed her eyes but no longer resisted, but let the young man beside her pull her forward step by step.After a few seconds, she felt the muscles in her legs lose feeling.

Because of the estimation of the distance, now she feels that she should have reached less than two or three meters in front of the guardrail of the terrace, but the people around her are still leading her forward step by step.I don't know if it's an illusion, but she felt that the ground under her feet suddenly became a little strange——

It made her feel as if she was going up an upward slope.

Slowly, time seemed to stretch infinitely.Gui Daiju felt that she just kept walking like this, she only knew how to hold the palms of the people around her tightly, refusing to relax, and there was only one thought in her mind: Is the area of ​​the terrace so huge?

I don't know how long it took, and finally a voice came from my ear: "Okay, open your eyes and have a look."

...has it finally arrived?
When Gui Daiju heard this, her body became stiff again for an instant, but she immediately felt her palm being clenched tightly, and the other shoulder was also firmly grasped, which brought her a sense of security.

Then, the girl slowly opened her eyes——

For a moment, she felt as if the only sounds in the whole world were her own and his heartbeat...

At a height of a thousand meters above the ground, Mu Xiu and the pink-haired girl beside him stood on the distorted magnetic field that created an anti-gravity environment that was invisible to the naked eye.

Seeing the endless stream of traffic beneath her feet and the night scene of the city lit up with thousands of lights, Gui Daiju felt extremely shocked.

The lights in the distance outlined the outline of the edge of the city, gradually coming around from the deeper night.Even the gale that should be in the sky seems to be going around for the two of them at this moment, at least the girl herself doesn't feel anything about it.

This is an indescribable beauty and shock.

Osmanthus Daisy stared blankly at the scenery reflected in her eyes, and murmured: "... so beautiful."

"That's it, I don't really know what to say to you, but—"

Mu Xiu said softly at the side, his expression seemed to be shining under the night sky, his eyes were as deep and distant as a pool of secluded water, and he looked into the distance.

"We're not in a bad situation now, don't you think?"

"Ah... um..."

The girl froze for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she responded.

Yes, now... I finally understand——

Osmanthus Daisy stared at the scene in front of her, and held her hand tightly.Fear of heights and the like, at this moment, all of them no longer exist, and there is only one thought left in her mind——

I... like this man.
