【One】

two weeks later.

April [-], Beijing time.

Ji Moqing's latest masterpiece "The Brightest Stars" was launched nationwide at the same time as the picture book of the same name.

At the same time, various roles in the movie version of "The Brightest Stars" began to be auditioned nationwide, radio dramas will also be broadcast on the literary time slots of major radio stations, and the national tour signing activity will also start in the near future.

April [-], early morning.

On the snow-white wall, in the clock face that seemed to be shining with light, the hour and minute hands were separated by 150 degrees, and the time was exactly seven o'clock.

Ji Moqing stood by the balcony and looked into the sky far away. A round of dazzling red was slowly rising in the blue sky. The message in his hand had been sent for a long time, and the other party hadn't responded yet.

The screen of the mobile phone went black again, and a hand turned on the screen light again——

Information from: Su Qianxing.

Chu Xiaoyi, today is your birthday. In the third year after being cheated by you, I finally have a chance to say happy birthday to you!If you want to know what happened on your birthday three years ago, Ziyang Middle School, I will wait for you, see you soon.

Time can never be reversed, just like the past can't be regarded as not happening, and now we can't go back to the past.

People are subject to change.

Because of you, because of me.

The letter comes from: Chu Xiaoyi.

Su Qianxing, the last time we meet, I will be there on time.

Looking at these words on the phone screen, Ji Moqing suddenly laughed, her bright smile was stronger than the sunlight shining in from the window, suddenly something like a crystal flashed, and her eyes instantly blurred.

There is a sour taste in the breath, pervading.

Like a fool, you still expect that you can come back to me after being used by me. How can there be such a despicable and selfish person like me in this world?
The world came crashing down.

【two】

On the way here, I imagined the scenes of meeting countless times. The first sentence I should say, but from the moment I saw her, Chu Xiaoyi couldn't say a word.

With a pale, bloodless face, a thin and thin figure, an ethereal smile on the corner of his lips, and long hair fluttering, the only thing that hasn't changed is his bright and transparent eyes.

Chu Xiao had a feeling in a trance, so far away, she was so far away from him, as if she was watching him retreat and escape step by step.

But isn't he the one who should escape from her?
"You came on time." There was a bit of sarcasm in his tone.

Chu Xiao frowned, and put his hand, which he didn't know where he put it, so stiffly into his pocket, he walked forward step by step, without blinking his eyes, as if he wanted to see through all the thoughts in her heart .

Countdown.

Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero.

time up.

You are still standing in front of me.

But I can't see through you.

Because you are too far away from me.

"See you or leave, even if I'm late, you won't go away, will you?"

Ji Moqing chuckled suddenly, and she fell into the city instantly, then she turned and walked towards the school's concert hall, her steps were slow, as if she deliberately slowed down because he hadn't followed him yet.

Chu Xiao quickly followed behind her, quietly, without making a sound.

The two walked one after the other, neither of them said a word, and it seemed that they were waiting for the other to speak first, and there was a terrifying silence.

The terrifying silence tightly surrounded the two people who were walking one after the other, like a mass of invisible clouds, overlapping each other heavily and depressingly, with no intersection or breakthrough point.

Passing through the rows of blue mist trees with purple flowers in full bloom, the concert hall is gradually approaching. The bright and spacious classrooms exude a fresh atmosphere as if washed by rain, and the heavy and heavy atmosphere is dissipated invisibly. The dignified breath.

"The key, you have it with you."

"Have."

Then Chu Xiaoyi took out the key, opened the door and walked in, but Ji Moqing just stood at the door of the classroom and watched him stop, then turned back and asked her, "Why don't you come in."

Ji Moqing shook her head and smiled charmingly: "Just come in."

"..."

"I suggest you sit down and listen." Ji Moqing looked at him who was stunned, and reminded softly, "I believe that what you hear next will become your nightmare and haunt you forever."

I believe that after you hear it, you will never be able to stand still.

Although Chu Xiaoyi was very puzzled, she still sat in the seat closest to her. I don't know if it was intentional or not. The seat he was sitting in was Mo Qing's favorite seat back then. At that time, she liked to sit Watching him play the piano gracefully from that closest position is like a prince stepping out of a painting.

"Today is your birthday, and I have prepared a gift for you." Ji Moqing walked slowly in front of him while talking.

He looked up at her.

She took out a very exquisitely wrapped gift box from her pocket, a boxy box wrapped in very colorful wrapping paper, and a beautiful bow was tied on the top of the box, it is not difficult to see that the person who gave the gift human mind.

Gently placed it in front of him, then took a few steps back and returned to the door of the classroom.

Even though she was right in front of her eyes, Chu Xiaoyi still felt a sense of great distance. The hand that hadn't received the gift was shocked by what she said next, and she just froze in the air in a daze.

"This gift box contains the gift I wanted to give you today three years ago. Are you sure you want to hold it now, or open it in front of me?"

"What do you mean?" Chu Xiao looked up at her.

She smiled.

"Do you know why I have such a face now? It was all the result of a well-planned car accident three years ago today."

"That night, it rained a lot, because there was a noisy guest at the part-time job, and I delayed my return time. I took the presents and ran all the way to school, ignoring how wet I was by the rain. gone."

"When I run to the concert hall, you know what I see?"

Chu Xiaoyi's nerves suddenly became tense.

"At that time, I was standing where I am now, watching you hug and kiss her, and I saw the blush on Su Manlei's face, and the deep affection in your eyes."

Snapped--

Chu Xiaoyi patted the table vigorously with her hand, stood up heavily from her seat, and said loudly, "What you saw is not true."

Following his actions, Ji Moqing's voice became extremely indifferent, "I'm such a fool, obviously Xiaoya told me not to go to the concert hall, but I didn't listen and went anyway... I believe what I saw Everything I saw, and you, I stood here and you didn't even see it."

"No, I... At that time, I didn't kiss Man Lei, nor..."

"No need, what else is there to explain now, no matter whether you kissed her or hugged her at that time, wouldn't it be impossible to change all the current reality? Chu Xiaoyi, what do you think?"

Chu Xiao was speechless.

"In this world, what I hate the most are people who betray me. But if I hadn't been stimulated at that time, how could I have been hit by a car so easily, Chu Xiaoyi, I would have become what I am now, You're part of it too."

"No, I didn't." Chu Xiaoyi's hands began to tremble.

Ji Moqing ignored his objection.

"If I hadn't seen such a scene, how could I not even pay attention to the road signs? How could I have been hit by a passing car so directly and accurately? I really felt that I was going to die at the time, until I fell into a coma After waking up, I was thinking, how good it would be if I died at that time, if I die, I won’t feel that the world is ruined..."

"You know? Before that, I always regarded you as my world, a world that only belonged to me."

Ji Moqing spoke softly, with a smile on her lips, but Chu Xiao's heart slowly froze like ice as soon as she saw it, and she could only hear her soft voice continuing to say:

"After I woke up, I knew that the person who saved me that day was Wen Zichen, and he also told me at the same time that my car accident was not accidental, but was deliberately planned. Now, I know that the people who want to kill me are Ye Jing and Su Manlei."

"After the car accident, I left a deep scar on my forehead due to a cut." As he spoke, Ji Moqing put his hand on his forehead, "Although I have undergone plastic surgery and changed my face , it hurts every time I touch this spot, and it never goes away."

Chu Xiaoyi immediately asked, "Is this why you want plastic surgery?"

"Hehe, of course not." Ji Moqing refused straight away, "Have you forgotten what I said? Being a writer is to come back for revenge, and my plastic surgery is also for this matter."

"With a different face, you came back after becoming a well-known writer, came to the school where Su Manlei and I were, approached us, and then achieved your goal step by step, right?"

Ji Moqing nodded and did not deny it, "To be honest, even if the car accident caused me to die, I will admit it, and I will not have any thoughts of revenge. The last thing I can tolerate is that they killed the person I love the most in my life."

"Are you talking about your mother, Aunt Ji?"

"That's right. At that time, I really didn't understand why my mother committed suicide. Even if life was bad, my mother didn't despair to the point of committing suicide. When I returned to my old home two years ago, I found a The brooch, there is a diamond inlaid on that brooch. Having seen Ye Jing countless times, I already knew that it belonged to that woman, and I believe even more that my mother chose to commit suicide because of her, otherwise, I would I can't think of any reason anymore, I can't think of a reason why she would leave me..."

"It must not be what you think."

"Chu Xiaoyi, there is no time to discuss whether this is the case." Facing his affirmative words, Ji Moqing's nerves could no longer bear it, and tears of pain flowed down her white cheeks like this.

"What is certain is that the woman Ye Jing came to see her mother before she died."

"What is certain is that the woman and her daughter Su Manlei are the ones who want to kill me."

"And you, Chu Xiaoyi, also became their accomplice that night."

【three】

Ever since I woke up from a car accident, such scenes have been appearing in my dreams——

My mother fell into a pool of blood, and stretched out a bloody hand to me, but her eyes were tightly closed...

A car hit me at a fast speed, and then I fell down, the heavy rain drenched my body, and slowly lost the temperature...

Every time I wake up in my sleep, I cry and wet the sheets, and I know at the same time——

In this world, what is more sad and hopeless than seeing the person you love leave?

What better thing in this world to hate those people than knowing the truth about everything that happened?

Is there anything in this world that hates you more than love?
When everything has happened, when all the truth is in front of me, I can no longer think of a reason to always love you as the world, and I can no longer think of not revenge on them, not letting The grounds for them to enter the point of no return.

I hate them because I love you so much.

Resent myself even more.

[Four]

It has been a month since the beginning of summer, and the temperature has risen significantly.

With the launch of all the activities of "The Brightest Star", the entire book world has almost set off a "star wind". Every time Ji Moqing goes to a city, the on-site signing activities become more and more enthusiastic. It was only after Ji Moqing saw the same similar face that she realized that the book fans had followed her from one stop to the next.

However, with the arrival of midsummer, the nationwide signing tour has gradually come to an end.

in the lounge.

Bei Xi fell down on the long sofa closest to the air conditioner without any image, and complained loudly: "Qingqing, is the boss of your company a human being? How dare you organize such a nationwide tour of signing sales for you?" Tiredness does not pay for death, I have been unable to eat or sleep during this period of time, and my whole body seems to be falling apart."

"No one wants you to come with me." Wen Zichen looked at him and said angrily while smiling.

"You think I'm willing to follow, if it wasn't for helping Qingqing, I wouldn't want to be able to participate in an event like this, you see, I have never held such a tiring signing event like Qingqing's when my work was published. "

Wen Zichen stopped talking, but poured a glass of ice water for Bei Xi, and poured another glass of ice water for Ji Moqing who was sitting by the side.

"Drink some water." Apart from these, he could hardly find anything to say to her.

For the past month, Wen Zichen and Beixi tried their best to make her talk and make her happy, even if there was only one expression on her face, they were all looking forward to it with a million points.

However, apart from participating in the signing activities very obediently, signing sales non-stop, eating after returning, and then holding the computer to write, feeling tired and resting, she never did anything or said a word.

She was losing weight rapidly, and sometimes Wen Zichen and Bei Xi couldn't force her to inject glucose to replenish her strength, for fear that one day she would collapse from exhaustion and never wake up again.

Firmly holding the cup with one hand, Ji Moqing put the cup to his lips, drank the ice water in one gulp, then handed the empty cup back to Wen Zichen, but Wen Zichen didn't catch the cup in a flash, With a loud bang, the glass fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Bei Xi watched her drink the ice water in one gulp, saw the glass shattered into pieces, her body stiffened like a stone when she sat up on the sofa, and her eyes immediately turned red.

The shards of glass were like Wen Zichen's broken heart, and his hands that were still in the air trembled. He didn't know what happened to make her become like this, as if the whole person was sealed off It's the same, it's not her at all.

He feels sorry for her like this.

But he has no way.

"Zichen, do you know what happened to make her become like this?" Bei Xi didn't know how many times she asked such a question.

Wen Zichen still shook his head.

"Did you notice anything unusual about her before this?" Bei Xi asked again.

"She asked me if her father was discharged from the hospital, and asked me to withdraw the complaint against Ye Jing. She also said that she had done everything she should have done except that she couldn't bring Su Manlei back to life." Wen Zi Chen couldn't remember how many times this was the first time he answered this question.

"Is there nothing else besides these?"

Wen Zichen shook his head in affirmation.

"Zichen, I think everyone has already asked, but there is no result. Should I ask that person?"

"Which person?" Wen Zichen didn't realize who Bei Xi was talking about for a moment.

Bei Xi looked at Ji Moqing, who had been in a daze, and said a name he knew so well from his lips: "Chu Xiaoyi, I believe he is the only person we can ask now."

I believe that the only person she loves in this world is not us, but him, Chu Xiaoyi.

Similarly, I also believe that apart from him, Chu Xiaoyi, no one in the world will know why she is like this.

【Fives】

It wasn't until the tenth call was made that there was finally a response from the other end of the phone.

"Su Qianxing, do you have anything else to do?" The tone was very cold, without the slightest emotion.

Wen Zichen held Ji Moqing's mobile phone vigorously, his fingertips felt cold, and after a few seconds he said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Chu Xiaoyi, it's me."

"What's the matter?" Still indifferent.

"I have something to ask you."

"what's up."

Wen Zichen took a deep breath and asked, "Did you see her a month ago?"

"Her? Su Qianxing?"

"Correct."

"I have seen."

The affirmative answer from the person on the other end made Wen Zichen's heart agitated, and he asked again, "What happened to you?"

After a few seconds of silence, Wen Zichen heard Chu Xiaoyi say: "Aren't you the closest to Su Qianxing? Didn't she tell you what happened?"

Hearing his cold tone, Wen Zichen, who was always good-tempered, felt inexplicable anger in his chest, and he emphasized his tone: "I think it must be something that happened to you that affected her, and she has such an abnormal behavior." reaction."

"Oh, what's the reaction, half-dead? Aren't you still running the signing event?" Chu Xiaoyi smiled mockingly.

"If I tell you that she is no different from a vegetative except for eating and participating in activities, except for not talking, what do you think, why don't you tell me what happened?"

"what?"

"Except for you, I can't think of anyone else who can influence her to such an extent."

Time ticked by, and after half an hour of silence, Wen Zichen looked at Ji Moqing, who was already too tired to sleep beside him, and tightened his grip on the phone, word by word. Saying:

"You know, she, never had the courage to mention these things to me, even though I've been with her for so long, I've never heard her say it."

"And you, after hearing these words, have you ever wondered what will happen to her already fragile heart? Have you ever wondered whether she can accept such a fact..."

"You may not know that I have never been close to her heart in the past three years by her side."
