But it was just a sweet dream after all. Su Mingzheng reached out and grabbed the hand of Zhou Yunruo who was playing "Gorgeous Song No. 1". The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the contact between their skins made them stunned for a moment. It seemed It was their first contact after two years of separation.
"Let me play." Su Mingzheng said calmly.
Even though it had been many years since the two of them were hiding in the music classroom and playing together, Su Mingzheng did not have a piano in her life, but when her fingertips gently touched the keys, the notes of the gorgeous song No. 1 flowed out smoothly.
After Zhou Yunruo played this song in the music classroom, she secretly took out the music score and practiced it, planning to show it one day so that people who miss her can better understand her feelings.
Later, many times, when she was missing or reminiscing, she played this song alone, even after the two broke off their friendship. Especially after breaking off the relationship, Su Mingzheng used to play this song frantically and repeatedly, almost going crazy.
But now she was sitting next to Zhou Yunruo, playing the song smoothly and gently without saying anything.
They don’t tell the story behind the song, they don’t tell the meaning of the song, and they don’t explain why they took over playing it at this moment.
After playing, Su Mingzheng was still calm and calm, with a solemn face.
"What did you come to see me for today?"
Zhou Yunruo lowered his face, with an expression that seemed a little hesitant, and finally turned to look at Su Mingzheng:
"Can we still be friends? We were such good friends... at least we can still be friends."
Zhou Yunruo is also an arrogant person who doesn't like to ask for help, but now he had a begging look on his face.
Su Mingzheng raised her eyebrows, "Zhou Yunruo, do you have no friends?" This was Su Mingzheng's true character: cold and vicious.
"You are so short of friends, are you...not popular!?" Su Mingzheng sneered.
Zhou Yunruo, who had never been treated like this before breaking up the relationship, but had been treated like this many times in recent years, looked a little flustered, and then sighed.
"Forgive me for refusing. I have no shortage of friends. Don't make a special trip here to say such things again."
Su Mingzheng stood up from the piano chair, condescending.
"I don't want to boast, even if you find a random friend, you won't find someone like me." Because Su Mingzheng treated Zhou Yunruo with sincerity, the purest passion, and twelve years of concentration. It is simply an impossible task to find the second one in life.
Su Mingzheng raised her chin, turned around and left from the piano, walking through the aisle between the seats in the chapel, just as she was leaving──
The music of "Mapleleafrag" rang out in the chapel. It was a playful, loose and free piece of music that did not match Zhou Yunruo at all, but it could only be played by her.
The notes danced from her fingertips.
Su Mingzheng felt her legs and feet becoming heavy against the music, and she fell heavily to the ground with every step she took.
Pushing open the wooden door of the chapel and seeing the skylight outside, Su Mingzheng walked straight down the stairs and walked straight through the entrance of the piano hall, so she didn't notice: Su Ronghan did not leave to hang out by herself, but sat next to her. On the stairs, Su Ronghan stood up the first moment she saw Su Mingzheng. When Su Mingzheng walked straight forward, Su Ronghan trotted to accompany her.
Su Mingzheng didn't notice all this.
＿＿＿
What Su Ronghan saw that afternoon was a very strange Su Mingzheng.
Restless and thoughtful are not enough to describe it. If I use a more terrifying way to describe it, it would be: zombie, well, it seems too scary... In short, it is just a walking body, and the soul is no longer there.
Su Ronghan never thought that one day she would worry about her sister walking into a wall.
On the surface, Su Mingzheng straightened her back, no different from usual, but this posture was just an illusion, just due to inertia. It was not an exaggeration. Su Ronghan, who was walking beside her, saw that Su Mingzheng seemed to be unable to see the front, and almost bumped into her. When she got into a corner, she urgently gave her sister a hand, which prevented Su Mingzheng from knocking into the wall and ruining her prestige.
In addition to having a dim vision, she is obviously a great beauty with a beautiful appearance. No matter where she walks, she can be proud and should be infinitely beautiful. However, Su Ronghan saw Su Mingzheng tripping awkwardly several times while walking up the stairs. She was too small. There are slopes everywhere on the island, so there are stone steps everywhere.
Su Ronghan had no choice but to focus on paying attention to her sister's footsteps.
Su Mingzheng was careless anyway, so she kicked something with her toes. After staggering, she regained her balance. After a slight pause, she still kept her head high and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened. It was unclear where she wanted to go. Soon she almost fell again, whether on a slope or on flat ground.
She didn't know the pain, she didn't know the danger, she didn't care about face, and she didn't even know how embarrassed she was. She only saw Su Ronghan in suspense, and... she felt so distressed that her heart throbbed as she was crumbling.
Su Ronghan wanted to support her, but Su Mingzheng seemed to instinctively feel that she was in the way, so she threw her hand away and walked alone. Su Ronghan soon understood: Su Mingzheng did not allow others to touch her. So Su Ronghan could only quickly speed up her steps and support her when she was really about to fall.
Miraculously, an unintentional person, paired with an anxious person, wandered around the island without incident.
Soon, Su Mingzheng, who didn't know if anyone was looking for directions, walked along the road to the busiest cross street on the island, which is the area where buildings are clustered on Sunlight Rock, radiating out from a slope with a big banyan tree as the center. There are four stone-paved trails. Next to the trails are shops opened by islanders. They are mainly restaurants, beverage shops, coffee shops, and shops selling literary and artistic souvenirs. Under the big banyan trees, tourists who are tired from walking and enjoying the shade gather. In fact They are the guests of the Su family.
Su Ronghan suddenly realized that it was not good for Su Mingzheng to appear in this busy place, not to mention that she also saw Lai Yazhu, who was standing in front of a hand-cranked beverage shop, holding milk tea in one hand and looking around. , needless to say, I am looking for "someone".
It would not be good for the heartless Su Mingzheng to meet Lai Yazhu! very bad! Who knows if she will seduce her sister away! !
Su Ronghan even saw her mother Huang Wanying. It's not a good idea to let such a sister see her mother. Su Mingzheng definitely doesn't want others to see her like this.
Su Ronghan grabbed Su Mingzheng's wrist and refused to let go this time.
"Sister, don't leave anymore... let's find a coffee shop to rest?" Su Ronghan fell in love with a small coffee shop opened in a crack. The walls of the crack were covered with ivy, and the small facade only had two sliding doors. Width, with a faded poster on the door, it looked like a place not easily found.
Su Mingzheng stopped. Although she didn't seem to realize where she was, she was pulled into the coffee shop obediently.
There were only three or four tables in the coffee shop. Su Ronghan chose the one behind the bookshelf to provide more coverage, and quickly placed her sister on the seat.
"Sister, let's order coffee?" In order to stay in the coffee shop legitimately, he had to order. After a long silence with the absent-minded Su Mingzheng, Su Ronghan chose two types of coffee and placed the order.
Soon, two cups of steaming coffee were served. The shop owner was a non-verbal person and immediately returned to the counter to read his novel, paying no attention to the two customers in the shop.
Looking at the black coffee in front of Su Mingzheng, Su Ronghan didn't dare to add sugar or milk for her rashly, so she had to add sugar and stir her own latte. Su Mingzheng didn't touch it until the heat of the black coffee dissipated and turned into a cup of calm dark brown liquid.
Time has become a free product that is unimportant and can be thrown away at will. It passes by the two of them without any meaning. Su Ronghan took a magazine and spread it on the table, but it was just for decoration. Every time she read two lines of words, she looked up and focused on what was in front of her. My sister, her thoughts are on the unresponsive person.
After not moving around, Su Mingzheng escaped from the crumbling mess, but her whole body exuded deep sadness, silently lost in thought like a stone sculpture.
She was thinking about how she and Zhou Yunruo were separated.
After that peak, it started to go downhill.
After leaving the isolated mountain villa and returning to school, it felt like everything was starting over again. The two of them could no longer be as close as they were in the villa, and they could no longer do those inappropriate behaviors. At least, Zhou Yunruo was not willing to do so. She was once again bound by her family and the title of student council president, and she had to live a well-behaved life and become a role model for her peers.
The relationship between the two returned to being good friends again, which indeed made Su Mingzheng feel uncomfortable for a long time. She was irritable and depressed for a long time, which even made her teacher Lu Huajuan, who was particularly concerned about her, talk to her several times. However, even though she was irritable and depressed. Unable to bear it, Su Mingzheng did not give up.
On the one hand, she began to spend money to study hard in order to go to the same university as Zhou Yunruo. On the other hand, she was still by Zhou Yunruo's side and declared frankly that she would not give up.
Just as she told Su Ronghan, Su Mingzheng confessed to her on Zhou Yunruo's birthday and Valentine's Day.
On the night of the high school graduation ceremony, Su Mingzheng led Zhou Yunruo to the river beach. With more careful arrangements, the fireworks that day were more beautiful than the night of the junior high school graduation ceremony, with fireworks blooming in the summer night sky.
Perhaps because he already knew that Su Mingzheng would confess, Zhou Yunruo's expression was not as relaxed and innocent as that night in junior high school, and suddenly seemed a little heavy.
Even so, Su Mingzheng still tried her best to smile brightly, emptied her heart, and expressed her love to the person in front of her.
She said everything, whether it was romantic words or every detail of the two of them getting along, and in the end she even said the long-planned promise.
"Don't be afraid. I will inherit Xinguang in the future, and I will marry you openly."
Su Mingzheng has always thought this way. Even if her life is still long, she only needs Zhou Yunruo and plans to stay with him for the rest of her life. Perhaps such a promise seemed silly to say at the age of eighteen. Su Mingzheng was not prepared to say it, but she said it anyway.
But she didn't understand, what was Zhou Yunruo thinking?
It was obviously a romantic and touching confession, but why was Zhou Yunruo frowning and looking sad. Su Mingzheng's figure flashed in her eyes, "Mingzheng..."
"sorry……"
"I can't promise you." Zhou Yunruo's eyes were filled with light and seemed to be in pain.
"Why...can't you like women?" Even if you don't like women, can't you like me? Su Mingzheng has this kind of confidence in herself and can break through gender.
But Zhou Yunruo thought about this issue for a long time.
She finally shook her head and replied, "I don't know either."
Zhou Yunruo was in pain, and Su Mingzheng could feel it. Someone who could handle student union affairs decisively, yet answered so hesitantly.
Is falling in love with yourself such a painful thing?
