Back in the dormitory, Xie Tao was still trapped in the sadness of the past. Guo Shuting's past could not be tolerated by her. She changed from a young general with a knife and a horse to a drunken teacher of the Agni Military Academy, and she didn't know that he How did these years go.
Just when he was sad and sad, the sound of water flowing in the bathroom interrupted Xie Tao's thoughts. When he opened the door, Xie Tao's face collapsed immediately. Why did the water pipe leak again
The troubles in reality defeated the troubles in his mind, Xie Tao rolled up his sleeves, squatted down, and honestly started to repair the water pipes.
When Gu Yan came back, he poked his head into the bathroom, "What are you doing! I brought you something to eat."
"The water pipe is broken again, you can eat it, I don't have time." Xie Tao looked at the water pipe that was still spraying water, and had a headache. This kind of technical work is not suitable for him, and Gu Yan's frame is probably even more ignorant.
Gu Yan frame didn't care about her troubles, she pulled her out by her collar, sat down on the bed, and stuffed the snacks into Xie Tao's hands, "I'll fix it! You eat!"
He arranged it very well, rolled up his sleeves proudly, and raised his eyebrows at Xie Tao.
Watching people enter the bathroom, Xie Tao held the snack and did not move a mouthful, with a suspicious expression on his face, can the pampered young master really know how to repair plumbing
After staring at the bathroom for a long time, the sound of water flowing continued, and it seemed to have a tendency to become louder.
Gu Yanjiao poked her head out suddenly, and stared at her with his beautiful eyes, "Why don't you eat!"
Xie Tao hurriedly opened the bag, stuffed a piece of snack into his mouth, and chewed loudly, Gu Yan frame retracted his head in satisfaction.
There was a sound of running water in the bathroom, and Young Master Gu said again, "For the flowers on the table, find a bottle and put them in."
"Okay!" Xie Tao replied, stood up with half a piece of snack in his mouth, walked to the table unsteadily, was shocked immediately, all eyes were golden, a sunflower was lying carelessly on the table .
Who buys flowers and sunflowers? Xie Tao felt disgusted in his heart, but obediently found a bottle and put it in it.
"Is it delicious?" Gu Yan asked sullenly again.
"Delicious!" Xie Tao raised his voice and replied.
As soon as the words fell, Li Wenzhong from downstairs opened the window and shouted, "Xie Liangchen! Gu Yan frame! What are you doing? It's leaking! My hot pot!"
Xie Tao was taken aback by this shout, almost choked, and hurried to the bathroom, opened the door, the water in the bathroom flowed into a river, Gu Yan frame stood in the mess and smiled at her awkwardly, "Are you taking a bath? The water temperature is just right…”
Xie Tao rolled his eyes at him, sure enough, the young master doesn't know how to repair water pipes.
Looking at the surging water, I am afraid that Li Wenzhong downstairs not only has no hot pot to eat, he should have already lived in the Water Curtain Cave. Gu Yan frame wading out of the water, wet all over, has become drowned, even so he can laugh, just because he saw the sunflowers in the vase, Xie Tao chewing snacks, and Xie Tao's helpless smile .
In the end, it was Huang Song who came to help fix the water pipes, so that the military academy would not be flooded with water.
The next few days were calm and calm, and the days were considered comfortable and complete.
Xie Tao worked harder in daily training. Gu Yan did not fall behind her, but unexpectedly followed her in serious training with a foolish attitude. Even Guo Shuting praised him unexpectedly. Xie Tao didn't understand what Gu Yan was suffering from Stimulated, but his change is always good.
The daily life of the military academy is quite boring, Xie Tao has been too lazy to go out, until Tan Xiaojun received an invitation to a masquerade ball three days ago, and insisted on pestering Xie Tao to go together.
Of course Xie Tao resolutely refused, but he didn't know what Xiaojun was going crazy, he insisted on Xie Tao's company, seeing Tan Xiaojun's eyes full of tears, Xie Tao agreed with a soft heart.
But when she changed into women's clothes and accompanied Tan Xiaojun to the place where the ball was held, Xie Tao regretted it when he saw the magnificent villa in front of him. Isn't this the Banshan mansion
She stared at Xiaojun sharply, "What's going on?"
Tan Xiaojun dodged her eyes and dared not answer, and led her all the way into the mansion.
"You, anyway, I don't know, you will know when you go in."
She picked up a mask and put it on her face, and handed the other to Xie Tao, "Let's go, the dance is about to begin."
Xie Tao saw that she was hiding something from him, and wanted to continue to ask, but Xiao Jun was very shrewd, and with a flash of her footsteps, she slid into the dance floor with another man wearing a black mask.
Xie Tao had no choice but to put on a mask and stand in the corner idly watching people dance.
She didn't stand close to the front, but there were really a lot of people here, Xie Tao glanced at Tan Xiaojun from time to time, not noticing that one of the people passing by was unsteady, and the wine spilled and wet her skirt. With a soft cry, she quickly put down the wine glass in her hand, and wanted to wipe it with a tissue, but a handkerchief was handed to her in time.
The man in front of him was wearing a white suit with a silver butterfly mask on his face. At this moment, he was quietly looking at Xie Tao, obviously he was a guest who also came to the ball.
Xie Tao didn't care, took the handkerchief and wiped the wine stains, "Thank you, but if the handkerchief is dirty, you still need to."
The man shook his head, indicating that it doesn't matter, and then extended his hand to Xie Tao. Knowing that he was asking for a dance, Xie Tao didn't want to accept it, and she was going to sneak away after staying for a while.
"Sorry, I can't dance." She lied.
The man still stretched out his hand, stubbornly doing the gesture of invitation.
This attitude of unwillingness to give in made her feel puzzled, Xie Tao hesitated for a moment, she felt that she owed him a favor, and it was not good to brush his face under the eyes of everyone, so she had to put her hand on his. The man smiled and led Xie Tao into the dance floor.
The dance music was soft and beautiful, that person's dance was really good, and he led her to dance lightly. Gradually, Xie Zhen found that the people on the dance floor retreated one after another, standing aside to watch, and there were only two of them on the huge dance floor.
The footsteps were messed up, Xie Tao felt something was wrong, but fortunately, the music was about to end, so she could leave as soon as possible.
The two ended the dance with a perfect movement, and all the onlookers were applauding, but Xie Tao was not very happy, it was obviously over, why did he still hug himself and not let go. The close distance made Xie Tao feel a little uncomfortable. She pushed, trying to get away from the man in front of her, but his waist was tightened by him. He leaned slightly, lowered his head, and said softly to Xie Tao , "Still don't recognize me?"
When Xie Tao heard this voice, he froze for a moment and stared at him blankly.
She saw the silver butterfly mask being taken off, and Shen Junshan's fair and handsome face was revealed. He smiled at Xie Tao with a rare gentle smile and rare affectionate eyes, "But I recognize you, although A little late."
Touching Xie Tao's mask with his hand, Shen Junshan took it off, then lowered his head, closed his eyes, breathing closer and closer, Xie Tao's body was stiff, and he instinctively tilted his head back.
No, absolutely not.
Xie Tao pushed him away forcefully, she just felt that everything in front of her was unreal, and she couldn't face Shen Junshan like this at all.
The surrounding lights were dazzling her eyes, and Shen Junshan's affectionate expression made her even more uncomfortable. The voices of the people gradually became louder, and Shen Junshan in front of her seemed real and unreal.
Shen Junshan refused to let her go, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you happy?"
Glad to be confessed in front of so many people, but glad he recognized him. Xie Tao felt it was ridiculous. She admitted that she had always regarded Shen Junshan as a very special person and placed him in a very special position. But... he is not Gu Yan frame, the two of them are completely different.
Xie Tao suddenly felt guilty, turned around and ran out of the hall.
Xie Tao didn't stop until he could no longer see the resplendent and resplendent house, panting heavily. Tan Xiaojun chased after her, also out of breath, and it took her a long time to speak, she looked at Xie Tao with a guilty face, "Xiangxiang, I'm sorry, I didn't expect Second Young Master Shen to treat you like this."
Xie Tao looked up at her, a little aggrieved, "How did he tell you?"
Tan Xiaojun confessed honestly, "He told me to bring Xie Liangchen's sister to the dance. This is a masked dance. It's my first time to attend!"
Hearing this, Xie Tao's hanging heart finally let go of half. Just now when Shen Junshan said that he recognized her, Xie Tao thought he recognized her identity as a woman disguised as a man. Fortunately, he has not found out yet.
However, his feelings for Xie Xiang were also a problem, Xie Tao's heart suddenly sank again, he hurriedly said goodbye to Xiaojun, stopped a rickshaw and went back to the military academy.
The car was running against the wind, and the cool wind blew all over Xie Tao's face. But no matter how strong the wind is, it can't blow away the boredom in Xie Zhen's heart. For some reason, she just wants to go back to the dormitory, take a look at the sunflower, and take a look at its owner.
She thought of the many times she spent with Shen Junshan, and she couldn't figure out why someone like Shen Junshan fell in love with "Xie Xiang" who had only met a few times. This "Xie Xiang" is so charming, isn't it? Some are too inexplicable.
After the ball event, Xie Tao could no longer look directly at Shen Junshan, and even avoided walking when they met each other. For this, Shen Junshan didn't find it strange at all, but frowned when he saw her.
Maybe he just thought that he, as brother Xie Xiang, was against his feelings for Xie Xiang
Xie Tao has a very headache. As classmates, friends, and comrades-in-arms, can't we maintain this simple relationship? Why do we have to have feelings that shouldn't be born.
Finally, on the path in the cafeteria, Shen Junshan stopped her.
"Xie Liangchen, why do you keep avoiding me recently?"
This is really a feng shui turn. I think it was what Xie Tao asked him at the beginning. Xie Tao lowered his head, still couldn't look directly at him, and said perfunctorily: "I didn't, you think too much."
There was deathly silence, and after a long time, a note was handed to Xie Tao. The seal of the military academy on it was bright red, obviously it was newly stamped, Xie Tao was taken aback for a moment, then took it and read it carefully.
This is... an approval slip for changing dormitories
Xie Tao's face darkened, and finally he was willing to look up at Shen Junshan, "What does this mean? Why do you want to ask the instructor to change the dormitory for me?"
"Nowadays there are so many gossips between you and Gu Yan, don't you care?" Shen Junshan looked directly at her with no shame in his eyes: "We are all friends, and besides, I like your sister, so it's normal to do a little favor .Unless you and Gu Yan are really..."
"Of course not!" Xie Tao denied it, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart. She really wanted to say yes, she wanted to tell Shen Junshan, tell everyone that she just likes Gu Yan frame. But her status does not allow her to do so, so she can only bury these words in her heart.
"That's good." Hearing this answer, Shen Junshan's expression relaxed a little, and his words became more frequent, "I'll help you move the dormitory, it's very troublesome for you to move alone..."
"No need." Xie Tao interrupted him, rejected him for the first time, and left without looking back.
She was very angry, and this anger made her pack her luggage in silence, and silently carry out what others "thought" to do, just to protect her shady identity and her inability to show her feelings to everyone.
After packing up his things and standing in front of the door with the suitcase in his hand, Xie Tao looked at the room reluctantly. The sunflowers on the table were constantly swaying by the wind, as if beckoning her to come back. Xie Tao made up his mind, closed the door, and left with his luggage.
Everything is fine in the new dormitory, only you are alone, spacious and bright, and you don't have to worry about your identity being discovered. This is the environment Xie Tao dreamed of when he started school.
As soon as the clothes were put into the closet, there was a heavy slamming sound on the door outside. Don't even think about it, there is no one else except Gu Yan.
Pushing open the door, Gu Yan hugged Xie Tao, his face was still a little shocked, "You scared me to death, I thought it was Li Wenzhong who did something to you..."
Xie Tao stretched his neck and looked in the corridor. Li Wenzhong was standing not far away, looking at the two of them bitterly. The fist marks on his face hadn't disappeared yet. After all, he endured it without saying anything, and left with his head buried.
Why is it always me who is injured, Li Wenzhong thought sadly on the road, he thought that everyone would fight together and become good brothers.
Only then did Xie Tao understand that Gu Yan frame probably thought that she would only leave after being exposed by Li Wenzhong. Smiling apologetically at Li Wenzhong, Xie Tao pulled Gu Yan back to the dormitory.
Gu Yan glanced at the tidy house, and asked in a hoarse voice, "It wasn't Li Wenzhong, but Shen Junshan asked you to move?"
Xie Zhen gritted her teeth and remained silent. Seeing her like this, Gu Yan gnashed her teeth and moved her wrists, looking like she was desperately trying to find Shen Junshan.
So her words turned around, "I want to move it myself!"
Gu Yan stopped and looked back at her, her eyes were full of disbelief, Xie Tao didn't dare to look into his eyes, lowered her head and murmured, "Now people are talking about me and you everywhere, I, I don't love to hear."
This is of course a lie, and she felt uncomfortable when she said it, and the people who listened to it must also feel uncomfortable.
Gu Yan looked at her with burning eyes, and sighed for a while.
His father was humiliated and he was humiliated. He never showed the pain, but only covered it up with anger and arrogance. But now, when Xie Tao said that she was leaving the dormitory by herself, he couldn't hold back his eyes.
Although she didn't say it in her mouth, she clearly accepted herself in her actions, and she clearly showed him such a different look, and her smile was so gentle and beautiful.
Why did everything change overnight. Gu Yan couldn't figure it out, he clenched his fists tightly, he is the son of the Gu family, a top student in the Raging Fire Military Academy, romantic and affectionate, the number of girls who like him cannot be counted.
But there is only one Xie Tao in his heart, and he is full of her. In this burning world, she is the only one he wants to protect in his arms.
Gu Yan frame left, and for the whole day, Gu Yan frame didn't come to her again, and even if they met in class, she didn't speak, and she didn't even bother to look at her.
Xie Tao was extremely depressed and unhappy, and he didn't know how to explain to Gu Yan frame so that he would not be angry and would not trouble Shen Junshan.
In the evening, Xie Tao finally knocked on the door of Gu Yanframe's dormitory. She had practiced her apology in private for a day, but Gu Yanframe didn't give her a chance to show it. No one opened the door after knocking for a long time.
Huang Song came out with a thermos bottle and saw Xie Tao stop, "Are you looking for Gu Yan frame? His things were lost downstairs for some reason, and he has been looking downstairs in the dormitory for a day."
Xie Tao ran out in a hurry, it was already dark, Gu Yan frame was wandering around on the lawn with a flashlight, the flashlight was not very bright, how long he had been looking for. Xie Tao walked over to him, and after walking a few steps, he found something under his feet reflecting slightly in the moonlight. He picked it up and saw that it was a button, which was threaded with a thin silver rope to make a pair of buttons. necklace.
Xie Tao held the necklace and stared blankly at Gu Yanzhu, her heart was sore and astringent. This button was given to him as a joke on Gu Yanzhu's birthday. As a result, when he got up the next day, he found that his shirt was really missing a button. Xie Tao didn't expect that he would make it into a necklace and wear it on his body.
He must have been furious yesterday, otherwise why would he have thrown away the necklace.
She wanted to stop him, wanted to make it clear to Gu Yan, wanted to see him smile at herself, and even more wanted to tell him that she didn't actually want to leave.
Rumble!
A roar came from the direction of the city center, the flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed, turning half of the night into a scorching crimson.
This sudden change stunned everyone in the Raging Fire Academy. Even Gu Yanjiao didn't care to look for the necklace again. He turned his head, saw Xie Tao's panicked eyes in the firelight, and stepped forward to grab her hand.
The nearest fire point was not far from them. When everyone rushed to Shannan Tavern, it had been burned to ruins by the fire.
Guo Shuting stood in front of the tavern, quietly looking at the ruins. The fire in the city center was still burning, reflecting the tears on Guo Shuting's face.
Huo Xiaoyu, maybe he really left.
