Looking through the mirror, Mu Rong saw Sang Yu pouted, with an unhappy expression on his face, curled the corners of his mouth, and took his schoolbag.
Sang Yu was pleasantly surprised, but she wanted to put on a "don't care" expression again, poking her neck, but peeking out of the corner of her eyes.
"Here."
"What!?"
"My voluntary form, don't you hand it in this afternoon, just so you can take mine with you."
"I do not watch."
"Really don't read it? Then I put it away."
Sang Yu snatched the paper from Murong's hand. The latter just smiled and didn't intend to put it away at all. Sang Yu blushed and opened the volunteer list.
On the first choice, it is impressively written: Lu Mei, majoring in the Department of Sculpture.
"Ah~!"
Sang Yu hugged Mu Rong excitedly, and kissed her hard on the face: "I knew you couldn't bear to part with me, it's great, we can be together again."
Murong wiped the place where Sang Yu kissed with disgust, with an unnatural expression on his face.
"Sang Yu."
"Um?"
"Before school starts, accompany me to a place, just the two of us."
"good."
When the appointed day came, before dawn, Murong went to Sang Yu's house with his big luggage and waited.
Sang Yu greeted Murong, but the other party just nodded.
Sang Yu held Murong's arm: "What's the matter, are you in a bad mood today?"
"good."
"Where are you taking me? It's mysterious."
"We'll know when we arrive."
What Murong is going to is a place that she would never dare to go alone in her life.
Although she has only been here once, she still remembers this road clearly.
That place has long been deeply nailed in Mu Rong's heart, and it will never be pulled out for a lifetime.
After walking on the mountain road for more than four hours, I saw the destination in a weed that was half the height of a person.
The moment she saw the tombstone, Sang Yu fell silent.
The tomb of Mu Haijun was written on it, but it was not signed.
The tombstones were covered with vines, and the graves were covered with weeds.
Without saying a word, Murong walked to the grave and began to clean it up, and Sang Yu followed.
After working for half an hour, it showed its original appearance.
When Murong laid out the tribute, Sang Yu said softly, "I'll go over there for a walk."
Mu Rong kept moving, and let out a "hmm".
She poured the wine into the glass, her mind was blank, she squatted for an unknown how long until her legs went numb, she simply sat on the ground, staring at the tombstone in a daze.
She hated the people lying inside, and even strongly advocated throwing Mu Haijun's body in the wilderness.
It was her mother who stopped her. Tang Jie said: "What a bastard he is, after all, he gave you life. Now that he is dead, let's do the last thing for him, let him rest in peace, bury him farther away, and bury it where we can’t see it.”
To this day, Murong is somewhat grateful to his mother for stopping her at that time.
Although Mu Haijun died, the torment he brought to Mu Rong never stopped.
As she grows older, Mu Rong gradually understands what she has done.
In the later days, she would often ask herself: Back then, was there really no other way
Will Mu Haijun one day abandon evil and do good, and be a good person
Or will her mother summon up the courage to use the law to defend her rights and bravely divorce Mu Haijun
It's a pity that all "ifs" were terminated by Mu Rong himself.
She was not sanctioned by the law, but as she grew up and became sensible, she fell into the torment of her conscience and couldn't extricate herself.
She thought she should hate him.
Murong spilled the wine in his glass on the ground: "... I'm admitted to university."
"My mother's pancake stall has also turned into a small shop, and the business is booming."
Two sentences, three glasses of wine.
Mu Rong got up, patted the weeds and dirt on his body, and found Sang Yu.
Sang Yu's eyes were full of worry, she looked at Mu Rong distressedly: "Are you okay?"
"Don't tell my mother, let's go back."
"good."
Speechless all the way, near home, Sang Yu suddenly stopped, grabbed Murong's hand, and pulled her into his arms.
Sang Yu wrapped her arms around Mu Rong's body, patted her on the back lightly, and said softly, "It's not your fault."
Mu Rong's body froze at first, then slowly softened, allowing the petite Sang Yu to hug her.
There was a familiar smell in her nostrils, and she was suddenly a little tired. She leaned on Sang Yu's shoulder and let out a long sigh.
"Sang Yu."
"Um?"
"You said... If I hadn't killed him back then, would he have become a good man?"
"Human nature is hard to change."
Mu Rong straightened up and looked into Sang Yu's eyes, which were empty of inquiry and doubt: "I think I can influence him and give him time to be kind, but I don't."
Sudden!
Mu Rong noticed that Sang Yu's face was a little blurred, and he was terrified: "Sang Yu, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Ruyan showed a painful expression, she learned human emotions through Mu Rong's past.
But once some of Murong's words, behaviors, or thoughts do not conform to the logic of human behavior in Luo Ruyan's cognition, it will bring pain to Luo Ruyan, and at the same time, the dream will be on the verge of collapse.
Luo Ruyan's spiritual wisdom has just opened, and her mana is limited, just as Sang Tong predicted: she can't give different human emotions to everyone in her dream. When Sang Tong enters the painting, Luo Ruyan can only play one person.
Playing the role of Su Sifang, she obtained Sang Tong's past through touch, and then weaved a new dream through Sang Tong's past, making Sang Tong mistakenly think that she had returned to reality.
Therefore, when Luo Ruyan appeared in front of Sang Tong for the first time, "Su Sifang" fainted.
After Sang Tong entered the next dream, she got rid of Hao Jiefang and pretended to be Mu Rong first, saying that Sang Yu had fallen asleep and Su Sifang was in a coma.
After Mu Rong left, Su Sifang woke up.
In the initial scene, it seemed that many people were involved, but only one was "awake".
Luo Ruyan is afraid of Sang Tong, the crazy cultivator who takes killing demons as his mission.
She saw countless people of the same kind who were folded in Sang Tong's hands, who were more advanced than her, so many that Sang Tong's own memory was a little fuzzy.
In order to avoid problems, Luo Ruyan had no choice but to arrange for Mu Rong to leave and Sang Yu to go out to work, leaving Sang Tong's shop empty.
However, when Mu Rong came in, Luo Ruyan found that she seemed to be unable to deceive Sang Tong. She read Sang Tong's past from time to time, and found that Sang Tong was doubting the authenticity of this world, and more and more frequently.
Luo Ruyan knew: without a life-saving trump card, she must not let Sang Tong go out. She urgently needs to learn human emotions to make Sang Tong's dreams more real.
By revisiting the past with Mu Rong, she has been able to transform into four people at the same time without any flaws, and finally stabilized Sang Tong's side, but Murong's world began to collapse.
Luo Ruyan couldn't understand Mu Rong's thoughts too much. In her cognition: Mu Haijun really deserved to die, but in the hug just now, she read Mu Rong's thoughts in front of the grave, and unexpectedly gave birth to "Save "The idea, enemies, bad guys, this kind of scum, why should we save them
Luo Ruyan gritted her teeth, Mu Rong's dream has begun to peel off, but now is not the time, she is waiting for the final negotiation!
Helpless, she had no choice but to concentrate and speed up the speed of Murong's dream.
…
Murong walked alone on the campus path, it was late autumn, and a thick layer of fallen leaves had accumulated under his feet.
She stared at the fallen leaves under her feet. Once upon a time, she and Sang Yu regarded these leaves as treasures, but those years have long since disappeared together.
She is a junior, and she will go to practice next year. This is her last time on this campus.
"Murong!"
Mu Rong raised his head and twitched the corners of his mouth. Sang Yu was interlocking fingers with a man of the opposite sex and walking towards him.
This man's name is Ding Lei, and he is Sang Yu's squad leader. He fell in love with Sang Yu at first sight during the military training. Sang Yu couldn't make up his mind and kept asking Murong for his opinion.
Mu Rong was always silent, and after a year and a half of delay, Sang Yu agreed to Ding Lei's pursuit.
According to Sang Yu's disclosure, Ding Lei plans to marry Sang Yu as soon as he graduates from university.
But Sang Yu didn't agree.
Ever since the two established a relationship, Mu Rong faded out of Sang Yu's world intentionally or unintentionally.
In fact, girlfriends and boyfriends can coexist completely, and Murong herself doesn't understand why she is so stubborn.
Seeing Murong, Sang Yu was very happy, let go of Ding Lei's hand, ran to Murong, and took Mu Rong's hand: "Where are you going?"
Murong gave Sang Yu a cold look, pulled his hand away, and asked, "Where are you going?"
Sang Yu was startled, and replied, "Ding Lei and I are going out for dinner, shall we go together?"
Murong turned his eyes away, and replied lightly: "I've eaten."
After speaking, he brushed shoulders with Sang Yu.
"Murong!"
Mu Rong didn't look back, but quickened his pace.
Behind them, Ding Lei and Sang Yu had exactly the same expressions on their faces, and the two merged into one, becoming Luo Ruyan.
Mu Rong closed her feelings, she can't learn anything, this is not what Luo Ruyan wants.
Suddenly, a trace of astonishment flashed in Luo Ruyan's eyes, and he disappeared in place.
She opened her eyes suddenly, and Sang Tong was standing by the bed staring at her.
"Tongtong? Are you going back to your room to sleep?" Su Sifang, who had changed from Luo Ruyan, stretched out his hand to pull Sangtong.
Sang Tong took a step back, avoiding Su Sifang's touch.
She stared into Su Sifang's eyes and asked with a smile, "How long have we been together?"
"Seven years, three months and five days." After answering, he felt a slip of the tongue, and said, "It's so late, go to sleep, don't you have to go to Sang Yu's daughter's birthday party tomorrow?"
Sang Tong was still smiling, and there was a little complexity in his gentle eyes: "How did you memorize the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra"?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Su Sifang's face: "I've been out of secular life for almost ten years, and I've almost forgotten about it."
