There is no cloud on the clear blue sky, only the dazzling sunlight fills the entire blue sky, making it impossible to open your eyes. Under the sunlight, in the quiet and stylish airport cafe, Lin Xi and Chen Yajing chose an inner seat and sat opposite each other.
There is a one-meter-high green potted plant wall beside the table. Several pots of Chlorophytum chinensis green leaves stretch upwards and then roll downwards, blocking the view here. On the other side of the table is a large floor-to-ceiling window. Through the clean glass, you can clearly see the trajectory of the plane.
Lin Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the coffee cup in his hand. The milky white sugar lumps hadn't completely melted, floating half up and down in the dark brown coffee. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
After a long time, Chen Yajing placed the white porcelain gilt cup on the tray and made a crisp sound.
"Lin Xi, are you and Uno... are you together?"
She wasn't surprised by the other party's sudden question, or in other words, when the other party asked to "have a chat", Lin Xi had already guessed the current scene. With his wrist hanging in the air, he looked up at Chen Yajing, showing a calm and indifferent smile: "Yes, sister Chen."
There is no need to hide it from Chen Yajing, after all, the other party is Uno's childhood sweetheart. What's more... There is still that level of relationship.
Hearing the young man's simple and natural admission, Chen Yajing was stunned. After a while, she came back to her senses. Fingers painted with light blue nail polish gripped the coffee cup tightly. The contrast between blue and white was very dazzling.
She sighed softly, and said, "Since you said that, it seems that you also know that I... once liked him."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi nodded calmly: "Yes."
A helpless smile appeared on Chen Yajing's lips. She shook her head and sighed: "I'm afraid you might think that I came to you to negotiate with you... or to ask you to leave Uno."
But Lin Xi pursed her lips, shook her head lightly, and said with a smile, "No, I know Sister Chen is not this kind of person, let alone do such boring things."
Feeling a pang in her throat, Chen Yajing was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses.
"You're right. Half a year ago, I might still feel extremely jealous and sad, but now..." Turning her head suddenly, looking at the vast sky outside the window, Chen Yajing smiled softly: "I've already Don't think so much anymore. No matter who it is, he can't be mine." There was a helpless sigh in that voice.
Lin Xi lowered his eyes slightly, but did not speak.
"However, Lin Xi, you still guessed a little wrong."
Hearing the other party's words suddenly, Lin Xi looked up at Chen Yajing in surprise. I don't know when, the latter's high bun was a little messy, and a strand of blue hair hung down the side of the face along the full forehead, adding a classic elegance.
"I'm still unwilling." Gently stroking the smooth cup wall with her fingers, Chen Yajing smiled lightly, mercilessly revealing her newly healed scar: "I'm not willing, why did I know him earlier? Me, but he never chose me."
Lin Xi narrowed his eyes, and said in a flat tone: "There is never a saying that things come first, first come first."
"Yes, that's right." With a chuckle, Chen Yajing shook her head with a smile: "So I'm just unwilling, but I can't be jealous. Besides, since you can make him happy, then that's enough for me."
"Sister Chen, the world is so big, why are you looking for this pile of cow dung to plug it in?"
"..."
"Pfft, you really are..." Chen Yajing finally couldn't help herself, covered her red lips and burst out laughing.
Lin Xi, on the other hand, picked up the coffee cup calmly and took a sip, tasted the slightly bitter taste, and frowned in disgust.
Fortunately, after putting the coffee on the tray, Chen Yajing folded her hands, resting her chin on the back of her hands, staring at Lin Xi opposite with a smile in her eyes. Looking at the bitter expression on the young man's face, she said amusedly: "Looking at Lin Xiaoqiu's frank and indifferent appearance, you, Sister Chen, and I are really going to be blinded. Since you have shown that you don't care about this... Cow dung, then I have something, I really want to tell you."
Chen Yajing's tone was very leisurely, with a hint of a smile on her face. In Lin Xi's ears, she thought she was going to say something trivial. Lin Xi nodded, and said helplessly: "Sister Chen, is it my fault? I will definitely use a gold box and a silver lock to secure this pile of cow dung when I go back."
Chen Yajing spread her hands indifferently, "Okay, you fasten it. But what I want to tell you next may make you very uncomfortable. But I think it's impossible to keep this kind of thing from you. It really existed, it's there, no matter how much you ignore it, it won't disappear. So... I want to tell you." After a pause, Chen Yajing showed a teasing smile again, "And you, Lin Xi, you now You have the right to choose. To know, or not to care."
Hearing this, Lin Xi suddenly understood the seriousness hidden in Chen Yajing's relaxed tone.
The smile on Qingya's face gradually disappeared, Lin Xi asked: "You called me here in the first place to talk about this?"
Chen Yajing admitted frankly: "Yes."
"About Uno?"
Chen Yajing smiled and nodded again: "That's right."
"Say it."
Suddenly hearing that the young man accepted it so calmly, Chen Yajing was stunned. She hesitated and widened her almond eyes, and after a while, she asked cautiously: "Do you really want to listen? Even if this matter... Well, I will be frank and lenient. What did you say about the 'right to know', 'I can't keep you in the dark' These are just some of the reasons, the other reason I want to tell you is because I am a little unwilling."
But seeing Lin Xi raised his eyebrows lightly, he said with a smile: "It seems that the matter is serious?"
Chen Yajing spread her hands: "At least I think Uno will use all means in his life to keep you from knowing about it."
"Then I need to know more." Lin Xi shook the cup in his hand, watching the dark brown liquid in the cup swaying slightly, "No matter what your purpose is, Sister Chen, I have to thank you for bringing me here today. Here, tell me these words. It is impossible to bury what has happened. I don’t know about it now. If I learn about what you are about to say under even less ideal conditions in the future, I think the consequences will be terrible. more serious."
Chen Yajing was taken aback when she heard the words, and after a while, she laughed at herself: "So...you already knew my purpose from the beginning."
Lin Xi did not deny it.
"Lin Xi, has anyone told you that you really possess a maturity that doesn't belong to your age."
"You are the first one, Sister Chen." After a pause, Lin Xi continued: "Tell me directly, Sister Chen. Check the time, Wang Fang is almost here."
"Uno once liked someone." Without any further delay, Chen Yajing suddenly put away the teasing expression on her face, and said solemnly, "I liked someone for ten years."
The elegant eyes widened suddenly, and although his face was still calm and calm, the fingers that deeply pinched the cup wall had already exposed Lin Xi's turbulent mood at this moment.
"I know, as soon as this sentence comes out, you will understand why I hesitated so much before." Chen Yajing let out a self-deprecating snort from her nasal cavity, and said frankly: "I think you know too, Lin Xi. Like a People are normal, but... Ten years, definitely not as simple as liking. There are not many ten years in a person's life, I think, this kind of relationship is not something that can be forgotten just by letting go."
The fingers that were already pinching the wall of the cup gradually tightened, because the force was too great, the coffee in the cup had shallow ripples, and the liquid kept vibrating. Lin Xi tried his best to calm down the shock in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Chen Yajing, and did not speak.
"You must now feel that I want to destroy the relationship between you. I admit that I haven't thought about it in my heart. But..." Chen Yajing sighed softly and said, "Forget it, no matter how much I say now, I won't talk about it." It’s impossible to clarify my intentions at all. Just take it as the jealousy of me as a small-minded ordinary woman, anyway, I’ll say this.”
Listening to Chen Yajing's words, Lin Xi's light amber eyes became deeper and deeper. After a long time, he suddenly shook his head and said, "I know, your most important reason is that you don't want me to be kept in the dark by Uno."
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Chen Yajing was shocked. After a while, she smiled slightly and asked, "Do you trust Sister Chen so much? I'm a small-minded person who can barely be regarded as your rival in love."
Lin Xi shook her head: "Although I haven't known you for a long time, I know you are not such a person."
Chen Yajing was at a loss for words for a while, seeing Lin Xi who was so frank and indifferent, what she originally wanted to say was also stuck in her throat, and she didn't know how to speak. After a moment of silence, she sighed leisurely and said, "Sure enough, Uno is lucky to be with you."
Lin Xi closed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Who is that person?"
The boulder that had been weighing on her heart was finally put down, and Chen Yajing raised her head and looked at Lin Xi with a chuckle. The bright sunshine painted a light golden layer on the elegant female face, and the smile was relieved and relieved.
"Qi Wenyuan."
"Click—" A crisp sound suddenly sounded in the small cubicle, and the coffee cup fell from Lin Xi's fingers and hit the white porcelain tray. A few spots of dark brown liquid splashed onto the clean tablecloth due to the collision, and immediately blurred out a few dark flowers, which were still gradually spreading.
Chen Yajing immediately took the tissue and handed it to Lin Xi, but she saw that the other party seemed to be out of her mind, staring at a certain place in the sky in shock, and did not take the tissue for a long time. She had no choice but to roughly wipe the splashed coffee on the hands of the clumsy young man herself. It was obvious that she was burned red because of the slightly higher temperature, but Lin Xi didn't seem to notice it.
Chen Yajing put the tissue paper aside, and said helplessly: "Lin Xiaoqiu, are you so surprised to know that it is King Qi? Well, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, the other party has passed away. He is the place in Uno's heart. It is important, and it can no longer be revived."
Although Lin Xi did not respond, Chen Yajing still explained on her own: "There is another reason why I dare to tell you that that person has passed away. Now, I can see that Uno attaches great importance to this matter." You, too... love you very much. Even if you are angry with him, it's only for a moment. Besides, with your heart, you shouldn't be so stingy, Lin Xiaoqiu?"
However, Lin Xi felt as if his whole body was being pressed into the water, and all the sounds were separated by a thick water curtain, making it impossible for him to hear clearly. Chen Yajing's three words kept playing back in his ears, without stopping for a long time.
As soon as he heard that name, he felt that all the faint anger and depression in his heart were swept away.
In front of his eyes flashed quickly under the dim yellow flickering street lamps, two pieces of overlapping yellow wood, shaking slightly. Every time they collide with each other, it seems to silently remind themselves of the deep affection that has always been contained in those deep and deep eyes.
The word "Uno" was deeply engraved on the wood chip. The blade was sharp and deep. It seemed to be scratched on the wood chip, but... every stroke was drawn on the man's heart, every stroke, deep and shallow, piercing There were drops of mottled and dazzling blood, which were finally branded into indelible scars.
Lin Xi didn't know when he left the coffee shop, and he didn't know when he got into Wang Fang's car. When he came back to his senses in a daze, he realized that he had returned to the villa in Blue Mountain. The house was pitch dark, and the lights were not turned on. Because we had to go out, the curtains were drawn tightly, so that even the bright moonlight could barely shine a little light.
But at this moment, Lin Xi didn't turn on the light.
He ran upstairs without even changing his shoes, his speed was so fast that he seemed like a dark shadow, and disappeared at the end of the stairs in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xi's footsteps didn't stop, he quickly walked through the corridor, passing by the exquisite glass garden, all the way up to the attic, but when his fingers touched the cold doorknob, he stopped suddenly. A trace of hesitation flashed in the light amber phoenix eyes, and then disappeared abruptly after only a moment.
The next moment, he pushed open the door forcefully.
The bright and clear moonlight shines into the house through the small window in the attic. The floor is covered with wooden boards that are so clean that there is no trace of dust. Only the moonlight pours down gently. The entire attic is empty and there is nothing.
Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment, and he immediately turned his head to look around, his eyes suddenly stopped on a half-person-high box in the corner.
Holding his breath, he walked lightly. Every step is very light, as if walking on the tip of someone's heart.
With a sound of "cracking—", the unlocked box was opened by Lin Xi. Gently lifted the white cloth covering the top layer of the box, and a triangular Bowen ed astronomical telescope appeared in Lin Xi's sight.
He was startled, and after a long time, he bent down and took out the noble and elegant silver-white telescope with trembling fingers, placed it directly under the small attic window, and quickly assembled it. But for a moment, under the moonlight, the beautifully lined fuselage glowed with a calm and cool light.
The delicate eyes trembled slightly, and there was no sound in the quiet attic, it was a suffocating silence.
It took an unknown amount of time before Lin Xi plucked up the courage, bent down to look into the eyepiece, and shook the silver-white fuselage tremblingly with her fingers. Suddenly turning to a certain angle and seeing a familiar yet unfamiliar scenery, the slender fingers stopped instantly.
In the next second, Lin Xi took a few steps back again and again, and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
His back was pressed against the cold wall, and he felt a burst of coolness on his back, but hot blood flowed from his heart, flowed through his chest, flowed through his fingertips, and flowed through every stiff place in his body.
Walking down the spiral staircase in a daze, Lin Xi sat on the small glass coffee table in a daze. He raised his hands and buried his face in it, and his broken hair got messy at some point.
In the darkness that was so silent that the air would freeze, the handsome young man curled up, his body trembling slightly.
Lin Xi's throat felt as dry as a fire, and it was as if tens of thousands of tons of boulders were weighing heavily on his heart, making him unable to breathe. In such a cold night, only the heat flowing from his heart kept warming his body all the time, making his eye sockets feel a little damp and hot.
Suddenly, a faint fragrance was smelled in the nose. Lin Xi was startled for a moment, he raised his head slightly, and turned to look aside.
I saw a delicate and charming white rose calmly inserted in the sapphire blue vase, which seemed to be replaced by someone every day. There was a tiny drop of water on the tip of the petal, blooming with shocking beauty.
Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Xi suddenly opened his eyes wide. He quickly took out the phone from his pocket, and kept pressing and sliding the screen until the photo instantly filled the entire screen, and then he stopped abruptly.
In the photo, he is a handsome and noble man.
Wearing a dark black middle-sized windbreaker, with a tall and straight figure and a handsome face, he is holding a large bouquet of white roses. Those dark and deep eyes were as calm as stagnant water, just hanging down lightly, looking at the black and white photo in front of the coffin. There was no trace of emotional fluctuations on his face, but he seemed to have died long ago, and even his heart was so hollow that it became numb.
Lin Xi counted the white flowers in the man's arms with trembling fingers.
1 flower, 2 flowers, 3 flowers, 4 flowers...
17 flowers.
Lin Xi let go of his hand suddenly, and the phone slipped from his fingers and fell on the soft carpet without making a sound. He covered up the sad and sad look on his face with one hand, and gradually tightened his fingers, completely covering the wet eye sockets. but can't stop-
A hot tear fell from between his fingers.
The flower language of seventeen white roses—
A hopeless and irreparable love.
The dry lips moved slowly, a self-deprecating and helpless smile appeared on Lin Xi's lips, and he murmured in a low voice:
"Uno..."
