Butterflies Fly Over Winter Chapter 30

Chapter 30 The moth chases the flame

It was like there was another side of her that was always looking forward to revenge.

Does it seem like there was a sign so early… Chu Yiqi thought mockingly, and then continued like an outsider, watching everything in the dream progress according to memory.In fact, she feels like she is more like a wandering soul who has been separated for a long time, looking for part of her own reality.

Xi Ai asked her: “What are you playing? Will the enemies meet?”

So the tone of many things is really set before everything starts, so everything that follows can only be based on this tone.

It was as if Xi Ai was the only one who approached her at that time and told her intentionally or unintentionally that she could choose the second path; only Xi Ai could know the effect Chu Yiqi wanted at that moment.

In other words, they would think of the same situation when they were in the whirlpool.

Xi Ai nodded and said: “But Chu Yiqi, a businessman pursues profit. Essentially, I am an egoist. What can I get from helping you? A future business rival?”

Chu Yiqi turned to look at her. There was no one here, so she asked bluntly: “Then what is your request, Miss Xi?”

Xi Ai looked at her, clasping her hands, with a section of rolan purple piled up at the end of her hair, which matched her skin tone very well.

After a while, Xi Ai finally smiled. She looked like someone who would ask for some tricky conditions, but she just said: “Simple, we will cooperate for the grass concert the day after tomorrow, but keep it secret in advance.”

Chu Yiqi said: “Okay, but the filming will start tomorrow.”

A word is settled.

Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi went back together, but they didn’t talk much after they went back.

It just seemed like there was a subtle chemical reaction in their relationship from this moment on.

The result of this reaction is destined to be entangled with each other and consistent with each other.

So the timeline shifted to the next day.

Xi Ai was originally standing opposite Chu Yiqi, chatting about tomorrow’s performance, but when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she saw a few familiar faces, so Xi Ai instantly stepped into the role.

She raised her eyes slightly, and her eyes became extremely cold.

“Don’t block the road, give way.”

Although it was just an aisle, there was obviously some distance to the side. Xi Ai did not say these words quietly, so Xi Ai was sure that the person who just turned the corner must have heard it.She couldn’t miss their expressions, so she had to stare at Chu Yiqi.

Chu Yiqi understood quickly, so he successfully caught the branch thrown by Xi Ai and said, “Can you…can you do me a favor?”

The smell of the fight was too strong, so the other people stood not far away watching the show, and Xi Ai had no choice but to continue acting. It was as if the director didn’t stop and there was no script, so she had to continue to act as she pleased.

“Why should I help you?” Xi Ai laughed, her meaning unclear, and then she said, “Do I look like someone who is very helpful?”

“But…” I don’t know whether it was because he was not good at writing lines or it was a deliberate effect. Chu Yiqi always spoke intermittently and tangled, and then he carefully observed the reaction halfway through speaking.Just like this, Xi Ai showed a little bit of impatience and she shut up.

What a perfect gesture of a weakling.

Xi Ai endured the inappropriate sense of absurdity and smile, and she said nonchalantly: “I just happened to hear it yesterday, and I was afraid that it would implicate me later. After all, we are competitors, and of course I would be happy to have one less person.”

Chu Yiqi seemed to be disappointed, lowered his head and said very softly: “Yes.”

Then Chu Yiqi turned sideways, and Xi Ai followed her gaze, and then as if she just noticed the person, she said with some annoyance: “Why is it you again?”

“We, that one, just came over to say go over there.”

Xi Ai didn’t comment, just chose a random direction and left.

Chu Yiqi stood there, raised his head for a while and exhaled, then went to Anila to report tomorrow’s grass concert.

This is not part of the formal assessment, it is just an activity set up to relax after a few days and to give some opportunities for adjustments and predictions before the official competition.It can basically be regarded as an entertainment project, and coincidentally, the organizer will also organize a stargazing event tomorrow night. It is said that if you are lucky, you can see shooting stars.

“You and Xi Ai?” Anila was surprised. She didn’t expect the plot of their friendship to progress so quickly.

She hoped that Chu Yiqi and Xi Ai would get in touch so that they could learn from each other and complement each other – one was less courageous and decisive, and the other was too confident and flamboyant.Although neither is a bad thing, it might be good for both of them to neutralize it.

At least, that wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Chu Yiqi nodded and said: “But we want to only announce my name first, so as to hide the surprise.”

Anila didn’t think twice about it. After all, she was a “white person” in the full sense of the word, and she wasn’t so calculating, so she readily agreed.

Chu Yiqi thanked him and walked out. He didn’t go far and met those people again.After the undercurrent of the confrontation, Chu Yi wanted to leave, but was blocked by one of them.

“Where are we going?”

“You don’t care.” Chu Yiqi looked at her lightly, as if he was disdainful.

“Do you really think that Xi Ai will be a good person?”

Chu Yiqi took half a step back, as if unintentionally, she took her hand out of her coat bag and just dropped the USB flash drive. She picked it up half a beat too slowly, so the USB flash drive fell into the tiger’s mouth – oh, it’s hard to tell who is the tiger.

She immediately panicked and said anxiously: “Give it back to me!”

“You want it?” The person in front of me smiled evilly and said, “You grab it. If you grab it, you insist on letting me use the song I made up for you.”

“You are so shameless.”

Chu Yiqi is not very good at acting with emotions. If Xi Ai had to come and see such a performance, then Xi Ai would have to say even if she exhausted her own cultivation: “It is the supreme truth to stay in your comfort zone.”

I take back the words I sighed in my heart when I first had a scene with Chu Yiqi, “It’s really your turn to act in this scene, don’t you have to have some strong traffic?”

You must be really blind to think this way.

But Xi Ai was not there, so it was a little easier for Chu Yiqi to hold on. At least he didn’t have to worry about the triggering mechanism of making him laugh just by looking at him.

The USB flash drive was new and only had one song written by Xi Ai. The original file was saved on Xi Ai’s computer.

When they were thinking of such a trick yesterday, Chu Yiqi said smoothly: “It’s really humane. They are also allowed to bring a computer and a USB flash drive, but they are not allowed to contact the outside world.”

“Of course, no one will contact the outside world at the risk of withdrawing from the competition in violation of regulations.” Xi Ai picked out the songs they had chosen for a long time and copied them.

Chu Yiqi said: “What if they don’t use it?”

“It’s not important.” If this thing is taken away, they will not use it.

Chu Yiqi understood somewhat. If they collided with Ge, then Xi Ai and she would be the victims in the quarrel. If there was no collision, as long as Chu Yiqi’s results were better than theirs, he would inevitably not try to drag her into trouble.

If you don’t have it, you still have to get it back.

“But why are they so sure that I don’t have a computer archive?” Then this pit is meaningless.

“Did you bring your computer?”

Chu Yiqi shook his head.

“Do they know?”

“You know.”

Xi Ai lowered her head, closed the computer, and said, “That’s right, just pretend to be a little more serious, and be more worried and panic.”

“I…” Chu Yiqi looked at Xi Ai, and hesitated for a moment before telling the truth, “I’m not from a major, how do you know if it looks like me or not?”

“Forget it, you were like this before, why don’t you forget that I was here and what happened between us?”

Chu Yiqi’s focus was completely different. She said, “Is this what the activity is for you?”

“…”

Xi Ai stopped talking, opened the door to the small balcony, walked back, put down the computer, threw the USB flash drive to Chu Yiqi, went to bed, and slept without saying a word.

Chu Yiqi didn’t know why, but she was a little anxious to pick up the USB flash drive, but as she stood there watching Xi Ai’s movements, she suddenly felt like laughing.

Why is it that the eldest lady is still a little bit obedient when she is not annoying?

Chu Yiqi remembered what Xi Ai said on the balcony where they were alone, so she continued to pretend, “I didn’t…”

The word “archive” circled around her lips, but she closed it as if she remembered not to expose it. She said, “Give it back to me quickly!”

But it was really troublesome to cover it up, so it was logical that Chu Yiqi would not be able to get the USB flash drive back.

“This belongs to me, and we won’t interfere with the river. How about it?”

Chu Yiqi stared at them, as if confirming the authenticity.

“Don’t mention it to anyone, otherwise…”

Chu Yiqi seemed to be finally sure, he nodded timidly and said, “Really?”

“How many songs are in it?”

“Three songs.”

“Make way quickly.” Chu Yiqi stepped away hesitantly and stared at them as they left, thoughtfully.

He is extremely insidious, like a hypocritical villain, who shows off his abilities when no one is around, but is very unfamiliar with the business.

Xi Ai didn’t know when she appeared behind Chu Yiqi, so Chu Yiqi almost tripped over herself while walking.

Chu Yiqi looked at the right shoulder where she was patted. No one was there, but Chu Yiqi had already smelled a little bit of mugwort, so she looked back to the left and said, “Xi Ai, are you okay?”

“Something’s wrong.”

“You’re fine.”

Xi Ai selectively skipped Chu Yiqi’s words and said, “How’s it going?”

“Maybe I believe it.” Chu Yiqi shrugged and took his own piece of toast from Xi Ai’s hand. Today’s was taro mashed mochi.

Xi Ai didn’t continue to ask. This was not a necessary set-up. They could make arrangements for the next step.

The two people walked into the practice room. There were only people in Group B in this classroom, and there was only Meng Yike in there at the moment. So the two people walked in side by side without being shy, and then chose two places far apart to practice basic skills by themselves.

This time the concert will only be about singing, so they don’t need to rehearse anything.During the day today, they composed a song. Xi Ai never filled in the song, and Chu Yiqi wrote an uncomposed lyric, which was just right.

As promised the next day, Anila only read Chu Yiqi’s name.

Chu Yiqi glanced at Xi Ai quietly, and Xi Ai said in a very low voice: “They are not on the list.”

“After hearing this kind of thing once, you have to know that it needs to be used in formal situations and big occasions.”

“Do you believe me so much?” Xi Ai responded with a smile, her eyes falling on the stage.

Chu Yiqi: “Actually, I just believe that I am not blind and my ears are not deaf.”

She glanced at Xi Ai and then opened a candy.

It was one that Xi Ai had given her before. For some reason, she had not eaten it, but she had kept it. Even if she changed her clothes, she would still stare at the glass candy wrapper lying on the table and put it back again.

But when she saw Xi Ai’s faint smile, she suddenly felt that she needed something to ease her mood.

Xi Ai looked so peaceful, like a coral bush, beautiful and weird.

In comparison, it seems that he is guilty of being a thief.

It’s strange, the person Chu Yiqi hated the most in the past was probably this kind of person, with a smooth life and a flamboyant and wanton personality. Even his name screamed that she was loved. It had always been that way, ever since she was born.

But now, Chu Yiqi inexplicably wanted to get closer.

Like a moth chasing a flame, even though it is a biological instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and should hate flames, it still pounces on it uncontrollably.

This is not right.

It’s not appropriate at all, and it shouldn’t be.

Chu Yiqi pursed his lips, and looked back stingily at the side of Xi Ai’s face.

But this scene is particularly different in the eyes of some people.The light and shadow fall exactly on a dividing line between the two people.

So Chu Yiqi’s eyes seemed to be asking for help, but he was unwilling to give up, envy, and finally fell to the bottom.

After a long time, Chu Yiqi stood up and patted the microphone gently.Then the music started, and she was a little far away from the microphone, and her voice was ethereal, as if she was through a window.

“hiss……”
