MTMIO Chapter 77

Chapter 77: You in Deep Autumn, Filling My Dreams.

After taking a shower, Lu You held the aching hand and used a hairdryer to blow-dry Yue Yunxi’s hair. The curly, long hair was half-dry and half-wet, falling smoothly in her hand.

“I think I understand what seaweed-like hair is.”

Yue Yunxi, who was busy ordering takeout on her phone, heard this and glanced at Lu You in the mirror, then lowered her long eyelashes and asked, “How often do you see hair like this in reality?”

What a strange question.

But people in love have the desire to expand and chat about any topic.

“I’ve seen a lot of natural curls, but curls that are so well-behaved…” Lu You thought for a moment and said, “The time I had hotpot with Li Can and the others, I mentioned someone, I don’t know if you remember.”

“I remember.” Yue Yunxi paused, her voice becoming meaningful, “I always remember.”

“Besides you,” Lu You combed her hair with her fingers, blowing it up and down with the hairdryer, searching her memory, “I think it was only the one I saw when I was a kid.”

“Speaking of childhood.” Yue Yunxi looked down, staring at the phone screen that had gone dark.

The clearly curved long hair, the expressionless facial contours, and the somewhat dull and gloomy feeling in the black screen gradually overlapped with a certain period of herself in her memory.

“When I was a child, I actually hated my curly hair. Because people always thought I had permed it, and they used that to judge me and my family, with some very bad words.”

Yue Yunxi’s voice was extremely calm, understated, as if she had forgotten the specific content of those bad words.

Lu You stopped the hand holding the hairdryer, the hot air continuously blowing on her hand holding the hair, like a burning brand.

–“Something raised by a mother but not taught.”

She thought of the words she had once heard.

Those vicious words were like quenched knives, the wounds they cut, even if they healed, were scars that could not be removed, shaped like eyes, always staring at you at a certain moment, taking you back to the past.

Only the perpetrators forget, forget their malicious acts.

Yue Yunxi didn’t give her time to offer comfort, and continued without stopping, “The most memorable thing was being stopped at the school gate by the teacher on the first day of school. That teacher insisted that my hair was permed, and wouldn’t listen to my explanation at all. He said some very harsh things to educate me in front of many people.

Maybe because he was a teacher, naturally suppressing me, I felt a lot of pressure. Or maybe, because he was the first person to say such nasty things to my face, and there were many people watching.

I really wanted to refute him, I was angry and wronged, but I felt like I was frozen in place. Until…”

Lu You slowly lowered her hand, her eyes flickering lightly, watching Yue Yunxi through the mirror that was clearing of the hot mist.

Watching her lower her eyes, stroking the edge of her phone case, her expression and voice were very calm, until she got to this point, her voice was broken off by emotion.

Lu You already knew what happened next, it was all in her vivid memory, her lips moved, but she still wanted to confirm with Yue Yunxi.

Yue Yunxi raised her head, meeting her gaze with a soft look, and spoke first, “Then, a little girl in a lower grade bravely stood up and spoke for me, even going to the principal to seek justice for me. I didn’t know her at all, she was the first stranger who made me feel warmth. So I always remember her.”

Lu You suddenly felt a sour sensation in her nose.

“I really wanted to say thank you to her, but the upper and lower grades were in different buildings, and I rarely saw her. Occasionally, I would see her, but because I was too shy, I hesitated and didn’t dare to go up. Later…”

Across a mirror, Yue Yunxi looked into her eyes, “Later, I went to the Tao family with my mother, and I met her again.”

Lu You unconsciously clenched the hairdryer in her hand, turning off the whirring sound, and asked in a hoarse voice, “And then, you still didn’t say thank you to me.”

Otherwise, we would have been familiar with each other long ago.

“Yes, because I found out that you didn’t remember me.” Yue Yunxi lowered her head and said, “The me at that time was very different from now, I was very awkward, very twisted. On the night I recognized you, I kept thinking, you don’t even remember me, which means you don’t care whether you get thanked by me or not, so why should I say thank you.”

How tsundere.

Lu You sighed and laughed speechlessly, that little smile disappeared in an instant, covered by another surging emotion, the corners of her eyes throbbing in pain, she pursed her lips tightly, the suppressed curve was the prelude to crying.

“Sometimes I also wonder, if I had recognized you back then, would anything have been different. I thought about it for a long time, and felt that there shouldn’t be any changes.

Because for you, helping people is just a small matter, your childhood friend Manman, Chen Feifei, many, many employees in Lost Deer, and some people I don’t know, they have similar experiences to me, and they haven’t developed into a romantic relationship with you.”

Yue Yunxi turned around, facing her, watching her,

“You equally sprinkle moonlight on every night walker, they are all very frank, only I have covered the light I caught… into greed, anger, and delusion.”

–You are the moonlight that shines upon me.

Not just a simple line of sweet talk on the bed.

The corners of Lu You’s eyes burned again, turning red, she stepped forward, took the initiative to wrap her arms around Yue Yunxi’s waist, and rested her forehead on her shoulder, “Why… do you like me?”

Just “like” is no longer enough to express this feeling.

It was too intense, like hot magma rising in her heart, Lu You felt it burning and expanding, almost to the point where she couldn’t bear it.

So carefully, she only asked about liking.

Yue Yunxi took the hairdryer from her hand, turned on a low heat, and helped her dry her still damp hair, “Which time are you referring to?”

Lu You closed her eyes, feeling the warmth welling up in her eyes, she remembered in the shower, Yue Yunxi’s charming voice teasing in her ear, asking her to say I like you again and again.

Yue Yunxi felt her slight trembling, knowing that it was from silent crying, she took a deep, long breath, and said softly, “If you want to know, how about I slowly share it with you later?”

Lu You’s nose was even more sore, her eyes opened wide, wanting to spread the accumulated tears into a thin mist, but she couldn’t stop them from falling down like broken strands of transparent glass beads, soaking a patch on her shoes.

“What’s wrong with you today, always making me cry.”

The sound of the hairdryer rang in her ears, and after who knows how long, Lu You caught Yue Yunxi’s voice.

“I want you to like me a little more, no matter what the reason.”

Calm, soft, without a trace of humility, like a dancing blue flame, with scorching heat inside.

Lu You couldn’t help but exclaim: “You really are…”

Truly a madman, an idea that popped up out of nowhere.

Without malice, she still couldn’t bear to say it.

ˉ

After dinner, she simply put on some makeup, changed into the clothes she would wear to go out, and slung her bag over her shoulder. Lu You took two oranges and went out with Yue Yunxi, who had taken the room card.

The Qing bar they were going to wasn’t far away. Yue Yunxi had ordered too much takeout, and Lu You was so full that she suggested walking there to digest.

Walking on the road, Yue Yunxi peeled an orange, and Lu You called her grandma.

The moment it connected, she caught a woman’s voice, seeming to be crying, questioning in tone, and saying: Why don’t you give it to her?

“Are there guests at home?” Lu You glanced sideways at the person beside her.

At Yue Yunxi’s house, did grandma have guests?

Yue Yunxi was also looking at her, her eyes calm and unruffled, appearing even deeper in the dim night of the road.

Lu You looked away, listening to her grandma explain on the phone with a pounding heartbeat: “No, I’m watching TV, it’s the sound from the TV.”

“Oh.” Lu You didn’t think too much, and reported her ranking today to her grandma.

In the past, when Lu You went out of town, she would call her grandma, and the two of them would chat for at least ten minutes.

But this time, her grandma was particularly absent-minded, and only chatted for a few words before eagerly ending the call.

Lu You clenched her phone, staring at the screen that had returned to the main interface, and couldn’t help but mutter, “What TV is so good?”

Yue Yunxi put her arm around her to avoid a lamppost, fed her a segment of orange, and lightly blinked her eyes, “Family ethics drama.”

Lu You: “…”

Reasonable, very reasonable, very much in line with the tastes of older people.

The phone screen still had an unread WeChat message notification, and with Yue Yunxi’s arm around her shoulder acting as her human guide, Lu You didn’t care about the road conditions, grabbed her phone, and tapped to take a look.

Yue Yunxi had sent her a video at some point.

It was a video of her playing the piano during the competition.

“I secretly recorded a section.” Yue Yunxi explained when she saw her looking at it, “Originally, I wanted to record it and let Feifei and them see it, but it wasn’t filmed well, the angle isn’t very good. But a good angle, non-professional equipment is not allowed to record video.”

The angle in the video was indeed not very good, you could only see her profile, and only the left half.

Zooming in on the video, you could vaguely see the scarlet, churning scar on her left pinky finger where she had removed her ring.

Affected by the severed finger, her other fingers were very busy, the difference was too big compared to her previous relaxed style.

But…

“I like this angle.” Lu You long-pressed the video and saved it, put away her phone, raised her left hand to her face, opened it, curled it up, “This is the first time I’ve used it like this to completely play a song.”

Yue Yunxi handed her an orange petal: “But it’s not the last time.”

Lu You smiled, put the orange into her mouth with her left hand, and in the mouth full of sweet and sour citrus flavor, heavily “mhm”-ed.

“Next time, are you still afraid of failure?” Yue Yunxi asked, like giving her a pre-emptive shot.

Lu You rolled her eyes: “Next time, will I still have Jiaojiao to accompany me?”

“As long as you want.”

“Then I’m not afraid.” Lu You said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter if I fail, the purpose of life is love and experience, not clearing levels.”

Yue Yunxi softly repeated, “Love and experience.”

That tone was very similar to when she wanted her to say she liked her.

Lu You instantly had many thoughts, the love and experience that today’s failure had brought.

An experience she had never had before.

The aroma of oranges and the fragrance of shower gel were very similar, so much so that the touch that had been gone from her hand for a long time seemed to flow back from her memory, following the blood.

“It should be almost here, let me check the navigation.” Yue Yunxi said.

Lu You was still lost in thought, she only heard her speak, and didn’t pay attention to the content, so in a daze, she crashed straight into the lamppost.

“Ouch!” She covered her forehead in pain.

Yue Yunxi quickly walked in front of her, pulled away her hand to check: “It’s a little red, it’s good you didn’t break the skin, what were you thinking, not looking at the road, I told you to wait a moment and you didn’t listen.”

Lu You felt the gentle force of Yue Yunxi’s fingertips rubbing her forehead, watching her frown nervously, her eyes full of worry, and couldn’t help but gulp.

“I was thinking… the moon is a soft candy with a flowing filling.”

Yue Yunxi’s hand stopped for a moment.

Lu You rarely felt Yue Yunxi’s shyness, she had a kind of smugness from having the upper hand, she shook her phone and asked: “Did you record all the love words for you?”

Yue Yunxi increased the force when she rubbed again.

Lu You: “…Plus I like you? I like you the most, the most?”

The feeling on her forehead disappeared directly, Yue Yunxi grabbed her wrist, pressed and lit her phone screen, “Password.”

“Girlfriend’s birthday.” Lu You remembered her teasing question about how many girlfriends she had in the car that day, she added, “Lu You’s girlfriend, Yue Yunxi’s birthday, you don’t not know it, do you?”

Yue Yunxi stopped for several seconds, the corners of her lips slightly curved, entered 1120, after unlocking, she tapped into WeChat, pressed the voice button, raised her eyes to look at Lu You.

Lu You said it sentence by sentence.

Speaking of the end, she was thinking about an obvious question.

–What would so many layers of “like” be in the end?

ˉ

Shen City is a place where every inch of land is precious, the Qing bar located in the alley is much smaller than Lost Deer, and the corners of the stage for the folk singer were equipped with piano, violin, suona and other instruments.

The store was playing an English song, she didn’t know the name, the tune was cheerful and relaxed, the lyrics were very sexual, a male perspective of sex, making people uncomfortable.

When entering, Lu You said softly to Yue Yunxi: “I seriously suspect that the person playing this song doesn’t understand the lyrics.”

Yue Yunxi chuckled: “Very likely, I used to have a roommate who would sing this song when she was in a very good mood, and then she was reminded by a foreign roommate that the lyrics weren’t very good. Do you want to remind them?”

Lu You looked at the place where the DJ was playing the song, where a man was sitting. She shook her head: “I’m not going.”

She turned her eyes to the piano on the stage, “I have other ways to make them change the song.”

The piano was of average quality, and hadn’t been well maintained, but it could be played.

There was a score on the piano, Lu You picked it up and looked at it, humming the melody softly according to the score, very familiar.

She had heard it, Leslie Cheung’s Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.

Lu You played a short section, not very smooth the first time. She sat on the piano stool, studied the fingering combinations, and played it through completely, with a little bit of stuttering and wrong notes.

Yue Yunxi was sitting at the table closest to the stage, supporting her forehead, watching her play the piano, and when the Qing bar stopped playing that sexy song, she silently hooked her lips.

The waiter brought up two bottles of wine, raised her chin towards the bar, saying that the boss sent them to them.

Yue Yunxi turned her head to look over, the female boss with a cigarette in her mouth nodded to her as she walked over.

Lu You was about to play for the third time when she caught sight of the female boss sitting across from Yue Yunxi, she was stunned for a moment, and lowered her hand.

The female boss smiled and asked Yue Yunxi: “Is the one on stage your friend?”

“Girlfriend.” Yue Yunxi said.

Lu You raised her eyebrows, she felt like she was filled with the melody that had been played twice.

“Wow.” The female boss asked her if she wanted to coordinate with her girlfriend to go on stage and warm up her voice.

Yue Yunxi smiled and said: “I am tone-deaf.”

Lu You lightly fluttered her eyelashes.

The female boss propped up her cheek, spat out a light white smoke, and put out the cigarette she had only taken a few puffs of in the ashtray on the table, and asked again: “Then do you mind if I play a song with your girlfriend, my throat itches, I want to sing.”

The polite arc hanging on Yue Yunxi’s lips faded a little, she pushed the ashtray in front of her, and said peacefully: “Please clean it up, also, I mind.”

The female boss casually picked up the ashtray and placed it on the neighboring table, and asked: “Sending wine is not okay either?”

“Got money.”

The female boss “tsk”ed, tapping the table with her fingers: “Rare sheet music replica?”

“Available online.”

Hearing this with her ears perked up, Lu You laughed, she said to the female boss: “How about you find an accompaniment to play, anyway, it’s just to sing a song, I’m still not very proficient.”

The female boss got up: “Okay.”

Lu You was too lazy to walk the stairs to go around, she jumped directly from the front of the stage and said: “That sheet music, can we take a look at it?”

The female boss: “…Okay.”

“Can we make a copy? We saw online that we can buy replicas.” Lu You went further.

The female boss: “…Can.”

“And this wine, thank you.”

“Didn’t you say you had money?”

“It doesn’t hurt to receive gifts.” Lu You said with a smile, she smiled so obediently and cleverly, it was difficult to refuse.

The one next to her, gentle and generous, was also impossible to refuse.

The female boss held her forehead: “…Forget it, for the sake of you being pleasing to the eye.”

Yue Yunxi poured wine into a glass, with a smile, she took a big sip of more than half a glass.

The shower room consumed too much of her energy, and it was also very hard on her voice, the wine tasted very refreshing, she couldn’t help but pour another glass.

The female boss took the sheet music replica over, seeing that she was about to drink the bottle of wine to the bottom, she leisurely reminded: “This wine has a high alcohol content, take it easy.”

Lu You also poured a glass to taste, the fruit and wine flavors blended just right.

She asked the female boss for the purchasing channel, and finally met a wall.

The boss resolutely refused her.

“How can you just fleece one person, if you do that, we’ll be put on her blacklist.” Yue Yunxi said.

Lu You used the female boss’s singing as a cover, leaned close to Yue Yunxi’s ear and said in a low voice: “Anyway, we won’t be coming a second time.”

Yue Yunxi had a mouthful of wine, after listening to her, she chuckled lowly, suddenly turning her head and passing all the wine to her.

Lu You swallowed, her heart jumping in a flurry.

The touch on her lips receded, Lu You raised her eyes, watching Yue Yunxi’s eyes were blurred, and asked softly: “Are you going to get drunk?”

Yue Yunxi turned her face away and said: “No.”

Her fingertip picked open the sheet music in front of her, as always.

Lu You stared at her again for a moment, feeling that she was overthinking, before moving her eyes to the sheet music.

In addition to the rare sheet music of the Philharmonic Orchestra, there was also the illustrated sheet music co-published by the illustrator and composer, turning the notes into all kinds of musicians, very interesting.

It was a pity that the printer in the store could only copy in black and white.

Lu You felt regret.

She also wanted to use this kind of sheet music to make a bouquet of sheet music flowers for Yue Yunxi.

Yue Yunxi supported her face with one hand, and held the glacier-patterned wine glass with the other, slowly shaking it, and smiled and said: “I have that kind of thing there too.”

Lu You’s eyes lit up, and quickly, dimmed again.

It would be pointless to use Yue Yunxi’s own sheet music to make flowers for her.

But in a flash, she thought again, she could use this to determine what sheet music Yue Yunxi had, record it to eliminate it, and then go online to buy the ones she didn’t have!

Lu You’s eyes blinked brighter and brighter, and she asked with a smile: “Where is your sheet music?”

Yue Yunxi propped her chin with both hands, the lights in the Qing bar that added to the atmosphere were a light yellow, falling in her eyes, setting off the way she looked at Lu You with an ambiguous and unclear hazy feeling.

“In… a… blue file folder.”

Blue file folder?

Lu You quickly thought of the day she went to Lanwan to move the piano, the file folder that Yue Yunxi held in her arms, that was the blue file folder.

Yue Yunxi suddenly turned around and climbed onto her shoulder, lightly rubbing her side neck and ears like a cat, her breath biting in her ear, “My sheet music… is all in there.”

That’s exactly what she wanted.

Lu You replied repeatedly: “Okay——Okay.”

In the gap between the pauses, Yue Yunxi was tormenting her ears, including the whole thing.

Yue Yunxi…

Lu You sucked in a breath, unable to make a sound.

She realized something, grabbed Yue Yunxi’s shoulders and pulled her away, swept her eyes over the two empty bottles of wine that she didn’t know when she had emptied, and said breathing finely: “You, you’re drunk, aren’t you.”

Yue Yunxi tilted her head blankly, but the way she looked at her was clearer than before: “No.”

Lu You tilted her head in the opposite direction, her sight just able to fall on the empty wine bottles, she looked at the wine bottles, and then met Yue Yunxi’s innocent big eyes, her eyebrows and eyes curved, “You’re not drunk my ass.”

After paying the boss the money for the rare sheet music, Lu You took Yue Yunxi out of the Qing bar and back to the hotel.

The street lamps stretched for an entire street, the faint yellow spread on the cement floor, pulling the shadows very long, very long.

Although drunk, Yue Yunxi walked fairly steadily, not staggering, just unable to walk in a straight line.

Lu You only needed to support her slightly.

That was how it was supposed to be.

Until Lu You’s phone suddenly rang with electronic music, a WeChat voice call, the caller ID was “Mop”, Tao Xin’s former bandmate.

The last time the two had contacted was on the day when the stalker came to splash hot water, Mop came to ask her about the cheongsam, she stopped in place and didn’t go to the garage in order to reply to the message.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been hot water splashing on her ankle.

It could be considered an indirect rescue.

Lu You pressed to answer.

Mop said to her: “Yoyo, thank you, the cheongsam you recommended to me last time was really too good-looking. I’m turning thirty the day after tomorrow, and I want to hold a birthday banquet, a villa rave, is it convenient for you to come and play?”

Lu You supported Yue Yunxi, who was leaning over to listen, and didn’t speak for a moment.

Over there, she pleaded: “Come on, come on.”

Yue Yunxi mimicked in her ear: “Come on, come on.”

Lu You: “…”

Come on what come on.

“These villa raves are only fun with a lot of people, I’m so afraid of inviting a large circle, and not many people coming, it would be so embarrassing.” Mop continued her efforts.

Yue Yunxi picked the key points to learn: “I’m so afraid…”

Lu You: “…”

What are you afraid of!

Lu You quickly agreed, ended this difficult phone call, and was about to support Yue Yunxi to continue walking.

The phone in Yue Yunxi’s bag rang again.

Lu You took it out to look, and deeply closed her eyes.

It was still Mop.

Yue Yunxi asked her: “Who is Broom?”

“It’s Mop.” Lu You hung up the phone, and unlocked it by identifying Yue Yunxi’s face with the phone, replying to Mop, pretending to ask her what was the matter.

“What does Mop want me to do? Mop the floor?” Yue Yunxi leaned her head against hers to watch her type, “I don’t want to mop the floor.”

Lu You smiled so hard that she couldn’t type well, “She’s inviting you to her birthday banquet.”

“Oh, are you going?”

“Yes.”

“What about me?”

“You’re going too.” Lu You painstakingly replied to Mop with one hand, turned her head and kissed Yue Yunxi, “Go with your girlfriend.”

Yue Yunxi obediently nodded, and softly murmured: “Girlfriend.”

Lu You “mhm”-ed, put her phone back in her bag.

Yue Yunxi poked her phone and said: “You can’t bring your phone to class. Unless you are going to…”

“What?”

“To record the teacher’s class.” Yue Yunxi let go of her, and walked backwards towards her, “Then you record now.”

Lu You blinked her eyelashes, and helplessly cooperated with her: “…Okay, Teacher Yue.”

Lu You picked up her phone, turned on the video, and recorded Yue Yunxi, imagining taking the video to Yue Yunxi tomorrow, and letting her take a good look at herself in the video.

It was interesting to think about.

“What are you laughing at? Did you record?” Yue Yunxi was very serious.

Lu You cleared her throat: “Recording.”

“How come there’s no background music?”

“How come you need background music?” Lu You met Yue Yunxi’s dissatisfied gaze, and quickly, “Okay, okay, Teacher Yue, what background music do you want?”

“Just now, that song there.” Yue Yunxi pointed to the direction of the Qing bar, “That song sounds good.”

Lu You found the song in the music app.

Leslie Cheung’s Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, the soothing melody paired with Leslie’s gentle voice, was like slowly telling a cavity of deep feelings.

Yue Yunxi turned around again, and walked forward on the tactile paving stones, “Classmate Lu Youyou.”

“Eh, teacher, I’m here.” Lu You said with a smile.

“Where are you?”

“Behind you.”

The song sang “Autumn should be very good, if you were still here, even the autumn breeze would be beautiful.”

Yue Yunxi looked back at her, and a fallen leaf that mistakenly entered the camera seemed gentle in the singing and in that gaze.

“You in deep autumn, filling my dreams.”

Yue Yunxi sang along.

Not many words were on key, she didn’t know if it was because she was drunk, or if she was really tone-deaf.

Lu You held back her laughter.

Then, she gradually couldn’t laugh.

Yue Yunxi walked very slowly, and spoke very slowly, “Do you know, this kind of long street, has appeared in my dreams countless times.”

She had no rules, she said whatever she thought of, the content she said was all messed up.

Lu You listened, her heartbeat was also messed up.

“An unexpected heartthrob, from the beginning, was irreversible. I know, I know…”

“Every happy moment, I will subconsciously think of you. Do you know my WeChat Moments? All of them are competition reposts and event reposts, do you know why? Because you will reply to me, you will light up a heart on it.”

“The unhappiest time for me is the love triangle.”

Yue Yunxi stopped, looked at her, her eyes had a thin layer of mist.

“Don’t just look at her, look at me too.”

Lu You’s breathing stagnated.

“It’s not, it’s not the unhappiest time either.”

“I should be used to giving everything to her, I should be used to losing.”

“But, I’m so unwilling, have you ever had that feeling? Like a poisoned needle coated with arsenic, quietly stabbing into the body, by the time you realize it, it’s already terminally ill, beyond salvation.”

“I want to tell you, I think, I can also snatch. Why have such a strong sense of morality, why be a good person, what can a good person get?”

“I’m not a good person.”

“But, if others like you, I can snatch, but if you fall in love with someone else, what am I going to do?”

“I’ve seen you at your best, and I’ve seen you at your worst, I’m so sorry, so sorry that the first time you broke, the one who carefully pieced you together wasn’t me.”

“You, are the vague dividing line between hopeless waiting and unwavering belief.”

Yue Yunxi closed her eyes, stroking the position of her heart, saying this sentence, like some kind of devout self-hypnosis.

But this seemed to be a failed hypnosis, so that she painfully squatted down, her slender hands trembling and covering her face.

Lu You opened her mouth, drawing in the oxygen in the air.

But it didn’t alleviate the pain in her chest at all.

Walking in front of Yue Yunxi, Lu You squatted down, the hand stroking her hair was trembling, and her voice was also trembling, “Other people are so cute when they are drunk, how come you…”

“So pitiful, right?” Yue Yunxi covered her face, her voice was muffled and damp in her palm.

Lu You said: “It’s not pitiful, it’s too much, I’ve given you all my tears this afternoon.”

“Then that’s great.”

The voice flowing out from between her fingers had a kind of quiet madness.

“What’s so great… really.” Lu You pulled her up, “Don’t have your legs go numb again, let me carry you back.”

“Can you carry me?” Yue Yunxi pretended to take off her clothes, “Let me lighten your burden.”

“My ancestor, be quiet.” Lu You hurriedly stopped her, tightened her coat, “Don’t underestimate me, I’ve been practicing for so long.”

Lu You stood on the step and bent over to carry her.

Yue Yunxi leaned on her back and said: “Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using them for a moment.”

Lu You: “…”

The moon in the distance, was yellow, fluffy, cute and beautiful.

The song Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter was still playing on the phone.

In her ear, Yue Yunxi sang another song:

“You are the moonlight above me, the irresistible throbbing, the unstoppable delusion.”

The same melody as Eating Wild, with slightly different lyrics.

Yue Yunxi’s eyes became clearer and clearer, her cheek stuck to Lu You’s neck, hugging her tightly, and her tone softened: “…Is mine.”

It seemed to be saying “You are mine.”

It also seemed to be saying, the song she was singing, was mine.

Lu You’s heart froze, her steps stopped.

Suddenly she heard Yue Yunxi ask her: “Did you record?”

Lu You only came back to her senses, “Mhm”-ed, with a doting tone: “I recorded it, I hope you don’t regret it when you watch it tomorrow.”

Yue Yunxi closed her eyes: “I won’t regret it.”

That clear and firm voice, as if the alcohol had worn off.

But when Lu You wanted to speak, the breathing in her ear had already become long and even.
