Revolving Lantern

There was no expression on Lin Luo's face. Xu Yangyang was shouting Zhu Changyu's name frantically beside her, almost shattering her eardrums.

"The lead singer is so handsome! He's so sexy in a white shirt and playing the guitar!" The crazy little girl next to her said to her companions while dancing with joy.

Another girl said calmly, "That's all! He's still far behind my brother Xiang Yin."

"There's definitely something wrong with your eyes."

"You have a problem with your eyes."

The two started arguing, and when Lin Luo saw them watching, she asked her, "Sister, who do you think is better looking, this lead singer or Xiang Yin from TL7?"

She blurted out, "Of course it's Brother Xiang Yin."

The singing on the stage stopped, and Xu Yangyang happened to hear, "Do you know Xiang Yin?"

“I don’t know him!”

"Your brother Xingchuan knows he's going to be angry." Xu Yangyang quickly pulled Lin Luo to the backstage dressing room.

It was still that dark corridor, and there was light at the end.

"This is the backstage area. Non-performing artists are not allowed to enter." The staff stopped them at the door, and Lin Luo found that the two girls were following them.

"This is the wife of the lead singer of the band who just finished the performance. Can we come in? Big brother, please." Xu Yangyang blinked and said coquettishly.

"Wife," Lin Luo heard the discussion behind her, "that just now..."

The door was opened a crack, and she wanted to get in immediately, but her wrist was grabbed. She turned around and saw a girl looking at her with bright eyes, "Sister, can you help me give this letter to Brother Xiang Yin?"

The girl shook Lin Luo's arm, and she agreed: "Okay."

Entering the dressing room, it was completely different from the small room before. It was now very bright and spacious. In addition to Winter Time, there were also people from other bands there.

Fu Xingchuan was on the phone, Ruan Ye was messaging Zhu Sui'an, and when Qi Yao saw Xu Yangyang, he immediately looked in the mirror beside him and tidied his appearance.

But Xu Yangyang ran up to Zhu Changyu, whose head was sweaty and his makeup was smudged, and asked, "When did you come back?"

"Just this morning." He said while wiping the sweat off his face.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Xu Yangyang handed him a paper.

He took it and said casually: "Isn't this a surprise for you?"

Xu Yangyang smiled secretly, Qi Yao's face darkened, and he slammed the door and left.

Xu Yangyang didn't even look at him.

Zhu Changyu asked, "How is Snowflake doing recently? Will it forget me?"

"It's only been a few months, I wouldn't forget you." After she said that, she suddenly realized that even dogs can't forget, let alone people.

"You still sweat so much. Here, quench your thirst." She handed him a can of Coke and inadvertently took two steps back. Lin Luo knew that she had no good intentions. Sure enough, when Zhu Changyu opened the can, the Coke sprayed all over him.

She laughed out loud, and Zhu Changyu gritted his teeth, "Xu Yangyang! You did it on purpose!"

The noise was quite loud, attracting many people's attention. Fu Xingchuan also looked over. Lin Luo looked at him for a few seconds and quickly looked away.

When she saw the envelope in her hand, she remembered that she had something to do, so she ignored Xu Yangyang and Zhu Changyu's laughter and playfulness and walked inside.

She didn't know what Xiang Yin looked like, so she walked over and called out, "Is Mr. Xiang Yin... here?"

No one answered, but someone pointed to a silver-haired man sitting in the corner, wearing a sleeveless vest, earrings and a Cuban necklace.

"Xiang Yin"

He lifted his eyelids, looking at her with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His features were delicate and three-dimensional, and the mole under his right eyelid was a powerful weapon for bewitching people. What a handsome boy, Lin Luo sighed in her heart.

"This is something your fans asked me to give you." He took it calmly without any emotion and said "thank you" in a cold voice, as if he was on guard against something. But the moment he saw the signature on the letter, his expression changed again, and his eyes were full of affection.

Xu Yangyang approached, her pupils unconsciously dilated, a bright smile on her face, "Wow! So handsome! Looking at him this way, he's indeed better looking than Fu Xingchuan!"

Lin Luo nodded.

Turning her head, she saw Fu Xingchuan standing behind her. There was a dark look in his eyes. Lin Qi frowned and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Fu Xingchuan curled his lips and handed her an orange.

Xu Yangyang didn't see enough and wanted to take a photo with Xiang Yin. Xiang Yin agreed, "Xiaoxiao, take one too."

Lin Yu put the orange in her pocket and said, "Okay!"

She handed the phone to Fu Xingchuan, "Mr. Fu, please help me take a picture!"

He actually agreed, "Okay."

Lin Luo sat stiffly. The seemingly cold idol was actually quite good at pampering fans. He made heart and V signs with his hands, smiled cutely, and even patted her head.

Xu Yangyang was relaxed, but Lin Qiao shrank her neck and only breathed a sigh of relief after the filming was over.

Fu Xingchuan returned the phone with a smile. Lin Luo took a special look at it and thought the photo was pretty good. This guy must have changed his gender.

Zhu Changyu changed his clothes to get rid of the smell of cola on his body, peeled an orange and put it into his mouth.

"Does it look good?" Xu Yangyang showed him the photo they had taken together. He glanced at it and said, "That's about it!"

Xu Yangyang: "Are you blind?"

Zhu Changyu: "I'm just telling the truth."

As they approached the door, Xu Yangyang asked, "Where's Ruan Ye?"

Zhu Changyu followed her gaze and saw that Ruan Ye was no longer in the same position. "He went to pick up Sui'an after get off work."

"oh."

Zhu Changyu noticed two intertwined figures outside the window, a man and a woman, "Is that Brother Yao?"

Xu Yangyang took another look and said with certainty, "Who else could it be but him!"

There was a smell of cola in the air. Lin Luo felt a little thirsty, so she took out an orange. It was a small orange, but its surface was bright yellow.

Fu Xingchuan was looking at his phone, probably working. She listened to the conversation between Xu Yangyang and Zhu Changyu and stuffed a whole orange into her mouth.

So sour!

The bitter taste spread in her mouth, and Lin Luo subconsciously wanted to vomit. Fu Xingchuan suddenly put his hand to her mouth. Lin Luo was stunned for a few seconds, turned her head away and swallowed the orange. It was too sour, and her facial features twisted.

Fu Xingchuan raised the corners of his eyes slightly, smiling obviously, and touched her head with his hand.

Lin Luo glared at him and knocked his hand away.

"Do you want to go see the snowflakes?" Xu Yangyang asked Zhu Changyu.

"Okay! I want to show it a picture with its brother."

Xu Yangyang threw her to Fu Xingchuan and left. He said, "I'll take you home."

"No."

"Did you deliberately trick us here again?"

"yes."

"I heard from Zhu Changyu that you wanted to see our performance before, so I gathered everyone together again and sang for you."

"Do you like it?" he asked expectantly.

But Lin Qi's expression was stern, and he said seriously, "Fu Xingchuan, please don't waste your energy. We are not suitable. If you still love me, please let me go! Okay?"

She met his gaze and paused for a few minutes. Fu Xingchuan blinked his long eyelashes and promised her, "Okay."

"I have tried my best, and I hope you will be happy in the future."

"I will, and I wish you happiness too!"

After saying that, Lin Luo smiled faintly at him, turned and left.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't sad. Fu Xingchuan was a good man and the one she had liked for so many years.

But people's obsession is actually a projection of themselves. What you are obsessed with is not others, but yourself. She is very good at loving others, but she loves herself even more, more than anything else.

Back home, Lin Luo felt a slight pain in her chest. Was it because she was heartbroken? The room was stuffy after the rain, so she went to the balcony and opened the window.

I didn't notice that there was a paper airplane stuck in the gap of the glass, and it flew out with the wind.

*

A passerby accidentally stepped into a small puddle on the ground, and the originally clear water became turbid. Fu Xingchuan stared at the water surface, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He often wondered if he hadn't meddled in other people's affairs, would things be different now?

But if it happened again, he would still make the same choice.

He had indeed underestimated Lin Xiao. He had clearly called her brave, yet he had made her seem fragile and vulnerable. He had also overestimated himself, thinking he could hide everything, but he couldn't help but be attracted to her, revealing his true colors.

In the end, it was all his own fault.

He thought it through, made up for many regrets, and it was time to let go.

At night, Fu Xingchuan returned to the empty big house. When he renovated it a year ago, he specifically asked Xu Yangyang to make it look almost identical to the old house because he was trapped there.

Just like Tong Yun, he walked out of time.

He suddenly thought of the osmanthus trees in the old villa. If they were still there, the fragrance of the flowers would be the most fragrant!

"It smells so good! There is actually an osmanthus tree here." Zhu Sui'an was surprised to find out.

Fu Xingchuan passed by her silently without even looking at her. He had been like this for a year.

He packed his schedule to the brim, never having a spare minute, flying all over the world, either in meetings or on the way to discuss business. Second Uncle Fu, who had always urged him to focus on his career and shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the Fu family, was worried that his health wouldn't be able to cope, and advised him to balance work and rest.

But he wouldn't listen at all. Only when Zhu Sui'an used the excuses of being in a bad mood or feeling unwell could he get him to put down his work and take time out to go camping with her.

Xu Yangyang and Zhu Changyu were playing frisbee with Xuehua, and Ruan Ye was setting up a tent.

Fu Xingchuan set up his fishing rod and stared at the water motionlessly.

Zhu Sui'an was a little worried that he was depressed.

She walked over to sit next to him, and finally picked up the address, "Have you been in touch with the second sister-in-law recently?"

Second sister-in-law Fu Xingchuan looked at her in surprise and said, "Don't call Lin Luo like that anymore."

"It's a rare occasion for me to scream." She threw a stone into the water, and with a splash, it scared away the fish that was about to bite the hook. "Besides, you two haven't divorced yet, and she's still my second sister-in-law!"

Ripples appeared on the water surface, circle after circle, and Fu Xingchuan fell into memories.

A year ago, after agreeing to let go with Lin Luo, but before the divorce was officially completed, she suddenly resigned and left Nan'an.

I heard from Xu Yangyang that she found out that Wen Zenian had a crush on her for many years, so she went to Jinghe to find him.

It seems that he stayed there to work after leaving, and his relationship with Wen Zenian should have developed further, Fu Xingchuan guessed.

She seemed to have forgotten that there was still something she had to do with him. But since they had already agreed to let go, Fu Xingchuan didn't bother her anymore. It didn't matter if she remembered and needed to do it again.

Maybe this way he would be the first person to know that she was about to remarry.

He thought humbly, and the snowflakes cried out, and his heart skipped a beat.

I remember he was drinking with Zhu Changyu at Yanghuzhu last winter.

"Brother, stop writing. You have to write one every time you come to my place, and don't repeat it. Otherwise, customers will misunderstand that this wish wall is fake." Zhu Changyu snatched the pen and sticky note from his hand. On the paper was written: [Lin Luo, I miss you so much!]

Seeing Fu Xingchuan's blushing face and a dazed look in his eyes, he took advantage of his drunken state and boldly stuck a sticky note on Fu Xingchuan's forehead. "Why don't you just carry this with you every day? Everyone will know."

Fu Xingchuan took off the sticky note, held it in his hand, and said coldly: "I'm not drunk."

"oh."

A man with tattoos came in. Zhu Changyu couldn't help but take a closer look and asked him, "Does the tattoo hurt?"

"You want a tattoo"

"I'm just asking."

For him, "It would probably be very painful over a large area."

“No wonder…”

"No wonder what?"

"No wonder Lin Luo doesn't let you play with our Xuehua!"

His words woke Fu Xingchuan up from his dream. He remembered the rabbit tattoo on his abdominal muscle. He got it during the summer vacation of his freshman year. At that time, Lao Hu died and his soul remained in Nan'an. He couldn't get it back, so he accepted his fate and marked himself with a tattoo.

Dogs don't live long, and Lin Luo was afraid that he would be sad again.

He drank the wine in big gulps. Ever since he was almost kissed by a girl after drinking, he never drank too much again, but today he suddenly wanted to get drunk.

"Our snowflakes are so cute."

“Who wouldn’t like it?”

Zhu Changyu held the big black and white sesame-colored dog and stroked its fur. Fu Xingchuan stared at the dog's furry head, which was hard to see clearly. It was black and white, like a football.

A football rolled across the grass behind him, and Fu Xingchuan came back to his senses.

Over the past year, every time he heard the snowflakes chirping, every time he slept in his bed at home, every time he ate something that tasted like mango, every time he saw roses and gardenias, every time he went to Yanghuzhu and No. 1 Middle School, every time he watched a horror movie, whenever he had free time, he would think of Lin Luolai and then become distraught.

Sometimes when he saw a figure on the street that looked very much like her from behind, he would be led astray and walk two miles until he could see clearly that the face was not hers.

"Happy New Year!"

Xu Yangyang shouted loudly, and Fu Xingchuan saw Zhu Sui'an fainted on the grass, holding his chest.

"Do CPR." Fu Xingchuan tried to remain calm. Ruan Ye performed chest compressions on her. He said to Xu Yangyang and Zhu Changyu separately, "There's an AED in the car. Go get it."

"Call 120 quickly."

His voice trembled unconsciously.

"quick!"
