"Or...a place you want to go?"
Xue Sui asked calmly, but Yu Luoxi's heart suddenly sank.
The food in my mouth was as hard to swallow as chewing wax.
His eyes fell back on the table full of food in front of him.
This might be... the last supper!
His breathing stopped for a moment, and the hand holding the chopsticks tightened unconsciously, but he remained calm on the surface.
Yu Luoxi pretended to think and then asked, "What about you? Where is the place you most want to go or your favorite place here?"
"There's no place I want to go the most, but there's a place I like the most..." Xue Sui suddenly stood up and took Yu Luoxi's hand, "I'll take you there."
At this time close to midnight, two figures rushed out of the silent corridor and ran on the deserted street.
The summer wind brought a breath of warmth, and when it blew on Yu Luoxi's face, she felt inexplicably suffocated.
Looking at the figure running in front of her holding her hand tightly, her eyes turned slightly red by the warm wind.
But soon, he suppressed this sudden feeling of sadness.
Yu Luoxi thought of many places, but she didn't expect Xue Sui to bring her to a stream with clear water.
"Where... is this place?" There were only a few street lamps providing dim light around, and Yu Luoxi's depressed mood eased a little when she heard the sound of clear flowing water.
"It was my favorite stream to play in when I was a kid." Xue Sui looked up and smiled, "Want to go down and play?"
"Go down?!" Yu Luoxi was stunned for a few seconds, and then her eyes were quickly filled with joy. "Okay, but I can't swim."
Upon hearing that Yu Luoxi couldn't swim, Xue Sui not only didn't give up the idea of going into the water, but he pulled her down without hesitation.
It was a bit painful to step on the stones after taking off shoes, but when the water covered them, a cool feeling spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body, bringing a brief calm to Yu Luoxi's restless heart.
The further down you go, the more water there is and the fewer street lights there are.
"Why do you like it here?" Yu Luoxi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's quiet here, so few people come here." Xue Sui paused and said, "When I was little, there was nothing to do, so I ran here with my friends and stayed there all day. We were all beaten when we got home."
“When a person is upset, sitting on a rock, quietly listening to the sound of flowing water, and thinking about life is also a kind of enjoyment.”
Irritable, thinking about life...
Yu Luoxi looked at the person next to her through the dim light, as if at this moment she saw not the strong man who faced everything with a smile during the day, but a young man who was more mature than his peers and carried a heavy burden on his shoulders.
"Sometimes I miss the carefree days of my childhood, when I was so naively looking forward to growing up..."
The more Yu Luoxi listened, the more complicated her mood became.
The nervousness I had felt from the beginning surged up again.
But he didn't bring it up on his own initiative, as if he was someone waiting to be judged, feeling uneasy.
"Now that I've grown up, many things are beyond my control, and many choices are... forced upon me."
It may sound like you are just sighing about life, but in reality, you are giving yourself a vaccination in advance.
This unhurried tone gradually eroded Yu Luoxi's remaining rationality, and she finally couldn't help but tremble and said, "I won't leave here."
The young man beside him was shocked.
The depths of her eyes were unfathomable. After a long while, she raised her head. She spoke each word with difficulty, but without hesitation, "Auntie... go back."
“…Return to the original place and return to the original life.”
