In the candlelight, Xia Xiao saw Ah Zhu's tears falling on the ground. He should have said something, but words of comfort seemed too false, and it was unnecessary whether he was worthy or not. From the beginning, the relationship between a man and a woman was destined to let down the other. Therefore, Xia Xiao said nothing, and he would let down the other.

Picking up the small wine glass, Xia Xiao's eyes were deep, and he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Xia Xiao continued to gnaw the chicken feet as if nothing had happened, but he felt bad. It was not because of the Day and Night Mark that he had to reject Ah Zhu, but because he should not be so nice to Ah Zhu.

At the beginning, Xia Xiao had some reservations, so he was very cold to her, but this guy who was like the warm sun always flashed before his eyes. In the past three months, his strength has not improved much, but he has traveled to many places. In the end, he gained nothing and ended up like this.

Xia Xiao thought that he had nothing else to do recently and could have a good rest, but he didn't expect that this seemingly simple wish would be dashed again. At least today and tomorrow, he will not feel good. Ah Zhu is not bad, but unfortunately she fell in love with him, which is the biggest wrong decision she has made.

Some people are not worth giving extra feelings to, such as Xia Xiao now. He is bound by the Day and Night Mark and cannot leave Shangshan, otherwise he will lose his eyes. He will not give up his eyes, because Ah Zhu knows this, so he stood up.

Xia Xiao stared at the plate in front of him with a blank expression and dull eyes. But the chicken feet in it only left a reddish blush in his eyes, and the spicy taste in his mouth could not stimulate his nerves. He was stunned in place, and didn't even notice Ah Zhu getting up, but he could hear the latter's stomach growling.

Turning his head, Xia Xiao and Azhu looked at each other. The latter had a frustrated face and frowned slightly, but what worried her was not Xia Xiao's rejection of her, but her own performance. Azhu felt a little embarrassed. He had obviously come up with a countermeasure before coming, but the current reaction was not what she wanted.

Her stomach growled just now, and she felt a little embarrassed. Why was Xia Xiao looking at her? Ah Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then her stomach growled again.

Coo coo

The sound was not loud, but it made Ah Zhu frown even tighter. She looked down at her belly. It was really disappointing that it cried at this time. Looking up, Ah Zhu looked at Xia Xiao, and they looked at each other again. But this time, they couldn't hold on, and finally a puff broke the frozen air.

"Are you starving? Eat something quickly, it smells delicious."

"How can what I made not be delicious?"

Ah Zhu was furious and let out a breath, not wanting the rice ball in Xia Xiao's hand.

"I want to eat meat."

Ah Zhu sat down suddenly, gnawing on the chicken feet and biting the wild vegetable cakes, which contained pieces of bacon and smelled delicious.

As long as she eats, Ah Zhu feels much better. After a busy afternoon, Ah Zhu is starving, and the gradual feeling of fullness makes her feel a little happier. She suddenly understands that compared to something as ethereal as love, food can still satisfy her. But if there is, it must be made clear.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it for a moment, I didn't mean to do that."

When I cried earlier, Xia Xiao was silent, so I guess he felt bad, so Ah Zhu apologized. But Xia Xiao poured another glass of wine, handed it to Ah Zhu, and said:

"No problem. Cheers."

Ah Zhu drank slowly this time, and the burning sensation in his throat disappeared. Instead, he felt a warm current that went down his stomach and into his head. Once the window paper was broken, even the silence that was usually normal became awkward. Ah Zhu felt that he couldn't go back, but Xia Xiao suddenly said something out of the blue.

“Actually, this is pretty good.”

"We are less than lovers, but more than friends?"

"Hey, who taught you that?"

"Isn't it simple to say this? I'm so smart."

Ah Zhu gnawed the chicken claw until only the middle finger was left, and pointed it at Xia Xiao. Seeing this, the latter laughed and scolded:

"Don't you care about your image at all?"

"It's all lost long ago."

Ah Zhu swallowed the vegetable cake and sighed, like a sense of relief, but also like a sense of helplessness. She was not smart at all, but stupid. Even if Long Li heard it, she would still criticize her. She should have just laughed it off and appeared generous, but now that she was crying, she really couldn't understand what happened to her at that moment.

Ah Zhu may never experience that feeling again, that thing that he had been looking forward to for a long time suddenly went down the drain, and he was filled with loss.

"If you keep going like this, you'll be embarrassed all over again."

"Anyway, we're the only ones who know about this, so it's okay."

Xia Xiao tried to comfort her just now, but Ah Zhu placed the chopsticks neatly in the middle of the bowl and prepared to leave.

"You're going back?"

"How about staying here overnight?"

Ah Zhu imitated Xia Xiao's way of speaking and also showed some ruffian character, but Xia Xiao started to make dirty jokes.

"Sure, the four of us will sleep together tonight."

"Forget it, I still have to go back to eat."

The vegetable pancake and chicken feet she had just eaten were just enough to fill her stomach. Today's big head was in the cafeteria at the foot of the mountain. Regardless of whether she succeeded or not, Uncle and Doudou were waiting for her to come back.

"I'll take you down."

"No, the food will get cold soon."

"The vegetable pancake and rice ball were already hot, and you ate most of the vegetable pancake. I'll take a rice ball and let's go!"

"You fart, I only ate half of it."

Ah Zhu is not so rude, he will eat it all if he likes it. She didn't understand what Xia Xiao meant, but seeing her like this, Xia Xiao was happy. He murmured to himself that this was good, and then walked out of the town with Ah Zhu.

Xiao Ran stood on the roof of the Little White Building, graceful and elegant, with a temperament like the rising moon, pure and flawless. She watched Xia Xiao eating a rice ball while walking down the mountain with Ah Zhu, talking about something, wondering what they were talking about.

When they reached the mountain road, Xia Xiao finished chewing the rice ball and raised her arms. The flames from her palms became torches, lighting up the road. Ah Zhu had always been alone and had walked this road many times. She was brave and was not afraid. But when Xia Xiao came here, she became worried.

"Why don't you go back? If Shangshan finds you, there will be misunderstandings."

"I haven't done anything wrong. Besides, you have to know your position in the family."

"Come on, just tell me what's going on."

In fact, Xia Xiao really had no status to speak of. Shangshan had a worse temper than him, but was stronger than her. He begged Shangshan not to cause trouble every day. After sending Ah Zhu back to the canteen, he also strolled around the peach forest twice, but couldn't find her at all.

It was normal that Xia Xiao couldn't be found because she was hiding in a remote place. Apart from Xia Xiao, all the students in this class had never been here.

On the edge of the cliff, a small stream separates the peach forest and a peach tree. For many years, the lonely peach tree has only the soft green grass as its companion. The peach blossoms mixed in the green grass are its gifts. The woman next to the gift is the peach blossom's soulmate who has not seen it for a long time.

Everyone loves a sea of ​​flowers. A tree standing alone lacks some charm, so few people pay attention to it. But the woman under the tree has been sitting for a long time, and will stay there for even longer.

The woman sat on the lush green grass, resting her head on the tree, and looked at the sky. There was a bright moon above, and the stars were sparse, which also gave her some taste. The peach tree didn't know what she was waiting for, and she herself didn't know either. Her red eyes were as calm as water, with a tranquility that had never emerged.

Except for Shangshan, no one would stay in the peach forest so late. The foothills and the mountainside have their own rules. You can go anywhere during the day, but you have to go back to the dormitory at night. Under this rule, Shangshan was an exception, after all, it was approved by Hu Bugui.

As the night grew deeper and the moon became brighter, Shangshan sat up.

Peach forest is not only suitable for graceful women like Xiaoran, but also for people like Shangshan who casually cross their legs. The former is a quiet and elegant beauty, while the latter is casual, like a knight without a sword or knife, who rests here when tired and looks up at the sky, creating a lonely and quiet artistic conception.

In just one day, the relationship between Shangshan and Xia Xiao became much more complicated. She didn't know how to deal with it, so she thought of letting things take their own course. Letting things take their own course seemed like doing nothing, like escaping from the situation.

In fact, with the power of kindness, the day pattern on the body can be crushed, just stretch out your hand, it doesn't take much effort, and it won't affect Xia Xiao much, but he won't be able to use the day and night in the future. But the thought of Shu Shuang in her body, and the thoughts of Xia Xiao brought by the day pattern, made him unable to make up his mind for a long time.

By crushing the day pattern and tearing the Shu Shuang's mind apart, Shangshan can become a real individual. She longs for a life that is free and unfettered, where no one can control her or influence her. When she is a talisman array, she cannot move, and when she is a Pudao, she cannot decide where to go. Now that she has become a human being, she should be more carefree.

Shangshan suddenly decided to crush the day pattern and tear apart Shushuang's mind in her body. Although the latter would take some time, it was not as difficult as ascending to heaven. Shangshan would not follow Qingxunzi. After she finished touring the academy, she would leave here and wander around the world alone. She would walk between heaven and earth, and wander in the mountains, rivers, and seas.

The sudden reverie and lofty ambitions made Shangshan unprecedentedly excited. She was covered in the light of the moon and peach blossoms, blowing the breeze on the cliff, and imagining her future life in the dark night.

Shangshan would go to the bustling world, to the bustling markets, to the deserted streets and alleys, to the snow-capped mountains, to the grasslands, and to the sea. She had seen the peach forest, and the beautiful scenery there was remembered in her mind. But there were many scenes that she could not even imagine.

With such imagination, Shangshan became energetic and felt that she should go back and say goodbye to Xia Xiao. Maybe she would leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, the black and white town was shrouded in the faint moonlight. Xia Xiao pushed open a door. There was a smell of alcohol in the room, and there was a person. Xia Xiao was sitting on the sofa, and when he saw her come back, he made a hoarse and dry voice.

"Are you back?"

There was only a small candle left in the room. The light it emitted was extremely weak, but it always silently accompanied Xia Xiao.

"So you don't sleep?"

Xia Xiao did not tell Shangshan why he was sitting here, but just said lightly that he would sleep now. Shangshan wanted to say something, but Xia Xiao said he would say it tomorrow, but Shangshan wanted to say it now, and then immediately began to tear apart Shu Shuang's great project. But Xia Xiao lay on the sofa and soon began to snore.

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Shang Shan walked back to Xia Xiao's room and closed the door. As she was about to lie down, she thought about why she had to report to Xia Xiao before doing anything. We can talk tomorrow, but we can do it now. It's not impossible to do it first and report later.

Shangshan felt that she was leaning more and more towards Xia Xiao, but it was too ridiculous to have to get his consent for everything. Sitting cross-legged on Xia Xiao's bed, even though she had witnessed many scenes of Xia Xiao and Shushuang together, she was torn apart by this. As for the day pattern, she would talk about it tomorrow, so as not to wake Xia Xiao up and cause more trouble.
