Chapter 24.

 * The gift he gave me was like shackles or a dog chain.

The safe passage where two people stood in the dark was cold and silent.

In fact, because Bai Xunyin couldn't speak and could only exchange information, when the two of them stayed together secretly in this 'secret base', they were very quiet, with only Yu Luoyin's soft laughter occasionally.

But at that time, there was also a sweet atmosphere floating in the silence, unlike now - the atmosphere was so stagnant that it was almost frozen, depressing and boring.

Yu Luoyin's narrow, clear phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment when she heard Bai Xunyin say the word 'bet', and then disappeared as if nothing had happened, leaving only indifference.

He looked carefully at the girl in front of him. She had a small and fair face, her brown eyes were shining with stubbornness, and her delicate and soft jawline was tightened.

It's dazzling and... it makes people feel funny. It turns out that she was angry because of this and broke up.

It turned out that she was not as indifferent as she appeared, but was still angry because of him.

Yu Luoyin did not feel guilty after being discovered. Her phoenix eyes were calm and the corners of her lips even curled up with a hint of pleasure: "So you knew? When?"

Bai Xunyin was stunned by his attitude. one time.

"Well, let me think about it, you started ignoring me on the day of the holiday. On the day of the holiday..." Yu Luoyin recalled it and suddenly realized: "Did you go to the back building of the school?"

Even though he had already thought of Yi Yu Even if Luo Yin knew the truth, his attitude and character would not change, but seeing that he was so indifferent, he still couldn't help but feel his blood welling up.

Bai Xunyin's already fair face became even paler.

"Is this why you want to break up?" The man looked at her pale appearance and smiled slowly: "I don't deny that there is this bet, and I got close to you because of this, but I didn't intend to let you know this. , I explained those joke bets to them, isn't it the same as our real relationship?"

Yu Luoyin didn't understand why Bai Xunyin was angry.

That day in the back teaching building, the reason why he said those words to Li Yuan and the others was because he didn't want to continue to develop with Bai Xunyin under the pretext of this 'bet' - but it didn't mean that he didn't want to continue to develop. .

Not only did he not want to, but Yu Luoyin wanted to make it clear to those few people, so that they could shut up, settle the bet, and then 'officially' date Bai Xunyin.

He wasn't worried that the three of them would tell anyone, but he just didn't want to continue with this excuse.

Because even though Yu Luoyin had a tough talk on his face, he actually felt a little awkward every time he and Bai Xunyin acted a little bit "out of bounds".

Every time he couldn't help but want to kiss her, Yu Luoyin would always think of that bet at an inappropriate time.

It was as if the unresolved matter of the bet was weighing on top of his head, like an unresolved knife.

Just like the evil nature of human beings, Yu Luoyin didn't want to show weakness in front of Bai Xunyin and show that he was wrong, but he was not completely justified.

He just stubbornly believed that if Bai Xunyin didn't know about it, he could just pretend that the bet didn't happen.

Yu Luoyin knew that she would still treat Bai Xunyin with the same attitude as her girlfriend, but she was stubborn and unwilling to admit her mistake.

It's just that the girl is not willing to accept this kind of apology that she occasionally feels guilty when she returns from a dream in the middle of the night.

Bai Xunyin only saw the coldness and aloofness of Yu Luoyin's appearance.

A joke bet, a real relationship... He really said it.

The fingers on Bai Xunyin's side clenched unconsciously, and the veins on the back of his fair hands were exposed.

Ever since Bai Hongsheng had an accident and became an 'incapacitated person', Bai Xunyin has been accustomed to restraining himself and not showing his emotions, whether they are happy, sad, or angry.

But that was because I had never met Yu Luoyin.

She simply couldn't figure out what she had done wrong to deserve this 'retribution' from Yu Luoyin.

He can actually be so confident about the things he has done and the stupid things he has said.

It was just a bet, she could just pretend it never happened if she didn't know about it... Bai Xunyin really felt that his heart was tightening and uncomfortable.

But this kind of discomfort seems to Yu Luoyin to be moaning for no reason, or even looking for trouble.

He didn't know what kind of mental state he was viewing him in, or even how he accepted him later.

It's ridiculous to think about it. During the previous period, Bai Xunyin once had an unrealistic fantasy that Yu Luoyin was her salvation.

Almost everyone's dream is to like her and take the initiative to pursue her. No matter how you look at it, it is her luck. It is a 'accident' that can only happen once in a lifetime. Even Bai Xunyin himself thinks so.

Yu Luoyin was so dazzling, just like a star falling and gathering dust around her. She didn't match her. Most people thought so.

But now, Bai Xunyin doesn't want this star anymore.

For Yu Luoyin, at first it was like a dream of great luck, but now the dark reality behind the surface is really revealed.

She doesn't want this 'blessing' anymore.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Xunyin let go of the numb hand he was holding, ignoring the roaring desolation in his heart, and looked at Yu Luoyin coldly.

Then without saying a word, he turned around and left. No matter how much you say, it's useless. Different ways don't work together.

"Bai Xunyin." Yu Luoyin's cool voice sounded from behind, low and clear, with obvious displeasure and a hint of warning: "I did not agree to break up."

Bai Xunyin stopped and his back stiffened.

Methodical footsteps gradually walked in, and Yu Luoyin's tall and thin figure stood in front of her, like a dark cloud.

"I didn't agree." Yu Luoyin repeated it again, looking down at the girl who was standing on his chest with her head bowed: "Do you understand?"

Bai Xunyin pushed him away unbearably, and used force on his hand, catching him off guard. Suddenly, Yu Luoyin staggered and hit the cold wall beside him.

She took advantage of this opportunity to push open the heavy iron door of the emergency passage and ran away with a clanking sound.

She couldn't understand what Yu Luoyin meant, and she really felt like she was broken.

It was obviously a bet, so why was he still clinging to a 'fake' relationship with her?

There was an uncontrollable buzzing in his head, as if millions of bees were circling and spinning. Bai Xunyin's fingers holding on to the railing of the corridor turned white unconsciously.

It wasn't until the class bell rang that she was forced to wake up temporarily and returned to the classroom with slightly chaotic steps.

Yu Luoyin had come back and was lazily leaning on the chair. When Bai Xunyin came back, he raised his eyes and stared at her unblinkingly.

The latter sensed the naked gaze and went back to her seat - she was inevitably a little absent-minded during the next class, but fortunately no teacher ever asked her questions.

No one ever...asks questions.

Bai Xunyin smiled bitterly, thinking about this after withdrawing from his manic and depressed mood, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Now that she has escaped from a sweet trap, she realizes how self-centered she was in the past.

She is disabled and mute. Except for Amo, everyone in the school, from students to teachers, dislikes her. Yu Luoyin is a spoiled child who is held in the palm of his hand. How could he really like her?

In fact, it’s my fault that I can’t see through it and think too highly of myself.

She thought she was the Bai Xunyin from before.

In the past, when Bai Hongsheng was still around, Bai Xunyin came from a wealthy family, was elegant and quiet, and was raised as the apple of his eye. He was not afraid of being liked by anyone.

From elementary school to junior high school, the word Bai Xunyin picked up the most was 'envy'.

Too many people envy her family, looks, and studies. Bai Xunyin doesn't have the temper of a young lady, and she always responds with kindness - but she didn't expect that happiness also has a shelf life and an upper limit. If it goes too far, it will disappear like a gust of wind. .

The accident in the third year of junior high school made Bai Xunyin no longer exist.

Now she is a disabled person.

No matter how good-looking a disabled person is, she is not as good as a healthy ordinary person. Now she has low self-esteem, is weak, and is unlovable.

If you have any illusions, you will only deserve to be played with.

So what Bai Xunyin said before was true to her heart. She would no longer believe Yu Luoyin. Even if the latter refused to break up with unknown intentions, she would no longer think it was love and reluctance.

Maybe Yu Luoyin was thinking of how to trick her, or maybe the eldest young master had never been rejected in person and couldn't save his face... In short, it couldn't be because of her.

Bai Xunyin kept repeating it silently in his heart, and his mind gradually calmed down.

Only when you truly don't care about a person, your thoughts will not fluctuate due to his every move or even a word.

She can do it.

What happened in the physical education class happened in the third period in the afternoon. There was no late self-study on the first day of class in the sixth grade. The school made a special arrangement and let the students get out of school after the afternoon class.

After finally getting to the end of school, Bai Xunyin felt like her back was almost numb from being stared at. When the bell rang, she picked up her schoolbag very quickly for the first time, pulled Amo and left.

"Eh? Why are you in such a hurry today?" The last class is a self-study class. Amo slept late last night and was sleepy all day today. Bai Xunyin pulled him away before he could even put his things away. stand up.

She didn't know why, and asked Bai Xunyin while yawning: "Is it because you have a dinner date with Mu Anping? Don't worry."

...

In this corner of their seats, except for the two of them, they were all Yu Luoyin's friends and followers. Yandu became strangely quiet.

In the silence, Bai Xunyin felt his scalp numb and glared at her hard.

Amo still had no idea that he had dropped a bombshell. He muttered as he packed his things and continued to 'break the news': "Okay, I'll pack up quickly. He seems to be waiting for us outside the school gate?"

Bai Xunyin Forcibly ignoring the two sword-like cold lights coming from Yu Luoyin behind him, he frowned and helped Amo pack his things. The two of them packed up quickly and left in a hurry.

Amo was almost dragged out by Bai Xunyin.

As soon as they left, Yu Luoyin stood up on the back. He didn't even clear the table, he picked up his schoolbag with a sullen face and was about to catch up.

"Brother Yu." A classmate who didn't know what he was talking about asked next to him: "Who is that Mu Anping? Why does Bai Xunyin want to have a dinner date with him?"

In fact, there are all friends who are close to Yu Luoyin who don't know. The relationship between Bai Xunyin and him.

Of course, everyone can tell that these two people seem to be at odds.

Yu Luoyin sneered: "How the hell did I know."

He rarely swore, and he was obviously angry. He ignored his classmates' astonishment and followed them directly.

From a distance, Yu Luoyin saw Bai Xunyin and Amo talking and laughing with Mu Anping outside the school gate. The latter's eyes were completely glued to Bai Xunyin, almost blindingly bright.

Yu Luoyin's fingers hanging by his side closed unconsciously.

"Eh? Brother Yu." Li Yuan and the others happened to come out of the next class. When they saw Yu Luoyin, they put their hands on his shoulders with a smile. However, they were shocked when they saw Yu Luoyin's expression - a feeling of "the rain is about to come." 'sense of danger.

"Uh." He asked hesitantly, "What's going on?"

Why did Yu Luoyin's expression look like he was about to get into a fight?

Yu Luoyin didn't answer, but stared at that place with a heavy gaze. When he saw Mu Anping taking the initiative to help the two girls get their schoolbags, his eyes were always staying on Bai Xunyin diligently. He really wanted to make people... Gouge out his eyes.

Li Yuan didn't get a response, so he followed his gaze in confusion and saw the scene of three people standing together outside the school gate.

"Huh?" Li Yuan scratched his head in confusion: "Isn't that the little mute? You didn't send her home today, who is that man?"

"I said before, don't call her the little mute again. "Yu Luoyin shook his hand away with a movement of his shoulders. His deep voice contained a warning, which made the cold man tremble all over.

He had told Li Yuan, Lu Ye and Zhou Xinsui before when they were in the back building that he did not intend to continue the bet and would not let them continue to call Bai Xunyin 'little mute', but obviously, this guy did not Take it to heart.

It seems that if you don’t give a warning, some people will never remember things.

"I forgot for a moment, I was wrong." Li Yuan heard that Yu Luoyin was really angry now, and his body trembled unnoticeably, and he apologized hurriedly: "Next time, I will be more serious." Stop shouting like that."

Yu Luoyin ignored them. After saying this, when Bai Xunyin and the others left, he followed them.

Li Yuan was left standing there, scratching his head in confusion.

That night, Yu Luoyin felt that he had done almost all the stupid things he would not do normally - he followed the three people like a pervert, squeezed into the bus with the three of them, and arrived at the square in the center of Linlan City. car, and then watched the three of them walk into a pizza shop.

I don’t know who chose the place because he didn’t know if Bai Xunyin liked pizza.

Thinking about it carefully, they actually didn't date a few times in the few months they were together. Most of them ate in the cafeteria. He didn't know what Bai Xunyin liked to eat.

As long as the three of them ate inside, Yu Luoyin stood under the tree outside the restaurant and waited. The only thing that kept him company was the cigarette butts on the ground beside his feet.

He doesn't like to smoke, at least he doesn't have a craving for it, but today he smoked a lot for the first time - amidst the smoke, his narrow black eyes stared at the window of the pizza shop.

Bai Xunyin and the three of them chose to sit by the window. The little girl happened to be next to the window, and her delicate and delicate profile could be clearly seen outside.

Under the warm yellow light, her every frown and smile were particularly dazzling.

During the meal, Yu Luoyin counted her laughing a dozen times, and the pear dimples at the corners of her lips were always looming.

Bai Xunyin was a person with very light emotions and anger. He clearly remembered that she didn't laugh so much when they were together, but... could she laugh at Mu Anping?

Yu Luoyin sneered, pulled out the cigarette from his lips, and extinguished the cigarette butt with his fingertips. He almost felt no pain.

Lin Lan's winter was wet and cold. He was only wearing a thin school uniform, but he couldn't feel the cold - it seemed that all the feeling in his body had been lost, leaving only anger.

It took a full hour and thirteen minutes for Bai Xunyin and Amomu Anping to finish their meal, and the sky was completely dark.

The three of them, wrapped in coats outside their school uniforms, walked out of the warm spring-like hotel into the dark winter night, and they all shivered from the cold.

"You guys find a place with leeward wind and wait a moment." Mu Anping saw Bai Xunyin's shoulders shaking slightly, and said as he ran hurriedly: "I'll take a taxi to the roadside first and then call you."

"Okay, okay! Amoreng's teeth chattered, and she trembled as she said, "Let's go back to the door for a while. When you get a taxi, send me a WeChat message."

She touched her pocket as she spoke, but her expression froze - -

"Fuck you." Amo was stunned for a long time, then he stomped his feet and quickly turned around and said to Bai Xunyin: "I left my mobile phone in the hotel, I have to go back to get it, Yinyin, just wait for me here. Two minutes!"

She said, turning back to get her phone in a hurry, her back looking furious.

Bai Xunyin smiled helplessly and stood obediently waiting for someone. However, before he could turn his head away, he felt a pain in his wrist.

She frowned in pain, turned around and saw Li Yu Luoyin with an expressionless face, and her heart suddenly thumped.

The latter pulled her into the dark without any explanation.

After being pulled and staggering for a few steps, Bai Xunyin came to his senses and immediately started struggling fiercely.

"Don't move." Yu Luoyin forcibly pulled her to the corner, pressed his long arms against the wall to trap her inside, and stared at the reluctant little girl with a heavy look: "Bai Xunyin, don't move. "

Bai Xunyin's slender fingertips unconsciously clasped the cold wall behind her, raised her face slightly, and looked at him coldly.

It's like asking: What do you want to do?

The girl's attitude was one of almost unabashed disgust.

It was in sharp contrast to the chatting and laughing with others in the restaurant just now.

Yu Luoyin laughed angrily, clenched the slender fingers on the side of her head into a fist, and said in a cold voice, "Is it because of him that you broke up?"

That Mu Anping, her childhood sweetheart.
