Medieval European-style interior decoration, a huge crystal chandelier that occupies almost one-third of the roof hangs in the center, with a small main light bulb in the center as the base, spreading to the surroundings to form a perfect arc shape.

The tallest light bulbs are only a short distance from hitting the wooden sloping ceiling. There are many crystal chains that are brilliant and reflect golden brilliance wrapped around it, leaving only prosperity at a glance.

The luxurious atmosphere of the Palace of Versailles rushed over. As soon as the door was opened, the hungry faces of several people suddenly became solemn, and they almost change into the exaggerated dresses of the royal family, the high heels so high that they could step the ground a hole...oh, and the special Louis XIV Tasteful silk stockings. Ah, don't forget the exaggerated wigs with convex and concave strips that are exactly the same as those grown in the mountains of southwest China.

By the way, Yu Ruoling thinks that look is really ugly. Sure enough, the world of the royal family is not something that she, an ordinary commoner, can understand and discover.

Well, the topic is getting far.

A group of people sat down amidst the sound of astonishment and praise. After opening the menu, the prices they saw were unexpectedly friendly. It seemed that it was a restaurant with a cold face and a kind heart. Gu Rong'en held Yu Ruoling with her right hand and Lin Yinxiang with her left, and picked the quietest corner - in fact, a place that could form a special small window - and began to take out her mobile phone to take pictures frantically.

After being forced - the painful but happy kind - to take a lot of weird photos that are black history in this life and can't be shown to people at all, Yu Ruoling was finally saved by a glass of lemon sparkling water brought by the waiter.

Quickly escape from Gu Rong'en's clutches by using the reason of drinking water, she thought secretly. She didn't realize that her heart was slowly starting to become soft, and it was quite different to her before, like without the idea of ​​"be left somethings to be ridiculed".

"Rouly, have you ever drank this？"Fu Xiangqin sat directly opposite her, gently shaking the Bordeaux glass that was shining golden light in her hand.

The surface of the transparent liquid inside keeps rising tiny and delicate bubbles.

"Not yet, "She said honestly, "I don't have time, I don't have a chance, I'm afraid it will be really disgusting."

"Drink and see.”

Yu looks at Fu Xiangqin's shining eyes, then falling into a silent, then mustering up the courage to take a sip.

In an instant, it felt like a fine needle was flying around, and the stimulating feeling went straight to the brain, like drinking sugar-free liquid popping candy, but the taste was exactly the same as that of soda, which made her not so disturbed.

The expression is a bit complicated .jpg

"How is it？？"There was a smile hidden in Fu Xiangqin's voice, and she looked at her friend's tangled gaze of "it's hard to explain but it seems to be good, and want to do it again".

"Triple carbonated sugar-free Sprite."

Yu Ruoling thought for a long time, and then slowly came to such a conclusion. Who invented Sparkling Water？This big brother or sister... No, boss, the creativity of that boss should also be quite strong. However, it didn't surprise her that it was generally well received.

After all...after all, after drinking water for a long time, everyone had to change the method occasionally. Then it depends on who has more tricks, fresher, more creative, more refreshing, and more able to mix up, then can sleep in class and automatically escape the eyes of the teachers.（Just kidding）

Strips of pasta with creamy pesto sauce rolled up on a silver fork in hand. The special basil green sauce made by this restaurant has no strange "grass flavor".

Yu Ruoling expressed her satisfaction, and took another bite from Gu Rong'en's plate. There is an old truth that goes like this - "Everything that other people order looks better."

She thought so, and won her heart, so she just took a piece of french fries from Fu Xiangqin sat opposite of her, and without saying anything.

"Rouly, after this summer vacation, are you going to be promoted to the third grade of middle school or the first grade of senior high school？"

She paused, and said, "I'm promoted to the third grade of junior high school."Then she suppressed the inexplicable fear that suddenly hit her heart.

"Really？"Gu Rongen sighed, "Time flies so fast, you were just a grain of rice when you first came to the Youth."

Rice？！She looked at her height from the floor with complicated emotions...

Forget it, if talk too much, there will cry a lots, get out.

"I really didn't expect you are going to be promoted to high school next year."Gu said.

The bottom of her heart trembled strangely again, and even the hand holding the goblet trembled uncontrollably.

She hastily put the wine glass back to its original position, but such an action undoubtedly gave a look of "panic" in the eyes of keen eyes.

Lin Yinxiang, who was silently by the side, couldn't help looking at her, but the girl who was obviously absent-minded didn't notice his gaze. The whole thing was abnormal, he thought to himself, it was impossible for her sensitive and even suspicious vigilance to be unaware of his almost open eyes staring at her, but Yu Ruoling was holding a silver fork to restrain her trembling right hand.

It's really weird that she's allowed herself to make a public gaffe - even though the average person wouldn't see anything -

"Ling, "He called softly, "is it delicious？"

Immediately, the other two co-workers at this table opened their eyes indiscernibly, and then secretly smiled as if they understood something.

（Lin Yinxiang：...Not exactly.）

"Well, not bad."She cast a grateful look at him, forcing herself to return to normal. She have to think about it after the celebration banquet is over.

Yu Ruoling sighed secretly, and pressed the fear that chilled into her soul just now into the bottom of the box again. It's a pity that she and Fong Xuan have long been unable to communicate with each other when “she” is separated from her.

Unless Fong Xuan tries to convey important information to her through dreams, otherwise her life will be as if there has never been Fong in normal time.

She hasn't accepted what happened in the mind world for a long time, and just kept thinking about the matter of "senior high school"...

It's still annoying.

Why on earth could it make her so anxious and - oh, slang - that feeling of not being able to control her emotions and mental changes really sucks. Anxiety that cannot be restrained, panic that spreads in an instant...

Yu Ruoling unconsciously drank lemon soda water, and as the image clarity gradually increased at the bottom of the cup, the hand holding the stem of the cup also raised higher and higher, and then…then the water overflowed the cup, the whole glass that it dripped on the collar of her dark green short-sleeved blouse.

"！"

"Wow..., "Yuan Junfan just looked over, admiring expression, "Rouly, you are so sexy~ Look at the water marks on your clothes！It's really great！-"

"- Really freaking handsome！"

The entire row of tables against the wall was silent, and they all stopped to look at the passionate young man.

"Huh？What are you looking at me for？"

...

Shao Xu'an："Puff cough cough...！！"

Finally, that he just took a sip of Earl Gray honey tea sprayed on his clothes and pants.

*

"That's it."

The waist-length jet-black waterfall was randomly lifted, and all of them hung scatteredly on the back of the wooden chair.

After a long, not too long, but not short summer vacation, she seemed to be different. At least in terms of aura, it is already different.

...But it seems that no one can tell what's different, it's just a kind of intuition. Liu Muxi looked at her friend and forgot to answer for a moment.

"..."The atmosphere of odd quiet was slightly subtle, and Yu Ruoling broke out in cold sweat, "Muxi, why are you staring at me, I will be shy, stop."

"...What is that！"A trace of embarrassment suddenly flashed through those clear brown pupils, "I just think, Ling...you have changed."

Yu Ruoling raised one of her eyebrows suspiciously, and leaned forward, "Changed？Where has it changed？Don't worry, I still love you the same."

"Nooo！Don't imitate Chen Qian and the others！！"Liu Muxi flicked her forehead with one finger, and that bro opposite who always liked to tease others leaned back in the chair with an aggrieved expression.

Look！

Ling would absolutely not do this kind of action in the past two years！

"Okay, let's stop making trouble, tell me, where？"Yu asked.

Liu Muxi looked at her seriously, "Don't you think you have become more lively？I mean, the temperament part."

She stops for a moment, her thoughts suddenly stuck for a while.

This should be a word that can never appear on her, and can never be used to describe her. Lively？

Yu Ruoling really didn't think so, probably because they were old acquaintances. But in this way, even that person, or He Xiyun, a few years ago, never seemed to get her open-minded side like this. So when exactly does it start to get out of hand？

Can approach a peer, or even a class, without vigilance and suspicion.

Yu Ruoling suddenly found that she had "accepted" them, whether they were members of Class 10th in Year 3 or the Erling Gospel Church. But she actually uses the verb "accept" to refer to her social circle.

It should be that they to accept the alien in front of them, but the roles are reversed at now.

Yu Ruoling forced a faint smile, feeling tragically that the feeling of sadness, discomfort, and pain in the past seemed not bad. At least it gave her the mentality of "still real and alive", instead of the illusory feeling that seems to be divorced from reality like now.

Well, if she can still hear Fong Xuan's voice, she's afraid that she will be scolded miserable again by "her".

Liu Muxi looked at her friend still falling into the small window of herself, silently looked at the blueberry cheese bagel in hand -

- She originally wanted to share it with Ling during the last class in the afternoon, when Ling was most likely to get hungry...
