The afterglow of the setting sun in autumn and winter is southerly. During the process of gradually moving into the 23.5th parallel of south latitude, it adds a bit of sadness to the early and gradually darkening sky.

Just like on the road of life, there is a saying, -

- "From the moment of birth, we are all a train that goes directly to death without stops."

On her left shoulder was a specially made ochre-red side backpack, and her black hair fluttered wildly in the wind. The cold frosty wind from the west hit the skin, and the warm temperature suddenly dropped sharply. Fortunately, the wind was still mild, and there was no plot where the face suddenly turned black and the idol drama collapsed.

During the last worship band practice, she found some not-so-good problems. The short girl, who is still under 155 cm in height, is walking and eating a bag of fried chicken crackers and french fries, which was also a gift from Chen Qian.

Although she was thinking about something serious and sad, but her bulging cheeks on one side didn't look bold at all.

She found that Arise didn't seem to use her anymore, and even brought Fu Xiangqin along with her. The chief pianist of the entire group seemed to have become Huang Yinke, while she and Fu Xiangqin were left with only vice pianists or vice leading-singers at best.

And "with the extension of love" - Huang Yinke and Zheng Wenhuan are classmates in the same school, class, and department - the status of Zheng Wenhuan, who has just joined the band, has skyrocketed.

Some powerful veterans among them were pushed down at the bottom to do the work of "novice" - here refers to novices who are not familiar with any musical instrument.

For example, Li Zhaoyi, who was one of the leading-singer of the band at the beginning, now can only record videos and play slideshows off the stage, etc. And has almost become a little transparent in the band. Of course, compared to her sense of existence, it is already very high.

According to the current situation, she, Yu Ruoling, can basically be regarded as a dispensable tool man or slave. They used her when they needed her and discarded her when they didn't need her, no telling, no apology, no thanks, nothing.

She stopped at an intersection, and slightly raised her head to look at the signboard of Louisa Cafe opposite.

Today is Friday..., she thought, took out a rose metallic mobile phone from her pocket, and made a call to Yu Hong Axiu, expressing that she wanted to study in the coffee shop to prepare for the senior high school education examination next year.

Even though the actual action is only 30 percent of the purpose.

"In this case, the total is 3.6 dollars~"The counter clerk is a Dutch-Taiwanese with fairly standard Chinese. The deep, statue-like facial features make him just stand there - even wearing a work uniform - like a sacred and inviolable Nordic god against the sun...

Oh, what does her think, she is Christian…anyway, for a while, the brain-dead fans of Marvel have another attack.

"Okay."

Even though Yu Ruoling's tone was indifferent, she still showed a sweet smile. When she sees a handsome guy who works so hard, she have to repay him with a good attitude, right？

Holding a plate of Italian bacon cheese bricks and a cup of iced matcha latte, Yu finally felt better. Perhaps based on the experience of the past few years - nearly 10 years, actually - she has rarely spent more than an hour with more than five of her peers since then. Except every saturday night, and sometimes in the afterno...well, she's getting piss again.

As a member of their group emotionally, she took a bite of the brick with no expression on her face, and the salty and sweet taste of the cheese mixed with the roasted bacon filled her breath. When that person told her clearly "We are all one family" word by word with a unique baby voice, she shouldn't believe it easily again.

Now Shao Xu'an and that person had an inexplicable falling out secretly, then this her spiritual brother in name and identity was angry - and also be angered - and ran to another big church tens of kilometers away.

So it was really great, that person looked at her with a lot of strange things gradually based on her usual good relationship with Shao Xu'an. Did she mess with something dirty？...Wait a minute, so the situation in the band, those people who usually have a "good relationship" with her seem to have really suffered...

Will Jesus allow her to “take a time”？Thanks.

Fuck.

Yu Ruoling's anger level is soaring infinitely, and the temperature of the whole person's aura is dropping rapidly at a which can be felt physically.

During this time, please do not pat shoulders, do not touch head, do not feed, and do not make phone calls either.

She actually naively thought that there would be no small circles or any colored eyes in the fellowship...

Thinking about it, she is simply the biggest idiot in the world, fuck again. Reaching out so deeply, isn't that person afraid of being exposed once and then will vomit？She would rather disband the band immediately.

Who gave that person the guts to copy and paste the bull's-eye onto the heads of her friends？She always thought that the one who was purely being nice to them turned out to be kicking off a cliff when somebody has a violation of "personal rules".

What's this？Centralization？Feudalism？

Don't be so pethetic, Miss.

If the disappointment at the beginning was just an unreasonable entanglement, then Yu Ruoling's disappointment at this moment was to be deliberately imposed on that person until the tug-of-war was over.

...

"...I'm so fucking childish."After a while, Yu Ruoling finally lowered her head and pinched the bridge of her nose, sighing inexplicably.

After all, the youth has affected her too deeply, since when did she start acting affectionate？Even the character is used to being irritable, which is too bad.

"...Dummy？"

？？？

Listening to the familiar nickname, she slowly turned her stiff neck, and as expected, she saw He Xiyun, whom she hadn't seen for three years, standing behind her. As usual, the face has not changed at all, just like her.

"Long time no see. "Yu Ruoling smiled, and patted the seat beside her, "Please. Why are you here？"

"Come to study."

"What's wrong？"She saw the exhaustion and silence in He Xiyun's eyes.

"I can't hide it from you, isn't it？Do you still remember Chen Shengxuan？"

She was taken aback for a moment, nodded, and suddenly stared at He Xiyun closely, "Are you okay？"

"For a long time.”

Yu Ruoling remembered the day before last year when she went to dinner with Liu Muxi and He Xiyun. It turned out that something was wrong that day, but she never bothered to ask, and she never pay some attentions to He. How is this situation different from hers？

Alone, helpless, unable to speak, dare not speak.

But she is too busy, too uncertain.

And too unwilling for the truth might be a terrible shit.

Then…she totally deleted this emergency from brain. She eventually owes He a debt.

"It's now, right？"

"And still in a motivation to go to school."

That's well, Yu Ruoling thought. As long as don't want to die, everything is fine.

"Dummy, can I...go to church with you？"He Xiyun unconsciously drew on the table with her fingers, and her eyes focused on a point outside the window, "After the exam is over next year and everything over too, if I have time.”

"Okay."She agreed softly, originally wanted to reach out to rub He's head comfortingly, but instinctively retracted it. What He Xiyun needs most at the moment is the same as hers, but to be alone quietly, without thinking about anything, to enjoy a rare and short period of peace, and then to restrain all emotions again, pack up layers into a lived-dead human, and go face to face indifferently, the ugliness and cruelty of this real world. Quietly waiting to be abandoned before the phantoms of other tender lies are shattered.

"What about you？How are you doing？"He Xiyun asked.

"...Well, guess what？"Yu blinked playfully.

"Looks like it should be fine."

“Almost, it's just that not long after the junior high school started, I was entrusted by the class teacher with a task that no one wanted to take."

He Xiyun leaned back on the chair leisurely, blinking like her, "Could it be that you have been the head of the disciplines for three years？"

"No. "Yu Ruoling shook her head, stretched out an index finger with her right hand and poked her side cheek, "Do you know Su Hangyi？"

The face that was almost exactly the same as Yu's frowned, and a pair of peach-like eyes looked seriously at her friend who was still naughty, "Who doesn't know this evil spirit？I heard that not long after she came in, together with your neighbor class' another person, teached him to test a knife in the early morning. You saw it, right？I remember you told me that a 30 centimeter long knife, not known for what it was used for. Since then, no one in Zhonggang hasn't heard the name of 'Western Wind'.”

Yu smiled mysteriously, "You don't know, she has a very good relationship with me. The Western Wind calls me 'Grandmom' and I call her 'granddaughter', but Su Hangyi is not completely vicious. She is willing to listen to me. Like a word of persuasion, her progress has been very fast.”

"Persuasion？What are you persuading？Didn't Western Wind transfer to another school？"

Yu Ruoling shook her head again, and said, "Su Hangyi is coming back. She thinks that Zhonggang is still a little nostalgic, bu...maybe she just wants to be closer to home."She said thoughtfully think.

"Hmm..."He Xiyun sighed, and patted her friend's right shoulder, "Anyway, be careful."

"Yes sir. "She smiled flatteringly, and shifted the focus of the topic, "Shall we go to dinner together？"

"I thought you had already eaten？"The indifferent face showed doubts, and her eyes drifted slightly to the empty plates and glasses on the table.

No no, sis, she looked there also, how could afternoon tea be called dinner？This really can't calm down the excitement that she can finally have a holiday tomorrow, okay？Besides, if these are really going to count as dinner...

Yu Ruoling was expressionless, "Do you truly think I'm full？"

He Xiyun："..."
