One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Seven Concern (I)
They finally went from being the closest people to being complete strangers. Not even friends...
On the other side, Du Hui glanced unintentionally and saw her. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He stared at her for a long time, as if to confirm. In fact, since meeting her once in the mourning hall three years ago, he has never seen her again and her whereabouts are unknown. He originally thought that she was in country J now, but how could she appear in Lingfeng City?
Because Du Hui kept staring at her, everyone nearby looked at her. The senior sister quietly pulled Song Zhixing and whispered: "Xingxing, Xingxing! Bend over!"
Song Zhixing suddenly came back to his senses and slowly, dimly looked away from Tang Yu.
She leaned over again.
A group of people surrounded him and walked inside. As the footsteps became lighter and lighter, everyone else stood up, but she still maintained the same posture, dumbfounded.
"Xingxing, what's wrong with you?" The senior sister patted her on the shoulder, "You can get up now, everyone has gone away."
She straightened up, her dim eyes daring not to look at the back again. That person was already too far away and too unfamiliar to her.
They gradually became people from two worlds...
They once intersected, and then gradually separated, going in opposite directions, going further and further away. Far away, no more intersections...
"Xingxing, you seemed to be absent-minded just now. Could it be that you were distracted by seeing the man just now?" The senior sister joked with her with a smile.
Song Zhixing reluctantly pulled his lips, "I haven't eaten anything and I'm a little hypoglycemic, so I'm a little distracted. Senior sister, how long will we have to stand?"
The senior looked at the time and said, "It won't be long. Can you hold on a little longer?"
"...Okay." Song Zhixing responded softly and stood there, speechless. For a long time, my mind was hazy. I didn't know what I was thinking. My eyes fell on the continuous drizzle outside the hotel, and I just felt desolate.
The person she thought she would never see again, the person she wanted to see again so much, suddenly met her when she didn't expect it. Instead of crying with joy or embracing each other excitedly, there is only a deeper sense of loneliness and strangeness...

In the banquet hall.
Du Hui has been observing someone's emotions.
His appearance undoubtedly made the entire banquet hall excited. There were waves of people coming to toast. However, throughout the whole process, he was indifferent to everyone. The whole night, his face was expressionless, not even a smile.
Du Hui was not sure if this was because of Song Zhixing who had just appeared outside.
After all, he had never mentioned her in the past three years, not even once. Du Hui always thought that maybe the second master had completely forgotten her. People who love stubbornly are also quite decisive when they are ruthless.
When the banquet time was almost over, Tang Yu looked at the time and prepared to leave. They greeted Mr. Wang from Huanyu, who personally escorted them out of the banquet hall.
Before arriving at the hotel door, I saw that familiar figure standing in the distance. It was raining outside, making the night look even drier.
"Thank you, senior." It was still the familiar voice.
"Thank you, you deserve this. Look at it, 255." The girl she called senior handed her a few bills.
"Don't look at it." Song Zhixing stuffed the money into his schoolbag, holding the girl's hand with a satisfied look on his face, "When the rain stops in a while, I'll treat you to spicy hotpot!"
Malatang.
junk food.
"I won't eat. My boyfriend is still waiting for me."
"Okay then." Song Zhixing shrugged, "I won't delay your date."
"Are you still staying in the dormitory alone tonight?"
"Um."
"I'm not telling you, the dormitory is really unsafe. Something happened at the school next door."
"What happened?"
"Do you really want to listen? I'm afraid I'll scare you if I tell you."
"You told half of it."
"Isn't the school next door under construction? I heard that a female student who stayed in school was raped by workers on the construction site..."
Before the senior sister finished speaking, Song Zhixing also understood. She bit her lip, "Did you fall for that?"
"Um."
Song Zhixing shuddered. Living alone in an empty building, if you say you are not afraid, you must be lying.
"So, don't walk alone at night. I think you should just find a place to sleep for the night. It will be safer to go back to school at dawn tomorrow."
Song Zhixing considered it for a moment and shook his head, "It's better to forget it."
"Just find a guest house. Guest houses are not expensive."
Song Zhixing still shook his head, "I'm saving for tuition, so I better not waste it. Besides, staying for one night won't help. I have to stay for two months!"
…
Not too far but not too close, Tang Yu and Du Hui heard every word of their conversation.
Du Hui sighed with emotion: "I originally thought that the young lady was in country J, but I didn't expect... that her life would be so difficult."
In the past, when had she ever worried about money?
Tang Yu's expression was deep, and it was difficult to figure out what he was thinking at the moment. Finally, he walked to the door of the hotel.
He is so oppressive that it is difficult to ignore him as soon as he appears. Song Zhixing and his senior discovered his presence almost at the same time. The senior bowed slightly and greeted politely: "Mr. Tang."
Tang Yu nodded slightly in response.
Song Zhixing's mind was numb. After looking at him, she quickly turned away. After all, she was afraid that her eyes would easily reveal her surging emotions.
The second master did not say hello to the young lady, so Du Hui naturally did not dare to act rashly. He only said: "Second master, wait, we will drive over."
In fact, why do we need so many people to drive? It was just intentional to get rid of everyone else.
"Xingxing, the taxi is here, so I'm leaving too." The senior sister stopped the car and reminded her again, "Listen to me, don't go back to school tonight."
"Don't worry about your date, I know." Song Zhixing tried very hard to ignore the existence of the man next to her, pretending to be very natural, and waved to the other party, "Goodbye."
The senior sister finally got in the car and left.
At the entrance of the hotel, Song Zhixing and Tang Yu were the only two people left.
They were one meter apart. The whole world, except for the sound of the rain, was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy. Song Zhixing could even clearly hear her heartbeat like a drum.
She looked at him quietly from the side, and his cold profile as always made her both obsessed and sad. The hand hanging by her side clenched, loosened, and clenched again.
She thought countless times whether she should say hello to him.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she cleared her throat, and when she was about to speak, several cars drove over from far to near.
