Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

Chapter 126 Entertainment Circle: Black Moonlight Training Manual 41

At this moment, it seemed as if the years were colliding, and those green years were overlapping. He stood in the corridor, with the eternal breeze and bright moon, smiling at the girl he liked.

His skin was very white, like the snow on the mountains at dusk, so pale that there was not a trace of human life. He just stared at Chang Qing quietly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Perhaps because he has become a vegetable, apart from growing taller, his appearance has not changed much compared to a few years ago, and there is still a bit of immaturity between his brows.

Chang Qing looked at him: "Long time no see, Xu Miao."

Xu Miao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he hummed softly, his pale fingers resting on the book. Before he saw her, he clearly had a thousand words to say, such as telling her that he had been there that day, or continuing the confession he made a few years ago. But the moment he saw her, his brain buzzed and he couldn't say anything.

"Well, long time no see, you've changed a lot."

He could only rack his brains to say these few words, but he felt that his words really didn't make much sense. They hadn't seen each other for several years, so how could he expect people to always be the same as before.

There was an unawkward silence between the two.

Chang Qing smiled gently and said casually: "It has changed a lot. You know, the entertainment industry is quite complicated. After leaving school, I realized that many things are not what I thought when I was young."

A trace of bitterness filled Xu Miao's heart as he watched her smile flow from the corners of her eyes and between her brows. Her slender, thick eyelashes cast afterimages in the sunlight, revealing a fragmented yet lingering gentleness. The girl's appearance made Xu Miao feel that this person probably didn't care about being alive or dead.

The young man's voice was accompanied by the lingering sound of cicadas, and he said softly: "Lu Sheng, live well, and don't do anything to hurt yourself. People who care about you will feel distressed. Don't make your enemies happy and your loved ones sad."

"I'm sorry for the hurt my brother has caused you. I blame myself because I made you innocently implicated and the target of his anger. After I woke up, I wanted to see you, but I was also afraid to see you. I even felt ashamed to see you. I know that a verbal apology is too light and is far from enough to hurt you."

Xu Miao sighed softly. This was something that could not be overcome between him and this man.

In a sense, he owed her a life. He felt empty and helpless inside, and did not dare to ask for the girl's forgiveness at all. But Lu Yunzhou was his brother, the relative who almost lost his life several times to protect him.

He still liked her, but he didn't dare to pursue her anymore, because he knew very well that he couldn't give up his brother who had been so kind to him. He couldn't let her compromise to accommodate him, swallow all the pain and pretend nothing had happened.

So he just wanted to love silently.

Chang Qing nodded. She could understand Xu Miao, but that was just understanding. As for having a relationship with Lu Yunzhou that was like friends, or anything beyond strangers, that was impossible.

The two chatted for a while. There were no conflicts or unhappiness, but there was an unbridgeable distance between them, as if they were in a different season on this hot summer day with a little wind and snow.

After Chang Qing left, Xu Miao looked at the book on his lap and felt that each word was particularly strange, varied, and yet seemed very familiar. He could recognize them when put together, but when he looked closely, he felt that they were all typos.

Lu Yunzhou walked out slowly and whispered, "Xiao Miao, you don't have to give up the girl you like because of me. She is a good girl. My mistake cannot be blamed on you."

"Brother, you don't understand. She doesn't like me anymore."

Lu Yunzhou wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Xu Miao. The young man raised his head and said word by word: "Brother, I know what you want to say. Promise me that you will not become like your father. If you still recognize me as your brother, don't impose your own thoughts on her and cause her any harm."

"Brother, if something happens to her because of you again, I will probably..." Xu Miao took a breath, his eyes slightly red: "I really don't know what I will do, but I know that I might go crazy. You will never know what it feels like to wake up one day and find that what originally belonged to you has suddenly changed."

Lu Yunzhou froze in place, the chill running through his internal organs and limbs. He admitted that what he had really meant was that if Xu Miao was willing, he could find a way to get the person to stay, even if it meant using any means necessary.

He was indeed that dirty, just like his father. He lowered his eyes and looked at the thin boy. His heart felt as if it was being torn back and forth by a saw, and every time it moved, blood was dripping.

He cared about Xu Miao, not only because he was his biological brother, but at some point in his heart, he also envied Xu Miao's clean appearance, being able to make friends without any restrictions, without having to come into contact with those people and things of the Lu family.

They both have the same blood and even their features are somewhat similar, but they have grown into completely different people. For Lu Yunzhou, he is also redeeming his younger self.

"She was not wrong, and neither was I. What was wrong was the years we spent together. Time had stolen them away. For me, it was just a wake-up call, but for her, it was a frantic search for my whereabouts, but she could never find them. It was countless days and nights of struggle. Late feedback and expired emotions are mismatched, just like the late sunshine cannot save a withered sunflower."

"Brother, tell me, if I hadn't been kidnapped, what would have become of her and me now?"

Xu Miao's voice was so light that it was blown away by the wind.

Lu Yunzhou was slightly absent-minded. What would it be like? Probably the two of them would go from school uniforms to wedding dresses, becoming a couple that everyone envied, living in silent yet deafening happiness.

I would never meet her under such circumstances, and I couldn't even say that I liked her. I could only deceive myself awkwardly to cover up the feelings that suddenly surged in my heart.

Xu Miao held his face with his hands, tears rolled down his eyes, and his body trembled.

"I can't figure it out. Time is really too cruel. Time has paused me. I am still the me who just finished the college entrance examination and was ready to confess my love, while she was pushed away by time and all her love was worn away. Or, we who liked each other have now become you and me."

"People who want to see others can be seen by taking a plane, but the person I want to see may require me to take a time machine. I really like her, and I still like her now."

He walked into the examination room, did the test paper correctly, and got the answers correct, but in the end, what he didn't get right was the time. No, it should be said that the time was also correct, but that was at that time.

"Xiao Miao, I'm sorry."

A trace of pain appeared in Lu Yunzhou's eyes and he closed his eyes.

He returned to the room in a daze, collapsed on the sofa, staring at the snow-white ceiling with slightly dilated pupils, not knowing what he was thinking.
