Chapter 123: The name of the star
Since the moment I made a choice, my heart has been quiet. It is as quiet as a summer night full of stars in the night sky, as quiet as a stream flowing in distant mountains.
The unchanging scenery is always surrounded by white walls. It's just that the road under my feet finally begins to be flat. Does this mean that my journey will come to a successful end?
There is no noise around, as if I am getting farther and farther away from the crowd not far from the two doors just now. I don't know whether I am isolated by this road or we who were going to gather have been scattered again.
I don't want to know which is right or wrong, but I just follow my mind.
The sunset on the edge of the sky has slowly floated, and a small group of burning clouds also filled half of the sky. I was heading west. From the moment I entered the maze, I watched it fall day by day, and then chased it, moving forward for the ethereal end in front of me.
Gradually, the surrounding walls seem to be becoming more and more scarce, not as messy as when they first entered the maze, making people repeatedly unclear the road.
I think the end I'm looking forward to is approaching.
Finally, when I passed the last corner of the road, an empty grass appeared in front of me.
The area of this open land is not large or small. After a rough glance, it is estimated that there is a large area like an ordinary resident's house.
A fence erected by wire stands beside the white wall, which is covered with rose thorns. Although there are few flowers, they are more prominent in this environment full of thorns and dark green.
"Is this my end?" I looked at the empty green space and muttered to myself, and then walked into the towering flower shed in the center of the green space.
It's not that this place is too empty, only a building that looks slightly eye-catching, but that this flower shed has been full of the faint fragrance of memories since I came in. Because it was too similar to Minghan's Star Garden, at that moment I seemed to think that I had crossed the boundary of time and returned to the Star Garden.
Slowly approaching, both the smell and the illusion here are so familiar. I couldn't help looking back at the way I came. It was like a huge mirror in this maze. I kept seeing myself through it and Situ Lei. At the same time, I can also see the truth hidden in each other's hearts...
I carefully pushed the wooden fence of the flowering garden, and then opened the thin plastic door that was so dangerous that it seemed to blow and break. The faint fragrance of the stars comes to the face, and the built-in star garden is different from the cold star garden, except a large area of stars.
Quietly entered, and a figure flashed in the depths of the flowering. The closer it approached, the stars became thicker and thicker. Some corners even had to squeeze sideways. The stamens and leaves scraped on the wheelchair, making a rustling sound, and the sound shocked the people inside.
Turn the corner, head-on.
Only then did I find that the person in this flowering was him.
"Did you choose this road after all?"
Situ Lei wore a white loose sports suit, which blended with this white starry sky. If it weren't for the fluffy hair, it would be difficult for people to find it.
"What, did my choice disappoint you?" I picked one casually, touched its small petal, and answered as if nothing had been done, and my words were careless.
"What's the reason? Don't you want to stay with me?"
"This is going to ask you. If you really don't hide any mystery in this door to free options, why do you build a flowering here and wait here?"
Situ Lei looked at me, as if he had finally found a place to talk, and he was reluctant to leave my face for a second. But I didn't react to it, just played with the little flower in my hand.
Tiramisu means ' take me away'. Like me, you are a person who doesn't like to be restrained. The previous questions are aimed at the understanding of President Situ of 'you' Minghui. But that's not really you. Even if you walk in, it's just an empty shell with a long appearance.
I said, putting the little flower in my notes, thinking of making it into a specimen and leaving it as a souvenir when I go back.
"But do you know what the choice represents here?" Situ Lei's face showed a trace of comfort, but there was another trace of worry.
"I know."
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid..."
"Well, in that case, let's go." With that, Situ Lei put down the shower in his hand and pushed me out of the flower garden together, and behind this flower garden was the door outside the maze.
In the past, it was like yesterday in front of me. At the moment he put down the shower in his hand for a second, I saw his long-lost smile, and the gentle smile overflowed from my eyes.
He reached out and stroked the place scratched by insects on my face. He felt a little pity, but he didn't say anything.
The day and night of the maze journey made my face tired and a little dirty. He smiled and soaked the towel on the window sill of the flower room and wiped my hands.
"I'll do it myself." He broke away from his hand and hid aside with some embarrassment.
"I'll do it."
It's a little domineering, and some of them pull my hand over and come softly.
I'm not resisting, just let him touch me like a noble doll. Sometimes he gave him a perfunctory smile, but he seemed to be a treasure.
The years are quiet. Perhaps the time in the flowering is the most peaceful time with him after I come back this time, without those grudges.
I think he has the same idea as me at this moment. If time can stay here, it should be the most beautiful moment for each other.
"Lolin, no matter how long the time passes, it seems that you are the only one who knows me best. Maybe I only want to be known by you. I don't regret using what Ye Yichen said that those so-called disgraceful means forced you to stay with me..."
The quiet flower path is a different world from the huge white wall behind you. Situ Lei pushed me to walk here, and his heart slowly spared these words as if he was reluctant to leave this place. I just want time to pass slowly, and we also walk slowly.
And I also miss the gentleness he once had for me. I didn't choose this road for him, but I can't leave without finding my father's trace. I can't leave the student union or his side.
I know that I lost the qualification to become vice president by choosing this road to the outside, but it is also because of this and my understanding of Situ Lei that I came here. Although I didn't expect him to wait here, I think he will be more alert to me from now on. .
I, not the previous Xia Luolin, is not the doll he stayed in the student union, but a gun lurking beside him and waiting for the opportunity to move. Whether he feels it or not, I will eventually be like this...
After walking out of the maze, the scene outside is like another world. I was used to seeing the pure white things inside, and suddenly felt that the leaves outside and the sunlight reflected in the cracks were so chaotic and dazzling.
The people of the student union have been waiting outside. Ling Fei seemed to be a little disappointed, but she still greeted me with a smile and said welcome back. It seems that I just went out on a long trip and returned in danger. But I don't deny that there were indeed moments that scared me in the depths of the maze, and the scratches on my face were still faintly painful.
"Ling Fei, take good care of her."
After leaving a sentence, Situ Lei returned to the maze the same way.
Later, Ling Fei told me that no one chose to go outside except me, so the other six people were still waiting for the final result of the election in the maze. And Situ Lei went back to announce it.
I asked Ling Fei why there was a garden deep in the maze.
She said that this was what Situ Lei did when he was elected as the student president, because this place has been a place to run for vice president over the years. This legend has been circulating since the founding of the school director. If the vice president and the president are of the opposite sex, they will grow old together after the final election. As for the reason, no one knows. Xiao.
After learning about this, Situ Lei spent a year building a flowering at the end of the labyrinth. It is said that he comes here alone every summer vacation or when he is free.
"President Situ said that he gathered all his thoughts here, and this maze was like his other body." Ling Fei pushed me back to the mountain villa.
"Do you miss it?"
"Well, I went in there once. At that time, the flower garden had not yet grown, and there were small buds that had not yet bloomed in it."
The flower language full of stars is missing.
And perhaps only a few people know where this missing will eventually be paid. I smiled and went back to the room and waited without saying anything.
The position of vice president was soon made public. The only boy in the whole election was also led by the first-year freshman to become the vice president of Minghui. According to this position, he naturally became the candidate for Situ Lei's next president after graduation.
Minghui is a traditional sequential inheritance. Whether the vice president is male or female, as long as the grade is lower than the current president, he will be postponed to the next president.
If there is no vice president who meets the requirements, he will choose several candidates after graduation.
After several people came out of the maze, except for the person who finally won the election, they all looked sad. And everyone is disgraced without exception, and they don't know what they have experienced in it. They definitely look worse than me.
On the way back, Han Heya's face turned white and red. She talked a lot in school long before the election began, and she couldn't raise her head in school for a while compared with this defeat.
But she still sat in Situ Lei's car shamelessly, just like when she came.
We came at night and returned with black fog. No one knows where this entrance to the hidden jungle is, and no one knows the way to come here again except the driver.
Everything is shrouded in this night like a fog, the magnificent labyrinth standing in the mountains, the old villas in the mountains and forests, the gurgling streams, the curling clouds...
These seem to have never existed. When the sky is bright, we have all returned to this familiar land, noisy city and pompous life. Minghui's school gate is like a heavy shackle, and once again locks our small existence into it.
Situ Lei and the group of the student union went back first to arrange to announce the vice president, and Han Heya, who was sitting in the same car, also returned with them. We were sent to the public bathroom of the school to take a shower and relax before being sent back.
" Luo Lin, I, can I talk to you alone?"
As soon as I got out of the car, I was stopped by the sound behind me.
Turning around, I saw half of Situ Bohan's body leaning out of the car and following him.
