C5 (2/2)
The days passed quickly in their merriment. There were only a few days left before the football semi-finals. Although Zhang Jun and his team looked relaxed on the surface, those who could enter the semi-finals were definitely not a mediocre team, and their strength was unquestionable. Therefore, they still used the time they could spare to strengthen their physical training. It was not for anything else, but for the title of ”Champion”. It was just for the sake of being the strongest and the best.
However, just as everyone was preparing for the championship battle, Zhang Song was at a loss for many days. In the end, he decided to leave and secretly bought a train ticket five days later without Zhang Fei, Mu Xinyi, and the others knowing anything. Five days later, it would be the final day of the football tournament. Zhang Song chose that day because he didn't want to see the crowd bid him farewell.
As expected, after the semifinals, Zhang Fei and his team easily entered the finals, while the other pair of competitors entered into the finals against Class 8 of the Humanities. As the match drew nearer, the two teams were preparing for the final.
Time passed by in a flash. No one had expected that this farewell banquet would quickly rush towards Zhang Fei and the others. During the day, Zhang Song was the same as before and showed no signs. Other than studying, he slept and spent the rest of his time with Mu Xinyi.
”Su Xiang, your stamina isn't up to standard. You've only run for a short while and you're already out of stamina. I really don't know what you usually do.” Zhang Jun stopped and stared at Su Xiang as he said angrily.
Su Xiang bent down and gasped for air, trying to catch his breath: ”You know, my physical fitness is not good, I ran for 3000 meters today, this is my limit, I am really not going to make it.”
Zhang Jun angrily criticized, ”Tomorrow is the finals. I don't want to fail at the end just because of you. No matter what, we have to win the championship. Get up and continue running. ”
”Give me a break, otherwise I'm going to die of exhaustion.” Su Xiang looked at everyone and begged.
”Second Bro, we've been running for such a long time. It's not that Little Su is no good, but even we're tired. Let's take a break first.” Brothers, let's rest for ten minutes and continue after that. ” After saying that, he patted Zhang Jun's shoulder and went over to sit beside Su Xiang to rest.
Su Xiang revealed a grateful expression and said apologetically: ”Big brother, I really can't do it anymore. Thank you for speaking up for me.”
”We are all brothers of our own, why do we still take offense?” Don't blame Zhang Jun, you know his character. ”
”Yes.” ”I understand.” Su Xiang nodded.
In a certain corner of the school field. Zhang Song was holding Mu Xinyi as they sat on the green grass. At this moment, they had forgotten everything, and everything around them had become lifeless in front of them. They looked up at the blue sky and white clouds with tacit understanding.
The first person to break this tranquility was Zhang Song. Looking at the setting sun, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, ”The setting sun is infinitely good. It's just that it's almost dusk.”
Mu Xinyi turned around and looked at Zhang Song's eyes with infinite gentleness. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say it. Instead, she used her hands to help him tidy up his hair that was messed up by the wind.
Zhang Song looked at Mu Xinyi but didn't say anything. His gaze once again fell on the azure sky.
Mu Xinyi stared at Zhang Song like a puppet and sighed emotionally, ”Why is he so depressed? It was like the old man sighing helplessly in the face of such a miserable life. Why can't I guess what he's thinking? What secret was he hiding in his heart? ”How much pressure did you endure?”
Facing the silent Zhang Song, Mu Xinyi could not stand this oppressive and depressing atmosphere. Her mind was thinking about what she could say at this moment. After a moment, Mu Xinyi asked, ”Do you still remember the vow of 'Peacock King to the southeast'?”
”Hmm? ”Why are you asking about this?” Zhang Song asked with a frown. He obviously knew that oath, but could he say it? Could he really give her that promise, as the oath said? He was afraid. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to give her any promises. If she couldn't make any promises, why would she make any promises? It was good for her.
Zhang Song's expression was completely captured in Mu Xinyi's eyes. Although she didn't say it out loud, she still grumbled in her heart. Unwilling to accept this outcome, he replied, ”The Lord shall be like a rock, while the concubine shall be like a reed; the reed shall be like silk, and the rock shall not be moved.”
”I hope our love will be as strong and permanent as theirs.” Mu Xinyi said with a firm expression.
Zhang Song shook his head and said, ”But in the end, they were not able to be together, right?”
”That's right. Although they couldn't walk together for various reasons when they were alive, but after they died, they still ended up together, turning into peacocks with twin beds and a pair of peacocks.” Mu Xinyi tried to defend herself.
Zhang Song heaved a long sigh and said, ”That kind of love is just a myth in ancient times. ”We are modern people, we are all atheists. After death, we are only left with one grain of yellow soil. How could we become peacocks?”
”I understand what you mean. I can feel your feelings towards me, but I don't dare to give you any promises. I'm afraid that even if I can't, I won't be able to. After all, we are still young. When we are all mature, you might meet the real him in your life, and the person who can give you this kind of promise will definitely be him. We don't know what's going on. Maybe we're just a passing visitor in each other's lives. ”
At this time, Mu Xinyi's tears were already pouring down like rain, and her voice was choked with sobs, ”No, I know that we will meet all kinds of people in the future, but my heart has already been completely given to you, and I can't tolerate anyone else. My heart is only beating for you, like a spring silkworm, and I didn't stop spitting silk until I was dead. And you are the only one for me, if I lose you, my world will lose all life, if I can't be with you, even if I have the whole world, I won't be happy, you are the source of my happiness, only by being in your arms will I feel at ease, will I give up all pretense, as long as I have you, I won't be afraid of anything. ”
