forced to fall in love

Chapter 10 Modern Campus

========================

"I can do it, you trust me."

The consonance is not a small voice, breaking the silence between the two in vain.

"You should know this matter, I don't believe you can solve it." Shen Sui looked at her with a flat tone.

"I know."

Consonance wants to say something more, to explain.

But Shen Sui didn't entangle her too much about whether she knew or not, he just changed the subject.

"Besides, I'm just helping you make up lessons, you don't have to do that."

Lingxi looked directly into Shen Sui's eyes, even though she was only one step away from her now, Lingxi felt that they were far away for a moment.

Far.

This word, I don't know when it became a thorn, piercing into Lingxi's heart impartially.

Obviously, from the end of the war to the second world where she is looking for the soul of God, it is actually only a short time for her, but she seems to have experienced countless distances.

Can't protect the Lord's far away, find the soul's far away, far away from the Lord's side.

Each one is an obsession and also her belief.

The flute has no spirit, but when you meet the master with your talents, you get the spirit, get the lettering, and make a contract.

"But I want to do this." Lingxi paused, "I want to help you."

Shen Sui pursed his lips slightly, but did not respond to her, and the two looked at each other silently.

At this time, several men walked quickly past them.

"... I remember that the person surnamed Shen seems to be in the front one, right?"

"Seems to be!"

"Go! Go and have a look! You must be home so late!"

As soon as they finished their finale, Shen Sui's eyes changed suddenly, his brows frowned with chills.

"You go quickly."

Shen Sui hurriedly dropped these words, turned around and ran away without paying any attention to her.

Shen Sui's house is in the back row of buildings in the community, and there are still two turns to be made between the main gate and the last row of buildings. Shen Sui ran while watching the men's positions, and dexterously walked into the bushes on the path.

Taking a shortcut, it will take a few minutes faster. Although it is only a few minutes, it is enough for her.

"Boom—boom!"

Shen Sui held her breath and ran upstairs, her fair cheeks turned rosy, and there was even a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She knocked on the door hastily, and after a few seconds, the door was finally opened , a woman in crumpled clothes stood by the door, with some dissatisfaction in her tone.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, knocking so loudly."

Shen Sui pushed her into the house, closed the door and locked it in one go.

The dim yellow lamp in the house was hanging above her head, flickering by the wind outside the window, even the shadow under the lamp was shaking with it.

For a moment, Shen Sui couldn't tell whether it was her or the lamp shaking.

"Are you drinking again?"

Shen Sui saw the wine bottles placed next to each other on the table behind her.

"Not yet, I'm going to drink a few bottles."

Shen Sui's black eyes sank: "Here comes the man."

"who?"

The woman didn't care, she took the corkscrew and sat down.

In the next second, before Shen Sui could speak, there was a series of drum-like knocks on the door, accompanied by the man's rough shout.

"Shen Huanlian! Open the door!"

"Open the door! I know you're inside!"

The woman immediately jumped up from her chair, ran to the light switch, and turned it off.

"Why didn't you say Sui Sui earlier!" She lowered her voice.

Shen Sui stood in front of the dark door and looked at her coldly: "What are you talking about, don't you want to drink?"

"You child, tell me that they came to the door..." The woman lowered her voice as she spoke, and finally complained, "Then I won't drink."

Shen Sui didn't reply to her again, because the chaotic knock on the door occupied the entire range that she could hear.

"Shen Huanlian, you can't hide!"

"It's only right and proper to pay off debts!"

"We have been letting you loose for a long time! You can still pay back the money today, and if you can't pay it back, I will make up for it if you sell your house!"

Maybe it was because the man knocked on the door for a long time and there was no movement, they became impatient and spoke with anger.

"What, what should I do, Sui Sui..." The woman leaned against the wall and leaned towards Shen Sui tremblingly: "Sui Sui, think of a way, I...you know me too, I have no money, really, really no money..."

Shen Sui lowered his eyelids, looking at the darkness beneath his feet.

"No money, no money, where did you get your wine?"

"I... I only have a few dollars on me, and it's not enough to pay back, so I, I thought about buying wine..."

Shen Sui sneered and stopped talking.

The sound outside the door still didn't stop, and the soft sobbing of the people around him didn't stop. Shen Sui tried to close his eyes. He looked at the darkness for too long, so it's better not to look at it.

This is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened since she had memory, or rather her memory has been surrounded by this kind of thing.

When she was a child, she would squat in the corner, hug herself, and bury her head in her arms to prevent herself from hearing these voices. Gradually, as she grew older, Shen Sui understood that it was useless to escape from such things. Life is like sailing against the current. Retirement, so she works hard to work part-time, study hard, and grab anything that can make her more capable of facing all this.

However, Shen Huanlian's long-term alcoholism is also a shackle that has been dragging her forward slowly.

It would be nice if...

While her thoughts were a little slack, Shen Sui's mind came up with these words without beginning or end, and she didn't even know what she was thinking in the middle.

A blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of the black curtain with his eyes closed, walking towards her step by step, Shen Sui couldn't see clearly.

"What are you doing!"

"What are you doing, there are so many people!"

A different male voice suddenly sounded, and came into the room through the door wall.

"They're the ones who are disturbing the people! They've been smashing doors here at night!"

There was also a female voice, the voice was not louder than the men knocking on the door, but the dissatisfaction in the tone was expressed to the peak.

The knock on the door disappeared, and Shen Sui suddenly opened his eyes.

"No, no, that's not the case with the police comrades. We are here to ask for debts. This family owes us a lot of money." The man's voice dropped, without the previous momentum.

"What kind of debt!"

"Look, it's an IOU."

"It's so late, everyone in the neighborhood has to rest, even if you want a debt!"

"Now is a society ruled by law..."

Voices of admonition came from outside the door, and after a while, Shen Sui vaguely heard the police telling them to leave. The man was unwilling, but he had no choice but to leave slowly, and waited for a few minutes for the police to knock on the door.

Only then did Shen Huanlian come back to her senses, and hurriedly stood in front of Shen Sui to open the door.

The door opened, but Shen Sui didn't see the owner of the female voice who spoke before.

Shen Huanlian thanked the police gratefully, Shen Sui took a step back and went to the balcony.

The hot wind brushed against Shen Sui's cheeks, but it couldn't dispel her heat.

Lingxi followed the men downstairs, watched them leave the community cursing, and then returned to Shen Sui's downstairs in peace, standing in the shadow of a tree and looking up at the window of Shen Sui's house.

The lights at home suddenly turned on, and within a few seconds, Lingxi saw a person appearing on the balcony, looking for something.

With the faint light behind her, Lingxi recognized Shen Sui.

People usually have a sixth sense, and they are extremely sensitive to the sight of themselves, and so is Shen Sui.

Lingxi wanted to retreat into the darkness, but before she could react, Shen Sui had already seen her, and the two of them looked at each other across a few meters of height difference.

Lingxi wanted to say something, but she was afraid of being rejected, or even arouse God's disgust. After much deliberation, Lingxi took out the jade flute from her bag.

The jade flute was held in the palm of the hand with a hint of coolness, soaking in from the outside to the inside, Lingxi's fingertips rested on the fingerhole, placed the blowhole on the lower edge of the lips, and breathed out gently.

The tune is slow and melodious, and the unique chirping of cicadas in summer, accompanied by the melodious sound of the flute, inexplicably gives rise to another meaning.

Lingxi looked at Shen Sui with calm, even persistent eyes. The sound of the flute was like her words, speaking for her, and the words she couldn't say floated into Shen Sui's ears one by one.

Shen Sui's hands on the balcony railing tightened little by little, his brows were furrowed, he listened to the sound of her flute motionlessly, and looked at the person below.

After a long while, Shen Sui's slightly pursed lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could say it, there were already neighbors and the police scolding her.

"What are you blowing about if you don't sleep at night!"

"Don't tell me to sleep!"

"Little girl, you just reported the nuisance, and you started to disturb the people? It's so late, go home."

"..."

Lingxi only had Shen Sui in his eyes, and the melody changed for a moment, and became high-pitched, as if he was fighting against them.

The sounds of scolding, scolding, cicadas, and flutes were mixed together, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

And the person standing still under the shade of the tree, unmoved, seemed to become a lighthouse in the dark at a certain moment.

The sound of the flute continued, and there was the sound of doors closing in the nearby corridors.

The person standing on the balcony waved at her, Lingxi tilted his head slightly and understood her meaning with the help of his peripheral vision.

The sound of the flute stopped suddenly, Lingxi held the jade flute, flicked it with his fingertips, and put it into the backpack, then bowed his head to Shen Sui, quickly hid back into the darkness, and ran out of the community through the grass.

After running straight across the opposite street, Lingxi stopped and looked in the direction of Shen Sui worriedly.

This time it happened that she was here and met, so what about next time?

Was it the same as today?

Many interrogative sentences burst out in his mind, and each question mark made Lingxi's heart sink more and more uneasy.

……

The man with a bad temper went downstairs angrily, but he couldn't find the source of the noise, so the police appeared, looked around, and persuaded him to go back.

The man suffocated and went back, so he had no choice but to give up.

Standing on a high place, Shen Sui witnessed the situation downstairs, and then looked at the distant direction in the twilight, the corners of his lips curled extremely shallowly.

"Sui Shi..."

Shen Huanlian's voice sounded behind her, and the soft light in Shen Sui's eyes slowly dissipated. Before turning around, his eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over the place where Lingxi stayed, and there seemed to be the sound of her flute in his ears.

sounds so good.
