【Moneng】stay gold

The days at school flew by quickly, and this was Angel's final year at the prestigious Anglican seminary.In this year, she has done a lot of honesty, because if she receives another warning and is recorded in the file, it may affect the qualification assessment for the ownership of the guardian gun at the end of the year.

Four years ago, No Angel decided to pass the guardian gun qualification test before graduation.Her counselor was very comforted by this. Although Neng Angel is always out of tune, she is still very clear at critical moments.

When Neng Tianhai was very young, her elder sister made a guardian gun for her. When she was a teenager, she often secretly carried the gun and went out to fight wolves. Her elder sister just turned a blind eye to her small games, but warned her not to She was found carrying guns illegally.

Can Angel can find freshness and excitement from his rebellious game at the beginning-who would have thought that the girl with a bright smile and brisk pace on the street actually had a guardian gun in her bag? ——Later, the freshness faded, and she longed to be able to freely take the gun case to the streets instead of carrying a big bag to cover up.

The days of preparing for the exam passed quickly, and the daily mechanized training made Nengtian feel irritable, but these are actually barely tolerable, except for thinking of Mostima from time to time.Before leaving in a hurry, she and Mostima didn't say goodbye properly.She wrote to Mostima, and Mosttima wrote back a few times, but never talked about seeing each other again.Can Angel sensitively noticed that Mostima was deliberately keeping a distance, so that he could attribute the fading relationship to not maintaining contact frequently, rather than deeper reasons.Just like when the two of them first met, Mastema was gently pushing her away, who was a little too enthusiastic.As soon as she realized this, she stopped writing unsolicited letters to Mostema.

The year-end assessment is a field simulation, and her teammate in the special training team is a Longmen man named Shan Jin.Shanjin is a very careful and forbearing girl.Because he is a foreigner, and when Sarkaz is involved in a civil war, he always has to go through some identity verification procedures from time to time, and Shan Jin's attitude towards some troubles has always been resigned.Neng Angel wonders if all Longmen people are like her: swallow everything.Or is this just a prudent self-protection practiced by the Longmen people?Her friendship with Yamama has been very comfortable since neither of them is someone who expects anything from human interactions.

When the exam comes, Shan Jin and Neng Angel share a room outside the school and concentrate on preparing for the exam.Angel's luggage was minimal, ID, two government-style quick-loading guns, spare holster slides, a change of clothes, a periscope, various bruises, bandages, weighted wristbands, a guitar, and a photo.In the photo, her sister, Mostima, stood side by side with her, and in the distance is the Angel Tower under the setting sun.She handed the photo to Shan Jin and asked the blue-haired angel if he was pretty.

Shan Jin's eyes lit up, "It's very beautiful."

Neng Angel smiled proudly, "That's right. I also think she's pretty."

"Hmm... the temperament is a bit like "The King of Cards"."

"Who is the King of Cards?"

"It's not a person. It's a painting I saw when I was in Longmen. That painting is called "The King of Cards". I was particularly impressed by that painting because of the expression of the person in the painting—eyes pity and mouth corners mocking. I was There is a feeling of being seen through by the person in the painting at a glance...It is indescribable and shocking.”

Angel Neng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but nodded, "What you said fits Mastema's character very well."

"This blue-haired angel is called Mastema?"

"Correct."

"Who's the other one?"

"My sister."

"Are you a family?"

"No, not Mastema, she's my...friend."

"Oh, friend." Shanjin smiled slightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Can Angel was very uncomfortable.

"It's nothing. Go out for lunch today?"

On the night after the year-end exam, Noji and Yamamata went out to drink.The tavern is full of students who have finished their liberation exams. After a few drinks, Can Angel jumps onto the stage and joins the band in the bar to improvise. She has been playing the guitar for a long time, and she is a little bit ecstatic. She feels happy in her existence, every pair of eyes she has looked at is as bright as gems, she feels electric shock when the eyes meet, she readily accepts all ridicule, sarcasm, and admiring gazes, and the fanatical atmosphere makes the whole world It exudes a dangerous and charming atmosphere.The slightly turbid air sticks to the person's forehead and chin, which are damp.In a trance, she seemed to smell the wind blowing from the mirror lake.

I don't know how long it took for her to go crazy before she put down her guitar and jumped off the stage panting. The drummer caught up with her and wanted to kiss her, but she pushed her away. "Don't you want to come?" asked the drummer.The angel sighed, "I'm sorry, it's not you." The drummer left after making a gesture between apology and indifference.

The smell of alcohol and hormones rolled in the air.

In the chaos, the angel could catch a glimpse of a figure with long blue hair from the corner of her eye. She subconsciously pushed away from the crowd and chased after her. Only when she walked in did she realize that it was a man.Loneliness suddenly became cruel.Angel Neng wiped his face and wanted to get away and walk towards the door.But the blue-haired man stopped her, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Can Angel made an apologetic smile.

The man hands her a glass of wine. "Here."

"Thanks. But I can't—"

"Just a glass of wine. Freedom."

An angel clinked glasses with him.

"Like everything here?" the man asked.

"I like it." For some reason, Angel Neng's tone seemed so insincere, and he forced a smile.

"Who were you looking for just now?"

"A friend, I mistook you for her."

The man smiled slightly, as if he had expected this answer a long time ago, "Very disappointed?"

"A huge loss."

"I'm very sorry."

The capable angel shrugged.Suddenly she found that Shan Jin was dancing with a strange long-haired woman in the distance crowded with people, and she was stunned.She danced well, with a sweet smile and quick steps—perhaps too well.Even a little slutty.

"Your friend?" The man followed her gaze.

"Correct."

"But not the friend you were looking for."

The energy angel nodded.

"I like everything here, too," the man said, taking off his hat as he spoke, "I like you too."

Angel Neng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "It's too old-fashioned."

The man also laughed, "Love itself is a very old-fashioned thing. Maybe you don't really love that person, maybe you just want to be that person. Love has many secret doors, tunnels, mezzanines... who knows?"

Can the angel be stunned by him, who does she want to be, and who wants to be her?A person next to him squeezed over and said loudly, "Let this girl go, let go of love too, love is just love!" That person pulled Neng Angel to the side of the sofa and sat down, Neng Angel liked her strong and rough palm. "You can't drink any more. If you drink any more, you'll probably wake up on the side of the street tomorrow."

"Okay." Energy Angel nodded obediently.

"It's so pitiful." The woman gently stroked Neng Angel's face with the palm of her hand. Did she regard her as someone who lost love and bought drunk?Can Angel struggled to sit up straight, "Actually, I'm just missing, not to mention that love is so grand..."

"But love is not grand." The woman smiled, "But I understand you."

Can Angel is obsessed with this feeling, the two people have never met each other, but at this moment she can trust the other person's hands.We are of the same origin, we are of the same origin...we are all a sleeping spore in the universe.

Neng Angel woke up in her apartment the next day with a splitting headache. She staggered out of the bedroom and found that Shan Jin was making breakfast with a calm demeanor.

"last night…"

"You drank too much." Shan Jin handed her a glass of warm water, "You absolutely can't imagine what you did last night."

Can Angel sat down on the sofa, held the water with a suspicious expression on his face, wouldn't she be crying and calling Mastema's name?Then she might as well climb up to the tallest bell tower in Lateran and jump off. "…what did I do?"

"When I found you, you were lying motionless on the sofa. I thought you were asleep, but you suddenly opened your eyes and started playing hymns with your guitar in your hand!" Shanjin said with a reminiscing expression, "Then addicts all over the world They suddenly quiet down like a flock of little sheep and start singing around you. It's hard to imagine if you didn't see it with your own eyes... Sakota people. True Sakota people. I thought I knew you better, it seems Far from enough."

Can angels put their hands over their eyes—sing hymns in bars?

"As expected of me...?" she muttered to herself.

"As expected of you." Shan Jin nodded and said yes, she served the porridge, "Mostima and I took a lot of effort to drag you away and bring you back, you are really capable of making trouble..."

"...Wait? Who?"

"what?"

"Who are you with?"

"Mostima. That blue-haired angel, your friend. Did I get the wrong name?"

The energy angel suddenly jumped up, "What? Mastema is here? Where is she?" She looked around, it seemed that Mastema was hiding in the surrounding air, but invisible.

"She left. Before she left, she said she came to see you today."

"Really? She didn't say hello to me, did she?"

"Really, it's absolutely true, how can I cure you and bring you back by myself?"

Angel Neng slowly sat back on the sofa, his eyes widened and he recalled what happened last night, but his mind was blank.She had a look of disbelief. "I…"

"what happened?"

"I'm not drunk, am I? Except singing...? It's over, I must be ashamed." Angel Neng was a little embarrassed, and a little confused that he hadn't recovered from the shock.

"No, in fact, the scene of you singing in the bar was inexplicably touching. Then you kept mumbling to yourself, and we couldn't understand what you were talking about... On the way back, Mostima told me a little your business."

"What did she say?" Can Angel's hair explode.

"That's a good word."

Angel's hair is soft again.

"Don't you wash your face and dress up? You look haggard now." Shan Jin reminded her.

"Ah, it must have been ugly last night anyway. I don't care." Having said that, Angel Neng still dragged his body to wash his face.

After washing her face, she went back to the bedroom to change, only to fall back onto the bed and fall asleep.Her brain was hazy, and when she regained consciousness, she felt a hand caressing her temples, gently, slowly, and repeatedly.It seemed to be raining heavily outside, with the sound of raindrops hitting the glass.Accompanied by comfort, she fell asleep again, and this time it was dusk when she woke up.

Angel felt much better, the room was silent, as if she was alone.The feeling of time and space confusion that seemed familiar, can angel think back for a while, and think of that afternoon a long time ago.what happened?Her life has been peaceful and happy since she was born. She is a rare lucky person in the world, but since the appearance of Mostima, she has lost control, and every time she loses control is related to her.But no one told her that the sequelae of love were so serious—after six months, she was still drunk for a person who had only lived together for two months.

Mastema had no idea how much she loved her.

Mostima really appeared when night shrouded the surroundings.She and Shan Jin came back together, the two of them carried large and small packages of vegetables, opened the door talking and laughing, stuffed the vegetables into the refrigerator, opened the wine, and walked into the kitchen.Neng Angel didn't know what to say next to her, but she was out of place, like an outsider.

She waited anxiously for a long time, imagining what she would do if Mostima appeared, but in the end all her thoughts were deliberately ignored by her. Anyway, things never go according to her idea, so it is better to be here honestly Waiting for the same to change for the better——now it really is another scene she never expected.When she came back to her senses and wanted to help cook, Mostima smiled and said the first words to her, "Come on, we all know your cooking skills, let's go out and wait to eat."

She and Shan Jin looked at each other with a smile, and exchanged a tacit look.The angel looked at Mostima, then at Shanjin, and asked her why you two are so nice all of a sudden?Yamajin shrugged, Mastema is a very easy person to get along with.

You also said before that she looks like the King of Cards, making people flustered, and being able to make angels secretly slander her.

At the dinner table, Neng Angel found that Mostima was unbelievably gentle. She never showed her iconic sneer all night, and her eyes were never as harsh as they were in the summer palace. Talking about the style of Longmen, she seems to be very familiar with Longmen. When talking about a certain snack or a certain building, the two of them often burst into laughter and nodded frequently.Can Angel has never been to Longmen and can't get in her mouth, but she can realize that Mostima is actually telling Shanjin's words when she is not in the game.After the meal, Mostima showed a satisfied smile—can Angel be sure that she has set up Shan Jin's background in all directions.

Can Angel didn't understand what she was doing that for - why was she suddenly so interested in someone she had never met before?

After drinking the last drink, Mostima turned to the Archangel who had been neglected all this time, "You drank a lot yesterday."

"The exam is over."

"That can't be drunk like that."

"Just once. I haven't had a drink in months."

"I remember that you were not so rebellious in summer." Mostima looked at her with a half-smile, "Is it because your sister never cares about you, and there is nothing to be rebellious about, that's why you are so obedient?"

Why is she so hard on her?

"Could the angel be good?" Shanjin asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"It seems not now." Mostima raised his eyebrows.

"Stop making fun of me again."

Mostima shook his head very slightly, and asked if the two of them wanted to go out together.Shan Jin immediately said, "I have to send something to my family tomorrow morning, so I'll pack it up tonight, you two go."

The rainstorm had just passed, and there were very few pedestrians in the city in the morning, and most of the shops were closed. It looked deserted.There is still a lot of humidity in the air.The wind is cold.The cobbled road was gleaming with the cold light of street lamps.They were walking on the street, without anyone speaking first, the friendly aura on Mostima dissipated, and she turned back into the familiar girl.After walking for a while, Mostima glanced at Angel Neng and asked her to hand her his hand.Can Angel didn't know why, so he stretched out his hand, and Mostima lovingly stroked the thick calluses and scars left by bruises on her hands, and Can Angel immediately forgave her for being cold tonight.

"Exam preparation is tiring."

"Fortunately."

The two walked for a while.

"Shan Jin said that you sent me back last night." Angel Neng said.

"Yeah. I was there when they sang around you. Singing hymns in bars..."

Can Angel laughed, "It's really my style, isn't it?"

"If I could draw, I should really draw that scene."

The two looked at each other and said in unison, "World famous paintings." The energy angel laughed, and she began to jump up and down on the cobblestones to avoid puddles. "Why did you suddenly appear here?"

"I have some work to do."

"How long can you stay?"

"About two days. What's the matter?"

"Tomorrow we have a graduation ceremony, do you want to go and see it?"

"Can I go?"

"I invite you."

Mostima was silent for a while before saying, "...if only your sister was here. She should have witnessed your best moments."

Neng Angel thought for a while, "My sister is also very busy recently, and hasn't contacted me for a long time. We are both very busy."

Mostima stopped talking, and just repeatedly stroked the cocoons that could make angel's fingertips and tiger's mouth.

Can the angel think of something, "How do you get so familiar with Shan Jin?"

"Because she's your roommate. It's important to be on guard against others, and it's better to know everything."

"It's too sensitive. Shan Jin is a good person. I can tell when I get along with her."

"Okay, as long as you have the number."

They stopped at last in front of an elegant little hotel with a hazy orange light that flickered as if there were fireflies or elves living in the lamps.There are wind chimes hanging on the door, and there are several pots of white roses at the foot of the door.Neng Angel fell in love with this store almost immediately, she likes the mysterious atmosphere.

"I'm staying here for two days," said Mostima.

"Are you going in?"

"Let's go back, I'll send you back, and I'll come back."

"I can go back by myself. I have a light, so it's safe." She pointed to her halo.

Seeing this, Mostima stopped and laughed helplessly, "I'm afraid you'll be lonely."

The energy angel was suddenly speechless.Mostima actually, still, has always understood her very well.But since she understands so well, why can't she have the heart to walk back alone if she doesn't understand Angel?There is no end to seeing each other back and forth like this... The two of them stood facing each other in the wind, as if they were punished by elves and turned into statues.

The energy angel looked around, and suddenly she remembered a dusty past, which was really a long, long time ago.Once she followed her sister and sneaked into a bar to play.She was very young at that time and had never gone in. As soon as she entered, she was choked by the strong smell of alcohol and sneezed and shed tears. A little girl next to her laughed out loud at her funny reaction.She wiped away her tears and looked at the little girl, neither of them spoke.Can Angel has always been the king of children, and it is easy to play with strange children, but she did not get close to that strange girl.The two of them just looked at each other like that, and it felt like the universe had paused in the little girl's eyes.Suddenly, my sister called her name in surprise and anger, and the energy angel ran away immediately.In those few seconds she could have had a good look at the face she would never see again, but at the same time she felt a frightening atmosphere: time, passing time, the noise of people around, They wanted the bartender to bring more wine, and opened the window to let the air in, and the clinking of beer glasses, endless laughter and whispering, surrounded her layer by layer, like a river between her and that between girls.But she still looked back, and she saw that the girl was looking at her, staring at her, and then the girl suddenly smiled, and the angel herself did the same.Then she was grabbed by her sister and carried home to give her a training meal.Since then, can angels have realized how different they are from others.

Mostima asked her why she was in a daze, and the angel told her about this little incident.

"Never saw him again?" Mastema asked.

"Never again. Maybe, but I don't recognize it either."

"It's better to keep her in memory."

Can Angel nodded, "The Can Angel who met that girl has been staying in that tavern, and at the same time I am still moving forward to meet the unknown, the two are not contradictory at all, return time to time..."

"Give back time to time..." Mostima repeated this sentence slowly, as if slowly chewing each copybook, she suddenly asked, "Did you also leave that kiss to the angel of the day?"

Angel was stunned, vivid memories of summer flooded into her mind, she never thought that Mostima would mention that kiss in this way in this place.She was caught off guard, unable to speak, and could only nod her head.She thought they'd never talk about that kiss while they were alive.

"Then I will leave it to Mostima that day."

Energy Angel's eyes widened, "I thought you'd done that a long time ago."

Mostima stared at the Archangel's face.

"Have you thought about what to do after graduation?" she asked again.

"I haven't thought about it yet. But I'm sure I won't enter the system, maybe find a job? Sigh...we were drinking to celebrate graduation yesterday, and I'm going to think about finding a job today. It seems like I've aged a lot all of a sudden."

"This is life."

The energy angel nodded, she didn't tell Mastema that the kiss had also aged her soul quickly.The very thought that she would have given her all to ask you not to be silent had aged her rapidly.

Mostima was invited to appear at the school gate the next day.

The angel of energy led her around happily, and even let her wear a graduation gown that she had borrowed.It makes them look like best friends.The two of them took a photo in their academic gowns, and in the photo, Mastema was tenderly pinning the hair of the Enchanted.

Before leaving, Mostima gave a box of records to the angel, and the gift was beautifully wrapped. "Happy Graduation."

"What song is it?"

"stay gold."

"Thank you."

"Why are you and I so estranged?" Mostima teased her, knowing that she was using a joke to cover up the fact that she was about to leave.Poor technique.Can make myself say generously, "Then I will not be polite—you must always think of me."

"Okay."

Mostima's promise didn't take effect, maybe it did, but the angels have no way of knowing.After the farewell, the world was turned upside down when they could talk again, four years later.
