Accumulate feathers sink the boat

The flow of people in Causeway Bay is really no joke. Lu Xiangzhou, who squeezed through the crowd for 10 minutes before barely crossing a road, sighed sincerely.At his current speed, not only is it not sure whether he can move under the big clock in Times Square before 12 o'clock, but it is even a bit difficult to say whether he can squeeze into the subway station before the subway stops running after the bell rings.

The small band that volunteered to play in front of the shopping mall was still singing hard, Lu Xiangzhou spotted a gap, and planned to get through the fire escape beside the lead singer with the afro.As a result, before reaching the entrance of the passage, a hoarse and heart-piercing shout was heard, passing through the huge crowd and rushing straight into the night sky.

"I finally lost you, in the crowd."

It's Zhao Chuan's song.Lu Xiangzhou was his die-hard fan when he was rebellious in junior high school, and he sang along with the quilt on the bed every day, "I'm Ugly But I'm Gentle" and hummed so much that even Lu Wenchuan could remember the melody.At that time, he regarded cruelty as passion, and liked all inexplicable word combinations, such as finally and lost, ugly and tender, love and unspeakable, the more incongruous the lyrics, the more he liked them.Teenagers seeing things they don't understand as cool is a common experience that almost everyone has.

However, standing here at this moment, among the turbulent crowd in a strange city, Lu Xiangzhou felt that he suddenly understood this song.

Finally lost, what kind of loss will be matched with the word finally?He had always thought that all losses in the world were painful and unbearable, so the words that matched him could only be "eventually", "why", and "unwilling".And what does finally mean?Finally, it is a sudden escape after being unbearable, and a sudden victory after a long time of persistence. How can this kind of word be used together with loss?

"Ah~ I finally lost you, in the crowd.

I lost you at last, when my life felt glorious for the first time. "

The hoarse and desperate singing of the exploding head continued, as if Lu Xiangzhou had returned to junior high school, he couldn't help singing along.

Yes, "finally" should be used.Finally lost, let the unwilling love come to an end in the endless waiting, from now on there is love but no lover, heart but no distress, it is really a good thing worth using the word "finally".

"When my life was honored for the first time..."

Unconcealable relaxation and pride welled up on his brows, and Lu Xiangzhou took out his mobile phone from the squeeze of countless people's arms.10 minutes before the arrival of the new year, all the roads to Times Square have been blocked, and the street back to Sogo Department Store is also overcrowded.He lowered his head and thought for a while, then stood obliquely in front of the exploding head, and pressed Gong Yu's number - no area code, just the most primitive mobile phone number.The familiar busy voice came, and he spoke slowly in harmony with the unstoppable singing beside him:

"Miya Yu."

This was the first time he had uttered this name himself in several months. His heartbeat was still there, but the strangeness was very clear.

"Gong Yu, are you alright? Have you been happy in the past few months since the divorce? I...I always didn't want to let go. One was because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to bear it, and two... The second is that I am afraid to see you too happy, and I can't bear it. But it seems that this is not the case now. Divorcing you may be the most correct decision I have made in my life. What it brings is the mutual relaxation of the two of us."

The crowd suddenly started screaming, the countdown timer in Times Square flashed with dazzling light, Lu Xiangzhou raised his head towards an invisible distance, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I always wanted to spend New Year's Eve with you, because everyone said that the New Year's wishes made together would be particularly effective. So I make the same wish every year, and I hope that the two of us can grow old together, I thought At least once, that's exactly what you want, but it seems..."

Six, five, four, three...

The second hand of the big clock started the final counting, and the crowd pushing each other all stopped, following

The second hand starts counting down.

"Three, two, one, happy new year. Gong Yu, happy new year. From now on, my wish will not be related to you. After so many years of repeated prayers and repeated failures, I think the meaning of the gods has been clear. But I still sincerely I hope you have a good life. Although those hurts are real, the joy and happiness you bring me are also real. You look beautiful when you smile, and you look nice when you eat. You are chic when you are serious, and gentle when you are quiet. I met you in the second year of my father's death, and you accompanied me through the most difficult time, whether you love me or not, I will always thank you."

The busy tone on the phone stopped, and the call was cut off if he didn't make a call, but Lu Xiangzhou didn't care, he dialed the number again.

"I don't know if I will send you messages or call you again in the future. In many moments, I want to forget you from the bottom of my heart, but there are still some moments that I don't want to part with. A person's life is only a few decades, I I met you in the most important ten years of a person's growth and development. It can be said that I will carry your shadow all my life. Loving you is a part of me, and you are also a part of me. So I can't curse you for not living well Well, I've thought about it, but I really can't."

The cheers from the crowd finally dissipated, and the Afro's song was changed several times. Lu Xiangzhou suppressed the numb soreness in his nasal cavity, and said softly into the phone: "Then I wish you all the best. This time is sincere. I hope you can live a better life as much as possible, so that the past I walked with you can be better, and I can be better. Happy New Year, the first year without you, I am very happy."

After the lively scene, the expected New Year came as promised amid the cheers of the crowd suddenly rising and then dispersing. There was nothing new, but it was really saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Almost half an hour after the bell rang, the gathered crowd began to slowly disperse in all directions. Public transportation on holidays will be suspended at two o'clock, and everyone must go home as soon as possible before this time.

Lu Xiangzhou also tried to follow the steps of the people around him to the subway station, but after walking for twenty minutes, he gradually realized that something was wrong—the rhythm of the crowd was out of order.Before twelve o'clock, in order to wait for the bell to ring, everyone gathered towards the same place. Even if they were squeezed too hard, the direction would always be the same.But now, because everyone has to go back to their respective homes, everyone wants to fight their way out of the crowd. If they can't use their strength, the formation will naturally become chaotic.

It was okay at first, only some small-scale pushing and shoving, a few curses, and a way to pass.But later, as they were pushed more and more times, some grumpy people began to yell. Lu Xiangzhou couldn't recognize the pheromones, so he could only judge from experience that these people should be Alphas, because Alphas have strong hormones in their bodies. Easier to lose control of emotions in public.This is a somewhat dangerous thing, because Alpha's loss of emotional control is usually accompanied by an imbalance in the secretion of pheromones. Big, the Omega around them will be more or less affected, either attracted or attacked.

Lu Xiangzhou looked at those small and frowning people, feeling a little worried.Just in case, he began to squeeze into places with few people as much as possible, thinking that if there was a riot, at least he would have a place to hide.Being able to guarantee their own safety without any pheromone interference in public is probably the only gender benefit that Beta can enjoy. Besides, they have always been regarded as the bottom of the courtship food chain, the least attractive crowd.

But Lu Xiangzhou didn't think so.

He doesn't think it's an inferior thing that he can't attract the opposite sex through pheromones. On the contrary, he firmly believes that only Beta is worthy of dating and talking about love, because their love will not be interfered by pheromones.What are pheromones?It is the fertility hormone secreted from the bodies of AO and AO after the three-sex mutation of human beings. The purpose is for sex, and it has never had anything to do with love.The attraction of these hormones to the opposite sex is entirely for the purpose of reproduction. If the attraction is strong, the reproductive instinct will be high, and if the attractiveness is low, the reproductive instinct will be poor.

But what does this have to do with love?Love is beyond all money and sex, it should be infinitely close to the essence of a person's soul, and it is the most beautiful and noble emotion that human beings can erupt.And this kind of emotion can only be possessed by Betas who are not disturbed by pheromones, because only they can see the essence of a person through pheromones.Just like how he likes Gong Yu, it's not because of Gong Yu's good smell, but because he sees through Gong Yu's powerful Alpha skin, his extremely pure heart that firmly believes in the equality of three sexes among ABOs.

"There must be empathy, not sympathy, not pity, not these high-level feelings, but to really consider from the perspective and psychology of the other party."

Lu Xiangzhou will never forget what he heard in that small courtyard filled with the scent of gardenias.How remarkable, an Alpha who has taken full advantage of gender and resources can make such judgments and considerations for the weak of gender, it is nothing more than Flaubert's reincarnation.Therefore, in his opinion, Gong Yu is not only a good doctor with a glamorous skin, but also a person with an upright personality and morality.

And this is an advantage that only belongs to him, Lu Xiangzhou, and it is an advantage that can only be seen by a Beta who is not disturbed by pheromones.

"So when I say I love you, I really love you. I love you even if you are completely unrecognizable. I love you, the most precious and innermost you."

The crowd behind him were still pushing and shoving, Lu Xiangzhou tried his best, and finally squeezed to the edge of the road. Seeing that the fire exit he had planned before was in front of him, he only needed to move forward a few meters——

"Ah!! Help!!!"

Suddenly, a sharp wail pierced out from the crowd. Immediately afterwards, all the pheromone blockers on both sides of the sidewalk began to alarm at the same time. A large amount of inhibitors were sprayed from the air to the crowd. Lu Xiangzhou didn't know which gender had a false estrus. , I can only hold my head and rush to the fire escape.

Sirens, fire alarms, and ambulances sounded almost at the same time. A big riot pinched New Year's neck and approached the crowd step by step.
