dance with you

##

What Cone Shengling held tightly in his arms was a recording pen.

After Zhui Shengling returned to his small apartment in one breath, he locked the door, closed all the windows, drew the curtains, made sure that nothing would disturb the whole environment, and then slowly climbed into bed and lay down as if exhausted.With a trembling hand, he took out the thing he brought back as a treasure, and looked at this ordinary recording pen. He couldn't believe that it was the only thing that could connect him with that person now. .

Breathing and taking a deep breath, Cone Shengling finally pressed the play button lightly, and there was a "rustling" noise from the recorder—it really started playing.Cone Shengling held the recording pen in both hands, put it on his chest, closed his eyes, and listened quietly.

Unexpectedly, there was always a "rustling" sound coming out of the recording pen, no one spoke, and there was no other sound.However, Zhuo Shengling was not anxious, he also felt satisfied when he thought that it was the sound of air friction around Shu.

He just waited quietly like this, and before he knew it, drowsiness gradually enveloped him.At the moment when Cone Shengling was about to fall into sleep——suddenly, a different note came out from the void!Zhui Shengling listened to the clear piano sound in astonishment, just like a traveler who has been walking in the scorching desert for a long time and finally got clear water.

After the first piano sound, there was a second note, a third note, and a fourth note... Cone Shengling listened quietly, as if a pious believer was listening to the Sanskrit sound from heaven.A picture unconsciously appeared in front of Cone Shengling's eyes: under the silent moonlight, he was holding that small hand, sliding slowly on the black and white keys, one note after another jumping in the air, the black-haired man The corners of the child's mouth curled up slightly, and the black swallowtail-like eyelashes drooped gently, covering the wine-red eyes. Everything was as beautiful as in a dream...

"'Dance with U'..."

At the end of the last note, Cone Shengling spit out the name unconsciously, and then fell into a deep sleep...

When Cone Shengling woke up again, it was already dark.

There was no sound in the small apartment, and the recording pen was still in his hand, and the playback had stopped.

He slowly put the recording pen into his closest pocket, sat up from the bed, stared at the faint light coming in from outside the curtains, in a daze.

I slept all day, didn't feel hungry, didn't know what to do next, didn't know what to think.Now Cone Shengling is really empty, except for the recording pen, there is nothing left; however, he would rather be in such an empty state, because he is afraid that if he is unavoidable When he needed to think about it, those heavy and dark things would be suppressed all at once, and he would never be given a chance to breathe.

After being in a daze on the bed for a long time, Zhuo Shengling finally felt bored.He got up, walked out of the small apartment slowly, and walked to the street outside.It was a night in early summer, the crescent moon was in the sky, the street lamps had been turned on one by one, there were many pedestrians on the road, talking and laughing with each other, passing by Zhui Shengling.Cone Shengling felt a bit chilly, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly among the crowd, as if a drop of water had flowed into a stream, he just needed to keep running, without thinking about the direction or thinking Why, I will slowly and slowly forget the pain in my heart.

When Cone Shengling came back to his senses, he had already reached a small park with no one there.By this night, there were no children in the park, and the entire park, seesaw, slides, and swings, were all shrouded in darkness.However, for the current Cone Shengling, the darkness is nothing at all, and the darkness has even become his asylum.Cone Shengling walked forward and sat on the swing, the darkness embraced him, Cone Shengling fell into meditation unconsciously.As if there was a "shasha" sound, like a bird's feather flying across the sky, sounded in his ears. In the midst of the commotion, Zhui Shengling heard that voice again, and it gently clung to his ears, slowly Low and authentic:

"zero……"

Cone Shengling opened his eyes suddenly! ——But there was still darkness in front of him.The only difference is that a few early summer fireflies flew from nowhere, dancing faintly in front of his eyelashes.Cone Shengling's tense body relaxed slowly again. He grasped the swing weakly with both hands, lowered his eyes, and looked at his toes. After a while, he opened his mouth softly and said:

"...Why are you following me?"

There was no sound.

After a while, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. A woman with short silver hair slowly walked in front of Zhui Shengling, knelt down on one knee in front of him, and said in a low voice respectfully:

"Xing Lian sees His Royal Highness Zhui Shengling."

Calling him this way made Cone Shengling feel a mocking sting.However, he was unable to make a statement, nor was he able to defend himself, so he could only say indifferently:

"Does Shu want you to protect me?"

"Yes."

Cone Shengling raised his head slowly, looking at the night sky, the lonely twinkling star.Cone Shengling murmured like a demon:

"You can go. I don't need protection anymore..."

Xing Lian didn't speak, she looked at the lonely and haggard boy, as if confirming something, finally, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly spoke and asked:

"I would like to ask you a question: Mr. Zhuo Shengling, Mr. Shu came to you, what is it like?"

Having never encountered such a problem before, Zhui Shengling couldn't help being stunned for a moment; however, the daze only lasted for a few seconds, and then the boy laughed slowly—every time everything related to Jiulanshu once returned In his mind, Cone Shengling would smile uncontrollably—cone Shengling was alone immersed in the memories of the beautiful past, as if talking to himself, and slowly said:

"What was he like? ... Before I met him, my whole life was fighting vampires, a life that was no different from the walking dead. His arrival brought me a light that I had never seen before, and I No longer living for the sake of living, I will hope to be better every day, to be with him every day, to do many, many interesting things, and to laugh so that I am surprised..."

"But what if, in order to be with him, you have to give up a lot of other things?"

Hearing Xing Lian's words, Zhui Shengling couldn't help laughing again, but that smile was full of bitterness and sadness.Cone Shengling shook his head:

"There is nothing more important than the pivot, and there is nothing more that cannot be given up - this is what I only knew after I lost it. I have also been disturbed by mundane trivial matters, but I finally understand that those are actually insignificant. Losing the pivot, No matter how perfect this world is, there will be no color... But, knowing now, what's the use..."

The boy's voice became lower and lower, he buried his head deeply in the palm of his hand, and murmured:

"I understand, it's too late, too late..."

The boy's voice was gradually lost by the insects' chirping in early summer.The flickering fireflies are cruising slowly in the low sky, like little twinkling eyes.In the unspeakable silence, the boy suddenly heard a voice from ahead, saying:

"...Maybe, it's still useful."

The boy suddenly raised his head, staring blankly at the woman in front of him——

Xing Lian took a deep breath and said:

"Have you heard what the Priestess left you?"

Cone Shengling nodded blankly, nodded and nodded.But what's the point of a piece of music without any words?What does Shu want to convey to himself through that?

Xing Lian stood up, bowed slightly respectfully, and stretched out a hand to Zhui Shengling:

"—Then, please come with me, Zero-sama. Su-sama, I'm waiting for you."
