Ultimate Mortal
Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Westchester, New York.
In winter, it lacks the poetry and greenness of summer, but it does not lose its youthful atmosphere.Teenagers in Canada Goose running by the lake, girls walking arm in arm in the campus, the sound of quarreling echoed in the blue winter sky, it was extremely similar to Song Xin's memory of her campus.
Logan went to find Professor X, and Song Xin was wrapped up like a ball alone, walking around the campus, vaguely remembering her time in high school.
No matter the border, every school and every person in the world has something in common.
Madeleine was waiting under the old banyan tree by the lake. Song Xin once fell into the lake in summer.It was cold and windy, and the branches were bare. When Madeleine saw Song Xin, she waved to Song Xin.
Madeleine shouted, "Here—!"
Song Xin quickly ran over.
Madeleine Cooper grew a little taller, and after waiting there for a long time, even the tip of her nose was frozen red.Song Xin was heartbroken to realize that Caucasians really had a racial advantage. Madeleine was much younger than her, but taller than Song Xin, and she looked like an adult.
Madeleine Cooper touched her nose in embarrassment and asked, "...are you getting shorter?"
Song Xin: "..."
Madeleine hurriedly said again: "No, no, that's not what I meant. Song Xin—"
Song Xin laughed and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm not too tall, it's normal to be surpassed by you, but I haven't shrunk—that's something that only happens when I'm seventy or eighty."
Madeleine finally relaxed, and said softly: "It's great to be able to joke with you."
Song Xin: "Huh?"
"It's been four months." Madeleine looked at the vast sky: "—Actually, I've always wanted to talk to you, Song Xin, but you've been a busy person these four months, and I can't even find you As far as you are concerned, the summer clothes you put here have never been picked up..."
Madeleine Cooper said softly, "I owe you an apology."
Song Xin was stunned: "Huh?"
"I'm sorry, Song Xin. I seem to be the one who hit you when you were most difficult."
"To be honest, I was very angry at the time." Madeleine said, "I didn't expect that the person who slept with me in the dormitory for so long was actually a person with an undercover purpose... But after I realized it, I recalled my relationship with him. When you get along, you feel that the description of you is too different from your usual appearance."
Madeleine said: "The Song Xin I know is a silly, persistent, but indescribable girl who is very respectable. The dormitory is always tidy and her homework is always in good order. Help me with my homework and listen to me carefully..."
Madeleine said, "Would I believe the description of you on that TV?"
"I admit, I believed it at the beginning." Madeleine said hoarsely: "But when I realized that it was just you, the person in charge who has never had a good policy towards us, accusing you with empty teeth—— I should trust the Song Xin who gets along with me day and night, not the short-lived 'informant' identity that quickly appeared in the live video and then disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Madeleine Cooper lowered her head to Song Xin, and said, "...it's useless to talk too much, but Song Xin, I still want you to know, I'm sorry."
"And," she said softly, "I really, really like you—be it before or now."
Song Xin: "...Huh?"
Song Xin: "Madeleine, I have...a boyfriend."
Madeleine: "..."
Madeleine said, "Wait, I didn't mean that!"
……
As the bitter winter wind blew, Song Xin leaned against the big banyan tree in the manor alone, while migratory birds flew across the sky in the distance, and the birds chirped across the ancient forest.
Logan Howlett called from a distance: "Little friend?"
Song Xin turned her head and saw that Logan was holding two cups of hot drinks and shaking her at her.
Song Xin laughed and asked, "Are you done with your work?"
Logan took a glass for Song Xin, and casually said, "I'm done—what did Madeleine tell you?"
Song Xin thought for a while, and said seriously: "The first part is to apologize, and the second part is to clarify that she doesn't plan to be your rival in love."
Logan Howlett had nothing to say: "Oh."
Song Xin struggled and said, "Let's go?"
Logan: "Let's go."
Logan looked at Song Xin.
Song Xin is not a person who can hide things, even if she doesn't say it, her face will reveal it.In the gray winter evening she looked preoccupied.
Logan Howlett opened the car door, and Song Xin sat in, as quiet as a quail before laying eggs.After taking a seat in the car, Logan turned on the air conditioner, and the sky in the distance was getting late, and the sky on the other side of the mountain was dyed orange-red and the icy sunset.
Logan didn't speak, and reversed the car. The car was filled with warm heaters. Song Xin stretched out her cold fingers and pressed on the air conditioner.
Logan said, "Donald... is the guy you wrote about before, the frog-looking guy who's preparing for the March SAT. Young man..."
Song Xin scratched her head and said embarrassedly, "Time flies so fast."
"I always feel like I just finished the test... I took the SAT test when I was 16 years old. I remember it was in Hong Kong. After I came out, I didn't feel it at all. In the evening, my classmates and I made an appointment for "Star Trek 2: Into Darkness" , but now even the third part is full of resources all over the world.”
Logan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Song Xin.
Song Xin laughed uglier than crying, and whispered: "Actually, thinking about it this way, it's only six years. To you, time doesn't even count..."
The setting sun dyed the whole sky red, and they passed through the dark trees.
The sky is red, the trees are black, and at the other end of the mountains are the shadows of trees in Dongdong, like an eternal and silent Titan.
"I just told Madeleine," Song Xin rubbed her face sadly, and said, "I won't shrink until I'm seventy or eighty..."
"Then I remembered that I will be in my seventies and eighties. At that time, I will lose all my teeth. If I take public transportation, someone will give up my seat. My face will be full of wrinkles and age spots. Cataracts..."
Logan looked at Song Xin from the corner of his eye.
Song Xin's voice was a little trembling, and she said softly: "Actually, I'm not afraid of getting old. Who wouldn't grow old? I just... think that a mortal like me who will age and die can only accompany you in your long life A short trip. And I've been thinking about..."
——I have been thinking, when Song Xin is an octogenarian, will there still be this Wolverine who will never grow old by her side?
He is always young, always strong, and always full of strength to fight against the world.
Would such a person stop for an old lady?Can he bear the astonished eyes of the world when he sees his partner and finds out that it is an old lady?Taking a step back, how long can a person's fragile love last? No one can say what will happen in the future.
Song Xin could barely speak, turned her head away to look out the window, and also turned away her red eye sockets and the tip of her nose.
Song Xin knows that this is tantamount to unfounded worry, like the little girls who are in love with her most incomprehensible ask 'do you love me, will you grow old with me', but this question, at this time Even after that, it will hang over her heart, like a dark cloud that cannot be dispelled, a penis that cannot be dismantled, and a sharp sword hanging above her head.
Logan sighed, reached out and rubbed Song Xin's head.
"It seems that I didn't give you a sense of security." Logan said hoarsely, "Song Xin."
When Song Xin's name was called, she turned her head with red eyes.
Logan sneered and said: "You are indeed still too young, what's so scary about old age? Time is not scary either."
"When we get old, maybe we can install that kind of chair for going up the stairs in the house..." Logan Howlett thought for a while and said, "During the holidays, I will travel on luxury cruise ships, and I will take my grandson out. camping."
Song Xin burst out laughing.
Logan thought about it solemnly: "It's the kind of primitive jungle with snakes and tigers. Prepare a knife, a bundle of rope, and a pack of matches. Men have to face life and death..."
Song Xin accused: "You are imposing your childhood on children! I will buy them practice questions - I can be sure that my grandson will be very, very angry if the SAT score is lower than 2000 ..."
Wolverine snorted: "Your childhood was no better than mine, it's worse."
Song Xin: "It's not miserable at all. Learning is the ambition of modern people and the only way to achieve class mobility!"
Logan Howlett snorted: "I'm still a hardcore man for thousands of years."
Song Xin said angrily: "You have an inherent impression. And I always have a feeling that you don't want to tell me a lot of things, probably because of this male chauvinism..."
Logan Howlett slammed on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, frowned and said, "I just don't think it is necessary to report every detail, kid, I find that you are getting more and more capable—"
Song Xin was aggressive: "It's male chauvinism, my grandfather is this kind of person, the most bold and emotional sentence I ever said to my grandmother in this life is 'Your noodles are delicious', don't laugh, it's true ! It’s this kind of character that doesn’t say anything, and doesn’t report anything! Look again when you confessed to me—”
But her voice stopped abruptly.
The sun sets in the distance, and the undulating mountains are a golden red color. The night covers them and the wilderness. The car is parked on the side of the road, but the lights in the car are dim and warm.
Song Xin stretched out her hand in the light with difficulty, and touched Logan's ear.
"...Logan, here you are," Song Xin asked with red eyes, choked up slightly, "why do you have white hair?"
At that moment, the wind was warm, blowing through the night.

The author has something to say: First of all, I sincerely apologize to everyone TAT
First of all, things that have not been explained in the main text will continue...
Then it's apology time TAT
In the last few chapters of this article, one is Cavin, the other is the obsessive double-opening (it turns out that I don’t think I have any dual-opening ability), and the third is the pressure from all aspects of reality after the start of school, which caused me to update the TAT pair intermittently. I accept any form of criticism and accusation on this matter, and I am really sorry, and I am also sorry for failing to live up to everyone's expectations of me.
I bow and apologize to everyone here TvT
There are about 2 to 3 extra episodes in the back, explaining the stories that have not been explained in the main text.
Thank you all for walking with me here.
