The Magician of Clow

Chapter 1435 Them in his absence (4)

The daylight tilts, and the afternoon begins in the shadows of the trees,

He stayed by the girl's side until the exam bell rang again,

"It should be right here."

At this time, chasing after the next hut figure that Haiji found, Fangran floated to a building.

Beijing University-Cultural Activity Center Building,

This is where Beijing University holds various activities, including lectures, debates, club performances, award ceremonies, etc.

As the largest academic institution covering a vast area, Peking University actually has several similar places.

But unfortunately, because he often becomes a missing person on campus,

Fangran has never been to any of them.

At this moment, I looked at the cultural building in front of me, which was my first time here, and thought about the figure who walked into Hai Ji's field of vision not long ago.

Fangran followed many students who were running in a hurry and walked into the building.

Perhaps because of the location, I didn't find the figure from the window. I didn't know anything about the inside of the building, and I didn't know where the other person might be.

Unable to let go, Haiji and Mullin flew into the building to look for someone. After walking around for several times and finding nothing,

Fangran finally realized that searching like this might not work.

Is it really the only way to use that method again?

Looking at the building extending in all directions and the many students coming and going, at this moment I decided to use the final means,

After finding a hidden corner, he removed his transparent disguise and quickly selected a target.

Fangran directly activated his ability in front of a girl's figure!

"Hello, classmate, can I interrupt you for a moment to ask something?"

ummm

The ability to ask for directions should also be a kind of ability, right?

"Eh?"

At this moment, I was suddenly called. I vaguely remembered that no one seemed to be behind me. The girl turned around unexpectedly.

Then after seeing the young man in a pure black suit, she was a little surprised and politely spoke subconsciously:

"anything?"

"Um. I'm looking for someone, but I'm not very familiar with this place. Do you know where Senior Sister Xia Yao from the dance club is?"

Using the method he used when he went to the club building again, Fangran looked at the girl with a ponytail in front of him and asked politely,

But something he didn't expect was,

After saying this, he felt that the way the other person looked at him suddenly changed.

Specifically, it's like a subtle change from thinking the other person is pretty good to thinking, "Oh, he is this kind of person."

"Do you have anything to do with Senior Sister Xia Yao?"

When I heard her rhetorical question, I couldn't say that I was here to secretly see what my senior sister was doing.

In the end, Fangran could only say without knowing how to answer:

"Um, some personal matters."

But when I heard him say this, it only confirmed a certain guess in my mind, but maybe it was because of the first impression.

The girl with a ponytail still chose to help and said:

"Then come with me."

"Hey, thank you then."

I was a little surprised. I thought I would have to ask two or three people, but I didn’t expect that the first person knew Xia Yao.

Sure enough, the senior sister is very famous?

At this time, he followed the other party's footsteps and walked forward through the corridor, and finally came to a door in the corner of the first floor.

Then after following her and pushing the door in, the scene inside came into Fangran's field of vision.

In a studio hall with a stage, curtains, and heavy curtains, the first performance has already begun on the illuminated stage.

Under the dimly lit stage, the seats that could accommodate hundreds of students were almost full.

It looks like they are doing some kind of year-end show before the winter vacation.

"Well, this is it. The dance club has senior Xia Yao's show. It seems to be the sixth one. If you want to find her, just wait here until she finishes her performance."

At this time, Fangran came in from the back door of the hall. The girl with a ponytail pointed to the stage in front of her.

In fact, I am a member of the organization department responsible for this event. I just finished the last subject this morning, so I came a little late.

Only then did I meet someone who planned to randomly select a lucky passerby to ask for directions.

"Thank you so much."

At this moment, it suddenly dawned on why Haiji was not found. Fangran looked at the girl and thanked her with a smile.

"fine."

I just waved my hand and looked at him without moving. It seemed that I really wanted to stand there and wait. Maybe it was because of my enthusiasm and familiar nature.

The girl with a ponytail couldn't help but remind her:

"Senior Xia Yao already has a boyfriend, you'd better be mentally prepared."

Fangran, who was looking at the stage program at this time, was stunned.

"Why do you say this suddenly?"

Listening to his somewhat stunned inquiry, the girl looked at him with a strange look on her face and said an earth-shattering question:

"Didn't you come to Senior Sister Xia Yao to express your love?"

Ah? ?

Hearing her words at this moment, Fangran fell into a daze.

Am I here to express my love?

At this time, seeing Fangran stunned by being 'exposed' by him, the ponytail girl didn't pay attention, just looked at him and said helplessly:

"By the way, you're here in a suit, why don't you bring a bouquet? How could you say so empty-handed?"

"Forehead"

At this moment, she was speechless. After understanding who she thought I was, I finally understood why her eyes changed like that just now.

He looked surprised and didn't know how to respond, but he was embarrassed to embarrass the person who had just helped him.

"Okay. You're right. Confession shouldn't come empty-handed."

Fangran had no choice but to admit with a curious look on his face, and then looked curiously at the pony-tailed girl beside him:

"Can I ask how you figured it out? Can't I be senior Xia Yao's friend or something?"

Regarding this question, the girl with a ponytail just looked at him with an idiotic expression:

“Which friend doesn’t even have contact information and needs someone to ask for directions?”

"Who wears a suit in school if it's no big deal, and you used a vague excuse like personal matters,"

"A boy, dressed so formally, is looking for a beautiful senior who doesn't know him. I can't think of any other reason other than to confess his feelings."

Fangran: "."

Wow. What she said makes sense (surprised).

Listening to her words at this moment, I felt that the other party's logic was so rigorous and flawless that Fangran himself couldn't help but doubt.

Could it be that I really came here to confess my feelings to my senior sister?

The performance on the stage continues,

Folk music ensembles, song solos, classical instrument ensembles. Various types make people feel that these top students from Peking University are really versatile.

Although it is far less professional than what I have seen in North America before, the youthful atmosphere is really unparalleled.

During this period, I occasionally listened to the ponytail girl next to me talking about the programs on the stage. Then not long after another program ended, a beautiful girl in charge of hosting announced the next program:

"Okay, I believe everyone has been waiting for a long time,"

"The next performance is a dance story performance by the beauties of our dance club!"

After the show started, a famous performer's dance was woven into a story on the stage.

Fangran saw the familiar figure among them at a glance.

She wore a princess-like white gauze dance dress, revealing her snow-white shoulders, flawless collarbones, and her carefully pulled up hair styled with a crown.

Under the hem of the skirt, a pair of overly slender and straight legs, and the stiletto heels of high heels supported the light dance steps.

Her unusually tall figure makes her look as dazzling as a dream on the stage.

"You see, Senior Xia Yao, really, even if you can't see the face clearly, you can recognize her at a glance just by her height and long legs,"

At this time, pointing in the direction to Fangran, the girl with a ponytail showed a somewhat envious look, and whispered the information she heard from her friend in a low voice:

"Besides, I heard that she also dances Latin dance, rumba."

At this moment, looking at the figure on the stage, the black-haired young man just nodded softly and gently:

"Ok, I know."

My senior sister learned Latin dance because her mother was a dance teacher.

Because of my personality, I have been practicing rumba in a soothing way since childhood.

In the senior sister's own words, Latin dance, a hot and sexy dance, is not suitable for her and she is not good at it.

But before leaving for Midnight, one day when I went to the club building, I saw the senior sister who was practicing dancing. Under her quiet concentration,

It is very beautiful and completely different from the usual style.

At this time, listening to his calm answer, the girl with a ponytail turned her head slightly in surprise.

Then maybe in a trance, something loses its cover and is revealed unconsciously.

In the darkness, she saw an unspeakable temperament exuding from the young man's figure.

When I heard that the other party was looking for Xia Yao, I instinctively thought of him as an annoying boy who wanted to chase beautiful women and specially dressed up in a suit to express his love.

But at this moment, she suddenly noticed the inexplicable straightness of the young man in the suit in front of her.

He didn't notice the change in the people around him, he was still looking at the stage at this moment,

What she danced was not Latin dance, but rather unclassified dance steps. The character Xia Yao performed seemed to be a princess who was about to fall into a deep sleep.

She is tall and beautiful, and her dance moves with her slender legs are too beautiful. All the boys in the hall are watching this scene,

Fangran suddenly remembered in a trance,

He had been like this before, as an ordinary boy looking up at that beautiful figure

Thinking back to the memory of meeting Xia Yao for the first time at Los Angeles University that day, even after experiencing so many things, looking at the stage at this moment,

Fangran also felt that the figure was still as beautiful as when he first saw it.

Never faded.

At this time, memories about Xia Yao emerged, going back to class, breakfast, and rest days to recall the time spent in the cabin.

Then slowly trace it back to before that summer vacation,

I remember the chance encounter in the locker room at the beginning, and the concert we went to see together that night,

Thinking of her figure lying in his arms with blood blooming on her dress,

I remember the moonlit hospital room that night.

'Block.'

A voice sounded in my mind, and the memory of getting along with that figure under another name emerged,

But senior sister probably won’t remember this now.

Fangran showed a relieved and slightly nostalgic smile.

Looking at the stage at this moment, Xia Yao slowly sat down on the ground, and with the exit scene as the lights dimmed, she seemed to be sleeping.

Then, as if he was persuaded by the words he just chatted with, he smiled knowingly when he thought of the card that North America finally awakened.

I remember my senior sister said that she liked...

"Um, classmate, can you do me one more favor?"

At this time, hearing Fang Ran's voice, the girl with a ponytail turned her head again,

Then I saw a young man holding a large bouquet of flowers in the darkness of the hall.

"Can you help me give this to Senior Sister Xia Yao?"

Ok?

I was stunned for a second, wondering where the other party had taken out such a big bouquet of flowers. I subconsciously reached out and took it carefully.

But she realized something more important the next second:

"Hey, why don't you go to your senior sister to confess your love? I just told you to be mentally prepared, I didn't tell you not to go!"

Not intending to do something unnecessary like refusing on behalf of others, she quickly explained.

"I know, but for some reasons, I need to trouble you first now."

But after saying that, she only saw the young man smiling and speaking,

Looking at the other person's figure leaving after thanking him for the last time, I was stunned for a while before I came back to my senses.

At this time, she looked at a large handful of delicately wrapped pure white flowers in her hand, with slender shapes, tender yellow hearts and soft waves.

This is calla lily.?

I marveled at how beautiful this bouquet was and waited for the dance on the stage to finally end.

She held the flowers and came to the door of the performance backstage.

"Um, hello, I'm looking for Senior Sister Xia Yao."

At this time, Xia Yao, who was surrounded by a group of figures thanking him for helping, turned his head when he heard the voice, and was surprised when he saw a strange girl holding a large bouquet of flowers.

Amid the curious eyes of the people around her, she walked towards him:

"Who are you.?"

"Just now a boy asked me to give you this flower."

Eh? Sent to me.

Xia Yao took the bouquet in confusion, looked at the completely unknown girl in front of her, and asked strangely:

"Who gave me this flower?"

"I don't know, he didn't say."

Hearing such an answer, I became even more puzzled. I was not surprised that a boy might give me flowers, but in that case it was usually roses.

Looking at my favorite calla lily in my arms, I have the impression that I have only told it to a few people.

I'm sure none of them are here. I don't know who sent it to me.

Xia Yao subconsciously asked at this moment:

"What does he look like?"

"He's a handsome boy wearing a suit."

At this moment, I was surprised to say such a description to the person just now. I was stunned by the beautiful figure of Xia Yao in a white dress holding a calla lily in front of me.

The girl discovered that she was surprisingly similar to the flower in her hand.

After hearing this answer, I thought of that figure for a moment, but I knew that person was not here now.

Xia Yao raised her eyes and continued to look at the girl and asked:

"Did he say anything else?"

"He said, senior, you were really beautiful on the stage just now."

And at this moment, listening to her answer, many girls in the background looked at her with envy,

Xia Yao's beautiful face was inexplicably lost in thought. Looking at the large bouquet of pure white and elegant flowers in her hand, she remembered the last time she told someone that she liked this kind of flower.

As if out of some hopeless longing,

She suddenly thought of a familiar figure

[After reading the comments and feedback, there were too many descriptions of passers-by and too little descriptions of Xia Yao, so I deleted some of the conversations with passers-by and tried to add some of Xia Yao's pen and ink to enhance the look and feel. Alas, last time I wrote this I was in a bad state] Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly As for the plot, I originally expected that it would be mistaken for a confession, or meeting someone who wanted to confess to Xia Yao, and then interacting, and finally something happened by mistake. For example, if Fang Ran went up, it would be more interesting. , but after racking my brains for several days, I couldn't figure out the feeling of authoritativeness, and it was definitely a correct development to write like this. Various rough edges could not be solved, and in the end I had to choose Fangran, who was misunderstood as a confessor. , and then sending flowers is such a mediocre scene, and what makes me most uncomfortable is that even this, it took me several days to write it (collapse)]
