The puppets' stage play

Chapter 408: Imprinted in my heart

"What would you do if you were in this situation?"

Anri turned his head, and there was nothing strange on his face. The familiar smile bloomed on his face, as if he was asking a casual question.

"...I will leave here and wait for the next opportunity." Qi Xiu was silent for a while, and then gave his answer.

He is not the kind of person who will risk everything for his goals. Normally, if the possibility of success is too slim, then he will decisively abandon the current action.

"Well, it's just like I thought. You really haven't lost your mind." Anri shook his head with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"Maybe." Qi Xiu didn't want to talk more about this matter. He changed the subject and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Anli's expression was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned strange as he looked here.

"Sometimes, I feel that you don't understand adults' consideration too much." Anli had a headache on his face and couldn't help but complain.

"For example, you, an adult who has always lived a lazy life? Then I really don't understand. I'm really sorry."

Qi Xiu's emotionless apology sounded, and those calm eyes looked here. The corner of Anli's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but look away.

"You guys... are really powerful in a sense." Anri looked to the side, still sarcastic.

"Thank you for the compliment. What I did was not outstanding enough, at least not as good as yours." Qi Xiu retorted in a consistent tone, and his words were tit for tat.

The two of them quarreled in dissatisfaction, and after a while, they stopped feeling satisfied.

"...Oh, it was an unexpected failure." Qi Xiu first looked forward and let out a sigh.

While the two were arguing, the guy had already stood up and repeatedly said his request to the figures walking toward the iron gate.

Of course, even if someone listened to his request, they quickly rejected him after thinking about it. Only a madman would really accept that kind of extremely high-risk 'investment'.

Even the geniuses who were usually arrogant and full of self-confidence changed their expressions slightly, stood up and left, turning a deaf ear to the latter's request again, and walked straight into the First Lian Yuan.

The handsome-looking boy with a sneer on his lips turned his head, not hiding the coldness in his eyes.

"No need to try again, don't you understand? We just ignored your rudeness out of 'goodwill', but in the final analysis, you are not the same kind of person as us, so you should leave here as soon as possible."

"Please believe me, I am very useful and will definitely come in handy, so please -"

The man's words were halted, and the sharp wind of his palm hit his face, causing his originally pale face to suddenly turn a little red.

"It's so boring, you are worthless." The boy smiled contemptuously, turned and left. The man stood blankly for a moment, then immediately walked towards the other man, words of persuasion pouring out of his mouth again.

Shang Qianqiu, Qi Xiu thought in his heart.

Although it seems that he is not outstanding in that school, that is because the stronger ones are more conspicuous, and it is not that he is not strong. At least, in his heart, the other person is a dangerous guy.

"..." Botai shook his head and walked past the other party wordlessly, with a cold demeanor and never said a word from beginning to end.

Before, Qi Xiu watched Li Ao and Xuchang meet up, and walked in together ignoring the man.

Even these later students seemed to have heard the other party's rumors, and they all adopted an indifferent attitude and refused to talk to the other party, let alone make a promise.

Qi Xiu looked at that scene with calm eyes, looking at the figure who clearly had no hope, but there was no depression on his face. He still looked at everyone who came with hopeful eyes.

"I will work hard, even if I risk my life, I will not let you down."

People walked by without looking sideways, and he looked at the next person with a smile on his face.

"I only need a verbal declaration. I swear that I will never drag you down, and I will never betray you."

He spoke with a smile on his face, waving his arms, and the expression on his face looked extremely vivid.

"So, please help me. I can sacrifice everything for you, even my life. As long as I fulfill my wish, I can even die."

Those words were undoubtedly sincere, Qi Xiu thought in his heart.

There was no one around him, but his fiery gaze fell on the empty space. The face filled with smiles and sincerity gradually lost its color. He just looked at everything in front of him blankly.

He had to admit the fact that no one would accept his request.

Dink kept watching this scene and couldn't help laughing when he saw this, but his eyes were cold.

"I gave you a chance, but if you can't do it yourself, it's not my fault. It's all your own choice."

"Not only you, but also me, are where we are today because of our own choices."

As if he was mocking or talking, he raised his head with a hint of pleasure in his eyes.

Then, he let out a breath, and a complex look flashed in his eyes. In fact, these words were not only spoken to Yang Zizai, but also spoke from somewhere in his heart.

Dink's frantic posture slowly dissipated, and his eyes became rational again.

The smile, arrogance, and arrogance gradually fell off Dink's face. He shook his head and laughed, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

He put down his hand, and the white hair fell silently, blocking his face. Dink turned his head and no longer looked at the figure.

Qi Xiu was still watching. Perhaps because the distance between the two was too far, Yang Zizai, who had been waiting for the next person, did not come over. He just stayed not far from the gate, carrying out his fruitless task. persuade.

"...What if I hadn't come here?" Qi Xiu suddenly asked.

"Then I definitely won't care, because I'm actually quite indifferent." Anri smiled, but there wasn't much emotion on his face, he just looked into the distance as if he were watching a good show.

Qi Xiu thought silently about showing that gesture before, but he actually understood that Anli probably just felt something in his heart, but he didn't really feel pity for the other party.

As Anri himself said, he is actually a very indifferent person. Probably, if he had not watched the other person grow up, the relationship between the two would definitely not be the same as it is now. They can curse each other and make some jokes. talk.

'Well, do you want to die? '

Involuntarily, Anli's attitude with a smile on his face but extremely indifferent eyes flashed through his mind. That kind of elegant manner, but looking down like a gaze, Qi Xiu shook his head in his heart.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Facing Anli's confused gaze, Qi Xiu smiled amusedly.

"It's nothing, just thinking about some small things." Qi Xiu casually responded, but his eyes suddenly paused and looked at the few people walking slowly in the distance.

At the front was a figure that looked like it was made of ice and snow.

Her frost-colored hair hangs down behind her. Her face is expressionless under her elegant and demure pace. Her frosty eyes, which are the same color as her hair, stare straight ahead, as if nothing can move her.

Qi Xiu frowned slightly and dug out a rumor from his memory. This hair color seemed to be exclusive to a certain family.

Beside her was a slightly backward figure.

Her blond hair was fluttering in the air like the rising sun. She was wearing a long azure dress with golden lines. She had an extremely mature and gentle smile on her face, and her light green eyes were as bright as gems.

The two of them were talking and laughing along the way... In fact, it was just the latter talking unilaterally, but because the other party advanced the conversation too naturally, you wouldn't notice the strangeness at a glance.

Of course, the former would slightly nod from time to time as a response, but he never spoke.

Far behind the two people, there were three figures walking. The one walking in the middle was a thin boy, and the two children next to him followed the former silently.

Yang Zizai's eyes lit up, he pinched the corners of his clothes with his hands hanging by his sides, took another breath, and walked towards the approaching people.

The boy with a gentle smile turned his eyes and moved forward, blocking the girl's front.

"My friend, do you have anything important to do? If it's not urgent, I can discuss it with you here and let my companion report first."

The gentle boy's tone was gentle, and he laid the foundation of the conversation in just a few words.

Yang Zizai's expression was blank, and then he looked at the girl hesitantly.

The latter remained unmoved and continued to move forward. The gentle boy smiled, but his originally kind eyes could not help but become sharp.

Yang Zizi got out of the way, but the girl still said nothing and just walked towards Dink.

The gentle boy's expression became warm, and he nodded friendly to Yang Zizai.

"In order to have a smooth conversation with each other, you can call me by my first name. Yes, just call me Fait. Conversation is very important, isn't it, my friend." Fait's expression was cordial, like a relative or friend of the other party. generally.

"...Oh." Yang Zizi responded in a low voice, shaking his body uncomfortably. He felt a little itchy on his body.

The three people behind him immediately felt that Yang Zizai was about to step forward to talk, but saw the leader waving his hands, with a look of resistance on his face, the same expression as those who had refused before.

His expression changed slightly, and he immediately stopped in place, clenching his fists involuntarily, and even the exposed fingertips turned a little white.

"............" The thin boy in the lead turned on his toes and fired directly from the side. Only the two people who were originally following him had some hesitation on their faces and some pity in their eyes. Look at the silent opponent.

"Sam, Jiamusi, follow."

The thin boy didn't look back, he just called to the two people who were a little hesitant.

The person on the left sighed, grabbed the palm of the person on the right, and hurried forward.

Yang Zizi, who was in a trance, heard the conversation between the two.

"Before we came here, my mother told us to listen to Brother Mulko. You must not forget it, otherwise you will be punished if you turn around."

"...I know." The person on the right drawled in a long tone. Although a trace of dissatisfaction briefly showed on his face, it was quickly suppressed by himself.

The two hurriedly ran forward. The thin boy named 'Mulko' took one look at the two and immediately began to negotiate with Dink.

For some reason, the girl who had arrived before was standing there silently, not talking to Dink. Maybe she was waiting for another person, Mulko glanced at him and thought silently in his heart.

Such guys are often members of the big families in the federation. After enrolling in school, it is better to stay away from this guy. Mulko made up his mind and did not show anything strange on his face.

Soon, after completing the qualification review and registration, Mulko entered the school with his two companions.

"...That's it. No wonder, the risk is indeed there, and we can't blame everyone for being too indifferent." After hearing the request, Fait's eyes flashed with thoughts, and his voice became softer.

Yang Zizai looked at the other party, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"I--"

"I'm really sorry. If it was just me, it would be fine, but it can't be done now." Fait smiled kindly, but refused very firmly. He looked forward, and the expressionless girl looked at him calmly.

"I'm sorry that I can't help you, but if you have other problems, I can -" Fait changed the subject and began to comfort the other party.

"...Hmm." Yang Zizai responded calmly, stepped forward, and left the other party's side.

Fait shook his head slightly, and then walked forward. After a while, he reunited with the girl. He looked at Dink on the side and began to negotiate skillfully. Dink was surprised and didn't say much, so he helped the two of them get it done quickly.

Soon, the two of them disappeared into the First Union Hospital one after another.

Yang Zizai stood there alone, just staring ahead, his eyes unblinking, with a deep calm on his face, whether it was laughter or sadness, all disappeared from that face.

His almost void eyes fell into space. He shook his head, and shook his head again. He couldn't help but raise his palms and grab his hair. Again and again, Sasha's voice sounded in this silent world.

Whoosh, a wisp of wind blew by, picking up some sand and trying to cling to his legs from time to time.

His movements paused, and his dark eyes looked this way, colliding with Qi Xiu's gaze.

However, contrary to Qi Xiu's expectation, the other party did not come over. He just glanced indifferently and made no further moves.

"Haha." He smiled, and the uncontrollable laughter circled around him. With a smile, it was as if he was a different person with his arms wide open, and his lifeless eyes looked towards this side.

"Then, this is the end for me. I don't know if this drama will bring any joy in the eyes of the judge. However, unfortunately, my performance ends here."

There was an intriguing smile on his face, which looked extremely mysterious under the gaze of others.

"You're right. I shouldn't be fooling around like this anymore. It's time to go back to my original life." Yang Zizai sighed softly and raised his hand to wave to Dink behind him.

Dink shook his head silently and said nothing more.

Yang Zizi smiled, with the smile still on his face. He turned around and walked towards the distance.

That figure was walking in the distance, but the sunlight falling from the sky was not tolerated by him. It was as if the whole person was hiding in the shadows, evil and cold, and only the monotonous sound of footsteps remained the same.

Qi Xiu suddenly realized that this was the case, that's why the other party didn't come over.

He suddenly looked at Anli on one side. There was a smile on the other person's face, and when he saw his eyes, he also showed a slightly doubtful expression.

"I understand." He took a deep look at the other person, and that unmistakable gesture made his heart sink, and then he finally made up his mind.

He shouted loudly to the figure in the distance: "You don't even ask, you attribute others to spectators without authorization. Could it be that your self-esteem trumps the appeal in your heart?!"

The figure paused, and then the face turned around, gritting its teeth, sniffing, eyes red, the muscles on its face twitching, a face mixed with sadness and anger, and then, the pair of gloomy eyes looked at This way.

"Everyone knows that you can help relatives or not. I don't know what your relationship is with him, but since he is a teacher at the First Union College, he won't accept me."

"In the end, even if you say you are not a spectator, you can't do anything."

"...I should have known better." Yang Zizai paused for a moment before slowly shaking his head, his eyes filled with resignation and some strange emotion.

He opened his mouth, then closed it again.

"So, is this the reason for you to give up? It's really outrageous." Qi Xiu looked cold, as if he was scolding, "Some people once said that I am weak at heart, but in my opinion, you are more in line with that evaluation."

"Coward, ground bug, death moth, just leave alone like this, in some deserted corner, and die with the pain that no one wants to know. That is the ending that suits you best."

"If you want a perfect ending, stop being so naive. You don't deserve it, you idiot."

Qi Xiu's tone was cold, and extremely cunning words spewed out from his mouth one after another, piercing straight into the gray eyes.

Yang Zizi smiled, but it was an extremely bitter smile.

"Then tell me, what should I do?" He smiled self-deprecatingly, and then looked over with a trace of despair in his eyes.

"We need two teachers." Qi Xiu said solemnly.

Yang Zi was stunned, his expression looking a little dazed.

Qi Xiuqu raised his eyes, looked at someone watching the excitement, and raised two fingers.

"There's another one, go find it."

Anli smiled helplessly.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm going to catch one right away." He stepped forward and swayed into the First Lian Yuan.

"Why..." Yang Zizai looked here, his lips trembling involuntarily.

"It's an insurance, you don't have to worry about it." Qi Xiu shook his head, Yang Zizai's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.

Not long after, Anri dragged someone here, talking carelessly and rubbing his cheeks.

"I'm coming."

A dark-faced figure followed behind, looking at Anri with a very stern look.

"My 'best' friend, Li Mu, is good at everything. The only shortcoming is that he doesn't like to talk." Anli looked at the other party with an air of dignity, and the words he spoke sounded extremely serious.

Li Mu had a cold face, but did not turn around and leave.

Qi Xiu shook his head and walked in front of Dink first.

"I want to register, and by the way, I will vouch for that person."

"...I understand." Dink nodded and said businesslikely.

The smiling Anli pulled Li Mu, who looked unhappy, and wrote their names on the subsequent paperwork. Yang Zizai looked at that scene with an obscure light flashing in his eyes.

"That's it, it's very simple." Qi Xiu tilted his head and looked at the silent Yang Zizai.

The latter was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on his face, with water splashing faintly in his eyes.

"Yes."

He stroked his chest gently, and the heart that had stopped long ago regained some vitality and was injecting 'fresh' vitality into his whole body.

Yes, he whispered in his heart, and at the same time, he silently made a vow.

The heart was trembling, and it was like a deafening loud sound pouring into the depths of the brain one after another.

puff.

puff.

puff.

Then he opened his eyes.
