To The Lovely You

  In the KTV box, the music was deafening, and a group of men and women were dancing the most exciting dances on the screen.

  The box is very dark, only the constantly changing spotlights cast different shades of light and shadow on the walls.

   Ke Shaoze leaned crookedly on the sofa, holding a microphone in his hand, roaring songs that Su Rourou didn't understand along with the loud music.

   That is entirely because he is not singing at all, but is roaring, as if to vent the depression that has been accumulated in his heart for a long time.

   At the moment when the box door was opened, when he saw her appear in front of him, he was suddenly stunned...

   The microphone in his hand slid to the ground. A pair of eyes that were a little blurred because of drinking, instantly became clear: "Rou... Brother Rou...?"

   He must be dreaming because he drank too much alcohol? How could she take the initiative to come to him? If this was a dream, he hoped that he would never wake up in his life.

   He stared blankly at her walking towards him under the slowly moving light and shadow, forgetting where he was and what year it was today...

   She was wearing a very ordinary pale pink down jacket, but the pink color made her skin like sebum and her cheeks like peaches and plums. He hadn't seen her for over a month. She's still so beautiful, still so cute...

   Although the winter vacation of more than one month is too short for most students. But to him who missed her day and night, it was like a lifetime.

   He always thought that seeing her was just an illusion until her familiar voice sounded in his ear.

   "Ke Shaoze...you're leaving, why don't you tell me!"

   When Su Rourou said these words, her voice choked unconsciously. She glared at him fiercely, wishing to rush up and punch him in the stomach like she did in the past.

   "So...it wasn't a dream. You finally came." Ke Shaoze muttered to himself, answering the question.

  Su Rourou was so angry that her voice raised an octave again: "What about what I asked you! Are you... planning to leave so quietly?"

  Ke Shaoze looked at her in a trance, as if he wished to engrave all her frowns and smiles in his mind.

   "I'm gone, do you care?" His voice contained a hint of sadness and a hint of self-deprecation.

   "Yes! Of course I will care!" Su Rourou said loudly towards him, a hazy mist was already floating in her big eyes.

   "Really?" Ke Shaoze's mouth had a slight smile, but with a heartache, "Then I'm gone, will you miss me?"

   "Yes! Of course I will miss you!" Su Rourou looked at him firmly and said with great certainty, "Because, we are friends! We are... buddies!"

   Ke Shaoze's smile was even more bitter: "It turns out, it's because of this..."

   But soon, his bitter smile gradually disappeared: "However, at least it's still buddy, at least you still care about me..."

   The two just stared at each other silently for a while, quietly looking into each other's eyes... For a while, the music in the box was still noisy, but the world around them seemed to be quiet in an instant.

   Hou Xiaofeng has been working hard to shrink in the farthest corner of the sofa, trying to play the role of air.

   I don't know if it was because the atmosphere was too sad, even he, who had always been heartless, felt a little bit of heartache.

   "Damn, love is such a scary thing! Even people like Ke Shaoze can become like this!" He whispered softly, silently admonishing himself in his heart, "I will never touch this thing in the future!"

   At this time, the playing music suddenly became softer. It was a song with a touch of sadness, a song about youth, and the first song he ever sang for her.

   "Brother Rou, let me sing this song for you... once more!" Ke Shaoze leaned down and stopped looking at her, picking up the microphone that had slipped on the ground.
