Beauty across the cloud

Chapter 74 Butterflies and Flowers

=========================

Yan Xueyu and Fu Xiaoyun were still a family in the generation of their great-grandfather, so they could be regarded as distant cousins, so they did have a bit of blood relationship.But they have not seen each other for many years, at least they have seen each other a few times at family banquets, and they are separated by several tables.

After Yan Xueyu finished her college entrance examination, her family found out that the Fu family's daughter was in the same school as her.Now you have to come and go if you don't come and go.So the two families held a high-level party alone, and pushed the two children to the table.As if recognizing relatives, tell the boy that this is the older sister; tell the girl that this is the younger brother.

At that time, Fu Xiaoyun was already quite beautiful, she smiled at Yan Xueyu through a strip of crab noodles.The big waves of the shawl, the elegant nude makeup, the lotus root pink dress, and a pearl necklace, the shiny luster is just right for her smile.

No matter how you look at it, she should be a well-educated and sensible girl from a well-known family.

She said softly, "It's not a few years old, just call her by name."

Yan's father and Yan's mother nodded with a smile, and said, "Xueyu and you study the same major. If there is anything you don't understand, let him learn more from you."

"I also don't understand a lot." Fu Xiaoyun stood up and offered Yan Xueyu a cup of tea, "Xueyu, let's learn from each other."

It couldn't be more polite.

At that time, Yan Xueyu was a little surprised when she saw this distant cousin who was so well-mannered.He was surprised that this legendary cousin was really different from the legend.

Although there have been no actual exchanges in the past few years, rumors and news have not stopped moving.When he was in junior high school or high school, there were several occasional opportunities where he heard the elders talk about the rebellious behavior of the girl from the Fu family, including skipping class, playing games in Internet cafes, falling in love early, and getting eight or nine slaps on the ears. Ear piercing.

The reason why he can hear this is because the next sentence is often "It's still Xueyu who has a good personality and never gets distracted by those messy things. Xueyu, being free from distracting thoughts is a precious quality, you must discipline yourself ah".

So did this so-called rebellious girl suddenly change her gender?He didn't understand, but it had nothing to do with him.

His eyes are still, his heart is as calm as the sea.

Yan Xueyu took the cup of tea and said, "Hello, sister."

The two elders looked at each other and smiled.

That was the only sister.

See you later at the college orientation.When Fu Xiaoyun walked in front of him, he said first, "Hi, Senior Sister."

From sister to senior sister, Fu Xiaoyun already understood what he meant.So from undergraduate to postgraduate, no one knew the dispensable relationship between them.

At this moment, he took the initiative to mention the word "sister" again, and the smile on Fu Xiaoyun's face froze.She is a smart person, and immediately understood that Yan Xueyu's words meant more than just taking a walk.

"What's the matter with you?" Fu Xiaoyun asked now, just as he offered the cup of tea back then.

"Just a walk." The north wind blew, and both of them felt a little cold.Yan Xueyu narrowed her eyes slightly, with a smile on her lips: "Is there any inconvenience?"

Seeing his expression, Fu Xiaoyun also smiled, and her eyes lingered over Yan Xueyu's body, as if she was re-evaluating this cousin who was not close to her: "Okay, then let's go."

The two walked along the main road on the central axis of the school, with tall trees on both sides, now hidden in the night, most of the leaves had fallen off, leaving only clumps of dead branches.When the wind passed by, there were some not-so-clear friction sounds, which were unpleasant to hear.The two of them are extremely eye-catching characters on weekdays, but it was already late and no one noticed them.

But even if someone misunderstands it, it's okay. With Fu Xiaoyun's popularity, it's easy to explain.Besides, she is usually very kind to everyone, and there are many people who are willing to clarify for this goddess-like senior sister.

Yan Xueyu didn't greet her, but went straight to the point: "I heard that you broke up with Wen Yue?"

As soon as these words came out, Fu Xiaoyun's pace slowed down, but the smile on her face became wider: "Yeah, it's still... not suitable enough."

She didn't take the initiative to tell anyone about it, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't hide it.But so what if you can't hide it, she is so perfect, no one will blame her, even if someone breaks up with her, it will only be the other party's fault.

So she didn't exchange pleasantries, and she didn't pick up those innocuous topics, but asked: "You have been running out this year, don't you plan to continue reading?"

Yan Xueyu nodded, and he was very frank: "I am not suitable for scientific research. This year, I have been helping my family with business."

"How could it not be suitable?" Fu Xiaoyun stopped and said seriously: "I have met your mentor a few times, and it is a pity that he mentioned you. He admires your mind very much." In addition, it is a thoughtful meaning to worry about other people's future.

"It's not suitable, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't keep up with it." Yan Xueyu also stopped, "If you don't like it, it's also not suitable, isn't it?"

The school's street lights were in disrepair for a long time, and they were on and off. In the bright and dark, the faint tree shadows spread across the faces of the two of them. When they looked at each other, it seemed that an undercurrent was surging.

The two walked to the school's activity hall, which was brightly lit, and there were clubs rehearsing upstairs and downstairs. It seemed that they were preparing for the Spring Festival Gala.

Music flows from top to bottom.It seems that there is an orchestra practicing in the orchestra hall upstairs.

When Yan Xueyu came here, she suddenly couldn't move.He stopped and listened for a while, then smiled and said to Xiaoyun: "I like this song, let's go in and stay for a while."

Fu Xiaoyun was slightly taken aback, she had never seen Yan Xueyu's expression like this before.The person who has always been indifferent and taciturn, when he said "like", his face seemed to suddenly brighten, and the eyebrows that were already good-looking finally did not look like a static painting hanging, but became vivid. The mountains and rivers are warm and businesslike.

She also recognized the piece, "...Thesecondwaltz. So, you like Shostakovich?"

"No, I only like this one." Yan Xueyu walked quickly into the event hall, Fu Xiaoyun had to follow behind him, and the two walked in one behind the other in the wind and snow.

The ensemble on the second floor was playing waltz, and the dance club in the hall on the first floor took advantage of the east wind to practice the waltz one-on-one during the free break time. One of the school girls recognized Fu Xiaoyun and hurried up to say hello: " Is sister Yun coming to dance too?"

As she spoke, she looked up at her "boyfriend", but she didn't expect that it was not Wen Yue, but another boy who was surprisingly handsome, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fu Xiaoyun smiled and said, "This is my junior brother, we just..."

"Senior Sister," Yan Xueyu said, "Can I invite you to dance?"

As he said that, he bowed his body, made a gesture to invite his female partner to enter the dance floor, and extended his hand to Fu Xiaoyun.

Fu Xiaoyun hesitated.

Yan Xueyu said flatly: "It's fine if the senior sister can't dance."

The hall on the first floor is very wide, with dozens of chandeliers on it, Yan Xueyu stood under one of them, and the bright light shone on his whole body.A handsome and tall man with bright lights behind him.But Fu Xiaoyun felt that she couldn't see him more and more clearly. "Coincidentally, I took a few ballroom dancing classes when I was an undergraduate. But I didn't dance well, so don't laugh at me." She chuckled softly in her heart, put her coat and bag aside, and put her hand on Yan Xueyu's .

Forward and backward, swap slides, tilt and spin.Both of them are not good at dancing, and only know some basic dance steps, but their posture and appearance are so pleasing to the eye, so after a while, they attracted several lower grade students to watch.Some people recognized Fu Xiaoyun, or Yan Xueyu, and took out their mobile phones to record videos.The male god and the goddess dance together, but it is a rare scene.

The ensemble upstairs starts from the keyboard, then strings, and then brass.Yan Xueyu's hand lightly embraced Fu Xiaoyun's waist, leading her to spin around and keep walking.The two are not close to each other, but they have their own concerns.The steps are in sync, but the bodies are against each other, so that the movements appear stiff.Fu Xiaoyun's smile was superficial, not sincere.As for Yan Xueyu, he was so used to being cold that his eyes were slightly softer, as if he was smiling.

While spinning, Fu Xiaoyun's beautiful hair fluttered down from her shoulders like a thick and smooth silk.

After turning around again, Yan Xueyu approached her and whispered in her ear: "So, why did you report Jin Lan's article?"

After saying this sentence, he left quickly, leaving Fu Xiaoyun alone, frozen in his arms.

She couldn't be surprised, couldn't be angry, couldn't just push him away and turn around and leave.

There were several people around who were videotaping and taking pictures.People gathered around them, whispering or envious.

There's so much she can't do.

She was actually kidnapped by a dancer.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" she said, lowering her voice.

"Sister," Yan Xueyu's always cold and emotionless voice softened, as if comforting, but it sounded more provocative to Fu Xiaoyun: "Don't be nervous, I'm just curious, what happened to make you change so much ?”

"What's none of your business?" She almost gritted her teeth.

Another sliding step, Yan Xueyu had a chance to get close to her, and he could smell the nice perfume on her body.He said: "Your hairstyle is to cover up the eight or nine ear piercings you got in high school, isn't it? After all, you always have to explain it when you see it. It's quite troublesome."

The last note is finally played, and the song is over.All the dancing people stopped at this moment to greet the onlookers.There was applause from all around. It was originally just an impromptu dance, but now it really seems to be participating in some grand dance party.

But she seemed to be a beat behind, still thinking about what Yan Xueyu said just now.

Yan Xueyu let her go, smiled and said to her: "Thank you. I am very happy." After speaking, he wanted to leave.

This time, Fu Xiaoyun didn't care about the school girl who came up to talk to her, but picked up her coat and bag and chased after her.Finally, at an empty corner, she yelled at the man in front of him who was walking by himself regardless of her image: "How do you know that!"

Yan Xueyu finally stopped.He turned around in the night.

He turned around leisurely, "You mean, are you targeting Jin Lan secretly?"

"I didn't target him." Fu Xiaoyun put on her coat and approached him.She said almost word by word: "Am I not good enough for him? That chance to go abroad..."

"That's what you don't need. Isn't it?" Yan Xueyu looked at her with pity: "You just need such a chance to show your generosity."

"I'm generous, am I wrong?" She finally sorted out her expression, and put on that impeccable smile again. "Why are you so nervous about your good friend? You..."

"You know several editors, and unfortunately I do too." Yan Xueyu interrupted her: "You discovered the flaws in Jin Lan's article, and you reported it to the editor in the name of academic fraud. However, it was you who In front of the editor, I fought for an opportunity for him to only revise and not reject the manuscript."

Fu Xiaoyun has slowly calmed down at this moment, and she has turned back into that senior sister who will not have emotional fluctuations and always has a gentle smile.She said: "But, isn't this a normal process? Whether it's pointing out his mistakes or fighting for opportunities for him, it's what I should do. I can neither cover him nor watch him because that doesn't count. What a terrible mistake to lose the opportunity? Xueyu, did I do something wrong?"

Yan Xueyu listened patiently to her, and then nodded in approval: "I didn't say you did something wrong. Just wait a minute, are you really the reviewer for that article?"

Fu Xiaoyun's whole body froze again.

"You didn't come to review the article, but you should have read it long ago. You have a friendship with the editor, so you skipped the process and pointed out the mistake directly."

"It's not a big deal to cross the process, Xueyu, the flaws in his article really exist. If he doesn't revise it before it's published, and it's pointed out after it's published, he won't be the only one who loses face."

"It makes sense, so you haven't done anything wrong from the beginning to the end. You can't do really bad things. It's too low-level to do bad things. You can only do good things, our senior sister."

Fu Xiaoyun looked at her silently, her well-manicured nails dug deeply into the flesh.However, the dull pain in the palm of her hand was not as good as the uneasiness in her heart. She couldn't figure out why this person who was always keen to stay out of things suddenly attacked her today.

The two stood in place for a long time, and a thin layer of snow accumulated on their shoulders.Yan Xueyu raised her hand and lightly brushed off the snow particles from Fu Xiaoyun's shoulders.

"Sister, you are too involved in the drama, you are too obsessed with being a perfect good person. I guess it is the rumors of Jin Lan and Wen Yue that have damaged your image? After all, some people guess that you will be jealous because of Wen Yue. Then target Jin Lan, how is this possible? But you just can't bear this little flaw. So you need one thing, one thing that makes Jin Lan suffer, and then you come to save him, right?

"First you pretend to compete with him for the same opportunity to go abroad, and then point out the mistakes in his article to the editor at the right time, and then be a good person who falls from the sky. In the end, it's okay even if he really doesn't have time to revise, because you don't need that go abroad at all. Opportunity, I've inquired about it, you didn't lose the selection passively, but you withdrew your application in the end, right?"

"From the beginning to the end, you are the one who understands righteousness and ignores previous suspicions. After this incident, everyone will only think you are better."

After he finished speaking, he sighed softly, as if he really felt sorry for her: "It turns out that a perfect image is worth your efforts to maintain, or is it that you've been used to this kind of thing for a long time?"

"I didn't do anything wrong! That mistake was made by himself!" Fu Xiaoyun finally couldn't hold back anymore, her beautiful face was shaken by the momentum of anger, her beautiful eyes were wide open, and her eyes were terrified.

"Yes, so you just took advantage of his mistake." Yan Xueyu looked away, and he looked up at the moon.

His tone was still so flat, "Actually, you are right. If this mistake is discovered later, it will hit him far more than it was discovered at the time."

"I'm just curious, why? You weren't like this before. You're a butterfly, what kind of plastic flower?"

Fu Xiaoyun stared at him blankly for a while, then lowered her head, pursed her lips, and smiled as if no one was there.The cold wind poured into the neckline, she took a step back and tightened the clothes on her body.

"I don't want your sympathy." She smiled in the wind and snow, her perfect smile was chilled, and her soft eyes seemed to have entered winter in an instant. The ice edge that pierces through people. "You should worry about yourself more when you have time. I just remembered, the second waltz, it was the school bell before."

Her tone was no longer soft and steady, but became mocking: "This is really not something you would care about. Will he know that you have done this for him behind your back?"

The moon is hidden among the clouds, like a half-melted ice wheel, leaving only a little light, just like a beauty covering her face, leaving her eyes full of affection.

"I do what I want, what does it have to do with him." Yan Xueyu said without expression, "I'll give you a suggestion, don't make yourself so tired again."

"I haven't done a single bad thing—whether you believe it or not." Fu Xiaoyun glanced at him, then turned and left.

The wind lifted a lock of her hair, revealing her white earlobe.There are several small holes on it. After a long time, even if you don't wear earrings, they won't grow.

Yes, she was not wrong, she never wanted to target Jin Lan, on the contrary, it was she who worked hard for him to get the chance to modify.Isn't this the utmost benevolence?

She has been working hard to be a perfect senior sister, how can this be wrong?Don't they want to see Fu Xiaoyun who smokes and drinks heavily and spends her days playing online games?If not, then why would you accuse her of being too hypocritical after she worked hard to correct and get better?

Even Juan Ruo couldn't accuse her.Even though she was the one who was with Sui Feng at that time, she didn't know that she was the third party in someone else's relationship.

She never wants to do bad things.

At that time, if Juan Ruo died of illness, Sui Feng left her account and disappeared.She finally knew the truth, and for this she was hit hard and suffered a lot.In order to avoid everything, she deleted her account, grew her hair to cover her pierced ears, and turned to study hard, trying to become a person who can't make mistakes.

She can be perfect.When she thought she was perfect, she didn't have to think so much about whether the other girl's illness had something to do with her.

Later, she only went to Sui Feng's account once, just because she saw Luo Weiqiu.She wondered how powerful Juanruo's apprentice is now, but when she searched for news about him on the forum, she saw someone scolding Sisi for protecting her as a friend of the mistress, and for this she did not hesitate to fight with others.At that time, she thought that when she knew that she was "being mistressed", no one spoke for her, no one protected her.

Even she herself can't defend herself, she can only escape.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyun felt that her legs were getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn't move anymore.The snow did not accumulate very thickly, but every step she took felt wet and heavy, making it difficult for her to move.

She stood not far away and turned around.Yan Xueyu didn't leave where she was, maintaining a posture of watching her off, as if she had expected her to turn around a long time ago.

"Did I really do something wrong?" she asked, not very loudly, but he heard it.

Yan Xueyu replied calmly: "I don't care, it's up to you whether you want to be a flower or a butterfly. Also, I like the second waltz just because it sounds good, there is no other reason."
