Heartbreaker

four years ago.

"Your playing is messy, Lemon. Is there anything bothering you lately?"

Gessen sat next to me and re-demonstrated the fingering for me on the harp.He tied his long hair into a bundle, and his white and graceful fingers reminded me of another pair of soft little hands in my memory.The night concealed my embarrassment for me, and I tried to dispel the image of Yangtao that had been lingering in my mind for a long time, and focused my attention on the silver-white strings.

And then Airon came.He reeked of alcohol, staggered, might have just come out of some party, looked like a drunk, or a drunk with the powder on his dress.What an unlucky night.The strings of the zither trembled at my fingertips, but Airon didn't look at me. He smiled and picked up Gesun's long bundled hair, and put it on his lips for a kiss.

"Gerson, you haven't taught me the lute for a long time."

Gesun said coldly, "I don't have the energy to deal with a student who is against me everywhere."

"Don't be like this, teacher." Ai Rong squatted down, his tall body made Ge Sen look thin.He leaned into Gessen's ear and whispered, "You know, I prefer to 'play' on your alluring rear end."

At that time, I didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but Geshen stood up suddenly, and through the moonlight, I saw the flushing of his face intertwined with embarrassment.Airon leaned against the marble pillar, raised one leg and laughed loudly.Gesun clenched his fists and said softly to me, "Lemon, I'm going back first. Remember to calm down before playing the harp."

Ai Rong laughed loudly, "You can't even breathe steadily, Gesen."

Gerson glared at him and walked away from the rude fellow.The night wind blew the branches of the trees rustling, and Ai Rong was sitting behind me, humming drunkenly, which made me extremely uncomfortable.Just as I was about to leave, he suddenly pressed his heavy body towards me, his two arms like iron rings tightly wrapped around my shoulders.

"Don't go, Lemon." He said in a deep voice, "Play a song for me."

Damn, he won't let me go.I almost sat down and cried thinking about what crazy things he might do to me next.I plucked the strings under the bone-pale moonlight, and the melody and tone were so bleak, like a boat trapped in the vast sea, let the wind blow the sun, rain and snow.I looked up at the silent night sky, the stars were as dim as worn diamonds, and invisible iron bars locked me here.I wanted to break through it, leave it, first I broke my limbs, and then my heart was broken, until my body was bloody, the heavy shackles were still firmly on my shoulders, and it became Ai Rong's arms and legs that imprisoned me. body.

I stopped my fingers and twisted my body to resist, but I heard him suddenly say, "Lymon, brother loves you."

Satan, even if I have eight mouths, it's hard to describe the abnormality and shock.Airon pulled my swollen face and suddenly bit my cheek like a mad beast.bite.The kind of ferocity that wants to swallow me down.I was dizzy from the smell of alcohol around him, and I still remember punching him in the stomach.

"Are you swatting mosquitoes?"

Ai Rong laughed loudly, and quickly suppressed my body, using the most practical locking technique in fighting skills.My scream was blocked back into my throat by his hot palm.Ai Rong hiccupped, and smiled ecstatically, "Why is it my younger brother, Lemon? If you were a girl, you wouldn't be my enemy, but my bride..."

I clenched the lyre that was flung aside, and swung it hard at Airon's head!I swear that hit me like hell.Ai Rong lay on top of me like a dead dog, I kicked him away, stumbled back to the house, and left the lyre there.I hesitated for a moment, but still didn't bring it back.

That was a decision I regret.

****

——I became the you I hate the most, Airon.

I stood in front of Airon's grave, stepped on the cold and simple tombstone, and laughed.Yangtao stood behind me, watching me vigilantly, "A tomb?"

"The grave." I nodded, took off the shovel behind my back, and skillfully dug the soft soil.The outline of the black coffin emerged from the soil, Yangtao squatted down cautiously, and lifted the lid.

It contained only a pile of bone fragments, with a blue crystal necklace on top.On the necklace was a slightly larger fragment of a skull that, together, spelled out the word "Arrow".

****

Great poets have always praised love, whether with lilies with hanging petals or roses with bloody rot.I can always hear from the snarky servants how Airon and Yangtao are arguing.Ai Rong never lacks girls who admire him, but Yang Tao's eyes seem to be indifferent to everything.I run into her all the time, and there are only a few places where maybe a lonely person goes.

After I beat Airon with my harp for the first time that night, I could often see Yangtao sitting under a sun-dappled tree and meditating.She was writing something ecstatically in a notebook, wearing an emerald green dress, her pure blue eyes were like a spotless blue sky.She sat there quietly, like an elf in a fairy tale, engraved deep in my pupils.

Airon never took the initiative to come to her, but this time he appeared, riding his silver-white steed.He looks like he's glowing in a silver-and-white tight-fitting gown and gold pendants.A prince charming with the heart of a beast, no girl can resist his charm when he smiles.

Yang Tao quickly closed the notebook, and turned her head indifferently.Ai Rong sat beside her leisurely, showing a smile that meant he wanted to play with her.The two said something in a low voice, Ai Rong suddenly grabbed the notebook from Yang Tao's hand and held it high to tease her.Yangtao blushed and jumped to grab it.

They are like a pair of ordinary flirtatious lovers.Then I saw the beast throwing away the notebook, hugging the elf in my heart, riding Juechen together, and disappearing into the warm sunshine in the forest.

I stayed where I was, silent for a long time, and finally found what I could do—picked up the notebook like a thief, and opened the pages full of Yangtao's delicate handwriting.

"...I heard the sound of the piano from somewhere in the garden that night. It was shrill, lonely, but full of longing and hope, like a bird struggling to break through the cage, flying to freedom persistently... Hearing that piano sound, I was surprised and wanted to cry. I didn’t expect that there is a soul similar to mine in this world. I want to find that soul so that I will never feel lonely again..."

I don't know if Yangtao is crying, but I know I'm crying.I lay down on the warm and dry land tanned by the sun, my tears soaked the book and smudged the handwriting that belonged to her.

The other half of the soul that should belong to me.

****

"This is the body of Aron Sol."

Leaning on the handle of the shovel, I whistled comfortably, "Are you satisfied?"

Yangtao stared in horror, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and picked up the piece of skull engraved with "Arrow".She put it into her bosom, into her warm chest, and asked me with red eyes, "Why... who put him..."

"It's me, princess!" I could feel the corners of my mouth rising irresistibly - oh why not?But it's so fucking cool!I saw Yangtao's face turned pale, turned livid, and then dyed an angry bright red, as if all the blood from her whole body had poured into her cheeks, it was so bright that it made my stomach hot.

"Princess." I bent down towards her, bent half of my blood-stained lips, and smiled softly, "Do you still remember that you said that Mr. Luo has a beautiful and pure soul?"

I heard her roar of grief and indignation, like a mother animal who lost her child, not at all like her usual indifferent appearance.She slapped me, and I grinned and easily grabbed her flinging arm.The slender wrist can be crushed with a light pinch.She hadn't completely overcome her fear of facing me, and as soon as I grabbed her wrist, she immediately changed from a female beast back to a shivering canary.

I took her hand and brought her warm skin close to my lips.I can feel the delicate skin, the warm blood, and the beating pulse.Her warmth gradually became as cold as a stone under my approach.This is her fresh and beautiful body|body, but she is unwilling to give me even a little warmth.

I suddenly thought of Luo's equally soft but icy body.An icy cooler bent on warming my body.

"You say you like the rain, but you hold an umbrella when it rains..."

I muttered these words in a low voice, Yangtao didn't seem to expect that I would say this poem suddenly.We stood opposite each other, but neither of us looked at each other's faces.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes lightly, and said in a singing voice, "You said you liked the sun, but when the sun was shining, you hid in a cool place... You said you liked the wind, but You close the windows when it's windy. That's why..."

"I'm afraid of you saying that you like me too..."

Her wrists trembled.I gently pulled her closer to me, looked down at her tortured and tormented face, and said with a smile, "Do you like me, Yangtao?"

****

Yangtao's book just fell into my hands.When she was brought back to the palace by Ai Rong, her cheeks were flushed, and her whole body looked radiant. She changed from a frosty elf to a young girl with a spring heart, the eyes that looked at Ai Rong could almost ooze honey.

I hid in the shadows and looked at her sadly.She probably didn't know that it was me who played the harp that night, but mistook it for Airon.I lay down by candlelight and wrote a poem after her words.

I wiped away the tears on my face, and sneaked towards her room, intending to slip her notebook under the door——

A pair of brown suede boots appeared in front of my eyes again.I wondered if Airon was peeking at me like I was peeking at Yangtao.He stepped on my hand, picked up the book a moment before I went to grab it, turned to a new page, and quickly grasped the key.

"..."

Thick and oppressive clouds spread between us, and Ai Rong, a guy who is lazy in reading, actually read my poems word by word.Cold sweat broke out from every pore of my body, soaking my clothes.I was blue and sweaty like I had just been pulled out of the water.Yangtao is Airon's fiancée.This thought rotted in my brain like a maggot, tormenting me terribly, even more than the leather boots that Airon crushed on the back of my hand.

"Ha." Ai Rong chuckled, tore off my signature after the poem, and knocked on Yangtao's door pretending to be unintentional.The blood rushed to the top of my head like boiling, I wanted to escape, but Ai Rong strangled my neck.

"Do you still want to have your other half of the soul? That 'rib' that belongs to you?" Ai Rong gritted his teeth in my ear and said, "Look at your appearance, do you deserve it too?"

"Airon?"

Yang Tao opened the door and was surprised to see Airon and me.I was panicked, tripped by Ai Rong's foot on the ground, and heard Yang Tao's dissatisfied voice, "Ai Rong, don't bully the servants, they are already very pitiful."

Ai Rong said tenderly, "Okay, I understand, Yang Tao. As long as it is your words, I will listen."

He lifted me up and grabbed my body where Yangtao couldn't see.I suppressed the painful cry that almost blurted out, and heard the devil say, "Let's go, little poor ghost."

I left, rubbing the bruised arm pinched by Ai Rong, and heard the other party say behind me, "By the way, Yang Tao, this is the notebook you lost that day..."

****

"I was wrong."

In the cold night, the cold moonlight reflected between Yangtao and me, which was deeper than the ravine in the sea of ​​fire just now.Holding Airon's skull, she took a few steps back and shook her head, "Qin and Shishi can't understand a person thoroughly."

She smiled sadly, as if she was laughing at the predicament in front of her, and at the same time she seemed to be laughing at herself, "Thanks for giving me a chance to recognize you, Mr. Luo."

"You are indeed wrong." I said lazily, "You didn't recognize me."

She glanced at Ai Rong's bones that I had chopped into pieces, pursed her lips, stared at me and said, "You are a villain who deserves to go to hell."

"That's very good of you." I took a step forward, grinned and bared my teeth in Yangtao's terrified retreat, and grabbed her arms with bloodshot eyes, "I'll show you the villain style!"

****

"I didn't even know my brother was such a great poet."

Ai Rong lay on the bed behind me, casually smiled.I lay down at the table, watching Yangtao's reply, my eyes were gradually covered with a layer of moist mist.My choking made Airon's chewing sound stop for a while, when he found out that I was crying because of Yangtao's letter, he stared at me with a half-smile, "Yangtao has already gone back."

"..." I whimpered louder.Yang Tao left, but I didn't even have the courage to say goodbye to her.I cursed myself for being a coward for turning around and running back to the palace when I saw the scene where Ai Rong kissed her forehead as part of goodbye.

All the while, I didn't tell her that there was a boy named Lemon Saul.He is not a poor servant, not a handsome prince, but a person who loves her deeply and wants to be her other half of the soul.

At this moment, Airon grabbed the letter from my hand and angrily tore it to pieces.Yangtao's letters scattered in the air like snowflakes. I was stunned for a moment, then screamed and jumped up from the chair, like a funny clown, crawling on the ground to pick up the pieces of letter paper.

Airon stepped on my arched back and cursed viciously, "You are really like a rolling pig, Lemon Sol." He threw off the crimson cloak, and his boots thumped on the wooden floor Crackling, I left the house amidst my mournful sobs.

And I picked up all the pieces, glued them together, dipped the quill pen in ink, and wrote back for her.

Signed - "Airon Thor".

****

In my opinion, everything stuck in the heart, whether good or bad, is like a malignant tumor that you must mercilessly cut off before it spreads further, even if it costs an organ for it .I poured out all the bone fragments in the coffin, piled them into a white hill, and then pushed Yang Tao hard, pushing her terrified into the empty coffin.

"This is Airon's last nest." I laughed loudly, "Are you comfortable, princess?"

Holding the skull with Airon's name engraved on it, her chest heaved and she stared at me with hatred.I stepped on the side wood of the coffin and shook it teasingly, and she also shook along with it.Being humiliated by me so bare|naked|naked made her calmer. I looked at her calm face with a smile and said, "I like you very much, Your Royal Highness. So I will give you a 'choose one' Opportunity."

I stepped on the shovel, picked up a small piece of bone debris, stared at her and said, "Either come with me, or bury him with him..."

"Let me choose to be with him, you must have overestimated yourself." Yangtao closed her indifferent eyes, resolutely lay down in the coffin, and exhaled, "Do it, I would rather never know you. "

****

I'd rather never have known you.

I once sat on the steps in the middle of the night, facing the moon and missing your figure, your frown and smile, telling my thoughts about you alone.How interesting, a person who has a loved one becomes more lonely and suffers from loneliness even more.They cut my heart like a sharp blade, and my tears seemed to become the cheapest thing in the world.I want to submerge you in my world, I want to cut you open and eat you.Let every inch of your flesh and blood melt into my body, my soul, let you feel my love, my pain, let us no longer seem to be separated from each other, let our souls blend tightly, with one breath You can hear each other's heartbeat in a breath.

I'd rather never know you, Yang Tao.

Fortunately I am long dead.

****

I stopped, and the screeching sound of shoveling Airon's bones stopped.The foreign peach in the coffin moved slightly, her hair and skirt were covered with snow-white bone particles, and under the moonlight, it seemed to be covered with bright white pearls.She curled up in the coffin, hugging her lover, calm and peaceful, like a sleeping saint.

I suddenly burst into laughter, I don't know what I was laughing at, the corners of my mouth twitched, and the stale air in my chest rose and dissipated.I smiled and bent over, leaning on the wooden handle of the shovel, big drops of sweat melting into the dry and cold soil.

I straightened up abruptly, and stepped over Airon's tombstone, through dark nights and nightmares, as if I had finally reached the shore full of flowers after endless floating.There was silence all around, the maroon horse was still snorting not far away, Yang Tao got up from the coffin, bone chips splashed down beside her.

A shovel fell to her side from mid-air, and with a bang, I turned my back to her, laughed and waved my arms.

"Like a bird trying to break through the cage, it flies to freedom with one heart and one mind!... I never thought that there is a soul similar to mine in this world. I want to find that soul, so that I will never I feel lonely..."

As I spoke loudly, there was a hearty, hearty urge to sing all over my body.When Yang Tao heard this, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.Iron's skull fell from her chest, and I never looked back.

Don't look back, just keep going, Lemon Bonespur.

"Goodbye, Princess Peach!" I yelled, saying my final farewell. "There is a guy named Lemon Sol who has always loved you. Although he died two years ago."

I left the horse to her, and followed the moonlight on foot through the wild woods, with only the dead branches under my feet for company.I hummed the tune of the song "The Dragon Wants Me to Die", stroked the handle of my beloved bone-cutting knife, left Huapai Town, which was messed up again by me, and walked to the end of the woods. The dense branches in front of me.

"Ro."

Seeing that quietly standing figure, I paused, and blurted out the call before I thought about it.My true other half of the soul is waiting for me ahead, clutching the bridle of a horse, rustling its black cloak against the silvery moon.I suddenly felt an impulse, opened my arms with a smile, and looked at his silent back through the gap between the moonlight and the earth.

"Lemon!"

When Luo heard my voice, he turned around happily, and galloped towards me under the bright moonlight.
