Ninety-three, chaotic thoughts (4)

  I lifted up my head, above me, in the night sky, a few stars were scattered and twinkling.

  It makes me feel even colder.

  I hugged my arms tightly.

  Tears flowed silently.

  I just stood there motionless.

  After an unknown period of time, suddenly, the phone rang.

  It suddenly dawned on me.

  Ouyang Xiao? My blood also froze instantly.

  That's right, it was her call.

  She must have come to tell me that she had just accepted a proposal from Mashang, and wanted me to share her joy.

  Alas. I sighed inwardly.

  Trembling, I pressed the answer button.

  In my heart, apart from sorrow and pain, there is still sorrow and pain.

  Nothing is more sorrowful than the death of one's heart, perhaps it is just like this.

  "Mo Xian," Ouyang Xiao's voice was a bit urgent, "what's going on? You picked up the phone so slowly."

  "Was it Ma Dai who just called you?" I asked, trying to calm down.

  "Are you cold? You seem like you're sniffing, didn't you catch a cold?" Ouyang Xiaoxiao asked with concern over the phone.

  "I'm fine, hmm, did that burlap sack just call you?" I asked in a deliberately calm and collected tone.

  "Yes, he has been talking with me for almost an hour. When you called, he was still chatting with me."

  "So, did you accept it or refuse it?"

  As if on his last breath, he summoned all his strength and uttered this sentence with a faint whisper.

  Then I felt an eerie silence around me, and I heard my heart pounding wildly, almost bursting out of my chest.

  The whole world seemed to have vanished in an instant.

  "Rejected," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao almost without thinking.

  "Refused?" I almost exclaimed out loud.

  "Yes, what's up? Hmm, the burlap sack has also told you, right? Although this is a big blow to your friendship, I think it's better to directly refuse. Love should be swift and decisive, otherwise it will be very troublesome if it's dragged on."

  "Then, then, should I call him now and comfort him a bit?"

  "It's enough, I've already told him everything that needs to be said. You'd better not call him again, or he'll just get hurt and upset all over again. When it comes to feelings, there's no way to say who's right or wrong - when someone rejects you, one person gets hurt, and the other person's mood isn't going to be great either."

  "Uh, well, you're in a bad mood, so I won't say much more to you. Since the final result is rejection rather than acceptance, I'm at ease."

  My mood suddenly became incredibly relaxed, and I even felt like humming a little nocturne.

  But in an instant, I couldn't help but scold myself again. After all, Ouyang Xiao refused the beggar, and I was gloating, which made me seem like a person who forgets righteousness when they see beauty.

  Just as I was once again torn with conflicting emotions, Ouyang Xiao Xiao spoke up.

  "What's going on? Mu Xian, I don't understand what you're saying?" On the other end of the phone, Ouyang Xiao Xiao asked in confusion.

  "Oh, oh, oh, nothing, I just wanted to say that since the gunny sack and you are both fine, I can rest assured." I stammered, hastily explaining.

  "I know you're worried about Mòdài, after all, you two are such good friends. Besides, Mòdài is a very straightforward and righteous person, he's really great, definitely many other girls would want to marry him. Don't worry about him, I know what to say, over the phone, I've said everything that needs to be said, he might feel down for a few days but his mood will pick up soon."

  "I'm relieved then." I said in agreement with her.

  To be honest, Ou Yang Xiao Xiao's words dispelled a lot of the guilt in my heart.

  However, when I wanted to say something more, I found that there was almost nothing left to say.

  Suddenly, I thought of myself following Gao Xue Lin's lie, coming down to buy drinks. If I stayed downstairs for too long, she would definitely be suspicious.

  Now I know Ou Yang Xiao Xiao refused the sack, that's what I wanted to know.

  That's enough already.

  "Thinking of this, I said, 'Well, okay, it's settled then, I'm hanging up.'"

  "You hang up, I'll hang up too. The bag called me and my phone battery is almost dead. Hmm, hang up, you go to sleep early, don't worry about the bag, I said what I should say, he will be sad for a few days and then it's fine."

  "I'm out of here, goodbye."

  "Goodbye."

  I hung up the phone and tears flowed down again.
