The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1104 The best time
The room was small, but the walls were surprisingly clean, with no posters on them.

There is still a very faint fragrance left in the air, which is the smell of Gao Xinxin's usual shampoo.

A bed against the wall occupies half of the room. The gray-blue pillows and bedding are a bit messy. It looks like you got up too late and went out in a hurry.

Under the bed is a pull-out drawer, which is Gao Xinxin's small wardrobe. Her underwear and favorite lo-skirts are placed in it, while daily clothes are placed in the wardrobe in her grandma's room.

In front of the window is a small desk with clear curtains dancing. A round multi-clip iron clothes hanger hangs on the anti-theft window outside the window, with several pairs of socks hanging on it.

There is a white art toolbox on the ground next to the desk, filled with brushes and paints. Gao Yang often helps Gao Xinxin carry it, and it is quite heavy.

There is also a spare drawing board in the corner, with an unfinished still life sketch pinned to it with small thumbtacks.

Gao Yang looked at the desk. There was a small photo frame on it. Inside was a family photo. It was a photo taken on the Nurdiv Beach. Wang Zikai was also there.

Grandma and Gao Xinxin held arms with each other and stood in the middle. Mom and dad came closer from left to right. The tallest Wang Zikai and Gao Yang stood behind each other, arms around each other.

There were no clouds in the sky, the water was blue, and the six people in the sun had bright smiles.

There is also a thick sketchbook on the desk.Gao Yang picked up the sketchbook and flipped through it at random. They were all sketches of street figures.

An old woman sitting on a park bench basking in the sun, a cashier woman taking a nap behind the supermarket counter, a salesman uncle sitting on the bus talking on the phone, and a couple walking by the river at night.

The vast majority of sketch subjects are old ladies and middle-aged men and women.

Gao Yang felt a cramp in his chest and was a little out of breath.

He put down his sketchbook, and suddenly, a photo inside slipped onto the table. It was a group photo of Gao Yang, Gao Xinxin, Wang Zikai, and Chu Xue on New Year's Eve last year.

The sunset in the photo is beautiful, but the evening breeze blows suddenly. Everyone's hair is messed up, their smiles are wrinkled, and their hearts are full of waves. It's a "failed" photo full of situations.

In the blank space of the photo, there is a beautiful pen calligraphy:

——What seems like a regret is already the best time.

Gao Yang wanted to pick up the photo, but his hand seemed to be heavy and he couldn't lift it.

His face turned pale and his breathing began to become rapid again. Before the tinnitus filled the world, he turned around and rushed out of the room.

"jingle--"

As soon as Gao Yang returned to the living room, the doorbell rang.

Gao Yang immediately became alert and activated his six senses to the maximum.

There is indeed a person standing outside the door. Judging from the breath, there is no danger.

Gao Yang was not careless and armed himself with the "Golden Holy Clothes", ready to fight or escape at any time.

"jingle--"

The doorbell rang again, and a few seconds later, a voice came from outside the door: "Gao Xinxin, are you at home?"

Gao Yang recognized this voice. It was his sister's high school classmate, Guang Huan.

"You haven't come to school for several days. You and your brother can't get through on the phone. Everyone is worried about you."

"I just passed by your house and found that your curtains were open. Are you at home?"

"If you're at home, just call back, okay?"

Gao Yang stood in the living room and looked at the entrance door quietly.

"Gao Xinxin, if you are at home, please listen to me. I am not a pervert. I am just really worried about you, so I come to your house every day when I go to and from school..."

"I suddenly fainted on the street that day. When I woke up, you were gone. Did something happen?"

"Gao Xinxin, if you have any difficulties or worries, you can tell me. Although, although I may not be able to help much, but..." "Click."

The door opened, and Guang Huan, who was talking, was startled when he saw Gao Yang standing at the door, his face cold and pale.

"Brother Gao Yang! You're home? Great!" Guang Huan was surprised and happy: "Gao Xinxin hasn't come to school for several days. What happened?"

Gao Yang nodded slightly and said in a cold voice: "Gao Xinxin dropped out of school."

"Ah?" Guang Huan didn't expect it: "Why did you drop out of school? This, this is too sudden."

"We plan to go abroad." Gao Yang said.

"Why?" Guang Huan couldn't accept it.

"A distant relative of ours is abroad, and we plan to go there and live with him," Gao Yang said.

"That's it..." Guang Huan lowered his head, feeling very sad: Gao Xinxin had never mentioned such a big matter to him.

Guang Huan raised his head with burning eyes: "Brother Gao Yang, can I say goodbye to Gao Xinxin?"

"No." Gao Yang said.

"why?"

"She has gone abroad. I came back to deal with some things and left after finishing it." Gao Yang said.

Guang Huan was greatly shocked, but still unwilling to accept it: "Can you please leave me Gao Xinxin's contact information..."

"Guang Huan." Gao Yang interrupted coldly: "Gao Xinxin will not come back again. Just treat her as if she doesn't exist."

Guang Huan was stunned, his eyes turned red, and he suddenly yelled: "Brother Gao Yang! What are you talking about? How could you say such a thing!"

"Goodbye."

Gao Yang closed the door.

"Bang-bang-bang-"

Guang Huan was banging on the door frantically outside. He had never been so angry before: "Brother Gao Yang! Open the door! Speak clearly! Speak clearly!"

"What do you mean by pretending she doesn't exist? We go to and from school every day, eat together every day, and draw together. She often comes to chat with me when she has something on her mind. She even asks me to go shopping with her and buy you birthday gifts!"

"Yes, I like her! I also know that she doesn't like me, but at least we are friends! Why would she treat her friend like this?"

"It was the same last time, and it's the same this time. She disappeared without a word. How could she be so heartless!"

"Bang—bang bang—"

Guang Huan burst into tears and kept banging on the door.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"Why is she doing this to me!"

"Doesn't she show some emotion? Doesn't she have a heart?"

"Why? Why?"

"tell me why!"

……

In the entrance hall where the light could not reach, Gao Yang sat slumped on the ground, leaning against the cold iron door, turning into a silent statue.
