She is in the fog

When she returned home at night, He Xi studied the invitation Mingmei handed to her under the lamp, flipping it left and right, but she didn't find anything different. Remembering that Mingmei had written words on the paper cranes in her previous life, He Xi didn't dare to slack off, and carefully tore off the paper cranes pasted on the invitation, and then carefully opened it.

Empty.

The things experienced are different, and Mingmei's approach is also very different from that in the previous life.

He Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Mingmei didn't write on the paper cranes, then waiting until the birthday party could be considered as her first confession.

She glued the paper cranes back on, placed the invitation on the table, and turned off the desk lamp.

-

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
In the early summer bar, young voices sang the birthday song, adding a rich atmosphere to the bright birthday party. After the Chinese version was sung, everyone switched to the English version without any prior agreement.

“…Happy birthday to Mingmei!” When singing the last sentence, everyone tacitly replaced “you” with “Mingmei”.

"Clap clap-"
There was warm applause at the scene. Wen Wan took the opportunity to bring the cake to Ming Mei and urged her, "A Mei, blow out the candles and make a wish quickly."

"Thank you, thank you everyone." Mingmei bowed slightly to express her gratitude to everyone present, "Then I will blow out the candles?"

She put her hands together, closed her eyes and made a wish. After making the wish, she took a deep breath and blew out all 18 candles at once. Then she cut the cake into pieces and distributed them to her classmates.

Seeing that the classmates were enjoying their meals, Mingmei smiled and said, "Okay! Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. It's still early, so you can have fun by yourselves. Have as much wine and snacks as you want, and don't be shy!"

Qin Yiran swallowed the cake whole, rushed to the song request booth, requested "My Deskmate", then waved the microphone in his hand to Mingmei and shouted, "Happy Birthday! I requested a song for you, come on!"

The prelude of "My Deskmate" sounded in his ears, triggering the key words in his memory. He Xi suddenly shuddered and hurriedly stopped Mingmei who was about to step forward, and then shook his head desperately: "Mingming, don't go! Just stay by my side and don't go anywhere."

"Happy birthday boy! Come quickly!" Qin Yiran was still waving over there.

Ming Mei glanced at He Xi and saw that she was looking around nervously and worriedly. She guessed that she might have noticed something and felt a little scared. So she sat back next to He Xi and rejected Qin Yiran: "You sing, I don't want to sing."

Mingmei didn't appreciate it, so Qin Yinyan pouted in grievance and started singing.
"Who married you who was sentimental? Who comforted you who was crying? Who tied up your long hair? Who made your wedding dress..."

"Help!" He Jiahe desperately covered his ears. "Qin Yiran, please stop speaking with that old duck voice of yours. It costs money to listen to others sing, but it costs life to listen to you sing! It's simply torture!"

Qin Yiran rolled her eyes at her and continued to sing loudly.

"He Xi, what are you looking at secretly?" Wen Wan came over with a few cans of beer, put them on the table, opened one of them and handed it to her: "Hey, have a drink?"

"I don't drink." He Xi shook her head slightly. Alcohol would paralyze people's nerves and reduce their reaction speed. If there was an emergency, it would be inconvenient for her to act.

"Tsk, if you don't want to drink, then don't drink. You're really ungrateful." Wen Wan muttered, pouring beer into her mouth mouthful by mouthful as if in a huff.

2014年6月10日19点05分，何曦永远记得这个时间点，这是上一世歹徒把匕首刺进明媚心脏的时间。

She looked around and glanced at the time on the lyrics display screen. It was exactly 19:05. Her heart trembled and she checked again and again to see if there were any suspicious strangers around.

It was not until the time on the display screen jumped to 19:10 that she once again held Mingmei's wrist. Her tense nerves relaxed a little when her fingertips felt the continuous, steady and strong pulse coming from Mingmei.

Mingmei is still alive.
History has been changed.

Nightmares are just nightmares after all.

She cried with joy, put her arms around Mingmei's shoulders and hugged her tightly.

"What's wrong?" Mingmei asked in a low voice, "Why are you crying?"

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, sliding down her chin and neck. He Xi chuckled but didn't say anything.

She didn't want to say anything, she just wanted to hold her, just hold her quietly.

After the party, the classmates left the Chuxia Bar one after another, leaving only Mingmei and a few others who were the hosts.

Mingmei glanced at the messy venue and suggested, "Should we check it out? What if some students forgot to take something when they left?"

"it is good."
He Xi agreed, pushed open the door of a private room, took out her cell phone and sent a text message to Xia Xunzhen. Only after the other party replied "OK" did she begin to check whether there was any missing items in the room.

After a while, Li Xingyu also came into the room and closed the door.
She came close to He Xi and whispered, "Wen Wan took Ming Mei upstairs. We can prepare for action now."

"Have you called the bar staff?"

"We should have communicated with each other long ago, otherwise it would take us a long time to finish it alone."

He Xi walked out of the private room and, as expected, the bar staff were already cleaning up the venue. After a short while, the venue was cleaned up. It must be said that the bar staff were quite quick.

After everything was arranged, the bar manager came over and handed the remote control to He Xi: "The mechanism has been installed according to your requirements. In order to prevent accidental touches, you need to press the red button twice. Is there anything else you need to do next?"

"No more, thank you." He Xi took the remote control and held it in his hand.

"Then we won't bother you anymore. I'll lead the employees upstairs. Feel free to come up if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Not long after the manager took the employees upstairs, Wen Wan also brought Ming Mei down.

She looked at the spotlessly clean first floor and exclaimed, "Wow, it was a mess before I went upstairs, but now it's so clean? They're really fast."

He Xi walked towards her, "Mingming, have you checked? No one has left anything behind, right?"

"Yes." Mingmei shook the headphone cable in her hand. "I don't know whose headphones they are. I'll ask in the group later."

"It's still early anyway, why don't you sing a song for me? I haven't heard you sing in a long time."

Hearing her say this, Ming Mei looked her up and down curiously, and then burst out laughing: "You, you, Qin Yinyin asked me to sing before, but you stopped me from going, and now you want to listen again?"

He Xi nodded: "I suddenly want to listen to it."

Mingmei raised her chin coquettishly and snorted softly: "Okay, then I will reluctantly sing for you. What song do you want to hear?"
“My Heart Is Bright.”
"what?"
"My Heart Is Bright." He Xi repeated it again.

Ming Mei was completely confused and frowned as she asked, "Is there such a song? Are you kidding me?"

"Of course there is. If you don't believe me, search for it."

Mingmei walked to the song display screen and half-doubtingly entered the four words "My Heart is Bright" in the song search bar, and the result popped up.

"It really exists!" Mingmei was so excited as if she had discovered a new world, and she repeated the content displayed on it excitedly: "My Heart Is Bright, singer Sunshine, duration 5 minutes and 20 seconds, and the release date is actually today!"
She felt it was novel, so she turned to look at He Xi and asked, "You know about the song that was just released today?"

"Yeah, I happened to see someone else sharing it when I was browsing Tieba this morning." He Xi lied without blushing, "Because your name is in the title of the song, I searched for it and listened to it. I think it's pretty good."

Mingmei said "Oh" and then clicked on the singer's name, "Sunshine, is it a group?"

“Not a combination.”

"Is that a boy or a girl?"

"girl."

Seeing that there was only one song under the singer column, Mingmei became even more curious: "Is "My Heart Is Bright" the first song she released?"

"Yes." He Xi turned on the microphone and introduced seriously: "Now, let's applaud and invite Xiao Ming to sing "My Heart Is Bright" for Xiao He."

"Clap clap-"
Wen Wan and Li Xingyu, the two supporting actors, wisely clapped their hands loudly.

He Xi handed the microphone to Ming Mei, but Ming Mei didn't reach out to take it. She said, "But I haven't heard of this song, and I can't sing it at all."

"In that case," He Xi said logically, "then let me demonstrate it to Xiao Ming, just as a sample."

He Xi made a "please" gesture, indicating Mingmei to sit on the sofa in front.

Mingmei spread her hands helplessly, "So I'm in for a treat? This is the first time I've heard you sing a song other than the national anthem or school song."

Mingmei walked to the sofa in front and sat down. He Xi looked at her and thought that the position was wrong, so he stretched out his left hand and waved it slightly, "Mingming, move a little to the left, it's too far to the right."

"what?"

"Sit a little to the left. The hearing effect will be better in that position."

Mingmei said "Oh" as if she understood something, and then moved to the left.

"Wrong." He Xi slapped his head and said in annoyance, "I forgot that you and I are opposite each other. My left side is your right side. Move to the right."

After much trouble, Mingmei finally sat in the seat that He Xi wanted her to sit.

So, He Xi clicked on the accompaniment of the song "My Heart is Bright".

The prelude is very soothing, with the breeze caressing the waves, seagulls chirping, the sunshine on the summer coast inexplicably appearing before my eyes, and it seems as if I have a sip of ice lemon soda in my mouth.

The tune is very nice.
Mingmei felt relaxed and comfortable, and subconsciously leaned back on the sofa.

He Xi looked at Ming Mei in front of him and slowly raised the microphone:
"I still remember the beauty of our first meeting
You run towards me
You smile at me
At that second, the world is only left with heartbeat
The city is quiet
Secretly listening to the songs you love
Strolling on the island of dreams
It feels like being in a fairy tale castle
Fantasy of your hug
Sun for day
Moon for night
You forever
Forgive my slowness and ignorance
When I realized my heart was beating
Fate plays cruel tricks on me
So painful, so painful
I hope it's just a dream
You strayed into the end of destiny
The broken string can hardly tell the story of love and romance
It’s been years since
Looking at the faded photos
Alone, I lost everything again
where are you
It's a pity that I don't have the courage to let you understand my feelings
The world without you is meaningless
When I thought I was at the end of my rope
But I met you again
Even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, I will not regret it
The beauty of the world cannot compare to the return of an old friend
No more hesitation, I will sing loudly
Where my heart is, you are the warm sunshine
Right now, I decided to tell you

The singing and accompaniment stopped abruptly. He Xi took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to say loudly: "Mingmei, I have actually liked you for a long time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pressed the remote control button twice.

After a "bang", the sequined ball on Mingmei's head suddenly exploded, and rose petals began to fall. The petals scattered all over and submerged Mingmei. Her vision was blocked, and only a romantic red was left in front of her eyes.

She reached out her hand, caught a few rose petals, lowered her head, her heart beating wildly.

Finally, the rain of petals stopped, and a bunch of roses came into view. Mingmei raised her head and found that He Xi had already moved in front of her, with deep affection in his eyes as heavy as the earth.

He Xi bent his waist deeply and said slowly: "Xiao Ming, are you willing to be with me?"

Mingmei's breathing suddenly became rapid, her mind went blank, and she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. But deep in her heart, there was an invisible hand pushing her. So, she stood up without thinking, reached out to take the rose bouquet, and said softly, "I do."

"咚咚-"
He Xi's heart was instantly struck. Even though she had rehearsed and fantasized about it countless times in her mind, she was still too excited to control herself when she actually heard Ming Mei say "I do" in person.

With trembling hands, she held her in her arms and hugged her tightly, but she was afraid of restraining her, so she used less strength.

Due to the height difference, He Xi only had to turn her head slightly, and her lips could touch the tip of Mingmei's ear. She looked down at her fair earlobe, feeling inexplicably restless. After swallowing her saliva, she opened her mouth slightly and asked softly in Mingmei's ear: "Can I kiss you?"

"Yes...yes." Mingmei answered softly, but her cheeks were covered with a thin layer of peach color at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the tips of her ears turned slightly red.

He Xi turned her head over. Due to nervousness, her peach blossom eyes kept blinking, and her black velvet-like eyelashes fluttered.

He Xi looked into her eyes, lingering in her gaze for a long time, and finally, his lips fell on her forehead, as cautiously and lightly as a dragonfly touching the water.

Mingmei seemed very dissatisfied with He Xi's performance. She curled her lips slightly, then grabbed He Xi's shoulders in a lightning speed, gently stood on tiptoes, kissed the corner of her mouth, and then slipped away to the side.

He Xi's eyes suddenly lit up. She reached out and gently touched the corner of Mingmei's mouth that she had kissed. The expression on her face instantly turned into surprise.

Mingmei stood in front, her face red like the sunset, hugging the bouquet tightly, but turned her head away proudly, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "He Xi, forgetting to prepare a birthday gift for your girlfriend is a very incompetent performance. A bouquet of flowers can't get me away. I will let you go today. You have one week to make up for the gift."

After saying this, she put the bouquet behind her and walked away with a lilting step.
——He also dragged away Wen Wan, who was watching the show nearby.

Three days later, Wuzhou City, Wuyu Street.

He Xi and Ming Mei walked and stopped from time to time, and occasionally went into small shops on both sides of the street to pick and choose, making material preparations for camping at night.

According to astronomers' predictions, the June Lyrid meteor shower is expected to appear from the 14th to the 16th, reaching its peak on the evening of the 16th, with the number of meteors reaching about 200 per hour.

He Xi is not an astronomy enthusiast. The reason she paid attention to this news was that on Mingmei's birthday last year, she artificially created a "meteor shower" for her. When she saw the light in Mingmei's eyes, she decided on her own that this year's birthday gift would be to watch a real meteor shower.

He Xi knew very little about meteor showers, so he did some research online. Regarding the best place to observe this meteor shower, many netizens recommended Qiyu Mountain in Wuzhou City. He Xi listened to their advice, bought a plane ticket immediately, and brought Mingmei here in advance.

"Tent, sleeping bag, moisture-proof mat, small desk lamp, food, water..." Mingmei read the contents of the small notebook and ticked the box after each item she bought. Suddenly, she looked up at He Xi and asked, "Do you want to bring a toothbrush, toothpaste, face towel, etc.?"

"Take it with you. The road is quite long and it will be too troublesome to go down the mountain. We may have to stay in the mountain for the next few days."

"I heard it's very cold in the mountains, so you should bring thick clothes." Mingmei wrote a few words in the notebook, "And bring your tablet, so you can watch some dramas when you have nothing to do."

"Is it bad to surf the Internet on the mountain?"

"I downloaded it in advance." Mingmei folded up the tip of the ballpoint pen, clipped it on the notebook, looked around, and began to scan the street for new things.
Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something and her eyes lit up.

She immediately ran to the stall, picked up a square object on top, and waved excitedly at He Xi: "Come on, come on."

He Xi approached and asked curiously: "What is this?"

Mingmei showed the front of the item to He Xi, and He Xi read the words on it: "Peerless elegance."

"Yeah." Mingmei nodded. "This is the first album released by my second favorite singer. It has been out of print for a long time. I didn't expect to see it here. He Xi, He Xixi, Xiao Xixi..." Mingmei pursed her lips and blinked wildly. "I want it."

Unbearable.
Looking at her charming big eyes and listening to her say "I want it" coquettishly, He Xi almost had a nosebleed again.

She hastily shifted her gaze to the stall owner and asked, "Boss, how much is this CD?"

The stall owner shook his head, pointed to the rows of balloons nearby and said, "Little girl, your eyesight is not very good. Those are prizes. They are not for sale. You have to use a gun to pop the balloons."

“How many balloons?”

The stall owner saw that something was going to happen, so he immediately put down the melon seeds in his hand and walked over with a simulated gun. He put the gun on the table and said with a smile: "I see that you two are young, so I'll give you a chance. If you hit ten red balloons, you can take this thing away."

"How much for ten hits?"

"Ten dollars. Twenty-five dollars for thirty times, forty dollars for fifty times..."

The boss wanted to continue selling, but He Xi interrupted him: "No need, ten times is enough."
After saying that, she took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it to the stall owner.

When He Xi said "Ten times is enough", her image in Ming Mei's heart became more impressive, but the stall owner did not understand the pretense in it. He just thought that she wanted to buy ten times to test the waters first, so he picked up the gun on the table and handed it to her.

He Xi took the gun and saw at a glance that it was a gas rifle that imitated the M16 semi-automatic rifle. She guessed that the stall owner had adjusted the sights of the gun. To be on the safe side, she asked, "Boss, can I try it once? I'll try it once, and it won't count towards the ten times."

"Sure." The boss added, "It doesn't count even if you hit it."

"Yeah." He Xi looked at the rows of balloons in front of him and counted them. There were exactly ten red balloons. He was afraid that there would not be enough after shooting the ones behind, so he aimed at the blue balloons and started shooting.

"boom--"
After a gunshot, nothing happened.

He Xi licked her lips and curled the corners of her mouth slightly. It seemed that her decision to try it once was the right one, and the stall owner had indeed adjusted the crosshairs.

Judging from the feedback from the previous shot, the muzzle needs to be raised slightly.

After thinking about it, she said to the stall owner: "Boss, I'm ready to start."

In his previous life, when he was in the Public Security Bureau, the bureau often organized special live-fire shooting training for police officers with gun-carrying qualifications. He Xi's training results were always among the best. He could hit the bull's eye nine out of ten times, and when his touch was good, he could hit the bull's eye with every shot.

Now the balloon is much closer to her than when she was in the training ground. The balloon is also larger than the bull's eye, and the shooting range is wider. He Xi is very confident about this.

Following the feeling just now, He Xi closed one eye, adjusted the muzzle and aiming position of the gun, aimed at one of the red balloons, and slowly pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang—"
After the gunshot, there was the sound of a balloon exploding.

"Yeah!" Mingmei clapped and cheered, "He Xixi you are awesome!"

The stall owner also smiled and said, "You are lucky, little girl."

He Xi did not respond and began to aim at the second red balloon.
"Bang bang—"

Then comes the third red balloon.
"Bang bang—"

Mingmei cheered again, and the stall owner couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "The little girl has some skills."

Then came the fourth, fifth, sixth...and the tenth.
All ten shots hit the target, leaving not a single red balloon on the wall.

The stall owner was dumbfounded.

Ming Mei was so excited that she danced with joy. She hugged He Xi, stood on tiptoes and kissed her on the cheek: "He Xi, I love you! You are so amazing!"

The stall owner was petrified watching all this.

"Boss, thank you. Let's go." Mingmei held the album in one hand and held He Xi's hand with the other, and the two of them hurriedly ran deeper into the street.

After making sure she was out of sight of the stall owner, Ming Mei stopped and laughed, "You don't know his expression, it's like the Sichuan opera face-changing, his back teeth must have been broken."

He Xi was having so much fun beating that her hands were itching for a moment, and she said arrogantly, "Let's go back. If you like anything on the stall, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."

Ming Mei smiled even more happily. She stopped He Xi who was about to make a comeback and said breathlessly, "Don't go. This album is out of print and worth a fortune. The boss has already suffered a huge loss. If you continue to do this, won't he go bankrupt?"

"I actually...actually I just want to make you happy a few more times..." He Xi lowered her eyes and scratched her head embarrassedly, "In this way, you can kiss me a few more times."

"Okay, you...you..." Mingmei put away her smile, and her face suddenly turned red when she recalled the scene where she kissed He Xi's cheek because of excitement. She pouted and muttered softly, "Are you waiting for me to kiss you? If I don't kiss you, you won't know how to kiss me..."

Mingmei spoke very quietly, and He Xi didn't hear it clearly at all. He couldn't help but frown and ask: "What? What did you just say?"

"I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything." Mingmei turned around and patted her cheek gently, "Hurry up, buy the camping supplies and go up the mountain. Be sure to set up the tent before dark."

The two immediately launched a thundering operation and finally climbed up the Qiyu Mountain at four o'clock in the afternoon and reached the best observation position recommended by netizens.

It seems that netizens are not trying to fool He Xi, because several teams have already gathered here.

He Xi chose a vacant lot and planned to set up a tent here. Ming Mei didn't know how to set up a tent, so she took pictures of plants with her camera and turned back to remind him: "Xiao Xixi, I don't know how to set up a tent, I'll just listen to your instructions, and call me if you need me to do anything. I'll play with the camera first, there are many plants here that I haven't seen before." "Okay." He Xi responded, and just as he took the items out of the big backpack, he saw a middle-aged man walking up to Ming Mei.

The middle-aged man had a worrying amount of hair, a fat head and big ears, a big belly, and a greasy expression on his face.

He looked at Mingmei and asked slyly, "Little sister, are you here alone? Is there no one else?"

Mingmei raised her head and looked at him, then took a step back, "I came here with my family."

For some reason, He Xi felt physically and mentally disgusted when she saw the man staring at Mingmei with a squinting expression. However, she couldn't get angry just because he asked this question, so she took the opportunity of setting up the tent to call Mingmei to her side for help.

Unexpectedly, after the man saw that they were the only two around, he boldly followed them and continued to ask, "Where did your family go?"

Mingmei ignored him, but he was not discouraged and continued to chatter: "Are you here to see the meteor shower too? You look like you are still studying, right?"

He Xi was annoyed by his question and could only say "hmm" coldly.

The man seemed to be in high spirits. He immediately put on an old scholarly demeanor and cleared his throat. "In that case, let me test you. What is the name of tonight's meteor shower? Where is the radiant point? The active period is..."

"I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know."
He Xi said "no" four times in a row, which was enough to show that she was very impatient.

But the man didn't understand their expressions at all, and continued to talk a lot, belittling them from time to time: "You little girls are always slow to do things. You haven't even put up the tent after spending so long."

He Xi could no longer bear it, so she picked up the big rock on the ground that she used as a hammer and said to the man, "Uncle, if you have nothing to do, can you help me drive the piles?" After that, she threw the big rock at the man, hitting his foot.

The man immediately picked up his feet in pain and bounced on the spot.

"Oops." He Xi deliberately squeezed out a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, uncle, how did I hit your foot? Are you okay?"

The man glared at He Xi, then glanced at Ming Mei, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay." Then he limped away in shame.

Without the noisy sounds around them, they quickly set up the tent and moved in comfortably.

As the sun set, they came out of the tent.

The night was a bit chilly, so they each put on a coat and sat on the rocks talking.

There was no moon in the sky, but the twilight was unexpectedly clear. The sky was dark blue, almost purple, and the few stars appeared very bright.

Mingmei leaned her head on He Xi's shoulder and asked suddenly, "When did you start to like me?"
"When I first met you."

"So it was love at first sight?"
"Yeah, love at first sight."

"So you've liked me for two years?"
"Wrong." He Xi corrected, "It's fourteen years."

Mingmei muttered, "Has it been that long?"
He Xi looked at the stars in the sky and replied, "Of course, twelve years in the last life, two years now, a total of fourteen years."

"Did I like you in my previous life?"
Thinking of the contents on the paper cranes, He Xi smiled: "I like it."

"How do you know whether I liked you in my previous life?"
"Because you confessed to me."

Mingmei exclaimed, "Have I confessed? Are we together then?"
"No, I didn't see the content of your confession until a long, long time later."
Ming frowned and smacked his lips: "That's such a pity."
……

The two were happily talking about their experiences in the previous life, but the annoying guy showed up again and disrupted this beautiful moment.

The middle-aged man with a big belly from the afternoon came over again.

He squatted in front of the two of them, looked at the tent behind them, and asked, "Are you just the two of you? Your family and friends are not with you?"

He Xi didn't even bother to look at him, and said perfunctorily: "Yeah."

The man rolled his eyes and deliberately asked, "Your boyfriends aren't joining you two?"

"I don't have a boyfriend..." He Xi stretched out her hand and took Ming Mei into her arms, looking at the man in front of her coldly, and said provocatively: "But I have a girlfriend."

The man watched their intimate actions and reacted for a while before he suddenly realized and said, "Oh, they are homosexuals."
After a while, he laughed shamelessly and said, "You are just too young. You always want to try these new things. Once you have slept with a man, you will know the good of men."

He Xi was too lazy to indulge him and retorted: "You know the good of men since you have slept with them before."

"Why are you so aggressive, kid?" the man said angrily. "I am just giving you some constructive advice from your position as an elder. You really don't appreciate my kindness."

"We don't need it." He Xi said coldly, "Mind your own business."

Seeing that He Xi was not interested, he turned his gaze to Mingmei, glanced at the telescope in Mingmei's hand, pointed at it, and showed a disdainful expression on his face: "What can you see with this telescope? I have a professional astronomical telescope over there. Come with uncle over there, and uncle will show you something good."

After saying that, he reached out his hand to pull Mingmei.

He Xi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed his hand, quickly adjusted his hand movements, and forcefully pried his three fingers back, almost breaking them.

“It hurts, it hurts—” The man’s body fell as his fingers bent at an angle, “Let go, let go…”

"This is my last warning to you," He Xi said viciously, "Don't show up in front of us again. If you do it again, I will call the police immediately and sue you for sexual harassment."

The man was in so much pain that his face was disfigured, but he still insisted: "I didn't touch her, how can this be considered sexual harassment?"

"It seems I need to explain to you the definition of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment refers to using sexually suggestive words or actions against the harassed person, forcing the victim to cooperate and making the other person feel unhappy..."
He Xi deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "language" and shook off the man's hand in disgust, "Mind your own business, uncle."

"Huff, huff..." The man shook his wrists desperately and blew on the painful knuckles, with tears in his eyes. He didn't expect the girl to be so strong. She pinched his fingers and he couldn't break free at all. She also accurately stated the definition of sexual harassment. He thought they were not obedient little lambs, but he was unwilling to give up. When he was about to say something to save the situation, it started to rain.

Wuzhou is a coastal city, and it rains unpredictably and without warning. He Xi had made a travel guide before coming here, so they were not surprised and quickly packed up and hid in the tent.

The man looked at the sudden rain and suddenly shouted, "My astronomical telescope!" Then he limped away in shame.

The rain at the seaside comes and goes quickly, and after a while, the rain stops.
However, they still failed to see the meteor shower as they wished.

Mingmei held up the telescope and muttered, "The experts wouldn't lie, right? How come I didn't even see the shadow of a meteor?"

"It's okay. There are still two days left. We'll see tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

In the next two days, they still didn't see the meteor shower.

Almost all the tourists on the mountain had left, so they had to pack up and prepare to go down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, Mingmei couldn't help muttering, "I didn't see any meteors, but I got caught in a lot of rain. I'm beginning to suspect that the news of the June Lyrid meteor shower was released by the Qiyushan Scenic Area to attract tourists, right?"

Come with excitement and leave with disappointment.

It would be uncomfortable for anyone, and He Xi was even more distressed. He had promised to take Mingmei to see a real meteor shower, but in the end, he didn't see anything and even met a creepy man, which really ruined his mood.

Sitting in the taxi, He Xi was bored and scrolling through the forum. Suddenly, she saw a post on the front page of Wuzhou Forum. Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly said to the driver, "Please turn around. We want to go to Hetai Island."

"Not going to the airport?"

"Well, let's go to Hetai Island."

The endless sea, the vast beach, and many small tents on the beach.

He Xi learned his lesson and first found a lady with short red hair on the beach and asked, "Aunt, are you here to see Blue Tears too?"

"correct."

"Do you know where I can see it?"

"This is the beach. I looked here last year and the year before. Just listen to me. You can't go wrong."

"Thank you auntie."

After leaving her aunt, He Xi also started to set up a tent on the beach. Ming Mei curiously asked, "He Xi, what are blue tears?"

He Xi said mysteriously: "You will know in the evening."

After seven o'clock in the evening, people stood in groups of three or four on the beach, searching for traces of blue tears.

The sea was calm and peaceful, nothing special.

It wasn’t until about ten o’clock that someone exclaimed, “Blue tears!”

Everyone looked towards her at the same time, and following the direction of her finger, they saw a blue fluorescent light surging on the sea not far away.

The blue fluorescence was getting closer and closer, and the range was getting larger and larger.

"Here I come." He Xi held Mingmei's hand and ran to a higher place.

Looking down from a high vantage point, you can see a light blue fluorescent light surrounding the reefs, like a galaxy falling to the earth, like a dream.

"Wow." Mingmei exclaimed, "It's like the blue sea of ​​stars is surging. I thought this kind of scene only appeared in movie special effects, but I didn't expect to see it in real life. It's really the magic of nature. I would like to call them 'fireflies on the seabed'."

He Xi responded: "Almost the same, sea fireflies, fireflies under the sea, this explanation is perfect."

As the waves crash, the fireflies continue to flow farther along the direction of the surging sea water.

Mingmei raised her camera and made this fleeting scene eternal.

The light blue fluorescence gradually drifted away like a ribbon until it could no longer be seen.

Although she didn't see the meteor shower in the sky, she saw the starry sky under the sea. Mingmei was very satisfied. She went back to the tent with He Xi and listened to music with headphones with great interest.

She handed one of the headphones to He Xi: "Come and listen to the songs in the album "Peerless Glory"."

He Xi put on the headphones. The left ear was filled with the singer's voice, and the right ear was filled with Mingmei's soft humming. After holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Mingming, you said this is your second favorite singer, then who is your favorite singer?"

"You." Mingmei said without hesitation.
"I?"
Mingmei turned her head away, took off her headphones, winked slyly and said, "My Sunshine, actually after listening to the latter part of the lyrics, I knew that the song was written by you."

He Xi's pupils suddenly dilated. Looking at Ming Mei's quirky expression, her heartbeat became disordered again. She held her breath and asked carefully, "Ming Ming, can I kiss you?"

They were together, even sleeping in the same tent, but he actually asked her if he could kiss her? Mingmei was almost pissed off by this idiot, so she just said angrily, "No."

And then, He Xi actually...actually obeyed and stopped kissing?
Is this absolute obedience?
Mingmei was almost angry and almost fainted. She angrily pulled off He Xi's headphones and muttered, "I want to watch TV."

She plugged the headphones into the tablet and just unlocked the screen when a piece of news popped up on the page:
"Zero tolerance! These foreign drug traffickers were sentenced to death"

He Xi's voice rang in my ears: "Click in and take a look."

Mingmei clicked on it and saw that the picture accompanying the news was a screenshot from the documentary "August 8 Operation", which happened to be the scene of Yanhuo eating chicken in a hotpot.

He Xi flipped through the pages and saw that he was sentenced to death in the first instance, appealed, and the original verdict was upheld in the second instance. He appealed again, but the verdict was rejected.

Such a person deserves to die a thousand times, but how could he be allowed to live so long?
But He Xi could also understand it. After all, he was a foreigner, and Country M must have raised many obstacles.

Mingmei suddenly said "tsk", "How strange, I always feel like something is wrong."

"Huh? Why?"

Mingmei pointed at the poppy tattoo in the picture and said, "I remember the tattoo I saw in the KTV in Qinglin City. There was a mung bean-sized area on the pistil, which was darker than the surrounding area. I suspected it was a mole, but the tattoo in the picture is very even, with no dark areas." She paused and continued, "Of course, it is not ruled out that there was dirt on his arm that he didn't wipe off at that time."

Hearing Mingmei say this, He Xi immediately took it seriously. Mingmei's observation and memory were obvious to all. She had no reason not to believe her words. Her nerves, which had finally relaxed, tensed up again.

If the man who was arrested was Yanhuo's scapegoat, then the real Yanhuo was still at large? Would he still have to spend the rest of his life in tension and worry?
He Xi thought about it and felt a headache for no reason. Seeing Ming Mei beside her also looking worried, she reached out and patted her back, comforting her: "It's okay, it's late, go to bed first, and we'll talk tomorrow."

She turned the desk lamp to the lowest setting so that it would not blind her bright eyes.

He Xi originally wanted to watch over Mingmei while she slept, but she was so sleepy that she fell asleep shortly after Mingmei did.

In her sleep, she vaguely felt some movement beside her. She opened her eyes suddenly and found Mingmei rummaging through something in her backpack.

She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Mingming, what are you looking for?"
"Umbrella, it's raining outside." Mingmei said, "I want to go to the bathroom."

The public toilet was still a long way from the beach, so she immediately turned over and said kindly, "Why didn't you wake me up so I could go with you? The toilet is so far away, it's not safe for you to go alone."

Mingmei found the umbrella and said aggrievedly, "I saw you were sleeping soundly and I couldn't bear to disturb you."

The two of them held umbrellas and went to the toilet in the wind and rain.

When we came back and just stepped onto the beach, there was a flash of lightning in the sky, followed by a loud thunder and rumbling rain, and the rain suddenly got heavier.

"Why is it still thundering?" He Xi muttered, "Will we be struck by lightning?"

"I don't know." Mingmei huddled close to He Xi and held the umbrella lower.

When he was almost at the tent, he suddenly found a person standing in front of the umbrella. However, due to the umbrella's obstruction, he could only see his calves. He Xi slowly moved the umbrella upwards and suddenly found that he was holding a shiny dagger in his hand. He secretly cried out in his heart that something was wrong. He looked up again and saw a poppy tattooed on his arm. He Xi was shocked and quickly took away the umbrella completely.

"Crackling——"
A bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the man's face.

He Xi widened his eyes. This face was exactly the same as the one that stared at Ming Mei's back in the auditorium in his previous life.

He Xi hurriedly protected Ming Mei behind him and whispered to her as before: "Run, and call the police."

As Mingmei took a step, Yanhuo rushed towards her like a hungry tiger. At this moment, Mingmei fell to the ground because her legs were weak.

He Xi had no time to take care of her. With a sweep, he blocked Yan Huo's next move, and then the two of them started fighting.

The sound of fighting woke up the people in the surrounding tents. They all poked their heads out to see what was going on. Thinking that someone was fighting, they walked out of the tents despite the heavy rain to watch the fun.

It was not until I saw the dagger that I realized this was not an ordinary fight, and I was immediately trembling with fear.

He Xi had been dodging the dagger's attacks skillfully, his mind racing as to how he could snatch the dagger away. There were so many people here, and even if he couldn't hurt Mingmei, it would be bad to hurt others.

At the beginning, He Xi had the upper hand, but gradually she found it difficult. During the past few days of traveling, she had not slept well at night in order to watch the shooting stars. The fierce fight also consumed a lot of her energy, and she gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Just like in the previous life, her throat was strangled by the flames and she could hardly breathe, but she still held tightly onto his wrist holding the dagger, trying her best to avoid fatal injuries.

At this moment, while Yanhuo was focusing all his attention on He Xi, Mingmei plucked up her courage, picked up a beach shovel beside her, and hit Yanhuo hard on the back of his head.

"Boom-"
Yan Huo was stunned for a moment, and He Xi took the opportunity to turn over, raised his knee and hit him hard on the chin, then kicked him in the wrist.
I didn't expect that he held the dagger so tightly that it didn't move at all.

He Xi knelt on one knee on the ground, breathing heavily, taking this opportunity to recover his strength.

Yanhuo stood up, spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground, twisted his neck and wrist, and then walked towards Mingmei.

Mingmei was so scared that she dropped the shovel in her hand, turned around and ran away. Yanhuo wanted to chase her, but He Xi kicked him in the leg. He fell on the beach and the two started fighting again.

The people watching the excitement could no longer stand still. A young lady said anxiously in a trembling voice: "The police, please come quickly."
After saying that, she wanted to rush forward to help. Just after taking two steps, her boyfriend hurriedly grabbed her and said, "It's dangerous, don't go."

The red-haired aunt who had been talking to He Xi during the day couldn't stand it anymore. Her daughter was about the same age as He Xi and was studying abroad. She looked at He Xi like her own daughter and couldn't help crying to the people around her, "Is there anyone who can help her?"

It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. The criminal was holding a dagger, and people around him did not dare to act rashly. The aunt made up her mind and rushed forward without thinking, holding the nearest object. As a result, she was kicked to the ground by Yanhuo and could not get up for a long time.

He Xi took this opportunity to grab Yan Huo's dagger, but he didn't expect that he suddenly turned over like a loach. He Xi touched nothing and his arm was cut instead.

"hiss--"
The pain of the cut flesh was instantly transmitted to the brain through the nerves, and my left hand subconsciously fell on the beach.

"Fuck-"
Yanhuo stabbed down fiercely, and the sharp tip of the knife pierced through He Xi's left palm and went straight into the yellow sand.

He Xi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, her eyes suddenly changed, as if she was crazy. She ignored the pain, raised her palm upwards to the end of the dagger, gripped the handle tightly, and refused to let go. No matter how hard Yan Huo tried, he could not pull it out.

Mingmei noticed that the two were in a stalemate, so she picked up the shovel and struck again, hitting Yanhuo on the back of the head with all her strength.

"Clang-"

Yan Huo was knocked dizzy, his head shook, and the strength in his hands weakened. He Xi took the opportunity to withdraw, and took off the dagger in his palm with trembling hands, and blood immediately gushed out.

Seeing Yanhuo shaking his head vigorously, probably because his vision was blurred by Mingmei's shovel, He Xi took this opportunity to kick him in the temple. He staggered all over, with his hands on the beach, struggling but unable to stand up.

"He has no knife! He has no knife!" the red-haired auntie shouted anxiously, "Don't let him get up, come up and help him."

Hearing this, the people around swarmed over, pressed him to the ground together, and pulled down the fishing net from the decorative boat on the beach, and tied him up tightly, leaving him no chance of escape.

He Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Ming Mei hurried to her side. Seeing the blood on her body, she burst into tears: "He Xi, does it hurt?"

He Xi smiled and shook his head, threw the dagger to the ground, took Ming Mei into his arms, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Mingmei cried even harder, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. He Xi patted her back gently, leaving blood on her clothes, and continued to comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay, no one can hurt you anymore."

Mingmei sniffed and raised her head. It was hard to tell whether it was rain or tears on her face. "I called 110 and 120, and they arrived soon."

"Mingming, can I kiss you now?" He Xi asked the question again.

"Yes, any time."

He Xi took out a purple candy from his pocket.
——Ever since she knew Mingmei had hypoglycemia, she always kept a few candies in her pocket in case of emergency.

She opened the wrapper, put the candy into her mouth, lowered her head, and kissed her lips. She rolled the candy with her tongue and put it into Mingmei's mouth. The fragrance of grapes spread between their lips and teeth.

He Xi gently explored all the unknown areas, passing the candy back and forth between the two people's mouths until it was completely melted.
The rain could not extinguish the passion of their hormones. The breathing of the two people made the surrounding air so hot that it was almost suffocating.

The sirens of police cars and ambulances sounded the symphony of dawn.
They kissed passionately.
Day dawned and the fog dissipated.

——Meet her when the fog rises, be with her when the fog clears.
