Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

Downstairs, in the spacious living room, the strategizing father and the pampered mother overlook the city. Everything is like dust. Although the world is unkind, I am still alone. The father came to the balcony and handed the wine glass to the mother. The two picked up the wine glass and took a sip, blending into the night with the crystal clear wine glass.

The girl stood on the parapet on the roof of the building, staring blankly into the distance, to the heights, where it was so cold, she had no desires, and it was sad to have no desires. She took the utility knife and slowly drew it on her wrist. Blood gushed out and the cells burst. She watched and felt. What she felt was not pain but comfort. His arms stretched into the air, and blood fell drop by drop, like elves flying down from the sky, and as if they were baptizing the earth. The faint fragrance drifted away in the wind. People woke up and looked at the roof of the building involuntarily. The parents smelled the wafting fragrance, and the mother was a little worried. She turned around and was about to go upstairs, but her father stopped her. The mother asked,"Is something going to happen to my daughter?"

"Don't worry, being a little confused is youth."My father comforted me.

"If the condition is not good, will there be any impact?"

"It's just temporary, it will be fine when the time comes"

"How about telling her?"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it easily. Didn't the master say that there will be certain twists and turns? Don't worry."

My father said this, and my mother felt at ease.

In the breeze, the air was filled with the long-lasting charm of blood. In the city, desire and greed were aroused at this moment. At night, the sparkling water surface was like a medium, allowing them to travel between the two. Travel through different worlds. Only when there is water can there be living things. Water nurtures all things in the world and can also turn into tears and blood.

Spring passed and summer solstice came, and the classmates in the class were busy preparing for the college entrance examination, but she seemed to have nothing to do. The girl returned home and lay quietly on the bed, muttering to herself:

"I'd never given much thought to how I was going to die, and while I'd had plenty of reasons to think about it over the past few months, even if I had, I'd never thought about how death would come. I held my breath and looked at the other end of the room, staring into his deep eyes from a distance, and he responded to me with a happy look. This is undoubtedly a good way to die, to die in front of others - people who love me. It can even be said that this was a death worthy of death. I know that if I weren't here, I wouldn't have to face this right now. But despite my fear, I don’t regret this decision. When life gives you a dream that far exceeds your expectations, then there is no reason to be sad when it all ends

……

The temperature that day was 30 degrees. It was the season to wear a skirt, and the sky was blue and cloudless. I'm wearing my favorite MiG skirt, I wore it because it was similar to the school uniform skirt

"Graduation is about to happen, and you don’t need to dress like this all the time."My mother said when I was going out, she noticed that I was not wearing the skirt she gave me.

"Get used to it, mom"

……

I was driving my new car with the windows open all the way, and I suddenly felt like I was in self-exile. When I arrived at the school, the classroom was not big. The two people in front of me stopped as soon as they stepped through the door and hung their raincoats on a row of long hooks. I followed their lead. The bell rang after class, and a lanky boy who seemed to have a skin disease, with black hair that looked like he had applied hair oil, leaned over from the other side of the aisle and said to me:

"You're Isabella Swann, right?"He's like a typical club guy who seems overly enthusiastic.

"Bella."I corrected. The classmates who were three desks away from me all turned to look at me.

"Where is your next class?"He asked.

I had to look it up in my school bag:"Well, the politics class, about the Jefferson administration, is in Building 6."

"I'm going to Building 4. I can tell you how to get there.……"Overenthusiastic indeed."My name is Eric," he added.

I smiled reluctantly:"Thank you"

……

A female classmate sat next to me in both geometry and Spanish classes, and she went to the cafeteria with me for lunch. She is very small, much shorter than me, but her messy curly hair reduces our height a lot. I couldn't remember her name, so when she chattered about teachers and classmates, I would smile and nod, but actually didn't listen to anything.

It was there, sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch and trying to chat with some curious and unknown classmates, that I met them for the first time. They were sitting in a corner of the cafeteria, farthest from where I was sitting in the long room. There were five of them in total. They didn't speak to each other or eat, but each of them had an untouched plate of food in front of them. They didn't stare at me blankly, unlike most of the other students, so it was safe to stare at them without worrying about making very curious eye contact. But it wasn't these that caught my attention, I started paying attention to them

"who are they?" I asked the girl in Spanish class, whose name I couldn’t remember

"Those were brothers Edward Cullen and Emmett Cullen and siblings Rosalie and Jasper Hale. The one who left was Alice Cullen. They were all following the Cullen couple. Living together."She said in a low voice.

I glanced at the beautiful boy out of the corner of my eye and saw him looking at the plate, tearing the bread into small pieces with his white and slender fingers and putting it into his mouth. His mouth moved. Very quickly, there was only a gap between the two perfect lips. The other three were still looking to the side, but I felt that he was whispering something to them. A rare and weird name, I thought about it. Grandparents only use this kind of name, but maybe it’s fashionable in the small town. I finally remembered that the girl next to me was called Jessica, a very common name.

"They... look good."I tried hard to cover up the exclamation in my heart with an understatement.

"right! Jessica giggled again in agreement,"It's just, they're all together - I mean, Emmett and Rosalie, and Jasper and Alice, and they live together.""

I thought harshly, her tone contained the shock and accusation expressed by everyone in the town. But to be honest, I have to admit that such a thing would cause rumors even in Phoenix City.

"Are those the Cullen children? They don't look like they're related by blood……"I asked

"Oh, they are not Dr. Cullen's children. Dr. Cullen is actually very young, only in his twenties or early thirties. They are all adopted. The two with the surname Hale are siblings. They are twins. The two with blond hair are adopted children."

"As adopted children, they are a bit older, right?"

"They are now, Jasper and Rosalie are both eighteen, but they have been with Mrs. Cullen since they were eight, and Mrs. Cullen is their aunt or something."

"The Karens are really kind-hearted people, taking care of so many children at such a young age."

"I think so."Jessica's answer was a little forced, and I could tell that she didn't like Dr. Cullen and his wife for some reason. From the way she looked at the children they adopted, I guessed that the reason was jealousy.

"However, I don't think Mrs. Cullen can have children."Jessica added, as if this would discount their kindness.
