The melody of the music was light and gentle. Looking out the window, the light shone down from the stage and enveloped Lingjing in black and white. Then, the elegant voice of "Spinning Wood" began to play. Other than the slight trembling at the beginning, the rest of the song was already in the zone.
Lingjing's voice naturally couldn't be compared to Faye Wong's singing, but her clear voice had a hint of purity. Even though she couldn't sing Faye Wong's ethereal yet melancholic maturity, the warmth of "Spinning Wood" was well expressed.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Ya Han spoke after a long time, "You taught her?"
"Yeah." In the darkness, Jiaming nodded.
They were in a room on the side of the stage. Entering from backstage, they could clearly see the performance through the large glass window. Because the lights in the auditorium were mostly off, the room remained dark. Some light seeped in through the floor-to-ceiling window, revealing the silhouettes of the people, tables, and chairs. It was as if there was a faint layer of light around them.
"… With a gorgeous appearance and gorgeous lights
I'm a merry-go-round in this paradise
Just to fulfill a child's dream
Climb on my back and I'll take you to soar
I've forgotten the sadness of running on the spot
I've forgotten that I'm forever locked up
No matter how long I can stay with you
At least let you dream of flying with me … "
As the song played, Ya Han crossed her arms in front of her chest and slightly lowered her head. She seemed to be organizing the words in her head. After a while, Jiaming laughed first, "What's wrong?
What's the matter?
I heard Xu Mo say you had a car accident. "
"Uh … Yeah." Absent-Minded, Ya Han subconsciously nodded.
"Are you hurt?"
"No, no …" Looking at Jiaming's face, Ya Han looked away.
"Then what's wrong?
What made you so nervous … Um, is your family forcing you to get married again? "Jiaming laughed," When you asked me to help you last time, you weren't so hesitant. "
"No, uh … Actually …" Taking a deep breath, Ya Han seemed to have finally gathered her courage. She gently bit her lower lip, "Um … You … Are you with Lingjing or Shasha?"
"Uh?"
"I … I found this on Lingjing's bed under her pillow. You must be with Lingjing …" Ya Han took two steps to the table and turned on the table lamp. Then, she opened her clenched left hand and a light yellow condom fell into the light. There was a drawing of a banana on the package, which meant that it had a banana flavor. At this moment, the drawing was particularly eye-catching under the light.
Looking at Ya Han's somewhat calm expression, Jiaming blinked, "Actually, this thing is not used for that kind of thing. It has many uses. You can carry it in your pocket when you have nothing to do. For example, one day when your car runs out of water and you don't have a container, you can use it to fetch water. Another example is …"
"I'm not joking with you!"
Suddenly, Ya Han shouted loudly, which gave Jiaming a fright. The two were stunned for a moment. Jiaming shrugged, "Is it important?"
"Of course it's important!" Ya Han said loudly, "Why isn't it important?
You guys … you guys are only high school students, still … still minors … the school doesn't allow these kinds of things. How can you guys do this … Shasha is living with you guys. What will she think, and … and … "
"Okay, okay, don't be agitated. Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you. It's just that it's a little hard to say."
Jiaming raised his hands and motioned for her to calm down. "Actually … I'm living with Lingjing and Shasha … the three of us."
"Uh …" Ya Han suddenly seemed to not understand this sentence, and she looked a little confused.
"Lingjing, Shasha, and Lingjing."
"Huh?"
"I know it's a little hard to understand, and it would take a lot of effort to explain, but if you think about it carefully, isn't it obvious?
How many high school students have you seen living together like us?
Living together, working together to earn money, buying furniture together, eating together, and using together … Huh? "Jiaming nodded at her.
"You mean … the three of you."
Ya Han's chest heaved violently, and she took a step back. Ya Han's expression was a little complicated. She took off the glasses that were used as a disguise, and she looked like she was about to cry, but more than that, she was in disbelief. "How … is this possible? You guys … slept together …" The last two words sounded like a moan.
Jiaming slowly nodded and let out a long sigh of relief. "On the day of our junior high graduation exams, we partied at Shasha's mansion and drank a lot of alcohol. You know that I can't hold my liquor well, but Shasha's dad probably called a girl home the day before and put an aphrodisiac in a bottle of red wine. Although the amount wasn't much, we were already drunk. After drinking that bottle of red wine, we woke up like this the next day … I didn't want to lie to you, but you should know that this kind of thing isn't easy to confess. Since you know … it's fine."
Jiaming helplessly shrugged and smiled magnanimously. Ya Han shook her head and stepped back to sit in the chair in front of the table. Just now, she said in a messy voice, "It's fine … what's fine about it? You guys … you guys haven't grown up yet. I'm talking about the three of you … Do you know Papa Ye and Mama Ye?
Does Shasha's dad know?
You guys … the three of you … "
"Oh, of course they don't know. My family doesn't care, but Papa Ye and Mama Ye will definitely object to this kind of thing. They might even beat me or Lingjing to death … Shasha's dad definitely won't allow us to do this. If it's just me and Shasha, he won't say anything … It's hard to say right now, so we can only hide it. We're all friends, so it's fine if you know. You should understand …"
"Understand!
What can I understand! "
Ya Han suddenly raised her head and continued to shout, "It's fine if you're alone with Lingjing or Shasha, but the three of you … No one will agree to this kind of thing. Do you know what you'll face in the future?!"
"I think so."
Seeing Ya Han's agitated attitude, Jiaming stopped smiling and his gaze became calm. "We've already prepared for it."
"Prepared?
What can you prepare for? "
Taking a deep breath, Ya Han lowered her voice slightly. "I know you're very powerful. Not only do you know this and that, but you also know how to kill. If you want to do something, no one can stop you.
But what about Papa Ye and Mama Ye?
When they don't allow you to be with Lingjing, can you beat them to death?
They've raised you since you were young. Do you dare to disrespect them?
Even if you bypass them, you can take Lingjing away. Will Lingjing go with you?
Will she be happy if she goes with you?
You guys have to be prepared to face everything … You guys can't face anything. I … I treat you guys as my best friends, so … that's why I'm telling you this … "
"I understand …"
"You don't understand!"
Ya Han stared into his eyes for a long time before looking away and saying softly, "You guys have no future …"
"I never thought you would say that …" Jiaming looked at her with the same gaze and smiled helplessly.
"Then what should I say? I wish you guys happiness?
But I know how difficult this is, and you know … "Ya Han looked around and said superfluously," I … You guys are my best friends. That's why I'm saying this. I don't want … I don't want you guys to … "
"I know it's difficult, but I hope we can get through this."
Looking at Lingjing on stage through the glass window, Jiaming smiled. "We can only be together because we can't be separated now."
"That's just an excuse. You guys will be separated sooner or later." Ya Han was silent for a while before she said, "Then someone will be more seriously injured."
"Maybe. I won't rule out that possibility, but this is the only way now …"
There was another indescribable silence. Lingjing's voice flowed on stage.
"The merry-go-round makes you forget your injuries
Here is a paradise of mirth.
Looking at their envious eyes
Don't need to worry about me
The merry-go-round has no wings
But it can fly you everywhere
When the music stops, you have to leave
This is the only way
…
When the music stops, you have to leave
This is the only way I can … "
Three seconds after the music stopped, the auditorium burst into thunderous applause. Lingjing bowed and said thank you.
Ya Han and Jiaming watched in silence. Suddenly, Ya Han said, "Let's break up, Jiaming."
"Yeah?"
"You … you have to make a choice. Lingjing or Shasha, or neither. The later it is, the more painful it will be. You have to give up on one of them, or … I … I'm not forcing you to make a decision, but … I've always thought of myself as your sister. I don't want to see you like this in the future. Lingjing and Shasha are also my good friends. You're just a man's nature. Men are fickle. You'll hurt them both … I … I think of myself as your sister, I think of myself as … your sister …" After organizing her words for a long time and rambling on for so long, Ya Han suddenly realized that she was speaking incoherently and suddenly froze.
"I'm sorry … I don't know … I don't know why I said something like that. I shouldn't have said something like that, but … I don't know what's wrong with me. I … in the future, when we meet in school, don't say hello to me. Before you make a decision or I figure it out, we're no longer friends. We're no longer friends!"
Jiaming didn't expect her to suddenly say something like that. He frowned and walked around the table to her side. "Ya Han …"
"Don't touch me —"
The moment Jiaming's fingers touched her shoulder, Ya Han screamed as if she had been electrocuted. She slapped Jiaming's hand away and her body hit the table. The notebooks, a desk calendar, and the table lamp in front of her fell to the ground with a clatter.
Jiaming's hand froze in mid-air.
"You're being unreasonable …"
"You're fickle …"
"I'm not."
"You are!"
"You …"
Jia Ming looked at the two streams of tears that streaked across Ya Han's cheeks in the dark. He put down his hand in a daze, then sighed softly and took two steps back.
"Then … I'm sorry." Jiaming nodded and turned to the door. "Have some time alone, I'm leaving."
When Jiaming opened the door, he paused again. "I'm afraid what you said makes sense. It's not just Mom and Dad Ye. When you're angry, I can't do anything." Then, the door slammed shut, isolating her from the noise outside and also from Jiaming's figure.
Ya Han sat down shakily on the chair, covered her face, and began to cry softly.
