-Annual Ring Age-Seven Sounds

"Hey, team leader, did you see that?"

"What did you see?"

"Jean seems to be getting shorter..."

"Huh?" The elementary school team leader adjusted his 500-degree myopia glasses and looked at the stage. "It's only 0.1 centimeters shorter, so it's like expanding with heat and shrinking with cold."

"Oh... ehhh?!"

Well, keep looking back on the stage.

For the first time in his life, Levi was stunned, completely stunned.

Allen was in front of him, wearing a skirt, and there were thousands of spectators, including a bunch of inexplicably excited women...

What's up with this TM?

Allen on the bridge blinked his eyes, he thought 'Jean' had forgotten the words.

Ahh, this Baga, even after memorizing it for two days, I still forget the words!

He wanted to go crazy, but Levi misunderstood him because of the rehearsal, damn it.

Well, the atmosphere was silent for another minute. The musician played the prelude over and over again. Allen kept winking with a dark face, but the people under the bridge just kept silent.

In fact, it's not that Levi didn't act in a play when he was a student, but he killed everyone in that play, including the director.

Glancing around a few times, he found the words 'The Phantom of the Opera' on the curtain.Well, if he passed CET-5, wouldn't he know that it is the legendary Phantom of the Opera?The opera that the school forced to watch [-] times?

Looking at the situation, it should be the scene where the ghost took the heroine away. Thinking about the mask on his face, there is no doubt that it is Eric.

In a short period of time, Levi completed the judgment of the scene and the search for the plot.It is impossible to completely remember the lines, but the skeleton is already there, so is it difficult to add meat?

"Christine."

He lowered his voice, his voice was cold, as if calling his lover's name softly.

(A certain tip: I’ve heard Kaji’s song, the voice is neutral and nice, but I’ve never heard of God’s Valley Empress, so I won’t let the captain sing here... Ahhh, I’m definitely not questioning the captain voice!)

Ding.

Allen's heart shook.

This voice... this voice...

He who was still annoyed just now is in a mess now, only the owner of that voice lingers in his mind.

'Ellen. '

"Christine."

Ignoring the collectively relieved orchestra and the nympho audience because of Levi's sexy voice, Allen is completely in the play... Ah no, it's more like being "substituted" than being in the play that person's world.

Passive.

No way, that man just has the charm to attract others.

Just like when I met for the first time a few years ago, I was shocked by his eyes until I was sucked away by my soul.

'I will give you a new life. '

Men once made promises very seriously.

Hate it, talk like a savior, but it turned out to be against my will.

Ah, sure enough, I should report this situation to the team leader...

However, when Allen turned his head, he found that the team leader's eyes were extremely fanatical... Uh, if I have to describe it, it's like, dear reader, you saw a pair of handsome guys kissing passionately on the street, that kind of eyes... …

He could understand, what the team leader wanted to express was 'If you don't obediently kiss me today, it will be over!Yoho...'

Please allow him to have a cold war. Compared with the fact that Levi can act, he is more afraid that the team leader will go to the teacher to complain, so he finally invites the parents because of insufficient credits... Well, in the end, he is still afraid of Levi...

Just act as you say.

demo... what's the next line?Ah, it seems that Levi's words didn't follow the script at all!There is obviously something to be sung here, something to be sung!But why are the students who are supporting dancers singing and dancing, but why are the two protagonists stunned like idiots? !

And you viewers, why are you all so jerky and nympho? !Didn't you find that the plot went off track, did it go off track? !

"Brighter than the stars are your eyes."

That's when Levi read.I really read it...the voice has no ups and downs at all!

So, I want to sing!Levi!And it should be sung with enthusiasm and excitement!Doesn't this make me unable to take it...

At this moment, under the stage, the team leader pushed his glasses again. "Hey, don't you think it's weird to make today?"

"Did you just find out?!"

"It seems...more handsome..."

"..."

By the way...team leader, the point is not here!

The camera then shifts to Alan and Levi.

Allen, who had no way to answer the words, could only sing along with the script as if talking to himself, while Levi simply acted in pantomime.

As a result, such a beautiful scene was formed. The seductive "beauty" stood on the high bridge, singing a suggestive libretto, while climbing to a higher place along the spiral ladder, and the protagonist Eric who was supposed to interact with him Standing under the bridge with arms folded completely uninvited!

The friends were all dumbfounded, and the judges and teachers all cried...

I have never seen such an excellent work of subversive postmodernism asceticism!

When the lyrics were finally sung, Allen also climbed to the top.

The music stopped suddenly, and all the students who accompanied the dancers slowly raised their heads, focusing on Alan who was high above.

At the same time, all light effects are turned off, and the spotlight hits Levi who has been very, very calm again.

Looking up at the high platform, Levi frowned.

It's really high...

He was so tall that he could hardly see Alan's face clearly.

But he knew inexplicably that the child must have a sad face, so he shackled himself on the high tower like this, and suddenly pulled the distance away.

Subconsciously, both Levi and Allen know that some boundaries cannot be crossed.

Just like now, Allen is just looking down from the high platform, and Levi is just looking up from under the bridge.

Neither of them took the first step...

Thinking about the past few years, Levi finds it ridiculous.

With a kid who met by chance, from meeting, to cohabitation, to now liking to wanting to have sex with him...

After all, he didn't even believe it himself.

but.

He is no ordinary person.

There are no words like flinch and fear in Levi's dictionary, and at the same time, it means that he doesn't care about anyone's eyes.

Except Allen.

No matter how far the distance between the two is.

No matter how high the obstacles in the middle are.

Love is unlimited.

There are no boundaries at all, no constraints at all.

What really shackles the heart is actually the instinctive resistance of human nature.

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Levi took the first step.

The audience was silent, and even the children knew that the drama was about to reach its climax.

Silver steps, golden handrails.

The man wearing a black coat and a silver mask climbed up slowly. There was no wind around, but the hem of his clothes fluttered naturally behind him, giving people a sense of domineering oppression. (The more handsome Minna thinks, the better!)

"Yesterday, I stepped on the sky full of stars and met you in the vast crowd."

He spoke calmly.

"Today, I take advantage of the midnight breeze to follow your footsteps again."

walk up the bridge.

"In the past, my arrogance made me unable to understand the relationship between people."

Go up the spiral staircase.

"At that time, I finally realized the true meaning of love."

He slowly climbed up, the lights and the eyes of the audience followed him up, and it felt like the whole world was focused on this place.

Allen clenched his fists.

Every word Levi said hit his heart hard, how much he actually wished, how much he wished that those words were directed at himself...

"Under the mask, what I hide is my fragility and cowardice."

The man continued talking.

"However, precisely because of this unnecessary concealment, what is exposed is a fatal weakness."

"Humans avoid because of fear, miss out because of avoiding, regret because of missing, suffer because of regret, and fear because of pain."

"Maybe I have a scary face, maybe I'm a cold 'ghost' in the eyes of ordinary people."

At this point Levi has climbed to a position close to the top of the tower.

"But the eyes of the world can't limit my feelings, I love, so I will never give up."

"No matter how deep the misunderstanding is, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will work hard to fight for it."

The footsteps stopped.

Levi finally confronts a stunned Eren.

Ah, it's finally here.

He smiles.

"I love you."

Bang!

The second group of fireworks show started, and the colorful light and shadow spread to the theater.

Colors flickered on Alan and Levi, but at this moment, only each other was left in their eyes.

Love is all about drama.

Just like this time, Levi slowly hooked Alan's neck, wrapped his arms around the boy's waist, and kissed the lips that he had admired for a long time.

The band played music.

The audience applauded.

In this drama, the performers have put their heart and soul into it, but I don't know if the audience will pay attention.

After a long time, when Levi finally let go, Alan came back to his senses.

"Levi...ah no, Eric...I..."

He was so flustered that he couldn't organize his words at all, he just bowed his head in embarrassment.

That's when Levi gently lifts his chin with his fingertips.

"I only kiss people I love."

he said softly.

"So don't call me that, it's not Christine I'm kissing, it's Ellen."

consternation.

love... love...

Someone Levi loves...

Allen was completely stunned.

"Hey, brat." Levi clamped his jaw suddenly, his expression fierce. "I broke all the rules for you..."

"So, if you refuse, I will kick you out of the house."

"Hey, Ellen."

"I love you, really."

Allen suddenly wanted to cry. If he had to choose between life and this confession, he would be willing to die.

After so long, after waiting for so long, I can finally hear, to hear this sentence... It's like dreaming!

Is it a dream?Could this be a dream?

But the person in front of him, this heat, this look in his eyes, is clearly so real.

"I... I also... like..."

Before he finished speaking, Levi's lips and tongue came up again, blocking his words.

Maybe nothing matters anymore.

All you want to ask, you haven't asked; all you want to say, you haven't said.

It doesn't matter anymore.

At this moment, as long as we hug each other tightly, that's enough.

The fireworks are still blooming high in the sky.

For real, forever.

Tears slid down the face, but it was happiness.

***

The cut tree has rings of annual rings inside.

That is the trace of time, and it is also the soul that makes up the wood.

Every year, a change.

Year after year, change with change.

The flow of time will always leave traces on people, including the heart.

Eternal things, say there are, and there are.

Say no, and no.

As the years go by, something must change and something must remain the same.

I don't believe in fate or anything.

But what is certain is that only by taking the first step can we go to the last step.

"Don't deny without trying."

Allen said so many years later.
