"Lin Suyu, I warn you not to challenge my patience..."
"Wait, Ah Su, no matter what, this is too much, you can't blame others, no one wants such a thing to happen!"
buzzing.
It was as if countless bugs were flying frantically around his ears, accompanied by almost unbearable pain in his body.
Don't talk about it, Su Yu, it's fine if he doesn't go on stage...
It's all his fault, so stop talking...
Even the thin back of his friend was blurred into a double image in his eyes at this time. Luo Xiao, who was so painful that he wished that he could faint immediately, tried hard several times, but there was still no movement in his throat, only the collapse like a vacuum. silence.
Luo Xiao, whose consciousness has begun to slacken, can't even do the simple action of stretching out his hand to grab a friend. Sometimes he is awake and sometimes chaotic, making the quarrels that linger around him seem remote, like radio waves with poor reception. intermittently passed into his ears.
"Lin! Su! Yu! Don't force me to tie you here until the end of the performance! Brother Yi, go get the hemp rope and come here. I'll tie you up. If anything goes wrong, I'm to blame!"
"Okay, don't quarrel, everyone can take a step back? Lao Ke is not here now, is he? Ask him to ask the program group if we can move the order of our groups backward so that the group behind will go first. If you wait for the last Ah Xiao still can’t make it to the stage for a show, so I’ll drag him up to dance, okay? Do you think it’s okay?”
"The sequence of performances is really at the limit...! Ah Xiao is in such a state that I am scared, Xiao Yu, do you really want to force him to dance?"
After being reminded by Zhu Xuanzhen, Lin Suyu regained a little sobriety, subconsciously turned around to look at Luo Xiao——
The friend's weak expression at this time was extremely pitiful, his lips that were already blue now had a tendency to turn purple, and he closed his eyelids and leaned against the wall, panting slightly, like a withered straw that might be chilled by the cold at any time. The wind blows away and then disappears.
This unpleasant feeling made his heart jump suddenly, and his somewhat broken mind quickly returned to his place.
He squatted down, Luo Xiao stretched out his hand with great difficulty, grabbed the corner of his clothes with his fingertips, and shook his head slowly.
Lin Suyu naturally knew what this meant.
His eye circles turned red immediately, he hugged Luo Xiao tightly, gently patted his friend's back which was reflected cold by the wall tiles, and said softly: "It's okay, Xiao Xiao, it's not your fault, you don't need to feel guilty... I can definitely go on stage, I promised you...it's okay, it's okay, Xiaoxiao calm down, don't be afraid..."
Being hugged so tightly by Lin Suyu, Luo Xiao naturally felt that his friend's body was trembling at this moment, as if a dying person on the verge of despair, who could not wait for tomorrow's sun, was embracing a flower that was destined not to bloom with his last strength.
Obviously the one who couldn't get on the stage was Luo Xiao, but Lin Suyu panicked as if he was about to drown and clinging to the last straw. He shattered like a piece of glass at this moment in a one-on-three manner just now, and was caught by Luo Xiao. The abandonment and relief in Xiao's eyes were crushed into powder that could no longer be put together.
"Don't give up, there is still hope..." His tone was both painful and desperate, and the young man who had always been calm as if the sky was falling apart and didn't care about it said with red eyes, "Why should you consider other people's thoughts, why? Ah... It's your wish to be on stage, don't think about other people's feelings, no matter what happens, I will solve it for you and pave the way for you... Please be selfish..."
"I've already promised you not to buy sailors or do marketing, and I've made plans to go home with you to meet my aunt after the stage...why, why can't I even help you with the wish of going on stage? I was busy last time..."
"I just want you to be happy. If I can't even make you happy, what's the point of my life..."
The boy's mournful cry of pain vibrated back and forth in the room, his eye sockets were too dry to shed tears, but his eyes were red, as if they were about to ooze blood and tears.
I really want to touch Lin Suyu's hair to comfort him, but the shaking of his head just now has exhausted all Luo Xiao's energy, and the consciousness that was already on the edge of the cliff has become blurred again.
No, you don't have to make me happy.
It's a pleasure to be with you, so don't do anything else for me.
Su Yu, don't cry...
— don't cry.
"I didn't cry."
The still young friend lowered his head, rubbed his fingers together softly, and said timidly.
Among the elementary school textbooks scattered on the ground, a full-score test paper that was torn into two pieces of paper was particularly clear.
The obvious redness and swelling on the cheeks from the slap hadn't dissipated yet, but my friend acted as if he didn't notice it, his glazed eyes were full of anxiety, and he said cautiously, "Actually, I was crying. I'm sorry... did I bother you?"
He wanted to answer no, but his throat was still tightly blocked by a rag, and he couldn't speak at all.
Because of fear, his body was still trembling uncontrollably, and the water cup that was thrown on the ground under his feet was torn apart and solidified on the clear water, like an eternal tragedy engraved on a stone tablet.
Seeing his gaze on the test paper, Lin Suyu subconsciously stepped on the bright red 100: "This time I did better than you in the test, and he deserved to hit me... I, I won't take the test so high again next time." The score of the..."
No, that person is just looking for an excuse to hit you.
Next time you get stuck at 60, I will beat you again with the reason of "what's the use of raising a waste like you who can only pass the test".
"Don't... don't abandon me, okay?"
The hand was so lightly pulled, and Lin Suyu, who still had a soft bun face, flinched, subconsciously raised his face, and begged in a fawning manner: "I won't rob my aunt and uncle, so don't chase me away." Let's go...I'll give you whatever you want..."
Why on earth would you say such a thing...
"With Xiaoxiao here, I will throw you away sooner or later. With my own son here, why should I raise you, a white-eyed wolf who is not related by blood~"
"Xiaoxiao, don't play with him anymore, he is here to rob your parents, take your parents away, your parents don't want you~ Hey, why are you crying, ouch, crying so sad... ... Tsk tsk, children are so delicate now, they can't bear to be teased at all..."
Ah, yes, it seems that this kind of talk was heard a lot at that time, and it was especially hardest hit when returning to relatives' homes for New Year's greetings.
Because I really hated it to the bone, I even buried them in the deepest part of my memory with the most hated person in my life until I thought I had forgotten them.
It's just that he deliberately forced himself to clear his memory, but Lin Suyu seemed to remember it in his heart, engraving the traces in his heart stroke by stroke along with other people's gossip.
The 16-year-old Lin Suyu can pretend nothing happened, but it is impossible for Lin Suyu, who is still a soft blob, to keep all his emotions in his heart.
Just like Luo Xiao who can't make any sound now, facing Lin Suyu's pleading at that time, the young Luo Xiao was also so confused that she didn't know what to say.
He is really too young, he doesn't understand what it means to be under the fence, let alone being alone in the wind and rain, because a child who dare not sleep all night because he is afraid of the dark finally waits for the first hand that is willing to extend to him. What kind of thoughts do you have to hold on tightly.
He only vaguely remembered that from that day on, Lin Suyu had nothing to like, and naturally nothing to dislike.
But why do you think about this day again?
Hearing the sound of the doorknob turning, his nerves suddenly tightened.
When she heard the voice of her mother Luo Zhi, Luo Xiao could only feel the screams suppressed in her throat, as if the seedlings were arching in the soil and might break out of the ground at any time.
Don't, mom, don't come in...!
In his terrified pupils, the doorknob was slowly pressed——
…………
Click, click, there was the sound of the door being locked.
"What are you doing?"
The boy outside the door complained that the voice was Cen Xingguang who had just finished the stage.
Only a few people remembered that they were quarreling in the public restroom. Although the restroom is located in a remote place, people would come here occasionally.
Zhu Xuanzhen was the last one to come in. After seeing Luo Xiao's state, he subconsciously locked the door - he knew that Luo Xiao was strong and thin-skinned, and remembering that the youngest Zhang Qilian from his family also had this personality, he felt that Luo Xiao would definitely not want to be treated like this by his wife. Many people saw it and locked the door without much thought.
As a result, the irrelevant people who eat melons are now shut out.
Hearing the knock on the door, Zhu Xuanzhen tried to make his tone appear normal: "Sorry, it's full."
The boy outside the door let out an "oh".
Several people inside the door held their breath, and heard Cen Xingguang whisper clearly: "What the hell, the toilet door is locked when I go to the toilet, how can such a remote place be full of people? Oh, my mother!" , wouldn’t it be indescribable in the toilet?”
Lu Zhenglin: "..."
Cruise: "..."
Zhu Xuanzhen: "..."
"Huh, isn't that right?" Cen Xingguang suddenly raised his voice, "Is that Zhu Xuanzhen inside?"
At this time, Zhu Xuanzhen couldn't help denying it, his voice was very distinctive, and it was easy to recognize, so he could only respond with an aggrieved face: "Yes, I am."
"Brother, don't you know that Sister Chai is looking for you like crazy? Wait, it won't be You Yi and Lu Zhenglin who are with you, right? My God, don't you guys look at your phone? Sister Chai is about to smash the phone Now, there are only a few groups left and it will be your turn, what are you doing?"
Several people were taken aback for a moment, Lu Zhenglin raised his empty hands to indicate that he did not bring his mobile phone, and Zhu Xuanzhen began to sweat looking at the dozens of missed calls on his mobile phone.
The atmosphere just now was so tense that he even forgot to notify Ke Guning. It is estimated that Ke Guning is sitting helplessly in the backcourt now, facing the situation where his teammates disappear collectively, he has already begun to doubt his life.
"I see... May I trouble you to go back and tell Sister Chai to adjust the order of our programs backward?"
"……what?"
I don't know what Cen Xingguang made up in his head. After a long silence that made people feel flustered, he sighed: "Hey, let me tell you, are you all so fierce before the stage... Be careful. The toilet is not clean, Take care of your hygiene...do you need me to send some alcohol hand sanitizer?"
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he sent away Cen Xingguang, who was full of thoughts, and You Yi asked in a low voice, "What should I do now? Why do I feel that Ah Su is in a daze?"
Lin Suyu has been acting like a fool since just now, holding Luo Xiao and begging repeatedly, it doesn't look like encouraging Luo Xiao, but more like giving herself a reason to persevere - as if once Luo Xiao can't hold on anymore, He also collapsed accordingly, like the catkins that left the dandelion and were completely swallowed by the soil in the despair of not being able to wait for the wind.
His face was as dead ashes and even his voice was trembling, even seeing him felt like his heart was about to break.
Although he knew that he had done nothing wrong, seeing Lin Suyu's current appearance, he felt very guilty, and even felt very guilty.
It is obvious that Lin Suyu is the one making trouble for no reason, why is he feeling guilty...!
I couldn't help complaining about myself, and lamented in Youyou's throat: "What the hell did I do wrong to encounter this kind of thing... If it's our stage, Ah Xiao still can't get better, what should we do?" ?”
Lu Zhenglin said sarcastically, "Of course you will carry him up to dance."
——This is indeed what You Yi said when he was furious just now.
You Yi, who was about to scold, thought of this, and immediately fell silent.
Barefoot people are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If Lin Suyu is really crazy and wants to die with them, the three people present naturally can't fight it out-although they don't believe that Lin Suyu can really do such a crazy thing, but after all, it's a mouse trick, and Lin Suyu is now Anyone who looks at the state will feel that something is wrong. Once the conscience is overwhelmed and bound by morality, You You only thinks that this time is really going to end.
Help, they are just ordinary good-natured youths who have to recite the Great Compassion Mantra before stepping on cockroaches, and they have to run into this kind of risk in the entertainment industry. Did they owe Lin Suyu in their previous life! ?
"If this drags on, we will probably become the first group to lie down on the stage collectively, and we will really become famous." Lu Zhenglin clapped his hands, probably because all the people present were acquaintances, and he didn't bother to show tenderness in front of others. With a smile on his face, he looked like he was waiting to die.
With Luo Xiao like this, anyone with eyes knows that it is impossible for him to get better in such a short period of time.To be honest, Lu Zhenglin even suspected that Lin Suyu hated Luo Xiao to the core, otherwise Luo Xiao would be in a coma at any moment, so how could Lin Suyu be so confident that he could still go on stage?
Think about it in another way, if Youyou turned into such a ghost, he must send Youyou to the hospital first, okay?
Because the emotions were too intense just now, Lu Zhenglin now only feels that his head is churning up and down. There are scenes of group ridicule all over the place.
In just a few seconds, he still thought of the scene of himself sitting alone and miserably on the side of the road selling vegetables in his old age, and the scene of himself with gray and silver hair, staggering, pushing a tricycle and The urban management battled wits and courage, and finally fell to the ground. The people around looked at him in horror, thinking that it was the miserable old life of Pengci scattered.
The messy thoughts in his head finally exploded when he saw Lin Suyu's unbelievable, dejected look about to collapse at any time.
"I said, can you stop acting like this kind of victim? I'm so fucking out of my mind to listen to your bullshit here, you..."
"A Lin, A Lin, calm down!" As soon as he heard his friend's swearing, You Yi knew that his friend was really about to collapse, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Don't worry about it so much, if Ah Xiao really can't get on by then stage, I’ll lift him up to jump, really! Don’t worry, there won’t be a situation where no one is on the stage!”
The result is of course...
Did not persuade.
"I should have found a rope to tie you to the slop bucket in the cafeteria, and let the truck pull you out, so I wouldn't have fallen to this level now..."
Speaking of this, Lu Zhenglin's eyes also turned red: "What on earth was I thinking at the beginning? If I hate you, then I won't contact you. I just ignore you... I should find a reason to pick on you. , Let the program team kick you out! What a considerate big brother, I quit, I will be a vicious stepmother today! If you want to die together, at worst, everyone will go back and push the tricycle on the side of the road together! The body protects the cabbage that I have worked so hard to pick! Ah! Who is afraid of whom!"
Cruise: "..."
stunned.
He really didn't know what his friend was thinking during the short silence just now, he just felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the conversation.
Lu Zhenglin almost forgot that he was still wearing makeup on his face. Just as he raised his sleeve to wipe it off, he put down the powder eyeshadow that touched the corner of his eye. After taking a deep breath for more than a minute, he said calmly, "You're going to die." I don't stop, I don't want to die yet, Luo Xiao is the best to be on the stage today, if he can't, that's his own problem, I don't think I have any faults and responsibilities that need to be borne for him, let's face it together and give up the stage together. "
Seeing that Lin Suyu finally raised his head to look at him, Lu Zhenglin said expressionlessly, "Whether you like it or not, let me put it here. I never thought about keeping Luo Xiao from going on stage, but this is the end of the matter, I have to prepare a second-hand Plan. Brother Zhu, call Gu Ning to come over and re-queue."
"You can try." Lin Suyu said indifferently with the same cold expression, "You have to do this with sincerity, and if you are on this stage, be careful that you won't have the chance to be on the stage next time."
Lu Zhenglin laughed back angrily: "Are you threatening me? You can't pay for marketing, and you don't have any background in the backstage. Those friends you made may not be willing to face me head-on because of something like you... "
"I don't expect others to help me, I only believe in myself." Lin Suyu said calmly, "Although I have nothing, at least I still have this life. Threatening you with this, Lu Zhenglin, I think it is enough, right? "
Lu Zhenglin was really going crazy: "Are you crazy? You threatened me with suicide just because of Luo Xiao? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"
"It's not obvious that he was kicked by a donkey, do we need to ask..." At this juncture, You Yi still couldn't hold back his complaints.
"Luo Xiao is just your brother. Is it necessary for you to do this for him? Lin Suyu, can you be more sober?" If it wasn't for You Yi who kept grabbing his shoulder, Lu Zhenglin almost wanted to rush up to Lin Suyu and crack his ears. , "Look at what you have done. If you can do this to yourself, I think you will be able to make your C debut! Luo Xiao doesn't care that you do so much for him, you don't care. What is Luo Xiao thinking! You still have the nerve to say that I am selfish, you are selfish to the core, in order to make yourself feel at ease, you keep giving him things that you think he will like, you are just a bitch I'm still too selfish, what qualifications do you have to show me this way to teach me!?"
At the end, he was almost roaring: "What do you think you know about me, but you only know me for less than a month, and you come to me and pretend to know me well, and judge me..."
You Yi panicked and supported Lu Zhenglin, who was almost speechless, and saw tears welling up in his friend's eyes.
"Obviously, Luo Xiao can't make it to the stage, I'm the one who's most sad—!" Lu Zhenglin endured so much that his voice almost changed, "I taught him every step of the way, from positioning to dancing moves and vocal skills. I taught it... Is it what I want to happen, I want to see him perform exactly what I taught on the stage..."
"After the accident, the first reaction is to minimize the impact of the stage accident, isn't it the first reaction? Who would think of causing a power outage at the venue when a teammate is sick... Now I look like a bad person, you Lin Suyu What is there to be wronged, I am the mother who is wronged, I am wronged and exploded, woo..."
"Okay, Ah Lin... Oh my god, your make-up is going to cry, why are you so emotional today?" You Yi hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.
Lu Zhenglin clenched his fists tightly, trying to hold back his tears, sobbing, "I was afraid that you would be worried, so I lied... Actually, I didn't bring sleeping pills, so I couldn't sleep at all. I was awake all night last night and passed it with my eyes closed. No... no, I'm going to collapse, I just want to stuff myself into a firework tube and launch it into the air to explode into a firework..."
You Yue almost lost his breath.
No wonder Lu Zhenglin looked so strange today, it turned out that he didn't sleep well and started talking nonsense...!
Lu Zhenglin didn't notice You Yi's eyes at all, he patted his face randomly with a handkerchief, and said to Zhu Xuanzhen: "How long will Brother Gu Ning be here?"
Only then did Zhu Xuanzhen look away from the phone screen, and bitterness appeared on his always gentle face: "...it's too late, Sister Chai knows we're here."
After a pause, he added, "Cen Xingguang probably told her when he went back."
Lu Zhenglin, who was thinking of getting rid of the matter before it got serious, was really dumbfounded at this moment.
He knew that since Lin Suyu could say that he wanted to drag them into the water, he would definitely be able to do it - he never doubted this, but the program crew didn't know!
If Chai Fei came, her first reaction would definitely be to tell Luo Xiao not to go on stage and go to see a doctor, so there was no need to think about it.
Everyone is a normal person, and the thinking mode of this brain circuit must be the same!
And if he is here, Lin Suyu is still willing to discuss the conditions with them. If the people from the program group come, then there is no need to talk about it. Lin Suyu, you should retire quickly to save yourself!
Zhu Xuanzhen added: "She said in the text message that she has come, and I guess it should be there in 3 minutes."
3 minutes!
Lu Zhenglin's eyes darkened.
You Yi didn't know what Chai Fei's arrival would mean, and he even breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe the program crew could persuade Lin Suyu.
Hearing the news, Lin Suyu's attitude could be called indifferent, and he even bent his lips and smiled: "It's pretty good."
——Very well, then everyone will die together.
Hearing the subtext of this sentence, Lu Zhenglin's mind buzzed for a moment, inexplicably thinking of a long time ago, on that sunny afternoon, when he received the company's notice that he was going to debut, he was full of hope and thought that this would be a good time to usher in the future. future him.
The shattering of hope that mercilessly tramples people to the bottom of the valley is especially fatal.
And now, it was the second time, when he was about to touch the distant star, someone suddenly took away the ladder under his feet.
"Lin Suyu, I will warn you for the last time." Lu Zhenglin rolled up his sleeves, and when he was smiling, his shallow and tender eyes were as cold as the cold water of a knife, "Even if I'm sorry to everyone, I'm not sorry to you and Luo Xiao... ...You are not qualified to let me make concessions to you!"
"Is this a fight?" Lin Suyu laughed, "The consequence of a fight is to retire directly, you probably don't know that?"
"It's okay to say that you have a hysterical attack and tie you up, and then persuade the program team to let you withdraw from the competition." Lu Zhenglin pulled down the curtain hanging in the bathroom, and it turned out that he really planned to tie up Lin Suyu. , so frightened that You Yi rushed over and held Lu Zhenglin's hand.
"A Lin, calm down..."
"I'm calm, I'm very calm! Brother Yi, get out of the way, this is my business, it has nothing to do with you—"
"enough--!"
The sky-shattering bang was accompanied by the roar of shattering, and the jingling shards pierced people's ears as crisply as jade beads falling to the ground.
Everyone was startled.
Panting for breath, Zhu Xuanzhen retracted his fist with red fingers.
Behind him, the mirror that shattered like a spider's web quickly collapsed, and the sharp pieces hit the sink and the ground, making harsh noises.
The eldest brother held his head wearily, and was about to say something when the silent room returned, but Luo Xiao's vague and strenuous cry sounded suddenly: "Let go of my mother..."
Lu Zhenglin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at Luo Xiao——
The black-haired boy raised his head with tears all over his face. In a trance, he didn't seem to know where he was, and repeated in a firm tone while crying: "Let go of my mother...!"
…………
After long-term beatings that came suddenly and disappeared without knowing when they appeared and disappeared, he would tremble subconsciously when he heard the sound of glass and metal objects falling to the ground without any mental preparation.
Even after several years, the sound of other people accidentally breaking the water glass will still catch him off guard and make his brain stop functioning, as if there will be severe pain coming from an unexpected direction in the next second.
But this time is different.
Hearing the sound of something falling and smashing to the ground in the room, Luo Xiao opened the door while trembling. Amidst the tears, he rushed towards the bloody ground, shouting hoarsely. He said the words that he dared not utter even in his dreams——
"Let go of my mother...!"
That day, he was covering Lin Suyu's ears in the room, but he himself heard the whole process, from how his mother wailed until he couldn't make a sound, he seemed to be frozen all over, and wanted to rush out to protect her, but he was so scared that no matter what He couldn't make a sound, and couldn't even move his legs.
Luo Zhi, who was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, was beaten so hard that her hearing was damaged and she was deaf in one ear.
Even though he knew that, given his young condition at the time, it was impossible to change anything even if he ran out, but he kept regretting it in his heart.
If, at that time, if he ran out, would it be different?
If he could be stronger, would he be able to protect his younger brother and mother?
But in fact, even in a dream, he could only hold Lin Suyu in his arms at a loss, listening to the movement outside, looking at the door that seemed to never be opened, and regretting.
Until I vaguely heard the shout of my friend——
"Xiaoxiao, don't give up, there is still hope..."
After a few years, he finally stepped out of the door that had been closed tightly for many years, and yelled out the words buried deep in his heart.
Although, the reality is not as earth-shattering as he thought.
He just collapsed in the messy bathroom. A group of people looked at him with dull faces and burst into tears. His voice was as thin as that of a newborn kitten stretching out its paws with amniotic fluid, and issued its first speech to this brand new world. cry.
Zhu Xuanzhen took a breath, and the tired smile on his face turned into the usual gentleness like water. He opened the door, and said softly to Chai Fei, who was still knocking on the door desperately, and said softly, "We have nothing to do, I'm sorry, it will be soon." to be on stage.”
Seemingly not noticing Chai Fei's expression of being startled by the shards of glass and the pulled down curtain, Zhu Xuanzhen said gently, "Soon, don't worry."
Behind him, Lin Suyu sat on the ground as if he lost his strength.
Luo Xiao stroked his hair lightly, her voice seemed to come from a far away place: "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
"Wait, Ah Su, no matter what, this is too much, you can't blame others, no one wants such a thing to happen!"
buzzing.
It was as if countless bugs were flying frantically around his ears, accompanied by almost unbearable pain in his body.
Don't talk about it, Su Yu, it's fine if he doesn't go on stage...
It's all his fault, so stop talking...
Even the thin back of his friend was blurred into a double image in his eyes at this time. Luo Xiao, who was so painful that he wished that he could faint immediately, tried hard several times, but there was still no movement in his throat, only the collapse like a vacuum. silence.
Luo Xiao, whose consciousness has begun to slacken, can't even do the simple action of stretching out his hand to grab a friend. Sometimes he is awake and sometimes chaotic, making the quarrels that linger around him seem remote, like radio waves with poor reception. intermittently passed into his ears.
"Lin! Su! Yu! Don't force me to tie you here until the end of the performance! Brother Yi, go get the hemp rope and come here. I'll tie you up. If anything goes wrong, I'm to blame!"
"Okay, don't quarrel, everyone can take a step back? Lao Ke is not here now, is he? Ask him to ask the program group if we can move the order of our groups backward so that the group behind will go first. If you wait for the last Ah Xiao still can’t make it to the stage for a show, so I’ll drag him up to dance, okay? Do you think it’s okay?”
"The sequence of performances is really at the limit...! Ah Xiao is in such a state that I am scared, Xiao Yu, do you really want to force him to dance?"
After being reminded by Zhu Xuanzhen, Lin Suyu regained a little sobriety, subconsciously turned around to look at Luo Xiao——
The friend's weak expression at this time was extremely pitiful, his lips that were already blue now had a tendency to turn purple, and he closed his eyelids and leaned against the wall, panting slightly, like a withered straw that might be chilled by the cold at any time. The wind blows away and then disappears.
This unpleasant feeling made his heart jump suddenly, and his somewhat broken mind quickly returned to his place.
He squatted down, Luo Xiao stretched out his hand with great difficulty, grabbed the corner of his clothes with his fingertips, and shook his head slowly.
Lin Suyu naturally knew what this meant.
His eye circles turned red immediately, he hugged Luo Xiao tightly, gently patted his friend's back which was reflected cold by the wall tiles, and said softly: "It's okay, Xiao Xiao, it's not your fault, you don't need to feel guilty... I can definitely go on stage, I promised you...it's okay, it's okay, Xiaoxiao calm down, don't be afraid..."
Being hugged so tightly by Lin Suyu, Luo Xiao naturally felt that his friend's body was trembling at this moment, as if a dying person on the verge of despair, who could not wait for tomorrow's sun, was embracing a flower that was destined not to bloom with his last strength.
Obviously the one who couldn't get on the stage was Luo Xiao, but Lin Suyu panicked as if he was about to drown and clinging to the last straw. He shattered like a piece of glass at this moment in a one-on-three manner just now, and was caught by Luo Xiao. The abandonment and relief in Xiao's eyes were crushed into powder that could no longer be put together.
"Don't give up, there is still hope..." His tone was both painful and desperate, and the young man who had always been calm as if the sky was falling apart and didn't care about it said with red eyes, "Why should you consider other people's thoughts, why? Ah... It's your wish to be on stage, don't think about other people's feelings, no matter what happens, I will solve it for you and pave the way for you... Please be selfish..."
"I've already promised you not to buy sailors or do marketing, and I've made plans to go home with you to meet my aunt after the stage...why, why can't I even help you with the wish of going on stage? I was busy last time..."
"I just want you to be happy. If I can't even make you happy, what's the point of my life..."
The boy's mournful cry of pain vibrated back and forth in the room, his eye sockets were too dry to shed tears, but his eyes were red, as if they were about to ooze blood and tears.
I really want to touch Lin Suyu's hair to comfort him, but the shaking of his head just now has exhausted all Luo Xiao's energy, and the consciousness that was already on the edge of the cliff has become blurred again.
No, you don't have to make me happy.
It's a pleasure to be with you, so don't do anything else for me.
Su Yu, don't cry...
— don't cry.
"I didn't cry."
The still young friend lowered his head, rubbed his fingers together softly, and said timidly.
Among the elementary school textbooks scattered on the ground, a full-score test paper that was torn into two pieces of paper was particularly clear.
The obvious redness and swelling on the cheeks from the slap hadn't dissipated yet, but my friend acted as if he didn't notice it, his glazed eyes were full of anxiety, and he said cautiously, "Actually, I was crying. I'm sorry... did I bother you?"
He wanted to answer no, but his throat was still tightly blocked by a rag, and he couldn't speak at all.
Because of fear, his body was still trembling uncontrollably, and the water cup that was thrown on the ground under his feet was torn apart and solidified on the clear water, like an eternal tragedy engraved on a stone tablet.
Seeing his gaze on the test paper, Lin Suyu subconsciously stepped on the bright red 100: "This time I did better than you in the test, and he deserved to hit me... I, I won't take the test so high again next time." The score of the..."
No, that person is just looking for an excuse to hit you.
Next time you get stuck at 60, I will beat you again with the reason of "what's the use of raising a waste like you who can only pass the test".
"Don't... don't abandon me, okay?"
The hand was so lightly pulled, and Lin Suyu, who still had a soft bun face, flinched, subconsciously raised his face, and begged in a fawning manner: "I won't rob my aunt and uncle, so don't chase me away." Let's go...I'll give you whatever you want..."
Why on earth would you say such a thing...
"With Xiaoxiao here, I will throw you away sooner or later. With my own son here, why should I raise you, a white-eyed wolf who is not related by blood~"
"Xiaoxiao, don't play with him anymore, he is here to rob your parents, take your parents away, your parents don't want you~ Hey, why are you crying, ouch, crying so sad... ... Tsk tsk, children are so delicate now, they can't bear to be teased at all..."
Ah, yes, it seems that this kind of talk was heard a lot at that time, and it was especially hardest hit when returning to relatives' homes for New Year's greetings.
Because I really hated it to the bone, I even buried them in the deepest part of my memory with the most hated person in my life until I thought I had forgotten them.
It's just that he deliberately forced himself to clear his memory, but Lin Suyu seemed to remember it in his heart, engraving the traces in his heart stroke by stroke along with other people's gossip.
The 16-year-old Lin Suyu can pretend nothing happened, but it is impossible for Lin Suyu, who is still a soft blob, to keep all his emotions in his heart.
Just like Luo Xiao who can't make any sound now, facing Lin Suyu's pleading at that time, the young Luo Xiao was also so confused that she didn't know what to say.
He is really too young, he doesn't understand what it means to be under the fence, let alone being alone in the wind and rain, because a child who dare not sleep all night because he is afraid of the dark finally waits for the first hand that is willing to extend to him. What kind of thoughts do you have to hold on tightly.
He only vaguely remembered that from that day on, Lin Suyu had nothing to like, and naturally nothing to dislike.
But why do you think about this day again?
Hearing the sound of the doorknob turning, his nerves suddenly tightened.
When she heard the voice of her mother Luo Zhi, Luo Xiao could only feel the screams suppressed in her throat, as if the seedlings were arching in the soil and might break out of the ground at any time.
Don't, mom, don't come in...!
In his terrified pupils, the doorknob was slowly pressed——
…………
Click, click, there was the sound of the door being locked.
"What are you doing?"
The boy outside the door complained that the voice was Cen Xingguang who had just finished the stage.
Only a few people remembered that they were quarreling in the public restroom. Although the restroom is located in a remote place, people would come here occasionally.
Zhu Xuanzhen was the last one to come in. After seeing Luo Xiao's state, he subconsciously locked the door - he knew that Luo Xiao was strong and thin-skinned, and remembering that the youngest Zhang Qilian from his family also had this personality, he felt that Luo Xiao would definitely not want to be treated like this by his wife. Many people saw it and locked the door without much thought.
As a result, the irrelevant people who eat melons are now shut out.
Hearing the knock on the door, Zhu Xuanzhen tried to make his tone appear normal: "Sorry, it's full."
The boy outside the door let out an "oh".
Several people inside the door held their breath, and heard Cen Xingguang whisper clearly: "What the hell, the toilet door is locked when I go to the toilet, how can such a remote place be full of people? Oh, my mother!" , wouldn’t it be indescribable in the toilet?”
Lu Zhenglin: "..."
Cruise: "..."
Zhu Xuanzhen: "..."
"Huh, isn't that right?" Cen Xingguang suddenly raised his voice, "Is that Zhu Xuanzhen inside?"
At this time, Zhu Xuanzhen couldn't help denying it, his voice was very distinctive, and it was easy to recognize, so he could only respond with an aggrieved face: "Yes, I am."
"Brother, don't you know that Sister Chai is looking for you like crazy? Wait, it won't be You Yi and Lu Zhenglin who are with you, right? My God, don't you guys look at your phone? Sister Chai is about to smash the phone Now, there are only a few groups left and it will be your turn, what are you doing?"
Several people were taken aback for a moment, Lu Zhenglin raised his empty hands to indicate that he did not bring his mobile phone, and Zhu Xuanzhen began to sweat looking at the dozens of missed calls on his mobile phone.
The atmosphere just now was so tense that he even forgot to notify Ke Guning. It is estimated that Ke Guning is sitting helplessly in the backcourt now, facing the situation where his teammates disappear collectively, he has already begun to doubt his life.
"I see... May I trouble you to go back and tell Sister Chai to adjust the order of our programs backward?"
"……what?"
I don't know what Cen Xingguang made up in his head. After a long silence that made people feel flustered, he sighed: "Hey, let me tell you, are you all so fierce before the stage... Be careful. The toilet is not clean, Take care of your hygiene...do you need me to send some alcohol hand sanitizer?"
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he sent away Cen Xingguang, who was full of thoughts, and You Yi asked in a low voice, "What should I do now? Why do I feel that Ah Su is in a daze?"
Lin Suyu has been acting like a fool since just now, holding Luo Xiao and begging repeatedly, it doesn't look like encouraging Luo Xiao, but more like giving herself a reason to persevere - as if once Luo Xiao can't hold on anymore, He also collapsed accordingly, like the catkins that left the dandelion and were completely swallowed by the soil in the despair of not being able to wait for the wind.
His face was as dead ashes and even his voice was trembling, even seeing him felt like his heart was about to break.
Although he knew that he had done nothing wrong, seeing Lin Suyu's current appearance, he felt very guilty, and even felt very guilty.
It is obvious that Lin Suyu is the one making trouble for no reason, why is he feeling guilty...!
I couldn't help complaining about myself, and lamented in Youyou's throat: "What the hell did I do wrong to encounter this kind of thing... If it's our stage, Ah Xiao still can't get better, what should we do?" ?”
Lu Zhenglin said sarcastically, "Of course you will carry him up to dance."
——This is indeed what You Yi said when he was furious just now.
You Yi, who was about to scold, thought of this, and immediately fell silent.
Barefoot people are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If Lin Suyu is really crazy and wants to die with them, the three people present naturally can't fight it out-although they don't believe that Lin Suyu can really do such a crazy thing, but after all, it's a mouse trick, and Lin Suyu is now Anyone who looks at the state will feel that something is wrong. Once the conscience is overwhelmed and bound by morality, You You only thinks that this time is really going to end.
Help, they are just ordinary good-natured youths who have to recite the Great Compassion Mantra before stepping on cockroaches, and they have to run into this kind of risk in the entertainment industry. Did they owe Lin Suyu in their previous life! ?
"If this drags on, we will probably become the first group to lie down on the stage collectively, and we will really become famous." Lu Zhenglin clapped his hands, probably because all the people present were acquaintances, and he didn't bother to show tenderness in front of others. With a smile on his face, he looked like he was waiting to die.
With Luo Xiao like this, anyone with eyes knows that it is impossible for him to get better in such a short period of time.To be honest, Lu Zhenglin even suspected that Lin Suyu hated Luo Xiao to the core, otherwise Luo Xiao would be in a coma at any moment, so how could Lin Suyu be so confident that he could still go on stage?
Think about it in another way, if Youyou turned into such a ghost, he must send Youyou to the hospital first, okay?
Because the emotions were too intense just now, Lu Zhenglin now only feels that his head is churning up and down. There are scenes of group ridicule all over the place.
In just a few seconds, he still thought of the scene of himself sitting alone and miserably on the side of the road selling vegetables in his old age, and the scene of himself with gray and silver hair, staggering, pushing a tricycle and The urban management battled wits and courage, and finally fell to the ground. The people around looked at him in horror, thinking that it was the miserable old life of Pengci scattered.
The messy thoughts in his head finally exploded when he saw Lin Suyu's unbelievable, dejected look about to collapse at any time.
"I said, can you stop acting like this kind of victim? I'm so fucking out of my mind to listen to your bullshit here, you..."
"A Lin, A Lin, calm down!" As soon as he heard his friend's swearing, You Yi knew that his friend was really about to collapse, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Don't worry about it so much, if Ah Xiao really can't get on by then stage, I’ll lift him up to jump, really! Don’t worry, there won’t be a situation where no one is on the stage!”
The result is of course...
Did not persuade.
"I should have found a rope to tie you to the slop bucket in the cafeteria, and let the truck pull you out, so I wouldn't have fallen to this level now..."
Speaking of this, Lu Zhenglin's eyes also turned red: "What on earth was I thinking at the beginning? If I hate you, then I won't contact you. I just ignore you... I should find a reason to pick on you. , Let the program team kick you out! What a considerate big brother, I quit, I will be a vicious stepmother today! If you want to die together, at worst, everyone will go back and push the tricycle on the side of the road together! The body protects the cabbage that I have worked so hard to pick! Ah! Who is afraid of whom!"
Cruise: "..."
stunned.
He really didn't know what his friend was thinking during the short silence just now, he just felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the conversation.
Lu Zhenglin almost forgot that he was still wearing makeup on his face. Just as he raised his sleeve to wipe it off, he put down the powder eyeshadow that touched the corner of his eye. After taking a deep breath for more than a minute, he said calmly, "You're going to die." I don't stop, I don't want to die yet, Luo Xiao is the best to be on the stage today, if he can't, that's his own problem, I don't think I have any faults and responsibilities that need to be borne for him, let's face it together and give up the stage together. "
Seeing that Lin Suyu finally raised his head to look at him, Lu Zhenglin said expressionlessly, "Whether you like it or not, let me put it here. I never thought about keeping Luo Xiao from going on stage, but this is the end of the matter, I have to prepare a second-hand Plan. Brother Zhu, call Gu Ning to come over and re-queue."
"You can try." Lin Suyu said indifferently with the same cold expression, "You have to do this with sincerity, and if you are on this stage, be careful that you won't have the chance to be on the stage next time."
Lu Zhenglin laughed back angrily: "Are you threatening me? You can't pay for marketing, and you don't have any background in the backstage. Those friends you made may not be willing to face me head-on because of something like you... "
"I don't expect others to help me, I only believe in myself." Lin Suyu said calmly, "Although I have nothing, at least I still have this life. Threatening you with this, Lu Zhenglin, I think it is enough, right? "
Lu Zhenglin was really going crazy: "Are you crazy? You threatened me with suicide just because of Luo Xiao? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"
"It's not obvious that he was kicked by a donkey, do we need to ask..." At this juncture, You Yi still couldn't hold back his complaints.
"Luo Xiao is just your brother. Is it necessary for you to do this for him? Lin Suyu, can you be more sober?" If it wasn't for You Yi who kept grabbing his shoulder, Lu Zhenglin almost wanted to rush up to Lin Suyu and crack his ears. , "Look at what you have done. If you can do this to yourself, I think you will be able to make your C debut! Luo Xiao doesn't care that you do so much for him, you don't care. What is Luo Xiao thinking! You still have the nerve to say that I am selfish, you are selfish to the core, in order to make yourself feel at ease, you keep giving him things that you think he will like, you are just a bitch I'm still too selfish, what qualifications do you have to show me this way to teach me!?"
At the end, he was almost roaring: "What do you think you know about me, but you only know me for less than a month, and you come to me and pretend to know me well, and judge me..."
You Yi panicked and supported Lu Zhenglin, who was almost speechless, and saw tears welling up in his friend's eyes.
"Obviously, Luo Xiao can't make it to the stage, I'm the one who's most sad—!" Lu Zhenglin endured so much that his voice almost changed, "I taught him every step of the way, from positioning to dancing moves and vocal skills. I taught it... Is it what I want to happen, I want to see him perform exactly what I taught on the stage..."
"After the accident, the first reaction is to minimize the impact of the stage accident, isn't it the first reaction? Who would think of causing a power outage at the venue when a teammate is sick... Now I look like a bad person, you Lin Suyu What is there to be wronged, I am the mother who is wronged, I am wronged and exploded, woo..."
"Okay, Ah Lin... Oh my god, your make-up is going to cry, why are you so emotional today?" You Yi hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.
Lu Zhenglin clenched his fists tightly, trying to hold back his tears, sobbing, "I was afraid that you would be worried, so I lied... Actually, I didn't bring sleeping pills, so I couldn't sleep at all. I was awake all night last night and passed it with my eyes closed. No... no, I'm going to collapse, I just want to stuff myself into a firework tube and launch it into the air to explode into a firework..."
You Yue almost lost his breath.
No wonder Lu Zhenglin looked so strange today, it turned out that he didn't sleep well and started talking nonsense...!
Lu Zhenglin didn't notice You Yi's eyes at all, he patted his face randomly with a handkerchief, and said to Zhu Xuanzhen: "How long will Brother Gu Ning be here?"
Only then did Zhu Xuanzhen look away from the phone screen, and bitterness appeared on his always gentle face: "...it's too late, Sister Chai knows we're here."
After a pause, he added, "Cen Xingguang probably told her when he went back."
Lu Zhenglin, who was thinking of getting rid of the matter before it got serious, was really dumbfounded at this moment.
He knew that since Lin Suyu could say that he wanted to drag them into the water, he would definitely be able to do it - he never doubted this, but the program crew didn't know!
If Chai Fei came, her first reaction would definitely be to tell Luo Xiao not to go on stage and go to see a doctor, so there was no need to think about it.
Everyone is a normal person, and the thinking mode of this brain circuit must be the same!
And if he is here, Lin Suyu is still willing to discuss the conditions with them. If the people from the program group come, then there is no need to talk about it. Lin Suyu, you should retire quickly to save yourself!
Zhu Xuanzhen added: "She said in the text message that she has come, and I guess it should be there in 3 minutes."
3 minutes!
Lu Zhenglin's eyes darkened.
You Yi didn't know what Chai Fei's arrival would mean, and he even breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe the program crew could persuade Lin Suyu.
Hearing the news, Lin Suyu's attitude could be called indifferent, and he even bent his lips and smiled: "It's pretty good."
——Very well, then everyone will die together.
Hearing the subtext of this sentence, Lu Zhenglin's mind buzzed for a moment, inexplicably thinking of a long time ago, on that sunny afternoon, when he received the company's notice that he was going to debut, he was full of hope and thought that this would be a good time to usher in the future. future him.
The shattering of hope that mercilessly tramples people to the bottom of the valley is especially fatal.
And now, it was the second time, when he was about to touch the distant star, someone suddenly took away the ladder under his feet.
"Lin Suyu, I will warn you for the last time." Lu Zhenglin rolled up his sleeves, and when he was smiling, his shallow and tender eyes were as cold as the cold water of a knife, "Even if I'm sorry to everyone, I'm not sorry to you and Luo Xiao... ...You are not qualified to let me make concessions to you!"
"Is this a fight?" Lin Suyu laughed, "The consequence of a fight is to retire directly, you probably don't know that?"
"It's okay to say that you have a hysterical attack and tie you up, and then persuade the program team to let you withdraw from the competition." Lu Zhenglin pulled down the curtain hanging in the bathroom, and it turned out that he really planned to tie up Lin Suyu. , so frightened that You Yi rushed over and held Lu Zhenglin's hand.
"A Lin, calm down..."
"I'm calm, I'm very calm! Brother Yi, get out of the way, this is my business, it has nothing to do with you—"
"enough--!"
The sky-shattering bang was accompanied by the roar of shattering, and the jingling shards pierced people's ears as crisply as jade beads falling to the ground.
Everyone was startled.
Panting for breath, Zhu Xuanzhen retracted his fist with red fingers.
Behind him, the mirror that shattered like a spider's web quickly collapsed, and the sharp pieces hit the sink and the ground, making harsh noises.
The eldest brother held his head wearily, and was about to say something when the silent room returned, but Luo Xiao's vague and strenuous cry sounded suddenly: "Let go of my mother..."
Lu Zhenglin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at Luo Xiao——
The black-haired boy raised his head with tears all over his face. In a trance, he didn't seem to know where he was, and repeated in a firm tone while crying: "Let go of my mother...!"
…………
After long-term beatings that came suddenly and disappeared without knowing when they appeared and disappeared, he would tremble subconsciously when he heard the sound of glass and metal objects falling to the ground without any mental preparation.
Even after several years, the sound of other people accidentally breaking the water glass will still catch him off guard and make his brain stop functioning, as if there will be severe pain coming from an unexpected direction in the next second.
But this time is different.
Hearing the sound of something falling and smashing to the ground in the room, Luo Xiao opened the door while trembling. Amidst the tears, he rushed towards the bloody ground, shouting hoarsely. He said the words that he dared not utter even in his dreams——
"Let go of my mother...!"
That day, he was covering Lin Suyu's ears in the room, but he himself heard the whole process, from how his mother wailed until he couldn't make a sound, he seemed to be frozen all over, and wanted to rush out to protect her, but he was so scared that no matter what He couldn't make a sound, and couldn't even move his legs.
Luo Zhi, who was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, was beaten so hard that her hearing was damaged and she was deaf in one ear.
Even though he knew that, given his young condition at the time, it was impossible to change anything even if he ran out, but he kept regretting it in his heart.
If, at that time, if he ran out, would it be different?
If he could be stronger, would he be able to protect his younger brother and mother?
But in fact, even in a dream, he could only hold Lin Suyu in his arms at a loss, listening to the movement outside, looking at the door that seemed to never be opened, and regretting.
Until I vaguely heard the shout of my friend——
"Xiaoxiao, don't give up, there is still hope..."
After a few years, he finally stepped out of the door that had been closed tightly for many years, and yelled out the words buried deep in his heart.
Although, the reality is not as earth-shattering as he thought.
He just collapsed in the messy bathroom. A group of people looked at him with dull faces and burst into tears. His voice was as thin as that of a newborn kitten stretching out its paws with amniotic fluid, and issued its first speech to this brand new world. cry.
Zhu Xuanzhen took a breath, and the tired smile on his face turned into the usual gentleness like water. He opened the door, and said softly to Chai Fei, who was still knocking on the door desperately, and said softly, "We have nothing to do, I'm sorry, it will be soon." to be on stage.”
Seemingly not noticing Chai Fei's expression of being startled by the shards of glass and the pulled down curtain, Zhu Xuanzhen said gently, "Soon, don't worry."
Behind him, Lin Suyu sat on the ground as if he lost his strength.
Luo Xiao stroked his hair lightly, her voice seemed to come from a far away place: "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
