Jin Yi Ji

She stared at herself with an unbelievable expression, as if something had been cut from her mouth. "...Asami?" Yukiko suddenly felt a chill behind her back, especially when the other party's eyes fixed on the scissors on the table, "Senior?"

But Chaomei didn't say anything, stood up, and walked towards Bai Wugou who was not finished on the table in a daze.Fear arose spontaneously, and Yukiko couldn't help standing up, blocking the scissors behind her with her body.The pure white dress was spread out in front of the table, and the soft candlelight swayed and projected on the fabric, like the waves of a lake wrinkled by the spring breeze.The fine and dense dark patterns are embroidered with auspicious patterns, and every stitch and thread contains devout blessings.Yukiko looked at Asami's fingertips stroking along the embroidery lines, as if admiring the exquisite stitches, but she bit her pale lower lip, her fingers trembling slightly.Her eyes were sometimes empty like a pool of stagnant water, sometimes tumbling with unknown emotions that frightened Yukiko, and finally stayed fixedly on the unfinished embroidery at the neckline.Just when Yukiko looked at Asami's face at a loss, she suddenly gathered her fingers, grabbed the originally flat neckline tightly, and pulled it forcefully!

"Senior! Senior! Stop it! Don't do this!" Yukiko pounced on her, trying to snatch Bai Wugou from Yukiko's hand, but Chaomi's hands were so tightly packed, Yukiko saw that her white hands were full of veins and deep nails. Embedded deep into the clothes.Yukiko really didn't have the strength to take off her clothes, so she grabbed Asami's hand and tried to break her fingers. Under the struggle, Asami's leg hit the table hard, she whimpered and fell to the ground. He was still clutching his clothes tightly.

"Senior! What's the matter with you? Are you okay?" Yukiko looked at Asami, who was barely supporting the table legs. The latter's bun was tilted to one side, and the hair scattered around her ears covered her face, and her expression could not be seen clearly. "Senior..." Yukiko stepped forward and reached out to help her, but Chaomei opened her hand forcefully, threw the clothes in her hand to her, and shouted: "Get out!!!"

"...Yes, senior." Yukiko looked at Asami, and then at the clothes she finally got back. The unfinished embroidery at the neckline was torn loose, and the threads were broken in several places. Although the neckline was wrinkled Bare, but luckily not torn.Yukiko looked at the shattered neckline in her hands, and tears welled up in her eyes for some reason.She covered her mouth, picked up Bai Wugou and rushed out of the studio.

Why is she crying?Why am I crying too?

However, the tears could not be stopped, and Yukiko cried all night holding the damaged Bai Wugou.

Part II

Waking up early the next morning, Yukiko found that her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't open her eyes. She looked in the mirror and found that her eyes were red and swollen like peaches.Seeing her unbearable appearance, Yukiko couldn't help sighing, but then remembered that Asami didn't know what to do, and hurried out of the door regardless of her eyes.

Pushing open the door, she saw Chaomei standing in front of the full-length mirror at the door and arranging her skirt as usual, she looked the same as usual, as if nothing happened last night.But she wore heavier makeup than usual, and her eyes were swollen.Yukiko still couldn't help thinking about it.

Asami turned her head and saw Yukiko standing in front of the door blankly, smiling with her eyes swollen.Yukiko lowered her head in embarrassment, but she was very nervous, not knowing what to say.But Chaomei walked in front of her and held her hand, making her unable to look up, and when she looked up, she saw her weary smile.Her hands were soft and smooth, nothing like mine.Yukiko couldn't help thinking.But it's so cold.it's too cold.

"I'm going out." Asami said with a smile.Her eyes were also red and swollen.But Yukiko couldn't help but want to smile at her too.

"Yukiko, can I ask you to make new clothes for me?" Asami said, looking into Yukiko's eyes.

"What do you want?" Yukiko asked timidly.

"I want a golden belt, the wide one, and a deep purple kimono, and an emerald green kimono." Asami smiled and said word by word in a sweet and gentle voice, "You understand Yet?"

"..." Yukiko also looked at Asami with a smile, with inexplicable confusion in her eyes.What’s wrong with you?

But Asami asked again: "Do you understand?" in a softer, sweeter voice.

"Yes, senior." Yukiko heard herself reply.

Asami smiled in relief.But she laughed so tired, so empty.So she stood up, picked up the bundle, and walked towards the door confidently and proudly.As the door closed, she said quietly, "Thank you."

That was something Yukiko never imagined Asami would say to herself.

So even though You Xizi was so confused, she still rushed to make these three clothes for her according to Chaomi's request, and even put down Bai Wugou, who she valued very much, in order to make Chaomi satisfied.The broken Bai Wugou was thrown aside, and Yuxiko briskly manipulated the spinning wheel, humming a song while embroidering delicate dark patterns on both sides of the golden belt.She felt happier than ever, and she was willing to do anything for Chaomei's "thank you".

Finally, a week later, Asami took the clothes from Yukiko in surprise. "It's so beautiful! I can't imagine it at all!" Asami was overjoyed, holding a golden belt and gesticulating in the air, and carefully admiring the soft golden lines on the purple kimono, "Thank you!" Yukiko felt so Happy, and unbelievably shy, as for the previous doubts, they have long been thrown out of the sky. "Wait until I wear it for you to see." Asami smiled excitedly at Yukiko, picked up her clothes and walked quickly into the bedroom.

After a while, Asami walked out of the bedroom, and she happily twirled in the air in her new clothes. "Am I beautiful?!" Asami smiled excitedly and shouted at Yukiko.

Yukiko smiled.She looked at Asami who was wearing an incongruous dark purple and emerald green kimono and an overly exaggerated ornate sash and smiled, as if a thousand heavy thoughts in her heart had come true.She felt sorry for some reason, but she didn't know what else she could do, what Asami wanted to do.

The next day, Yukiko watched Asami go out with a smile. She was wearing an awkward new dress made by herself, but she looked so happy and young, Yukiko couldn't say anything, she could only smile and shake her head.Asami's makeup is so heavy and her clothes are so kitsch, but she doesn't care, or on the contrary, she is complacent.

After sending Asami away, Yukiko was still smiling, but for some reason there was a corner of her heart that couldn't be relieved, something was throbbing, and she couldn't help frowning.It's not like this, she is very happy, she is very satisfied with everything, isn't that enough? Yukiko walked into the workshop, picked up Bai Wugou, which had been discarded for a long time, and seeing the stiff and torn neckline made her feel The frown deepened.What is this unease?

But that is unimportant.This is true for Asami, and it is naturally true for me.Just keep working, working, working, that's my life.

In the evening, when Yuxizi finished Bai Wugou's belt and was about to make a final repair, she suddenly found something: the scissors were missing.

Scissors?

Yukiko's heart tightened up almost as soon as she thought of this.She rummaged around, her heart pounding in her chest.The scissors were gone, why did she only find out now?I couldn't help but tremble with my fingers, but I searched everywhere, I searched every corner with trembling fingers, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

I can't find it anywhere.

Yukiko sat slumped at the desk, staring blankly at Bai Wugou who covered the work desk, all thoughts were lost for a moment.

The scissors are gone.Asami took it away.

Where did Asami go?

From the moment she found out that the scissors were missing, Yukiko was filled with empty fear, unable to do anything.The night had already closed, but Chaomei still hadn't come back.Where did Asami go?

There was a dull pain in the head, and Yukiko buried her head deeply in her knees, unable to endure this long night.

Yukiko was woken up by a crackling sound at the door.Yukiko realized that she was covered in cold sweat from behind, and her clothes were sticky to her body.The sound was broken and noisy at first, as if someone wanted to open the door hastily, followed by gasping for breath, and suddenly there was the sound of something falling to the ground with a loud bang in the dark shop. echo. "Asami," Yukiko struggled to stand up from the cold body, walked to the door and looked at the door, "Is that you? Asami?"

But as soon as he probed to the door, a strong fishy smell came over his face.is blood.Yukiko's nerves froze all of a sudden.Then she heard Asami calling her name in a high-pitched voice: "Yukiko." When did her voice become so hoarse?

Yukiko struggled to move her feet in the dark, but suddenly her toes hit a hard object, and she fumbled on the ground with her hands, which were wet——scissors.

It turns out here.

Yukiko's heart was cold and painful, and she tightened up all of a sudden.Reaching out her hand again, she supported Chaomei who was trembling all over.

"Yukiko, Yukiko." Asami still called her name hoarsely, her voice echoing mournfully in the darkness.

"Shh, I'm here." Yukiko grabbed her hand, only to find that her hand was too slippery to hold. "Stand up. Let's sit over and go to the table." As he spoke, he dragged her up vigorously, but Chaomei crawled as if kneeling on the ground.

After finally walking into the studio, Yukiko saw Asami's face clearly.Her make-up was completely smeared, and her face was messed up with tears and blood, which was even more terrifying
