"Uh..." I stood up on stage, acoustic guitar cradled in my hands, and "fed" into the microphone in front of me a few times before I began to say, a little more formally, "My God of Fortune, Steven, has fallen out of love again... for the um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um... how many times? I think it was the fifth... Five?"
"Yeah, the eighth time," I smiled shyly, "Sorry, I've just had a lot to drink and I might be a bit incoherent right now..." I cleared my throat and continued, "I'm going to send a song to Steven now, to try and show him that he's not alone... 'Nobody Loves Club', please." As soon as the words were out of my mouth, a crowd of people on stage began to ghost yell.
Someone from the stage shouted, "The eighth time!!!"
Leslie suddenly turned her head and asked, "This is a pub?"
The host guy on TV suddenly yelled, "Steven! Happy New Year!" Immediately after that, Steven appeared in fr
With all these thoughts in my head, I was lying on the sofa, but I was as restless as if I were lying in the Dead Sea. It was nearly twelve o'clock when I felt like I was suffocating to the point of dying. Without telling Zephyrine in advance, I grabbed my keys, put on my jacket, and almost unconsciously made my way near her radio company. By this time, Zephyrine's show had just started, so I slipped over to the nearby McDonald's and ordered an orange juice before sitting silently and alone by the window, staring. It was only when I looked at the blank face reflected in the window that I came back to myself a little. What was the point of rushing over here so impulsively? If I see Zephyrine later, what should I say? Hiding my head in the sand like an ostrich to escape reality - that's the only thing I know how to do now. And that's how Leslie and I said goodbye tonight." There are probably few people in the world who are as honest as Leslie. I leaned my head helplessly against the
"It's up to you what you love, why should you care what others think?" Leslie said lightly as she looked at me. I was busy casually saying something to relieve her, "You owe me an orange in this life, you'll have to pay it back in the next life, remember." "Your girlfriend," she continued, "why didn't you see her come to you?" Leslie didn't notice my complicated mental activities as she continued to ask, "If you don't care, then why are you still..." I said to Leslie, a little guiltily, "I really did overdo it, didn't I?" If I hadn't scared Maleah, Leslie wouldn't have had to do some of the odd jobs that Maleah was supposed to do, like sweeping the floor. But Leslie didn't seem to care, she just smiled and turned her head to look at me, and then proceeded to bend down and sweep away the dust on the floor that only Leslie herself could notice. After completing all the odd jobs, Leslie sat down at the counter to check the orders as usual, while I stayed quietly at the side and didn
"It's a shame about the unfinished piece," Leslie said softly, "aren't you going to finish it?" With that, she lowered her head again and tapped the keys, "Even though it's a guitar score, if it was you, you'd have no problem finishing it on the piano, right?" After saying that, she raised her head again and looked at me with a slight smile. "What's wrong?" Presumably noticing that I looked a little off, Leslie asked softly. "Come along," Leslie said to herself, "I'm planning on going to dance class tonight... Just keep me company." After I made such a fuss, Leslie was much more energetic, and she seemed to be in a good mood all day, with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth. I was happy to see her in such a good mood, and I felt that when Leslie smiled, all the flowers in the shop smiled. In the evening, Leslie left the flower shop and went home as usual, but for some reason, she changed her clothes after dinner and looked like she was going out. I remembered that Leslie onl
Leslie frowned and tried very hard to puff up her palms, but it was still very hard. It is reasonable to say that dance practitioners are very good at mimicking, and their limbs shouldn't be so stiff. Seeing that she had been tinkering for half a day without making any progress, I had no choice but to habitually reach out my hand to cover the back of Leslie's hand, wanting to correct her movements. I saw Leslie frown as she suddenly asked softly, "What's going on?" After saying that, she turned sideways and took my hand again. I didn't say anything, and moved like a fool. "How long has it been since I've touched an entity"-that was the only thing that came to my mind. Well, that and thinking "Leslie's hands are soft". The very moment our hands touched each other, Leslie and I both froze. Leslie lowered herself to pick up the score, and as she stood up straight she looked at me again and asked softly, "Can you touch anything else but me?" The tone of her voice was subdued, as if she
Leslie opened her mouth and was about to say something when I suddenly heard someone shouting from a short distance away, "Leslie?" Leslie and I turned our heads in the direction of the voice at the same time, remembering that we didn't close the door of the dance classroom when we came in, only to see that Colten was standing in the doorway at some point, and he was looking at this side with a surprised expression on his face. Without waiting for Leslie to reply, Colten had already walked himself through the door, but he seemed a little nervous, slowly approaching but stopping a short distance away as he asked again, "What brings you here when we don't have class today?" "Colten," Leslie replied softly as she turned around just then, "I... missed something here, and I just happened to be passing by the school today, so I came up to get it." In fact, this reason was so grudging that it would make people crack at the slightest point, who would stand next to the piano for half a day m
It turned out that not only was the door small, the space inside was also small, monotonous four white walls, a small brown sofa against the wall, and a wooden cabinet in the corner, there was nothing else in the locker room except for these.Colten walked towards the wooden cabinet, and took out a letter from his pocket while... A letter? He opens the cabinet, puts the letter inside, and then closes it again. Not leaving immediately, Colten leaned his head against that cabinet and sighed deeply. What the hell was going on here? Without waiting for me to get back to my senses, I suddenly heard Colten, who had rested his head on the door of the cupboard, mutter to himself, and although his voice was very small, I could hear it clearly, "Accept me... Accept me." Before I could think carefully about what he meant by that, Colten unexpectedly slammed his fist on the cabinet door again. Immediately after that, he held his head in his hands and roared, then quickly opened the cabinet, took
Hurrying to catch up, I followed behind her and explained haphazardly, "Zephyrine, you... You misunderstood." Because she was walking too fast, Zephyrine's long curly hair bounced mischievously on her shoulders. The familiar scent of shampoo greeted me, and I couldn't help but start to sway. A sudden shock: I was actually swaying because of the shampoo scent in Zephyrine's hair! What is this with that. Zephyrine, however, sneered, "What are you telling me that for?" I couldn't respond for a moment. "Ah!" Before I could finish explaining, Zephyrine suddenly let out a shriek, her body then swayed twice, and she looked like she was about to fall down. Didn't you angrily leave the restaurant at noon today because you misunderstood my relationship with Caleb? Wasn't it because of this matter that you were angry with me for the whole day, not even answering the phone or wanting to care about me? And now you're asking me why I'm telling you this? I looked at Zephyrine incredulously, fee
"What?" I seemed to have my tail stepped on, and without even thinking, I eagerly defended myself, "I, I didn't, I didn't stutter... I, I really..." I actually did stutter. I tried several times, but the words just stumbled out of my mouth. The more anxious I got, the more Zephyrine laughed. She didn't say anything, but reached out and took my right hand, which was hidden in my trouser pocket, out and held it. I was baffled by her actions, and since I couldn't say anything, I could only shut my mouth and watch quietly what she wanted to do. By the time I reacted, I was already ashamed of myself for throwing myself into the ring, "Last night, last night... No, the night before that I... I don't know... That... You..." As I said that, the scene of kissing Zephyrine the night before suddenly appeared in my mind, her lips, her eyes, those discordant images made my face roll hotter and hotter, it's no different from the feeling I had when I was in the third grade when I cheated on a test
The night was dim; I pulled down the curtains, shutting out the streetlights and faint moonlight outside, leaving only a bedside lamp glowing in the bedroom. I returned to the bedside, sat down, and looked down at Quentin, who was peacefully asleep. I sighed and then chuckled. "I wonder if it hurts." I touched Quentin's neck. This dramatic person actually used broken glass shards to stab into his neck. The tattered book from earlier, like a door of memories, sealed memories deep in my heart, suddenly lifted that barrier and surged unbridledly. "I..." Quentin grasped my hand in his sleep, tightly, as if afraid that I would run away. "I can't run. Wherever I am, you can find me." I smiled gently, lifted the blanket, lay down on the bed, and then placed my head on Quentin's shoulder. Smelling the fragrance of the person beside me, I slowly entered dreamland. The next day, when Quentin opened his eyes, he saw me lying beside him, looking at him.Quentin blinked slightly, and after
I smiled, "And then what?" She sighed, "And then I figured out that what's amiable is just because I'm an outsider, plus my uncle's friendship with dad, but you're different." I hmmmed, "I know." She finally laughed out loud and reached up to poke me in the head, "Just say 'I know'." When she finished she sighed, "You're really not leaving this time, are you?" She sniffled, "You did the same thing last time, acted like nothing happened in front of me and then left without saying a word." I shook my head, "Not leaving, really." She stared at my glasses for a long time, as if trying to see through me. After a long time, she sighs slightly and says to me, "Zephyrine, do you love me?" I looked at her glasses in the same way, at the tears hanging under her lashes, and the seriousness of the moment unlike any other. Without hesitation, I reached up and hooked my hand around her pinky and said, "Love." I really like her. The first time I saw her, I was about 10 years old
The lift was on the upper floors, and not wanting to wait, I took the side stairs. What was there to say to her, what else was there to say. I lowered my head and didn't say anything. His intention was for me to talk to Shelby, but I couldn't open my mouth when I saw Shelby. My father drove me to the airport, and at the last minute, I pulled out my phone and sent her a text message, "Let's break up." So after leaving from the house that day, I was resenting her in my heart, but on the one hand, I still liked her a lot, making me conflicted. On the way back, my mind was still a little foggy as far as what I had just said and done, and what my father had said and done was even more of a mess. She sniffled, "You can't lie to me in the future." It was slow going, the sound of my slippers touching the floor after the living room, chugging, and it didn't take long for my eyes to adjust to the light as I eased over and took a seat beside her. I patted her head and told her, "I'm no
First he looked at me, then he smothered his head in the covers, and after a few seconds of silence, because he wasn't breathing well, he reached out and poked holes in his face and the quilt pieces again, propping himself up with his arms. I smiled and asked in a low voice, "What time did you go to bed yesterday?" She mumbled a few times, "I don't know." No longer bothering her, patted her bottom hidden in the quilt, whispered to her that I went to work, and left the study. The summer days were a bit hot and lazy, and the day was over, but looking back I kind of don't remember exactly what I did, even though all the work was done. Went home as usual and Shelby wasn't there when I got there. Got a Snapchat from her a few minutes ago and she told me that her work was completely finished and figured she was on her way home now. I was a bit lazy tonight and didn't feel like cooking, so after playing on my phone in the living room for a while, I heard a noise coming from the doorway
She hmmmed, then moved a little closer to me and grabbed the collar and pulled it down, "Nah, take the edge off." I laughed, "Tell me more, we're not discussing this right now." She frowns, "Knowingly." When she stopped, I asked, "Is she swearing at me?" I let out a low chuckle and moved up, not biting, but kissing gently and looking up at her, "There." I nodded. She didn't look at me, and I didn't comment on her remark, heading towards the kitchen. She shook her head at me, "No, I won't go without Master Gu's permission." I reached out to touch her face, "Good boy." I gave a long drawn out, quizzical oh and looked at her and asked, "What if your mum, forces you to go?" She oh'ed and got off of me and sat to the side, continuing to pick up her phone. She looked up at me slightly, "Going somewhere?" Alanna laughs and adds, "I just told her we were on the phone, ugh, do you think she'll be listening on the door right now?" Alanna wails, "Yeah, scolding her for being nice."
"I heard that Shelby was competing a few months ago?" My father's words broke my thoughts and I looked up at him, he was smiling at Shelby, "How did it go?" I turned my head to look at him. I reached out and poked her collarbone, "What do you think I'm afraid of?" The living room of the house separates me from my dad's room, and if there are no other guests, this bathroom is for my sole use, so to speak. She stepped forward and said softly, "Didn't you hear my mother say, I was called there by her." I jerked my foot back and silently pulled my chair back and stood up, heading towards the bathroom. Shelby smiled and replied, "Took first place." She gave me a look that was more like it. Shelby's mother laughed, put her chopsticks down, and said in a serious and slightly flirtatious manner, "It's rare that you're interested in matchmaking today, I really do have quite a lot of photos and profiles of various single youths on hand." She poked Shelby in the barrel, "Go get the mobi
Good to know. I turned my head and looked at her a little, "Hard to hear." The owner smiled, "Miss Zephyrine had a great idea, we just followed it." Old auntie smiled at me, big red lipstick while her teeth white bright, eyes winking said: "Dear, do not think I am very cute?" After that she asked, "Can I really not go tomorrow?" I assumed it was another guest, but to my surprise, half a minute later, it was Shelby, and her mother, who walked into the house. I'm afraid I can't say any more words of blessing, Shelby is better at this kind of thing. After waiting in the shop a little longer for the owner to finish touching up my handwriting, we left. Alanna had taken the guy after all, and she had borrowed this car from him for the night, and had just had a long discussion in the car park about who was going to be the driver, before finally letting me be in the driver's seat. The next day was Sunday, and when I took a taxi to the house, it was just about dinner time, so I went
She said with a faint oh and a look of death, "Sofia said you're a quiet person, very much to her liking, and you're reliable in your studies or in your work, and you also have a tacit understanding with you and have a lot to talk about." She shrugged her shoulders and didn't move on, just fed me a bite and she took a bite of her own. I was puzzled, "How come I didn't know that." I interrupted her, "Sofia is treated as an old friend in my case, in my opinion it's normal for friends who haven't seen each other for years to have dinner." I smiled, "Of course, it's also a fact that she's my ex-girlfriend, so I told you as soon as I got back, and if you think this needs to be a pissed off tantrum, then the prerequisite for that should be that Sofia and I are still coupled up, and that I'm still having a fling with her, but the fact that it's not is not the case, so this is not something that needs to be a tantrum." "But I'm still hung up on the fact that you two were alone, so what d
Just a few metres away, I was torn between saying hello and not saying hello, but finally chose the latter and walked straight towards the side away from her without moving. She was standing over at one of the department's presentation boards, looking up intently without being disturbed by people coming and going. I looked at her from a distance, I hadn't seen her for a few years, but she seemed to be the same as before, her hair hadn't grown, and her clothes were still in the same style. Shelby is a person who lives a very casual life, a lot of places to make do, not too concerned about the details, a lot of trivial things she listens to me, but also rest assured to let me, no matter what kind, she has no objections. The waiter served the first course, which suddenly reminded me of the person still sleeping at home, and I couldn't worry about her, so I picked up my phone and ordered takeaway for her. We walked together in the direction of the lift, but on the way, met a person.
