Licheng Twilight

Chapter 16

When Mu Mu arrived at Wu Shuangshuang's ward, the visitors had almost left, and Mu Mu vaguely heard Teacher Xia complaining, "There are just two good seedlings, one hurts his hand and the other hurts his foot, isn't that right? Do you want my life, it's annoying."

Mu Mu pushed open the door and saw Wu Shuangshuang sitting on the bed, looking out of the window with blank eyes. breath.

This doesn't look like her?Mu Mu was puzzled, but saw Wu Shuangshuang turned her head and looked at herself.

"What are you doing here?" She said coldly, "Will you come to see my joke?"

Mu Mu didn't speak, she closed the door softly, walked to the stool next to her bed and sat down, picked up an apple on the table and began to peel it.

"Go away, I don't want to see you!" Seeing that Mu Mu ignored her indifference, Wu Shuangshuang almost shouted, pointing at the door.

"Here." Mu Mu completely ignored her words, still speaking in a very gentle tone.

Wu Shuangshuang suddenly laughed, and said coolly, "Put away your fake kindness, I don't need it." She leaned on the pillow and looked out the window, "Sometimes I really can't figure it out. I worked so hard and persisted so hard. But, why everyone is leaning towards you, Ye Tianche is, Teacher Xia is, now, even fate is leaning towards you. What is so good about you? Tell me what is better than me. "

Mu Mu looked at her, and suddenly couldn't understand her. Is this the Wu Shuangshuang she knew, the proud and noble, persistent, talented but still working hard to the point of madness?
"I'm not as good as you." She said it calmly and with certainty.

"What did you say?" Wu Shuangshuang looked at her in surprise and asked uncertainly.

Mu Mu put the peeled apple into her hand and walked out.She didn't leave right away, leaning against the wall outside the ward, feeling a little confused.

"Excuse me, are you here to see Shuangshuang?" A gentle female voice came, Mu Mu opened her eyes and recognized Wu Shuangshuang's mother.

"Hello, Auntie," Mu Mu forced a smile, "I came to see her, and I just came out."

Wu Shuangshuang's mother looked at her expression, she understood, and said in an apologetic tone, "Shuangshuang has a bad temper, please don't take it to heart if you say something that makes people angry."

Mu Mu repeatedly waved her hand and said no, she hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "If possible, I want to ask Auntie something."

"Please say."

"Shuang Shuang, did something happen?" Mu Mu cautiously tried to keep her tone as light as possible.

Wu Shuangshuang's mother's expression changed in an instant. She looked at Mu Mu with a little surprise, as if asking how she knew.

Mu Mu explained, "I just feel that, with her ability, she is too persistent in this musical, as if she is seizing the last chance."

"That's right, it's the last chance." Wu Shuangshuang's mother sighed, "Shuangshuang has a stomach problem and has been unable to eat for a long time, but this silly child still practices desperately every day." Speaking of this, she quietly reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling distressed and proud at the same time, "She will go to the United States for an operation next month. If it succeeds, it will be the best. If it fails, don't talk about dancing. I'm afraid even my life is in danger."

Mu Mu was completely shocked and couldn't even speak for a while.

"Ah Chen, do I really hate it?" Mu Mu propped her chin and looked at the drizzle outside the window, suddenly asked without thinking.

Lin Xichen gnawed on the bread, "It's quite annoying, just study well, even dance so well, don't you think you are annoying?" He leaned closer to her, carefully looked at Mu Mu's face, "The most important thing What's more, with a super handsome guy like me walking around you every day, how many girls do you think you're jealous of to death! Well, apart from your apologetic face, Mu, you are still pretty good."

Ye Tianche stood up and slapped Lin Xichen's head away, "Fuck! Who made you get so close to my girl." After speaking, he added another kick.

Lin Xichen was naturally not convinced, and stuck to Ye Tianche's body like an octopus, as if it would be a gentleman not to take revenge.

"Damn, how dare you pull my ears!"

"Don't mess with my clothes, I just bought them yesterday!"

After a mess of voices, Mu Mu raised her head from the pile of books to check the situation of the battle. Uh, after the investigation was completed, it turned out that there were no casualties, only two pieces of clothing were damaged, and the body was completely torn.

In the afternoon, after school, Mu Mu stood in Xia Zhilin's office.

"Mu Mu, I came here to tell you, the heroine of the musical, I have decided that you will dance."

Mu Mu was very calm, keeping her head down and not speaking.

Xia Zhilin continued, "Although your dance is not as good as Wu Shuangshuang's, I think you danced the way I wanted. Now Wu Shuangshuang has an accident. Although your hand is injured, but——"

"Mr. Xia," Mu Mu suddenly raised his head, "Please listen to me."

In everyone's anticipation, the school anniversary finally came.

Licheng No. [-] Middle School was decorated with lights and festoons, and it was as lively as the New Year. Everyone had smiles on their faces. The auditorium was full of spectators. Mu Mu changed into a dancing white dress and sat in front of the mirror nervously, taking a deep breath.

"I didn't expect you, Mu, to be a beauty when you dress up." Lin Xichen's ruffian voice came.

Mu Mu turned her head and saw Lin Xichen walking towards her with a heck of a voice. Behind him, that young man was wearing a white suit and smiling lightly against the light. He is today's pianist.

The musical is divided into five acts. In the first evening, the heroine appears with a veil, which adds a bit of mystery to the whole scene.The male and female protagonists meet on a rainy evening, on both sides of the road, vehicles pass between the two, the boy walks over and gently puts his umbrella in the girl's hand, the slightly cheerful and youthful music brings everyone together. The mood when I fell in love for the first time.

In the second scene, a boy rides a bicycle to take a girl home. The two stand downstairs at the girl's house. The boy stretches out his hand to see what the girl looks like, but the girl takes a step back and shakes her head firmly.

In the third act, there was a sharp car horn, followed by a shrill scream.The girl was involved in a car accident and lost her legs.The boy squatted beside the wheelchair, looked at her seriously, and then gently lifted the girl's veil. On the left half of the girl's face, there was an obvious scar.

How could it be Wu Shuangshuang? !Lin Xichen stood up from the chair in surprise, isn't it Ah Mu?What's the matter?

The people in the back row began to complain that Lin Xichen was blocking their view. Lin Xichen came to his senses and sat down with a puzzled face. He heard a girl crying softly behind him, but he couldn't watch it any longer, and just wanted to go to the backstage to ask Ask Mu Mu what's going on.

Through the gap in the curtain, Mu Mu looked at Wu Shuangshuang who was completely absorbed in the stage. She was indeed a born actress.She smiled, looked at the dance skirt she hadn't had time to change, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the corner of the stage, the boy playing the piano skillfully jumped on the black and white keys with both hands, but his eyes looked at the girl behind the curtain with only a small head exposed. The corners of her mouth were slightly curved. She really belonged to him. He danced the first two scenes by himself. If you need to use your feet, let Wu Shuangshuang jump in the back. In order to prevent the audience from seeing that the person has changed, so the plot was slightly modified and the veil was covered.

"What?! Why is this?" Lin Xichen said loudly, "Then it's like you didn't play?"

Mu Mu sipped the soup in small sips, but smiled slightly.

Ye Tianche picked up the chopsticks and slammed Lin Xichen on the head, "Science's brain is superficial, forget it, and you don't understand if I explain it to you."

The three of them were full, and decided to go shopping and walk home. Mu Mu looked at the oversized teddy bears in the store cabinets, and couldn't help reaching out and touching them lightly through the glass. The teddy bears were chubby. The body was lying on the rocking chair, looking very simple and cute, Mu Mu laughed.

The next afternoon, as soon as Mu Mu came home, she saw two oversized teddy bears lying on the sofa, which were the two she saw yesterday. The middle jumped out like a spring.

"For you." He tugged at one of the ears, "I didn't expect this thing to be so heavy. I almost killed half of my life when I carried them back."

Mu Mu was both moved and funny, "Ye Tianche, it's summer now."

"What's wrong?" He didn't understand.

"If I put them both in bed, I'm sure I'll get sunstroke."

Ye Tianche suddenly realized, "Can I only give this in winter?" He scratched the back of his head, a little annoyed, "I'll give it to you anyway, I don't care about it." After finishing speaking, he let go.

That night, although she was sweating all over, Mu Mu still hugged the two teddy bears tightly and fell asleep.

Ye Tianche looked at the corners of her mouth that were still curled up in her sleep, my silly Mumu, you are so smart, you can guess what Wu Shuangshuang is thinking, you can persuade her to perform a musical, and you can put your own You don't hesitate to give up the opportunity, and you are willing to stand behind the scenes. You can do this for others, but can you understand my distress and understand my mood?
Understand me, I want to make up for all the things you lost, one by one, to you.

It was two weeks after Mu Mu received a call from Wu Shuangshuang.

She said, come to the airport to see me off.

Then Mu Mu went.

Her leg seemed to be injured a little bit. Although she could barely stand up with her own strength, she had to rest for a period of time in order to fully recover.She looked up at Mu Mu, smiling brightly, "You don't know how much I hate you, I'm serious."

Mu Mu knelt down and looked at her seriously.

"But because I hate you, I hate myself even more." She opened her hands and gave her a hug gently, with a completely relieved tone, "Now I don't want to hate myself, so if there is a chance to see you again, let's meet again." Let’s get to know each other again.”

Mu Mu smiled and nodded slightly.

The moment the plane rushed into the blue sky, Mu Mu suddenly felt a little empty in her heart. She watched the line of white marks left by the plane after gliding slowly dissipate, and finally merged with the white clouds.

The airport is really an unpleasant place.

She turned around, brushed the hair hanging from her ears, and walked away gracefully.

PS: I am about to be driven crazy by the exam, and there is no internet at home, so it may take a while, sorry everyone, sorry, I promise I will go through fire and water if I have the chance.
