Chapter 113: Once a Lie (I)
Zhang Zhou, who was almost hit by the nose, banged vigorously on the bathroom door, and it was only at this time that he felt that something was wrong. His heart tightened www.biquge.info his heart tightened, but he forgot about his physical discomfort for a while, and while banging on the bathroom door vigorously, he asked Li Ai what happened, while trying to recall what happened when he opened the door just now. But with just one or two eyes at each other, how could he see the fragility and uneasiness in Li Ai's eyes?
"Hey! Feed? Li Ai? What happened to you? Answer me? What the hell is going on? Zhang Zhou's cry outside the door was still very loud through the glass door, but Li Ai turned a deaf ear to it. Li Ai, who locked the door, staggered back to the washstand, stared at the embarrassed face reflected in the mirror in front of her, and whispered some vague content in a broken voice in the uncontrollable tears, as if asking who and as if asking herself.
"I ...... What to do? Her eyes fluctuated with fragility, and in these fragile tears, her own appearance was reflected, and in the eyes on that embarrassed face, the original Leng Ran and Mu Ran had been shattered into pieces one after another, scattered, leaving only the original fog. In that fog, she saw again what she had wanted to hide not long ago.
And this time, she no longer had the strength to hide it. When the fog of desire that had just covered the bottom of my heart was suddenly torn open by blood when I was defenseless; When her naked desires were revealed to the people who had just become clear to her who were important to her, in that moment when everything seemed to be seen through, she felt the merciless play of fate. As a result, all the disguises she had just put on crumbled in an instant, leaving only a piece of fragility.
It was under such fragile coercion that her tears burst out of her eyes, making her subconsciously reach out and slam the door that had just been opened, and hurriedly dropped the lock, and then left the blurred glass door that isolated Zhang Zhou in a little panic, and stood in front of the mirror.
"What the hell am I ...... How...... Do? Her voice trembled, tears streaming down her cheeks, reflecting her helplessness, her vulnerability. She propped herself up on the edge of the sink and asked herself over and over again. Zhang Zhou, who was anxious outside the door, kept asking loudly about her status, and Li Ai inside the door kept asking what to do with herself in the mirror. Zhang Zhou's voice became louder and louder, but Li Ai's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally, Li Ai's voice disappeared completely, she completely buried her head, and her hands on the washstand slowly slid down, hanging down to her waist, and then clenched into fists.
In the entire bathroom, only the sound of Zhang Zhou's loud banging on the door and his gradually lowering voice of inquiry remained. And until this time, these voices seemed to have just reached Li Ai's ears. Every slap sound that came into Li Ai's ears would make her shoulders shake subconsciously, and her clenched fists were slightly loosened, and then they clenched again. After going back and forth several times, she gently bit her lower lip and slowly raised her head.
Her face and the expression on her face were reflected in the mirror, and a little firmness slowly flashed in those originally misty eyes, and that firmness became rich little by little......
Zhang Zhou, who was outside the door, slowly stopped calling, looked cold, and grabbed his arm instead. Nothing will happen, right? He asked in his heart with some worry, and then slowly pulled out the long knife from his arm, and was about to insert the tip of the knife into the crack of the door, and when he forcibly pried the door open, he saw Li Ai's shadow reflected on the glass move, and then enlarged little by little. The next moment, the door lock that he originally wanted to violently break made a clicking sound, and then the closed door slowly opened, revealing the figure of Li Ai, who was hanging his head low, as if he wanted to hide something, clenching his fists hard.
"......" saw the bathroom door open, Zhang Zhou put away the night with some sting, and wanted to ask something, but when he saw that Li Ai was in a state that was a little wrong, he hesitated for a while, and then carefully asked, "Li Ai?" Didn't ......."
However, as soon as he spoke, Li Ai's body trembled, and then interrupted him with some eagerness, "I'm fine......" Her voice trembled a little, making her words seem so unconvincing. Zhang Zhou easily saw through the fact that she was lying, but her attitude showed that she didn't want him to pursue it. Zhang Zhou, who didn't know what choice to make, was in a dilemma for a while.
As if sensing this, Li Ai, who hung her head, took the initiative to speak again, "Okay, let's go in," she said, but she let open the bathroom door and walked towards the kitchen. "You have a lot of pressing things to solve, don't you?" She and Zhang Zhou passed by, and after leaving his line of sight, the two fists hanging at her waist slowly released in the trembling of the step. It was only at this time that Zhang Zhoufang remembered what he wanted to do in the first place under her reminder, and at the same time, the forgotten physical oppression reappeared in his brain, and he grinned and couldn't wait to jump into the bathroom, and then carefully closed the door.
Before closing the door, he glanced at Li Ai's back and frowned a little confusedly. Why...... Will he think Li Ai is a little afraid of him?
Hearing the sound of the door lock closing, Li Ai, who had already walked to the kitchen door, paused. As if she wanted to confirm something, she subconsciously wanted to turn her head and take a look, but halfway through, she stopped again. Then, with some pain, she pursed her lips until the blood had completely faded and only a patch of snow was left, and then she lifted her foot again and stepped into the kitchen......
Did she do anything that scared her? After solving the physiological problem and feeling comfortable, Zhang Zhou unscrewed the faucet of the washstand, washed his hands, and removed the mouthwash cup on the shelf. He thought as he squeezed toothpaste onto his toothbrush.
However, no matter what he thought, he couldn't find any memories of it. He stared at himself in the mirror with a mouth full of foam, and after thinking for a while, he finally gave up. "Forget it, when she's in a better mood, find a chance to ask her."
Da, da...... The sound of the kitchen knife and the wooden cutting board touching each other is rhythmic. But the rhythm gradually became a little messy, and finally even stopped completely. Li Ai raised the hand that was pressing the cabbage and rubbed the reddened eyes with the back of his hand, but when he rubbed it, he kneaded tears.
"This ...... What is it? She threw away the kitchen knife and muttered fragile and painful, "Obviously...... It's been decided...... I decided to do that...... But why...... The words have come to the lips...... But even the courage to speak out...... None of them? ”
She whimpered in pain, trying to cover her mouth with her hands, trying to stop the sound from coming out, but the sound still sounded intermittently, never completely subdued.
"Why?" A vague voice of questioning echoed in the small kitchen, "Obviously a guy who has the courage to deceive anyone, why ...... now?" Can't even get the courage to say it? She roared in a low, almost cathartic manner, but as soon as the words were spoken, her body froze.
Tears rolled down her stiff face from the corners of her eyes. With every minute it slipped, the brilliance in her eyes dimmed. When it dripped from her face onto her clothes, the brilliance in her eyes dimmed completely, leaving only a faded black and white.
Then, she let go of her hands covering her mouth, tilted her head, and hooked the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile that was uglier than crying. "It turns out that I am even qualified to touch that emotion...... None of them? ”
"Yes, I forgot that it all started with a lie. Relationships built on lies are inherently weak...... Even so, it would have been a luxury to have that kind of relationship. And to want to touch that kind of relationship on such a basis is simply wishful thinking. ”
"Lies, lies...... I deceived him......" She looked up, staring at the ceiling above her with empty eyes, "the first time, the second time, the third time...... Deceiving again and again, I am not qualified for a long time......" Her empty eyes reflected what had happened...... That is, the deception she gave him, the lie she gave him.
For the first time, she gasped and stood in front of him, then whispered thanks to him for his babbling, and then whispered wistfully in his haha.
"I see it." She said, "I saw you unleash the bandage on your left hand and release the flames that were sealed inside, I saw you lift your bangs to reveal the six-pointed star that radiated light underneath, I saw a pair of dreamlike wings spread out behind you, I saw you release the thunder in your palm and shatter the monsters that were rushing towards you...... I also see you singing, chanting words to let the dead rest in peace, chanting exhortations to let demons break off illusions, and chanting ......"
"Can you see me? You are...... My kind? She could imagine how he looked at her with the same eyes as if he were looking at a treasure, and she could imagine the sparkle of hope in his eyes. Pity...... She's not.
"I'm sorry, I'm not." She could only apologize like this.
Yes, she wasn't, she wasn't the person he was expecting, she was just a stowaway who had gone into his life in a different way. With apprehension and desire, she left behind the deceitful hand and went to his side, causing him to be disappointed again.
And after she brought such a strong disappointment, he was still willing to help her. So, she asked for his help, and he gave her the answer she wanted. It's just that she doesn't have that answer in her mind.
That's it. However, in the face of him, who controlled her way to get the answer, she unconsciously took precautions. And this kind of defense becomes the beginning of a lie.
"Do you remember?" That was the first thing he said to her in the memory she had now......
