Faint thunder (II)
"Heavenly ...... Book? ”
I don't know what words to use to describe my current feelings, and I don't even know what kind of expression to use to face this person who shouldn't be here no matter how I think about it.
"Why, ...... you're here?"
"Of course I came in with you."
The boy's voice was surprisingly cheerful, and he didn't seem to care at all about the fact that he was locked up.
But yes, he's just an outsider, and there's no need to worry or worry.
And it doesn't seem like he's the type to get so easily panicked by this kind of thing.
There was a loud sound in his mouth, and the boy sat cross-legged in front of him, his chin in his hands, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes staring at him motionlessly.
"Now, what should I do, Yang Nai, aren't you going to the student union to hand in the report next? If they're locked up here like this, the work of the school festival will also be affected, right? ”
“......”
I didn't speak, maybe the boy didn't know, but I knew, and since they had decided to target me in this matter, they wouldn't leave me room for anything.
The school festival is a class project, so don't worry.,Before things become irreparable.,They'll definitely start to deal with it.,It's just that I'm involved...... It is inevitable that you will not be able to leave unscathed.
I can already imagine the "accountability" from the class teacher and even from the mother.
As an honor student, Yukishita Yono is a doll made by her mother, but if Yukishita Yono can no longer continue to play the identity of an honor student, then where is the value of her existence?
After all, if Yono under the snow is no longer an honor student, if I am no longer the eldest lady of the family under the snow that my mother expects.
If that really happens, then who am I now?
Miss? Honor student? Under the snow? Or is it a doll of the mother?
Who knows.
"What's wrong?"
The boy tilted his head, not the slightest impatient with my silence, and the thick smile in his eyes did not fade in the slightest.
"Isn't it going to be too late to go on like this? Aren't you in a hurry? ”
"It's useless to be in a hurry......"
After thinking about it, I tried to find some inconsequential words to respond to him.
"It's all locked up here, and if you want to get out, you have to wait for someone to help, right?"
"So, Yono, you want to go out?"
“...... Of course. ”
The boy's question was strange, like a pointless joke, or like a meaningful point, but either way, I didn't take it to heart.
After all, no matter what happens, it won't change where we are now.
At this moment, I think so.
Jingle bells.
It was the crisp sound of metal clashing, and as it passed through the boy's hand, it seemed as if something had been thrown in front of me, and I lowered my head.
That's a key.
I looked up dumbly, and I was greeted by the bright smile of the boy.
"Okay, Yono, don't you want to get out? The key has been handed over to you. ”
“......”
I was silent.
"What's wrong?"
The boy asked unhurriedly.
"Don't you really want to get out? Now all you have to do is get up and open the door behind you, you see, it's a very simple thing, right? ”
“......”
I was still silent.
"What's wrong?"
The boy was still not in a hurry, but his tone had become a little lower.
"Don't you want to go out?"
“......”
It may be a little late to say it now, but the young man's eyes seem to have already penetrated all my thoughts.
The key was in my hand, and although I didn't know how the boy got it, the truth was that as he said, if I wanted to get out, I just had to stand up.
But why, I, can't make a choice......
The way to get out is simple, and the way to stay is also simple.
I chose to go out because of me.,Snow under the sun is an honor student.,She has to complete the work of the next school festival.,But,What if you choose to stay?
There is no reason for Yang Nai to stay here, this is an unpredictable future outside of his mother's setting.
As long as the thread is there, the puppet will not be able to perform actions other than those intended.
However, now I deeply feel that the threads that have been wrapped around me and manipulated by my mother seem to have disappeared.
Now, at this moment, I am free to stay here.
No one can sway my thoughts, because everything I am facing is uncharted territory, there is no one set of options to choose from, and there is no known path to move forward.
Here, trapped in this dark cage, I have actually been liberated in the true sense of the word.
Now the choice I made is no longer within the scope of the honor student Xue Xia Yang Nai, it is a choice I have made.
It's my own, and I don't have to go through the rules set by my mother, and I rely entirely on instinct to make choices.
The feeling of this moment is wonderful.
It was a taste of freedom that I had never experienced.
But soon, I woke up, yes, from that illusory dream.
I should have gone out, no, I had to.
A doll is still a doll after all, and even if there is a dream borrowed by jealousy of others for a moment, its essence is still a doll.
Going back and doing my job as a puppet is what I'm supposed to do.
"It's decided?"
Seeing that I picked up the key on the ground and was about to stand up, the boy looked at me with a smile.
"First of all, once this door is opened, it can't be closed again."
It was a warm tone like saying goodbye to a friend who had traveled far away, and the young man's eyes were always smiling, there was no breathless oppression, no fear of being in the abyss, and there was only indifference.
It's like they're watching over something.
I can't read the thoughts in the teenager's mind at this moment.
Silently stood up, inserted the key into the keyhole, and at the moment when my hand was about to turn the key—
Bang!
It was the sound of a knock on the iron door, but not from the inside, but from the outside—
Bang bang bang!
"Yono! Are you in there? Yangno! ”
“...... By, by? ”
I struggled to call out the name of the owner of the voice, but my eyes slowly turned to the boy behind me.
It turned out that everything was my delusion.
The boy had never smiled like that, and the corners of his mouth were only a taunt that had become distorted and terrifying by his patience, and the pupils of his eyes, like monsters looking at their prey, were shining ominously at the moment.
I saw him slowly raise his hand, and the expression on his face seemed to be showing off something, and he looked extremely excited.
My gaze began to rise with the boy's hand, he was holding his mobile phone in his hand, the screen was on, and it showed an email sent from my email address, the recipient was Yiyi, and the content was only three words-
"Help me."
