Chapter 52: Romeo and Juliet
The light of the next day's dawn turned over the dark night, and the calendar paper belonging to yesterday was torn off lightly. The school's theatrical dance party is tantamount to a happy gathering place for red men and green women, dancing with the chapters of youth, and the students of the whole school wish they had played like this every day.
"'Deserted, looking for and seeking, miserable and miserable' This poem is most in line with Jiang Xiaomian's mood, do you say she will appear at the dance today?"
"It's not 'will not', but 'dare or not'!"
"Seeing her so embarrassed, I really want to give her a mask."
…
In the bathroom, the voice of public opinion of the girls is worse than the pervasive smell of excretion. Regarding the gathering place of women, as long as the time and place are right, even if people do not agree, gossip discussions can be carried out.
"Even the ancient poems are chanted upside down, so embarrassed to chew the root of the tongue!" Jiang Xiaomian really despised them, got up and kicked down the flush gear like stepping on someone's head, pushed out the door with a "bang", walked to the sink with a cold face and twisted the faucet to the far right. In an instant, only the sound of rushing water could be heard in the entire bathroom.
Those long-tongued women didn't know that Jiang Xiaomian was inside, and when they saw her holding water in both hands, they hurriedly stuck out their tongues and ran away from the gossip scene. They thought that if they were a few steps late, they would be splashed with water by Jiang Xiaomian.
Regarding the prom, Jiang Xiaomian felt that this thing was like an empty noun that had been whipped through the soul of interest by a rattan whip, and she walked straight to the dormitory. But the last thing you want to hear is in your ears.
"Wow, Ye Yao, your dress is so beautiful!"
Jiang Xiaomian saw them hugging Ye Yao and walking towards the scene of the ball, so he turned his back and prepared to take a detour, not wanting to touch this moldy head.
Ye Yao caught a glimpse of Jiang Xiaomian, and wanted to twist her sour, and walked in front of Jiang Xiaomian in the loud heels of "Wow".
"Xiaomian, there will be my piano recital later, Dong Yang specially selected the piece for me, Schumann's "Fantasia", you must come to the scene, no matter what you say, give me a round of applause!"
Fantasia is the seventh piece of Scenes from Childhood by the German writer Schumann, who was inspired by his lover. This bit of music common sense, Jiang Xiaomian has heard it a little, otherwise Ye Xiaomian's words would not have stabbed Jiang Xiaomian.
Jiang Xiaomian raised her head and looked into Ye Yao's eyes casually, and her words didn't need to be polite: "I'm very stingy with you, it's not a heartfelt applause, I'm too lazy to do it!" ”
Ye Yao glared at her, her tongue suddenly knotted and she couldn't return to her mouth: "You..."
Yu Mei was beside Ye Xiaomian and rolled her eyes 360° at Jiang Xiaomian, "The audience is not short of you, and you really treat yourself as a flower!" ”
Jiang Xiaomian was really afraid that Yu Mei's eyes would turn to cramps.
"Yes, there was no shortage of me, but Ye Yao personally invited me, but I refused! Do you say there is a lack of it? ”
After Jiang Xiaomian finished speaking, he saw Ye Yao glaring at Yu Mei, so he rewarded them with a contemptuous smile and was about to leave.
"You!" Ye Yao's face changed angrily because of Jiang Xiaomian's contemptuous smile, and grabbed her arm to prevent her from leaving, "Okay, I never knew that you also had a sharp side!" ”
As soon as Ye Yao's words fell, she immediately screamed, because she was startled by the "ghost" that came out from behind Jiang Xiaomian, with a white head and a red face in broad daylight, spitting out a bloody long tongue, and the white stripes on the two vertical sides of the high hat were weirdly fluttering.
You don't have to look closely, this is the "White Impermanence" little monster pot!
"I'm still dancing with my teeth and claws!" Lu Bing took Ye Yao's words.
The ghost knows how the pot is crazy today, and he actually cosplayed a white impermanence, and swaggered around the campus. No, I was driven back to the dormitory by the school guard to change my costume.
Ye Yao came back to his senses and laughed: "Lu Bingcurling, are you tired of being a man?" Want to be a ghost so soon? ”
"Yes! I'll come to you at night! Lu Bing took out the chain and made a blackmail gesture to bluff her.
Jiang Xiaomian pulled Lu Bing and left: "Hu Ke, let's go!" ”
Lu Bing turned his head and twisted his long tongue at Ye Yao as he walked.
Yu Mei sneered when she saw Lu Bing's appearance: "Originally, she was not a man or a woman, but today she is not a person, a ghost or a ghost!" I really want to see if the play "Romeo and Juliet" arranged by her in the art department is not such a ghostly style! ”
"Romeo and Juliet?" Ye Miao didn't know anything about this matter.
Yu Mei nodded in surprise, "Don't you know?" Lu curling is also a reverse string of Romeo! Speaking of this, Yu Mei complained again, "If I were Juliet, I'm afraid I'd laugh at Romeo with a woman's face!" ”
"And who's playing Juliet?"
"They're tied, and you know her too, Ah Linbei!"
Yu Mei's words intentionally or unintentionally stirred up the bad water in Ye Yao's stomach, and she rushed at Lu Bing's malice just now, and Ye Yao tried every means to make Lu Bingling make a fool of herself.
In the dormitory, Lin Shen fiddled with the fluttering long skirt and asked Zhang Qingru: "Ruru, look, how is my dress?" ”
Lin Shen rarely wore a decent fairy dress, Zhang Qingru nodded and smiled: "Well, it's not bad, but I remind you responsibly as a costume designer and connoisseur that this long dress is suitable for a pearl necklace, the sparkling kind." ”
"Cut! What about dual identity, what pearl necklace, you know I don't have it! You're waiting for your boyfriend to go to the sea and fish it for you! Lin Shen replied, and the two of them were messing around.
"Xiaomian, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"
"I..." Jiang Xiaomian was silent.
"Don't say you don't want to go! Hurry up, change your clothes! Lin Shen's words hit the meaning of Jiang Xiaomian's unfinished words.
Lu Binglu also "instigated": "Xiaomian, there is a drama directed by me, you can't help but cheer!" After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Shen, and that look seemed to say to Lin Shen, "How about it, this kind of 'kidnapping', or the kettle, I open my mouth is the most lethal." ”
"Yes, yes!" Lin Shen pouted and shook Jiang Xiaomian.
Zhang Qingru was responsible for opening the wardrobe and making a ceremonial gesture of "please": "Please ask Jiang Da Beauty to choose clothes!" ”
Their joint attack, Jiang Xiaomian really had no chance to resist, he stood in front of the closet and thought about what kind of clothes to wear, but when he glanced at it, he saw a bag containing a red dress. It was a dress that I bought with Xiang Dongyang.
"It's no longer a thing." Jiang Xiaomian thought about throwing it aside and ignoring it.
It seemed to be deliberately trying to attract attention, and it slipped off the corner of the cabinet and fell to the ground.
The gift box in the "pop" bag is on display.
Lin Shen picked it up and opened it to look at the delicate red dress on display, and smiled into an oval in surprise: "Oh, some people still say that they won't go, but the dress is secretly prepared in advance." ”
"Hurry up, Xiaomian, change it out and show us."
Jiang Xiaomian thought to herself, if she can't find a suitable dress to replace the dress, she can only use it, after all, let Ye Yao see it, and it should hurt herself, right?
At the entrance of the ball, Ye Jiao and his party were piled up there chattering.
"Tsk, Ye Yao, look at your dress, no wonder you can pocket Xiang Xiaocao!" Yu Mei followed behind Ye Yao's ass and flattered her ignorance, eager to praise Ye Yao to the sky, so that people would know that she was more loyal than a dog.
The people next to him also praised: "Nonsense, how can the school flower of Changnan University be suppressed by a stepdaughter who turns a chicken into a phoenix!" ”
…
Jiang Wanguan walked far away and heard their unruly talk, and the corners of her mouth skimmed a sneer. Dressed in a gorgeous lilac bandeau gown, she understated herself from behind them into the ball.
Ye Yao stood at the door, finally waiting for her target.
Jiang Xiaomian, Lin Shen, and Lu Bing came to the door of the dance together, Ye Yao stared at Jiang Xiaomian, and saw that she was wearing the dress she had picked with Xiang Dongyang that day. The red lace dress skirt wrapped her slender waist delicately and shapely, and the half-draped twist hung down on the shaved shoulders, faintly distinguishing the clavicle line, and the deep bone socket seemed to dent the jealousy of countless women. Fill in and fill in.
Ye Yao pretended to be disdainful, and smiled in Jiang Xiaomian's ear, "Poor worm who was abandoned, if I were you, why would I be embarrassed to wear this dress to embarrass people?" ”
"You misunderstood, I personally selected this dress, and I paid for the money. With Xiang Dongyang's eyes, I can only see the vulgarity in you! Jiang Xiaomian's words hit Ye Yao hard with a mallet.
Aroused Ye Yao's anger, he reached out to slap Jiang Xiaomian: "You are looking for a fight!" Then he used all his strength to fan it, but a layer of sponge-like air was flicked into the air, and it turned out to be Jiang Xiaomian pulled away from Dongyang.
Xiang Dongyang calmed down the situation and said, "Ye Yao, your piano performance is about to start, why don't you prepare yet?" ”
Jiang Xiaomian saw that Xiang Dongyang's face was like a watercolor dyeing plate, bruised and swollen, blue and purple for a while. Listening to the news that Lu Xiaoguo released to Lin Shen, and then Lin Shen came out, it was because Han Feiran punched Xiang Dongyang several times in the dormitory last night.
Ye Yao snorted at Jiang Xiaomian, and in front of everyone, he picked up Xiang Dongyang's arm and smug, and walked towards the infield of the dance party with a flying face.
After Jiang Xiaomian entered, she found a random seat, and Ye Yao appeared on the stage with warm applause and began her piano performance.
Last night's confession to Dongyang was combined with the arrogant and domineering Ye Yao, and Jiang Xiaomian felt that the facts were unbelievable at that time. At this time, I had to admire Ye Yao on the stage, and the black and white keys of the piano danced into beautiful notes under her fingertips. It turns out that Ye Yao's piano sound will also be as melodious as the mountains and flowing water. To think about it another way, in fact, Ye Yao is also extremely good as others. In addition, I have known Xiang Dongyang since I was a child. Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that Xiang Dongyang likes Ye Yao.
Jiang Xiaomian thought like this for a long time, and searched for Xiang Dongyang's shadow in the seat in front of him, but it was strange that he didn't see him. Maybe he was in the back seat, but Jiang Xiaomian didn't want to look back.
The mobile phone vibrated rapidly, and it was Lu Bingcurling calling.
"Hello? What happened to the pot? Jiang Xiaomian lowered his head and asked quietly.
As soon as he opened his mouth on the other side, he was anxiously crying: "Xiaomian, what should I do, my drama is about to start, but Ah Lin somehow disappeared, and the phone couldn't get through, seeing that it was about to play, you came to help, okay!" ”
"I'll go over to you first, don't worry." Jiang Xiaomian hung up the phone and hurriedly left his seat.
In the dressing room, the preparation of the drama was chaotic for a while, the heroine Ah Lin had an accident and couldn't find anyone, and Lu Bingling was worried that there was no suitable person to play against her.
"How's it going?" As soon as Jiang Xiaomian arrived, everyone looked at her with no opinion.
Lu Bing curly hurriedly pulled Jiang Xiaomian over: "They tried it just now, and they can't even memorize a paragraph of English, Xiaomian, your English is not bad, please!" As he spoke, he handed the line book to Jiang Xiaomian and made a gesture of putting his hands together and begging.
"Well, you don't have to beg me."
"I know you're the best!" Lu Bingling happily helped Jiang Xiaomian to sit in front of the mirror, helping her dress up and styling while urging her to memorize her lines.
"Xiaomian, the costume is placed here, and you will go into the locker room to change later."
"Oh, okay." Jiang Xiaomian picked up the costume and entered the dressing room.
"Knock knock, knock knock, kettle..."
There was a sudden knock at the door.
"Who, the door is not closed, knock on something!" Lu Bing complained that when he went out to look, he didn't see anyone knocking on the door, and muttered, "Who called me just now?" She pondered that she was suddenly pulled against the wall with a burst of force, and the man commanded her: "Take off your costume!" ”
Seeing that the person was Xiang Dongyang, and with a serious and strong appearance, Lu Bing curled to protect himself with both hands: "I'm very serious, don't think anything wrong about me!" ”
"I've got you covered, Romeo's role for me!"
Xiang Dongyang's words are straight to the point.
Lu Bing rolled his eyes in doubt, grinned bitterly and said, "Then I have to ask Xiao Mian if she agrees!" As he spoke, he was about to go in and call Jiang Xiaomian's name.
Xiang Dongyang hurriedly covered Lu Bing's mouth: "You don't need her to agree, as long as you agree!" ”
In a very simple sentence, Lu Bing was confused by his ruthless words: "Handsome guys are just different!" Then he nodded, "Oh, for Xiaomian, I sacrificed it!" ”
on stage.
"Next, the Department of Fine Arts presents us with Shakespeare's classic Romeo and Juliet."
The stage lights lit up in an instant, and the light that fell on Jiang Xiaomian made the entire stage pave the way for an unpredictable future.
Everyone saw Jiang Xiaomian wearing a fluffy Western Luo skirt, wearing Juliet's appearance from the left side of the stage, and Romeo on the right appeared with a face facing Dongyang.
Jiang Xiaomian saw that face was close at hand, like the scene where the male and female protagonists met for many years in the movie, and she was shocked: "How could it be him?" ”
The audience was equally surprised.
"How could it be them?"
"Oh, what the hell!"
…
They talked a lot, Ye Yao couldn't sit still and gritted her teeth, she thought to herself that she just bribed Ah Lin to escape and see how Lu Bing curly made a fool of himself. When the results were presented, she was completely confused and didn't know what was going on.
Jiang Xiaomian stood on the stage, the scene was like a time-traveling drama of dancing drama, the lines jumped into a hollow with the brain, and the whole person was stunned for several seconds, until Xiang Dongyang spoke his lines first, and only after everything was confirmed did he gradually enter the play.
The scene they are about to unfold is the classic dialogue in the second act of Romeo and Juliet, where Romeo climbs the wall and enters the garden of Capulet's house and Juliet has a tryst.
……
The stars shine brightly on the stage:
Xiang Dongyang: She?? speaks! (Romeo: She spoke!) )
O,speak?? again,bright?? angdl!for?? thou?? art. (Ahh Go on, angel of light! )
…
Jiang Xiaomian: O?? Romeo,Romeo! Wherefore?? art?? thou?? Romeo? (Romeo, why are you Romeo?) )
Deny?? thy?? father?? and?? refuse?? thy?? name. (Deny your father, throw away your name!) )
…
Under the stage, there are a pair of quiet eyes, some people are appreciating, some people are angry, and some people are occasionally sad. When the martyrdom of the underground mausoleum was performed in the last scene, some people began to cry.
Xiang Dongyang kissed Jiang Xiaomian who was lying in the coffin surrounded by flowers and kissed her on the forehead.
This kiss was so familiar, and tears flowed down the corners of Jiang Xiaomian's eyes, sliding on her soft thousand strands of hair.
……
Xiang Dongyang: Juliet, why are you still so fair? Death that has sucked the honey of your breath hashad no power as yet to spoil your beauty. Although death has drained your sweet breath, it cannot take away your beauty. )
……
After saying the lines, Xiang Dongyang drank the "poison" and lay down beside Jiang Xiaomian.
Jiang Xiaomian opened his eyes and saw Xiang Dongyang with his eyes closed. At that moment, Jiang Xiaomian was thinking: "A family-induced love tragedy, if you have such a life, what should you do?" ”
The dagger prop on Xiang Dongyang's body was waiting under the stage lights.
……
"Ahh Jiang Xiaomian took the dagger and stabbed it into his chest, and fell beside Xiang Dongyang with a smile.
The blood is real, the eyes are flowing, and the following of love is more real.
Ending.
A round of applause.
Jiang Xiaomian lay on Xiang Dongyang's body and let the fake blood flow.
Neither of them took the initiative to get up, deducing warmth and sticking to each other, and let this continue for a few minutes.
…
"What's the matter, isn't it over?" The voices in the audience gradually rose, and they all stood up one after another. It seems like something is going to happen in the next second.
Han Feiran saw the blood stained on Jiang Xiaomian's chest, thought that the fake play had come true, and hurriedly ran onto the stage.
"Xiao Mian..."
Hearing someone calling, Jiang Xiaomian opened his eyes and rounded the audience with everyone: "It's okay, I'm tired of acting just now, take a rest." ”
"Then I'll take you to the dressing room to remove these things and go." Han Feiran picked up Jiang Xiaomian and left.
Xiang Dongyang watched Jiang Xiaomian leave without saying hello, and there were only lines of "Romeo and Juliet" from beginning to end. When he left, he didn't even look at himself, and he didn't even sweep the slightest bit of afterglow.
