I still vividly remember that in the ward filled with the smell of disinfectant water, Yu Meng's thin body was wrapped in a large hospital gown, looking empty and lonely. Yu Meng's mother was crying silently beside her, with a sad face. Yu Meng's face was fearless, and her body was full of courage. Finally, the operation was unexpectedly successful, and Yu Meng could continue to dance, and the ribbons of the ballet shoes were elegantly entangled, just to cover up the long scars on both feet.

Over the years, every time Yu Meng's mother came to the school and dance troupe to see her, she still couldn't help crying when she talked about the operation, she said that she often had the same dream, dreaming that Yu Meng was pushed into the operating room, she chased after the operating car, stepped into the air, fell into the bottomless abyss, and then woke up from the nightmare. It can be seen how heart-wrenching and thrilling that operation is for a mother.

After such pain and torture back then, and even at the risk of crippled feet, Yu Meng has always been very strong, and has never thought of giving up the ballet she loves. But now, she has lost faith in herself.

I couldn't accept Yu Meng like this, so I grabbed her hand and pulled her up from the chair. "Take a good look in the mirror." I emotionally dragged her to the big mirror in the dressing room, "The mirror is our faithful companion, and the real audience is actually ourselves in the mirror."

Xiao Se told me that everyone wants to see the most perfect version of themselves in the mirror, but it is cruel that the mirror will only reflect your reality. If the self reflected in the mirror is far away from the ideal self, you can only accept the reality and accept the imperfect self. I will now pass on this sentence to you, youth is capital, you can be fearless and move forward bravely. It's okay not to be perfect, just believe in yourself and you will be perfect one day! ”

After I finished speaking in one breath, I saw Yu Meng looking at the mirror in a panic, she was standing there, like a flag in the cold wind, fluttering and swaying. Suddenly, she clasped her head in her hands and let out an extremely terrifying scream: "Ahhh

My eyes widened in shock.

She closed her eyes, tears pouring down like a crumbling riverbank. "I don't want to look in the mirror!" She screamed, "Don't look! No! ”

Her tear-streaked face and tearing voice frightened me, and I said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forced you to look in the mirror." ”

"I hate mirrors, I hate looking in them!" Yu Meng opened her eyes, shouted again, and then rushed out of the door like a wounded beast. I was so frightened that I hurried to catch up, but as soon as she reached the door, she hit Xiao Se's body headlong, and the inertia caused her whole body to bounce away and fall backwards, and I helped her in time.

"Xiao Se, why are you here?" I looked at him in surprise.

"I was waiting for you outside, but I accidentally got a guidestone out of the labyrinth." Xiao Se closed the door of the dressing room under my bewildered gaze, and then turned to Yu Meng, "Why are you so scared when you see the mirror?" That's because there are witnesses to the case in the mirror. ”

Yu Meng stood there stunned, like a plaster statue, with no blood on her lips.

Looking at her reaction, I already know that what Xiao Se said is the truth. The person who looked in the mirror abnormally turned out to be Yu Meng! I never dreamed of such a possibility!

"The exterior wall of the company's building is covered with glass, and when you stand on the turntable on the third floor of the open-air staircase, the glass in front of you becomes a mirror. The murderer who pushed Ye Zihan downstairs saw himself reflected in the mirror and became a witness to his own crime. Xiao Se stared at Yu Meng, who had confused eyes and nervous emotions, "From that day on, when the murderer sees himself reflected in the mirror, his conscience will be condemned, and he will not dare to look directly at the mirror." But as a dancer, the mirror is her faithful companion, and she dare not look at the mirror, which means that she has lost her faithful companion and cannot check her every move in the mirror, so she regresses, falls behind, and even makes mistakes in the assessment. Yu Meng, the case of Ye Zihan falling from the building, the real murderer is you! ”

Yu Meng's feet were limped, and her body was shaky. I held her up again, and she took a heavy breath and shook her head in pain. "What I want to push is Lan Jingyu, but I didn't expect to push Zihan by mistake. I was also angry for a while, who knew that things would turn out like this. ”

"Why are you pushing Lan Jingyu?" I asked in shock.

"Please don't ask." Yu Meng covered her face, trembling all over, tears slipped from her fingers, "I can't say, I can't say ......"

"Please tell me, this is not only related to Ye Zihan, but also related to another case, Yu Meng, you are the accomplice of that case!" Xiao Se said solemnly, "I assure you that no one else will know about our conversation today except for the three of us. ”

Yu Meng took away her hand and asked in astonishment, "What case?" Why do you say I'm an accomplice? ”

"You tell us first, why did you push Lan Jingyu downstairs." Xiao Se did not answer.

Yu Meng gritted her teeth, gasped, and said in a low voice: "Because...... She knew about my relationship with Qin Feng, and used all kinds of ugly words to insult and humiliate me. When I met her after the rehearsal that day, I was insulted by her again, saying that I was a lowly woman, just like a prostitute, who came and went as soon as Qin Feng summoned me, and was also a free prostitute.

I was in a bad mood, walking everywhere to relax, and then I came to the turntable on the third floor, and I happened to see Zihan. The light there was not good, and I couldn't see the face clearly, but I recognized Lan Jingyu's shawl, and she was very similar to Zihan's figure, so I thought that person was Lan Jingyu, she looked down at that time, I hated her so much that I suddenly had the idea of pushing her down. If she falls on the third floor, she shouldn't die, and if she falls and can't return to the dance troupe to dance, she won't have a chance to insult me again. As long as I sneaked up on her from behind, she didn't know who pushed her down. I literally pushed her down, and the moment she fell, I looked up and saw myself inside the glass. Xiao Se was right, I was a witness to my crime in the mirror, I was terrified and uneasy, and later I learned that it was Zihan who was pushed down by mistake by me, and I was about to collapse......"

She couldn't go any longer, and began to weep bitterly.

I looked at Yu Meng, and my heart was a mess. All kinds of shocks poured in and pressed me tightly. "You and Qin Feng ...... Since when? How could Lan Jingyu know? ”

"I fell in love with Qin Feng not long after I came to the dance troupe, I knew that I was not worthy of him, and I shouldn't have put my mind on this kind of thing, but I just kept this feeling silently in my heart. But he still felt that at the beginning of this year, there was a small dinner party outside for the dance troupe, and your parents came to see you that day, and you didn't attend. After the dinner, Qin Feng offered to take me back to the dormitory, but drove me to his residence...... I know that he has a lot of women, and if he doesn't really treat me, I still can't refuse him...... We've been in that relationship ever since.

Do you remember the night when Xiao Se occupied your dormitory, I opened the door and came out to see you and asked you to accompany me to the bathroom, in fact, Qin Feng was in my dormitory at the time, and I was there to let him leave. Unexpectedly, it was seen by Lan Jingyu. The next day she came to me, sneered at me, and then provoked me with repeated insults. ”

I sighed deeply. "Does Zihan know that you pushed her downstairs?"

"I don't know, Qin Feng has been hiding it from her. I was so uncomfortable that I told Qin Feng, and he warned me that if I wanted to stay in the troupe, I had to keep it a secret and rot it in my stomach. On Zihan's side, he will be responsible for handling it. I know that he is actually doing it for himself, and if this matter is pursued, it will seriously affect his reputation. He told me very frankly that he was used to being free, that he did not want to be bound by marriage, and that women were just spices of life for him. The reason why he got engaged to Zihan this time was to appease her, and on the other hand, to add points to his own future. I'm so sorry for Zihan, but I can only listen to Qin Feng's words. I had long had the idea of leaving the company, and my conscience was tormented and my state was getting worse and worse. Also, after Zihan returns from injury, how should I face watching her and Qin Feng openly show their affection. It's just that I can't bear it, I can't bear the ballet I loved since I was a child, I can't bear to pay so many years of hard work, I don't even have enough to dance, how can I give up so willingly. ”

She sobbed, crying so sadly, so aggrieved, "I have been struggling in contradictions, and this assessment mistake should be God's punishment for me." It was good that forced me to finally make the choice to leave the stage and leave this sad place. ”

"Yu Meng, why are you so stupid, Qin Feng is just a scourge and ruined you......" Horror, heartache, anger, all kinds of emotions tightly entangled me and made me cry.

"I also know I shouldn't be so stupid, but I just can't control my feelings for him." She reached out and grabbed my wrist tightly, her fingers sinking into my muscles, "I'm going crazy for him, I'm trying all kinds of ways to escape, but I can't help it, I can't extricate myself, I love him, I love him!" ”

I looked at Yu Meng incredulously, she looked like a dying person trekking in the desert, Qin Feng was her only source of water. Yu Meng in front of me suddenly became so unfamiliar, the bright girl who grew up with me, practiced together, and chased dreams together was gone, replaced by a little woman who was crazy about love and desperate, but ended up bruised and exhausted!

"The morning after the end of the new dance drama, I saw a man coming out of your dormitory, that man, shouldn't it be Qin Feng?" Xiao Se asked another question that made me extremely stunned, Qin Feng hadn't danced for many years, and although he maintained a good figure, he was obviously fatter than those male actors. And the man I saw that day was a standard dancer figure. ”
