i love you after all

"Wow."

As soon as Lei Miaomiao stepped in, she saw a huge poster of the three ANTs on the wall facing the living room.

In the poster, Jiang Yanran turned her head slightly on the left side, her eyes closed tightly, her long blown hair set off a dignified and gentle face, and the background was a pure and holy white light; Xiong Xueer was on the right side, showing only half of her proud face On the right side of the face, the pupil is looking at the camera at the corner of the eye, and the background is sunk in broken darkness.In the middle is Dan Jin's face that was hit just right by the light. Half of her face is in the light, which is integrated with Jiang Yanran's composition, and the other half is in the dark, which is integrated with Xiong Xueer's composition.

The three of them were holding something in their hands, Dan Jin was holding a golden apple, Jiang Yanran was holding an olive branch, and Xiong Xueer was holding a cuckoo.

Lei Miaomiao took a closer look and found a line of small characters written under each person.

Below Danjin is written: "A person has two mes."

Xiong Xueer wrote below: "One is awake in the dark."

Jiang Yanran wrote below: "One fell asleep in the light."

"This is the poster of the new album. Lao Yu showed it to me yesterday. I thought it was a good shot, so I asked him for a big one and asked someone to stick it in the living room." Xiong Xueer explained to the new kid.

Lei Miaomiao was full of surprise: "Are you all stars?"

"You haven't seen me? Is this old lady really not popular?" Xiong Xueer raised her eyebrows exaggeratedly.

"I've seen her before," Lei Miaomiao ran to the poster and pointed to Dan Jin's face, "Mom didn't ask me to surf the Internet, but only allowed me to watch TV. I saw her while watching TV. This sister is so beautiful. .”

"Come on, let me show you our corporate culture," Xiong Xueer squatted down and hugged Lei Miaomiao with a smile, and started cultivating fans from dolls, "Our group is called ANT, remember? ANT. Why is it called ANT? In fact, each letter is the first letter of the English names of the three of us, namely 'Ace, Nadia, Tina'. The middle sister, Dan Jin, who you think is beautiful, her English name is Ace, why is it called What about Ace? Since her debut, she has been positioned as an absolute C position, so she simply called Ace directly. Nadia is Yanran's sister here..."

Dan Qian, who was serving food in the restaurant, heard a few words, and asked with a smile, "Why haven't I heard my sister mention her English name?"

"When I first debuted, the company insisted on starting it. Later, we all thought it was ugly and too rustic, so we seldom used it anymore, but fans in the fan circle still like to use it." Xiong Xueer became more excited when she said this, " Do you know what ANT is together? ant means ants, so our fans call us 'ants group'."

"So it's an ant group?!" Lei Miaomiao was excited, "I often hear my classmates say 'ant group' and 'ant group', but I don't know which group it is. It turns out, it is, it is..."

"Look, I said that our ANT is still famous." Xiong Xueer was quite relieved.

After serving the dishes, Danqian asked them to come over for dinner, and said with a smile, "You are already famous, Miss Xueer, you underestimate ANT's popularity. The stationery store in front of the school often sells your stickers and posters."

"Oh my God, I must tell them that I have met the real Ant Group!" Lei Miaomiao was so happy that she was about to faint.

"Remember to praise Xiong Xueer a little more, you know? This small group has the fewest fans of mine. You have to help me expand the base of the masses." Xiong Xueer patted Lei Miaomiao on the shoulder solemnly, entrusting important task.

"I want to tell my mother, we live in the same community with the stars!"

"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. You can blow it up as you like, but don't reveal our specific address, or you will be in big trouble."

Several people sat down at the dinner table, and faintly called "Sister Chuqiu" twice at the stairs.After a while, Chu Qiu came down slowly from upstairs.

"I went back to the bedroom as soon as I got back, what's wrong?" Dan Qian looked at Chu Qiu's face.

"I don't know... I'm a little dizzy." Chu Qiu limply.

"Cough?"

"It seems a little bit."

"It must have been outside for a long time and got cold. I'll cook ginger soup for you later." Putting her hands on her apron, she lightly wiped away the water stains left when she just cleaned the pot, "Are you still eating? "

"I don't want to eat with strangers." Chu Qiu glanced at Lei Miaomiao who was circling around the food in the restaurant, "She's too noisy."

"Then I'll save some food for you, and I'll take it to your bedroom in a while. You can go upstairs and sleep for a while."

"Ah."

Chu Qiu was about to leave, Danqian stopped her again: "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Chu Qiu looked over with a muffled voice.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, the kid who took shelter from the rain with you just now, the two of you..." Lightly smiled, "Have you chatted?"

"Is that considered a chat? It should be a quarrel." Chu Qiu was sullen.

The light focus is on something else: "I mean, are you willing to talk to her?"

"So what? She forced me!"

"Oh—" Danqian nodded, thoughtfully, "Call my sister later and tell her about it."

"En." Chu Qiu also nodded.

Chu Qiu went back to her bedroom, went to the balcony, opened the window of the balcony, the noisy rain outside suddenly became louder, and those raindrops seemed to be able to directly hit her brain nerves.

Sitting on the carpet on the balcony, she felt a little hot, so she wanted to blow some air.

It feels like I haven't contacted Danjin for a long time, she is always busy, she is not there every time I call, and when she comes back, it is late at night, and I miss it again in my deep sleep.On the second day, I saw the missed call and dialed again, but was busy again.Such a vicious circle after another.

While she was thinking wildly, a video request suddenly popped up on the mobile phone beside her.

Avatar of SpongeBob SquarePants.

Chu Qiu hurriedly picked up the phone and frantically pressed the answer button, the picture over there was blurred at first, then the camera was turned up, and the light brocade still wearing ancient makeup and hair appeared on the screen.

Chu Qiu didn't recognize Dan Jin's face all of a sudden. She put on heavy makeup, red eye shadow, and dark red lipstick. The contours of her face were obviously treated with a contouring brush.Chu Qiu stared at it for a long time before asking, "Why are you different?"

"Because I've become bad," the background behind Danjin kept moving, and he seemed to be walking. After walking a few steps, he sat down somewhere and showed Chuqiu the three-inch-long scar on his left hand. nails, "and practiced the Nine Yin White Bone Claws."

"It's so long," Chu Qiu was frightened by the nails, and opened his eyes, "How are you going to eat?"

"It's fake, it was pasted up, and it's being picked off now." As he spoke, Dan Jin showed her his bare right hand again.

"Is work done today?" Chu Qiu laughed.

"No, it's early. It's just that it rained suddenly, the scene by the river can't continue, and now we're switching to indoor scenes." Dan Jin suddenly got up again, walked to the side of the shed with her mobile phone, stretched her arms seven points out, Turn on the rear camera, "I'll show you the rain in Jiuzhaigou."

Chuqiu watched the gorgeous river water being messed up by the rain, and listened to the real sound of rain in his ears, as if he really stood side by side with Danjin.

"I just checked the weather, and it's raining in Jinjiang too," Dan Jin's voice came from behind the rain scene, "Did you get wet?"

"No."

She thought, Don't let Danjin worry.

"That's good. Be especially careful during the changing seasons. The month from winter to spring is the most likely to get sick. Remember to remind Xiaoqian and ask her to add two more clothes for you. The thick quilt is about to be put away. I will put the spring quilt away." On the top floor of your cabinet, ask Xueer to step on a stool to help you carry it, then you don’t want to go, I’m afraid you will fall.”

The camera suddenly went black, as if it was blocked by a passing person. The person noticed that Danjin was in the video, and stopped to look at the screen. When he saw Chuqiu, he smiled softly: "Xiao Chuqiu."

Dan Jin's voice came from outside the screen: "Chu Qiu, my name is Sister Yanran."

Chu Qiu stared at Jiang Yanran's gentle face in the video, and bluntly called, "Sister Yanran."

Jiang Yanran raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked in Danjin's direction in surprise: "Is she willing to talk to me?"

As soon as the camera turned, Dan Jin's face appeared again, "That's right, that's what you have to do, learn to trust others slowly. Don't be afraid to communicate with people, in fact, they are all the same as me, and will not harm you."

"But, when I can, I still don't want to say it." Chu Qiu frowned, "When I went to bury my teeth today, I met an unreasonable child who was too noisy. If everyone was as noisy as her , I would rather not speak for the rest of my life."

"Hasn't the last tooth been buried yet?"

"That one was buried a long time ago, and then it always fell off. Another one fell off yesterday," Chu Qiu bared his teeth for Danjin to see, and saw that all four of the gatekeepers were killed, and the huge gap was whizzing and leaking air, " look."

Dan Jin couldn't help laughing: "Remember, don't lick it too often, it will crook the newly grown teeth. If it is crooked, we have to straighten the teeth. You don't want yourself to become a small steel tooth, do you?"

"Well, I won't lick." Chu Qiu promised.

"Tell me about a new friend you met."

Dan Jin sat on a chair in the dressing room, and someone opposite her was changing her makeup.

Chu Qiu insisted: "She is not my friend."

"We live in a remote place, and we don't usually see any children. It's not easy to get to know a child. You can try to become friends with her. It's not a bad thing to have one more friend."

"Understood," Chu Qiu lamented, "It was hard for me to chat with you for a while, so let's not talk about that guy."

"Then what do you want to talk about?"

"Anything is fine, as long as I can watch you talk."

Dan Jin suddenly raised her head to look at one place, and after a while, she said hastily, "Chu Qiu, Director Li is about to change the scene, I'll hang up first, and we'll talk later."

Before Chu Qiu had time to say goodbye, "Video has been hung up" popped up on the screen.

She stared at the phone for a minute, then threw it aside and lay sprawled on the carpet, quietly watching the heavy rain outside the window.

The cold wind poured into the balcony, making her a little sleepy.

Getting sleepier.

Getting sleepier.

Then he seemed to fall asleep.Half asleep and half awake, it seems that I heard a faint voice.

"Sister Xueer, Chuqiu has a fever!"

That's what she yelled.

Later, she seemed to be carried to the bed by someone, and she was stuffed into a thick quilt. Someone poured a very bitter medicine into her mouth, and someone put a cool and refreshing towel on her forehead.When she struggled to open half of her eyes, she vaguely saw the beautiful woman with long curly black hair lying beside her.

Dimly conscious, she embraced her, which was something she had always wanted to do but never dared to do - to sleep with Danjin in her arms.

Although, this night's Danjin was a little hairy when hugged, and it also smelled like a fresh bun.

The author has something to say: ["A person has two Is, one is awake in the dark, the other is asleep in the light." from Gibran's "Sand and Foam"]

In the part of the poster description, the light and shadow colors directly indicate the keynote of the fate of the three people, as well as the things they hold in their hands. The golden apple held by the light brocade represents Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty (see the golden apple in ancient Greek mythology Allusions), the cuckoo held by Xiong Xueer represents the jealous Hera, and the olive branch held by Jiang Yanran represents Athena, the goddess of wisdom.What is the relationship between Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena? Anyone who knows a little about ancient Greek mythology should know~

It has been clearly pointed out in the article that the three sentences in "Sand and Mo" correspond to Dan Jin, Xiong Xueer, and Jiang Yanran respectively.Xiong Xueer's "Awakening in the Dark" will be explained later in the story, and Jiang Yanran's "Asleep in the Light" will not be mentioned. Why do you say that Danjin "has two me"?Because the core of the role of Dan Jin is the collision of indifference and kindness in her heart. Just looking at her name, you can tell the duality of her personality. "Dan" and "Jin" are antonyms. Suffering makes her indifferent.
