C debut

"Are you okay?" A strange female voice came from above.

Lin Wan raised her head and looked at the source of the voice—the girl's hair was loose to her waist, her eyebrows were delicate, and there was a slight sense of alienation.The eyes are clear, as if holding a pool of clean spring water.Her brows were furrowed, and she was looking at Lin Wan worriedly.

The temperament is clean and elegant, like the dark clouds blooming in the empty valley.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Wan smiled.

"Senior Xinyue, what are you looking at?" In front of the line, Ning Yichu took out another fruit, put it in his mouth, and said inarticulately, "Are you hungry? Would you like something?"

"No, it's fine. Let's move on." Jiang Xinyue quickly turned her head and looked forward.

Lin Wan looked at Jiang Xinyue's back, lowered her head while blinking.

"Hello, my name is Lin Qin." The girl who had just supported her stretched out her hand, "From Tiansheng Media."

"Tiansheng Media?" Lin Wan hurriedly held her hand, "We are a company."

Lin Qin said lightly: "Senior."

Lin Wan withdrew her hand and smiled: "It's still the same family name."

Lin Qin suddenly took her hand: "The road here is not easy to walk, so be careful."

Lin Wan froze for a moment, she was a little surprised by the sudden touch from the other party, she quickly withdrew her hand: "It's okay, I'll pay attention."

Lin Qin nodded without any change in expression.

Within 10 minutes, they saw a small apartment filled with light.Under the night, the lights of the apartment dimmed all the tired trainees.After a moment of daze, they quickly ran into the apartment.

On the first floor of the apartment is a long table that can sit around a dozen people, and the long table is equipped with delicacies of different cuisines.

Ning Yichu's eyes immediately lit up when she saw it, and she clasped her hands together: "Happiness! Happiness! So happy!" She quickly rushed to the table, sat down immediately, and began to eat the food on the table without any hesitation. Don't worry about image.

Dong Chengnian quickly followed her and stroked her back: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"You, eat quickly too. It's delicious!" Ning Yichu looked at Dong Chengnian from time to time, "If you don't want to eat, you can serve me a bowl of soup. That's right, the one on the corner of the table, tomato beef soup Yes, yes! Nian Nian, you are so considerate!"

When Dong Chengnian came back to her with the soup, Ning Yichu immediately hugged her tightly and kissed her on the cheek.

"It's all oil! Please, wipe your mouth first when you kiss next time." Dong Cheng gave her a disgusted look, but couldn't help laughing when he turned his head.

"Senior, shall we go have dinner together?" Lin Qin looked at Lin Wan and asked.

"Don't call me senior, just call me Lin Wan." Lin Wan turned around, "No, I'm not very hungry, I'm going back to rest first."

Lin Qin hurriedly caught up: "I'm not very hungry." She followed Lin Wan, "I heard that two people live in one room. Can I live with you?"

Lin Wan nodded: "Of course."

"Ding dong, ding dong." The clock rang suddenly, and it was already twelve o'clock at night.

Every night from twelve o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the morning, the real-time live broadcast of VR will be closed, and netizens will no longer see the content in VR.

After taking a key from the counter, they went to the room.

Opening a door, darkness enveloped them in an instant.

"Lin Wan," Lin Qin called her suddenly, "Do you like Senior Xinyue?"

With a bang, Lin Wan let go of her hand, and the door was quickly closed.

"I like it." In the dark space, she could only see Lin Qin's eyes.

"What kind of preference is it? Have you thought about it?" Lin Qin asked slowly.

Lin Wan immediately turned on the light by the door and smiled: "I'm sorry, I've been soaking in the sea for a long time today, and I don't feel very well. I'm going to take a bath first."

After saying that, she hurried into the bathroom and closed the bathroom door.

She leaned against the door, sat down slowly, and remained silent for a long time.

After Lin Wan and Lin Qin finished washing, it was already two o'clock in the morning when they lay on the bed.Most of the trainees have also returned to the room to rest.

Lin Wan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

She subconsciously raised her hand to hold the necklace Jiang Xinyue gave her around her neck.After a while, she slowly let go of her hand again and sighed.

The moonlight outside the window shone on the bed sheet, and she followed the moonlight and slowly wrote three words—Jiang, Xin, Yue.

After finishing writing, she froze for a moment, then quickly withdrew her hand, as if she had touched a hot flame.

These three words seemed to be getting brighter and brighter under the moonlight, making the eyes stinging.

She slowly covered the three words with her hands, and gradually fell asleep.

She thought Jiang Xinyue could only receive her message if she held the necklace with one hand and wrote something with the other.

What she didn't know was that it was in another room at the end of the corridor.In the pitch-black space, Jiang Xinyue stared at the three words in gold in her hand, and stayed up all night.

"Lin Wan..." Jiang Xinyue's sigh quietly disappeared in the virtual world with the evening wind.

I like that you are silent, always silent.

Maybe you will never know how many times I have said your name in my heart and between the opening and closing of my lips and teeth in the past ten years.

then only like me

The next morning, before five o'clock, Lin Wan woke up from the nightmare.

Her dreams are always changing memories of her childhood - she knelt in front of the tree and childishly offered a sugar offering to the old tree; she pulled the moon out of the violent crowd; Internet insults, media bombardment, even being pointed at while walking on the road; to damage to the vocal cords, being hidden by the company...

For some reason, in the dream, she was very calm, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

Xu felt her mood in the consciousness of her head, and the dream suddenly changed into Jiang Xinyue's appearance—she turned her head slightly, her eyebrows and eyes slightly stretched.The moonlight sprinkled between her brows and eyes.She was like a cunning cat, she smiled at her, then turned her head and continued to run forward.

Lin Wan's heart beat violently uncontrollably, and her breathing even became rapid.

But the dream changed again. For some reason, in the dream, both the news and the media began to insult Jiang Xinyue, saying that she was actually with a woman, and this woman was a [-]-year-old who had been full of black material and had been out for a long time. line diva.

Jiang Xinyue hugged her and said she didn't care.But Lin Wan shook off her hand, pushed her out of her room, and said loudly——I care!

In the dream, when the door closed, all the surrounding scenery began to collapse and shatter, and she also woke up suddenly at that time.

When she woke up, she was covered in sweat.

"Huh, huh—" Lin Wan sat on the bed, looking at her hands with dilated pupils, and couldn't recover for a while.

"Lin Wan, what's wrong with you?" Lin Qin was woken up by her, sat up and asked while rubbing his eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm sorry, I woke you up." Lin Wan said guiltily.

Lin Qin shook her head; "I'm a light sleeper, besides, I have to run in the morning at seven o'clock." She got out of bed and walked in front of her, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Lin Wan nodded, with a smile on her face: "You take a rest, I'm going to wash up first."

When encountering anything, the first thing she thinks of now is to escape.In the past, she was always the one who stood at the front, with a lot of energy and courage.

When did it change?

She quickly washed up and went downstairs. As soon as she reached the first floor, she heard Ning Yichu's voice: "Child, grab something from your sister? You are still young!"

Lin Wan walked into the restaurant and saw Ning Yichu and Dong Chengnian grabbing a cake with chopsticks.

"Aren't there other cakes?" Lin Wan put a mango pancake in front of Ning Yichu, "Why did you grab it?"

"Senior Lin Wan," Ning Yichu looked at her pitifully, "This is the last matcha cake, and Dong Chengnian insists on grabbing it from me."

"I stole it from you? Didn't you steal my cake?" Dong Chengnian immediately picked up the cake, put it in front of Lin Wan, and said with a smile, "Senior, you eat."

"Senior, look at her!" Ning Yichu folded her arms around her chest, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Lin Wan smiled: "She's just kidding with you."

Her smile froze instantly. Outside the restaurant, Jiang Xinyue walked in while chatting with someone.She smiled brightly, as if she was talking about something happy.

"Senior, sit down and eat too." Ning Yichu tugged on La Linwan's sleeve, "If you don't eat, there will be nothing good to eat."

Lin Wan shook her head: "I've already eaten, you guys eat first." After speaking, she immediately left the restaurant as if fleeing.

The morning in the virtual world is very clean, with a faint mist surrounding the forest.The first ray of sunlight in the morning sprinkles on the ground through the mist, and changes into different shapes with the breeze.

The whole world is very quiet, so quiet that Lin Wan is a little tired.She sat down slowly against the tree, hugging her knees with her hands, and her mind was a little empty for a while.

Suddenly, a footstep came from behind.

Lin Wan's heart suddenly beat wildly uncontrollably, and she froze in place, staring blankly at the dew on the green shoots in front of her, without saying a word.

"Lin Wan." Lin Qin's voice sounded from above his head.

For some reason, Lin Wan was suddenly discouraged, and her breathing gradually became steady. She raised her head: "What's the matter?"

"Seeing that you haven't eaten, I brought you a copy." She stretched out her hand and handed a copy of wanton noodles to Lin Wan. "I'm going to run in the morning later."

Lin Qin's expression basically didn't change much, as if in her eyes, nothing was important.

"Thank you." Lin Wan took the bowl of noodles and started eating slowly.In order not to embarrass the other party too much, she asked, "Lin Qin, when did you make your debut?"

"Ten years ago, the child star debuted." Lin Qin threw a layer of tissues on the ground and sat down, "The first drama I took on was the heroine, and it was about a child crossing half the country to find his father."

... Lin Wan suddenly didn't know what to say.In fact, she didn't want to ask Lin Qin what the first play was about.

Lin Wan laughed awkwardly: "The heroine is quite brave."

"You forgot," Lin Qin lowered her head, the morning sun fell on her slightly long eyelashes, casting a faint shadow on her face, "You sang the opening song of this show, and you played a role in it."

She paused: "My best friend. In the play, you died for me."

Lin Qin's expression didn't change at all, she said this sentence seriously, but it hit Lin Wan's smile.But Lin Wan also felt that a sudden smile would make the other party unhappy, so she tried her best to calm her mood.

To be honest, she really doesn't remember.Since her debut at the age of nine, she has acted in too many TV dramas, sung episodes and opening and ending songs for too many movies, and collaborated with too many artists.

But when the black material broke out, no one stood up and spoke for her.

Thinking of this, Lin Wan's mood calmed down again: "You debuted so early," she paused, "You should know that I was scolded back then..."

Lin Qin raised his head suddenly and looked at Lin Wan seriously: "I don't believe it."

"What don't you believe?"

"I don't believe anything they say, the videos they send, or the reports they write." Lin Qin said every word.

Speechless for a while.

"Haha." Lin Wan laughed suddenly. She raised her head, clutched her belly, and laughed uncontrollably.After a long time, she calmed down slowly, looked at Lin Qin, and said seriously, "Thank you, Lin Qin."

"Senior Xinyue, what are you doing here with a bowl of noodles? Haven't you eaten it?"

Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.

"It's nothing, go back, get ready for a morning run."

Lin Wan turned her head and stood up after seeing Jiang Xinyue's back slowly disappearing from sight, and smiled at Lin Qin: "Let's go back too."

The morning run soon ended, and Teacher Li Xiang appeared at the door of the apartment again. She seemed to have forgotten the displeasure yesterday, and looked at the girls under her group with a smile on her face: "Children, did you have a good morning run? "

The trainees all said in unison: "Yes."

"Why are you so weak?" Li Xiang's expression suddenly became serious, "Didn't you have breakfast!"

The trainees immediately fell silent and looked at Li Xiang in a panic.

Li Xiang, who has been in the entertainment industry all the year round and has become a queen, looked at the trainees in front of her with dissatisfaction, and raised her voice: "Remember me, I am your teacher, and you are just trainees who have never debuted. Here, the much-anticipated opportunity is not just given, and you just happen to have such luck! If you don’t work hard, you will be eliminated by this program and this circle!"

The more Li Xiang talked, the more excited she became. She pointed to a trainee: "You, straighten your back! An artist who is going to be a girl group, hunched all day long, what does it look like!"

All trainees straightened their backs subconsciously.

"Now practice with me, start singing 'yi'," she looked at Lin Qin, "How do you sing! Can't you sing? You need to open your jaw, sink your breath into your dantian, and use your breath to drive your voice!"

"Lin Wan, why can't even you sing?" Li Xiang approached Lin Wan and heard her faint breath.

"Sorry, teacher." Lin Wan lowered her head and raised her hand to touch her throat.

"I don't care what the reason is! Since you have come to this competition, you have to work hard for me!" Li Xiang looked at Lin Wan with hatred, "You, study with Dong Cheng. Feel her breath."

"Teacher!" Jiang Xinyue said suddenly, "Let Lin Wan learn from me."

Li Xiang glanced at Jiang Xinyue: "It's fine. You are close, you can teach her."

Lin Wan lowered her head and walked up to Jiang Xinyue.She only felt a tightness in her chest, and a strong sense of sadness pressed her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Take a deep breath, wash it into your stomach, hold your breath, and let it out slowly with a sigh." Jiang Xinyue looked at Lin Wan, and said slowly, "Sing yi with me."

"Yi..." Lin Wan's voice was extremely hoarse, and she didn't use any breath, like an old woman who was dying of illness, her breath was like a thread.

Jiang Xinyue frowned, raised Lin Wan's hands, and put them on her waist.She took a deep breath, and her waist slowly puffed up. As she sang, she let out the air from her waist.

The warmth in her hands made Lin Wan tremble, and the sadness that was still pent up in her heart suddenly popped out. She lowered her head, and her eyes were covered with mist.Amidst the sounds of y and a around, Lin Wan suppressed her emotions and said, "Even you think I can't sing?"

Since the damage to the vocal cords, everyone told her - "You can't sing anymore."

"Stop singing. How about playing a role?"

"It's really not good, let her quit the entertainment circle. She can't sing anymore."

……

Tears welled up in her eyes, and her shoulders twitched uncontrollably.

"Who said you can't sing?"

Lin Wan choked up and said, "Everyone is like this..."

"I don't care what they say. Do you really think you can't sing, and you can't sing?" Jiang Xinyue's question was like a heavy hammer hitting Lin Wan's heart.

Lin Wan was taken aback for a moment, but suddenly lost his voice.

"You're just too scared, afraid that people will point fingers at your sudden change of voice, afraid that they will compare your previous songs, afraid that people who used to like your singing will suddenly hate you, just like three years ago In that way..."

"Stop it, stop it..." Lin Wan raised her head suddenly, "Stop it!"

Jiang Xinyue stared at Lin Wan, whose face was covered with tears, and was startled.

Lin Wan lowered her voice: "Yes, I'm afraid. I even resent my current voice, my current personality, and those people who have long since lost contact with me!" Tears rolled down the eyes, "I hate my life, I hate the whole world, I hate everyone..."

Jiang Xinyue hugged her tightly before she finished speaking, and she heard Jiang Xinyue's choked up voice: "Then you only like me," she paused, "OK?"

end of mermaid chapter

"Hey, what are you two doing!" Li Xiang, who had just given advice to other trainees, immediately frowned and asked when she saw Jiang Xinyue and Lin Wan hugging each other.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, Lin Wan started to have a fever last night, and just passed out suddenly." Jiang Xinyue helped Lin Wan sit down slowly, "May I let her take a rest?"

"It's uncomfortable, no wonder," Li Xiang's frown slowly eased, "Then let her rest, you get up first, and practice voice with other trainees."

Lin Wan sat outside the line, lowered her head, watching the lights and shadows changing into different shapes under the sun, and her back that was constantly throbbing gradually calmed down.

Then just like me, okay?

Jiang Xinyue's words kept circling in her mind.She wanted to say - well, I only like you.

But it's like a stick in the throat.

The voices of the trainees drifted past her ears, and her heart kept shouting—answer her, agree!Don't you like her very much?

She shook her head, and the voice in her heart changed to that of Jiang Xinyue, and the word "like" lingered for a long time.

She was in a daze for half an hour, and she didn't react until Li Xiang asked all the trainees to sit down.

Lin Wan moved her already stiff neck, twisted her numb waist, straightened her back and looked at Li Xiang.

"Has anyone thought about the mermaid's weakness?" Li Xiang nodded with satisfaction for the cooperation of the trainees just now, and her attitude eased a lot.

Ning Yichu raised her fleshy little hand: "She is a fish, and fish are afraid of the sun. Wouldn't it be better to trick her to land, or use a roaster to roast her?"

"How can it be so simple?" Dong Chengnian retorted, "Didn't you see that she wouldn't come to land at all? Even if she was looking for food, she would use the souls of some fishermen or travelers to pick it up. This is not her weakness at all. It's habit."

"You are so warm to others, why do you always hate me." Ning Yichu puffed up her cheeks aggrievedly, and muttered.

"It's not that I like you." Dong Chengnian whispered.

"What?" Ning Yichu approached her, "What did you just say?"

"Don't chatter endlessly, don't you want to be the first group of successful trainees?" Li Xiang scolded, "What else? Does anyone have any other ideas?"

"True love," Lin Qin said slowly, "Didn't it be said in the fairy tale? The mermaid gave up her tail for the prince..." Lin Qin said the well-known fairy tale with a straight face, matching the story with no ups and downs It sounds drowsy.

"We don't have boys here either," a trainee retorted, "I think we should try what Ning Yichu said. Just find someone as 'food' to lure the mermaid ashore."

Li Xiang nodded: "Ning Yichu, you come to be the bait."

Ning Yichu pointed at herself in disbelief: "Me?" She quickly waved her hand and said, "Teacher, I love to eat, but I don't want to be eaten."

"It's not that I really want to give you to those virtual things." Li Xiang glanced at her, "Dong Chengnian, you find a vine and tie Ning Yichu to her body, and you hold her so that she doesn't fall into the sea. "

After finalizing the plan to capture the mermaid, Li Xiang led the trainees to conduct simulation experiments several times. After a day, Lin Wan was always at the end of the line, while Jiang Xinyue was placed at the front of the line. The two had no chance to talk at all.

The toil of the day is only verified at dusk.A group of ten people all hid in the bushes, bent over, looking at the surging waves of the sea.No one dared to say a word, for fear of attracting the mermaid's attention.

The light of the setting sun is reflected on the sea, and the sea water surges with golden light with the ups and downs of the waves.Suddenly, a fish tail jumped out of the sea in a flash, and it disappeared in a flash.

"Teacher, was that mermaid just now?" Ning Yichu rubbed her eyes and asked blankly.

"Hush." ​​Li Xiang raised her right index finger to her lips.

Lin Wan narrowed her eyes and looked seriously at the distant ocean.The scene of being seduced by the mermaid singer last night flooded her mind again, sending a shivers down her spine.

Suddenly, her hand felt warm, and a soft thing wrapped her left hand.She turned her head subconsciously.

Jiang Xinyue appeared by her side at some point, held her hand, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

Lin Wan was about to say something when she heard Ning Yichu whisper: "Come out, come out, it's her!"

I saw a woman lying quietly on the reef not far away on the sea.Her hair floated on the sparkling sleep like seaweed, and her white porcelain skin seemed to have spots of light flowing.She opened her eyes, her long and curly eyelashes fluttered like transparent cicada wings, and her dark blue eyes were as deep and mysterious as the ocean.

Her tail is submerged in the water, slowly floating with the waves.Everyone felt that she was looking at them, and those eyes seemed to be able to attract their souls away.

Except for Lin Wan.Lin Wan always felt that the mermaid was looking at another person through them, as empty as a broken doll.

Li Xiang whispered: "Ning Yichu, hurry up, get out."

Ning Yichu hesitated for a while, was pushed by someone, staggered a few steps, and walked out of the dense forest.

Dong Chengnian lowered his voice and said angrily: "Who pushed it just now?"

Li Xiang pressed her hand: "Shh, the mermaid moved."

Dong Chengnian gritted his teeth and looked at Ning Yichu.

The mermaid looked at Ning Yichu, for a long while, there was no movement from either side.

The trainee squatting in the dense forest was bitten all over by mosquitoes, someone whispered dissatisfiedly: "Why are you still not moving?"

Lin Wan stood on the edge of her mouth, only she saw that Ning Yichu's eyes became more and more hollow, and her pupils became more and more dilated.She worried: "Teacher, let Ning Yichu come back? I don't think it's right..."

"Hush!" Li Xiang frowned, raised her right index finger to her lips.

Suddenly, Ning Yichu moved and walked slowly towards the ocean.

The mermaid hooked the corners of her lips and suddenly smiled.Her smile seemed to move all the sea water around her.A wave of water surged up in the ocean, flying straight towards Ning Yichu, quickly enveloping her and pulling her into the sea.

Dong Chengnian rushed out of the dense forest immediately, and grabbed the vine tightly, the huge pulling force made her loose quickly: "Come and help me!"

The rest of the trainees also reacted, rushed out quickly, and grabbed the vine.

"Ilikeforyoutobestill, Itisasthoughyouareabsent..." The mermaid opened her lips lightly, and the singing voice turned into wind, water, and all natural forces and rushed into the hearts of every trainee.

In an instant, except for Lin Wan, the pupils of all the trainees suddenly became dizzy, and they all let go of the strength in their hands and walked towards the ocean.

Lin Wan was startled, and hurried forward to grab Jiang Xinyue's arm: "Xinyue, Xinyue, what's wrong with you?"

As if Jiang Xinyue didn't know her, she shook off her hand, quickened her pace, and walked into the sea.

No, no, what happened?Why have you all entered the illusion?

Seeing Lin Wan's clear eyes, the mermaid's eyes suddenly changed. She sat up, looked at Lin Wan, and raised her voice.

In Lin Wan's eyes, the mermaid's whole body was on fire and gradually turned to ashes, leaving only a skeleton singing to her.

A coolness rose from his spine.To her, the melody of the piece was beautiful, but the singing was emotionless and soulless.

Jiang Xinyue had already reached the middle of the ocean, and the sea gradually submerged her knees.

Lin Wan rushed to her side and grabbed her waist: "Jiang Xinyue, wake up, wake up! I'm Lin Wan, look at me!"

But Jiang Xinyue still looked at the mermaid in the distance and kept walking forward.

The sea water had already flowed over her waist and Lin Wan's throat. She put her right hand around Jiang Xinyue's waist, turned around, and kept sliding towards the shore.

Desperation and helplessness welled up in her heart, and she said loudly, "Jiang Xinyue, wake up! If you leave this competition, what should I do?"

But Jiang Xinyue was like a puppet, staring blankly ahead without any response.

The dusk has long faded, the night is getting darker, and the sea is getting cooler.Lin Wan's nostrils were filled with seawater that kept rushing up his nostrils.A suffocation gripped her throat.

A layer of mist suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, as if she was really facing life and death.She turned her head and saw the mermaid on the reef raised her lips and smiled contemptuously.

She continued to sing, and the trainees around her were gradually submerged in the sea.

A burning pain came from Lin Wan's throat, and she screamed: "You haven't succeeded yet, I haven't entered your illusion!" She seemed to want to provoke the mermaid to stop singing.

The mermaid frowned, and continued to increase the frequency of singing, while the trainees also increased their pace.

Suddenly, the mermaid's singing touched Lin Wan's nerves like a silk thread, and she seemed to suddenly understand something.She sank into the sea, kissed Jiang Xinyue's lips, and then floated to the surface, as Jiang Xinyue had said countless times before, softly said: "Don't be afraid, wait for me."

She struggled to swim to the beach and struggled to climb onto the sand.She wiped the sea water off her face, turned around, and looked at the mermaid.

At the moment she turned around, she remembered that the manager said to herself——you can't sing anymore.

She remembered what the boss of the company said—you should take a rest for a while, and don't come to the company anymore.

I remembered the message from a netizen - what to sing with a broken voice?Like a duck, go to hell!

eye

Tears welled up in her eyes, she took a deep breath and hummed a melody.

The mermaid was taken aback, the melody Lin Wan hummed was the song she sang just now.She didn't expect that the song she sang only twice could be remembered by Lin Wan.

Lin Wan clenched her fists, looked at Jiang Xinyue who was slowly walking into the ocean, and said, "Ilikeforyoutobestill.

I like that you are still, as if you are far away.

You sound like you're moaning, a butterfly cooing like a dove.

You hear me from afar, my voice cannot reach you.

Memories flooded in like a flood, and for some reason, all she could think of was Jiang Xinyue.

She thought of Jiang Xinyue's smile, of her hiding her own candy, of her writing her name on the palm of her hand, of her saying—then only like me, okay?

Mermaid's strengths are her weaknesses, just like Lin Wan used to love music so much, but was also fettered by music.Now her vocal chords are damaged, she doesn't have a beautiful tone, and she no longer has gorgeous skills.All embellishment was gone, and her emotion, all her soul, was conveyed through the song.

I only hope, I only pray, that my voice can reach the bottom of your heart and touch the soul of my lover.

Not to be outdone, the mermaid raised her voice.

Lin Wan sang slowly, all the trainees stopped, turned around, and walked towards Lin Wan.

As if wrestling with Lin Wan, the mermaid kept raising its pitch and speeding up its rhythm.

But Lin Wan was immersed in the music, and her gaze was fixed on Jiang Xinyue.Low and slow to tell her feelings, her thoughts.

She gradually lost her strength. Except for Jiang Xinyue, all the trainees had already returned to the beach.

The mermaid's strength seemed to never run out, and she kept singing.

Lin Wan's feet softened, and she knelt on the beach. She looked into Jiang Xinyue's empty eyes, and said with all her strength, "Jiang Xinyue! I promise you, I promise you when you come back..." Her voice was hoarse , like a dying person buried in the sea of ​​sand.

Her voice gradually weakened, exhaustion enveloped her whole body: "I promise you..."

In the whole world, I only like you alone, okay?

love you

Jiang Xinyue was the only one left in her eyes, everything around her seemed to be blurred, and she couldn't see anything clearly.The voice of the mermaid, the suspicious voices of other trainees, and the surprised voice of the teacher all faded away, leaving only Jiang Xinyue's face.

Her slack eyes gradually became clear, and a blush appeared on her pale face. Her eyes reflected Lin Wan who was lying on the ground. After a second of daze, she immediately ran to Lin Wan: "Lin Wan, How are you? Are you injured?" She anxiously helped Lin Wan up and looked up and down, her hands trembling nervously.

Lin Wan hugged her tightly and buried her on her shoulder, unable to speak for a long time.

Jiang Xinyue was startled, and hugged her back.

Pd's voice echoed throughout the virtual world: "Teacher Li Xiang's group is the first to conquer the mermaid level, and all team members will get extra rewards in the next level."

Lin Wan grabbed Jiang Xinyue's clothes tightly, choked up and said, "I thought you were going to die."

"Fool, how can I die so easily?" Jiang Xinyue stroked her head, "Besides, this is just a VR world. Even if I leave, I will always be by your side."

"Even if it's VR, I won't let you die!" Lin Wan raised her voice and suppressed her voice, "No matter where you are, you must be well."

Jiang Xinyue smiled suddenly: "Okay, no matter where it is, everything is fine."

The other trainees who woke up immediately gathered around to thank her after learning that it was Lin Wan who broke the level. Ning Yichu raised his arms and hugged Lin Wan's hand like a little squirrel holding a pine cone: "Senior Lin Wan! , I just saw your performance in the netizen message area, you are so cool!"

"Senior Lin Wan, why haven't you been tempted by the mermaid?" Dong Chengnian sat cross-legged beside Ning Yichu, looking at Lin Wan with sparkling eyes like a student full of thirst for knowledge.

Lin Wan raised her hand and touched her head: "I don't know, I just think that the songs she sang are not very emotional, and I don't feel what she wants to express." She quickly added, "I guess I was wrong. , everyone, don't look at me like that." A faint blush appeared on her face, and she turned her head in embarrassment.

"That's right," the voice of pd came from the air, "The mermaid represents the desire in your heart and is a symbol of 'temptation'. Once your desire for something exceeds the range that your heart can bear, you will react To be controlled and exploited by something like this."

"No wonder!" Ning Yichu suddenly realized, "The mermaid I saw was Wang Chongchong!"

"Wang Chongchong?" Dong Chengnian clenched his fists, "Who is she?"

"You don't even know? There is a very famous auspicious duck on Weibo, named Wang Chongchong! She will bless all the girls in the world to eat delicious food every day!"

Hearing this sentence, the trainees around couldn't help laughing out loud.

The mermaid's face turned into a duck's face, which is funny no matter how you think about it.

"Who is the mermaid you saw?" Jiang Xinyue sat beside Lin Wan on her knees and asked in a low voice.

"It's you." Lin Wan said softly, "It was you last time. Didn't I tell you?"

Jiang Xinyue looked away: "So you weren't tempted by me?"

Lin Wan was startled, and laughed as if hearing something similar, and said after a while, "How could I be seduced by the desires and illusions in my heart?" She turned her head and saw Jiang Xinyue whose face was sinking little by little, " My temptation is always by my side, I can reach out and grab it."

She raised her hand, covered Jiang Xinyue's hand beside her, and slowly clasped it tightly. Pd was still talking, but Lin Wan couldn't hear anything, she could only feel the beating of her heart and her rapid breathing.

In the distance, fireworks were set off over the ocean, and clusters of them bloomed in the air in an instant, and finally fell asleep in the ocean.The colorful light reflected in Lin Wan's eyes: "You are by my side, and I will always see only you." How could I trust other people like you?

Jiang Xinyue was startled, her eyes suddenly turned red, she looked away: "I always feel very uneasy."

Lin Wan looked at her suspiciously, but she didn't speak.

She has been afraid all the time, afraid that all this is just a game, a dream, and she will never be able to touch Lin Wan's hand.She could instantly tell that the mermaid was not Lin Wan, but she couldn't pull away when it was singing, because Lin Wan was always the desire and temptation in her heart, and once the mermaid caught her weakness, she couldn't get away.

She is still not firm enough to think that Lin Wan likes her too.

"Don't you blame me?" Jiang Xinyue showed her uneasiness and fear for the first time. She looked at Lin Wan helplessly, "During my third year in high school, I was the one who led you to be hacked by the whole Internet. If you It's not because you saved me, maybe you just..."

At that time, Lin Wan was hacked by the whole Internet, and no one knew. After seeing the news at school, Jiang Xinyue ran out of the classroom frantically. She didn't know how many red lights she ran, and how many people she bumped into. Everything seemed to have turned into a black and white silent film, and nothing could be seen.

She stood by the side of the road, weeping and telling the truth, recorded it as a video, and released it website by website.The group of violent people had been following her before, and when they learned that no one was protecting her, they burned her hair and clothes with a lighter, and pushed her down the well. If there was no disgusting smelly water in the well, maybe she is already dead.

When she woke up, the whole news had already fermented. Lying on the hospital bed, she could only move one hand.She re-recorded the video, found a website and posted the video as she did on the road last time, and answered her seriously and patiently when she found someone who scolded Lin Wan.

During that time, she didn't know how many posts she posted, and she didn't know how many Weibo big Vs she asked, but all of them were useless.She was deleted as many times as she posted. Most of the black fans she replied insulted her family with vicious words, and even revealed her background with human flesh. Some crazy fans came to the hospital to warn her.

While in the hospital, she gave newspaper interviews, but soon her reports were drowned out by more reports hurting Lin Wan.Many people said that she was the one Lin Wan hired to clean up her crimes.

She was helpless and even more powerless. She even decided to jump off the hospital roof to prove Lin Wan's innocence, but she was stopped by the railing on the third floor and finally landed on a tree branch.

When she woke up, in the desperate eyes of her parents, she finally understood that nothing was useless.Mass violence is like an executioner, regardless of your innocence.

"Even without you, there will be a second moon and a third moon, and according to my character at the time, one day, I will still repeat what happened back then. What Heizi needs is just an opportunity, and you are just A tiny opportunity that couldn't be more tiny," she pinched her thumb and index finger together in her left hand, "for them, this important opportunity is when I will collapse."

"Now I will never collapse," she smiled, "Because with you by my side, I am not afraid of anything."

Lin Wan's brows and eyes slowly opened, and the splendor of the fireworks shone on her face, casting flickering light and shadows: "It is my luck in this life to meet you."

Thank you for meeting you, thank you for having you, thank you for making me fall in love with you.

never let go

"Aren't you worried?" Lin Wan looked at Jiang Xinyue, "I'm not popular at all now, and I'll even take your popularity, even though the company put the black material in the past
