Chapter 8 The Weak Butterfly

During the break, I walked to the end of the corridor, sat on the windowsill, and opened Loulanxue's phone. After the phone rang three or four times, Loulanxue answered the phone, "Hey, is it on the set or at school?"

Loulanxue's voice sounded very calm, as if nothing had happened. But I could hear from her voice that her feelings at this time were probably even more serious than I thought. Loulanxue looked very quiet at first, but those who had known her for a long time knew that this was not the case. Her bones were filled with endless enthusiasm. Even the voice of her speech always felt like she was active and jumping. However, today her voice was very quiet, like the chirping of a tired swan. It was no wonder that I could not help but feel a little surprised in my ears.

"In school." I said.

"Oh." said Loulanxue.

For about twenty seconds, neither of us spoke, and we could only hear each other's gentle gasps on the phone. If it were normal, Loulanxue would definitely say, "You're going to die. If you're full, you're fine to pay me for your phone bill?"

But today she didn't say a word, just gasping quietly on the other end of the phone.

Twenty seconds later, I still talked first, and I asked her, "When was it?"

Loulanxue on the other side of the phone waited for a while, and then replied: "It's been a while."

"Why don't you tell me?" I asked again.

"I think you are very busy now and don't want to disturb you..." At this point, Loulanxue paused again, "and telling you if it's meaningful, it just makes you annoyed."

I blinked and asked, "Where are you now? How about we meet at noon? I haven't seen you for a long time."

"No need, I want to be alone now." Loulanxue said, smiling desolately, "Aqi, can you not follow such clichés? The high-sounding comfort words mean nothing."

I leaned my head against the window frame, looked at the blue sky above my head, and said, "If this happens, then let's talk on the phone, how about it?"

Loulanxue answered very simply, "Okay, but what should I say?"

Loulanxue's voice was not deliberately sad, but maintained a restraint from beginning to end. She tried her best to make her voice appear calm. However, for me, her calmness made me feel more sad than sad. However, since Loulanxue was restraining, I could not let my emotions come out. So I took the phone away, shook my head vigorously, and said in the easiest tone I could: "Whatever you want, say something that makes you happy."

"Happy things? Let me think about it." Loulanxue tsk, "It's really a lot. When I went to the restaurant for dinner yesterday, I won five dollars in the invoice. Last week I went to the mall and saw my favorite clothes suddenly discounted. Well, the day before yesterday, a junior high school classmate who hadn't seen for a long time called me..."

Loulanxue was like a very old man who told a young man about her deeds when she was young, and said every little thing she had experienced in the past half month. And I didn't say anything, just held the phone and listened silently.

After about seven or eight minutes like this, Loulanxue finished all the things he remembered, so he suddenly asked, "Hey, Aqi, are you still on the other side of the phone?"

"Of course, I've been there."

"You must have felt bored if I said just now, right?" Loulanxue said on the phone.

I shook my head on the phone, "No, it's very interesting."

"When did you become so hypocritical?" Loulanxue smiled on the phone, "It's obviously all very boring things."

Just as he was talking about this, the class bell rang, and Loulanxue said, "Are you in class? Why did I hear the class bell?"

I shook my head at Zhang Sheng who was standing not far away, then slowly walked to the corner, walked downstairs, and said as I walked: "No, I just stood on the side of the teaching building."

Loulanxue said "Oh" and then suddenly asked, "Aqi, tell me a story, okay?"

"Tell a story?" I raised my head and blinked, "Okay, what story do you want to hear?"

"Whatever, just be a happy story."

"Oh, then let me think about it." I said, scratching my head and starting to think of the story. But after thinking for a while, I didn't know what story to tell. It was not that there was no story in my head, but that I couldn't think of a story that could reverse the current atmosphere.

As a result, after waiting for a while, Loulanxue became impatient and said, "Oh, forget it, I haven't figured it out after thinking for so long, so I won't listen. I'll ask you, great talent, do you like to read Zhang Ailing's articles?"

"Fortunately, I didn't read a lot." I answered honestly.

Loulanxue asked again: "Then she has a very short essay called "Love". Have you read it?"

I shook my head and replied, "No."

"You are still a talented man. Have you never read such a good essay?" Loulanxue said, walking around, "Wait a minute, I'll come here to read it for you."

Before I could do it, there was a rustling sound of flipping through books from Loulanxue's phone. Not long after, I heard her say, "Ha, I found it, a very good article. I have read it many times these days. You have to listen carefully."

"Okay." I said, sitting on the stairs on the second and third floors, "It's very quiet here, you can read it."

"Hmm." Loulanxue cleared her throat, and then read it seriously just like she usually hosts a program, "This is true... There is a girl from a well-off family in a village. She was beautiful and many people came to serve as a matchmaker, but she didn't say it. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old that year. It was a spring night, and she stood at the back door, holding the peach tree with her hands. She remembered that she was wearing a moon-white lining. The young man living opposite the door had met her, but he had never greeted her. He left

Come over, not far away, stand still, and said softly: 'Oh, are you here too?' She didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything else. He stood for a while and walked away. It was over... Later, this woman was kidnapped by her relatives and sold to a foreign county to be a concubine. She was resold several times in Sanqiu. After countless thrilling storms, when she got old, she still remembered the past, and often said that on that spring night, under the peach tree at the back door, the young man..."

After reading this, Loulanxue paused for a long time before continuing to recite: "I met the person you are going to meet among millions of people. In the endless wilderness of time, there was no step earlier or step later. I happened to catch up, and there was nothing else to say, but I could only ask gently: 'Oh, are you here too?'"

Loulanxue's voice quieted down. After a long time, she said, "It's over, does it sound nice?"

"It sounds nice." I put my hands on my forehead, closed my eyes slightly, and said.

"'I met the person you are going to meet among millions of people. In the endless wilderness of time, there was no step earlier or step later. It happened to catch up.' I like the first half of the last sentence the most. This feeling is really beautiful, right?"

"Yes." I nodded.

After a while, Loulanxue asked me on the phone again, "Aqi, is this the feeling of love?"

I didn't know how to answer her, I was just silent on the phone, and Loulanxue asked again: "Aqi, is this the feeling of love?"

I shook my head and replied, "I don't know either."

"You can't ignore it." Loulanxue's voice suddenly seemed a little excited, "You must tell me if this is the feeling of love."

I took the phone away and took a deep breath into the air. I couldn't speak, and I had no idea what to say. It took a while before I put the phone back in my ears. At this time, I heard Loulanxue say again: "Aqi, please tell me if this is the feeling of love? I have never been in love, I have never loved someone, and I will never have the chance to love anyone again. I beg you, tell me if this feeling is the feeling of love. I really want to know, really want to know."

Loulanxue's voice choked on the phone, and even the sound began to tremble. Even through the misty radio waves, I could feel the wetness on her face at this moment.

"Axue..." When I finally controlled my emotions, Loulanxue suddenly stopped crying again. She swallowed her saliva, sniffed hard, and then said, "Aqi, don't talk. You are the most special among my friends. Don't become as cliché as others."

I could only hold my words in a stubborn manner and continue to listen to Loulanxue's words. Loulanxue swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva and smiled, "I'm sorry, I was a little sad just now. I heard people say that there will be premarital phobia when getting married, but I didn't expect that getting engaged will also have premarital phobia. Isn't it funny?"

Loulanxue said, laughing several times, but I didn't say a word.

"You must come when I get engaged. Even in the studio, you must come, do you know? I really treat you as a good friend."

"I know." I said.

"And, you are a talented man, and if you are about to be a big star, I will be very proud of you." Loulanxue said, and smiled again, "I have decided to bookmark all the big hotels in Tonghai on the day of my engagement, and also advertise in the newspapers to let everyone in the city who don't have to go to work that day. Isn't this fun?"

I didn't say anything, just listened silently.

Loulanxue continued to talk to herself, "It must be fun and it will definitely cost a lot of money. Tan Tingshan will definitely have a white face when the time comes, hahahaha."

After a while, Loulanxue suddenly asked me a strange question, "Aqi, how many women have you been sleeping with?"

I don't know why Loulanxue suddenly asked this, but I still answered truthfully: "Two or three."

"It's just two or three, so few? I thought you've been there at least a dozen or twenty, so few? But you're really young now." Loulanxue said, thinking about it for a while, and then asked, "How many times have you been to bed in total?"

I couldn't understand what Loulanxue asked about these things at this time, so I could only answer: "I don't remember it, I haven't calculated it in particular."

"That's true, that must have been many times. If you have fewer times, you will remember it." Loulanxue thought for a while, and then said, "Since you have done it so many times, you must have rich experience. But have you ever done it with a virgin?"

"No." I said.

"Ah? Why don't you do it with a virgin?" Loulanxue said with some frustration, "Don't you even know a virgin?"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I haven't encountered it." I said.

"That's right, it's hard to find a virgin now. Then let me ask you, if you meet a virgin one day, do you think with your skills, can you make her feel pain?"

"I don't know, I haven't tried it."

"You guessed it. Such things should be estimated based on experience, right?"

I was completely confused by Loulanxue, so I casually said, "I think there should be no problem."

"This is great." Loulanxue smiled happily, "Okay, that's the decision. You can go to the hotel to open a room first. Then send me a text message and give me the hotel and room number, and I'll go find you later."

"What are you doing?" I asked with a frown.

"Of course I love you." Loulanxue said indifferently, "But I agreed in advance that you must be gentler later, otherwise I will feel pain. You must wear a condom, and it is best to buy some lubricant. I will bring a bottle of wine, I need some wine, otherwise I will feel pain. Ah, you must have pornographic CDs here, right? Remember to bring them there, but I don't know if there is a DVD player in the hotel. To be on the safe side, you should take Zhang Sheng's laptop with you."

"Ah...xue!" I frowned and started shouting at the phone.

Loulanxue yelled at me, "Why are you so fierce? Are you afraid that my skills are not good? Although I have never done it, I have seen a little pornographic CD, and I still know the approximate posture. So don't worry, I won't disappoint you later."

"Don't get nervous, okay?" I sighed and said.

"You're just nervous. Since you're going to marry Tan Tingshan sooner or later, I'd rather give you a discount now." Loulanxue said, paused, and then emphasized in a solemn tone, "Aqi, don't think I'm joking, I'm serious. Although I don't love you now, I'm willing to do it with you. Because at least doing it with you won't make me feel disgusted. You must treat me well tonight."

"Axue, I beg you. Are you a little normal? Things are not that bad. There is no way out. This matter will definitely be a solution. Believe me."

"No need to think of a solution, I have figured it out. It's just a marriage, what's the big deal? The Tan family is rich and powerful, and Tan Tingshan likes me so much. If I really marry, I will definitely enjoy endless blessings. At that time, I don't have to do anything, and I can have rich clothes and food while lying down. Anyone who sees me must be respectful to me. At that time, I have plenty of spare time, hold parties every day and be the dance queen every day. Wouldn't that be great?"

"But, do you love Tan Tingshan?"

"Aqi, don't you be so vulgar? What's the point of loving or not? In the past, couples got married all of them were the orders of their parents. The words of the matchmakers also gave many examples of happiness? Feelings can be cultivated. Tan Tingshan has a good family background, a bad character, and a bad appearance. After decades of getting along, there will always be feelings."

"Don't say so much. I'll just ask you one thing. Would you like to spend your whole life with Tan Tingshan?" I said and sighed, "It's not a small holiday of three or five days, nor a long holiday of three or five weeks, but a lifetime. If you are not careful, it's sixty years, more than 20,000 days and nights, five million hours. A Xue, can you really do it?"

Loulanxue didn't say anything anymore, she was silent for the first time.

"In fact, life is like a dance party, and the companion of life is like your dance shoes. The only difference from an ordinary dance party is that this dance party will never stop, and once the dance shoes are put on, it will not be so easy to take off. A Xue, do you really think that wearing Tan Tingshan's dance shoes will finish the second half of your life?"

"I don't want to." Loulanxue's voice was as cold as ice, but it was as intense as *.

"I don't want it! I don't want it! I don't want it!"

I don't want these three. Loulanxue screamed, which was extremely harsh, but I didn't move the phone away, but pressed the phone tightly to my ears. After three hoarse screams, Loulanxue seemed like a butterfly that exhausted all her strength, and her voice was weak and weak. "If I wanted, I wouldn't be as painful as I am now, but what can I do? Tan Tingshan's father is too high and I have no strength to fight. Even my biological father is not on my side. I don't want to...I'm not willing...but what can I do? Aqi, tell me what can I do."

This is the first time I have heard Loulanxue say such weak and powerless words in so long. Her words made me finally unable to help crying together. After a long time, I took a deep breath and said, "Don't be afraid, I have a way."

"You have a way? What do you have?" Loulanxue asked lightly.

"I can't say anything now. What I can only tell you is that I have a way, I must have a way. A Xue, do you believe me?"

After a long time of silence on the other side of the phone, a soft voice rang out, "Aqi, I want to see you."
