Wave after wave of cheers came from behind Vivi. The unlucky man who spoke rudely to him must have been beaten to the ground by the impulsive Ren Jie!
But no matter how lively the outside world is, her world is still dark and isolated.
She was groping and wanted to leave here quickly, not wanting to face the many 'fans' in the awkward posture of a disabled person.
As a result, she walked in a hurry, and her high heels accidentally got caught on the thin threads on the stage. Her center of gravity suddenly became unstable and she fell straight down.
It was painful to fall off the hard stage, but Vivi gritted her teeth and didn't make any sound because she didn't want to attract anyone's attention, let alone win anyone's sympathy.
Many people don't know that "sympathy" is actually a kind of harm to a person with a physical disability.
"Ah, look, vivi has fallen!!"
A boy in the crowd pointed at Vivi who fell to the ground and said loudly.
Then, many people shifted their focus from the man who was beaten to the ground to Rao Mengyu who fell to the ground.
Vivi could clearly hear everyone pointing at her and talking about her. Although they didn't insult her, the pity tone made her really uncomfortable.
"Oh, how pitiful, vivi is so pitiful!!"
"Is she really invisible? I always thought she could. No wonder she only sings one song at a time. It turns out she is afraid of revealing her secrets!!"
"Look at the way she fell to the ground. She is really pitiful! How could she be blind with such beautiful eyes?"
...
Rumors can kill a person, and criticism can also destroy a person.
Vivi fumbled awkwardly and tried to stand up, but her shoes were entangled in the straps and she couldn't break free.
She couldn't see anything, she could only reach out and pull at random. She had never been so helpless, and she had never been so embarrassed.
Unknowingly, tears flowed down at that moment.
Fortunately, the light was not so bright, which could hide her tears of shame.
"Let me help you!"
A girl's voice suddenly came from above her head. Vivi felt it was familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember who it was.
no, I can not.
Vivi comforted herself and said: She should just be an ordinary girl who comes to the bar to have fun!
In the past, she had already been buried in prison, but now she just wants to find a corner where no one knows her and start her life again.
"It seems that the heel of the shoe is caught in the strap. Let me help you untie it!"
The girl knelt down and kindly helped Rao Mengyu.
For some reason, this girl's voice gave Rao Mengyu an endless sense of stability.
That faint voice seemed to be that of an old friend she was once very familiar with. It didn't have too many words or sympathy to comfort her, but it could make her open her heart.
"Thank you!"
From the time she lost her sight to the present, as a sensitive "disabled person", it was the first time for Vivi to accept help from a stranger so calmly.
The girl didn't say much. She carefully untied the straps that wrapped around the heels, with a serious expression as if she was completing a scientific research project.
"Okay, let me help you up!"
The girl still helped Rao Mengyu up from the ground with her calm tone.
With the help of this girl, Rao Mengyu stood up again.
Although she couldn't see it, she could imagine the way everyone looked at her and discussed her in low voices.
Suddenly she wasn't so scared, nor was she so inferior.
"Yes, everyone has seen that I am indeed blind!"
Vivi opened her unfocused eyes, shrugged calmly towards everyone, and said this.
Ren Jie stopped his fist, let go of the man who just insulted Vivi, and looked at the woman in surprise.
"vivi...you..."
"I'm sorry for deceiving everyone for so long!"
After Vivi finished speaking, she bowed deeply toward the stage as a kind of apology.
Then she whispered for help to the girl next to her who had just helped her up: "Can you help me leave from the backstage? Please."
She is a woman who is not good at sensationalism, so there is only so much she can say.
As for whether anyone would want to hear her sing again in the future, she no longer cared so much.
"sure!"
The girl nodded in agreement.
The two left silently from the backstage, with a round of applause behind them.
Someone in the crowd yelled.
"vivi, you will always be our queen and we will always support you!!"
Then many people shouted together: "We will always support you, our queen, our queen..."
It was a very warm and touching scene, but Vivi never turned around and responded, because at this moment, tears of emotion had already covered her face.
A breeze blew in front of me, and I suddenly felt extremely relieved and happy.
After leaving the bar, she was no longer vivi, let alone queenv, but Rao Mengyu, whom no one knew!
"Phew, thank you, that's it!"
Rao Mengyu breathed a long sigh of relief and said to the girl beside her who helped her out.
"Where do you live? I'll take you home!"
"No need, I know the road from here to my house very well, I can find it with my eyes closed!"
Because of Ren Jie's tireless help, Rao Mengyu has memorized the route from home to work.
If she puts on sunglasses, she is actually no different from a normal person.
It's just that others are looking at the road with their eyes, but she is looking at it with her heart.
"It's okay, I... I'm bored anyway, so you can just keep me company as a thank you!"
The girl said in a carefree tone, but her voice was choked with sobs that could not be hidden.
"this......"
Rao Mengyu fell into hesitation.
"Please, please, I'm bored alone!"
Although she knew Rao Mengyu couldn't see it, the girl still clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly.
"Oh well!"
Rao Mengyu thought for a while and found that there was really no reason to refuse, so she agreed.
From the beginning to now, whether it is the girl's voice or her words, Rao Mengyu feels extremely familiar.
"I think...I should get to know you!"
They were walking side by side, and suddenly Rao Mengyu said this.
The girl next to him was stunned, and then denied it in a panic.
"How is that possible? This is my first time here and my first time hearing you sing!"
"I don't know, don't laugh at me, I think you look like a friend of mine!"
The figure of her former friend Jiang Peipei appeared in Rao Mengyu's mind, but this guess was quickly rejected by her.
It was a heartbreaking figure with a regrettable story.
how can that be possible?
Peipei must hate her so much now. How could he appear in front of her? Even if he wants to daydream, he can't do it so unrealistically!
"friend?"
The girl next to him stopped, with a complicated expression on her face.
"Yes, my best friend and my only friend."
Rao Mengyu smiled softly, and then sighed longly: "It's a pity... I think she may never forgive me."
"Also...maybe not necessarily?!"
"Definitely. I know her. She is a girl with strong self-esteem and passionate feelings. I have hurt her deeply and she will not forgive me!"
"You know her well..."
She didn't know whether this was a question or an emotion, but Rao Mengyu suddenly felt that the atmosphere was strange.
She frowned and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this to you!"
After all, they were still strangers, but the girl's aura made her unable to be defensive, and she actually said everything without knowing it.
"It doesn't matter, I...I don't mind, I'd love to get to know you!"
The girl held back her sobs and pretended to be grand.
"Thank you, I also hope to become friends with you..."
After Rao Mengyu finished speaking, she paused again and said, "If you don't mind that I am blind."
"No, I don't mind, of course I don't mind."
The girl said quickly.
What about blind people? Apart from being blind, they are no different from other people. They are even much better than many normal people.
"But, I can take the liberty to ask you, your eyes..."
How could she become like this?
In her memory, those beautiful eyes were the most beautiful thing about her, but how could she suddenly...
This is Rao Mengyu's untouchable wound. Ren Jie once asked her about it, but she refused to answer.
But today she was willing to reveal her past to a stranger.
She took a deep breath and said: "This is a long, long story..."
"It's okay, the most important thing I lack is time."
The girl held Rao Mengyu's hand and said, "Since we want to be friends, we should understand each other!"
"Well, if you have enough patience, I am willing to tell you my story."
There are so many secrets hidden in my heart that I thought I could forget, but they have already been engraved in my heart.
In this case, it is better to share it generously. If nothing else, her life can at least be used as a negative teaching material to achieve the effect of warning the world.
"There once was a girl who had a bad background and was an illegitimate daughter..."
Long stories, long shadows, they talked as they walked.
From the subway to the winding alleys, this is the journey that Rao Mengyu has to go through every day. It always felt so long in the past, but somehow it came very quickly today.
She stopped and said with some regret: "The story hasn't been finished yet, but I'm home..."
