Chapter 80: Who would follow someone like that?
The doll looked up at Yamamoto Yurina, who was sitting by the stage waiting for the performance to end and preparing to go on stage. He stared at the princess shoes on her feet and asked, "Girlfriend?"
"No."
"younger sister?"
"No blood relationship."
"I understand." The humanoid Jing smiled politely again, sat back and stopped talking.
Utsunomiya Shuo turned his head, glanced at him lightly, and said nothing.
……
Soon it was time for substitutions.
To his surprise, whether or not to perform was entirely up to the guests themselves. If they wanted to perform, they could just go on stage. It was not necessary to go on stage.
This made Zhuo feel relieved.
Yurina was in charge of warming up the audience during the handover time, telling some polite jokes. Everyone was very happy and the atmosphere was very lively.
But the humanoid figure didn't smile at all. He just sat there quietly like a puppet, watching quietly, as if he was a bystander.
After a long while, when no one came up, the humanoid figure stood up and bowed to him with a smile.
Utsunomiya Shuo tactfully gave up his seat.
The humanoid figure walked past him.
Thirty seconds later, the hall turned black again.
This time the stage was not illuminated by a spotlight. Only a single sky lantern was dimly lit. The light was dark red, as rich as blood.
The human figure knelt in the center of the stage in some invisible posture, and the black and white maid's long skirt bloomed around her like a blooming lotus.
He was holding a red umbrella in his hand, facing the audience, and slowly turned around.
His eyes, which were seriously inconsistent with his facial features, lit up in an instant, as if he saw his most beloved person in the crowd... It was so vivid, as if the eyes were about to burst out.
The humanoid stood up in a hurry, brushed the dust off the hem of her skirt, and smoothed her straight hair, her technique as gentle as a baby bird combing its feathers... Then her expression changed from a little tired and hopeless at the beginning to become refreshed in the eyes of everyone, with a hint of charm flowing between her brows and her eyes seeming to be shining.
The whole process was without any sound or dialogue, but it seemed like the most magical scene in the world.
Ningyo Jing showed the mental journey of a young girl just by looking at her.
Just like a master artist painting a statue, you sit there and watch, feeling the passage of time, and your mood changes like the white clouds in the sky.
This is not over yet,
Then, the human-shaped figure threw away the red umbrella, and the blood-like color completely enveloped him. His eyelids seemed to be filled with red shadows, which made people feel that it was caused by the fact that he lowered his head slightly.
He became more like a girl, a charming girl.
More delicate and gorgeous, he is blooming.
But it looks a bit depressing.
The figure spun around with the hem of his skirt swinging. His carefully styled hair became messy, and his steps became a little untidy, as if he might fall at any time... But he didn't care and just spun around.
Utsunomiya Shuo glanced at the edge of the stage and was also stunned by Yamamoto Yurina.
He didn't understand why such a depressing program was arranged at such a happy gathering. Christmas should be a holiday for everyone to be happy and to brag and chat together... Well, I know that those of you who have girlfriends will definitely get a room.
But this kind of program is obviously inappropriate, right?
The human-shaped Jing now is like a madman who has just broken up with love, not caring about anything anymore. He is both evil and beautiful, with a spooky ghostly aura.
But should he say it or not... Zhuo is uneducated, and cannot make comments like "the viewers are as depressed as the mountains, and the heaven and earth are rising and falling for a long time", so he cannot understand the beauty of the literary giant's words.
He only had two words:
"You're awesome."
……
After the performance, the human figure Jing undoubtedly became the center of attention among the guests. Both men and women... even the young and old, but this time there was no condition... all gathered around him.
The female students rushed to get close to her, and the boys also tried to touch her.
The human figure always had a faint but not rude smile on his face as he calmly walked among them, keeping a distance from them without leaving a trace but without making them feel alienated.
You can tell at first glance that he is an old hand in the world of flowers.
In the same situation, Zhuo would never be able to do it. If he were in his place, he wouldn't dare to say anything else, and the conversation would definitely die within three sentences.
Look at it, it’s only been a short while and they’ve already hugged each other! …There was a shy girl who was being taken care of by the human-shaped net. She stood at the end of the team and stole glances at the human-shaped net, thinking that her sight was very concealed.
Now the figure was kneeling on the floor of the stage, providing a knee pillow for the girl.
The girl seemed to put her entire weight on her head, leaning on the human-shaped net's legs, looking up at the ceiling and the human-shaped net's face, looking happy and satisfied.
That person was Yurina's friend, the girl with twin ponytails who was good at playing the saxophone.
"…Is everyone making out like this now?"
Yurina, looking somewhat tired, sat down on the sofa, without any trace of her previous gracefulness.
"Don't forget those people who are shedding tears of blood." Zhuo complained expressionlessly.
How could it be possible that everyone was like this? He was born 17 years ago, how could he not have experienced it? Since he had not experienced it, it meant that this thing did not exist at all! Right! It was impossible! Everyone must have experienced it with family, friends, or alone.
"Why does everyone want to fall in love so much?" Yurina leaned back in her chair, like an old grandfather in the park.
"Don't tell me, I don't know." Zhuo was still looking at the crowd.
"I think that's because you're a weirdo, and Utsunomiya Shuu doesn't like Earthlings... or something."
"Shut up."
"Everyone is always restless during this kind of festival, especially single men. I heard that a lot of people went to the "Queen" to invite her to spend Christmas together, but they were all rejected outright. The bodies piled up like a mountain."
"Oh."
Although Zhuo also calls Ling a similar title in his heart, it is the more authoritative "Your Highness the Princess" rather than the childish title "Ice Queen"... Of course, this title is also very appropriate.
He had just parted ways with Ling two hours ago, and he didn't know where Ling was now.
Maybe I will spend Christmas with Su Enxi and the others.
"The desperate expressions on the boys' faces were really exaggerated. It was a pity that you were not there. I almost couldn't help laughing."
"Hahaha."
Zhuo laughed dryly without any emotion.
In fact, he should be considered one of them...but he just asked casually out of kindness and didn't care if he was rejected.
Utsunomiya Shuo glanced at her and said, "You are not much better yourself."
There are definitely more boys who want to spend Christmas with Yurina than a few, maybe even more... It's not that she is prettier than Zero, it's mainly because of her personality. Zero must be determined to die before he can invite her, but here you can still try your luck.
Yurina stuck out her tongue lazily and said, "Who would just go with someone like that~"
