Lu Yao now feels like a grasshopper who accidentally fell into the baking pan. She is also thinking about how to escape, but there is a scorching abyss below, and the road above is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
A dilemma, and now the "girl who just wants barbecue" has discovered this unexpected visitor, and doesn't know whether to rescue the poor thing, let her be roasted into a roasted ant full of protein aroma, or simply ignore it Out of sight, out of mind...
Lu Yao didn't know if this old friend with whom she had an awkward relationship was a little embarrassed. Anyway, she couldn't wait to turn around and run away, and she didn't know what to do due to her mentality of being 50/50 rational and 50/50 emotional.
She could only recognize that Xuanyi didn't seem to be resistant to this encounter. Maybe the situation was not as bad as she imagined in her first reaction.
But Lu Yao didn't have time to deal with this kind of encounter, and she came to this theater today not to put herself in such a situation.
Just a few days ago, someone sent a trailer for Dawn of the Dead to the police station, along with a ticket for the show.
Because this strange approach is not consistent with the past Dawn, the more mainstream view is that this is just a prank by others, rather than the real killer coming to fight. The trailer did not identify specific characters, but only informed that the murder was about to happen, so there was no way to start from the surface.
After all, this is a theater that can easily accommodate hundreds of people. From the actors on stage to the audience, there are countless people who can be targeted. The so-called trailer of the mysterious man has no beginning and no end, and is simply a template for a prank.
It is naturally impossible to mobilize a large number of police forces just for an unknown thing, but it does not mean to completely ignore it. So Lu Yao was sent over, just in time to use the only ticket. Lu Yao, who was already bored, didn't refuse anyone who came, so he naturally wandered over.
In addition to her, of course there are other people coming to investigate. During the first half, Lu Yao inquired about some news about the actors backstage and learned that there was nothing unusual, so he was about to return to the corresponding position in the auditorium to at least find out what would happen here.
But after all, she is indeed alone now...
Thinking of this, Lu Yao made up his mind.
"Are you here to see...what kind of performance is this?" She pointed in the direction of the stage and said awkwardly.
Her brain was short-circuited for a moment, and she couldn't even remember where this place was or what was written on the ticket.
Although Yu Xuanyi was confused, she did not ruin the situation and nodded hesitantly.
What else? Lu Yao could see that the girl he was facing glanced at the door of the toilet. Did she come to the theater to drink water?
Lu Yao was very upset and felt that he had not performed well just now.
"Walking and talking?"
So she turned her hand and pointed in the direction of the auditorium. In the blind spot where Xuanyi couldn't see, he used his other hand to touch his forehead. He reluctantly replaced Fengyoujing with the cold water that had not been dried on his hand, and put it on his temples, which made him feel a little clearer.
Yu Xuanyi did not refuse, and even temporarily forgot that she was here to wait for her friends who were coming with her. In fact, she is not calm either.
The two walked back to the auditorium in silence.
"Which row are you in?" Lu Yao suddenly remembered that he still had a ticket in his pocket, and was about to follow Yu Xuanyi. It's a bit risky to sit in the corresponding position according to the ticket given by someone who doesn't know the degree of danger. It's like the prey jumped into the trap by itself and is at the mercy of others, which is not in line with Lu Yao's own habits.
You can also find an excuse. If Yu Xuanyi happens to be near that location, you can also find an empty seat nearby to sit together at the opening. Lu Yao had made an observation earlier and found that only about two-thirds of the seats in the theater were occupied. It was already lively but not crowded.
"The fifth row." Yu Xuanyi still remembered her position, raised her eyes and asked casually, "Do you want to sit together? I remember there is an empty seat over there."
She was indeed a little curious about how this striking little classmate had changed after a few years.
He actually came to listen to the opera... This really didn't look like the restless gamer in Yu Xuanyi's impression. It was a bit exaggerated. Even because of her preconceptions, Lu Yao standing here made her feel inexplicably out of place.
Lu Yao nodded and followed timidly.
She finally sorted out the thoughts that were chaotic due to emotions, and by the way, she remembered the note in her hand. The image of the intact piece of paper appeared in her mind, and then the position of the seat.
...it seems to be the fifth row too? She shuddered.
Yu Xuanyi touched the edge of the chair in the darkness and reached the second seat at the end.
"Here." She sat down, looked up at Lu Yao, and put her hands on the seat beside her, "Are you sitting here? I remember seeing no one here before."
Indeed the seat next to her was empty for the entire first half.
But Lu Yao froze on the spot and grinned reluctantly.
"I'll sit here, I don't really like sitting in the aisle..."
That's what it says, but that's not the reason.
The location Yu Xuanyi pointed to was indeed the location on her ticket.
"My friend is sitting here, how about..." Yu Xuanyi didn't insist, and just halfway through her words, she originally wanted Lu Yao to sit in front or behind, but she saw that Lu Yao had already sat down. A place apart.
"I, I, I...just sit here." Lu Yao was quick-witted and blurted out before he realized that he had other options.
Of course, it's too late to regret.
Because another person rushed over from behind and intervened in their conversation.
"Why are you leaving?" Wu Guixi walked hurriedly. She only glanced at Lu Yao, who was not blocking the aisle, and sat next to Yu Xuanyi. "I have been looking for you at the door for a long time, but you have not been seen. .”
Now it’s okay, I can’t speak anymore.
Wu Guixi was pitiful and kept talking to Yu Xuanyi about her pity and helplessness after being left behind. She is worthy of being an actor with a professional background. Her acting skills can be regarded as perfect, and her voice can be so small that she can express heart-breaking emotions. A few minutes later, the second half of the opera officially began. Lu Yao, who was alone, did not take the initiative to talk to her.
But compared to before, Yu Xuanyi is really no longer interested in enjoying the opera so much. From time to time, some memories or thoughts come to mind, and she thinks of the old friend who was in an obviously embarrassing state a place away.
Do you want to talk to me later? Yu Xuanyi lowered his eyes and thought.
Wu Guixi had to rush back to the set later. The director of the set she was working on was very strict. He had to drive her there and couldn't waste time. She suddenly remembered that she still had this old friend she met by chance as an online friend, and she did not block or delete him.
Just for the last chat record, the time is already displayed in full years.
She found that friend from the pinyin list, and the note was "Occasional Wild King".
There is also a heart symbol at the back. The last conversation was an emoticon sent by her, and the rest of the chat history could not be found.
I can't help but feel a little funny when I think of the name I entered when I was younger and more fun-loving.
Times have changed, after all, it has indeed been a long time. Maybe not only herself, but also her body has undergone earth-shaking changes. Maybe it is because of this change that she comes to the opera house?
But is this guy really not so bored that he takes out his phone to play games in the middle of the game? Yu Xuanyi couldn't help but glance at the seat across from someone, and saw Lu Yao, who was looking at the stage blankly, his body upright and stiff.
It really looks like you can't see it.
But there is another thing. She already knows her online name, but does she know what happened to her recently?
Because of this doubt, Yu Xuanyi paused with her fingertips above the chat box on her mobile phone. Her heart trembled, and she quickly decided not to hesitate anymore, and just used the Wubi keyboard to enter a few words.
【Do you still remember】
Thinking about it, it seemed inappropriate, so I deleted them all with a few clicks.
【How are you doing? 】
She looked at these words and felt a little satisfied. She was ready to think about whether to add something else before sending them out.
At the same time, Lu Yao was also quite distressed. She had never been able to listen to the content of the opera, and even the judges could only distinguish two levels: "good, like the lullaby her mother sang when she was a child" or "bad, like the tooth-piercing noise made by repeated friction of knives and forks." the difference.
It is precisely because of this that she has more time to think about things in the past and how they will affect the present.
She wanted to make this friend. Her purpose before and now was very simple. In her words, that was it.
I never expected that my randomness and willfulness would cause such a big trouble. This is perhaps the most contradictory dilemma for Lu Yao, a young genius with a big heart.
The news about Yu Xuanyi has not yet been sent out, Lu Yao has not figured out what to do after the show, and the performance on stage is still going on in an orderly manner.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Just behind the auditorium, a howl of pain could be heard in the distance.
