The breeze was blowing, and the lake was wrinkled in circles. At the same time, the willows on the dam were lightly placed with willow branches, which finally brought a touch of coolness. The heavy rain last night did not make the hot weather any better, and the afternoon sun was still strong. The hoarse cicadas were constantly chirping, which made people a little nervous, but these did not affect the enthusiasm of people who came to the West Lake to travel.
"This dam was built by the famous Chinese poet Su Shi in the past 1,000 years-according to the custom of Western names, he may be called Shi·Dongpo·Su-but we came too late, you must know that the spring dawn on Su Causeway is one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. One!" Angela explained while walking along the gravel path, but when she turned her head, she found that Natalie was a little absent-minded.
"What's wrong?" The girl reached out and waved in front of her, "What are you thinking?"
"What? Oh, it seems that your song is still playing over there." Natalie, who had reacted, concealed and pointed to a random direction.
"Okay, I'll send them a lawyer's letter when I get back to the United States." Angela said jokingly.
During this trip, I heard a lot of foreign songs playing in the store, and Angela’s also had a lot of them, but the most popular ones were dance music or rock, such as “God is a Girl”, “Front” or “Skater Girl”, of course, "If you fell my Love", which begins with Peking Opera, is not rare, but just like the previous life, these are basically pirated tapes!
But the girl didn't care much, or could only say that she didn't care. She had heard about piracy in her previous life, and she was not ignorant of the situation of piracy in China, so after Natalie found out, she suggested that she send a lawyer's letter to negotiate, She asked back: Who should I send it to? So I can only leave it alone, but this has greatly reduced Natalie's impression of China.
But just now at Su Di's side, it was rare to hear a group of young men and women playing her "Peacock Flying South East". Some of them were still carrying guitars, and they seemed to be music lovers, so Natalie pulled over to shield her.
"Really? Do you want to ask their names and addresses? If you feel embarrassed, how about letting Ryan go?" Natalie was also joking, but looked at Angela without blinking. , seems to want to see something.
But Angela still avoided her gaze and looked at the wide West Lake. The girl did not dare to face Natalie. Even when she woke up in the morning, she could still see the bruises on her body and the tears in the corners of her eyes. .
last night. Angela's request can only be described as crazy. At the beginning, there was a little gentleness, but then it was replaced by roughness. She was like a different person, wreaking havoc on Natalie's carcass again and again. , as if she was raping her, she could hear Natalie's low-pitched screams, but the sadness, helplessness, confusion and madness in her heart made her unable to stop all this, until it was almost dawn, she was exhausted and hugged. Natalie, who was also tired, fell asleep.
After three poles in the sun again, the two girls woke up slowly, but even when they woke up, they still kept their previous postures and did not speak or move until Pu Guanshui called.
Whether it was getting up or having lunch, the two of them tacitly did not mention it, as if it had never happened. Angela proposed to visit Sudi, and Natalie agreed with a smile, she looked calm, but she didn't dare to look her in the eyes again.
Is this the price? The girl looked at the lake in a trance, her heart was empty, and finally she was no longer afraid, no longer crazy, no longer at a loss, but... But it hurt Natalie, why did I do this
I really want to lie down at the bottom of the West Lake and never get up... This idea keeps popping up. I have had similar thoughts before, and the girl has always laughed at it, but this time it seems to have a different attraction, because... That I really Did it exist? Do I really exist now? Will I suddenly wake up one day, and I will become the original me again? !
This sudden question grabbed the girl like a nightmare, causing her thoughts to become confused again, until Natalie's voice came from her side: "Angie!"
"What's wrong?" Angela shivered slightly, and finally came to her senses. After taking a breath, although she was still looking at the vast lake, she couldn't help but glanced at Natalie beside her.
"If possible, I would like to ask why you were so excited last night. You said so much, but I didn't understand a word," Natalie's voice was soft but firm, "You know, I I don't understand Chinese, so... Except for the last sentence, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about."
The wry smile was fleeting, but she still continued seriously: "If it were any other time, I wouldn't inquire about your privacy, but now we are in a strange country, and if something happens, it will be troublesome, You can tell me if you want, I think it might be better for you if someone could share your worries for you."
A burst of warmth flowed through the atrium, as if a ray of light had been cast in the darkness, Angela turned her head slowly, and met her bright brown eyes, without the slightest emotion, only a deep concern. .
"I'm sorry." Angela said this.
Natalie was silent for a while, still smiling: "It doesn't matter, I think I... can feel your pain, I don't know why, but I can really feel it, I deeply feel that it was like this 4 years ago, and 4 years later... also in this way!"
Angela looked at her fixedly, her eyes suddenly became a little flowery, and the corners of Natalie's mouth, eyebrows, face, and the small mole on her face seemed to overlap with something!
After a long time, she came out with an earth-shattering sentence: "Will you be my girlfriend, Nat?"
Natalie looked at Angela with her mouth open a little bewildered. She never thought that the girl would suddenly make such a request, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
She wanted to refuse for the first time, but she couldn't say what she said. She really didn't know how Angela would react if she refused.
I'm not gay, am I? Natalie said to herself in her heart, the physical relationship was forced twice, wasn't it? Facing the out-of-control girl last night, she didn't turn around and walk away because as a friend, she couldn't bear to see her in pain, didn't she
But is it really so? This time Natalie is confused, is it really just a friend? And... What kind of trouble did Angela get into to become like this? How serious is she in what she said
Time passed by, but the two girls stared at each other without any movement, until an English accent with a strange accent rang out: "Excuse me, excuse me."
The two of them were a little surprised, and they looked to the side. I don't know when, a young Chinese man, less than 20 years old, looked at Angela nervously with a shy smile: "Excuse me... you Is that Miss Angela Mason?"
Angela was obviously a little surprised, looked at Natalie and then at the man, and said jokingly, "It's surprising, I didn't know anyone here knew me."
Natalie, who was relieved, quickly answered: "It's not surprising, you've all sung Chinese songs, it's normal to have Chinese fans."
"So, you're really Miss Mason?!" The boy was overjoyed and seemed to be looking for something to sign, while Angela smiled and said something in Chinese. After staying for a while, the other party was even more happy. He waved and said something to the crowd standing on the other side of the woods, and then a large group of men and women filled with excitement and surprise.
Only then did Natalie discover that these people were the same people who played "The Peacock Flying Southeast" over there just now? Although it was not easy for her to distinguish the appearance of Chinese people, she recognized it from the clothes and the guitar on her back.
Most of them were around 20 years old, and there were 8 people in total. When they came over, they surrounded Angela in the middle, as if the stars were holding the moon. Other tourists looked sideways.
Although the girl kept smiling and fulfilled their demands, the smile was always lacking compared to before - Natalie could see it clearly, but she was a little helpless. The previous questions were still circling in her mind, and she didn't know how to answer them. .
At this time, Angela greeted and said something, and then sat down on the chair by the lake. The young men and women followed, and they sat on the ground when there was no place to sit.
Natalie quietly walked to the periphery. When Angela set her eyes on her, she shook her head with a smile and gestured to tell the girl to leave her alone. Then she pulled Pu Guanshui over and asked him to translate them for herself. dialogue.
It turned out that this was a group of students from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. They used the weekend to travel to West Lake. As a college student in Shanghai, they were still studying music. Naturally, they knew more about the European and American pop music scene. Among them were Angela’s fans who didn’t know Angela. I was also traveling in West Lake, but when Natalie was discussing with the girl about where to play her songs, a student who was good in English happened to hear it, but he didn't dare to confirm it, so he went back to discuss with his classmates. Just came over to ask tentatively, and it turned out to be Angela, so there was what happened just now.
"They asked if the lady is really only 16 years old... and why she speaks Chinese so well, and also knows the allusions of "The Peacock Flying Southeast"..." Pu Guanshui was translating for Natalie in a low voice, when a girl suddenly He asked: "Angela, you said that you know a lot of ancient Chinese stories. Is it possible to create some Chinese songs like "The Peacock Flying Southeast" because of this?"
The girl was slightly startled, and Natalie, who had been paying attention to her, noticed a glint in her eyes, as if thinking of something.
"Of course there is," the girl said with a smile. "Actually, I have written another song for a certain story before. I thought maybe I could sing it again. Please advise."
Hearing that the idol was going to sing live, everyone immediately applauded. The quick hand had already handed over a guitar. After the girl took it over and tried the sound, she took a hidden, deep look at Natalie on the outside. , Natalie felt that the gaze hit her heart directly like magic, making her breathe a lot faster.
"What I made into a song is the love story of a white fox more than a thousand years ago..."
