Chapter 122 Part 2: Distortion, Regret for Life (2)
“Emotions trembling in the cold room”
“At the sharp, piercing wet blade tip”
“The moment fireworks burst into flames like smoke”
“Licking each other’s burning scars…”
The lyrics weren’t sunny or positive, but as Chu Yuanqing sang, Ji Shuzhu and Xie Qingxuan, positioned on either side of the triangular stage, slowly moved closer, dancing together in a light, almost casual ballet—like two innocent friends playing together.
This scene, combined with elements of the opening dance, symbolized Chu Yuanqing’s hopes and love, successfully dispelling the facade of sickness and allowing the two to showcase a harmonious relationship.
Chu Yuanqing sang and danced gracefully as she approached Xie Qingxuan. When she reached Xie Qingxuan, she smiled like a pure fairy, took his hand, and they danced in circles together.
Ji Shuzhu silently watched this scene, showing his inner turmoil through subtle facial expressions.
After ten seconds, the scene naturally shifted to Chu Yuanqing and Ji Shuzhu dancing together.
Xie Qingxuan stood by, watching the intimate moment between the two.
She turned towards the sky, her dress swaying as her delicate legs peeked through. Her emotions seemed conflicted as she turned back to look at the couple.
The emotions in the girl’s eyes were complex, as if she wanted to cling to past happiness, only to destroy it, but in the end, she pulled back. She turned away, shifted positions with graceful dance steps, and stood back to back with Chu Yuanqing. They twirled around each other, symbolizing the inner feelings neither of them fully understood.
As time passed, the performance on stage entered its middle part.
Xie Qingxuan’s Heart Flow erupted, engulfing the stage with invisible waves of emotion. It affected the teachers below and, through the live broadcast, drew the audience into a deep emotional state, completely immersing them in the feelings portrayed on stage.
The roles switched back and forth, intimate interactions intertwined, and the emotions on stage became more tangled, creating a twist similar to a musical drama.
The dance moves that followed kept piling up, adding more twist to the feeling.
Chu Yuanqing treats the two of them as pure friends, sometimes hugging Ji Shuzhu naturally, sometimes exchanging whispers with Xie Qingxuan by their ears, and sometimes dancing in circles with each of them. He shows a happy and joyful smile, hoping this moment can last forever.
“Gears are turning.”
“Never tired of believing in you.”
“The familiar tasks are surrounding me layer by layer.”
“Wanting to confirm with each other.”
“Only to end up deceived…”
Chu Yuanqing and Xie Qingxuan held hands, embraced, and then immediately separated. She softly sang, then let go of their hands, danced lightly, and danced together with them.
Ji Shuzhu stood with her back to the two, facing the statue in the church. She softly sang while dancing.
“The sudden ring, entangled friendship”
“Layered lies, still keeping a smile”
“If leaning on it, filled with bitter excuses”
“A rusty heart, can only gradually numb”
As the lyrics reached the final line, the overall atmosphere of the stage began to accelerate, the three of them danced with increasingly vigorous music, moving in a cycle of steps, returning to their initial positions.
Xie Qingxuan and Ji Shuzhu stood back to back.
Chu Yuanqing seemed to enter a stage of inner monologue. When the two were back to back, she danced freely and magnificently, like figure skating. Her ethereal skirt was translucent in the light, the shape of her thighs clearly defined within, continuing into beautiful legs, gracefully showcasing every curve in her movements.
Finally, the pendant lantern surged with magic, transmitting to the tips of her toes, freeing the girl from the constraints of dance skills, spinning gracefully in the air like in gymnastics, and then landing delicately to complete the performance.
At the same time, Xie Qingxuan looked back at this scene, naturally joining the dance, seemingly indulging in the joy of dancing with the other, oblivious to the fiery passion embedded in the dance, unaware of what kind of realization it harbored.
On the other side, Ji Shuzhu joined the battlefield, replacing Xie Qingxuan to dance together.
The dance rhythm continued to speed up, the three people approached each other, then moved away, taking turns to touch Chu Yuanqing’s palms, then separating from her, starting to pull and torment each other, revealing the chaos of the love triangle.
During this time, pink roses slowly fell from the painted glass dome above, accompanied by the 18th-century organ, creating a particularly profound scene.
The audience’s emotions grew stronger, and with the exciting performance, even the bullet comments in the live broadcast room decreased significantly.
The performance on stage was like a spiral approaching destruction endlessly.
Chu Yuanqing’s gentle smile remained as she danced with both of them in turn, spinning around to face Xie Qingxuan. After a handshake that seemed about to end, just like the light and joyful dozen spins before, they repeated the past moments together.
But this time,
As Chu Yuanqing spun around, she ran a hidden dagger across her neck. Her soft, slender body fell like a dead butterfly, her white gauze dress falling to the ground, stained with dust.
At this moment, the sunlight from the dome shone favorably on her, and pink roses fell like funeral bouquets in the strong wind, drifting down one by one to the skirt hem, as if sighing and weeping blood.
The music came to an end.
Ji Shuzhu danced over, followed the beat, and knelt next to Chu Yuanqing.
Xie Qingxuan turned away from the two, confessed to the statue in the church, and finally fell to the ground weakly.
And with that, this unique “ACUTE” performance ended perfectly under the lingering gaze of the audience.
The bullet comments in the livestream exploded simultaneously:
“Wow, they are dancing to a new version of ‘ACUTE’.”
“6, it’s not just changing to a lesbian love triangle, but completely rearranging the story and character relationships. Damn, what a brilliant choreographer.”
Someone analyzed:
“Probably the storyline has been rearranged. Chu Yuanqing is not a lesbian, but both of her friends are, and they have feelings for each other. Meanwhile, Xie Qingxuan’s emotions were conflicted, even considering extremes, which Chu Yuanqing noticed and rejected both of their feelings equally.”
“But both of them agreed to control their feelings to stay with Chu Yuanqing. At first, the three of them were good friends, but things didn’t stay that way for long, their feelings started to change.”
“Chu Yuanqing’s act of self-harm likely indicated that she noticed something different, so she chose to take extreme action. This extreme act might not necessarily mean death; it could also symbolize her decision to actively distance herself from the two, just portrayed in an exaggerated way.”
The audience commented:
“Oh, turning a somewhat melodramatic love triangle into unattainable lifelong regret literature, with even some twist elements, yet all done without any sense of inappropriateness. What on earth is going on in your head, Ji Shuzhu?”
“The coordination of the virtual reality system is also very detailed. The organ is from the 18th century, during the Victorian era, and roses from that time symbolized decadence, decay, and corruption, suggesting that Ji Shuzhu and Xie Qingxuan sought to lure Chu Yuanqing into desire.”
“So, the increasing number of pink roses in the middle and later stages implies the impurity of their intentions, which directly led Honey Qing to take extreme actions?”
“In that case, does the pink rose that eventually fell on Honey Qing’s skirt symbolizes that the two tarnished her purity, an irredeemable sin?”
“Not necessarily; it could indicate that even Honey Qing started to waver in the end. She was successfully lured into desire by the two, showing signs of being influenced to become a lesbian, so she decided to break away.”
As the desire surged in the bullet comments discussion,
The mentor’s seat in the audience was also being discussed, getting ready to score the performance on this side of the stage.
