Chapter 41 Second Performance Stage



"I want to come in..."

As she uttered her last word, those hands suddenly reached out to grab Little Bodhi!

She dodged desperately, the little bunny doll was lifted very high, and then with a scream, it was completely torn to shreds!

The instrumental track for "Growing Up Carrying Ten Thousand Pounds of Weight" is finally here...

The curtain slowly fell, and Bai Puti, holding one arm of a rabbit doll, staggered forward a few steps:

"Disheveled hair, many scars, if you don't recognize me..."

"Yet it sprouted, blossomed with a smile, and its belly grew bigger and bigger..."

...

His polluted voice echoed throughout the stage as Xiao Bodhi sang with a blank expression.

Four teammates in white dresses, holding lighting equipment to illuminate her upper body, sang the remaining lyrics together:

"Humans, you did this on purpose! Why didn't you choose me, just like everyone else?!"

...

Bullet comments—

[The opening was a brutal shock; why did I suddenly stop watching?]

A new, depressing stage has been set! Non-combatants, evacuate immediately! I repeat! Evacuate immediately!

I think I... know what the Purple Team is missing. If I add this opening to their song, it'll feel just right...

【Huh? Doesn't that mean...?】

Wait! Xiao Ning! Where did she go?

[Oh yeah? What happened to Xiao Ning? Don't tell me she plans to stay behind the scenes forever with this song?]

...

Feathers began to drift down from above the stage.

Yu Jianing, who couldn't find anyone, finally made her appearance with four teammates in black dresses.

"Will it shatter me, shatter me, shatter me..."

"Will you pity me, pity me, pity me..."

Despair! Utterly overwhelming despair! Yu Jianing walked slowly toward Bai Puti.

The teammate providing the lighting shone a faint light on the small black flower in the very center of her chest.

The four straps tied around her shoulders had lost their function of enhancing her appearance.

It was like a series of shackles, tightly binding Jia Ning!

After a while, the two finally got together.

They reached out as if looking in a mirror, trying to touch the small flower on each other's chests.

But just as their fingertips were about to touch, they immediately moved away!

They turned their backs to each other, the light illuminating Jia Ning disappeared, leaving only Xiao Puti alone:

"For years afterward, people around her still gossiped and pointed fingers..."

"I never imagined that the hardest thing would be going back to the way things were before..."

I thought my former playmates would offer me warmth and comfort...

"Finally, I learned to say goodbye because of what I relied on..."

She spoke again, and many words appeared on the previously dark screen, the murmur of countless people drowning out the music:

He acted on impulse!

Yes, he only ruined a girl's life!

Why don't you just not wear a skirt?

Why does he only contact you and not others?

By this point, the audience was already emotionally invested, and they erupted as soon as the rumors and gossip began to circulate.

[Damn, that's something a human being should say!]

You can teach your child to be wary of strangers, but you can't make her afraid to wear skirts, otherwise what's the point of having us!

If the world were really like this, would you feel comfortable giving birth to your child?

In the Nth Room case, none of the 260,000 viewers were innocent; they were all criminals!

...

"If you would love me, why hurt me in the first place?"

"Yes, I forgive you..."

"Growing up carrying a weight of ten thousand jin..."

"Why didn't you save me... Humans, how ridiculous..."

"Why am I not the only one who has withered away..."

After Bai Puti finished singing the last verse, she stood still, completely illuminated by the lights.

but……

Her dress was originally pure white, but now it was adorned with a jarring touch of black veil...

The light faded, she disappeared back into the darkness, and Jia Ning was illuminated:

"Will it... grab me, pinch me, tear me apart...?"

Xiao Ning looked at all the audience members and raised her hand, which trembled as she reached out towards the front:

"Just a moment, let me hide, let me hide quietly..."

"I really do have doubts..."

"Perhaps the world doesn't welcome me..."

As the lyrics continued, her expression grew increasingly vacant.

It's like an empty shell that has lost its soul!

Tears of pain and despair streamed down her face, and the overwhelming sense of heartbreak gripped the hearts of the audience.

But when the light shone on her entire body, a veil of white gauze appeared at the hem of her skirt, seemingly symbolizing that she still held onto silk in her heart...

The longing to be redeemed…

But... the lights went out again...

The entire stage returned to darkness, where no one could see anyone.

"Disheveled hair, many scars, if you don't recognize me..."

The remaining eight people slowly walked forward with lighting equipment and sang in their clearest voices.

Four teammates in black dresses surrounded Bai Puti, and four teammates in white dresses surrounded Yu Jianing.

In the dim light, fans could see the two's final expressions:

"I thought the people I saw were deliberately acting like fools..."

"Finally, I felt fear because of what I believed..."

Bullet comments—

Did Xiao Ning and Xiao Bodhi smile in the end? It makes my heart ache even more!

I'm so upset I'm crying my eyes out. I just rewatched Xiao Ning's last performance, and then this second performance... sob sob...

[I feel the same way as you upstairs, especially when Xiao Ning reached out her hand. I suddenly felt so powerless. She said the world didn't welcome her, and I really wanted to tell her, "The world welcomes you! Don't cry!"]

This is probably how parents of hurt children feel... It's so helpless.
