Under the moonlight, on the edge of a cliff.
Lorraine and Lebel sat together, maintaining a small distance. But when Lebel turned to look at him... the endless vicissitudes in Lorraine's eyes as he gazed at the starry sky made her truly realize... that she might not really understand the man in front of her.
and.
After sitting so close to him for the first time, Lebel suddenly found herself understanding some of the feelings that Rocco had once described.
He's not that kind of person at all; you don't understand him at all!
Lorraine would never do such a thing.
He's different from other men; he's a good person.
The words Rocco had once spoken to her echoed in Lebel's ears, stirring a pang of guilt within her for so easily judging others.
The tranquility of the night did not last long.
Leiber spoke up.
"What did you mean by what you just said? You think you can be looked down upon and ridiculed as an idiot?"
“That’s a long story, Miss Lebel. I’m not a particularly talented person, so in many ways… I’ve been quite clumsy from the beginning and can’t do everything perfectly. And every time I fail, someone jumps out and criticizes my naivety without restraint, mocks my efforts, and denies my dreams… So I know very well what it feels like to be constantly denied even when you’ve tried your best.”
"And what about your dream?"
"Live, live like a human being, live well."
"Huh? What kind of dream is that?"
“It’s incredible, isn’t it? But it has always been my dream.”
"So, have you achieved it? Aren't you living a perfectly good life now?"
Leiber didn't understand.
Lorraine paused for a moment, then looked at her, smiled slightly, and replied, "That's because I've never chosen to give up. I persevered, I tried my best, so you can see who I am today... As the saying goes, 'Past misdeeds are nothing to boast about, one can see all the flowers of Chang'an in a single day.' I know everyone thinks Miss Luo Ke sings terribly, and indeed, she does sing terribly. But she didn't give up on herself because of that. Instead, she bravely stood up every time to challenge her past self, eager to improve and break through. I think that courage alone is enough to give her a chance to succeed in the future."
"So do you think... that Rocco could really become an idol star in the future?"
"I don't know, but as long as she doesn't stop, her future... is full of endless possibilities, isn't it?"
Leiber remained silent.
Lorraine Road.
"If Miss Rocco can't handle the setback and chooses to give up, then her future is destined to be one where she can never become an idol. Since she is so brave in pursuing her dream, what's wrong with us, as her friends, just offering some words of encouragement and motivation?"
"Maybe you're right. I'm sorry, I just didn't want to see her feel sad and upset because people said she sang badly."
"Miss Lebel, you and Miss Rocco have known each other for a long time, haven't you?"
"It's just so-so."
"Hmph, that's a lie."
"no."
"I can smell lies on you."
"Are you a dog???"
Leiber was almost speechless with amusement at this man.
Lorraine responded with a faint smile.
"Did you two... have a fight tonight?"
"No."
"Still lying."
"no."
"Then why did you sneak out in the middle of the night to wipe away your tears?"
"I...I didn't secretly wipe away my tears!"
Knowing that the other person had seen her embarrassed state, Lebel turned her head away, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Lorraine didn't press further, but simply offered words of advice.
“I don’t know what exactly caused your argument, but I still hope you can get along well. I can tell that you’ve known each other for a very long time, and… Miss Lebel, Miss Rocco must hold a very important place in your heart, right?”
"What? I...I...I didn't! What does that idiot Rocco have to do with me? I don't care about her at all!"
Leiber hurriedly denied it repeatedly.
Unfortunately, the more she denied it, the more Lorraine saw it as an admission of guilt.
Lorraine laughed.
"I've figured you out now. You're just too slow-witted, like a block of wood. You're also extremely concerned about saving face and always like to deny your own feelings, deceiving yourself."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Look, we haven't even exchanged two sentences and you're already yelling. If I'm wrong, why do you care so much?"
"Lorraine, don't even think about slandering me. What do you mean I'm particularly concerned about my image and like to deny my own feelings? What feelings could I possibly have that would make me deny them?"
"Miss Lebel, your feelings for Miss Rocco are probably more than just those of close friends, aren't they?"
In an instant.
Upon hearing this, Leibel's heart skipped a beat, and she became even more flustered, no longer daring to look Lorraine in the eye.
She could only stammer in response.
"My relationship with her was just... just a tragic one."
"A tragic fate? Stop deceiving yourself. If you truly believe Miss Rocco is an important person to you, then say it out loud and express it properly. Don't let shyness hold you back!"
