Chapter 105 : Love Story
Chapter 105 : Love Story
Done... done it!?
Shocked, Bei Yaoluo's hand trembled, causing the steering wheel to turn slightly. With the slippery roads in the rain, she nearly lost control of the car.
Face flushed, Xifeng viciously pinched Bei Yaoyue's arm, but perhaps because her strength was too weak, Bei Yaoyue didn't even furrow her brow.
"Have you two really done it?" Bei Yaoluo couldn't help asking. She had just been casually teasing them and hadn't actually thought such a possibility existed.
"Really." Bei Yaoyue gave a definitive answer, while Xifeng beside her wanted nothing more than to twist her head off and kick it like a ball.
She wondered—wasn't Bei Yaoyue supposed to be bad at lying? Why was she being so diligent about telling the truth at a time like this?
"Tsk." Bei Yaoluo couldn't help clicking her tongue. Young people nowadays really were becoming more and more open.
She was already twenty-one and hadn't even had a boyfriend yet, but looking at these two sisters who were still in high school...
She could only sigh: Adults, times have changed.
"By the way, Sister Luo, how do you see us?" Xifeng asked softly. Indeed, she still couldn't be as completely indifferent to others' opinions as the heartless Bei Yaoyue.
"You're asking me?" Bei Yaoluo continuously tapped the leather cover on the steering wheel with her index finger, organizing her words. "I'm studying abroad in Paris, Germany—this is my fourth year. The atmosphere there is much more open than here. The City of Romance—you've definitely heard that nickname, right?
"After staying there for so long, I think homosexuality is very normal. Since you both like each other, then I as your sister definitely support you."
Unlike the domestic environment that still held stereotypical impressions, Western countries mostly held positive attitudes toward homosexuality. Through exposure and influence, Bei Yaoluo had long become accustomed to it and viewed it more openly.
If you like someone, then of course you should bravely be together.
"If only Mom and Dad could be like you." Xifeng's tone was full of helplessness.
"Ah, the older generation is all like that. In their era, forget about homosexuality—even holding a girl's hand was considered hooliganism. Having some generation gap is very normal." Bei Yaoyue smiled. To avoid discouraging them, she deliberately avoided mentioning one key point—their sisterly relationship.
Even in a place as open as Paris, ethics remained a forbidden line that no one dared casually touch. In China, the situation would only be more severe.
The only remaining room for maneuvering was that the two were at least not blood-related sisters. Bei Yaoluo could only silently pray in her heart, hoping these two children could ultimately get their wish and get on the right track.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to point out a path for them: "Incidentally, same-sex marriage is legal in Germany."
Her dim eyes regained some color. Bei Yaoyue suddenly raised her head and said to Xifeng: "Xifeng, let's go to Germany to get married in the future, okay?"
"...Stop, stop, stop. Let's wait until we're adults." Xifeng was sweating. What was this about? How had Bei Yaoyue fast-forwarded to marriage?
If they kept fast-forwarding like this, they'd soon have three generations under one roof.
But mentioning Germany, Xifeng remembered that fellow who had his leg broken and was sent to Germany for orthopedics. She wondered if he was now living a happy daily life with his sister.
The car exited the ring highway and entered Tianshui District, forty kilometers from the Bei Yao house.
"It's not even nine o'clock yet." Bei Yaoyue looked at the colorful lights flashing past outside the window. "Should we go sing karaoke?"
"Are you kidding?" Xifeng frowned at her. "You got soaked like that in the rain—shouldn't you hurry back to take a hot bath and change clothes?"
Although their clothes had dried about eighty percent from body heat during this half hour, and their hair was mostly dry too, for Bei Yaoyue's health, Xifeng still felt it would be better to quickly go back, take a hot shower, and sleep to prevent illness.
Moreover, they were still wearing pajamas. Wouldn't going to KTV in pajamas make them look like crazy people?
Seeing Xifeng disagree, Bei Yaoyue very straightforwardly ignored her opinion and turned to ask Bei Yaoluo: "Sister Luo, let's go sing karaoke?"
After analyzing Bei Yaoyue's current mental state, Bei Yaoluo weighed the pros and cons and finally nodded: "Alright."
When you're in a bad mood, you need to vent somehow. What if you keep it bottled up and it damages you?
Not expecting Bei Yaoluo to actually agree, Xifeng felt her head go numb. Had these two Bei Yao sisters conspired together to anger her, this fake Bei Yao person?
But with the steering wheel in Bei Yaoluo's hands, no matter how much Xifeng opposed, after several rounds of argument, she could only admit defeat.
The car finally stopped in front of a KTV called "Crescent Cash Box." Bei Yaoluo led the two into the service hall and booked a luxury medium room.
There were quite a few people waiting in the lobby, and they looked at this strange combination with odd gazes—a normally dressed girl in her early twenties leading two obviously young girls wearing pajamas with still-damp hair. They wondered: Could this really not be some kind of pyramid scheme or trafficking scene?
After booking the room, Bei Yaoluo followed the waiter to arrange things in the room, having the two go to the convenience store to buy some snacks and drinks.
Xifeng took some nuts and sunflower seeds—these things were more filling and could ensure the group wouldn't stop eating all night. She carried the items to the cashier, only to see Bei Yaoyue holding two cases of beer.
"You want to drink again?!" Xifeng frowned tightly and reached out to grab the beer from Bei Yaoyue's hands.
"Just drinking a little." Bei Yaoyue nimbly dodged Xifeng's grab and walked straight past her.
Missing her target, a large gray "MISS!" seemed to appear above her head. Xifeng was immediately extremely displeased.
She regretted indulging Bei Yaoyue's request to go singing. If she had known Bei Yaoyue also wanted to drink, she would never have agreed.
If Bei Yaoyue could really hold her liquor, that would be one thing, but she still remembered how Bei Yaoyue ended up last time. Her alcohol tolerance really wasn't good—a few bottles of beer could knock her out.
Getting drunk meant the alcohol intake had already exceeded the body's tolerance limit, which would undoubtedly cause serious damage to the body. She only hoped Bei Yaoyue would take it easy this time.
Putting the beer on the cashier counter, Bei Yaoyue turned and extended her hand to Xifeng: "Give me your stuff, I'll pay for it all together."
Sighing deeply, Xifeng understood that once Bei Yaoyue had made a decision, she definitely couldn't change it. She could only helplessly let Bei Yaoyue carry back two large cases of beer.
When they returned to the room, Bei Yaoluo looked surprised at the large bag of snacks and two cases of beer in their hands: "You bought so much stuff?"
"The beer is what she wanted to buy." Xifeng pointed at Bei Yaoyue, who just nodded and placed the beer on the table.
"I'll sing first."
While the two were shopping, Bei Yaoyue had already queued up the first song. She picked up the microphone, waiting for the intro to fade before raising her voice to sing.
"We were both young when I first saw you
......"
Her singing was unexpectedly beautiful. Bei Yaoyue seemed to be a natural talent; Xifeng felt that if full marks were 100, she’d give her at least 90.
The song was familiar to her—a love story called "Love Story," which had once taken the world by storm.
"......
And my daddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet'
But you were everything to me
I was begging you, 'Please don’t go'
......
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet ’cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
......
And I said,
'Romeo, save me
I’ve been feeling so alon
I keep waiting for you, but you never come'
......
He said,
'Marry me, Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone
I love you, and that’s all I really know'
......"
As the song ended, Bei Yaoyue set down the mic and asked with a smile, "How was it? I am quite confident in my singing."
"It was beautiful," Xifeng sincerely applauded, for the song had stirred something deep within her.
It was a love story that defied the world and ultimately triumphed.
Neither of them noticed that beside them, someone was quietly wiping away tears.
