C3 The Sadness of the Double
My heart was filled with doubts as tens of thousands of question marks filled my mind. Thinking of that yellow-haired man who came running over today, I seemed to have understood something. I looked towards Lin Qingrou, who was holding my hand.
I couldn't see Lin Qingrou's expression, but her face was very white outside the mask. Her eyes were full of sadness and unwillingness, as well as anger and loss.
Lin Qingrou gripped my hand so tightly that her palms started to sweat. I was in so much pain from being grabbed, but I had to endure it silently. Although I didn't understand what was going on, I think Lin Qingrou must be feeling really bad right now.
"Does it hurt you?" A long time after the live broadcast ended, Lin Qingrou slowly loosened her grip on my hand, turned around and apologetically said. Then, she let go of my hand.
I hastily shook my head and smiled brightly at Lin Qingrou. "It doesn't hurt."
"En, Sister Xiao Rou is not feeling well today, so I won't go for a walk. How about I give you some money, and you go buy it yourself?" Do you know how to get home? " Lin Qingrou asked me gently.
I shook my head and said there was no need for that. Since Big Sister Xiao Rou isn't feeling well, I will head back first.
After returning home, Lin Qingrou locked herself in her room. My heart also felt very uncomfortable, how could I put it? I felt as if someone was tearing at my heart, Lin Qingrou was unhappy, I also felt very sad, I don't know why this is happening, in short, it feels very uncomfortable, I feel like doing everything is boring, life has lost its meaning.
No, I want to make her happy! I can cook, go to the kitchen and get some food for Lin Qingrou, but I don't really understand these high technology, so something big almost happened. But I know how to surf the internet, search for all kinds of information, and then when I learned how to cook, I sent it over to Lin Qingrou, but the door wasn't opened, and Lin Qingrou didn't answer me.
I felt even worse. It felt like I was wasting my time trying hard for the whole afternoon.
In the next few days, in the same house, I almost never saw Lin Qingrou, let alone knew if she had eaten. I was very worried, but when I knocked on the door, there was no response.
And these days, I didn't idle around either. I began to plunder all the rules and information about celebrities, substitutes, and the entertainment circle, even some of the unwritten rules.
This made me even more confused. Why was this happening? Could it be that Lin Qingrou was actually the double of the famous celebrity on TV, Lin Qingrou? After all, with such a hot celebrity, the announcements and appointments for filming and advertising would definitely be filled to the brim!
However, Lin Qingrou didn't leave her house for three days. What made me even more suspicious was that Lin Qingrou had always been in this villa, but there was always another 'Lin Qingrou' active in the outside world.
How could this be? How could there be someone who looked so much alike and had the same name and voice?
On the fourth day, I was awoken by a song. The song was melodious and mournful, as if it was about love, not family, but also not love. I woke up in a daze and listened seriously.
Who dares to make a fool of himself,
Without a heart, how could they match?
"..."
You and I are the best pair by nature, without you it would be our original sin.
It was better to be without a heart.
You are ragged and I paint, walk side by side over the mountains and water, you are gaunt, I am beautiful for you.
"..." They misunderstand, but I only you control, asked the world which is more perfect.
I couldn't hear much else, but the words that bothered me the most were the words: You are shabby, I paint, you are haggard, I am beautiful for you. You lead me to dance as if I were flying, you lead me to know when to advance and when to retreat, I follow you with sorrow and pleasure, you do not disobey your commands, you make me humble and gentle, I will not be wrong if you are wrong, you understand my ignorance …
I felt something, but I couldn't tell what it was. It was as if they were talking about two people who were following each other like shadows. It felt like they were complementary and couldn't be missing a single one.
At this point, the singing stopped. I thought that Lin Qingrou and I were the only ones in the house, so I quickly got up. Without even washing myself, I put on a coat and ran downstairs. I was still wearing my pajamas.
It was still around six in the morning, but Lin Qingrou had really woken up. Furthermore, she had come out of her room and was lying on the sofa in the living room with her head on the pillow. It was her cellphone that was playing a song.
When I saw it clearly, my whole body shuddered and my nose itched. I subconsciously touched my nose.
Oh my god, there will be a long time in the future. If this goes on, what will happen then?
At this moment, Lin Qingrou was still wearing her pink, translucent pajamas. Lying in a seductive and lazy position on top of something in the living room, her beautiful legs were stretched out straight and her hands were slightly raised. After all, she was a superstar and knew what kind of posture was best and most seductive.
His hair was slightly disheveled, and his face was filled with a lazy expression. He looked like a fairy that had just woken up.
However, when my eyes focused on the frozen tears in the corner of Lin Qingrou's eyes, the charm in my heart immediately dissipated and I was no longer able to feel any desire. I could only feel a dull ache in my heart.
Lin Qingrou was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed. She seemed to be listening to a song, but as she listened, tears began to fall.
I quietly went down. I took off the jacket I was wearing and covered Lin Qingrou's body, hiding her perfect figure. I was a normal man, so I was afraid that my body wouldn't be able to take it.
"Didn't you just watch all day from the stairs? I'm afraid you saw enough to pretend to be a good person." When Lin Qingrou heard my voice, she slowly opened her eyes. Lifting her red lips, her voice was gentle yet weak. Her voice was gentle and weak, but it made her look even more beautiful.
My face flushed red to the point that it was like a monkey's ass. My cheeks flared up and I said, "N-no, I just woke up. I didn't see clearly …" "Really, big sis Rou, don't be angry …"
Lin Qingrou has been in a bad mood these few days, and she's even cried before. If she gets angry at me again, my heart would be in an even worse state.
"Do I look angry? "It's not like I haven't been seen by a stinking brat like you. Go and cook breakfast for me, I'm hungry." Lin Qingrou charmingly rolled her eyes. She closed her eyes to rest, not paying any more attention to me.
"What?" You want to eat? "Haha, alright, I'll go right now. I'll go right now. Wait a moment, huh." It's been three days and Lin Qingrou finally said that she wanted to eat. I couldn't even endure being hungry for three days, let alone Lin Qingrou, no wonder her expression was so ugly. I excitedly ran into the kitchen to get the wind and rain.
Before he left, he heard the chuckle of Lin Qingrou behind him. "This silly boy, isn't it just eating? Is there a need to be so happy about it?"
Haha, of course I'm happy. Perhaps only I know how important Lin Qingrou is in my heart.
On the opposite side, I seriously watched as Lin Qingrou ate. Although Lin Qingrou was very hungry, she ate very elegantly as well, with her small mouth moving slightly. Watching the beautiful woman eat, it was also a great pleasure for her.
"It's quite delicious. The smelly brat's cooking skills are quite good."
"Sis Rou, eat more when it's good. There's still some more. Oh yeah, Sister Xiao Rou, I seem to have heard a song just now and woke up. It sounds really good. I cautiously asked, keeping a close eye on Lin Qingrou's expression.
Lin Qingrou's expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal. "It's called 'Tactics of the Thread', and it's pretty good to listen to."
"Yes, it's very nice. Sister Xiao Rou likes this song because of the song's lyrics right? You don't understand me, but I am beautiful for you. I am beautiful for you, and we are both rich for you. Big Sis Rou's song is about the special relationship between you and your double, right? " I thought about it again and again, carefully considering every word, afraid of provoking Lin Qingrou. This was also one of my doubts from the past few days, even though I already had the answer in my heart.
"Pa …"
Lin Qingrou's chopsticks fell to the ground with a thud, her face turning incomparably pale.
"Didn't you see the press conference that day? I'm the double, I'm just the shadow of Lin Qingrou's star. Do you know what a double is? All the dangerous things and difficult things are for you. And the only ones who get both fame and fortune are the big stars in front of the movies, while the double can only be the shadow of a star. No fame and no profit, only using his life to earn some money, do you understand? " Lin Qingrou's expression became extremely agitated, her eyes filled with grief and sorrow.
"I am just a shadow of a big star. Even if I have her voice, my daily life, the same appearance as her, the same name, and even more power, I am still only her shadow. I can only live under her shadow forever, and I can never surpass her. The more Lin Qingrou said, the more agitated she became. Her expression was one of malevolence and pain as she slammed the table and stood up while shouting at me.
I didn't say anything, but silently endured Lin Qingrou's rage.
After Lin Qingrou finished venting her anger, she slumped into a chair, her tears streaming down her face, causing me heartache to the point that my heart was about to break. Intense stabbing pain filled my heart.
A perfect double has to look like a celebrity, and then learn how to live like one. Most of the time, one has to live with a celebrity and eat together, whatever a superstar does, the double has to learn to do, just like Lin Qingrou said, double is the shadow of a celebrity!
At a critical moment, he would have to bear the danger for the celebrity, but fame and fortune had nothing to do with being a substitute for her. That was because he was just the shadow of a star. Even if they found out, they would only be a shadow. Who would pay attention to them!
"Sister Xiao Rou, since you're experiencing the pain and suffering of your substitute sister, you must be very considerate of her. But why did she want to take away everything about you, Sister Xiao Rou!?" Let you be her shadow! And they even sent people to humiliate you! " I raised my head and focused my gaze on a spot. I stared at Lin Qingrou as I asked her each and every word.
"What did you say!?" Lin Qingrou was stunned as she stared at me …
After a long while, Lin Qingrou gave a long sigh and said, "Today is the day they come to take away the house and the car."
