"am I the same as others?"
You ask yourself countless times, and the answers you get disappoint you-yes, just an ordinary person.
Pale cheeks and thin lips, Qi Mei's bangs always hide a trace of melancholy in his eyes. Plain-looking, average grades, silent personality, life and peace.
But you also want to be a different person from others, a person who is concerned and envied.
But you seem to have nothing but a slightly melancholy temperament and a full desire, and you have no skills.
You, standing outside the dance classroom, look at her, the legendary school flower, dancing with the music of Swan Lake, standing on tiptoe and turning gracefully, like a noble swan, shining and stinging your eyes.
When you get home, you stand barefoot in front of the mirror, open your arms, stand on tiptoe, try to turn around, but accidentally twist your foot. You sit on the floor, rubbing your ankles and smiling bitterly, and the light in your heart disappears completely.
Sure enough, I can only be an ordinary person. The story of the ugly duckling turning into a white swan is just a beautiful fairy tale. You want to be resigned.
The next day, the whole school chose actors for the drama A Dream of Red Mansions, and the whole class was having a heated discussion. There is no doubt that she has become the best candidate for Xue Baochai. You stand outside the circle, sigh and turn away. It doesn't belong to your world, so why care? But he was stopped. "Can you play Lin Daiyu?" You opened your mouth in surprise and shook your head: "I can't do it. I'm just an ordinary person. No different? " The voice trailed off, and I couldn't hear myself. "Who said that, your temperament is very suitable." Everyone echoed. Eager and hopeful eyes come to you, and you have nowhere to run, so you grit your teeth and agree.
You tell yourself, "Try it."
So, you try to recite lines, try to figure out the characters' psychology repeatedly, watch the TV series A Dream of Red Mansions repeatedly, and even dream of Lin Daiyu.
After several rehearsals, it was finally time to go on stage. Your palms are sweating slightly and shaking constantly. You try to calm yourself down: "Just this once."
The moment you stood on the stage, you suddenly relaxed. There are so many expectant eyes under the stage, so shiny spotlights on the stage, and a seedling called self-confidence has sprouted from your heart. You, finally standing on the same stage with her. You have finally become an eye-catching person.
At this moment, you are radiant.
Ask yourself again-"am I like others?"
No, it's different! Me, too! The voice in your heart answers proudly.
