她拿起手机,本意是想看看时间,却被屏幕上弹出的TikTok推送吸引了注意力。封面是一张模糊却极具氛围感的照片,正是她和陆则川在舞池中央跳舞的模样,宝蓝色的裙摆旋转成一道优美的弧线,黑色燕尾服的少年身姿挺拔,两人的目光交织,温柔得不像话。标题赫然写着:“Prince Harvard was dancing with the fairy-like girl in the blue dress. Who get it?”(哈佛西湖王子与蓝裙少女的神仙共舞,谁懂啊!)
“是谁拍的啊……”沈若斐小声嘀咕着,脸颊微微泛红。视频的镜头不算稳定,却精准地捕捉到了她最美的瞬间,连她自己都忍不住多看了两眼。她快速划到评论区,扑面而来的全是赞美和好奇的声音:“The girl is just so gorgeous! This dress is amazing!”“The two of them have an excellent level of coordination, and their physical appearance compatibility is 100%!”“Can I get her TikTok accounts?”(女生也太好看了吧!这条裙子绝了!两人的默契度拉满,颜值适配度100%!求女生的TikTok!)
另一边的哈佛西湖中学,课间休息的铃声刚响,Toby就拿着手机兴冲冲地跑到陆则川身边,拍了拍他的肩膀:“Ethan! Look at TikTok! The video of you dancing with Serena has gone viral! The views have exceeded 50,000!”(Ethan!快看TikTok!你和Serena跳舞的视频火了!播放量都破五万了!)
他兴奋地点开评论,挂着笑容大致翻看着。可当那些夹杂在赞美中的污言秽语映入眼帘时,脸色瞬间沉了下来。“Although she is good-looking ,it doesn't mean they aren't just trying to ride on the popularity wave.”“How to have sex with her”“This woman has an excellent figure. It must be comfortable when raping her.”,(长得好看又怎么样,指不定是故意蹭热度;怎么泡到她;这女的身材真好,上起来一定很舒服) 一条条恶意的评论像针一样,扎得他心里发疼。
“How dare they are! How could these people say such things about Serena!”(太过分了!这些人怎么能这么说Serena!)Toby瞄到了那些评论,气得皱起了眉头,“Should I confront them? Report all their comments!”(我要不要去跟他们对线?把他们的评论都举报了!)
陆则川摇了摇头,指尖紧紧攥着手机,指节泛白:“No. Don't make a fuss about it yet. I'm afraid these comments will affect her. She is currently busy with her graduation project and can't be distracted.”(不用,先别声张。我怕这些评论会影响到她,她现在正忙着毕业设计,不能分心。) 他的心里满是担忧,他怕沈若斐性子敏感,要是看到这些恶意的评论,肯定会难过,甚至会影响到她的心情和学习。
日子在忙碌中过得飞快,转眼就到了十一月第二周。11月10号是Toby的生日,提前三天,他就在学校里通知了二十来个玩得好的同学,晚上来家里开生日派对。放学时,Toby特意跑到陆则川身边,拍了拍他的肩膀:“Ethan, come to attend my birthday! My parents will absent, so we can have a great time together!”(Ethan,我生日那天一定要来啊!我爸妈不在家,我们可以好好玩一场!)
“No?”(没有?)那个女生挑了挑眉,笑着调侃道,“So, do you like the girl on TikTok who dances with you? When I watched you two dancing, your eyes were almost blurred from the intensity of the gaze!”(那你是不是喜欢TikTok上和你跳舞的那个女生?我看你们跳舞的时候,眼神都要拉丝了!)
话音刚落,同学们的欢呼声更大了,纷纷跟着起哄:“Wow,is it true Ethan?”(哇!是不是啊Ethan?)“I guess you like her!”(快说快说!你是不是喜欢她!) “This is the second question, I won't answer.”(这是第二个问题了,我不回答。)
“Serena! You're finally back!”(Serena!你终于回来了!)Toby兴奋地大喊着,快步跑了过去,“I thought you weren't coming!”(我还以为你不来了呢!)
沈若斐喘着气,笑着说道:“Sorry. I finished my defense too late and I went out specially to buy a cake, so I'm late. Happy birthday, Toby!”(对不起对不起,我答辩结束得太晚了,又特意去买了蛋糕,所以来迟了。生日快乐呀Toby!)她把手里的蛋糕盒子递给Toby,脸上满是笑容。 “Thanks,Serena~”Toby接过蛋糕,转身走去厨房的餐桌上放下。
【Serena: You guess what? Today I have a close look at Ethan.】 【Micky: uh-huh?】 【Serena: His skin looks so smooth! 】 【Serena: He is so gorgeous!】 【Micky: Beat it.】(滚)
