Starlight Has No Past

Chapter 12 Part 2

Cheng Su opened her mouth, trying to decide how to address her . Then she

discovered that the two of them were so detached that she couldn’t think of

another name to call her by .  She sighed and continued: “Qiaoqiao, your father

hasn’t been feeling well lately . Since you came back to Yang City, though you

don’t accept me as family, you should still go home to see your father . He’s

the one who brought you into this world and raised you . ”

The glare of the city lights fell on Ye Qiao’s plain face through the gla.s.s wall

of the coffee shop, looking forlorn . Her voice was slightly cold: The fact that

we don’t get along is just between my dad and me . It has nothing to do with

you . ” She took a look at the time: “Is there anything else?”

Cheng Su puckered her lips and remained silent .

Ye Qiao sn.i.g.g.e.red: “Is there anything else you want to tell me?” With a glance

at Cheng Su’s still flattened tummy, she had a hard time to control the urge to

shatter the facade . She couldn’t help but asking: “You pregnant?”

Cheng Su was briefly shocked, but her facial expression quickly changed to an

apologetic smile: “You know already? Your father and I are hoping to give you

a little sister . ”

Ye Qiao was annoyed by how leisurely she spoke, as if the whole world would

move on as she had planned . Ye Qiao tried to calm the agitation in her mind

but having a hard time to control it . She snickered and repeated: “A little sister . ”

There was no feeling in her voice, but her heart was twisted into a knot: “Do you

know what kind of person her father is?”

“Who do you think you married? A famous painter, a contemporary master, a

talented and wealthy middle aged man?” Ye Qiao paused as if she wanted to

deny all the facts from the bottom of her heart: “Do you know he’s a killer?

Cheng Su, you have married a killer . Your kid, just like me, will be born as the

daughter of a killer, always . ”

Ye Qiao put the sungla.s.ses back on and parted ways with Cheng Su on not

so friendly terms .

so friendly terms .

Once she got into a taxi, she pulled out a few pills and swallowed them with

some water . Finally, she quieted down and blew out a long breath just as Zhou

Tingsheng’s Wechat message arrived: “Are you here?”

She took look at the time, the movie was about to begin . She pondered for a

while then replied: “I was held up by something and will be late for the movie .

Maybe can you just go in first?”

-- -- “I’ll wait for you . ”

When she arrived at the theatre, the movie had already been playing for

20 minutes .

Zhou Tingsheng gently rubbed the two tickets with his thumb: “Do you still

want to watch it?”

Ye Qiao took one of the tickets: “Sure . ”

Zhou Tingsheng used one finger to hook her sungla.s.ses and took it off . Her

expression wasn't as pleasant as when she was on the phone earlier . Her eyes

were somewhat gloomy; he realized that whatever held her up probably had

expression wasn't as pleasant as when she was on the phone earlier . Her eyes

were somewhat gloomy; he realized that whatever held her up probably had

spoiled her mood as well .

Ye Qiao grabbed her gla.s.ses back: “I’ll take it off later . Do you want to be on the

headlines of some tabloid tomorrow?”

They sat down right in the middle of the theatre and attracted some attention .

Ye Qiao didn’t take her gla.s.ses off until after she sat down . She exchanged a look

with Zhou Tingsheng with a shallow and insincere smile .

The tempo of the movie was very slow which was Director Lai’s style . Each frame

was like a picture which had been painstakingly composed . It was the kind of movie

that lover’s would watch together even if it wasn’t a love story . There were many

couples leaning against each other in the theatre . Ye Qiao, however, was sitting

there staring at the movie screen but her eyes were unfocused . Zhou Tingsheng

was sure that she wasn’t doing her “research” at all . Ye Qiao was totally oblivious

of his gaze . She was still thinking of her conversation with Cheng Su in the coffee

shop .

-- --You have married a killer . Your kid, just like me, will be born as the daughter of

a killer .

She was surprised at herself that she would say something like that to Cheng Su .

She had decided to keep this secret till the day she died . Though she had convicted

him for his crime and would never forgive him nor feel any sympathy, she still wished

her father could have a happy family and a comfortable life .

Maybe the news of that unborn child was too much for her that the words suddenly

burst from her .

Occasionally, some people in the audience would exchange a few comments . The

movie had proceeded to the part where Ye Qiao had exposed her back . The hearing

and speech challenged girl that Ye Qiao portrait took her winter clothes off one after

another, showing the fragility of the human body in a bare background . Ye Qiao used

her slightly tremulous shoulders and stiff, alert bones to show a physical representation

of the word loneliness . Two young men who wore ear studs sat behind them . They

smiled wickedly as they tossed popcorn into their mouths: “This chick’s figure ain’t bad . ”

Ye Qiao obviously heard him .
