@cursively ♡ ★ ⋮ ̶f̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶d̶s̶ once upon a time . . . . ୧ , chapter — seven it was class, and yuying couldn't stop thinking about the angel song. even as her pen raced over the paper, jotting down every word the teacher said, her mind was filled with music. how could her classmates live without music? how could her classmates resign themselves to the same monotone everyday? before, yuying had regarded herself as the weird one. now, she realized, she needed to become the norm. because she couldn't imagine living without emotions. she let her eyes flicker to her deskmate for a fraction of a second. glassy eyes, emotionless mouth, rigid posture. she wished she could do something to free everyone. "xi yuying, please answer the math problem on the board." yuying stood and walked stiffly towards the whiteboard. she picked up a marker and read the problem. " the distance between two parallel lines l1 : x + 2y = 3 and l2 : 2x + 4y = 2 is ___ " she uncapped the marker and wrote the answer in numbers exactly one inch by one inch. 2/5 × √5. "correct. return to your seat." yuying complied, but her mind was still on music as she took her seat. she was going to find a way to make sure everyone could enjoy it. she had to.
