Chapter 1

Nama aku Liu Yi, dari kecil aku dibesarkan di kampung, keluarga aku memang miskin.

Anak-anak lain masa kecil ada baju baru, aku tak ada. Anak-anak lain ada mainan baru, aku tak ada. Dari kecil sampai besar, yang aku ingat cuma kerja ladang yang tak habis-habis, dan belajar.

Masa sekolah menengah, ada yang mula bercinta, aku masih belajar. Hari tamat sekolah menengah atas, kawan-kawan semua sibuk dengan pelbagai majlis, tapi aku cuma mampu genggam surat tawaran universiti, sambil tersenyum serahkannya kepada ayah yang sedang bekerja di ladang.

Malam sebelum aku pergi ke universiti, ayah duduk di pintu, hisap rokok satu persatu, tak tidur semalaman. Pagi esoknya, masa aku sampai di hujung kampung, ayah selitkan sekeping wang yang renyuk di tangan aku, sambil tersenyum dia kata, "Anak, di bandar besar nanti jaga diri baik-baik, jangan berjimat sangat sampai tak makan, kalau tak ada duit, beritahu ayah..."

Hari tu aku pergi ke sekolah dengan air mata, kehidupan di universiti memang seronok, ramai gadis cantik, pemandangan di bandar besar juga indah, tapi semua kemewahan itu macam tak ada kaitan dengan aku. Aku masih dengan tabiat lama, selain pergi kelas, aku ke perpustakaan, aku cuma fikir nak dapatkan biasiswa, supaya keluarga tak susah sangat.

Aku sangka kehidupan universiti aku akan berlalu begitu saja, tapi tak sangka, seorang gadis bernama Lin Xier tiba-tiba muncul dalam hidup aku.

Lin Xier adalah bunga kelas kami, kulitnya putih bersih, rambut panjang hitam, kaki panjang lebih dari satu meter, suka pakai kasut sukan putih dan baju tanpa lengan putih, Lin Xier seolah-olah sinonim dengan remaja. Dalam kelas, malah seluruh sekolah, entah berapa ramai yang tergila-gilakan Lin Xier.

Sebenarnya aku juga sangat suka Lin Xier, tapi aku tak pernah berani luahkan, sebab setiap pakaian yang dia pakai, boleh lebih mahal dari semua harta aku. Kadang-kadang di perpustakaan atau semasa aktiviti kelas, Lin Xier akan bercakap dengan aku beberapa patah perkataan, tapi setiap kali dia bercakap, hati aku berdegup kencang.

Masyarakat memang realistik, aku sangat suka Lin Xier, rupa dan tinggi aku tak buruk, tapi aku tak ada duit dan latar belakang, nak ajak dia tengok wayang pun aku tak ada keberanian...

Tapi petang itu, tiba-tiba aku terima mesej dari Lin Xier:

"Aku Lin Xier, malam ni nak pergi karaoke, kawan baik aku tak ada sebab temankan teman lelaki dia, Liu Yi boleh temankan aku?"

Aku gosok mata beberapa kali, ini betul ke? Aku bukan bermimpi kan?

Lepas cubit diri sendiri, aku menjerit kegembiraan, berlari balik ke bilik, pakai baju paling mahal dan kemas, dan dengan pandangan hairan kawan-kawan bilik, aku keluar. Kemudian aku gigit bibir, beli sembilan kuntum ros di kedai bunga, tunggu sampai pukul tujuh setengah malam, dan pergi ke Night Feast!

Night Feast adalah tempat hiburan terkenal di bandar ini, tempat dengan kos tinggi yang aku tak pernah jejak. Dari luar sudah nampak lampu neon berkelip, di dalam Night Feast yang berwarna-warni, sekumpulan anak muda bebas lepaskan hormon mereka. Aku rasa agak gugup, tapi dekat dengan pintu, aku pura-pura tenang, dengan sembilan kuntum ros di tangan, menarik perhatian orang lalu lalang.

"Encik, berapa orang? Tingkat berapa?"

Seorang penjaga pintu segera bertanya dengan sopan.

Walaupun aku tak pernah alami situasi ini, tapi sejak kecil aku sudah biasa dengan tekanan, dengan tenang aku jawab, "212!"

Tingkat pertama adalah kawasan sambutan, pelayan muda hilir mudik. Aku perhatikan kawasan ini dengan tenang, ada satu pintu di kawasan sambutan, pintu itu terbuka dan tertutup dengan keluar masuk anak muda, di dalamnya penuh asap dan cahaya samar, muzik berat menggetarkan hati.

Ramai yang keluar dari dalam, dengan wajah mabuk, berpakaian seksi, memandang aku dengan mata menggoda, membuatkan hati aku yang tak berpengalaman ini berdegup kencang.

"Encik, sini."

Nasib baik seorang pelayan segera datang, membawa aku ke depan lif, dan dengan walkie-talkie dia berkata, "Encik 212, tunggu!"

Tingkat pertama Night Feast adalah bar terbuka, sangat bising dan meriah, sekumpulan orang berpakaian menarik sedang menari. Tingkat kedua adalah bilik persendirian, dengan kalis bunyi yang baik, koridor sangat sunyi, hanya bila pintu bilik dibuka, suara dari dalam terdengar.

Dengan hati yang berdebar, aku dibawa ke pintu 212, menarik nafas dalam-dalam, dan membuka pintu.

Di dalam bilik ada sofa mewah, meja dan kerusi, skrin LCD besar, mesin karaoke, lampu samar, hiasan yang menggoda, membuatkan aku yang dari kampung ini tak dapat menahan diri untuk melihat sekeliling.

Tapi, yang duduk di sofa bukan Lin Xier, tapi kawan baiknya, Lu Yan.

Aku bertanya, "Kenapa awak, bukan..."

Lu Yan nampak aku, matanya bersinar dan dia berdiri. Walaupun dia tak secantik Lin Xier, tapi dia juga seorang gadis cantik. Lu Yan mempunyai tubuh yang sangat baik, setinggi 170cm, biasanya di kampus dia berpakaian agak terbuka, suka pakai skirt pendek, menggoyangkan kaki putihnya, membuatkan orang lain tak tenang.

Dia segera datang, memaut lengan aku, tak peduli dadanya yang penuh bergesel dengan lengan aku, aku jadi keliru.
