Chapter 101: Metamorphosis
The post-festival fever continued to ferment over the next few days.
The most important thing is that at this time, most of the students who engage in instrumental music and build bands in the school are sophomores, and more of these students take the artistic route, and they themselves have practiced.
But the addition of Cheng Ran and the leadership of Qin Xizhen made this band, which was established for just over two months, amaze the audience at the art festival. That capital selection C has become the most popular and widely circulated music, and it is very popular.
So much so that when he went to school on the Friday after the day of the Cheng Ran Art Festival party, someone came to him to ask for lyrics, but in fact, the lyrics are not very good, the main melody of this song is catchy, so everyone will more or less hum along with a few of the lyrics.
The night he and Yang Xia were on the rooftop, Cheng Ran remembered many things in the past.
These memories are far enough for him to be yellowed in two lifetimes, but it is also a long time ago, when he suddenly remembers, there is a sense of impact after the time seal is unlocked.
Everything is real, the memories of playing in this yard since they were children, they moved from the old building to the new building, and then watched the new building gradually become the old building. In the process, they went from children to teenagers and young people, and then gradually moved out of the compound, gradually drifting away and becoming unbooked, and could only get a few words about their lives from acquaintances when they met and talked.
Cheng Ran went through that kind of journey once.
Every encounter in life seems to be for the final parting.
In this life, everything changed because of the effect of the butterfly effect of rebirth. Jiang Hongshao, who was originally just a friend of stealing loquats, had a deeper intersection with him, and because of him, he left Shanhai prematurely and went to Rongcheng. Xie Feibai's family has returned to a normal life, and there is no tragedy of family ruin. Yang Xia, who was originally getting farther and farther away from him, should have been in two schools with different advantages and disadvantages, and repaired his relationship with him.
There are still many people, invisibly, he has stirred up the waves.
But Jiang Hongshao's example also made Cheng Ran a wake-up call, when he changed some things, the future changes caused by such changes were also unpredictable.
But sometimes when I think about it, what he is pursuing does not seem to be the complete control of his life.
Sometimes Cheng Ran also wonders what the meaning of rebirth is, and why he is reborn in such a world that is different from the past. If all this is really something powerful in the dark that contains deep meaning, maybe it is to make up for your regrets, really sink into the scenery of life, and become a part of it, instead of just watching the scenery.
It's good to live in the moment.
Cheng Ran thought of Yang Xia on the rooftop again, and the way she stood in the clear light made him involuntarily overlap it with the figure in the sunset on the playground of the first junior high school.
Sometimes Cheng Ran can't help but skim some self-deprecation, it seems that as a reborn, time and space have been flattened in front of him. However, the boundaries of real life are still clear and insurmountable.
It's like even if he wants to go to Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School, he has to go through a transfer exam that stands in the way. It's as if even if he has the experience of later generations, it is clear that Cheng Feiyang has stood at the moment of the times, but he still needs time and opportunity to polish and wait for the wind to rise.
It seems that even if he and Jiang Hongshao have a deeper intersection, their masters are lonely and sympathetic to each other, but in front of the two of them, there are still many natural gaps. There are only a few letters every month, communicating time and space, and connecting each other's lives.
He can't get involved too deeply, and there's no reason to get involved too deeply, just like those things that he was used to in later generations, often saying that those vows that would "remember you forever" would eventually be lost forever. Maybe one day, all we have is a shared memory.
In human nature that does not stand the test. Forgetting is the biological nature of human beings.
......
After the recess exercise, along the main road, Cheng Ran routinely went to the mailroom, and then in the pile of letters in the mailroom, he saw several eye-catching and familiar fonts of "Shanhai City No. 1 High School Class 19, Cheng Ranhui".
Just took the letter out, Xie Feibai happened to come from the road below the mailroom, and when he saw him, he came over directly.
"Take the letter...... Is there any mine?"
Cheng Ran looked at him with a strange expression, "Someone will write to you?"
Xie Feibai considered his interpersonal relationships over the years, and said, "Write a letter and be a pen pal or something...... It's all boring...... Isn't it uncommon, I look like such a boring person?"
Then his eyes swept over the envelope that Cheng Ran was holding, and when he saw clearly that the payment was "Jiang Hongshao", he was stunned for a moment and stared at Cheng Ran carefully, "You have always been in contact with her?"
He didn't call Jiang Hongshao by his name, in fact, in his circle, he had known Jiang Hongshao for a long time. But as far as the fathers of the two are concerned, Xie Houming and Li Jingping are characters who can talk on an equal footing, and they are not qualified to wrestle their wrists.
Xie Feibai thought about it for a while, and gave a thumbs up to Cheng Ran, "You are amazing." ”
"However, this woman is not simple, don't blame me for not reminding you......"
Cheng Ran was noncommittal and opened the letter.
The first thing that catches your eye is a photo. Jiang Hongshao was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a small collar, holding a stack of colorful materials that looked like an event, and smiling at the camera.
That glance made Cheng Ran a little dazzling.
Then open the letter below, it is Jiang Hongshao's tone, "It's cheaper for you, this photo was given to you for the first time, what do you feel, please check the following three options: a. I haven't taken my eyes off for a minute." b.. It's almost suffocating. d. All of the above. ”
Cheng Ran couldn't help but wonder.
"I'm about to attend an event, when you receive this letter, reply to it, maybe I can receive it after the event...... In the past six months, I have read the letters I wrote with you, and sometimes I feel that time flies, and in the blink of an eye, so much time has passed......"
"94 and 95 are really the year of movie miracles, there are countless good movies, I feel that each one may be circulated for a hundred years, not long ago I watched "The Shawshank Redemption", for which I also read the book "Four Seasons", but the movie still changes, and the book itself is not the same......"
"I like a passage in the chapter of the book "Spring", which says, cowardice imprisons the human soul in the hope that it will make you feel free. The strong save themselves, and the saints cross people. ”
Sometimes I feel that peeping into Jiang Hongshao's life in the form of letters is a different experience. The life of the first high school is calm and has ups and downs. In the things he leads, the board game Three Kingdoms Kill is slowly becoming popular and spreading, and his father Cheng Feiyang's Fulong Company continues to expand and develop. And in Rongcheng, Jiang Hongshao's body, life is still going on.
It's just that in Jiang Hongshao's letters to him, most of the writing is cheerful and smart, and what he shared with Cheng Ran was mostly entertainment, campus anecdotes, or movies, as well as book recommendations and after-reading feelings.
But life is not always like this, there will be not so interesting, not so pleasant, for example, recently a student in Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School was terminally ill, and the whole school raised donations, which she often mentioned in her letter and avoided talking about it.
In view of Lao Jiang's maturity, she knew that even if she discussed a heavy topic in the letter, she probably only knew that nothing could be changed except for the same haze for Cheng Ran on the other side of the mountain and sea.
Cheng Ran actually mentioned it in his reply, intentionally or unintentionally, and she can also tell him about her unhappiness, he not only gains her cheerfulness, but is more willing to share her negative emotions.
However, what she always gets is her "considerate" response. What she probably hopes to keep in Cheng Ran's impression is positive, funny, and cheerful.
Well, that's what she thinks is the best.
After reading the letter, Cheng Ran pinched the letter paper, feeling that every time he read the letter she sent, he had two moods, one was still unfinished, and the other was eager to reply immediately.
When Cheng Ran read the letter, Xie Feibai didn't look at the content of the letter during the whole process, probably he had the impression that Jiang Hongshao was very clear, and even had a self-discipline that did not exceed the rules for the letter she wrote to Cheng Ran.
It's just that Cheng Ran saw the photo in his hand at the beginning.
After Cheng Ran finished reading and was about to put the photos and stationery in an envelope and take them back to the classroom, suddenly Xie Feibai stabbed Cheng Ran with his elbow.
They are located on the main road of the administrative building at this time, next to the window of the reading bar, every day there will be a person in charge of this room to replace the newspaper in the reading bar, which is displayed every day is nothing more than a few copies, "Shanhai Daily", the province's largest circulation "Rongcheng Metropolis Daily", "Tianfu Morning Post" and so on.
After Xie Feibai stabbed Cheng Ran with his elbow, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the end of the poster, his eyes were still blank.
There were some people standing there on the poster board to read the contents of the newspaper, but following Xie Feibai's fingers, Cheng Ran saw at a glance that among the several photos on the fourth page of the poster board Rongcheng Metropolis Daily, there was a photo of Jiang Hongshao in his hand.
Above the photo is the title - "Youth Day opened at the Rongcheng Convention and Exhibition Center, and the representatives of the youth pacesetters appeared, showing the sweetness of youth!"
The photo is followed by a dense introduction in small print, followed by the content "For the in-depth implementation of the national universities...... spirit, to guide young students to achieve national prosperity and national rejuvenation...... these are not important, the important thing is that the poster is surrounded in front of the poster, most of them are students who do not look at the content, and only appreciate the photos and praise them.
Cheng Ran looked at the Youth Day conference in the background of the Great Hall, and finally understood what was going on with the white small-necked shirt on Jiang Hongshao's body that looked like an event costume.
"Youth Pacesetter......
Xie Feibai muttered to this title, which he probably couldn't reach in his lifetime, "Lie down...... Does this woman want to be so perverted!?"
