Looking at Heather's bright smile, Lan Li spread out her hands, "I think it's more likely that I won't even be able to pass the audition, and then I will be eliminated directly." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Then you will pass the test and go all the way to the end to become the new American Idol and realize your dreams. ”

Heather thought Lan Li was joking at first, laughing and laughing, but then she caught the focus and sincerity in Lan Li's sight, which made the smile freeze at the corner of her mouth, and she was stunned for a while, and then the smile gradually turned into bitterness, flooding on the tip of her tongue, so turbulent that she could barely resist, "It's not that simple, I need help even eating and walking now, how can I go to 'American Idol' to participate in the competition?"

"It's that simple. Lan Li's voice was still gentlemanly and polite, but at this time, it was categorically irrefutable, which made Heather raise her head suddenly, and cast her gaze in astonishment, "That's an 'American Idol'! It's a stage to test your singing voice, you just need to go on the stage and sing loudly, no one will mind if you're standing, sitting, or ...... Lie down. ”

Lan Li's playful tone was the same as always, but this time Heather didn't laugh, a wave of anger and irritability began to surge in her heart, and she wanted to speak several times, and finally broke out at this moment, "What do you know? You are not the sick person, you are not the person lying in the hospital bed, you are not the person who even exposes the privacy of going to the toilet to the nurse! You don't understand anything! You can do anything wantonly! You don't understand! You're just standing by and making nonsensical comments, no different from those selfish and arrogant narcissists!"

"I know, I know. Lan Li did not flinch at all, and looked at Heather unswervingly, the powerful force choked Heather's neck, so that she had almost nowhere to escape, she could only look at Lan Li in a daze, staring intently.

"I know that when the scythe of death hangs around the neck, when basic survival becomes a luxury, dreams are a luxury that serves no purpose, even worse than excrement. But at the same time, I also know that if even ourselves give up, give up our dreams, give up hope, then everything is meaningless, we are just lingering, like the walking dead, struggling to live, eating, drinking and Lazar is the whole of life, the brain has no meaning at all, the instinct/ability, all of which is only the essence/ability. There is no difference between a day and a decade, so it is better to end it all. ”

Lan Li's words were still gentlemanly and gentle, but the tenacity hidden in them was loud, bursting out in her ears with a sonorous and powerful sound, Heather looked at Lan Li's bright eyes, and stayed in place in shock, the powerful energy that erupted from under the bottomless abyss, so real, so urgent, so profound, penetrated her layers of armor, and hit the softest part of her heart fiercely. How could he possibly know? How could he possibly guess all his thoughts?

The shock was so great that she sat there in a daze, unable to utter a word, and her soul began to tremble.

"I also know that at the end of the day, I will regret why I didn't at least try to see it in the first place. Even if it's just to give it a try. Lan Li took a deep breath fiercely, the surging emotions in his heart were almost uncontrollable, at this moment, at this moment, he lost control for the first time, because he saw himself in Heather, the self of the previous life.

He didn't know how much pain Heather had endured, because the illness of the "ALS" was far more terrible than he imagined, but he knew that in the previous life, he didn't even have the process of gradually losing his vitality, he was sentenced to death early, and the ending of the high paraplegia grabbed his throat so fiercely, and he didn't even have a chance to struggle; he knew even more that Heather could still fight now, she could still work hard, she could still struggle, she still had a chance, once she missed it, she would miss it forever.

"It's your dream. If you don't do it yourself?Are you praying for someone to do it for you?Jesus?Buddha?Creator?Or your parents?" Lan Li clenched his fists tightly, forcibly suppressing the surging emotions, he knew that it was unfair to Heather, his words were too natural and mixed with too many personal emotions, and he did not have the right to criticize Heather's life like this.

In the depths of Lan Li's line of sight, Heather caught a trace of the pain of struggle, although this intricacy was fleeting, and soon hid behind the eyelashes, covered with a thin layer of mist, and could no longer be seen, but Heather could clearly feel that the emotion that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made the soul begin to tremble, deep and turbulent, so real, so profound.

Suddenly, Heather's eyes filled with tears, because of empathy, but also because of inner touch. She suddenly realized, as if Lan Li couldn't judge her at will, he didn't know what she was going through, and vice versa. Behind Lan Li's wanton run, what story is hidden, she has never understood, and she refuses to understand. But in the words just now, Heather felt the fear and vulnerability in Lan Li's heart.

Same with her.

Lan Li didn't continue to speak, he looked at Heather quietly, he could see her hesitation and struggle, he could see her fear and vulnerability, he could also see her pain and anger.

He knows that this is easier said than done. He had exhausted a lifetime of hesitation and hardship before he came to his senses and ran barefoot in desperation, and now Heather, only fifteen years old, even seven years younger than when he was sentenced to death in his previous life, could not ask for more from her. But Lan Li knew that if he could turn back the clock, he would be willing to give it all in exchange for a chance, not a chance to do it all over again, but a chance to give it a go, a chance to hope—before it was too late.

He was lucky to have a second chance to start over, but what if Heather wasn't so lucky? More importantly, Heather's condition had not completely deteriorated now, and she still had a chance, but time was running out for her.

The fingertips danced gently on the strings again, light and joyful, romantic and poetic, the low strings gently hit the eardrums like a drum, the golden sun, the fragrant coffee, the tender green grass, the colorful flowers, the black and white butterflies, the running children...... The vivid picture was sketched out in my mind unconsciously.

Heather couldn't help but raise her eyes, and her gaze fell on the shallow smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth, clear and bright, the mottled halo of broken gold gently rippled under her eyes, and the chaotic thoughts vanished in the light string sound.

"My house in Budapest, my treasure chest, my golden piano, my wonderful Spanish wine, for you, I am willing to give up all my ......"

Lan Li hummed softly, the slightly lowered voice was slightly low, but as elegant and mellow as the strings of a cello, and the wonderful emotions were outlined in a few words, Heather couldn't help but slowly close her eyes, imagining the golden piano, dark red wine, The glowing treasure chest, walking silently on the dark brown carpet, the oil paintings hanging on both sides show the artistic taste of the owner, the carved sofa and the copper teapot appear quiet and serene, and the faint fragrance of tea is thick in the afternoon sun.

It's all good to say.

"The land I own is vast and immense, and it may be difficult for you to believe in my sincerity, but for you, for you, I am willing to give up everything. Give me a good reason why I shouldn't change, baby, if you hug me, all obstacles will dissipate. ”

The moving melody does not seem to be overly complicated, but every measure is as beautiful as poetry, pure to the extreme, simple to the extreme, but bursting out of the supreme realm of simplification. The brisk rhythm made Heather's fingers gently tap on her knees, hitting the rhythm, and even her body couldn't help but start shaking gently, as if wandering in a sunny stream, warm and free, casual and lazy, and her fingertips could even touch the rounded arc of the pebbles, the soft lines of the stream, and the flexible trajectory of the breeze.

Little by little, the world lit up, and the golden sunlight pierced through the endless darkness, slowly, slowly, slowly, awakening the vitality of all life.

"I have many handmade treasures, and the list is long and long, and if you say those words, I will run to you at once, oh, to you, and I am willing to give up everything. Give me a good reason why I shouldn't change, baby, if you hug me, all obstacles will dissipate. ”

Without holding back, Heather chuckled, as if he saw the long list of parchment rolls piled up at Lan Li's feet, he was dressed in vintage French court dress, holding a quill in his hand, gently ticking the rare treasures on it, and then gently raised his chin and said with a haughty face, "I am willing to give up everything." The understatement was so categorical, with a hint of arrogance and coldness in his eyes.

The vivid picture really makes people laugh. So, Heather outlined the corners of her mouth, allowing the smile to leak out softly, and even overflowing her voice. Cheerful and happy. His body swayed to the rhythm, his fingertips and toes could no longer bear the loneliness, and he began to tap dance.

"My friends and family, they don't understand, they are afraid of losing too much, if you take my hand, but for you, for you, I am willing to give up everything. Give me a good reason why I shouldn't change, baby, if you hug me, all obstacles will dissipate. ”

Suddenly, happiness to the extreme, happiness to the extreme, beauty to the extreme, warm tears filled her eyes, but she still didn't open her eyes, just let the hot tears slide down from the depths of her closed eyes.

She understood, understood the call of the melody, understood the resonance of the lyrics, and understood Lan Li's consolation. At this moment, she really understood, as if she had touched her own soul. It's been a long time, it's been a long time.
