086 Pure simplicity
Lan Li was telling the truth, he really didn't care about "Thor". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the previous life, Thor's role was originally in Chris's hands, and he also decided to refuse the script of "Thor" early on, and if Chris asked, he didn't mind sharing the script at all.
What really disappointed Lan Li was Chris. He thought they were friends.
Maybe not a close friend, but at least a regular friend. They haven't been together for a long time as roommates, but the two of them get along very well, there has never been any conflict, and the division of labor and cooperation in ordinary life is also discussed, or rather, they are more familiar than ordinary friends, after all, they are roommates who live under the same roof, and they are roommates who have the same dream of being an actor. At least, it shouldn't be a stranger.
Although he is a human being in two lives, he really has not much experience in dealing with people.
In the previous life, the first half of his life was focused on his mother's schedule, and even the time to go to the toilet was planned, let alone meeting new people, and the second half of his life was spent in a hospital bed/, and the only opportunity to meet friends was the patient in the next bed, and then watched them come and go, and he was the only one who stayed where he was.
Friend is not an unfamiliar word for Lan Li, but it always has a freshness. Perhaps, compared to the heat of love and the purity of family affection, friendship seems to be more polite and alienated, but friendship is an eternal haven, accompanying everyone through different stages of life, from birth to death, waiting for the distance not far away, but never leaving.
He thought he and Chris were friends, but apparently, he was wrong.
Perhaps, in Vanity Fair, friendship is different after all.
After leaving home, Lan Li originally planned to go to the supermarket to find a corner to sit in, but then he realized that what he needed now was not a quiet moment that belonged to one person. So, he made it all the way to Mount Sinai Hospital.
Many people don't like hospitals, in fact, Lan Li doesn't like them either, but in fact, after getting used to the ups and downs of life and death in hospitals, you can feel the peace that belongs here, because this is a place where miracles are produced.
It is true that there is always the end of life, but at the same time there is a new birth, and it is true that there is always hope that is lost, but at the same time there is hope. Compared with the darkness, Lan Li always likes the sunlight in the hospital more, thin but warm, which can make people happy that they are still healthy, can make people happy that they have escaped the sickle of death, and can make people continue to hope for tomorrow.
As soon as I walked into the inpatient building, the sound of frolicking whistled by, and a group of little ones chirped and ran in the direction of the backyard, "Lan Li!", "Hey, buddy", "Big handsome guy...... The children saw Lan Li, who didn't have time to come in, and greeted them one after another.
"Catherine!" "George!" "Oh, isn't this Stephanie?" "Erik, you look taller!" "Alex, slow down, slow down, don't run too fast." “
Lan Li squatted down and raised his hands high, and the children automatically hit his palms when they passed by, Lan Li could accurately call out the names of each child, and greeted everyone happily, and the smile involuntarily climbed up the corner of his mouth, "Hey, see who this is? stranger?" When he saw the new face, Lan Li still greeted with a smile, and his brisk tone jumped in the sunset that was gradually sinking westward.
"Anita, what's going on?" Behind the children, Anita Tunisha, the head nurse, also followed the team with small steps, and Lan Li quickly stopped her and asked.
Anita grabbed Lan Li's arm and beckoned him to go with him, "It's time for the group chorus, let's go outside today, hurry, join us." Anita had a big smile on her face, "You came just in time, he handed over the guitar to you, we were worried just now, Kelly is not the best candidate." ”
Lan Li's footsteps subconsciously followed, and after hearing the explanation, he pointed in the direction of the elevator, "You go first, I'll go upstairs to visit Heather, and then I'll join you." ”
Mount Sinai is a children's hospital, and every once in a while, children are brought together to celebrate holidays, or to play in groups, or to outdoor activities, to bring as much laughter as possible to the children, hoping that the disease will not even deprive them of their childhood.
However, there are still some children who are not able to participate in these activities, in addition to those who need to be housed in an intensive care unit, and there are many children who are physically not allowed to do so, such as Heather Cross. In this case, after consulting the doctor, parents will use a wheelchair to push their child to join the group.
Lan Li wasn't sure what Heather's condition was and if she would like to go downstairs to join the event, so she needed to go upstairs to confirm.
"The Crosses are here, and they just pushed Heather into the backyard. Anita explained simply and quickly, and Lan Li suddenly realized, did not continue to refuse, and walked out with the children's steps.
The sunset on the horizon was still blazing, the whole courtyard was reflected in bright orange red, and the laughter of children passed through the air, pure and simple, without any disguise, without any calculation, without any burden, just simple, cheerful, wanton laughter.
The melancholy and loss in her heart were instantly thrown aside, and Lan Li carried the guitar on her back and joined the ranks of the children, enjoying the moment, enjoying the music and childhood.
"Lan Li, 'Hey, Soul-Sister', come on, come on 'Life Girl'. The cheerful shouts from the crowd shouted, and when they looked at the voice, it was Alex Ricky's little guy, sweating profusely and shouting, his ruddy face seemed to be a little abnormal, and the nurse standing next to him stepped forward and grabbed Alex's arm, "Little one, you can't be so excited." ”
Lan Li raised his chin at Alex, "Dude, which girl do you want to confess to?" Tell me, I'll do it for you." ”
"Hey, Life Girl" is the title track of the new album premiere released by alternative rock band Train late last year, and this single combines folk and rock styles to tell the story of a man confessing to his beloved girl. When it was first released, the single was inconspicuous, but after more than half a year of hitting, it became very popular, and its ranking on the Billboard continued to climb, and just last week, it reached an incredible third place, setting a new high.
It can be said that this song has been one of the hottest singles on major radio stations recently. Don't look at Alex's young age, apparently the radio is not less listened to.
The ridicule made the children laugh, but Alex was not at all inhibited, and said in a loud voice, "Kelly, I want to confess to Kelly!"
Kelly-Patton, a new nurse at the hospital this year, is just twenty-four years old. Originally, she was the guitarist in charge of today's collective chorus, but after Lan Li came, the guitar responsibility changed hands, and Kelly was responsible for taking care of the children on the side.
Hearing such a high-profile confession, Kelly wrinkled her nose at Alex, as if expressing her dissatisfaction, but before she could speak, the strings of the guitar next to her had already sounded, and Lan Li outlined the strings and sang loudly, "Hey...... Hey, yes......" All the children sang along to the catchy melody, and Kelly glanced at Lan Li helplessly.
Lan Li shrugged his shoulders, showed a big smile, and turned back to greet the children, all of whom followed Lan Li in a long queue like a train. I saw Lan Li playing the guitar while walking around Kelly, and soon Kelly was surrounded by the children, Alex chased after her, followed Lan Li with her head up, raised her head and chest, and sang loudly, "Hey, the girl in my life, I don't want to miss anything you do, just tonight." ”
The atmosphere was not lively.
Seeing everyone's coaxing, Kelly finally gave up resistance, took the initiative to walk to Alex, issued an invitation, and then the two of them danced in the center. The nurse's white uniform fluttered gently, and Alex's red face showed the happiest smile in the world.
At this time, the children were even more excited, clapping their hands and beating the rhythm, singing hoarsely, so that the songs began to be out of tune, like a burnt vinyl record, the distorted tone echoed in the sun, but Lan Li didn't care, the smile on his face rose with the children's dance steps, and his body involuntarily began to beat the beat, joining everyone in the dance.
"Alright, alright, today's event should be over. After singing the song "Hey, Life Girl", Anita was reluctant to do so, but she had to come up and interrupt everyone's revelry, "Let's applaud Kelly and Alex!"
Lan Li was the first to raise her hands in the air and cheered, and the other children did the same, cheering loudly, "Oh yes!"
Alex turned his head and cast his gaze, Lan Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded secretly in affirmation, and then saw Alex make a distinguished knightly salute in a serious manner, expressing his respect.
Kelly opened her mouth in surprise, but couldn't help but chuckle softly, and then she pinched the hem of her uniform and politely stepped back and bowed slightly in return.
Everyone collectively coaxed, Alex felt shy, and ran to Lan Li's side with a smoke, Lan Li squatted down and raised his right hand, Alex jumped up directly, hit Lan Li's right palm hard, and then screamed with great excitement and ran towards the hospital building.
Standing up straight, Lan Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the thirty-minute collective chorus was even more physically exhausting than a sixty-minute performance in the pioneer village. A light breeze blew, and it was suddenly much cooler, and then Lan Li saw the kite in the air, soaring wantonly under the bright sky, hula, hula, hula, dragging its long tail, embracing the wind of freedom.
It was a butterfly kite, the one Lan Li had left in Heather's ward.
