A clean and clear white shirt, a simple and rustic acoustic guitar, a warm and sparse dim light, and a small stage without embellishment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was nothing superfluous, but Heather couldn't take her eyes off it, and couldn't take her eyes off the figure bathed in the light, as if the world outside the spotlight had fallen into darkness and silence.

Everything was magnified to the extreme, but it was scaled down to the extreme, and she could clearly see the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, the vigorous and powerful fingers, and even the trajectory of the musical notes. Inexplicably, the vision was blurred.

The cheerful guitar strings made the dust flying under the light jump, dancing with the joy and happiness in Lan Li's eyes, as if penetrating the layers of clouds, through the snow, and shuttling through the long winter, the first rays of sunlight sprinkled down, breaking the earth, announcing the arrival of spring, and in an instant, everything recovered.

The whole pioneer village became brighter.

"Stick to each other, when you go alone, the future will be full of thorns, if you lose your faith, I will show you the way home, you just need to know that I will stand where I am, and when the world is barren and empty, I will stay where I am. ”

Heather sat stunned in place, the graceful lyrics, like bubbling spring water flowing in her ears, but set off turbulent waves in the depths of her heart. He knows, he knows.

He knew that she was alone, groping aimlessly in the dark, he knew that she was so frightened and scared alone, that the long winter seemed to never see the end, and that she could not find the way forward, that she was tired, that she was panicked, that she was in pain, and that there was a moment when she really wanted to give up.

But he always stood where he was, never and will not leave.

"I will tell you: my dear, don't worry anymore, when the world is cold, when the heart is heavy, I will embrace warmly, never let go, never, until the blood dries up, I will not leave an inch, don't worry anymore, I firmly believe that we will move forward bravely. ”

She wasn't alone, and she finally knew that she wasn't alone.

Lonely to the extreme, dark to the extreme, dazed to the extreme, she has even given up screaming, the huge world is left alone, no one can hear her cry for help, and no one can understand her pain. Suddenly, I found that at the end of the horizon, there were still people who never left.

Bitterness and sweetness, sorrow and happiness, pain and joy, mixed and contradictory emotions surged up at the same time, and the chest was like a lump of cotton, and I couldn't breathe.

"Lately, I've been worried about my mistakes and nightmares, but I've heard your call, 'I will stand where I am, and even if the world is barren and empty, I will stay where I am.'" ’”

Derek was suddenly stunned, and even before he realized it, tears had blurred his vision, and the surging emotions were almost breathless.

The weight on his shoulders almost crushed him, and he was always worried that he wasn't doing well enough, that he was missing out on Heather's life, that his existing happiness was suddenly gone, but the tighter he clenched his hands, the faster the sand on his fingertips slid down, and the unattainable nothingness almost swallowed him like a demon.

"You told me: my dear, don't worry anymore, when the world is cold, when the heart is heavy, I will hug me warmly, never let go, never, until the blood dries up, I will not leave an inch, don't worry anymore, I firmly believe that we will move forward. ”

Derek's gaze fell on Heather's thin shoulders, as thin as if they would go with a gust of wind, and his long, silky hair was slightly messy over his shoulders, he was always so clumsy that he couldn't even help Heather tie her hair properly without Ellie's help.

Quietly raised his right hand and tried to put it on the shoulder, but he couldn't help but be timid and retracted suddenly. The tears suddenly collapsed and burst, everything happened so turbulently, he didn't even have time to react, it was already flooding, he hurriedly turned his head, wiped the tears on his cheeks in embarrassment, but couldn't stop it at all.

Lan Li's fingers danced rapidly, the melody gradually rose higher with the flying strings, the mood became more and more cheerful, the voice became more and more full, and the brisk rhythm ran wildly at the peak of the bright sun, as if you could see the trajectory of the light gliding, beautiful.

"I firmly believe that there are no regrets in this life, even if the scars are gone, you don't have to be perfect, no one can do it, you never know where the tide will take us, you never know when the tide will bring separation, but I will stand where I am, when the world is barren and empty. ”

A faint warm current echoed in the chest, shallow happiness rose on the corners of the mouth, bitterness, sadness and pain gradually disappeared, tears still could not stop, but on the tip of the tongue, it was full of sweetness, as if the fog was lifted, the whole world became clear, as if through the layers of darkness, the whole vision was brightened.

Winter is over, and spring is coming.

Heather laughed heartily, but burst into tears, like a fool. Turning her head, she saw her father's embarrassment, and tears were also on his old cheeks, this was the first time she had seen his father cry.

Ever since she fell ill, her father had never shown vulnerability in front of her, not even the slightest, and he had always stood silently behind him, bearing everything, carrying the weight of the whole family, and moving on, faltering, but never stopping.

Derek was so embarrassed that he raised his hand to wipe the tears from his cheeks, but before he could wipe them away, the tears slipped down again, and he himself felt ridiculous, and couldn't help laughing loudly, hiding his embarrassment.

Then Derek saw that Heather raised his hand and wiped the tears from his cheeks for him. The soft little hands and warm touch made Derek stunned, and his eyes touched Heather's translucent eyes, and a resolute light flashed behind the hazy tears, instantly breaking Derek's last line of defense.

Derek turned his head and pressed his palms to prevent the tears from falling again, and the mellow and moving singing voice of Lan Li came to his ears, and the melody was like a golden sun, gathering into a stream, gurgling and illuminating the whole world.

"My dear, don't worry anymore, when the world is cold, when the heart is heavy, I will hug warmly, never let go, never, until the blood dries up, I will not leave an inch, don't worry anymore, I firmly believe that we will move forward bravely. ”

Yes, I am confident that we will move forward. Carry-On.

Taking a deep breath, another deep breath, Derek looked up again. Heather was still smiling and teary as he looked at him, and with a big smile on his face, he leaned over awkwardly, trying to give Heather a hug, but he didn't know what to do, as if he was worried that a little bit of force would crush his thin body.

So, the hug ended up being a pat on the shoulder. The fan-like palm landed lightly on Heather's shoulder. Light, yet heavy.

Heather smiled even more happily, she wasn't alone, she was never alone. Then, Heather opened her arms and gave her father a hug, hard, hard, and hugged her father tightly, this warm embrace, really long gone, but it was the same taste as in memory.

They will continue to move forward. She wouldn't give up, she knew, and neither would her father and mother.

Lily sat still, constantly wiping her tears with a tissue, but she couldn't stop at all, and finally could only wipe them with the palm of her hand, wiping away the tears that had slipped from her eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but rise, wantonly raised.

She took a deep look at Heather and Derek, who were hugging each other tightly, and a look of envy appeared in her eyes.

She was never close to her father, who divorced her mother when she was five years old, and remarried three years later. Later, her father settled in Switzerland, and she and her mother lived in Los Angeles, where they did not see each other a few times a year.

Turning his head, Lily looked at Lan Li in the center of the stage through hazy tears, with a cheerful smile on the corner of his mouth, shallow and faint, like the golden sun sprinkled on a white shirt in the afternoon, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it, and even the halo of the spotlight became a foil.

He is the middle-aged man struggling on the verge of life and death in "Buried Alive", he is the brave and fearless ordinary hero in the screening room, and he is also the bard who writes poems with music on the stage. There are too many mysteries gathered in him, which seem to be displayed to everyone openly, but it seems that nothing can be seen through.

Closing her eyes, she seemed to be able to smell the dry sunshine on Lan Li's body, mixed with a faint woody aroma.

After the performance of the song, Lan Li exhaled softly.

The regret of the previous life and the persistence of this life finally turned into a smile on the corner of the mouth and bloomed wantonly. He is lucky, on the road of life, he is never alone, he has been accompanied by his family in the previous life, and he has friends to follow in this life, so he will not give up easily, he will continue to move forward bravely.

He will achieve his dreams and he will enjoy his life. He firmly believed.

Retracting his thoughts, Lan Li did not leave the stage in a hurry, and then performed three more songs, which announced the end of tonight's performance.

Seeing this, the audience was reluctant and began to chant songs, from "Charlie Boy" to "Cleopatra", and even some people ordered "Your bones", but unfortunately, Lan Li only smiled and expressed his gratitude, and then held the guitar, Shi Shiran left the stage, causing the scene to sigh in chagrin one after another.

After leaving the stage, Lan Li walked towards the table where Heather and the others were. Along the way, the greeting people continued, but Lan Li was able to deal with it, talking and laughing, it seemed that everyone had taken care of it, but the pace did not slow down, and soon arrived at the destination.

After a few polite greetings, Derek and Heather were ready to leave.
