Many years later, Tong Meng can still clearly remember that day, that happy and romantic coming-of-age ceremony. Aunt Hou Yeli and her two relatives were by her side, and she also received a call from Cambridge University during the dinner, and the person who spoke to her was Professor Hogg, who was famous all over the world. She remembered every word he uttered on the phone:

"Hello, Tong Meng, please forgive me for this late call, I specially arranged it on this special day, in order to be able to say 'Happy Birthday' to you. Based on your excellent results and the recommendation of that distinguished friend, I can congratulate you on your admission to the Cambridge School of Architecture. ”

Tong Meng was still curious about the identity of the distinguished friend that Professor Hogg had mentioned, but Professor Hogg only told her that she would definitely know about it later.

Yes, it was a day that she will never forget, she remembers the wind of that day, remembers the moon of that day, remembers how her family, teachers and invited classmates cut the cake together, and the photographer permanently recorded that scene in the photo before blowing out the candles. But she couldn't remember why she insisted on leaving an empty seat on her right-hand side that day.

Who is it for?

Why do you always feel that there is one less person around you, an extremely important person?

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Tong Meng tossed and turned, and a vague figure kept appearing in her mind, she got up and walked to the yard. Sitting under the begonia tree, in the starlight, I opened the drawing book and waved the animation pen on the paper, and after a while, the face of the man in the windbreaker was blurred and jumped on the paper again.

"Who are you?" asked Tong Meng softly in the cool night breeze.

"Are you asking me?"

Tong Meng suspected that it was his auditory hallucination, but he still raised his head hesitantly. But a man in a white trench coat really appeared in front of him, coming from the starry night, walking like flying, with the shining starlight and the gentle breeze, getting closer and closer to himself, his outline was exactly the same as on the painting, his face became clearer and clearer, and Tong Meng stood up in shock.

"Who are you?"

"Li Bai. ”

"Li Bai?" was just two words, and Tong Meng seemed to have been reading it for a long time.

"I'm sorry, as your patron saint, I'm late today...... It should be too late. Li Bai looked down at the watch on his wrist, and the hurried second hand had just started to run the last lap of the day, so he held up the invitation card of Tong Meng, "Happy birthday." ”

Tong Meng forgot to speak for a while, the invitation was indeed made by herself, but she couldn't remember when it was given to him. She looked at Li Bai in surprise, she had never seen such a good-looking man, in the ancient poem, "Zongzhi is a chic and beautiful young man, looking at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind." "That's it.

"Li Bai?" Tong Meng said silently while reciting the name in his heart, "Is it him who Aunt Li met 12 years ago?"

"Are you really my Patronus?"

Li Bai smiled and nodded: "What else do you want today?"

"When I was very young, I knew not to make vows to gods or angels. ”

Li Bai smiled again, and suddenly on a whim, he completely repeated the story of the child's dream back then: "Once during a holiday in heaven, an angel came to the world, and in order to resolve his boredom, he said to a girl he met, I can fulfill one of your wishes, 'power, money, beauty, love, ......' I can help you realize whatever you want." The girl thought about it carefully and said that she wanted to hear the angel say goodnight to her every day before going to bed. The angel was surprised and thought that the girl's wish was too simple, but he didn't think much of it and agreed in one bite. The girl was looking forward to the fulfillment of her wishes, and sure enough, every night after that, the angel said good night to her as promised, and as the days passed, the angel began to busy himself with his own affairs, and gradually he stopped saying good night to the girl, and every night, the girl waited for her good night with great anticipation, and every night she would fall asleep in the loss. After a long time, it was the day of the holiday in heaven, and a group of angels came to the earth, and they said to the girl, we can each of us help you fulfill a wish, 'power, money, beauty, love, ......', and the girl never said her wish again, she knew that her wish, no matter how simple, was too simple for others to fulfill, even if it was an angel. ”

"How do you know this story?"

"You told me that. Li Bai admitted.

"But today, I would like to make a wish to you. Tong Meng blurted out.

"When your wish comes true, you will forget all this, are you still willing?"

Tong Meng asked rhetorically: "It's like a dream, will you come back to reality when you wake up?"

Li Bai glanced at himself on the drawing paper, shook his head and said, "Dreams may be remembered, but the wishes made will be completely forgotten." ”

Tong Meng looked up at Li Bai's eyes, his eyes were as clear as water, reflecting the white moonlight tonight, the night was slightly cool, the trees were ghosted, and herself, and at the end she nodded firmly, "I am willing, I want to see the most beautiful aurora in the world." ”

Li Bai nodded, stretched out his right hand to take Tong Meng's hand, and turned the deacon spinning top with his left hand: "Don't be afraid, close your eyes!"

Tong Meng closed his eyes, his body suddenly lightened, and he felt as if he was flying against the wind, and after a while, the magnetic voice sounded in his ears again: "Open your eyes." ”

Tong Meng shook his head vigorously, "I woke up as soon as I opened my eyes." ”

"And what do you think of the aurora?"

Tong Meng slowly opened her eyes, full of brilliant and beautiful brilliance, colorful, beautiful, that is no colored pen can paint such a dazzling light, like fireworks, like clouds, magnificent and spectacular, graceful and magical, she couldn't help but shed tears: "Where is this?"

"Alaska...... Are you crying?"

Tong Meng smiled and shook his head: "I haven't cried for a long time, it seems that I learned to cry before I can remember, when I am wronged and lost, I will shed tears in order to get one more toy and hear one more bedtime story." But when I was six years old, my parents suddenly left me, and I learned to force tears back into my eyes, growth is to make people put on armor, not afraid of the future, growth is to make people full of hope, I believe that one day I can see the light. ”

Li Bai looked at Tong Meng distressedly, and heard that stubborn voice sound again:

"I know why I forgot about it after I got my wish. ”

"Why?"

"Don't forget me, I'm afraid I'll show off...... But at any time, don't show off your happiness, otherwise you will be remembered by the god of time, it is said that he is hidden in the city during the day, and he will be ready to move at night, no matter how strict you guard, the happy memory will be reduced to his supper. ”

Li Bai nodded, and said silently in his heart: "Today is the last day I will protect you." ”
