Chapter 3 He said it was a blood flower
After school, Yao Ying went to help her mother take care of the business of her small shop, and Lin Shu didn't want to go back to the dormitory alone, so she came to the cherry blossom tree as usual. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThere, it is a secret base that belongs to Lin Shu in the whole school.
Under the cherry blossom trees, there is an abandoned green mailbox. She opened the abandoned mailbox, only to find a book in it called "The City of Lights". There was a small note on it, "Fifteenth birthday gift, I wish Shu'er a happy birthday and a safe life." - Xu Xinrui".
Lin Shu smiled, he didn't remember his birthday, and it was really hard for him to remember it. I don't know much about Xu Xinrui and Lin Shu, and knowing him is an accident. That year, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, Lin Shu came here as usual, but found Xu Xinrui standing under the tree. He stood there, staring intently at his cherry blossoms, as if there was only one person and one flower left in the world. There was a coolness in those eyes, I don't know if it was because of the cold in the rainy air in those days, or because the person's eyes were cold. He frowned slightly, and his focused eyes were filled with longing, very thick and thick. He must be thinking about someone, right? Lin Shu thought so, so she didn't want to disturb him, just watched. The two men stood like this until the rain began to fall. He turned around, propped up the umbrella in his hand, and walked in the direction of Lin Shu. Only then did Lin Shu notice the oil-paper umbrella, on which was painted a picture of the rain in the alleys of the south of the Yangtze River. He approached and held the umbrella above Lin Shu's head.
"The rain in the alleys of Jiangnan has stopped. The umbrella incense has been exhausted, the wind on the bridge hits, and the river under the bridge is urgent. Under the moon, the sheng flute is gone. Lin Shu looked at the painting a little distracted, and inadvertently said a machine.
He chuckled, "Qinghe Limei is thousands of green. Outside the tassel long pavilion path, the piano phoneme is played, and the boya is flowing water, where is the sub-period?"
Lin Shu looked at him and chuckled. "This umbrella is so beautiful, just now I thought it was an oil-paper umbrella from a distance, but now it seems that it should be made of very valuable materials, otherwise I can't paint such a beautiful painting." ā
"Thank you, it's rare to meet a woman like you who knows such ancient words in an era like this. ā
Lin Shu smiled, but when Xu Xinrui turned his head, he noticed the other painting behind the umbrella, the blood-colored petals, which looked particularly charming after being stained with raindrops, but that flower, isn't it the flower printed on his wrist? "What is the name of the flower on your umbrella? It seems to be embroidered." ā
Xu Xinrui turned the painting around, looked at it, and there was more tenderness in his eyes, "It's called Xueqin, it is the most beautiful flower in my hometown, and the Xueqin on this umbrella is indeed embroidered, you really have a good eye." My name is Xu Xinrui, and I'm in high school, what about you?"
"Lin Shu. Middle School. ā
Since then, it seems to have become a base for two people. However, Lin Shu never cared, because of Xu Xinrui's existence, she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. I don't know if it's because he has an umbrella embroidered with blood, or because the two have a tacit understanding in poetry.
Because the junior high school and the high school are separated, Lin Shu has never seen Xu Xinrui at school. In fact, Lin Shu didn't understand at first that Xu Xinrui's writing would definitely be popular in the school if he submitted the school magazine, but he never seemed to have published it. I didn't know until I got along for a long time, because Xu Xinrui is the kind of person who doesn't like to be noticed.
Lin Shu took the book back to the dormitory, and then lay on the bed and looked at the book, and when Yao Ying came back at night, the whole person was like a thinker.
"What's wrong, what's in your hand?" asked Lin Shu.
Yao Ying handed the things in her hand to Lin Shu, "Senior Gu Chen's invitation letter said that his birthday was coming, and he wanted to invite the two of us to have a meal with his roommate on that day."
Lin Shu looked at the invitation, since they met on the day of the opening ceremony, Senior Gu Chen and the two of them walked relatively closely, and occasionally greeted each other.
"Isn't it great to get to know more seniors, which will help you enter the high school student union in the future. ā
"Even so, I always feel that our relationship is not good enough to be invited, and it is really uneasy to invite those princesses who are sick to treat us as such a high-ranking girl. ā
"I guess he doesn't like it too much. ā
"Well, yes, although Senior Gu Chen is friendly, he is really rejecting people many times. Shu'er, a bit like you."
"If I refuse you, it's fine."
"That's, it's still my sister-in-law."
Yao Ying sat on the bed and lay down.
"But what kind of gift should I give? People like Gu Chen don't lack anything. Mom, help me, I hate this kind of thing the most. Shu'er, why don't we send him a birthday song then?"
"Are you sure you don't scare away your roommates if you keep your voice open," Lin Shu quipped.
"Shu'er, how can you be so gentle to others, they are still very gentle. ā
"Stop, you better not release your old nature. ā
Yao Ying buried her head in the quilt, wanting to cry without tears. Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Lin Shu finally compromised.
"Okay, I'll go with you to buy it then."
Yao Ying jumped three feet high, "Really? ā
Lin Shu looked up at Yao Ying, who was 1.65 meters tall, and had a feeling of being deceived.
"Yao Ying, are you sure that it wasn't you who was lying on the bed and crying just now?"
Yao Ying deliberately coughed dryly, "That, I remember that I still have a lot of homework, so I'll go to the library first." Bye. ā
watched Yao Ying disappear into the doorway, faster than a rabbit. Lin Shu shook her head helplessly, maybe for Yao Ying, who has always bravely protected herself, she is willing to spoil her with everything she has. She lost her father since she was a child, and she has been running around with her mother, perhaps because of the lack of her father's protection, Yao Ying has always been so brave to live, protecting her mother and protecting Lin Shu.
Lin Shu doesn't like to talk to strangers, let alone get into quarrels or fights. No matter who bullied Lin Shu from childhood to adulthood, Yao Ying would knock the other party down without saying a word. Sometimes Yao Ying didn't dare to go home after a fight, for fear that her mother would blame her again. Lin Shu can always find her under the stone bridge and give her medicine. Then take Yao Ying home, and then intercede for Yao Ying with Aunt Yao Xiaozhi. Yao Ying always said that Lin Shu must be an angel sent by God to save her.
At the door of Yiyu's hut, Yao Ying saw Lin Shu hurriedly beckoning. "Why did you come, I'm going to be late".
"There are too many people in the bookstore today, and there is a delay."
"Hurry up and go inside, it looks like it's going to change."
The two walked in, only to find that there was no one in the store today.
"It's strange, Yizhen has always been overcrowded, why is there no one today." Yao Ying felt strange.
Gu Chen saw them beckoning, and Lin Shu saw that there were only Gu Chen and a person sitting with them on their backs in the room.
Lin Shu was a little surprised when she approached, and then smiled, "Why are you here?"
Xu Xinrui pointed at Gu Chen with his eyes, "his roommate."
Yao Ying looked at Xu Xinrui, and then at Lin Shu, "Shu'er, why don't I know this friend of yours."
"You don't know but you know, my literary friend who told you."
Yao Ying seemed to suddenly realize, and found a place to sit down by herself, "Then I know, you also gave Shu'er a birthday gift a few days ago, and that book even I, a person who is not interested in literature, likes to read."
Xu Xinrui nodded politely and slightly, everyone took a seat, and Lin Shu and Yao Ying also gave gifts to Gu Chen.
Yao Ying looked around with a look of disgust.
"Senior Gu Chen, you're too stingy, aren't you known as the richest evergreen handsome guy in our school?
"If I really took a group of people to Huadu Garden, would you like it?" and I remember the last time you said that you often come here", Gu Chen asked rhetorically.
Yao Ying nodded in approval, she really doesn't like others to come to the void, and her mind is important.
"Gu Chen is not stingy today, he has made a scene. Xu Xinrui said with a smile.
Yao Ying opened her mouth wide, "Senior, I'm generous when I get home, so I'll do it to you." After saying that, Yao Ying drank it all, everyone laughed, and they all liked her boldness.
"By the way, haven't the others arrived yet?" Yao Ying asked, seeing that it was only the four of them.
"No, my roommate is only Xinrui".
"I'll go, is the high school so extravagant? I heard that the dormitory building is very large, and there are only two people living in it."
Gu Chen smiled and didn't say anything. Who makes the school have money?
This meal was very casual and not embarrassed because it was not particularly familiar. It's like an old friend who has been reunited for a long time, everyone is very relaxed when they talk and laugh.
It rained not long after eating, and the biggest feature of Yijing Cottage is its rain scene, which is particularly beautiful. Also because of the sound of the wind, the silver wind chimes in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows have been blown all the time, and the crisp bells are like a tune.
Xu Xinrui looked at the silver wind chimes and suddenly spoke, "Shu'er, I'm leaving here." ā
Lin Shu clenched his hands, he had said this matter from a long time ago, saying that he was going to find someone. "Well, will you come back?"
"Yes, but it will take a long time."
Lin Shu raised a smile, "As long as it's not gone, there is a waiting period." Will wait for you to come back".
Xu Xinrui nodded, he knew that Lin Shu didn't like parting, but as long as it wasn't goodbye, she could accept it happily. I don't know if it's because she has the experience of waiting that she can be so calm about waiting.
After Xu Xinrui finished speaking, he left without staying long. Yao Ying also left early because she was worried that her mother didn't take an umbrella at work. Lin Shu looked at the rain outside the window as if she was contemplating something.
"You say, is the rain the tears of the sky, or the tears of angels?"
Lin Shu's sudden question surprised Gu Chen, "It's all there."
"Angels are so happy, why do they cry?"
"Because there was a kind of angel, the broken-winged angels, who had wings but could not fly, and wept because of their sorrow, God made them a city of angels, that they might live happily. ā
"So, am I a Broken Winged Angel?"
Gu Chen looked at Lin Shu and didn't know how to answer, she didn't understand what Lin Shu was referring to.
"Shall I have a city, a city of angels?"
"Yes", this time Gu Chen answered in the affirmative.
Lin Shu turned around and smiled, "Thank you, Gu Chen."
Regarding the missing word senior, Gu Chen noticed but didn't ask, which seemed to be more like a friend.
As for Lin Shu, Gu Chen may have left an impression on her. Although many people say that he is cold, Lin Shu feels that he is warm. I think he is the same friend as Xinrui, so it is more convenient to call him by name.
