CHAPTER XXXIX
"Bella, I haven't seen you for a day, and you've become pretty again." The noble boy walked politely, and every step was calm and graceful.
"Leon? What happened to you? Is there something wrong? Su Qingjia was a little surprised, slightly didn't know what to do, Carlos made her mind almost unable to run, she forced herself to wake up, and then switched her English and said to the boy.
Leon came from England and came from an extraordinary background, and Louis was close friends with his parents, Leon, which means lion, and it can be seen from his aggressive name that his parents loved him and had high hopes for him.
He was also 16 years old, a student of Curtis Violin and a talented musical artist, and Louis asserted that he would surely achieve something extraordinary.
Leon glanced at the strange blonde boy without a trace, and then said, "Teacher Louis asked me to call you to a concert, I wonder if I have the honor to let you enjoy it?" "Leon spoke in an elegant London accent, and the gentlemanly manners of bending over and reaching out were perfect.
Su Qingjia looked at the little golden retriever with his head down, and apologized to Leon: "I'm sorry, Leon, my friend is here today and can't go to the concert, thank you, and say sorry to the teacher on my behalf." β
"Bella, the orchestra played this time is very good." Leon said gently, "I'm sure you'll get something, so let's go, I still have a few tickets, you can take your friends with you." β
Su Qingjia shook his head and refused directly, "Leon, thank you for your kindness, I'm still ......"
Carlos interrupted her and said, "Bella, my vacation is over, I have to leave later, I can't go to eat the snacks you made, you better go with him." β
The young man's words made Su Qingjia not react for a while, and the sourness in her heart spread little by little, "Are you going back?" But I ...... We ......"
"I'm going back to training soon, Bella, don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Carlos resisted the impulse, then took a few steps back and looked towards Leon, and the two exchanged a look, "Goodbye Bella." β
The little golden retriever's legs were very long, his steps were very big, and he walked far away after a while, Su Qingjia couldn't hold back anymore and called Carlos: "Carlos, you wait-"
Carlos stopped, he looked back, the black-haired girl ran over, the skirt of the phoenix flower swayed in the wind in the most beautiful gesture, the long hair was constantly fluttering, and the hair was the most beautiful curvature.
Su Qingjia looked at him and said, "Carlos, I haven't said goodbye to you yet." β
Carlos didn't know how to answer, he lowered his head, his eyes shining.
The girl leaned over suddenly, and the fresh and elegant fragrance overwhelmed him.
"Goodbye Carlos, and I wish you a nice trip." Su Qingjia hugged him, then let go, walked to Leon's side, and waved at him as he walked.
Carlos touched the clothes on his chest, a little cold.
Far away, Carlos couldn't see the expression of the noble boy, and he was a little sweet and a little nervous in his heart.
Leon opened the door, "Please." "Before closing, he looked over to Carlos, and sometimes, needless to say, men are already fighting each other, but he is confident that he won't lose.
Carlos walked around the entrance of Curtis College, didn't go in, looked at it from a distance for a while, and then.
Unlike the humble La Masia, with its simple artificial turf, Curtiss is full of flowing and static beauty, and the architecture is unique.
It's like the gap between him and Bella.
The boy in the expensive suit looked at him and said that he couldn't climb such a girl.
Back at the hotel, Carlos changed his clothes, this is Oleg's favorite dress for girls, jeans and white shirt, Garcia said that he can play the rich man in the movie.
But today, he met a real wealthy and noble son, and he knew that it was different.
But he won't lose, won't.
After packing his bags, Carlos went to the airport, he bought a ticket back to Spain in the evening, and two days before the end of his vacation, he lied to Bella.
After getting up yesterday, he patiently combed his hair to make himself look more sunny and handsome, and then he took the address given by Ming Ling and inquired all the way.
The girl had grown up, and the beautiful appearance was more like a dream, and he thought about his Bella, and found that she was even more beautiful than he imagined.
Over the years, Bella's phone has not been changed, he knows, he also knows that on Bella's birthday last year, she waited for a long time to receive his blessing, she cried so much, he didn't see it with his own eyes, but when he heard her mother say this, he remembered the trembling roses that hit the rain, and his heart felt like it had been poked into it by an iron nail, gurgling and gurgling with black blood.
But he still didn't dare to talk to the girl on the phone, crossing the distance of nine time zones, he was afraid that she would hear his crying on the phone.
He hopes that in the girl's heart, he will always be strong and can shelter her from ups and downs.
Carlos got on the plane alone again, and outside the cabin, he looked back at the bustling city again, the lights flickering.
Just as a girl is growing, he's changing, Carlos touches the tattoo on his chest, he's learned to lie, he's learned to cover up his pain.
Two hundred euros a week is not a high salary, but he will do everything to buy his girl her favorite bracelet, he doesn't want her to cry for him, all the pressure and darkness, he has to bear alone.
He believes that the U19 will be his best springboard, he will go to the top and he will be the best footballer.
Although the time of meeting was short, it was still suffocating in beauty, and he also believed that the day he was looking forward to would not be far away.
*
At the concert, Su Qingjia was a little uneasy, this is an orchestra she likes very much, internationally renowned, and its chief pianist is also a very famous genius, but at this time, no amount of beautiful music can soothe her troubled heart.
The brain is full of Carlos's back when he left, the slightly gray sky and his blue-gray eyes are like an elegy, Su Qingjia forced himself not to think about it, but the heart in his chest seemed to be entangled by a thread, he couldn't move, and when he beat violently, he twitched and tightened more and more.
Seeing Carlos today, Su Qingjia was really happy, he has grown taller, he has become more handsome, his voice has become magnetic, the appearance of him wearing a white shirt makes her heart flutter, it seems that she has returned to the green years of her youth, and a look can make a flower bloom incomparably brightly.
Maybe there is really an inexplicable force in the world that is pulling, the gap of two years, how many flashes of hair are hurried between the white horses, but when that person is really standing in front of you, you realize that no matter how long it has been, as long as a friendly smile, the gap is gone.
She asked her mother to tell Carlos and Rexage her address and telephone number, and during that time she would be the first to go downstairs every day as soon as the phone rang, but after waiting for a long time, she did not wait for that call, and even a greeting was a luxury. She kept reassuring herself that maybe Carlos was not available and was busy training; Maybe it's because the little golden retriever is preparing for the exam, he is not good at literature, and he must be tutoring; It's also possible that the little golden retriever is saving money, after all, transoceanic calls are very expensive.
But after a long time, she knew that those excuses were always excuses.
She has no position or authority to ask Carlos to do anything for her, she is just a small episode in his life, and maybe after that, there will be no trace of it again.
As the poem says-
"I'm not a returnee, I'm a passerby."
Su Qingjia put the photo in a plain carved frame, put it on the bedside table, and at night, she would say good night to the photo, and then say good morning to it in the morning.
Through the glass shell, Su Qingjia put it to her ear, and she seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat of the deep memory, in the cool night, in the young man's hot chest.
On her birthday, Louis threw her a big party at the villa, and she received a lot of gifts, and Leon gave her a bracelet, a fine diamond chain, like the sparkle of the Milky Way.
That night, she hadn't fallen asleep, and she really didn't think about the boy, remembering that he had brought her beautiful silver chains through the winter rain, that he had scrambled to cut cakes with her, that he would blush shyly and give her a hug.
She waited and waited until the early hours of the morning, and in the evening in Spain, there was no bell ringing.
She remembered what Lilith had said to herβ
You are a lucky girl, but also wish you were a smart girl.
Su Qingjia tasted bitter tears falling into her mouth, she was a little scared, the teenager had forgotten her, on this land where it would snow in winter, she missed the sunshine of Barcelona immensely.
The next day, she returned the bracelet Leon had sent him, knowing that Leon was courting her, but she didn't want to accept it.
She knew, perhaps, that boy had unconsciously lived in the bottom of her heart, but she lacked the courage to admit it.
Before I knew it, the orchestra's performance had ended, and they had already come out to thank the curtain three times, but Su Qingjia didn't feel it at all, and applauded with Louis sluggishly.
She was in a trance, as if time was starting to turn back, back to the days when she applauded him for his goal at La Masia, the blonde boy sweating and his jersey and screaming for him.
Luis didn't drive, and they went back in Leon's car.
The gentle sixteen-year-old boy was polite, and Louis admired the humble genius violinist, and the two exchanged their feelings about the concert along the way, and when asked about Su Qingjia, she passed it perfunctorily, and the two were also human spirits, so they couldn't see Su Qingjia's absent-mindedness, so they changed the topic.
When she got out of the car, Leon stopped her, and Louis gave Leon a playful look and silently left first.
