I also raised my hand to look at the part of my arm where the skin was rubbed off, and then smiled and said to Xiao Ai: "I haven't done much for Zhao Mu over the years except for sending some tuition and living expenses to him. Especially in the past two years, he has started to do some part-time jobs, and rarely asks for my money anymore, in fact, he has to pay more than any of us to be admitted to Tsinghua University. ”

"But he's him, you're you, and no matter how much he pays, it's his own fruit, but what will you get?"

I was stunned for a moment, because no one had ever said this in front of me, but I still didn't think about it, so I replied, "I don't understand, why do you have to get it when you give it?" …… Seeing that Zhao Mu can get rid of the same life as us, I am already very satisfied, really! ”

"Can there really be such trust between people?"

I nodded, but I didn't want to explain too much, because there are too few people in this world who grew up like me and Zhao Mu, so they won't understand the feelings between us, and I have always been very firm that this kind of relationship can make me let go of everything unconditionally.

I picked up another spotlight from the ground and climbed the wooden ladder, I wanted to finish the job in half an hour. Until this point, I hadn't bothered to eat lunch, and the afterglow of the setting sun had already reflected everyone I could see so weak.

In the process, I didn't care too much about whether Xiao Ai helped me hold the wooden ladder again, anyway, it took me less time than usual to install the spotlights, and then I left the wooden ladder without any danger, and went to get two working meals that were not distributed at noon.

I sat down by the fountain, handed one of them to Xiao Ai, and said, "If you haven't had dinner yet, let's eat together." ”

Xiao Ai took it from my hand, then opened it and looked at it, it was green pepper shredded potatoes and a chicken leg that was a little dry, she closed the lunch box again, and asked, "Do you usually eat these for your working meals?" ”

"This is very good, there are meat and vegetarian dishes, and seaweed soup."

"Well, you didn't say it, but I ate it before I came."

I guessed that she might not like to eat the leftovers, so I didn't force her anymore, and then said to her, "You are familiar with the venue, if there is any problem, you can go back to school first, but remember to be there tomorrow morning before 7 o'clock to ...... the wedding site."

She interrupted me: "I don't have anything special to do in the evening, so I'll just sit with you for a while." ”

I finally looked at her and smiled, this is indeed a show of kindness, because it is quite lonely to sit alone in this dusk sunset, especially the wind that refuses to stop blowing by, blowing the balloons on the stage, and blowing the happiness of the newlyweds tomorrow, but also blowing the loneliness of no one in my heart, I don't want to work so hard at all, and I don't want to live so lonely, but what can I change?

Xiao Ai and I looked at each other and smiled, and then she wrapped her arms around her legs, letting the wind blow her hair, and looking out at a small sparkling lake in the distance set by the setting sun.

For the first time, I thought she was so beautiful when she was quiet!

She suddenly turned to me and said, "Do you want to hear me sing?" While I'm in a good mood. ”

"I don't believe you can sing, yesterday the bar owner said that as long as you are willing to sing, we will play all for free next time, and you will not be happy."

"I just don't like singing in bars."

I also looked at her, and saw a trace of anger in her eyes that was not too obvious, and my heart became even more confused, and asked, "Do you have a grudge against the bar, why don't you want to sing in the bar?" ”

"Why do you care so much? If you don't want to listen to it, I just don't sing it. ”

I also feel that my curiosity is a little too heavy, and I want to peep at her ** all the time, which is not appropriate, so I hurriedly and sincerely said: "I don't ask, but I really want to listen to you sing, I really wanted to listen to it when I was in the piano store that day, but unfortunately you didn't open Chrysostom." ”

"Really?"

"It's true."

Xiao Ai finally smiled: "Say, whatever song you want to hear, as long as I can sing, I can satisfy you." ”

I don't think her interest in singing will last long, and she won't necessarily have such interest in the future, so I decided to pick one of my favorite, and said to her: "Eason Chan's "Don't Talk", okay? ”

"I've heard it, but this song is too bad."

I shook my head and replied: "Actually, in my eyes, there is no bad street or niche in songs, let alone noble and vulgar, I just think: In this life, the most fearful thing is to suddenly understand a certain song." ”

"This is the song you suddenly understood?"

"Sort of."

Xiao Ai nodded and replied: "I don't have such an experience, for me, all songs are used to reflect professional standards and exams." ”

I looked at her, only to see that her eyes were bright, there were no impurities, and I thought that this girl who had not yet left college life did not have those emotional experiences that made people feel very painful......

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

I finally smiled and replied, "I just want to tell you that it's best not to have such an experience...... Sing it, I'll listen to it. ”

Xiao Ai wasn't kidding me, she really took out her mobile phone from her pocket, found the lyrics of the song, and after listening to it again, she sang softly in the sound of the fountain trickling: "The dark sea is covered with white moonlight, I look at the sea and don't know where to fly, I hear him telling you that he really likes you, I don't know where to hide, should there be a tacit understanding when I love someone, I thought you knew the secret I hid whenever I looked at you......"

Her voice is really good, the vocal range is also very wide, there is no sense of oppression in the treble area, and the voice change is very smooth, no wonder her classmates gave her such a high evaluation before, she does have a talent in music that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, but the emotion is slightly lacking, but her singing skills are enough to fascinate me, her voice seems to have merged with the blue sky and white clouds above her head, more like the best gift blown by the wind in the evening, So much so that even the employees of the engineering department who were busy making on-site arrangements not far away stopped for a while, just lit a cigarette and listened to her sing......

She ended this song that could make me languishing and sad with a beautiful ending note, I subconsciously swallowed my saliva, and then lowered my head, and naturally remembered all these years with Chen Yi in my heart.

Over the years, we can hug and hug, eat and go shopping together, but we can't fall in love. I know that this stems from the fact that there is no tacit understanding between us to love each other at all, so I can only hide all my love for her as a secret and maintain the existing relationship, but all this changed a few days ago, and we can't even maintain this relationship anymore, because Qiu Zi'an personally came to tell me: how much he likes Chen Yi, and I can only hide it temporarily, or maybe for the rest of my life......

"Jiang Qiao, this is the first time I've sung to a man alone, do you believe it?"

"Who are you bluffing, your vocal teacher from childhood to adulthood, isn't there a man?"

Xiao Ai looked at me with some dissatisfaction: "Why do you always like to question me so much?" I sing to the vocal teacher for the study task, and I sing to you for the ......"

Xiao Ai didn't seem to think of a suitable reason yet, so I smiled and asked, "For what?" ”

"There's no reason, it's just that I suddenly want to sing, and I happen to have a poor worm sitting next to me, even if it's cheap."

I deliberately squeezed and said: "Who wants you to be pitiful, at your level, I can listen to several passages for 5 yuan on the street, and people can also play the guitar, which is much more sincere than you......"

Xiao Ai was in a hurry, reached out and took out the unfinished chicken leg from my lunch box and was about to stuff it into my mouth, I hid and laughed at the same time, and because of the negativity brought by that song, it gradually dissipated......

After a while, we finally stopped, and I said to Xiao Ai again: "Before seven o'clock tomorrow morning, remember to rush to the wedding scene, okay?" ”

"I've never seen you so verbose, didn't I promise you before."

"It doesn't hurt to say it again, I'll say it again later when I send you back to school."

Xiao Ai ignored me, fell silent, and then turned his attention to the scenery outside the resort, and I took advantage of this time to eat my lunch box before the sun had completely set.

Without any warning, she asked me, "Jiang Qiao, do you think you are a single-minded man?" ”

I was a little surprised, and then I said, "I don't know...... But I think I'm going to fall in love with more than one woman. ”

"It's so heartfelt, I thought you would only love Chen Yi alone in your life!"

I laughed again, but I wondered if the word "flower heart" could be used on a man who had nothing. However, I really thought about it: if Chen Yi can marry me, I will be 100% satisfied in this life; If Chen Yi marries someone else, I don't bother to love others anymore, even if I live alone for a few more years, it's nothing, or accept a marriage without love, anyway, I have done so many weddings, and not every couple I have seen is deeply in love with each other. Many of them really chose to compromise in the end for the sake of life and material things.

Xiao Ai finally got up and left the fountain, stood in the setting sun that was about to completely fall, and said to me, "I'm going back to school." ”

I also stood up with her: "I'll send you back." ”

"No, you're not on the way." She didn't wait for me as she spoke, and walked alone towards the resort door.

As I followed her steps, I reminded in a loud voice, "Tomorrow morning, before seven o'clock, if you forget, I can die." ”

"You're not dead, I'm annoyed by you first!"

"Anyway, you can't forget, when this wedding is over, I'll invite you to dinner, whatever you want."

"I really don't like your face that whispers when you ask for help......"

"I can only be a grandson in order to work, not an uncle! …… Grandma, don't make a mistake with me tomorrow, don't ...... me."

"Got it." Xiao Ai answered very perfunctorily, and without even looking back at me, she had already got into a taxi that opened the door for her, and disappeared in an instant under the golden clouds dyed by the setting sun......
