Chapter 24: The Inevitable Alienation
The world is round, but life is flat, just like a road, you choose to move forward, you give up backward, you choose left, you give up right, you gain some at the same time, but also lose some correspondingly, between gain and loss, it is difficult to take into account - Yang Alin
During Yang Alin's days in Jinmen, Chen Lingrui also went, and when Yang Alin focused on Gu Meng, Chen Lingrui also put his mind on Yang Alin. In the sight that Yang Alin didn't know and didn't pay attention to, Chen Lingrui also experienced Yang Alin's gloom and sadness. There is a saying that the most precious thing in the world is not what cannot be obtained and what has been lost, but the happiness that can be grasped now. Some people even say, "A feather in the hand is as strong as a bird in the air." Chen Lingrui regarded herself as Yang Alin's feathers, but Yang Alin had been looking for the bird in the air, Chen Lingrui couldn't tell Yang Alin about her sorrows, and she could only bear it herself. Yang Alin didn't know anything about this.
The school poetry recitation competition began, and Yang Alin was recommended by his classmates to participate, and even when the upcoming competition came, he didn't get any information about the competition. He received a notice the day before the start of the game, and he responded with a smile, this is really a duck on the shelf, but he is not scared, he remembers the poems, but he doesn't know how to play. When Chen Lingrui came to him, he heard that Yang Alin was going to participate in the competition, and he was very looking forward to it, saying that he would definitely come to cheer.
At the beginning of the game, whenever the contestants came out, the cheerleaders kept shouting, Yang Alin saw it and thought to himself, no one in the class prepared any cheerleaders for him, and if he appeared coldly, he might become school news. Several students' speeches had their own characteristics, and the performances were vivid, even impassioned, deep and powerful, and Yang Alin said that the pressure was great. Yang Alin appeared, and a row of girls shouted "Yang Alin, come on, Yang Alin, come on." Yang Alin saw the figure of Chen Lingrui in the cheerleading team, and his heart was happy. He recited in a low voice, "
How to make you meet me
In my most beautiful moments
for this
I have been praying before the Buddha for 500 years
Ask it to make us a dust bond
The Buddha then turned me into a tree
Grow by the side of the road where you must pass
Flowers bloom discreetly in the sun
The flowers are the hope of my past life
When you approach
Please listen carefully
The trembling leaves are the enthusiasm I am waiting for
And you finally walk by in defiance
Falling to the ground behind you
Friend, that's not petals
It's my withered heart."
Yang Alin's recitation hit Chen Lingrui, as if he was whispering in Chen Lingrui's ear, Chen Lingrui suddenly lost his way and didn't know where to go. Yang Alin's performance was not unanimously praised by the judges at the end of his performance, probably because his performance was decent and not outstanding, and he didn't even make the cut. Yang Alin was not annoyed, because he was not fully prepared, his ability to recite poetry was not outstanding, and he had not been tempered by wind and rain, how could he succeed casually. After he was eliminated, he walked off the stage and looked at Chen Lingrui, who was in a daze, and walked out of the auditorium. Chen Lingrui came to her senses, saw that the game was over, and didn't ask about the results of the game, so she and Yang Alin sat and talked under the gazebo by the lake on the campus of Jinghua University. The water of the lake is sparkling and crystal clear, swimming fish come and go, weeping willows on the shore, and the cool breeze blows the clothes. Chen Lingrui asked coldly: "Alin, are you going to fall in love at school?" Yang Alin said categorically, "Don't prepare, why do you ask this?" Chen Lingrui asked urgently, "Do you have someone you like?" Yang Alin was silent and did not answer immediately, thinking of Xiaomeng, he said, "Yes." Chen Lingrui asked slyly, "Is it that Gu Meng from Jinmen University?" Yang Alin was said in one mouth, and he didn't deny it, he looked at Chen Lingrui's moving eyes, couldn't speak, and lowered his head. After Chen Lingrui finished speaking, he stood up and left without saying goodbye, Yang Alin watched Chen Lingrui's figure slowly disappear and did not chase after him. There was a feeling of loss in my heart.
When pursuing, there are often many, many temptations outside the goal, shaking the determination to move forward, and even feeling that these visible temptations are more realistic and convincing than the long-lasting goal, but do you still remember the original intention at that time? Yang Alin doesn't know where the future is, but he thinks that the sky will live up to his wishes, and he has been relying on tenacity and hard work to get what he wants, as for the result, let the years prove it.
Chen Lingrui returned to Jinghua Technology and Business University, thinking stupidly on the bed in the dormitory, she was also confused, she felt wronged and wanted to cry. But I don't know where my grievances are and why I'm crying. At this time, the phone rang, and the younger brother heard the crying sister hurriedly asking what was wrong, Chen Lingrui shook her head and said that it was okay and hung up the phone. Chen Shao was hung up on the phone, wondering if his sister was being bullied, so he asked people to investigate, and as a result, he understood the relationship between Yang Alin, Gu Meng and his sister. He felt that Yang Alin was really underwhelmed, with such a good girlfriend as his sister, he was not satisfied with hooking up with other girls, but thinking that his sister would definitely not allow him to hurt Yang Alin, he decided to go to Jinmen University for a trip.
Said to go, that night I made a car to Jinmen, the next morning morning Gu Meng was waiting in the playground where he was exercising, after Gu Meng came, he quickly walked to her side and said, "Hello, I am Chen Lingrui's younger brother, I came to talk to you about something." Gu Meng didn't ask much when he knew Chen Lingrui, and followed him to a swing in the school and sat on it with him. Chen Shao said, "My sister likes Yang Alin, and Yang Alin likes my sister and likes you at the same time." My sister is very painful, and now you have two choices, one is that my sister leaves, and you are with Yang, and the other is that you will no longer be entangled with Yang Alin, and my sister and Yang Alin will be a couple. After Gu Meng heard this, he was very annoyed, so he said to Chen Shao, "You go back, I will not contact Yang Alin in the future." Chen Shao immediately said goodbye to Gu Meng and apologized, but Gu Meng said that it was nothing.
When Yang Alin was still living a leisurely life, he didn't know that his goddess had drifted away from him.
Chubby came from afar to get together with Yang Alin, Yang Alin led Chubby on a tour of Jinghua, and learned that Chubby would go to Jinmen University to find classmates to catch up with his classmates next, so he handed over the gift he bought for Gu Meng to him and handed it to Xiaomeng, and Chubby happily agreed, promising to bring it.
Not long after, Xiaopang called from Jinmen and said to Yang Alin, "Dude, are you upsetting Gu Meng, she doesn't accept your gift." "Yang Alin said no, it was okay a few days ago. He was a little upset and said to Chubby, "If she doesn't accept it, you just throw it away." Chubby was speechless, thinking that the misunderstanding between these two was quite deep.
