Chapter Seventy-Three: Red Beans
At the end of the month, the first class of the third year of high school ushered in the bonfire party.
The burning flames reflect the cheerful smiling faces of the students, the roast whole lamb dripping with fat on the side is sizzling and teasing everyone's taste buds, and the locally produced fruit lies on the plate to tempt everyone's attention.
"Students, life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon."
The head teacher, Kong Mingxuan, held the drink bottle in his hand and said loudly to the moon.
"In the past two sessions on campus, our senior 3 class 1 showed strong class cohesion and combat effectiveness, and regained the glory lost last year. Every one of you is good! I'm so proud of you! Respect to each of the unique me in Class 1 of the third year of high school! ”
"!"
The students sitting around the fire raised their drinks in their hands and responded.
"Honor belongs to the past, after the National Day, everyone will enter the real battlefield, and the goal of the next stage of all of us is the college entrance examination. What is the college entrance examination, we have done an analysis in the class meeting, I believe you also know the importance of the college entrance examination for each of you. Here, I hope that today, in addition to being a celebration banquet, will also become a mobilization meeting for our new journey. The teacher hopes that you can give full play to your strength, stimulate your 120% potential, and devote 200% of your enthusiasm to this war without gunpowder in July next year. I look forward to next August, the teacher will continue to ask for credit for everyone present and send everyone to a higher level of learning. ”
"Dry—"
Everyone was encouraged by the encouraging words of the head teacher Kong Mingxuan, and raised the drink bottle in their hands again.
"The ancients would worship heaven and earth before the war, and today we used the roasted whole sheep next to us as a sacrifice in the first class of our senior high school. Swear aloud to it for next year's college entrance examination. ”
In this way, all the teachers and students of the first class of the third year of high school took the oath of roast sheep that night that they would all remember for a lifetime.
"Me. XXX, here is a loud oath: guarantee for the college entrance examination in July 2000. Do your best, keep fighting, and don't let your youth regret it! ”
As a result, when many students later recalled their senior year of high school, they started with a roasted whole sheep.
After taking the oath, the roasted whole lamb was quickly cut into small pieces and distributed into bowls in everyone's hands, and the lamb was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and everyone was delighted to eat.
Next, it was time for the students to have fun and relax.
"Throw, throw, throw the handkerchief - gently put it next to the child. Don't sue her ......"
As the focus of attention, Wang Yaxuan is of course the focus of her classmates, so she quickly becomes a victim of the game. Now it was she who walked in a circle, ready to sneak the handkerchief behind one of her classmates.
Out of the corner of his eye, seeing the long-haired girl getting closer and closer to him, Qin Ran's heart became nervous, although he was humming a song in his mouth, his spirit was always behind him, and he quickly jumped up and grabbed the culprit as soon as there was a stir.
Although there was a conversation in the alley outside the bathroom, the two have not been in touch since returning to the team. However, Qin Ran could feel that there was a lot more smile on the girl's face.
Wang Yaxuan walked behind Qin Ran very briskly, the worried handkerchief did not fall behind her, and Qin Ran was a little disappointed while rejoicing.
"Hurry up, hurry up and catch her......"
When she came behind Ye Linghan, Wang Yaxuan quietly put the handkerchief behind her. Then immediately throw your legs and run.
"Ahh
Ye Linghan, who entered the game posture, quickly noticed the abnormal movement behind him, and jumped up with a shout, ready to catch up with Wang Yaxuan, who had already fled.
It's a pity that she was a step too slow, Wang Yaxuan ran around and quickly sat down on Ye Linghan's vacant seat. Successfully ended the round of the game.
Students who fail face punishment and perform a show in public.
Ye Linghan's singing strength has been witnessed by everyone at the party. Therefore, when it was her turn to perform, everyone applauded, waiting for her natural voice to come.
"Red beans are born in the south. A few branches are sent in spring. Next, I will bring you a new song "Red Beans" by Faye Wong. ”
The short-haired girl bowed generously to everyone and said.
Beat herself with her hand, and the girl hummed a prelude softly from her mouth.
"Before I feel it properly, the climate where the snowflakes bloom, we tremble together, and we will better understand what gentleness ......"
Ye Linghan didn't understand why he chose the song "Red Beans" in his first thought, maybe this is the so-called touching the scene.
The whispering female voice flowed slowly in the firelight, and the beautiful melody made many students who heard this song for the first time remember this song deeply in their minds.
In this way, in everyone's memories of their senior year of high school, in addition to a roasted whole sheep, there is another song of red beans.
"But I, sometimes, would rather choose to be nostalgic than let go. When the scenery is seen through, maybe you will accompany me to watch the fine water flow. ”
When singing this sentence, Ye Linghan finally couldn't help but look in the direction of Qin Ran, at this moment, this word can be said to represent a thousand words in her heart.
"Ten years from now, I hope that the people who have played the strings of the years with my fingertips will be happy every day."
In the beautiful artistic conception brought by Ye Linghan, Qin Ran's mind couldn't help but echo what she said in the carriage in the morning.
Thinking of this, he felt a warm heart, smiled and looked up at the girl who was singing, and thanked the other party for the blessings he had given him.
Not a second earlier, not a moment later, just at the same point in time, the eyes of the two people with their hearts met, each with a taste in their hearts.
She saw the warmth and gratitude in his eyes, and he found grief and sorrow in her eyes.
Tears finally couldn't be controlled, and slowly poured out from the corners of her eyes, making the girl's beautiful eyes look particularly bright against the firelight.
"I haven't held hands with you yet, walking through the barren sand dunes. Maybe from now on, learn to cherish the eternity and eternity—"
With lyrics and lyrics, Ye Linghan sang a classic interpretation tonight that everyone present will never forget.
When the tears dripping from Ye Linghan's eyes fell to the ground, Qin Ran felt that his heart had been hit hard at the same time, as if the tears were hitting his heart directly when they fell.
"Long time no see!"
"I'll call you Little 7 in the future."
"You have rough skin and thick meat, can you still shine?"
"You must have secretly drunk last night!"
"Come on. Try my shrimp dumplings! ”
……
Qin Ran's eyes flashed all kinds of fragments, and they all had the same heroine, Ye Linghan.
Alas. In less than a year, the two have experienced many things together. This made Qin Ran's confusion even worse.
"Bang Bang Bang-"
Awakened by bursts of applause, Qin Ran, who was in his memory, found that Ye Linghan had finished singing and was bending down for a curtain call.
"Thank you, I was too involved in singing just now, sorry for the gaffe."
The students stood up and applauded, paying the highest respect to the girl and thanking her for the song she brought.
"It's so good, you must teach us all to sing on the bus."
"When you have a concert, we will all go to the concert."
In the friendly coaxing of everyone. The short-haired girl quickly returned to normal, and there was no strange look in her eyes except for her red eyes.
But her look of grievance has always shrouded Qin Ran's heart, and it can't be dispersed for a long time.
Next, the class also organized small games such as drumming and passing flowers, carrot squatting, etc., so that everyone could enjoy the joy of the holiday.
"Friends go together for a lifetime, and those days are no more, in a word for a lifetime. A glass of wine for the rest of my life—"
In the chorus, the head teacher Kong Mingxuan announced the end of the bonfire party, and everyone entered the free time and could choose to go back to the hotel to rest. It is also possible to take a stroll through the old town. The only requirement is that you must return to the hotel at 21 o'clock in the evening for roll call, and at the same time you are not allowed to drink and make trouble. It was already 20:20, so there was only about half an hour left for the students to do the activity.
Qin Ran declined the invitation of Shen Qin and the others. Decide to walk around a secluded place by yourself. Ever since he made eye contact with Ye Linghan, his heart has been in irritability and confusion. Although on the surface he is normally involved in class activities. But people are already absent-minded.
Walking across an arched bridge, Qin Ran found a quiet riverbank guardrail. A man leaned on it and looked at the slowly flowing river in a daze.
This class activity outing has overwhelmed his original firm inner belief, so he needs time and space to recover. Originally, he had decided not to talk about emotional issues until his career was successful, because the promise of being too young was likely to be just a meteor, burning into ashes and ultimately leaving nothing. Or Qin Ran doesn't have the confidence to give the person he likes a complete future, he is afraid that he will not only hurt himself, but also hurt the person he likes.
Speaking of the person he likes, Qin Ran knows very well who he yearns for the most in his heart, and the long-haired girl has never left his heart. But why does seeing another short-haired girl cry makes her heart hurt?
Now I don't seem to be hypocritical, or I have been evading, how can I find a suitable way to deal with this untidy and chaotic entanglement?
"You don't mind if I borrow it, do you?"
A greeting, a familiar voice once again pulled Qin Ran back to reality from his own world.
Turning his head to look, Qin Ran found that Ye Linghan had appeared beside him at some point.
Laughing gently, Qin Ran didn't make a sound, but his body quietly moved to the left to make room for the other party.
The short-haired girl generously walked to the guardrail next to Qin Ran's right hand, and raised her eyes side by side with him in the same direction as the river.
"It's not easy to be confused in your eyes."
Qin Ran left alone, and Ye Linghan had noticed that she had followed all the way to find this secluded place.
"Actually, I'm an ordinary person, and I'm very different from what you imagined."
Without too many pleasantries, the two quickly went straight to the topic like old friends.
"Do you know what kind of person I think you are?"
Ye Linghan asked rhetorically.
"A very good person?"
With a hint of uncertainty in his tone, Qin Ran replied.
"It seems that you are not only thick-skinned, but also a super narcissist."
Hearing the words "rough skin and thick meat", Qin Ran couldn't help but recall the scene when he was used as a shield by the girl in front of him.
"How is that classmate surnamed He now?"
Thinking of the other party from the shield, Qin Ran asked casually.
"I don't know!"
The short-haired girl cut off Qin Ran's topic in one bite.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and neither of them spoke again, staring silently into the middle of the river, only the sound of the murmuring of the river lingering in their ears.
A willow leaf fell from the tree and fell into the river, impartially falling right within the sight of the two men.
Qin Ran thought that it would quickly sink into the water, but he didn't expect it to be half-floating and half-sinking on the surface of the water, wrapped in flowing water and slowly swimming into the distance with the current, until it disappeared from view.
What is the fate of this willow leaf, it doesn't know itself, and Qin Ran doesn't know either, it can only be known by going down the river until the moment the water falls.
Go with the flow, the road to the bridge is naturally straight, Qin Ran flashed such words and sentences in his mind, solving the doubts in his heart for a while.
Thinking of something, he took the initiative to speak.
"The "Red Bean" you sang tonight is very good."
"Thank you!"
When the bonfire party was held, he seemed to have a lot to say to this boy, but when the two of them were alone, Ye Linghan found that there seemed to be no extra words to say.
"Actually, I only knew about this song for the first time tonight, you ......"
Before Qin Ran could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a conversation from the arch bridge not far away.
"Yaxuan, let's go back, there's no one here for a walk." (To be continued......)
