Chapter 51: If not
Lin Ke has always been a deep and even boring person, I have known him for so long, I have heard him talk about his old friend for the first time, which is nothing, but if his old friend's temperament is very similar to Li Shi, and he has a melancholy face when talking about this old friend, then maybe things are not so simple, is Lin Ke like a domineering type of woman?
"Speaking of old friends, could it be that they are the object of your crush?"
Lin Ke didn't answer, got up and went back to the house, took out a few bottles of beer, handed me one, and bit one open with his teeth.
I also bit open a bottle, and after touching him, I took a sip and said: "If people are not married, don't block your way, crush is not a shameful thing, how can you confess!" ”
Lin Ke glanced at me and said, "You have had a crush on Jingqi for so long, do you dare to confess?" ”
As soon as he said this unbeatable words, I really wanted to spray him with beer, but what he said was also the truth, indeed, for me and Jing Qi now, it has become an unspeakable friendship, and there can't even be the slightest transgression, because we have walked into two parallel lines, if there is a tilt, it must be a heart-rending collapse of her world, but this kind of thing is something I don't want to see.
Lin Ke let out a long cigarette in his mouth, then took another sip of beer, and then looked up at the somewhat heavy sky, as if recalling those old days, sometimes people are so complicated, but they are so simple, those days that cannot be obtained have become good memories, and those unforgettable sufferings have become eternal monuments.
"Remembering the old days?"
"yes, I think about it in the dead of night when I'm lonely!" Lin Ke didn't hide it either, and replied straightforwardly.
"Isn't that just thinking about it every day?"
"What can you do, just think."
I lifted the beer bottle and touched it with him, curious, "How did you meet?" ”
"When I was studying at the Central Conservatory of Music, I ran a class without a license, and I recruited one of her students in half a year, both from Xi'an, and created conditions for us.
"How did that get to where we are today?"
Lin Ke smiled gloomily: "After getting along, we gradually found out: she is more avant-garde, and I am loyal to tradition; She is open, I am reserved; The two of them had many different ideas, which led to our inability to get along at all, but after graduation, she chose to accommodate me, gave up her future in Beijing, and returned to Xi'an with me. She designed every detail here, but when she left four years ago, she told me that this design was the biggest failure of her life. ”
I was silent, and although Lin Ke said it lightly, I saw a life that was heartbroken in helplessness......
originally thought that the topic would end in silence, but unexpectedly Lin Ke sighed as if recalling: "Lu Yu is a very ordinary person, but every time she sits on the stage, I feel like she will shine, and the songs she has sung seem to be engraved in my memory, and sometimes her voice suddenly rings in my ears, and I am a little overwhelmed." Her songs are always a little sad, but now I often wonder if it is a good thing or a bad thing to experience the bitterness of life early. ”
I can't answer his question, maybe he didn't intend to ask me at all, because a question has been circling in my mind for a long time, and it has become a knot.
In silence, Lin Ke and I looked at the shadow cast under the street lamp in the same posture, and after a long time, he finally put aside the topic that worried us just now, and asked me: "You seem to have fallen out with the new female store manager, what are you going to do next?" ”
"Look for it again, the big living people can't starve to death."
Lin Ke didn't ask any more questions, but also looked into the distance with my gaze, and patted me on the shoulder with empathy for a long time, there is no doubt that we are all sparrows struggling in this city, and some pains are all the same, even if we don't say it.
……
The wind whistled past us with the coolness of the night, I sat with Lin Kegan, at this time the mobile phone prompt in my pocket suddenly rang, I took out the mobile phone and saw that it was Jingqi calling, it seems that this person really can't chatter!
After answering the phone, Jing Qi asked anxiously: "I didn't see anyone in your store, and asked Li Shi that you were gone, where did you go?" ”
"Here in Lin Ke, you're drinking with him, and you're looking for me?"
"We'll talk about that later, you've already eaten?"
"Didn't eat it."
"Then I'll drive over now, eat together, and wait for me for twenty minutes."
"Don't be in a hurry, drive slowly, pass by the intersection Wang Ji Restaurant, just bring some food, and don't toss when it's dark."
Jing Qi answered and hung up the phone, my previous mood was as plain as water suddenly rippled, and my mind was inexplicably filled with the sound of wind chimes shaking, and the pedestrians rushing on the zebra crossing.
I tried hard to recall, only to find that these hallucinations did not appear in my mind for no reason, the first gift Jing Qi gave me was a string of wind chimes, but unfortunately it was broken later, and in the difficult days when she couldn't find a job, I would often sit on the street with her and watch the passers-by, this habit later accompanied me for a long time, until the days were busy.
After a while, the mobile phone that had been silent for a while rang again, and I didn't have to guess to know that it was a message from Jingqi, but when I picked up the phone and looked at it, I realized that it was sent by my father.
He reminded me that I had time to go home and see, the peaches in the yard at home were ripe, and now they were crisp and delicious, so I could pick them and eat them with Li Shi.
After reading the message, I felt as if I suddenly had a place to go, and I was glad that he had told me by text message, otherwise I really wouldn't have known how to talk to him. After thinking about it for a while, I immediately replied to my father, telling him that he would go home in the next two days, but avoided the topic of giving peaches to Li Shi.
Lin Ke looked at the time on his phone, stood up, signaled that it was time for him to go to the radio broadcast, I didn't go back to the house with him, still standing in the courtyard, the oncoming gust of wind, as if blowing the outline of the island looming in the sky, this is the second time I have seen it, it is still floating in the middle of the city, and I have no ship to land, I can only hold a handful of fragrant seeds like now, but I can't plant ......
……
Lin Ke in the bar was live broadcasting, I opened the APP of his radio station, and then in a live broadcast room with only five listeners, quietly listening to his voice, he said: "If one day, you suddenly remember to remember to call me, tell me, you miss me, I will sort out my mood, point to the location of the heart to tell you, there is no change here." ”
I would smile and think: How nice it would be if the old friend Lin Ke loved was in the live broadcast room at the moment.
Or perhaps, the person who is loved by Lin Ke knows that he is loved, so he will be full of confidence, and say that he is not worthy of this, but has she ever known that there may be many people who love her, but Lin Ke loves only her.
Lin Ke continued in a slightly hoarse, but extremely magnetic voice: "I always miss the past campus, the unexpected encounters in the past, and the chatter of the past, but as people walk, it is always easy to throw away the initial beauty and initial touch. I was reluctant to delete the chat history in my life, but I lost you, what went wrong? I don't know, maybe I do, but can I still talk about what is right or wrong? I don't think I'm going to ......."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Ke in the bar plucked the guitar strings, and a melody floated in the night air, which was "Astringent" by Lao Hu, the king of the bar.
"I think I should be a dead flower, otherwise why can't it bloom, I think I should be a child of the night, otherwise why am I so afraid of the sun, I long to be a lonely flying dragonfly, free to walk among the beautiful flowers, how I wish I was a firefly, there will be light in every night, is not all the sparrows will die in the winter, is not all the people, are they all losing their conscience in money, is it only the poor children, can sing the most beautiful songs, Isn't it only the wandering people who understand the bitterness of life......"
After singing a song for a long time, Lin Ke said: "The singer must have been very difficult that year, so he wrote such a hopeless song, I closed my eyes and quietly felt the trembling of every word, he said: I like this song very much, but sometimes I am not particularly willing to sing, because I think this song was written at the time of special self-pity, written a little too much, maybe everyone likes this song is touched by the point in the heart, maybe life is too long, there are many things to experience, all the way, I laughed while walking, I cried when I laughed, I forgot when I cried, I forgot when I cried, I forgot and thought about it...... But I think there should be such a person, in the winter, at night, on the bare road, walking towards the light, crying, silently moving forward, the past is like the spring flowers blooming, autumn flowers falling, nothing can stop it...... Yes, there will be such a person, if not, then I am willing to be that person, sparrows will one day have their own warm nest, even if your heart is still wandering......"
I exited the live broadcast room, looked at the dark night sky overhead, and once again let myself think about nothing.
Suddenly, the sound of high-heeled shoes drifting into my ears, from far and near, I knew that it must be Jingqi coming.
I hurried over, Jing Qi put the handbag on her shoulders, two hands holding disposable lunch boxes, I quickly took it, she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I don't think I bought anything, why is it so heavy!" ”
I lifted the bag and looked in front of me, in addition to the food and soup, there are several kinds of fruits, can it not be heavy!
"Lin Ke broadcasts live on the radio, and when we're done, we'll eat."
"That's just right, I just have something I'm going to tell you about."
Although I was curious about what it was, I didn't immediately ask about it, and there were some things I never wanted to force her.
After a short walk, she said she was a little tired, so I found a place with steps under the street lamp and sat down with her.
In order to make her comfortable, we chose to sit back to back, she seemed to be really tired, and after a long time, she whispered to me: "Yu Hang, I am going to Provence for a fashion week, and I have to leave tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Running that far?"
"Well, I can't do the things arranged by the brokerage company, besides, Shen Hao said that he wants to buy some photographic equipment and needs this money, and he will be unhappy if I don't go out. But then again, it's good to go out and show your face, in case you become famous, if you go to participate in a Victoria's Secret show one day, your worth is estimated to skyrocket dozens of times. ”
I suddenly became annoyed, and said angrily: "What kind of equipment does he Shen Hao need to shoot things, I haven't seen him jump out of a fart after buying so much equipment, you are too used to him, you tell me, where is he good, is it worth you to jump into the river for him?" ”
