I plucked the first string of the guitar in my hand, and there was no flashy melody, it was very bland, as if on a quiet summer night, a man who had experienced countless changes in the world told an ordinary story in a tone that saw through everything, without storms or storms.

As the notes flowed out of the guitar, I felt that the whole auditorium suddenly fell silent, and the audience in front of me seemed to have disappeared. I was the only one left on the stage, and my heart suddenly became quiet, as if I had returned to that poignant but nostalgic era.

The first time I met Lili was at the sports meeting of Bingji City No. 14 Middle School in the first year of junior high school, when she was so proud and cold, and I was just a thin little boy with low self-esteem, and I didn't even have the courage to look at her twice. In the mixed relay race, she and I ran the last handfuls of class 6 and class 7, she overtook me without letting her eyebrows go, our class lost, and I was also stigmatized, she began to look down on me from then on, and I was even more inferior. Indeed, at that time, I was willing to fall for physical reasons, broken jars, and did not want to make progress, and I can't blame her.

In the third year of junior high school, Zhu Liangming, the trash who took pleasure in bullying the weak and called me a "coward", teased me again in the stairwell of no one at night, and I could only silently endure his insults, and I didn't even dare to resist. Lili happened to encounter this incident, she is a person with a strong sense of justice, and she wanted to rush up to teach Zhu Liangming a lesson, but Zhang Ke was one step ahead of her, and grabbing Zhu Liangming was a violent beating.

Unfortunately, he was seen by the grade director, and in the end Zhang Ke was punished, and I couldn't even defend him. This made Lili's hatred for me even worse, because I didn't fight for it.

I had the misfortune of being in a car accident, and when I came back from the dead, I found that my brain and body were starting to change abnormally. It's still a night after a night of self-study, and the situation is almost the same as last time, it's still Zhu Liangming's gang, but the difference this time is that I won him, and I was injured and vomited blood. Lili was worried at the time and told me to go to the infirmary for a check-up. I slammed it back, and she was so angry that she burst into flames. Actually, it's not that I don't understand her kindness, but I just deliberately didn't accept it. Despite her tantrums, I was still happy, because—at last—she could no longer ignore my presence. The habit of arguing with her may have started at that time.

Some things are really too coincidental, in the last sports meeting of the third year of junior high school, Liu Jun, who was the last baton of the mixed relay in our class, sprained his foot, and for various reasons, the class had to let me replace him.

And this time, the last person of our class's rival class 7 happened to be Lili again, and that time I didn't repeat the mistake and turned defeat into victory when I was behind. Lili is such a strong girl, and she wants to fight me again if she is not convinced, and I intend to give in and let her win. To this day, I still think I made a very wise decision, and that sudden thought made me have one more "brother" of the opposite sex since then.

Slowly I began to get to know this good "brother", she was actually very good-hearted, caring, sympathetic to the weak, but hated those who did not fight. At the beginning, in her eyes, I was that kind of person.

After that, we were admitted to Bingji High School together, and we were both assigned to the second class. For more than two years in high school, she kept coercing me into using my privilege to put her in a position in front of me. At that time, she was still very savage, I remember one time, I had a high fever of 39 degrees, and I still held on. Without saying a word, she bought fever-reducing medicine in the infirmary, threw it in front of me and said viciously: "Take it according to what is written above, two days, three times a day, and if I see this pack of medicine in two days, my mother will kill you!" ”

I find it funny every time I think about it, she would never care about others in a gentle tone. But I was really happy then. Zhang Wen, Li Xiao, Sisi, Zhang Ke, Shan Ruo, Lili and I have formed a harmonious group that can make all young men and women envious.

The melody under the guitar also changed with the change of my mood and became as light and jumping as the spring water of the mountain stream, expressing the happiness in my heart and the regret of youth. At that time, I just wished that time would stop and that our laughter would remain forever. I know it's impossible, but at least we can grow old happily together.

It's a pity that the sky always doesn't fulfill people's wishes.

In the third year of high school, Lili did not hesitate to violate school rules to see me off at the station. Unexpectedly, that meeting turned out to be a farewell. When I returned to Bingji City after the exam, I found that Lili had left us, forever. In order to save a small child, she was mercilessly swallowed up by the raging traffic, and was robbed of her precious life by God in the blooming season.

The melody of the song suddenly turns heavy and oppressive, like the foul air before the storm, which is simply breathless.

It was a heart-wrenching piece of news, and the laughter and laughter that had always been with us had disappeared since Lili was gone. Each of us misses her irrepressibly, that savage but straightforward girl. And I found that the relationship between me and her is not just a "brother", I can't forget every moment with her, every time I see the empty seat in front of me in class, I will be unreasonably disappointed, I see her in my dreams again and again, but I am more heartbroken after waking up again and again.

I gave up the opportunity to be escorted, and was admitted to Peking Medical University, a major that others thought was rubbish, with the first score in the provincial college entrance examination.

I hated myself, why didn't I understand one thing earlier, that it may be a natural habit of man, when he has it, he doesn't feel anything; If you lose it, you know how to cherish it.

I only wish that God could give me a chance to cherish again, but can the dead be resurrected?

The last string of the guitar also slowly stopped vibrating, I only felt extremely heavy, every time after playing the piece, I would be extremely melancholy, but the short but wonderful memories evoked in the middle of the song tempted me like a drug addiction, I had already been poisoned, unable to extricate myself, but willingly.

The scolding in the auditorium had stopped at some point, and only the silence of a pin drop was audible. I bowed, took off my guitar and retreated backstage, only to find Yun Yanyan staring blankly at me, while Li Xiao was in tears. Shen Jingfeng's face turned blue and white, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

I shoved the guitar into Yun Yanyan's hand, and then walked off the stage without looking back, walking through the hallway full of people, still without a sound, all of them seemed to be enchanted.

It wasn't until I got to the last row that I heard the first applause, then the second, then the third......

By the time I walked out of the auditorium, the applause behind me had rained down for a long time, no cheers, just applause, but it had been going on.
