Chapter 10: A Hug in a Certain Year, a Month, and a Certain (Revised)
"Handsome, failed?" The teammates saw that Li Shuai was a little depressed in the past few days, and they didn't ask for leave to find Sophie, and they guessed what happened.
Li Shuai nodded.
"Wow! No way! An invincible handsome guy will also fail? The other teammates shouted.
"She's got a boyfriend......"
"Boyfriend? What happened to boyfriend? Handsome guy, you have won love countless times with a knife, why can't you do it this time? ”
Li Shuai smiled and shook his head, but the smile was strange.
One of his teammates yelled viciously, "! What happens when you have a boyfriend? Lao Tzu asked someone to clean him up. Let's see if he dares to fight with a handsome guy! His words were immediately echoed by most of the others.
Li Shuai stood up and waved his head: "What do you say?" Am I that kind of person? Do you see how I have used this kind of indiscriminate means? You think girlfriends are all typed? Depend on! In the future, no one should do this kind of thing in front of me, otherwise I will turn against him! ”
"Then ......" The person who shouted to teach Zhang Jun a lesson hesitated: "That handsome guy, you just gave up?" ”
"I'll take care of my own business." Li Shuai put on his coat and walked out of the court, regardless of the reaction of the crowd behind him. As soon as he walked to the sidelines, he was stopped by the captain: "Li Shuai, I can remind you that the finals are coming soon, you have to put your mind on this!" This year is our last chance......"
Li Shuai patted the captain on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm measured!" ”
Sophie took a few steps back and looked at her sketch homework, a set of still lifes. The teacher who taught sketching stood beside her, squinted at it, and nodded: "Sophie, haven't you really learned to draw before?" ”
Sophie nodded.
The teacher smiled: "I can't believe that a beginner can draw so well." Whether it's perspective or chiaroscuro, the lines are well mastered. After she finished speaking, she took the painting off the easel, took it to the blackboard and clipped it, "You can refer to Sophie's drawing, she is very good at drawing!" ”
While the other classmates were still envious, Sophie changed to a piece of paper and drew it. This time, she painted Zhang Jun, completely according to the impression in her heart.
The teacher stood behind her again: "Sophie, are you interested in making further progress in painting?" I think you're very talented. ”
Sophie looked back at the teacher and nodded.
"I hold a painting club here every Tuesday and Friday night, and there are not many people, but they are all students who love painting, so you can also come and listen to it."
Sophie thought that there were no classes on Tuesday and Friday nights, and there was no problem with the time, so she nodded again: "Okay, I will definitely come!" ”
Li Shuai decided to save this hard-won fate, Sophie is a very special girl, and it would be a pity to let her go easily. He came early to wait outside the Erjiao 709 classroom, he knew that Sophie should be taking a sketch class here at this time.
After the bell rang, the door of classroom 709 opened, and the students of the art and design department walked out one after another, and they finished class. But Li Shuai didn't see Sophie.
Sophie cleaned up the teacher with several cadres of the office committee, and asked the teacher about some things about the painting class, before the last one walked out of the classroom. When she locked the door and turned around to leave, she found Li Shuai standing at the corridor window.
Li Shuai tried his best to make the same expression as usual and said to Sophie: "I want to invite you to watch the semi-finals this afternoon." ”
"That, Li Shuai, I know ......"
"This afternoon's semi-finals, I want you to watch, will you go?"
Sophie shook her head firmly: "I'm sorry, I can't go." ”
At that moment, Li Shuai was a little excited: "Why? Just watching the game! You and him...... You guys...... I don't see how he is better for you than I am! I haven't come to see you for a long time, I haven't gone shopping with you, I haven't bought you anything! He's just a special student who can only play football! ”
As soon as the words came out, Li Shuai regretted it a little, it was the first time he had lost his temper in front of a girl, but a man's self-esteem made him raise his head instead.
Sophie listened quietly to Li Shuai's words, then put down the bucket containing the paintbrush, paint box, and palette in her hand, and then leaned the sketchpad on her back against the wall.
"You're right, he's really just a special student who can only play football, and he rarely goes shopping with me, let alone buys me anything. Most of the time, football is everything to him, he doesn't know anything but playing. He is not handsome, his family is not very rich, he has no big backers, he studies averagely, he is lazy, greedy, and a little stupid...... Sometimes, I can't even think of any good things about him. ”
Sophie looked out the window at the drizzle.
"Sometimes, I wonder why I have been looking for five years because of a ball I saw occasionally in elementary school, and a person I saw occasionally. At that time, I didn't even know what a dozen boys were doing on the court grabbing a ball. What I saw in elementary school doesn't mean anything.,It's just a fairy tale that I read too much of a little girl's fantasy, right? But five years later, everything else is blurred, but the shadow has never been forgotten. Later, I actually got with him - honestly - without a bit of romance at all. I'm the manager of the team almost every day, I have dirty laundry almost every day, I have a pitiful number of appointments, and I always have a 'light bulb' by my side. Sophie smiled, "But I don't know why, I just like to see him running around the field, I just love the look on his face when he plays." By the way, why did you choose basketball in the first place? ”
Sophie suddenly turned her face to look at Li Shuai, and Li Shuai was stunned for a moment when asked: "Huh?" I? Why Basketball? ”
But Sophie didn't wait for him to answer, but turned her face away and continued to herself: "That's what he asked me at the beginning, why I chose football. I didn't know what to say to him, so I said I liked football. Later, he asked me why girls who don't know football like football, and I said that if you like it, you like it, and if you don't see it, you must understand it. You must think this answer is silly, right? Sophie smiled again. But after three years of high school, following him from the regional competition to the national competition, and then to the national championship, I realized that the original answer was the best answer. For me, liking is liking, and I don't need any reason. I love football and I love him. I guess you are too, right? I chose basketball because I love basketball, right? ”
Sophie bent down to lift the bucket on the floor and put the sketchpad against the wall: "Thank you for taking care of you, goodbye!" ”
She passed by Li Shuai, who was still standing there in a daze, and gradually disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
The semi-finals were very intense, and there were still more than three minutes before the end of the game, and the scores of the two sides were still very tight. The coach glanced at Li Shuai, he was not in very good shape today, and only scored 10 points in 23 minutes of play, but at this critical moment, he still has to rely on his experience.
"Li Shuai, let's play."
Li Shuai raised his head.
U big substitution, No. 14 Li Shuai played again. As soon as he got on the court, he opened the score slightly with a three-pointer for U-major, followed by another basket assist, and the center captain scored two more points. The coach's smile returned to his face, and it seemed that his substitution was very correct.
Later, the opponent also returned a three-point return, and the score was close again, but the coach was not worried at all, according to Li Shuai's performance just now, winning should not be a problem.
Sure enough, the opponent attacked again and attacked the basket, but was slapped away by the captain of the U team. The ball was picked up by Li Shuai amid the cheers of the U University fans, and he quickly dribbled to the opponent's basket with only one person guarding him.
Aggro!
The cheers in the stadium almost toppled the roof.
Only the captain felt a little wrong in his heart, and he shouted at his teammates who were in a daze: "Go up and support him!" He can't ...... alone" Before he finished shouting, Li Shuai suddenly stood in front of the basketball hoop, jumped high, raised the basketball in his right hand, and flew towards the basket!
Slam dunk!
The cheers went up a notch.
But the captain scolded in his heart: "Damn! His knees ......"
The only opponent guarding the basket was 5 centimeters taller than Li Shuai, but the bounce was not as good as Li Shuai, he jumped up and stretched out his hands upwards to interfere with Li Shuai's dunk.
Li Shuai flew in the air, curled up with his feet, grabbed the ball with his right hand, at that moment, the wind was whistling in his ears, the cheers of the stadium were all gone, and in front of him was the basket and the opponent's outstretched hands.
Suddenly, the opponent disappeared with an empty basket, and Sophie's figure appeared in front of him.
"Why did you choose basketball?"
Everyone saw Li Shuai ascend, but then suddenly like a deflated ball, it fell from the air, and in the screams of the fans, it was his knee that first touched the floor......
Chaotic crowds, chaotic sounds, chaotic scenes.
"Quick! Stretcher! ”
"! Isn't it your kid's offense! ”
"Referee!"
"Call an ambulance!"
……
Li Shuai kept his eyes open, and he saw that in the sky above the gymnasium, a butterfly shook in front of his eyes, and then slowly flew away, through an open window, to the outside world.
Since the tape was sent, a day has passed, Zhang Jun has not received news about Sophie, he always has a bad feeling in his heart, maybe he has failed, Sophie has been disappointed in himself.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Zhu Hui said to him with a wicked smile: "Sophie called, she is waiting for you at the entrance of the art center at half past five." ”
Zhang Jun was stunned, then looked up at the clock on the table, it was already five forty-five, he had eaten, and he had been hanging outside for so long!
Before he could thank Zhu Hui, Zhang Jun turned around and rushed out the door.
"Hey! Umbrella! I don't have any umbrellas......" Zhu Hui looked at the dripping rain outside the window, looked at the open door, and shook his head.
Night has fallen, the lights in the campus are on, the rain is still falling, and there are few pedestrians on the road.
Zhang Jun ran wildly in the rain, clutching the string of Tibetan ornaments bought for 18 yuan tightly in his hand. Fifteen minutes late, hoping that Sophie would not be gone, then he would never be able to forgive himself.
There were not many people on the road, and Zhang Jun took out the speed of sprinting on the court and rushed to the modern art center.
……
The lights of the art center are on, and there is a photography exhibition in the past few days, but there are few people now, and Sophie, who is standing at the entrance of the center with an umbrella, hears a rush of footsteps, she turns around, and just in time to see Zhang Jun running out of breath from behind the tree.
As soon as Zhang Jun ran out of this grove, he saw Sophie turn around, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and stopped. Then he took a deep breath and walked back towards Sophie, and when he was still two meters away from Sophie, he stood still and did not take any further steps.
Sophie looked at Zhang Jun, who was drenched in the rain, took a big step forward, and stood face to face with him.
"You're sixteen minutes late!"
"yes, I'm sorry, I ......"
"I listened to it, that song, thank you......" Sophie buried her head down.
Zhang Jun was a little frightened, he didn't understand what the phrase "thank you" meant, he grabbed the necklace in his hand. "I ......"
Sophie looked up at Zhang Jun again.
"I ...... I'm sorry that you didn't be able to fulfill your promise that day. Still, I want to ask you to forgive me. My temporary surname has wronged you. Zhang Jun spread out his right hand, revealing the Tibetan pendant that had been wet. I bought it on Huangshan Road, it was very cheap and the workmanship was not fine, but there was only this last one there. I want to give it to you as a gift, although your life is over, but I still want to wish you a happy life! The meaning of this is very good, it is to say......"
"May love last forever and be the same."
Zhang Jun looked at Sophie strangely, "How do you know, you know what it means?" ”
Sophie didn't answer the question, she smiled: "Zhang Jun, in four days it will be your birth, right?" ”
Zhang Jun nodded inexplicably.
"I also have a gift for you, close your eyes!"
During this time, Zhou Huajian's new album "Forget the Worries Grass", which has been waiting for two years, has finally been released, and the campus radio station has been introducing this warm new album, and one of the songs will be played every day.
"Yesterday we broadcast "Is there a song that reminds you of me", a song with a long name, but it is very good. Today, I recommend the last title song, a song full of warmth and warmth, which makes people infinitely moved - "Forget the Worries Grass" ......" The hostess gently introduced.
Zhang Jun obediently closed his eyes, not knowing what kind of gift Sophie was going to give him, it turned out that he hadn't come to him for the past few days, he went to buy him a gift, and he was still guessing......
Zhang Junzheng was thinking wildly, and suddenly felt a hot cheek, a warm mass of something on his lips, and his nose was full of fragrant breath.
Let us who are weak know how to be cruel and face every cold in life fiercely.
People who have loved reluctantly often have no fate.
Who takes whom seriously, who feels sorry for whom, and who is the only one whom?
The scarred and innocent soul has long since denied that there is any god.
Beautiful life, kind people, heartache and sadness are too insignificant.
You and me, who come and go, and him, it is better to look at each other and smile faintly......
The umbrella fell to the ground at some point, swaying gently in the puddle.
Zhang Jun suddenly remembered that in his sophomore year of high school, there was a game in which he hugged Sophie because of an accident, and that feeling has not been forgotten until now......
In the dark, Zhang Jun stretched out his hands, trembling, slowly, and forcefully hugged Sophie into his arms, everything was just like that day, it was raining, and he took the initiative to embrace it......
……
Forget the worries, forget the grass, forget it!
How much do you know in your dreams?
A certain end of the earth, a certain island, a certain year, a certain month, a certain hug.
The grass on the banks of the green river is quietly waiting for the old ......
