Chapter Twenty-Nine: The First Song

At the end of Route 10, one of the most famous attractions in Los Angeles, Santa Monica Beach, Jack in "Titanic" told Ruth to come here to ride the Ferris wheel, Forrest Gump used to run here, every summer it is crowded with people and vehicles coming and going, and in this somewhat bleak winter, there are few people to see on the long coastline, only a few uniformed caretakers, slowly moving like snails on the beach, picking up a few garbage.

Ding Wei stood on the pier of the jettie at the very edge of the beach, silently staring at an old man twenty or thirty meters away from him who was inserting a cross on the beach, which is also one of the reserved activities of this beach in addition to concerts and dances, in order to commemorate the soldiers who died in World War II, he looked at the thin figure of the old man kneeling reverently on the beach, bowing his head and kissing the cross, as if he was talking to his deceased comrades, the old military uniform wrapped in his body was blown by the sea breeze of hunting, looking like a flag.

Ding Wei didn't come forward to talk, his condition was not very good at this time, there was still a trace of jagged pain in his mind, and the dense bandage on his head tightly bound his face, making him even have some trouble talking, and only when the sea breeze blew over the top of his head wearing a peaked cap, he felt a little more comfortable. Seeing the old man get up and leave, he raised his right hand with some effort and waved it at him.

After the last game, both he and the team have reached the end of the crossbow, and the next game is the Cavaliers led by LeBron James, despite his repeated requests, Coach Brown still forcibly gave him a vacation, staying in the local hospital for treatment and observation, fortunately, there are no restrictions on his actions, with his current dignity, he is afraid that he will not be able to go to some places that are not suitable for players to have fun, so he has the opportunity to come to this place he has seen four years ago.

"I don't know what happened to them." Ding Wei's gaze through the mist blown by the sea breeze, looking at the endless horizon in a hazy depth, since entering this team, although it has only been less than a month, he has been a little unaccustomed to this rhythm of life alone, he prefers that he is in the inconspicuous training ground in Philadelphia at this moment, even if he can do dribbling training on the sidelines, and watch the teammates fight in groups.

“Hi——!” Ding Wei pricked up his ears, as if he had heard something from the mist, a little vague and a little familiar, he hurriedly took off his sunglasses and cast his eyes on the edge of the beach.

The voice was getting closer and closer, and at the same time, Ding Wei also saw the somewhat petite shadow clearly, running hard and fast in the howling sea breeze, and he hurriedly jumped off the dock and ran towards her.

The reason why the winter beach is not welcomed is because you never know whether the next foot will be soft or hard, although this distance is not very long, but it is a long and difficult journey for Ding Wei, who has exhausted a lot of physical strength in the last game, and a sixteen-year-old girl, when the two can finally see each other's outfits and faces, they can only gasp loudly and laugh, but they can't say half a word.

"How are you?" It was the first thing the two men said at the same time, followed by a burst of laughter mixed with gasps.

"Well, Miss Ellie-Fanning, we're meeting again." Ding Wei hesitated to stretch out his right hand, and when he knew Ai Li's true identity, he was indeed slightly shocked, causing him to be a little embarrassed now.

Elle smiled and stretched out her little hand to grab Ding Wei's big hand, but she stepped on the air, she screamed, and her body immediately slanted towards the somewhat cold and hard sand.

Ding Wei was busy taking a step forward and reaching out to help, but the vigor of this flutter was still beyond his expectations, he instantly felt that his jaw seemed to be hit by an uppercut, and the already ebb and flow of his mind suddenly turned over, and suddenly his eyes were dark, his feet were soft, lying on the ground, and the next second, a loose and soft thing wrapped in a windbreaker had been pressed up.

"Uh, Miss Fanning." Ding Wei held his hands at first glance, neither moving, nor moving, if it wasn't tightly wrapped in bandages, no matter who could clearly see his already red ears at this time.

"Call me Ellie." Ai Li's voice pressing on Ding Wei's body sounded much more natural, but Ding Wei felt that it seemed to be a little faint, dissatisfied?

"Okay Ellie, let's get up first, I don't want to make headlines the next day." Ding Wei said helplessly.

Then Ding Wei ushered in the darkest moment of his day, only to feel that the little princess's hands suddenly supported her body, it stands to reason that she can obviously not do this, he was caught off guard and suddenly experienced the feeling of breaking a boulder in his chest, a chest tightness followed by a cough, and he even felt that his brain was trembling in pain with this cough.

"Are you okay......" Shicai also had a little apology in his voice with a little dissatisfaction, the famous little girl is still a little girl after all, and once things are out of her control, she can't help but worry.

"What do you say?" Ding is white-eyed.

"Ahhh That's the expression! Was that what you were like that day? Elle vividly imitated Ding Wei's demeanor, and returned to the appearance of the little girl with a mouth full of "**".

"Uh-huh." Ding Wei really couldn't accept this kind of off-line thinking, and there was a pain in his mind, so he could only respond casually.

"Uh, sorry, are you okay?" Seeing Ding Wei gritting his teeth while covering his head, his worried expression reoccupied the pretty face that was not moving, but warm and lovely, and his small eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, making the worry in his eyes more vivid.

"It's okay," Ding Wei shook his head slightly, the residual pain still lingering, but at least it had dropped to a tolerable level, "How did you come here?" ”

"Would you believe me if I said I was here for you?" Ellie suddenly showed a sly expression, and Ding was furious.

"Am I faith? Still is...... No...... What about faith? Ding Wei, who was a mess in his head, finally gave up thinking.

"I watched your game yesterday." Ellie turned her head away with some dissatisfaction, but finally muttered.

"Huh?" Ding Wei involuntarily took a breath of cold air, which didn't seem to be a joke.

"You're really great." Elle looked directly into Ding Wei's eyes and said slowly and seriously.

"Thank you." Ding Wei's answer was simple, but equally serious.

"I lied to you." The sly expression returned to Ellie's face in an instant, faster than the change of face in Sichuan Opera.

"Uh...... "You are an acting school, your whole family is an acting school, Ding Wei complained fiercely in his heart, he didn't know that his complaint was really the bull's-eye.

"But I watched the footage at the hotel, but only in the last moments of the fourth quarter, including the scene where you got hurt, I saw it all." Elle switched to another scene again, it seems that she enjoys this process of completely leading the other party by the nose, this is probably also a small revenge on Ding Wei, but now, the revenge is over.

"Do you think I believe or don't?" Ding Wei smiled bitterly.

"Look what's in my eyes?" Elle's eyes widened as she leaned her face towards Ding Wei.

Ding Wei suddenly felt a lot of pressure, he had never looked at a girl so closely, and he retreated in an instant: "Okay, I believe it." ”

Ellie pursed her lips noncommittally, suddenly changed to a somewhat hideous expression, and yelled at Ding Wei: "Chris Paul is ready for the last attack!" He shook off Tony Roten! The 76ers are three-man packed! Paul gave the ball to Redick in the bottom corner in the gap! Ding's Supplemental Defense! He flew off the pitch and still didn't touch the ball! Redick hits! It's over! Now are you convinced? Have you believed, believed, believed? ”

"I believe it, I believe it, I believe it, I say important things three times." Ding Wei was busy.

Ai Li glanced at him like Ding Wei, Ding Wei never expected that his expression could be made by another person, which was fascinating, and his heart was electrocuted again.

"So, as your number one fan, I feel the need to come and see you when you need comfort the most." Ellie blinked, clearly pleased with the effect of her expression.

"Thank you, but I'm in a good mood right now," Ding Wei said with a smile, "Look at my eyes." He put on a serious expression, but he was actually nervous to death.

Elle looked at Ding Wei without panic, and in the end, Ding Wei was defeated again.

"Thank you for letting me see your 'sincerity'." Ellie covered her mouth and laughed.

"I'm serious, when the game is not over, I do care about the final result," Ding Wei said sincerely, "but since the result has happened, whether you win or lose, you have already worked hard, instead of dwelling on this, it is better to look forward." ”

"Look ahead...... Ellie's eyelashes twitched, and she turned her head to look at the waves in the sea.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Elle's expression changed, naturally he couldn't hide Ding Wei, who was always staring at her, unconsciously, he was used to this kind of gaze, although he was very embarrassed by the identity of the other party when he first met, but the first impression that Elle left on him was always the little girl who broke through the glass of his room with a swing rope, not the little princess who was decorated with various lights on the big screen.

"I have a friend, she's a very good girl," Elle began to tell faintly, looking at the sea breeze, "and it's been like this since she's been a baby, and everyone around her has a light in their eyes when they mention her, just as you see in my eyes." ”

Ding Wei nodded, he knew that he didn't need to say anything at this time.

"But in fact, in my opinion, she is very ordinary, she is also growing up, growing up, she began to realize that many things are not what she wants, many things are not what she wants to do, she wants what she wants, do what she wants to do, but she is afraid that she will disappoint many people who love her, she wants to go back to the simple time of the past, but this is no longer possible, so she is so sad, I am also sad for her......"

A hazy mist in Ellie's eyes mingled with the ebb and flow of her pupils.

"Well, although I seem to understand, I'm afraid it's hard for me to give you an answer to this question, but maybe it can." Ding Wei smiled and patted the piano case beside him, it has been four years, and he carries it with him wherever he goes.

"You know how to play a guitar?" Ellie's eyes lit up.

"I understand," Ding Wei skillfully took out the guitar and tuned the strings, and the notes began to beat between his fingers, "This song is an old song in our China, but I changed it in English and sang it to your friends." ”

Seeing that Elle nodded, Ding Wei pressed down the cap on his head and began to sing softly:

"The scenery of life is like the wind of the sea

(The-scenery-of-the-life,like-the-wind-of-the-sea)

Sometimes fierce, sometimes flat, dear friends, you be careful

(Sometimes-wave,sometimes-quiet,you-can’t-say-“I-don’t-care”)

The environment of life, begging will come out of the sky

(The-round-of-thelife,like-the-shining-of-the-sky)

Don't complain about the sky, Moyou people, fate is a lifetime

(No-blame,no-depress,let-it-just-will-be-that)

A glass of wine, two dimes of silver, come to the battle every now and then

(Bros-come,bros-back,with-the-beers-and-the-wine)

If you want to talk about feelings, I am the first in the world

(About-love,around-the-world,I-was-just-one-of-the-best)

It's fate, it's destined, and the hero comes to see it

(Because-of-you,because-of-me,we-come-together-like-a-team)

The wind is frightened, the wind is surging, there is affection and righteousness, and there are good brothers

(Don’t-be-fear,don’t-be-sigh,in-the-ties-of-friendship)

The time of the short boy is forced to be a teenager

(The-time-forced-the-life,when-you-just-be-a-guy)

Seeking fame and fortune, when there is no time, it is difficult to buy a good life

(Will-you-be-powerful,will-you-be-rich,won’t-you-get-the-real-life)”

“You-may-be-pretty,you-may-be-rich,won’t-you-get-the-real-life。” Elle hummed softly along with Ding Wei, her ears could no longer hear the noise of the waves.

The sea breeze blew the corners of the clothes of the two people, and from a distance, it seemed to be connected.

(The recent form is amazing!) In the name of the song, ask for favorites and recommended tickets! )
