Because of my mother's illness, or because I was afraid of the eyes of my classmates when they found out who I was, I asked the school for a week off, and on the last night of December, I received a call from my music teacher, Mr. Yuan, who said that the music competition was approaching, and even if I had some conditions at home, could I take two or three hours a day to come to school to practice collectively.

I agreed.

So he said that from the second day to the day of the competition, from 3 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, he practiced in groups. I promised to go, but Mr. Yuan cared about me a few more words before hanging up the phone.

I flipped through the calendar and remembered what Rong Ze said on the way to the museum.

"See you in the music classroom at three p.m. on January 1st."

Rong Ze ......

After that incident, I didn't show up in class, about my identity, and the quarrel between me and Luo Xue, the classmates in the class should be curious about gossip.

Jiang Wan called a few times, she was very surprised by my surname Shen, and she chatted a lot, probably hearing my displeasure, so she didn't talk about "Shen Yi'an" anymore. Before hanging up the phone, she also said that Yang Ban suppressed all the rumors about me and Luo Xue and did not allow anyone to talk about it, so I can come back with peace of mind after dealing with things.

But I didn't dare.

I couldn't ask her about Rong Ze's current situation.

I clicked on Rong Ze's dialog box and repeated it dozens of times, but I didn't dare to say a word.

His finger hesitated in the message bar for half an hour, the phone vibrated for a while, and Rong Ze actually sent a message.

"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, in the music room."

He didn't forget!

I was so excited that I was about to fly.

After pacing back and forth in the room for a long time, when Fang's mother knocked on the door and came in to deliver milk, I had not yet recovered from my emotions.

"Miss?"

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you Mother Fang."

"You're welcome, Miss go to bed early."

So I tapped my finger on the screen, "Okay." ”

January 1st is the New Year's Day, the school requires the students to come back at 6 o'clock in the evening for self-study, I explained to the doorman that I am a student participating in the music competition, and I came back early today to practice, and the uncle let me in.

When I walked into the art building, I looked at my watch, and it was estimated that it would take about the same time to go up.

The music room was on the sixth floor of the top floor of the art building, and there was no elevator, so I had to climb one floor at a time.

When I was standing in the hallway, I saw that the innermost classroom was lit up, and Rong Ze had indeed arrived.

So I walked briskly, and as I stood in the doorway, I heard the beautiful sound of the piano inside.

"I heard the raindrops falling on the green grass/I heard the bell ringing in the distance/But I didn't hear your voice/Seriously call my name/I didn't understand feelings when I fell in love with you/I felt unforgettable when I parted/Why didn't I find out that I met you/It's the best thing in life/Maybe I was busy smiling and crying at the time/Busy chasing the meteors in the sky/People forget it as a matter of course/Who has been silently guarding the same place in the wind and rain/It turns out that you are the luck I want to keep the most/It turns out that we were so close to love/ The decision to fight against the world for me / The rain that accompanied me / Every scene is your spotless sincerity / How lucky to meet you / But I have lost the right to shed tears for you / I wish in the sky I can't see / You spread your wings / How lucky she will be to meet your destiny"

It's "Little Lucky".

I stopped in front of the door to enjoy, but the sound stopped.

I heard applause in the classroom.

"Brother Ze, you played so well! I've never heard you play! You wait, I'll go to the bathroom, and I'll be back later. ”

It's a girl's voice.

The piano sounded again, and the girl opened the door, and she met my eyes.

Luo Xue.

She glanced back at Rong Ze, who was sitting in the classroom, then closed the door and looked at me mockingly.

"Yo, Miss Shen is so idle today? Don't take care of Aunt Shen? ”

"Luo Xue, what do you mean?"

"What do I dare to mean? Who are you? Miss Shen, the daughter of Mayor Shen, dare I have half a meaning? Luo Xue clasped her hands on her chest, although she was laughing at herself in her words, she looked domineering.

"Luo Xue, my mother's matter, the Shen family will not pursue you."

"Accountability? Who are you holding me accountable? My Luo Xue suffered this change, and my Luo family fell to this, isn't it thanks to your Shen family? Isn't it thanks to your good father? It's really my father's intimate little padded jacket, and you really fight for your father! Shen, Yi, An. ”

I couldn't stand her aggressiveness, and I couldn't get used to her talking about me and the man, so I shook my head, "Don't say it again!" ”

"What? Can't stand it? When my mother died, did you think about how I felt? ”

"Shut up!" I pushed Luo Xue hard, and just as the door of the music classroom opened, Rong Ze looked at me and reached out to support Luo Xue, who was about to fall.

"What are you doing?" Rong Ze questioned me.

"I ...... Not like that, Rong Ze...... You listen to my explanation...... "I didn't want him to see this side of me, so when he broke it, I was incoherent and anxious to explain, but I slipped and fell to the ground when I took a step forward, and before I could struggle to get up, Luo Xue, who was supported by him, suddenly smiled."

"Explain? What to explain? Explain to Brother Ze the misfortune of the Rong family five years ago? Or explain to me what happened to my Locke family two months ago? Or are you just trying to prove that you just pushed me accidentally? ”

"What are you talking about......?" I was stunned by Luo Xue's words, and I forgot the most important thing for a while.

The misfortune of the Rong family five years ago.

Five years ago......

That thing!

"Need I remind you? Brother Ze's father is called Rong Jingshan. ”

Rongjingshan!

Rong Ze ......

Appearance.

yes, how can I forget this surname?

How can I forget this last name to which I have always been indebted?

I looked up at Rong Ze, he was indifferent to Luo Xue's words, and I trembled when I met my gaze.

This Rong Ze, I'm too unfamiliar.

In his eyes, there was no color I liked, and all I could see was the same as that man.

Unsympathetic.

"Miss Shen, it's cold on the ground, get up quickly."

He didn't give me another look, and looked down at Luo Xue, his eyes full of worry.

"Are you alright? Now that you've heard the song, there's no heating here, it's cold. Go back, you'd like to hear me play it to you next time. ”

Luo Xue nodded, "Just listen to Brother Ze, let's go." ”

The two of them just left.

Rong Ze didn't look at me again from beginning to end.

He said he had never played the piano for anyone but his mother.

Music classrooms are everywhere, he said.

He said, I'll play it to you next time.

He said, Miss Shen.

Rong Ze, Rong Ze, I was wrong.

The backs of the two of them grew farther and farther apart, until they disappeared, and I knew that we were strangers after all.

It's so bad, Shen Yi'an!

I struggled to get up from the ground.

"It's so cold."

I wiped tears from my face and tightened my down jacket.

Follow the path they have walked, step by step.

However, after all, they parted ways.

【Jiu】

I haven't seen him since.

Because I participated in competitions all over the country, I took a long-term leave from school. Later, I got several national certificates one after another, and with this I was guaranteed to enter a music university, and it was only natural that I never went to school again.

I didn't go to the graduation ceremony of the school.

I was afraid of the eyes of those people.

I knew those things didn't come out, and I knew they weren't looking at me the way I thought.

Their gaze is not disgust.

But what I hate more than disgust are those greedy, vain, clinging, envious eyes.

Or maybe I hate myself even more.

All in all, I'm not in front of everybody.

When I was about to leave the city, I couldn't resist going back and taking a look.

Standing at the school gate, I remembered that one day two months before the music competition, I was about to go home after practice, and I saw Rong Ze standing under a tree waiting for someone. I want to wonder if he was waiting for Ren Xiao or waiting for me at that time. We also seemed to have met Luo Xue, and she smiled and called him "Brother Ze".

I finally remembered what Luo Xue shouted when I was shoulder-to-shoulder with him and left Luo Xue.

"Brother Ze, your family is not over there......"

I later learned that he had always been on a different path from me, and that we were destined to go against each other.

It's just that he noticed me a long, long time ago.

On the night that I was pulled away from Luo Xue's hatred, he chose to take a long, long detour to walk with me.

I really should be grateful for that unspoken companionship, and unspoken love.

It's a pity that I hated myself and lost that joy in the end.

It was another September, and I boarded the train to the university.

I sat in the card room, finally pulled off my headphones in annoyance, opened the car door, and wanted to stand in the corridor connecting the passage to breathe.

The door was pulled open with such a loud noise that a young man who had been standing in the hallway turned his head, and I froze in place, and he smiled.

Rong Ze.

I reacted suddenly, and then turned to run, to escape from this hallway, to escape from his smile, to break free from my tangle of guilt and joy.

My hand grips the doorknob.

"Yi'an."

His voice was gentle as if soaked in the sweetness of the summer.

I turned my head slowly, the light suddenly dimmed, the train passed through the long tunnel, the whistle was humming, and we looked at each other in the darkness.

"I love you."

"I'm sorry."

Hearing each other's words, we all laughed in unison.

So Rong Ze took that step firmly and walked towards me.

Where to stop at the next stop, I don't know.

Which of us will say goodbye first, I don't know.

Where this train ends, I don't know.

But, I know—

What I am hugging in my arms at this moment is warm, my love.
