Chapter 360: Mysterious Laughter
She didn't want to deny that he was the last person she wanted to deceive.
But she didn't expect Zhu Yiheng's next move. He took her into his arms, and a long-lost warmth welled up in his heart and instantly dissipated. He muttered, repeated, it's over, it's all gone.
If you could, it would be eternal in an instant, and it would go on forever.
At his grandmother's funeral, Bai Xiqi saw Lin Xiaowan.
She was also the same as herself, dressed in black, with a mysterious smile on her white face, she said, Bai Xiqi, you didn't expect it, we are sisters.
Blood is thicker than water, and the same mother's womb comes out of the sisters!
After Bai Wanyi gave birth to her, she was sent to her grandmother's house soon after, and then gave birth to a second child, and gave it away without thinking about it.
If it weren't for the old photos she hid in her schoolbag, Lin Xiaowan would never have thought that his table mate would be his own sister. From the moment he was sensible, his adoptive mother gave him a photo of his biological mother, that is, from that moment on, Lin Xiaowan understood that he was also part of the Moonlight City, the Moonlight City that grew and raised Zhu Yiheng.
The corners of Lin Xiaowan's mouth twitched, and he said in a very stubborn tone, Bai Xiqi, in this life, you want me to call you sister.
However, this ever-changing world likes to develop in unexpected ways.
For example, Baishuicheng, who "regards death as home", married a wife again, gave birth to a son, and showed off to others, hehe, I finally have a son in Baishuicheng.
Another example is Lin Xiaowan, this stubborn girl actually hung her head and came to her like a lost flower, and begged her in a low voice, good sister, my good sister, you give me Zhu Yiheng! I know he likes you, but I can't live without him!
After being dizzy by this chaotic and normal order world, she would always habitually go to Bai Yishi.
Bai Yishi's shop is in the most inconspicuous corner of Moonlight City, she said with a smile, Bai Yishi, are you stupid or an idiot, people open shops to pick up lively places, but he has picked up the most quiet place.
People don't open shops, they are lonely. Bai Xiqi thought so.
Bai Yishi said, when will you be able to save enough money for your wife to open such a store?
Before the age of 18, Bai Xiqi's ideal was to study hard and become a qualified successor to socialism in the future. This is the result of the subtle teaching of the female Guan Gong teacher back then. Then, after her 18th birthday, her dream was: to go to the warmest city, open a bookstore, open a column in a youth magazine, and pile up her thoughts.
She began to understand how to pursue what she needed in her limited time, and it didn't matter.
In the last two months of the college entrance examination, she and Zhu Yiheng were in pairs in public, allowing Lin Xiaowan's eyes to roll straight to the sky.
The young man's heart also began to unfold little by little, and in the bright summer day, it gradually began to be exposed.
Zhu Yiheng said, Bai Xiqi, do you know why I have to stay away from the Moonlight City?
She smiled like a flower, just shook her head, how?
The story goes back to a light and breezy night eighteen years ago, when the moonlight diffused the entire small town, cold and ethereal, unscrupulously devouring people's sensitive nerves.
Bai Xiqi has always wondered why the children in Moonlight City are all surnamed Bai, but his surname is Zhu? Just because he is Zhu Guoqiao's child.
Zhu Guoqiao, an intellectual who was transferred from the province to the Moonlight City 20 years ago, that is, the town elder who implemented family planning in the Moonlight City, was overjoyed after giving birth to a baby boy. Zhu Guoqiao was afraid that the lifeline in the palm of his hand would die suddenly, so the couple decided to have another child, and the second child was a girl. In the patriarchal concept of Moonlight City, female babies will marry out sooner or later, so what's the use of feeding and wearing good food? In his memory, every time before eating, his mother would call his name first, and the little sister was more sensible than him, and would help the adults to cook the meal, and sit on the small bench to eat by herself. After all, Zhu Guoqiao is a person with status, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a loving father, even for his little daughter, he is like a boy in the palm of his hand, so that time, the provincial leader came to the family, he habitually snatched the little sister's toys, and when the angry little sister scolded him for being a pig, Zhu Guoqiao said to him: "Yiheng is a manly man, let my sister oh." At this time, he saw that the leaders had obvious smiles on their faces.
He thought that if his little sister's illness had been discovered and treated earlier, maybe he would not have died, and his body and bones would have strengthened a little bit, but he was not happy at all, and every time before he fell asleep, he would always see the familiar face of his little sister, she pointed to his nose and scolded him for being a pig, and then, his mother would beat her butt hard.
The Moonlight City in the XX middle school he applied for was very far away, so Zhu Guoqiao was afraid of losing this precious son, so he was always obsessed, but fortunately, Baishuicheng, who was sent to the door, asked for this place to his daughter with a smile on his face, and he also made a personal favor by pushing the boat. It's just that later, he was determined to go, Zhu Guoqiao was already spoiling him, and he couldn't bear to let him not eat or drink all day long, and he did his best to arrange for his son to go to XX Middle School.
Therefore, he wants to leave the Moonlight City, leave the place where his little sister's childhood was buried, and go to a place where no one knows him, which is the best way to escape from reality and the most direct means of redemption.
Bai Xiqi listened to him quietly, at the end, she smiled, I am luckier than your little sister, because I have a grandmother who gave me Bai Xiqi's name, and a teenager who gave me meat buns to eat.
The college entrance examination is nothing more than the most severe challenge for any student who has studied hard for 12 years, but for her, it is the quietest time in her life.
In this short time, they snuggled up to each other, confiding in each other their little secrets that they had hidden for many years, without the bleak brightness of the Moonlight City, in this quiet city, swaying rainbow-like dreams.
When filling in the college entrance examination volunteer, Zhu Yiheng said, let's go together. She didn't speak, but the light in her eyes dissipated little by little, and she saw Lin Xiaowan's face, which was as white as this volunteer form.
yes, let's go! Get out of here and go far.
He filled in the university of the North, a prestigious school. She filled in Southern University, which is also a prestigious school.
Many years later, when Bai Xiqi told this story to his boyfriend A, A was writing a paper, and he didn't raise his head, just laughed hard, Bai Xiqi, you deserve to write stories, and your ability to make up stories is so strong.
She writes stories, but when she was writing a column today, she remembered this past and was hypocritical.
Boyfriend A's family runs a bookstore, the store is not big, but it faces south, quiet and beautiful.
She thought that when she was 23 years old, she would marry him, sell books and read books with him, have a child, and tell the story of "Snow White" to the child.
"Why aren't the heroes and heroines together at the end of the story?" He suddenly stopped what he was doing, stared into her eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he would be her best listener.
Zhu Yiheng may never know why she chose a southern university so resolutely when she filled in the volunteers. How could he know the story between her and Lin Xiaowan, when she left, she saw Lin Xiaowan smile for the first time, laughing so satisfied, so innocent, their family owed her too much, and she couldn't be ruthless to take away everything from her sister again.
So, Zhu Yiheng, you are really a pig! Stupid can.
In her spare time, Bai Xiqi likes to listen to Zhang Xinzhe's "White Moonlight", and occasionally misses the old time spent in the Moonlight City, the two teenagers who walked in her youth, and now, one has gone to the far north, and the other guards the dilapidated shop.
May it be well.
Once, he gave her meat buns and gave him the most rustic smile.
Once, he cut her eraser and gave her the warmest hug.
Everything belongs only to the past.
However, in an instant, the college entrance examination has been roaring for nearly three years, and every time I think of it, it seems to be yesterday, vividly.
Ye Yipeng looked at the little girl in front of him with interest, always with a smile on his face.
Listen to her talk about her college entrance examination.
In the end, I didn't get into any earth-shattering university, but got into my current university with a score three points higher than the first line.
The college entrance examination is still an unforgettable memory, and in 2012, the legendary end of the world, I took the college entrance examination in that year.
When there were still 100 days left before the college entrance examination, classes were suspended for a day, and on a hot day, the senior teacher led us around Tong'an City, shouting all the way: "I want to go to university." ”
Young and vigorous, we are all high-spirited, even if the students who are more quiet and frail on weekdays, they also participated, no one was absent throughout the year, the high school I attended was only a second-level standard school Xiamen Second Foreign Chinese School, referred to as the Second Foreign School, located in the historical ancient city of Tong'an, the school atmosphere is good, teachers and students are very energetic, many people evaluate our school - "All the boys who come out of the second foreign language are gentlemen, and all the girls are ladies." ”
We just ran all the way with the flag, laughing and shouting, and it was an indescribable joy of youth.
Finally, we ran to the Confucian Temple (Tong'an is the hometown of the Confucian thinker Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty), stopped, and some nearby primary school students gave us singing and dancing, giving us encouragement, and even the district leaders came over.
Take a group photo at the Confucian Temple, and then, write your college entrance examination wishes on the prayer card and hang it on the back wall of the Confucian Temple.
I was young and frivolous, and what I wrote at the time was that I was going to Sun Yat-sen University.
There are also some interesting things, that is, when we ran all the way around Tong'an City and shouted all the way, someone who didn't know took a photo of us and uploaded it on Weibo, with the title "The students of the second foreign language could not bear the pressure of studying, and they marched and demonstrated collectively." "We all laughed at the time.
The college entrance examination is approaching day by day, and the psychological burden is increasing day by day, although the teachers have been encouraging us, but I think that after 12 years of study, we are about to face a major test, so it is strange not to be nervous.
My biggest problem is insomnia, lack of sleep, sleepiness during the day, obviously very tired, but I don't know what's going on, I just can't sleep.
Especially in the last few days of the college entrance examination, the weather was extremely hot, I went to a boarding school at that time, there was no air conditioning and electric fan, and when the weather was hot, I could only take my books to the balcony to blow the wind.
