Chapter 4 – Twists and Turns
Tick-tock, Fang Chen listened to his mechanical watch moving around every second, he was a little anxious, he was trapped in a dark, deathly silence, only the dust that flew from time to time choked him coughed again and again.
"You, are you okay?" There was a faint voice in the dead silence.
"I'm okay, where's the girl?" Fang Chen asked Qu Qinghe.
"She fainted, fainted, oh no, she woke again!" Qu Qinghe's answer seemed excited.
"Ji Jing, are you still okay?" Qu Qinghe stammered and asked.
"I'm fine, headache."
Hearing that the girl had woken up, a big stone in Fang Chen's heart fell.
"Hey, are you called Qu Qinghe?" Fang Chen asked knowing in his heart.
"Hmm." Qu Qinghe replied cautiously, "Are you?" ”
I could only hear Ji Jing, who was lying on the ground, say faintly: "He is Fang Shen." ”
As soon as he heard that it was Fang Shen, Qu Qinghe immediately knew who it was.
After revealing each other's identities, the three of them fell into a long silence, and it was Ji Jing who broke the silence first.
"Talk to me, or sing to me, I want to sleep, I'm afraid I'll never wake up again if I fall asleep."
Ji Jing said weakly, she was actually very excited in her heart, after all, it was the first time to be able to contact Fang Shen so closely, she wanted to leave more good things in her memory, after all, this crisp and beautiful voice came from the god of A.
In fact, Qu Qinghe was a little embarrassed in her heart, who called her a stammer, so she never tried to sing. But Fang Chen is different, he was born with a good voice, whether it is bass or treble, he can master it well, switch freely, and affectionate and full, unforgettable.
still remembers that inter-school party, his song "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" shocked the audience, fascinated many girls, and even the female math teacher who has always been rigid burst into tears.
"I'll start first." Fang Chen didn't think much about it, this is his approachability, he sang the "famous song" again - "Ten Miles of Red Makeup", this time he sang very poignantly, sad and quiet.
"It's your turn."
Fang Chen stopped with a song.
"I ......" Qu Qinghe's face was really red at this time, if there was light, Fang Chen would definitely be able to see a petal of red peony on her face.
had to bite the bullet, Qu Qinghe sang an ancient song "Mountain and Moon Love", the vast vocal range, and there is no lack of tension, the most important thing is that she doesn't stutter at all, the lyrics are very beautiful, but she sings more beautifully, because of her singing, everything has a sense of picture.
"You are the white moonlight in my heart, running over the hills to my heart, who is playing the exotic huqin, the night breeze is slightly cool, the night breeze is slightly cool, I only want to lie on the hill that belongs to you at the moment......"
Fang Chen was almost obsessed with listening, this music flowed into his heart like a river, he had never felt that a woman was so special, maybe the most beautiful thing in the world was the initial heartbeat.
And for the first time, he produced a substance similar to pheromones on a girl. At that time, he was still immature and as innocent as the morning.
Because they heard the sound of people singing, the search and rescue team found them, moved away the surrounding rubble and broken walls, and three gray-faced middle school students were in sight.
Hearing that his son was rescued, Fang's father cried with joy, while Fang Xi next to him had a hanging-up attitude, because he fled to an Internet café to play games and did not come to this disaster in person, so he looked like he had nothing to do with himself.
It's not that Fang Yi doesn't like this brother, it's that he is so lazy by nature, and his great sorrow and anger don't seem to have anything to do with him, he is just cold by nature.
The remaining seven students were also rescued. This large-scale earthquake in City A was in the news, and schools in many places were forced to close classes, and Middle School A was no exception.
Because of this earthquake, Fang Chen planted inexplicable feelings in his heart, he sometimes dreamed in the middle of the night, in the dream it was the graceful woman, holding a book past his window, and then a flower fell between her hair, she smiled and pushed it away with her small soft fingers, I don't know why he remembered the allusion of a smile.
When he recalled the face of this woman during the day, it was quite similar to Qu Qinghe, did he really like her?
The earthquake brought huge losses to City A, and the classes of middle school students were delayed, so they had to postpone the final joint entrance examination. For the first time, Fang Chen felt that the days when he didn't study were so tasteless, maybe he just didn't see the people he wanted to see.
So he also began to soak in the library, which was in the basement, and it was built very solidly, without collapsing or toppling.
Here, he met Qu Qinghe for the second time, and the first time he saw her was half a year ago, because she was very beautiful, so she was dazzling everywhere and impressive.
Maybe he didn't pay much attention to her before, and he rarely came to the library, because he would cause the crowd to be restless wherever he went, after all, he was Fang Shen, a senior student.
Besides, he has a library at home, and he doesn't have to borrow or return books at school, and he doesn't like to be constrained.
I didn't expect that his younger brother Fang Yi was also in the library, which is not surprising, he has this habit for a day or two, he is just wondering what book he is reading, maybe he just wants to live to die, after all, his current homework is too bad.
Seeing that the joint entrance examination was getting closer and closer, Fang Chen also felt a sense of pressure, and he reminded himself that there was a brave man walking with him. And Qu Qinghe looked like a thunderbolt and carried out his own review road.
On the day the list was released, Fang Chen didn't dare to look at it, he was afraid of failure for the first time
, he was afraid that his pride would never return.
It was Erfat who grabbed him and said, "Dude, it's still you cow, it's still you who is the first in the grade." ”
"What about the girl in class five?"
"She, not long ago, I went to interview Mingzhi University, successfully passed the interview, and was sent to Mingzhi University, so I didn't participate in this joint entrance examination."
What the? Guaranteed to be sent to Ming Zhi University? Even if there is such a place, it should be himself, Fang Chen's heart was a little confused, but he still remained silent.
Maybe it was because he saw Fang Chen's twisted brows, and Er Fat answered his questions: "This girl's English is too strong, and she won the gold medal in the National High School English Competition, especially in spoken English, I really doubt that her stuttering is fake." ”
Yes, on the day the list was released, he also saw the news, but he didn't expect her to be favored by Mingzhi University so soon.
In the following summer vacation, he would often dream of Qu Qinghe and her song "Mountains and Moons".
This day is Tanabata, he wrote a warm letter of praise as soon as he was hot, in fact, it is a love letter, and he gave so many beautiful words to a woman so warmly for the first time, which is the throbbing of his life.
After writing it, he was ashamed to express his appreciation, so he casually pressed the letter under "Alive" on the table. Turn around and go outside to breathe in the air.
Fang Xi went to look for the book "Alive", but he didn't find it, so he went to Fang Chen's room, and when he raised his eyes, he saw "Alive", and just as he was about to take it, a letter floated to the ground. By the time he finished reading it, he had already smiled wickedly and indifferently.
Fang Chen walked in the door and saw that he was holding the letter in his hand, and his face was flushed. "I don't think she likes you, you don't belong to the same sky." Fang Zhen Zhen has words.
"Will she like you, then?" Fang Chen was a little annoyed, and said provocatively.
"I'll make a bet with you, she will accept my gift and reject your love letter on the Qixi Festival, how about it, dare to bet?" Fang Chen's eyes shot a cold light of disdain.
The two brothers both know where Qu Qinghe's family is, after all, they have sold scrap books at her house, in fact, it is just to help Qu Qinghe's family, after all, their family has a million-level luxury car.
On the day of Qixi Festival, the sun was slightly blazing, and Fang Chen didn't know the bottom of his heart when he took the praise text, but he didn't believe that Qu Qinghe would receive Fang Chen's gift.
Standing in the shade of the big tree, knowing the noisy shouting, after waiting for a long time, Qu Qinghe appeared, Fang Chen shyly stuffed the letter into her hand, "Here you go." Qu Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and returned the letter to Fang Chen, who was also stunned and did not make a sound.
At this time, Fang Yi appeared, he took out a stack of paper and handed it to Qu Qinghe, and at the same time said, "Senior sister, this is my polished manuscript, please take a look." Then he magically conjured up a "Alive", "Send you." You can see the surprise in Qu Qinghe's eyes, and she happily accepted it.
Fang Chen pursed his lips at Fang Chen.
At this time, Fang Chen woke up like a dream, Qu Qinghe is the president of the Literary Society, and his younger brother Fang Chen has to submit a manuscript to the school magazine every month, the two will not have no intersection, that "Alive" is probably the subject she likes to read, and he just took it to press the letter, and he didn't even turn it over.
In this way, it seems to confirm that he and Qu Qinghe are not birds living in the same sky.
His vinegar is pouring into the sea, from childhood to adulthood, which point is he worse than that roundworm? Will you write a few bad articles, and you can get a beauty? Why doesn't he deserve the best?
And Fang Yi finally smiled indifferently: "You don't know her at all." ”
In fact, Fang Xi had already noticed the red face in this library, she had read all the books he borrowed, and he was also interested in the books she borrowed, and sometimes he would also happen to borrow the same book, which showed that similar souls were attractive.
He knew that she would show up at the library at 2 p.m. on weekends and leave at six, and she loved to drink salt soda, always bringing a lemon-flavored bottle of salt soda. Her writing is beautiful and refined, graceful and atmospheric.
He knew her, and she knew him.
She knew that he was a well-known pen in the school magazine, laughing and scolding and wandering in words, with deep thoughts and close logic. Even he admires such a free and easy boy with a true temperament, although his homework is really bad.
The next memories made it difficult for Fang Chen to face, Fang Chen successfully performed in the college entrance examination, but was admitted to the same extremely excellent Duxue University because of the problem of volunteering.
Just when Fang Chen was depressed, in this college entrance examination, what was unexpected was Qu Qinghe, who had been escorted by Mingzhi University, and she was admitted to the provincial champion of the province.
But it seems that it is just fate that lives up to the people who have a heart, who called this girl's faith Rumi - I was born with wings, how can I be willing to prostrate on the ground.
Television stations flocked to report on her study deeds, newspapers and other news media reports, titled - a beautiful woman who grew up in suffering, a champion of beauty and wisdom.
After two years, his younger brother Fang Yi seemed to have opened his mind, no longer greedy for fun, and his grades were getting better and better, and he had the potential to catch up.
The most astonishing thing is that my younger brother participated in a national Yuling Cup essay contest and won the first prize, and was admitted to Mingzhi University with a score of 50 points in the college entrance examination. In this way, the younger brother actually stumbled into Mingzhi University and studied in the Chinese Department.
The younger brother and Qu Qinghe also have more and more intersections, the next year, the younger brother launched a strong offensive against Qu Qinghe, after a lot of good things, the two finally held hands with each other and became boyfriend and girlfriend, this sister-brother love was also once a good story in Mingzhi University.
At this time, Qu Qinghe is no longer the introverted girl who stammers less, on the contrary, she is confident, cheerful, and sunny. Miraculously, she was able to cure her stutter by practicing singing.
Now she can speak fluent and standard Mandarin, in the huge Mingzhi campus, she doesn't look like a girl who slept in a garbage nest in her childhood, she is out of the dust, it is a blooming hibiscus, it is a plum blossom in the snow, it is an elegant chrysanthemum.
During his time at school, Fang Yi formed a band called May Poet, who wrote his own lyrics and composed music and sang by the team, which caused a lot of sensation on campus.
There was a company that wanted to package them, but he refused, "because I want to make my own music." ”
After graduating, Qu Qinghe chose to stay at his alma mater, A University, as an ordinary high school English teacher. Fang Chen didn't have so many wonderful memories, he graduated and continued to take the graduate school entrance examination, plagiarized his thesis was discovered, and his graduate degree was canceled, and Fang's father was disappointed in him.
Two years later, Fang Yi also graduated, and he has become the gold medal chief writer of a newspaper during his school years, during which he also published two books, a novel "Look at Me When You Look at the Clouds", and a poetry collection "Heart Burial", life seems to be smooth sailing.
And all this was seen by his brother Fang Chen through gritted teeth, he not only took away his beloved, but also took away the wonderful life that should have belonged to him.
He hated, hated his own incompetence, but he hated this man's contempt even more, he took everything that belonged to him lightly, at that moment, he was no longer a light and breezy god, and people gradually forgot this title.
On the contrary, his younger brother began to be canonized as a god, and people called him "ant god", because he once quoted Gu Cheng's sentence: "People can be born like ants and beautiful as gods", yes, he is just an ant, and he is the god who looks down on all beings.
So he carefully weaved a vast net for his younger brother, and slowly tightened his dark boundaries.
The memory is pulled back to the present, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Fang Chen's mouth, who was taking a nap in the study, he thought that he would never come back, and no one would fight with me anymore! Haha, haha!
So this young man with round-framed gold-rimmed glasses slowly lay down on the chaise longue, letting his thoughts drift away, and time suddenly froze on that day......
