Chapter 16: The Long Night
In the barefoot boy's bedroom, the lights had been turned off, and it was dark, and the barefoot boy was lying flat on the bed.
His eyes were open, but they were not pitch black, and a faint light filtered in through the window, giving the white ceiling a faint gray.
The barefoot boy closed his glasses and turned sideways, trying to sleep, but couldn't.
He rolled over again and turned sideways to the other side.
I thought I would be able to fall asleep now, but as soon as I closed my eyes, endless thoughts instantly came to my heart.
All kinds of memories and feelings are intertwined in my mind, and I can't tell what it feels like.
It seems to be sad, but it is more than sorrowful; It seems to be a pity, but it is more than a pity; It seems to be sorrowful, but it is more than sorrowful......
The barefoot boy thinks a lot, about the past, about the present, about the future; About family, about friendship, about love; It's about life, it's about dreams, it's about life...... Too many thoughts filled the mind of the barefoot boy.
He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't; He wanted to cry, but he couldn't. Therefore, he could only think quietly about it this night......
In the end, the barefoot boy simply added a little more atmosphere to the long night---- he took out his mobile phone, opened the music player, and put on the music.
The melody sounded, the first song was Mayday's "Noah's Ark", and the barefoot boy unconsciously hummed "Goodbye, strawberry donuts............"
Goodbye, Miss 〇; Goodbye, college entrance examination; Goodbye, high school; Goodbye, Dabai and you; Goodbye, my youth......
Singing and singing, the barefoot boy fell silent, and his thoughts drifted away with the melody, and he didn't know where he went.
Soon, one song ended, and another song ended. This time it's FarAwayFromHome.
With that bleak melody and timbre, even a person like the barefoot boy who is basically an idiot of English can hear the helplessness in the song.
Far from home. yes, I'm going to leave my hometown soon!
Leave this town, leave this city, go to a distant place, even if you don't know the destination, but you still have to go far away!
Leaving my hometown, leaving my family and friends, and leaving the Miss 〇 I love......
I know my parents will miss me, but what about Miss 〇? Will she miss me?
Probably not, right? When separated, she will also go to a distant place, to a strange city, to start a new life.
Then she met someone she liked and forgot about me.
She's going to be happy, happy, happy...... Of course, she will also get hurt and cry......
Then, she will get up from falling again and again, grow up from setbacks again and again, and become strong and mature little by little......
Soon, it was a new song again, this time it was Mayday's "I Miss You So Suddenly".
Listening to it, the barefoot boy couldn't hold back any longer, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye......
The plot of the past once again came to mind:
"Hey, what's wrong with you, you look so unhappy." The barefoot boy looked at Miss 〇 who was lying on the table with a sullen face and asked.
"No, I just didn't sleep well last night." Miss 〇 looked to the side quietly and replied lightly.
"Really?" The barefoot boy asked.
"Really." Miss 〇 looked to the side and said.
"What about the liar, if you usually go to bed early when you're tired, how can you still talk to me now." The barefoot boy said with a look of disbelief.
"Really?" Miss 〇 still looked to the side and asked lightly.
"Yes." The barefoot boy replied in the affirmative.
"Well, then I'm not happy." Miss 〇 still looked to the side and replied lightly.
"In that case, I'll sing to you." Said the barefoot boy.
"Okay." Miss 〇 finally turned her head, looked at the barefoot boy, and said.
"I'm most afraid of the sudden silence of the air, and I'm most afraid of the sudden concern of my friends...... Does it sound good? After the barefoot boy finished singing, he looked at Miss 〇 and asked cautiously.
"Okay, by the way, what kind of song is this?" Miss 〇 asked.
"Mayday's "Suddenly I Miss You", you won't have heard it!" The barefoot boy looked at Miss 〇 in disbelief and said.
"Nope." Miss 〇 said with an innocent face.
"Okay!" The barefoot boy said helplessly.
…………
I want to go back to that time again! We were all very good at that time...... It's a pity that I can't go back!
The barefoot boy let out a long sigh.
With a sigh, it's a new song again. This time it's Xiao Cheap's "When I Sing This Song".
It's a very old, old song, but it's still in the barefoot boy's playlist, and I've been reluctant to delete it.
In my memory, he also sang this song to Miss 〇. Of course, there must be more than these two, and there are many more songs that the barefoot boy has sung to Miss 〇......
"When I sang this song, I thought of you again, and I remember that we were all happy in that year......" The barefoot boy hummed softly to the melody.
〇 Miss, I'm thinking about you, are you thinking about me? Definitely not!
I think you must have slept, sleeping soundly and dreaming.
I just don't know, can I be lucky enough to appear in your dreams? ……
The night was deeper, and it was completely quiet. But in the barefoot boy's dormitory, the melody still floats.
The barefoot boy lay flat with his head in his hands, the melody echoing in his ears, and the eyes were a pitiful pale gray of the night.
Outside, the lights went out one after another, and people who had worked hard all day gradually fell asleep.
Only the barefoot boy was still wandering in the sea of thoughts......
"Alas, the night is long......"
A vague sigh echoed through the darkness......
The music has been turned off, but the sorrow in my heart can't be stopped.
For the barefoot boy, tonight was destined to be a long and difficult night. It's not about other people, it's about the environment, because it's his own choice.
But who knows?
In the middle of the night, who knows who will stay awake all night and stay alone for the long night?
There is no one but yourself.
