However, that day really came unexpectedly.

It was a December evening.

Xiaoxing fell asleep peacefully on the bed in the intensive care ward on that silent night.

And this sleep, she never opened her eyes again.

Ruoli remembers that Xiaoxing once told her that she wished she could leave in a dream in the middle of the night, so that there would be no pain.

Ruoli knows that Xiaoxing is not afraid of pain, she is a strong girl, how can she be afraid of pain? She just didn't want to see Shao's mother sad, and she didn't want to see Ruoli crying for herself.

And she really did.

Even after falling asleep like this, Xiaoxing still had a smile on his face. At that time, she seemed to be comforting Shao's mother who was crying on her body, as if she was telling Ruoli with tears in her eyes on the side, saying that she was fine.

That night, there were few stars in the night sky, but there was one brightest one, Ruoli firmly believed that that one must be the little star that had accompanied her! Because, this is what Xiaoxing once told her.

That year—

Xiaoxing is eight years old.

If you are seven years old.

And that was the year --

If the centrifugal night, lose the star. Plunged into darkness again.

——

At this moment, Ruoli, who was sitting alone in the courtyard, was looking up at the night sky and counting the stars. The frozen red hand was holding a photo in his arms, it was a week before Xiaoxing left, Xiaoxing and Ruoli took a group photo, at that time Xiaoxing's long black hair had almost fallen out, and there were few hairs left Xiaoxing let Shao's mother cut it, even if there was no proud long hair, even if his face was sickly pale, Xiaoxing was still very beautiful, and he smiled like an angel.

It's been two months since Xiaoxing left, and every day Ruoli looks at this photo in a daze, and it takes more than an hour to look at it. Every day.

At this time, Ruo Liqin stroked the photo frame, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Put the photo in his hand on the wooden table, and then pick up the acoustic guitar placed next to the stool, under the moonlight, Ruoli's little hand is playing on the guitar, the rhythm is very slow, and it is played out one note at a time, but Ruoli still finished this song "Little Star".

"Xiaoxing, do you hear me? I learned and played with the guitar you gave me. Ruoli said with a bright smile as he looked at the photo excitedly.

Ruoli cherishes this guitar very much, because it was bought by Xiaoxing himself and given to her, although it is very cheap, Ruoli still likes it very much. As soon as she thought that this was given to her by Xiaoxing, she couldn't put it down.

And Xiaoxing's guitar Ruoli has always kept it with her, and she will carefully wipe it every day, just like a baby.

"My piano skills are terrible."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"I said, little monster, Xiaoxing is gone, don't you want to let her go?"

The tall Feng Ze walked over with his hands in his pockets and looked down at Ruoli with disdain.

"What do you mean?!" Ruoli put down the guitar, stood up, and looked up at Feng Ze.

The scar was still visible, but it didn't seem to be as big as it used to be.

Ruoli didn't avoid it this time, so she raised her head and looked directly at Feng Ze, because she knew that she couldn't continue to be cowardly, Xiaoxing had been looking at herself, and she couldn't let Xiaoxing worry

"Huh." Feng Ze laughed a few times, "How long has it been, and the little monster is not afraid of people?" ”

Ruoli did not speak.

"I said, monsters will only bring bad luck to us humans, and now Xiaoxing has left innocently because of you, but now you still have to pester her, what a vicious monster!"

"I didn't!" Ruoli had tears in her eyes, but she didn't let it flow.

"No?" Feng Ze said, he saw the picture frame on the table, smiled, quickly picked it up, and held it high so that Ruoli couldn't reach it.

"Feng Ze, you give it to me!!" If you jump, you can't reach it.

"For you?!"

"Well, please, Feng Ze, give it to me." Ruoli's tears still flowed, this was the only photo of her and Xiaoxing, and the only memory she could see with Xiaoxing. It can't be destroyed.

"Why? Why? Feng Ze said, "If there is such a thing, Xiaoxing will never be happy, do you want your good friend to be like this?" ”

"Me." If you are silent.

I saw Feng Ze showing a wicked smile, slowly pinching the top of the photo with both hands, and didn't wait for a non-leaveable exit,

The photo was torn.

Hands are released, and the photos are scattered on the ground.

Looking at the photo on the ground that was torn into pieces, Ruoli was stunned. Looking at the complete smile of one of the little stars, Ruoli cried.

Feng Ze put his hands in his pockets like this, and walked indifferently in front of Ruo Li, who was squatting on the ground.

Ruoli saw that a pair of old and familiar blue sneakers gently stepped over the photo.

The night in the courtyard was silent again, and no one heard the clanging sound of the liquid dripping to the ground......

————

The Spring Festival has passed, and it is a new year.

Every year after the Spring Festival, the orphanage will organize a children's outing activity, because for the sake of safety, the children in the orphanage can usually only wander around the school and the orphanage every day, and rarely have time to see the outside world, so after the joyful festival of the Spring Festival, the children are given the opportunity to go out of the door.

On this day, almost all the children went out, but Ruoli did not.

In fact, she had already reached the age of permission to participate in this activity, but she still didn't want to go, because no children wanted her to go, and even if she went, she would still be alone, so it was better to practice playing the guitar in the orphanage.

On the pretext of stomach discomfort, Ruoli asked Shao's mother to allow him to stay in the orphanage.

Bringing a guitar, Ruoli came to the back garden that would come every night as usual, even though there were many children in the yard today, but there were still some young children who did not go.

Ruoli, who didn't want to stay in a crowded place, found a corner with a large tree standing in front of it, and the sun was shining.

She sat down with her back to the tree, took out the guitar she had been holding all along, and played it carefully.

It's still the song "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle", but it's much more proficient than before, it's very crisp, and it hates to listen to it.

After the sound was finished, Ruoli suddenly felt the leaves and branches in the bushes on the side swinging, not the wind, as if there was something moving inside.

Ruoli thought it was a stray cat, so she boldly walked over, afraid of scaring the kitten, she gently brushed away the branches and leaves in front of her, but what appeared in front of her was not a cute kitten, but the face of a boy covered with mud!

"Ahh Ruoli was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, looking in surprise at the dirty boy of his age in front of him.

"What are you doing sitting on the ground?" The little boy had a clear black pupil and asked as he looked at Ruoli suspiciously

"I, I." For some reason, when I saw the bright eyes of the little boy, Ruoli was speechless.

The next second, he immediately realized the horror of his icy eyes, and hurriedly turned around, not wanting the little boy to see it.

"Your eyes ......"

The little boy still saw it.

Ruoli's eyes dimmed, and she knew that everyone who saw her eyes, except Xiaoxing and Shao's mother, would become disgusted with her. She thought that the little boy behind her at this time would also be scared.

Before she could escape, the little boy's pleasant voice sounded again: "It's so beautiful......"

At that moment, Ruoli seemed to hear the most heartwarming song in the world, and every cell in her body seemed to stop working, and her brain was completely frozen at that moment.

She still couldn't believe that there were other people besides Xiaoxing and Shao's mother who would praise her terrible ice-colored eyes, and there would be people who would not look at her with disdain.

Just when she was stunned, the little boy had already walked in front of her from behind her, staring at Ruoli's eyes with wide eyes: "It's really special!" It's so pretty! ”

At that moment, Ruoli seemed to have seen the light and seemed to see the arrival of spring.

Staring at the little boy's pure black eyes, Ruoli seemed to see himself smiling. It's like the little star's smile in that photo - an angelic smile.

In the dry land after the Spring Festival and winter, there is a young shoot that is quietly poking out its head......
