CHAPTER XXXIV
Time turned, and many years later, on a summer morning, the dew had not yet completely evaporated, and the light of the sun shone brightly. Xie Zijin smiled in the morning light, patted her hand and said, "I will follow you wherever you go." ”
Time has dropped everything, it used to be Lin You who guarded Xie Zijin who was in despair, and now it is Xie Zijin who is guarding Lin You, who has no heart and lungs.
That's it, good.
The school put up banners to cheer for the students of the college entrance examination, and Lin You walked around the corridor of the third high school with three boxes of nougat.
Lu Liu came out of the classroom, his face was tired, and he still squeezed out a smile that was not too ugly when he saw Lin You, "Sister Lin You, what are you looking for me?" ”
Lin You gave him the box, "This is what my mother did, you, Kong Yu, and Liu Yiping, one box per person." And this! ”
She took out a few red ropes from her pocket, "This is given to you by Mo Xin, saying that with the blessing of Wenqu Xing, you will definitely be able to meet gods and kill gods and meet Buddhas*!" Unstoppable gold list title! ”
Lu Liu smiled, "This is what Mo Xin can say." He put away his things and looked at the empty hallway, and then at the classmates in the classroom. As if he had something to say, he flinched again in a hesitation.
"Okay, go back and review, I'm going back to memorizing words, anyway, come on!"
Lin You tried his best to lighten his steps, waving his hand to Lu Liu and making a cheering gesture, the light in his eyes coincided with the midsummer sun, and it was dazzling.
The teachers told them that the college entrance examination is almost equal to the time when their fate is decided. That... What is fate?
The willow trees on the side of the road fluttered their branches, and Lin You sat by the river blowing the wind and asked, "What is fate?" Xie Zijin was stunned for a moment.
It seems that no one from childhood to adulthood can tell them what their fate really is? It can't be seen or touched, but there's an invisible force that makes you have to give in.
"Fate is probably the person you can meet in your life and what happens to him."
Xie Zijin said casually, he never believed in fate, he was not a hot-blooded boy, but he never knew how to face fate.
Lin You propped his head, watching the river surface wrinkled by the wind, watching the leaves fall tightly in the water and stir up ripples, shattering her and Xie Zijin's reflections.
Lu Liu: They have a week to take the college entrance examination, if they go to college, will they be able to meet in the future?
Parting always came uninvited without saying hello, Lin You was very melancholy, "Thinking about the days when they were in the band before, the more I think about it, the more I miss it." Xie Zijin, you said that it was such a fateful exam, what if you didn't play well? If they go to college, will we never see each other again? ”
Xie Zijin stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, "You are stupid, Lu Liu, they are the same as us, this is the hometown of birth and growth, no matter how far they go in the future, as long as everyone still remembers here, they will definitely come back and meet again." ”
Will you remember? People have such a long life, they will remember their hometown, but they may not remember their former playmates.
Lin You shook her head, trying to get rid of the messy thoughts in her mind, no matter how difficult the goodbye was, as the days passed, she always had to say goodbye to them.
If only the band could perform on the same stage one more time. Lin You thought so, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pulled Xie Zijin and asked, "If the Xianyi Band performs again at their graduation ceremony, it will definitely make us unforgettable." ”
The graduation ceremony is such an important day, and it is indeed suitable for the band to perform on stage again. Xie Zijin thought about it, this can be regarded as a graduation gift for them.
"Lin Xiaoyou, you are finally reliable!"
The band's instruments have been kept in the old warehouse since they were moved back from Uncle Wen last time to cheer Lin You.
The warehouse has been replaced with sturdier locks, but no one visits the cold instruments every day.
Xie Zijin pushed the door open again, and in the light and dust, he seemed to see the scene from a long time ago: they were all sitting on the ground, holding Cokes in their hands and cheering. Lin You was shouting: "Long live the Fresh Clothes Band!" "Mo Xin's hands are full of chalk ash, and the posters on the wall are warm and lovely.
However, when the dust fell, only the musical instruments, which were covered with plastic sheeting, were covered with dust.
This is the band he built single-handedly, and to this day, only these scarred instruments are left to bear witness to his former teammates.
There has been nothing major happening along the way, it's just that everyone has gradually grown up and slowly lost their hearts and dreams. Xie Zijin looked at the posters on the wall for a long, long time, and finally turned his head.
"Xie Zijin, don't be sad, you will definitely have a new band in the future."
Sensing that Xie Zijin's mood had become depressed, Lin You comforted: "It doesn't matter if you don't have it, I've always been your number one fan, as long as you don't give up your dreams, I'll always be your fan!" ”
Xie Zijin turned his head awkwardly and muttered, "Isn't your idol Yanzi Sun?" Swindler! ”
After speaking, he lifted the plastic sheeting, and the repaired instrument was silent in the light and shadow, silently telling the old days.
"If the Fresh Clothes Band doesn't have this woman, then you won't know what a domineering side leak is!" Mo Xin put his schoolbag on his shoulder, and walked in with one hand in his pocket, very powerful and domineering.
Lin You immediately pounced, hugging Mo Xin and chirping, "Heroine, I thought you wouldn't come!" ”
Mo Xin pushed away the person who was stuck to his body like an octopus, and said with great disgust: "This fan friend, the autograph hug is also in line." ”
"No matter what, I'm going to do a VIP, the kind that doesn't have to wait in line." Lin You ignored it, holding Mo Xin and refusing to let go.
Cheng Xi poked his head out of the door and came in, and was caught by Lin You. She immediately jumped down from Mo Xin, "Cheng Xi! You're here too! ”
When Mo Xin saw Cheng Xi, he was naturally unhappy, Yin Lele was always a thorn between the two of them.
"Hehe, although I have not been in the band for a long time, how can this kind of big thing be without me!" Cheng Xi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
After knowing each other for so long, Lin You had never seen Cheng Xi so embarrassed, so he squinted his eyes and looked at him, "You?" Tell me honestly, did you do something unpleasant? ”
"I, I don't, I just..."Cheng Xi stood up, "I just want to ask you for a favor." ”
Lin You immediately took two steps back and made a defensive gesture, "I knew that Yin Lele was pestering you all day long, how could you suddenly come over and say!" What the hell is the purpose! ”
Mo Xin's face became even more ugly, staring at Cheng Xi and said coldly: "I have already told you that Yin Lele just wanted to separate the relationship between you and us, but she succeeded." Cheng Xi, what do you want to do? ”
The hostile look of his former friend caught Cheng Xi a little off guard, and he didn't know how to face the current situation. However, whether Yin Lele is good or bad is not so important.
Cheng Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally said as if he had made some decision: "I know that my request may be a bit abrupt or even excessive. But we are friends, and we may have become "former friends", but please help me this time, I want the band to sing a song to Yin Lele. It's just one song, and it won't delay everyone's time too much. ”
This request was indeed too abrupt, so abrupt that Mo Xin directly blew up the pot, "Cheng Xi, do you know what you're talking about!" You let us sing to Yin Lele!? Didn't you wake up today? ”
Xie Zijin also frowned, Cheng Xi's request was indeed excessive. Don't talk about Mo Xin, even I won't agree. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Yin Lele injured Lin You three times and twice, this is for sure, it is absolutely impossible to get the whole band to sing for her!
"Master, I know this is excessive, but..."
"No but!" Mo Xin interrupted him mercilessly, "Cheng Xi, let me ask you, is Yin Lele more important in your heart, or is it our friends who are more important!" You know what the band means to us, singing specifically to Yin Lele! Why is she! ”
"She doesn't have much time left."
Cheng Xi lowered his head and whispered this sentence, and the entire warehouse was suddenly terrifyingly quiet. Only Cheng Xi sobbed very quietly.
Lin You was surprised, Yin Lele didn't come to school recently, everyone thought it was the last incident that made her feel ashamed, so she asked for leave, and the teacher didn't mention it.
"Yin Lele... She? What's wrong? ”
Cheng Xi covered his face and squatted down, tears slipped from his fingers, and his voice became trembling and choked, "She...... Last month... It was found that the cancer was terminal. ”
There are no more painful things in the world than two things, life and death. Cheng Xi choked in pain, he tasted loss for the first time, and watched a bright flower wither in front of him.
Everyone was stunned, and it seemed that they could see Yin Lele lying on the hospital bed with tubes all over his body struggling to breathe through the words "terminal cancer".
"She's terminally ill of cancer?!" Mo Xin really couldn't believe it, she felt that Yin Lele looked like she was yesterday. How did it suddenly become like this?
Cheng Xi nodded painfully, tears were already rolling like a burst, and he choked up and said, "I never thought about it... Someday it will... Losing her in this way, never..."
Yes, who would have thought that Lin You even thought that Yin Lele might always be against them, maybe from high school all the way to college or beyond.
If she had thought about all the assumptions, she had never thought that Yin Lele, who was so arrogant and hateful, would withdraw from their world so easily.
Xie Zijin squatted down and patted Cheng Xi's shoulder, he knew the taste of life and death, and he also knew that any words of comfort would seem so pale at this time.
"Is she in the hospital? We wanted to see her. Xie Zijin asked softly, his tone was like facing a person who had experienced the greatest despair and couldn't extricate himself.
This summer is destined to be unforgettable.
