It's been two weeks since the basketball game, and Lin Yi will often come to class as before, although he occasionally avoids Xiao Ling, but Xiao Ling feels that maybe the previous events have left a shadow in Lin Yi's heart, and it will take a while to recover slowly.

What makes Xiao Ling strange is that Xiao Xiao didn't come to her apartment this month, although Xiao Ling is sometimes nervous, but she still pays a lot of attention to this sister, and sends a message to Xiao Xiao in her spare time to ask what she has been doing recently, and after a while, Xiao Xiao sent a text message back saying that she was watching Sister Zhuoya's rehearsal.

Xiao Ling wondered when this kid became familiar with Zhuo Ya, but he no longer pestered him to ask Lin Yi about it, but made himself a lot easier.

Some time ago, because of Lin Yi's matter and basketball games, Xiao Ling hadn't taken classes seriously for a long time, and his homework fell a lot.

Usually at this time, Lin Yi will be asked to tutor, but this guy seems to be hiding from himself recently, although he has come to watch the basketball game, Lin Yi's attitude is far less friendly than before, which makes Xiao Ling a little angry.

Lin Yi came to the nursing home again with the violin on his back, and promised the old couple last time that he would come over to play the violin for them again. Two weeks have passed, and I don't know how the two old men are doing, and the weather is gradually getting colder. Does the old man still push the old grandmother out for a walk every day?

I followed the road last time and came to the lookout, and at a glance I saw the old man sitting under the plane tree, the old man lowered his head and looked at his palm, but there was no grandmother in a wheelchair next to him.

Lin Yi was a little puzzled and stepped forward, "Grandpa, I'm here." ”

The old man finally raised his head, looked at Lin Yi with cloudy eyes, and replied weakly, "Oh, oh, you're here." ”

Lin Yi was startled, the old man's eyes were hollow, and he was sluggish, as if he had suddenly aged a lot, and he was the same as the last time.

"You're here to play the violin," the old man's voice was a little hoarse, "your grandmother didn't have a chance to listen, she's gone, she has had a heart attack, and has been dead for a week." The old man looked down at his palm again.

Lin Yi looked at the old man in shock, and then sadness spread to his heart. Lin Yi sat next to the old man, and suddenly saw that hearing this incident made him a little relieved.

"She's a poor person, and it's all my fault, it's because I was too cowardly to cause her to suffer so much." The old man sobbed lowly, and Lin Yi raised his hand to caress the old man's back.

The old man looked at his palms and continued, "She was very beautiful when she was young, she was a young lady from a large family, and I was their helper, doing some rough work and eating with a mouth, but she never treated us as servants, she always took good care of us, and secretly added food to me. ”

The old man sighed, "At that time, she was as radiant in my eyes as the sun in the sky, illuminating my life, even if I was tired and tired, I felt that it was good to be alive at the thought of seeing her." ”

The old man rubbed his face with his hands: "Later, the country was liberated, and the hard life of our poor people came to an end, but her hard life came, her home was raided, her parents were beaten to death with sticks, and she was also imprisoned. I was so scared that I didn't even dare to go to the prison to see her. The old man raised his hand to wipe away the tears welling up in his eyes.

"Later, I went to the countryside to join the queue, working day and night every day, and the only thing that supported me was to look forward to seeing her again in the future. Seven years later, I returned to the city, inquired in many ways, and learned that she had been released, and that she had been forced to marry an old man from the countryside, who had already had a pair of children, who was nearly 30 years older than her, and who was frail and sickly, and who could barely support the family by sewing clothes alone. I really wanted to help her, but I was afraid of gossip, so I could only watch from afar. Later, a powerful man in the village took a fancy to her, and after the old man died, he married her, I always thought she was living a good life, but after reuniting in this nursing home a few days ago, I learned that that man is not a good thing, he is a drunkard! As soon as she got drunk and beat her and her children, she endured it so much, and finally pulled her children to grow up, the man died of alcohol poisoning, and her hard life came to an end. Later, the children got married, and her health became worse and worse, and she was afraid that she would have to live in a nursing home, and she suffered a lot of sins! The old man couldn't stop crying with excitement, and his hands kept wiping his tears.

Lin Yi stroked the old man's back, immersed in grief and unable to restrain himself.

"I haven't married a wife in my life, I can't forget her, how can I be so cowardly, you say I'm a bad seed." The old man began to beat his head with his hands, Lin Yi hurriedly grabbed the old man's hands and kept reassuring, "Don't blame your grandfather, no one can do anything about the things of that era." ”

The old man held his head and cried for a long time, and Lin Yi sat quietly beside the old man. After a long time, the old man's mood finally calmed down, raised his head, and said to Lin Yi, "Child, play a song for your grandmother, she loves to listen to it." ”

Lin Yi took out the violin, stood in the place where he was last time, looked into the distance, a song "Unchained Melody" (Unchained Melody), the melodious sound of the piano came out from the violin on the shoulder, and the oblique drizzle mixed with the fallen leaves of the sycamore fell and fell on Lin Yi and the old man.

After saying goodbye to the old man, on the subway home, Lin Yi was in a low mood, and he couldn't feel that his clothes and hair were wet from the rain, and the old man's story shook him a lot.

Life is short for decades, and if you don't seize the opportunity and just fall asleep and wait, there will be no miracles. Why can I be frank about everything, but I can't be frank about my feelings? ALTHOUGH GRACE'S LIFE WAS SHORT, SHE LEFT NO REGRETS.

As for Lin Yi, even if he dies, can he say that he has no regrets? Can you look back on your life without regrets? As for Xiao Ling, does his feelings really only bother him instead of making him happy?

Lin Yi never thought that he was cowardly, and if he gave up without doing any effort, it could only show that he was too fragile inside.

The defensive walls that had been painstakingly built for more than a month were destroyed by themselves. He made a decision in his heart, sent a message to Xiao Ling, and took the subway to Takeuchi Park instead.
