Jane Hee was picked up at her grandmother's house a week after the race, and heard that his father had hired a tutor for her and taught her at home.

On the day I sent Jian Xi away, downstairs at home, Jian Xi took out a brand new hairpin from her pocket and handed it to me, "Sister, I know you also like the hairpin that grandma gave you, but I use it very old." I went to all the jewelry stores in the city, and I only bought something similar to the previous one, and this one is for you. ”

I took the hairpin and looked at it carefully, it was also a crescent moon shape, inlaid with small sparkling gemstones, and it was very expensive.

"That's too expensive, isn't it?" I hesitated to return the hairpin to Jian Xi.

Jian Xi ran into the car with a spirit, she opened the window and waved happily to me, "Sister, you have always been a formidable opponent in my heart. Until next time! ”

The car roared away, I looked at the flashing hairpin in my palm, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent the "little goblin" away.

After Jian Xi left, the seat next to me was empty again. Gu Zijin always likes to rub the workbook next to me after class to do questions.

"Zhenzhen, since you were a sophomore in high school, your table mate hasn't sat next to you for a full year. I think you may be missing a table mate in the five elements. Gu Zijin smiled while making the test papers.

"No, I'm on duty." I sighed as I lay on the test paper.

"By the way, did you participate in the school's New Year's Eve fireworks show this year?"

The New Year's Eve fireworks show is a tradition of sailing, and the school organizes it every year to encourage senior high school students.

"It's boring, a large group of people huddled on the playground in the middle of the night and couldn't see fireworks for three minutes, I could see it at home."

What's more, Lu Li and I agreed that we would spend New Year's Eve together every year, of course, we had to choose a more romantic place, and school was definitely not an ideal "dating mecca".

Gu Zijin disagreed, she said in a low voice, "I heard that there is a legend in Yangfan, when the first fireworks rise into the night sky, confessing to the person you like will definitely be successful." So there are more than a dozen pairs at the party every year. ”

The legend of Wanfeng Road, the legend of the fireworks show, these legends of sailing have all been heard by Gu Zijin, and I don't know any of them.

Gu Zijin saw that I was skeptical, and whispered: "Don't you want to express your heart to Lu Li under the romantic fireworks?" Lu Li is so good, how many girls are eyeing him, although Wang Lu and Jian Xi are gone, there will still be Li Lu and Lin Xi. Zhen Zhen, the building near the water will get the moon first, you have to start first. ”

"Zijin, you have been good at language skills recently, and you have used this idiom and poem very well. It seems that there will be no problem with the law department of Longda next year. I teased.

"you." Gu Zijin gently slapped my arm, and at this time, the class bell rang, Gu Zijin got up with the book, she lowered her head and winked at me, "You think about what I just said." ”

Because he missed the escort competition, Lu Li could only participate in the art examination like an ordinary art candidate, and he began to practice the piano day after day.

Today is Christmas Eve, and there is a week to go before the New Year's Eve fireworks show, after my careful consideration, I feel that this kind of thing is a legend, and it is better to believe it than not, so I decided to invite Lu Li to participate in the fireworks show together.

After school in the evening, Lu Li went to the piano room to practice as usual. I packed my bag and sneaked up behind him. I don't know why I followed Lu Li secretly, maybe that's what they call a girl's mind.

Lu Li quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs with his long legs. I trotted to follow, but collided around the corner with Lu Li, who was supposed to go upstairs.

"Ouch," I rubbed my forehead that was hit painfully, like a thief who had done something bad and was suddenly shaken out, and greeted Lu Li tremblingly, "Lu, Lu Li, what a coincidence." ”

Lu Li didn't get angry, he raised his good-looking eyebrows, "Ye Zhenzhen, why are you sneaking with me?" ”

"I, I'll go to the piano room to find Brother Lin Zhi."

Under Lu Li's gaze, I was a little cowardly, so I could only pull Lin Zhige out first as an excuse.

Lu Li looked at me with a faint expression, and after more than ten seconds, he said, "Ye Zhenzhen, you are obviously ...... A while ago, I said that the person I admired the most was me. ”

I always felt as if he had been holding back for a long time to say this, and it sounded particularly difficult and sluggish.

"Yes," I didn't think about it, and replied to him frankly and happily: "But this doesn't prevent me from going to Brother Lin Zhi." ”

I actually deliberately teased him, so I answered like this, just to see his reaction inexplicably.

Sure enough, Lu Li turned around unnaturally, and his tone was awkward, "Then you talk to him quietly, don't hinder me from practicing." ”

Because I was standing behind Lu Li, he couldn't see me, and I sneered disapprovingly.

When he arrived at the piano room, Lin Zhi was not there. Lu Li walked straight to the piano and sat down, took out his blue listening voice from his schoolbag and put it on the piano, raised his head as if he suddenly remembered something and said to me: "By the way, I forgot to tell you just now that Lin Zhi asked for leave today and didn't come to the piano room." ”

"Sure enough, the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, I underestimate Lu Li's belly blackness." I sneered.

However, I didn't mean to come to Lin Zhi, so I wasn't too disappointed.

Lu Li ignored me and began to play the piano, I naturally walked to the seat closest to Lu Li and sat down, watching him play the piano with my hands on my cheeks.

Even if I'm a piano idiot, I can hear this piece at the moment with a lot of difficulty, with ups and downs in melody and emotional ups and downs, but it's extraordinarily appealing. Before I knew it, I was in the middle of it, and when I came back to my senses, tears were already rolling in my eyes.

Lu Li just looked at me like this, to be exact, looking at me with teary eyes, the emotions in his eyes were as complex and difficult to understand as the melody just now.

The last melody stopped just right, and I quickly swallowed back my tears, "Lu Li, what kind of tune is this, it's so touching." ”

"Chopin's "Parting Song", my grandmother fell in love with my grandfather because of this song."

I pointed to the Walkman on the piano, "So you made a special recording for grandma." ”

Lu Li nodded, "She suddenly said yesterday that she especially wanted to listen to this song." ”

But none of us could have imagined that Chopin's "Parting Song" would become the last ode to the alternation of the old and the new.

Lu Li's grandmother died suddenly at midnight on Christmas Eve, and Christmas songs mixed with the shrill horns of ambulances echoed over the community for a long time.

After Christmas, Lu Li took a long vacation and accompanied her grandmother back to her homeland for burial.

In the class, everyone still went to and from class as usual, and a small number of people were excited and happy because of the upcoming New Year's Eve party.

In the community, the atmosphere of the New Year was everywhere, red lanterns were hung everywhere, and no one noticed a bleak white hanging in front of a certain house in the community.

Someone leaves every 5 seconds, but the world doesn't stop because of this one person's departure, and no one is sad about someone's departure for a long time.

But I know that somewhere in this world, there is a person who is silently grieving.

On the night of the New Year's Eve fireworks party, the head teacher organized students from each class to participate, and I didn't want to go, but Gu Zijin and Wang Ning saw that I was gloomy these days, so they dragged me to the playground to watch the song and dance performance.

Wang Ning took my right hand and said to me gently, "I remember that when I was in the first year of junior high school, Lu Li's grandmother came to the parent-teacher meeting, and she brought the osmanthus cake she made herself to distribute to everyone in our class. Someone as good as grandma must have a good life in the other world. ”

Gu Zijin pulled up my left hand, "Zhen Zhen, I heard that making a wish on fireworks is also very effective." When the first fireworks are in the sky, we will make a wish together, wishing Lu Li's grandmother to live happily in another world. ”

I looked at my two best friends and nodded heavily.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the singing and dancing ended. Volunteers organized our evacuation to safety and started setting off fireworks. In a trance, I remembered that two years ago, Lu Li leaned in the elevator and said to me: "Ye Zhenzhen, let's spend the New Year's Eve together in the future." ”

Lu Li, will he still remember this agreement and wait for me somewhere?

As if I was guided by something inexplicable, I spread my legs and ran home, completely ignoring Wang Ning and Gu Zijin calling me behind my back.

Perhaps, Lu Li is waiting for me at home at the moment.

I gasped and stood at the door of Lu Li's house, raising my trembling hand to ring the doorbell.

The door suddenly opened, and Lu Li's father walked out.

I met Uncle Lu more than a year ago, when he was still a middle-aged man with a radiant look, but now his temples are a little gray, and the corners of his eyes can't hide the tiredness. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you?" ”

I bowed politely, "Hello uncle, I'm Lu Li's classmate Ye Zhenzhen, I, I'm here to see Lu Li." ”

"Ye Zhenzhen, I heard Lu Li's grandmother mention you." Uncle Lu sighed softly, "Lu Li, this child has been kissing his grandmother since he was a child, and after his grandmother passed away, he didn't say a word, not even tears, I'm worried that he will suffocate himself." Child, you help your uncle comfort him. Haicheng has a very important operation, and I have to rush back tonight. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, Lu Li is my friend, and grandma she ......" I choked up a little, "She is very good to me." ”

In the corner of the living room, Lu Li sat at the piano with his back to me and played the piano.

The familiar piano melody echoed in the living room, and I soon heard that Lu Li was playing Chopin's "Farewell Song".

It is said that when Chopin was 19 years old, he fell in love with a female classmate of the Warsaw Conservatory, Grakovska, a beautiful girl with a talent for vocal music. Chopin was very timid since he was a child, and he never dared to pour out his love to her. When he decided to leave his homeland for Paris, he played this haunting, grueful piano piece in front of Grakovska to bid farewell to the beautiful girl. Chopin himself confessed to the lovely, pathetic, and very beautiful theme in the piece: "I have never written such a beautiful melody before, and I am afraid I will never do it again."

When Lu Li played this piece in the piano room that day, I couldn't help but want to shed tears because the melody was too sad. Today, I finally understand the deep meaning of this song, and today Lu Li is saying goodbye to his favorite grandmother through "Farewell Song".

I involuntarily walked to Lu Li's side, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Lu Li's dark eyes looked at me fixedly, there was too much sadness there, but I was so stubborn that I didn't even want to shed a tear.

Why are you so stubborn? Who to show so strong?

Seeing him endure the pain, my nose and eyes couldn't help but sour, and tears fell uncontrollably......

"You, why are you crying?" Maybe he hadn't spoken for too long, and Lu Li's voice was hoarse and low.

I wiped the tears that slid on my cheeks, but immediately new tears rolled down, I simply didn't wipe them, and said with words, "Because Lu Li is so sad that you don't cry, so let me shed these tears instead of you." ”

Lu Li's deep eyes suddenly flickered, and I saw a crystal tear quickly slip out of the corner of his eye, and then he lowered his head and whimpered.

I looked at Lu Li in front of me, my heart was overwhelmed as uncomfortable, a sourness rose from the bottom of my heart, and spread to my fingertips, I subconsciously held his cold hand, just like he held my hand tightly in the taxi, I wanted to pass on the warmth and strength of my whole body to him.

After Lu Li calmed down, we sat on the ground and leaned on the back of the sofa, looking at the night sky outside the balcony.

Lu Li looked at the brightest star in the sky at this time, and suddenly spoke, "The school is holding a New Year's Eve fireworks party tonight, why did you come here at this time." ”

"Didn't we say that we would spend New Year's Eve together every year? I don't want to miss my appointment. ”

I turned my head and smiled at Lu Li, who was also turning his head to look at me.

Lu Li looked at me sneeringly, and he said something with his mouth slightly open.

But at this time, a huge firework flew into the night sky, bursting into countless starlight, falling quickly like a meteor.

I didn't pay attention to what Lu Li said, I closed my eyes tightly the moment the fireworks disappeared, and made a wish in my heart.

Although my eyes were closed, I still felt the young man next to me staring at me motionlessly, and after making a wish, I silently recited in my heart: Eighteen-year-old Lu Li, Happy New Year!
