The school's triennial "Sunshine Pretty Girl" contest is in full swing, and Taya hits good luck and is voted by the class to represent the competition.

In fact, it's not just luck, in the Tagu class, no one doesn't like her pistachio who loves to laugh and warm up, speaking of which, she helped herself.

Zhao Yuan secretly ventilated her, saying that there are not many strong players in this year's competition, and after investigation, many classes do not follow the principle of "sunshine and beauty" at all, and the selected ones are all beautiful, but they are not sunny.

"You have the best chance of winning, Duogu, look, you have to be beautiful, you have to smile and laugh, you have to be warm and warm." Zhao Yuan held her to heaven seriously.

Taya is happy that the winner of the contest will be the school's ambassador and, more importantly, a scholarship application. That's what she's going for.

As a result, she was swept down, and the winner was someone else, named Leman, from the management department.

When I went to class in the evening, Zhao Yuan, who was a member of the student union, was indignantly commented: "Shady, it's all shady!" ”

Seeing that Duogu didn't react, she said again: "Do you know who Nale Man is, Peng Jiyin's girlfriend!" Ya's entire student union voted against Peng Jiyin alone, otherwise how could that Leman turn defeat into victory! ”

Members of the student council have three types of votes to cast in the competition, one point is added for passing votes, one point is deducted for non-feeling, and three points are deducted for rejected votes.

God-damn Peng Jiyin, looking for death! Her face wrinkled unconsciously.

Duogu was furious here, but Peng Jiyin had no sense of guilt about it, and asked her if she would go to the movies at night a few days later.

Tatani said of course to go.

That night, they agreed to help each other out and go to the cinema together. At the pre-agreed time, Peng Jiyin appeared in his living room, and Duogu secretly walked to the balcony. He gestured to her from afar to indicate that the lights in her parents' room had gone out, and she gestured the same, but in fact she lied.

In the past few months, their mutual "care" has provided great convenience for each other, and they are obviously more relaxed than before, as long as they are not careful, they will be easily discovered by their parents. In this way, it is natural to be scolded.

Thinking like this, Tagu gloated and left Peng Jiyin and went to the cinema first.

Later, until the end of the movie, Peng Jiyin didn't come, she thought to herself, she was no longer angry with him, should it be his turn to be angry with her now?

She suddenly panicked in her heart, and she didn't know if she was angry that he was biased and Leman voted for her, or that he already had a girlfriend.

The next day was Saturday, and Taya went straight to school after finishing her part-time job, and when she heard that there was a drama performance today, she went to join in the fun.

Unexpectedly, Peng Jiyin would appear on the stage, Duogu subconsciously held his breath, observing his words and deeds with surprise and curiosity, in fact, he was not playing the main role, but just a cunning little henchman next to the second actor, his time on stage did not add up to fifteen minutes, but when he retreated behind the scenes after the last crying scene, he drank coldly.

Taya also applauded and cheered for him excitedly, and at that moment, she felt that he was born to be a good actor.

It seems that he was busy rehearsing last night and didn't go to the cinema, thinking like this, she was a lot more relieved, and ran backstage to find him with a big grin.

"Hey Peng Jiyin, you acted so well!"

He was removing his makeup in front of the mirror, and when he saw her coming, he showed a rare smile and said, "Why are you here?" ”

"I came to see the performance, I didn't expect you to hide it from the drama club, I thought you were only in the student union."

She babbled a few words, and when he completely removed the thick white makeup characteristic of harlequins, she was shocked to realize that his face and the corner of his right eye were visibly swollen, and blue and purple floated hideously on the surface.

"This ...... Who hit this? ”

"My dad." His tone was calm, as if it were commonplace.

"Uncle Peng?" Taya couldn't think of anything else to say for a while, in her impression, Uncle Peng was an honest man, and when she was a child, she learned from the naughty ghost of the neighbor's house to call him by his nickname, and he never got angry. Such a good-natured uncle, would he beat his son because he went out to watch a movie in the middle of the night?

"Don't think about it too complicated, it's nothing new for Lao Tzu to teach his son." Peng Jiyin looked at her and frowned, but enlightened her.

"The problem is, you're almost twenty years old."

"Okay, don't dwell on the details. I'll tell you, I just bought a new guitar, do you want to take a look. ”

"Okay!" Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Tagu didn't want to ask.

His father went to work, and his mother was the only one peeling peanuts on the balcony. Peng Jiyin brought a brand-new acoustic guitar from the bedroom, with a light yellow front and a brown and red side. His fingers roamed nimbly between a few slender silvery-white strings, and the moving music instantly filled the room.

Tagu listened so engrossed that she didn't even notice the sound of Uncle Peng opening the door and coming in. The halfway song was interrupted by Uncle Peng's reprimand.

"You take my words as wind in your ears, don't you, what kind of bullshit singing and acting, with those things can support yourself and your parents?" He scolded as if no one was around, as if he hadn't noticed the existence of Taya, an outsider.

Aunt Peng glanced up at the father and son, didn't say anything, and continued to peel her peanuts. She'd probably heard that many times.

Seeing that his son was silent, Uncle Peng slowed down his tone again: "I tried my best to keep you here to study, just because I was afraid that you would take the wrong road outside alone, and whoever wants to take the road of the big yin star can walk!" Son, listen to Dad, find a job steadfastly, stop daydreaming, ah? ”

She remembered that Peng Jiyin still didn't respond to his father's words at that time, but his eyes had already said that everything was yin, and he would walk in the direction he wanted.

Taya remembers that Peng Jiyin later told her that he went to the movies in the middle of the night was just one of the ways to hone his acting skills, where he most often trained to cry sadly while watching comedy. In this way, no matter what kind of occasion he is in the future, his crying scene can be free. Just like today.

After that day, she went to the cinema and never met Peng Jiyin again. Her night club has become a one-person night club again.

Later, she found that she couldn't find him at school. went to his house, Aunt Peng said while making tea for her that Peng Jiyin was not at home and was out.

Taya hurriedly asked him where he had gone?

Aunt Peng turned her head to look out the window and did not answer.

It was a light rain that night, and the air after the rain was filled with the smell of grass mixed with earth. Duogu leaned on the railing of the balcony and knocked melon seeds leisurely, and the living room of Peng Jiyin's house opposite had the lights turned off early, and it was dark inside.

I remembered a recent photo I received from Peng Jiyin on QQ a few days ago, in which he was dressed in a navy blue windbreaker, smiling toothily under the gray sky, and behind him was a green train one after another.

He's been gone for two weeks, and now Taya doesn't ask him where he's gone all day long, and he says he's not so naïve as to run away from home, it's just a détente he has to use when his relationship with his father is strained, and it's not very shy, but it's the only bad trick he's doing. He said he would be back soon.

After leaving the city, he said more to her than before.

He said, "Takaya, the outside world is so big!" ”

He said: "Tagu, even if my parents don't support my dreams, I won't alienate them, for me, a person's dreams and happiness will be closely related to his family." ”

He said, "If it were you, would you think that I am a man who is greedy for vanity and ignores the heavens and the earth? ”

No. If he were by her side, she would have told him those two words firmly.

Taya looked at his smiling face on the photo, and suddenly asked an irrelevant sentence: "Peng Jiyin, when I participated in the competition, I heard that you voted for me veto, why did you do this?" ”

"Because you're not fit to win this game."

Taya said angrily: "What did you say?!" ”

"With the title of ambassador, you will be able to smile every day. Others think you can, and maybe you think you can, but I know you can't. ”

Tatani stared at the old desktop computer screen, his eyes were hot, and a tear "snapped" on the keyboard.

She is the real her.

Since she was a child, her mother taught her to be diligent when she sees people and to be sweet in her mouth, so that business can prosper. She is a girl who loves to laugh in the crowd, and her golden glow like a sunflower radiates a warm light, which is sure to attract people.

But in fact, she is not an energetic person by nature, if she really wants to make a good friend, then her energy is only enough to have two or three friends. Now she was surrounded by acquaintances, and there were many times when she felt herself overwhelmed by the crowding.

No one knows such a feeling, but only Peng Jiyin understands.

"When are you coming back?" She typed another line.

"In a few days, I'll have to be beaten by my dad again when I go back......"

"Then your girlfriend can't ignore it!"

"Who said I had a girlfriend!"

"Really?"

"Well, the empty seat is left for you, do you want it?"

"Cut, what's the good of being with you."

"I'll give you privileges. Yang Duogu can be the most authentic version of herself she wants to be in front of me...... She never, never had to smile at me for flattery. ”

"Cut!"

Through the computer screen, she smiled genuinely.

Taya looked up into the distance, and the hook-like moon peeked out of the thin clouds, a faint and hazy light.

My sister's voice came from the house with a smile: "Sister, let's make the mattress tonight!" ”

The younger brother then said: "Sister, my brother bullied me again, you help me beat him!" ”

She said in a loud voice: "Okay, sister will reason for you!" ”

Peng Jiyin is right, people's dreams are closely related to family, and so is happiness.

Taya's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and this time, it is a heartfelt smile.
