The roller skating rink was renovated before the weather got hot, and the business was very good once it opened. Brother Li knew that they had finally survived the worst days. This is not just the success of a roller skating rink. Song Jie watched everything from start to finish. They were surrounded by wolves and finally won a visionary, capable and connected partner.
Xiaobo put all his thoughts on the roller skating rink. He stayed at the roller skating rink every day, and came up with countless ways to attract customers. The profit of the roller skating rink has been rising steadily.
In the summer vacation, after the students are on vacation, the business of the roller skating rink is getting better and better, especially at night, sometimes it is necessary to restrict ticket sales.
On the day that Qiqi brought the gift, Brother Li happened to be at the roller skating rink and called from the karaoke hall, saying that someone had left a letter for Brother Xiao Bo.
Xiaobo was busy, so Brother Li instructed: "Whoever will come over later, just bring the letter over by the way."
Later, when he was busy, he forgot about it.
In the evening, the two brothers were having lunch in the office and chatting when Xiaobo suddenly saw the envelope on the table, picked it up and looked at it, "What is this?"
"Oh, say someone wrote you a letter."
Xiaobo smiled and said, "Why does it feel round and hard, like a grenade?" Then, he tore open the envelope, shook it, and a pine cone and a stone fell out.
Brother Li laughed when he saw it, "What is this?"
Xiaobo didn't smile, his eyes were thoughtful, he shook the envelope again, and a small note fell out. Brother Li naturally had no idea of privacy.
"Pine cones under the Great Wall in Beijing, stone chips on Laoshan Mountain in Qingdao."
He became more and more strange, "What is this?"
Xiaobo picked up the pine cones and the stone chips and glanced at them, put them back in the envelope, and then started to eat, as if he didn't care, "A gift from Qi Qi."
"how do you know?"
"I heard Song Peng say that she was selected for the summer camp and will go to Beijing and Qingdao."
"Then what did she mean by giving this? It means she has been to the Great Wall and Laoshan?"
Xiaobo didn't speak, buried his head to eat, couldn't see his expression clearly, and after a while he said lightly: "She should have kept a pine cone and a stone chip herself, she felt like we shared everything, like We used to watch videos and listen to songs together."
Brother Li was speechless, he ate in silence for a while, and suddenly said, "Why don't you go to university!"
Xiaobo looked up at Brother Li with no expression on his face, and said to Brother Li very gently, "Fuck you!"
Brother Li knew that he was really angry, so he stopped talking and said with a smile, "I said something wrong, eat, eat!"
Song Peng was thirteen years younger than Song Jie, almost two generations, and their personalities were completely different from Song Jie, so it was impossible to tell that they were brothers.
Song Peng is very arrogant, and he also knows that he has the capital. His catchphrase is "people are not frivolous and juvenile", but before Xiaobo's gentleness and tranquility, he has restrained his arrogance and got along well with Xiaobo.
Song Peng has become obsessed with manipulating spotlights these past few days. He likes to lie in front of the window and pick targets. Those who are photographed are happy, and Song Peng has more fun.
Xiaobo sat on the sofa and read the newspaper, chatting with Song Peng without a word.
Song Peng didn't know what he saw. He didn't speak for a long time, and stared down attentively, "Xiaobo, do you have a telescope?"
Xiaobo pointed to the drawer. Song Peng picked up the binoculars and looked down, smiling while watching.
"looking at what?"
"Classmate, I found out that some people are having adultery."
Xiaobo smiled, didn't care, and continued to flip through the newspaper.
After Xiaobo finished flipping through the newspaper, Song Peng was still looking at it with relish. Xiaobo stood up, stretched his waist, walked to the window, and looked at the roller skating rink casually.
Song Peng laughed twice, put down the telescope, and went to play with the spotlight.
Facing the shadow in the window glass, Xiaobo was doing boxing movements, moving his muscles and bones, and suddenly saw a familiar person - Qi Qi in the spotlight.
Qiqi was roller-skating with a man when she was suddenly caught by a light and almost fell. Fortunately, the man moved quickly and supported her. Qi Qi was obviously very unhappy, and hurried to one side, trying to avoid the light, but Song Peng continued to chase her with the light, smiling all over his face.
Even if Xiaobo couldn't see clearly, he could imagine the impatience in Qi Qi's eyes. He smiled and said to Song Peng, "Stop playing. This light only shines on people who are better at sliding. It breaks the rules and will be difficult to manage in the future."
Song Peng said angrily, "Let her go!" He turned the spotlight away and searched for a new target.
Xiaobo picked up the binoculars and saw that Qiqi had slipped into the corner, resting against the railing. Zhang Jun angrily slid in front of her, didn't know what to say, turned around angrily and slid away.
Qi Qi looked at the roller skating rink in silence, probably feeling that no one around knew her, her mask was a little loose, and her expression became a little sad.
Xiaobo was puzzled, didn't she just go to Beijing and Qingdao to play? Should be very happy.
Looking away from the binoculars, looked at the roller skating rink.
The spotlight is on a pair of men and women who are skating very well, and the figures of the two are very lively and moving, and they are also acquaintances - Zhang Jun and a beautiful girl are playing pairs skating.
Xiaobo picked up the binoculars again, looked at Qi Qi, and began to understand a little where her grief came from.
After watching it for a while, Qi Qi suddenly rushed into the roller skating rink by herself, almost skating frantically.
Xiaobo's binoculars were chasing her figure, he could understand how she felt at this moment, he wanted to try to get rid of all unpleasantness, and wanted to leave everything behind, but—his heart skipped a beat, and he watched Qi Qi backward. fall.
Protect your head!
Qi Qi didn't do anything, and fell heavily on the concrete floor.
Because of the binoculars, the picture flashed clearly in front of his eyes, and he felt as if Qi Qi had fallen in front of him, and he stretched out his hand subconsciously, trying to grab her.
Under the spotlight, Zhang Jun unknowingly glides happily with his female companion, dancing to the music, unaware of Qi Qi's sadness at this time.
Qi Qi was lying on the cold concrete floor alone, unable to move. The pain on her face was very clear under the telescope.
Xiaobo jerked away the telescope.
Song Peng chased Zhang Jun in the spotlight, noticed Xiaobo's strangeness, and glanced at Xiaobo, "What's wrong?"
Xiaobo smiled, "It's nothing." He picked up the binoculars again.
A young couple stopped by Qi Qi, helped her up, and sent her to the rest area. Qi Qi hugged her head, shrugged her shoulders, and sat on the bench like a wounded little beast. After a long while, she raised her head and followed the beam of the spotlight, looking sad and lost.
Suddenly, she stood up and walked outside the roller skating rink.
Xiaobo threw down the binoculars and said to Song Peng, "I'm going out to buy something." As soon as he walked to the door, he turned back, turned the spotlight away from Zhang Jun, searched the crowd, and stopped at a young couple. On his body, he said to the younger brother who was playing music next to him, "Let someone send them the best drink and fruit plate for free."
Song Peng looked at him inexplicably, he smiled and walked out the door.
Xiaobo looked at Qiqi from a distance, watched her buy an ice cream, held the ice cream, practiced smiling into the air, and stubbornly said to himself that he wanted to laugh, not cry!
Slowly and diligently, she actually made herself laugh, even laughing and humming a song, looking very happy.
He was very uncomfortable. If he could, he wished he could accompany her so that she could cry aloud, instead of forcing himself to be strong.
But he can't!
He could only watch her fall alone, get up alone, swallow her tears alone, face the world with a smile alone.
Growth is accompanied by pain, and strength is a thick cocoon formed by layers of wounds.
Qi Qi walked up and down like a happy bird.
No matter how many difficulties she encounters, she will definitely be brave and strong to defeat them.
He followed behind her, staring at her stubborn back, sad, relieved, and proud.
A bicycle passed by him, the people in the car looked at Qi Qi carefully, and the speed slowed down. When he passed by Qi Qi, the owner of the car stopped the car and greeted Qi Qi. It was Chen Jin, who had just become the provincial champion. .
Chen Jin pushed the bicycle to Qi Qi's side.
Because there were no vehicles on the road, it was very quiet, and it happened to be downwind, so the conversation between the two reached Xiaobo's ears without a word.
Qiqi said, "I went to see the list in the morning, congratulations."
Chen Jin wasn't interested in talking about his grades, but was very concerned about Qi Qi's grades, "I saw your grades last semester, aren't you a big blow? Are you still persevering?"
Xiaobo was a little surprised, it turned out that this was also a person who knew that Qiqi had not really taken off at all.
Qiqi's voice was a little dejected, "I'm persevering, but it's very hard, sometimes I don't understand what I'm persevering on."
"When you reach the top of the mountain, you will understand. If you give up halfway, you will never understand. Never give up! Once you give up for the first time, your life will be accustomed to retreating in spite of difficulties, but if If you overcome the past, your life will be accustomed to advancing against the wind and waves. It looks like a simple choice, but it actually has a huge impact and is a completely different life."
I don't know how much Qi Qi has understood these words, but Xiaobo has some respect for this genius. This is not a nerd who can only read books, but a real wise life fighter.
After chatting with Qi Qi for a while, Chen Jin was about to leave by bicycle and asked Qi Qi if he wanted to take her home.
Xiaobo hoped that Qiqi would agree, but Qiqi refused.
"Goodbye!" Chen Jin stepped on his bicycle and left.
"I wish you a happy college life!" Qi Qi shouted to Chen Jin.
Chen Jin turned around with a smile, "I'll be waiting for you at Tsinghua University."
Xiaobo didn't know why, but when he heard this sentence, he stopped suddenly, and after a while, he continued to walk, but before he knew it, his body shrank more and more into the darkness.
In the dark night, the only source of light is the street lamps one after another, lined up neatly along the sidewalk, guiding people in the direction.
Qiqi walks under the street lamp, as long as she keeps walking, she will surely reach a happy and warm home all the way bright and bright.
The world outside the street lights is dark, dark and blurry. One step is deep and one step is shallow. Even the person who walks does not know what he will step on next, and where does the front lead to? .
Xiaobo walks in the world outside the street lights. He has the courage to walk out of his own way and is confident that he will reach the bright other side. But he does not want Qiqi to enter this world. For Qiqi, people like Chen Jin are the best. A good teacher and a good friend, that is her companion.
One bright and one dark.
They will go further and further.
That night, Xu Xiaobo clearly realized for the first time that Qi Qi would soon go to a distance that he could not reach.
After the new semester of the second year of high school, Qi Qi was no longer alone after school, and Zhang Jun took her home.
Xu Xiaobo did not go to sit and rest beside the flower beds in the green forest for a long, long time, and hardly ever saw Qi Qi again.
He heard that Qi Qi had fallen in love and was broken up again.
One is a former hooligan, and the other is the first grade in No. 1 Middle School. The love between the two is vigorous and well-known.
Brother Li was very angry, angry that Zhang Jun dared to get rid of Qi Qi, angry at Qi Qi's stupidity, not because he didn't know who Zhang Jun was, and would fall in love with Zhang Jun.
Xiaobo doesn't think it's Zhang Jun who has failed Qiqi. Men are different from women. A woman can love a man by looking up, but it is difficult for a man to love a woman by looking up. At least now, Zhang Jun can't. Zhang Jun has done his best, but Tired, so he let go and let Qiqi fly, and let himself go.
Qi Qi must have been injured, but she must have also hurt Zhang Jun. This is just a growth without winning or losing.
He went to the green forest more often, and Qi Qi was walking with the sunshine boy he had seen before.
The boy thought of a way to make Qi Qi laugh.
Xiaobo couldn't help but smile, he believed that Qiqi would get better because she had friends who cared and cared for her.
Xiaobo felt that everything was stable and quietly waited for the final college entrance examination.
After the college entrance examination, he did not go to inquire about Qi Qi's results. He had waited for three years and was not anxious for these few days.
However, when Song Jie was helping his younger brother Song Peng to inquire about his grades, he also learned about Luo Qiqi's grades, and he said it smoothly at the dinner table, "This time the city's champion is a girl. It seems that his name is Luo..."
Song Peng said dissatisfiedly, "Luo Qiqi!"
Brother Li looked excited and stared at Xiaobo, but he didn't seem to hear it, and his expression didn't change. He just picked up the wine bottle and slowly filled himself with a glass, and drank his neck in one gulp.
Brother Li had guilt and regret in his eyes, Xiaobo poured him a glass of wine with a smile and patted his shoulder, good brother, don't say who owes whom!
Brother Li immediately picked up the wine glass and finished it. Good brother, everything is silent!
Song Jie laughed, "What are you two brothers fighting?"
On the day when the college entrance examination results were released, Brother Li put his work aside and came to Xiaobo at noon to accompany him to watch the rankings.
Brother Li asked, "Can I always leave now?"
"Eat first, I'm starving! The list is posted there, but I can't run, when can I not watch it?"
Brother Li sighed and didn't force him, "Then let's eat first!"
Brother Li can also understand Xiaobo's thoughts, seeing with his own eyes that Qiqi's performance is actually the last goodbye. Since then, the little girl from that year has completely flown out of their world and has nothing to do with them anymore.
When I went to a Sichuan restaurant, Xiaobo ordered a pot of pork belly with plum vegetables and steamed pork with lotus leaf powder. Both dishes were labor-intensive and served very slowly. The meal was eaten for two hours.
After the two of them finished their meal, the sky was already drowsy.
Brother Li drove the car and went straight to No. 1 Middle School. Before reaching the school gate, Xiaobo suddenly said, "Stop!"
Brother Li didn't know what was wrong, so he immediately turned the car into the boulevard and parked on the side of the road.
Looking out of the car window, I could just see the school gate of No. 1 Middle School through the gap between the trees.
The setting sun had already set, and only the last bit of afterglow made the sky half-bright and half-dark, rendering layers of cold blue, the lights at the school gate were already on, two girls stood side by side at the school gate, looking up at the red list, one of them was Qi Qi.
They have been standing at the top of the list, not knowing what they are doing.
After a long time, when it was dark, the two finally wanted to leave. They walked along the school wall. Qi Qi kept a smile on her face and talked to the girl beside her. Tears began to fall, the smile on his face was still there, but the tears kept flowing.
The girl next to her found that Qi Qi was crying, her eyes hurriedly swept across Qi Qi's face, looked into the distance, and pretended to know nothing.
As she walked and cried, Qi Qi passed by their car. In the darkness, she didn't notice the car parked behind a row of willow trees.
Brother Li pushed Xiaobo, but Xiaobo didn't move, just lowered his head and looked around for the smoke.
Brother Li threw a pack of cigarettes at him.
After Xiaobo finished smoking a cigarette, he opened the door and got out of the car, and walked quickly to the school gate to see the red list.
Luo Qiqi
The big characters with gold powder are at the top of the red list, very dazzling and very arrogant.
Brother Li turned on the stereo and drove the car slowly for a walk. When he got behind Xiaobo, he stopped the car, rolled down the window, and smoked silently.
Xiaobo stood motionless, staring at the red list for a long time.
Brother Li can only see his straight back, and he has absolutely no idea what his expression is now or what he is thinking.
A low singing voice was playing in the carriage, gently rippling in the summer evening breeze.
Brother Li didn't pay attention at first, but he listened and listened.
who is knocking on my window
who is pulling the strings
that forgotten time
Gradually rise out of my heart
who is knocking on my window
who is pulling the strings
The happy scene in memory
slowly come to my mind
The slowly falling rain
keep hitting my window
Only the silent me
reminisce from time to time
who is knocking on my window
who is pulling the strings
The happy scene in memory
slowly come to my mind
