The crowd dispersed slowly, Yin Guo couldn't sit still, and ran to step on the sea water after a while.
I used to sleep during the day to catch jet lag, and when night fell, I woke up and realized that I hadn't come down all this time.
Lin Yiyang was still sitting where he was, under the big coconut tree, looking at Yin Guo in the distance.
He said that her long straight hair looks good, so she deliberately didn't cut it short, and kept it until it reached her waist. I can't see it anymore, it's too thin.
When she was chased back by the waves and ran on the beach, he could see a small round face the size of a palm from a distance. He didn't need to look clearly to know where the dimples were and how bright those eyes were.
He still remembered that outside the hotel on that snowstorm night, she was wearing a white wool knitted fisherman's hat, under the brim of which was a pair of shiny black eyes. At that time, she pulled down her scarf with her fingers, revealing a complete face, pursing her lips with a strange and polite smile, standing on the steps and beside the suitcase, thanking herself and bowing to herself.
At that time, he knew nothing about her, maybe just a Chinese tourist visiting New York for a few days, while he was studying in Washington.
At that time, he didn't even know if he would see her again in the future.
At that time, he thought he was not normal, and when he saw her little gesture of bowing and thanking her, he wanted to slow down the time and watch for a while.
But he didn't do or say anything.
He's gotten used to this over the years.
Until, before leaving in a taxi, her younger brother chased him out and insisted on adding him on WeChat. Lin Yiyang did not hesitate at all, and gave it directly. God knows, how long has it been since he added a new friend.
If her brother hadn't been there that day, it is estimated that the girl who bowed to thank her would remain in Feng Xueye's memory, and the two of them would have no chance to interact.
…
Behind them, Jiang Yang and Fan Wen were strolling around, saw Lin Yiyang sitting here, and came over to say hello.
Lin Yiyang noticed them standing beside him, and asked casually, "Is my wife pretty?"
The two left, not wanting to talk to him.
Chen Anan passed by, Lin Yiyang called him over, and asked again: "Is it pretty? My wife?"
Chen An'an held back for a long time, praising someone's girlfriend for being pretty is not good, and silently let herself disappear.
Lin Yiyang found that someone was looking at Yin Guo, who was still a boy.
He yelled at Yin Guo who was chased back by the waves.
Yin Guo immediately stepped on the sand with bare feet, ran towards him, threw himself on him, and laughed non-stop: "Let's go together, let's go to the sea together."
"Go to the bar first." He put his arms around her, took out the mobile phone from his pocket with a smile, and shook it for her. "Your friend is here."
Lin Yiyang hugged her to stand up, took the slippers of the two of them, and asked her to go to the sink to wash off the sand on her feet.
Lin Yiyang specially reserved two tables at the open-air bar, ordered and paid for dinner, and let Jiang Yang and the others occupy the seats. Wu Wei doesn't like swimming, and he doesn't like fireworks, so he stays there for a long time.
The rest of the people just sit for a while and run away.
So the first person to see Zheng Yi was actually Wu Wei.
He didn't expect Yin Guo's friend to be a girl taller than Lin Lin, with black hair tied up casually, probably about the same height as Wu Wei, with legs longer than him, wearing hot pants. Sitting down, he introduced himself with a smile, and within a few words, Wu Wei was already dizzy.
When Yin Guo and Lin Yiyang came, these two people who had been on the topic of WeChat finally had the opportunity to meet.
Zheng Yi took the initiative to extend his right hand: "Hello, alumnus."
After Lin Yiyang smiled and shook hands with each other, the four sat down.
Before she could sit still, Zheng Yi asked the most curious one: "At the beginning she disliked you as 'not very handsome' in the circle of friends, what do you think?"
Lin Yiyang reacted.
What a distant question. The first thought I saw at the time should be—she actually came to DC.
Wu Wei was happy to hear that: "Have you ever disliked him?"
He gave Yin Guo a thumbs up, good girl, it's really unusual to be able to handle setbacks, and she won't be tempted by beauty.
"It was a joke that day." Yin Guo was really speechless.
She was under the table and kicked Zheng Yi.
While Lin Yiyang was talking with Wu Wei, he sent Zheng Yi a WeChat message—
Fruit in the forest: Why do you ask this right away
Zheng Yi: Didn't I want to liven up the atmosphere
Zheng Yi: How about changing the question.
Zheng Yi: How did you find it in the no man's land in Hawaii last time
Fruit in the forest: ...
***
After a while, everyone arrived.
In the open-air area outside the bar, Lin Yiyang's childhood brothers surrounded the two innermost tables.
The last one to arrive was Jiang Yang.
He carried his guitar, walked across several tables, and handed the guitar to Lin Yiyang.
Everyone laughed, pulled the chairs away one after another, and changed the positions of the tables so that Lin Yiyang could face Yin Guo alone.
…
Yin Guo stared at him: "Aren't you... you can't play the guitar?"
Lin Yiyang smiled and said nothing.
"He won't," Jiang Yang said, "and what I have learned now is the result of 70 days of assault training."
"...He won't ask for marriage, right?" As the woman's only relative and friend present, Zheng Yi was also stunned.
Witness a marriage proposal when they first meet? What a jackpot.
According to Lin Yiyang's personality, this kind of semi-public expression is not what he is good at. After all, he is still a reserved person. Fortunately, there are not many Chinese tourists here. At least the people at the next table are not of Asian descent, so they will not understand all their conversations.
He bowed his head and recalled, Jiang Yang was afraid that he would forget the tune when he was nervous, so he whispered a few words to him.
Yin Guo watched the whole process, acting like a fool, not daring to say a word.
Lin Yiyang also looked at her.
He never thought of doing this kind of thing in the past, and he will never have the opportunity in the future. Just this once.
The people around Lin Yiyang are also well aware of his temperament since he was a child, and they know to protect him and give him a small encirclement, making him feel like he is in a small closed space.
Slowly, there was a guitar sound coming from this small corner, which was the prelude to "yellow".
He is really not good at it, and he followed Jiang Yang little by little to where he is today. From that afternoon, before going to Yin Guo's house, he wanted to marry her, and he began to make preparations for it. Book a hotel, learn a musical instrument.
Of course, the worst-case scenario was also thought of, and it was really impossible to ask Jiang Yang to help. But as a person, he pursued perfection, so he insisted on learning it by himself.
It just doesn't play nicely at all.
Lin Yiyang, who is capable of doing everything with ease, is actually very cautious when doing this, afraid of making mistakes. Although the score that Jiang Yang changed for him was already extremely simple.
No one has heard Lin Yiyang sing.
Everyone also knows that he has no musical talent, no one is omnipotent, but fortunately the song is not difficult, and his English is good, so it is not difficult to hum.
Even the unexpected people in this corner cannot hear him humming this song.
But Yin Guo memorized this song long ago, even if he whispered so low that he could barely hear the lyrics, he still knew which line he was singing.
That line—"Look at the stars, look how they shine for you."
He looked up and looked into her eyes.
That sentence - "You know, you know I love you so."
He looked up again, looking into her eyes again.
At the end, there was no sound of the piano.
It was the people at the tables outside the corner who got the applause first. They thought it was the two tables of Chinese tourists entertaining themselves, and they laughed and praised their playing well. Jiang Yang turned around and thanked him.
And here, the two people surrounded by everyone didn't make a sound.
Yin Guo's eyes were all red with tears in their sockets.
Lin Yiyang never told anyone, including Jiang Yang who asked him to play this song, to tell them the meaning of this song.
As if it was a secret, his and hers.
He just told Jiang Yang that this song is very important and he must teach himself.
Jiang Yang's understanding is also limited, the lyrics are good, especially the line you know I love you so, which is suitable for sensationalism.
For Lin Yiyang, he needs a bar, a song, and the starry sky in Hawaii.
Here, tonight is all satisfied.
"I don't know if you have seen an old movie, The World of Truman," Lin Yiyang said to her in Chinese, a mother tongue that only this circle of people can understand, "In that movie, there is a man named Truman, who lives In a false world, surrounded by everyone every day, everyone knows that his life is fake, except himself. Until a girl appeared, woke him up, let him see the truth, and let him leave I left that false place and returned to the real world.”
He was quiet for a while, and then said: "In the past ten years, I have also created a false world for myself, which looks very good, but it is not what I really want. Similarly, a girl appeared, She took me out."
After such a long time, he can still remember how he felt when he added Yin Guo to WeChat and saw her Moments.
That day, he was afraid that the signal in the New York subway station would be bad, so he swiped her circle of friends at the entrance for a full hour. During that hour, he not only got her information, but also saw where he used to be. world.
The domestic circle, the circle he was familiar with.
At that time, he was listening to the people in the subway chatting in low voices about the paralyzed traffic, the bad snowstorm, and discussing the large-scale school suspension notice... But he was looking at her circle of friends, and he couldn't stop once he flipped through.
Still thinking, what does all the noise around me, the traffic jams and blizzards in foreign countries have to do with me
Lin Yiyang put his hand on the guitar.
For her again, he accomplished something that was impossible in the past.
A man who didn't have any literary skills, didn't pursue these at all when he was a teenager, and even thought these men were boring, learned this in order to let her marry him.
"Yin Guo, thank you." He said.
"Thank you," he repeated.
She could feel her tears falling down her thighs and hands.
She shook her head: "I didn't..."
"I know what you want to say, but you didn't do anything." Lin Yiyang took her words.
But you brought me so much—
I've watched every one of your live broadcasts in the Washington Ballroom over and over again.
Your desire to see me has helped me overcome obstacles and step into the arena for the first time in more than ten years.
After you won the game, you crossed half of the field, held my hand, and passed on the joy of victory to me. You must not know what else you pass on.
Crazy love for a project, and the pride of being the king of the arena, these are all possessed by the former Lin Yiyang.
Lin Yiyang looked at her and said slowly, "I want to marry you."
Yin Guo, I want to marry you. This is what he has in mind.
He met her eyes and asked her again: "Do you want to marry me?"
…
He wasn't saying to her: Marry me.
It's asking: Do you want to marry me
The girl in front of her, with red eyes, was wiping her tears with the back of her hand, and kept nodding to him.
Lin Yiyang smiled.
He stretched out his hand, held her face in his palm, and wiped her tears with his fingertips.
I used to feel empty no matter how hard I tried or how hard I tried. Since life is unfair, why spell it like this? There is no place you have to go, no thing you really want, and no one you have to be with.
until,
During the blizzard, I met you.
***
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all Yellow.
…
You know, you know I love you so,
You know I love you so.
—"Yellow"

Originally, some readers who took the postgraduate entrance examination said that the postgraduate entrance examination was on the 22nd, and I was prepared to write three chapters, which happened to be that day. But at the end there was a big climax, and it was not good to cut it off, so I finished writing it all. Friends of the postgraduate entrance examination, come on~

As usual, two sentences at the end of the full text.
But this time it seems that there is not much to say... Why, I guess I have already enjoyed writing it
How much I like frustration, you can tell by looking at his birthday.
How much I like Xiaoguo, old readers know that I like girls with round faces hahahahahahaha, I really want to pinch her face.
If you want to buy a physical book, you can wait on Weibo, or you can directly bookmark this article. Generally, it will be updated in the text before listing to inform everyone. (I don't know when it will be released, you have seen the old drama that ended in January and it hasn't been pre-sold until today = =... )
If you want to know the latest news, you can also go to Weibo and so on.
If you don't have these two requirements, you don't need to go to Weibo. Anyway, I don't have anything serious all day long. Say goodbye right here.
It is a pleasure to write this article, and I wish everyone who reads this article will always have sunshine in their lives—no blizzards but sunshine.
Goodbye by fate~
