Just like there are always times when you can't help humming a song in a sudden mood or situation. Today, in such an environment, even though the faces of these young people are still immature, and even though he knows that they will face many reunions and separations in their lives, Cheng Ran still took Sun Jichao's guitar and sang a song when his heart was moved.
A voice said that what you did was wrong, you should keep a low profile, you are a reborn person, is it appropriate to stir up trouble with things that do not exist in this world so casually
Another voice from the heart told me that I was a reborn person. Shouldn't I pursue the meaning and mark of my existence in this world? If I can't even sing the songs I want to sing, what's the difference between that and lying down and waiting to die? You are a salted fish!
But the song I want to sing... doesn't exist in this world...
Not having it will cause a lot of problems.
For example, now.
In the scene, Jiang Hongshao turned her head and looked at him with eyes that were extremely bright.
"Is it written to... Yang Xia?"
The tone of voice carried an indifference, as if the question was insignificant and was just asked casually, and there was also a deeper meaning, as if saying, if you answer casually, I'll kill you. Haha.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Ran stretched out his right hand and pointed to the Daqing Mountain in the distance on his left. "My cousin wrote this..."
"Well," Jiang Hongshao blinked, "and then?"
"When he was young, he was an artistic youth who liked to sing with a guitar."
"Oh." Jiang Hongshao smiled, "Your uncle is very talented... He must have cheated a lot of girls when he was young... So now it is... the inheritance?"
"This..." Cheng Ran waved his hand, "Absolutely not."
"Okay, I believe it."
Hey, your expression clearly doesn't show that you believe it, okay
The car was late.
Jiang Hongshao stretched lazily and looked towards the road under the street lights. As the cool breeze blew, the street lights emitted fragrant yellow particles among the leafy trees, covering the distant end of the road.
In the silence, there is the chirping of cicadas from the surrounding mountains and a bright moon in the sky.
"How about... we walk back?" the girl said in between the cicadas' chirping.
"OK."
Just as I said this, the car had turned from the road in the distance, hummed along as it approached, stopped at the platform for a while, and then continued forward.
The two did not get on the car, and the road returned to silence.
It is about a few kilometers from Wanghailou to Huatong Company and the municipal government compound, but this does not seem to be a difficult journey.
The moon was bright in the sky, and the breeze was blowing gently. The scent of Jiang Hongshao beside him entered his nose with the wind. Cheng Ran felt that this was life.
In this world, there are always some people who may just sit quietly in a cafe, or just walk silently on the street, or even meet again on the street corner after not seeing each other for many years. They may not need to say too many words to each other, but it is as if they have said a lot of words.
Sometimes, you just need to quietly feel the atmosphere and the presence of people around you.
Cheng Ran glanced at Jiang Hongshao.
Is she also experiencing this fading summer... feeling this moment when she is walking side by side with herself
An unknown amount of time had passed before the two of them walked from the lake with stars falling all over the sky into the city full of colorful lights and shadows, and Jiang Hongshao spoke.
"Cheng Ran, I'm leaving."
The voice was not sad, but peaceful.
There is only the bright and beautiful summer night, but no rumbling spring thunder.
The series of past signs in Cheng Ran's mind were all connected together at this moment.
On the eve of the high school entrance examination, she handed him a thick stack of handwritten notes in the playground. At that time, Cheng Ran thought it was a secret book. Now it seems that it is a "super secret book" from the top student in the grade, as well as the words she said at that time.
The sunset was so dazzling that it made it hard to open your eyes.
"It's okay with me. It will be of greater help to you. The teacher may not be able to explain some things in a simple and easy-to-understand way. I tried to write them down in my own way in the notes in the past few days, which may make it easier for you to understand."
"I've heard many people say that it's too late, but that's wrong. There's still time as long as you don't give up. Cheng Ran, you're not the kind of person who gives up, right?"
Jiang Hongshao said these words in the sunset.
"You wouldn't be willing to accept that you are smart but can't get into a school with a higher score... Although ordinary schools don't actually determine the success or failure of your life and future achievements, I also believe that there is no one who doesn't know you. "
Jiang Hongshao with sad eyes in the red light.
The girl was wearing a plain shirt, and in the red mist particles, she looked like a blooming peony.
"If possible, let us strive for the freedom to choose."
Jiang Hongshao asked her to go to her house for tutoring, and when she said, "I'm going to choose a high school in the future, please give me your guidance," she responded, "Grades don't represent achievement. I just hope you can do better in the future."
After that, Jiang Hongshao said to himself, "Come on, idiot!"
At that time, she must have arranged everything.
I hope that after she leaves, I will have a good way out and a promising future.
There are signs of everything.
All the signs broke out on this day, converging into this sentence: "I'm leaving."
Jiang Hongshao didn't look at him.
Cheng Ran asked softly, "Oh... where are we going?"
"My mother... was transferred to Chengdu, and asked me to go and live with her. My father and I often had no food to eat..." Jiang Hongshao looked over with a smile, and stuck out her tongue playfully.
This is a change in the world line's roulette wheel of fate. After rescuing Xie Houming, Jiang Hongshao, who had experienced the danger with him, also deviated from her original track.
This is the result of my own actions.
"At least... I can eat my fill." Cheng Ran grumbled and finally managed to say this.
Jiang Hongshao smiled faintly and said nothing more.
"So... where will you continue your studies?"
"It should be... Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School. We'll leave tomorrow and handle the paperwork when we get there..."
Jiang Hongshao paused noticeably, and then her voice gradually became quieter.
Chengdu No. 10 Middle School is one of the three most famous traditional high schools in Chengdu. The one with the shortest history among these three high schools can be traced back to the last century. Among them, Chengdu No. 10 Middle School can even be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, when it was the county school "Loushi Jingshe" founded by the prefect of Shu County, which radiated to local rural schools.
Seventeen years after the opening of the Shu County School, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the establishment of "low room and fine house"-style official schools across the country. After the dynasty changed, the history has continued to this day. Sima Xiangru, great writers and scholars of all dynasties, have studied there. In modern times, it was also selected as one of the "first batch of national exemplary general high schools" in the country. It is one of the only 23 national exemplary high schools in the country.
Jiang Hongshao settled down there and went to high school. Cheng Ran was not too surprised, because her father was Li Jingping, she was from the capital, and her family even came from a place more majestic and prestigious than that red-walled courtyard.
Her advanced knowledge, the scenery she experienced, and the world she saw were far beyond those of her peers. Therefore, she actually had a kind of maturity that saw through everything but did not speak out, and at the same time immersed herself in the world.
Cheng Ran could understand the pause in Jiang Hongshao's words just now and the reason why her voice became softer and weaker.
She didn't do anything wrong.
It seems as if they can now walk side by side in the warm breeze on the streets of such a small town, but in fact, in terms of the starting point and platform of life, what separates them is a dimension and a gap like two worlds.
Their intersection may be the brief time and this street in this small city by the sea and mountains. The next moment, they are suddenly separated by the torrent of life and the changes in their circumstances. The earth sinks down, staying here, or will stay here forever.
A towering plain, leaping into the sky, reaching the peaks in the clouds, the vast sea and sky, piercing through the clouds and the sun, what you see is the endless scenery of the world.
Perhaps one day when the person on the top of the mountain looks back to the bottom, the swirling cloud waterfalls and the jagged jungle and rocks have already blocked the way back, and naturally also blocked the thin figure who could not wait to look back.
The so-called natural chasm.
Nothing more than that.
Jiang Hongshao understands this gap better than anyone else.
So she had done her best to help Cheng Ran, doing the last thing she could before she left.
What kind of girl is this...
