Jiang Hongshao did nothing wrong, but she has always been careful to maintain the invaluable connection between her and Cheng Ran, between the two gaps.
At the party at Liu Ying's house, the two exchanged sharp words. In front of the cultural wall at the isolation board construction site, the two expressed their opinions on the composition of the comet picture.
They splashed ink, they sketched meticulously, they looked at each other from time to time and smiled at each other. They rode in the same car when chasing criminals, they walked and supported each other in the mountains and forests, they escaped on the line between life and death, they spent time together in the school playground, they used the high school entrance examination as a chess game, they watched each other's painting, they looked up at the sky with comets together, and did everything together.
None of them should be divided or swallowed up by that natural chasm.
The boy will always grow up. Even if the boy discovers this one day and tries to cut off this connection, she will reach out her hand to maintain, hold on, and hold it tightly. Even if everything she thought was unforgettable is finally defeated by the years that cannot be turned back. Even if she is already covered with bruises when she finally reaches out and takes back her hand, she will have no regrets or complaints.
Because... those are all memories we experienced together.
I thought there would be an awkward silence, and the boy's self-esteem might be hurt and shaken to varying degrees, but Cheng Ran's voice rang out at this moment.
"Rongcheng No. 10 High School? It's really a wealthy school. The time for independent enrollment has passed, but it turns out that it is one of the top three high schools in Rongcheng. The kids there are more down-to-earth, so don't bully them."
"What..."
Jiang Hongshao looked over.
"???"
It turns out that he is indeed different.
Jiang Hongshao blinked and said, "At most I will show some mercy."
"How about... you go first." Cheng Ran looked up and thought for a moment, as if he had calculated it carefully, "I'll come back to find you?"
"Looking for me?"
Jiang Hongshao didn't react and blinked her long eyelashes. "Tenth middle school?"
"Where else? Your home? Whatever your mother uses, a knife, a spear, a halberd, an axe, a hook or a fork, so I can be prepared."
"My mom uses a bazooka."
Before they knew it, they had arrived in front of the red door of the government compound.
The surroundings were very quiet, the light from the street lamps was dim, and there were a few bright yellow lights on in the surrounding arch-shaped buildings.
Jiang Hongshao's face is naturally outlined by light and shadow, giving her an air of being detached from the mundane world and fascinating everyone.
Jiang Hongshao just stood there, looking at Cheng Ran.
Cheng Ran also looked at her with a smile.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Hongshao smiled slightly, "Okay. I'll wait for you."
Cheng Ran looked at her for a moment, shook his head and said helplessly, "It seems you still don't believe it!"
Jiang Hongshao smiled but did not comment.
"Do I have to step on a colorful cloud and fall from the sky..."
"Stepping on the colorful clouds... Are you on fire? Do you want me to call 119 in advance to pick you up?"
Cheng Ran: “!!?”
She tilted her head, thought for a moment, then looked at the boy in front of her half seriously, "I don't disbelieve it."
"Everything is possible. If it's you... it's even more possible. A person should be innocent but not childish, brave but not reckless, optimistic but not blind." Jiang Hongshao's laziness at this moment was touching and hard to describe. "I can't be blindly optimistic, otherwise I'll be standing at the gate of No. 10 Middle School every day... wouldn't that be... what?"
She paused and when she thought the term "stone qilin" was more appropriate, Cheng Ran's voice sounded at an inopportune time.
"The Husband-Waiting Rock."
Jiang Hongshao glanced at Cheng Ran, who had already drifted ten meters away, with murderous intent, and waved, "Come here."
Cheng Ran smiled, "I think it's good for me to get some fresh air here."
Jiang Hongshao smiled and said, "I'll only hit you once."
Cheng Ran looked her up and down, "Excuse me... I think this 'one move' of yours will be a combo."
After a long stalemate, Jiang Hongshao said, "Then you better try harder."
Lao Jiang, do you think this "Come on" is perfunctory
"I'll have to change my phone when I get there, and it might be inconvenient there. Then we can... write to each other."
The correspondence of letters is much slower than WeChat and email in later times, but it is also much more interesting... As the saying goes, seeing the letter is like seeing the person.
"OK."
Jiang Hongshao looked at her seriously and asked, "Do you have the habit of taking photos somewhere, using postcards, or even writing greeting cards during festivals?"
"Yes. Isn't that normal?"
"That's great. I also like to collect these," Jiang Hongshao spread out her slender palms, "Where you go to play, print out the photos and send them along with the letters. Every year, I'll send a dozen Christmas cards and New Year cards at a time, so it's easier to choose."
Cheng Ran: “…”
Good choice you ghost ah.
This is... I thought the song I sang was written for Yang Xia! ... I didn't say it before, but it turned out to be waiting for me here.
Cheng Ran looked around the quiet neighborhood, then looked at Jiang Hongshao, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, my cousin has another song... How about I sing it for you?"
"For me?"
"My cousin..."
"For me." Jiang Hongshao interrupted him and said seriously.
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
Jiang Hongshao raised her lips slightly, "You gave it to me."
Cheng Ran was stunned.
"Don't think too much. How can you give someone else's things as a gift? Do you understand the minimum sincerity when giving someone a gift?" Jiang Hongshao frowned.
"Okay... This song is given to Jiang Hongshao by Cheng Ran. Let's call it... The Brightest Star." Cheng Ran smiled. He knew Jiang Hongshao well. If she was unhappy, she would make up for it in other ways.
Jiang Hongshao crossed her hands and let them hang down, with her left hand covering her right hand, and looked at him quietly.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Ran still felt a little uncomfortable when those beautiful eyes looked at him. He felt like he was going to enjoy the feudal life of kneeling down to serve the evil emperor in the next second.
Jiang Hongshao said, "You gave me a gift, so I have to be polite... This is called, listening attentively. It's quite ceremonial, right? But the premise is, without the guitar accompaniment, can you still perform at the same level as before? I doubt it."
"I said... could you please shut up?"
Jiang Hongshao made a playful gesture of covering her mouth.
Cheng Ran cleared his throat.
Jiang Hongshao's eyes flashed like a cat.
Cheng Ran started to sing softly.
“Can the brightest star in the night sky hear the loneliness and sighs in the heart of the person looking up at it
The brightest star in the night sky, can you remember the figure that once walked with me and disappeared in the wind
…
The lights in the surrounding corridors and residents' homes began to light up one after another.
A voice came from the other side, "Which fetal god doesn't sleep at night..."
Jiang Hongshao, who was always elegant and never lost her composure in front of others, covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes trembled.
Cheng Ran raised his voice, thinking to himself, "I am a reborn man, so who am I afraid of?" "I pray... to have a transparent heart and eyes that can shed tears"
…
This is the Hongmen courtyard, and the loquat tree that I climbed.
He met the girl here, and many stories happened between them, and his story with her in the mountains and seas also ended here.
This is the beginning and also the end.
"Give me the courage to believe again, to embrace you beyond the lies"
…
"Woof woof woof!" The dog was woken up and was ready to bark desperately.
Cheng Ran saw Jiang Hongshao covering her mouth with her beautiful eyes red.
He shouted, "Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence, whenever I get lost in the night
The brightest star in the night sky, please guide me to be closer to you..."
Ding! The lights on the second floor of the Red Gate Courtyard suddenly lit up, and the curtains were torn apart!
A black-faced god with an iron-like face that towered over the night sky suddenly appeared!
Cheng Ran’s singing suddenly stopped!
Amid the barking of countless dogs and the scolding of neighbors all around, Jiang Hongshao smiled with tears in her eyes, holding her hands to her mouth.
Cheng Ran fled in panic.
…
…
Halfway through the Wanghai Building classmate dinner, the monitor of Class 1, Huang Qian, finally arrived. Huang Qian was wearing a straight shirt and tailor-made trousers. He was dressed up carefully and even had his hair permed...
This was also the reason why he had missed the dinner at Wanghai Tower in advance today. This time he planned to make a final effort, and if he failed, he would die. He even prepared flowers.
As a result, when he arrived, he looked around for Jiang Hongshao but couldn't find her. He learned about the explosive scene at the dinner party. Then Jiang Hongshao and Cheng Ran left early, and Huang Qian opened half a bottle of beer.
After drinking it all, he leaned against the wall, banging his head against it again and again... That look... There is nothing more sad than a dead heart.
…
After the dinner at Wanghai Tower, Jiang Hongshao disappeared from the sight of everyone in No. 1 Middle School.
Occasionally, a boy would write down a poem in front of his notebook on the desk, feeling lost, "The peony blossoms outside the old fence, I come back to see it with tears in my spring clothes. The old friend is gone, but the flowers are still there... They are better than the green pines that keep us company in the cold winter."
I don’t know who I’m missing.
Some people also wrote "Die Cheng Ran, die Cheng Ran, damn Cheng Ran."
I don't know who I want to kill.
