A clean and clear white shirt, a simple and rustic acoustic guitar, warm and sparse dim lights, and an unadorned small stage.

There was nothing superfluous, but Heather couldn't look away, staring at the figure bathed in the light, as if the world outside the spotlight had fallen into darkness, and everything was silent.

Everything has been enlarged to the extreme, but it has been reduced to the extreme. She can clearly see the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, the vigorous and powerful fingers, and even capture the trajectory of the flying symbols. Inexplicably, the vision was so blurred.

The cheerful guitar strings made the dust flying under the lights jump up and dance with the joy and happiness in Renly's eyes, as if piercing through layers of clouds, through the white snow, through the long winter, the first ray of sunlight that fell was shocking. , announcing the arrival of spring, and in an instant, everything recovers.

The whole pioneer village became brighter.

"Depending on each other closely, when you are walking alone, the future will be full of thorns. If you lose your faith in the way forward, I will guide you on the way back. You just need to know that I will stand where you are, when the world is desolate and empty. , and I will stay where I am."

Heather just sat there in a daze, the graceful and beautiful lyrics, like gurgling spring water flowing in his ears, but set off a storm in the depths of his heart. He knows, he knows it all.

He knew that she was walking alone, groping aimlessly in the dark; he knew that she was so frightened by herself, that the long winter seemed to never end, and she could not find the way forward ; He knew that she was tired, she panicked, and she was in pain; he also knew that there was a moment when she really wanted to give up.

But he always stood there, never and never left.

"I will tell you: my love, don't worry anymore, when the world is cold, when the heart is heavy, I will hug warmly, never let go, never, until the blood dries up, I will never leave, don't let go Worrying, I am convinced, we will move forward."

She is not alone, she finally knows that she is not alone.

Lonely to the extreme, darkness to the extreme, dazed to the extreme, she even gave up her cry, and she was alone in the huge world, no one could hear her cry for help, and no one could understand her pain. Suddenly, I found that at the end of the horizon, there was always someone who never left.

Bitterness and sweetness, sadness and happiness, pain and joy, mixed and contradictory emotions surged up at the same time, as if my chest was jammed with cotton, I couldn't breathe.

"Recently, I've been worried that I've made many mistakes, and that I'm haunted by nightmares and can't sleep, but I hear your call, 'I will stand where I am, even if the world is desolate and empty, I will stay where I am.'"

Derek was suddenly stunned, and even before he realized it, the tears had blurred his vision, and the surging emotion was almost breathless.

The heavy weight on his shoulders almost overwhelmed him, and he was always worried that he wasn't doing well enough, that he would miss out on Heather's life, that his existing happiness would suddenly disappear, but , The tighter the hands are, the faster the gravel at the fingertips will slide down, and the nothingness that cannot land is like a demon, almost swallowing him.

"You told me: my love, don't worry anymore, when the world is cold, when the heart is heavy, I will hug warmly, never let go, never, until the blood dries up, I will never leave, don't let go Worrying, I am convinced, we will move forward."

Derek's eyes fell on Heather's thin shoulders, as thin as if there was a gust of wind, and they would go away with the wind; the long smooth hair was slightly messy on his shoulders, he was always so clumsy, he didn't. With Ellie's help, he couldn't even help Heather tie her hair properly.

He quietly raised his right hand and tried to put it on that shoulder, but he couldn't help being timid and shrank back suddenly. The tears suddenly collapsed and burst. Everything was so turbulent that he didn't even have time to react, and it was already flooded. He hurriedly turned his head and wiped the tears from his cheeks in embarrassment, but he couldn't stop it at all.

Renly's fingers danced quickly, the melody gradually rose along with the flying strings, the mood became more and more cheerful, the voice became more and more full, the brisk rhythm ran wildly at the peak of the bright sunshine, as if you could see the light glide past. The trajectory is beautiful.

"I firmly believe that there will be no regrets in this life, even if you are wounded and die with the wind, you don't have to be perfect, no one can do it; you never know where the tide will take us, you never know how the tide will ebb. When will it bring separation, but I will stand where I am, when the world is barren and empty."

A touch of warmth reverberated in the chest, shallow happiness was raised at the corners of the mouth, the bitterness, sadness and pain gradually disappeared, the tears still could not stop, but on the tip of the tongue, it was full of sweetness, as if to clear the heavy fog. , the whole world brightened up; as if through the layers of darkness, the whole vision brightened.

Winter is over and spring is coming.

Heather laughed cheerfully, but burst into tears, like a fool. Turning her head, she saw her father's embarrassment, and there were tears on the old cheeks. This was the first time she saw her father cry.

Since she fell ill, her father had never shown vulnerability in front of her, not even a trace. He always stood behind him silently, bearing everything, carrying the weight of the whole family, and moving on, staggering, but never stop.

Derek was really embarrassed. He raised his hand and wiped the tears from his cheeks, but before he could wipe them away, the tears fell down again. He himself thought it was absurd. of distress.

Then Derek saw that Heather raised his hand and wiped the tears from his cheeks. The soft little hands and the warm touch made Derek stunned for a while, and his eyes met Heather's bright eyes. Behind the hazy tears, a firm light flashed, instantly defeating Derek's last line of defense.

Derek turned his head and pressed his eyes tightly with his palm to prevent the tears from falling. Renly's mellow and moving singing came from his ears. The melody was like the golden sunshine, converging into a stream, gurgling flowing. , illuminating the whole world.

"My dear, don't worry anymore, when the world is cold, when the heart is heavy, I will hug warmly, never let go, never, until the blood dries up, I will never leave, don't worry anymore, I firmly believe, We're going to keep going."

Yes, I firmly believe that we will move forward. go forward ( ).

Taking a deep breath, taking a deep breath again, Derek looked up again. Heather was still smiling and looked at him with tears in his eyes. He showed a bright smile and leaned over awkwardly, wanting to give Heather a hug, but he didn't know what to do. As if he was worried, he exerted a little force. , it will crush the thin body.

So, the hug finally turned into a shoulder slap. The fan-like palm rested lightly on Heather's shoulder. Light but heavy.

Heather laughed even more, she wasn't alone, she was never alone. Then, Heather opened his arms and gave his father a hug. He squeezed harder and harder, and hugged his father tightly. This warm embrace was really long gone, but it tasted the same as in memory.

They will keep going. She wouldn't give up, she knew, and neither would her father and mother.

Lily sat on the spot and kept wiping her tears with a tissue, but she couldn't stop. In the end, she could only use her palm to wipe away the tears that had slipped from her eyes; the smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't help but rise up, wantonly in public. Raised on the ground.

She took a deep look at Heather and Derek, who were hugging each other tightly, with an envious look in her eyes.

She and her father were never close. When she was five years old, her father divorced her mother, and three years later, her father remarried. Later, her father settled in Switzerland, and she and her mother settled in Los Angeles, and did not see each other several times a year.

Turning her head, Lily looked at Renly in the center of the stage through the hazy tears, with a cheerful smile on the corner of his mouth, shallow, faint, just like the golden sunlight falling on a white shirt in the afternoon, It's so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it, and even the halo of the spotlight has become a foil.

He is the middle-aged man who was struggling between life and death in "Buried Alive", the brave and ordinary hero in the screening room, and the bard who wrote poems with music on the stage. In him, there are too many mysteries, which seem to be displayed to everyone, but it seems that they can't see through anything.

Closing her eyes, she seemed to be able to smell the dry sunlight on Renly's body, mixed with a faint woody aroma.

After the performance of the song, Renly let out a light breath.

The regret of the previous life and the persistence of this life finally turned into a smile on the corner of the mouth, which bloomed wantonly. He is lucky. On the road of life, he is never alone. He was accompanied by his family in the last life, and followed by friends in this life. Therefore, he will not give up easily, and he will continue to move forward bravely.

He will achieve his dreams and he will enjoy his life. He firmly believed.

Recovering his thoughts, Renly did not rush to leave the stage, and then performed three more songs, which announced the end of tonight's performance.

When the audience saw this, they were reluctant to part with them, and they all started shouting and ordering songs, from "Charlie Boys" to "Cleopatra", and some even ordered "Your Bones". Unfortunately, Renly just He thanked him with a smile, and then held up his guitar, Shi Shiran left the stage, causing the audience to sigh one after another.

After leaving the stage, Renly walked towards the table where Heather and the others were. Along the way, the people who greeted him continued, but Renly dealt with it comfortably, chatting and laughing. It seemed that everyone took care of him, but his pace did not slow down, and he quickly reached his destination.

After a few polite greetings, Derek and Heather were about to leave.
