Wen Liang found He Tianran on the playground.
It was already 5:30 in the afternoon, and the afterglow of the setting sun and the fiery red of the maple leaves complemented each other. The entire playground was rendered as if it were covered with a golden-red blanket, and even the dust in the air flashed with golden light.
There were many classmates on the playground, but Wen Liang still found He Tianran among the vast black spots at a glance.
In her eyes, that person was also shining.
But now, the boy is hanging his head, walking like a dying old man, circling aimlessly on the plastic runway.
He looked really lifeless.
This made the girl very angry. She quickly followed him quietly, and then slapped He Tianran's slightly hunched back. Before the boy could react, she jumped forward two steps, turned around, and faced the little old man. , pretending to be fierce:
"Straighten your back and raise your head! You have no temperament at all! If I find out again, it won't be as simple as patting you on the back!"
Today she wore a white peaked cap on her head and a loose pure white hoodie on her body. The sleeves covered half of her palms. Looking at this girl who was so fair in the backlight, He Tianran His body straightened involuntarily following her words.
Listening to her words seems to have become a habit.
But is this habit really good for you?
He Tianran was thinking about the answer in his mind, and said a faint "hmm" in his mouth.
Wen Liang put her hands behind her back, raised her eyes and leaned over. She observed He Tianran's expression and asked:
"Will you have a solo tonight?"
"Ah? You're not singing and I'm accompanying you? Where's the solo?"
He Tianran didn't understand for a moment, but Wen Liang was already laughing.
"Haha, you also know that it's me who sings? Then what do I think of you now? Are you in a state that only someone who wants to hold a concert has? Don't worry, as long as you perform normally, you will be able to do it! Even if you play wrong, I won’t be out of tune either!”
"That's what makes me nervous. Can you say something reliable?"
"Hmph~ It's reliable, isn't it!"
Wen Liang hung the backpack behind her on her chest, opened the zipper, and took out a food box from her bag. Inside was a framed circle of daifuku, with various flavors including matcha, blueberry, and pineapple, which looked colorful.
"Dang~dang~ I brought snacks. Eating something sweet before the performance can relieve the tension. Come on, let's sit on the lawn and eat!"
Wen Liang held the food box in one hand and took He Tianran to the grass to sit down.
"I...I don't like sweets...you know?"
Wen Liang lowered his head and opened the lid. He Tianran looked at her movements and asked.
"From today on, you must like it! Come on, get one for yourself!"
The short-haired girl rolled her eyes at him and handed the food box over without any room for negotiation.
He Tianran picked up a matcha-flavored daifuku. It was soft to the touch and covered with a layer of sugar. He stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice and then swallowed it.
"That's right. I just went to the classroom to look for you and couldn't find it. I thought you were getting cold feet. Take this."
With that said, she took out He Tianran's mobile phone from her bag.
He Tianran took his things with a strange expression, "You don't want to eat?"
Wen Liang placed the food box on the ground and shook his head with a smile, "Eating sweets before singing will make your throat sticky."
The boy didn't answer. He could only pick up another Dafu and eat it, hiding his expression. After a while, he paused and said:
"Can you... tell me more about our future...?"
Wen Liang was startled when he heard this, "Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"
He Tianran pressed his dry lips with his tongue.
"It's you who said...we won't be lovers in the future. I've always cared about this."
The young man had never dared to ask this question. To him, Wen Liang's appearance was like a deus ex machina, full of abruptness, drama, and reality.
She pulled herself out of the ordinary and boring daily life. She was like a cheat, plug-in, or system in online novels. As long as she was around, things that seemed difficult before would become easier.
She fits him so well that she has almost become an indispensable part of He Tianran's life.
But such a perfect girl,
The future is not with him.
What Ye Jiaqi said to Xue Yong was actually not the worst answer in He Tianran's expectation. He had always been suspicious of everything. Just imagine, a person who takes the outcome of his future death very lightly, a prank... …
It really doesn’t have that big of an impact.
However, a person who likes to remain skeptical now has a lot more expectations for the future.
Therefore, the failure of his expectations is what he fears most now.
Looking at He Tianran's obsessive eyes, Wen Liang's expression dimmed. Her legs were bent and her hands were on the grass to support her reclining body. She looked at the sky as if she was lost in memories.
"Yes... why... this is really a long and winding story..." She turned her head and asked He Tianran: "Is it because you won't give me the ticket if I don't tell you?"
Looking into her eyes, he lowered his head as if something was stuck in his throat.
why?
You don't seem to know anything about the future other than me.
No, even for me, you don’t really understand.
You don’t know that I can play guitar, you don’t know about my parents, you don’t know the disguise I put on when I wake up, you don’t know that I don’t like sweets...
If all this can be explained by "the future is not a couple", then why don't you prove it to yourself more?
If that rebirth prank is true, why are you still so cooperative?
If you have experienced a party once, you should know that Zhang Zhifan will confess his love to you in the evening, right?
Are you really kidding me?
"Of course, I have a surprise for you tonight!"
Wen Liang bloomed a bright smile again. She always smiled when facing He Tianran, but these words made the boy suffocate, and then he stood up:
"A Liang..."
"Um?"
He took the ticket out of his pocket, bent down, and placed it in her hand.
"The future...it's better not to talk about it."
He Tianran regained his composure. When the ticket was sent out, he suddenly felt relieved. He stretched on the spot twice and said nonchalantly: "We can see the future by ourselves."
"..."
Wen Liang looked down at the familiar blue ticket in his hand, with his name written on it. The time was October 1st, ten o'clock in the morning, from Hong Kong City to Kunming.
No matter how many times, he will do this.
He is so kind, he knows everything, but he still believes in himself at the last moment.
This may be the reason why I like him...
Remain skeptical and don’t give up hope.
This is the current He Tianran.
He Tianran is about to enter the future.
Wen Liang raised her head and looked up at the boy who belonged to her at this moment. She held up the ticket and waved it with a happy face.
Congratulations, Tianran, the transformation is over.
…
…
The welcome party went on as planned, and He Tianran was very nervous. He looked from the backstage and saw that the auditorium was full of people. The programs on the stage were all arranged by the students themselves, so the level was inevitably uneven. If the program was exciting, then maybe There will also be a little applause, but if the show is too hip, booing is the norm.
Today's post-00s students are really real ducks, with flamboyant personalities and no mercy at all.
"Wen Liang, are you finally here?"
Zhang Zhifan's voice came from behind. He was wearing a black dress today. He looked elegant and gentle in his movements.
"Zhifan, you look very handsome today."
The warm voice beside him said hello.
"Ah? Haha, no, how about it? Will you be nervous later? My show is right behind you. When you finish singing, wait for me backstage."
Zhang Zhifan walked forward and could see that he was in a good mood at the moment.
"Huh? Okay, don't be nervous, just relax."
The two of them walked aside and chatted quietly for a few words. He Tianran tried his best to put his eyes on the stage, but when he heard the warm laughter in his ears, he couldn't help turning his head. The two of them didn't know They were talking about something, and they happened to be saying goodbye.
"Then I'll go get ready first. Everything goes well for you. Just remember to wait for me."
"Yes, I will. Everything goes well for you too."
After Wen Liang finished dealing with it, he walked back to He Tianran, while Zhang Zhifan cast a meaningful look at him.
At this time the girl said: "Don't you have anything to say?"
He Tianran suppressed the restlessness in his heart and remained calm on his face.
"It's your freedom who you make friends with, what can I say?"
Wen Liang looked at him and said seriously:
"That's what I said to myself when I watched you and Cao Aiqing go to the restaurant."
He Tianran finally turned his head and looked at her, a little angry:
"I, this, this is different!"
Wen Liang shrugged: "Yes, yes, the difference is that you did it secretly, thinking no one would know, right?"
He Tianran knew that he could not express warmth and coolness with his words, and he did not want to argue with her, so he could only remain silent.
Time passed little by little, and the programs were replaced one by one. Neither of them spoke anymore. Finally, with the host's announcement, it was their turn to take the stage.
He Tianran's heart was beating wildly. What if Zhang Zhifan really confessed his love on the stage later? What would he do?
Wen Liang has already accepted her ticket, she should understand what she means.
But why is there still no expression?
A wave of cheers like a tsunami interrupted his thoughts. Wen Liang had already taken the lead on the stage. As a well-known figure in Hong Kong, her popularity is naturally extraordinary. Speaking of which, Wen Liang's program It is also a reserved item of the welcome party. Since I was a child star when I was young, the school leaders paid special attention to it.
"Warm and cool~~~!!"
"Goddess~~~ahhh!!!"
"A Liang is so beautiful today!"
The light chasing the girl on the stage was fixed in the center. She first bent down slightly and bowed, and then calmly adjusted the height of the microphone stand. She was tall and tall, and had specially put on a dress for the party. The blue dress and exposed white shoulders glowed faintly under the light.
The cheers from the audience have never stopped since she took the stage. Every move she makes on the stage is so natural. Once she stands there, she shines so brightly that people can no longer take their eyes away.
After getting everything done, she stopped moving and looked sideways to the backstage on the right.
He Tianran was separated from her beauty. The party staff had already moved chairs for the two of them in advance. The positions were in the center, making it convenient for them to play and sing.
"Huh~"
Taking a deep breath, He Tianran was about to take the stage.
"Come on, He ~ classmate ~ don't mess it up."
At some point, Zhang Zhifan appeared behind him, with a joking tone while maintaining a smile.
He Tianran did not look back, nor did he pay attention to his strange anger. After all, there was someone waiting for him in the light ahead.
I can't keep her waiting any longer.
Seeing that the abandoned house ignored him, Zhang Zhifan frowned secretly, but relaxed after a moment, and his expression was playful, waiting to see what would happen next.
The boy slowly walked onto the stage with his guitar. The unknown changes in this month have become more obvious under the spotlight, especially now. He is as tall as a bamboo, and his facial features are clear and elegant under his medium-length hair. , the soft lines blur the cold edges of the face, and the thin lips are tightly pursed, coupled with an unknown melancholic temperament, exuding a mysterious and unconscious attraction that makes you want to get closer.
His appearance also caused many people to exclaim and discuss.
"Which class is the senior in the abstinence department from? What's his name?"
"Is there such a handsome guy in our school? I've never heard of him before."
"Damn it, this otaku He Tianran actually looks like this? This is the first time I've seen him clearly in three years..."
"What? Is he the dead nerd from Class 2? Wow... What a big change. Are all nerds with potential?"
Cao Aiqing was sitting in the auditorium of her class, listening to the discussions of the classmates around her. She felt a little proud, thinking that she was indeed right. He is a very good person. After this time, the classmates in the class felt a little proud. His bad impression will definitely change!
She looked at the bouquet of flowers placed on her legs. She went to the flower shop to buy them after school today. The flowers were well framed and were suitable for giving to friends.
Her eyes were fixed on the boy on the stage again. She didn't know whether it was the effect of the lighting or something else, but her beautiful eyes were shining brightly.
He Tianran sat down in the middle of the stage and connected the sound cable to his guitar. A sound of electricity sounded briefly and then disappeared quickly.
Wen Liang, who was sitting opposite him, waited quietly for him to finish adjusting. He gave him a look, and the boy nodded understandingly, indicating that he could start.
The students in the auditorium gradually became quiet, and the stage lights turned into soft purple and cyan in time.
After a while, the prelude of the song "Little Lucky" started playing, and at the same time, Wen Liang also spoke in advance and said softly:
"I want to give this song to...every student here. I hope that one day, you will also be able to meet your own little luck."
The girl's sudden words made He Tianran's heart tighten, but fortunately, his fingers had acquired muscle memory from recent rehearsals, and the guitar sound was still very stable. He looked at Wen Liang's smirk on him, and he felt helpless at the corner of his mouth. The ground pulled out an arc.
"I heard raindrops falling on the green grass, and I heard the bell ringing in the distance..."
The song echoed in the auditorium, with beautiful melody and ethereal voice. Everyone present seemed to follow Wen Liang's singing and get into the emotions she weaved.
"I didn't understand feelings when I fell in love with you, but I felt unforgettable until I left you. Why didn't I realize that meeting you was the best thing in life..."
Their cooperation was so intimate that when they sang this line, the audience looked at the man and woman on the stage.
But this girl only has herself in her eyes now.
Just a glance at each other made He Tianran confused and confused, and his heart was filled with emotions.
When the chorus came, Wen Liang stood up and walked to the stage, stretched out his hand, pointed the microphone towards the audience, and held his ear with the other hand.
Maybe it’s because this song is already widely spread, or maybe it’s because it’s guided by the charm of Wenliang on the stage. The students in the audience sang loudly and cooperatively:
"Maybe I was busy smiling and crying, busy chasing shooting stars in the sky..."
The chorus from the audience seemed to be able to lift the ceiling of the auditorium. The elf on the stage withdrew the microphone. The song came to an end, and the lights instantly matched her emotions and suddenly turned into gold and sprinkled on her body.
"I am so lucky to have met you, but I have lost the right to burst into tears for you. I hope that in the sky that I cannot see, you spread your wings and meet your destiny. How lucky will she be."
He Tianran looked at her back. She was like an angel, coming to him with all her brilliance, dispelling all the darkness in the world.
As the fingertips played the last note, the performance ended. The overwhelming cheers and screams came again, and the center of attention on the stage took another bow.
Wen Liang turned around and slowly walked to He Tianran.
His Adam's apple squirmed, and in a daze, he saw the girl's lips move.
The cheers were too loud for him to hear, so he had to guess.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
It should be this sentence. Wen Liang asked Zhang Zhifan just now after they were chatting and laughing in the background.
That prank...
Coming?
He could have escaped like before, especially knowing all the ins and outs.
Even though you know it's a trap, do you still fall into it?
However, He Tianran no longer thinks so much. He just wants to say something to the girl in front of him:
"I like you!"
After saying this, the boy gasped.
If you want to lie to me, just lie to me, if you want to play a prank, just play a prank. He Tianran only knew that if he didn't say this, he would really regret it for the rest of his life.
"..."
The boy didn't have a microphone, and Wen Liang also blocked the audience's view when he walked over. In the center of the huge stage, this was a confession that could only be heard between the two of them.
Wen Liang was stunned. She stood there and did not come forward. After a moment, she suddenly said "said" with a suppressed laugh. Then, she leaned forward and said in He Tianran's ear:
"What I just said is that the performance is over, don't just sit around, it's time for us to get off the stage!"
"..."
"..."
it's over?
Is it really over?
Is there nothing else to expand on?
Or is it that the time has not come yet?
He Tianran put away his guitar and walked off the stage like floating clouds. Wen Liang followed him without saying a word.
"I……"
"It was too loud just now. I didn't hear what you just said."
Wen Liang's expression was cold.
"Then, let's go out and talk."
He Tianran was at a loss. Just when he thought the girl would readily agree as usual, what he got was a shake of his head.
She turned around and looked at the stage again. At this time, there was another burst of shouts, among which the screams of the girls were particularly enthusiastic.
It was Zhang Zhifan. He came on stage, holding a bouquet of roses in his hand.
He placed the flowers on the piano, then straightened his dress and sat down, his fingers raised in front of his mouth. With one movement, the girls' screams miraculously stopped.
Then the finger tapping gradually accelerated, and he played the song "Flower Dance" in an extremely fancy way. He waved his arms widely, in a state of selflessness, and playing the piano with his eyes closed was even more incomprehensible, which brought out the artist's style. He is so good at playing the whole song that he is worthy of the title of the Piano Prince of Hong Kong and China.
From time to time, there would be shouts from the girls in the audience. After the performance, Zhang Zhifan was not in a hurry to leave the stage. He took off the microphone on the piano and stood up.
"Actually, the reason why I played this piece today is because I don't want to leave any regrets for myself. In fact, during my three years in high school, I fell in love with a girl..."
As soon as this sentence was said, most of the girls in the audience couldn't sit still, because they had already anticipated what would happen next.
"When I knew that the girl also loved me, I was very excited and happy. Although we were going in both directions, I still felt that it would be better for a boy to do this kind of thing, so I thought it would be better for a boy to do this at this special moment today. , to express my feelings to her...I think, in fact, many people know who that girl is..."
"Wow~ what is this~"
"who is it?"
"Wenliang! To Wenliang!"
"Wenliang! Wenliang! Wenliang!"
A group of people in the audience cheered angrily, but Zhang Zhifan did not stop them and allowed them to shout Wen Liang's name.
And when He Tianran watched the girl beside him gradually step out of the background, his heart sank.
The heroine slowly appeared to face Zhang Zhifan, causing another uproar in the audience.
"Wen Liang, I like you, can you be my girlfriend?"
Zhang Zhifan picked up the roses on the piano and held them in front of the girl with both hands.
Everyone fell silent, waiting for a reply.
Wen Liang cleared his throat and took the microphone that Zhang Zhifan had just put down.
"When are you going to get the flowers?"
The joy on Zhang Zhifan's face was beyond words, which undoubtedly symbolized the girl's acceptance of herself.
Wen Liang took the bouquet of roses, but before Zhang Zhifan could be happy for a second, she heard her through the microphone, allowing everyone in the auditorium to hear the second half of her sentence:
"As for running, you can run with whomever you like. I'm still in a hurry, so I'll leave first."
Everyone wanted to cheer when they saw Wen Liang taking Hua Zheng, but when they heard this sentence, they were stunned for a moment, and then they thought about it. This sentence is the real bomb!
Crazy, the people in the audience who witnessed this scene let out unprecedented screams.
Especially a group of boys, they were so excited that they were jumping up and down in their seats. They were already very irritable when a group of girls cheered Zhang Zhifan, but they never expected that things would change now!
"Awesome, goddess!"
"What did I see? Zhang Zhifan was rejected?! Damn it! Damn it!"
"Wen Liang, I love you forever! Zhang Zhifan, please crawl on me! Get off!"
"I laughed so hard. What are you talking about? You're just wishful thinking and you're going in both directions!"
The teachers who had been present were a little uncontrollable when they saw the situation at the scene. They stood up one after another to stabilize the order, but the students' reaction was far more exciting than they imagined.
This sentence stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the auditorium was filled with people and suddenly became extremely chaotic.
Zhang Zhifan watched Wen Liang turn away in confusion. He came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to grab her and ask her for explanation.
"A Liang, we agreed..."
As soon as he spoke, Wen Liang was already prepared. She twisted around and moved her arm. The rose in her hand hit his face completely and completely. This blow also seemed to hit his entire soul. Fly out.
The petals fell one after another, Wen Liang threw away the handle and walked backstage.
I believe that every student in the audience will remember this dramatic and tragic scene and his gentle and carefree movements.
Not only them, He Tianran, who had been watching the whole process, was also completely confused.
Facing Wen Liang walking towards her, she finally couldn't hold on to her cold attitude towards herself since arriving in the auditorium. She quickened her pace and jogged all the way, with a wanton smile on her face. She took the boy's hand and urged him: :
"Are you surprised? Come on, go on, go on, go on, the place is in chaos, the teacher is coming, don't get caught!"
As soon as He Tianran heard this, Wen Liang felt his body slump, and the boy simply picked her up and ran away with the guitar on his back and the girl on his chest!
