Chapter 1413 Born a Stranger (Part 2)

Sunlight came from the train window, and he couldn't help but look out the window. It was a street scene in a coastal city. The subway roared across the ground, the sun shone between the buildings, and the rows of green trees on the road swayed in the breeze. .

This is an excellent weather. The school committee of Shilan Middle School carefully selected this day on the calendar. No matter it was the temperature, smog index, or humidity of the air, everything was considered, but only What they forgot to consider was that on such a beautiful day, people would take to the streets in unison, so Lu Mingfei was unlucky enough to be stuck in a traffic jam, and had no choice but to run to the subway and take the nearest stop to the stadium.

It turns out that this is what Lu Mingze meant when he said it was going to get to the point.

Lu Mingfei suddenly understood, but if he was just late for the game, he shouldn't be so anxious and panicked. Although he felt sorry for his classmates, as a genius who had been missing for thousands of years, everyone shouldn't have any expectations for him. Or is he boasting about what Haikou promised?

He thought carefully, seriously, but forgot those details.

The train entered the station and the compartment door opened. Lu Mingfei wanted to get off the station, but people poured in. They kept pushing Lu Mingfei back. They kept pushing him back despite his loud shouting that I was going to be late. Pushed away, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't leave the car.

There was a voice in his heart telling him, why not forget it?

In the black tide, Lu Mingfei tried his best to squeeze out, reaching out to grab the air or sunlight, but in the end, what held him was a hand that pulled him out of the crowd. .

Lu Mingfei staggered two steps and looked at Chen Wenwen in front of him, a little stunned. Before he could say anything, the girl looked at him and breathed a sigh of relief and said, luckily you are here. Everyone thought you ran away. I said you promised me that you would do it. If you get a good result, you won't miss your appointment! Let's go, we can still catch up if we go now, the players are all warming up!

He was led by Chen Wenwen and ran out of the subway station. The peach trees and cherry blossoms on the road were in bloom. The weather was slightly cooler in March and April, and the sunshine gave people a sense of warmth. They came to the stadium hall without knowing it. In front of the gate, the green field is full of athletes warming up for competitions. High jump, standing long jump, and javelin throw are all in full swing.

Chen Wenwen brought Lu Mingfei to the starting line of the track. The familiar physical education teacher stood on the side with the starting gun and looked at them impatiently. Chen Wenwen stepped forward and apologized continuously. Lu Mingfei walked up in confusion. From his position on the starting line, he heard some people in the audience booing him, and some shouting, "Come on."

He turned around and saw Zhao Menghua taking the lead in the auditorium. Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao's group were heckling him. The squad leader and Liu Miaomiao were shouting "come on". Not far away, Lin Nian was lying on a chair with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep. Su Xiaoqiang was beside him. It was frustrating to keep wandering around him, but he still quietly gave a distant thumbs up in his direction.

The starting gun went off.

Lu Mingfei reacted and ran forward, using up all his strength. He thought that he had learned the third degree of violent blood and Junyan compression explosion and could run fast enough, but he was shocked to find that the people around him were faster than him. Quickly, it rushed out like a rocket, with undiminished momentum! Soon he was left behind by the group of people. The runway in front of him was unobstructed, and he was the only one left in front of him and behind him.

He ran round and round on the track. The student council on the podium kept reciting various words of encouragement to the athletes written with great effort by the literary and art committee members of each class. The athletes' march was played back and forth on the radio, and the audience The cheers and applause from the audience came one after another like ocean waves. His field of vision is broad. The green open-air grassland and the runway connect the blue sky. The clouds are like a wrinkled book. The wind blowing in front of him is also a brand-new letter, which is left in his mind to anchor him. The lingering beautiful memories of the past.

The burning sensation in his lungs came again, and the air was as thick as gel. The 5,000-meter long-distance running would kill Lu Mingfei at any time. The physical education teacher holding the starting gun stared at him like a prisoner. Every time he passed by, he would say, "One more lap, one more lap."

Running endlessly consumes my energy very quickly, and my legs feel as heavy as lead with every step I take. Lu Mingfei wanted to give up, but the voice in his heart spoke again, very low and timid. He advised Lu Mingfei: Just leave quietly. As long as you don't say anything, no one will know what you promised.

Lu Mingfei stubbornly ignored the voice and continued running. Soon, someone crossed the line. It seemed to be a senior in the third grade of high school. His legs were longer than Lu Mingfei's life, and his skin was a healthy wheat color. He ran After receiving the best result ever from Shilan Middle School, countless teachers and students gathered around to congratulate him. The second person to appear was actually Chen Wenwen. The 5,000-meter long-distance race was a mixed race for men and women. No one could have imagined that this girl had such potential. When the starting gun was fired, she jumped out like a rabbit and hid in the leeward belt until While sprinting, he won second place in one breath.

After finishing her race, she actually ignored her sweat and waited on the edge of the track for Lu Mingfei to come around in a circle. She followed him and encouraged him constantly to keep running the entire distance.

Lu Mingfei didn't even have the energy to talk to Chen Wenwen. He finally rushed to the finish line after working himself to death. He lay on the ground unable to move in front of the physical education teacher with a complicated expression. Chen Wenwen pulled him up and told him that it was better to walk slowly. He walked with the girl on the side of the track, feeling unusually peaceful and beautiful. The girl said it was amazing. Everyone said that you couldn't finish the whole course, but you actually persisted. This will definitely change everyone's opinion of you!

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, I don't care what everyone thinks of me, as long as you change your opinion of me, but he didn't say it out loud. He just quietly walked the whole circle of the track with the girl.

Chen Wenwen told Lu Mingfei that after the sports meeting, the school would organize a celebratory art performance, and she would also have a program at that time. She hoped that Lu Mingfei could take a few photos of her under the stage, and she would hang them on the memorial wall of the literature club.

Lu Mingfei agreed to her and watched her leave. The sports meet seemed to end the moment he finished the game. In the twilight, everyone left here busily, leaving him alone standing on the track. The twilight above his head was like fire, stretching his shadow very long on the ground.

He walked out of the gymnasium alone. In front of the gymnasium gate, under the setting sun, a black Mercedes-Benz was parked there. In front of the Maybach logo, Lu Mingze stood there in a suit and tie, dressed in black like a butler or driver. He opened the door of the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz for Lu Mingfei and let him sit in comfortably.

The Mercedes merged into the traffic, steady and calm. Lu Mingfei sat in the back seat and looked at the street outside the window. Those classmates who were laughing and talking were walking together on the roadside. The twins Xu Miaomiao exaggeratedly explained to other students that the senior brother who won the first place in the 5000-meter long-distance race was spotted by the provincial team in the audience and might join the provincial team and then march to the national team to win glory for the country. After that, he stepped on the ground and said that compared with the last person, who broke the slowest record without giving up midway, he was also a talent. He was halfway through his words when he was hit on the shoulder by Lin Nian who was walking behind him and fell directly to the ground. Su Xiaoqiang, who was following Lin Nian, was almost tripped by the fat boy lying on the ground. He turned around, raised his eyebrows and angrily scolded who was so immoral to plant potatoes on the street, which made a group of people laugh and change the topic.

"Brother, are you happy at the sports meeting?" Lu Mingze, who was in the driver's seat, asked while holding the steering wheel with white gloves.

"Yeah." Lu Mingfei answered softly, looking for someone in the scenes on the street, but unfortunately he didn't find anything. If he found someone, he would ask Lu Mingze to stop the car and pick her up to go to school together. In that case, today should be perfect, right?

The Mercedes-Benz drove all the way to the gate of Shilan Middle School. It was already night. Lu Mingze opened the car door for Lu Mingfei. When Lu Mingfei walked out, he was already wearing a black suit, solemn and serious as if he was going to attend a summit, not an ordinary middle school art evening.

Lu Mingze opened an umbrella, but it was not raining that day. Facing Lu Mingfei's puzzled eyes, he explained that it was better to be prepared.

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything. Accompanied by Lu Mingze, he came to the school playground. There were already crowds of people here. Everyone brought chairs and sat in rows on the lawn to watch various performances on the stage.

Lu Mingfei was not interested in those plays and singing. He stood on the track beside the lawn and waited quietly. He waited for Liu Miaomiao's piano program, Chu Zihang's cello solo, Su Xiaoqiang's dance, and Lin Nian's kendo performance. Finally, the girl in the white dress walked onto the stage surrounded by lights.

The announcer said passionately that the next performance would be Chen Wenwen from Class 2 (1) of Senior High School. But before the performance began, rain suddenly fell from the sky. It came so fast and so fast that everyone screamed and covered their hair and ran to the teaching building. Some students cleverly turned upside down and used chairs as umbrellas to trot away. The crowd on the lawn turned into birds and beasts and dispersed. In the end, only Lu Mingfei was left standing in the middle of the playground.

The rain fell on the umbrella that Lu Mingze had prepared in advance and flowed down from both sides. Lu Mingfei looked at the stage full of light. The accumulated water was glowing. In the hazy world, the soft chanting sound came from the stage.

[She read:

I was a boy, in days like clouds,

Delicate things, still visible in the dimness and reflection,

Strangely, when I look for that memory, it is so painful in my body today.

It is painful to lose happiness,

Like a gentle light shining in the slow night;

That was me, that is still me, and my shadow at that time was stupid.

Not enjoyment nor sadness;

I am just a child imprisoned between changeable walls;

Stories are like bodies, glass is like the sky,

Then there is a dream, a dream higher than life.

When the god of death wants to take a truth from my hands,

He will find them empty.

Like the burning desire of youth, spreading to the sky. 】
