Chapter 592 Far Dream (Probably Two in One)

It should have been one morning. School always starts in the morning. Lu Mingfei was riding his bicycle to Shilan Middle School. He passed by a black Passat, and the tires rolled up the locust flowers and flew onto his shoulder. He saw the white shoulder figure from the car window that was getting farther and farther away. By coincidence, the other person seemed to be looking back at him in the car. Their eyes were touching and separated, and they passed each other.

Ten minutes later when they met again, he rushed to the school. Among the bustling crowd, he looked up at the two crooked cherry blossom trees in the corner of Shilan Middle School. He looked around and couldn't find the shadow he wanted to see, so he thought in his heart He silently made a wish to the unknown master, but within a few seconds he gave up on his stupid move and sped up to rush to the new class. When he walked in from the door and looked up at the first glance, he found that his A wish comes true, like a divine revelation.

People are impression creatures, and the brain has a specific image for each specific person, which may be a smell, a scene, or a color. Then to Lu Mingfei, this girl must be white, with the fragrance of locust flowers on her skirt, sitting by the window where the sun shines on her skirt, holding a copy of "The Lover" by Marguerite Duras.

They wrote vigorously on the blackboard that youth fades away easily and looks grow old easily. Don’t waste your time, dance and sing.

But it was too late, too late. In that life, it came too early and too hastily. At the age of eighteen, it was already too late.

"Lu Mingfei?" Chen Wenwen called him back from his trance.

There was a faint sound of singing in his ears. It was not the BGM that played automatically in the background. If possible, Lu Mingfei really wanted to listen to "Love Transfer". If it was too fierce, he would play "End of the World". At least it would make him feel better. He had that heartbreaking realization, but unfortunately, the song that was ringing in his ears now was "Li Song" by the Shin Band.

In the private movie room dozens of meters away from the bathroom corridor, someone was singing the song that was once popular in the streets and alleys, singing: You said that love is just a dream, and I can only return the happiness I borrowed from you. Then it reached the climax. It was just a burst of ghostly crying and wolf howling. The girls could barely reach their voices, and the boys roared heart-breakingly. They sang: You are the loneliest if you want to stay but if you can’t. Before the second half of the lyrics could be sung, he suddenly started laughing because of his broken voice. The laughter and laughter floated here.

It's a bit unpleasant. The first one to break the sound should be Xu Yanyan, right? But at least the singing was quite appropriate. What's the next lyric?

Oh, Lu Mingfei remembered, as if they hugged each other in silence a second before their hearts broke?

There was silence in front of the bathroom, drifting in the air, together with the sound of water, and the indescribable emotions. He seemed a little tired leaning on the water table, letting the cold water wet the trousers on his back and flowed down his calf to his socks. Inside, the water wrapped around him like an icy snake.

"Do you understand?" He put his hands on the water table to prevent himself from looking so defeated, and tried to stand up as much as possible. After all, this was the first time in his eighteen years of life that he was so weak. He was a little at a loss. He hadn't even begun to confess. Being hijacked is so fucking tragic.

"Um."

"When did this happen?"

"Very early."

Very early? How early was it, when they passed each other for the first time on the street beside the locust tree? It was still when he was lying on the desk when he entered school and secretly looked at the girl who stood up to introduce herself.

Lu Mingfei actually wanted to ask Chen Wenwen when he knew that he had prepared today's confession, but the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, but this answer was satisfactory.

"Actually, you've always known that, right?"

"what do you know?"

"I know those things about you."

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little tired. What about himself? Could you please explain some things clearly? But he knew that the girl in front of him had always been like this. She didn't like to speak thoroughly, as if it was related to a dispensable veil, separated by a layer of white mist. He was talking as if this would save some face for the people inside and outside the fog.

"Why are you telling me now?" He leaned forward slightly and left the pool, because if he leaned further down, not only would his socks be wet, but even his underwear would be submerged.

He stood in a pool of water with the rose submerged in it. The water beside the flower reflected the girl looking at his face. She moved her lips slightly and said, "Lu Mingfei, in fact, there are many people besides me who are worthy." You go and like it this way.”

Ah, is this a good guy card? Lu Mingfei stayed for a while, scratched his hair, lowered his head, and said nothing for a long time. If this was a formal confession, the girl's words alone would be a death sentence, right? I just changed the form and issued a good person card, and declined politely to suit Chen Wenwen's style.

Bad things are not very good, and annoying things are not liked that much. You are a good person because there are many people besides me who are worthy of your liking.

He was speechless for half a minute. The air was as heavy as a jar under high pressure, making people want to break the walls or open the mouth of the jar to escape. If you don't say something, then today's story will probably end here. The girl will walk away, and he will have no reason to keep her. The story will end like this, labeled END.

The 99 roses in the paper bag were drowned in the stagnant water together with the full emotion, sinking, sinking, sinking to a place where no one can find them, and rotting in the mud.

Chen Wenwen looked at Lu Mingfei who had his head lowered and was silent for a whole minute. Maybe this is also torture for this girl, right? She suffered for a minute and finally took a step back and said, "The movie is about to start, are you still coming?"

Lu Mingfei did not answer, and remained quiet for dozens of seconds. It was not until Chen Wenwen turned around that he spoke. It was like a high-pressure urn leaking a gap, and white mist and full emotions rushed out from inside. He came out and sang a high-pitched but dull self-narration amidst the whine.

"Actually, Lin Nian told me about this before."

Chen Wenwen stopped and looked at the boy behind her. He still lowered his head so that his face could not be seen clearly.

"He said there was no need for me to hang from a tree."

"Yeah." She nodded slightly.

"Actually, people often tell me not to hang myself on a tree, because there is a whole forest ahead." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice, "Everyone is saying that it is impossible for people who loved me in high school and junior high school to leave. I forget exactly what it said in the end, but it probably means the same thing.”

"'A Tree and a Forest' was written by the Greek writer Albero." Chen Wenwen whispered, "Don't give up the entire forest for a tree."

"Well, you know better." Lu Mingfei smiled bitterly in a low voice, "Lin Nian told me about this more than once. He said that there are 20,000 people in the world who will fall in love with you at first sight. Falling in love at first sight with you 20,000 times may not necessarily mean that you will fall in love with you at first sight." The one you meet now is the best among them, and the better one will always be next.”

"It's like this, it's always been like this," she said.

"I don't think so." Lu Mingfei raised his head slightly and looked at Chen Wenwen, "Do you still remember the two crooked-neck trees in our school?"

"Remember."

"It's ugly, isn't it? There is only one tree left now," he said.

Chen Wenwen didn't know what the boy wanted to say, but she couldn't leave as long as he was talking. If a person thinks that his words have no weight, then he will never speak seriously, but if a person thinks that every word of his is very important, Important, then she has to listen to what he says. If he speaks seriously, she listens carefully.

"Tell me, what would happen if a person had never seen a tree in his life and the first tree he saw was the crooked-neck tree?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Chen Wenwen didn't know how to answer this question, so she didn't speak.

Lu Mingfei said, "Actually, I think each of us has a learning process. We didn't know what a tree looked like from the beginning. It wasn't until we met the first tree we liked for the first time that we understood The specific impression tells me that the tree originally looked like this.”

"Just like the first time I saw a tree, it was the Crooked Neck tree. When I looked at every other tree in the future, I couldn't help but compare them with the Crooked Neck tree. I felt that none of them were as good as the Crooked Neck tree. It was the crooked-necked tree that taught me what trees are.”

"."

"What I said may be a bit convoluted." Lu Mingfei took a slight breath, "I just want to say that Lin Nian said in a book called "Shanghai Fortress": There are 20,000 people in the world who will fall in love with you at first sight. But I think actually you know what 'love at first sight' is, after all, it's the first person who teaches you."

"Every time Lin Nian told me that there was someone else worthy of my liking, I ignored him, because no matter who I looked at, I always seemed to be looking at the same person, because it was that tree that taught me what liking is. Before the so-called forest mentioned earlier, my concept of trees was all taught to me by the first tree you met."

"Lu Mingfei."

"So every tree that looked different from now on was her shadow. The way she looked, she lowered her head and pretended not to see when she walked into the forest. After walking around, she would still come back to the crooked-neck tree outside the forest and take the A rope, hang yourself on it. After all, she taught me what it means to like." He said, "She taught me what love at first sight is, she taught me what a tree is, and it doesn't matter if there is a forest in front of me. ? When I walked in, everyone looked like her, so why didn’t I hang myself on that crooked-necked tree willingly?”

"Lu Mingfei." Chen Wenwen said.

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, looked up at the girl with her head hanging down, and realized that her emotions were a little skewed. She lowered her head and whispered, "Well, you tell me."

"I'm sorry." She said, "I actually have someone I like."

He was stunned for a long time, and the emotions he had accumulated suddenly collapsed. He raised his hand to comb his hair, but after moving his fingers, he gave up this too strenuous action. After being depressed for a long time, he grinned and said with a bitter smile, "You I told you earlier."

"I'm sorry." Chen Wenwen said.

"." Lu Mingfei opened his mouth and finally sighed softly, "I'm sorry for what. It's me who should be sorry. When we misunderstood you, you said you didn't like me that much, but I could tell that you liked me a little bit. Yes. I'm being overly sentimental. But I'm still curious, is it because I'm not good enough that I was rejected?"

"I won't change my attitude because of what you become. This is true love." Chen Wenwen said.

Lu Mingfei was speechless, and suddenly burst into laughter, somewhat self-deprecating.

At this time, footsteps suddenly came outside the corridor. It was Xu Miaomiao, one of the twins, who rolled like a ball to the bathroom. He looked at Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen standing opposite each other and was stunned for a moment. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "What are you doing here? Woolen cloth?"

"Nothing to do, just chatting." Lu Mingfei blocked the paper pocket on the side of his leg and said, "What's wrong?"

Xu Miaomiao was stunned for a few seconds and glanced at Lu Mingfei, then looked down at his trouser legs and raised an eyebrow, "Have you peed your pants?"

Lu Mingfei was also stunned for a moment, and glanced at his wet trousers and didn't know how to explain it. However, Xu Miaomiao didn't seem to be prepared to make fun of this, but immediately came forward and urged, "Okay, okay, movie It's about to start, Zhao Menghua asked me to urge you to hurry over! Lu Mingfei, aren't you going to go on stage to give a speech? No, your speech."

He handed over an A4 paper filled with speeches, but when he got halfway through it, Chen Wenwen suddenly caught it.

"I will give the speech." Chen Wenwen took the speech and said softly.

"Ah? This is all arranged. Leader, it is Lu Mingfei's job to give the speech." Xu Miaomiao smiled and watched Chen Wenwen try to withdraw the speech, and fiercely threw a tantrum at Lu Mingfei, which made Lu Mingfei a little bit Stunned.

"It's okay, tell Zhao Menghua that I will give a speech today." Chen Wenwen said.

"No. It's really not the case. Leader Chen, you have other things to do today. Just let Lu Mingfei do the small things like the speech." Xu Miaomiao took a few steps forward to get the speech, looking a little panicked.

"It's okay, it's just a speech. There's nothing wrong with me." Lu Mingfei also reached out and pinched the corner of the A4 paper, but it didn't twitch. He looked up and saw Chen Wenwen's lowered gaze. He suddenly seemed to understand something. paused.

"I said I'll do it. I'm the president of the literary club, and this job should be mine." Chen Wenwen finished her speech and turned around to leave the bathroom.

"Hey, wait, it's about the speech." Xu Miaomiao glanced at Lu Mingfei and then at Chen Wenwen. Although her face was strange, she still rolled out like a hurry. The footsteps in the corridor got farther and farther.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the sink for a long time. He turned around and turned off the faucet that should have been turned off long ago. The cold water overflowing from it finally stopped. He grabbed the paper bag and was about to leave. Suddenly he saw water from the corner of his eye. There was a wilted rose in the pool. After standing for a few seconds, he turned around, lowered his head, picked it up, put it into the bag and left the bathroom.

The corridor was not long, and it was enough for him to collect his emotions. His trousers and socks were still wet, but no one could see his embarrassment clearly in such a dark environment as the cinema, right?

He returned to the cinema. The cinema was pitch black and there was nothing. Everything was quiet. It was not dead silence. There was a rustling sound, like hearing the sound of cotton wool squeezing in the pillow while sleeping. It was a restless sound. There was a slight twisting sound on the seats, as if everyone was looking forward to something, hiding in the darkness and looking forward to it.

With a click, strong light suddenly illuminated the entire stage. White light shot through Lu Mingfei's head at the end of the auditorium and shone on the white screen. Everyone subconsciously squinted their eyes to adapt to the strong light, including Lu Mingfei, After the light dimmed a little, a low voice came from the theater.

A name and two English words were projected on the cinema screen.

Chen Wenwen, i Love You

A huge English alphabet sign stood on the stage. The round figures of the twin brothers Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao were creatively transformed into two letters "o". As for the lowercase 'i', perhaps he should have been replaced by someone else. But now the girl in a cotton white dress raised her hand to gently block the glare.

She was holding the speech that should have belonged to Lu Mingfei in her hand, and her cheeks were illuminated like apples buried under the snow.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a while, not knowing what expression to put on, but no one could see what he looked like in the shadows under the light.

In the audience, Zhao Menghua held a large handful of crimson roses and jumped onto the stage surrounded by several good brothers. He seemed a little surprised when he looked at Chen Wenwen on the stage, but this did not hinder his plan. It was even unexpected. Even better, he said something noisily, but Lu Mingfei didn't listen carefully. He looked at the girl, but suddenly found that the girl was also looking at him in the dark, no one noticed.

Suddenly, the music exploded, and the climax of the movie, the scene where Eve and Wall-E broke the sound barrier and jumped through the sky, was played on the screen on time. If the time card is correct, Lu Mingfei should be standing on the stage holding flowers and finishing his confession, but now he is standing where no one can find him like a passerby, holding a bag of cold water. Rose.

In the boundary between darkness and light, Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen looked at each other from a distance, and then the girl nodded to him gently, as if she was telling him the answer to many things.

—

This tree has been planted for 18 years by Lu Mingfei. The annual rings go round and round, but it has never bloomed or produced any fruit. The people under the tree have been sitting in a trance for 18 years.

Perhaps her nod was regarded as an answer to the passionate confession. The theater was boiling. Zhao Menghua went to hug Chen Wenwen. The girl hugged back. When she looked back into the darkness, the boy standing there had disappeared.

He walked out of the cinema slowly, then quickened his pace, and finally ran until he stopped in front of the door at the end of the corridor. He put his hand on the door and heard the howling wind behind the door before he pushed it open. It was simply a strong wind. It was roaring and roaring, as close to the end of the world as he felt.

For the first time in his eighteen years of life, he pushed open the door, and the sound of wind poured in from the outside.

The wind roared.

The entire cinema was startled, and roars lingered in the sky above the private cinema. It was like a monster shouting its anger, as if a hole had been opened in the cinema, and a huge amount of noise and sea water seemed to pour in, shocking people. The eardrums vibrate wildly. Everyone rushed out of the theater and ran into the corridor. They immediately saw the door that was pushed open at the end of the corridor. Beside the door, leaning on a paper bag filled with ninety-nine roses, stuck out his head. The roses covered with cold water were trembling gently in the wind.

Everyone rushed out shouting and talking, trying to figure out what was going on. Chen Wenwen, who noticed the paper bag in the crowd at a glance, seemed to have a premonition and gently pulled Zhao Menghua's sleeve. The boy stopped and looked at her to comfort her. Nothing would happen. He took her and everyone to the door and pushed the door open completely.

The sound of wind, voices, and whistling were swept up into the sky by the rose petals in the paper bags that fell on the ground.

The blazing white light, which was several times the size of the studio's spotlight, fell from the sky. Everyone raised their hands to block the light amid the noise, and tried their best to look up into the sky. They only saw a giant bird circling and falling, with a sense of fate. The sense of solemnity makes people hold their breath and dare not speak lightly.

In the distance, a pair of men and women in black trench coats, familiar to everyone, stood leaning in front of the stone pier and looking at the people in front of the movie hall. However, the eyes of the two people did not fall on anyone at the door of the movie hall; Looking at the boy who opened the cinema door and walked alone. The helicopter's light hit the boy who was running away from the theater, and everyone saw clearly who it was. They were a little in disbelief but couldn't say anything.

The huge helicopter fell and came to a stop behind Lin Nian in front of the clearing. The propellers wheezed in the strong wind. He did not look back. He raised his hand and opened the hatch behind him. He looked at Lu Mingfei who was walking in front of him and asked, " Have you thought about it? Professor Guderian can't wait, this helicopter will take you directly to see him, and then there will be no turning back for you."

His answer was a silent nod, and he took a slight breath, as if he couldn't hold back under this extremely exciting scene.

"If you can't hold it back, you have to hold it back for me. This is your own choice. You will be happy to win, and you will be happy to lose. You have heard this sentence." Lin Nian said.

He helped Lu Mingfei board the helicopter, then reached out and took the hand of the girl below to guide her up. He glanced at the movie theater with white lights in the distance and whispered, "You have had such a dream before, then... Just finish it like a dream."

The helicopter roared into the sky and soared up in the strong wind. The boy on the seat looked down at the gradually disappearing figure on the ground with his hands on his knees and his waist straight. He remembered that dream. In the dream, the boy stepped onto the helicopter and never looked back. He was ready to blend into the adult world with great vigor, where he would fight alone and become more indestructible than anyone else.
