Zimo of Our Boyhood

"Deng~dengdengdeng~deng" Who will call me at this time?I put down the tennis racket in my hand, wiped the sweat that was about to drip on my face with the towel hanging around my neck, and then took out the phone from the tennis bag, Ban Xiaosong? ?What's wrong with calling me?

"Zi Mo!" Ban Xiaosong's familiar voice came from the other side of the phone

"Yo~ Xiaosong, did you miss me~~ Or what's wrong with you?"

"Yes, alas, no!"

"Uh...Ban Xiaosong, can you speak more fluently? Could there be a generation gap between us these days~" I teased.

"It's not me, it's Wu Tong!"

"..." Is it too late to hang up the phone now? I don't want to hear anything about Wu Tong at all right now, hum!I have been in the United States for so long without a phone call or an email, why should I care about him! !

Maybe it’s because I’ve been silent for so long, Ban Xiaosong hastily explained, “I didn’t want to call you at first, you see you are so busy competing abroad, besides, Wu Tong’s matter has nothing to do with you, but Yin Ke said It's best to call and talk to you about this." Yin Ke?not……

"Ban Xiaosong, tell me what you have to say."

"Wu Tong found out that his mother didn't divorce his father, but died of illness, and now Wu Tong shuts himself up at home alone, refusing to eat or drink, and ignores everyone."

"...Is there anything else?"

"Gone."

"Then I'm going to train, that's it, hang up first."

"Well, let me just say it, it's useless to talk to Zimo about it..."

Damn it, Wu Tong cares so much about his mother, and now... I thought about it and decided to take out my cell phone and dialed Xiao Liu's number.

"Xiao Liu, how much free time do I have before the next game?"

"There's a game tomorrow morning."

"Well, help me book the fastest flight. I have something to go back to my country. When I come back, you can make an appointment at the latest."

"Will it be too much to go back and forth like this, and the game the day after tomorrow will be the first game of the finals, as long as..."

"It's okay, I have a measure."

"Well, okay, then young master, clean up, I'll go pick you up." Hang up the phone, look at the exquisite necklace hanging around the neck, lift the cover, revealing a photo with Wu Tong inside, gently touch the necklace with your fingers Rubbing, alas, I don't know if it is right to return to China this time.

Looking at all kinds of food and homework placed in front of Wu Tong's house, alas, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Wu Tong, I'm Zimo, come out and open the door for me!" I shouted at the top of my voice, "I didn't bring anything with me when I went back to China, and I can't go home, so let me come in and accompany you!" This is not a lie. I came back in a hurry this time, and the time I can stay is too short, and there is no need to bring it. Maybe it is also because I think that Wu Tong treats me differently in the bottom of my heart. Bar.

"Wu Tong, auntie is gone, you still have us, and your father!" No matter what I said, Wu Tong in the house was still there motionless, "Wu Tong, if you don't eat or drink, I'm with you too." I will stay with you without eating or drinking at the door, and I will stay here and not leave."

After I finished speaking, I sat on the steps of the door, "Follow my left hand and right hand in slow motion, and the left hand and right hand will replay in slow motion..." "I refuse to fate, annihilate in the darkness, and dissolve the barrenness..." I am in a good mood with my eyes open, I wake up and take a shower and choose a casual jacket..." I sang songs that Wu Tong likes very much one by one, and I also like to use these songs to tell Wu Tong that I am still here, and I will accompany you He... I don't know how long he sang, his voice became hoarse, and his consciousness began to blur. He couldn't resist Zhou Gong's call and fell asleep. Yes, he rushed to catch the plane after receiving a call all morning after training. Staying here, indeed the body began to protest.

But at this time, I who was sleeping did not know that Wu Tong, who was lying motionless on the floor, got up and came to the door when he realized that the singing gradually weakened and finally disappeared. He stood in front of the door, took a deep look at himself, and then Slowly move the body and lie back on the spot, as if the actions just now were an illusion.That night was still very long, and Cicada's cry was exceptionally clear...

"Zimo, why are you sleeping here?" I felt my body shaking, opened my eyes, and saw the voices of Teacher Tao and Director An after the glare of the sun.

"Teacher Tao, Director An, you guys also came to see Wu Tong." When he spoke, besides feeling a hoarse throat, it was also accompanied by bursts of tingling pain. Sure enough, he used his throat too much last night.

"Yeah, but shouldn't you be playing in America now, kid?"

"Well, I just have a bye today, so I heard Xiaosong talk about Wu Tong, so I came over to have a look."

"Zimo, are you staying here all night?" Director An asked worriedly

"No, I'm on the plane in the morning. I just squinted at the door when I was sleepy."

"I put the food in there, you can eat some later if you are hungry, alas, looking at Wu Tong's appearance, he probably won't eat it."

"You should pay attention to rest, don't be tired."

Looking at the worried eyes of Teacher Tao and Director An, "What's the matter with me, you go back first, I'll watch over here."

"Well, then we'll go back first."

Saying goodbye to Teacher Tao and Director An, and sat back in front of the door again, and started to sing, but because of a sore throat, the voice was much softer, and I didn’t know whether to sing to Wu Tong who was in the house or to tell myself Don't give up yourself, heh, who knows.

Take a break when you are tired from singing, and continue singing when your voice is better. I don’t know when the sun is high, and I don’t know when it starts to fall quietly. I don’t know that a father who cares about his son is sitting at the door. Come and go quietly.

"Oh? Zimo! Why are you here?"

"Zi Mo" Yin Ke nodded to say hello

"Xiaosong, Yin Ke~ Didn't you call me, and came over to watch when there was no match?" I raised a smile, greeted Ban Xiaosong and Yin Ke, and took the exhaustion and sadness that I had revealed into my heart.

"I didn't expect you to come at all. Yin Ke really hit the mark." As soon as Ban Xiaosong finished speaking, I looked at Yin Ke and saw Yin Ke showing me a hesitant and somewhat sad expression. Seeing it, I returned a bitter smile, really not knowing what to say.

"We came to deliver notes to Wu Tong, and Yin Ke and I bought a pot of plants for Wu Tong." After speaking, Ban Xiaosong walked to the door and shouted inside, "Wu Tong, we are here to see you. I bought you a pot of plants, please open the door!" The reply to Ban Xiaosong was infinite silence, alas, Ban Xiaosong put the plants and homework in front of the door, "Wu Tong, I put the plants at the door, do you remember Come and get it, or it will die of thirst and die." Still remained silent.The three of us looked at each other with bitter faces, "Go home first, otherwise the family will be worried."

"Zimo, you should go home early and rest."

"Think about it." Yin Ke's words made Ban Xiaosong a little puzzled, but I understood it in seconds, but at this moment, I wish I was ignorant, how to see it away! !

"I see, you go back." Watching Xiaosong and Yin Ke leave, the phone remembered.

"Hey?"

"Master, it's almost time to board the plane."

"Well, I see, you can pick me up in 10 minutes." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, 10 minutes, let's see, if it doesn't work, he gives up.

"Wu Tong!! So many people care about you, Teacher Tao, Director An, Ban Xiaosong and Yin Ke, can you stop being so selfish! You close yourself like this, is Auntie happy to see you like this? Think about Auntie, think about you Father, isn't he sad? Have you considered his feelings?" I reached out and grabbed the necklace on my chest, "Then can you at least consider my feelings? I am also very worried about you. I was inexplicable before. In the Cold War, I went to the United States and you ignored me. If Komatsu hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t even know what happened to you. Have you ever thought about my feelings? Even a little bit.”

Unknowingly, the voice of speaking brought up crying, I didn't want to, but the tears were kept by myself, take them back quickly, even the tears are against me.

"You said that we will always be together and be with each other. Now you don't want me? Who are you trying to torture yourself like this!! Who are you worthy of doing this! I won't play anymore! I’m tired! Can’t I quit? I shouldn’t be returning to China this time, no, no, no, I should have stayed in the United States from the very beginning, Wu Tong! Let me tell you, it’s not you who don’t want me anymore, it’s me who doesn’t want you now This time, when I return to America, I will never come back again!"

I reached out my hand to wipe away the tears on my face, looked at the necklace in my hand, and the photo of the two cuddling each other. I was silent for a moment, and finally made up my mind to tear it off, "Wu Tong, this I don't want the necklace, you and me! Goodbye!" After saying that, he threw the necklace in his hand towards the door, "Kang-bang!" The necklace hit the door and slid down and fell heavily on the ground, making a crisp sound. At this time, it sounded extremely harsh.

"Beep beep——" I embarked on the journey back to the United States.I really hope that this short trip back to China is a dream, but the empty chest reminds me all the time—it’s time to wake up.

I don't know when I got in the car, Yin Ke and Ban Xiaosong came out from the bushes next to them. They wanted to come back and put down their homework books. They didn't expect to hear such a paragraph. , maybe it was only Ban Xiaosong who didn't expect it.After thinking about it for a while, the two decided to pick up the necklace that Zimo left in front of the door first, because it was too precious after all.

Yin Ke and Ban Xiaosong, who had left, didn't know what happened after they left.Wu Tong moved, not slow and heavy, but rushed towards the door with a slightly hasty pace, but the person at the door was already gone, Wu Tong searched on the ground, but found nothing, and finally put the pot at the door in frustration. The plant was brought into the house, and continued to lie on the sofa, holding the Walkman with one hand, and the necklace on the chest with the other, motionless.

And then Tao Xi saw Wu Tong watering the plants, and successfully entered the door to wake up Wu Tong is another story.

Some people say that happiness is the same, but there are thousands of kinds of sadness. At this time, they are a true portrayal of this, and they stay in different places with different sadness.

The result of excessive use of my body was the next day's game. I wore a mask on the field, coughing uncontrollably, and slowly walked into the field of competition, habitually wanting to hold the necklace on my chest to cheer myself up , but hold empty, heh!How did I forget. "The game begins." I am used to keeping the score at 6:4/6:5, but I have to make a quick decision at this time, because my physical strength and physical condition can't support me to play for too long. Just go all out, I hope there will be no mistakes this time.Sure enough, those who can enter the final are not so fuel-efficient. The score has already reached 6:6.After finishing speaking, he threw away the small green ball in his hand, raised the racket and hit it hard, "Touch!"

"Beep——7:6 Congratulations to Su Zimo who came to China for winning!" It was people's loud calls, but my body fell forward uncontrollably, fell to the ground, and my consciousness was not clear.

"Yin Ke, Yin Ke, it was reported that Zi Mo seemed to be unwell during the final, and passed out on the court after the match."

"Isn't this time the day after we met Zimo at Wu Tong's gate?"

"Yeah, I'm obviously in a rush for the game, but I rushed back as soon as I heard that someone was busy. Sigh, I don't know what's going on now."

"Oh, forget it, so-and-so's affairs should be resolved by himself, and it's not easy for us outsiders to intervene."

"Touch!" Wu Tong, who was listening to the conversation between Ban Xiaosong and Yin Ke, slapped the table hard, then stood up and walked out of the classroom.

"Yeah!" Ban Xiaosong and Yin Ke clapped their hands together.

Ever since Wu Tong cheered up and returned to school, Ban Xiaosong and Yin Ke chatted about Zimo next to Wu Tong from time to time, but every time Wu Tong had a fit and then left after hearing it, the autobiography of the earth did not come back because No one will stop, and the class seems to be gradually getting used to the days without Zimo, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that the accumulated thoughts are waiting for a certain day to explode.
