love letter to summer

When we returned to the hall, there was already a crowd of people inside.

There is a band standing on a small stage, the lead singer is a lady, about 40 years old, the guitarist is a handsome uncle, the bassist and the keyboard player are a little older, but they are also full of energy and have the ability to play instruments Looks good.

There are more than a dozen chairs under the stage, most of which are already occupied, and many patients have their own seats - wheelchairs.

If volunteers, directors and others are added, there are about 40 people, which is quite lively.

Ye Ji and the others came late. The band had finished singing a song and was interacting with the audience. The team leader found a good place to "park" the wheelchair.

After stopping, the group leader squatted down next to the old lady and asked, "Wenwen, can I see the performance from this position?"

The old woman didn't respond.

The team leader didn't show any impatient expression, pointed at the stage with his finger, then slowed down his speech, raised his voice, and said word by word: "Wenwen, look, see, see, stage, up, face, are you? "

The old lady hesitated for four seconds, then nodded slowly.

"Well, that's good." The team leader smiled softly. He touched the old woman's shoulder, stood up, and said to Ye Ji, "Go and rest for a while, I'll watch here."

"Hey, Aji! Ah, Brother Ming, how are you!"

When Ye Ji turned his head, Xia Tang leaned over and put his hand on his shoulder.

The group leader smiled and nodded at Xia Tang: "Xia Tang, long time no see."

The two chatted for a while, and the group leader asked them to find a place to sit. They didn't need to help here, so Xia Tang took Ye Ji to the back of the auditorium and found two vacant chairs to sit down.

The band is singing a song called "Wind and Rain Together", which Ye Ji has never heard before. The tune is a typical old 80s song. Although it is old-fashioned, it is quite nice.

Ye Ji sat in the back row, listening to the song while looking at the audience in front.

At a glance, all of them have gray hair, only two or three people have black hair.

The average age of the patients is indeed very old, and most of them are in wheelchairs. Some of them are in a fair state of mind, while others, like "Wenwen", are slow to respond. They just sit like this, as if they have lost their response to external stimuli.

Sitting in front of Ye Ji was a man and a woman, probably in their 40s. The man's body was like a soft puppet sitting in a high-back reclining wheelchair, with his head lying weakly on the back of the wheelchair. urine bag.

The woman looks thin and small, sitting on a chair next to the man, and the two look like a couple.

The voice of the lead singer is gentle and gentle, singing soothing tunes full of warmth, and slowly expressing the firmness of going the same way through wind and rain.

"Today let's go on a blind date

I don't know that he is inseparable from each other

In the blink of an eye, kindness and righteousness will disappear”

"Do you like this song?" The woman in front suddenly turned her head and asked the man.

The man nodded slowly and slightly.

The woman listened for a while and said, "I didn't sing as well as you did before."

The corners of the man's mouth squirmed slowly, and gradually turned up, as if he was smiling. Then he opened his mouth, word by word, and said slowly, "Now....sing...don't...move...."

The woman stopped talking and looked at the stage quietly.

After finishing singing "Wind and Rain", the female lead singer thanked her with a smile, and said, "Now, we invite our handsome male lead singer and guitarist to bring you a classic English song "Can't Help Falling In Love"!"

The handsome uncle shook his head, plucked the string with his thumb, and played a single note.

A deep and thick baritone sounded, and slowly spread out accompanied by the sound of the guitar.

"Wisemensay, onlyfoolsrushin"

But I can't help, falling in love with you (but I can't help falling in love with you)

Shall Istay, would it beasin (if this is a crime, should I stop here?)..."

The slow rhythm is like a lullaby, gently and slowly dispersing into the air.

"Take my hand, take my whole life too (take my hand, take my whole life too)

For I can' help, falling in love with you (Because I can't help falling in love with you)"

Every note seems to have life.

The warm sunlight comes in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, like tiny feathers one after another, or countless dandelions swirling in the breeze.

The couple in front leaned together, the woman turned her head, and her husband happened to be looking at her. The sound comes out with the music.

She said, "You still sing well."

The husband smiled slightly.

The sun touched their shoulders gently, and the whole world became so gentle at this moment.

Ye Ji couldn't help turning his head to look at Xia Tang.

Xia Tang looked at the stage intently, the sunlight wrapped him softly, his eyelashes were thick and slender, fluttering up and down with his blinking movements, the sunlight was like water, lingering on his eyelashes, and then slowly sliding down, sliding over his delicate eyelashes. His skin slid across the bridge of his nose and the corners of his mouth.

His silhouette is as beautiful as a painting.

Ye Ji looked at him fascinated, and didn't even want to blink.

"For I can' help, falling in love with you (because I fell in love with you, I can't help it)"

Xia Tang turned her head.

Ye Ji's gaze met his.

His black and white eyes are like black stones soaked in stream water.

Just a slight eye contact already made people's heart flutter, as if a hot current flowed into the heart and wrapped it around the heart.

Ye Ji couldn't help holding his breath.

Falling in love with you, I can't help it, please take my hand, please take my whole life.

These words floated in Ye Ji's heart over and over again.

Xia Tang looked at him for a while, then reached out and gently held his hand.

Xia Tang's hand was a little cold, Ye Ji immediately instinctively took his hand into his own, and his thumb rubbed the back of his hand.

"Why are your hands so cold?"

"I just washed my hands." Xia Tang showed a helpless expression, "Now I have to wash my hands more than 20 times a day, and the skin is almost washed off."

Ye Ji found that the skin on his hands was indeed much drier than before, especially the fingertips.

Ye Ji squeezed his fingers a little distressed, and asked, "No hand cream?"

Xia Tang: "Using that kind of thing is too motherly..."

Just as Ye Ji was about to start preaching, Xia Tang immediately interrupted him: "I know you want to persuade me not to care about such silly things as masculine or not. My hands belong to me, and men are not masculine when they use hand cream. Million words."

He looked into Ye Ji's eyes seriously, and said, "I'm already an adult, don't worry about everything, African compatriots have been independent for so many years, can't I be a little free?"

Ye Ji was quiet for a second, and said: "One winter was very dry, and my skin became very dry, with peeling fingers and dry lines, but I ignored it. Later, when I played in the final of the inter-school tennis match, I The skin of my finger suddenly cracked and bleeds, even with a band-aid, the finger still hurts, and I couldn’t control the racket accurately, and finally, I lost.”

He summed up his statement: "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest." What's more, Xia Tang works in a hospital, and the injury on his hand not only affects the work efficiency, but may become a life-threatening at any time.

Ye Ji didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Xia Tang understood.

Xia Tang choked for a long time and couldn't speak, and finally whispered: "Well, at least you beat me, I just use hand cream."

Ye Ji smiled with satisfaction.

The last note fell, and "Can't Help Falling In Love" was sung.The female lead singer held the microphone and said in a sweet voice: "Good times always go by so fast. Now, we are going to sing the last song of the day."

A slightly regretful voice sounded from the audience.

Female lead singer: "I am also very reluctant to part with everyone. The next song can be said to be my heartfelt voice. I hope everyone can understand my heart from it."

The audience laughed.

The female lead singer said with a smile: "Then I will present my favorite to everyone—"Song of Thousand Thousands of Ques"."

"Looking back slowly

The night that once belonged to each other..."

Together with the music, it really makes people tremble instantly.

Ye Ji is most afraid of listening to this kind of song now, he didn't expect to be tortured once he came out to be a volunteer.

"a moment

too much to tell

It's a pity that we will be on each side..."

There is indeed too much to say.

They walked together in the past 20 years, so what about the next [-] years, when they are all gray at the temples, where will they be and what will they look like?

Life, after all, is no match for the passage of time, no match for the changes of the world, no matter how deep the love was, one day we will say goodbye, one day we will part ways.

The more Ye Ji listened, the more he couldn't help thinking wildly. Those accumulated emotions filled his chest, as if he could burst his body at any time.

"Xiao Tang."

"Ok?"
