Chapter 18 Shoes

It was autumn in a blink of an eye, I was walking aimlessly on the street, my eyes were full of tall buildings and traffic, but my mind was empty.It is all thanks to the thoughtless Guo Luqiang that he can walk so unhurriedly in the most prosperous part of the city.Today he invited me to play here early in the morning, but when I was changing to the bus, the guy saw the crowds and just got in by himself. When the door was closed, I was left alone The wild ghost wandered back and forth in this unfamiliar place.

Outside the audio-visual store at the intersection, several girls were talking and laughing together. This warm scene reminded me of that dignified and beautiful girl Lin Qingjun.It has been more than three months since she came back from the South Campus, and she has not seen her figure, and I don't know how she is doing now, whether she has really settled in this city.

Because of his depressed mood, even the clear sky seemed to be a bit darker.A small company in front is holding an opening ceremony, and a large group of people is crowded under the stage.I just squeezed through with all my strength, when I suddenly heard someone behind me shouting loudly: "Look, look, it seems that someone is about to jump off the roof of the building." Looking in the direction I pointed, I saw a red figure on the top of the building floating down in an instant. Because I looked familiar, I was startled suddenly, and a bad premonition came to my heart instantly.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up from nowhere, and the entire street was darkened. The billboards at the entrances of many shops couldn't hold on, and they were blown upside down. In an instant, paper bags were flying all over the sky, as if the doomsday had come.

I suddenly felt a tingling pain in my neck, and it was a hard piece of paper that got in through the neckline taking advantage of the wind.But I held it in my hand and took a closer look, but I couldn't help being surprised.The picture seems to be the scene in the early summer of Greentown. Under the sycamore tree covering the sky by the side of the road, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy is holding a bag of bright red strawberries in his hand, staring blankly ahead, his eyes full It is doubt.

Qin Chuan?I immediately thought of the name.It was the first time I saw this photo, and it seemed to be the one he took for me on the street, but the corner of the photo was slightly red, as if it had been soaked in blood just now.

There was a piercing siren on the street, and I couldn’t dodge in time, but I was pushed by the surging crowd and rushed to the back. If someone hadn’t dragged me out forcefully from behind, I would have been almost killed by the tsunami-like flow of people. Stamped to go.

When I looked back, I never dreamed that I would meet Ren Tao here.

He pulled me to a stop in a safe zone, and seeing that I was not injured, he felt relieved, so he said to me with a smile: "Children nowadays will choose to commit suicide if they suffer a little blow. It's too bad. Fortunately, I saw you in time, otherwise, according to the situation just now, don't mention how dangerous it is. Huh? Where are your shoes?" I was still in shock, and after hearing what he said, I realized that I had lost my shoes in a panic. a shoe.

From time to time, strange eyes shot from around me, and I felt a little embarrassed, so I quickly thanked him with a blushing face.His face was full of confidence that he had never had before, and his eyes were more gentle than before. He saw a few benches at the entrance of a nearby shopping mall, and helped me to sit on them, smiling. Said: "I was going to wait for someone in the square, and I happened to meet you. It seems that our brothers are very destined. It's not convenient for you to walk now, why don't you just sit here and wait for me, brother, go and go." Come." I hurriedly nodded and agreed, but I still remembered the single shoe in my heart, so I still looked around from time to time.

After more than ten minutes, he was seen walking out of the mall with a pair of shiny black leather shoes in his hands.I was taken aback, I grew up so big, I have never seen such beautiful shoes, so I dare not expect to own them.

Unexpectedly, he bent down and put the pair of shoes on my feet with his own hands.My heart was beating wildly. I didn't know whether it was emotion or nervousness. I lowered my head and stammered, "Brother, how can this be? These shoes must be very expensive... besides, I... my shoe is fine. , maybe I can get it back." He kept looking at me and smiling without saying a word.

"Tao'er, didn't you say you were going to wait for me at the other side of the square? Why did you sneak here alone, which made it hard for me to find you." A delicate voice suddenly came from the side, and I was taken aback. Jumping, when I was busy looking back, I saw a woman in her 20s who was full of jewels like a lady came over, and after some soft words, she hugged Ren Tao tightly in her arms in full view of everyone.

Ren Tao's face turned slightly red, and he turned to smile at her and said, "Don't be like this, it's not good for people to see you on the street." After hearing this, the woman pouted her lips, but left another smack on his cheek. With bright red lips, he hugged his shoulder and said in a coquettish voice, "You are my boyfriend, what's wrong with you, I just want them to see, and I'm so anxious to kill them." Ren Tao knew that he had no choice but to let her go. she went.

I stood aside and felt so bored, so I got up and said goodbye to Ren Tao, because I didn't mention the shoes in front of that woman.Unexpectedly, after the woman looked me up and down, she smiled slightly and said, "Oh, so you are Muye. I heard my Tao'er always mention you before and after, saying that you are so good. It's not a boy, I thought he had a good friend outside." Ren Tao's face turned purple instantly, he hurriedly pulled her aside and whispered: "Swallow, what's the matter with you, in front of other people's children Just talk nonsense in front of him." Seeing that he was losing face, the swallow couldn't help laughing.

swallow?Isn't she already married?My heart couldn't help but thumped.Fortunately, Ren Tao was in the middle, so she didn't notice the strange expression that flashed across my face.

They rented a car on the side of the road and drove me to the school gate.When we were parting, Ren Tao patted my shoulder, his originally clear voice was a little astringent: "Muye, my brother is leaving here for Shanghai today, the train at [-] o'clock in the evening, and I went with Yanzi. She said she was in a bad mood and wanted to go to the south, so I agreed, but for this farewell, we two brothers don’t know when we will see each other... I hope there will be such a day.” The sky was still clear just now, and I felt so happy in an instant. It was like a torrential rain, and I didn't expect the parting to come so quickly.He froze there for a moment, with a lot of reluctance in his heart, but he still tried his best to restrain his emotions, not wanting to let the tears in his eyes fall wantonly.

Outside the store in front of the school, a song "Rolling Red Dust" played leisurely, and those once melancholy eyes seemed to appear in front of my eyes again.After a simple farewell, their backs gradually faded away, and my tears couldn't stop rolling down. It seemed that a thousand years had passed at this moment.

In a daze, I suddenly heard a weak female voice next to me asking in a low voice: "Huh? Isn't this the former teacher Xiao Liu of our school? I heard that she resigned after getting married and became a full-time wife. Why is she messing around with handsome Ren now?" One piece?"

Another girl couldn't help laughing and said, "She's divorced, and you don't even know about it. I heard that she was dumped in less than half a year. Her tragic experience is to tell us fools a lesson." It is an eternal truth that love and money cannot have both."

"That's not necessarily true. If it were me, I would find a man who is rich and loves me..."

"My X, are you still dreaming of your spring and autumn dream? It's really hopeless."

Listening to them chatting and laughing, my mind was in a mess. I didn't know whether Ren Tao's lost and found love was the continuation of happiness or the end of true love.

Two days later, I received a letter. I thought it was from Lin Qingjun, but after looking at the handwriting, I realized it was Qin Chuan's own handwriting.Strangely, there was only one photo inside.Under the clear blue sky, beside the endless wheat field, a head of black and thick long hair covers that delicate little face, which reveals a bit of astringency and cuteness in its simplicity.This is obviously the one he asked me to help choose last fall, but why he sent it to me now makes me puzzled.

There are two lines of lyrics on the back of the photo, which seem to be Sun Guoqing's "Eagle", but the signature is written with a strange name: Shi Zhiming.I faintly felt something, but I didn't expect that this mystery that had haunted me for nearly a year would be completely revealed two days later...

This morning when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, I packed up my books and was about to ask Ziyang to leave with me.Suddenly, I heard two people beside me arguing loudly for some reason, and finally it became more and more violent, and it even developed to the point of fighting.If Han Yuemei hadn't forcibly separated the two of them, the scene would have gotten out of control for a while.But what is surprising is that the two parties to the war were actually a man and a woman.

Zhu Beibei was heard crying loudly behind Han Yuemei: "Guo Luqiang, you bastard, he is gone, why do you still slander him like this?" Guo Luqiang was so angry that his head was hit by a stool A bag, Wang Shaofeng was gently rubbing it for him, just about to retaliate, but was stopped by Wang Shaofeng in time.

Who is the one that Zhu Beibei was talking about? I didn't bother to find out, but when I turned around, I heard Shi Zhengliang and Ning Chenyang laughing at the side: "If you want me to say, this Guo Luqiang is too annoying. He can't chew his tongue, but he said that Qin Chuan is a counterfeit, how could he know Zhu Beibei's feelings for Qin Chuan, he is really asking for trouble."

Unexpectedly, Ning Chenyang whispered from the side: "Don't say it, Lu Qiang is right, Qin Chuan's high school entrance examination results are really not his own, and his real name is not Qin Chuan, but Shi Zhiming. When he left school, the school leaders also contacted his family, only to learn that his father had been reported for bribery. After the first trial, many things were revealed. His mother Seeing that there is no hope in life, he also secretly ran away with other men. Thinking about Qin Chuan, who has always been well-clothed and well-fed, he would never have thought that he would end up in such a state today, the world is really impermanent."

"So, is the rumor about him committing suicide by jumping off the building true?" Shi Zhengliang's face gradually became serious.

Ning Chenyang nodded slightly and said: "I also heard from the teacher of the counseling office by chance that Qin Chuan jumped off the building near the square, and many people saw it at the time. It's just that the reason for his suicide is still unclear. Some said that he entered the underworld by mistake to make money, and he chose to commit suicide because he couldn't get out of the predicament; Boring, saying that he recently fell out of love and died for love."

With a "snap", the book in my hand fell to the ground, and the bloody photo that was originally sandwiched inside popped out.I didn't notice the eyes of my classmates looking at me. I just felt that familiar figure appeared in front of me again, with black hair, a handsome face, and a cool smile...

"Muye, what's wrong with you?" Seeing my pale face, Ziyang ran over and asked with concern.I woke up suddenly, bent down to pick up the book from the ground, smiled slightly, and followed him downstairs.

But the tears slipped quietly inadvertently...
