white sparrow

Mama Lin and Papa Lu divorced, and the separation was straightforward and not sloppy at all. Although Mama Lin's mood was ups and downs a while ago, when she found that she was living comfortably alone, her mood improved. After all, mother and son Apart from not having to wait for my father to come home, not much has changed in my life.

All the broken furniture in the house was refurbished. Mother Lin took a few friends to IKEA in the city to choose. She originally planned to take Lu Lin'an, but Lu Lin'an went to school early, and she didn't know why she went so diligently on weekends.

It's definitely not because the final exam is approaching, which makes Lu Lin'an, who is paddling in class, feel a sense of urgency, but because the exam is coming soon, Lu Lin'an plans to go to school for a crazy time.

The small test is a small game, and the big test is a big game.

The New Year’s Eve party is coming up next week. High school students have a lot of homework, so it’s a rare opportunity to get together and have fun. The students are all very excited, and they have been thinking about how to vent their backlog today by jumping wildly a few days ago. Long playful nature.

The highlight of the class activities is arranged in the afternoon. In the morning, the school will drive all the students to the auditorium to hold activities. Each class will present a program. Finally, the principal will come out to encourage the students to study hard and live well.

The principal of their high school is a very playful old man with a chubby body. Every afternoon when school is over, he stands in a small light-colored suit and stands at the school gate, smiling and saying goodbye to the students after school.

The principal is a person with a sense of ritual. Although he knew that the hearts of the students had already flown out of the auditorium when he finally spoke, he still hoped that when he spoke, he could accompany a piece of lyrical piano music.

Unfortunately, the music teacher who was in charge of playing the piano had his fingers broken by a mousetrap, and the other music teacher was eight months pregnant and couldn't participate in the New Year's Day activities with a big belly, so the principal slapped his head and planned to start from Choose one of the students who can play the piano to be responsible for his background music, and then treat that child with some snacks after playing.

He looked through the list of art students, and dialed the number of Bai Que, who was training in the piano store. Bai Que liked the principal very much, so he agreed. He would take time to come to the school to watch the music this weekend.

Lu Linan came to school for this purpose.

The white sparrow didn't let him come. He will come back again during the New Year's Day event, and the winter vacation will soon be over. There is no need to run alone for this 10-minute meeting. Lu Linan won't listen, even if it's only 5 minutes. He insisted on coming, but the two of them broke up after arguing on the phone, but Lu Linan still went out on this day, he didn't have time to ask Bai Que what time to arrive, worried that he would miss it, so he sat in the milk tea shop at the school gate early wait at the bar.

Even on weekends, there were other students sitting here, and many students who knew him would drag chairs, sit beside him, and exchange pleasantries with him.

The store gave him an extra plate of egg tarts, which he handed to the girls sitting at the table behind him. These girls were classmates in the next class.After getting his permission, Lu Lin'an became the chat content of the girls. He heard them tell some rumors about him that he didn't know. , sounds very interesting, the protagonist of the rumor is sitting on the sidelines listening to pass the time, looking up from the window from time to time, waiting for the familiar figure to appear.

I want to tell Bai Que, but I don't know what Bai Que's expression will be when he hears that he also appeared in these rumors.

It has been snowing for the past two days, and it didn’t stop until last night. There was a lot of snow on the side of the road. Lu Lin’an sat in the store and waited for several hours. The white bird in the down jacket stepped on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the strenuous appearance was a bit funny.

Waiting for the white bird to pass by the milk tea shop, Lu Linan stood up, knocked on the glass separating the two of them, and called the white bird's name through the glass.

"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to come over? We just met a week ago, don't you think it's troublesome to run around?" Bai Que stood outside the window, raised his eyebrows and looked at the people sitting in the milk tea shop and around Lu Lin'an, who was chatting and laughing happily, was not surprised at all why Lu Lin'an appeared here, he shouldn't have mentioned playing the piano on the phone, how could Lu Lin'an not come.

"Don't you want to see me?" Lu Lin'an simply waved goodbye to the people in the milk tea shop, and pushed open the glass door.

"Why, I mean you don't need to maintain our relationship in this way. Don't you have other things to do?" Bai Que walked towards the school alone without waiting for Lu Lin'an to come out, stepping on the snow , leaving a string of footprints.

Lu Lin'an caught up with Baique in two or three steps, then slowed down his pace, and stayed side by side with him.

The auditorium is on the top floor of the Qiuzhen Building, and the two of them walked crookedly along the way. When the door of the auditorium was pushed open, the principal was sitting in the control room, watching with a smile as the two walked in.

"Is it a quarrel or something? Both of them don't look very happy?"

The principal knows Lu Lin'an. After all, Lu Lin'an is too eye-catching in the crowd. There have been many topics about him between teachers and students. In the first year of high school, Lu Lin'an's head teacher couldn't ignore Lu Lin'an who did whatever he wanted. Having seen such an unruly student, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him. He really couldn't think of any way to deal with him, so he drove Lu Linan to the principal's office based on the principle that what he sees is pure.

As a result, not only was Lu Linan not criticized, but he got along very well with the principal. Now the principal still has a jigsaw puzzle put together by the two of them in the principal's drawer. Because of this smiling and kind old man, Lu Linan also promised that he would not stand alone in class in the future. , this matter was lightly brushed over.

"There is no principal, the two of us just met by chance, and he insisted on following in." Bai Que patted Lu Lin'an's arm off his shoulder, glared at Lu Lin'an, and distanced himself from him.

"You play your fiddle, I won't make trouble." Lu Lin'an raised his hands and sat on a stool beside him in an orderly manner, "The principal doesn't mind."

The headmaster really had no objection, and acquiesced in Lu Lin'an's appearance. Bai Que was tempered and lost his temper. He didn't think about how he was so big, how could others ignore his existence, and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He sat on the piano bench and looked through sheet music.

"Principal, there are no problems with the first few capitals. I haven't played the latter pop music. Can I try it first?"

I have to say that the progress under the closed training is really fast. Baique's piano foundation is already very good, and the practice during this period has made his piano skills even better.

Bai Que has been meticulous in doing things since he was a child, and he walks forward in his own way. It is the kind of effort that must be done with all his strength. It is inevitable that people will have the illusion that he is a rigid and dogmatic nerd.

It's not that no one is jealous of his achievements and will say: "He is not smart, isn't that why he works so hard?"

Only people like Lu Lin'an who get along with him day and night can discover his ability to understand by analogy in learning, and can perceive the agility of his rhythm. Effort is also a kind of talent. If it is not too much pressure from his mother, if it was just because of interest Meeting the piano, the music brings only relaxation and joy to the white bird.

Music is a very magical thing, the melody is the same as the person who plays it.

After trying out the song, I discussed with the principal about the attire and the time to go on stage. Sure enough, it took 10 minutes, no more than no less, and Bai Que was ready to leave. The principal brought out a bag of snacks but failed to keep him.

"I'll take you back." Lu Lin'an, who had been listening by the side, waved to the principal and caught up with him.

"I can just go back by myself." Baique was still holding the music sheet in his hand, and when Lu Linan naturally wanted to reach out to help him get it, Baique sideways avoided his movement.

"Are you angry because you didn't let me come, and I still came?" Lu Lin'an stepped forward to stop Bai Que, supported his shoulder, lowered his head to observe his expression, but didn't see why.

"Lu Lin'an, is it so difficult to prepare to part with me? Don't get stuck in the old way of life." Bai Que looked a little sad, and shook his head at Lu Lin'an's probing eyes, without hesitation. After spending too much time for Lu Linan to speculate, he bypassed his side and left directly.

The two broke up again, but Lu Lin'an didn't even understand Bai Que's words. He still sent Bai Que to the station. The two of them were silent all the way, and Lu Lin'an didn't stop until the car arrived. White sparrow, farewell softly.

"Goodbye." Baique's voice finally softened a little, and he bid farewell to Lu Lin'an.

When Lu Lin'an returned home, Mother Lin still hadn't come back, and he was the only one at home, thinking about lying on the bed and flipping through the unfinished novel, someone rang the doorbell of his house.

"Brother An, it's me." Opening the door, it turned out to be Wang Yifan, holding a bag of fruit, standing awkwardly at the door.

Welcoming Wang Yifan into the empty home, the furniture has not been bought yet, and there is not even a chair to sit on. Lu Linan wanted him to go to his room to rest, but Wang Yifan waved his hand and refused.

"Brother An, I'm planning to drop out of school. Although it's not a big deal, I think I should tell you." Wang Yifan put the fruit into Lu Lin'an's hands, and heaved a sigh of relief after speaking, as if he had finally done it at the last moment. A decision was made.

"Why did you suddenly drop out of school?" Did something happen at home?This sentence was swallowed by Lu Linan one second before asking, waiting for Wang Yifan to continue.

"Brother An, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I've been thinking about it for a long time. You know that I'm not suitable for studying. My grandfather is getting worse and worse. He still has to work for me to go to school. I want to take advantage of it Seeing that the old man can still enjoy a few years of blessings, hurry up and make money to support him." Wang Yifan's voice is quiet but firm, he is telling the truth, every time he is ranked at the bottom of the grade, no matter how hard he works, he is just fluttering in the middle and lower reaches .

"But you are not an adult? Where are you going to make money?" Lu Linan asked, he was worried that this inexperienced brother would be tricked by sugar-coated bullets.

"There is a master electrician, his wife died early, and he has no children. Last time, he asked me if I would like to learn electric work from him. Let's go together, to learn some skills."

"..." Lu Linan wanted to persuade him to reconsider, but he didn't know how to make Wang Yifan change his mind. Lu Linan knew how much Wang Yifan, who had been dependent on his grandfather since childhood, valued his grandfather.

"Brother An, your family has helped me a lot. You have paid for the tuition fees these few years, as well as the money for my grandfather's medical treatment. If you weren't willing to be friends with me, no one would treat me as a human being. I Thin-skinned, I can no longer accept your kindness, I want to go down on my own." This kid who is the same age as Lu Lin'an sincerely respects Lu Lin'an, and it is rare for someone to treat him well, so he wrote down everything, He counts left and right at home every day, and if he doesn't go out quickly to be independent, he is afraid that he will never be able to pay for it in this life. He has seen Lu Lin'an's state in his eyes these days. He really can't feel at ease when such a big incident happened to the Lu family. Take other people's food and eat other people's food like before.

"They are willing to give me a bowl of rice to eat. I have to take care of my master over there. I may not come back in the future, but when I can support myself, I will definitely come back to see your brother An." Wang Yifan in this small town I really didn't leave any good memories in the world, so it's only natural that I don't want to come back.

"Then you are over there, remember to contact me if you have anything to do, you say that I am your brother, don't carry everything by yourself, remember to call your brothers during the New Year and holidays." Lu Lin'an said that He said it sincerely, but he vaguely knew that even if Wang Yifan encountered the sky falling in the future, he would never accept his help again.

All he can do is to bless his miserable friend, quickly get rid of the painful past brought to him by his original family, and hope that his future will be all right.

"Brother An, as long as you still treat me as a brother, you will always have me as a brother," Wang Yifan said, his eyes were red, he turned his head and wiped his eyes hard, not wanting to let tears fall.

In order not to make the conversation more sentimental, Wang Yifan grinned forcefully and changed the topic between them: "Brother An, is my sister at home? I want to take another look at my sister."

"... My sister was sent to my uncle's house by my mother. She's not at home. I'll show you the photos when she comes back." Lu Lin'an also patted Wang Yifan's shoulder with a smile, and made an excuse.

"Then brother An, I'm leaving, you take care of yourself." Wang Yifan held on to the big rusty iron gate of the yard with some reluctance, and waved to Lu Lin'an before leaving. Lu Lin'an was the last person he said goodbye to. Next, All he had to do was leave the town with his luggage.

After sending Wang Yifan away, Lu Lin'an sat at the desk with some exhaustion. In front of him, the room that originally belonged to the white bird was empty.

He wants to protect everyone around him, but there are always people who run away from his shelter because they cannot bear the weight of this goodwill, Wang Yifan is like this, and so is Bai Que.

Lu Lin'an is used to growing up with the kindness and admiration of people around him. Even though he doesn't have the sense of superiority that why not eat mincemeat, he really hasn't experienced the hardships of life: he hasn't experienced being dependent on others, he has never experienced being superior to others, Never felt alone.Except for the occasional bickering with the white sparrow, Lu Linan didn't have any troubles in his youth. When everyone around him was forced by various troubles, either confused or determined to move forward, Lu Linan stayed where he was.

He was obsessed with the hazy relationship with the white bird in the past, and he didn't want it to go backwards, but he didn't realize that he should push this relationship forward. He just passively and difficultly maintained the connection between him and the white bird , Refusing to face the future that will inevitably usher in separation.

Even without Baique's training camp, they would have parted ways in college life and different workplaces. Baique would also meet the girl he loves and form his own family. Where would he be at that time?

He couldn't accept that someone else was standing next to Bai Que.

Bai Que has always been a soft-hearted person in front of himself. He can despicably keep Bai Que and intervene in his future, but he wants Bai Que to be free. What excuse does he have and what identity will he use to enjoy Bai Que's pampering forever.

The relationship between him and Baique has reached the point where it has to change in order to continue.

He should have told Bai Que what he had unintentionally prepared for a long time long ago. The relationship between him and Bai Que should have broken through the boundaries of childhood sweethearts long ago. It was he himself who was confused by the illusion of peace. Hope it's not too late.

Lu Linan was fidgeting and a little at a loss. He thought that he might do something to dispel the restlessness. When he realized it, Lu Linan had already called Baique. He smiled bitterly and looked at the names dancing on the screen. More dependent on white sparrow than imagined.

The call was connected at a very bad time. Hearing the piercing electric noise in his ears, Lu Linan was speechless. He didn't know what he should say to Baique.

"Don't tell me you accidentally pressed the phone." Bai Que's voice sounded, he should still be in the car now.

"Little bird?"

"Ok?"

"Can you wait for me at school on New Year's Day? I have something I want to tell you."
