Say goodbye

Take the courage to drag it to the earliest start.

"Brother Du... If you search from school to school like this, when will you find the new boy group member you are satisfied with?"

Qi Du smiled gently: "Take your time, don't worry."

The breeze in the corridor never stops, and the throbbing of the teenagers is timeless. At that time, he lost a heartbeat on the wound of that person to commemorate the unintelligible feelings of these years.

"What's wrong with beating you two! You are so white, you are not a boy at all! Oh! Not even a girl! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

"That's right! This kind of weak sissy should be beaten!"

Qi Du and Li Rui were quietly observing whether there were outstanding trainee seedlings in this campus, but such a voice came from the end of the corridor ahead, and Qi Du frowned, and he was about to step forward quickly.

"Hey...Brother Du...let's mind your own business, we are here to select trainees..."

Li Rui held on to Qi Du. He had always adhered to the principle of doing things better than one thing more, and not offending others if he could not offend others, so he just wanted to drag Qi Du to go elsewhere.

The cicadas were still singing, and Li Rui still remembered the flash of contempt Qi Du had for him after hearing what he said.

But he is such a person, he is such an ordinary person, he can't afford to offend anyone, so he is afraid of offending anyone.

But Qi Du is not, he knows it.

He chased Qi Du, who was walking fast, to the end of the corridor.

I saw a few boys surrounding a thin boy who was struggling to stand up on the ground. Standing beside Qi Du, Li Rui was shocked by the bloodstains on the boy's body and swallowed his saliva.

Qi Du coughed, and the boys saw that Qi Du had an elegant demeanor and was an outsider who could come in and out of the school at will, so they didn't speak anymore, and dispersed in a hurry.

The boy on the ground stood up quickly, but didn't walk away. Instead, he stood straight with his head down, clutching his dusty school uniform pants with both hands, and didn't speak.

Qi Du stepped forward lightly, Li Rui wanted to reach out to stop him, but he still didn't stop him.

Brother Du, hurry up and move on after you've settled the matter, why do you still pay attention to this boy!

"Can you look up and let me see your face?" Qi Du's voice was always gentle and convincing.

The boy in the black and white school uniform was also taken aback for a moment, then he raised his head obediently.

It had a good-looking face. Although there were still scars on the right side of his face and blood at the corner of his mouth, Li Rui was amazed when he saw the boy look up.

Qi Du smiled again, stretched out his shirt sleeve, and briefly wiped the blood off the face of the boy in front of him.

Li Rui opened his mouth wide, wow, Brother Du has a serious cleanliness obsession, okay?Who is this kid so lucky!Let Brother Du use his own clothes to wipe the blood for you!

So he couldn't help looking at the boy in front of him who seemed to be stunned by Qi Du's behavior several times.

It's so beautiful, Li Rui thought, the wind blows the hair of the boy and Qi Du, this scene will definitely look better if it is drawn.

"Okay." Qi Du finally distanced himself from the boy.

"I want to ask you a question, you answer it before leaving, okay?" Seeing the boy who didn't know what to say and wanted to leave quickly, Qi Du said quickly.

what is the problem?Li Rui thought, why are you so good-looking, why do you invite other people to beat you, why do you keep silent...

He seemed to have questions for the boy too.

But he still didn't speak.

Seeing the boy turn his head back, Qi Du's gentle smile on his face remained unchanged, and he slowly said, "Do you want to be a big star?"

There seemed to be deep doubts in the boy's eyes, and then he finally said lightly: "Is there any benefit for me to be a big star?"

The sound is so nice too!It sounds good!Brother, why didn't you speak up earlier!Li Rui shouted in his heart.

"If you become a big star, no one will dare to bully you."

Qi Du looked squarely at the boy in front of him, with unquestionable determination in his eyes.

Li Rui admitted that he was once again intimidated by Brother Du's aura.

After a long time, Qi Du continued: "It seems that you agree, well, pack up, and you can go back with me today."

"where to?"

"KG Entertainment."

After a pause, Qi Du asked with a smile: "I forgot to ask, what's your name?"

"Wu Zhi."

"Well, Xiao Rui, you take him to see his teacher, explain why I have a crush on him, contact the guardian, and then take him away."

"Wait...wait, wait, see him? Brother Du, pay attention to your words!" Li Rui stammered anxiously, but ignored the blush that flashed across Wu Zhi's face.

Qi Du snorted through his juvenile hair, then walked away.

"Hmm... Brother Wu Zhi, right? Then you can lead me to your class." Li Rui thought his words were very elegant and polite.

Wu Zhi didn't pay attention to him immediately, but with the wound still oozing blood on his face, he raised his head and fixedly looked in the direction where Qi Du was walking away.

Li Rui was suddenly a little jealous of the look in his eyes.

It was Wu Zhi who looked at Brother Du.

However, he had to admit that a person like Qi Du would be bright, dazzling, clean, mysterious and desirable in anyone's life.

"Brother Du, I brought Wu Zhi. He...he is an orphan, and he goes to school with a stipend."

Li Rui deliberately left Wu Zhi outside Qi Du's office, for fear that Wu Zhi would feel inferior when he heard what he told about his life experience.

"He's a freshman this year?"

"Yeah, I just finished my high school exam."

"Okay, you go and ask him if he is willing to follow me from now on, and I will be his guardian."

Li Rui widened his eyes and opened his mouth again.

He originally thought that in the future, he would take more than half of his modest salary to support Wu Zhi, but he didn't expect Brother Du to be so rich, he admired him.

Wu Zhi soon became Qi Du's adopted child.

Although Wu Zhi, Qi Du, and even Qi Yue, a kid who can't even speak, all denied the idea of ​​him being a "raised baby", he still insisted on using this title.

What is he afraid of?

The water, milk, snacks, candies that suddenly popped up in Wuzhi's practice room... who put them there?

He doesn't want to know.

Wu Zhi debuted soon.

Qi Du was sitting under the stage, right in the middle, watching Wu Zhi perform.

A station sister "clicked" the camera to freeze the scene.

After Li Rui saw this picture of Wu Zhi and Qi Du looking at each other on and off the stage on the Internet, he suddenly became angry and found that when the two looked at each other, their eyes couldn't stop the light.

It was so dazzling, he quickly turned off Weibo at that time.

"Brother Rui! Why are you so angry?"

Wu Zhi carried her schoolbag in one hand and entered the lounge.

"...No, it's okay, it's okay, your performance is so good! I went to see it too! But sitting in the back row, you may not see it!"

"I'm very happy that you're here." Wu Zhi took the clothes left here, and went out with a smile.

Holding the phone in his hand, Li Rui suddenly felt that the baby Qi Du had raised was very successful. Wu Zhi's appearance was still gloomy and terrifying, but the inside was already sunny.

These are things he can't do.

Brother Du is really amazing, he thought.

There was not much change after that, the up became popular smoothly, and Wu Zhi started to come to the recording studio frequently again.

So water, milk, snacks, candies... and other food began to appear in up's recording studio from time to time.

And the surveillance could not find out who did it.

Is it because I have a good relationship with Uncle Wang who is in charge of the monitoring room, Li Rui thought angrily.

But he didn't expect that one night he almost revealed his secrets - he ran into Wu Zhi.

But Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief for a moment - it turned out to be Wu Zhi who was drunk.

"Brother Xiao Rui...you stay with me for a while."

Li Rui was at a loss for what to do with his nose full of alcohol, so he could only help Wu Zhi to sit up first.

"Brother Rui..."

It was an aggrieved voice with some crying.

The lights in the recording studio were dim, and Li Rui's heart was beating like a drum.

"I met Brother Du. I was in... Prison... I didn't know what he was going to do, I knew his true identity, I trusted him, and I never knew him."

Li Rui didn't think about the key point in these words, he only heard the words "Brother Du" clearly.

He felt that at this moment he was going to hate Wu Zhi to death.

He moved Wu Zhi to the chair, lay down safely, and then escaped.

After that, the food that mysteriously appeared in the recording studio and practice room disappeared for a while, and then reappeared on an ordinary day.

"Hey, have you heard? The mysterious person who delivered the food appeared again!"

"Yes, yes! I don't know who it is! Can you give me some too!"

Li Rui passed by here, and proudly replied in his heart: "No."

Maybe it was a habit, so after he got angry alone for a while, he continued to deliver food to the recording studio and practice room honestly.

He is so diligent.

Time flies forward, and soon it will be Wu Zhi's third birthday after entering kg.

"Wuzhi...you...I heard that you won't celebrate your birthday with fans this year, so what are you going to do?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Rui regretted it.

He was afraid of Wu Zhi's answer.

"I haven't figured it out yet...but I've always liked things that sparkle. Wherever there is something shiny, there is me."

Unexpected answer.

Li Rui began to think about where there was something shining.

"Zhao Xun, do you know what sparkles in the world?"

"Brother Du, do you know what is shining in the world?"

"Leader, do you know what sparkles in the world?"

"This sister, you know..."

"Snapped!"

"I have a child and come out to flirt with girls! Shameless!"

Li Rui covered his slapped face, and looked at the happy little Qi Yue who was entertaining himself in his arms, full of innocence.

He ended up asking this question online anyway:

"A man is going to celebrate his birthday. He said he likes shiny things. I want to celebrate his birthday with him. Who can give me some advice?"

"Answer 1"

"Big girl, are you in love clearly or in secret? If you are in love, don't make such false accusations, go straight up! Confess! If you are in love... secretly in love, you can also confess! If you like someone, you have to say it! That's a lot of effort! Confession!"

"Answer 2"

"Thank you for the invitation. As for this, I personally think that the word sparkle is unusual. Does he also have a crush on you? Otherwise, why did he say sparkle to you? I think he just means you sparkle..."

What is this, Li Rui thought.

"Answer 3"

"Wait for a thank you everyone, we are together."

"Answer 4"

"Squat and follow up."

"Answer 5"

"Thank you for the invitation, wait for one to thank everyone."

"Answer 6"

"Glittering? Fireflies are just that. It's quite romantic. Do you want to try it?"

Sitting in front of the computer, Li Rui almost crossed the screen to say thank you.

Finally found a reliable one!

The fireflies behind the firefly's buttocks are shining.

It's it!

Wu Zhi's birthday was in the summer, so Li Rui went to the riverside in the suburbs of Pingcheng to catch fireflies more than ten days earlier, and made up enough for three big jars.

Because it was a secret activity, he could only go to the suburbs alone, and the fireflies would run away when the flashlight was turned on, so he could only discredit and advance by the river, trying his luck, and he didn't know how many times he fell.

But what is it about the more you fall, the happier you are?

He didn't know either.

On the night before Wu Zhi's birthday, he shook his fingers lightly, so nervous that he opened WeChat, wanting to ask Wu Zhi to go to the river in the suburbs tomorrow to watch the fireflies he had prepared.

But between hesitation and turning to the Moments posted by Wu Zhigang:

"Going to Chile tomorrow, I have to transfer several planes, the phone will be shut down for a long time, don't read it."

The accompanying picture is a selfie of him and Qi Du holding a plane ticket together.

Li Rui hated Wu Zhi once again.

He went to the river in the suburbs by himself and released three cans of fireflies.

Fireflies and stars are basically the same thing, except that one is in the sky and the other is in the ground. As a result, people in the world brag about how mysterious and beautiful the stars are. It seems that there is a difference between the two, why bother.

Thinking of this, Li Rui felt a lot better.

The food in the recording studio and practice room still shows up from time to time.

He knew that the two people saw light in each other's eyes, and no one could get through the light.

Then he won't be separated.

Until Qi Du died, until Wu Zhi wanted to settle in Chile.

He prepared a backpack of all kinds of food, and quietly placed it next to Wu Zhi's luggage.

The package of food remains anonymous.

He did not reveal his courage.

"Are you back?" He had the courage to ask in a low voice.

"Probably not, but I will take care of myself, Brother Xiao Rui, don't worry."

That's good.

"I'm relieved," Li Rui said.

It was seven o'clock in the evening when Wu Zhi's plane departed.

Li Rui sat in the office, looking at the night sky of the city outside for a long time.

I hope that Chile and the Atacama desert in the southern hemisphere can treat this boy kindly.

He had a crush on the boy for many years.

Suddenly awakened, Li Rui woke up with a cartoon doll in his arms, and when he touched his face, tears filled his face.

------------

The wind in the suburbs is very cool today. Li Rui held a can of fireflies in his hand, feeling the beauty of fireflies.

"Brother Rui! I heard that you always came to this suburb last year on the eve of my birthday, why did you come this year? You also brought fireflies, does that mean anything?" Wu Zhi came to the appointment.He still wore an earphone around his neck and was dressed in black. He was so good-looking that Li Rui wanted to confess directly.

"...I was chatting with them."

Li Rui replied seriously.

"Huh? Chat?" Wu Zhi was puzzled.

"Yeah, hopefully some things don't get known by these little sparkly creatures."

When Li Rui was thinking about Wu Zhi, he always had a feeling of "I'm afraid of ghosts knocking on the door when I do something wrong", so I often worried that the walls have ears, so I listened to his thoughts.

"Haha, what if they all know?"

"Then I'll let them fly and put them in a place where no one knows me, that's all." Li Rui looked at Wu Zhi who was staring at the fireflies all over the sky.

His secret crush.

If these fireflies know, please help him keep it a secret.

The author has something to say: After much deliberation, I decided to write the story of the manager who only appeared once in the main text, and use Brother Xiao Rui's secret love to briefly explain the life of Wu Zhi and Qi Du in the past seven years.

The name of this episode is "Firefly", both Wu Zhi and Qi Du like stars, and they are also stars themselves.

Just like Ai Chaochao and Shen Ciwan are both the sun, they will heal others.

But what about ordinary people?An ordinary person like Li Rui, like a firefly, can also shine, but it is always a bit difficult to shine on other people besides himself, so he envies Wu Zhi and Qi Du for having such a bond.

That's why there was a secret crush that lasted seven years.

This story really ends here. I hope that both the people who died in vain and the lucky ones who are alive can get a little warmth in Pingcheng, a simple and slow-growing city.

that's all.
