God said I would meet you

"Sister, come and do makeup for our class!"

At the backstage of the auditorium, together with the cultural and entertainment committee members, Qiao Qiang walked back and forth around the students in their class who were going to perform on stage later, calling for the makeup artist hired by the school to come and do makeup for their class.

"Hey, come." There are only a few make-up artists, but they have to deal with the students of the whole grade. It is inevitable that they are a little flustered.

At the end of December, the temperature was already very low. Lin Jinyu stood for a long time, and she felt cold in her school uniform wrapped in padded cotton. She moved in place, hoping to heat herself up.

Their class chose to send this program, and when the lottery was drawn, they were lucky enough to get the first one, which turned out to be a "good start"... It sounds awesome, but it's actually useless. The pressure of the vanguard general multiply.

Feeling cold all the time, Lin Jinyu stomped her feet like a grasshopper on a hot pot, wishing she could tuck her arms into her pockets.

"Don't move," said teacher Tony who was doing his hair, "Little handsome guy, just be patient."

Zhang Xinli was beside him, waiting with him, his head was agitated by his stomping, "Can you be quiet for a minute?"

"I'm cold," Lin Jinyu said in a cotton school uniform in a sweater and fleece sweater, "Aren't you cold?"

Zhang Xinli wore a thin bottoming shirt and a thick black and yellow checked shirt over his school uniform: "It's not cold."

"How is it possible to wear such thin clothes?" Lin Jinyu reached out and touched his hand, and found that it was actually much hotter than her own, so she was surprised: "Did you secretly put an electric blanket on your body?"

"You even installed a massage chair," Zhang Xinli said, "It's shaking."

His eyes have been wandering around since the beginning of the queue, looking restless. Lin Jinyu looked at him for a few seconds and said, "Are you nervous?"

Zhang Xinli was exposed all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to say: "I..."

Lin Jinyu was already numb from playing the violin in front of everyone on the playground. She had seen strong winds and waves, so she didn't feel any nervousness at the moment. Zhang Xinli should be on stage for the first time, let alone they were the first to perform, so it was inevitable that they would be nervous.

"It's okay, it's like this for the first time on stage, there's nothing to be nervous about," Lin Jinyu said, "It's just like when you play, many people look at you."

When Zhang Xinli plays, there are always many people watching, both boys and girls. The former usually look at skills, while the latter usually look at handsome guys.

This metaphor relieved his tension a little, Zhang Xinli nodded, indicating that he was fine.

They are all boys in this group, and they can do it simply. Compared with girls, there are a lot of procedures.Lin Jinyu said: "There is no need to do it on the left neck and chin...it will be useless if you do it."

He wants to play the piano, and it will be uncomfortable to rub around.

Another female makeup artist was at Zhang Xinli's side, and didn't do anything for him, so she used an eyebrow trimmer to shave off the fine hairs around his eyebrows, making the eyebrows more concise and clean.

It was estimated that it was almost time to enter the auditorium, so Lin Jinyu called Zhang Xinli out to go back to the auditorium. They could also look at the score before the start. They came out of the small classroom used as a temporary dressing room, not wanting to run into Shen Lanxi at the entrance of the auditorium.

She obviously also has a show to perform, and the white tulle skirt outlines the beautiful curves of the body, with silver lace patterns on the skirt.

"Ah, what a coincidence," Shen Lanxi looked at them and said, "Do you also have a show?"

Since they were divided into classes, they were no longer in the same class, but they had a good relationship with each other. Lin Jinyu hadn't had much contact with her in private, so Zhang Xinli didn't know about it.

"Yes," Lin Jinyu was about to exchange some casual greetings before leaving, "We're still in the same class."

However, Shen Lanxi continued to say to Zhang Xinli: "You...I brought the watch that I put there, and I will return it to you after the performance." She said, "I heard...you are going to transfer schools?"

"What watch?" Lin Jinyu felt that something was wrong. He looked over and found that the watch on Zhang Xinli's wrist had disappeared at some point... Lin Jinyu had been struggling with self-doubt, but she didn't even notice.

How could Zhang Xinli's watch be at Shen Lanxi's?These days when he was studying at the residence school, they kept in touch frequently?

Zhang Xinli said, "You brought it? Then give it to me."

"Leave it to my classmate, I'll give it to you after the performance," Shen Lanxi asked, "Which one are you?"

Zhang Xinli said, "The first one."

"what happened……"

He asked in a low voice, neither of them paid attention, Shen Lanxi said: "We are also the first few, then I will wait for you backstage after your performance."

Zhang Xinli agreed, and the three said goodbye. Lin Jinyu asked again, "What watch?"

"It's nothing," Zhang Xinli said, "Just my watch, she helped me..."

Before he finished speaking, the teacher over there came to urge them: "Where is the first group? Hurry up and get ready. After the performance is over, go out the small door and go back to your seat in your class. Don't linger. So as not to affect other students performing!"

Lin Jinyu had no choice but to end the topic, and hurried over to tune and wait in line for the stage.

Not long after, students from each class were organized to enter the arena, and the auditorium was soon crowded with people. Lin Jinyu held the [-] piano that Lin Ye had lent him in his hand, turned to look at Zhang Xinli, and said, "It's okay, let's go!" easy."

He himself was not nervous at first, but standing beside Zhang Xinli, he suddenly became nervous.

The host came to the stage to announce the curtain, and the logistics staff pushed the piano with rollers and waited for it.

"Next, please enjoy the performance of instrumental music mix brought by Class Six - "Crush"."

The three of Lin Jinyu came to the stage, the applause sounded, the lights turned on, Xu Zhao connected the folk guitar to the line, Zhang Xinli sat on the piano bench, Lin Jinyu stood at the front, holding the piano, and bowed very politely to the crowd of people under the stage. bow.

All around fell silent, Lin Jinyu looked sideways at Zhang Xinli, and nodded slightly.

Zhang Xinli put his fingers lightly on the keys, and played the first note with his scarred hands.

The piano sounds in the high-pitched area are melodious, and it is a classic and ancient ballad "1961miles" released by The Brothers Four in 500. It probably sings about a wanderer who has been away from home for many years but still has nothing.

Following the ups and downs of Zhang Xinli's fingertips, Lin Jinyu sang slowly and silently in her heart:

"If you miss the train Iamon

If you miss the train I'm on

You will know that Iamgone

You should understand that I have left

You can hear the whistle blowahundred miles

You can hear the whistle from a hundred miles away

Lord I am five hundred miles away from home

God, I'm five hundred miles from home"

After the crisp piano, Xu Zhao's guitar picked up the next piece of melody, which is an octave lower than Zhang Xinli's. He also added the technique of clapping the strings to enhance the sense of rhythm. A little free and easy.

"Notashirtonmyback

I am ragged

Notapennytomyname

i am penniless

Lord I cannot go a-homethisa-way

God, I can't go home like this

Lord I cannot go a-homethisa-way

God, I can't go home like this"

……

Zhang Xinli played normally, and Xu Zhao's skills were not bad. The audience was immediately attracted by the decent sound of musical instruments, and they all marveled.

Xu Zhao finally ended with a watery C chord strumming, just like a dragonfly leaving the water, leaving only a layer of ripples.

Lin Jinyu stayed blank for two seconds, put the piano on his shoulders, and opened the prelude to the second "Dead Overture" with very accurate chords. At the same time, Zhang Xinli played the chords just right, and the cooperation with him was seamless. .

This song is solemn yet passionate. No one knew about it at first, but it became popular because it was paired with World of Warcraft and cut a MV.

Lin Jinyu was immersed in the music wholeheartedly. He looked at Zhang Xinli from a distance in the increasingly passionate and powerful strings, as if he saw the land called Azeroth burning with flames of war, and countless races shed blood for it. People are fighting and resisting, and they are not afraid to shed the last drop of blood.

There was the same light in his eyes.

At the end of the song, a group of boys who love to play World of Warcraft immediately boiled over and applauded wildly.The lights on the side of the piano dimmed, and there was no piano part. This was an appointment that Lin Jinyu had made with him a long time ago, and he had a mysterious song to give to him.

Under the cover of darkness, Zhang Xinli retreated quietly to the side of the screen, planning to use the few minutes in the middle to go back to their seats off the court... He promised Lin Jinyu that he would listen to the song carefully.

The majestic and passionate "Prelude to the Dead" was followed by Xu Zhao's best and most arrogant and indulgent "roolling in the deep".

Zhang Xinli turned around and walked to the side of the screen, feeling that the sound of the music gradually became quieter, as if it was wrapped in a soundproof sponge.

He turned to go down the stairs, but someone stopped him suddenly.

"Zhang Xinli," Shen Lanxi held the black and blue watch that Lin Jinyu gave him in her hand, and said, "Your watch has been repaired."

It was a long time ago, the day when Zhang Xinli went out for the first time after his leg was injured, he and his colleagues were having dinner in a small restaurant on the side of the street. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet Shen Lanxi being teased by some drunken bums.

An unemployed vagrant in his teens and twenties, he was more courageous than the sky after drinking. Shen Lanxi was entangled by them and couldn't get away from her. He chased the group away.

Four or five of their strong young men kicked there, and the group of middle-aged and second-year-olds felt a little embarrassed, but they still managed to save face. There was a little physical conflict, and the watch in Zhang Xinli's hand blocked the shot for him. beer bottle.

... At that time, Lin Jinyu was sitting at the door, looking at her lonely shadow under the street lamp.

"Is this watch very important to you..." Shen Lanxi stood in front of him. She still remembered Zhang Xinli's expression at that time. Although he didn't speak, his eyes were full of loss and distress: "I said yes. It was fixed for you, and it is fixed now."

Zhang Xinli reached out to pick it up and said, "Thank you, I thought...it couldn't be repaired."

Shen Lanxi did not let go, Zhang Xinli reached out to hold one end, she grabbed the other end, Shen Lanxi hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "Are you... are you really going to transfer schools?"

Zhang Xinli said calmly, "Yes."

"That's it..." Shen Lanxi lowered her head in disappointment, her neck was white and slender, reminiscent of a swan on the lake: "I thought it was a rumor."

They are not in the same class, so it must have taken a lot of effort to find out this kind of news.

Zhang Xinli was in a hurry. Lin Jinyu and their show would only have two songs in total. It would take about two or three minutes, so he had to get out quickly.

Shen Lanxi still didn't let go of the watch, she lowered her head slightly, looked at the piece on Zhang Xinli's chest, her hand grasping the watch strap was a little harder, her fingernails were squeezed, faintly turning white: "I... I have something to say to you..."

Zhang Xinli looked at the girl who could dance ballet and asked, "What?"

Through the thick sound-proof sponge, the sound of Lin Jinyu's music still seeped in like needles:

"I loved you with afired

I used to love you like fire

Now it's turning blue, and you say...

Now only indifference is left, but you are still hesitating

"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you

Your angelic apology is like a voice from heaven to me

……

It'stoolate to apologize, it'stoolate

Your apology came too late, really too late

Isaid it'stoolate to apologize, it'stoolate

I said it was too late, it was too late"

Shen Lanxi finally plucked up the courage to say, "I... I actually have a little... like you."

Zhang Xinli didn't seem to be able to react in the first second, and he said calmly after a full second: "Thank you, I wish you meet a better person."

Shen Lanxi said: "Maybe... maybe we can try, even in a different place..." Before she had time to say "it doesn't matter", Zhang Xinli interrupted him: "No... I'm sorry," he said : "We're still young, forget about me, I won't have a chance to come back here again."

For an ordinary person whose native family is located in a valley in the southwest, and unlike the Chosen Son in the novel, who is gifted in learning and has a halo, it is really difficult to gain a foothold in Shanghai on his own strength. ascend to heaven.

Shen Lanxi did not give up: "I know you are not from Shanghai," she said, "It's okay, I don't mind, the spring exam is only a few months away, I can take the exam with you... We won't always Children will grow up and live their own lives."

However, Zhang Xinli still said: "No, you should not choose your college entrance examination choice for others."

As time passed by, Zhang Xinli said, "I really should go."

Shen Lanxi is still trying her best to fight for it. This is the first time she has grown up and likes someone so much: "It's okay, I..."

In her words mixed with courage and shyness, Zhang Xinli finally said: "...I have someone in my heart."

Shen Lanxi fell silent for an instant, and after a few seconds, she said, "Can you tell me... who is it?"

"It's not necessary," Zhang Xinli didn't dare to meet her eyes: "That's it, forget about me... Thank you for helping me repair my watch." After speaking, he took the watch back and walked past her to leave.

Seeing that his back was about to disappear at the stairs, Shen Lanxi mustered up the courage to say the last sentence behind him: "Is it the person who gave you the watch?"

Zhang Xinli's footsteps paused, but he didn't speak, nor did he turn his head.

……

When the last note of "apologize" fell, the stage went dark instantly, and all the lights were extinguished. After a short period of silence, a beam of snow-white light hit the place where Lin Jinyu was standing.

It was the only light in the darkness.

Everything fell silent, Lin Jinyu stood in the light and said: "The following is the last piece of music, it is adapted from the Violin Concerto by Paganini's Hand of the Devil...I want to give it to someone," he said: " A...someone I like."

Lin Jinyu said: "The name of this song is... I think I love you."

This series of prefixes sounds very high, and the series of Paganini’s foreign names seem unfathomable to ordinary students. Coupled with this hot scene, it sounds like a confession, and the students come to love The adolescent soul of gossip started to burn instantly, and there was a sound of "yo" and whistles from the audience.

The rippling and lingering piano prelude sounded... That was Huang Jiayao. At some point, he quietly walked to the piano from the darkness and sat down. He pushed the silver half-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. When his hands moved over the keys, they looked like phoenixes. Slowly spread your wings.

That's an absolute child's skill, not inferior to Lin Jinyu's at all, even worse.

……

A month ago, at the entrance of the cafeteria.

Lin Jinyu took three steps in parallel and stopped Huang Jiayao: "Just this time, please help me, please."

Huang Jiayao didn't even think about it, and said: "No, I don't want to waste my precious time performing some kind of show."

"You don't need to play the previous one, only the last song." Lin Jinyu looked at him and said, "This is really important to me...I want to give him the perfect gift, just this time, the only time, I am willing to do it anything."

It was the first time that Huang Jiayao saw such a firm and expectant light in this small eye, as if he had made up his mind and no longer feared everything.

……

Listening to the piano prelude, Lin Jinyu looked for Zhang Xinli in the audience. He had made an appointment with Zhang Xinli, but the seat was still vacant at the moment.

He was a little apprehensive. He went down three songs earlier. It was unreasonable to walk so long for such a short distance... Just as he was apprehensive and eagerly looking forward to it, at the last second before the end of the prelude, Zhang Xinli appeared there panting slightly. In that position, it was the last row, behind everyone, he stood above everyone, looking at Lin Jinyu.

Lin Jinyu lowered her eyebrows, her ponytail rubbed against the strings, and released a lingering melody. It was the purest expression, without restraint, fear, worry or shyness, nothing else, just expressing love.

Goethe's poem "Love Beside You" is scrolling on the big screen behind the Chinese-Italian bilingual. The poetic language left by the great German poet for a hundred years, instead of Lin Jinyu, tells everything silently.

"When the sun dances on the sea,

Darling, I will miss you.

When every ray of moonlight shines on the spring water,

Darling, I will miss you.

Even if you are far away, I am still with you,

Even if you are far away, I can still feel that you are by my side.

Seems like you're right here...

I know you are here. "

Zhang Xinli watched him silently through the dark crowd. At that moment, Lin Jinyu stood in the only light between heaven and earth, playing with his violin in front of thousands of people, but in fact he was only singing a lingering song to one person .

The author says:

Note: When crush is used as a noun, it probably means "short, warm, secret and shy love".

"Ihadacrushonyou." I once loved you briefly, passionately, yet shyly.
