June is our farewell song

Chapter 50 Heavy Rain ([-])
Three in the morning.

Chen Ying sat on the window sill with her feet sticking out of the window. The chilly autumn night wind crept up along the wall of the building, gently licked the skin of her exposed calf, and then lifted the tassels on the corners of the white nightdress. Two white glass windows overlap each other, and the metal frame that frames the glass looks solid and compact, framing the girl in this small world, looking from a distance, like a melancholy painting .

The night sky of the city is dyed in a mess by lights that gather and disperse from all directions, coupled with thick and dense dark clouds, the stars and the moon cannot be seen, and the white warning lights on tall buildings in the distance hang fearlessly in the sky, dizzying the surrounding clouds It was a bit miserable.

There was a slight crack in the door, and light came in fragmentarily, cutting the entire shadow on the floor to pieces. Looking out from the crack in the door, one could see a messy living room, which was the battlefield after the war Before the four disappeared, Chen Ying's parents had a big fight there. Teacups, photo frames, and vases all became victims without exception. Chen Ying listened to the sound of those fragile objects being smashed in the small room. , want to cry for no reason.

It's a quarrel, but it's actually mother's unilateral venting. Dad seems to want to start a business with someone else, but in the end, he was cheated by his "good brother" for more than ten years. Most of the family savings, 20, is definitely not a small The number, that seems to be all the preparations my mother wants to make for her admission to college.

In order to save this money, Chen Ying can imagine how hard her mother has put in, but she also understands what her father did. He has always wanted to do what he can for the family, although he doesn't know that " "Good friend" told him exactly what, but presumably he used a beautiful blueprint to deceive his father's feelings and win his trust.

After all, it's all for yourself.

The war lasted for nearly half an hour before it subsided slowly. Mother Lin Lin returned to her bedroom with a hoarse voice, while her father seemed to push the door and leave the house, and the lights in the living room were dimmed. It's been on like this all the time, and no one has turned it off.

Chen Ying couldn't fall asleep, so she got up from the bed, opened the window, and sat on the windowsill.

Sitting on a three-story building and looking down, the road in the distance turned into a narrow long strip, which was given a warm orange color under the illumination of the street lamps, and the sky was covered with rain. Two people without umbrellas The drunk man walked downstairs with his shoulders crossed, his shadow dragging long under the street lamp, swaying, singing a changed song of departure.

It was still hours before dawn, and the nights grew longer as we approached winter.The heavy darkness made Chen Ying a little out of breath. She didn't know if she could continue to go to school, or if she should continue to go to school after all. Hollow despair enveloped her gently, and soon engulfed her.

"Om - hum -"

The phone vibrated and a call came. Chen Ying picked it up and took a look. It was Wu Xin.

"Hey——what are you doing? Sitting alone on the windowsill in the middle of the night."

The boy on the other end of the phone lowered his voice, Chen Ying was slightly taken aback, then looked down at the flower bed below, and sure enough, Wu Xin was standing there with his mobile phone in his right hand and a black umbrella in his left hand.

Looking at the boy holding an umbrella downstairs, Chen Ying suddenly remembered that summer two years ago, they also had the same picture at that time, street lamps, evening wind, silhouettes under the street lamps, they have not become so alienated now Wu Xin didn't have any blue studs on his ears, his hair was still healthy black, and his body was full of vigor, and he hadn't been riddled with all kinds of malice.

However, those are long memories. Although two years is not long, it is definitely not short. For 16-year-old Chen Ying, that is one-eighth of her life. Therefore, after a short silence, She hung up the phone, rolled down from the window sill, and closed the window, leaving Wu Xin alone, standing under the light full of wind and rain.

"Ugh--"

The boy shrugged helplessly, sighed, and walked into the dark corridor.

At this moment, Gu Yuan also couldn't sleep.

The rainy night made his knees and ankles gradually intensify, even to the extent that it affected his normal thinking. With the feeling of slowly rubbing his nerves with a grinding wheel, it was difficult for him to sit comfortably on the 1.2-meter-wide bed in the dormitory. fall asleep.

As lightly as possible, Gu Yuan rolled over slowly from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and turned his head to look at the garden outside the corridor and the hillside behind the electric fence. A goat was slowly dangling back and forth on the muddy dirt road. He staggered, slipped before taking two steps, like a drunk old man.

Opening the drawer, he gently took out a Voltaren from inside, squeezed his thumb and forefinger, and the soft white ointment flowed out, Gu Yuan applied the ointment on the area in front of his knees and rubbed it slowly.

Gu Yuan's mind can't be free, and at this time, he thinks about Chen Ying again. Although he can't think of any effective solution until now, he still can't control himself.

Before meeting Chi Yu, he lived a free and lonely life. He grew up with his grandparents when he was a child, and returned to his parents after he went to middle school. However, the two of them often traveled on business, even if they stayed at home. Also leave early and return late.My father said that it was because I was in business and everything I got was my own. I worked so hard for myself, so I didn't feel tired at all, but Gu Yuan felt that this was all nonsense. Tiredness is tiredness, no matter what it is for. , Physical exhaustion cannot be concealed and erased.

In other words, he spends no more time with his parents than other people who are far away.

Therefore, he actually has no right to speak about the family conflicts that Chen Ying is experiencing.

Forget it, so be it.

After taking the medicine, Gu Yuan fell asleep.

When he walked to the fifth floor the next morning, he found Chen Ying and Liu Qingsi standing in the corridor talking.

It took several seconds for Gu Yuan, who was still awake, to realize that he was not dreaming. There were many people talking in the noisy classroom. Chen Ying stood between him and Liu Qingsi with her schoolbag on her back, with a calm expression on her face like It is a pool of stagnant water.

"Hi, you finally came to school, are you feeling better?"

Gu Yuan greeted Chen Ying with a smile, but only got the girl's silent nod. He raised his head to look at Liu Qingsi, only to see that this guy's face was also gloomy.

"I'm leaving?"

Chen Ying said softly to Liu Qingsi.

"Xiaoying, you...really think about it?"

"I didn't think about it." Chen Ying shook her head lightly, holding the shoulder strap of her schoolbag with both hands, "But, I have to make a choice."

After Chen Ying finished speaking, she went downstairs without looking back. Gu Yuan, who was left alone by the two, looked very embarrassed. He blinked, scratched his head, and then raised his own question.

"Think about... what are you thinking about?"

"Xiaoying is going to transfer schools."

"Ah, so that's the case." Gu Yuan nodded, and then suddenly realized, "Ah? Transferring? Why? Where are you going?"

"I don't know, there seems to be something wrong with their family, both economically and socially." Liu Qingsi kept her eyes on the stairs, which was the direction where Chen Ying's figure disappeared, "She came to say goodbye today, With me, and her good friend Roy."

"Say goodbye..." Gu Yuan pursed his lips, "Do I have to transfer schools?"

"It seems to be a decision made by her parents, and she can't change it."

"Is there no other way?"

"I can't think of it."

"How could this be..." The bun in his hand suddenly lost all flavor, Gu Yuan let out a sigh of relief, then wrapped up the unfinished breakfast and prepared to throw it away later.The rain outside the corridor is still falling, this weather is really a ghost.

"Go! Let's go find Chen Ge."

Liu Qingsi suddenly seemed to have made up her mind, grabbed Gu Yuan's hand and started running towards the teacher's office building.

"Eh? Looking for Chen Ge? Wait! Wait, wait..." Gu Yuan tried his best to stop his leaning body, regained his footing on the stairs, and flung Liu Qing away from the surprised or gossiping eyes of many classmates. Si's hand, "Don't worry, at this point, he probably hasn't come yet, besides, even if we find him, so what?"

"He must have a way to help Chen Ying stay."

"Why do you trust him so much?"

"..."

There was silence for a while.

Liu Qingsi and Gu Yuan stood on steps of different heights, looking at each other's faces.

"There's no reason, I just think he must have a way."

Like an angry child, Liu Qingsi spoke forcefully.

"He's not omnipotent." Gu Yuan said, "And Qi, you don't have to be so anxious, even if you really want to leave, it's impossible for Chen Ying to disappear from this city without a trace after this morning. It's raining so hard. Calm down first. After the first class is over, let's go find him again. I will call Qi Yu and Feng Ziqiu together. If we discuss together, we may be able to come up with something useful Find a way."

"Well...you're right." Liu Qingsi seemed to have gradually escaped from her agitated state and regained her usual calmness, "Okay, after the first get out of class is over, we will gather here, no see Not scattered."

"Well, see you soon."

Gu Yuan nodded.

Anyway, in the physics class after the appointment, Gu Yuan didn’t listen to a single word. He just remembered the life of the German genius physicist Max Planck that the teacher mentioned casually when he and Qi Yu talked about it last time. , this physicist who used to look better than Pan An but later became disheveled, behind those two pictures of different people, actually corresponds to a very miserable life experience.

On October 1909, 10, Planck's wife died of tuberculosis. During the First World War, Planck's eldest son Karl died in the "meat grinder" battle of Verdun. His second son, Erwin, was killed in 17. Prisoner of the French army, her daughter Gretel died of dystocia in 1914. Her husband then married another daughter of Poulenc, Emma, ​​but unfortunately, Emma also left Poulenc in 1917 two years later because of dystocia. Rank.

It seems useless, but in class, students often unconsciously remember these seemingly useless information.

And it won't be forgotten after many years.

Will always remember.
