wild ambition

Chapter 47
Two rows of street lamps stood at equal intervals on the road. The weather was warm, and there were a few tables at the entrance of the street snack bar. Several people crowded together, drinking and eating lively.

Shi Yun searched for the sound of the music restlessly, and realized that Zhou Yisui had been following her, and his palms were sweating.

Her stupid words kept lingering in her ears, making her ignore the darkness of the night.

Just when she was distracted, she felt a pulling force on her arm, and a familiar smell filled her nose, like an anesthetic, paralyzing her brain.

"Be careful." Zhou Yisui's voice was a little low, as if deliberately suppressing his tone.

Shi Yun breathed a sigh of relief, watching the oversized golden retriever walk past her leisurely.

The other end of the leash around the golden retriever's neck was pulled by a young woman with long black hair. She pursed her lips and smiled to express her apology. The man next to her was holding her shoulders. It should be a nearby resident. The man stepped on his feet. wearing slippers.

Shi Yun put his heart down and followed the passing couples with his eyes. The two cuddled each other, and the dog was very obedient. The peaceful appearance of these years is really enviable.

"exactly."

Just as she was feeling emotional, such an endless sentence suddenly came to her ear.

Seeing Shi Yun's confusion, Zhou Yisui explained: "You said at the time that there is no such thing as a completely dark night. At night, there are couples walking their dogs, children playing around, and old people cuddling together for a walk."

Shi Yun watched his lips open and close, repeating what she said at that time, as if a feather had floated out of his heart, brushing it lightly, tickling.

She was a little happy, her eyes reflected the lights on the side of the road, they were dark and bright, and even her voice was a little brisk, "So you remember what I said."

Zhou Yisui's face was unnatural, and he said lightly: "I have a good memory."

"However, what I said may not be comprehensive." She smiled, and continued with Zhou Yisui's puzzled eyes, "The people walking the dog are not necessarily couples, they may also be lovers."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yun saw Zhou Yisui frowned slightly.

"It's not husband and wife, living together?" His eyes drifted to the two people who were gradually disappearing, and he seemed to feel an unusual curiosity about their relationship.

"That's right!" Zhou Yisui probably still thought conservatively, so she explained shallowly, "It's just that two people live together, it's easier to develop a relationship."

"Living together and cultivating?"

As soon as he said this, Shi Yun didn't know whether Zhou Yisui was wrong or not, anyway, she was wrong.

He quickly pulled Zhou Yisui's wrist and strode forward, "Okay, don't think about these issues that have nothing to do with us."

The People's Park is very large, with green plants accounting for most of it. Holly and shrubs surround the road on both sides. The stone path is very narrow. Two people pass through it. It is a square and the source of music.

With the rhythm of the music, a dozen men and women in their 50s were shaking the flower fans in their hands from side to side.

"Can you dance?" Shi Yun suddenly said, but his eyes kept falling on the group of people dancing in front of him.

"what?"

Shi Yun tilted his head, "Square dancing, can you do it?"

Zhou Yisui pursed his lips, watched their movements, and shook his head hesitantly, as if he had made a well-thought-out response.

He has no talent for dancing at all, and he didn't work hard in the later stage.

Shi Yun sighed, "Zhou Yisui, you can't do it, no one wants to play with you when you get old."

"There is no one now."

He replied casually, but his thoughts drifted from here to Zhengyang Town, where he was also excluded, and the only friend was Lu Jian, and Shi Wei was still familiar.

But here, he laughed at himself.

"Yes! Me!"

Zhou Yisui's self-deprecating mouth hadn't had time to put it away, but when Shi Yun said this, the hole in his heart seemed to be filled again.

In Shi Yun's mind, Zhou Yisui had always been her friend, so he didn't expect him to say that, and his expression became a little serious.

She said, "Zhou Yisui, don't you consider me a friend?"

Zhou Yisui couldn't bear such a straightforward and enthusiastic look from her, so he dodged it guiltily, and said a word in a hoarse voice: "Dang."

"Then why do you still say such sad things?" She questioned, not like the usual kind words, but Zhou Yisui didn't feel disgusted, and she was a little happy.

"Huh?" Shi Yun didn't seem to intend to let him go like this, pressing on step by step.

"Because—" those broken pictures flashed in his mind, and he lowered his eyes so that people could not see his emotions clearly. After a long pause, he said, "I think maybe I am not worthy."

Looking at his expression and listening to what he said, Shi Yun felt as if a small gash had been cut in his heart with the tip of a knife, squeezing blood little by little, making him extremely uncomfortable.

In the town, Zhou Yisui had a bad temper and a ruthless temper. He never felt that he was inferior, but in the short period of more than a month in Meishi, he put himself in the dust.

"Why do you think so?" She seemed to be complaining.

Shi Yun didn't know what happened when she left, and he didn't know how to comfort Zhou Yisui now.

"Zhou Yisui." She softly called his name, saw him look up, she continued: "Have you read Tagore's "Flying Birds"?"

"I have heard." When I was in Chinese class, the teacher was a crazy fan of Tagore.

"Then I don't know if you've heard a line like this: 'The world kisses me badly, but I return it with a song'."

Seeing Zhou Yisui pondering, she explained: "This sentence means that even if the world gives me a lot of pain and suffering, I can still repay the world with singing, and face those pain and suffering with a beautiful and positive attitude. All these pains and tribulations are designed to bring us back from the ashes."

"Really?" His eyes were loose, as if he was looking at her, but he didn't seem to be looking at her, "Isn't this expressing dissatisfaction with reality, hatred of those pains and sufferings, satirizing the world, and letting a person experience So much, but still want him to repay, and face all the malice in this world with a grateful heart?"

"This" she was silent, this should be a dialectical question in itself, her point of view is correct, but Zhou Yisui's point of view is certainly not unreasonable.

"So—" Zhou Yisui was facing her directly, his eyes were deep and bottomless, and his black pupils seemed to be sucking people in, "Shi Yun, do you think I should repay her with a song?"

"I" she hesitated.

Shouldn't it?No, what was her original intention for saying this?Why was Zhou Yisui led him away?

"what happened?"

Shi Yun came back to his senses, "It's okay. I don't think it should be possible to repay it with a song."

She was persuaded.

But in the next second, Zhou Yisui suddenly said, "I think it's okay!"

"Ah?" She was full of puzzlement, and her eyes were also mixed with shock.

Only Zhou Yisui said slowly: "Because I think what you said has some truth, it seems that it is not impossible to repay it with a song."

　Shi Yun: A fickle man.

　　Zhou Yisui: Actually, what I want to say is that if you go up and dance, I think it is not impossible to reciprocate with a song.

　　Joe: Since yesterday, I wanted my fourth son to do a square dance to cheer everyone up, but it was rejected.
