Lingzi is not too cold today

Chapter 40 The Girl Called Lily
At dusk, the long street is slightly cold.

The streets are full of traffic and lights.

Gongsun Jin stood at the convenience store at the intersection and bought a can of beer.

Maybe it's because of the face of drinking, he doesn't like drinking.

Even if you drink, you will only drink the first sip.

Sitting on a bench by the side of the road, he pulled the tab, and snow-white hops came out.

After taking a sip, a little blush appeared on his face.

In the mist, he thought of a girl named Lily.

A person that he can't forget, but he can't see.

……

Lily is not beautiful, she is not tall, she has many freckles on her face, and her cheeks are always red, like apples.

In the eyes of many people, Lily is even a little ugly.

He thought so too when he first saw her.

It was the final exam of the second year of high school. Sitting in the first exam room, he saw this girl who was not very smart and not very good-looking walked in.

Poking two radish legs, a twisted braid dangled behind her head.

A very ordinary girl can't surprise anyone's youth.

The school he attended was the worst high school in that small county, only slightly better than the technical secondary school.

The students who get into this school are the abandoned students.

There are students fighting almost every day, and a large group of boys can always be seen smoking when they go to the toilet.

When the teacher is in class, he will always only talk to a few people, and the rest are playing with mobile phones and sleeping.

The target assigned to the school by the Education Bureau is that 60% of the students can be admitted to junior colleges.

Every year, some people in the school can be admitted to the undergraduate course, so every year the target is exceeded.

He and Lily are the slightly better-colored mud among those who are looked down upon by others.

The grades of the two of them are among the best in their grades, even though they can only be admitted to a public secondary school at most.

He remembered that one year the school had two first-year students in the college entrance examination, yes, there were only two first-year students.

Or the only two in recent years.

The school even posted a list of praises and let them wear hydrangeas to speak on stage.

When she was in the third grade of high school, Lily, an ordinary girl, was admitted as No.1 in the grade.

Only then did he start to notice her, the girl who ranked ahead of him.

The first time the two spoke was in the study room downstairs.

It was winter and it was snowing outside, and sitting on the bench in the study room was like sitting on ice cubes.

The wind was blowing in through the windows, and the students shrank like quails, and their hands were covered with chilblains.

The better-looking muds in the science class gathered together, happily discussing physics problems, their noses were red from the cold.

He was sitting alone in the corner, writing an English test paper, which was a cloze about Dove chocolate.

"Hey!"

With a soft and soft voice, the petite girl sat next to him and looked at him shyly.

He couldn't remember exactly what she said that day, but he only remembered that the first sentence she spoke was: "When Leon was preparing dessert, he wrote a few English letters DOVE with hot chocolate, which is the abbreviation of Do you love me. "

This is the translation of a passage in that cloze, and he happened to be stuck there.

Lili Wenwen is weak and has a nice voice, like a swaying wind chime.

It makes people have an urge to protect her.

Lily is the English class representative in the class, and her English is very good, so she taught him a lot, and the two of them gradually got to know each other like this.

Every day at noon, he is always the second to arrive at class and start brushing up questions.

Lily was the first to arrive.

The girls have their own small group, they like to study, and Lily, who is not good-looking, is not very popular.

She often chats with him.

Lily said she often noticed him when she was a freshman and sophomore in high school.

When she said this, her face was always very red. She didn't know if it was because of her good blood or because of something else.

The two became friends, and her QQ nickname is Lily.

He didn't have a mobile phone at that time, and he had to walk half an hour to the Internet cafe to chat with Lily when he came home from vacation.

She likes anime, especially Hayao Miyazaki's.

Spirited Away, Laputa in the Sky, The Wind Rises, My Neighbor Totoro... She recommended them to him.

Lily likes Totoro, so he also likes Totoro.

He also likes anime and recommended "[-] Centimeters Per Second" to Lily.

Lily said she liked the anime a lot but didn't like the ending.

After that, the two chatted almost every day.

He learned from Lily's words that Lily, like him, grew up with his grandparents and was an orphan with both parents.

The same unhappy childhood, the same family composition, the same growth experience, the same inferiority complex of a child from a poor family, he can always speak Lily's heart.

Lily said he understood her well.

He felt that Lily was another me in the world.

Lily was not beautiful, but she was hopelessly cute in his eyes.

When she laughed, her eyes would narrow into a slit, as if all the tenderness in the world lived in it.

He remembered how she was trotting and beckoning to him, smiling and shouting "wait for me", the two radish legs couldn't run fast.

Later, in the school sports meeting, she participated in the women's 800-meter race.

After the run, she asked him specifically if he cheered for her.

He said yes, but she didn't hear it.

It was a cloudy day, and Liu Ruiqi's cover of "Sunny Day" was playing on the playground.

Every time he heard that brisk prelude sounded in the radio room on campus, he would think of Lily smiling in front of him on that rainy day that disappeared.

So he likes to cover the song "Sunny Day" more than the original.

One day, a serious theft occurred in the student dormitory.

His roommate in the dormitory stole many people's mobile phones and charging treasures, and after being discovered, they stuffed them into his suitcase.

This incident caused a lot of trouble at the time, and everyone in the dormitory was alarmed, and the police even came downstairs.

He was taken to the class teacher's office for questioning, no matter how he explained, no one believed him.

When I met a classmate I met on the road, I always looked at him with scrutiny and questioning.

His family is very poor, and he has a share of the annual bursary.

So it doesn't seem incomprehensible for him to steal things.

After school at noon that day, he stayed in the classroom alone for a long time.

The classroom is on the fifth floor, and he looked down through the window.

At that height, there was an impulse that made him eager to fall down.

Somehow, he got close to it, stood on tiptoe, and spread his legs to climb over.

"Don't jump!"

The girl's voice in memory was crying.

He looked back and saw the girl with freckles on her face, with tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

"Don't jump...I...I need you."

She said, I need you.

That was the first time he had heard someone say that in the past 17 years.

She approached him cautiously, and stretched out her hand tremblingly, for fear that he would fall down.

Then he was thinking, if Lily hadn't called him back at that time.

He should really just jump off like that.

Later, the police checked the fingerprints on the mobile phone and returned his innocence. The classmate who stole was persuaded to leave, and the matter came to an end.

On New Year's Day, the hot pot cooking in the classroom was steaming.

He stood alone outside the railing, watching the fireworks in full bloom in the sky.

Lily came over with a large bowl of meat and handed it to him with a smile.

She didn't ask him why he was lonely, but just accompanied him quietly.

In the classroom, some people were playing and grabbing stools, some were playing with chalk and guessing, and some were singing with a microphone.

The smell of melon seeds and tangerines, and the smell of hot pot linger together.

The shy girl got up her courage, took his arm, and ordered a very old song.

A song that your peers can't help laughing at.

She stood on the podium, holding a microphone, looking at him beside her, smiling.

The lights shine on the colorful balloons, reflecting a colorful light.

Those lights floated on her blushing cheeks, and also floated on her smile.

The name of the song is called "Song of Thousand Thousands of Songs"

The night of the college entrance examination is approaching, and the cicadas are noisy.

Lily walked with him on the playground.

He said that he wanted to go to a place farther away, the farther the better.

Lily is a girl who misses home and doesn't want to be too far away from her grandparents.

She said that her lifelong dream is to have a small family of her own.

And he is a restless, wandering person.

But at that time, he really wanted to, really wanted to let go of the idea of ​​looking far away and stay with her.

The two walked around the playground several times and talked a lot.

The gardenias in the flower beds bloomed luxuriantly and were very fragrant.

Lily said something that was still fresh in his memory.

"Once you kiss someone, you want to marry him."

After graduation, he and Lily became one of the few students in the school who were admitted to a public university.

In a small county where educational resources are extremely scarce, and in a high school with the most backward teaching staff and learning atmosphere, it is extremely rare.

He did not go to other provinces, and both Lily and Lily stayed in this province to go to university, but in different cities.

On the day of Lily's school entrance banquet, he went to her home.

It was very hot in summer, he sat on the edge of her bed, Lily picked up a fan to fan him, and wiped the sweat from his face with a tissue.

He picked up the comb and combed her hair.

He also only combed Lily's hair.

On the day of reporting to the university, Lily went to the train station to see him off.

Before leaving, he asked her, "Can I kiss you?"

Lily blushed, didn't answer, just closed her eyes.

He leaned over and really wanted to kiss her.

But this girl once looked into his eyes seriously and said: "Once you kiss someone, you will want to marry him."

Lily is innocent and clean, as if she has never been polluted by this terrible world.

He is just a college student from a poor family, and he has to rely on loans to go to college.

How can such a penniless person be worthy of love?

He didn't dare to kiss her, but just touched his lips with his fingers, and then tapped her forehead lightly.

This was the most intimate gesture he had ever done to Lily.

He obviously liked her so much, but he never held her hand, nor kissed her, or even said "I like you".

A good girl like Lily deserves someone better.

She is such an innocent person, how much suffering will she suffer if she follows you.

Then, he boarded the green leather train alone.

The train whistle sounded.

The girl ran around the platform, and the little radish legs couldn't run fast.

While running, he waved at him.

The braids behind her head swayed in the wind.

Just like Audrey Hepburn's "Twilight Love", Hepburn chased the train in order to catch up with Cooper.

Lily told him more than once how much she liked Audrey Hepburn.

He later gave Lily a biography of Audrey Hepburn.

Lily gave him the novel "Five Centimeters Per Second".

The distance between the two schools is not too far, and it takes about half a day to go there and back.

If you really want to meet, you can still meet.

He is a very lazy person and can sleep in bed all day on weekends.

But in order to go to Lily's school to meet her, he can get up at five in the morning to wash and wash his hair.

After dressing up carefully, take the first school bus to Guanggu Square.

Because one day she couldn't sleep, she said to him: "At four o'clock in the morning, I saw that the Begonia flowers were still awake."

At that time, the subway had not yet reached Fozu Ridge, and his school was a new campus, outside the third ring road, and it took two hours to take a bus to go to Optics Valley.

It was dark when we went out and it was cold on the bus.

When I arrived at the subway station, I took the subway for more than an hour to Hankou Railway Station, then took the bullet train for half an hour to her city, and then took the bus for an hour to her school.

Is it worth spending so long just to meet her?
He didn't think about whether it was worth it or not, only whether he was willing or not.

Just like in [-] centimeters per second, the train was delayed when Akari and Guishu met, and they waited for a whole day.

But after the two met, everything felt worth it.

Perhaps it was a joke of fate, the ending of the two people was the same as "[-] Centimeters per Second".

Still, he remembers when she looked at him with tears in her eyes and said "I need you" to him.

And the song she sang with him on New Year's Day.

Even if many people will accompany me in the future, it will not be worth the time you spent with me.

No matter how many people you meet in the future, there will be no one like me.

Even if there are tens of thousands of songs in the future, it can't compare to the moment you sing with me.

Later he met many beautiful girls, each of them was prettier than Lily.

They can say nice words of love, wear white skirts, and put on pretty lipsticks.

They were all very good, but the one he liked was the girl with freckles who couldn't dress up and wasn't pretty.

"Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" has also become the song he listens to the most.

……

Under the influence of alcohol, Gongsun Jin's face turned crimson.

His voice suddenly became ethereal, as if he had returned to the time when Lily sang this song with him on New Year's Eve.

"Looking back slowly, the night that once belonged to each other."

"Honghong is still you, giving me the sunshine in my heart."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhang Yana froze.

This time, Gongsun Jin's feeling of singing is completely different from before.

Like a glass of sake, slightly intoxicating, but just right.

Emotional, but not superficial.

"It's like shedding silly tears, I hope you can be sympathetic and forgive me."

"Leaving you tomorrow morning, the road may be lonely and long."

"There's so much to tell in one instant."

"It's a pity that we are about to be on each side."

"I have to stare deeply at this moment."

"In the future, even if there are thousands of songs."

"Floating on my way in the distance."

"Even if there are thousands of evening stars in the future."

"Brighter than the moon tonight."

"It's not as beautiful as this night."

"It must not make me appreciate it any more."

"Ah because of you singing with me tonight."

After Gongsun Jin sang the song, she was stunned for a while.

Zhang Yana looked at him for a long time, then nodded in relief.

"You will definitely have a place in the music scene in the future."

The vocal part of Qianqianyu's song has finally been recorded.

After post-production, the song is ready for release.

"It's really not easy, our little Jin is amazing."

Shi Qing hugged Gongsun Jin's neck, very happy.

Gongsun Jin came back to his senses, and smiled in agreement.

"How about it? Take a student, do you mind?"

Shi Qing winked at Zhang Yana.

"Be my student, so-so."

Zhang Yana pretended to be disgusted.

"Haha, Xiao Jin, this is now your future teacher."

"Hello teacher."

"Ah."

Zhang Yana responded lightly, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she felt very comfortable.

When following Shi Qing back home, Gongsun Jin was a little depressed.

Shi Qing didn't ask the specific reason, but just played some of her own songs in the car music.

When I got home, I just opened the door and changed into slippers.

A petite figure bumped into his arms.

"whee!"

Zhuang Xiaoyu put his arms around Gongsun Jin's waist and began to dawdle affectionately.

"Brother, you are finally back!"

The temperature in his arms is very real, and the room also exudes a reassuring temperature.

Gongsun Jin became in a better mood, hugged Zhuang Xiaoyu and scratched her armpit.

"Whee!"

The little girl twisted like a fish, giggling.

The ingredients in the refrigerator were extremely rich, and he cooked two more dishes, and the atmosphere on the table was very harmonious.

Zhuang Xiaomeng handed him a check while eating.

"Give."

"what is this?"

"The compensation for the air crash, my mother hired a lawyer to help you get it back."

When Zhuang Xiaomeng said the word "air crash", his voice dropped significantly, a little unnaturally.

After Gongsun Jin told her about it that day, she immediately told Shi Qing.

Shi Qing used her connections to find a well-known lawyer in the industry to get the money back.

Gongsun Jin took the check and was speechless for a long time.

It turns out that there are still people who will remember his casual words.
