Day 1
Ruan Ye has been absent-minded since he came back, but Fu Xingchuan is in a good mood.
Zhu Changyu slept for a long time. When he woke up, Lin Luo and Tong Yun were still doing their homework. He whispered to Fu Xingchuan, who was reading a book beside him, "Fu Xingchuan, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that I didn't get into university and had to go back to my hometown to feed pigs."
Fu Xingchuan didn't look at him. His eyes fell on the book and he replied calmly, "Very good."
Zhu Changyu leaned over and asked, "Haven't you seen this already?"
"Good."
"Good what?"
Fu Xingchuan finally came back to his senses and resumed his normal tone, "You slept quite well, from 11am to 6pm. Do you really think this is your home?"
"Good brothers, why divide your home and my home?"
"Brother, if you don't work hard, I'll personally send you back to your hometown to feed the pigs. Isn't that enough loyalty?"
"Enough, enough, enough. Starting tomorrow, I will work hard." He raised his hand and swore. Tong Yun finished the physics test, looked up, looked at Zhu Changyu across from him, and handed him a candy. "Dreams are the opposite of reality."
"Thank you." Zhu Changyu took it and noticed that Tong Yun's hands did not match her appearance at all. Not only were they bony and rough, but also, perhaps because she had written too many words, her middle finger was a little deformed and covered with thick calluses.
Tong Yun packed her schoolbag and saw Lin Luo doing her English homework. She noticed that she had misspelled a word and reminded her, "It's flipped, which means to press, open, or flip."
"Oh." Lin Luo used a red pen to change her original answer, and then she realized that the light in the room had dimmed and the sun was about to set.
"I have to go." The family savings have been used up on grandma's medical treatment, and Tong Yun now relies on herself to earn her living expenses by washing dishes in a restaurant.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"Um."
"I have to go too. Where is your home? I'll take you home on the way!" Before waiting for an answer, Zhu Changyu picked up the small electric scooter key on the table. There was a cute Zhu Bajie key chain hanging on it. It was a gift from Xu Yangyang on his last birthday.
"No thanks." Tong Yun refused instinctively. She didn't like owing favors to others.
"You don't believe in my driving skills"
"no."
"That's all." Zhu Changyu took her as her tacit agreement to take the bus and said, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Lin Luo said goodbye to them. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Fu Xingchuan nod. Just as she was about to speak to him, she realized Ruan Ye was there besides them. His face was as dark as a cloud, and it looked like thunder and lightning were about to rain down.
Lin Xi swallowed her words and lowered her head to pack her things. The red word stood out particularly brightly among the black words.
Flipped
Three years later, her roommate shared an American movie "The Fault in Our Stars" with her. Looking at the familiar word, while marveling at its other god-level translation, she fell into memories and wanted to ask Fu Xingchuan if he felt his heart beating the moment his fingertips touched hers.
"Lin Luo, have dinner before you leave!" Grandma called out to her as she was walking out in a daze.
She declined, "It's no trouble. Mom is waiting for me at home."
"Oh well."
Lin Luo and Ruan Ye went out together, Fu Xingchuan followed them, and Zhu Sui'an just came back. "I saw Tong Yun sitting in the back seat of Zhu Changyu at the door. His electric scooter is pretty cool."
Fu Xingchuan asked her, "Did you have fun?"
"Yeah, I'm super happy." She didn't notice that her shoelaces were loose and she accidentally stepped on them and tripped. Ruan Ye supported her.
"Thank you." Who made him angry? Why is his face so sour? Zhu Sui'an stood up straight immediately, and Ruan Ye put his hand down.
He strode out, and Lin Luo said goodbye to them and hurried after him, "Ruan Ye, wait for me."
"If my mother sees that we don't go home together, she will suspect that I went out to play and lied to her about tutoring." She felt that Du Yunyan was really capable of doing such a thing.
Fu Xingchuan watched as Lin Luo's schoolbag swayed from side to side as she ran, and his left hand suddenly seemed to become weak and dropped in the air.
"You are so reluctant to leave your good friend." Zhu Sui'an saw that he was looking out the door and thought he was blocking the way, so he pushed him away.
Fu Xingchuan didn't move and continued to block her way. "Can you break up with Zhong Qing?"
"Why should I break up with him? Simply because you hate him." Zhu Sui'an frowned.
"Haven't you seen how much he's been having fun over the years? Did you know he almost killed someone while driving drunk yesterday? You want a relationship, fine. But wouldn't it be better to find someone who truly loves you?"
“How do I know who really likes me?”
"You should observe more, or you can find a good person to develop a relationship with first." Fu Xingchuan touched his nose, "Isn't it said that the best people are right next to you?"
"Who is next to me?" She searched for heads in her mind.
"For example...Ruan Ye." Fu Xingchuan said gritting his teeth.
"He can't." Zhu Sui'an walked through the small area beside him, and Fu Xingchuan chased her, "Why not?"
"I know you like your friend Ruan Ye very much, and I understand your desire for us to develop a relationship, but I can't. I'm afraid of him."
Fu Xingchuan asked seriously, "What are you afraid of? Has he bullied you before?"
"No, I just don't know why I'm afraid of him. Maybe it's just that our auras don't match."
Damn it, Ruan Ye is so useless. How could Lin Luo be so blind to fall for him? Fu Xingchuan sighed, "Let's ignore everything else. Can you break up with Zhong Qing?"
Back to the original question, Zhu Sui'an answered him with her makeup removed: "Sure! I'll dump him after I play with him for two more days."
Fu Xingchuan didn't expect her to agree so quickly. "Didn't you have fun today? Are you willing to..."
"I didn't see him at all today. He suddenly stood me up and went to the amusement park with his ex-girlfriend. I was happy because I bought a lot of beautiful bags and jewelry today, not because of him!" Zhu Sui'an said and rinsed his face with water.
Ruan Ye was in a bad mood today.
Fu Xingchuan fell into deep thought, his eyes falling on the stream of water pouring out of the faucet. The sound of the water was very relaxing, as if it could wash away all his worries.
"It's raining." Studying day after day made Zhu Changyu restless. He looked out the window and saw a light rain. No one noticed it except him.
Lin Luo was practicing a large math problem on solid geometry. She drew countless shapes on her draft book with her pen, and she kept correcting and scribbling to find the best way to draw auxiliary lines.
Tong Yun was correcting her chemistry homework. There were many knowledge points, and she kept memorizing the chemical reaction equations over and over again.
Fu Xingchuan and Ruan Ye were discussing a final physics question. It seemed like there was a problem with the printing. They felt like the question was missing a condition, and they couldn't find a breakthrough point to solve the problem.
The sound of the dripping rain not only failed to relieve their stress but instead disturbed their thoughts. Suddenly, a white light flashed before their eyes, and Lin Luo hurriedly put down his pen and covered his ears.
“Boom—”
The rain outside the window became heavier, and the raindrops hit the window violently, the glass became hazy, and the dark clouds surged like surging waves, as if the sky would collapse and the world would be destroyed in the next second.
The door opened and Zhu Sui'an walked in. Grandma and Grandpa had gone on a trip, and Aunt Zhou had asked for leave. She must have been scared, but she stubbornly explained, "I'm so bored out here alone!"
She sat next to Tong Yun. A few dazzling lights flashed in the sky again. She was so scared that she hid in Tong Yun's arms.
Lin Luo covered her ears, and when the thunder stopped, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face.
She likes every rainstorm in the summer, and also likes the clear image of her lover in the out-of-focus world.
She looked at Fu Xingchuan, who turned his gaze away from the window and closed the homework book in his hand. "You can't leave."
"No way? You still have to learn." Zhu Changyu looked at him numbly, like a zombie whose energy had been drained away.
"Let's not study today. If we continue, there will be a murder in our family." Fu Xingchuan saw that he looked half dead, stood up and continued, "Let's go out and play for a while!"
Zhu Changyu's eyes lit up. Speaking of playing, an idea suddenly occurred to him. "Oh right, we can go to the piano room and have a small music concert. How about inviting three girls to be in the audience?"
"Rainy days accompanied by music, just think about it, my suggestion is not bad, right?"
The girls were of course very happy to agree, their eyes all fell on Ruan Ye, the key was to see if this guy was willing. Fu Xingchuan didn't even look at him and walked out directly. This guy was eager to show off in front of Zhu Sui'an, so how could he not agree.
As expected, Ruan Ye said calmly: "Good idea."
Lin Luo followed them into the piano room. The decoration of the piano room was the same as that of the study, with uniform wooden walls, octagonal windows, and warm lighting. There were many musical instruments in the room, including drums, bass, guitar, and piano.
The rain was still falling heavily outside the window, and the pleasant sound of piano and rain could be heard in the room. Fu Xingchuan sat on a high stool, holding a guitar, and played a melody casually.
After testing the sound, Fu Xingchuan looked over and asked, "What do you want to listen to?"
Without even thinking, Lin Qi said, "I have no choice."
Fu Xingchuan pouted his cheek and said suddenly, "You really like this song."
"No?"
"Okay." He didn't seem very willing.
Zhu Sui'an asked, "What's so special about this song?"
Lin Qi pursed her lips and looked at Fu Xingchuan. He replied, "Nothing special."
"No, it's very special. This is the song you sang the first time I saw you perform," Lin Luo retorted in her heart.
The three girls sat on the sofa, Lin Luo was sitting on the left by the window. The prelude sounded, followed by his low and gentle voice.
"I'm just afraid that I might fall in love with you myself, and maybe one day I won't be able to help myself."
"Missing you only makes me suffer. I have no choice but to fall in love with you."
…
She looked at Fu Xingchuan, as if the rain outside the window fell into her body and soaked her heart.
This time he sang the song "Love Is Not a Choice" for her.
They sang a few more songs, the rain gradually fading as they sang. Lin Luo heard a faint sob and turned to see that it was Tong Yun crying. Zhu Sui'an also heard it, and they asked together, "Why are you crying?"
Tong Yun choked up and said, "I miss grandma."
Lin Xiao wiped her tears with a tissue, and the music stopped. Zhu Changyu asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Zhu Sui'an didn't want to ruin the atmosphere or make it too sad. "The rain has stopped, let's change the last song to something more cheerful! Otherwise, we won't buy it."
"No problem, it won't be difficult for us." Zhu Changyu said confidently. He immediately changed the rhythm and played another song. Fu Xingchuan and Ruan Ye heard it and changed the tune to match him.
It rained
summer evening
I will look forward to it
…
This song was very popular in school some time ago, and they all knew how to sing it. Tong Yun stopped crying, and Zhu Sui'an started singing, and they followed along, and everyone sang together.
The first day I existed
The first time I could fly
Love is the magic of flying
The innocent colors of the first day
It is always so brilliant
Always so brilliant
"Woo~"
The singing stopped and everyone's faces were filled with smiles. Lin Luo once again felt that music is sometimes more powerful than words.
Fu Xingchuan and Zhu Sui'an sent them to the door. Ruan Ye seemed to have something to say. At this time, Zhu Sui'an's cell phone rang. He noticed that the note was Zhong Qing. He was speechless as if he had been punched.
Fu Xingchuan wanted to punch him when he saw Lin Qi waving at him because of his timid look, but when he saw Lin Qi waving at him, he realized that he was the same, so he loosened his fist and felt the same way about Ruan Ye.
Lin Luo took Tong Yun's hand and walked out of Changlin Lane with Zhu Changyu. Du Yunyan said that Tang Heng thought the plaster she bought last time was effective and asked her to take one back in the evening.
Lin Luo suddenly remembered something and asked Tong Yun, "Don't you have to go to the restaurant today?"
"Well, the boss is out having fun and the store is closed for the next few days."
"oh."
"Then I'll take you home today." Zhu Changyu took out the key from his bag.
Lin Luo found that the keychain was missing. "I remember you had a cute keychain hanging on your keys last time. Why did you take it off?"
"Don't mention it. I don't know where it fell. If Xu Yangyang knew, she would definitely complain about it." Zhu Changyu recalled that he seemed to have not seen Tong Yun since he sent him to the restaurant last time. He wondered if it fell on the road that time.
"Is that so?" Lin Luo inexplicably thought of someone and asked Zhu Changyu indirectly, "Has your band ever had girls?"
"Yes." Zhu Changyu paused, "Why are you asking this?"
“I just think it’s nice to have girls’ voices join in.”
"Yes, I used to think so too, and then I hired a girl. She was very good at playing instruments and singing, but her character was not very good."
Lin Qi held her breath as he continued, "That girl liked Fu Xingchuan, but he wasn't interested. One time, a performance was very successful, and everyone was celebrating at the bar. The girl took advantage of Fu Xingchuan being drunk and tried to do something bad to him. Fortunately, he wasn't completely drunk, so she didn't succeed."
He rarely called Fu Xingchuan "Brother Chuan", as if he felt guilty.
It turned out that it was not a kiss, she had misunderstood. Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but was not happy.
