Chapter 8 green umbrella

One day Qu Feng opened the closet at home and found that there were more than a dozen umbrellas in it, all of which were the same, with dark green silk surfaces, like melted tree sap. He couldn't remember when he bought so many umbrellas, but he always bought them by himself, right?Maybe I forgot. Every time it rains, I think about buying an umbrella. I bought it and put it in the cupboard and then forgot. He was relieved, thinking that he had found a good explanation, but he didn't think about why it was such a coincidence that he bought the same umbrella every time.He is naturally forgetful, and everything is so-so.If he had been the kind of person who would think about such trivial things, maybe there wouldn't be those umbrellas.

There are always more than a dozen green umbrellas, all of which can cover the whole house. Umbrellas are always indispensable in the stories of ancient scholars and beauties: By the West Lake, the White Snake meets Xu Xian, and they get married by borrowing an umbrella; Liang Shanbo Zhu Yingtai sends her eighteen friends off, and once held a yellow paper umbrella; there is also a female ghost flying under an umbrella in Liaozhai... They are all fragrant and mesmerizing, like flying flowers and weak catkins, drifting in the rain. According to the legend, under each umbrella is a ghost who is returning to the sun, allowing them to walk around the world on a cloudy and rainy day, nostalgic or looking for someone.

This green umbrella covers Qu Feng and Xiao Lin at the moment. Xiao Lin held Qu Feng's arm, and the rain smeared his clothes wetly against his arm. The two people's body temperature could clearly perceive each other, merged, and gradually became indistinguishable.Occasionally, when I staggered my hands, a gust of cold wind blew by, and my arms were chilly, as if I had lost something. The world under the umbrella is so small, which makes it easy for people to feel the sentimentality of being together in the end of the world, and the faint joy with a sense of desolation, which is as clear as tea.Suddenly getting old and vicissitudes, seeing everything clearly, the more I regret the past time that I can't grasp, the more I have to cherish the only warmth in front of me.

But Xiao Lin's heart just felt cold, boundless cold, boundless like this endless rainy season. The person beside her refused to give her warmth. They walked in the rain, walked in each other's body temperature and their respective indifference, their bodies were close to each other, but their hearts were so far apart. Xiao Lin couldn't hold his breath for a while, and broke the deadlock and said, "It wasn't me, it was Shui'er." Qu Feng replied: "I don't mean to blame you, but I've always been afraid of meeting parents, besides, I don't know what identity to use to meet them, what to say, what attitude to put on..."

Kobayashi bit his lip, tears were about to come out.During these days, Shui'er had to mention Uncle Qu and Swan every day. Uncle Qu talked long and short about Uncle Qu, and finally everyone became curious and asked who Uncle Qu was.Xiao Lin couldn't hold back, and told the whole story about his relationship with Qu Feng, Lin's mother immediately took her heart, and proposed to invite Qu Feng to have dinner at home.But I just raised my head, Qu Feng has already refused a hundred times, and said unfeelingly, "I don't know what identity to use to meet", what identity?He simply denied that he was his boyfriend.

Originally, I made an appointment to watch a movie happily - Xiao Lin had heard of "A Chinese Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" that has been on the market for too long, and he also knew "your mother's name" and "give me a reason first" The classic dialogue, but I have never seen the movie. The students said that this kind of movie is to be enjoyed with the sweetheart, and it acts as an aphrodisiac while laughing. Love - Xiao Lin didn't hear anything at all during the second half.In her heart, there was only one thing on her mind: he didn't recognize her, their relationship, or their relationship.So, what is it between them?What is she?

Before the movie was over, she proposed to go home.After leaving the stage, he was afraid of going home, afraid of diluting the little bit of joy that had just been established, and always hoped that he would say something more, leave a good ending, and leave room for meeting each other.What's the point of breaking up like this?Shall we meet again tomorrow for lunch?When they are together, it looks strange; when they are not together, they are afraid that those goddamn girls will get suspicious.It would be fine if there weren't those eyes staring at it, but people live in crowds.When will this damn internship period end?I simply lived for this internship period, and their relationship was also continued for this internship period, and it continued so wrongly.

Xiao Lin lowered his head, remembering the first time his brother-in-law came to eat at home—because it was the first time he came to the house, he was too eager to please everyone, and distributed gifts like Santa Claus, everyone had a share.But the money is too tight. If you only buy one big gift, it will look shabby when you disperse it. He knows it himself, so he is very embarrassed when distributing the gifts, and he dare not look directly at the recipients. A feeling of begging for mercy, giving something to someone is like begging for money - Xiaolin didn't know how long he smiled at his sister, but now thinking about it, he feels envious. The nervousness of his brother-in-law is because he cares, he cares too much about his sister She cared too much about her family, that's why she was so at a loss.

The style of music is free and easy, so calm and self-possessed.Of course he was calm, because he didn't care.He didn't bother to socialize with her family at all, "I don't know what capacity to use to see her", a complete and clean negation. The rain jumped off the edge of the umbrella, splashed down, and repeated the process tirelessly. Xiaolin saw a drop of water falling on the skirt of his clothes, it was not raindrops, but his own tears. She panicked, fearing that the tears would be seen by Qu Feng, Qu Feng doesn't like to take responsibility, if he sees her crying, he will feel very troubled and eager to get away, then they are really over.

If she wants him to be serious, she has to act as if she is not serious enough to him. She understands the reason, but it is too difficult to do. She hurriedly turned around to wipe away her tears, but Qu Feng had already seen it, and she was really troubled, and asked patiently, "Why are you crying?" "I watched a movie." Xiao Lin replied, with a forced smile, "My classmate said that everyone would cry a lot after watching "Moonlight Treasure Box". I still don't believe it..." Qu Feng said lightly: "I'd better borrow the disc some other day and watch it again."

Another day, Qu Feng bought the disc of "Moonlight Treasure Box" and came back, but he didn't invite Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin went home and told his mother that Qu Feng had agreed to come for dinner, but the regiment has been busy recently and the time has to be delayed.She refused to tell the truth, not only lying to her family, but also to herself—she wanted to believe that what she said was true.Qu Feng will come to the house for dinner, but the time is slightly delayed. Between a man and a woman, there is either love or desire, and one has to move forward, otherwise it probably won't last long.Xiao Lin felt that the road between himself and Qu Feng was coming to an end, and he returned to the original situation - indifferent, neither awkward nor awkward. If it weren't for the little angel Shui'er as a shield, maybe they would have died long ago. It was because of Shui'er that he found an excuse to stay with Qu Feng—in front of Shui'er, Qu Feng changed from his rough and undisciplined masculinity to careful and gentle, taking whatever he wanted, obeying everything he wanted, and treating girls with everything he wanted. wishes are fulfilled. Kobayashi really wishes he could have that kind of influence. But on the other hand, Qu Feng and Shui'er were too close, which made her feel uneasy while being grateful. He never simply regards the swan as a bird, nor regards Shui'er as a little girl. When talking to her, he has a gentle and solemn attitude, completely like treating a mature woman with thought and taste. The gifts he bought for her were never childish things like chocolate candy dolls, but a set of stamps, crystal vases, ribbons of various colors, crystal shoes, and a Cinderella skirt, which made her look like a princess. One day Xiao Lin stared at his niece, and suddenly found that she looked like a person: the proud swan princess Ruan Danbing. Qu Feng unknowingly disguises Shui'er as Ruan Danbing. Therefore, Xiaolin considered whether it is necessary to change his dressing taste and makeup style. He tried to buy new clothes several times, but he did not look the same. No matter how simple Dan Bing dressed, he was still luxurious; no matter how grandly Xiao Lin dressed, he was still modest. What is gorgeous is not clothes, but people's eyes. Dan Bing occupies an absolute dominant position spiritually, overwhelming all advantages.When she is on the stage, she is wearing a feather robe, dancing gracefully, attracting all eyes without saying a word, and becoming the absolute focus. Standing on a high stage, she dances so lightly and herself, independent of the world There is no dust, as if the stage is the whole world, and she is the center of the world, wherever the toes point, the follower lights will also shine, as if she can shine by herself - so silent and sensational, gorgeous and dizzy, The enchanting magic power is radiating, and Tsinghua's quiet beauty makes people breathless. Although Xiao Lin was reluctant, he finally had to admit that Dan Bing was beautiful, unique and inimitable. However, doubts and suspicions, Xiao Lin, Qu Feng, Shui Er and Swan, after all, have spent countless warm and sunny evenings together: when it rains, they sit in the living room and listen to music together; when the weather is fine, they go fishing in the park. Shui'er can't do too much strenuous exercise, but he likes the sun, flowers, and pure air.Maybe it's because she knows that all this will not last long for her, so she is very eager.In her eyes, there is always such a surprised and cherished look, which makes Qu Feng feel pity. Xiao Lin said: "Looking at Shui'er, one feels that life is too fragile and vulnerable; but looking at Shui'er, one feels that life is really precious and should be grasped." Qu Feng was busy baiting the fishhook, but didn't speak. Xiao Lin said again: "A few days ago, didn't you say that the property management office of the community came to you again? What are you going to do with the swan? Send it to the zoo or formally adopt it? I don't know if domestic swans are allowed as pets..." Looking at the song Feng's expression, and quickly said, "Hey, I know, you have to say it again, the swan is not a pet but a friend, but other people don't think so, after all, she is a bird, not a human; besides, even if it is a human, I also have to apply for a temporary residence permit, so I can’t just stay here.” "I said that I will let her fly when she recovers from her injuries." Qu Feng finally spoke, "But look at how much fun she has with Shui'er, I am willing to let her go, is Shui'er willing?" "You treat Shui'er much better than me." Xiao Lin said quietly. Qu Feng glanced at her, and threw out the fishing rod vigorously. Xiao Lin said again: "You treat the swan better than me." Qu Feng looked at the fish float, and answered irrelevantly: "This lake, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like Monet's lotus pond." Xiao Lin continued without interruption, "You to Ruan Danbing..." Qu Feng suddenly interrupted her: "I'm not as nice to you as I am to Dan Bing." He has never dated her, nor has he ever fished with her. Xiao Lin shook his head, and said slowly: "If it was me who became a vegetable, would you play the piano tirelessly for me?" Qu Feng looked at the shimmering lake, looked at the graceful lotus leaves and budding lotus arrows on the lake, and said word by word for a long time, "She became a vegetable for me." Xiao Lin suddenly fell silent. As a woman, Xiao Lin can roughly guess Dan Bing's unusual feelings for Qu Feng.No one can save someone so desperately, unless she values ​​that person's life more than her own. However, she didn't dare to reveal this meaning to Qu Feng, fearing that he would never let Dan Bing go.At the same time, she also doesn't know if she was the one who was on the stage and beside Qu Feng, when the headlights fell, would she have the courage to rush forward and sacrifice herself to save others. She loves music and hopes to live with him. "Living together" means to tie her "life" and his "life" together, but the premise is to "live".If facing death, would she still share it with him? She thought she didn't have the courage. But Dan Bing has it. Dan Bing died for Qu Feng. Life and death are God's business, but Dan Bing actually contends with God, using his own life to make a deal with God, exchanging Qu Feng's life. If it wasn't for love, Kobayashi couldn't think of any reason why a weak woman could have such courage. Qu Feng has no relatives, and the person who loves him the most is himself; the only person who loves Qu Feng more than himself is probably God; and the one who loves Qu Feng more than God is Ruan Danbing! By the lake, the water is bathing the swans, attracting countless children to watch. "Hey, swan, it's a real swan!" "She has a swan!" "Mom, I want it too, I want that swan!" They rushed up and asked Shui'er: "Is this swan yours?" "Does she listen to you?" "Won't she run away? Won't she fly away?" When they discovered that the swan could understand human speech , They were all surprised and envious, and chirped: "Oh my God, this is a genius swan!" "It's amazing, you can keep a swan as a companion!" "How can you have such a swan?" ?” “Can you let her play with us for a while?” “My name is Yuanyuan, what’s your name?” "My name is Shui'er." Shui'er's face was flushed with excitement, she was so majestic, she had a swan as a friend, and she was such a cute and smart swan. "My swans can dance!" she said, "and will act out the fairy tale 'The Nutcracker.' One Christmas night..." She learned and sold, and she copied the stories told to her by the genre to her new acquaintances. kids. Qu Feng heard it from a distance, and burst out laughing. Xiao Lin said with emotion: "It's rare to see Shui'er playing so happily, and it's rare to see you so happy." "What about you? Are you happy?" "I have to ask you." Xiao Lin smiled. "If you will be nice to me, I will be very happy." "Are you jealous? A swan's vinegar, a little girl's vinegar, or Dan Bing's vinegar?" "Both." Kobayashi replied honestly, raising his head and waiting, "If you pay too much attention to that fishing rod, I will also be jealous of the fishing rod." Qu Feng couldn't help but smile slightly, pulled Xiao Lin over, and gently bowed his head... In the distance, the laughter of children suddenly came.It turned out that it was Shui'er's story that reached the sweet ending.The children were all fascinated: "Really? Candy Kingdom? Chocolate Man?" "Really. Swans can dance." Shui'er said, fearing that people would not believe her, she put her arms around the swan's neck to discuss, "Can you show them the dance? Can you dance the kind of dance that you did at Uncle Qu's house that day? " Swan is also very excited. It has been a long time since I saw so many people, so many innocent and bright smiling faces, her desire to perform has come up again. She is born to live on the stage and live in the worship of the audience, as long as there is applause , there should be her dancing. She flew up, circling and dancing on the lake, making various postures of bowing and rising, sometimes she flapped her wings and soared straight to Jiuxiao, sometimes she folded her feathers and swam on the lake, sometimes she raised her head suddenly, and a spray of water splashed out in seven colors. The rainbow suddenly plunged into the lake and disappeared among the lotus flowers, but reappeared on the shore of the lake in a blink of an eye...Amidst the cheers of the children, she felt that her performance was more meaningful than ever, and more meaningful than that of the ten-thousand-person theater. The stage is brighter. The children yelled, jumped, and cheered, competing to exchange friendship with Shui'er, and took turns taking photos with the swans. Qu Feng also put away his fishing rod, joined the children's team, acted as a voluntary photographer and styling consultant for them, and kept commanding: "Come closer, and raise the swan's head higher!" "Yes, this kid laughed. Smile and look at the swan!" "Hold the swan's neck, it's okay, don't be afraid, she won't bite you!" "Great, smile, and get another one!" The swan meekly and cooperatively posed various poses for the children to take pictures, overlapping her smiling face with theirs, and those cheerful and carefree laughter infected her, and she also burst out laughing: "Quack quack ! quack quack!" The children were surprised to discover the new world again: "My God, she is laughing! How beautiful her laughter is!" The swan was overjoyed, someone finally found out that his own laughter sounded good too!Hmph, these children really know how to appreciate and are confidants!She laughed more indulgently: Quack!quack quack!Quack quack quack!
