Chapter 11 Chapter 9 Missing Love (Part 1)

When I woke up, I only knew that there was wind around me.His head became very confused, and it could even be said to be blank. The wind came from nowhere, and it became so strong without warning.For no reason, I sat alone on the hillside behind Yao's house and played the flute to the forest beneath my feet. I suddenly remembered that my father, a sour literati, once said that the sound of the flute is alive, and it affects the flute listener through the mood of the flute player.Dad's words are often far-fetched. As the saying goes, although dogs can't spit out ivory, sometimes dog teeth are quite valuable.At least that sentence makes sense to me.

For some reason, I was in a bad mood.Although the flute played in such a bad mood is loud, it is very chaotic, and it is difficult to get into tune. The wind is silently playing along with this extremely miserable flute sound, but its overwhelming power becomes so gentle at this moment, as if comforting a lost heart... Suddenly, I seemed to think of something, and I paused, only to realize that I had long forgotten when I started sitting in this ghost place, and my whole body was tired and irritable.I don't want to continue playing at all, but I still can't stop the flute near my mouth.

So the deep melody of the flute, which made my mood worse and worse, kept ringing between my breaths. Damn it!I don't know how long it took before this painful state stopped. I sighed a long time, and was about to shake off the flute that was killing me, but I didn't expect my hands to bring the flute to my mouth again. This time the sound of the flute suddenly became gentle, as if it wanted to compete with the wind.The abominable melody was gently blended into the wind, echoing over the forest. In the distance, the last gleam of red sent by the setting sun still faithfully illuminates the earth.The dim afterglow seemed to feel its lack of energy, and shyly hid behind the red-dyed tree.I looked over and couldn't help but admire.It was a tree that towered proudly and did not bend its waist in the strong wind. Even if its branches and leaves were violently lifted by the wind and torn away from the mother, it did not give in at all.

The sound of the flute changed another tune. I remember this melody, which is "Little Grass".Is there any mistake, how can I play this piece that I have almost only heard once or twice? After finally being able to move the flute away from my mouth, I stood up, panting heavily, and wanted to throw the flute far away. Just as I raised my hand, there was a burst of applause from behind. I was so scared that I almost fell down the hillside.I turned my head in surprise, only to find that Uncle Yao's family had all walked behind me, and Huang Shiya was standing beside them. Today she is wearing a white dress, her complexion is surprisingly fair.For some reason, she, who was originally very beautiful, appeared even more beautiful, and her body, which was full of bumps and convexities, gave people an indescribable attraction.And the most conspicuous thing is the big pink bow on her head, under the faint setting sun, it exudes a touching pale light.

Shi Ya chuckled at me with her hands behind her back, she is beautiful, really beautiful... "You play really well!" She praised, winked at me mischievously and said: "Didn't you always say that I couldn't find a trace of oriental girl charm on me, and I had to tie a bow to look good. Then Now?" Shiya lowered her head and shook her head gently. For some reason, I suddenly felt relieved, as if the things that had been stuffed in my heart for a long time were finally vomited out, and I felt much more comfortable.I moved my muscles and bones, straightened my already sore feet, and then slowly stood up.

"You two have a good talk, our light bulbs are about to flash!" Uncle Yao gave us a malicious look, smiled and pulled his wife and daughter into the house through the back door. I looked at Shiya amusedly, thinking when did my relationship with her become so good? I saw Huang Shiya rubbing the corner of her skirt uneasily, as if hesitating for something, she said after a long time: "Today is my birthday, I would like to invite you to the dance tonight. But if you are not free, I..." She didn't say any more because I lowered my head.Deep in my heart, there is something restless and ready to move, without any reason, I always feel that there seems to be something wrong with this harmonious state.

Shi Ya and I stood facing each other like this, it was like a life-and-death contest, who could keep silent for longer. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, constantly blowing Shiya's long white dress.She stood there blankly as if she didn't feel anything, her eyes began to turn red.I know this kind of situation well. Generally, in soap operas and youth idol dramas, as soon as the heroine shows such a pitiful look, she will definitely use the offensive of tears the next moment! I was always afraid of seeing a girl cry, and I immediately raised my hand in surrender and said, "I didn't say no, you know, I will never refuse the invitation of a beautiful girl!" I chose my words carefully, watching Looking at Huang Shiya's crying face, she said again: "You go to the car and wait for me first, I want to get something."

Since it's my birthday, of course I have to give a birthday present.I turned my back and tried my best to find all the pockets on my body, but in the end I only found a small boutique box.What the hell, when did I become penniless?Alas, there is no way!I looked around, randomly picked a passing stone on the ground and put it in a box, planning to use my super thick skin and three-inch tongue to fool me. "Is there anything that makes you unhappy? Your whistle today is full of melancholy." The car was driving on the road in the dark.It was dark all around, only the headlights struggling to cut through the night not far ahead.Huang Shiya in the car might be trying to break the dead silence between me and her, so she finally asked.

"It's not a big deal." I laughed awkwardly. Do I want to tell her that I'm vomiting with a flute that I can't get rid of?In order to change the topic, I handed her the birthday present I was going to fool her: "This is for you." "Ah! That's great, can I open it now?" Shi Ya happily held it with both hands. I coughed immediately: "It's better not to, it will be interesting to open this under the moonlight." "Okay... But you must accompany me when you open it." She smiled, like rippling autumn water, and at that moment, I seemed to feel that the whole car was lit up.

"Are you afraid that I will give you a Pandora box?" I also smiled, and deliberately turned my gaze to the star-studded night while smiling, thinking that she had better not have too much hope.Often the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If she saw that I dared to give her a small stone, would she chop me with a kitchen knife?According to that guy's usual personality, he probably would! But isn't her usual personality so gentle? The interior of the car returned to silence.Huang Shiya and I were silently thinking about our thoughts.Not long after, a house full of lights could be vaguely seen not far away.That's where Shiya held the dance tonight.

As soon as I walked in the door, I was startled by the noise in the room.The living room was full of music and they were dancing wildly.Shiya took my hand as a matter of course and walked among the crowd, introducing me to his friends. What happened to her today?Is there something wrong with my head?I feel more confused.It seems that Huang Shiya's original personality is gentle and generous, but I still feel that something is not right. "Hey, what are you thinking? I don't care about others!" Shiya pulled me out of the crowd, pointed to a group of sofas beside her and said, "Are you tired? Let's just sit there and have a rest." "You don't have to pay too much attention to me, go greet your friends." I reminded her kindly. "It's okay, they are very casual. Hehe, don't you want to be with me?" She smiled at me mysteriously, her eyes exuded a heart-pounding splendor.I froze for a moment, and sat down beside her obediently. "By the way, shall we dance together?" Huang Shiya looked at me and asked softly. "I can't jump." I hurriedly waved my hands. "But you play the flute so well!" "Miss! What does playing the flute well have anything to do with dancing?!" "Birds of a feather flock together! I don't care, I want to dance with you!" She almost dragged me onto the stage with a mischievous smile on her face.I sighed helplessly: "You will regret it." The music begins.I danced clumsily with the rhythm, not only made a lot of fools, but also stepped on Shiya's feet as frequently as I pressed C major when playing "Jingle Bells" on the piano.It made me want to walk away several times in shame, but was hugged tightly by her.Shiya endured my trampling, never humming.In the end, I simply leaned my head on my shoulder and said softly, "Don't panic, I'll count the beat for you, just dance to my voice..." After a century, or a second?I'm not sure, just know that a piece is finally over.Suddenly I felt very tired and hot, so I walked out of the house alone and walked to the back garden. The moon is very round, and it casts faint yellow light on the earth, covering everything on the earth with a layer of hazy mystery.There is a fountain not far away, and it is spraying water hard into the air at this time, as if it wants to shoot water to the moon. In this silence, the uneasy mood finally calmed down a little.I sat on the edge of the fountain and looked up, and started counting the stars.Until the sound of soft footsteps came. "I remember my grandma taught me to count the stars when I was a child. She said that this way I could forget all my irritability and unhappiness. Unfortunately, she died when I was six years old, in a dilapidated house next to the cowshed. It is said that she died peacefully. Yes. And I have been using this method all the time, only until now..." I sighed and stared at the sky full of stars.This piece of sky is rare to float above the footprints of civilization without being polluted, it is very pure, without any dirty feeling. The stars are constantly twinkling, as if telling me what has passed away, but what has been gained again.There is a long strip of light in the western sky, which is the Milky Way! "I haven't seen the Milky Way for more than six years. In my memory, it seems to have disappeared overnight." I lowered my head and silently stared at the water in the pool.Suddenly I felt very strange, what happened to me today, why did I become so sentimental? Shiya looked at me with concern, but didn't speak, just quietly listening to my complaints.It wasn't until I stopped talking that she looked at the moon above her head, took out the box from her skirt pocket and shook it in front of my eyes: "I can open it now!" I nodded, and was about to start babbling about how important and valuable that rock was to me, even though it looked mundane.But I heard Huang Shiya's exclamation of "Ah". "It's so beautiful!" It seems to be admiration from the heart.I looked over curiously, and suddenly froze with confusion.She saw a crystal clear round small stone lying flat in her hand, which shone with its own yellow light under the moonlight.Although it is dim, it is very strong, as if it contains some kind of powerful vitality. Even an idiot can see that it is not a stone that he picked up on the hillside at all!what the hell is it?Could it be that my piety touched God, and was it a miracle?Absolutely impossible, how can a lazy person like me be devout, not to mention that I have never been religious! No matter what he said, he coaxed the guy in front of him and said: "This is my lucky stone. It was originally a pair. But one of them I put it in the country. They have been with me for more than ten years. I hope you will I like it." I panicked without changing my face or heartbeat. Shiya was very happy, she couldn't put it down and put the stone in her hand and held it gently, that kind of cautious look was like holding a weak life.Then she looked at me with those clear and watery eyes, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I will cherish such a precious gift as I cherish my life." After this passage, she and I seemed to be unable to find a common topic, and fell silent with each other.It was quiet all around.The moonlight spilled lightly on the ground, as if telling the tenderness of the earth.There was a gust of wind blowing, and it easily blew the rose bushes not far away, rolling up a large number of red rose petals. I took a deep breath, only to feel the melancholy fragrance of roses filling my lungs. Shi Ya suddenly said: "If a girl said that she likes you, how would you respond?" She sat quietly to my left, showing a nonchalant face.I thought about it seriously, then looked back at her, stared into her shining eyes and said, "That depends on whether I like her." "Then do you have anyone you like?" She asked eagerly, but turned her face to the other side. I smiled, and slowly took out a coin and threw it into the water until the water wave slowly widened and finally disappeared.Then he said: "There used to be, but now there is no more." "What if the girl who told you that she likes you is me?" Shi Ya's eyes revealed a trace of joy and worry at the same time. "That depends on whether you are sincere." My heart beat violently. "I love you." Huang Shiya stood up and walked to me, she looked at me without blinking, her deep eyes exuded a touching beauty. I also stood up, and gently combed her long black hair with my hands, then hugged her roughly, and slowly approached her face.Shi Ya's breathing became rapid, she did not resist, nor did she intend to dodge.He just closed his eyes obediently.There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, a warm but weird smile. I laughed and pushed her away suddenly, and said loudly: "Although you are perfect, I will not love you!" Shi Ya's whole body was shocked, she opened her eyes in surprise, and cried out with a choked voice: "Why, I love you so much. I love you more than my own life. Why can't you love me?" I stared at her and snorted, "Because you are not Huang Shiya at all!"
