399 Go forward courageously
Clean and clear white shirt, simple and rustic acoustic guitar, warm and sparse dim lights, and an unadorned small stage.
There was nothing superfluous, but Heather couldn't move her eyes away, staring intently at the figure bathed in the light, as if the world outside the spotlight had fallen into darkness and everything was silent..
Everything was magnified to the extreme, but then shrunk to the extreme. She could clearly see the faint smile at the corner of her mouth, the strong fingers, and even the trajectory of the flying musical notes. Inexplicably, her vision was like this Blurred.
The cheerful guitar strings made the dust flying under the lights jump for joy, dancing with the joy and happiness in Renly's eyes, like penetrating through layers of clouds, passing through the white snow, traveling through the long winter, and the first ray of sunlight falling down was shocking. , announced the coming of spring, and in an instant, everything revived.
The whole pioneer village became brighter.
“Relying on each other closely, when you walk forward alone, the future will be full of thorns. If you lose your faith in the way forward, I will guide the way back. You just need to know that I will stand where I am, when the world is barren and empty, I will stay where I am.”
Heather just sat there in a daze, the graceful and beautiful lyrics flowing in her ears like gurgling spring water, but it set off a storm deep in her heart. He knew, he knew everything.
He knew that she was walking alone, groping aimlessly in the darkness; he knew that she was so scared alone, that the long winter seemed to never end in sight, and she could not find the way forward. ; He knew that she was tired, panicked, and in pain; he also knew that there was a moment when she really wanted to give up..
But he always stood where he was, never and never would leave.
“I will tell you: My beloved, don’t worry anymore. When the world is freezing cold and your heart is heavy, I will hug you warmly and never let go. Never, until the blood dries up, I will stay with you. Don’t worry anymore. , I firmly believe that we will move forward courageously.”
She is not alone, she finally knows that she is not alone.
The loneliness reached the extreme, the darkness reached the extreme, and the confusion reached the extreme. She even gave up shouting. She was the only one left in the huge world. No one could hear her cry for help, and no one could understand her pain. Suddenly, I found that at the end of the horizon, there was someone who never left..
Bitterness and sweetness, sadness and happiness, pain and joy, mixed and contradictory emotions surged up at the same time. It was like a ball of cotton was blocked in the chest, making it hard to breathe..
“In recent days, I have been worried that I have made many mistakes and have been haunted by nightmares, unable to sleep. But your call came to my ears, 'I will stand where I am, even if the world is barren and empty, I will stay where I am..’”
Derek was suddenly stunned. Even before he realized it, tears had blurred his vision. The turbulent emotions almost made him breathless..
The heavy weight on his shoulders almost crushed him. He was always worried that he was not doing well enough, always afraid that he missed Heather's life, always afraid that the existing happiness would suddenly disappear, but , the tighter he held his hands, the faster the gravel on his fingertips slipped away. The unlandable nothingness was like a demon, almost swallowing him up..
“You told me: My beloved, don’t worry anymore. When the world is freezing cold and my heart is heavy, I will hug you warmly and never let go. Never, until the blood dries up, I will stay with you. Don’t worry anymore. , I firmly believe that we will move forward courageously.”
Derek's eyes fell on Heather's thin shoulders, which were so thin that they seemed to be blown away by the wind; the long, silky hair was slightly messy on his shoulders. He was always so clumsy, without any With Ellie's help, he couldn't even help Heather tie her hair properly..
He quietly raised his right hand and tried to put it on the shoulder, but he couldn't help but become timid and suddenly retracted it. Tears suddenly broke out and burst into tears. Everything happened so violently that he didn't even have time to react before they overflowed. Disaster struck, he turned his head hurriedly and wiped the tears on his cheeks in embarrassment, but he couldn't stop them at all..
Renly's fingers danced rapidly, and the melody gradually climbed higher along with the flying strings. His mood became more and more joyful, his voice became fuller and fuller, and the brisk rhythm ran wildly on the peak of the bright sunshine, as if he could see the light glide by. The trajectory is magnificent.
“I firmly believe that there will be no regrets in this life. Even if the scars are gone with the wind, you don’t have to be perfect, no one can do it; you never know where the rising tide will take us, and you never know where the falling tide will take us. Time brings separation, but I will stand where I am when the world is barren and empty.”
A faint warmth reverberates in the chest, and a slight happiness rises at the corner of the mouth. The bitterness, sadness and pain gradually disappear. The tears still can't stop, but when they fall on the tip of the tongue, the mouth is full of sweetness, as if the heavy fog has been cleared away. , the whole world became clearer; as if through layers of darkness, the entire field of vision became brighter.
Winter is over, spring is coming.
Heather laughed heartily, but her face was filled with tears, like a fool. Turning her head, she saw her father's embarrassment, and there were tears on her old cheeks. This was the first time she saw her father shed tears..
Ever since she became ill, her father had never shown vulnerability in front of her, not even a little bit. He always stood behind her silently, bearing everything, carrying the weight of the entire family, and continued to move forward, faltering, but never stop.
Derek was really embarrassed. He raised his hand to wipe the tears on his cheeks, but before he could wipe them clean, the tears fell down again. He felt ridiculous himself, so he couldn't help but laugh widely, hiding his embarrassment.
Then Derek saw that Heather raised her hand to wipe away the tears on his cheek. The soft little hands and warm touch made Derek stunned, and his eyes touched Heather's translucent pair of breasts. Behind the hazy tears in his eyes flashed a light of perseverance, instantly defeating Derek's last line of defense..
Derek turned his head and pressed his eyes hard with his palms to prevent tears from falling again. Renly's mellow and moving singing voice came to his ears. The melody was like the golden sunshine, gathering into a gurgling stream. , light up the whole world.
“My beloved, don’t worry anymore. When the world is freezing cold and my heart is heavy, I will hug you warmly and never let go. Never, until the blood dries up, I will stay with you. Don’t worry anymore. I firmly believe that we are will move forward courageously.”
Yes, I firmly believe that we will move forward courageously. Carry-On）.
Taking a deep breath, and another deep breath, Derek raised his head again. Heather was still looking at him with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. He showed a bright smile and leaned over awkwardly, wanting to give Heather a hug, but he didn't know what to do. What should I do? It's as if I'm worried that if I exert a little force, I will crush that thin body..
So, the hug finally turned into a pat on the shoulder. The palm like a cattail leaf gently fell on Heather's shoulder. It was light but heavy..
Heather smiled even more happily. She was not alone. She had never been alone. Then, Heather opened her arms and gave her father a hug. She hugged her father tightly, harder and harder. This warm embrace has been gone for a long time, but it still tastes the same as in my memory..
They will continue to move forward bravely. She will not give up, she knows, and neither will her father and mother..
Lily sat there and kept wiping her tears with paper towels, but she couldn't stop at all. In the end, she could only wipe them with her palms and wipe away the tears that fell from her eyes. The smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but rise and show off wantonly. The ground rises.
She took a deep look at Heather and Derek, who were hugging each other tightly, with a look of envy in her eyes..
She had never been close to her father. When she was five years old, her father divorced her mother. Three years later, her father remarried. Later, her father settled in Switzerland, and she and her mother settled in Los Angeles, and they could not see each other for a year. several times.
Turning her head, Lily looked at Renly in the center of the stage through the hazy tears. There was a cheerful smile on the corner of his mouth, shallow and faint, just like the golden sunshine falling on the white shirt in the afternoon. It's so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away, and even the halo of the spotlight becomes a foil..
He is the middle-aged man struggling on the edge of life and death in "Buried Alive". He is the brave and ordinary hero in the screening room. He is also the bard on the stage who writes poems with music. There are too many things gathered in him. There are so many mysteries that seem to be openly displayed to everyone, but nothing seems to be seen through..
Closing her eyes, she seemed to be able to smell the dry sunshine on Renly's body, mixed with the faint aroma of wood..
After the performance of the song, Renly let out a sigh of relief..
The regrets of the previous life and the persistence of this life finally turned into a smile at the corner of his mouth, blooming wantonly. He was lucky. He was never alone on the road of life. He was accompanied by his family in the previous life, and in this life With friends following him, he will not give up easily and will continue to move forward bravely..
He will realize his dream and enjoy his life. He firmly believes that.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Renly did not leave the stage in a hurry, and then performed three more songs before announcing the end of tonight's performance..
Upon seeing this, the audience reluctantly began to chant and request songs, from "Charlie Boy" to "Cleopatra", and some even requested "Your Bones". Unfortunately, Renly just Expressing his gratitude with a smile, he then left the stage with his guitar in hand, causing sighs of annoyance to come one after another..
After leaving the stage, Renly walked towards the table where Heather and others were sitting. Along the way, people kept saying hello, but Renly responded with ease, chatting and laughing. It seemed that everyone was taken care of, but he never stopped walking. Slowly, we arrived at our destination soon..
After everyone exchanged polite greetings, Derek and Heather were ready to say goodbye and leave..
