597 Set sail
They are just a group of children. They don’t understand anything, but they understand everything.
Renly looked down at his palm. There was a small Captain America doll in it, the size of a finger. This was given to him by Alex just before he left the ward. His bright eyes were covered with tears. Light, with smiles on his face, said, "Renly, tell me, will I become as strong as Captain America?"？”
The slightly trembling little hand tightly grasped Renly's palm, revealing the fear in his heart, but he was stubbornly unwilling to say it out, just not wanting his parents to worry..
“No, it won't." Renly replied, "Because Alex is much stronger than Captain America. The real strength is not here." He pointed his finger at his heart, and then pointed at his brain, "And here. So, Alex is the strongest kid I know..”
He gently closed his palms. The plastic doll had sharp edges and corners, which made the tender flesh on his palms ache, but it was so real..
There was a trivial sound of footsteps rubbing against the ground, and then a figure sat down on the right side of the bench. It was Heather. However, she did not speak, she just looked at the scene in front of her, which was neither beautiful nor magnificent. The scenery allowed the silence to spread. After a while, he suddenly said, "Alex is in." Then there was silence again, and the voice was drowned in the strong wind of New York afternoon in the blink of an eye..
“This is a good thing." Renly said..
This is indeed a good thing. After waiting for three years, I finally found a matching heart, finally won the chance to get rid of congenital heart disease, and finally gained the possibility to officially start life. As long as the heart transplant is successful and the body will not reject it,.
Heather nodded and repeated, "That's a good thing.”
It's obviously a good thing, but the voice is trembling slightly. Any operation, even if it has a 99% success rate, still has a 1% chance of failure. For unlucky people, even a single episode of appendicitis may cause permanent problems. stay in that operating room.
Optimistic people see ninety-nine percent; pessimistic people see one percent. But in Renly's view, people with crystal clear minds see ninety percent. 9. People whose mentality has gone through vicissitudes of life see one percent. But those who are indifferent to life and death see a turning point in life. As for the scenery ahead, it does not matter..
After resurrecting his life, Renly still failed to see through it..
“This is a good thing." Heather repeated for the second time, and then the smile on her lips rose, "At least he got a chance to give it a try..”
Renly raised his head and looked at Heather. He had forgotten that for Heather, she didn't even have a chance to give it a try. However, there was no resentment or resentment between Heather's eyebrows. It is not vulgar, but the calmness and clarity of sparseness, just like the morning light that illuminates the green treetops in early spring..
Heather turned her head, met Renly's gaze, and showed a big smile, "The timetable is out." Renly didn't know why, and Heather then explained, "The audition timetable for 'American Idol' is officially came out.”
Renly's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, and joy spread like ripples in his eyes.，
“The first game is on the last Friday in September in Minnesota. I really want to go there." Heather crossed her arms and stretched. It was a bit difficult for her to do such a simple movement, and her fingers were slightly twisted. She couldn't straighten her arms, but she did it after all. "If I told my mother that I wanted to go to Minnesota to participate in the first audition, do you think she would nod and agree?"？”
Looking at Heather's bright and brisk smile, the corners of Renly's mouth couldn't help but raise. "You obviously already have the answer, why do you still come to ask me?" Ellie would agree, but only if the doctor nod.
Ellie and Derek both love Heather very much, but they have not lost their principles. They will not let Heather do whatever she wants because of Heather's illness, but they will not imprison her in a cage because of Heather's illness. Heather needs It's not special treatment, it's equal treatment. It's difficult, extremely difficult, but Ellie and Derek are working hard.
Heather rolled her eyes and complained mercilessly, "It's so boring." Renly didn't refute, just chuckled. Heather raised her chin high, "But I'm in a good mood today. I won’t argue with you. I’m going to participate in the audition in New Jersey. There is no audition venue in New York this year, but at the East-Rutherford Stadium in New Jersey.）.”
“Oh, the home stadium of the New York Giants." Renly reacted immediately. The New York Giants are a team in the American Football League and have won the league's highest honor, the Super Bowl, twice. "That stadium can accommodate more than 50,000 people, nearly Sixty thousand people. Huh, I can already foresee that the competition will be very fierce..”
After getting further detailed information about the audition, Heather's expression became excited, "Really? Do you think there will be a huge crowd of people at the venue? And the queue will last for several hours? Maybe the audition will take three days. !" Heather got excited and couldn't help but dance. "The audition is on February 13th, which is the penultimate stop of the entire audition. Do you think it's because of this?？”
Each audition may take three to five days because there are too many participants. Therefore, the auditions start from the last week of September and continue until January of the next year..
“Maybe." Renly shrugged, noncommittal, "February 13th, which means you only have four months left to practice hard. Are you sure you want to play and sing by yourself?？”
“If I don’t play and sing by myself, and I don’t have an accompaniment tape, what should I do? Heather looked at Renly with a look of resentment, condemning Renly's "irresponsibility" in and out of her words.”.
Heather had told Renly before that she decided to sing the song "Beast" and audition for "American Idol". For this reason, she had been practicing guitar for a long time as part of her rehabilitation life. However, time is passing. In four months, no one knows whether Heather's condition will worsen and whether she will be able to play the guitar completely in early February..
Heather wants to participate in her first audition in September. In addition to being uncontrollably excited, she also has this kind of worry deep in her heart..
“Are you sure? 'Beast' is not a song suitable for a singing competition." Renly expressed his concerns in a friendly manner, but he saw Heather twitching her lips with a look of "I'm not worried, what are you worried about?" The speechless expression caused the smile on Renly's lips to bloom, and slowly fell into the depths of his eyes, "Then, this gift comes just in time..”
Renly took off the satchel on his shoulder, took out the album inside, and handed it to Heather.
Heather took it in confusion and looked at it carefully. She didn't react at first, so she turned it over and looked at the back cover. Her eyes widened involuntarily, and she raised her head to look at Renly with surprise on her face, ecstatically. He looked at the expression on that face, and then found his answer in the clear eyebrows. A scream overflowed from the corner of his mouth, "Ah！”
Immediately afterwards, she bit her lower lip to prevent her emotions from completely losing control, but her hands and feet still couldn't help but began to tremble, and she tried her best to express her inner happiness. Turn to the cover again and take it seriously. I really looked at it and saw, "Don Quixote." I ran my fingertips thinly over the cover and murmured this familiar yet unfamiliar name in a low voice, as if I was chewing on the deep meaning behind this word. I was caught off guard and burst into tears. Damn.
Renly really didn't expect such a reaction. He hurriedly looked for something to wipe his tears, but found nothing..
Heather burst into laughter immediately afterwards. She looked so embarrassed while crying and laughing at the same time. She raised her energetic face, not hiding her tears or caring about her embarrassment, "Can you sign your autograph for me?"？”
Seeing Heather's tearful but proud expression, Renly chuckled and nodded, "Of course..”
Heather immediately tried to tear open the outer packaging of the album, but her fingers refused to obey her instructions and did not pull it open for a while. She was a little anxious, but did not ask Renly for help. Instead, she focused, seriously, and devotedly found the adhesive. Put it together, and then pull it apart, and the smile from the bottom of my heart rises.
Renly took the album and opened the inner page. He wrote a sentence in the blank space, and then signed his name. After writing, he handed it to Heather again..
Heather just watched intently, never wanting to leave the album, as if it was the most precious gift in the world, until she took the album, looked at the line of elegant fonts, and read it softly.
“To Heather Cross，
A tribute to those things that darkness can never take away from us, a tribute to those dreams that set sail. A warrior, a warrior, a dreamer, a lone Quixote..
Forever Renly - Hall, your companion.”
Heather smiled wildly, but she couldn't help but shed tears. These were tears of happiness, beautiful and sweet. She raised her head and glanced at Renly. Through her hazy sight, her smile was so deep. The ground remains in the depths of those smart eyes. Such Heather is so beautiful that the sixteen-year-old flower season is in full bloom..
Then, Heather lowered her head again and started to flip through the inner pages. She couldn't help but complain, "God, you are really low-key. I'm afraid someone knows that this is your album?" There were no photos of any people on the inner pages. , all of them are photos of Bulgari, including a guitar left alone on the ground in a rental house, a sea of people blurred in the light and shadow of the subway, and drunkards singing on the street at midnight...but there is no frontal view. face, let alone Renly.
“Secrets are reserved for those who are careful." Renly said with a smile..
Then Heather turned to the last page of the inside page.
A man is sitting cross-legged on the street in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. Behind him is a dilapidated stone wall bar. Next to it is a garbage truck and two homeless people lying in the corner. It looks like a mess, deep and dark. Gray walls, brick red roof, sea blue door, burgundy window lattice, stone gray floor.
The man was sitting on the street like this, wearing a white T-shirt and black jeans, with no extraneous attire on his body. He was simple and elegant, handsome and timeless. It seemed that when he just raised his head, the camera captured that moment, those bright and dazzling eyes. It left a mark in an instant.
That's Renly Hall.27
