My distant uncle was an honest and simple countryman who had received help from my father in his early years. My uncle was worried that I would be scared at home alone, so he asked my aunt to accompany me for a few days. It was the busy farming season, and I couldn't bear to delay them because of my own affairs, so I sent my aunt back.
The house in Xingfu Community is an old house with two bedrooms and one living room. But without my father, my home seems so empty.
I couldn't fall asleep in bed, so I took out my phone and sent a Weibo post:
So many things have happened recently, and my heart feels like it is pierced by thorns! My father is gone, and my home is so quiet, so quiet that it is scary!
I turned on all the lights in the house, and they were blindingly bright. But the pitch-black night outside the window still frightened me. I was startled by the ringing of a message on my phone, and when I picked it up, it was a comment from An Ye Li on my Weibo. Now that I knew that An Ye Li was Li Ye, he was no longer hiding anything.
"Ping An, are you scared? Do you want me to call you and talk to you?"
I subconsciously still thought of him as Dark Night Li, and was not used to the fact that Dark Night Li was Li Ye, so I rejected him and replied: "Li Ye, just chat with me on WeChat."
"What's wrong Ping An? Why can't you sleep?"
"I'm not used to my dad not being around. I feel so tired, but I just can't fall asleep."
"Ping An, don't think too much. You can only rely on yourself now. Be braver in the future. No matter what, I will be with you."
"I know. Thank you, Li Ye! Thank you for your help during this period."
I sent a thank you emoji, and after a while Li Ye replied: "Yi Ping'an, you don't need to thank us if we're friends! You still have a long way to go, take good care of yourself. If you really can't sleep, go look at the stars outside. After my mom passed away, I couldn't sleep either, and I always looked at the stars when I missed her."
The sky on a summer night is really beautiful. People often say that every star in the sky was once every person on earth, and after death, they will become stars in the sky.
I stood in the yard and looked for them one by one. My neck was sore from tilting my head, but I still couldn't tell which one was the sun and which one was dad.
The news reported that there will be a Perseid meteor shower this month. I remember Jingyan once said that he would make a wish when he saw a shooting star . At that time, I was very disdainful. How could a sad deserter have the ability to fulfill other people's wishes?
Now, I wish a shooting star would appear and make a thousand and one wishes. I would rather lie to myself - shooting stars really can make wishes come true.
My father left me a sum of money, which was his life savings. The amount was beyond my imagination. Although my father earned a lot as a construction engineer, it was impossible for him to have so much money. Uncle Li told me that after my father found out that his disease could not be cured, he made arrangements for me. In addition to completing his own work, he also took on a lot of outside work.
Uncle Li also said that Dad came home so late every day in order to complete the project and get the money as soon as possible, because he was afraid that his body could not wait.
I suddenly understood that my father was not busy playing cards every day, but he knew about his illness and was making plans for my future.
I won't touch such a sum of money carelessly. I can't let my father down.
I promised my father that I would take good care of myself, so I eat, go to class, and study hard every day. During lunch break, I go to the street to hand out advertising flyers, and I will not quit my job at the cake shop for the time being.
Aunt Shen told me that He Xubei forgave her, and she promised He Xubei that she would never do such a thing again.
Jingyan always ignored me and even avoided my approach. I saw disgust, jealousy and hatred in her eyes.
I don’t know why there is “hate”, and I don’t know what I did wrong.
As the most beautiful girl in Y High School, even without Gu Feng, Jingyan would have no shortage of boys around her, but she didn't like any of the boys pursuing her. She said that all boys were bad, and that love was nothing. She would not take it seriously anymore.
But even if she said that, it still couldn't stop people from liking her.
There was nothing special about that afternoon. I just walked out of the classroom with the flyer and heard someone shouting Jingyan's name. At the school gate, someone was holding a banner and there were colorful balloons floating around. A boy was holding flowers and a loudspeaker and shouting towards the school.
Jingyan was surrounded by people and she looked at the boy with a smile more beautiful than a flower: "Lin Mingyang, are you confessing your love?"
At that moment, I thought the old Song Jingyan was back. She would be a pampered princess again. But I guessed the ending wrong.
I saw Jingyan's expression suddenly change. She picked up the bouquet and kept hitting the boy who confessed to her, saying, "I want you to confess! I want you to like me! Who wants you to like me? None of the guys are good. They only lie to me. Do you think I will still be serious about love?"
The boy who was beaten ran away with his head in his hands, and I rushed over and hugged Jingyan.
A romantic confession turned into a farce.
Jingyan broke away from me and pointed at me: "What are you doing here? Are you here to see a joke? It's fun, isn't it? See, even though I, Song Jingyan, was betrayed by Gu Feng, there are still people who like me, right?"
"Yanyan, I'm not laughing at you, I just want to know what happened between us? Why do you seem to hate me? Weren't we best friends before?" Song Jingyan, what happened between us?
"Haha, Yi Ping'an you idiot! Did I ever consider you as a friend?"
I have never felt that Song Jingyan's laughter could be so harsh. I saw her mouth opening and closing very quickly: "Yi Ping'an, I tell you, I have never regarded you as my best friend. I play with you because no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they need green leaves to set them off. Look at what you are like? How can you compare to me? I will never believe in anything in the future, and I will never take anything seriously. What bullshit friendship and love are all to hell! I don't want to play with you now, don't bother me in the future!"
I didn't expect Jingyan to say such things. I didn't expect her to make our former friendship sound so cheap.
I suddenly missed the princess that Gu Feng held in his palm. The princess in the fairy tale lived so happily after meeting the prince, but in reality, Gu Feng hurt Jingyan.
Guangliang sang that fairy tales are all lies, and I said, there is no fairy tale this summer at all.
