Chapter 27, I won't catch rainbows in the future (6k)
"Damn, the third child still has this skill?"
Among the crowd, Deng Haiyang's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
I originally thought that the third child was just going to go through the motions, but when I was selected, I actually sang an original song to express my love on such a high-profile occasion.
To be honest, Lao Deng didn't believe that any girl could withstand such a romantic blow.
"So, Old Dengtou, you still have a long way to go."
Wang Ming sighed quietly at the side, indicating something.
Deng Haiyang's eyes dimmed as he remembered something.
"Crack!"
As the crowd murmured, the lights on the stage dimmed.
Then a spotlight shone on Xiao Yi.
He sat down on the prepared chair.
There was no stage fright at all, and a calm and calm smile on his face.
But his eyes never stopped somewhere in the auditorium, he just looked at the guitar in his hand quietly.
The girls looked at him with admiration and curiosity in their eyes.
Most of the boys admired him.
Confession is a romantic yet cruel thing.
A two-way journey is romantic, and a hasty ending is naturally cruel.
And it is not uncommon to express your love during college.
It’s just that I have the courage to stand on such a big stage and express my feelings to a girl with my singing voice.
But few people do it, mostly because they don’t dare.
Many people may have fantasized about it, but they may not dare to implement it. Sometimes they just lack the slightest bit of courage.
But now that the fantasy has become reality, it has naturally aroused the restless hearts of countless young girls.
…………
The auditorium of Nuoda was silent.
Everyone is seriously waiting for the next performance.
Outside the house, the strong wind was blowing and the heavy rain was pouring.
Xiao Yi did not sing immediately.
Instead, he spoke softly with the portable microphone next to his mouth.
"The host just said that I wrote a song specially for a certain girl. Well...that's indeed what happened."
There was a burst of teasing laughter from the audience.
Even the successful people who were specially invited here had knowing smiles on their faces.
I have been ups and downs in the business world all day long, experiencing intrigues and intrigues. Now I suddenly returned to school, listening to the young man on the stage telling the love story between young people in a soft tone.
It always brings back many memories of the past without even realizing it.
Who hasn’t come from a young age?
The school leaders also listened with smiles and did not feel anything wrong with Xiao Yi's unruly method.
"She is very beautiful. When I first saw her, I couldn't take my eyes away. At that time, I was thinking that I would definitely fail college because I really couldn't concentrate on studying. All I could think about was that
The shadow of a person~"
The laughter from the audience became even louder.
The crowd's eyes were also looking somewhere invariably.
There, sitting was the coldest senior at Su University.
She is also the heroine in boys' stories.
"Yunqing, I'm so sad. If a boy confessed to me like this, I would definitely faint from happiness right now."
Qin Lu pouted, her big eyes full of envy.
Su Yunqing, on the other hand, clenched her little hands tightly.
The sweetness in her heart almost melted her.
In the past, she hated other people's eyes, but now in full view of everyone, she felt everyone looking at her with envy.
Su Yunqing felt an indescribable joy well up in her heart.
Only Su Yunqing on the side had a cold face and could not suppress the disgust in his eyes.
But she couldn't say anything in the current situation.
"So, I chose to take the initiative~"
The boy on the stage continued to speak in his gentle voice.
"As you can imagine, the result was that I was rejected again and again by her. At that time, I was thinking, would such a cold girl really like me?"
As soon as these words came out, many boys in the audience who had pursued Su Yunqing shook their heads helplessly.
Aren't their experiences the same as his?
But they are no longer qualified.
Because the inhumane and cold goddess in their hearts already has a home.
"The turning point of things started on a rainy day. It was raining heavily just like today, and I met her again at the door of the library."
"That was the first time I saw her smile. I was thinking at that time, it turns out icebergs can laugh too."
"As her smile appeared, the rain suddenly cleared and a colorful rainbow hung on the sky."
"Originally, I thought we had no chance, because she is just like that rainbow in my heart, far away in the horizon and untouchable."
"So I painted her smile and the untouchable rainbow with a brush, so that maybe I could hold her tightly in my hand."
Hearing these words, Su Yunqing's heartbeat in the audience tightened inexplicably.
painting?
call!
With a soft breath, Xiao Yi plucked the guitar strings with her fingertips, and then muttered quietly.
"But now I know, how can anyone catch a rainbow?"
"So I decided to give up."
"I will never catch rainbows again~"
Facing the stunned eyes of the audience, Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "Thank you everyone for listening to me nagging for so long. I would have given the next song to you if I had done it at that time."
After saying that, Xiao Yi closed her eyes, and an ethereal and sad melody flowed out from her fingers.
There was a slight commotion in the crowd.
Isn't that a confession?
Why don't these words sound like a confession at all?
This reversal was caught off guard, and many students who had read the program were even more surprised, because they knew that the song the boy was going to sing was not this song.
It's a song title that is full of passionate love just by looking at it.
The beauty of the world is closely related to you.
The subtle atmosphere spread, and the crowd suddenly discovered that the heroine of the story suddenly turned pale, while the mature woman next to her who was 70% similar to her had a slight curve on her lips.
Jiang Qingyi was a little distracted: "No...it's not this song."
Xiao Yi's unexpected words shocked Jiang Qingyi, and she felt even more incredible deep in her heart.
Obviously during yesterday's rehearsal, he still looked very nervous and looking forward to it.
But why did it suddenly become like this today?
Why did he say these things?
Why not catch the rainbow?
What happened between him and Yun Qing?
One doubt after another filled Jiang Qingyi's mind, causing her to look at Su Yunqing beside her involuntarily.
Then he saw his best friend's face was pale and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Yunqing, what happened to you and Xiao Yi?"
"He clearly said he wanted to confess to you today, and he specifically asked me to hide it from you because he wanted to give you a surprise."
Su Yunqing did not reply, but just sat blankly in his seat, looking at Xiao Yi on the stage without focus.
In my mind, I couldn't help but recall the scenes with him.
Under the dim light of the morning, two people were running side by side on the green grassy track.
In the library, under the warm afternoon light, I held a cup of fragrant tea and read through books filled with the fragrance of ink.
In the school doctor's office, he acted seriously and concerned.
In the cinema, under the ambiguous light, his unscrupulous eyes.
My vision was blurred, and finally they all converged into one painting.
In the painting, there is a rainbow hanging in the sky, and a boy holding an umbrella with a smile in his eyes under the rainbow.
"Do you want to take her back to raise her?"
"Yes, since fate has brought me and her together, how can I bear to leave her behind?"
No matter how dull Su Yunqing was, he still understood the meaning of Xiao Yi's words.
Did he give up on himself?
Is he going to abandon himself?
A heartbreaking pain surged through his limbs for no apparent reason.
The usual coldness is no longer there, and there is lingering panic and confusion on his face.
She didn't know why Xiao Yi suddenly said these words. She had been waiting for today for a long time.
She was ready to welcome his confession with enthusiasm.
Welcome their new future.
But why is this happening?
Perhaps, only she can know the answer.
At this time, Xiao Yi on the stage had already sang the chorus.
【The sky is gray and the rain is falling】
[My vision is going to be blurry]
【I feel your importance at this time】
【Love is gone and heart is gone】
[You said you were leaving]
【I sing the last ancient ballad for you】
Rather than singing, it would be more appropriate to describe it as narrating.
I sing the last ancient ballad for you.
Use the last song to end the impossible relationship between each other.
Make a break.
That sad emotion infected everyone present, making them feel sad and happy involuntarily.
Only now do they understand.
It turns out that it is not a so-called beautiful love story.
Just like what the boy said just now.
I thought I could catch the rainbow, but little did I know that the rainbow was far away in the horizon, so how could anyone possibly catch it.
So he gave up.
I don’t want to catch rainbows anymore.
Think about this song title again.
If at that time.
If I didn't have those unrealistic thoughts at the time, would the ending not be so sad?
Everyone has their own sad past, and when it comes to relationships, everyone will miss a few people they know are impossible.
But he still chooses to work hard regardless of his own safety, and he still chooses to be desperate, and in the end he can only be bruised and bruised.
Under the spotlight.
Xiao Yi's index finger fell on the strings, and wisps of sad melody poured out.
Following this, his tone suddenly became higher, as if he wanted to completely release the squeezed emotions in his heart through the song.
[The pouring red rain brings back memories, how to hide]
【Your eyes are as beautiful as before】
【Flowing in my heart】
[The last part of the river is sprinkled by the ferry]
【If I only met you for the first time】
[Why leave sentimentally]
Looking at Xiao Yi's cold and bloodless face on the stage, Jiang Qingyi suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and was almost out of breath.
These days, she has the most contact with Xiao Yi.
She spent all the rehearsals alone watching Xiao Yi play in front of her.
In a quiet music classroom.
The boy was sitting on a chair, holding a guitar, with his eyes lowered and his mouth gentle, singing "The Orioles Fly and the Grass Grows," and "The one you love is on the way."
That song should have been sung today for everyone to witness their sweet love story.
Rather than like now, the strong sadness is hovering in everyone's heart.
Gradually, the singing became lighter and gentler.
It seems to have come to an end.
And that boy seemed to have finally let go of everything and became relieved.
【If I only met you for the first time】
[Why leave sentimentally]
"Why?"
As if to respond to Xiao Yi's singing, Jiang Qingyi looked at Su Yunqing and asked again.
But Su Yunqing seemed to have lost her soul, sitting on the chair sluggishly without any response.
She looked at Xiao Yi on the stage, feeling the lyrics that turned into sharp swords, passing through her heart.
"Yeah...why...why?"
She murmured to herself, as if she was answering Jiang Qingyi or asking Xiao Yi.
Su Yunqing subconsciously touched her face, and suddenly realized that she had shed a lot of tears.
"Why on earth, why do you want to sing this song?"
She murmured intermittently, with a strong cry. Su Da Bingshan, who was cold, aloof, and unhuman in the eyes of everyone, had already broken down in tears.
Su Yunqing was frightened by her sister's appearance, and he hurriedly held her in his arms.
"Yunqing, why are you crying? Don't scare me."
The only answer she got was why.
Su Yunqing was completely panicked. She looked at her sister with cold hands and feet indifferently, feeling that for the first time she had never really understood her.
The song is over.
The music disappears.
The students who were immersed in the singing looked up and saw the boy on the stage sitting motionless on the chair.
After a few seconds, he suddenly laughed.
Even though they were far apart, people could feel the heartfelt warmth in his smile.
"Classmate, I have already told you that I have no intention of falling in love during college."
"He has a mouth, and I can't control it~"
"I want taro mud Bobo milk tea, not taro mud, not milk tea, I want Bobo~"
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Xiao Yi, I miss you~"
call!
It’s over~
Finally finished singing~
Smoothing the strings of the piano, Xiao Yi slowly stood up and looked at the audience with calm eyes.
Then bow.
The auditorium of Nuoda was silent, and everyone held their breath.
I should have ended the performance with a polite round of applause.
But at this time, everyone felt that applauding at this time was not a very friendly thing.
As if he understood their meaning, Xiao Yi bowed again and said softly.
"Thanks."
Then he turned around and walked backstage.
From beginning to end, his eyes did not stay in one place for a second.
As Xiao Yi left, it seemed as if someone had pressed the pause button in the auditorium of Nuo University.
Everyone's eyes were subconsciously looking somewhere.
That's where the heroine is.
Zhao Yaxin's eyes were complicated, Qin Lu's face was stunned, and Jiang Qingyi's eyes were panicked as never before.
As the protagonist, Su Yunqing fell into her sister's arms and burst into tears.
Suddenly.
She violently broke away from her sister's arms and ran towards the backstage regardless of her image.
———————
"Where is Xiao Yi? Where is Xiao Yi?"
Backstage, Su Yunqing seemed like a little girl who had lost her favorite toy. She was calling Xiao Yi's name in her sleep, eager to see that person.
The students in the background looked at each other in confusion, looking at the cold Su Da Gaoling Flower in the past with complicated eyes.
Finally, someone couldn't bear to remind me.
"He left through the back door."
"Left? Where did he go?"
"have no idea."
Without any time to think about anything, Su Yunqing hurriedly ran towards the back door.
Wearing high heels, she ran on the smooth floor, fearing that she would never see the person again after a second delay.
I accidentally fell to the ground again, and my ankle was twisted red by the high heels.
"careful!"
"Are you OK?"
The crowd exclaimed.
Looking at the pair of hands stretched out, Su Yunqing raised her head in surprise regardless of the pain.
But the person who would send her to the school doctor's office when she sprained her body never appeared again.
She stood up with a groan, and her slender body didn't know where the strength came from. Then she picked up two high heels in her hands and rushed into the endless rain curtain with her bare feet.
Her white dress was soaked by the rain, the makeup on her face was blurred, and her hair was disheveled. She looked ahead cautiously, then stopped in place while looking around blankly.
It rained heavily.
Misty rain turns into fog.
I can't tell the way forward at all.
She slowly fell to the ground, letting the ruthless rain wash over her body.
"Xiao Yi, where have you been? Come back, come back~"
The only answer she received was the sound of rain splashing on the ground.
The students in the background looked at the lost figure in the rain outside the window, and for some reason, they suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"Are they finished?"
someone asked.
"probably."
Someone answered.
At this moment, in the auditorium, the cheerful performance continued.
Outside the auditorium, there was a violent storm.
Separate the indoor and outdoor areas into two worlds.
Su Yunqing sat on the ground blankly, her vision blurred. She had never felt so cold.
The boundless cold, it was a bit of cold that was desperately digging in, as if it was cold to the bones, and every bone seemed to be brittle from the cold.
Every time I move, it feels like the pain of breaking bones, the pain is heartbreaking, the coldness is so cold that it penetrates into my bones. After a while, it turns into sudden severe pain. What's even more frightening is that I can't seem to move my hands and feet. It's so severe.
The pain seemed to crush her and break her.
"Sister~"
"Stop crying, I'll take you home, let's go home."
At some point, Su Yunqing came to her sister's side holding an umbrella. In the distance stood a group of people including Lao Deng and Jiang Qingyi.
"Sister, I seem to have lost him~"
"I lost him."
As if she had found her backbone, Su Yunqing could no longer hold back, threw herself into her sister's arms and cried loudly.
The rain mixed with tears, turning her into a drowned rat.
Just like the little kitten abandoned and shivering in the flower bed in front of the library.
At this moment.
Just like that time.
But there was no longer the person holding an umbrella for her, the heavy rain never stopped, and the rainbow was no longer there.
Su Yunqing suddenly remembered something and grabbed her sister's wrist, breathing rapidly.
"Sister, where are the paintings? Where are the paintings!"
"What painting?"
"It's the painting you took away."
"Oh, I threw it into the trash can downstairs!"
Su Yunqing said disdainfully, but at the same time she felt distressed and wanted to help her sister up: "Sister, can we go home?"
"threw?"
"threw?"
"boom!"
A thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and the rain became even more terrifying. The strong wind roared violently, seeming to tear all the pictures into pieces. Su Yunqing was teetering in the heavy rain and would fall down in an instant.
After muttering a few words in a daze, her eyes suddenly widened, and in an instant she seemed to understand everything.
She smiled stupidly for a while, her smile was miserable and helpless, and when the smile fell in Su Yunqing's eyes, she was even more frightened.
"Sister, don't scare your sister~"
Su Yunqing stretched out her hand, but was pushed away by her sister.
She stood up crookedly, threw her high heels aside, and limped towards the dormitory building with her bare feet.
The sharp stones on the ground scratched the soles of her feet, but she didn't care at all.
"Sister, where are you going!"
Su Yunqing's heart was almost broken. When had she ever seen her sister look like this?
Suddenly she had some doubts about whether everything she did today and what she said was correct.
——————
Girls downstairs.
The trash can has already been filled with rainwater.
Regardless of her appearance, Su Yunqing lay on the side of the pouch, letting the heavy rain pour heavily on her back, and her little hands pawed anxiously inside.
The sewage mixed with rainwater has a pungent and unpleasant smell.
Su Yunqing, however, was groping inside desperately, mumbling in confusion.
"No more, no more~"
Suddenly she touched something soft.
Pulled out from the turbid sewage, it was a rose petal. The petals were still bright, but they had already been broken into pieces.
She remembered what Deng Haiyang and Xiao Yi said before the party.
"Lao San, where are your flowers?"
Does he want to send flowers to himself?
Are you disappointed because you saw the discarded painting?
So he threw the flowers given to him into the trash can?
Hence the scene today.
No wonder he seems to be in a bad mood today.
I should have discovered it long ago~
Should have been discovered earlier!
Su Yunqing sat on the steps, dumbfounded, all the strength in her body was taken away in an instant, the soles of her feet were painful, and her ankles were red and swollen. She wanted to cry, but it was difficult to breathe, and she didn't even have the strength to cry.
Suddenly she remembered something, bit her pale lips, and staggered to the grass nearby.
"Xiao Yi, what is that in your hand?"
"Nothing, just a piece of waste paper."
That's not a piece of waste paper.
That’s not a piece of waste paper~
She wanted to tell him.
The grass scratched her hand and pricked her delicate wrist.
The girl is like a soulless puppet, walking and searching inside.
finally.
She saw it.
She saw the ball of paper discarded in the grass.
She picked it up carefully~
Like finding a treasure.
Thunder rolled in the clouds, and the violent storm poured down mercilessly on her delicate and embarrassed body.
Staggering, the girl finally couldn't hold on anymore and fainted to the ground.
In her hand, she held an open painting tightly.
However, after being soaked by the rain, the ink on the painting has long been blurred.
