Flight of the Bumblebee

It was already after eleven o'clock in the evening when Wang Sheng's call was received.

Shi Le was lying flat on the bed, and was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when Wang Sheng called. He picked up the phone, and there was an excited voice as usual: "Hi, hey, hey!"

Shi Leping said with a headache, "I can hear you!"

Wang Sheng said on the phone: "I saw your brother today! It's the one who looks a bit like you, but is taller than you!"

"Yeah, where did you see it?"

"Didn't I be dragged by Professor Schmidt to do coolies in the small theater in the afternoon? I saw them there, and it seemed that Xiaoxiao was there too. What is this doing?"

Hearing that Xiaoxiao was there, Shi Leping felt that his headache would not get better this night.He said to Wang Sheng angrily: "It's none of your business, you will go back tomorrow, don't go to bed early!"

"It's never too late to go to sleep on the plane. It takes a long time to fly. Tell me what your mother is doing here?"

"Haven't the rumors reached your ears?"

"Xiaoxiao is really going to release a record and do a tour?"

"Yeah, it's amazing to be tied with my brother." He said eccentrically.

"Amazing! I really don't know what you are objecting to." Wang Sheng said.

"How do you know I'm against it?"

"Don't I know you yet?" Wang Sheng said to him over the phone.

The two people on both ends of the phone were silent, and finally Shi Leping couldn't take it anymore, and said in a self-defeating manner: "Let them go, anyway, I don't care! Who cares who is manipulated by that woman, I just need to be admitted to the school in the UK Enough."

Hearing Wang Sheng laugh on the phone, "I'm afraid you didn't mean what you said. You obviously care about it terribly. I was thinking that you are already planning to sit in the auditorium for their first tour, right?"

Shi Leping couldn't refute, he really thought so.In fact, it's not just the tour, he's even planning to get his first album, which hasn't been filmed yet.One is his own younger brother, and the other is his junior junior sister who grew up with him. No matter how he is an older brother, it is impossible for him to stay out of things like he said.

Seeing that he was talking about what was on his mind, Shi Leping changed the topic and asked him: "What time is the flight tomorrow?"

"06:30 in the morning."

"So early? Can you get up?"

"Get up and get up!"

"It's too early, I won't see you off."

Wang Sheng sighed: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have booked such an early flight."

Shi Leping smiled: "You really want to go back early, your parents' eyes will be pierced."

"It's so troublesome to go back every time. There is no direct plane, and the distance is so long..." He turned over on the bed and said, "It would be great if my family had a private plane."

"Don't think about it, young master, go to bed early!" Shi Leping smiled and said, "Have you packed your luggage yet? Don't forget everything tomorrow. You must bring your air ticket and passport with you. Don't be like two years old." Arrived at the airport like before but couldn’t get on the plane.”

There was silence on the other side of the phone, just when Shi Leping thought that Wang Sheng had fallen asleep or had hung up the phone, his voice came from the phone again.

"You really can't come and see me off tomorrow?" Wang Sheng's tone was not as usual, Shi Leping even heard a trace of fragility in his voice, and then he denied this conclusion in his heart.

"Who told you to book the ticket so early, even if I want to go, I can't help it."

"I knew I wouldn't have booked so early! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Wang Sheng wailed on the phone, returning to his usual tone.Maybe he was tired just now, Shi Leping thought.

Shi Leping couldn't help saying: "Go to sleep, my young master! Tomorrow will be here soon, if you don't sleep, you won't be able to wake up in the morning."

But Wang Sheng didn't know what was wrong with him tonight, he refused to go to sleep no matter what, and even said that he wanted Shi Leping to come out to meet him, but Shi Leping scolded him back, so he hung up the phone helplessly.

We haven't said goodbye this afternoon, he said.Shi Leping replied to him: Say goodbye, I'll be back after the summer vacation.You have to remember to practice the piano more at home, don't let it go to waste, and don't take it seriously when you agreed to go to the UK to study together. "What I promised you, when will I go back on it, I will definitely show you the transformation this summer!" Wang Sheng said bold words on the phone, and even had the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrist.

Shi Leping felt relieved temporarily, and said to Wang Sheng, "Good night."

When the midnight bell rang, Wang Sheng replied, "Good night."

Goodbye is when the summer vacation is over and time flies by.At the beginning of the next semester, he will be able to meet Shi Leping again on this campus.Wang Sheng comforted himself in his heart.

Who would have thought that this trip would almost become a farewell forever.

You never know, tomorrow or accident, which one will visit first.

The god of death hovers on the bright yellow roof of the car, taps on the glass windows, and sends out a signal for death; on a rainy night, the traffic lights at the crossroads guide whether it is Huangquan Road or the journey home.

Halfway through the summer vacation, Wang Sheng's phone began to fail.

At first it was just a reminder to turn off the phone, and then the female voice from the microphone kept telling him in two languages: The number you dialed is empty, please try again later...

When he tried to call his home number, he realized he didn't have his home number.It's really strange that people who haven't seen each other for three days and wished to make twenty or thirty international calls a day suddenly seem to have evaporated from the world.The most exasperating thing is that he is now in the UK, visiting his ideal school in the future, and his father has gone back to China. No one he knows stays at the school to help him inquire about the situation.

After a few more days, he finally got Wang Sheng's fixed phone number in City S from his father, calculated the time difference and called several times but no one answered.He comforted himself that Wang Sheng might have lost his mobile phone, or he was abroad, enjoying himself in some corner of the earth.Even though he thought so, the shadow of uneasiness was always hanging over his head.He vaguely had a bad premonition: did something really happen to Wang Sheng?

This anxiety lasted until the first day of school, when Wang Sheng's roommate suddenly found him and asked him if he knew that Wang Sheng had dropped out of school.

The sky was clear outside, and the news hit him like a thunderbolt. Shi Leping was stunned on the spot, "Wh... why dropped out of school? I don't know!"

Seeing that he was even more shocked than himself, Huang Qisheng, who had sneaked through Wang Sheng's underwear, opened his eyes wide and showed a surprised expression: "Even you don't know? His family is explaining the situation in Teacher Shi's office right now. I thought you Just know..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Leping ran towards his father's office.

autumn.

The leaves of the maple tree wither in autumn, turning yellow and shriveled.There was a rustling wind in my ears, and yellow leaves danced and fell into the soil.

The air was cold, and the severe winter was dormant not far away. He already felt the biting chill, which penetrated into the marrow of his bones.

In the past 20 years, there has never been a moment like today, when he ran wildly on the extremely familiar lawn, fell down several times, and the buildings in front of him seemed to be buried in the fog, and he could not see the direction of fate clearly.

When Shi Leping pushed his father's office away, there was only one person inside.His father stood in front of the French window, his back was lonely, and below were the playful freshmen, laughing and laughing everywhere. At their age, they should have such vigor.

This room with gray and white walls is as quiet as death, and the modern silver desk is like the color of a morgue at the moment, making people feel suffocated.

Shi Leping only heard the sound of his own unabated breathing. He ran too fast and had many question marks in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask them easily.His eyes flickered, afraid of the unknowable answer.

What happened to Wang Sheng?

Is something wrong with him?

What about his family?

What did they say to you?

father!

The maple tree outside the window was blown off by the wind.He began to feel the real fear that the worst answer was right in front of him, in this silent room.

"Dad..." He still opened his mouth, and softly called the melancholy figure from behind.

Teacher Shi sighed, turned his back to him and said, "Among so many of my students, only Wang Sheng has a slanted sword. He is not like anyone else. He has his own style at a young age. It is a pity in the end."

Shi Leping couldn't help taking a step back, leaning his back against the door, and said tremblingly, "Wang Sheng...what's wrong with him?"

Teacher Shi turned around and comforted his son: "I know you are good friends, Le Ping, don't worry, he has passed the dangerous period."

He didn't feel relieved like his father said, "What's wrong with him?"

"He had a car accident and stayed in the ICU for a month. His condition is basically stable. But his family said that he will never be able to continue his music career." Teacher Shi came over, and as a father, The generous palm pressed heavily on his young shoulder, which was a wordless consolation.

It is lucky to be able to survive, and it would be too greedy to expect anything else.One cannot be greedy, Leping.

Teacher Shi walked out, leaving the empty room for Shi Leping to digest the sudden news alone.

He recalled that when he was 15 years old, he set foot on Chinese soil for the first time to attend the funeral of his father's friend.Those two were also good friends of his student days, and also the only friends of his lonely father in his life.The three supported each other and encouraged each other. Along the way, they had many fond memories. Even though they were separated, this ancient friendship did not diminish by half.

He can't even remember now, surrounded by yellow and white wreaths, what kind of expression his father used to face the urn of his old friend.Because of the epidemic, his body was burned after death, and he couldn't even say a final goodbye to the bodies of the two.When my father looked at the familiar voice and smile of the two in the black and white portrait, what was he thinking?

Now, what kind of expression should he use to face the reality that Wang Sheng will never come back?

The talk about ideals and the future seems to be still in my ears, but Wang Sheng will never come back.

He should be lucky, luckier than his father.At least people are still alive, and being alive represents hope and the ability to have a future.The dead are invisible.You can neither see yourself nor others.Life is so important, compared with it, ideals are nothing.

he's alive he's alive he's alive he's alive he's alive he's alive he's alive he's alive

Shi Leping's body softened, his back leaned against the door, and his knees fell to the ground, finally feeling like he was alive after a catastrophe.
