In the next few days, Lu Xiuyuan's condition gradually improved, and he was visibly lively with the naked eye. Although he was also quiet, it was undoubtedly much better than before, and Lu Xiuyuan talked a little more at the dinner table.

Qi Xi thought, she didn't go to the program group in vain.The stage is still very important to Lu Xiuyuan, and it is still very attractive. Qi Xi's longing for that second can't be wrong.

Soon Lu Xiuyuan's birthday will come, Qi Xi is holding a gift in his arms, full of anticipation thinking about Lu Xiuyuan's reaction to receiving the gift, if he looks forward to the stage like that, he will definitely like this painting.He couldn't wait to come to the house he had been to countless times in the shortest time.

Spring has arrived long ago, and the road leading to the house has long been full of flowers and branches, full of vitality, without the loneliness and coldness of winter at all, it is full of vigor and fragrance of flowers at this moment.

Qi Xi opened the door, Lu Xiuyuan took off his glasses just after class and looked over, the sun was just right, and there was a fragrance of flowers in the wind, Qi Xi walked over with a smile all over his face, Lu Xiuyuan was dazzled by the smile, he squinted and thought : It should be that the sun is too glaring.

Qi Xi said briskly: "Do you know what day it is today?"

Lu Xiuyuan looked at him, how could he not know what day it was, he hadn't celebrated his birthday properly for a long, long time, Lu Xiuyuan thought Qi Xi would say happy birthday, after all, the things in his arms were so obvious that he knew it was a gift at a glance.

But who would have thought that Qi Xi bent down, handed the things to Lu Xiuyuan, and said, "Thank you for bringing such a wonderful you into this world." Qi Xi didn't say happy birthday in a clichéd way, his tone came from the bottom of his heart , When he said this, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were curved beautifully, he was using words, expressions, and movements to tell Lu Xiuyuan that he liked this day very much and was looking forward to it.

Lu Xiuyuan was just in a daze for a few seconds, then reached out to take it, and didn't try to take it apart.

"I've been preparing this gift for a long time, and I wasted several sheets of paper."

"So, have you been busy with this all this time?"

Qi Xi nodded: "I'm not busy at all, I'm enjoying it. Open it and see if you like it?" The expectation in Qi Xi's eyes almost drowned out.

In such hot anticipation, Lu Xiuyuan stretched out his fingers and opened it. He slowly pulled out the painting, and the corners of his mouth moved up bit by bit. Qi Xi's heartbeat followed the drawing slowly, and jumped faster and faster.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the painting slowly unfolding in front of his eyes. The painting appeared in his eyes, from the frame to the body of the painting inch by inch. Suddenly, Lu Xiuyuan stopped moving, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze on his face. Half of the painting has been revealed...

Qi Xi also sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiuyuan felt that he would lose his grip on the painting in his hand, he raised his head, his voice hoarse: "You, have you been to the third floor?"

Qi Xi's heart skipped a beat, this was not the reaction he wanted.

Seeing that Qi Xi didn't answer, Lu Xiuyuan exerted a little force on his hand, and the hand holding the picture frame trembled slightly: "Did you see it?"

He saw it, he must have seen it, saw himself sitting in a wheelchair with his eyes closed, fantasizing about dancing on the stage, he must have also seen his impotent cry, Qi Xi saw it all, everything...

"Lu Xiuyuan." Qi Xi called out his name uneasily.

"Who told you to go to the third floor? Who allowed you to go to the third floor?" Lu Xiuyuan's emotions became more and more agitated, and his hands trembled more and more. All he could think about was Qi Xi standing at the door, looking at himself in distress, With no legs, I struggled to move my upper body and danced ridiculously.

"Who...who told you...to go!" The voice of speaking became sharp and piercing as the painting fell to the ground, the glass splashed out, and the falling painting hit Qi Xi's heart forcefully , Lu Xiuyuan's heaving chest and red eye sockets were telling him that he screwed up, he screwed up everything.

"I'm sorry, I...I." Qi Xiqian stood there not knowing what to do, he wanted to go forward, but seeing Lu Xiuyuan's painful expression, he hesitated.

"Why? You always make up your own mind. What exactly do you want to do? Why do you always do this?" Lu Xiuyuan was so excited that his voice was trembling, and he spoke tremblingly, every word seemed to exhaust all his resources. strength.

Qi Xi didn't expect this to happen, he didn't expect Lu Xiuyuan to have such strong mood swings: "Lu Xiuyuan, I... I'm sorry, I just want you to return to the stage again, I, I don't mean anything malicious, you don't like it, I'll just throw it away, I'll throw it away now." After speaking, he squatted down to tidy up the paintings on the ground.

There was a burst of laughter above his head, it was not happy, but taunting, gently turning a tune and accompanied by humming, Qi Xi's heart shrank, and the movement of his hands stopped, he looked at Lu Xiuyuan, Lu Xiuyuan's red face The eyes are full of sarcasm, and something is spinning inside: "Back to the stage? What stage? The stage where you danced? Qi Xi, look at me, look at my legs, what do I dance on? A wheelchair? Do I dance on these two ridiculous wheels? What stage? No stage! By the time I can't walk, there won't be a stage! I don't care!"

Qi Xi slowly clenched his hands, and stood up suddenly: "Lu Xiuyuan, do you really not care? You don't care why it still exists on the third floor? Why are you dancing there? Why do you look serious when you see the stage? Only then can there be light and fire. What you want, I know, what you want."

Lu Xiuyuan seemed to be hit by the words, his body was full of thorns, and then he threw the book on his lap: "Get out! Get out! You don't understand anything? You don't understand anything!"

Qi Xi didn't move, and his eyes turned red: "I understand, I understand better than anyone else, Lu Xiuyuan, you saved me, you saved me."

"what?"

"I said I understand. I know how much you want to return to the stage." Qi Xi said, "Lu Xiuyuan, why do you think I will show up, and I will stay here with the cheek. I know who you are, and I know you are high-spirited I'm 15 years old, I know what you look like on stage, I know who's talking to me behind the screen, I've always known who."

Lu Xiuyuan stopped talking and looked at him with disbelief.

"Lu Xiuyuan, I like you, I have liked you for five years. So I love you more than anyone else, and I understand how much you want to return to that place better than anyone else." After finishing speaking, Qi Xi realized what he said , he didn't dare to look at Lu Xiuyuan, he didn't dare to vent his breath, curled his fingers, and left without looking back.

It was the first time that Lu Xiuyuan saw Qi Xi's eyes turned red. Qi Xi's words were so informative that Qi Xi disappeared in front of his eyes, and he didn't even react. Quiet.Only the broken picture frame on the ground told Lu Xiuyuan that everything was true.

He turned the wheelchair to the side of the painting, bent down to pick it up, and the glass fell to the ground with a "crash", and Lu Xiuyuan took out all the paintings, so he could see the whole painting clearly.

In the painting, the boy closed his eyes and raised his jaw. His neck is slender and beautiful, his hair is moving slightly, his fingers are stretched upwards, and a white bird rests on his fingertips. A beam of light shines in from the window, and the place where the wheelchair was originally was completely covered by the light. Covered, there are sporadic fluorescent lights sprinkled on it, like floating dust, and the boy reflected in the mirror is a 15-year-old boy, wearing a broken Hanfu and doing the same action with a smile.

Lu Xiuyuan's tears fell all of a sudden, this was the self he never dared to face, Qi Xi really knew it, he knew it.Lu Xiuyuan poured out the broken glass left in the box, only then did he realize that a piece of paper was floating down, and he quickly caught it.

The characters on the paper are beautiful and beautiful. It is a fairy tale, which Qi Xi once told him indirectly through the method of shadow puppetry.

He pinched the paper and looked at the place where Qi Xi was standing, there was still sunlight on it, but Qi Xi was gone.

The paper in his hand suddenly became warm, and only then did he discover a key point in what Qi Xi said.

Qi Xi just said

He said he likes me.
