Bamboo horse fell from the sky

When Yu Ran rushed to the playground, the game had already ended.

Sitting in the rest area, Qin Ke saw Yu Ran walking through the crowd, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Brother Ran!"

"Where is Shen Chi, why didn't you see anyone else? Isn't the match about to start?" Yu Ran rushed over, sweating all over his head, with an anxious expression on his face.

Seeing that Qin Ke was silent for two seconds, Yu Ran had a bad feeling in his heart.

"It's like this. The school said that they were afraid that the students would suffer from heat stroke, so they took advantage of the sun to hide in and advance the competition." Qin Ke remembered that Shen Chi had told him that Yu Ran's phone was dead, so he quickly took out his phone to check the time. Then comfort the other party, "It's [-]:[-], Brother Ran, you are not late, don't blame yourself."

After burning froze in place, the heart that was beating violently because of the fast running just now fell silent.It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head, and his whole body was icy cold.

"What about Shen Chi." Yu Ran came back to his senses and found his own voice, he hurriedly asked, "Did he run alone?"

"Yes, Brother Chi, he didn't let others run with him, but he took the first place!"

"What about others?"

Qin Ke hurriedly said: "Go to the classroom, you can go back to class and find him!"

Yu Ran quickly turned his head and ran away, Qin Ke looked at his rushing back, and quickly raised his voice and shouted: "Shen Chi is not angry! Brother Ran, don't be too guilty."

Of course he knew that Shen Chi would not be angry, he just. ． ． ． ． ．

He was just a little distressed.

Yu Ran ran wildly all the way, took the nearest path to Chongli Building, the teaching building without students was quiet, Yu Ran heard his heart beating wildly, footsteps circling in the empty stairwell.

Finally arrived at the door of the classroom, he pushed open the door suddenly and shouted: "Shen Chi!"

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became silent.The scorching sun outside the window coated the classroom with a thin orange gold, tiny dust floated in the warm light, and the unclosed pages on the desk were trembling slightly from the cold wind from the old air conditioner.

Shen Chi stood in the corner of the classroom, staring blankly at the anxious afterburn, as if he was still holding something in his hand.

"Are you here?" Shen Chi helped his forehead helplessly, "I even specifically told Qin Ke not to come to me, I'll go back right away."

"I...cough cough cough." Yu Ran's voice was hoarse, and he suddenly took a breath of air-conditioning, but was choked so that his eyes were reddish.

"What's wrong? Did you run too fast?" Shen Chi strode over, a little worried.

Yu Ran waved his hand, closed the door behind his back, and was stunned when he saw what he was holding: "This is..."

Shen Chi lowered his head, and then said, "Isn't your phone out of battery? I didn't bring my power bank with me, so I thought I'd just come up to pick it up after the run, and it just happens to be usable when you come back."

Yu Ran's eyes were hot for a moment, and he wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be tightly blocked by the surging emotions, so that he couldn't say anything.

"Actually, you don't need to worry." Shen Chi repeated this sentence again, "I will wait for you no matter what time it is."

Time and space seemed to be intertwined, and everything in front of him seemed to go back ten years ago. The golden sunset poured under the lush camphor trees, and the wind blew through the leaves. A cautious smile, and then whispered: "I will always wait for you to come to me."

Afterwards, too many things happened, and Yu Ran once wanted to question why the other party didn't keep his word, but now the scenes overlapped, and he felt that those were not important anymore.

The four years between them have carved them into completely different appearances. Yu Ran once thought that this was an unbridgeable gap, so she chose to give up.

But when he looked back again unwillingly, he found that Shen Chi had been walking alone for a long, long time.

He didn't give up, whether it was the group photo on the bedside table, or the North City University enrollment brochure that he accidentally saw in Shen Chi's bookcase two days ago.

Or whenever he looked at himself, the joy and joy in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

The surroundings were still silent, but Yu Ran could hear the unstoppable roar in the depths of his heart.

"Shen Chi." Yu Ran asked him in a hoarse voice: "If, I didn't come back, I mean if I didn't come back to Qi'an..."

He didn't finish his sentence because Shen Chi interrupted him.

"I'll go find you."

"Even if I can't wait for you, even if you forget me."

"Yu Ran, the way back is too hard, you just need to go forward. I will try my best to keep up, don't look back because of me."

Yu Ran raised his eyes and found that Shen Chi's eyes were red at some point.

Only then did he remember that he seemed to have run back as well, but he fell and was covered in bruises.

*

Four years ago, Beicheng.

"Chen Xue, no matter what, you have to ask the child's wishes, right? You tricked him into Beicheng, have you considered Yu Ran's psychological state?"

"I asked him, what can I do if he doesn't want to come, is it good for him to put him in Qi'an?"

"But look at what it looks like now? Do you think he is still willing to talk to you?"

"You're right, you're right, you're a loving father in front of your children, shouldn't I be the villain? Yu Jingcheng, let me ask you, what will you do if the smoldering fire doesn't come back?!"

. . . . . .

The parents outside the room started arguing again because of him.

Yu Ran sits in a clean and exquisite room, surrounded by dusty walls, and the bookcase has changed from a wooden cabinet with peeling paint to a more exquisite glass bookcase.

His room is very well lit. On sunny days, the sunlight can fill the entire space. It is bright and warm, much better than the damp and moldy room before.

Yu Ran was stunned, his head was empty, he felt that he couldn't reach the ground, his body was like an invisible cocoon, he couldn't feel the warmth, comfort and beauty within reach.

Obviously the bed was soft, the air was dry and fresh, and outside the window was a bustling scene that he had never seen before.

But the five senses are disconnected, the nerves cannot receive information, and the brain cannot respond.

Yu Ran stood up and opened the gauze curtain. There was a lot of traffic, but he raised his eyes, as if he wanted to see something familiar.

But no, just empty sky.

Suddenly, the quarrel outside the room stopped, someone was knocking on his door, Yu Ran wanted to say "come in", but he couldn't make a sound after parting his lips for a long time.

So tired and feeling drained.

To tell the truth, he just wanted to sleep, and maybe he could be happier in his dreams.

The door was pushed open, Yu Ran turned around and saw Chen Xue with red eyes.

Yu Ran couldn't figure out why she was crying.Obviously, it's me who should be crying, why does she look more wronged than him.

"Ran Ran, is there anything you want to eat? Mom took you out to eat? There is everything outside, do you want to go to an amusement park? Or go to a museum, or a zoo. Didn't you keep talking about seeing tigers before you came here? ?"

"No, I want to rest."

In a word, Chen Xue couldn't say anything anymore.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then, as if thinking of something, she took out a mobile phone from her pocket.

She handed it to Yu Ran, knelt down and comforted her in a low voice: "This is the mobile phone my mother bought for you. There is a calling card in it. You can call Shen Chi and chat with him. Do you remember their home phone number?"

After that, Yu Ran's eyes lit up a little, he took it, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Mom."

After hearing these words, Chen Xue couldn't hold back any longer, and her tears flowed even more fiercely. She quickly turned her back and replied hoarsely: "There is no need to thank you, it is mother who should say thank you."

After she finished speaking, she hurried out of the room, fearing that if she continued to stay, she would lose control of herself.

Yu Ran lowered his head, looked at the brand new smart phone in his hand, pressed the switch, fiddled with it unskillfully for a long time, and finally got through the call.

"Hello? Who is it?"

A familiar voice came from the phone, and Yu Ran suddenly took a big breath, as if he just learned to breathe at this moment, and for the first time he could feel the fresh air and the warm sunshine wrapping around his body.

"Hey?"

Yu Ran couldn't make a sound, he really wanted to cry, but the tears couldn't flow out no matter what.

"Hello? Is it Ran Ran? Yu Ran, is that you?"

"Shen Chi." Yu Ran finally heard his own voice, the voice was hoarse and dry, full of grievance and grief.

"Ran Ran, it's me, what's wrong with the voice? Is it uncomfortable? Or have you been wronged? Don't cry, don't be sad. Tell me, I'm here."

Shen Chi's series of questions lingered and he couldn't answer, he just felt that his eyes were moist, and the tears stuck in his heart finally found an outlet.

He seemed to have been crying for a long time, so long that he could barely open his eyes, and Shen Chi's comforting words gradually became hoarse.

"I can't go back Shen Chi, I'll never see you again."

"I'll see you. I'll look for you. Ran Ran, I'll see you if you don't come back. You wait for me obediently there."

"How long will I have to wait for you?"

"Graduate from junior high school, I will see you after I graduate from junior high school. When I am admitted to the university in Beicheng, we can be together every day again."

Yu Ran lowered her head, her voice was full of sadness and grievance.

"But I really want to see you right now."

Shen Chi fell silent.

Why is he not, every moment when Yu Ran is not around is so difficult, everything around him becomes gray and gray, as if the world is collapsing.

Obviously, there are traces of Yu Ran's company around him, but he can no longer hold the other's hand, and he can no longer hear his voice calling for himself.

Yu Ran's hand is so warm, hot, and soft, he used to hold it all the time, but now there is only boundless coldness left in his palm.

It seems that he is the only one who is alone in this world full of memories. Sometimes, wherever his eyes fall inadvertently, he will accurately recall and lingering memories.

It's painful sobriety.

"I want to see you too, I miss you too."

Shen Chi closed his eyes slowly, listening to Yu Ran's suppressed sobs, his bones ached.

But he had no choice but to suffer so much. He couldn't despair, let alone give up.

If even he can't support it, then there will be no possibility for myself and Yu Ran.
