Antoine on the cloud

Lin Yu came out after changing into a whole set of pants in the school toilet. As soon as he got out of the toilet, He Mingjun scolded him all over his face.

"Where's your egg?! The teacher asked you to bring an egg, did you tell you to protect it? You're good. How many times have you told me to put it away? Then I stuffed it in my trouser pocket and came to school after dangling around. Look. You're so capable, why don't you just put the egg on your head and come to school next time?!" Mother Lin, who slipped out of the work unit to deliver pants to the little ancestor, carried Lin Yu's sticky dirty trousers made him angry.

Lin Yu next to him sniffed and dared not speak.The nature teacher asked each of them to bring a raw egg to school, put it on the desk, and carefully protect it until after school, so as to cultivate their patience and care.Who knew that Lin Yu beat his eggs to pieces early in the morning on the first day.

When the class bell rang, Zheng Peiyang tugged on Lin Yu's cuff and said, "Auntie, let's go to class first."

"Okay, okay, let's go." He Mingjun turned his head to face Zheng Peiyang, changed his smiling face instantly, and said softly, "Protect Lin Lin's eggs, the farther you are from Lin Yu, the better you will be." Safety."

Mother Lin waved her hand with a smile, and she did not forget to give her son a hard look before leaving.

Lin Yu sat in his seat, quietly picking his fingers, still immersed in the great sadness of losing the egg.Zheng Peiyang stretched out a fist: "I'll give you what I got, don't be sad."

The next day, Mother Lin still refused to provide Lin Yu with eggs.Lin Yu opened the door sadly, and saw someone standing at the door waiting for him.

Zheng Linlin's school uniform is always clean and wide, with no pen or ink stains on it, standing there neatly and brightly, like a peeled hard-boiled egg.

Zheng Peiyang stuffed something into his pocket, Lin Yu took it out and saw it was a round egg.It has been held in the palm of the hand for a long time, and it feels warm to the touch. The eggshell has no impurities, it is round and smooth, and it is many times cuter than my own eggs.

Zheng Peiyang said: "I will bring you an extra egg in the morning."

"Lin You, why do your eggs look better than ours, like fake eggs!" He Qianqian stood in front of Lin Yu's desk and looked at his eggs.

Lin Yu thought of his feud, He Qianqian's car was the one who caused it, so he puffed up his cheeks and ignored her.He Qianqian was in a hurry, grabbed the egg on the table and knocked it on the table, and said angrily: "I think you are a fake egg!"

This knock hit Lin Yu's heart, and when he picked up the egg, a huge crack lay across the bottom of the egg.Lin Yu's eyes were darkened, and he lay face down on the desk.

When Zheng Peiyang sent the notebook here, the desk was filled with one head, so he had to put the notebook upside down on the back of his head.

Lin Yu raised his head against his homework, his eyes were full of despair: "Lin Lin, your egg is also broken."

Zheng Peiyang: "..."

Zheng Peiyang took the egg and pressed it on the table.At that moment, Lin Yu even heard the sound of cracks in the eggshell expanding.But fortunately, the upper half was intact. The teacher only glanced at it when he checked it, nodded and praised, "Lin Yu's eggs are not bad today."

Until he walked out of the school gate, Lin Yu was still holding his egg that survived the catastrophe with both hands, staring at it carefully: "Lin Lin, what should I do with this broken egg now?"

"Eat it."

"what?"

Zheng Peiyang took the egg and knocked on Lin Yu's forehead. The cracked eggshell shattered with a light touch, revealing the white egg white inside.Lin Yu was stunned looking at the eggs, and belatedly asked, "Is it cooked?"

"Well, it's cooked." Zheng Peiyang peeled off the shell of the egg, and handed the whole egg to his mouth, "Do you want to eat it?"

Lin Yu held Zheng Peiyang's hand and was fed a whole boiled egg in a daze.

By the end of this semester, Zheng Peiyang had protected more than 100 eggs, and Lin Yu had eaten more than 100 boiled eggs from their family.

On Friday, Lin Yu was going to the Children's Palace to take an acting class.He is a small group performer of the Baihua Troupe in the city. When he has a role to play, he rehearses on stage, and when he doesn't have a role, he sits in the audience and watches their rehearsal.

He Mingjun took Lin Yu to watch a children's play for the first time, and before the show ended, Lin Yu disappeared.He avoided numerous obstacles, slipped all the way to the dressing room backstage, climbed onto the lap of the starring brother, and said seriously: "Brother, I also want to be on stage."

The head of the troupe happened to be sitting in the dressing room. Seeing that the little boy who ran in had thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was rather cute. She squatted down and touched Lin Yu's head and asked, "My little friend, what do you want to act in?"

Lin Yu replied childishly, "I want to play the little prince."

The head of the group laughed amused by him: "Hahaha, okay, you will be our little prince from now on."

After Lin Yu joined the troupe, he worked hard every day to become the little prince on stage.

After the rehearsal in the evening, Lin Yu bought two cups of hot pearl milk tea and sat under the big tree at the entrance of the Children's Palace to wait for Zheng Peiyang to finish his get out of class.Zheng Linlin is in the science competition class in the next classroom.

The moon turned from the branch to the tip, and Lin Yu was about to squat on the stone steps and take a nap, when finally "Lin Yu" came from afar.Lin Yu raised his head, and something hit him accurately on the forehead. He lowered his head in a daze, and what landed at his feet was a paper airplane.The culprit not far away was smiling happily, an expression Zheng Peiyang never had in front of everyone.Lin Yu unfolded the paper airplane, on which he drew the orbits of the planets with a pencil.

On the way home, Zheng Peiyang talked about names that Lin Yu had never heard of, asteroids, exoplanets, ultra-distant planets, and the names of each planet were very strange.But when Zheng Peiyang spoke eloquently, Lin Yu listened quietly, his eyes flickering.

For the first time, he discovered that the stars in Zheng Peiyang's eyes are the same as the chasing light on his stage, no matter how far away they are, they are unique light sources in front of him.

Everyone is chasing the light and growing up, and so is his Lin Lin.

The night before the performance of the small theater troupe, Lin Yu was so nervous that he hiccupped and drank three cups of hot milk without stopping. He Mingjun made him a fourth cup.

Lin Yu called Zheng Linlin: "I'm going to perform tomorrow night, hiccup, will you come to see me tomorrow?"

The other said: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the preliminary round of the competition team."

Lin Yu wrapped his fingers around the phone line: "Then after you finish the exam, hiccup, will you come?"

Zheng Peiyang said: "Yes."

Even though he had practiced the same lines countless times and memorized every word by heart, Lin Yu, who was on stage for the first time, faced the waves of applause from the audience, and still held his small sail tightly like a boat on the sea. Nervous swing.

Although his line skills are even more mature than some older children, the teacher still smiled and shook his head and said: "Lin Yu, you have to know that although you are a character on stage, you can't be with everyone, with everyone." So many audiences who are watching you speak together. You have to forget that you are a character in the script, just an ordinary expresser, and then, speak to the person you want to speak to him alone.”

Lin Yu took a deep breath, and slowly opened the curtain that belonged to him, but suddenly, he was in a trance, and stars of different colors flickered, interlaced under the gorgeous lights of the stage, reflecting his own rainbow-like shadow.The person in front of the shadow, every movement, every line, was coherent in one go.It wasn't until the lights changed, the scenery changed, and the bright colors dimmed that Lin Yu realized that he had successfully completed a performance.

He hid behind the small sand dune, waiting for the time when he reappeared.Everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the stage, which allowed Lin Yu to roll his eyes wantonly to scan the figure he wanted to find in the audience, circle after circle, and finally, in a far, far corner, as far as Lin Yu saw the little boy in the gray corner where the lights of the stage couldn't reach.

His hand was held by He Mingjun, half of his body was soaked in pitch black, but his eyes were bright, looking at him.

The audience applauded again.

Lin Yu stood up and walked to the sand dunes, remembering what the teacher had said to him.He looked up at the actor opposite, missed his bright yellow scarf, and saw Zheng Peiyang behind him.The voice of milk is like a piece of tender tofu, but it is loud enough to echo clearly throughout the theater.

"To me, you're just a little boy, like thousands of other little boys. I don't need you, just like you don't need me. To you, I'm just a little boy. A fox is no different from thousands of other foxes. But if you tame me, we will need each other. To me, you are unique in my world; to you, It is also unique in your world."

The theater was over, and the audience left sparsely. The curtain on the stage was half down, and the red silk was hanging on the ground, and there was no time to tidy it up.

Lin Yu sat in the first row of the auditorium, looking down at his performance today—it wasn't too bad, but it wasn't good either.He felt that he could be better, at least he didn't panic like a child, and he didn't nervously squeeze his costume into such deep creases.

Behind him came the sound of footsteps from far to near, da da, very light and slow.

Zheng Peiyang sat next to him, with his shoulder resting on Lin Yu's bent elbow.The stage makeup on the young actor’s face has not been removed, with the freckles of a little fox and the brown eyeliner on top. When he was on the stage, he stood far away and didn’t look carefully. When he looked closer, he found that he was indeed cuter than usual carefree. many.

Zheng Peiyang raised his wrist towards Lin Yu.

Lin Yu thought that Zheng Linlin must encourage or comfort him with empathy, as he had always done to him before.

Zheng Peiyang pinched his elbow and just said: "Go and wipe off the colorful face, let's go."

Lin Yu asked in a daze, "Where are you going?"

Zheng Peiyang had already stood up, pulled his dangling wrist naturally, and shook it: "Go home."
