November 11st is Li Jiaheng's birthday, on that Thursday, after training, Ji Sui took him to see the stars.

"There are so many stars, can you tell which one is Scorpio?"

"Scorpio can only be seen in summer. It seems that you can't see it in winter, but you can see the constellations related to it."

"What constellation?" Looking in the direction of Ji Sui's finger, the stars are shining, and there are three very bright stars lined up on her fingertips.

"Orion, three stars are due south, and Chinese New Year is coming." Ji Sui retracted his fingertips and paused, and continued, "It is a constellation that will never meet Scorpio."

The evening wind blew the girl's hair, and the ends of the hair hit the boy's arm. Li Jiaheng looked down at Ji Sui.

"They are in the same sky, experience the same four seasons, leave a mark related to each other in people's hearts, and then never meet."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but in the last sentence, he thought Ji Sui was crying, but the girl in sight couldn't find a trace of sadness on her clean face.

Ji Sui kept smiling, but his hands in his pockets couldn't stop shaking.

"The stars will become the jewels in my heart." She looked at him and said confidently.

"Nevermind." Although the mouth is still disgusted, the smile on the face is real.

Ji Sui stood on tiptoe and rubbed his hair in a random way unexpectedly, but he also had a good temper and didn't dodge it.

Li Jiaheng, you have such wonderful and colorful memories.But I don't.

I am poor and have nothing.

What I can give you is only such a simple starry sky.

Time will change, we will be apart, I hope that when you think of me and look up at this starry sky, it will tell you that we were never really apart.

After watching the stars, Li Jiaheng drove Ji Sui home by bike.

On a windy winter night, the wind swayed leisurely across the shoulders of the two of them.

"How many times will this be the first time I meet this person in my life?" Just thinking about it made me feel sad.

Li Jiaheng didn't know that Ji Sui was behind him that day and made a wish to the vast universe.

Pluto, I hope that your little planet can always guard his Scorpio.

When saying goodbye, Li Jiaheng had already walked out a few steps, but Li Jiaheng still stepped back, looked at Ji Sui and said seriously, "Ji Sui! See you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow." Ji Sui went over these two words in his heart.

Li Jiaheng, in fact, I am not as looking forward to tomorrow as you imagined.But you gave me an expectation, so I looked forward to it.

The boy under the street lamp in his sight waved goodbye to him with his back. Even if he couldn't see the expression, Ji Sui knew he was smiling.

Even though he was only in his teens, he was taller than many people. The silhouette in the dark night looked like an adult from a distance, but it was just like that.

November 11, Tianhe Sports Center Basketball City.

The championship competition between No. [-] Middle School and Shiqiao No. [-] Middle School is in full swing.

Li Jiaheng fought on the court, while Ji Sui watched the match off the court.

In the final stage of the game, the two teams played inextricably, and at one point the battle became a 21:21 tie.

This was the first time Ji Sui saw Li Jiaheng play a game.

She felt that Li Jiaheng, who was serious, looked like a little leopard, extremely fierce.

In the end, they narrowly won the championship 25:21.

Ji Sui in the crowd saw Li Jiaheng and his teammates high-five, and they stood together and laughed happily.

At that moment, Ji Sui seemed to see the future.

Hello!Is there a particular kind of person you want to be?

Um.In the future, I want to be a professional basketball player.

The way he said these words suddenly appeared in his mind,

No one understands the fact that they will separate sooner or later than Ji Sui. Even if they are blown by the same wind and drenched in the same rain, they will not live in the same sea forever.

He will return to the orbit that originally belonged to him, glowing and glowing.

For a person like him, the world does not allow him to be wonderful.

That must be the splendor that is beyond my reach, the brilliant life that I... can't have.

Many years later, Ji Sui was browsing the old posts from 06 on the website. It happened that someone in the forum remembered the great god, and there were many comments.

She read it with great interest, and when the word "basketball team" appeared, Ji Sui would read it very carefully.

Until I saw "The year of the championship in South China was the most glorious and heyday of basketball in No. [-] Middle School", I suddenly burst into tears.

Even though many years have passed, many feelings of that day still left aftershocks in Ji Sui's heart.

On Monday, in the empty basketball training hall, Li Jiaheng practiced shooting, while Ji Sui sat on the ground and looked at the map.

"Li Jiaheng, is your hometown Guangzhou?"

"That's right, but I lived with my grandparents before I was five years old, and my ancestral home is Baiyin, Gansu."

"Gansu... is far away from Guangzhou."

"Well, it's about three hours by plane, and six hours by train."

"That's very far away." Ji Sui sighed while looking for the location on the map.

"Here." Following Li Jiaheng's fingertips, Ji Sui circled Gansu Baiyin on the map with a red pen.

Li Jiaheng sat next to her with a basketball in his arms, "Ji Sui, I'm hungry."

"Hungry? I have something to eat. Do you want it? Here it is." As he spoke, Ji Sui took out a piece of matcha cake from his schoolbag and handed it to him, grabbing the boy's right hand.

"What happened?" Ji Sui asked looking at the obvious wound on the back of his hand.

"This one, I accidentally hung it while playing, it will be fine in a few days." Li Jiaheng glanced at the wound on the back of his hand that was scratched by someone and said nonchalantly.

"It will leave scars." Ji Sui sighed, and took out a bottle of iodophor cotton balls from the interlayer of his schoolbag.

"Why do you carry this kind of thing with you?" Li Jiaheng saw Ji Sui's movements pause as soon as he said the words.

She didn't explain, just let him reach out and disinfect him carefully.

Iodine's wound hurt, he hissed and held back.

Ji Sui raised his head and glared at him, but his movements became lighter.

They were very close, and when Ji Sui raised his head, Li Jiaheng could clearly see the tiny scar on Ji Sui's eyebrow.

He knew that the scar was made by Ji Sui's mother, because Ji Sui had stained her newly bought shoes while cleaning.

God knows how angry he was at that time, but Ji Sui said that being angry was not worth it.

He stared at the scar and wondered, is there really a child in this world whose parents don't love them?

Perhaps it was because the pity in his eyes was too obvious, so Ji Sui stroked his bangs silently.

"Li Jiaheng, is there anything you don't want to eat?" She lowered her head and carefully put medical gauze on the wound.

"Does coriander count?"

"Calculate."

In fact, many times, even though she knew she was pretending to divert her attention, she still couldn't bear to expose it.

In a rare physical education class in the third year of junior high school, the teacher allowed everyone to move freely. Ji Sui thought about it and asked the sports committee for a basketball.

Her movements are not standard, and her hand feeling is also poor, and she has not made a single shot for a long time.

To say that the original intention was to cast for fun, but now it is a bit more serious, and the strength is also great.

"Hey!" A short voice suddenly came from behind, Ji Sui was so frightened that his hands shook, and the thrown basketball hit the backboard with a "boom".

Ji Sui didn't have time to get angry and ran over to pick up the ball, but Li Jiaheng was faster than her, and stopped the missing basketball while running quickly.

Against the light, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and walked towards her step by step with the basketball in his arms.

Someone in the next court scored a beautiful three-pointer. Ji Sui raised his face and looked over, "Wow!"

"I'll teach you." Li Jiaheng raised his hand and threw the ball back.

About the time when the sun was shining brightly, he frowned slightly, looking cool and fierce.

In a one-on-one basketball confrontation, Li Jiaheng ended the battle with 12:0.

Ji Sui was willing to admit defeat and agreed to accompany him to Guangxiao Temple on Saturday.

When get out of class was about to end, the two walked side by side to the classroom.

The competitive Ji Sui was a little bored because of losing, and Li Jiaheng teased her with a smile.

"Ji Sui, let me tell you a joke."

"What joke?" The girl who was a little ashamed but didn't want to look petty said in a muffled voice.

Li Jiaheng said solemnly, "Once upon a time there was a man named Xiao Ming."

Ji Sui asked innocently, "And then?"

"Xiao Ming didn't hear it."

"........."

I never thought that Li Jiaheng would tell such a cold joke. Before Ji Sui could react, a passing classmate suddenly laughed like a dog behind them.

Now, even more angry.

That day, the blue sky was vast and high, and the sun was beautiful and moving. Ji Sui walked away without turning his head. A thought broke in, and Li Jiaheng realized for the first time that Ji Sui was different from others in his heart.

He cared about her emotions and her feelings, and he especially wanted her to be better and better.

Guangxiao Temple, which has a history of thousands of years, is a very famous temple with a prosperous incense.

Walking inside, Li Jiaheng thought that if he made a wish in such a temple, it must be very spiritual.

He wanted to ask for a good lottery to make a talisman for Ji Sui.

Ji Sui didn't believe this.

Just looking at his pious side face kneeling in front of the Buddha, I really feel blessed.

That day he went to ask for a lottery, and when he came out, he put the lottery into the amulet, and tied it solemnly on Ji Sui's wrist.

"Wear it all the time, it will bless you." A sentence resounds loudly.

For many years to come, whenever he couldn't make it through, Ji Sui would always think of what he said.

"Ji Sui, it will bless you, be safe and happy, and turn bad luck into good luck."

It was obviously a blessing, but it made people unable to stop crying.

Another day of confrontation with the world until night falls.

Li Jiaheng opened a can of beer without saying a word, just nestled on the sofa and drank it one sip at a time.

The atmosphere was rare, and the friend looked at the ceiling and said slowly, "Ah Heng, tell me, what kind of person is she?"

Li Jiaheng just smiled and raised his head to drink.

"Tell me, what kind of person is she?"

There was a long silence, none of them said anything, Li Jiaheng stared at the beer in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

For a moment, the person who asked wanted to give up, anyway, Li Jiaheng has always been like this, and he never mentioned Ji Sui except his name.

But there was always a feeling that today was different, so I asked, and didn't expect him to answer.

"Have you ever met someone like that..."

The deep voice was dense, and there was silence.

"It's like a handful of snow on the Long in winter, quietly, the kind of person who quietly disappears when the sun comes out."

"That's who she is."

The torrent of time engulfs the memory, and after many years, it overflows to his eyes.

It was the summer of 2005, and the hallway was full of people after school.

The boy's cold face and the girl's eyes like water, they meet unexpectedly and never meet again.

Yes, never meet.

In the boundless world, in the ocean of life, I will never, ever see you again.

There was no contact, no way to get in touch, not even, not even a decent hello or goodbye.

Ji Sui, I think I really care that we didn't say goodbye properly.

Li Jiaheng didn't continue talking, he closed his eyes after drinking the last sip of wine.

The night is like water, I don't know who is talking to himself, "Who said that people will know how to be truly attached to certain things when they have experience. I always feel that the more you can't let go when you are young, the less likely you will let go when you grow up. "

If, after many years, the wind of memory inadvertently blows and lifts up the snow on the ground, what will move you the most?

Li Jiaheng asked himself in his heart more than once, but no one gave him an answer.

After you left, did the darkest period of your life, the blank years for me, become your shadow, and then turned into an ugly scar in your growth process?Ji Sui, how regretful I am that I didn't spend time with you.

When I woke up again, it was already early morning.

Li Jiaheng rushed into the bathroom and soaked his face in cold water.

Once again in his dream, he pushed away the people surrounding Ji's house, and saw Ji Sui curled up on the ground, with shocking wounds on her face, neck, arms, and blood oozing from her back, staining her white face red. Short-sleeved school uniform, he stretched out his hand, but he didn't know how to hug her.

"Ji Sui!" He couldn't remember how many times he woke up from such a dream, and how many times he wished it was just a dream.

That day in the emergency room was the last time he and Ji Sui saw each other.

At the end of my memory, the doctor suggested that I should be transferred to a higher-level hospital.

She was lying on her side, her hair wet with cold sweat, and she kept crying with her eyes closed because of the pain.

Li Jiaheng squatted in front of her, holding the broken amulet and insisting on tying it for her, but he couldn't tie the knot well.

He dialed Ji Sui's previous number again.

He couldn't remember how many times he had dialed this number.

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later."

The passed number was never called again.

An unwillingness to give up.

Ji Sui, where are you?How are you?

This is Seoul in 2009, Li Jiaheng stood on the balcony for a long time, the April wind blowing on his face was cold and cold.

In the darkness, he felt that he could not hold on any longer.
