hate farewell thirteen

The next day, Chunsheng got up late, and it was rare for her to sleep soundly. She was dizzy and wanted to get up to drink some water. Just when she was about to make a sound, she realized that her throat was so painful that she couldn't speak.She looked for a water glass but couldn't find it, she was alone in the room, and her heart suddenly felt empty.

"Why did you get up? I woke up this morning and saw your face flushed. I touched it. I thought it was a fever, so I went outside and grabbed some traditional Chinese medicine for you."

"Lie down first. I'll go to the kitchen to make medicine for you. You can't procrastinate." Dongqing poured Chunsheng a glass of warm water,

Before Chunsheng could speak, the cup of warm water in Dongqing's hand was in front of her. Chunsheng rubbed her fingertips when he took the cup, it was cold.

Chunsheng sat leaning against the bed, crossing his fingers and holding a half cup of warm water that was not finished. The sun shone in on half of the side, and the other half was covered by the half-drawn curtain.This is the first time she has looked at this room seriously. There is a window, and a small desk is squeezed in front of the window, and the pipa is leaning on the back of the chair.The room is small, but the bed is a big bed that can sleep two people.

fine.Chunsheng thinks this way, she hasn't lived in a room with windows for a long time, in fact, it's only ten days old, but to Chunsheng, it seems like it happened in the previous life.

It was indeed the previous life, she had already broken with the past, since she could never go back to the past, it was better to just treat it as a matter of the previous life.

When Dongqing came up with the medicine, Chunsheng leaned his head on the bed and fell asleep crookedly. Dongqing smiled and sighed, afraid of waking her up, so he carefully pulled up the quilt.

Chunsheng slept very deeply this time. She walked by in her dream. She dreamed that there used to be a small villa in Zhejiang, where the yard was full of roses. Her mother called her to come in for dinner, and her father put away the newspaper that was open in his hand.She picked a rose and was pricked by a thorn, so her dream was shattered and she fell into a sea of ​​blood. The rose was burned, the fire was lingering, and there was no one around, and she was trapped in it.

There was a blurry figure outside the flames, unable to see clearly, Chunsheng stretched out his hand and shouted to her, "Help me, save me..."

Dongqing held Chunsheng's hand and woke him up, "Did you have a nightmare? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you go and continued to sleep."

Chunsheng clenched her hands tightly and gasped for breath for a while, Dongqing let her hold her hand silently, and patted her back with the other hand.

"It's just a dream, and the dream won't do anything to you, just wake up."

"I made porridge, you need to rest your stomach first, and then take the medicine. The most taboo is to prolong the illness."

Chunsheng stared intently for a few times, and was stunned for a long time before he could tell what was reality and what was a dream.

Chunsheng drank the porridge, raised his head after a while, and said "thank you".

"I just came to Shanghai at that time, and I was shorter than you. I couldn't tell the east, west, north, and south. I walked around a street for several times in a daze and didn't see enough. At that time, I was thinking, how could there be such a prosperous city? A city, it would be great if it could take root here."

"You came to Shanghai to find someone?"

Chunsheng shook his head.

"That's right, Shanghai is so big, who can I find?"

"I won't talk about that anymore. My pipa has new strings. Let me play it for you."

Holly picked up the pipa and sat on the chair, pressed the strings with her fingertips, and the syllables spread during the plucking. Holly's untangled hair swayed with her body, and the hair was blown by the wind.

Chunsheng called Dongqing over, and she sat by the bed, combed her hair with her hands, and smoothed Dongqing's hair. With a wooden hairpin, the wind would not blow her hair into a mess.Chunsheng stroked the broken hair from Dongqing's sideburns behind his ears, "Okay."

Chunsheng reached out and touched the pipa in Dongqing's arms. The room was too crowded to hold the dream held in Dongqing's arms.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you."

There was a knock on the door, and Shen Xing'an shouted from outside the house: "Dongqing, what are you dawdling in? If you don't go to the dressing table, someone else will take it."

"You take care of your illness at home, but don't run around anymore, I'll be back later."

Chunsheng was sick for a long time, and he was always coughing and not getting better.When Dongqing came back from buying traditional Chinese medicine, Chunsheng said, it's nothing, it's just a small problem, how much money do you have, don't waste it.

It was too cold in winter, and they couldn't afford charcoal fire. Dongqing took out the only coat in the closet and covered it with Chunsheng. When she was sleeping, Dongqing held Chunsheng's hand. Chunsheng asked her, why is your body so hot?

Holly said, your hands and feet are too cold.

"It's been like this since I was a child. I used to stay at home in winter and never go out. I just nestled in front of the fireplace and roasted every day."

Dongqing didn't speak, she moved her body and pressed against Chunsheng, so as to get rid of the anger in her body.

Chunsheng is most afraid of the cold. The winter in Shanghai is colder than that in Jiangnan. When she lived in a small hotel, she almost thought that she would not be able to survive this winter.

Holly is like a little sun, as long as she is here, Chunsheng feels that winter is warmer, and when it is warmer, he can see spring.

Early the next morning, Holly slipped out of the door, and came back with a hand stove and coals in her hand.

At that time Chunsheng was leaning against the head of the bed, putting the sneaky Dongqing under her eyes, but she didn't make a sound, which gave Dongqing a big jump.

She stuffed the stove into Chunsheng's arms, "This way you won't get cold hands when I'm not around."

Unburned charcoal was burning in the hand stove, and the copper surface was stained a little black. I don't know where Chunsheng bought second-hand goods, but it was warmer than the fireplace she used to bake in.

"Why buy this? Waste of money."

"It didn't take much, I sang tonight and came back again."

Chunsheng took out from his bag the money left over from pawning the violin that he had hidden for a long time, "This is for you."

"I'm not trying to drive you away."

"When I get better, I will go to the karaoke hall to sing with you."

Dongqing didn't accept her money. She smiled and rubbed the top of Chunsheng's hair, "Take care of it well, Little Shanghai won't accept a daughter from a rich family like you."

Chunsheng left the small room where he was staying, and even secretly took away the 100 yuan from the third book on the table.

There was the sound of selling candied haws on the street, and Chunsheng thought of the hand warmer that had been left on the bedside. Has the charcoal in the hand stove been extinguished?It seems that I forgot to read it.Were the windows closed when we left, and will it rain later?She hesitated whether to go back and have a look, but forget it, after going back, she couldn't bear to leave anymore.

But, where can she go?Dongqing is right, Shanghai is too big, she is going around, or wandering in the nearby streets and alleys, where should she go.

Finally, she stopped in front of the music shop, and through the glass, she could still see a wooden lute lying on the floor inside, placed in a corner where no one cares about it.

Dongqing ran into Chunsheng carrying a package, just like when they first met.

Dongqing didn't ask Chunsheng why he stopped here with his bag on his back, and Chunsheng didn't take the initiative to explain. The two stood in front of the glass window of the music shop for a long time.

Chunsheng spoke first, pointing to the violin on the wall and said, "That violin used to be mine."

"You can play the violin?"

"I know a little."

"Then how did you sell it?"

Little Shanghai does not want to play the pipa, and Shanghai does not want to play the violin.

Chunsheng turned his head to look at her, "The house is too small to fit in."

"I want to eat the candied haws on the street. Let's go home after buying."

Dongqing handed the candied haws to Chunsheng, and she bought two for the first time. The hawthorn was still in her mouth and she hadn't swallowed it, so she said vaguely, "Let's go."

The house they lived in was too short, and they were hidden in a narrow alley. The alley was so winding that it almost took Chunsheng into it and couldn't get out.

Chunsheng asked Dongqing, what would she do if she had the opportunity to leave Little Shanghai?

Holly said she would build a house on the top of the hill and play the lute in the afternoon sun.

Chunsheng dumped all the money and jewelry in the bag on the bed. It was all her belongings. She put her hands together and scooped them up, "These are for you."

"Give me an extra room when building a house. If it is not enough, I will add it later."

Dongqing went on, but it was strange.

"The last time I said I would sing, I meant it seriously. I can't just stay at home and have nothing to do."

"Little Shanghai, you have such a small body, you will be eaten until you have no bones left, and you will not see ashes when you throw it out."

"Didn't you stay well?"

Dongqing lowered her head and said nothing. The inexperienced little girl is naturally optimistic, so how could she know that.

"I'll go to other places to help you find out if there is any work available. I don't want you to go to Little Shanghai. It's not glorious there."

Chunsheng stroked Dongqing's cheek, "I don't think there is anything disgraceful in Little Shanghai, and I don't think there is anything disgraceful about you, but I think you shine like a little sun."

"Did you have meal?"

Chunsheng shook his head, his stomach resisted, and she looked at Dongqing in embarrassment.Poor and cute asking for help, Holly smiled and said, "I'm going to cook the noodles."

Chunsheng bounced around and followed Dongqing. The shared kitchen was downstairs. It was the first time she entered the small black room that was blackened by oily smoke, and watched Dongqing deftly light the hay and start the fire.

Holly looked back at her, "Can you cook?"

"will not."

"I'll teach you, if one day I'm not at home, you can cook and eat by yourself."

Chunsheng watched Dongqing's movements, and followed her ramblings, "If you eat alone, just take half."

They didn't have delicacies from mountains and seas, Dongqing adjusted the sauce, picked up the chopsticks, and the noodles fell into the bowl.Dongqing mixed evenly, picked up a chopstick and handed it to Chunsheng's mouth, "Taste it."

The noodles in the clear soup lacked any water, even the oil juice could not be seen, but Chunsheng thought it was delicious right now, better than all the noodles she had eaten in the first half of her life.

Chunsheng ate the whole bowl cleanly, his stomach was [-]% full, his big eyes were fixed on the noodles in Dongqing's hand, the sound of swallowing was so loud that Dongqing laughed, and evened out half of the noodles in his bowl.

At the end of the year, Dongqing bought Spring Festival couplet paper and came back. Chunsheng borrowed the owner's brush to write the words. Dongqing praised Chunsheng for his good calligraphy while stepping on a stool to paste the Spring Festival couplets.Chunsheng held onto a stool to serve Dongqing rice paste. Dongqing said that this was the first year that she posted Spring Festival couplets, and she couldn’t afford them in previous years. The sisters and sisters in this row wrote like chickens pecking at rice, so she only dared to write crooked blessings. Stick it on the door.

"After you came, it was very lively. This year's New Year looks decent, and it finally looks like a Chinese New Year."

"Just watch, don't fall."

"I can't fall."

"Do you think we should buy a red lantern and hang it on the door like they did? It looks festive."

Chunsheng glanced at the big red lanterns in other houses, "It looks the same in other houses, so don't waste that money."

When Shen Xing'an passed by their door, Dongqing had just hung up the red lantern when the wind blew into the house, making the lantern sway.The door was not closed, she stood at the door and knocked, "I'm going to buy dumpling wrappers, do you two want to go together?"

"Sister An, I'll be with you."

"Isn't Xiao Chunsheng with us?"

"Go ahead, I'll wipe the corners again. I usually miss a lot of places. When I clean it up, I can see that spiders have settled down on it."

Dongqing rushed out, put Shen Xingan's shoulders on her shoulders and left, Shen Xingan looked back twice, with a worried face.

"Why don't you take Xiao Chunsheng with you? Be careful that she gets angry."

"I need your help with something."

When I came back, the sun was already setting, and Dongqing entered the house with a rough red lantern, "Look what I brought back?"

"Where did you get the red lantern?"

"I'm confused with Sister An, it's decent."

Chunsheng carried the lantern, wandered back and forth several times, but never let go of the lantern in his hand, "I have to find a place to hang it up, what do you think is the best place to hang it up?"

"Otherwise, hang it under the eaves of the window, so that you can watch it every day."

"What kind of food did you buy and what will you have for dinner tonight?"

"I bought fish, which weighs two catties. Sister An is also cooking today. You should take this opportunity to try more."

"I also bought three prawns, and gave the boss a look. Shengsheng, you don't even know that prawns are so expensive, and the price will be raised during the holidays. Just that, it's so expensive..."

Dongqing talked about it for a long time. When it was dark, the smell of food from the kitchen wafted in through the crack of the door. Chunsheng took Dongqing's hand, "Shall we go eat?"

"Walk."

"I thought you were here to help, but it turned out that you were only here for dinner."

Shen Xing'an blocked Dongqing's chopsticks with her chopsticks, "Wash your hands before eating."

"I didn't grab it with my hands."

"That's not OK."

There were three people around the small round table, and Shen Xing'an picked up vegetables for Chunsheng, "Is it delicious?"

Chunsheng nodded.

Everyone was talking and laughing, Dongqing opened the wine that had been hidden for a long time, and Chunsheng became slightly drunk after taking a sip.Shen Xing'an brought out a wooden box, which contained only two folded notes.

"What is this?" Chunsheng asked.

"I don't even remember what I wrote, wait a minute, I'll open it first and have a look." Holly took the note she had marked, leaned back a little, glanced at the note, and just clicked, Then he rubbed the note and threw it into the water.

"How can you be like this."

Chunsheng pulled Dongqing's sleeve and asked, "What did you write?"

"The expectation for the coming year, write it down on the day of the new year, store it in a wooden box, and take it out to read in the next New Year. I write it every year, but if I can't achieve it, I will continue in the next year."

Shen Xing'an waved the open note, "I'm done."

The note reads, "The coming New Year will have a taste of the New Year." This year's New Year is indeed much more like a year than previous years.

Dongqing said that with this little ambition, she would not be able to become a master.

Shen Xing'an retorted, your ambition is so great, it's not like you failed.

"Humans, especially people like us, shouldn't have too much ambition. If you are less demanding, you will be happy when you succeed." Shen Xing'an touched Chunsheng's little head. Her hair was soft and soft, and it was very comfortable to touch, " Xiao Chunsheng, do you think so?"

"Thanks to Xiaochunsheng, Xiaochunsheng made my wish come true."

Dongqing tore a piece of white paper from the notebook, tore it into strips of similar size, and handed one to each of them, "Let's write about this year."

Chunsheng bit the tip of the pen, not knowing what to write, only after Dongqing and Sister An's notes had been folded did she dawdle.

Holly yelled from the side: "What did you write, show me."

Chunsheng pressed the note to his chest, "I won't show it to you."

Sister An took the note and locked it in the wooden box, "See you next year."

The bell in the auditorium was beating amidst the sound of firecrackers, Chunsheng took Dongqing's hand to watch the fireworks outside the door, the houses in the alley were hung with red lanterns, Chunsheng whispered to Dongqing, "Happy New Year."

"Happy every year."

"It's more than every year."

There are fish every year, so Holly is hungry.Dongqing touched her pocket, there was still ten yuan in the pocket, "Do you want to have supper?"

Today is the New Year's Eve, and I haven't come across an open shop after walking for a long time. Dongqing asked Chunsheng: "Sister An seems to have some dumplings left over there, how about some?"

The two looked at each other for a long time and laughed together.

"I didn't see you in the middle of the night, I thought you two eloped on New Year's Eve."

"We are going to pack up and run after eating the dumplings."

"Then I'll pack it for you, and you take some on the way, lest you starve to death before you run out of Shanghai."

"Bah, bah, on the first day of the new year, it's unlucky to say something dead."

Chunsheng listened to the two singing in front of him, smiled and lowered his head to eat her dumplings. The dumplings were filled with three delicacies. She bit them and pulled out a coin from her mouth.

"I almost thought that someone swallowed it, and I didn't eat it anyway. It turned out to be here with you." Shen Xing'an looked around, "Xiao Chunsheng is really a mascot. Once she comes, it will feel like a new year, and there will be good food here." Good luck. Good luck for the next year."

Chunsheng has been used to bad luck since he was a child, and he was always scolded as a broom star. She met Chunsheng and met Sister An, and she didn't know how much good luck it took.If possible, she would like to spend all the good luck in this life, give Chunsheng, sister An, and give them the few days they get along with each other.

Dongqing was so excited that she couldn't sleep, she tossed and turned on the bed, and finally shook Chunsheng's shoulders, making her turn to her, "Shengsheng, let's go watch the sunrise, shall we?"

Chunsheng agreed in a daze, she couldn't drink enough, after only one drink, her head became dizzy and she wanted to sleep.While waiting for the sun, Chunsheng couldn't stand it anymore, leaned on Dongqing's shoulder, and fell asleep peacefully.

Listening to Dongqing's call, Chunsheng opened his eyes dimly.

"Sun, the sun is out."

"It's so dazzling."

"It's beautiful when it's dazzling, and it's so bright that everyone can see it."

It was the first dawn of the twentieth century, the 27th year of Guangxu, and the first New Year spent by Chunsheng and Dongqing.Holding Chunsheng's hand, Dongqing stepped up the steps to the highest level, a place she thought was high.

Holly pointed to the sun in the sky, her back was facing the light, Chunsheng was dazzled by the light, and couldn't see her face clearly, only heard her say: "I will become it in the future too."

Be the sun and stand on the highest place so that all people can see it.

"What about after becoming the sun?"

Dongqing went down the steps, three steps at a time, almost jumped from the top, she took Chunsheng's hand, "After that, I will take you to eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and take you back to my hometown to see the scenery, haven't you seen that?" However, the mountains, trees, flowers and plants there are much more beautiful than here. Shanghai is always impersonal."

Early spring came, and Chunsheng hadn’t found a job yet, so he wrote and drew in the house. Dongqing bought drawing boards and drawing paper and cheap paints. Chunsheng said that she could just draw on newspapers that no one else wanted, anyway, it was just to pass the time.

Dongqing said that Chunsheng was like a little artist who fell into an alley by mistake, which made him seem so out of place here.

She also said that she hoped that Chunsheng would be out of tune with this place for the rest of her life. She hoped that Chunsheng would be just a passer-by. When passing by this place, don't stay too long. People will eat people here.

It's just that she never said this in front of Chunsheng.

When returning home at noon, Dongqing didn't find Chunsheng in the room, so she knocked on the door of Sister An's room, but there was no answer.I ran upstairs and downstairs, and finally saw it in the kitchen.

Chunsheng held firewood in his hand, his face and hands were all black, "It's my birthday today, if you want to cook noodles, I'll give you a bowl." Chunsheng's brown eyes were filled with tears, "But I can't light a fire, and I can't fire it no matter how I fight."

"Last time I only taught you how to cook noodles, but I forgot to teach you how to make a fire."

In the past, birthdays were always held in magnificent places, the tables were full of rare vegetables, and the cakes were two-tiered. The candles on the cake alone were more expensive than the noodles.

Chunsheng thought about it, and all the grievances and sorrows accumulated before and after were all pressed on his heart, and tears fell down.

Dongqing knelt down and wiped the tears from her cheeks with her hands, "It's my fault, it's my fault. I'll cook noodles for you on your birthday."

Dongqing asked Chunsheng to go back to the house, and ran to the landlord's house to borrow an egg, put the egg in Chunsheng's bowl of noodles, and brought it upstairs to Chunsheng.

"I didn't know when I was born since I was a child, and I didn't celebrate my birthday. I didn't know what to do. You will just make it this time. Next time, I will definitely give you a better birthday."

Chunsheng had wiped away her tears a long time ago. When she saw the hidden egg, her eyes were red again, "It's okay, it's fine this way."

"Eat it quickly, if you don't eat noodles, you will be in trouble."

"Holly, you can celebrate your birthday with me in the future. I was born on this day, and you were born on this day. We are born on the same day."

Chunsheng tore his own egg in half with chopsticks, and gave the half to Dongqing, "It's everyone's birthday, half of the egg is for each person."

Dongqing didn't take her pipa with her when she went to Xiaoshanghai, but these days she recited it every day. She came back humming a ditty, with a good mood written on her undisguised face.

Chunsheng asked her, "Why are you carrying a pipa on your back recently?"

"There is a boss who likes to listen. If he asks me to play for him, he will listen. It is much better than the group of men sitting down drinking and whistling."

"Shengsheng, he even tipped me. He is very generous. We will be able to afford a house soon."

"When we are old, we will be in our own house, and then we will sit by the door and bask in the sun hand in hand."

The future life in the imagination is always very good. If you draw with colorful crayons, you can have everything.They build high-rise buildings in their minds, and their minds always don't need money, and they feel that they are losing money if they don't add a few more.

It was usually late at night when Dongqing came back. Chunsheng leaned against Dongqing's arms, and the two of them didn't speak. Hearing Dongqing's steady breathing, Chunsheng asked her softly: "Holly, is there a magnolia blooming outside the house?"

"I didn't lock you up, why don't you go out and see by yourself?"

"Shanghai is too big. I'm afraid of getting lost. Next time you have time, take me to see it."

"Then tomorrow, tomorrow is free."

Chunsheng fell asleep in Dongqing's promise, and got up early the next day. Seeing that Dongqing was still asleep, Chunsheng tiptoed downstairs to cook porridge.When I came back, I saw that Holly was fully dressed.

"I just went to cook porridge."

"Because you want to go out to see Magnolia?"

Chunsheng nodded, holding the candy promised by Dongqing in his hand, how could he grasp the promise? Chunsheng held it tightly in the palm of his hand, and the air flowed out from between his fingers.

Two people eat porridge, Dongqing said, it doesn't matter, she can cook it when she gets up later.

Chunsheng asked, "Is it because I cooked it unpalatable?" She tasted it a couple of more times, and it seemed that the cooked holly tasted better.

"How could it be, what do you think about every day?" Dongqing scooped up a spoonful of white sugar and handed it to Chunsheng, "Do you want to dip it in white sugar? It will taste better with some white sugar."

Sister An walked quietly and silently, and when she made a noise, they both jumped in fright.

"What is the little pipa master dawdling about?"

"Sister An, I told you not to call me that!"

"Okay, okay, I get it."

"Holly..." Chunsheng took Dongqing's fingertips, and he didn't dare to say anything more, because he was afraid that Dongqing's answer would not be counted.

Dongqing held Chunsheng's whole hand, "Sister An, Shengsheng is with us today."

"Are you willing to take Xiao Chunsheng out to see the light?"

"When did I lock her up?"

Dongqing has never said anything against Chunsheng, and Chunsheng is not her appendage, so what right does she have to restrict Chunsheng's life?For Chunsheng, she felt guilty about her failed escape last time, imprisoning her freedom in exchange for trust.

One was as if nothing had happened, the other was cautious, and neither of them opened their mouths.

It rained last night, and the magnolia fell to the ground. The drizzle was long and long, spreading to the present moment. Chunsheng held an oil-paper umbrella for Dongqing, and walked all the way around the white petals floating in the puddle.

Fast forward June and July to the Mid-Autumn Festival.Chunsheng bought two mooncakes with the money he had spent teaching the landlord’s daughter to draw and English, and put the rest of the wallet under his pillow so that Dongqing could give it to her when she got home.

When Dongqing came back, she was holding a violin in her hand, and Chunsheng recognized it as her own at a glance.Dongqing smiled and handed the piano in her hand to Chunsheng, "A gift."

"I've been saving for half a year."

Chunsheng held her violin in one hand and Dongqing's hand in the other, and walked outside involuntarily.

"What are you going to do?"

"sold."

Dongqing hurriedly stopped, her tone full of coquettishness, "Chunsheng Chunsheng, keep it, I like the violin, I want to hear you play it."

"I'll teach you how to play the pipa, and you can teach me how to play the violin, okay?"

"Besides, there is no musical instrument shop open at this time, so you can stay here, please, okay?"

Chunsheng's heart softened, and he glanced at the violin in his hand. She hadn't played it for more than a year, and wondered how she played it, or if she forgot all about it.

"There can't be a next time." Chunsheng reprimanded Dongqing like this.

Holly nodded sincerely, and responded with two "hmm".

"By the way, I bought moon cakes. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the two of you are considered to be reunited."

Dongqing picked up a mooncake casually and took a bite, "This is stuffed with red bean paste, what is yours?"

"Lotus paste." Chunsheng handed the mooncake in his hand to Dongqing's mouth, "Taste mine."

Chunsheng was playing the violin in the room, and she dared only when Dongqing was out of the house and she was alone at home.The bow rubbed against the strings, and the notes popped out in a strange way, like sawing wood.

Fortunately, only one person was there. If Dongqing was there, it would be time to laugh at herself.

She hasn't touched it for a long time, but she still remembers her body.As soon as Dongqing went out, she took out the piano to practice until the hard notes turned into water.

The landlord's daughter came to the door feeling the melody, "Sister Chunsheng, why do you know everything?"

"Learn before."

"Then why are you here?"

"I had nowhere to go, so I had to come here."

She stepped forward and reached out to touch the violin in Chunsheng's hand, "Sister Chunsheng, can you learn this instead of learning foreign language today?"

Chunsheng shook his head and refused, "It's hard to learn, and it takes a long time to practice. When I was young, I was locked up in the room to practice, and I lost a long period of my childhood."

"If it happens again, I will definitely not touch that violin."

"But Miss Chunsheng is very beautiful when she plays the violin."

"Okay," Chunsheng put the violin into the case, "You don't want to skip homework, do you? Have you finished the homework assigned to you last time?"

She slipped fast, and disappeared when she was not paying attention.

When Dongqing came back, Chunsheng had just put down the violin on his shoulders, and happened to bump into Dongqing, and put it back on his shoulders, "I'll play the violin for you."

Holly heard the sound of the violin for the first time, and she realized that playing the violin is completely different from playing the pipa.

Chunsheng tilted his head, resting his chin on the violin, rubbing the bow in his hand against the strings, back and forth, she stood under the moonlight like a pool of spring water.Dongqing was stunned, and Chunsheng called out several times, "Holly, Dongqing?"

"Good to hear."

"Didn't you always want to learn? I'll teach you."

While correcting her posture, Chunsheng shared trivial matters with Dongqing, "The youngest daughter of the landlord wants me to teach her the violin today, saying that she won't learn English and drawing anymore."

"Then did you teach her?"

"No, I only teach you alone."

Their days got better and better, and they occasionally had eggs to eat. When Chunsheng didn't have to teach the landlord's daughter, he would go to the square alone with the violin and stand in the center to play the violin, and there were often rewards.

Sister An said that Xiao Chunsheng had finally gained some weight. When he first arrived, he had only bones left, which made people a little scared to look at.

The days are always getting better and better, if there is no such accident.

Dongqing went to the dressing room with her pipa in her arms as usual, and another person inside who was looking in the mirror glanced at Dongqing from the corner of her eye, "There is a violin player coming from Xiaoshanghai, don't you want to follow the pipa master? Someone stole your limelight."

Dongqing doesn't know who plays the violin. She only knows Chunsheng who can play the violin. When she hears it, her mind is full of Chunsheng's appearance. She is afraid that it is her. "What is the violinist? Where is she now?"

"Are you really afraid that she will steal your limelight? Why are you bluffing and scaring me?"

"I ask you where she is!"

"I was still in the front hall just now. I don't know where it is now. I guess it was taken away by some boss to earn some money."

Dongqing lost her pipa, opened the door and shouted to every room: "Sheng Sheng! Sheng Sheng!"

Dongqing had better find a time when she was born, and that fat and greasy man was pressing on her body. Dongqing thought, how could she stand it because she was so thin, her eyes were red in an instant, and her mood was confused.

Dongqing took the knife on the table and stabbed the man in the back, several times in a row.The blood dripped on Chunsheng's body, Dongqing took Chunsheng's hand and ran outside, not caring about anything.

Only now did Chunsheng realize that Little Shanghai was like this.

She asked Dongqing in a low voice: "Holly, let's not go to Little Shanghai from now on, okay?"

"Okay, let's not go to Little Shanghai, we will buy a house by ourselves and live under the moon."

Chunsheng's tears couldn't stop flowing down, and her feet also fell down, shaking unsteadily, unable to stand firmly.

Dongqing held Chunsheng in her arms, wiped her tears over and over again, and whispered in her ear over and over again: "Don't cry, Shengsheng, we won't go anymore, never will."

"Shengsheng, I'm here, I'm here."

The knock on the door outside the house sounded like Lord Yan calling, Dongqing hugged Chunsheng, and no one dared to speak.

"Holly Xiaochunsheng, it's me, Xing'an."

Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Shen Xing'an's voice. She opened the door, not knowing how to speak, and at a loss, she only called out: "Sister An..."

"You brought Xiao Chunsheng to hide recently, don't come back here, the farther away from Little Shanghai the better, it's best to leave Shanghai."

Sister An stuffed a wad of money rolled up in her hand into Dongqing's hand, "This is the money I've saved over the years, you take it first."

Shen Xing'an looked at Dongqing's embarrassment, faltering, how could she not know what Dongqing was thinking.Shen Xing'an patted the back of Dongqing's hand twice, "Okay, let me borrow it from you, I'm not so kind as to give you the money, I'll pay it back in the future."

"Pack up and go, don't look back."

Dongqing simply packed some clothes and jewelry, hid the money in the last place, and took Chunsheng out of the place where she had lived for several years.

She had saved a lot in the past few years, plus what Sister An gave, it was not a small amount. She said to Chunsheng, "Shengsheng, I'll take you to my hometown. We won't stay in Shanghai anymore, okay?"

"I will go wherever you go."

The snow in Shanghai fell all over the ground, on Chunsheng and Dongqing's hair, on their shoulders, and on their holding hands.Dongqing bought two tickets to Jiangsu, and they sat on the bench and waited, only one step away before they could leave.

Dongqing suddenly remembered that her pipa was left behind, and she had to go back to get it in Little Shanghai.

She kissed the back of Chunsheng's hand and let go of their hands, "Shengsheng, I'll get it and I'll be back soon."

"Can I not go?"

"You know, that pipa is very important to me."

Dongqing left everything to Chunsheng alone, she smiled at Chunsheng, "I'll be back soon."

Chunsheng waited at the station for a whole day and night. She remembered that the New Year had not yet passed. The note written by Holly in the wooden box wondered if it could be realized this year. She remembered that she ate a dumpling with coins in it during the New Year last year. Sister An said It's a year of good luck.

She went back to look for Shen Xing'an again, and Sister Shen said through the door: "You go, don't come back again, before I change my mind, go as far as possible, and never come back again."

"I couldn't find Holly, and she said she'd go back for the strings, but she never came back."

The wooden door was opened, and Shen Xingan's eyes were red and swollen, "She died because of you, she died! Don't you think you didn't hurt her enough?" She pushed Chunsheng's chest, "Go! If you don't go, I will force you to go to that boss! It will be too late for you to regret it!"

Chunsheng was in a trance, his head was blank, Shen Xing'an pushed her, she staggered back, and was driven and shouted to escape from that building and that street.

It was only then that Chunsheng realized that her good luck for a whole year was nothing more than biting a coin, and her good luck was over.

She knew that Holly would never come back again.

Only later did she understand that Dongqing was Yu Xue, how could she become the sun, she burned herself hot in the process of chasing the sun, and in the end she couldn't keep anything.

Not everyone likes the sun. Chunsheng didn't like the sun at first, but after meeting Dongqing, he also liked the sun.

She stood on the top of the mountain, where she could see the sunrise, which was the last time Chunsheng saw the sun in his life.

"We don't have our own house yet. Holly, it's so big here, I'll get lost if you're not here."

"Holly, the sun is out, do you see it?"

Can't see the sun anymore.
