Song Rou drove back to the city alone.

It was the evening rush hour at that time, and the traffic on the expressway around the city was heavy.But when there was a traffic jam, everyone behaved very peacefully, and no one honked their horns.

It may also be because the sunset that day was really beautiful.

He was driving a black Mercedes G63 with a high chassis and good visibility. He could see the straight highway and the end of the sunset connected to the endless golden clouds in the distance beyond the traffic in front of him.

He turned on the stereo and played the song "MiaSebastiansTheme".

Song Rou still remembered that the Spring Festival in 2017 came very late.

He and Tong Yu stayed in City C for the whole of February before returning to Beijing to go to school.

On February 2th, Tong Yu suddenly asked him if he wanted to go to the cinema to watch La La Land together, and Song Rou agreed without thinking too much.

It wasn't until they saw couples hugging and kissing in the movie theater that day that the whole auditorium was clattering, that they realized that it was Valentine's Day.

After walking out of the theater, he and Tong Yu walked back side by side, except that they were all clinging to each other along the way.

Tong Yu's scalp felt numb, and he didn't dare to look at Song Rou, so he had nothing to say: "This movie...was done very well."

Song Rou thought to herself that that person had fallen asleep countless times while watching a movie, and was still talking nonsense with him.

He slightly raised the corners of his lips, and lowered his head to tease him: "Then what do you think is good?"

Tong Yu choked up and slept for most of the time. He remembered a shitty plot, so he had to make up nonsense: "The soundtrack is nice."

"Which soundtrack?"

Song Rou continued to ask with a smile, not planning to let him go.

"That's right, the song that the hero played in the jazz bar at the end..."

Tong Yu pondered for a long time, but in fact he only remembered this.

He also said: "Although the hero and heroine are not together, in that song, they have spent their whole lives together."

After Tong Yu left, Song Rou revisited La La Land by herself.

After watching it, he threw the disc into the backmost corner of the locker and never touched it again.

He was rightfully angry then, hating every regret.

In the movie, the protagonists dance together under the most beautiful sunset in Los Angeles, express their love for each other in the starry planetarium, and fall asleep in countless gentle nights in Nevada.

They clearly matched their souls and were well matched to this point, but they still missed it.

Later, Song Rou found a limited edition vinyl of La La Land in a record store on a foreign street.

In fact, he didn't think that record was good, the soundtrack of the whole movie was very average.The song that Tong Yu talked about - "MiaSebastiansTheme", its arrangement is not even smooth.

But the guy said yes.

Because in that song they still spent the life they had missed together.

After returning home, Song Rou sat on the sofa in the living room until dark.

He was restless and turned down the dinner appointment he had made with someone. After eight o'clock, he began to think about whether to order delivery from the restaurant or to order some meals at home.

Picking up the mobile phone next to him to check the information, after browsing through a bunch of work arrangements and private information, he saw a new message from the assistant.

"YU has already agreed."

Song Rou repeatedly confirmed the message several times, and he didn't blink until the phone turned off.

He typed "Got it" back, and then got up and walked to the kitchen.

All that was left in the fridge was a piece of raw beef, some onions, and finally a bag of cherry tomatoes on the counter.

Song Rou thought for a while and took out a bag of noodles from the cupboard, and made herself some noodles in tomato sauce.

He remembered the first time he met Tong Yu and ate noodles with tomato sauce at home that afternoon.

Song Rou met 16-year-old Tong Yu for the first time in the studio of the old art building in No. [-] Middle School on the evening before the start of the second year of high school.

---

It was September 2013, the second year and nine months after Japanese singer Utada Hikaru suspended his music activities, and the tenth month since the release of the single "桜流し".

At that time, there was a professor at the National Academy of Fine Arts, who won many awards at home and abroad when he was young, and his academic achievements during his school days were also outstanding.

Later, he retired from the National Academy of Fine Arts and went back to his hometown C City with his wife to provide for the elderly. Every year, he still takes some students to teach painting.In terms of test-taking, it may not be as good as those studios that have been in the front line all year round, but where the painting skills are, there will still be many parents who follow their reputation and bring their children to the door.

The old professor rented an unused utility room as a studio in the old art building of No. [-] Middle School, and only accepted some students he liked to teach.

Most of these students are in the first and second grades of high school. If they take the art college entrance examination, they still need to go to a large studio outside for training in the third year of high school.

In order to learn painting from the old man, Song Rou deliberately transferred from the third middle school to the first middle school in the second year of high school.In this way, after finishing the afternoon class in the teaching building every day, I can go to the studio to spend an evening self-study time.On weekends, I stay in the studio to learn painting in the morning and afternoon, and go home to rest at night.

The gate of No. [-] Middle School is built at the foot of the mountain, and all the teaching buildings are built on the mountainside, so to enter from the gate, you have to climb up the stairs all the time.

The art building is just at the highest point of the whole school.

When Song Rou climbed the stairs with the heavy painting material in her hand, her back was facing the sunset, but he knew that the sunset that day was pink.

After a long time, Song Rou realized belatedly that it seemed to be the only pink sunset in his life.

The history of No. [-] Middle School can be traced back to the early part of the last century, and the Art Building is one of the oldest buildings preserved on campus.

It was an old three-story brick building, and there was a divided garden in front of the building, which was full of yellow and red roses.In the center of the cobblestone path is an old disused fountain with some stagnant water in the pool.

In the evening of that day, the strange sunset dyed the entire art building and the garden in front of it like a Monet oil painting.

Song Rou felt very novel about this kind of scenery, he put down the things in his hands, and walked around in the garden for a while.

When he pushed open the dark green painted door at the end of the corridor on the first floor, he found that there were only two people in the studio.

There were two people leaning on the window sill to read the same comic book, and they both looked up when they heard the door open.

"Good afternoon."

Song Rou put the things in her hand on the rough floor, stood up straight and greeted the two of them.

"Oh, oh hello!"

Those two responded very quickly.

One of the boys immediately asked, "Are you new here?"

"Yes."

"Are you a student in No. [-] Middle School?"

"Yes, I just transferred here."

"Is your hair all right? No. [-] Middle School starts tomorrow."

Song Rou glanced at her long hair half tied up with a rubber band in the window, and smiled indifferently.

Seeing this, the two people couldn't say anything more.

It was only when Song Rou moved the painting materials to the corner that she realized that there was still a person sitting in the corner.

It's no wonder that Song Rou's eyesight is bad. This person is wearing black clothes and black pants, and he just sits in the blind spot of his sight, so it's not easy to notice.

The man moved a fishing chair used for painting and sat in the corner, with his back against the wall and his eyes closed, wondering if he was asleep.

But Song Rou quickly looked away, because the person's appearance gave him a really bad impression.

His figure is a bit fat, but not very plump, and his face and exposed skin are in a very bloated state of foam.

His complexion was very fair, even a little blue.The texture of this skin reminded Song Rou of a corpse soaked in water.

There are only about six or seven people in the whole studio, and some of them came from several other middle schools to attend classes.

The old professor is nearly seventy years old, his hair is half gray, but he still walks neatly.

Seven students moved fishing chairs and sat in a circle. The old man set up the drawing board and began to draw. The lamp was turned on and stood aside. A cold water pot and a jar were placed on the still life table. An apple and a pear.

The old professor was still making the shape of the jar. When Song Rou was watching the 2B pencil in the old professor's hand accurately draw on the paper, he suddenly heard a rapid but slight breathing sound.

The sound of breathing soon became heavy and intense, Song Rou raised her eyes following the sound, and saw the fat man in black clothes.

His expression was painful, and his chest was still heaving violently. Before everyone could react, he quickly covered his mouth and nose, and then ran out the door staggeringly.

The old professor was the first to react.He stood up and walked quickly to the shelf at the back of the studio, pulled out a paper bag-like thing from the bottom, and hurriedly opened the door to go out.

Song Rou looked back at the door, and saw people around them took out their mobile phones, and some continued to read comics, everyone seemed to be used to it.

"What's wrong with him?" Song Rou asked the boy sitting next to him and reading manga.

"It's often like this, and it will be fine in a while."

The boy's eyes were still on the comic book, and he didn't even lift his head.

Song Rou nodded and didn't ask any more questions, she turned her head and continued to look at the old man's painting.

After a while the old man led the fat man back to the studio.The fat man was sweating a lot, his hair was wet and sticky to his forehead, and his dull eyes were wet with water.

Like a water ghost, Song Rou thought.

The fat man weakly returned to his seat, picked up his fishing chair and sat down again, and the old professor also picked up his pen and continued to draw.

When Fan Hua finished, Song Rou inadvertently glanced at the fat man again.

He suddenly felt that the fat man looked very tired, his eyelids were drooping but not closed, which made people feel very dry, like a plant without nutrition.

Song Rou has never seen such a person.

As a result, that night Song Rou dreamed that she was dragged into a green pool by a pale water ghost.

The water ghost's eyes were dark and looked wet.

No.[-] Middle School is a little closer to Song Rou's house than No.[-] Middle School.

On the first day of reporting in No. [-] Middle School, Song Rou's mother, Ms. Xu You, got up early to make breakfast for Song Rou, and then sent him to school in person.

However, her love breakfast took too long, and the morning bell just rang when the car stopped at the gate of No. [-] Middle School.

Although helpless, before getting out of the car, Song Rou still gave Ms. Xu a gentle kiss close to the face.

Ms. Xu was naturally very satisfied, and with a wave of her jade hand painted with bright red nail polish, she told him to rush into school.

Song Rou climbed the stairs unhurriedly wearing earphones. When she got to the classroom, the teacher signaled him to wait outside the door for a while.

He was leaning against the wall of the corridor with his head down, his left hand was holding his schoolbag, his right hand was holding iPods with earphone cables wrapped around him, and in front of him were a few students who hadn't finished their morning hygiene and were walking around with mops.

When a ball-headed girl passed by slowly carrying a mop for the eighth time, Song Rou suddenly laughed muffled.

The girl looked at Song Rou and slowly raised her eyes.The black curly hair is loose and half tied up, revealing a fair forehead and gorgeous eyebrows.

"Is the mop still not clean after washing it four times?" Song Rou lazily dragged her tune, with a teasing smile in her eyes.

Wanzitou's face turned red all of a sudden, he lowered his head and walked towards the end of the corridor with the mop in hand, then walked faster and faster while clenching his fists as if angry with himself.

Song Rou laughed again, because he remembered the domestic cartoon called Guobao Special Attack that he watched when he was a child.The hands of the protagonists in that cartoon are like balls hanging on the sides of their chubby bodies, swishing them alone and fast as they walk.

It's kind of like that.

At this time, the teacher came out of the classroom and asked him to come in. Song Rou stood up straight and followed the teacher into the classroom. After a brief self-introduction, the teacher asked him to sit in the last row, the empty seat by the window on the left.

As soon as Song Rou walked to her place and put down her schoolbag, she saw a group of dark water ghosts lying beside her.

The water ghost lay down for the whole morning, and the teacher didn't seem to see it.I didn't lie down in the afternoon, and I didn't know how to get the book out even in class.

He didn't look short, and he bent his back and bent his arms in the table hole, staring at the podium woodenly, and occasionally looked up out of the window.

Even though the water ghost hadn't spoken all day, Song Rou still saw his name on the seating chart.

It turns out that the water ghost's name is Tong Yu.

Remind me again, in the first half of this article, the reality and memory lines coexist, +++ represents the reality line, --- represents the memory line.Everyone, please make a distinction.

In addition, Song Rou is attacking, and Xiaoyu is receiving.
