He held the railing and looked into the distance. The breeze mixed with the faint smell of fish drifted over. Edward felt a slight headache, probably because of the beer. Meanwhile, Dai Mengni's eyes were closed and her forehead was slightly raised. She was calm and relaxed as she slowly felt the baptism of nature. Dai Mengni was as exquisite as a sculpture in the breeze. She was as dignified and natural as the Venus of the East, making his heart beat even faster. In less than a semester, he realized that he really fell in love with the girl in front of him. Not only did he love her man-made appearance, but he also loved her cold temperament and even her desire to succeed.
This was a perfect love, not only for her strengths but also for her weaknesses. Edward knew that if a man did not love a woman's weaknesses, he was not worthy of loving her strengths.
"What are you thinking?" Edward asked Damoni, who was engrossed in her thoughts. At this moment, only Damoni was left, because Leng Liang and Sophie had already left quietly. It was for their own sake, and also for the sake of Edward, who had put in so much effort.
Edward's words broke Dai Mengni's train of thought. "Nothing much. I just feel that our hometown is so beautiful that I will never get tired of living there.”
"That's right. If only we could stay here forever.”Edward sighed.
"No way. No matter how good a place is, we will leave one day.”Damoni did not look at Edward. Instead, she looked into the distance and answered him.
"Why?" Edward wanted to ask her for a reason.
"Because the sky outside is where we fly.”As Dai Mengni spoke, she looked at the blurry starry sky.
" Maybe. There will be a day when I have to leave for important matters. The only thing I miss here is…" Edward looked at Dai Mengni affectionately and did not finish his sentence.
A smile.
Of course, Dai Mengni knew what he meant, but she didn't say anything. She just smiled faintly, so no one could tell what she meant.
Since ancient times, parting was always sad. When it came to parting, regardless of whether they were lovers or friends, there was always a sense of sadness in their hearts. They looked into the distance and were relatively speechless.
Pedestrians passed by wantonly, and no one noticed the man and woman who were deep in thought. Time passed little by little, and they stood there for a long time.
"Brother, the day of our sect's fame is here.”The one who spoke was Liang Liang. It was rare to see the calm Liang Liang in such high spirits.
"What happened? Did someone fall into the water again?”Edward joked, and when Dai Mengni heard this, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
"What do you mean by falling into the water again?”As she spoke, she handed Edward a poster.
"What is this?" Edward took it curiously.
" Show vitality, sing for youth recruitment activities, no restrictions on style…"
"Isn't this a competition?" Edward asked curiously.
In order to enrich the cultural life of the general public, Noelle often held some competitions and performances. This was not a rare thing.
"Yes, it's a competition. The county is organizing a youth art competition.”Leng Liang explained.
"What does that have to do with us?" Edward asked.
"Of course, we can participate.”From his words, one could tell that he was excited.
"Come on, what else can I do besides playing basketball? I can't go on stage to perform shooting, right?”Edward said helplessly.
"Who told you to shoot? Don't you know how to play the guitar?”Leng Liang was a little angry at Edward's improper attitude.
"Yes, but what does it have to do with this?”Edward still did not understand.
"Of course it matters. We can form a band.”Liang Liang shouted excitedly.
"Form a band." Dai Mengni and Sophie were shocked when they heard that.
"We can definitely form a band to participate in the competition.”The more Liang Liang spoke, the more excited she became.
"There are usually four people in that band. Now, it's just you and me. Both of us can play the guitar, but where can we find the guitar player and drum set player?”Edward voiced his doubts.
"I've already thought of this. The guitar player is looking for Liangzi. He plays much better than you.”Liang Liang excitedly explained her plan.
"That won't affect their studies, right? They're both children who cherish time like gold.”Edward still had some misgivings, or more precisely, he was a little unwilling. He had been afraid of performing on stage since he was young. He felt that the moment he went on stage, he would be laughed at by the entire world, and he would applaud as he laughed. For this reason, he was even more unwilling to go on stage.
"It won't be delayed. Are we going to waste our youth like this? Shouldn't we leave some memories in the best years of our lives? I'm sure they'll be willing. Besides, there's a lot of prize money for the championship.”Liang Liang said earnestly.
Edward was a little tempted, but with his fear of the stage, he was still hesitant.
"I support you. I'll be the first to be your fan.”Sophie saw the long-lost passion in Liang Liang and was very happy to encourage him.
"Thank you, wife." Leng Liang deliberately emphasized the word " wife."
Sophie was so happy to hear him call her his wife. She was so happy that she almost flew into the sky.
"It's okay. I'll support you no matter what you do.”Sophie said happily.
Edward saw this and sometimes really envied Leng Liang. To be able to meet such a straightforward girl like Sophie.
"I think it's good too. I support you too. Like Sophie, I'll be your second fan.”Dai Mengni spoke.
"Alright, we'll do it as we say. We'll start tomorrow.”Edward's sudden words made the three of them jump.
"The power of love is still greater." She looked at Dai Mengni and sighed.
"Of course not. I just feel that if I don't perform, my innate voice will be blind.”Edward quibbled.
"Alright, that's it. We'll contact them tomorrow and go home to prepare.”Liang Liang was really resolute and decisive, intending to sacrifice herself for art.
"Alright, the two of us will leave first." Edward said.
"Yes, I'll send her home." He looked at Sophie with tenderness. Ever since they met, he had sent her home countless times.
"Alright, see you at school tomorrow." As they spoke, the four of them split up and went their separate ways.
On the way home, Edward and Damon naturally walked together since they lived in the same neighborhood.
There were cars coming and going, pedestrians passing by, and colorful neon lights. Noelle's summer nights were still lively. The two of them walked obediently on the way home. Both of them felt a sense of oppression, but they could not shake it off.
"You even know how to play the guitar." Dai Mengni asked.
"I learned it in junior high, but I haven't played it for a long time now.”Edward replied calmly.
"I'm quite curious about how you sing. I've never heard you sing before.”Dai Mengni asked in a deeper tone.
"I actually love singing, but I don't dare to sing in front of others. I'm even more afraid of going on stage.”Edward explained the reason for his stage fright.
"Just practice. I have high hopes for you. I'll cheer you on the day of the competition.”Dai Mengni said happily.
"Really? Is it for me?" Edward asked happily.
"I guess so." Dai Mengni smiled again.
Edward's heart was already blossoming with joy, but he didn't show it too obviously to show his deep feelings. This sentence was more than the encouragement of thousands of people. For the sake of love, let alone going on stage, he would not hesitate to go up the mountain of knives and cross the sea.
"Then thank you. I'll do my best.”Although there were thousands of words he wanted to say, he couldn't say them now. He could only use this simple and ordinary sentence to express his feelings.
Happy, excited, excited, and yearning. Edward could not find a suitable word to describe his feelings at this moment. Just like that, this happy journey ended unknowingly.
They parted ways downstairs. When Edward returned home, he immediately pulled out his old guitar and looked at it tenderly. Of course, this was not because he had deep feelings for the guitar, but because the guitar was about to perform for the person he liked, so his feelings were naturally different.
"The success or failure of the future will depend on you." Edward muttered to the guitar, then went to bed satisfied.
The beautiful night ended in Edward's dreams. The new morning sun brought a different feeling to his life. Other than his usual life of chasing after Dai Mengni, he was now doing art as well.
Third High, First Grade, Class Five.
The melody of " Norway Forest " rang out in this usually chaotic class. At this time, everyone was listening to the cool performance with great interest. No one knew that Liang Ziwen was not only good at basketball, but he was also good at playing the guitar. Of course, some girls had long been fantasizing about it, but when they thought of Miss Sophie's shrewdness, they gave up the idea.
Edward entered the classroom. Everyone was looking at him coldly like a star, and no one noticed him. Looking at these ignorant boys and girls, he could not help but sigh inwardly. He hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but when he saw Dai Mengni watching excitedly, he suddenly had a bold idea. He wanted to show off too.
"Brother." Edward called out to the excited Leng Liang.
Leng Liang stopped when she heard that, but it attracted the dissatisfaction of some girls.
"What are you doing?"
"Are you crazy?"
Some of the girls 'good mood was interrupted, making their boss unwilling.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I have something to tell him.”Seeing that he was about to become the target of public criticism, Edward immediately apologized to everyone.
"What is it, brother?" Leng Liang asked as she sat on the podium.
"I want to play a song for everyone." Edward somehow found the courage to say the thing he was most afraid of in his life.
"Alright, that's great. This is the second guitar player in our band. He will play a tune for everyone. Everyone, clap.”As soon as he finished speaking, the students 'doubtful voices and sparse applause sounded.
Edward walked up and suddenly felt as if his face was on fire. His hands were trembling, and his heart was not beating at the same frequency as before. He took the guitar but could not find the strings.
Everyone was disappointed to see Edward like this. Even a few of their classmates who were usually rowdy said,
