In the silent place

Chapter 15

Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month.On the night of the Lantern Festival, the Binhai Square attracted a large number of people to watch the lanterns.Jiang Dong and Gao Yue were also among them.

"Gao Yue, this way." Jiang Dong dragged Gao Yue through the crowd, and finally stood in front of the colorful peacock lanterns.Jiang Dong took out his mobile phone, put Gao Yue in one hand, and pressed the shutter to take a group photo. "When I take some lanterns for my cousin, let's go to the singing stage to listen to the songs."

"Take a few more photos."

"Ah."

At this time, Zhan Zhao was sitting in the living room watching TV, when there was a sudden bang outside the window, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky, drawing beautiful tracks.The fiery trees and silver flowers are like waterfalls pouring silver, radiant and colorful, and full of prosperity.

The mobile phone on the coffee table heard the sound of "Dididi" text message, the tiny sound was almost inaudible amidst the explosion of fireworks.Zhan Zhao picked up his phone to read, and opened an unread message from Bai Yutang: "Let's watch the fireworks together next year." Zhan Zhao smiled, held the phone tightly and walked to the window.Looking up, in the dark blue night sky, the fireworks are still in full bloom, one by one, bright and beautiful.Zhan Zhao looked up at the stream of fireworks all over the sky, the dazzling light was reflected in his crystal clear pupils, in an instant, it seemed that his life was also illuminated.

Although the fireworks are beautiful, they are like a flash in the pan.He will remember this picture scroll deeply, and engrave it in his heart together with that sentence, turning it into eternity.

Zhan Zhao's health is getting better day by day, and he can already go out.When the sun is high, he will go downstairs and take a walk in the community.After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather is no longer extremely cold, but the branches have not sprouted yet.He stopped and walked slowly, remembering that he and Bai Yutang would go to see Jiang Ping in the evening, so he didn't dare to get too distracted, and returned home after wandering for less than half an hour.

Jiang Yewan was answering the phone in the living room, when he saw Zhan Zhao coming in, he immediately waved to him. "Your dad is calling, you have a word with him."

Zhan Zhao nodded and took the phone. "Dad, it's me."

"Xiao Zhao, work matters..."

"It didn't work." Zhan Zhao interrupted his father.

"Then listen to Dad and come back."

"Dad, since I'm back, I don't plan to go back." Sighing, Zhan Zhao tried to soften his voice as much as possible. "You said you don't stop me anymore, remember. I know you are worried about me, for my own good, but I can't live like this for the rest of my life. So from now on, please let me make my own decisions."

"You...why are you so stubborn?" Zhan Huaiyi couldn't say a word, he held the phone tightly, angry and worried. "If you're in good health, Dad will never stop you, but..."

"Don't talk about it, I understand. I will work hard and never give up. But..." Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth and made up his mind. "If you can't change anything, just let me enjoy the rest of my life."

"Are you forcing me with words?" Zhan Huaiyi felt like his heart would break. "I won't let it go, even if I die!"

There was a pop in my ear, and it was my father who hung up the phone.The beeping busy tone made Zhan Zhao feel dizzy, put down the phone, and slowly sat down on the sofa.why?He held his forehead and bent down, the pain was so painful that he couldn't help himself.He didn't want anyone to worry about him anymore, but this time, he actually said such cruel words to his father.He just wants to live freely, why is it so difficult?

Jiang Yewan sighed softly, shook his head, and walked out of the living room.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Yutang drove to pick up Zhan Zhao.Before the two left, Liu Rong handed Zhan Zhao a scarf. "I lost that one last time."

"You have sharp eyes."

Liu Rong was laughed at by her nephew. "My aunt wove this one herself. It's warm. Take it with you."

"Yes." Zhan Zhao took the scarf and put it around his neck.

Bai Yutang turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao.The red and black wide scarf matched with the dark blue coat was very harmonious, and it made Zhan Zhao's handsome face stand out even more.Insincerely boasting: "It looks good."

"Xiaobai likes it too?" Her own son didn't even bring it with her. When Liu Rong heard that someone liked it, she felt really flattered. "Auntie Qianming will weave one for you too."

"Then I'll trouble you, it will be the same as Zhan Zhao."

"Success. It will be finished in two days."

Zhan Zhao watched Bai Yutang and his aunt singing along, smiling and not speaking.After walking out the gate with Bai Yutang, he cast a contemptuous glance at the person next to him.

"I remember that you never wear the scarf your mother knitted for you."

"She doesn't knit well."

"It doesn't look good and you still throw it to me?!"

Bai Yutang grinned secretly.When he was in high school, his mother would knit a scarf for him every winter, and every time he would throw it to Zhan Zhao, and then grab the scarf belt Zhan Zhao bought.Thinking about how domineering she was before, she quickly pretended to be good. "I've never seen you so stingy before. Why bring up old things? Otherwise, I'll treat you tonight as an apology."

"This time please your fourth brother, I should pay for it. Yours will be saved for another time, and I will kill you well."

"Just like you?" Bai Yutang raised his head and looked Zhan Zhao up and down. "It's not that I underestimate you, I guess you can't even order a place to eat, and you still want to kill me?"

Zhan Zhao glared at him without saying a word, and continued walking forward.

Bai Yutang nudged Zhan Zhao with his elbow. "Hey, this is more true."

"Do you think they are all like you?" Suddenly stopped, Zhan Zhao covered his mouth and nose, and sneezed firmly. "Ah Choo—"

"Have a cold?"

"No, the nose is a little itchy." Wiping the corners of his eyes and rubbing his nose, Zhan Zhao asked, "What does your fourth brother do?"

"I used to study scene design, but now I have opened my own company, engaged in house design and decoration, and he is mainly in charge of computer graphics. If you really open a bookstore in the future, ask my fourth brother to give you advice. He has a good brain and understands these market conditions all the time." Just touch it."

Zhan Zhao secretly sighed, and smiled helplessly: "The horoscope has not been written yet, let's talk about it when the time comes."

It was less than five o'clock when we arrived at the Jinyu Building Tennis Hall, and Jiang Ping hadn't come yet.The two bought water and sat down in a window seat in the lobby.Bai Yutang itself was enough to attract attention, and now there was a handsome and handsome man beside him, causing everyone to look at them from time to time, making Zhan Zhao feel awkward.

"Being an actor is really not easy." Zhan Zhao expressed his feelings.

"I'm used to it." Bai Yutang smiled easily.

Zhan Zhao picked up the mineral water, unscrewed the cap and took a sip.He admired Bai Yutang a lot, and also envied his character of going his own way.If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to get used to it in his life.

"Fourth brother, what about this." Just as he was thinking, Bai Yutang suddenly stood up and waved to the door.Zhan Zhao quickly put down the mineral water and stood up.

When I saw Jiang Ping again, I felt less strange, but more dramatic.

"I don't need to introduce, Zhan Zhao, just follow me and call him fourth brother." Bai Yutang said carelessly.

Jiang Ping said politely: "Fifth brother, you don't even ask what Zhan Zhao means."

Zhan Zhao was very happy, called fourth brother, and stretched out his hand.Jiang Ping was taken aback for a moment, and quickly shook back with a smile.

"It's time, let's go in." Bai Yutang said.

The three of them came to the enclosed tennis hall, which was very large, with a total of six tennis courts, and the silver lights on the ceiling illuminated the hall like daytime.They set up the second venue.The three of them walked over and stopped at the bench next to them.

"Mao'er, wait here, my fourth brother and I are going to change clothes."

"Cat what?" Jiang Ping scratched his neck, unable to understand.Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang out of the corner of his eye, bowed his head and let out a dry cough.

"Let's go, fourth brother, go change clothes."

"It's Zhan Zhao's first time here, so you take him first." Jiang Ping said as he sat down on the bench, putting the racket and the bag of sportswear aside.

"He's free today. Let's fight."

Jiang Ping muttered in his heart, the fifth younger brother is usually quite smart, but what a fool he is today.Shall I play wool with you?Doesn't this leave Zhan Zhao alone?

Seeing Jiang Ping in a daze, Bai Yutang picked him up and wanted to leave. "Don't dawdle, we've only booked for an hour."

Chong Zhanzhao nodded, Jiang Ping grabbed the bag and Bai Yutang and walked towards the changing room.After walking a certain distance, Jiang Ping guessed that Zhan Zhao could not hear the conversation between the two of them, so he hurriedly approached Bai Yutang and asked, "Fifth Brother, what's the deal with this? Just leave Zhan Zhao alone like this?"

"Don't worry, Zhan Zhao won't mind."

"He doesn't mind, I mind." Jiang Ping yelled in a low voice. "Originally, the role of the light bulb is difficult enough. If you return such a high wattage, you are not afraid that your fourth brother will burn the wire and burst the bubble?"

"Fourth brother, where are you going? He's just sick and has no energy." Jiang Ping's exaggerated statement made Bai Yutang laugh, and couldn't help teasing a few words: "If he can fight, you won't be in it."

"I said, why are you so kind today, and you insist on fighting me?" Jiang Ping stroked the stubble on his mouth, and gave Bai Yutang a contemptuous look.

After changing his clothes, Bai Yutang turned his head and patted Jiang Ping's shoulder. "After the game is over, Zhan Zhao treats guests, and fourth brother will give me some face?"

"I order a place?"

"That is."

"Then I'm not welcome, it's Caomin Restaurant."

"Fourth brother, you are good at spotting, I have to ask Zhan Zhao later if he has enough money with him."

"He didn't bring enough money, so he still has you, right?" Jiang Ping raised his eyebrows proudly, letting you hurt his brother, and you have good fruit to eat.

When the two of them changed their clothes and went back to the venue, a young couple on the No. [-] venue had already started fighting.Zhan Zhao was sitting on the bench, tilting his head with his chin resting in his hands, and he was looking engrossed.Bai Yutang walked up to Zhan Zhao and stood still, touching Zhan Zhao's shoe with his foot. "I said, if you keep staring at others like this, be careful that the man will come and beat you later."

When Fourth Master Jiang heard this, a row of black lines appeared on his head.Without saying a word, he took the racket and ran to the opposite field.

Zhan Zhao turned his face and raised his head, and unceremoniously rolled Bai Yutang's eyes. "Go and play, you don't want to hinder me from studying golf skills here."

Bai Yutang smiled, turned around and ran into the field.He stood on the side with his back to Zhan Zhao, so he couldn't see Zhan Zhao chasing his gaze.When he turns to the left, his eyes turn to the left; when he jumps, his heart jumps into the sky.Bai Yutang swung the racket up and down, and Zhan Zhao clenched his hands, feeling that his arms and wrists were also full of strength.The sound of hitting the ball, like an amplified heartbeat, instilled vitality into his life.He suddenly thought of the boy he had known when he was sick, the blond boy who lived next door to him before he was transferred to the isolation ward.He didn't know what disease the boy had, only that he couldn't walk normally on his two legs since he was born.The boy would often come to chat with him on crutches and show him pictures of him.He couldn't describe how he felt when he saw those photos, all spread out on the white sheets were all healthy legs, sitting, standing, lying down; children's, adult's; men's Women, women; all legs, and only legs.Looking at the boy's innocent smile, he couldn't say anything as if his throat was blocked by a big rock, so he could only give him the same smile.He knew it was a desire, just as he now desires to step onto the field.But he was lucky, a million times luckier than that boy, because he had 21 healthy years.The boy's smile was imprinted in his heart. Faced with a cruel and ruthless fate, a boy can smile so calmly, why can't he? !

Jiang Ping was standing on the side opposite Zhan Zhao. At the beginning, he was completely devoting himself to playing the ball, but slowly, a sight quietly attracted his attention.Although he was not looking at him, he could feel the concentration and enthusiasm.Yes, enthusiastic, Jiang Ping thought, he did not use the wrong word.That was Zhan Zhao looking at the fifth younger brother, and cast his eyes on the fifth younger brother's figure.He missed a beat in a trance.Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Jiang Ping trotted to pick up the rolling ball, shook his hand at Bai Yutang, walked to the bench, and sat down next to Zhan Zhao.

"Are you going to fight for a while?" Jiang Ping asked.

"No, you guys fight." Zhan Zhao replied with a smile.

"It's a coincidence that you are in the hospital. I heard from my fifth brother that your illness is just right?"

His heart beat faster for no reason, Zhan Zhao staggered his gaze to cover up his nervousness. "The last time I was in a hurry, I didn't look behind me..."

"It's okay, but your body is not knocked down, is it?"

Before Zhan Zhao could answer, Bai Yutang squatted down and grabbed Zhan Zhao's right hand, rolled up his sleeve and put it under Jiang Ping's eyes. "It's like this."

Before Jiang Ping could see clearly, he saw a bruise flash past his eyes.Zhan Zhao withdraws his hand seemingly casually but secretly with force, and puts down his cuff with a smile. "Fourth brother, don't listen to his nonsense."

The impact in the hospital was not small, otherwise the briefcase would not have been thrown like that.Jiang Ping quickly asked, "Did you hurt your bones?"

"No." Zhan Zhao's heart was pounding, but there was still a gentle smile on his face. "It's just that the briefcase of the fourth brother was scrapped. I'm really sorry. And I shouldn't have left the phone and ran away."

"I said you two are stupid enough." Bai Yutang successfully attracted double firepower with one sentence.Jiang Ping and Zhan Zhao looked at him together, with the expression "you're stupid" in their eyes.Bai Yutang ignored it, sat down on the other side of Zhan Zhao, took out a towel to wipe off his sweat, and said unhurriedly, "Let's talk about Zhan Zhao first, and you won't be afraid of being blackmailed if you leave a phone call. Do strangers leave phone numbers? Remember, don’t do such stupid things in the future. Besides, your fourth brother, you didn’t confirm the mobile phone number I left for you at the time. What if it’s fake? What if it’s a liar? You don’t need to accompany me You have to drag him to accompany you."

Jiang Ping was dumbfounded, and sighed: "Fifth brother, the liar saw you, he probably had to raise his feet and surrender."

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he turned to look at Bai Yutang, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
