Chapter 399

With a breath from the bottom of his heart, Langley takes his eyes back and says to Derek sincerely, "I'm sorry, Derek."

Derek shakes his head and smiles at lenley. "You don't need to be sorry. I should be grateful. I'm not a good father. " Derek had a look of remorse on his face. Today, he was supposed to come out with Heather, but he broke his appointment“ Thank you. Thank you for being with Heather all day

After leaving the cinema, Langley immediately updated the situation to Derek, and recorded today's happy moment with photos as much as possible, looking for a gap and sending it to Derek to make him feel at ease as much as possible.

Judging from the state of Derek when he appeared, he should have just finished his busy work and rushed over immediately. Langley knows that Derek is doing his best. He and Ellie are both.

"Paul will be angry if I take all the credit." Lenley made a little joke to ease the atmosphere a little bit. Derek quickly expressed his thanks to Paul.

In between, Lily and Heather come out again.

At this time, although her eyes were a little red and swollen, she finally recovered to her usual appearance, but it was inevitable that she was still lonely in her expression. She forced herself to smile, but she could not hide her inner loss.

Derek can see that Heather is in a bit of a low mood, but he finds it difficult to communicate with his daughter. If only Ellie were here.

Derek is a little anxious, but he has no way to start; Looking at the time, it's past Heather's usual time to go to bed. Because of his worry about Heather's health, Derek can only temporarily suppress his worry and leave.

Hearing Derek's words, Heather looked up at his father and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end and fell back into the wheelchair again. Even if you stay a little longer, so what? It's over. It's over after all. Even if it's not now, this wonderful day will come to an end.

Derek's struggle, Heather's depression, and lenley are all in the eye. Even if you want to help, you don't know where to start. As a friend, the help he can offer is very limited; No one can replace the position of family.

After thinking about it, Langley said with a smile, "Derek, why don't you sit down and have a rest, and let Heather enjoy his youth. He's still young at night; You can also relax and ask for something to fill your stomach Lanli said slowly, then joked, "later, I'm going to perform on stage. I'm a little worried that the audience won't buy it. Would you like to stay and support me?"

Derek opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to respond; Eyes fell on Heather, and then caught her daughter's faint expectation. Now that they've all come out, I don't know when I'm going out next time. Why not delay for another half an hour?

"Good." Derek nodded and agreed. Heather's face showed a smile again, which made Derek feel a little relaxed.

But Paul looked at him in shock, and his face was full of incomprehension - how could he never know that he had plans to perform tonight? Lanli didn't mention it at all!

Lanli patted Paul on the shoulder and walked toward the stage without too much explanation. Paul, who left his face full of consternation, looked at Heather and Lily and asked, "what's going on?"

Lily, who was standing beside her, was even more confused. She didn't understand what was going on. Then she came up to Heather and asked in a low voice, "can lenley sing?"

Heather chuckled and triumphantly sold the key. "Don't you know? Lan Li is a sound maniac who can't complete five tones, so he is famous. Many people come here specially to listen to his singing, which is out of tune. "

But lanli didn't know that he was teased by Heather and performed live, which was his temporary decision.

He saw the shadow of himself and dinyanan in Heather and Derek; In Heather, he saw himself.

They always try to communicate, but they always fail; They try to understand each other, but they can't find the right way. If they can build a bridge of dialogue, will things be easier?

He didn't know, and he didn't have a chance to know. But at least, Heather, Derek and Ellie have a chance.

As a bystander, he can't and shouldn't meddle in other people's family affairs. He has no such qualification. He can only serve as a friend, and hope to become a starting point for their communication. The rest of the problems will be solved by themselves. That's at least what he can do.

As for the introduction, what is more appropriate than music? The same song, in different people's ears, in different periods, will have different experience.

"Ladies and gentlemen." The jazz performance just ended. Neil stepped onto the stage to perform. "The formal performance tonight is over. However, there is a little surprise today. We specially invited an old friend to share this wonderful evening with you. Next, let's welcome the Pioneer Village, Langley hall

In a flash, whistles and applause rang out on the scene, and the familiar guests all began to roar. All kinds of shouts came one after another. Lily was stunned and looked left and right at a loss. She didn't expect such a situation at all; Even Paul also showed a surprise expression, full of incredible.

Heather is suddenly quiet down, she has been waiting for this day, hoping to see the live performance of lanli, did not expect, unexpectedly realized. This day is too beautiful, beautiful as a dream, it seems that the moment when the dream wakes up is the end of her life, the kind of light sadness is always floating in her chest, lingering.

Just watching Langley step onto the stage, Heather's vision was blurred. But this time, instead of collapsing, she raised her hands high, clapped hard, and yelled with everyone. She enjoyed the moment heartily and wantonly.

With his guitar on his back, lanli walked to the center of the stage and joked casually to the microphone, "it seems that there are a lot of people who want to see my embarrassment tonight." This immediately made everyone laugh.

Sitting on a wooden chair, Langley began to tune skillfully. "It's a beautiful night. At least there's no blizzard in New York. I hope I don't ruin this good job. " The banter caused a laugh again. With that, Lan Li raised his left hand, crossed his index finger and middle finger, and made a gesture of prayer, which made everyone more happy.

Lan Li calmed down and let his thoughts settle down slowly. But I can't help thinking of Ding Yanan in my mind.

He once complained about whether his life would have a completely different track if his mother had not bound his wings; He was once angry. If his mother didn't impose ideas on him, could he pursue his dreams freely; He once regretted that if it wasn't for his mother's excessive love, he could at least have a happy childhood.

However, as time goes by, those negative emotions have disappeared. Because he knows that life is made up of countless choices, and each choice makes him who he is now, including those right, wrong and unable to judge.

Maybe, he can have a happier childhood, maybe, he can freely pursue his dreams, maybe, he can have a different future, but, he is no longer him, he will not become the present blue rite.

In his life, Ding Yanan is not only an irreplaceable part, but also a crucial part. Because in those happy, hard, sweet, painful Road, she always accompanied around, she never gave up.

Looking up, through the golden halo, you can see the location of heather and others vaguely. Derek is sitting beside her.

The corners of the mouth can't help but outline a shallow arc. The fingertips don't outline the strings, so they sing with a clear voice

"My love, don't worry any more. When the world is cold and the heart is heavy, I'll give you a warm hug, never let go, never let go until my blood dries up. Don't worry any more. I firmly believe that we will go forward bravely."

The sincere and simple lyrics, without any unnecessary modification, are just like a piece of writing paper to a loved one, a friend, and a relative. The dry paper exudes the smell of ink. You can feel the ups and downs of the gestures when you touch the fingertips. You can picture the appearance of the desk writing in your mind, and the space distance seems to disappear quietly, Even the psychological barriers have been pierced.

Heather sat in the same place and listened attentively. The gentle words danced on her eardrum, like the sunshine in the midsummer afternoon, passing through the dense treetops of the forest and falling on the green grass. She could clearly see the scene of dust flying up and down. Time seemed to be confined in that meter of sunshine.

Moving voice, no obstacle to hit the heart of the soft rib, bitter in the tip of the tongue pan open, smile up in the corner of the mouth, tears rolled up in the fundus of the eye, even before there is time to respond, the light in the line of sight blurred, warm happiness in the chest rampant, stuffy, some dull pain, it is so real.

It turns out that this is the shape of happiness.

Under the light of bathing, Lan Li lowered her head and stopped singing. Her eyes fell on the strings. Her fingertips moved gently. The clear string sound was like a gurgling spring. It seemed that you could see the musical symbols dancing among the strings like spirits with wings.

It's so simple, simple to the extreme, without any fancy decoration, but it's so beautiful that people are intoxicated. The light melody is surging, pulling the corners of the mouth to outline it. I can't help but fight with the rhythm. The warm music converges into a long river, which makes people melt in this happy moment little by little.
