They're just a bunch of kids. They know nothing, but they know everything.
Lanli looked down at his palm, in which there was a little doll of Captain America, the size of a finger. This was given to him by Alex just before he left the ward. His bright eyes were covered with tears, and his face was full of smiles. "Lanli, do you think I will become as strong as Captain America?"
The trembling little hand tightly grasped Lan Li's palm, revealing his inner fear. However, he stubbornly refused to say it, just didn't want his parents to worry.
"No, not at all." Langley replied, "because Alex is much stronger than Captain America. The real strength is not here. " He pointed to his heart, then to his brain, "and here it is. So, Alex is the strongest kid I know
He gently closed the palm, plastic dolls angular, the palm of the tender meat faint pain, but so real.
Ear came the trivial sound of foot and ground friction, and then a figure on the right side of the bench sat down. It's heather. However, she did not speak, just quietly looking at the front is not beautiful nor magnificent scenery, let the silence spread, after a short time, suddenly said, "Alex went in." Then there was silence again, and the voice was drowned in the afternoon gale of New York.
"That's a good thing." Lan Li said.
This is indeed a good thing. After waiting for three years, I finally found a matching heart, won the chance to get rid of congenital heart disease, and finally gained the possibility to officially open my life. As long as the heart transplant is successful, the body won't reject it.
Heather nodded and repeated, "that's a good thing."
It's a good thing, but the voice is shaking slightly. Any operation, even with a 99% success rate, still has a 1% possibility of failure. A hapless person, even an appendicitis, may stay in that operating room forever.
Optimistic people see 99%; Pessimists see one percent. But in Lan Li's view, people with crystal clear minds see 99 percent of what they see; People who have gone through the vicissitudes of life see one percent. For those who are indifferent to life and death, what they see is a turning point in life. As for the scenery ahead, it doesn't matter.
After all, Lan Li was not able to see through.
"That's a good thing." Heather repeated a second time, and then a smile rose from the corner of his mouth. "At least he got a chance to let go."
Lenley looks up at heather. But he forgot that for Heather, she didn't even have a chance to let go. However, there was no resentment between Heather's eyebrows, and there was no worldly indignation. Instead, she was calm and clear, just like the light of the morning on the top of the tree in early spring.
Heather turned his head to meet lanli's eyes, showing a big smile, "the schedule is out." Langley didn't know, so Heather went on to explain that "the audition schedule for American Idol has come out."
Lan Li's eyebrows were gently picked, and her joy seemed to ripple in her eyes,
"The first game is on the last Friday in September, in Minnesota. I really want to go there." Heather crossed her hands and stretched her waist. She had some difficulty in doing such a simple action. Her fingers were slightly twisted and her arms could not be extended. However, she did it after all. "If I told my mother that I wanted to go to Minnesota to participate in the first audition, would she nod her head?"
Looking at Heather's bright and light smile, the corner of lanli's mouth rose with him. "You clearly have the answer. Why do you want to ask me?" Alice will agree, but only if the doctor nods.
Ellie and Derek love Heather very much, but they don't lose their principles. They don't let her do anything recklessly because of Heather's illness, but they don't confine her in a cage because of her illness. What Heather needs is not special treatment, but equal treatment. It's hard, it's hard, but Ellie and Derek are trying.
Heather rolled over a blank look and make complaints about it. "It's boring." But Lan Li didn't retort, just chuckled. Heather raised his chin, "but I'm in a good mood today, so I won't care about you. I'm going to audition in New Jersey. There is no audition site in New York this year, but the East Rutherford stadium in New Jersey. "
"Oh, the home of the New York Giants." The New York Giant is a team of the American Football League. It once won the league's highest honor Super Bowl twice. "That stadium can hold more than 50000 people, nearly 60000 people. Well, I can already foresee that the competition is bound to be very fierce. "
After getting more detailed information about the audition, Heather's face became excited, "really? Do you think there will be a sea of people at the scene? How many hours does it take to line up? Maybe the audition will take three days! " Excited, Heather could not help dancing, "the audition on February 13, is the penultimate stop of the whole audition. Do you think that's why? "
Each audition may take three to five days, because there are too many participants. Therefore, the audition starts from the last week of September and continues to January next year.
"Maybe." Langley shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal. "February 13, which means you only have four months to practice. Are you sure you want to play and sing by yourself? "
"If I don't play and sing by myself, and I don't have a tape, what should I do?" Heather looked at Lan Li with a look of resentment, and condemned Lan Li's "irresponsibility" both inside and outside.
Heather had told Langley before that she decided to sing the "beast" and participate in the audition of "American Idol". To this end, she has been practicing guitar for a long time, and also as part of her rehabilitation life. However, time goes by. For four months, no one knows whether Heather's condition will worsen in early February and whether he can play the guitar completely.
Heather wants to participate in the first audition in September, in addition to the unbearable excitement and excitement, there is no such worry in her heart.
"Are you sure?" "Beast" is not a song suitable for singing competition Lan Li expressed his concern in a friendly way, only to see Heather pull the corner of his mouth, showing a silent expression of "I'm not worried, what are you worried about?" which made Lan Li's smile bloom and slowly fall into the bottom of his eyes. "Then, this gift just came."
Lanli takes the bag off his shoulder, takes out the album and hands it to heather.
Heather took it, puzzled, and looked at it carefully. At the beginning, he didn't react. He turned over and looked at the back cover. His eyes were round, and he looked up at Lan Li in surprise. He looked at the expression on that face with ecstasy. Then he found his own answer in the clear and meaningful eyebrows. The scream came out from the corner of his mouth, "ah!"
Then she bit her lower lip to avoid losing control of her emotions, but her hands and feet still began to tremble and tried her best to express her happiness. Turn back to the cover and take a serious look, "Don Quixote." Fingertips dancing on the cover, whispered the familiar and strange name, seemed to chew the meaning behind the word, suddenly, tears burst.
Lan Li didn't expect such a reaction. He hurriedly searched for something that could wipe his tears, but got nothing.
Heather immediately burst into laughter, crying and laughing, looking very embarrassed. She raised her vigorous face, didn't cover up her tears, and didn't care about her embarrassment. "Can you sign for me?"
Looking at Heather's tearful but proud expression, Lan Li chuckled and nodded, "of course."
Heather immediately tried to tear open the outer package of the album, but her fingers didn't listen and didn't tear it open for a moment. She was a little worried, but she didn't ask for help from Lan Li. Instead, she found the bond attentively, seriously and devoted. Then she pulled it apart and her smile rose from the bottom of her heart.
Langley took the album and opened the inside page. He wrote a sentence in the blank and then signed his name. After that, he handed it to Heather again.
Heather looked at the album attentively, and was reluctant to leave the album, as if it was the most precious gift in the world, until she took the album, looked at the natural and unrestrained font, and read it out quietly.
"To Heather cross,
Pay homage to those things that darkness can never take away from us, pay homage to those dreams that set sail. A warrior, a warrior, a dreamer, a Don Quixote walking alone.
Forever Langley hall, your fellow traveler. "
Heather laughed and wantonly laughed, but tears could not help falling down. These are happy tears, beautiful and sweet. She raised her head and looked at Lan Li. Through the hazy sight, her smile stayed in the deep of her smart eyes. This kind of heather is so beautiful that it is in full bloom at the age of 16.
Then Heather lowered his head again and began to make complaints about his inner pages. He could not help but Tucao, "God, you are really low-key. For fear that anyone will know, is this your album? " There are no photos of people in the inside pages, but all are photos of Bulgari. There are guitars left alone on the ground in the rental house, a sea of people in the subway light and shadow, and drunkards singing in the street at midnight... But there are no positive faces, let alone blue Li.
"The secret is for the careful." Lan Li said with a smile.
Then Heather turned to the last page of the inner page.
A man sits cross legged on the street side of Manhattan's Greenwich Village. Behind him is a shabby stone wall bar. Next to it is a garbage truck and two tramps lying in the corner. It looks like a mess, with dark gray walls, brick red roofs, sea blue doors, wine red window lattice and stone gray floor.
The man just sat on the street, white T-shirt and black jeans, all over without any extra clothes, simple and generous, handsome and meaningful, it seems that when he just raised his head, the camera caught the moment, the bright and bright eyes left a mark in the moment.
That's Langley hall.
