The Surrey night sky in December is gloomy and deep, and some starlight can be caught vaguely, but most of it is hidden behind the thick clouds, neither magnificent nor bright; The bright moon in the layers of clouds quietly revealed a face, clear moonlight is still not enough to disperse the rich night, the whole world seems to be wrapped in a large dark.
In the countryside, before nine o'clock in the night, I fell asleep; All sounds are quiet, can only vaguely see a bar is still open, but the faint cream yellow halo is more and more set off the surrounding quiet and peaceful, it seems that even the insects have completely disappeared.
Lanli and Rooney sat side by side under the night sky. There were two empty seats between them. Politely and distantly, they opened the distance without meandering or ambiguity. Even the intimacy and familiarity between friends seemed to disappear. On the contrary, because of the obvious distance, they set off a little strange.
But this kind of inexperience is not reflected in the conversation.
"God, it is estimated that we are the only people in the world who will choose this kind of night to watch the stars." Rouge make complaints about it, and then search the sky above seriously. "Even so, can you find the location of the constellation?"
"Sorry, I'm not a laser eye or professor X. I'm afraid I can't help." Lan Li spread out his hands and said calmly.
With such a sudden cold humor, Rooney turned her head and cast her eyes at Lan Li. Then she rubbed her arm with exaggeration. It seemed that she was shaking off the goose bumps.
But Lan Li's face was calm and uninspired. Lu Ni rolled her eyes helplessly and looked at the sky again. "Who knows? Maybe the sky in Scotland is clear and bright, and it will be a perfect place to watch the stars After the voice fell, both of them did not continue to speak, so they were silent.
Looking at the stars hanging in the sky, one or two, it seems that you can easily pick out each one hanging in the dark blue sky; But they all know that's not all. Behind those clouds, there are many more stars.
"Did you find it?" Without warning, LUNI asked. Lanli didn't know, so she cast her eyes to ask. LUNI turned her head and said with a smile, "when another ray of light disappeared, did you find the person who would care?"
Lan Li was stunned.
This is a topic he inadvertently raised when he and Rooney accidentally met under the stars after the Academy Awards ceremony at the beginning of this year. Later, this one handy lyrics, evolved into the theme song of heather cross foundation, "another light.".
I didn't expect that Rooney could remember.
Lanli's eyes fell between LUNI's eyebrows, capturing the dexterity and concentration in her eyes. There was no tension, no fear, no avoidance. She just calmly met lanli's gaze, and the light clearly projected all the scenes, including himself. Then she saw that LUNI's pupil flickered and slipped through a narrow, which made lanli dumbfounded.
"Yes, I found it." Lan Li nodded gently, and his smile rose little by little. Then, he nodded for the second time. "In fact, he found a lot."
The achievements of the heather cross foundation are obvious to all.
Some people may say that the "ice bucket challenge" is just a sensational hype. When the challenge is over, people will only remember those stars who participated in the challenge. No one will remember amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at all, and no one will remember Heather cross, the nameless little girl.
But for Langley, he never worried.
It doesn't matter that no one is in ALS, no one remembers Heather cross, no one pays attention to vulnerable groups with rare diseases, because the heather Cross Foundation will continue to pay attention, because he will always remember.
Another vanishing light is the significance of the existence of the heather cross foundation.
"Heather cross, she's no longer a trivial light." Said Rooney softly.
The smile on the corner of lanli's mouth stopped slightly, then rose up, "now, we are looking forward to, this light can shine to more light, all over the sky, those dazzling constellations already have too much attention, maybe, it's time to focus on other places."
This is also one of the most important meanings of charity activities.
Rooney nodded gently. "It's like American Idol?"
Such an analogy made Langley dumbfounded, gently shrugged his shoulders, nodded in affirmation, "yes, just like 'American Idol'
"So, what kind of girl is Heather?" "I mean, it's not the symbol on the media, it's Heather in life, the girl who dreams of standing on the stage and singing," she added
Lanli didn't answer, and his eyes fell on Rooney. He couldn't find an accurate way to express his complicated thoughts for a moment.
He didn't really talk about heather. It used to be, and it is now.
Not only in front of the media, but also in front of friends, such as Ryan Gosling, Paul Walker and so on, they have never really talked with each other; Jennifer Lawrence was the only friend who knew Heather, but they didn't quiet down and have a long talk.
On the one hand, he didn't want to disturb Heather's life, and the life of the cross couple. He knew better than anyone how terrible the ubiquitous paparazzi was, and the cross family were just ordinary people.
On the other hand, it is because of selfishness. In Heather's body, he can always pry into his last life. Talking about Heather, it's like showing his most private part, which is daunting.
After all, the heather Cross Foundation has entered the public eye. Before that, "one person's concert" also actively shared the story of heather; It's just... It's just that there's no such opportunity or occasion to have a deep conversation.
Now, Rooney mentioned it.
Lanli's first reaction is vigilance. The alienation of self-protection is unfolding automatic defense.
But Rooney didn't seem to notice the change of Langley's expression, and then said, "I remember reading a report before and I was deeply impressed. It said that if Heather had a chance to stand on the stage of" American Idol ", then she would perform the song" beast ". Is that true?"
Lu Ni's eyes were full of sincerity, no sadness, no pity, and no exploration. It was more like talking about a kind friend. The radiance of her mouth was shallow, and the light of her eyes was warm. "God, why would she want to sing this song? I mean, she's only sixteen, isn't she? This song is really too vicissitudes, I think, should not be suitable for her voice
Involuntarily, Lan Li nodded with a smile and agreed, "right? I think so too. That's how I tried to persuade her, but she always insisted that this song was her melody. "
"What? Why? Does one of the lyrics resonate with her LUNI's rhetorical question brightened lanli's eyes slightly, showing a look of surprise, "yes, that's what she said, she said..."
Those memories, still vivid, blurted out like this, the wheel of time seems to return to the distant past: Heather is still preparing for the "American Idol" Audition; Every time he returned to New York, he would still go to mount Sinai Hospital to visit the children
Deep in his heart, he has been waiting, waiting to open the wound, waiting to wake up the memory, waiting for the topic to become a part of life instead of taboo.
Annie silyman, Alex Ricky and so on, those names that haven't been mentioned for a long time, come up again, but there is no strangeness in the imagination. All the memories, all the interesting things, all the stories are endless and endless, and the whole world is brightened up little by little.
Rooney listened attentively, chipped in from time to time, and curiously put forward more ideas. Slowly, the vivid and vivid images were outlined in her mind, so that she could not help but get ready to make friends with those lovely children, to be friends, to play together.
This is a different blue ceremony.
In his body, filled with a faint smell of sunshine, dry and bright, pure and simple, and even some naive and stupid who are not familiar with the world, can not find the noble's reserve and repression, but... Full of vitality, like the first ray of spring on the green bud.
Everyone is praising the social changes brought about by the heather cross foundation, which may even have a tremendous impact on the whole philanthropy. However, Langley has never come forward to accept these praise and aura. Now, Rooney understands why.
For Langley, it's just for the girl named Heather, and for Don Quixote, whose heart is still beating in his chest.
"Rooney?" Lanli noticed that Rooney's eyes were gradually distracted. The focus seemed to be a little blurred. He could not help raising his eyebrows and calling, "it seems that my topic is too boring. You are distracted. Maybe I should show some gentleman's manners."
She tried to explain, but she didn't know where to start. Her eyes fell between Lan Li's eyebrows. Without warning, she began to sing softly
"Don't, don't punish me for what I feel; Don't, don't punish me for suffering my soul. "
Time, stop at this moment.
