Three Hundred and Ninety-Eight Empathy

With a soft sigh in his heart, Renly retracted his gaze and said sincerely to Derek, "Sorry, Derek."

But Derek shook his head and smiled at Renly, "You don't need to be sorry, I should be the one to express my gratitude. I'm not a competent father." Derek's face showed a self-blame expression, He was supposed to bring Heather out today, but he missed the appointment. "Thank you, thank you for accompanying Heather all day today."

After leaving the movie theater, Renly updated Derek on the situation as soon as possible, and recorded today's happy moments with photos as much as possible, and sent them to Derek to find a space to reassure him.

Judging from the state of Derek when he appeared, he should have just finished his busy work and rushed over immediately. Renly knew that Derek was doing his best, both he and Allie.

"Paul will be angry if I take the credit alone." Renly joked a little to ease the atmosphere a little, and Derek hurriedly thanked Paul again.

During the conversation, Lily and Heather came out again.

At this time, Heather's eyes were a little red and swollen, but he finally regained his usual appearance, but his expression was unavoidably a little lonely, and his forced smile could not hide his inner loss.

Derek could see that Heather was in a low mood, but he felt it was difficult, and he didn't know how to communicate with his daughter. It would be nice if Ellie was here.

Derek was a little anxious, but he couldn't start; looking at the time, it was already past Heather's usual time to go to bed and rest, because he was worried about Heather's physical condition, Derek could only temporarily suppress his worries and leave.

Hearing Derek's words, Heather raised her head and looked at her father, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, and fell back into the wheelchair again in despair. Even if it stays a little longer, so what? It's over, it's going to end. Even if it's not now, this beautiful day will still end.

Derek's struggle, Heather's frustration, Renly saw it all. Even if you want to help, you don't know where to start. As a friend, the help he can provide is very limited; as a family, no one can replace it.

After thinking about it, Renly persuaded with a smile, "Derek, why don't you sit down and rest for a while, let Heather enjoy her youth, and she is still young at night; you can also relax and ask for something to cushion your stomach." Renly said calmly, and then joked, "Wait a minute, I'm going to perform on stage, I'm a little worried that the audience won't buy it, are you willing to stay and cheer?"

Derek opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond, so he couldn't help laughing dumbly; his eyes fell on Heather, and then he caught his daughter's vague expectation. Now that they have already come out, why don't you know when the next time you will go out will be delayed for another half an hour?

"Okay." Derek nodded and agreed, and Heather's face returned to a smile, which made Derek feel slightly relaxed.

Paul looked at Renly in shock, his face full of puzzlement - how did he never know that Renly had plans to perform tonight? Renly didn't mention it at all!

Renly patted Paul on the shoulder and walked towards the stage with a smile without explaining too much. Leaving Paul with a stunned face, he cast a questioning look at Heather and Lily, "What's going on?"

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

Heather burst into laughter and smugly said, "Don't you know? Renly is a tone-deaf idiot, so he is famous for it, and many people come to listen to him sing, the kind that is out of tune. "

But Renly didn't know that he was teased by Heather, and he made a temporary decision to perform live.

He saw the shadows of himself and Ding Yanan in Heather and Derek; in Heather, he saw himself.

The same is true for them, always trying to communicate, but always failing; trying to understand each other, but never finding the right way. Wouldn't things be easier if they could build a bridge of dialogue between them?

He didn't know, and he never had the chance to know. But at least, Heather and Derek and Ellie still have a chance.

As a bystander, he cannot and should not interfere in other people's family affairs, he is not qualified. As a friend, he can only attract others, hoping that it can be a starting point for their communication, and the remaining problems will be solved by them themselves. At least that's what he can do.

As for the introduction, what could be more appropriate than music? The same song, in the ears of different people, in different periods, will have different experiences.

"Gentlemen and ladies." The jazz performance was just over, and Neil stepped onto the stage to join the show, "Tonight's regular performance has ended, but there is a little surprise today, which we specially invited. An old friend to share this wonderful evening with all of you. Next comes the dedication of the Pioneer Village, please, Renly-Hall."

In an instant, whistles and applause rang out at the scene, and the regular customers all started booing, and all kinds of shouts came one after another. Lily was stunned and looked around at a loss, not expecting such a situation at all. ; Even Paul showed a surprised expression, his eyes full of incredible.

Heather suddenly quieted down. She had been waiting for this day, hoping to see Renly perform live, but she didn't expect it to happen. This day was really too beautiful. It was as beautiful as a dream. It seemed that the moment she woke up from the dream was the end of her life.

Just watching Renly walk onto the stage, Heather's vision was already blurred, but this time, instead of breaking down, she raised her hands high, clapped vigorously, and followed everyone in her mouth. Shout out, enjoy the moment to the fullest and wanton.

Renly walked to the center of the stage with the guitar on his back, and said casually into the microphone, "It seems that there are quite a few people who want to see me embarrassing tonight." This made everyone laugh.

Sitting on a wooden chair, Renly began to tune the strings skillfully, "It was a good night, at least there was no blizzard in New York. I hope I won't ruin this goodness." The joking remarks caused another laugh Voice. After speaking, Renly also raised his left hand, crossed his index and middle fingers, and made a gesture of prayer, which made everyone even more joyful.

Renly fell silent, allowing his thoughts to settle slowly. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of Ding Yanan's figure.

He once complained whether his life would have had a very different trajectory if it wasn't for his mother who shackled his wings; he once complained about whether he would be free to chase if his mother hadn't forced his thoughts on him Dream; he once regretted that if it wasn't for his mother's excessive love, then he could at least have a happy childhood.

However, after the passage of time, those negative emotions have disappeared. Because he knows that life is made up of countless choices, and each choice has created the current self, including those right, wrong, and unjudgmental choices.

Maybe he can have a happier childhood, maybe he can chase his dreams recklessly, maybe he can have a different future, but he will no longer be him, and he will not be the blue one he is now. Courtesy.

In his life, Ding Yanan is an irreplaceable part and a crucial part. Because on those happy, hard, sweet and painful roads, she was always by her side, and she never gave up.

He raised his head and passed through the golden halo. He could vaguely see where Heather and others were. Derek was sitting beside her, never leaving.

The corners of his mouth could not help but outline a shallow arc, and his fingertips did not outline the strings, so he sang with a clear voice:

"My love, don't worry anymore, when the world is cold, when the heart is heavy, I will hug warmly, never let go, never, until the blood dries up, I will never leave, don't worry anymore, I firmly believe, We're going to carry on (Carry-On)."

The sincere and simple lyrics, without any extra decoration, flow smoothly and smoothly, just like a letter written to a loved one, a close friend, or a close relative. The dry letter paper exudes the smell of ink, and it can be touched by the fingertips. Feeling the ups and downs of the gesture, I depicted in my mind what it looked like when writing at the desk, the distance in space seemed to disappear quietly, and even the psychological barrier was pierced.

Heather just sat there in a daze, listening intently. The gentle words danced lightly on the eardrums, like the sun on a midsummer afternoon, passing through the dense treetops of the forest and falling on the green grass. Seeing the scene of dust flying up and down, time seemed to be imprisoned under that one meter of sunlight.

The moving voice hit the soft underbelly of the heart without any obstacle, the bitterness spread on the tip of the tongue, the smile rose on the corner of the mouth, the tears rolled in the bottom of the eyes, and before I even had time to react, the lights in my sight were blurred, The warm happiness rampaged in the chest, stuffy, a little aching, but it was so real.

It turned out that this is the shape of happiness.

Under the bathing light, Renly lowered his head and stopped singing, his eyes fell on the strings, his fingertips twitched gently, and the clear string sounded like a gurgling spring, as if he could see the music one by one. The talisman is like an elf with wings, dancing between the strings.

It's so simple, it's extremely simple, without any fancy decorations, but it's so beautiful that it makes people fascinated. The brisk melody is surging, and the corners of the mouth are drawn upward, and I can't help but follow the rhythm and hit it together, The warm musical symbols merge into a long river, making people melt little by little in this happy moment and wander gently.
