Chapter 70
At night, You Yu sent a message to Chi Tang again, without saying anything, just asked: "Are you having a happy day?"
There was still no answer, but You Yu knew that Chi Tang had seen it because the words "entering" often appear on the interface, but they appeared back and forth and disappeared. The information interface was still the only message sent by her.
It has been almost half a month since Chi Tang left the hospital. You Yu is currently living in Teacher Ke's house temporarily. He tutored several children around him during the day and studied in the room at night. Although the senior year of high school has not started yet, she has already completed most of the senior year course content.
Teacher Ke’s husband and children were very polite to her, and You Yu tried not to cause trouble for their family. She was quiet and polite and would help with housework. Although Teacher Ke always said politely that she didn’t want her to do anything, You Yu still helped her wash dishes and sweep the floor, and occasionally gave questions to Teacher Ke’s children.
She lives here very well, and Teacher Ke treats her well, but You Yu still feels that she likes the dormitory even more. Although there is only one bed that belongs to her, it really belongs to her. She is increasingly hoping that there will be a place that can always go back and a place that will make her feel at ease.
Whenever she thinks of this, she will think of Chi Tang. Chi Tang has nowhere to go. Although there has not been a murder in the past, from then on, You Yu felt that Chi Tang is like herself, too homeless. Now she said that when she is with her mother, You Yu is still worried about her. Chi Tang's personality will definitely not treat her mother's place as home. She is like her and does not want to cause trouble to others. How can she live freely in other people's homes?
Being far away and having no communication, You Yu doesn't know if her condition has improved now. Can she eat or sleep?
Teacher Ke’s guest room is not big, with a bed, a desk in front of the window, and a wardrobe. The light from the street lights outside shines in. Outside the room is Teacher Ke’s children watching TV, and Teacher Ke and his wife are chatting in a low voice.
You Yu was sitting at the desk. As soon as he put down his phone, he suddenly felt that the phone had vibrated several times. She subconsciously thought it was Chi Tang who had returned the message, but when she picked it up and looked at it, she found that it was not Chi Tang who sent the message, but Xia Yuanyuan.
During the holiday period, several people in the dormitory often chatted, but most of them chatted in groups. You Yu would occasionally say a word or two, but Chi Tang never appeared at all.
This time Xia Yuanyuan was having a private chat, and she was very excited to send a lot of exclamation marks, "You Yu, go and see the group message! I have shared a video! Come in and watch it!!!"
You Yu first replied to her, and then clicked into the group to read the news. Wei Xingxing and the others had already sent a lot of messages in the group. You Yu looked at their flood of the screen and found that this matter seemed to be related to Chi Tang. She no longer saw what they said, but just slid up continuously, and finally saw the video shared by Xia Yuanyuan.
I don’t know where it was on the street, the small triangle square, the street lights in the shape of flowers, pedestrians stopped, Chi Tang stood there with a guitar in his arms, singing the familiar song "Flowers of Yesterday", which was the theme song she had previously covered at Xia Yuanyuan’s request.
Although the streets are noisy and the singing in the video is not so clear, you can still feel that clear and moving tone from this video.
Xia Yuanyuan saw this link in the comments of Chi Tang’s previous cover video. Although the event has passed, Xia Yuanyuan still watches the comments and barrage of the video from time to time, and happily share it with friends. This time, when I was browsing the comments, I saw someone sending this link, saying that the street singing lady in this video was very similar to the cover video, and asked if it was the same person.
The previous video of Chi Tanglu did not show his face. Unfamiliar people were not sure, but they could tell at a glance that Xia Yuanyuan and the others were so excited.
Wei Xingxing kept sighing: "How long has it been since she appeared? I thought she had gone to the world to cultivate immortals!"
Xia Yuanyuan asked: "She is at her mother's place, right? It's really something to sing on the street!"
Zhang Meng said: "She looks in good condition, so don't worry."
Only You Yu looked at the video several times, and then found the source of the video as prompted, searched for the location of the person who posted the video, and finally concluded that Chi Tang was not like she said before. In her mother's place, she should be in another city.
You Yu almost immediately wanted to ask where Chi Tang was and whether she was alone outside. But she held back. Chi Tang had told them specifically that she was with her mother just to prevent them from worrying about asking. And even if she asked now, Chi Tang might not answer.
Sitting at the table, You Yu took off his glasses, put them on his forehead, closed his eyes and counted 100 numbers silently, then put on his glasses again and looked through other videos posted by the video publisher.
The other party was active in another software that specialized in publishing short videos for photos. The homepage was basically recorded singing videos on the street, and the singing people were different. You Yu quickly found another video with Chi Tang appearing. This video should have been filmed on the same day as the previous one, with the same background and clothes, but the songs sung by Chi Tang were different.
"I kissed you just now, you like it, right?
Otherwise, why would you keep holding my hand
...
Like you slowly
Slowly intimate
Talk about yourself slowly
Walk with you slowly
I want to cooperate with you
Give me to you slowly
…”
You Yu didn't know what song this was. She copied the word and searched online to find out that the song was called "Slowly Like You".
She carefully searched all the videos posted by the person, but except for these two videos, there was no Chi Tang's anymore. She flipped through the comments on this video and happened to see someone asking, "This young lady who sings is sweet and wants to know her, so I'll ask the blogger's young lady's contact information!"
The video publisher replied: "I met her two days ago. She sang two songs and left. She didn't sing there regularly, so I don't know her!"
The world is so small, through the comments of a few strangers, she saw the people she knew and cared about, but the world is so big that it can disappear into the sea of people in a blink of an eye.
You Yu clicked on the dialog box with Chi Tang again, entered and deleted it, and finally issued a sentence: "It's raining again in Nanlin today, where are you?"
Is it raining in Nanlin again?
It was sunny here, and it was especially hot at night. There were too many people on the street. Chi Tang took his cell phone to read the information. After watching for a while, someone next to him called her, "Are you here to sing?"
She put away her phone and walked over, "Sing."
The man asked her, "What are you singing?"
Chi Tang said: "Shenzi Sun's "Rainy Day."
She stood there fiddling with the microphone, listening to the accompaniment, and suddenly thought that although she was on a sunny day, it seemed that it was raining in her heart.
After she finished singing, she was about to leave, and the person who had previously sang with her asked her, "Will you come tomorrow?"
Chi Tang shook his head, "No more."
"Oh, are you going home?"
"No, go and have a look elsewhere."
On the hottest day in August, You Yu was wearing a shirt and trousers, sitting in the window of someone else's homework, watching his child do his homework. The sixth-grade girl was frowning at her homework. The sun was too bright outside, and the air conditioner in the house made a slight buzzing sound.
"Sister, I don't know how to do this."
You Yu took back his unconscious distracted gaze from the window, took out the draft paper, and explained the questions to the children around him.
The same sun and the same heat, Chi Tang parked in front of a musical instrument store with a small bag on his back. Through the window, she saw a guitar in the store. She walked in and not long after, she came out with a guitar on her back.
There are not many people on the street here, probably because it is too hot outside at this time and people hide at home. Chi Tang stopped under the shade of a tree and took out the guitar in the box.
She can use ukulele and switch to guitar to get started very quickly. She has learned some from the street singing people these days. She really has this talent and started playing by fumbled herself.
I don’t know what song to sing, so she sat by the flower bed and hummed casually. The fine sunlight under the tree leaked on her upper, and the cicadas sang on the big tree behind her. It was so hot that after sitting here for a while, she felt a lot of sweat on her body.
After a while, the children from nearby families came over curiously and rode a red cart, holding a piece of watermelon in their hands, gnawing on their faces.
To such an audience, Chi Tang sang the theme song of Pleasant Goat. Although she didn't remember the lyrics very much, it was okay to hum a few lines.
The child showed a happy smile with great shame and shouted: "It's Pleasant Goat!"
Chi Tang sang casually and stood up. She smelled the fragrance of watermelon in the child's hand. It was really fragrant and she was a little hungry.
During this period, she didn't want to eat, so she didn't eat at noon today, and she felt like she didn't want to eat anything. The little fragrance of watermelon in the child's hand aroused her a little greed on this hot day, and she suddenly wanted to eat.
Turning into a fruit shop, I bought a small half of the iced watermelon that the owner placed in the fresh-keeping cabinet.
"Thank you for your hard work, come and eat two slices of watermelon to take a break." The parent who made up the lesson brought in a plate of watermelon and greeted her to eat it.
You Yu said thank you and went to rest with the students to eat watermelon. The watermelon was cold and sweet. After taking a bite, You Yu didn't know what he was thinking, so he took out his cell phone and took a photo and sent it to Chi Tang.
Chi Tang received the disposable plastic spoon from the owner of the fruit shop and was digging watermelon to eat. He received the news.
Looking at the hand holding the watermelon in the photo, you can vaguely see a corner of the test paper on the table next to you, Chi Tang smiled unconsciously.
Time flies very quickly, and the summer vacation is almost over. A few days before the summer vacation ends, it was Chi Tang's birthday, and there was still no news from her.
You Yu sent her a message on time.
"Chi Tang, happy birthday." Where are you now, are you happy today?
"When will you come back? School is about to start, Sister Wei and the others say they miss you." So are me.
Chapter completed!
