Chapter 3: The fairy tale is hard to find

We planned to stay in Shanghai for a week, but we didn't see our uncle in those days. We rushed over the next day and had lunch with us. We answered several calls in the middle and then left in a hurry.

It was only then that I realized that my aunt was not only the chairman’s wife, but also the executive of several holding companies.

The next day, my cousin came to treat us to dinner. As soon as I met, my mother asked: Oh, Xiaoru didn’t come with you today? I immediately raised my ears.

She is rehearsing at school. Their band will perform this weekend. There are many rehearsals recently.

This kid is too hardworking, and he is still rehearsing Ah so late?

They often line up and we graduated soon all day. This was the last performance Xiaoru participated in at the school orchestra, so she was quite concerned about it.

I suddenly felt an uncontrollable impulse from the bottom of my heart and wanted to see Sister Xiaoru

Mom, I also want to see how the symphony orchestra rehearsed... Cousin, can we take a look at the place where they rehearsed? I try to make my tone seem casual and natural

OK, I know where they are. Let's take you over to see my aunt, please go with me. Our school is not far from here. We will take a taxi in more than ten minutes.

I won't go anymore. I'm tired after a day of shopping. I want to take Xiaode to take him to a prestigious university.

This is the first time in my life that I have entered this temple-like higher education institution

Although the end of the semester has passed, there are still many students on campus, and some graduates are wearing degree uniforms, walking or taking photos in the afterglow of the sunset.

I followed my cousin through a century-old campus. Every college student I saw made me envious of every envy of my college students.

Maybe three years later, I will have a slim chance to belong here, but more likely, now is the only time I am here in my life...

My cousin took me to the magnificent art center, followed the stairs to the second floor, and quietly walked into the concert hall.

There were a few people sitting scattered in the auditorium with nearly a thousand seats, and the symphony orchestra being rehearsed on the stage

We found a seat in the third row and sat down. I recognized the girl who commanded the first person on the left at a glance, and my heart stumbled.

It's her!

Long hair shawl, white skirt

She sat upright, holding the violin on her shoulder with one hand and holding the bow in the other hand, stretching back and forth with the rhythm of the music. Her graceful posture was another elegant charming

From the moment I noticed her, she has been playing attentively, and her beautiful face always has a serious and focused look on her face.

I seemed to feel a faint fragrance filled my sleeves gently stroked my face with her beautiful movements as she danced.

The entire symphony orchestra has about fifty people, and half of them are men and women.

My cousin told me that all musicians are students of Dongda University, from undergraduate to graduate school,

Some of them are special art enrollment special for school orchestras, while others, such as Xiaoru, were selected into the orchestra after passing the college entrance examination or being admitted to Dongda University because of their excellent instrumental performance skills.

Girls who study art often have outstanding appearances. I found that there are several beautiful girls with high looks in strings, wind and even percussion parts, but on the entire stage, no girl can compare to the violin chief with a very elegant manner.

However, looking at the moment when Sister Xiaoru played from afar, my heart gradually became covered with an inexplicable layer of depression.

The girl on the stage is a rich and beautiful sister who is seven years older than me, the girlfriend of my tall, rich and handsome cousin, this top university in the country with unparalleled talent and beauty, and a goddess standing tall and graceful on the top of the ivory tower...

Everything about her is noble and perfect, so high that she can only look up from afar, so beautiful that it makes people feel ashamed of...

Three years ago, my cousin confessed to her on such a gorgeous stage. At that time, I had not even graduated from elementary school...

My thoughts floated toward a few months later, and she and my cousin were already on the other side of the ocean, opening up a new world of life; and at that time, I was continuing to study hard for the future that I don’t know where to lead to...

In another three years, five years, ten years...

She has become my sister-in-law, gave birth to a beautiful baby, and may settle in the United States and will never come back...

Where would I be then...

I sadly understand that even in the real world, I can't touch my goddess after all. She and I still belong to a different world, but there is only a little accidental intersection, and I can never reach her high-rise stage...

The indescribable loss and melancholy, just like those melodies that I can't understand at all but know very beautiful, flowing from her fingers into my heart.

After sitting quietly for a while, I and my cousin left the concert hall, left the art center, and walked all the way out of the Dongda University campus.

Following my cousin, I looked back at the tall and majestic red brick school gate. Although the sky was getting darker, the four gilded characters on the plaque of Oriental University are still dazzling.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly at myself. Perhaps only a man as outstanding as my cousin can be worthy of Sister Xiaoru, who is as fairy-like as a woman.

But when I thought that this spotless fairy had already lived with my cousin and might have even had a bed and sleeping together, a needle-like pain passed through my already lonely heart.
