Chapter 12

  I come to listen to her concert

  According to the label on the ticket, Sheilor came to a special passageway, the passageway is very quiet, that let him feel somewhat uneasy. The beautiful check-in lady scan the bar code of his that ticket, and then check the first layer identity on his chip, she was somewhat surprised, then welcomed him to go inside immediately.

  “This seat is even better than the balcony of the mayor and the senator Hung, don’t know what kind of man he is?”

  “He should be a freak, he dresses so poor, who can tell that he is a big shot?”

  Sheilor kept cultivating the body strength per severely in these years, his listening is also better than the average people, until he walked away more than ten meters, he still could hear the talking of those ticket checking girls behind, he couldn’t help to float a wry smile on the corners of his mouth. Today the snow and the wind are big, he still wears that washed somewhat old military dust coat, but he had the VIP ticket in his hand, it is really somewhat weird.

  Then he immediately thought of that this ticket was given by Charlie Tai, once he thought of that he would be rather baffling to know a successor of a big family incredibly, his mood became more complicated.

  Outside of the best single balcony above the gymnasium rostrum, Sheilor was stopped by those wearing black suits agents, he was checked carefully again, to make sure that there is no any problem, then he was let go. Sheilor didn’t have any dissatisfaction in his heart, he knew if he wanted to enter the balcony, to stay together with that guy, surely he would be kept checking. But the only thing that he somewhat didn’t understand is, clearly that exquisite electric shock stick is hid in his boots, why the checking his feet that agent would inadvertently leave it out?

  Pushed open that heavy wooden door of the balcony, a delicate flower fragrance blew and come on his face, but it didn’t let people feel sickening. Sheilor felt refreshed, he saw that large pot of Thousand Star flower by the French window, he saw by the side of the people-high flower, standing a slightly pale face and gaunt figure youngster.

  Yes, although Sheilor has already known the extraction of Charlie Tai, known the other party is one of those people, who are standing on the top of this with tens of billions of population Federation. But when he met him once again after tens of days, in his heart, Sheilor still subconsciously took the other party as that passed out in his arms, with the cold and calm to conceal his like to the civilian foods… poor guy.

  “I’m still thinking whether you will come to here or not.” Charlie Tai turned his body around, had a smile to Sheilor and said, “this ticket is the honorarium I have for you. If you don’t accept it, I will be disappointed.”

  “Since you gave it to me, of course I will come here. And I had already said in the communicator before, I like Jane Sue since the childhood.”

  Sheilor walked toward his that side, the like the knives eyebrows raised a bit. He knows clearly that this young man in front of him is not the ordinary people, it’s impossible for him to associate with him like the ordinary friend. Because when he is in front of people, the other party will always show those breath naturally. However, he still tried to treat the other party like what he treat the ordinary people, because he thinks that this is the principle how the friends treat each other, if both of them could become the real friends in the future.

  Charlie Tai wasn’t surprised to hear that Sheilor answered him like this, because he knows what kind of character Sheilor is. He warped up the corners of his mouth slightly, he quite appreciated the other party could still express so tough in front of him, he said with a smile, “Jane Sue is younger than you, if let her hear that you said this sentence, she is bound to be unable to eat anything sadly.”

  Sheilor walked to his side, smelt the fragrance of the Thousand Star flower by the side, looked at that empty stage not far away from the window. Suddenly he thought of one thing, he hesitated to ask, “didn’t you know Jane Sue?”

  Although Jane Sue is the most popular star in the Federation, but Charlie Tai with the identity of the heir of the seven big families, wants to get to know the other party, it shouldn’t be a very difficult thing.

  Charlie Tai shook his head, “in her debuted these many years, I have been transferring from school to school, how could I know her… but, I have watched several episodes of her TV series, she is quite a lovely little girl.”

  For him, there is no worth indulging star in this world. Stand in his position, he would look at all the things with the appreciation eyes, but he would never put all his passion in like what Sheilor did, perhaps this thing itself is a kind of sorrow.

  Sheilor said with a smile, “that will be great, I worried pretty much, from the mouths of you these big shots, hear the tears of blood history about these stars behind the radiant visage… the idol is disillusioned, how big the blow for the people like we this kind, you shouldn’t never expected.”

  “You just think too much.” Charlie Tai recognized what the hidden meaning in Sheilor this sentence, he laughed with a Haha, “we these people not the eat people not split the bones crocodile, you don’t have to always think us into the shadow. Of course, I don’t deny that some guys like to take the stars as the brand of their strength… however, I am not included in those people.”

  He added a sentence in his heart, and nobody dare to take Jane Sue as his brand flaunt against the world, unless that childe really thinks that he has lived enough.

  After arranged all the food and the drinks well, the steward Ken had a ritual to these two people, then he walked out of the luxury balcony. At this time, there are only these two young men left in this balcony, the talking atmosphere appeared a lot more relaxed immediately, it’s more like that they were back to the lounge of the H1 area.

  But the conversation didn’t start how long, then it ended abruptly. Because Sheilor’s eyes congealed suddenly, just like the snow outside of the gymnasium was frozen into two icicles, without a blink and motionless, just stared blankly below the French window.

  It’s all dark in the gymnasium, only the stage, there is only one person on the stage, a not up to eighteen years old, coming out from the dark, and bathed in the lights purple hair girl.

  The music sounded.

  This luxury balcony just faces the huge light screen of the gymnasium, and is not far away from the stage, it’s the best position to enjoy the concert. don’t need the telescope, he can see clearly the beautiful and lovely face of that enchanting purple hair girl on the light screen, just only the voice input, then it could let the people in the balcony hear the most vivid voice of Jane Sue.

  But Sheilor still stood by the side of the French window in a daze, looked at that far away figure on the stage, watched her to change the clothes, looked at her introducing her new songs slightly jerky, and looked at this should only exist in his imagination her showed up in front of him animatedly.

  Knowing you can’t have is out there.

  Don’t know how long he had already stood over there, don’t know how many those clear songs and music had already been changed, the position of Sheilor still didn’t have any change.

  Charlie Tai had already been impatiently to stand with him long ago, he had already sat back to the comfortable sofa, holding a low-alcohol wine to drink slowly. His eyes took a glimpse time to time at Jane Sue that face on the light screen, or closed his eyes to listen carefully the first try singing of this most popular star of the Federation. But most of the time, his eyes fell on by the window Sheilor’s body as if he was thinking of something.

  He thought that he knew very well what kind of people Sheilor is, calm and enthusiasm, sincere and integrity, not lusting after the vanity, having the born disgust to tufthunting, a not bad luck, obtained the favor of professor Ken, this guy has the so far he still couldn’t make clear talent on the mecha aspect, but he is extremely low-key…

  But at this moment, when he looked at the back figure of Sheilor, Charlie suddenly found out that he still
somewhat couldn’t see through this boy. A facing him still tried hard to keep the dignity and calm young man, when facing a only the boys and girls would be infatuated crazily with female star, why he would forget himself so much? No, this is not forgetting himself, it’s a kind of totally immersed himself inside it, forgetting everything around him state.

  Charlie Tai wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, especially when his keen eyes, noticed in the reflection of the French window, in the eyes of Sheilor, it seemed to have some bright spots, it seemed to get wet… he couldn’t control his surprise any more, then he stood up and walked to the window there.

  Sheilor quietly looked at below the window on the stage that very familiar, but also incomparably strange purple girl, looked at her releasing her charm like a goddess in the light, felt his whole body all stiff, the held on the French window fingers were somewhat pins and needles, and his heart jumped much quicker.

  When that moment Jane Sue appeared on the stage, Sheilor thought of a proverb in the Federation: when the dream becomes the reality, appears in front of people, people always will put this kind of reality as a dream.

  When Sheilor saw Jane Sue in the first sight, he felt that on the stage that purple hair girl was not real, she just existed in his dream, he felt all of these at this moment just only a dream. He thought that at this moment the not obedient stiff body, the slightly numb fingers, all were because of this reason. He couldn’t wake up, however…

  Along with the going up of the song, Sheilor then woke up to himself, knew that he was in the luxury balcony of the gymnasium in the Capital Planet Circle, not on the outside of the coffee shop on the Bell Tower Street of the East Forest, also not on the top of the abandoned mine.

  Along with the proceeding of the song, Sheilor calmed down gradually, but he still looked at Jane Sue on the stage in a daze, both eyes didn’t have a blink. He didn’t know how many songs she had already sung, what kind of songs she had sung, he just listened quietly, watched her quietly, until his eyes got moist up.

  A few years ago, under the green tree on the suburb of the West River state Capital, he once was tear all over his face when he looked at Jane Sue on the light screen, said that he would going to marry her as wife. But he knew it clearly, because he stared at the components for a long time in the operating room in the mine at the daytime, at that time, the tears were just caused by the fatigue eye muscles. But at this time, he was really feeling very grieved in his heart, and he had the impulse to want to cry very much.

  He finally understood why he always liked Jane Sue that much, even after he fled to the university town of the Coastal state, still didn’t break off the love to that purple hair girl, originally… it’s not that simple just like her.

  Outside of coffee shop on the Bell Tower Street, he and Levi Johnny that group of orphans, made some noise to watch her.

  On the street, the dressed in the black shabby clothes orphans, made some noise to shout the slogans for watching her.

  On the top of the mine, in the gray twilight of the East Forest, he and uncle held the glasses of the red wine, watched her silently.

  Jane Sue for him, it’s not just a role only existed on the light screen, a popular in the whole Federation idol, but also it’s his memory, those monotonous but substantial memory in the East Forest.

  But now he is the federal fugitive, a completely different person, the days in the East Forest… no longer he could go back there.

  At this moment, Sheilor thought of uncle Fengyu, thought not-knowing message Levi and Johnny, thought of the people in the West River state, he was calm and very grieved in his heart.

  “What’s happening?” Charlie Tai walked to his side, frowned and asked him.

  Sheilor silenced for a moment, had a smile, exerted himself and said seriously, “I just want to tell some people, I come to listen to her concert.”
