Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 35: Grapefruit Diary
After the sad Korean drama theme song, the next one is "One Thousand and One Wishes".

Yang Chenglin's voice is very recognizable to Xia An, a later generation.

In 2006, the four great masters of the music world had just assembled and joined the battlefield of swords and sabers.

"Ambiguity" released last year and "The Devil Beside You" starring this year made Yang Chenglin, who had been lukewarm for four years since leaving the group and going solo, soar to fame.

Xia An knew that Zuo You had always liked this song.

It sounds good, but the main thing is the lyrics.

Singing and dancing are inseparable. Zuo You has had his own lyrics book since he was a child, and he also taught himself to play the guitar very well.

Her face, her figure, her talent.

Every aspect of her shows to those around her that she will be a big star in the future.

Xia An, a sophomore, once asked Zuo You, who was about to graduate, if he really wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

Zuo You thought about it for a long time and said that he still had some thoughts.

But she didn't do it for personal fame. She felt that it was the fastest and most reliable way for her to make money.

Zuoyou’s parents work so hard.

The catering industry is a hard-working business. The couple worked from dawn to dusk to run a small restaurant and support their daughter's dance lessons, and they paid too much.

But Zuo You said: That road is too dirty, I won’t go there.

She held Xia An's face and told her with a smile that she had been admitted to a dance training school.

Go make money first.

Make money for parents and give it to him.

Zuo You said that he had a thousand and one wishes, and they all had the same goal.

The entertainment industry is just one of those bubbles that just burst.

"Don't worry, no matter what color the next chocolate is, it will always be sweet, right?"

In the shade of the trees in the middle of summer, she sang to Xia An:
【Every heart has a pair of wings, fly forward bravely】

however.

Less than a week after this conversation, the Fly House exploded.

Blast all of Zuoyou's one thousand and one bubbles.

The next chocolate is not sweet, it is filled with poison.

After the funeral, Xiao Youzi seemed like a different person, and Xia An never saw her smile again.

Whenever he met someone, he was timid and didn't dare to speak.

The mask was gone, and along with it, all the flesh and blood were gone.

The weakness that has been buried deep in my bones since I was a child is now exposed in broad daylight.

She was terribly frightened.

Xia An felt very distressed.

He ran out of Lin Jiajia's arms, hugged Zuo You tightly, and told her not to be afraid.

On the third day, Zuo You dropped out of school and quit his internship before graduation.

On the fourth day, Zuo You left Xia An forever.

——I’m sorry, I don’t dare to see you again.

Xia An spent seven years on a dirty, bloody, murderous and exploitative life, trying like a madman to get ahead.

Finally helped Zuo You clear a clean and bright path to stardom.

But he just couldn't find Zuo You.

He published an advertisement in the newspaper and openly called his little grapefruit in the media:
Come back, come back and be a big star.

When you came back, I bought the land in my hometown, dug it up, and built a park, burying all the bad memories.

After that, he and she appeared in seven movies, nine TV series, and twelve web series.

Xia An lives in self-enclosed memories.

He knew deeply that Zuo You was also in some corner of the world, locking herself in pain.

People half mockingly and half sighingly called Xia An "Infatuated Male No. 1" and secretly called him an idiot.

He built the "Yuzu" hotel chain in 91 cities.

In front of each hotel, there is a Chinese tallow tree, which was her favorite when they visited Jinling.

In 2019, Le Ning said to him: You can't wait for Zuo You anymore, so marry me.

When they divorced, Le Ning told him, "After half a lifetime, I still lost to her." But Xia An, sometimes, losing doesn't mean I made a mistake. It's fate, and we shouldn't regret it.

It's fate, destiny plays tricks on us. 2008-2024, sixteen years.

The Chinese tallow tree is colorful sixteen times.

Xia An finally found Zuo You in 2006.

Well, I got what I wanted.

-2006.7.20
"Advanced to the preliminary round!"

"I went out and bought a lot of gifts for... Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia. I hope they like them."

Eucalyptus leaves are poisonous:
My sister is amazing!

The gifts haven't arrived yet, but... they will definitely like them.

……

No one left a message, and the naive Xia An thought Xiao Youzi was a girl with few friends.

Xia An, who was once shy when she was young, was afraid that something she said would reveal their friendship and be seen by others, especially by her.

So it’s all Martian language for “step on it”.

Thirty-six-year-old Xia An wrote under her latest diary entry:

Eucalyptus leaves are poisonous:
The Forbidden City is big, and the world is bigger.

Some people make instant noodles in three minutes, while others spend three hours making soup.

Take your time to savor and stroll around.

Be firm, don't be afraid, don't be anxious.

The best part is in the fireworks.

The road ahead for you will surely be extremely exciting and smooth!

Also, I like you, Sister Yuzu.

See you at Binhai.

……

After closing the computer, Xia An got up and went home.

When I passed by a stationery store, I bought three glass bottles and five stacks of long, colorful paper strips.

That night, he decided to stay up all night.

Xia's mother got up at three in the morning and saw that the light in the cabin was still on, so she went in and asked him what he was doing.

I was shocked to see my son making... stars.

Xia An said calmly, "It's for Sister Youzi."

Mother Xia nodded with satisfaction and asked him to fold more.

Early in the morning before going to bed, Xia An opened the wab version of QQ space on his mobile phone.

He saw Zuo You’s reply to him only five minutes later.

Grapefruit doesn’t taste bitter: I know.
