Born into the Wild

1. When Chen Sui was twenty-one, he met Jiang Ruan. Before that, his life was like this—— When I was seventeen, my father went in. Mom is gone. He stood at the door. Watching the silhouette disappear, the seven-year-old brother next to him didn't understand what parting meant, so he simply raised his head and asked him: "Brother, where is mom going?" Chen Sui looked at the disappearing figure and said quietly: "Going on a business trip." From that day on, he was no longer a child. Later. It was obvious that he could get a good grade, but he didn't apply for a university. The head teacher talked to him, and he said something heavy that should not be expected at this age: "Teacher, I have to support my family." What he said was very candid, and there was nothing wrong with what he said, nor did he mean to be embarrassed. Despite repeated attempts to persuade him, he still insisted on his choice. In the end, the teacher didn't ask any more questions and let him go with a sigh. After all, it is his own life. Since then, he has entered society and experienced a different life trajectory from people of his age. Construction site, kitchen, takeout, night shift. I have done all kinds of work and suffered all kinds of hardships. Don't choose, just pay and do it. When he lay down at night, he sometimes thought: This is how it will be for the rest of his life. Later, when he was eighteen years old, he was discovered to be a good singer and was invited to sing as a resident singer. In "Hometown", a tavern that is neither big nor small but somewhat romantic and sentimental, I have been singing for three years. The third brother, the owner of the "Return" tavern, said he was wild. No one cares about it, no one teaches it, it grows out of the mud on its own. The kind that wildfire cannot burn. He also felt like that was it for him. Wild fires burn, wild plants grow, and the wild fields fend for themselves. No one wanted him, and he wanted no one. 2. When Jiang Ruan was eighteen years old, he walked into "Hometown" for the first time and met Chen Sui. Before that, her life was like this—— He learned piano at the age of three, dance at the age of six, Mathematical Olympiad at the age of nine, and English speech at the age of twelve. All the way to the key points, all the way to the top three, all the way to "other people's children". She does whatever her mother arranges. Mom didn't arrange it, she didn't want to. But she knew one thing: Lying in bed at night, she would sometimes be out of breath. It's not that I'm unhappy, it's that I'm not sure whether I'm happy or not. She doesn't know what she wants. Until that night, her best friend took her to listen to music. She opened the door and saw dim lights, a dozen wooden tables, and someone singing on the stage. The voice is scratchy and lazy, but in some parts it is sung through gritted teeth. She heard it. She knew that kind of sound - it was that "taut" sound. Then she went every week. Sitting in the same corner, I didn't order a drink, I just sat there quietly and listened to his singing. From then on, she learned his name - Chen Sui. Not because he sings well. It's because when she listens to him singing, she doesn't have to think about who she is. 3. In this life, he was born into the wild. Thinking that you are a wildfire, it will burn out and no one will care. It wasn't until I met her that I realized that the end of "Xiang Ye" was "Xiang She". She is a place to return, a destination. Not that tavern. It's her. Jiang Ruan: "Good luck, good luck every year. May you be safe every year." Chen Sui: "Jiang Ruan, it seems that I will sing a love song for you in the future." Intention: Live toward the wild, live toward you
