The stars read their names.
The silvery white dream of the moon began to fly in the world.
I'm getting old.

The shadows of the trees swayed lazily in the early autumn sun.
After crossing the intersection, Sue turned the car into a quiet street. He couldn't help glancing at the envelope on the seat next to him and gave up the idea of opening it. Those shadows on the windshield are trying to stretch their slender arms deep into the sky, and they are also pulling Sue's memory back to the past.
Some years, the hall ends neatly, the door opens and the little boy walks in after his mother. This is a courtyard with a good view. Huanghuai in the middle of the yard is also a little old. His mother sat the little boy on the stone pier under the tree and looked at two packages, one large and one small.
Click.
At the moment of braking suddenly, many little boys in dark green pullovers ran across the road from Sue's sight. Sue felt his pores open, and he felt a chill on his back reaching his forehead. It's really close What a close call! Gasping, he turned to look at the envelope on the seat, lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then restarted the car.
Suddenly someone stopped in front of the car and looked up. Sue saw a woman in a light coat holding a little boy who was almost hit by herself just now and staring at the car with questioning eyes.
"Sorry, he runs too fast." Sue put her head out of the window and said to her.
Some angry young women didn't mean to stand aside and stared at this side motionless.
"I haven't met him. You should have seen him." Thinking that she didn't hear what she just said, she had to explain to the people outside the car again.
She put her hand on Duoduo's shoulder, but stood there with a adamant face. Looking at the time display in the car, Sue had no choice but to get off.
Sue Hao Ming, who felt that she should apologize, said gently, "I'm really sorry, I didn't see him running from there ..."
But before Sue finished, the woman in a brown coat suddenly raised her hand and drew a picture with him. Looking at the woman's strange gestures, Sue thought of the meeting that was going to be late and went on to explain, "Sorry, I'm really in a hurry. How's this? Leave me your phone number and take him to the hospital first. I will definitely contact you in the future. "
The woman in front shook her head hard and continued to gesticulate with her hands, because the other party couldn't understand her meaning, and her face was angry and anxious.
At a loss, Sue could only look down at the little boy beside her and ask him, "What happened to her?"
"The teacher said you shouldn't drive so fast, it's dangerous." Say that finish with a naughty expression, smiling at two adults.
Sue suddenly woke up. He looked at the innocent woman in front of him and felt that he wanted to reach out and "say" something to her, but the different ways of communication made him reluctantly put his outstretched hand back.
What happened at this moment is like a theater screen that suddenly changed the venue and scenery. Sue changed from a spectator to a dramatist, and the meeting that was about to be late suddenly disappeared from his mind. He squatted down, keeping his eyes at the same height as the little boy, and his voice became cautious: "So, can she ... hear us now?"
"Of course, the teacher just doesn't want to talk about it."
Sue's expression seemed to convey an important event in secret, which made Duo Duo serious.
"Don't want to say?" Sue was surprised.
"Yes, the teacher could have said it, but then grandpa left her and she didn't want to say it."
A lot of lively and childish answers left Sue speechless. He stood up straight and saw a dark-haired shoulder-length woman pulling the little boy to her side. She was comparing with him in sign language.
"The teacher said, here is the speed bump, you drive so fast, what if you hurt the children here? I told you to pay attention later. " Duoduo pointed to Sue's back while "translating".
Sue turned around and saw a striking piece of speed brake. He turned around and found that Dodo had followed his sign language teacher into an iron gate.
Hongqiao kindergarten
Sue sat back in the car and looked at the iron gate again. Suddenly, he remembered that the meeting had already started. He hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed out according to the recently missed number:
"Paul, I have something to delay. Please change the meeting time to 1 hour later.
/ 2
Coming out of the meeting room, Sue walked through the materials in her hand, and Paul next to her was talking about the progress of the manuscript.
The two tandem walked to the door of Sue's office. Paul said to Sue who was about to push the door in, "Do you want to see the finalists?"
"Well, put it on the table. I will watch it later. " Sue promised, still focusing on the folder in her hand.
Paul pushed the door open for Sue, followed him into the office and put the shortlist on the table. His eyes swept the thin transparent gauze by the window, and the hand-embroidered white feathers on it floated down one by one, and the places near the ground gradually became dense, like a snow that never stopped all the year round.
Maybe it is more suitable for summer. Paul thought this way and was about to turn away when Sue stopped him.
"Paul, you are a local. Do you know the place of Shengchangmen? " Sue put down her data and looked up at Paul standing at the door.
"This used to be an old street. When I was studying, some classmates lived there and went there several times. Later, I demolished it and built a civic square. " Paul said and walked back to the sofa.
"I want to find someone who used to live there. I want to ask you. I only know a little about that man. They are all here. " Say that finish, Sue took out a brown paper envelope from the drawer and handed it to Paul.
Paul took the envelope from Sue and said, "I'll try my best. Don't worry. "
"Thank you first."
"If there is nothing else, I will go first."
Paul's figure disappeared at the door.
After the door was closed, Sue sat back at the table and opened the player information on the table.
In the list of players, he saw a name-You Li. To some surprise, Sue thought it should be a coincidence, so he didn't pay much attention to it and read it page by page. However, it appeared in the more detailed player profile in front of him. The photos he saw told him that it was no coincidence. She is the Youli she knows.
In my memory, the little boy was watching the package around him and heard his mother and his landlady talking in the house. The door was unlocked. The landlady's voice with a strong Shanghai accent drowned his mother's voice. After a long time, mother and landlady came out. Mother took him to get the parcel and followed the landlady into the small utility room in the corner of the yard.
The small mixed house was cleaned up by his mother and became his home in this strange place.
He asked his mother, "Why did we leave home and come here?"
"Because dad is here, we have to wait for dad and then go home together."
That's what his mother told him at that time.
Those children in the alley told their mother to pick up rubbish and call him a bastard. He was sad but never mentioned it to his mother, because her mother would be more sad than him when she knew.
The way the landlady looks at him always makes him lift his head. Several times, he just didn't want to see the landlady's eyes, so he wandered around the corner of the alley selling salted dried beans until everyone had finished eating before running back to the utility room.
He doesn't like this place, but his father is here. He can't go home with his parents until he waits for his father. Whenever he thinks like this, he feels that he can calm down and wait for a beautiful dream to come to him at night.
The landlady's daughter is called Youli.
When he saw You Li in the classroom, he immediately thought of the way the landlady looked at him.
When the boys in the class made fun of him because of his mother's career, Youli watched and didn't speak.
After school, Youli has been following him carefully. After a while, you Li shouted at him in front: "I didn't say that."
At noon the next day, he found two rice cakes and pickles in the lunch box. Every day after that, he will find these two things in the lunch box. This secret treatment lasted until a Sunday morning.
That day, the landlady came out of the kitchen and found him eating rice cakes in the house. He clearly remembered the expression on the landlady's face. She rushed in, grabbed his half-eaten rice cake and threw it directly on the ground. She rushed into the middle of the yard and began to shout, "My God, you stole it into our kitchen. You are shameless to teach children to harm us like this ... "
He looked at the rice cake on the ground and sat by the bed.
Not long after, he saw his mother running in from the outside, and then heard the landlady shouting insults in Shanghai dialect she didn't understand. The yard is a mess.
Through the window, he saw Youli hiding behind the door and looking this way.
The next day, there were rice cakes and pickles in his lunch box. In front of Youli, he picked up the lunch box and threw it in the corner with his lunch.
At recess, the boys in the class made fun of him again. Unbearable, he finally rose up and resisted, but he was outnumbered and was knocked down by several boys at the same time. You Li picked up the broom in the classroom, beat all the people who were pressed on him away, and helped him up on the ground. Because he always gets the help of beautiful and dancing Youli, he makes the male students in the class more jealous. As long as there is an opportunity, they will embarrass him together. You Li, a boy, always stands on his side without hesitation.
Even so, he still hates Julia maesa. Because he hates the landlady.
Suddenly, mobile music broke the bubble of Sue's memory, and the little boy, mother and landlady all disappeared. He looked at the display on the phone screen and turned on the phone-
"Mom."
"Yes, soon."
"Everything is fine, don't worry."
"Then I'll call you after you and dad have set a time."

The blue car shadow slipped out of the parking space, passed through the silent entrance and merged into the busy traffic.
Sue promised her father to come to this entertainment media company under the group, just because he wanted to come back here again. Just like the tide influenced by the moon, although it is far away, it will still fluctuate alone in those calm mornings.
He asked his heart countless times.
Be pulled back to the old place by the past. To Sue, he is a lonely wave.
When he experienced all the new life in a distant foreign country, when the reality of his life separated him from the unremarkable past, when he stood on the baseball field and was drowned by cheers, his heart was blank. When he was sitting in a secluded corner of the library, he suddenly heard his heartbeat, and now he is unfolding in front of him in a 360-degree circular motion. The details that he has sorted out countless times, even the insignificant history under Su's name, seem to have great energy.
People can't piece together their own future based on past experiences, so no matter how hard Sue tries, he can't figure out what that person looks like today after 16 years.
His eyes swept the crowd in the street, his hand was on the steering wheel, and he skillfully parked his car at the red light at the intersection until the green light came on.
A group of children walked in front of them. Lively little guys are holding hands and forming a long line. The young female teacher who walked behind watched them carefully.
A thin coat.
Black hair hangs down.
Sitting in the car, staring at Sue's back, thinking about what happened at the gate of the nursery this morning.
He looked at her and the children across the street. The children seem to listen to her and stand in a straight line. She stood at the edge of the line, gesturing with her eyes from time to time, and then gesturing to the children.
It turned out to be the same person.
The green light turned on again soon. He heard the urging sound from the car behind him before starting the car. Only when the children and the female teacher gradually disappeared in the rearview mirror did Sue look back.
If the person he is looking for appears in front of him now, he may not recognize it himself.
Thinking like this, Sue's hidden expectation turned into the appearance of someone, who turned out to be the kindergarten teacher he had met twice today. He thought his idea was ridiculous and couldn't help laughing. In fact, in his inner corner, that kind of silent existence may be more common, just like a face in this street.
"When I dream, I want to leave you the moonlight."
I don't know whose information the singing outside is looking for in the wind, but it falls in the ears of people who are interested or not, and becomes a clue to pursue the past.
He drove the car in that familiar direction.
There are many brand-new buildings, many widened streets, overpasses and commercial centers, which Sue can't remember. Even in those casual gaps, there is no trace of the past. Nothing has changed, only the symbols that record their identity.
Sue found the place where he once lived according to the place name. He pulled over and crossed the street. In front of him is a spacious civic square.
The roaring boiler room is gone.
The uncle who took a nap with a cigarette in his mouth was gone.
I wonder where the burden of the tinker went.
The landlady wrapped a rubber hose around her head all day and never looked at him contemptuously again.
Grandpa, who sells salted dried beans, moved the shop.
The little boy was stopped by several senior boys on his way from school and searched from head to toe. One of the tall boys snatched his schoolbag from him. When he found that there was nothing in the schoolbag except books and lunch boxes, he threw it on the ground in a rage.
When he heard the sharp sound of the steel spoon hitting the aluminum box, his fist rained down on him. Pain and fear made him only know how to hold his head with his hands and avoid it unnecessarily, and finally he was forced into a corner.
"What are you doing? Go away! "
He heard a girl scream, and then the sound of waving a schoolbag. The bad guys who besieged him scattered and ran away.
He stretched out his arm slowly, recovered from the pain, looked up and saw the girl standing in front of him reaching out to him, and he curled up there motionless.
"Stay away from them next time, they are all famous here."
As she spoke, she bent down to help the little boy on the ground, patted the soil on his trouser legs for him, and then put the books and lunch boxes scattered on the ground next to her into her schoolbag.
"It hurts. Let's go, your mother will be worried when she knows. " The girl put his schoolbag on her shoulder and came to hold his hand.
He held out his hand, but he didn't let her hold it. Instead, he carried his schoolbag on her shoulder and carried it on his back.
Red corduroy coat, clear blue trousers, and a group emblem on her chest. The girl standing in front of her is one head taller than him.
She is the granddaughter of grandpa who sells salted dried beans in the alley.
Two people walked two blocks in tandem, and then walked to the place where they lived.
When he got to the alley, he heard the old man selling salted dried bean curd called "Jing Yu". She should have said "Grandpa, I'm back". Before running into the shop, she turned around and smiled gently at him behind her.
Jingyu.
At this time, he firmly remembered the name and the gentle smiling face.

"Just a moment, please."
When the elevator door was about to close, someone ran nervously outside, and Sue in the elevator quickly reached out and held down the door.
"Thank you."
The woman leaned in caressed the curly hair hanging over her head and turned to Sue and smiled.
Sue smiled politely, and then looked at the rising elevator.
"Hello, Mr. Su." When the elevator continued to rise, the curly-haired woman suddenly greeted him. Sue turned to her unexpectedly and smiled and said, "Hello.
"I always hear people talk about you, saying that the small boss of Su Ying Media is not only talented, but also handsome. Really young and handsome. " As she spoke, the curly-haired woman leaned over to Sue with an ambiguous expression.
Sue stood in front of her with some resistance and looked up at the floor indicator on the elevator. I didn't expect the curly-haired girl to get closer.
"What are you going to do?" Sue turned to face her, pushed her to the elevator and asked her in the same tone.
"The top three in this draft can get a three-year contract with Su Ying Media, and I want to get this contract." The curly-haired woman came straight to the point and said what she had come for.
Black curly hair set off this face very white, dressed appropriately and looked pleasing to the eye. There is absolutely no need for her to do so.
Sue thought like this and felt sorry.
"You are very frank."
"Thank you, take what you need." Change the previous unfamiliar, she said generously.
"What's your name?"
When Sue asked her name, she quickly said, "Nana Yang. No.4 finalist. "
"Nana Yang ... well, I see."
"This is my phone number. If you are free tonight, let's have dinner together. " Say that finish, she motioned with her eyes to hand Sue the business card. Sue took the business card from her hand and refused her kindness on the spot in a polite tone:
"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't tonight, but I'll remember your name."
Despite this, she still seems to be determined, saying, "Teacher Su, I heard that all the artists signed by Su Ying Media are in the contract period ..."
"I'm sorry, Miss Yang Nana, here I am. Goodbye. " Sue pointed to the open elevator door and turned to say goodbye to the curly-haired woman behind her politely.
I walked into Sue's office and threw my business card into the wastebasket. After sitting in his seat, he picked up the phone and called Paul.
"What stage is the final process now?" Su Haoming asked Paul who pushed the door and came in.
"All competitions are over. Here are the results approved by the judges." Paul said, putting the folder in his hand in front of Sue.
Sue opened the file. After reading it, he took out the information of one of the players and put it on the table. He asked Paul, "Who is the fourth place?
"
"There is a list of the top ten at the back."
"You Li?"
"Yes, that's right. I used to be a dance instructor. "
"Delete this directly, and the vacant position will be filled by the fourth place. Ask for the fourth place when signing the contract. "
"Nana Yang? Why? "
"Su Ying media don't need artists with personal conduct problems."
"all right." Paul didn't know why Sue did it, but his tone was not negotiable at all. He picked up the papers on the desk, turned and left the office.
