Spring.

The craze for Jiang Chao to become the first Chinese to get a ticket to the Texas International Piano Competition passed quickly. People don't know Jiang Chao, just like they didn't know Li Yundi before he appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.

School has started.

This is Jiang Chao's last semester as a high school student. He stood in front of the last barricade at the crossroads of his life.

On the first day of school, Jiang Chao noticed that the school was different from before. The difference is from the inside out, in short, everything gets busy and anxious.

The students talked less, and when they walked into the classroom, they could only hear the sound of gel pens rubbing against paper, and then there were endless test papers and exercises. In such an environment, Jiang Chao also had to tighten his nerves with the general atmosphere.

A week or two later, Jiang Chao also got used to this rhythm.

After returning home, Milan would make nutritious and healthy things for Jiang Chao every day, such as black chicken soup today.

In order to touch Jiang Chao's light, Jiang Jin now starts to drive home from school every day after school, just to taste the delicious food that his wife made for his son. Therefore, Jiang Jin is still a little fatter.

Every day after dinner, Jiang Jin would pull Jiang Chao for a game or two of chess, and if it was a weekend, it would be Go.

Jiang Chao knew that this was his father relieving his pressure.

Indeed, even a genius like Jiang Chao will feel pressure during this semester. The difficulty of the mock exam paper in Furong No. 2 Middle School is much greater than that of the unified examination paper, and Jiang Chao can stabilize his math score above 145 except for other subjects. The results are not so stable, which is the source of Jiang Chao's pressure.

But fortunately, Jiang Chao knows how to adjust himself, and he doesn't spend more time doing questions after school every day, and always keeps himself in a relatively relaxed state.

……

Recently, there was a news that caused a lot of uproar, a little boy ran away from home because he was dissatisfied with his mother's registration for piano classes, and finally the public security organs took a lot of trouble to find it.

In this regard, many people on the Internet criticized the little boy's mother, which once made the little boy's mother fall into depression and collapse.

Later, with the in-depth investigation of reporters, the truth was gradually revealed. It turned out that the little boy was a single-parent family, and the family conditions were not good, but the little boy kept clamoring to learn the piano, and finally his mother sold the family's ancestral bracelet to support her son's dream...... As a result, the little boy could not endure the hardships after just a few weeks of school, and gave up crying, and the grieving mother slapped his son in the face, which finally caused him to run away from home.

After this news gradually fermented, netizens sighed about it. Many have expressed their opinion on this.

After Jiang Chao saw this news, he fell silent, and then called Lao Yu.

A few days later, Mi Jiang on Yunle released a new song "Listen to Mom", with a slight change in the second half of the lyrics.

As soon as this song was launched, it quickly swept up the online platform.

"Kids, do you have a lot of question marks?" has become a popular Internet phrase in many online forums for a while.

Even the young rich man in Taiwan at this time...... Zhou Lunlun, a former well-known ghost singer-songwriter who suddenly switched to the milk tea industry a few years ago, also reposted the song, and commented at the same time: "I think this song is simply tailor-made for me! If possible, I would like to meet the author who wrote this song." ”

And this song also shows Jiang Chao's attitude towards the little boy incident.

This is not to condemn or take sides, but to hope that both sides can understand each other with love.

And at school, Dong slowly frantically gave Amway this song to the friends around him, as if he was the one who wrote the song. In this regard, Jiang Chao couldn't laugh or cry.

Jordan's tryout isn't over yet.

During this period, Jiang Chao and Jordan had a phone call, and to Jiang Chao's surprise, Jordan was not so impetuous, with three points less arrogance and four more points of calmness between his eyebrows.

Jiang Chao felt that Jordan looked tired, but in fact he was.

"I used to think that I was very good, but when I came here, I realized that there are people outside the world. There are too many people who can crush me in terms of height, reach, bouncing, running, dribbling, shooting, etc. ”

Jiang Chao was silent when he heard it, but he didn't know how to comfort and encourage Jordan, but fortunately, Jordan didn't seem to be defeated, he spit out a lot of bitterness at Jiang Chao, and finally gritted his teeth and said viciously: "But I won't be discouraged." Compared to a lot of tryouts like me, I'm pretty good. Although I can't play the starter, I can still make a stable substitute for more than ten minutes per game! This time is still rising! I arrive two hours earlier than them every day, and I leave three hours late, I must enter Los Angeles University!"

Jiang Chao said seriously: "I believe in you, come on!"

……

After the start of school, one day Jiang Chao leaned on the balcony and chatted with his classmates, and then Judy came over.

"Hi. ”

"Early. ”

The two smiled at each other and said hello.

Then, Judy stood on the balcony and looked down, Jiang Chao didn't care, and continued to chat with his classmates.

Classmates ridiculed Jiang Chao: "Alas, if I were as handsome as you, I would definitely have to change a girlfriend every week!"

Jiang Chao hammered his classmate's chest, and the classmate laughed.

At this moment, suddenly Judy turned her head and asked Jiang Chao, "You don't have a girlfriend yet?"

Jiang Chao was a little surprised, and it took half a second to make sure that Judy was talking to himself, and then smiled: "Not yet, it's important to study." ”

Judy laughed: "I don't believe it, do you really think it's important to study?"

Jiang Chao smiled and didn't answer positively: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Ah...... No, just ask. You know, girls gossip. ”

"Oh...... I don't have a girl I like, so I don't have a girlfriend. ”

Judy smiled, revealing a natural-looking expression, "Oh...... What kind of girl do you like?"

Jiang Chao didn't think much about it, and when he heard Judy's words, he unconsciously thought of Su Yan...... Then he blurted out: "It should be a cheerful girl...... But who can say for sure?"

Judy blinked, "Oh...... Cheerful girls?"

Jiang Chao nodded, and also smiled: "What about you, what kind of boy do you like?"

Judy was stunned, then raised her head and whispered, "I like clean boys." ”

"Clean?"

At this moment, the male classmate next to Jiang Chao interjected: "Judy, I'm pretty clean, do you want to consider me?"

Judy's eyes were full of smiles: "I...... I love to learn more now. ”

The boy continued to laugh: "Haha, that's okay, why don't I wait for you to graduate?"

Judy's face flushed slightly, coughed lightly, and then said seriously: "The boy I like must have better grades than me!"

The boy was a little surprised, and thought Judy was very funny, and continued to tease her: "It's okay, I can work hard!"

"Ah...... I also need to know a musical instrument!"

The boy's expression became a little strange, and he looked at Jiang Chao, "Do you want to do another exercise?"

Judy's face turned even redder, but she remembered what Jiang Chao said just now, he liked cheerful girls, suddenly bit his lip, and then said bravely: "Yes...... Preferably basketball!"

After speaking, Judy quietly glanced at Jiang Chao, only to see that his expression was flat, without a trace of waves, and he couldn't help but feel slightly lost in his heart.

The boy laughed evilly, and then pushed Jiang Chao: "I know who you're talking about!"

Jiang Chao unceremoniously punched the boy and said with a smile: "What do you know!"

Judy didn't dare to look at Jiang Chao anymore, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

Jingle bell – bell ringing.

Judy was relieved and turned around and ran back to the classroom.
