Chapter 5: Unexpected Smoothness
The door creaked open, and there was a noisy voice in the room, but I couldn't hear the details clearly, I stared at the door, and the calm mood became nervous again, only to see a woman who was not tall flashing out of the house, it turned out to be Deng Jie, seeing us, she closed the door with her hand, waved her hand to us, said hello, and then said to Gao Hongliang:
"We've been talking about this just now, and we're discussing what to do. β
Gao Hongliang straightened his collar and asked:
"What's the situation now, what have you discussed?"
"The overall situation is relatively good, Yuan Mei and Xu Lixia don't say much, except for Zhang Li's proposal to send Jiaqi to Director Wang, the rest of us all persuade Xiaoxu to make big things small and small things. β
Wu Xiaodong squeezed forward and asked:
"Who's in the house now?"
"Xiaoxu, Zhang Li, Yuan Mei, Shen Lin, Jianyue, Jinglin and me. She looked at me as she spoke, and continued:
"Shen Lin Jianyue and Jing Lin are all talking to you, especially Jing Lin, who is helping you explain from beginning to end, and when the matter is resolved, you have to thank her. β
Hearing this, my heart suddenly felt like it was pinched, there was a faint pain, when I chatted with Zhang Jinglin this morning, she still didn't like Xiaoxu so much, she not only visited the store for so long for me, but also put down her body and took the initiative to be a lobbyist, to be honest, at that moment, I was not lightly moved.
"What is Xiaoxu's opinion?" asked Wu Xiaodong.
Xiaoxu She was a little strange, and asked her what she thought, and she only said that she would decide when she met, but I think she is quite emotionally stable, and I don't think there is any big problem. β
"That's good. Chen Honghai patted me on the back as he spoke, and the situation was almost understood, Deng Jie opened the door, and we walked in one after another, Gao Hongliang and Deng Jie were the first, and I was the last.
As soon as they entered the house, the fiery girls who had gathered in a circle to chat just now quickly divided into two groups, and they all sat on the bed in the dormitory, Shen Lin Jianyue and Jinglin on the right, Xiaoxu Zhang Li, Xu Lixia and Yuan Mei on the left, the seven girls looked at us without saying a word, Deng Jie was afraid of the cold scene, and said first:
"Xiaoxu, Jiaqi has come to apologize to you. As she spoke, she turned around and handed me a look, Wu Xiaodong and Chen Honghai also hurriedly pulled me forward, and before I could speak, Wu Xiaodong took over the conversation first and said:
"Good afternoon, everyone, so many people, I bought some fruit when I came just now, Shen Lin, you give everyone points. β
Shen Lin stood up and took the oranges and apples in Wu Xiaodong's hand, picked a big one and gave it to Xiaoxu, and then everyone shared an apple, Zhang Jinglin only took an orange, Xu Lixia didn't ask for anything, but went to the water room with Yuan Mei to fetch water and prepare to help everyone wash the fruit, Wu Xiaodong saw that the atmosphere was not so stiff, and said to Xiaoxu:
"Xiaoxu, Li Jiaqi also explained to me what happened that day, he really drank too much that day, and he regretted it later, he always felt sorry for you, he had a fever when he went back, and he still talked in his sleep at night, and kept shouting, Xiaoxu is sorry, Xiaoxu is sorry, Xiaoxu is just a little better today, so I went to buy you something to apologize, you see. β
Wu Xiaodong looked back at me, I also walked forward with interest, looking at the face that had been longing for a century, my eyes were tears without warning, every time I saw Xiaoxu, I unconsciously shed tears, at that time my heart did not feel sad, there was no crying and whimpering in my throat, but the tears could not be stopped, I gently took out the wrapped set of "Gibran's Collected Works" from my bag, and said to Xiaoxu:
"Xiaoxu, I'm sorry, I did it wrong, this is my apology to you, I hope you like it. β
Xiaoxu looked at me, took the thing in my hand, looked down for a few seconds, a smile of surprise suddenly appeared on her face, her eyes became as gentle as water, she seemed to have a piece of honey in her throat, and asked in an ethereal and sweet voice:
"Did you pick it? How do you know I like Gibran? You're so hearted, this book is so good!"
I saw Xiaoxu laughing, the boulder hanging in my heart also fell, and my body suddenly relaxed a lot, I turned my head and glanced at my three brothers, they all talked and laughed, Gao Hongliang even pulled Deng Jie to sit on the bed on the other side, looking at me with a playful look like watching a drama, I smiled at Gao Hongliang, turned my head back to Xiaoxu and said:
"I picked it, I asked a lot of people, only to know that you like Gibran's poems, this book was originally booked, and I told the boss for a long time before agreeing to sell it to me, if you like it. β
As I spoke, I thought of Zhang Jinglin, I looked towards her seat, but found that she had quietly left at some point, just when I was stunned, I felt a refreshing fragrance gushing into my nose, Xiaoxu was stretching out her ivory-like white jade hand to wipe my tears for me, I couldn't speak for a while, my face was instantly hot, her wrist as thin as a bird's foot tightly grabbed my eyes, so that I couldn't take my eyes off, I restrained my strong urge to hold her wrist, just stood motionless, let her hand come and go in front of my eyes, I endured it, and enjoyedγ
Wu Xiaodong saw that the situation was surprisingly good, and began to coax:
"Jiaqi, don't you prepare a song for Xiaoxu, can you show it?"
The eyelashes on Xiao Xu's smart eyes jumped and jumped, and he asked with a smile:
"Really? What are you going to sing?"
"This is a song I wrote to you by hand, and the name is "Anshan Girl". β
"Do you still write songs?" Zhang Li, who hadn't spoken for a long time, first asked, and several girls next to her also began to talk to each other, I smiled politely at them, took out the guitar from behind, and the tone was already very accurate, Deng Jie thoughtfully took out a small bench from the side to me, after I sat down, I made a few bubble sounds to relax my throat, took a deep breath, and after sorting out everything, I started my singing:
Snowy Anshan
There lived a beautiful girl
She often wears a dress with flowers
Stand on the side of the road
She didn't say much, but her smile was so calm and melodious
What was in her melancholy eyes
It is the sorrow of longing
Her white ankles
Printed one by one
Traces of ballet shoes
Young heart
Hurt by reality
She didn't know where she was going
In the lonely hour
She picked up the pen
Write a poem
Anshan girl
Do you miss your hometown?
Anshan girl
In this red house
Whether you have a dream or not
The years go by with the wind
Tears were shed on a lonely night
You wear braids
Talking about ideals to the moon
At the end of the song again, the song was performed completely and delicately, I used to close my eyes when singing, after singing a song, I felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, the room with more than a dozen people was as silent as death, I looked at my audience suspiciously, everyone had different expressions on their faces, or doubt, or surprise, or joy or sadness, and I saw everything on Xiaoxu's face.
After a few seconds, there was thunderous applause, which is a familiar feeling for me, I have enjoyed it on countless stages, and at this time, there are no cheers, no shouts, only the simple voices from the 80s, these audiences express the most sincere and simple respect and love from the depths of their hearts in the most low-key way.
Xiao Xu didn't applaud, but slowly stood up, I also stood up when I saw this, we walked slowly towards each other, I could even see the hairs on her skin, her eyes were shining with stars, but the corners of her eyes were shining with crystalline light, her thin lips trembled slightly, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Did you really write this song yourself?"
I nodded heavily, and I was sorry for Zhao Lei again (the shameless personality occupied the high ground again).
"Do you like it?"
Xiao Xu nodded and said:
"I like it very much, the melody and lyrics of this song are very moving, like the freshness of the trickling clear stream, and like the spring breeze blowing the leaves and sprinkling the fragrance of plants and trees on people's faces. β
Hearing her say this, my face became hot again, and when Xiaoxu saw me like this, he laughed out loud and said:
"Why can't you help boasting so much, and you blushed when you say two words?"
When Gao Hongliang saw me like this, he also laughed and said:
"Xiaoxu, don't bully him, Jiaqi hasn't talked to friends yet, he doesn't talk to girls much on weekdays, he is a master who can blush when chatting with beautiful girls. β
"Hmph, how can this be called bullying? Besides, why didn't he see him ashamed when he hugged me yesterday?"
As he spoke, Xiaoxu pulled me to sit on the bed and asked:
"How did you write the lyrics to this song, and how did you know about me?"
"I started writing this lyrics very early, I usually talk to people sometimes mention you, people know to tell me a little bit of a star, I slowly sorted out these fragmented stories, at first I wanted to write a poem for you, but after writing and reading it, a melody came to mind, and I composed this poem and made it a song. β
Xiaoxu looked at me, handed me a happy and regretful smile, and asked me:
"How long have you been writing this song?"
"It took three months to write lyrics and three months to compose music, a total of half a year. β
Xiao Xu listened, lowered her head, and thought about something thoughtfully, Zhang Li beside her suddenly flashed in front of me and asked:
"Li (you) this song is really good, I feel like you can be a singer. Zhang Li's Mandarin is not very good, sometimes l, n is not distinguished, but I can still understand what to say, a few girls sitting next to me saw and chatted, and they all talked about each other:
"Where did you learn?"
"Why haven't I seen you sing before?"
"Have you ever written any other songs?"
......
There are too many questions, I don't know who to reply to for a while, I can only smile politely at them, Xiaoxu saw that I ignored them, and approached me a little closer, and under their noisy voices, asked me softly:
"Can you teach me to sing this song, then?"
"Of course, you can come to me whenever you are idle, I am free. β
"Then I'll go to you after rehearsal tonight?"
"Okay, when are you done?"
"About six o'clock. β
"Well... Hey, why don't you go to rehearsal directly, and I'll just see how you are. β
"Don't you have anything to do? If you don't, you can come. β
"I'm fine, so I'll see you in the rehearsal room later. β
"Hmm. β
After I made an appointment with Xiaoxu, the atmosphere in the room was not bad, everyone chatted very happily, I played and sang a few songs in order to enliven the atmosphere, I was afraid that the so-called original songs were too public, so I deliberately found some songs that had been released, namely Alan Tam's "Rain Silk Love", Cai Qin's "Your Eyes" and Luo Dayou's "Childhood", these songs are very suitable for guitar interpretation, everyone likes it very much, I won a full house.
Soon it was time for rehearsals, I wanted to put the guitar back in the dormitory, but Xiaoxu said that she would teach her to sing anyway, so she simply put it in her bedroom, and the group of people present except Wu Xiaodong and Chen Jianyue were going to audition, everyone gathered together, and walked to the rehearsal room together, a group of girls asked me a lot of questions along the way, from my hometown to my age, from my birthday to the constellation, Yuan Mei was even more absolute, she even asked me about my birthday, and said that she wanted to give me a hexagram, I didn't want to disappoint her, but I really don't remember this thing, Xiaoxu saw that I was a little difficult to parry, dragged me aside, and said to them:
"Don't ask, it's like checking the account, it freaks him out. β
"Yo, Li (you) look, Chen Xiaoxu began to shout to catch the thief (it's over), just now she asked the most energetic, we are not allowed to talk at this time, see how I clean up Li (you). β
Zhang Li said while pinching Xiaoxu's face, Shen Lin was chatting with Deng Jie Gao Hongliang, seeing that they were making trouble, she also ran over to scratch Xiaoxu's itch, Xiaoxu laughed and trembled, and used me as a shield, the three girls ran around me, the three of them were fighting, I don't know who actually touched my lower body, I was afraid of reacting, and quickly pulled Zhang Li and Shen Lin away:
"Two sisters, spare her, don't run away, don't get heat stroke on this hot day. β
Both of them let go of their hands when they heard this, but Xiaoxu was still not at ease, holding my arm, only poking his head out to look at the two of them, Zhang Li took Shen Lin's arm and walked two steps, turned back and said:
"Li (you) is protecting her, let us spare (it) she is okay, Li (you) have to promise us one thing. β
"What's the matter?" Xiaoxu asked for me.
"Lee's song is so spicy and good, let's write a song for a few of us, at least with our name or story. β
When several girls heard this, they also applauded, Xiaoxu saw that their interest was so high, he frowned and looked at me, and compared a "okay?" mouth shape with his mouth, I smiled confidently, and said to them:
"Don't worry, this matter is settled, and in three days, I will compose a song and take you all with me. β
"Is it enough for three days?" asked Yuan Mei.
"Don't talk big about Li, if you can't do it when the time comes, we will punish Li. β
"Don't try to fool us with some nursery rhymes. Shen Lin said.
"No, quality and quantity, if you don't think it's good, I can change it again, and I will make you satisfied." β
I thought to myself, I have so much inventory, it's not easy to fill in a few words, anyway, they don't know music, everyone's name can be easily done with a little bit, and it doesn't take much effort, why not? The group walked for a few more minutes, and I don't know who shouted, and the rehearsal room arrived.
