"Yes, Yu Chengyi is my cousin. Yes, you are a New Zealander, he went to New Zealand as an exchange student before, and he was also in Auckland, did he meet him when he went to your school to do activities?"

Zhao Yang smiled a little weirdly, and he stretched out his finger and gestured in front of her eyes.

"No, we met at a China-Singapore exchange event. At that time, I didn't know that he was a student of Linxi Academy of Fine Arts. ”

"Oh," Zhao Yang nodded, motioning for her to go back together, "My brother usually doesn't take the initiative to talk, don't look at him has a lot of suitors, he is more arrogant, and he usually doesn't talk much at home." I'm really curious about how you two met, and I don't think you're an active person. ”

"At that time, I was writing calligraphy at the exchange meeting on a whim, and he was curious to talk to me when he saw that I could write with two hands. ”

"I see, it's snowing heavily, let's go back to the school building. I want you to teach me calligraphy, by the way, how are you doing today?"

Tong Ziru was worried that he would ask more, so he said that it depended on the situation, and said that he would talk about it another day if he had classes in a while.

In class that night, Tong Ziru had been in a haunted class, but fortunately she was in a public class, and she didn't have much of the heart to listen carefully. She sat in the last row for the entire class, swiping her phone screen with both hands. The phone didn't open any APP, she just wanted to use the phone to hide her loneliness.

Half a month later, the results of the Lanyu calligraphy competition came out, and sure enough, she didn't win the award, and she didn't even have the 50 people's excellence award.

She still talks and laughs as usual, even if she hears some girls in the same class whispering bad things about her, "I really take myself seriously, I thought I had a lot of ability, and I didn't even win an excellence award in the competition!"

There is nothing wrong with the fact that women are the most malicious to women in the world.

Tong Zi sat in his seat as if no one was around, and opened his mobile phone to browse.

Although Tian Tian also laughed in her heart, she pretended to be a kind person, walked up to the girls and whispered, "Don't gossip, everyone's ability is limited, just be yourself! ”

Those girls slapped Tian Tian's ass instead, "It's still hello, low-key and unreckless." So kind again. If you go, you can definitely do it!"

"Okay, okay, don't bury me, we're ready for class!"

After class, Tong Ziru went to the calligraphy and painting club when he was idle, and it happened that Chen Xi was also there. Chen Xi didn't ask her about the competition, and told her about the scene after hearing that she and Yu Chengyi were at the conference that day.

"I really didn't expect you to know Yu Chengyi for a long time. Yu Chengyi is a professor of calligraphy, but I heard from Zhao Yang early on that his cousin is not very easy-going. When he talks to you, will he take a fancy to you?"

Chen Xi smiled evilly and put one hand around Tong Ziru's arm.

"Don't think crooked, Paul just saw that I could write well. ”

"No!" Chen Xi let go of her, crossed his hands and made a cross. "Boys, only if you like someone will you take the initiative. But I remember that Yu Chengyi has a girlfriend. Isn't he going to step on two boats?"

Tong Ziru shook his head helplessly, "Sister, your imagination is exaggerated." We didn't mean that, and besides, you said he had a girlfriend. I want to say, I don't believe in love. ”

"What's it?" Chen Xi put away his smile and stomped his foot, "Why? ”

"Actually...... My parents are divorced a long time ago. Their failed marriage made me even less convinced of love. ”

Chen Xi was the first person to ask her to tell her about her family situation. No one ever asked, and she never said it.

Chen Xi still wanted to comfort her, she had already asked others for advice on painting, Chen Xi thought that she would touch her wound, so she didn't discuss this topic again.

Since she was two years old, her mother Tong Ling divorced her biological father. Soon after, his biological father married a foreign woman, and he heard from his mother that he had no feelings for his mother and fell in love with someone else. My mother was my father when I came to New Zealand to study, and my mother quarreled with my family about marrying my father. It wasn't until she gave birth to Tong Ziru that she was busy with work and had no time to take care of her, so her grandfather offered to come to Auckland to take care of her. But after my grandfather died, the relationship between my mother and her family was still not good.

My mother often said that she really regretted marrying her father in the first place, and love was a lie. Although she said this, she remarried, and when Tong Ziru was in first grade, she brought back a white man who told Tong Ziru that she was getting married.

Tong Ziru has never understood whether his mother loves his stepfather or not, anyway, judging from the marriage between his mother and his biological father, love is always so fragile in reality. She had heard the old people say that if they had children in marriage, they would not divorce easily, but the fact was that their father left them. The father must have had no affection for his mother at all, or he would not have visited their mother and daughter in the past twenty years, except for alimony according to the law.

After the event, Tong Ziru returned to his apartment.

I turned on my mobile phone and saw the class leader posting in the class group: The New Year's party will start at the end of the month, and the counselor will ask the talented students in my class to actively show, in addition to calligraphy and painting, students who can sing and dance are welcome to come to me to sign up. Students who participate in this party will add credits, and everyone is welcome to participate!

Seeing this news, she was eager to try, she generally doesn't like to show her head. In the past, it was the teacher who encouraged her to participate in these activities. In New Zealand, the whole child is more focused on the whole person before she is a teenager, and she learned a little ballet in middle school, plus she has a sweet voice and sings well.

She is a versatile girl, and others envy her for being so smart and capable of anything, because she forces herself to be perfect, and if there is a mistake, she is afraid that her mother will sneer at her.

Seeing that this group dances with others, I am not familiar with them, so I simply report to sing and sing English songs.

She had a private chat with the class leader and said that she was going to sing Britney's "Every Little".

The final exam is only next month, so it's not a waste of time to take this. It's been a long time since I've shown my singing voice, so it's time to take this opportunity to give it a try.

……

On December 31, the annual New Year's party finally opened.

Before the performance started, there was already a sea of people in front of the stage, and the stage was surrounded by people. Some sat in chairs, while others crowded onto the stage from the crowd to watch. There are also staff members who command on the spot, and the scene is so lively.

The stage layout is simple but not simple, there are seven steps in the middle of the stage, the steps are covered with yellow star string lights, and the left and right sides of the stage are actors entering the stage from the entrance, and on the left and right sides of the stage are placed two pieces of granite that look like bubbles blowing bubbles on the stage. A huge red carpet was laid out on the big stage.

The venue is in the sports hall, and although it is not open-air, the ceiling is made of long and thin tubes that look like shooting stars, and it also emits colorful lights. The front of the stage is also on a red background, with four large characters of different colors written on it: "New Year's Party".

At 8 p.m., the show started on time, and with the cheerful music of "Happy New Year" playing, all kinds of lights on the stage flickered on and off with the music, which was dazzling. Red like sparks, pink like flowers, blue like gems...... Instantly bring everyone into the ocean of joy.

Tong Ziru waited patiently in the background, now she is ready, today she is extremely beautiful, without heavy makeup, but she is also as beautiful as a fairy.

The long yellow-brown kelp-like hair scattered around his waist, and he could vaguely smell the refreshing fragrance wafting from the soft hair. The big blue eyes that sparkle like diamonds like "self-contained contact lenses" flutter and match perfectly on that small and delicate face. She didn't wear a highlighter or blush, but her face was reddish to match her cherry-colored lips.

She wore a long white dress with a long hem that dragged on the floor, making her look like a fairy. Today she wore a small bracelet of rosewood Buddha beads given to her by her grandfather. Usually wearing heavy clothes to block her wrists, today I can see that this bracelet is matched with her slender and white arms, and there is no sense of disobedience.

"Wow! the words are so beautiful like you!" Chen Xi admired again and again, and walked towards the children's words with a whistle.

"Do you want to perform too?" Tong Ziru smiled, and his bright eyes and teeth showed a long-lost dimple.

Chen Xi was dressed in casual clothes, wearing a baseball cap and hip-hop pants.

"Yes, I'm doing jazz dancing today! You're not curious about what I'm dancing like, I'm going to show you two hands today! I'm the third show, and I'm on stage with my class. I remember that your show is in the back, you must watch it!", he said, and snapped his fingers at the children's words.

"Good. Tong Ziru nodded.

After waiting for nearly an hour, it was Chen Xi's turn to play. I saw a large group of people rushing up, Chen Xi was the lead dancer, the rhythm of street dance accompanied by fast and smooth dance steps accompanied by heavy drums, electronic music and a variety of musical instruments mixed dance music, giving people a feeling of swaying and flowing, their hair flicked, waist twisted, sometimes leaning over, sometimes looking up. It's like flying, it's like walking, and the so-called movement and stillness are all rabbits.

After dancing for twenty minutes, they stepped down in everyone's applause, and Tong Ziru also applauded them, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Chen Xi was also a versatile girl.

Suddenly, it was soon her turn to take the stage. It's not that she hasn't participated in singing competitions before, and this time it's not so nervous for her.

When it was her turn, there was only dim lighting on the stage, and everyone couldn't see her on the stage clearly, only her voice could be heard.

With each of her lyrics, the lights gradually come on.

First sentence: Pay attention to me (I can't type English here). It attracted everyone in the audience, it was simply the sound of nature, like a nightingale singing, smart and empty, and as clear as a yellow bird, the kite cries and the phoenix sings, crisp and loud is probably like this.

In the middle of the song, the lights are all on, and she is wearing a white dress like an angel singing. The applause off the stage was also very enthusiastic, and some people shouted "Wow!"

"The words are really beautiful, she is so good at singing, it's not too perfect!" Chen Xi on the side seemed to have turned into a fan girl, and patted Zhao Yang beside him excitedly.

"She's really great!" Zhao Yang also smiled and applauded.

Zhao Yang turned his head to look for a figure at this time, he wanted to see what Yu Chengyi's reaction was.

Yu Chengyi was sitting in the crowd at this time, he didn't laugh, just held his chin with one hand and listened quietly.

At this time, a female voice suddenly entered her ears, "You broke up with me because of her?"
