Chapter 10: Xu Ding's Request
At this time, Chen Tao's ears were not as quiet as others felt.
After waking up, Er Meng was already energetic, constantly circling around him, and bombarded indiscriminately with red eyes: "Babi, you must compete for the top spot! You must take the first exam! With my help, it must be no problem! The top of the list in the whole emperor continent! Xueba! When you have the blessing of this Xueba BUFF, after your debut, your fans will not only be your peers, but even their parents, their grandparents, grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents...... I'm going to like you together!Wowhahaha!Covering almost all age groups, it makes Ben Meng very excited to think about it!"
Chen Tao blinked helplessly, feeling that he could still maintain a serious appearance in front of everyone under the bombardment of Ermeng's language, and he must have made a qualitative leap in his acting skills.
But...... He wants to compete for the first place in the whole Emperor Continent list, shouldn't there be applause here?
What's the matter with everyone looking dumbfounded and living like a ghost?
What breaks the silence is not applause, just a soothing and smooth piano piece.
It is Chen Tao's mother's piano work, and it is also the ringtone of his mobile phone.
Chen Tao nodded apologetically to Zhao Hua, walked to the window, and connected the communication application, "Hello." ”
"Yes...... Xiao Chen?" asked the other party a little stiffly.
"I'm Chen Tao. Chen Tao frowned. The voice is a little old and familiar. He quickly reacted, "You are...... Grandpa Xu in the cemetery?"
"It's me. Xu Ding replied.
Chen Tao stood up straight, "Hello Grandpa Xu." ”
Grandpa Xu in the cemetery, isn't that the owner of the noodles? Ermeng immediately quieted down, sat on Chen Tao's shoulder, and pressed close to Chen Tao's ear.
"I don't know if it's convenient for you to adopt a piece of noodles...... and its children...... It's also a little black cat......" Xu Ding said nervously.
Adopt a Dough Sheet...... And its children?
Chen Tao just created "Two Cats" yesterday, and today he really received a request to adopt two cats.
This......
Ermeng's eyes widened and exclaimed, "There are really two cats here...... Babi, you're a god!"
Of course, Chen Tao does not have the ability to anticipate things like a god. It was just a wonderful coincidence.
Although Xu Ding has had several encounters with him, he has only talked to him once, but he wants to entrust the noodles to him, and it seems that something should have happened over there.
Chen Tao was thinking about it, Xu Dingjiu didn't hear a reply, sighed lightly, and said apologetically: "Xiao Chen, if it's inconvenient for you, forget it...... Sorry to bother you...... I'll think of a way ......."
When Er Meng heard this, he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, "Babi Babi! Promise him quickly!"
"Grandpa Xu, I'd love to adopt the noodles and kittens. Thank you for believing in me. I'm in school right now. I can go to the cemetery right away. Chen Tao didn't think much about it anymore and replied affirmatively.
Xu Ding seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not in the cemetery now. You went to school at the High School Attached to the Imperial Academy of Arts, right?"
"Yes. ”
"I'm in the pet hospital. Let's meet up directly at the Pet Adoption Center in the College District. ”
Pet Hospital?
"Babi, is there something wrong with the noodles? Hurry up, let's hurry over!" Er Meng pursed his mouth, looking like he was about to cry.
Chen Tao was not verbose, and immediately replied: "Okay." I'll leave the school right away and be waiting for you at the main entrance of the pet adoption center. Don't rush, take your time. See you later. ”
After interrupting the communication, Chen Tao walked back to Zhao Hua and scratched his head awkwardly, "Teacher Zhao, I have something urgent to deal with later, and I have to ask you for a leave." As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Lei.
In the big office, the others had already recovered from the shock caused by Chen Tao's astonishing words and resumed their busyness.
Zhao Hua looked at Chen Tao with a complicated expression. After a moment, he sighed softly, "You are a measured child. Since there is something urgent, let's go quickly. The exam for the art major is easy for you. But the matter of the unified examination of cultural classes ...... Just do your best. Your body is the most important thing, don't wear yourself out. ”
Chen Tao pulled Chu Lei up, bowed to Zhao Hua and thanked him, and then left together.
Chen Tao didn't even waste time to go back to the classroom to pack up his things, Chen Tao used his mobile phone to connect to the central control of the army aviation car at home, and after setting up the car to pick them up in the middle of the car, he pulled Chu Lei towards the door, and asked casually: "Pig, how did you reply to Teacher Zhao just now?"
"Then I still need to ask? Of course, I will take the unified examination with you. Chu Lei felt that Chen Tao had asked a stupid question, and held his mouth disdainfully.
Chen Tao smiled and patted Chu Lei's shoulder. When he was waiting for the bus at the gate of the attached middle school, he said casually: "Teacher Zhao has given me a lot of help." If it weren't for him, my parents would have had to find someone to trust me and try their best to toss about my schooling. Nine generations of our Chen family have been passed down from generation to generation. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been sent to an orphanage after my parents died a year ago, but I certainly wouldn't have had as much comfort as I do now. If it weren't for him, we probably wouldn't have been able to be table mates for so many years. So...... We will work hard to make his retirement beautiful. ”
Chu Lei was silent and nodded vigorously.
Soon, the car stopped in front of them.
After getting into the car, Chen Tao set an automatic driving route to the pet adoption center. Because the route had not been filed before, the driving system automatically connected to the relevant departments of the traffic police, and after checking Chen Tao's identity, the land aviation vehicle slowly drove towards the destination.
Chu Lei got in the car, glanced at the destination set by Chen Tao, and didn't ask the reason, so he took out two learning recorders from the back seat with a familiar way, handed one of them to Chen Tao, and connected the other one to the network, silently doing the test questions.
Chen Tao also connected the learning recorder in his hand to the network and wanted to do the questions quietly.
But where can Ermeng sit still. He jumped up and down in the car and made all kinds of noise, and couldn't help muttering: "Why is the car driving so slowly? ”
Chen Tao was a little upset by it, and yelled in his heart: "Be quiet for me!" Since Grandpa Xu told us to go to the pet adoption center to meet, the noodles will naturally not have a big incident. The car is set to be autonomous, and the speed is limited. Be honest, you'll see the noodles in a moment. ”
Although Er Meng was not happy, he finally listened to Chen Tao's words, pouted angrily, sat on the back of the chair in front of him, and watched Chen Tao and Chu Lei do the test with his little hands on his face.
After a while, it couldn't sit still again, took out its light screen, held it up in front of Chen Tao, and reminded: "Babi, there are only 154 hours left before the mission time." ”
"It's useless to be in a hurry. Chen Tao finished silently in his heart, kept writing in his hand, and continued to do the question.
Seeing that Chen Tao ignored it, Er Meng simply tilted his head to look at Chu Lei and asked, "Babi, is this your friend?"
Chen Tao glanced up at Chu Lei, lowered his head and continued to do the question, and replied in his heart: "Yes." He's a pig, my best buddy. ”
"Ah, I remember. Isn't 'Pig' the same person you called in the newsletter you sent last night to report your safety? Er Meng snapped his fingers, then blinked, and said very much when Scrooge saw the coin, and said, "I think he is in good condition." Does he want to be a star?"
"You don't beat his idea. Chen Tao stopped his pen and solemnly recited silently: "I respect his personal wishes. Whatever he wants to do, I will do my best to support him. ”
"Then ask him. What if he happens to want to be a star? As a good friend, you should also care more about his dreams!" The more Ermeng looked at Chu Lei, the more he liked it, and couldn't help but encourage: "I think he is a very boring character, if he sounds good, he is cool, and if he says it is ugly, he is dead." If you don't ask, he won't take the initiative to tell you. ”
Chen Tao sighed. I have to admit that what Er Meng said is right.
Chen Tao and Chu Lei grew up together, and naturally knew very well how much Chu Lei's personality had changed after his accident three years ago. Like before, Chu Lei took the initiative to write a love letter to confess to the little girl, and Chu Lei has never done it again in the past three years. Not only that, Chu Lei also showed a strong disgust for the love letters sent by others.
During the six months when he was lying on the hospital bed after the operation, not wanting to talk and not wanting to see people, Chu Lei was naturally rejected by him outside the door of the ward. But Chu Lei still insisted on carrying a backpack to the hospital to see him every day after school. He didn't see Chu Lei, and Chu Lei was never reluctant. Just let his mother give him her study recorder. There are notes made by Chu Lei during class in the study recorder.
Every time his parents opened the door and went in and out of the ward, he could always see Chu Lei curled up and sitting lonely at the door of the ward, silently doing questions, until the end of the hospital visit time in the evening, Chu Lei said "I'll come back tomorrow" outside the door, and then silently packed up his things and left.
After going on like this for half a year, Chu Lei was finally able to enter his ward, and he didn't say a word of complaint, but hugged him fiercely, said "I'm sorry", and twisted his head to the other side. He knew that Chu Lei was quietly wiping away tears.
When he was discharged from the hospital and returned to school, he learned from his mother that in order to be in the same class as him, Chu Lei, who never asked for help, went to Zhao Hua for more than half a month, and in order to ensure that his academic performance during the hospitalization did not fall behind, and in order to realize his promise to Zhao Hua to continue to stay in the key class, Chu Lei concentrated on listening to lectures and taking notes every day, kept reading books and doing questions, and forcibly improved his grades a lot.
But Chu Lei never told him these things.
Thinking of this, Chen Tao couldn't help but look at Chu Lei.
Chu Lei noticed Chen Tao's gaze, raised his head, and asked, "Have you encountered a problem?"
Chen Tao shook his head with a smile and asked, "Pig, what do you want to do in the future?"
"In the future?" Chu Lei was in a trance, and he hadn't recovered from the sea of questions, and said confusedly: "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"
"It's okay, I just want to talk to you. Chen Tao put down the learning recorder in his hand, took out two bottles of drinking water from the car refrigerator, unscrewed one of the bottles and handed it to Chu Lei, opened the other bottle, took a sip, and continued: "Although I didn't agree to the college's invitation, I still plan to continue to advance to the academy's main level when I arrive." If I don't go to the department where my dad used to teach, I might go to the composition department. I want to enter the entertainment industry in the future. What about you? The plan is to go directly to our academy, or transfer to the other four arts? What do you want to do in the future?"
Chen Tao chose to stay in the academy and go straight to the main level, the biggest reason is that his father used to teach in the academy, and he read it like an incense. What's more, he will come up with a lot of music works in the future. That's why it's just right to study in the composition department.
But Chu Lei, his father is a famous film director in Dizhou. Although his mother is a housewife, his mother's family is the largest shareholder of Times Media. No matter which college in the five arts, it will be very happy to throw an olive branch to Chu Lei.
"You're going to the composition department...... Chu Lei didn't think about Chen Tao's question about himself at all, and said thoughtfully: "It's okay." I've written hip-hop lyrics and songs, and I'm interested in composition. No problem. ”
"Don't you like to sing and dance, enter the composition department of wool!" Chen Tao had a headache, rubbing his temples and said helplessly.
Chu Lei opened his mouth slightly, and asked cutely: "Ah? Is it true that the vocal music department, dance department, and composition department of our college are still taking classes together?"
Er Meng watched the excitement from the sidelines, and said excitedly: "Babi, your brother is full of thoughts about being in the same class as you! He can't be in love with you, right?"
This......
Chen Tao held his forehead and sighed in his heart: I didn't expect you to be such a heartfelt second cute.
