Chapter 164: My Heart Is Eternal (1)
In ancient China, great emphasis was placed on coming-of-age ceremonies, as it recognized that young people had the ability and qualifications to enter society. In the history of the Han nationality in China, men performed the crown ceremony at the age of 20, and women performed the 筓 (jī) ceremony at the age of 15. According to the "Rites and Rites", the crown ceremony of the scholar class is that the person who presides over the ceremony wears hats three times to the crowner, which are called "Tie Cloth Crown", "Pi Ben (Biàn)" and "Jue Ben", symbolizing that the crown holder has the right to govern people, the obligation to serve in the military and the qualification to participate in sacrificial activities. For women's rituals, the female parents change the hairstyle for them, twist their hair into a bun, and then insert a hairpin (i.e., a basket), indicating that they can end their girlhood and get married.
The coming-of-age ceremony was called the crown ceremony in ancient China, and it was officially used as a ritual and should be in the Spring and Autumn Period. The crown ceremony evolved from the Chengding ceremony, which was prevalent in clan society, and continued until the Ming Dynasty.
The coming-of-age ceremony of the Han nationality stops at the effect of pursuing morality and sanctimony in a large way, so that people can know at a glance that someone is already a "gentleman". With the change of the times and the thinning of the social atmosphere, the coming-of-age ceremony has become increasingly insignificant and unworthy of the name. In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu rulers may not have been able to look at this kind of false vinegar, and simply issued an order, ending the Han people's coming-of-age ceremony that had lasted for thousands of years.
The coming-of-age ceremony held by aristocratic schools is very Westernized, generally after graduating from high school, the school or class holds a grand dinner, boys and girls will dress in formal clothes to celebrate that they can carry out their own social activities, and give gifts to teachers and parents to thank them for their cultivation. After the dinner, they will sing, dance, and perform a variety of programs. After the performance, they will greet the first dawn of adulthood together.
Cheng Xiaoyu has already missed the first link, the grand dinner. At the dinner, the teachers of the third (2) class of high school came, and the head teacher Wang Wei even left tears of excitement after drinking a few glasses of wine, this is the best graduating class he bringed, almost every student was admitted to the ideal university, even Cheng Xiaoyu, who used to give him the most headache, scored 633 points, and was admitted to the play, Cheng Xiaoyu did not go to school, and did not know that his name was on the red list and hung at the door of the school.
Li Liwei was also admitted to Fudan University, and Gu Manting was admitted to Zhejiang University, although it is not far away, it is also two places apart, and Li Liwei is also satisfied with this result. He is now presiding over everyone playing drumming and passing flowers, and those who get the flowers will perform on stage.
Most of them sang random songs on stage, and some sang excerpts from operas, and some boys performed magic tricks on stage and conjured a rose with their bare hands, which immediately caused huge exclamations and applause.
Later, in the process of passing the flowers, with the cooperation of all the students in the third (2) class, the flowers finally fell into Su Yuxi's hands, and then the applause and cheers of the Lighting Forest rose like a mountain and a tsunami, Su Yuxi also generously went up and sang a familiar song "Lovely Woman" with the keyboard, she deliberately imitated some of Cheng Xiaoyu's RNB singing, but also added some of her own relaxed freehand style in it, although her singing skills are a little worse than Xia Shamo, but it also belongs to the professional level, Such a table is already quite perfect, not to mention that for the goddess of Fudan, everyone will not hesitate to applaud.
The last one to win the lottery was Huang Liang, a member of the sports committee, who went up to perform martial arts, and his movements were chic and neat, which also caused applause. Cheng Xiaoyu remembered the win or loss of the bullfight when he saw Huang Liang, he never asked Wang Ou if the ball went in in the end, for him, that ball was the biggest suspense in his entire high school career, and it was also one of the memories he couldn't forget, so the way he remembered it was to not ask about the result, so that this suspense could be left for the future.
After the KTV time began, Jing Xuexuan couldn't hold back her excitement and ran to take a photo with Xia Shamo. KTV time lit up the forest to start offering plenty of beer and snacks. For the good students of Fudan High School, although they have little contact with alcohol, they are not unfamiliar, and at this time, the whole Lighting Forest is divided into many small groups to start drinking and playing some small games. In fact, according to the gameplay of the aristocratic school, it should be the time for the ballroom ball, but most of the students of Fudan High School are grassroots, not children of the upper class, so the gameplay is also quite down-to-earth, truth or dare is everyone's favorite, there are already many boys and girls who are forced to take the microphone and voluntarily hold the microphone to express their hearts to the person they like, Xia Shamo is unsurprisingly the girl who has been confessed the most, standing in the corner with a red face, bowing her head and holding a glass to sip juice, hiding her overwhelm.
The second is to use the game to run over and ask the names and phone numbers of the girls in the idol project, although they all returned in laughter, but everyone was not too embarrassed, one of the male classmates named Shi Kangjing held up the 120 number mobile phone entered by Cheng Xiujing and shouted, making everyone think that he had succeeded, which set off a frenzy of asking for numbers.
Cheng Xiaoyu called the members of the Crown of Sin to come to the booth and sit with the girls of the idol plan, at this time Cheng Xiaoyu's mobile phone shook and received a text message from Wang Dongliang, "It's very good about your promotion plan, but you also know that after the renovation of the company's new office space, there is not much money, and now the key factor that prevents the development of whispers is funds." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the lit screen, a little dazed, and was silent for a while, he slowly returned, "I'm transferring a sum of money to you tomorrow." He pressed his hand on the sending for a long time and didn't let go, and finally Wang Ou accidentally bumped into his hand before moving away from the mobile phone screen. Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the message that had been successfully sent, closed his eyes, inserted his mobile phone into the bag, picked up the beer he had just delivered, poured himself a full glass, and said to everyone in the booth, "I'm really happy to meet everyone, there are always new and strange things on the road to growth, more interesting friends, but people's hearts are very small, so go all the way, abandon all the way, we all think that people will be able to really master themselves after they grow up, so they don't hesitate to grow up desperately, and when they grow up enough, they are enough to say goodbye to their youth, When I look back, I find that the person I was with is gone. But that's not me, I like the cherry blossoms in April, the rainy season in June, the sunshine in September, the snow in December and the kind of you, you make me believe in the generosity and beauty of fate, I also know that I will not be just a passerby in your life, even if there is a reluctant parting, even if the gap of growth is a thousand miles away, even if this is the passing years, the distance will be between us, but I will not disappear, in the future time my heart is eternal. ”
Everyone looked at Cheng Xiaoyu, who suddenly burst out of love, and raised their wine glasses, many girls had never drunk beer, but looking at Cheng Xiaoyu with a sincere face, they all poured themselves a glass, today is a day worth celebrating for everyone, the members of the idol project have obtained Cheng Xiaoyu's promise in a desperate situation, although they don't know where to go in the future, but they believe in their devil coach.
The members of the Crown of Sin were all admitted to a more ideal university, although there are also regrets, Chen Haoran failed to get the champion, Xia Shamo failed to follow his heart to the play, and Wang Ou's guitar level still failed to reach the level of going on stage, but in the short year of the third year of high school, enough things have happened that are worth remembering and reminiscing in the future, all because of Cheng Xiaoyu. Although Cheng Xiaoyu's words were a little sad, they felt that although they were not in the same school, they were all in Shanghai, and Shanghai was very big and small, as long as they remembered each other, they would never be strange.
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the lively forest of lights, drank all the beer in the cup, and then began to toast everyone out of control, he said to Wang Ou, "Friends go together for a lifetime." ”
He said to Chen Haoran, "In addition to learning and drumming, you also have us." ”
He said to Xia Shamo, "Time will pass, and you won't." ”
He poured a full glass of wine non-stop, saluted every girl in the idol project, and said to Cheng Xiujing, "Life is a lot of mediocrity to polish the glory of the moment, and you can't give up pride and hard work." ”
He said to Quan Youli, "Thank you for always playing the role of a big sister, you are not a friend but a brother to all the girls." ”
He said to Jing Xuexuan, "I will bless you and make you always honest and simple." ”
He said to Bae Xiuzhi, "I am not the first to appear in your life, but I will definitely be the last to leave." ”
He said to Xu Qinning, "If you are tired of living with money, come to me, I will support you for as long as you want." ”
He raised the last glass of wine, smiled brightly, and said to Su Yuxi, "Many very bad things have happened in this world, but because of you in my life, I have seen its most beautiful side." ”
Su Yuxi toasted to Cheng Xiaoyu silently, she saw pain and growth in his eyes, let go and obsession.
