8. Chapter 8
In mid-April, An Zhizhi took the provincial aptitude test. This is a mock test before the college entrance examination, and all the qiΔ are carried out according to the standards of the college entrance examination, and the test results will also be ranked in the province, so that students can have a rough estimate of their scores.
After the exam, the teachers basically will not pay close attention to studying, and the rest of the time is to pass the key points in the book, talk about some classic and error-prone question types, so that students can check and fill in the gaps and minimize mistakes. ββAt this time, it is basically impossible for everyone to make any qualitative leaps, so it is a matter of fighting for the gap of one point and two points.
Moreover, the school also has the meaning of letting students relax their nerves a little. After all, it's not that there are no students who are too nervous when they are approaching the college entrance examination and suddenly lose control of their emotions. There have even been students who collapsed at the last minute and committed suicide by jumping off a building, which is really regrettable.
Therefore, the school does not dare to blindly put pressure on students, but should let them relax appropriately. Without the papers and unfinished homework, An Zhizhi also felt a lot more relaxed, and was finally able to take a breath.
After Shen Yanru found out, he also gave her a vacation for the first time. So the next morning, An Zhi made an exception and slept in.
Shen Yanru didn't set the alarm clock, but he still opened his eyes at half past five. She turned on her phone to look at the time, turned her head and saw An Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The biological clock is really very powerful, but in just a month, she has become a habit.
In fact, Shen Yanru does not have the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Because I am engaged in creative work, inspiration is the most important thing, so staying up late is naturally commonplace. Before coming here, Shen Yanru often reversed day and night, and his life was irregular to the extreme.
Even she sometimes feels a lot of pressure at work, and she needs to spend more time and energy to get things done perfectly. In the past four years, she has basically not had a normal day off.
On the contrary, the cooperation with Zhang Tianjie was terminated, and when he came here, he had to accommodate An's knowing work and rest time, and slowly became accustomed to such a regular life.
Shen Yanru sat up, did not alarm An Zhizhi, and after changing his clothes, he went out quietly.
She has actually had some trouble in the past two days.
Maybe she wanted to do this too well, or maybe An Zhi's outstanding talent stimulated her, so Shen Yanru wrote several versions of the lyrics and songs before, but in the end she was not satisfied, so she could only overturn it and start over. But no matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel appropriate. Seeing that An knew that the college entrance examination was going to take place in more than a month, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
It's just that inspiration is something that you can't just think about. In the past few days, An Yan knew about the exam, and Shen Yanru was afraid that it would affect her, so she usually tried her best to restrain herself, but the anxiety in her heart was actually getting heavier and heavier.
She went to the small park alone. Maybe she was used to giving lessons to An Zhi here every day, so she habitually took the usual path. After a while, I came back to my senses and realized that An knew that he was not there today.
She ran twice along the path of the park, breathing in the fresh morning air, and then she felt that the depression in her heart had dissipated a little.
Coming out of the park, Shen Yanru was not in a hurry to go back. Anyway, Ann knew that she was sleeping, and it was not convenient for her to work. So she walked slowly along the street in front of the door.
It's a quiet and tranquil town. The pace of life is actually very slow. Although there are often people from the entertainment industry here, for these locals, the impact is minimal. After all, most of the crew will go into the mountains to film, and it has nothing to do with their lives.
Probably because the city is so small, most of the people here know each other, and when they meet them on the street, they will greet them warmly. So in this tranquility, there is a sense of vitality.
Shen Yanru experienced such a feeling as she walked. She was a bystander, but perhaps that was why she was able to see better.
When he was tired of walking, he saw a breakfast shop next to him, so Shen Yanru walked in and ate a local breakfast. A big bowl of noodles for five yuan was good and cheap, and in the end, she only ate half of it when her stomach was full, and she was very ashamed to have leftovers.
After eating and drinking, the mood is also better. At this time, the sun had just come out, and the sun was shining golden, but not very dazzling. Shen Yanru's heart suddenly felt a little touched. She thought, why not write a song about this city? Isn't this the most suitable song for Ann to know?
Thinking like this, it was like removing the gauze covering the eyes, and the sights suddenly became clear, and all kinds of thoughts flashed in my mind one after another, and were squeezed out by the next one. Shen Yanru suddenly had a feeling of impatience and planned to record this inspiration.
But she didn't bring a pen and paper with her when she went out, so she could only turn around and walk briskly towards the hotel. The faster and faster you walked, the faster you walked, and in the end it almost became a run. At this time, Shen Yanru realized that he had gone so far.
When he ran to an intersection, he encountered a red light, and Shen Yanru had to stop and wait. In this moment of boredom, she turned her head by chance and saw an unexpected person.
Yes Ann knows.
She carried a basket of gardenias and sold them along the streets, with a big smile on her face. Maybe it's because people in the small town love beauty, and from time to time someone comes up to buy a stick, and the business is quite good.
After this wave of guests left, no one passed, so An Zhizhi walked away with the basket. Shen Yanru's heart moved, so he raised his heel and went up.
She didn't know what she thought, anyway, she followed An Zhizhi so secretly, and when An Zhizhi turned her head to look here, she would hide. Just followed until An Zhi sold all the words, leaving only the last branch.
Then she stopped and crouched on the side of the road to rest. I also took out all the change I had harvested this morning, counting them one by one.
Shen Yanru walked over slowly, walked up to her, and asked in a low voice, "How do you sell your flowers?" β
"This branch is not-" An Zhizhi raised his head with a smile, and when he saw her, the smile on his face stiffened, and it turned into a weak heart, "Shen, Teacher Shen?" β
Detective Ru nodded and asked her, "How do you sell flowers?" β
"Yours." An Zhizhi took out the last branch directly from the basket and handed it to her, "No money!" β
Maybe it was because the smile on her face was too bright, it seemed to glow in the sun, Shen Yan reached out and took it like a ghost, leaned over and sniffed it gently.
An knew that he hurriedly stopped, "Don't-"
The aroma of gardenias is very rich, because they are so close, Shen Yanru almost has a feeling of being smoked. Fortunately, there is only one stick, and the taste is not too strong. An Zhizhi looked at her with a smile, "This flower is too fragrant, you can just put it in the house." Don't get too close to smell it. β
Shen Yanru looked at her, feeling as if she had a lot to ask, but in the end, what she said was, "You like flowers very much?" β
She remembered that Ann knew that she also worked in a flower shop before, and even lived in the shop at night. Before, she only felt that it was forced by life, but now it seems that she should like these things very much. Otherwise, how could he finally have a little leisure in the morning and run out to sell flowers?
An Ming smiled a little embarrassedly, "Yes, my previous dream was to open a flower shop in the future." β
The so-called "before" refers to before meeting Shen Yanru.
It was four years ago, but for An Zhizhi, it was more than ten years ago. It was very easy to say at this time, and there was no emotion, and the tone was plain.
Shen Yanru's eyes moved slightly, and finally raised his hand to look at his watch, "It's almost half past seven, aren't you going to school today?" β
"I'll have a half-day off today, and I'll only go in the afternoon." An Zhizhi said.
"Then let's go back." Shen Yan said.
The two returned to the hotel, and Shen Yanru solemnly asked the front desk for a crystal cup to use to insert the gardenia. An Zhi laughed happily on the side, "With such a plug, I feel that the value of this flower will go up immediately!" β
"I forgot to ask you, how much money did you make this morning?" Shen Yanru turned his head to look at her.
An Zhizhi immediately became honest and took out a large handful of change from his bag, "It's all here, it's estimated to be thirty or forty yuan." β
"Did you work like this before?" Shen Yanru asked.
An Zhi nodded, "Almost." β
Shen Yanru was really curious, how could An Zhizhi maintain such an optimistic and positive attitude in such a situation and encounter? But this question, she did not dare to ask. It is not appropriate to speak in a shallow way.
She sent An Zhizhi to read the book, and she spread out the pen and paper and began to create. She writes very quickly, but quickly crumples the paper off, obviously not usable. The movement was so loud that An Zhizhi couldn't help but stare at her.
After a long time, Shen Yanru finally stopped, turned his head and saw An Xiaoxiao, so he said, "Come and see this song." β
"I don't see anything, do I?" An Zhi said this, and leaned over very curiously.
Shen Yanru got up and took down the guitar he brought from the wall, "I'll play it for you." β
The music that has just been written is definitely not very smooth, Shen Yanru has to stop and think about it from time to time, or revise it, or overturn and rewrite it, and then play it again, it will be much smoother. After a staccato cycle, she played it again in a coherent manner.
After listening to it, An Zhi couldn't help but ask, "What is this song called?" β
Shen Yanru said casually, "Flower girl." β
Ann knows: "......"
