Chapter 57: Get Used to It Early
Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Before going to bed, I picked up my phone, and the phone screen was black and the battery was out.
After charging, as soon as it was turned on, more than sixty missed calls and more than a hundred text messages popped up on the screen.
Among them, there were more than 30 missed calls made by my parents, and then, I flipped through it, and there was no "twelve" in the red name, and then I looked at the text messages, more than 90 text messages were sent by my mother, and the rest was 10086, either some kind of messy publicity, or Wen Jiaxin and Tong Lele enjoyed them.
Wen Jiaxin reminded me that I would go back to school the day after tomorrow to participate in the October Singer Competition, and I would be ready for next week's moderator review.
Tong Lele asked me if I was home.
I replied to their text messages one by one.
Then, I clicked on the text message box of the contact "Twelve".
It wasn't a long time before a word could be typed.
I glanced at the time on my phone, and it was 11:25 p.m.
So late? Will he sleep? Send a text message, how can he see it tomorrow?
I still sent a text message to the past, "Fatty, did you sleep?" I'm home. ”
11:43 p.m.
He still didn't reply to my message, and when I used to call him in the early hours of the morning, he would answer it even if I called him in the early morning.
Perhaps, he really slept.
I put down my phone a little lost, lay down, covered the quilt, closed my eyes, and prepared to fall asleep.
Twelve o'clock in the morning.
I couldn't sleep, I picked up my phone, and there was still no new text message on the screen, so I had to put down my phone again and continue to lie back under the covers.
Twelve twenty a.m.
Sober-minded, I sat up and quietly memorized the manuscript of the review, occasionally glancing at my phone.
Twelve thirty-six in the morning.
After memorizing the manuscript three times, I picked up my phone and dialed the number "twelve".
The phone rang in a standard female voice, telling me that the phone was turned off and that I would like to leave a message if I had something.
I put down my phone again, lifted the covers, and went downstairs.
I happened to bump into my dad in the kitchen stealing the cup noodles I bought.
He was a little stunned and shy, but his mouth was stiff: "It's a big night, and you don't sleep yet?" ”
"If you're thirsty, come down and drink a glass of milk." I walked to the fridge and grabbed a carton of Erie pure milk.
"It's cold, don't drink cold, bring it, I'll give you hot and hot."
"You eat yours, I'll do it myself." I turned on the microwave, put the milk in, hesitated, opened the fridge again, and took another carton of milk and put it in to heat up.
My dad looked up at me and lowered his head to eat noodles again: "I can use the microwave oven again." ”
"I learned it in school."
"People go to school to learn knowledge, you are good, learn to skip class, cheat, and fall in love."
"Well, I've also learned to make money, and the cup noodles you eat now are still bought with my money."
My dad pushed the cup noodles: "I bought the house you are standing in now." ”
Bite.
The milk is warm.
I put one of the boxes next to the cup noodles: "Drink the milk and go to sleep." ”
A few steps upstairs with the milk, my dad's voice sounded again: "If that kid dares to bully you, tell me, and dad will support you." ”
"Got it."
After going upstairs, I knocked on my mother's door.
My mom pushed the door open with a look of trepidation.
"Hurry up and call Dad to sleep, after a day's car and plane, aren't you tired? I slept. ”
"Let your dad die suddenly." My mom closed the door.
I hung my shoulders helplessly and went downstairs again.
When I walked around the corner, I heard my dad sniffling.
I stopped and peeked my head into the kitchen.
My dad was a big man with red eyes, eating noodles, eating, laughing again, after eating noodles, watching me give him hot milk for half a sound, then tore open the straw, took a sip, cried and laughed, and sighed with relief in his mouth: "The fawns have grown into big deer." ”
My heart warms.
I turned my back and tiptoed upstairs to my room.
After returning to the room, I turned on my phone again, but there was still no text message from Gu Beichen.
As time passed, my vision of staring at the screen of my phone gradually blurred, and I didn't know when I fell asleep against the head of the bed.
When I woke up, it was noon the next day.
I went downstairs to prepare breakfast, and found that my mom had already prepared breakfast.
There was a note on the dining table, "Lulu, your father's company has something, your brother is still in Paris, let's go back first, I called Aunt Li back to take care of you, the refrigerator is all food, the cup noodles were taken away by your father, he didn't let you eat those, there are 10,000 yuan in your dresser, you take it, it's not enough to call us." ”
As soon as I finished reading the note, Aunt Li, who was wearing an apron, came out of the bathroom with a mop, and when she saw me, she called me happily: "Miss, you're back." ”
"Auntie, I'm bothering you again."
"It's okay, I'm idle at home anyway."
"Auntie, did you have breakfast? Eat it together. ”
"Auntie has eaten, you eat."
I sat down and chatted with Aunt Li while eating breakfast.
After chatting for two or three sentences, I asked her to go back to her hometown to continue to take care of her grandson, she still received the salary given by my mother, after all, she also watched me grow up since childhood, and now I can clean the house, and I don't live for a long time, there is no need to trouble her, and she finally returned to her hometown to reunite with her children.
Idleness at home, cleaning, cooking, practicing, reading, reviewing homework, taking online English lessons, memorizing speeches, and most importantly, looking at your phone.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and I returned to Jiangbei No. 1 Middle School.
The finals of the October singers are held on weekends, mainly so that all teachers and students from all over the school can come in and watch, and each audience member has a ticket, and when the concert is over, the audience will leave the venue, and when they line up to leave, they can vote in each box with the contestant's name on it at the door.
The number of finalists was small, only twenty.
However, I have to win the top three to be eligible to propose to Situ Yang the right to transfer to the music specialty class.
This time, I was ranked higher in the competition, fifth, and Wen Jiaxin was eighteenth.
Each contestant will have special costumes and instruments according to the content of their songs, I did not choose vocal music, but chose a popular song, which is the most popular Chen Xiaochun's new song "Dependent on Life" recently.
This is something I overheard on TV when I was at home, and inexplicably, the melody of this song hit my heartstrings.
So, I gave up on my previous choice.
However, I still haven't given up on the idea of playing and singing by myself.
If I can add piano playing, it's also innovative for the song, and on the one hand, it also shows the audience my instrumental talent, which is a plus.
Before I went on stage, I was very flustered.
Wen Jiaxin kept holding my hand and secretly cheered me on.
I pretended not to be nervous, smiled at her, and encouraged her in turn: "Jiaxin, you have to come on!" Lele Leke told me last night that Gong Chiji came back from England to see your performance! ”
"Let's do it together." Wen Jiaxin gently bent her eyes.
She suddenly asked me, "Then will Gu Beichen come to see your performance?" ”
"I don't know." I forced a smile.
"It's fine."
"Hmm." My mouth was relaxed, but my eyes were aimed at the phone in my hand.
Still no text from him.
As soon as I took the stage, Tong Lele and Ding Baozi in the audience shouted and cheered me on.
Even so, sitting at the piano, I couldn't help but scan the audience, trying to search for a fat face from those faces.
It's a pity that in the audience, all the slightly fat faces are not him.
I exhaled and nodded to the accompanist next to me.
It didn't take long for a song to go, and after a while, I stepped off the stage as if I had never been on stage.
The audience gave a round of applause.
After getting off the stage, Wen Jiaxin held a bouquet of lilac irises: "Ye Banfeng said this is for you." ”
"Oh." I took it, looked at it, and saw that there was a greeting card.
Wen Jiaxin said on the side: "The flower language of this flower seems to be missing, I think, this flower will not be given by Ye Banfeng, there should be someone else, right?" ”
I raised the corners of my lips and opened the greeting card with a bouquet of flowers in one hand.
On the greeting card is a powerful sentence in English and a signature "Goodluck!
Wen Jiaxin leaned over to take a look, and whispered in my ear with a smile: "I'll just say that there is someone else." ”
"Oh, isn't it just a bouquet of flowers?"
"Well, it's a bouquet of flowers, but it's very significant."
"When did you become as poor as Lele?"
"Look at your sad face all day long, tease you, I won't tell you, I'll go to the side to practice singing, you, talk to your fat man." She smiled and walked away.
I put down the iris and immediately called Gu Beichen.
Now the call finally went through.
A familiar and still cold voice came from the other end: "It's over? ”
"Hmm."
"Flowers, got it?"
"Hmm."
"I'll be back in two weeks."
"Me too."
"A few days ago, I had something at home, and I didn't know if my phone was turned off."
"I know."
"You didn't sleep well last night?"
"Nope." As soon as I said this, I opened my mouth sleepily.
"Hmm."
Then we both fell silent for a while.
After thinking about it, I took the lead in speaking: "Fat man, why did you ask Ye Banfeng to send this flower?" ”
"Isn't he my little brother? Running errands is as it should be. ”
"Don't call him, you didn't pay anyone."
"Are you distressed?"
"What a madman, too, is my friend."
"Is a boyfriend or a friend important?"
I smiled brightly: "Of course it's a boyfriend, one more word." ”
"Then you'll have to be on my side, girlfriend."
"Fatty, are you free right now?"
"Well, for now."
"Oh."
"Want me to come and see you?"
"No, you're busy, I'm busy, you're here, I didn't work in the canteen, and I can't entertain you, it's useless to come."
"I'm glad I didn't."
As soon as I heard it, my heart was upset: "Fatty, then let me ask you, what is more important than a girlfriend?" ”
"Family's business."
Now, I can't answer.
Yes, family affairs are indeed more important than girlfriends, no matter how you say it, girlfriends are not his wife yet, not family.
Gu Beichen's voice became softer: "Lin Lu, are you angry?" ”
"I'm not angry, one day I have something at home, and you die, and I will still put you aside."
"Okay, your family's business is my business, one day your family has something ......"
"Phew, your family is in trouble!"
"Haha, I'm not kidding, am I?"
"It's not funny at all." Actually, I laughed anyway.
"Lin Lu, it's my first time as a boyfriend, a novice, if you don't do anything well, you just say it, I will work hard to correct it and strive for promotion."
I sneered: "I haven't held my hand a few times, I haven't been in this class for a few days, I haven't seen anyone, and I'm still thinking about being promoted, you can dream about it!" ”
"Okay, listen to Lin Lu, I'll go to sleep and dream."
"Eh, young man, don't daydream, let's get up!" I couldn't stop smiling as I spoke.
There was also a low cheerful laugh on the other end of the phone: "Okay, what Lin Lu said is right." ”
"Fatty, I don't think it's fun for you to become my boyfriend."
"How?"
"It's too well-behaved, not used to it."
"Then I'm not good, I won't listen to you in the future."
"I'll get used to it."
"Well, get used to it early."
Before I could speak, he said again: "Lin Lu, I have something here, hang up." ”
"Fat ......"
"Toot toot."
My hand holding the phone slowly drooped.
"Lin Lu, I'm on stage." Wen Jiaxin came over and patted me on the shoulder.
I pulled the corners of my mouth, clenched my fists, and made a cheering gesture to her: "Jiaxin, come on!" ”
After Wen Jiaxin's white gauze dress disappeared from my sight, I immediately looked at my phone dejectedly.
"Lin Lu, go see Ah Xin's performance!" Miyachi suddenly appeared from behind me.
He shoved a bouquet of lilies into my hand: "I'm going to video her later, you can hold it for me first." ”
"Oh."
Miyachi had already run to the bottom of the stage with the camera, and I looked sideways at the bouquet of lilac irises placed on the side, picked it up, quickened my pace, and ran to the bottom of the stage.
I think that I don't have enough experience in the matter of dating, so I still have to ask Tong Lele for advice.
