Volume 2 Piano Competition Chapter 153 Before the Competition
This week is the last week of the school's fall semester, and basically as long as you finish the exams, you can have a holiday.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the school held its final exams, and Duan Zilian asked Qin Qiaoyun for two days off to go back to school for the exam, and by the way, he went to meet the classmates in the class.
During the two-day exam, Duan Zilian naturally also met Xu Ying, after all, they were classmates in the same class, and it was difficult to think of them in school.
Since she explicitly rejected Xu Ying again last Sunday, Duan Zilian noticed that she hadn't sent a message to herself in the past few days, and even when she was taking exams at school, she was at most asking Duan Zilian a few questions, and her tone of voice didn't seem to be so close.
As a result, Duan Zilian estimated that Xu Ying should have given up completely, although she felt sorry for her, but there was no way to do it.
Because it is a final exam, it is different from the previous monthly exams, and the atmosphere is still quite dignified, and many students are seriously reviewing and striving to get good results in the exam.
You must know that for many students, the quality of this final exam score will determine how much money they can get for the New Year.
In such an atmosphere, two days passed like this, and as soon as the final exams were over, many people cheered happily, as long as it was tomorrow Friday afternoon, when the school officially closed, they could be liberated.
So, on Thursday afternoon, after the last English test, Duan Zilian saw that many students were starting to discuss where to go for the winter vacation, and some students planned to eat more hearty tonight in order to celebrate the upcoming winter vacation.
Looking at a group of happy classmates in the class, Duan Zi couldn't help but smile, packed up his things, refused Cui Kairui's invitation to go to the cafeteria to eat together, and left the school by himself.
Since she had already asked for leave, Duan Zilian didn't have to go to the café to work tonight, and after having dinner with Luo Xinyan and Luo Lingling, she returned to her room and did her own thing with nothing to do.
Suddenly, Duan Zilian thought that he was going to participate in the second municipal competition of the piano competition on Sunday this week, so he opened the piano cover and practiced for the Sunday competition.
After a while, Duan Zilian noticed that Luo Xinyan was pushing a wheelchair and brought Luo Lingling in to listen to the piano.
Unaffected, Duan Zilian continued to play.
After listening to it, Luo Xinyan, who didn't have any musical cells, felt bored, so she left by herself and let Luo Lingling take Duan Zilian into the room.
After playing for half an hour, Duan Zilian stopped, took a break, and took a sip of water.
"When are you going to play?" After a pause, Luo Lingling suddenly asked.
"Just this week, Sunday." Looking at Luo Lingling, Duan Zilian replied.
"How are you practicing? Are you sure? Luo Lingling asked again.
"It should be fine." Duan Zilian nodded. "As long as you can win the championship of this municipal second competition, you can get a bonus of 100,000 yuan, and when the time comes, I will transfer half of the money to your and Xinyan's bank cards, and repay you part of the money first."
"Hmm." Luo Lingling replied casually, anyway, even daily life needs to be taken care of by others all the time, she has no concept of money, she just thinks it is enough.
"By the way, if I win this competition, how about we go out and play together when we come back? You haven't been out in a long time. Duan Zilian made a suggestion.
"I don't want to go out, I can't see anything when I go out anyway, it's the same everywhere." Luo Lingling said indifferently.
Glancing at Luo Lingling's eyes that had been closed, Duan Zipian sighed slightly in his heart, and then said: "Let's go out for a while, at least you can go out and eat a lot of delicious food, such as barbecue and seafood." ”
"We'll talk about it then." Luo Lingling's tone did not change at all.
But Duan Zilian knew that she should have been moved, so she didn't say anything more and continued to play the piano.
Gradually, when the time reached half past nine in the evening, Luo Xinyan walked in with a frosty face, took Luo Lingling to the bathroom to take a bath, and prepared to sleep.
And after they finished taking a shower, Duan Zilian also went to the bathroom to take a comfortable hot bath, and then thought for a while, and after confirming that everything for today had been done, he lay on the bed and nested in the bed.
Tonight, there were no xenobiotic beasts, so the night passed without incident.
The next day, it was Friday.
Although the school's final exams had ended yesterday afternoon, the students still had to spend their last day at school and listen to the teacher's papers.
You know, under normal circumstances, high school teachers change the test papers very quickly, and just after the exam yesterday, today the students basically know the results of each subject.
So, Luo Xinyan had to get up early this morning to go to school.
And Duan Zilian went to work in a café.
In the evening, Duan Zilian still works in the café.
Because there were things to do at night, Qian Meng, Bai Yan and Xu Feiqi all took leave and did not come to work in the café, so that things like entertaining guests and cleaning up the dishes could only be done by Qin Qiaoyun, who was the owner of the shop.
Fortunately, there are not many people who come to drink coffee at night, and Qin Qiaoyun can be completely busy alone.
During the break, Duan Zi was bored, so he took out his mobile phone to see if anyone had sent a message during his working hours.
As a result, there really is.
It was Cui Kairui who sent a message.
This afternoon, the school officially closed, and the students left the school as if they were completely liberated, carrying suitcases or backpacks.
In order to celebrate the holiday, Cui Kairui made an appointment with a few friends in the class tonight to eat barbecue in a cafeteria, and he also sent several photos of barbecue to Duan Zilian, the purpose of showing off to Duan Zilian.
After laughing, Duan Zilian sent Cui Kairui a message back, chatted with Cui Kairui for a while, and saw that the time was almost up, so he began to continue working.
At ten o'clock, Duan Zilian finished changing her clothes and prepared to leave work.
However, before leaving, Qin Qiaoyun suddenly stopped Duan Zilian: "Pity, the second city-level competition of that piano competition will be held on Sunday the day after tomorrow, right?" ”
Duan Zilian nodded: "Yes." Aunt Qiao, are you also concerned about this matter? ”
"Of course, the employees in my store participated in such a meaningful competition, and as the boss, how can I not pay attention to it?" Qin Qiaoyun said as a matter of course.
"Uh, so what?" Duan Zilian asked Qin Qiaoyun about his purpose.
Qin Qiaoyun replied: "So, you are going to the competition the day after tomorrow, I will give you a holiday tomorrow, so that you have time to prepare well." ”
Hearing this, Duan Zi was stunned for a moment: "Eh...... No need......"
"So be it, you have to work hard and try to get a good ranking." Qin Qiaoyun decided this matter like this.
"Okay then......" Duan Zilian touched his nose.
After saying goodbye to Qin Qiaoyun, Duan Zilian became happy, he didn't have to go to work tomorrow, which meant that he could have a whole day of rest tomorrow, at least he could sleep lazily.
……
Saturday.
Thinking that he was going to the game tomorrow and Sunday, he might not have a lot of free time, so Duan Zilian planned to visit Zhong Yi in the hospital today.
After coming out of the hospital, Duan Zilian went home directly and stayed at home with nothing to do until the afternoon, and then had to go out because of one thing.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Duan Zilian received a call from the principal.
didn't know what the principal was going to do, Duan Zilian answered the phone: "Principal, is there something wrong?" ”
"Are you home now? You get ready, I'll pick you up. The principal also explained his intentions bluntly.
"Huh? Pick me up? Is it for something? Duan Zi was stunned for a moment.
"There was a notice on the official website of that piano competition, didn't you read it?"
"Uh...... I didn't pay attention, what kind of notice is it? Duan Zilian was a little embarrassed, as a contestant, he didn't pay attention to the notice on the official website in time, which is really a bit unreasonable.
The principal on the other end of the phone seemed speechless for a moment: "...... Tomorrow is the second competition at the municipal level, so the organizers of the competition plan to hold a small banquet tonight and invite all the participants to participate. ”
"Why do you want to have a small party? Going there, I probably didn't know anyone by all. Duan Zilian was a little speechless, to be honest, he didn't really want to attend that banquet.
"Maybe I want all the contestants to get to know each other before the competition, after all, they are all mixed in a circle, if there is any difficulty in the future, it is easy to do things with a few acquaintances in the circle." The principal said his opinion, after all, holding a banquet or something is nothing more than to attract contacts and expand his social circle.
"Sounds like a lot of trouble, can you not go?" Duan Zilian didn't want to participate in that kind of trouble.
"The notice said that all the contestants in the city who advanced to the second round should try their best to participate, so you should participate in it, after all, it may be helpful for you to make a few more friends in the circle."
Hearing the principal say this, Duan Zilian knew that he couldn't help himself again: "Okay, I know, where is the location?" ”
"I'll pick you up, I'll be there tomorrow's game."
"No need, I'd better go by myself." Duan Zilian wanted to go by himself because his relationship with the principal was actually not very familiar, and it would be embarrassing if there was no topic to talk about on the road and fell into a long silence.
And if you go alone, although it is a little boring, it is much better than embarrassing.
"Okay, the venue is at the Sega Hotel, and the party starts at seven o'clock in the evening, so don't be late. Also, if you bring an extra set of clothes, you won't have to go back tonight, you can stay here, and the venue for tomorrow's game will be near the Sega Hotel anyway. ”
"yes, I see."
"Okay, then you are alone, pay attention to safety on the road, and when you arrive, just call me."
"Hmm."
