Chapter 299: One Month
Time flew by, and soon, almost a month had passed since the end of the finals of the provincial piano competition, and the time had entered April.
At the same time, almost a month has passed since Li Shuning's death.
After taking the time to attend her funeral, Duan Zilian's mood was heavy for a long time.
However, after about half a month of adjustment, he gradually came out of the shadow of Li Shuning's death.
It was Friday.
Tomorrow is the weekend, and most of the students are staying in the school, only after school on Friday afternoon, can they go home, stay at home for two days, and the rest of the time, live in the school.
The thought of being able to leave school and go home today makes almost every dormitory student excited, hoping that time can pass a little faster.
Especially in the afternoon, they can't bear their mood, they can't wait, they can't wait to return to their hearts, and they can't listen to the lecture properly.
Because in another hour, it was time for school in the afternoon, and Cui Kairui next to him couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't calm down to listen to the class, so he always shook his legs, looked at the time, or made some small movements.
This made Duan Zilian impatient, and when he saw the teacher lecturing on the podium, he couldn't help but whisper: "I said, can you be quiet?" For almost three years, I can go home once a week, but why are I so excited every time? ”
"I want to too, I didn't expect to pack, there is still an hour left, and my heart is like an arrow. It's impossible for an outsider like you, who can go home every day, to understand how we insiders are feeling right now. ”
Seeing that Duan Zilian didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke, Cui Kairui gave him a roll of his eyes helplessly.
"Well, I don't understand. However, I still hope that you will be quiet and not disturb my study. The joke shrugged pitifully.
"Okay, okay." Cui Kairui waved his hand to calm down his excitement a little, and then raised his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but let out a complaint.
"It's only been less than five minutes, and this time is too slow, and at this time, time always flies the slowest."
Duan Zi glanced at Cui Kairui helplessly: "If you can focus on class and learning, you won't feel that time flies so slowly, the more anxious you are, the slower time will pass." Having said that, your results in this monthly exam are not bad, but if you don't listen well and miss any knowledge points, I won't help you make up for it. ”
So far, it has been a month since the school opened, and a few days ago, the school organized a monthly exam.
In this monthly exam, Cui Kairui has achieved good results, compared with before, there has been a great improvement, and even the teacher praised and praised him, making many students wonder if he cheated.
Now, the teacher standing on the podium is talking about the test papers of this monthly exam.
Ignoring Duan Zi Pian's nagging, Cui Kairui asked in a low voice: "Pity, tomorrow is the weekend, what are your plans?" ”
Duan Zilian shook his head: "I don't have any plans, just work to make money." If you're bored, you can also go for a cup of coffee and some dessert or something, and I'll ask Aunt Qiao to give you a discount. ”
Cui Kairui sighed: "I envy you, I haven't graduated from high school yet, I can make money with the piano, if only I had a ability to make money." ”
"If you really want to make money, you can use the weekends to do odd jobs, but unfortunately my café doesn't hire waiters anymore." Duan Zilian whispered to Cui Kairui.
Cui Kairui waved his hand: "Forget it, my parents nagged me all day long on weekends and asked me to study, even if I wanted to do odd jobs, I guess they wouldn't let me." ”
After a pause, he sighed: "Alas, the thought that my parents have to let me study on the weekend suddenly doesn't want to go home very much. ”
As soon as the words fell, it may have been that the sigh was too loud, and the teacher who was lecturing on the podium immediately stopped and turned his head to look at Cui Kairui with an expressionless face.
"Cui Kairui, what should you do when you get up and answer this question?"
Stunned for a moment, Cui Kairui knew that his whispering was discovered by the teacher, and smiled stupidly, but after glancing at the question on the blackboard, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
After a month of hard study and Duan Zilian's help, although he has made great progress, the questions on the blackboard are difficult, and he basically can't do it.
Therefore, after he stood up, he couldn't hold back a word.
Therefore, the teacher was unhappy and beat him down.
Looking at Cui Kairui's ugly expression, Duan Zilian shrugged with some schadenfreude.
……
Soon, when it was time for school to end in the afternoon, after the teachers announced the end of class, the whole classroom suddenly became noisy, and the students quickly sorted out the things on their desks, and hurried back to the dormitory, ready to pack up and go home.
All of a sudden, the classroom was empty.
Duan Zilian sat in his seat, slowly packed his things, then put his backpack on the table, played with his mobile phone, and did not get up and leave immediately.
Ten minutes later, a figure entered the classroom and walked straight over.
"Pity, I'm ready."
Raising his head, Duan Zilian saw Xu Ying standing in front of him, also carrying a backpack.
It's April now, and the weather has already begun to get hotter, and the students have changed into short sleeves, even Duan Zilian.
However, to be on the safe side, in the backpack he put a thin coat.
Because the weather is quite hot, Xu Ying is only wearing a short sleeve now, revealing two snow-white arms, although this short sleeve is relatively wide and looks a little conservative in dress, but her excellence is still quite outstanding.
"Well, let's go." Glancing at Xu Ying, Duan Zi replied with pity, put away his mobile phone, carried his backpack, and left the classroom with Xu Ying.
Xu Ying stayed in the school, but after the family reunion, she now returned to the café with Duan Zilian after school on Friday, and then went home with Qin Qiaoyun.
In the past, she would have taken the bus by herself or taken a taxi home.
Therefore, Duan Zilian didn't leave immediately, just waiting for Xu Ying.
Following the crowd and walking with Xu Ying on the way out of the school, Duan Zilian saw a red banner with a sentence written on it - "Congratulations to our student Duan Zilian for winning the championship in the final of the provincial piano competition"
After the finals, the principal specially asked people to make this banner and hang it in the school, so that the school must be well publicized.
However, as soon as this banner was hung like this, it was hung for almost a whole month, and Duan Zilian is now a well-known figure in the school.
Duan Zilian doesn't like to be so public, but the principal insists on doing this, and he can't help it.
"Really, why is this banner hanging? When will it be removed? "To be honest, seeing this banner now, Duan Zilian feels a little headache.
"You won the championship in the final, and the principal was happy, so let the banner hang a little longer." Xu Ying next to her smiled.
"But it's been hanging for almost a month, so I'm in school now, and everyone knows about it, right?" Duan Zilian rubbed his head.
"So, now that you're in school, you should be considered a star." Xu Ying continued, and couldn't help but snicker.
Hearing this, Duan Zilian was even more depressed: "Don't, I don't want to hear the word star now, I feel like I'm two big heads when I hear these two words." ”
"What's wrong? Why? Xu Ying looked at Duan Zilian curiously.
Sighing, Duan Zilian said: "It's not because of the final of that piano competition, I didn't expect that the final to have such a big impact." ”
"Huh?" Xu Ying was puzzled.
Duan Zilian continued: "For a period of time after the finals, some reporters from newspapers and TV stations came to interview me from time to time while the heat of this matter had not passed, and in addition, some conservatories sent me invitations. ”
"If that's all there is, it's nothing, it's been a month, and now there are no reporters to interview me, and I've turned down all the invitations from the conservatories."
"But the problem is that the entertainment industry has also paid attention to this matter. After the finals, some talent scouts and agents contacted me from time to time, asking me if I was interested in entering the entertainment industry, and even helped me think of various personalities, saying that they wanted to package me as a star. ”
"And then?" Xu Ying immediately asked, looking a little nervous.
didn't notice Xu Ying's strange appearance, Duan Zi spread his hands: "Then, ah, of course I rejected them." ”
Hearing this, Xu Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, if Duan Zilian had that idea to develop in the entertainment industry, then it would be more difficult for her to get close to Duan Zilian, and she might even become a person from two worlds.
She was worried about this matter just now, but fortunately, Duan Zilian refused.
After feeling relaxed, Xu Ying asked with a smile, "Why didn't you agree?" If you develop in the entertainment industry and develop well, you can become a star and make a lot of money. ”
Duan Zipian pouted: "Forget it, although becoming a star in the entertainment industry and making money is making money, the premise is that you can develop well." ”
"You should also know that there are countless people who have entered the entertainment industry to develop, but how many people can develop well? The vast majority of people are very ordinary, or even poorly mixed. Even if you are really famous, you can make a lot of money, but in the eyes of capital, it is just a tool to make money. ”
"Besides, the water in the entertainment industry is so deep, all kinds of unspoken rules, and I have to be bound by all kinds of rules, I feel troublesome when I think about it, I don't think I can mix in the mixed entertainment industry, and I may even be eaten to the point that there are no bones left."
