Chapter 32: Christmas Eve

On November 5th, Zhou Minggao added to Shen Yuanyuan's WeChat. But of course he didn't ask for it directly, but first bribed Zhang Yue with a meal, and then asked Zhang Yue to pull a few of them into a group of people who learned guitar together, and then added Shen Yuan along the group.

I thought it would be rejected. He even thought about how to be cheeky and continue to apply after being rejected, but Shen Yuanyuan actually agreed to his friend's application, and said to him, "Thank you for the gift, in fact, it happened to be my birthday." ”

He feigned surprise and replied, "That's a coincidence." After chatting casually with Shen Yuanyuan not too deliberately, he said that he was going to dinner, and then Shen Yuanyuan took a step forward and said, "Bye." ”

Since Shen Yifeng fell ill, Shen Yuanyuan has spent the most tiring period of her life in the past ten years. People are busy and tired, as if they can't feel the passage of time, and she runs at both ends of the hospital and school, and she survives November in such a daze.

As we enter December, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Shen Yifeng improved slightly after surgery, and after being observed in the hospital for a while, he was approved and discharged. Shen Yuanxuan finally relaxed, she felt that her efforts were not in vain - to see that her father's condition was better than the day before, that was her greatest comfort.

She hasn't talked much to He Youxin lately. In addition to the fact that she is very busy, there is also a reason that she is a little angry with him in her heart. The reason for the anger was that He Youxin didn't remember that it was her birthday at all on November 1st, and when Wei still showed her the necklace, she was still very happy and thought that He Youxin sent it, but Wei still said, "It was Zhou Minggao who sent it, and I don't know why he was here." And I don't think he's that annoying, at least he's more serious than when we first met. ”

Shen Yuanxuan took out the necklace from the box - it was a small silver crane, very delicate and beautiful. She didn't know how Zhou Minggao's name was written before, but when she received this gift, she guessed that it was probably "Minggao", so she would give her something related to cranes.

Sure enough, the note Zhou Minggao sent when she added her WeChat that Saturday was written like this. Shen Yuanyuan didn't think too much, so he agreed and thanked him.

Actually, she didn't hate him that much, as long as he wasn't weird, it was perfectly fine to be a friend.

Shen Yuanhuan's previous plan for his life was very clear. She loves music and intends to stick to it all the time. She wants to take the art exam, and then get admitted to a good music school, and study music courses well. But after her father fell ill, she knew that this idea could not be realized, and watching the operation and treatment fees being spent like water, Shen Yuanrong knew that she could not go to art school. On the one hand, she participated in the art festival because she promised He Youxin, and on the other hand, even if it was to draw a comma on the road of music that she had not had time to start. She decided that until her father got better, she wouldn't think about music anymore. Trying to be admitted to a publicly-funded comprehensive university and taking good care of her father is what she has to do now.

Christmas Eve was a Saturday, and Shen Yuanyuan rushed to the piano store after coming out of school, planning to tell Zhang Yue in person that he would no longer practice the piano in the future. In the past, the atmosphere of Christmas Eve and Christmas was not very strong, but since the beginning of the past two years, Christmas trees full of gifts have been placed in major shopping malls on Christmas Eve, and even the bus that Shen Yuanyuan is riding now has Santa Claus's headtag on it. Shen curled up and stood by the handrail by the door, because she didn't wear gloves, her hands were frozen cold, but she didn't notice it.

The bus stopped at this stop close to the piano store, Shen Yuan got off the bus, and before she could reach the door of the piano store, she saw Zhang Yue, Zheng Qinyan and Zhou Minggao carrying guitars and holding music stands, and they didn't know what they were going to do. Before she could ask, Zheng Qinyan shouted, "I'll just say that Shen Yuanyan will come!" ”

Zhou Minggao smiled at her, and she also smiled blankly.

Zhang Yue asked her why she didn't bring a guitar.

She realized that she might have missed something, so she panicked and said she had forgotten. Zhang Yue handed her the key to the piano shop and asked her to take a random guitar and come out to find them. She took the key and went into the piano shop and ran up to the second floor. After going upstairs, Shen Yuanyuan first clicked on the WeChat group of the piano store, and she found that she really missed the news. Zhang Yue posted in the group on Wednesday: On Christmas Eve, our piano store went to Q Mall to participate in a small performance.

Everyone was happily preparing for the performance, and it was too cold for her to say that she was leaving. Shen Yuanyuan didn't want to ruin the fun, so she picked up a guitar from Zhang Yue's shop, and took out a score of "Miss Dong" from her music rack - if she also wants to play, then play this, Zhou Minggao dares to come, what is she afraid of.

Grabbing her guitar and sheet music, she went downstairs again and joined the three people downstairs.

They got into Zhang Yue's car together and rushed to their destination. After arriving at the place, Shen Yuanyuan found that the pomp and circumstance were quite large. She knew that Zhang Yue was usually the most low-key person, so she asked him very curiously, "Teacher, why did you suddenly open up and be willing to show up?" ”

Zhang Yue glanced at her, "It was Xiao Zhou who asked me to participate, he said that you are leaving the piano shop, and I hope I can use special things to practice for you." ”

"Huh?" Shen Yuan was a little confused.

How did Zhou Minggao know she was leaving? Even if Zhou Minggao knew what happened to her family, she wouldn't even guess this. Without waiting for her to ask a few more words, Zhang Yue said "oops" exaggeratedly, "How did I say it, this is Xiao Zhou's heart, I should have helped him hide it, why did he say it." ”

Shen Yuanyu: "......" She suddenly didn't bother to ask this person.

Then it's time for the show to begin. Zhang Yue came to the stage and sang a song composed by himself, the song was rock and roll, and the atmosphere was very good. Shen Yuanyuan knew that Zhang Yue actually had his own persistence and dreams in his heart, but he had touched too many walls when he was young, and he was still tepid and a little tired, so he only thought about how to support his family and didn't touch the word dream. After Zhang Yue's performance, Zheng Qinyan came on the stage, and Shen Yuanyuan didn't expect that Zheng Qinyan had already practiced "Blue Lotus" so well in the days when she didn't come. The children who often watched suddenly turned into confident singers on the stage, and she felt a little emotional.

Zhou Minggao did not go on stage, which is also very normal, after all, his exposure to guitar and music is too short, and no matter how talented a person is, he will not be able to perform on stage so quickly - not to mention that he has no talent in this area.

Shen Yuanyuan also didn't go on stage, because she didn't report when Zhang Yue asked each of them in the group what song to report, so there was no place for her on the list. However, after all the performers finished performing, she was still instigated by Zhang Yue and Zheng Qinyan to play and sing a song "Miss Dong", they said that she brought the guitar and sheet music, and it was a waste not to perform. After singing a song, Shen Yuanhuan found that there were not only the three of them who applauded around, but also many passers-by who also stopped for her singing.

It got dark early in the winter, and it was a little cloudy today, so it was already dark when they were about to leave. When Zhang Yue came, he drove them here, but when he left, he didn't let Shen Yuanyuan and Zhou Minggao get in the car, he said that he took Zheng Qinyan and guitar scores back to the piano shop, and troubled Zhou Minggao to send Shen Yuanyuan, and squeezed his eyebrows at Zhou Minggao while talking. Shen Yuanyuan naturally understood that he did it on purpose, but he didn't refuse much, just slandered when these two guys became "accomplices".

Then, Zhou Minggao accompanied her out of the mall and walked to the station, and the two of them didn't say anything along the way. I don't know if it's her delusion, she feels that Zhou Minggao looks in an average state today, and finally asks him, "Are you okay?" ”

Zhou Minggao's expression suddenly became happy, and he asked, "Are you caring about me?" ”

Shen was speechless, "I didn't ask anything." ”

Zhou Minggao smiled, "Just kidding, I'm fine, it's good." ”

Shen let out an "oh". "I heard Zhang Yue say that you asked him to participate in this, but you didn't know that I would come, what if I didn't come?"

"Aren't you here?"

"But it's just a coincidence."

"yes." Zhou Minggao said, "It's a coincidence. Because coincidences can happen, try your best. ”

"Why do you think you have something to say?"

"Definitely. So what exactly I want to say, you can guess for yourself. ”

Shen Yuan sighed, "I'm too lazy to guess." ”

As the sky blew with scattered snowflakes, they passed by a small shop. Zhou Minggao asked Shen Yuan to wait outside, and then entered the store by himself. When he came out, he held a wax apple in his hand and said to Shen Yuanyuan, "Happy Christmas Eve." ”

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes. "You're so naΓ―ve."

Zhou Minggao didn't quarrel with her, and took out a new pair of gloves from his pocket and handed it to her. "And this, your hands are red from the cold, don't you know?"

It was a pink glove, and Zhou Minggao obviously couldn't wear it if Shen didn't put it away. She had no choice but to take the gloves and apples and say, "Thank you, I'll transfer the money to you on WeChat in a while." ”

When they arrived at the bus stop together, the bus just arrived, and Shen Yuanyuan said to Zhou Minggao, "You don't have to come up, I'll go back by myself." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Minggao gave her a roll of his eyes, "Let's stop by." I'm A-big. Looking at Shen Yuan's somewhat surprised look, Zhou Minggao asked again, "I don't look like I can be admitted to a university, do I?" ”

"No, no." Shen Yuan turned his head to look out the window and stopped looking at him.

There was a white mist on the window, and Shen Yuan raised his hand to gently wipe a piece clean, and Zhou Minggao's side face was reflected in the re-transparent glass. He seemed to be in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Shen Yuan looked farther away, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn't see the distance clearly, so she had to stare at Zhou Minggao's side face reflected in the glass again. The moment he suddenly turned his head to look at the glass, Shen Yuan was startled and quickly looked away.
