Chapter 10: The Swan
Jiang Wenxuan still has some sense of urgency about the art performance, which is not a big performance, but it is also a major event of the school.
It's not out of distrust of your own strength, it's just simple...
I don't know how many times I straightened my already straight suit, "I don't know if that guy is sick or not, and he didn't answer so many calls this morning..." Jiang Wenxuan chatted with his clothes, "Hey, I'm not worried about such a small thing as her catching a cold, it's just because I didn't have her words to perform..."
"Ahhh It's annoying to think about! Jiang Wenxuan held his head in his hands and called out in distress.
"Xiao Xuan, don't scream in the morning!" Jiang Wenyun's voice came from the next room.
Jiang Wenxuan looked at himself trying on a suit in the dressing mirror, and said with a wry smile: "It would be nice if it went well..."
The knock on the door sounded on time, and Jiang Wenxuan directly and skillfully opened the door.
"Xiao Xuan, good morning~" Li Jiayan looked at Jiang Wenxuan's bitter gourd face and said with a smile.
"Good morning..." Jiang Wenxuan responded weakly and put his shoes on.
"Yun Sakura isn't okay yet?" Li Jiayan asked worriedly.
"I don't know, she doesn't answer my phone, so I can only wait until school." Jiang Wenxuan threw the suit behind his back.
"Also, she didn't answer my phone either, I hope nothing happens." Li Jiayan looked at the sky that had turned gray again.
Jiang Wenxuan walked on the slightly slippery stone road, remembering the girl's rather haggard face yesterday, and sighed heavily.
As soon as I stepped into the classroom, many students swarmed up and said.
"Jiang Wenxuan, come on, today!"
"Wow, are you going to wear this outfit for the show? It's kind of handsome! ”
"Our class depends on you!"
·······
Jiang Wenxuan looked at the smiling faces of the students in front of him, a little indescribably confused.
"Let's not affect this kid yet, lest he get nervous when he sees the goddess on stage!" Shen Le's heart jumped out and hooked Jiang Wenxuan's neck and dragged him out of the crowd.
Jiang Wenxuan showed him a grateful expression, and Shen Lexin naughtily gave an OK gesture.
When it was time to prepare to set off, Zhang Yunying still didn't arrive.
"Zhang Yunying hasn't come yet, will there be something?" The class was filled with such rhetoric.
"Today, Zhang Yunying is sick and on leave, so our class's performance may be forced to cancel." Teacher Zou announced to the class on stage.
"How is that?" The words of despair came out of everyone's mouths, "This is too unfortunate." Some female classmates looked at Jiang Wenxuan with regret.
Jiang Wenxuan's face darkened, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time seemed to stand still around him, and the discussion of the people around him turned into an indistinct sound of the tide in Jiang Wenxuan's ears.
I promised her that she would do the show well.
I've always thought about being an incompetent knight, Jiang Wenxuan sighed.
Even if I'm afraid of trouble, I always have to respond to her efforts.
Jiang Wenxuan looked at the chair that had not been pulled apart on the side, and his heart was crossed.
"Teacher!" Jiang Wenxuan suddenly stood up from his position, and the whole class was taken aback.
The male classmate, who has always sat quietly in the corner, really appeared in front of everyone for the first time.
"I want to... I want to finish the show! Jiang Wenxuan was a little uncomfortable with the eyes of the people in the class, "Even if it's just me..." I will also convey Zhang Yunying's efforts well! ”
Shen Lexin looked at Jiang Wenxuan's appearance and smiled happily.
"Then give you this opportunity to communicate with the student union yourself." The teacher's eyes showed admiration: "Let's see how much time you can buy." ”
"Thank you, teacher!" Jiang Wenxuan couldn't help but bow.
Shen Lexin took the lead in applauding, Li Jiayan immediately followed the beat, and the whole class also cheered for Jiang Wenxuan.
Jiang Wenxuan rushed out of the classroom and ran through the corridors that were gradually becoming crowded.
Really, thank you, Jiang Wenxuan said from the bottom of his heart.
When he arrived at the door of the student union, Jiang Wenxuan was already a little out of breath.
Knuckles knocked twice on the door, and a deep male voice came out of the door, "Please come in!" ”
Jiang Wenxuan pushed open the door, "I'm disturbed..."
"Hey! Sister, why are you here! Jiang Wenxuan forgot to say hello for a while and blurted out.
"Ah, don't you know that I'm the vice president of the student council?" Xu Muqing looked at Jiang Wenxuan teasingly.
"You've never done a bit of work..." The president, who looks like a handsome guy, said helplessly.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper, I'm Jiang Wenxuan from the third class of high school." Jiang Wenxuan immediately apologized.
The president waved his hand indifferently.
"Is there anything you have here?" Asked in a gentle tone.
"Because my partner has some health problems... So I wanted to postpone the performance of our class. Jiang Wenxuan said with some embarrassment.
"It's such a small thing~" Xu Muqing said arrogantly, "President, it's good to adjust it directly." ”
"You don't have to talk to yourself every time." The president had a headache and said, "I still have to find a school for this matter..."
"Then~ I'll write next month's student council report." Xu Muqing said.
"Really! Great, this is the first time you've taken the initiative to do what a vice president should do..." The elder was about to cry with tears in his eyes, "I'll take care of this matter, I'm so touched..." The president sighed like an old father as he walked out of the classroom.
"It turns out that senior sister, you are this kind of character..." Jiang Wenxuan mourned in silence for the poor president.
"Ah~ I'll do you this favor, will you only say bad things about your benefactor like this? Jiang Wenxuan? Xu Muqing stroked her hair.
"Uh... I didn't mean that, thank you for this. Jiang Wenxuan said sincerely.
"Hmph~ Forget it this time, then the summary of the club for the next month will be yours~" Xu Muqing walked out after speaking.
"I wish you a smooth performance~"
Jiang Wenxuan smiled comfortably, "Thank you, senior sister!" ”
After settling the matter, Jiang Wenxuan returned to the classroom to get his things.
Hurriedly went to the bathroom to change into a suit, the gymnasium next door was already full of people, and Jiang Wenxuan should be standing on the stage at this time.
Patting his face, Jiang Wenxuan made a grimace at himself in the mirror.
Just walked out of the bathroom.
"Ah, Xiao Xuan, you're here!" Li Jiayan walked head-on.
"Well, I've got it settled." Jiang Wenxuan responded.
"I knew you could do it." Li Jiayan smiled, "Hey, you haven't put on your coat well." Li Jiayan helped Jiang Wenxuan's collar go up.
Jiang Wenxuan's face couldn't help but turn red.
"I'm going to get ready! Ahh I'll see you later! Jiang Wenxuan picked up the piano and walked to the venue.
"Hmm!" Li Jiayan watched the boy's back gradually fade away.
"It's still early... But that guy can't really come, right? Jiang Wenxuan was anxious alone, but thought about it offstage.
"I can't make a phone call at school now... I can't get out... Can you just leave it to fate?" Jiang Wenxuan looked out the window and the light rain had begun to fall, "Is it cloudy and sunny?" I hope it's the same weather today. ”
Time passed by a minute, Jiang Wenxuan's fingers plucked the strings, and the pitch was calibrated frequently again and again, and the people in the venue let out bursts of applause.
The morning was almost over, and even if he was transferred to the last place, Jiang Wenxuan was still a little uneasy in his heart.
Immediately on the stage of the finale combination, Jiang Wenxuan's leather shoes quickly hit the ground, and the beat of uneasy emotions remembered in his heart.
The five-minute wait was even more tense than the atmosphere before the previous performances.
"Why haven't you come yet..." Jiang Wenxuan felt his stomach being stirred up, twitching and causing a slight pain.
"Finally, we applauded Zhang Yunying and Jiang Wenxuan from the third class of high school to bring us the violin and piano duo "Swan"!"
Jiang Wenxuan stepped on the bright red carpet on the stage steps, and the applause from the audience suddenly became a little strange.
Holding the violin around his neck, Jiang Wenxuan took a deep breath.
"What's going on, didn't you say a good pair?"
"What about the piano? I still want to see that legendary beauty in the first year of high school? ”
"Can you still play a swan with a violin? Isn't this played by cellos and pianos, so outrageous? ”
Discordant voices flowed in the audience, and Li Jiayan and Shen Lexin looked at Jiang Wenxuan on the stage worriedly.
No matter what, even if it's a solo, I'm alone...
"I'm sorry! I'm late! A female voice suddenly came out.
Zhang Yunying was wearing a plain white dress, and there were some residual droplets on her jet-black bright hair.
The complexion revealed a sickly flush.
"It's really a sister Lin who fell from the sky." Jiang Wenxuan smiled with relief.
Zhang Yunying gently stroked her fingers to the keys.
"Come on! First in three shifts!! Suddenly, there was an abrupt shout in the distance.
Shen Lexin stood out alone in the crowd and shouted.
"This guy is a fool too." Jiang Wenxuan's nose was a little sour inexplicably.
"Zhang Yunying, Jiang Wenxuan, come on!" Li Jiayan and the squad leader also stood up.
"Come on!" Everyone in the third class also stood up and shouted one by one, and even Teacher Zou also stood up.
Suddenly, the venue seemed to be stimulated by something, everyone slowly stood up, and the judges inexplicably cheered along.
"So I have a lot of charm~" Zhang Yunying said.
"Still narcissistic, I'm scared half to death by you." Jiang Wenxuan said with a smile.
"Then let's get started!"
Zhang Yunying pressed the black and white keys in front of her, and Jiang Wenxuan began to accompany the main melody.
Zhang Yunying closed her eyes and enjoyed the tranquility on the stage, and her own main theme fluttered in the venue under the rhythm of her fingers.
The dark clouds gradually receded, and the sunlight shone into the large venue from outside the stage.
The boy played with his small violin, with a happy smile on his face, and the tail of the black suit swayed like a ballet under the unconscious drive of his body.
"It's still handsome in a suit." The figure of the boy in front of Zhang Yunying's eyes became a little blurred.
Entering the melodious melody at the end of the violin, the sound of the piano gradually becomes quieter.
Zhang Yunying's eyes involuntarily wanted to close.
Now, not yet, her face turned red, and Zhang Yunying forced herself to press down the last melody.
The swan-like slender snow-white neck seemed to be crumbling in the wind and rain, and the hair was messy in the air.
The knight in black played for the princess in white.
And the princess is like an epiphany with only one line, like a beautiful and unreal rose, because the weight of the water droplets on the petals is supporting the last elegance.
Jiang Wenxuan finally pulled out a melodious bow, and the whole piece came to an end under the crisp percussion of the piano.
Jiang Wenxuan looked back happily under the applause of the room.
Zhang Yunying had already fallen on the piano without strength, and there was a discordant roar from the audience.
The surprise of a second ago suddenly turned into a fright, Jiang Wenxuan hurriedly put the piano on the piano, and picked up Zhang Yunying regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.
Shen Lexin and Li Jiayan immediately rushed out, and the teacher was already one step ahead.
Zhang Yunying's neck drooped in Jiang Wenxuan's arms, and Jiang Wenxuan hurriedly hugged her upwards and became a real princess hug.
"It's hot!" Teacher Zou frowned and touched Zhang Yunying's forehead.
"Leave it to me next, if I hadn't been optimistic about Miss... She just insisted on going her own way. Secretary Zhou appeared in front of everyone.
"Are you Zhang Yunying's guardian?" Teacher Zou pushed his glasses.
"Uncle Zhou..." Zhang Yunying suddenly regained a little consciousness.
Secretary Zhou hurriedly took over Zhang Yunying, "I'm really sorry for causing trouble to all of you." After saying that, he immediately ran downstairs.
Shen Lexin ran back with Jiang Wenxuan's piano, and his classmates gradually surrounded him.
"I'm such an incompetent 'knight'." Jiang Wenxuan looked at the direction in which Zhang Yunying was leaving, and muttered alone.
Li Jiayan looked at Jiang Wenxuan's expression, and inexplicably a wonderful emotion welled up in his heart.
"Maybe Zhang Yunying can really be Xiao Xuan's swan." Shen Lexin sat on the bench on the side and said to someone.
"It's the first time I've seen him like this..." Shen Lexin looked into Li Jiayan's eyes.
"I'll leave it to them." Shen Lexin stood up.
"Xiao Xuan." Mention Jiang Wenxuan's violin.
"Which swan knight are you going to be?"
