Chapter 14: The Pain of Youth
The campus in early spring is full of vitality, Yu Zixiao squatted on the small lake on the campus to observe the students entering the school, from time to time there were green leaves that were blown off in front of Yu Zixiao by the breeze, he picked up these green leaves and couldn't help but think of the scene when he first saw Lin Yu on the day he entered the school last year.
"The opening ceremony is about to begin, please go to the playground immediately!" The crisp voices of the students at the radio station came from the radio on the outer wall of the teaching building.
There was no one at the school gate anymore, but Yu Zixiao still didn't want to leave, he never saw Lin Yu.
"Hey! Yu Zixiao! Teacher Wu asked me to come to you, and I left you alone! He Yukun picked up Yu Zixiao and ran to the playground.
"Is Lin Yu here?"
"No, I heard that I took a leave of absence."
"Where did she go?"
"It seems that she went to the capital to participate in some competition, which is very important, I heard that she can add points if she gets the ranking in the college entrance examination!" He Yukun's tone was full of envy.
"Students, teachers, spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, the grand and beautiful New Year has passed, everyone has gathered in this hall of learning........." The principal delivered an impassioned opening ceremony speech on it, but Yu Zixiao was not interested in listening, he lived in the school throughout the winter vacation, and the principal came to the school three days ago to rehearse and speak, and he could clearly remember what the principal would say next.
"What do you think!" Teacher Wu knocked Yu Zixiao's head into the air.
“…… No, nothing..."
"Come to my office later." Teacher Wu curled his lips slightly, "Don't hold back if you have something." ”
After the principal, grade director, excellent teachers, and outstanding student representatives took turns to speak, Yu Zixiao dragged his sore legs to the office.
"Wu Mouse, do you know something?" Seeing that there was no one else in the office, Yu Zixiao sat down opposite Mr. Wu.
"I'm guessing." Teacher Wu looked unserious, but his eyes were full of confidence, "Lin Yu is competing in the capital, I know the time and place, do you want to take a leave?" ”
“…… Why do you think I'm going? Yu Zixiao suddenly didn't want to go at this time, he didn't want his cousin to feel that he had seen him through.
Teacher Wu didn't pay attention to him, but very skillfully took out a fake note from the drawer and quickly signed his name and leave date.
"Here you go." Along with the leave slip, Yu Zixiao was given a train ticket and an admission ticket.
"My girlfriend spent too much money during the Chinese New Year, and I really didn't have any savings, so I didn't buy a plane ticket, and you will just take a ride, and the train will arrive at just the right time."
"It's really sad to have a girlfriend...... I didn't know what you thought at the beginning, you want to come to this kind of place to teach......" Yu Zixiao looked at the hard-seat train ticket in his hand and couldn't help but complain.
"What do you mean, you're studying in this kind of place, aren't you?" Teacher Wu pushed Yu Zixiao out, "Hurry up, go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to catch the train for a while." ”
Yu Zixiao didn't pack any luggage, he ran all the way out of the office, he was so eager to see Lin Yu, Yu Zixiao compared with the swallow flying above his head, as if the swallow would snatch Lin Yu away: I must see you! Will definitely explain it to you!
In order to save money, Yu Zixiao chose to go to the county railway station 20 kilometers away, and the sneakers on his feet had been worn dirty and old by the mud road and gravel road, which he bought with the money he earned from his part-time job.
After getting on the train, Yu Zixiao was already sweating profusely, and several girls sitting around deliberately kept a distance from Yu Zixiao, Yu Zixiao lowered his head and inhaled vigorously: This is really stinky!
The old-fashioned train and the rails make a constant "clang-clang" sound, and the scenery outside the window is constantly changing, with wicker swaying with the spring breeze, rippled streams, and birds chasing in the air. Yu Zixiao was bored before he thought about taking out his mobile phone to entertain: It's over! Why is the phone gone! Did you run away or didn't bring it!
Yu Zixiao hurriedly touched his other pocket again, fortunately the wallet was not lost, he breathed a sigh of relief, and began to think about how he should explain to Lin Yu: If I explain directly, I will definitely be scolded, and maybe I will eat two big mouths...... But if she doesn't explain it directly, she's afraid she won't ignore me...... Alas...
Yu Zixiao was woken up by the police, and when the train arrived at the terminal, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Zixiao felt wiped the saliva on his mouth, and hurried to the concert site with the admission ticket.
"Master, go to the place on this ticket!" Yu Zixiao took the somewhat crumpled ticket to the taxi driver.
"It's not easy to walk over there, there may be traffic jams."
"It's okay, you can drive as far as you can." There is still an hour, and Yu Zixiao doesn't know if he can catch up.
I haven't been in contact with the bustle of a big city for a long time, and the colorful flowing neon signs are all over the streets and alleys here, looking at the scenery so similar to his hometown, Yu Zixiao feels unfamiliar like never before.
Tick tick! Tick tick!
The cars in front and behind kept honking their horns, and Yu Zixiao saw through the screen of the small TV in the taxi that several viaducts in the vicinity were stuffed into sausages by all kinds of cars.
There are 25 kilometers remaining, which is expected to be reached in one hour and fifty minutes. The system prompt of the car navigation made Yu Zixiao a little desperate, but he still wanted to give it a try: "Master, I'll be here, give you the money!" ”
Seeing that all the cars that usually galloped on the road were paralyzed here, Yu Zixiao felt that his two legs were so good for the first time, and he kept looking at the signs on the side of the road and ran towards the scene of the concert: I can catch up, I must catch up......
The concert was already full, and everyone was very quiet, except for the footsteps of the players and the beautiful music produced by the rubbing of the bows and strings. Dozens of spotlights were spotted on the stage directly opposite the audience, and there were many professors who participated in the scoring, and no matter who the performers were, they would be nervous in front of them.
"Next, I would like to invite Lin Yu from Qingling High School to bring Liang Zhu to everyone."
Lin Yu deliberately put on the white dress, and Teacher Wu told her that Yu Zixiao would come here to watch her performance today. When Lin Yu came on stage, she deliberately slowed down, she kept searching for the boy in the audience, but in the end she found nothing: maybe he is with Ye Mengning now...... How could he come so far to see my show...... I shouldn't have expected it in the first place......
"Please Lin Yu to bring Liang Zhu to everyone!" The host reminded Lin Yu loudly before Lin Yu came to her senses.
As soon as Lin Yu started the piano, the judges and the audience at the scene were dazzled, and her elegant posture and bow movement were not affected by the atmosphere and pressure of the scene. This violin piece based on a sonata structure based on folk tales presents a complete picture of a love story under the performance of Lin Yu, and vividly interprets the poignant and beautiful love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
"Like...... I can't catch up..."Yu Zixiao sat down on the ground as he watched the pedestrians pouring out of the exit of the concert.
I didn't see it, but she must have pulled well today!
Yu Zixiao found a bathhouse and washed himself well, thinking that his day of running around was in vain, so he buried his head in the water and spit bubbles.
Yu Zixiao still walked into the scene, there seemed to be music echoing in the dim venue, and when sitting on the red chair, it seemed that Lin Yu could be seen bowing politely to the audience after the performance, and then trotting out with some embarrassment.
"Why did you take the first place!! The song you chose is not as difficult as ours! ”
"That is, you must have something to do with those judges, otherwise they will give you a high score no matter what!"
The sound was coming from the background.
Yu Zixiao tiptoed to the side of the stage, and through the cloth, he clearly heard Lin Yu crying.
"You're still crying, we're not crying, we practice hard every day, but we still can't compare to the people we have to do!" After a boy finished speaking, he pushed Lin Yu to the ground, and the sound of Lin Yu falling to the ground pierced Yu Zixiao's heart.
"If it's okay, I'll go first." Looking at Lin Yu's somewhat lonely figure leaving from the backstage, Yu Zixiao finally couldn't help it.
"I'm telling you, an art liar like this should expose her!" Behind the curtain, the two boys were still slandering Lin Yu.
"What kind of thing are you?!" Yu Zixiao violently pulled the cloth across the stage to the ground, and then hit the boy's chin with an uppercut, and two teeth fell at Yu Zixiao's feet on the spot.
"My teeth!" The boy on the ground covered his face and wailed.
Another boy saw that his companion was beaten, and when he punched Yu Zixiao, he was kicked in the lower abdomen by Yu Zixiao, and he also fell to the ground and howled.
"Yu Zixiao..."The boy who had his tooth knocked out called out Yu Zixiao's name.
Only then did Yu Zixiao see the faces of the two clearly, "It turned out to be you two hooligans!" Haven't you been beaten enough before? Do you want to continue to bully people? ”
It turned out that these two people were also students of Xiuzhi High School, and they usually liked to bully people at school, and once they were found out by Yu Zixiao, they were repaired well.
"Who were you beaten by?" Yu Zixiao's eyes looked fierce.
"Was... By you... Hit..."One boy said with some hesitation.
Yu Zixiao immediately stretched out his fist in front of the boy.
"No, no, we fell on our own......"
"That's good, don't talk nonsense when you go back, otherwise others will think I'm bullying you!" Yu Zixiao was just about to leave, but suddenly turned around, startling the two boys, "If you dare to spread rumors that Lin Yu cheated to win, I will knock out your dog's teeth!" ”
Both of them had watched the match of the city's sanda champion, and a boy hurriedly said: "Absolutely not, absolutely no rumors." ”
Yu Zixiao relieved her heart, although she didn't see Lin Yu today, she still helped her breathe a bad breath.
Yu Zixiao smirked while looking at the bright full moon in the sky: The men and women of the island country confessed to each other and said, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight, and I can say the same when I see Lin Yu
"Lin Yu!" As soon as Yu Zixiao came out of the door of the venue, he saw Lin Yu sitting on a bench outside, wiping her tears.
Seeing that it was Yu Zixiao, Lin Yu instinctively wanted to stand up and escape.
"Listen to me..."Yu Zixiao took Lin Yu's hand.
"You didn't come to see my show today." Lin Yu interrupted Yu Zixiao.
"No...... But that's because..."
"It's better for you to go and accompany your Ye Mengning, if she knows that you are with me, she will definitely be angry." Lin Yu didn't know what was wrong with her, she obviously wanted to see the person in front of her, but when she really saw it, she spoke coldly to him.
Lin Yu tried to break free of Yu Zixiao's hand.
"Ye Mengning and I really don't have anything, we just grew up together, she came to the school to look for me that day, I didn't think so much about it, I ........." Yu Zixiao took out his fastest speed and wanted to explain to Lin Yu.
Syllable! A crisp slap echoed in Yu Zixiao's ears, "Is this the reason why you slept with her?" Lin Yu's tears kept rolling down from her eyes like beads with broken threads: "Hooligans, let me go." ”
Yu Zixiao had no choice but to let go of Lin Yu and watched her run towards the side of the road while wiping her tears in front of her, while she just stood in place with a dull gaze.
"It hurts..."Yu Zixiao moved his right foot with difficulty, and the continuous running made the wound that had finally healed open again.
"It's also ...... here" There was a burning sensation on the face that was slapped, and Yu Zixiao grabbed the clothes on his left chest hard: "And here is also ......"
