I heard that if you can get the ranking, you will have the opportunity to be selected to participate in the "Chopin Youth International Piano Competition" and obtain the admission qualification of the top foreign music conservatory. Therefore, this competition is not only the embodiment of Yangfan Middle School's comprehensive implementation of the new curriculum reform concept of "promoting the all-round development of students' morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor", but also an opportunity for Lu Li to get close to his dream and show his talents.

There is only less than half a month left before the qualifiers, and because it can't take up study time, Lu Li can only use the daily recess exercise time to practice in the music classroom.

When I used to do radio gymnastics, Lu Li and I were side by side, and I often joked with Lu Li about which boy in front of me was doing non-standard movements, and which girl was peeking at the boys in other classes, although Lu Li didn't respond to me, but his eyes would still unconsciously follow the direction I pointed.

On this day, I was bored looking for a ridicule object in the crowd, and then habitually said to Lu Li next to me: "Lu Li, look, the posture of the man in front is so enchanting." ”

"Where, where?" An unfamiliar voice sounded next to me.

I turned my head, and standing next to me was Yang Ye from our class, and I remembered that Lu Li didn't have to do exercises recently. I had no choice but to smile awkwardly at Chen Fei.

After the broadcast exercise, Gu Zijin put his arm on my shoulder and said, his eyes were slight, "Why did I hear you shouting at Chen Fei when I was doing the exercise just now, and I miss people so much after a while?" ”

I glanced at Gu Zijin, "Your ears are smarter than a dog." ”

"Why don't we go around to the music classroom and see Lu Li?"

"No, the music room is probably surrounded by water now."

I don't know who announced the news that Lu Li will practice the piano in the music classroom during the recess exercise time every day on the school forum, as soon as the recess exercise is over in the past few days, there will be a group of people crowded by the window of the music room to watch Lu Li play the piano, of course, this group of people are all girls.

"Zhen Zhen, if you are so passive, Lu Li may be snatched away by others one day, 'the building near the water will get the moon first', you have to seize the opportunity!"

"Don't just talk about me, what about your senior Chen Yao? Didn't he move after he received the love letter? ”

"Nope. Maybe he's busy. Gu Zijin shook the strap of his badge, looking indifferent.

I was about to tease her, but Gu Zijin grabbed my arm and looked at me with a smile.

I shuddered, "Don't smile at me like that, just say anything!" ”

"Zhen Zhen, I applied to Zhang Long yesterday for the two of us to be the flag guards next Monday."

The flag-raising ceremony of Yangfan Middle School every Monday is to select three people from the first and second years of high school as flag bearers, and each class takes turns. This week, it was our turn to send two flag guards, and Zhang Long asked us to sign up voluntarily. Gu Zijin, who has never been keen on this kind of activity, actually volunteered, and was still secretly signing up without me, I frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple.

"Don't tell me that Chen Yao is the flag raiser."

Gu Zijin nodded shyly.

I was very dissatisfied with Gu Zijin's approach of cutting first and then playing, "I don't want to be a light bulb for the two of you." ”

Gu Zijin wrung my arm, and said in a tone that I didn't know from which idol drama, and said coquettishly: "Zhen Zhen, you just go, people don't dare to be alone with Chen Yao." ”

After speaking, he raised his orchid finger and brushed the hair on his ear.

Her expression reminds me of a poem written by Mr. Xu Zhimo - "The most is the gentleness of bowing the head, like a water lotus flower that is not shy."

Gu Zijin is not a water lotus, her actions are more like water-based poplars. I spat at her, "I think you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to control Chen Yao and knock Chen Yao down, so you called me." ”

Sure enough, Gu Zijin revealed his true form, and muttered "Ye Zhenzhen, you bad guy" chased me all the way, and finally forced by her obscenity, I reluctantly agreed.

On Monday morning, Gu Zijin and I were the first to go to the playground, and a boy in the distance came over with a red flag, I squinted my eyes and looked carefully, but it was not Chen Yao I saw when I sent love letters that day.

I asked suspiciously, "Has the flag raiser changed?" Why didn't Chen Yao come about? ”

Gu Zijin said: "Zhen Zhen, you usually wear your glasses." Isn't that person Chen Yao, who is it? ”

The man got closer, and then I saw it completely clearly, and was sure that the Chen Yao in front of me was not the Chen Yao who sent the love letter that day. It dawned on me that I had sent the love letter to the wrong person that day!

I was thinking about how to explain it to Gu Zijin. Chen Yao was already standing in front of us, he first glanced at me, smiled at me, and then turned his gaze to Gu Zijin for a while.

Then, as if he remembered something, he pointed at Gu Zijin and said, "Classmate, have we met somewhere?" ”

Although it was a very old-fashioned polite remark, every nerve between me and Gu Zijin tensed. Could it be that Chen Yao remembered Gu Zijin?

Gu Zijin rubbed the corners of his clothes, his cheeks flushed slightly from excitement, "I just paint ......"

But before Gu Zijin could speak, Chen Yao had already preemptively said: "You are the school girl who forgot to bring her library card in the city library, right?" ”

At this time, Gu Zijin was next to me, and I could clearly feel her body shake slightly. But she still had a smile on her face, "yes, what a coincidence. ”

Chen Yao didn't notice Gu Zijin's abnormality, he put the red flag on the rostrum, then turned around and said: "Actually, you don't need to prepare anything for raising the flag, just check the flag, and then confirm the music and microphone." Which of the two of you will use multimedia? ”

I immediately pointed at Gu Zijin, "She will." ”

Chen Yao beckoned to Gu Zijin, "Let's go to the back of the rostrum to debug," and then said to me: "This junior, you can check the flag." ”

I nodded, Gu Zijin glanced at me sheepishly, and then followed Chen Yao to the back of the rostrum.

After the flag-raising ceremony, I pulled Gu Zijin away from the crowd and honestly explained the process of sending the wrong letter that day.

"Zijin Niangniang, you punish me. I know I deserve death. I pinched my ears with both hands and waited aggrievedly for Gu Zijin to be angry.

Gu Zijin was expressionless for a while before he slowly spoke, "Zhen Zhen, thank you." ”

I was frightened by Gu Zijin's unusually reaction, and said with a sad face, "Grandma, you can scold me if you want, I'm a little scared of you like this." ”

Gu Zijin burst out laughing, "Zhen Zhen, I really thank you." In fact, what I gave Chen Yao was not a love letter. ”

"Isn't it a love letter, is it a Christmas card?" I quipped.

"Oh, it's not." Gu Zijin slapped my arm and continued, "I told him in the letter that I was the braces girl in the studio back then. However, when the letter was sent, I regretted it. ”

Gu Zijin's eyes passed through the sparse crowd in front of him, frozen somewhere, I followed her gaze, Chen Yaozheng and a girl in their class were talking about something, and the two of them were smiling brightly.

"Didn't you always wish he remembered you?"

Gu Zijin retracted his eyes, picked up the badge hanging on his chest, put it in front of me and asked, "Zhen Zhen, do you think I look good now?" ”

The photo on Gu Zijin's badge was taken when she was in school, her hair in the photo is shoulder-length, her face is a typical melon seed face, her skin is smooth and fair, and she smiles and shows two rows of neat teeth, which is already the type that most boys like.

"It's just a goddess." I nodded, envious.

"For more than a year, I have worked hard to change my humble and ordinary self, just to stand in front of him with the best posture one day, I don't need him to know how much I have paid, as long as he can see the best me now."

"Is it worth it?"

"Well, I want the best of me to meet the best of him."

Gu Zijin flicked his bangs that were blown by the wind and laughed. Her face was full of tenderness in the morning sun.

Half a month later, in the piano competition, Lu Li won the first prize without any suspense, and the teaching director specially praised Lu Li by name at the flag-raising ceremony on Monday. I applauded Lu Li excitedly in the audience, and I was happier than I won the award. But Lu Li next to me is very indifferent, he is always like this, whether he is the first in the exam or praised, he is always a calm and breezy appearance, like an old man who has seen through the red dust.

As soon as the flag-raising ceremony ended, several girls surrounded Lu Li, smiling and screaming at Lu Li. Lu Li hurriedly glanced at me, leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Help me".

It was the first time Lu Li had spoken so close to me, and his warm snort sprayed on the back of my neck, and I couldn't help but shrink my neck, but my chest was pounding.

I suppressed the surging in my heart, glared at the girls beside me, and deliberately said loudly to Lu Li: "Lu Li, the head teacher asked you to go to his office to find him." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I grabbed him by the sleeve and ran out of the crowd as fast as I could. Later, Gu Zijin described the situation when I pulled Lu Li and ran away, like a third party who broke into the auditorium and ran away with the bride.

When he was about to arrive at the classroom, Lu Li stopped, turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the classroom.

I stopped Lu Li in confusion, "Lu Li, aren't you going back to the classroom?" ”

Lu Li turned his head, "The music teacher asked me to find her." ”

"Then why did you just ask me to save you." I gave him an angry look.

"Because you stare fiercely."

After Lu Li finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.

I watched Lu Li leave with my eyes in my eyes, and then walked into the classroom, Gu Zipei sat on Lu Li's seat with a few grilled sausages, took out one and handed it to me, "Zhenzhen, I just bought it from the cafeteria, eat it while it's hot." ”

"Don't eat it, it's too greasy." I stepped back slightly, afraid that Gu Zipei would rub the oil stains on the roasted sausage on my school uniform.

"If you don't eat, you won't eat, why are you staring so big?"

"Scared people."

Gu Zipei obviously didn't understand what I was talking about, nibbled on a few mouthfuls of sausages, and chatted with me.

In the next English class, I had to dictate the words, I opened the word list and read it silently, Gu Zipei talked to me, and I didn't care about responding. Maybe Gu Zipei felt that the conversation with me was too boring, so he simply flipped up the "Student Handbook" that Lu Li put on the table.

I suddenly remembered the "Little Yellow Book" that Lu Li was holding in the "Student Handbook", and immediately jumped up from my seat and snatched the book from Gu Zipei's hand. Gu Zipei was jumped by my sudden big movement, and reflexively let go of the hand holding the book, and because I used too much force, the whole person took a few steps back with inertia, and hit the desk behind me with my elbow, I let go of my hand painfully, and the "little yellow book" sandwiched in the "Student Handbook" flew out and landed in front of the back blackboard.

Ignoring the numbness in my arm, I walked over quickly to pick up the book, and Lu Li, who walked into the classroom at some point, bent down to pick up the book before me.

Gu Zipei walked over and touched my elbow, "Zhen Zhen, are you okay with your hand?" ”

was touched by Gu Zipei, and I bared my teeth and said to Gu Zipei: "Don't mess with other people's things next time." ”

Gu Zipei pursed his lips innocently and muttered, "It's just a book", but seeing that my face was not good, he said as if flattering, "If you say don't move, don't move." ”

A little farce ended, we returned to our respective seats, Lu Li put the book on the table, I saw the true face of the "Little Yellow Book", its cover was impressively written "Acupressure Encyclopedia", I took the book, looked closer, and quickly flipped through the content without giving up, and finally determined that this was not the adult comic that Gu Zipei read.

I breathed a sigh of relief, returned the book to Lu Li, and pursed my lips, "Lu Li, this is the book you've been secretly reading recently?" I thought you were reading the little yellow book! ”

Lu Li turned his head and knocked my forehead as suddenly as he did in the playground, "What do you think about every day in your head?" ”

Lu Li's grandmother said that Lu Li often massaged her in the hospital to relieve her paralysis, and Lu Li secretly read books just to learn acupressure.

I like Lu Li, he is good-looking, good at studying, good at playing, and filial and well-behaved. Sixteen-year-old Lu Li is a gorgeous rainbow, a wind that can't be embraced, and a shining star, I don't know if I am the best me now, but I know that Lu Li, who is sitting next to me now, is the best of him.

I turned my head and said very seriously, "Lu Li, you are so good. ”

Lu Li, who was turning the pen, heard my words, his hand suddenly stopped, and the pen fell on the table with a "snap", I touched my forehead and smirked at Lu Li.
