Chapter 4 Campus Activities
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's October. The basketball game is also approaching. Lin Yuan had just returned to the classroom after practicing from the playground, and turned his head to Bai Qi with a stinky sweat and asked, "I'm going to participate in a singing competition in the middle of this month, do you have any good songs to recommend." Bai Qi looked up at him and said slowly, "No." "Do you have any favorite songs?" "Not either." Bai Qi seemed a little impatient. Lin Yuan felt that she had a problem, but it was not good to ask again. Lin Yuan thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find a song he wanted to sing. Forget it, I'll ask Weizi in the afternoon. couldn't think of it, so Lin Yuan gave up.
Between classes, Lin Yuan accidentally saw Bai Qi's diary on the table. By the way, I haven't read her diary for a long time, and I don't know what she remembered, Lin Yuan picked up Bai Qi's diary while Bai Qi went to the bathroom with curiosity. Flipping through the diary of September, Lin Yuan saw that Bai Qi had written down some of his daily trivialities, and felt that there was nothing new, so Lin Yuan turned it over directly. "September 23rd! Lin Yuan stopped turning the page, on this day, Bai Qi did not write down anything, but wrote a "poem". This should not be poetry. Lin Yuan looked carefully and didn't understand what it was, at this time, there was a conversation between Bai Qi and other female classmates outside the door, Lin Yuan hurriedly put the diary back on Bai Qi's desk, and then pretended to write homework. When Bai Qi returned to his seat, he looked at the diary and felt a little awkward: Why is it not the same position as just now? Bai Qi was a little puzzled, she looked up at Lin Yuan at the front table again, but saw the back of him doing his homework seriously. Bai Qi shook his head, feeling that he was thinking too much, so he put the diary back into his bag.
During class time, Lin Yuan had been thinking about how to get Bai Qi's diary again, and since the last time she peeked at Bai Qi's diary, she had become wary. It seems that we can only wait for the opportunity. Lin Yuan thought for a moment.
After school, Su Datou said, "Everyone can get out of school, and Bai Qi will come to my office." After listening to Su Datou's announcement, everyone happily packed up their things and prepared to leave. Bai Qi walked out of the classroom with the Chinese test paper. As soon as Lin Yuan saw the opportunity, he hurriedly borrowed a camera from Liu Wei, he carefully opened Bai Qi's schoolbag, took out the diary, and then flipped to the contents of September 23, and took a picture of the page with the camera. Lin Yuan just wanted to close the diary, but after thinking about it, he turned the diary down again, and these icons were - piano score! Lin Yuan seemed to understand that the "poem" in front of him was not a "poem", but a song. After taking pictures of the contents of the diary, Lin Yuan put the diary back into Bai Qi's schoolbag.
After returning home, Lin Yuan copied the contents of the photo onto paper. Copied the piano score, Lin Yuan found that the piano score was incomplete. Lin Yuan turned on his mobile phone and searched Bai Qi's lyrics, thinking that he could find this song on the Internet, but there were only similar lyrics on the Internet, and none of the piano scores were the same. "Did she write it herself?" Lin Yuan said to himself. After searching to no avail, Lin Yuan concluded that the song was written by Bai Qi himself. He thought about it and felt that it was not bad to sing the song written by Bai Qi, so he decided to sing this song on the night of the competition. But I can't play the piano, so I can only ask Weizi to help me. Lin Yuan looked at the guitar in the corner of his bed and shook his head helplessly.
On the weekend, Lin Yuan came to Liu Wei's house. As soon as Liu Wei saw Lin Yuan, he said with a puzzled look: "Brother Yuan, what is the matter, you have to say it at my house, and you have to sacrifice our practice time." "Didn't you say you'd practice singing with me and then participate in the singing competition?" I'm going to do this now, Weizi, you won't regret it, right? After Lin Yuan finished speaking, Liu Wei stopped arguing because he knew that he was unreasonable, he cleared his throat and said, "Brother Yuan, how are you going to practice?" Lin Yuan took out the copied lyrics and sheet music from his schoolbag and handed it to Liu Wei. Liu Wei took the notebook and looked at it and said, "What kind of song is this, why haven't I seen this lyrics." "A friend of mine wrote it, and I wanted to sing it to her on the day of the competition, but I didn't finish the song, so it's up to you, Weizi." Lin Yuan pointed to Liu Wei's piano and said. Liu Wei smiled: "It seems that the foundation of my piano lessons in the past five years has been somewhat useful. Sitting on the chair, Liu Wei first played a short paragraph according to the score in the notebook, and then corrected the lyrics. Well, your friend's previous score is okay, but I have to change it to make it closer to the lyrics and more beautiful. Liu Wei immediately let go of his hand, he auditioned over and over again, and then wrote down the composition over and over again. Lin Yuan took his guitar and practiced the guitar he drew to compose songs to find his feel.
When the sunlight hit Lin Yuan and Liu Wei's faces through the window, the two suddenly realized that it was already evening at this time. Liu Wei played the song he had composed carefully, and then handed it to Lin Yuan with confidence, and then said proudly: "Brother Yuan, the music is finished, I will send you the recording later." You can watch the guitar sheet yourself, hee-hee. Lin Yuan took the score in Liu Wei's hand, and then said, "So fast, I'll listen to it when I go back." After speaking, Lin Yuan left Liu Wei's house.
Holding the song composed by Liu Wei, Lin Yuan felt extremely comfortable, and he was determined that he would be able to sing this song well. When he got home, Lin Yuan had a simple meal and then returned to his room. I'm going to finish writing a score to tell him. Clicking on the piano recording that Liu Wei sent to himself, Lin Yuan listened to this music quietly, although Liu Wei did not play very smoothly, he still nodded approvingly. After cutting the recordings into several paragraphs, Lin Yuan sent them to his friends, and then asked them to practice......
Early in the morning, Lin Yuan got up, and after he put away the piano scores, he planned to go back to school and ask Bai Qi. When he arrived in the classroom, Lin Yuan saw that Bai Qi was reciting words, so he asked Bai Qi in a mysterious tone, "Have you ever studied piano?" Bai Qi frowned and said, "I've learned a little, I can't say that I know, why are you asking this?" Lin Yuan didn't go into this topic further, he changed the topic and said: "Tomorrow is the school basketball game, I want you to help me with something." ”
"What's the matter, you have to ask me for help," Bai Mao said as he put down his notebook.
"It's as simple as buying me a bottle of water for tomorrow's game."
"That's it?"
"That's right."
Lin Yuan put the money to buy water on Bai Qi's table, Bai Qi hesitated for a moment and accepted the money, she was also confused by Lin Yuan's series of operations, practicing the piano for a while, and buying water for a while......
The next day, after the principal's passionate speech, the basketball game began for each grade and class. Bai Qi rushed to the commissary and remembered what Lin Yuan had said to her: "Buy what you like to sing, the extra money is mine, and you will be given the passage fee if you can't spend it." Bai Qi took a look around, thinking that what he liked to sing was green tea, so he bought two bottles.
Lin Yuan looked at the two teams that were playing on the basketball court, thinking in his heart why Bai Qi hadn't come yet. At this time, Bai Qi rushed to the court with his panting body and saw the class team wearing black and white jerseys. Lin Yuan pointed to the seat he had left for Bai Qi, and Bai Qi glanced at it and walked there silently. "It's class 12 vs. class 9, so please prepare for each of the two teams." After the last two classes were finished, the referee blew the whistle and said. Lin Yuan walked up to Bai Qi, Bai Qi was stunned and hurriedly delivered the green tea in his backpack to Lin Yuan. Bai Qi's move made the other girls on the side laugh, "I didn't expect to send a drink and green tea." One of the girls whispered. Although the voice was very small, Lin Yuan and Bai Qi could hear it very clearly. Bai Qi's face turned red all of a sudden, and Lin Hong said calmly: "It's nothing, I'll go warm up first after taking it." "Brother Yuan, hurry up, it's time to start." As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, Liu Wei's voice came from the court. Lin Yuan put down the green tea and then turned around and ran towards the court. Bai Qi looked up at him, what she didn't expect was that Lin Yuan's back would give her a strong sense of security. Is he or Lin Yuan? Bai Qi asked in his heart.
The basketball game soon came to an end, and Bai Qi's class was also nominated for the gold list with an excellent result of third place. The basketball game was followed by a singing competition on October 20......
With the cool autumn breeze, Lin Yuan was full of confidence, and he believed that he would definitely be able to surprise Bai Qi. Lin Yuan, who returned home on Wednesday, saw his mother packing her things. "My son came over to help, and we have to move on Saturday." Lin Yuan's mother said without raising her head. Lin Shen sighed helplessly and began to help his mother clean up the sundries.
Returning to the room in the evening, Lin Yuan looked at the date. Thursday night was game time, but he was leaving on Saturday. He got up and went to his desk, turned on the lamp, and pulled out a piece of stationery.
Bai Qi, when you saw this piece of paper, I may have moved away, and I am glad to meet you during this time......
Lin Yuanshu's hands trembled when he saw the last sentence, he wanted to write those three words, but he didn't have the courage to confess, he was also afraid of affecting the learning of the two, but he was even more afraid of estrangement in the future and no chance in the future. He wanted to say it but couldn't, Lin Yuan thought for a long time before writing those three words on the bottom with a ballpoint pen. He read the note before putting it away.
Lin Yuan walked to the window, he looked at Shanghai at night, at this time the lights outside were bright and lively, but it didn't belong to him after all. He felt a little tired, so he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
On Thursday night, the campus was full of excitement, and Lin Yuan put on his performance costume early and stood on the teaching building watching the moving crowd. "Ready?" Bai Qi's voice came from behind him, Lin Yuan turned around and smiled at Bai Qi and said, "I've been ready for a long time, you are ready to see my performance!" Bai Qi grimaced and said, "Wait for your performance, don't let me down, go and occupy a seat first." With that, she ran down the school building. Seeing Bai Qi join the crowd. Lin Yuan shouted at Bai Qi who was far away: "After the game is over tonight, wait for me!" Bai Qi slowed down, glanced up at him, turned around and continued to move forward. Lin Yuan looked at the time, six forty-five. Looks like it's time for me to go to the venue too. Lin Yuan put on his guitar and said to his teammates in the classroom, "You can go to the venue." "Okay, wait a minute." Liu Wei stood up and walked out of the classroom with his dress. Others are gearing up.
The indoor venue of the school was already full at this time, except for the senior year who was going to take the college entrance examination, the students on the campus had already arrived. Lin Yuan and others also came to the preparation room behind the stage of the venue. At this time, the students only heard the loud voice of the host announce the start of the game. "Now please enjoy the first contestant, she sang the song "Light Chaser", everyone applauds!" The audience instantly erupted in fierce applause.
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it was Lin Yuan's group.
"Now please enjoy the eleventh program "September Rain" brought to us by the students of Class 12, and the contestants are invited to the stage with applause." The host announced the next show, and Bai Qi sat in his seat and watched Lin Yuan and the others being hugged by the spotlight and walking to the center of the stage. Lin Yuan took the guitar, Liu Wei also sat in front of the electronic keyboard, and the trumpeter and drummer were also in place. Lin Yuan stood in front of the microphone and solemnly announced: "Hello everyone! Tonight's song "September Rain" is dedicated to you. Suddenly, there was thunderous applause from the audience, Lin Yuan paused, looked around at Hui Zhou, and finally looked in the direction of Bai Qi and said, "Also dedicated to an important person." After saying that, Lin Yuan signaled and began to perform.
Liu Wei raised his hands and played the prelude slowly on the piano. Lin Yuan waited until the treble fluctuated and turned on plucking the guitar strings. Bai Qi was a little excited, although she didn't know why. She felt a strange sense of familiarity as she listened to the prelude. She involuntarily picked up the stone hanging from her neck. The stone with the runes was glowing faintly at this time. "Mountains and seas of the autumn moon......" As soon as Lin Yuan opened his mouth, the audience immediately burst into warm applause. The sound of music and lyrics instantly pierced Bai Qi's heart. In a moment, she thought back to all the experiences she had had when she was twelve, when the salt lake was still a salt well, and the song she had prepared for her father was practiced over and over again.
Thinking back to the night when I was washed into the mine with the current, I thought about the stone I wore around my neck a second before I closed my eyes, and I thought about the whole process of floating from the salt lake to the surface. She couldn't accept what she had been through. She never thought that the scene that often appeared in her memory was actually the life-and-death parting she had personally experienced. Bai Qi looked at the stone in his hand emitting an unprecedented light, and he held the stone tightly with tears to keep himself from crying. As Lin Yuan finished singing, the audience erupted in warm applause. After the performance, Lin Yuan went down to the audience but did not find Bai Qi. He asked the female classmate next to him, but the lesbian student told him that Bai Qi said that he would not serve and left early. Lin Yuan reached out and touched the paper letter in his pocket and left the venue.
Lin Yuan came to the door of the auditorium only to find that it was raining heavily outside at this time. How can it rain, doesn't the weather forecast today say sunny? Lin Yuan felt very strange. He reached out and took a few drops of rain and held them in the palm of his hand. Watch the rain hit the concrete floor little by little. The lights of the campus dance in the reflection of the standing water. Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and only then did he feel that there seemed to be something in his palm, so he opened his fist only to find that there were several small crystals in his palm. Salt? Lin Yuan instantly thought of the "salt rain" at the beginning of school. What's going on here? He still didn't know. Lin Yuan waited for a while, and the rain gradually subsided, and it stopped after a while. Lin Yuan walked to the school road, and saw that the sky that was still dark just now had become clear at this time, and the lights of the city were no longer blocked. Lin Yuan returned to the classroom and took a brief rest. How could she be unwell? Lin Yuan couldn't figure out why Bai Qi left at this time, but after thinking about it, it was normal for her to leave uncomfortably. took out the paper letter and looked at it, then turned to look at Bai Qi's seat again. The schoolbag on Bai Qi's seat was gone, and it was obvious that she had gone home.
When Lin Yuan didn't participate in the singing competition after school, he didn't even care about the ranking, and after simply ordering Liu Wei and the others, he quickly walked out of the school gate and went home directly. After seeing Lin Yuan return home, Lin Yuan's mother said: "My son will pack up your books at school tomorrow, and he will move the morning after tomorrow, and your father has already helped you complete the transfer procedures." Lin Yuan didn't respond, and his mother went straight back into his bedroom. got the mobile phone, Lin Yuan sent a message to Bai Qi, "Are you there?" I heard that you are not feeling well, how are you doing now? But after waiting for a long time, he didn't receive any message from Bai Qi.
Lin Yuan didn't sleep well that night. In the morning, he got up and looked at his phone, but Bai Qi still didn't reply to him.
Lin Yuan had no choice but to put on his schoolbag, simply eat something, and then go out to the school.
