Chapter 30: Parents, Topic

Lu You stood alone on the stage, and the piano prelude sounded. Compared with "Mei Xiangru", who understands the feelings of the characters in the play, "As Wished" is more like his own story.

When he heard about Meng Yi's family situation a few days ago, he could empathize. But Meng Yi's perception of his parents is completely different.

In his previous life, Lu You's parents, after he went to elementary school, became very busy, and they were only busy in the world of making breakfast for themselves, and they all asked others to pick up and drop off each other. Even if they are at home, they are working in the study.

In the third grade, Lu You showed a strong interest in mathematics and a strong talent. His parents were very surprised and delighted, so he was able to enter the study and study with them.

His parents would often tell him, "Study hard and serve the motherland." At that time, the school would generally say how good and good foreign countries are, Lu You didn't understand why he wanted to serve the motherland, and asked them if it was not good to go abroad directly?

The parents responded kindly, "There are bad things in the motherland, what we should do is to do our best to make her better, instead of complaining or even running away." You'll find out later. ”

Lu You nodded as if he didn't understand.

At the age of 14, his body began to develop, and Lu You was already able to take care of himself independently, so his parents let him participate in the competition, and they themselves moved out of the house and rarely came back.

When I was in junior high school, I entered a university full of adults, everyone was a head taller than me, and Lu You had a generation gap with others, so there was nothing to say. It's basically immersed in the world of mathematics.

During his two-year college career, Lu You studied with a professor friend of his parents in college, and the family never got together once. He could only learn about his parents from the professor. What scientific research has progressed, where have problems arisen, and so on.

At the age of sixteen, when others were in high school, Lu You was already a graduate student of that professor. His thoughts have been extreme, the rebellious period has arrived, and his ass has begun to have a tendency to sit crookedly, resenting why his parents are not by his side, and giving up on himself. The professor saw the signs and showed him a few photos of his parents at work.

"The family and the country are in a dilemma. It's not that they don't want to be around you, it's just that they love everyone they are with more. ”

Lu You cried loudly: "So I was the one who was abandoned? In that case, why was I born in the first place! ”

The professor sighed, "Your parents said that you can resent them, but they hope that you can't give up on yourself and your country. ”

Lu You didn't speak again, but was more immersed in his own world. My math skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and I take very good care of myself. He wouldn't say that he would give up on himself because he hated his parents, that would be stupid. Only by living a better life and becoming better can they reduce the impact of their lack on themselves.

At the age of eighteen, Lu You became an adult, obtained a master's degree, and also received invitations from famous foreign universities to study for a doctorate. His parents came home at this time, and life became idle all of a sudden. The parents didn't have anything else to care about, just one sentence, "Remember to come back after graduation." He walked away without looking back.

In a few years abroad, Lu You really thought about not going back, but he always subconsciously wanted to understand the domestic information. When he was a child, he slowly understood the words of his parents. Even though he has many shortcomings, he is also a member of his own country. So a few years after receiving his PhD, he went back.

After returning to China, his parents devoted themselves to the cause of the country again, and he also worked as a domestic university teacher while doing research to improve himself, slowly approaching his parents' field and gradually reconciling with them.

In his nearly thirty years of life, he may have been chasing his parents, but he didn't realize it, or he didn't want to admit it.

Lu You's daunting spirit was only on the stage for a moment. Reminiscing about his previous life, he slowly spoke to the rhythm of the music.

You are the way away

Lights in the fog of the mountains

I'm a child

Walk in your eyes.

……

Lu You did not deliberately imitate Faye Wong's singing, her voice is unmatched in the world. I didn't deliberately use too many skills, but just contained my own memories.

And I will love the world you love

May you smile as you wish

Tang Wan's whole body was a little numb, and an unknown emotion poured out of her heart. She kind of wanted to hug the singing teenager on stage.

……

And I will dream of the reunion you dreamed of

May your wishes be forever

Take the long road you have taken

I love you like that

At this moment, Lu You's heart was completely relieved, he was chasing his parents in his previous life, maybe there were some twists and turns, but in the end he still walked on the road close to them.

I will also see the world you have not seen

Write the psalms you didn't write

The moon on the horizon is the thought in my heart

You are always by my side

Meet you for a lifetime of clarity

Such as your youthful face

At the end of the song, Lu You looked into the distance. His current parents are no longer the couple who have dedicated their lives to the country, but what he has learned and thought has not changed, and he will exert his light and heat in this new and extremely similar place.

After the song was over, the applause was thunderous, and Lu You bowed and stepped off the stage. When passing by the audience, Shao Ling wanted to say something, but was directly ignored.

Lu You found Instructor Liu and said, "Instructor, I want to go to the toilet." ”

Instructor Liu looked at him and felt that his mood was a little different, but he didn't ask much, nodded and said, "Go ahead, come back before the team." ”

After Lu You got permission, he bought a bottle of mineral water from the commissary, and didn't unscrew it to drink, so he took it like this. Sit down on the stone bench next to you and look up at the night sky. He has a lot of complicated emotions in his heart now, and he needs a quiet environment to clear it.

The other side.

Tang Wan watched Lu You walk off the stage, and then ten minutes passed, the show had passed, and the seats in front were still empty.

Xu Nian saw her absent-mindedness, so he said, "Wanwan, help me buy a bottle of water." ”

"Well, I'll go now." Tang Wan got up and walked out of the team.

She looked around the training ground, but didn't see anyone, so she had to go to the commissary to buy water first.

As soon as she walked to the commissary, Tang Wan found the figure, and she was looking up at the sky in a daze.

Lu You's inner mood slowly stabilized, and as soon as he came back to his senses, there was an extra person beside him, with a faint fragrance.

"What are you doing here? Looking at the stars? Tang Wan imitated the way he looked just now and looked up at the night sky. Unfortunately, the clouds were so thick that it was pitch black.

"There are no stars tonight." Lu You looked at Tang Wan's side face and sighed in his heart: flawless.

"You have been looking at the stars for so long?" Tang Wan also turned her head, and the two looked at each other.

Lu You's eyes reflected Tang Wan's figure, and there was a warm glow shining.

"I'm thinking about the past, another past."

Tang Wan was a little fascinated and asked in a daze, "What past?" ”

"A past that doesn't exist." After speaking, Lu You put the mineral water in his hand into her hand, "Come back to your senses, if you look at me like this, I will think more." ”

Tang Wan was startled, turned around, and unconsciously grabbed the mineral water in her hand.

"No...... I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape. Her voice trembled slightly.

"It's okay, are you in a hurry to go back?"

Tang Wan pinched the water bottle, adjusted her mood, and then responded: "You can be in a hurry, or you may not be in a hurry." ”

"Then sit here and stay with me."

"Need something to talk about?"

"No, you don't." It's good to have you around.

In the latter sentence, Lu You did not say it.

……

It wasn't until near the end of the last show that the two returned to their seats together. The surrounding girls saw Tang Wan go out by herself, but the two came back together, and after such a long time, their eyes changed.

Li Yu saw him sit in his seat and asked, "Where did you go?" The people around him pricked up their ears at the same time.

"Commissary."

"What did you do?"

"Buy water and look at the stars."

"Where's the water?"

"I'm done."

"What about the stars?"

"The clouds are too thick to see."

Li Yu was speechless, "I can't see it and I haven't come back for so long?" ”

"Then it's up to the clouds."

"It's pitch black at night, what can you see?"

"I can't see anything clearly."

"Then why did you come back so late?"

"I don't know, but when I came back to my senses, I realized that it was almost over."

Lu You's tone was calm throughout the whole process, without a trace of waves.

"Okay. By the way, what's that name just now, it's Sao 0, right? ”

Lu You was silent for a moment, "It's Shao Ling." ”

"Oh oh oh, yes, it's him. The singing is okay, but it's not as handsome as you, and it's not as good as your singing. ”

"Really?"

……

The girls were a little disappointed, thinking they could hear some gossip, but there was nothing. He could only turn his gaze to Tang Wan. Hopefully there's something to be done.

Tang Wan is not as old as Lu You, and she can't hide her emotions well on her face. Now with a faint smile, the whole person is shining.

There is a case!

The girls glanced at each other and decided the topic of the dormitory tonight.

Seeing that Tang Wan was still silly happy, Xu Nian could only give her a silent mourning in his heart.

Poor Wanwan, I can only grieve you tonight.

……

The party ended successfully.

Lu You and a few roommates returned to the dormitory with a few large bottles of drinks and a few bags of snacks in their hands.

As soon as they entered, several topless boys cheered.

"Wuhu! Sleepless tonight! ”

"Open the silver party!"

On the last night of tonight, the instructors are not unbelievable, although they will turn off the lights on time, but the management is greatly relaxed. Instructor Liu told them that as long as they don't be too presumptuous, no one will take care of them.

Lu You smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's start when everyone is done." Then put everything under Meng Yi's bed.

A boy came over and asked curiously and excitedly, "What did you buy, squad leader?" ”

"You have bought everything you want to eat, what melon seeds, peanuts, Weilong, infinite."

After a while, a dormitory gathered in front of the window, some people sat on the beds, and a few moved out of the benches to sit. It's a good location, and when the lights go out, the light from the outside headlights can still support them to continue playing.

Lu You handed out a disposable plastic cup to everyone and said, "Orange juice, Coke, Sprite, Wang Laoji are all available, pour whatever you need yourself." After speaking, I poured myself a cup of Wang Laoji.

The conversation quickly opened, and each of them talked about the interesting things they had encountered, or complained about certain behaviors. Lu You basically drank on the side, gnawed on the duck's neck, and listened quietly. His own past is quite boring, just be a listener.

"I liked that girl in my third year of junior high school, and then I asked her to go to a comic convention, and I didn't have much contact." A boy said wistfully.

The other boy laughed at him directly, "Yes! How can anyone be stupid enough to ask someone to go to a comic con? This place has no hobbies to go to prison. ”

"You're right, I also feel like a fool now. If only I had asked her to go to the movies. The boy just poured a glass of soda and then filled himself with it.

Meng Yi seemed to have an idea, and when no one spoke, he asked, "Eh, at the same table." If it were you, where would you ask the girls to play? ”
