Chapter Twenty-Six: The Storm Rises
The double festival is coming lively. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Watching a well-prepared theatrical program, and then running back to their nest to sleep or play for a few days like birds and beasts, this is the program feast that students have been looking forward to for a long time. The feast arrived on the last afternoon before the festival.
The 5,000-person venue was packed, and the phalanx formed by students, students' parents, teachers, leading cadres, and people from all walks of life rushed in and seized every corner. Melon seeds and candies were distributed over and over again, greetings and jokes surged in waves, and the leader's opening speech could not be suppressed, until the five-color curtain opened, the song and dance began, and the restless scene gradually entered a controllable joyful rhythm.
Su Yu sat alone in a corner of the backstage, deaf to the sound of music and singing coming from the front desk, and concentrated on playing a game of picking sunflower seeds. He grabbed a handful of white sunflower seeds and mixed them together, then picked them out one by one, mixed them again, picked them again, picked them again, and picked them again, and so on. This game doesn't need to use your brain, but it can also ease the tension, although it is boring, Su Yu has a lot of fun.
A group of students preparing for the performance were also very happy to watch, they looked at Su Yu with foolish eyes, exchanged heads for a while, and then laughed for a while, and they didn't know what to say, and several girls who were preparing to dance chased after each other. Su Yu only thought that they didn't exist, and still quietly picked his sunflower seeds, and a girl came over with the encouragement of her companion's eyes, bent down and asked softly: "Hey, they all said that you have a sick brain, are you really sick in the brain?"
Su Yu picked up a sunflower seed in his hand and replied without raising his head: "Yes." ”
The girls laughed again. Su Yu didn't understand why they were laughing, and he also didn't understand why the laughter suddenly stopped at the next moment, and everything around became quiet in an instant, and the female solo at the front desk was especially clear to the ear. He picked up the last white sunflower seed from the black sunflower seed, and reached out to grab the pile of white sunflower seeds, ready to mix them together again, but saw a slender arm as white as jade reach out in front of him, and grab the pile of sunflower seeds. Su Yu was stunned for a moment, and the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and his eyes followed the beautiful hand to a girl's body, swept over the white lotus skirt decorated with red, yellow, blue and green flowers on her chest, and swept over her pink and delicate shoulders and dense low-hanging hair, and saw a face that was suffocatingly beautiful.
Su Yu recognized this face, along with the dark jade eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth. He just didn't expect her to be so beautiful, just like the best P-picture master has done the most perfect retouching, so that the same face shows a completely different brilliance, so that the charm is renewed. Of course, the girl in front of her is very real, and she can't see the slightest trace of makeup, maybe she has been deliberately hiding her brilliance before, and only then did she show her true charm.
This beauty far beyond the ordinary made Su Yu stunned for a moment, and for some reason a strong sense of déjà vu rose in his heart, and the feeling of wanting to say something to her was extremely urgent for a while, and it was easy to suppress it. He didn't expect the other party to appear here and now, and couldn't help but shout: "Xu ......"
Xu Qingluo blinked and motioned for him not to call out his name. She put a sunflower seed between her lips, gently snorted it, and asked casually, "Are you going to go on stage, aren't you ready at all?"
"Nothing to prepare. Su Yu replied. He wanted to say, "I have something very important to tell you", but he couldn't remember what it was, so he couldn't talk about it, and he couldn't just say "I forgot" when the other party asked.
"Then don't go on stage," Xu Qingluo said jokingly with a smile in her eyebrows, "You will definitely smash up like this." ”
"It's okay, I've practiced many times, and I'm not nervous. Su Yu smiled indifferently and persuaded the other party to dispel his doubts.
"Really, then you have to act?" Xu Qingluo asked again, "But how boring it is here, why don't I take you to a fun place, how about we stop acting?"
Su Yu heard it in a fog, looked at her and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Well, really!" Xu Qingluo was still smiling, and she couldn't tell that she was very serious.
Su Yu also smiled: "That's not good, it doesn't matter if I smash the performance, but if I run this party, I will smash it." Besides, rehearsing so hard these days, I can't stand my partner. ”
At this moment, the female solo at the front desk ended, and was replaced by a boy's magic show. Zhang Yao walked out of the passage between the front and back desks and greeted Su Yu: "The next one is us, get ready to play." As soon as the words came out, she saw Xu Qingluo, who was sitting opposite Su Yu, and recognized the identity of the other party at a glance, and couldn't help but be shocked. Xu Qingluo also turned to look at her when she heard the sound, her eyes were facing each other, Zhang Yao was as cold as ever, and Xu Qingluo smiled sweetly at the other party while sipping on sunflower seeds casually.
In this small backstage dressing room, all eyes are focused on the two girls. Before Xu Qingluo appeared, this place had always been Zhang Yao's home field, she didn't need to do anything, as long as she stood there lightly, she could suppress a group of arrogant and conceited literary men and women. But now, her momentum has been faintly suppressed in a flash.
Neither of the two showed the slightest hostility, but the equally compelling beauty collided together, and it was like a silent duel in the eyes of everyone.
The room was silent, and Xu Qingluo seemed to be a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere, squinted her eyes and raised her arms, and greeted inexplicably: "Hello everyone!"
"Okay!" ”...... The boys and girls all opened their mouths to respond, but they all wondered, "Who is this? Where did she come from? Who knows her?"
Su Yu also felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he remembered that Xu Qingluo had said that she was not a student of this school, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "By the way, why did you come here?"
Xu Qingluo swallowed the sunflower seeds and replied vaguely: "What's that, the performance!"
"You also have a show?"
"Yes, it wasn't, but now it is. ”
Su Yu was a little puzzled. But thinking that Teacher Chu can force himself over to perform a stage play, it is hard to guarantee that he will not see Xu Qingluo hanging out and give her a show temporarily, and he may not even ask if she is a student here. But Xu Qingluo obviously said that she was leaving, could it be that she was bored and came back to play? Su Yu didn't have time to ask so much, and she didn't have the brainpower to think so much, so she said, "I'll go and prepare first, and I'll see you when I come back" and quickly got up and walked towards the passage with Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao glanced at Xu Qingluo for the last time, and slowly turned around. She didn't know what Xu Qingluo wanted to do, she was an elusive girl, her identity was unknown, her cultivation was unknown, and her mind was unknown, but since she appeared, it was better than not appearing all the time.
Su Yu didn't think about anything at this time, he just emptied his brain and tried his best to maintain the best state for the performance, but when he was about to enter the passage, he suddenly heard Xu Qingluo shouting from behind: "Su Xiaoyu!"
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, knowing that this title could only be called himself, so he hurriedly stopped and turned around, but saw Xu Qingluo get up and leave her seat, tilted her head slightly, tapped the position of her temple with a finger, and asked seriously: "You here, don't it hurt?"
This is the first time in these days that someone has asked Su Yu if it hurts, and the first time that someone really cares about his head, but his heart-rending pain in the past has led to ridicule and cold eyes from others. Su Yu was a little moved, but also a little surprised, I don't know how Xu Qingluo knew that his head was sick, he looked at her fixedly for a while, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's okay." ”
Then he turned and walked into the hallway.
The applause from the audience crossed the stage and reached the ears of the backstage actors. Another show is over, which means that after the host announces the curtain, a new show will appear on the stage. Zhang Yao, who was already the host, glanced back at Su Yu, and went to the front of the stage with the male host. The next program is the stage play "Green Rainy Season", according to the arrangement of the script, Zhang Yao will play the piano and appear in advance, so he did not get off the stage after the curtain was announced, but sat directly in front of the piano that had already been moved to the stage, as the curtain slowly opened, the graceful and elegant figure appeared in front of the audience, and the ten fingers rose and fell freely on the black and white keys, playing a lyrical melody like moonlight flowing water.
This is the equivalent of a short piano recess interlude. Zhang Yao wore a white dress, spotless from top to bottom, with a dignified posture and a quiet temperament, flying rhythm and smooth skills, and won a warm applause as soon as she appeared. In the front row of the audience, the school leaders and bureau leaders also applauded and applauded, and Teacher Chu, who accompanied the leaders to watch the show, couldn't help but smile.
Then, the sound of the piano gradually became lower and slower, until it became the sound of a small stream like the whispering of mountains and forests, and the spotlight quietly turned to the other side, illuminating the rebellious boy who had just appeared on the scene.
Su Yu appeared in a roar of scolding and mockery. These are all recordings, from parents, teachers, and classmates, all kinds of different voices converge into a torrent, bringing out a teenager's embarrassment vividly. There are only two people in the whole play, Su Yu and Zhang Yao, and Zhang Yao is just an ethereal background most of the time, Su Yu has to show a lot of complex situations alone, but his performance is surprisingly natural and simple, just according to his usual performance, one expression after another, one action after another.
He played this misunderstood rebellious teenager, and also touched the hearts of many parents, and the leaders also watched it with taste, and Mr. Chu nodded frequently. However, there was an irrepressible noise in the hall, and from a corner there appeared a whisper of discussion, and then this discussion ignited more and more people, causing small shocks and riots.
At the location of the sixth class of the second year of high school, the head teacher, Mr. Wang, did not say a word with a hanging face, and the faces of several teachers behind him were not good-looking, occasionally whispering a few words, and some students were also talking to each other.
In another corner, the aunt who came to see the show wanted to leave several times but was stopped by Zhu Yuzhe, and it was really a shameless thing to leave halfway. My aunt had to sit down again with a cold face, leaned on the chair and closed her eyes to recuperate, and no longer looked at Su Yu in the stand.
The show itself has a good educational significance, and it is intended to tell everyone that every growing child needs to be understood and cared for. However, Su Yu playing such a role is a great irony for them, and the scolding of those parents, the harsh criticism of teachers and the ridicule of classmates are simply a vivid portrayal of reality. Everyone is thinking, what is the purpose of letting Su Yu perform this show, and does the teacher who arranged the show know the real situation of Su Yu?
But they are all suppressing, and they don't want to cause trouble in vain. After all, the school leaders and the bureau leaders are all here, and if they want to maintain order and decency, how can they make trouble about their own class and their own children's affairs for others to make fun of? Although they are very angry and very suspicious of the intentions behind the show, they can only talk about it afterwards.
The real commotion began with a whistle from an unknown corner, so sudden and loud that it drew the attention of most people from the stage to the audience, and people saw a fluorescent placard erected in the back row. Placards are very popular now, and there have been students who have raised signs to support their classmates in performing in the past, but this placard is written with an inexplicable question:
"Su Yu, who has a headache when he reads a book, how do you read the script?"
The whole venue became chaotic in an instant.
