Chapter 12

The High School Affiliated to Normal University has always had the tradition of holding a New Year's song party. At the New Year's Song Concert at the end of 2004, the song played by Class 8 ([-]) was Edelweiss, and Zhou Si was in charge of the violin accompaniment.

"Zhou Si, you are very capable, tell me, where did you get the invitation card for our New Year's song party family area." Cao Ning took a deep puff of the hookah, and puffed out a few smoke rings in enjoyment.

"Everyone depends on their ability." Zhou Si flicked the bronzing invitation card in his hand.

Cao Ning sneered, "Your parents can't be seen, and you still have to watch the school's performance? Oh, this time, the leaders of the attached high school don't have to spread the red carpet to welcome them."

Zhou Si picked up another pipe, smoked casually, and slowly said, "It's none of their business."

Cao Ning filled a small glass with tequila, licked the salt grains on the back of his hand, took a sip of the wine, and said, "I can't think of any family member of yours who has such leisure and elegance, let alone your family member." Father."

Zhou Si stared at the blue liquid in the glass, turned the glass around, his eyes were a little distracted, and he didn't speak.

Cao Ning filled up the wine for Zhou Si, with an awe-inspiring look: "Which family member can get Mr. Zhou to hand over the invitation in person?"

Zhou Si kicked over: "You poor, you just met when you were young and went to the countryside to send warmth. I think people are very nice and pure. These days, true friends are hard to find."

Cao Ning smiled: "Mr. Zhou has a sincere friend. This is not small. Give me a recommendation. Brother, I will break it for you."

Zhou Si sprayed his face with a puff of smoke: "Damn it. He's not your fast-talking drinking and meat friend. He can hold shit in the palm of your hand when you face him, and he will call you grandson when you turn around."

Cao Ning laughed so hard that he couldn't stand upright: "The ones from the north are good at talking about cross talk, and they are really slippery."

Zhou Si put out the cigarette butt, and said, "It's not like you southerners, you hide your thoughts so deeply, it's hypocritical."

"Hey, who's the one who doesn't have eyes and is throwing face? It's terrible, I dare to vent my anger on you." Cao Ning laughed.

Zhou Si took a sip of his wine and said, "Why don't you hurry up and make an invitation card to pay for it? It's weird, I didn't do anything tm, why did I suddenly ignore people?"

Cao Ning thought to himself why this young girl is so weird like a girl.He took away the wine glass from Zhou Si's hand, and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm so fucking drunk. Fa Xiao has a long life ahead, let's put Fa Xiao aside for now, this bar girl is on time, let's have fun together." As he spoke he whistled at a blonde girl on the dance floor.

Zhou Si picked up an empty glass and poured wine: "Go and play by yourself, the girls here are boring, it hurts my brain."

Cao Ning knew that Zhou Si was thrown by his father into the army of his uncle to grind his temper when he was a child. He got up to practice with the big brothers in the army at four o'clock in the winter. have fun.

Zhou Si himself has never had any desire for women. When he just returned to N City, Cao Ning got a good movie, and dragged Zhou Si to watch it together. When he was finished, Zhou Si moved his fingers symbolically, Feeling very depressed.Cao Ning vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

The blond girl twisted her waist slightly and hooked her hands towards Cao Ning. Cao Ning hurriedly said: "Then drink well, don't lose yourself, and charge it to my account. I have invited you for this drink." Then he left the card with great strides. seat.

Yuan Xuwei likes to giggle more and more recently. He lowers his head and smiles at Ah Shuan, smiles at "Henry and Lucy" in the English book, raises his head and smiles at Kong Tai, smiles at Zhang Shu, turns his head and smiles at the sparrow on the telephone pole, Smiling at the planes flying across the sky, the smile is full of spring.He often writes a series of numbers in the blue exercise book distributed by the school, with a smile on his mouth and crooked eyes, and he never tires of it.

"Who is Lucy?" Seeing Yuan Xuwei writing that string of mysterious numbers again, Ye Ran asked abruptly.

Yuan Xuwei was taken aback, and hurriedly closed the book—it was useless to close it, even the cover was filled with the string of numbers.Ye Ran pointed to the cover: "This is not an ID number either."

Yuan Xuwei scratched his messy hair, his eyeballs rolled around, and said in a panic, "How do you know her name is Lucy?"

"Hey, I ticked off the key points of the exam for you yesterday. Lucy in the English book has drawn red hearts, and even a fool can guess it."

"Ah Ran, I'm just talking to you." Yuan Xuwei lowered his voice, "A while ago I accompanied my grandma to the hospital to see her legs, but I couldn't get a number when I went there late, and my grandma's legs hurt so much, I asked people everywhere to buy a number. Just gave me the number, and it’s not in a hurry, let grandma look at the legs first.”

"I was walking home from Hankou Road one night last week. I passed a dark alley and saw a group of gangsters blocking me. I didn't intend to care about it. Hey, look at my body, what's the matter? It's not my turn to act for the heavens, right?"

"I heard that voice familiar, as if I heard it somewhere. I had a flash of inspiration, hey, the little girl who was blocked by the hospital was her daughter. She was still smiling at me in the hospital, laughing. It sounds sweet, much sweeter than Cai Yutong in our class."

"Then you are a hero to save the beauty?"

"How can you think so much? When your brain gets hot, you rush up. Those little gangsters are also smug and useless. When they saw me rushing up, they all ran away!"

"I sent the little beauty to the door of the house. She was trembling with fright at that moment. Oh, it's so pitiful."

Ye Ran knew in his heart that this was Lucy.

Yuan Xuwei clasped his hands in the shape of a heart: "I don't know what's going on with my heart recently. When I think of her, it jumps violently. I don't bother to write my homework, so I just want to go to the Middle School Attached to Normal University to find her every day. Needless to say, I am satisfied when I see her smile."

Ye Ran was amazed, and said: "Spring hasn't come yet, so you want to. Your Lucy is from the High School Attached to Normal University?"

Yuan Xuwei nodded: "If this happens, I won't be in a long-distance relationship." After speaking, he lay down on the desk in frustration: "There is no play, there must be a lot of people chasing her."

Ye Ran suddenly remembered the invitation card for the welcome song party of the High School Affiliated to Normal University that Zhou Si had stuffed into him the day before yesterday.He found the invitation card in his schoolbag, put it on Yuan Xuwei's desk, and asked, "I have an invitation card for the welcome song meeting of the High School Affiliated to Zhang Normal University, do you want it?"

Yuan Xuwei yelled "Aww", he regained his energy in an instant, touched the invitation again and again, and said, "Yes, yes! Oh, I'll go. It's indeed a professional-level performance. This invitation is so beautifully printed."

After touching it, Fang Fang remembered and asked Ye Ran: "This ticket is hard to get, are you really willing to give it to me?"

Ye Ran said: "I'm not willing."

"Hey, the invitation sent out was splashed with water. I will keep the ticket first, and you are the number one contributor to chasing her."

"Zhou Si, drink some water. Look at you, you haven't had a few sips of water since early in the morning." Tan Li, who leads the music class of the third (8) class, is very concerned about Zhou Si, who is the accompanist for the class. She knows that Zhou Si once studied under Huadong. Fei Lao is quite famous in the district.At the beginning Zhou Si went to study in the countryside with his father from the grassroots, and had to give up the study of the violin. Fei Lao was extremely angry and disappointed, and since then declined the Zhou family's visit.Despite this, he often sighs with his juniors, thinking about this talented young apprentice who is more persistent than his peers.

Teachers and students were sitting or standing in the waiting area, and the crowd burst into laughter from time to time.Zhou Si leaned lazily in the corner alone, facing the music score spread out on the music stand, vibrating and changing the strings as if no one was there, stopping to turn over the score from time to time, and when some classmates came to chat with him, he would raise his head and make a sound.

"This group of songs is not difficult. With your level, there is no problem. I see that you have been practicing and don't communicate with your classmates. Are you nervous?" Tan Li approached Zhou Si and said, "Don't be nervous, you are here For the children who have performed with Fei Lao at the Zijin Grand Theater, school songs are nothing, right?"

Tan Li saw through Zhou Si's tense heartstrings. He looked at his toes in embarrassment, and said, "It's not stage fright either. Although I haven't grown old with Fei, I can play the violin if I have nothing to do, and my hands are not too rough. I still remember the fingering."

He bent down and took out the rosin from his bag, and said with a smile: "Today, I have a friend who came to see the show. It's been a long time since I saw him, but I'm a little nervous. It's probably because of my closeness to my hometown.

Tan Liming understood, exaggeratedly acting as if she had suddenly realized, and teased: "So it's an old friend. Which school, it must be very beautiful."

"Don't make fun of me."

Zhou Si smeared rosin on the bow, and it became softer and softer.He thought of Ye Ran, when he was angry, he stared at him viciously, with round almond eyes, and raised his head to reveal a graceful and sharp jaw line.Ye Ran doesn't like wearing turtleneck sweaters, and Zhou Si can't help but peep down Ye Ran's swan-like white neck—there seems to be a strange magic power underneath.

Ye Ran greeted Du Ying, said that he had invited a classmate to play basketball, and went out of the house to take a bus to Gulou Theater. City N is a typical southern city. Although the temperature in winter is not as exaggerated as that in the north where it is often below minus ten degrees, the temperature feels low, and the cold and biting north wind is like a gust of wind.People on the street wrapped their scarves and down jackets in a hurry, just wanting to hurry and avoid the raging north wind.

As soon as Christmas is over, the businesses that are busy with Christmas start to make arrangements for the New Year again.All the supermarkets put up SALE stands one after another, "losing money" big sale.There are small light bulbs wrapped around the green belt on the roadside, just waiting to embellish the night.Ye Ran, who was waiting for the green light, took a cram school flyer from a young man with a college appearance. He looked left and right at the intersection, and simply ran through the long red light and ran to the Gulou Theater across the long street.

Without an invitation card, Ye Ran and a group of uncles and aunts who lived nearby came to join in the fun and squeezed at the door of the safe passage.The students on the stage in the theater were singing "Our Hometown, On the Field of Hope" in harmony. The shoulder pads of the teacher in charge of the Chinese tunic shrugged with his waving arms. His back was full of passion, and the students sang with more dedication. .Both the performers and the audience were infected by this vibrant old song, as if they were in a vast and boundless field.People's faces are full of joy and longing, and all the unbearable and bitterness given to the workers and builders disappears when singing this song. Everyone is looking forward to a better tomorrow than today—a better tomorrow.

The running villain on the safe passage sign is shining with green light, and the host who announces the scene on the stage looks like a student, holding a small inscription board, and reads in an unprofessional and somewhat weird voice: " Next, I would like to invite Class 8 ([-]) of junior high school to bring a set of The Sound of Music Suite, accompanied by the Echo Orchestra."

There was a small climax in the audience.

"Well, it's coming. I heard that Zhou Si is the principal violinist invited by Echo this time. My God, my heart is about to jump out."

"Zhou—si—, Zhou—si—, ouch, pinch me, Echo is so brave that I have been a brainless fan for so many years, and he invited Zhou Si!"

Although the grandpas and aunts who joined in the fun didn't understand the situation, they were also infected by the small climax in the arena, and crowded into the arena excitedly. Even though there were seven or eight rows of seats away from the stage, they still stretched their necks to have a look at the chief violinist .Ye Ran gasped for breath, supported the door frame, and tried hard to protect a small space. The security guard with a thick face next to him shouted: "Hey, pay attention, what kind of crowd is crowded, alas - I don't know what a group of middle school students and bastards are looking at." head."

Yes, what is there to see.Ye Ran asked himself suspiciously.There were thousands of spectators cheering for Zhou Si in the audience, and the noise was turbulent. Without Ye Ran clapping his hands and applauding, it was actually nothing.In this lively feast, the whole place was covered with a red carpet for Zhou Si, thousands of brocade flowers were scattered, Ye Ran's flower offering was really abrupt and lonely.

There is something that he can't seem to grasp, Ye Ran feels a little lost.

After the performance in Zhou Si's class, Ye Ran was ready to go home.He went to the bathroom and bumped into Yu Yue by accident.

"What a coincidence, Ye Ran. Are you alone?" Yu Yue embraced Ye Ran's shoulders - Yu Yue had a natural sense of familiarity with Ye Ran.In private, he once said that Ye Ran not only looked like his deskmate in elementary school, but also his complexion, and was ridiculed by his peers as a bad street line to pick up girls.

"What?" Yu Yue thought helplessly, "It really looks a lot alike."

Later, Ye Ran played for Yu Yue in the inter-school league, and he was injured and lay in the orthopedic department of the hospital for a week. Yu Yue felt very sorry, he had the temperament to make friends everywhere, and he treated this transfer student with kindness and humility. Run, the attitude can't help but deliberately become more courteous.

The feeling of emptiness in the atrium has not yet faded, Ye Ran only nodded symbolically listlessly, thought for a while, and then added: "But I still have something to do, I have to go home early."

Yu Yue said in surprise: "It's so early, the highlight of the high school hasn't arrived yet."

But he couldn't force Ye Ran to stay, so he said, "Is the calf better?"

"It's almost good, I can play another league game haha." Ye Ran suppressed his depression, and jumped twice as he spoke.

"Hey, I'm just asking casually, don't be serious, you'll be hurt for a hundred days." Yu Yue grabbed Ye Ran, fearing that he would jump on the spot again or something.

"Every time we meet, I express my condolences to this leg, please don't jump twice, please rest assured, right, my unlucky calf?" As he spoke, he touched the injured leg.

"I've convinced you. Forget it, I'll take you to the door. There are not many people here, and I will escort you personally, so that your unlucky calf will not bump and fall again."

Ye Ran smiled and said: "Then respect is worse than obedience, please trouble the leader."

As they said that, the two walked shoulder to shoulder and walked towards the main entrance of the theater.

It was just past three o’clock in the afternoon, and it was Friday. The huddled grandpas and aunts remembered that they had to pick up their grandchildren from school, so they gave up the welcome song at the High School Attached to Normal University, and went out to Jia floor theater.

But I saw a thin young man sitting on the bottom steps of the theater, with gelled hair combed back, wearing a black dress with a black bow tie, and polished leather shoes, he looked very noble, but his face seemed to be Powdered, it looked particularly pale and gloomy.The young man was sleepy, playing with a violin, he didn't know what he was thinking, and his expression was indifferent.

The grandma surnamed Wang who took her grandson to the kindergarten said distressedly: "It's freezing cold, which family's children are not afraid of freezing themselves."

The old man surnamed Li shouted directly at the boy: "Young man, there is something you can't think about when you are young, just go home and get some sleep."

The young man raised his head, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were lined with extremely thick eyeliner, the black seemed to draw into people's hearts.

He got up, holding the bow in one hand and the head of the violin in the other, turned around and walked slowly into the theater.Not long after the winter solstice, the sun sets early in the west, and under the dim yellow setting sun, the boy's shadow stretches so long that the onlookers feel a little lonely.

"What's the matter today, I haven't done anything to offend him recently." Cao Ning swung forward, his arm hurting from the force of the fluorescent green ball bouncing away.

"Are you crazy, kid?" Another ruthless kick came head-on, and Cao Ning narrowly dodged it sideways. He flicked the racket to the ground and cursed: "Fuck, I'm not playing anymore."

Zhou Si withdrew his hand, and big beads of sweat dripped down. The hair on the top of his head, temples, and eyelashes were all shiny, as if he had been fished out of the water. Near hostility.He pulled up the hem of his clothes and wiped his face, took the racket, ignored Cao Ning, and walked out of the arena.

Seeing this, Cao Ning chased after him cursing, and said, "Isn't it just that people didn't watch you show off your piano skills, so you have to cry all day long? It's not bad luck for those who celebrate the New Year."

Zhou Si's face was expressionless, but when he heard Cao Ning's words, his face became even more gloomy.

"He may be in a hurry. Besides, it's not you, so there's no one who needs to report everything to you, right? Oh, I said Mr. Zhou, if it's a big deal, you should forget about it once more." Cao Ning laughed and laughed.Although he was born two years earlier than Zhou Si, Cao Ning couldn't help shivering every week when Zhou Si had a dark face.

Zhou Si was a man who dealt with outsiders like a human being. He was well-mannered and measured in advance and retreat. Anyone who met him would praise Zhou Shu|Ji for teaching children well from the bottom of his heart.As for Zhou Si, she pretended to be tired, played with her acquaintances, and showed her true self.On ordinary days, when you are in a good mood, you can play jokes with him, and he can play with a playful face, which is more fun than you. That atmosphere can be called a happy and harmonious atmosphere, and the world is in harmony.If it turns from sunny to cloudy and unhappy, the whole person will become a reactor, and whoever gets close will be unlucky, and all that leaks out will be hostility.If someone accidentally touches Zhou Si's head at this moment, it will make you regret running too fast to catch up with reincarnation.

"As soon as the invitation is turned around and handed over to the same table, that's all, and I will watch the performance with brother Yu Yue," Zhou Si gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, it's really a good show."

Cao Ning thought to himself, it's your business to send invitations eagerly, but it's other people's business whether to go or not.Zhou Si's invitation is too domineering, and it's not an invitation that someone rushes to beg you to give, because of emotion and reason, he doesn't have to go when he is young.However, right now, this god is angry, and I can't say a few words of justice for Zhou Si, so I can only ask for blessings.

Cao Ning said: "This is too much. You are so young, you don't know how to flatter you! The invitation sent by Mr. Zhou is hard to buy! Other people can't ask for it, so he is fine." , giving favors to irrelevant people, this calculation is really loud!"

Zhou Si glanced at Cao Ning coldly, and that knife-killing glance made Cao Ning shut up immediately.

Zhou Si said: "Don't fan the flames, no matter how thoughtless he does it, no matter how much he ruins people's hearts, it's not up to you to point fingers. Forget it, it's hard for you to accompany me to play this game. You can choose the wine at night, and I will be accounted for." on the head."

Cao Ning secretly wiped off his cold sweat, thinking that Zhou Si was getting older, and his thoughts were buried deeper and deeper, but it really became more and more unpredictable.
