my summer

After Xia Zhi finished that sentence, we fell into a long silence.In the end, I don't know who opened the mouth first, and we returned to the front of the dormitory building one after the other.

Before leaving, Xia Zhi whispered to me, "Don't get too close to Li Youheng, remember." I nodded in a daze, then didn't bother to go to the cafeteria, and went straight back to the dormitory.

After lying on the bed for an hour, I completely figured out that Li Youheng was behind the scenes.He misled me on purpose, took me to Zige on purpose, and took photos for Xia Zhi on purpose. Even if Jack didn't come out, there would be other people to complete the ambiguous performance with me.As for why he did this... probably because he also likes Xia Zhi.

Why can't we pursue it openly and aboveboard?Are you afraid that I am a strong competitor?That's why I resorted to this dirty trick, not only destroying my relationship with Xia Zhi, but also preventing myself from being stained by sewage.After all, I can't come up with any real evidence to accuse him.

After that day, every time I went to Zige, I paid special attention to my surroundings, but I never saw Li Youheng again.It was obvious that he was deliberately avoiding me.

I don't know how Xia Zhi lives with him under the same roof every day and how he gets along.Xia Zhi has always been calmer than me, he must understand that any fight in school will be punished.

As for why I continue to go to Zige, it's very simple. I have a clear conscience and a magnanimous heart. If I don't go to Zige suddenly, it means there is a ghost.Besides, those foreign friends in Zigeli have greatly helped me improve my oral English, and I am not willing to give up just like that.

There were still no empty seats in Zigri, and the lights were dim.It's just that today's singing sounds hoarse and softer than usual.

"Summer," Brother Hua suddenly stopped me, "Go and call the singer down, his voice is so hoarse, why are you still singing? It's hard to hear."

I had no choice but to put down the plate, and while Young Master Lin was drinking water, I went up to the stage to call him, and conveyed Brother Hua's meaning tactfully.

Lin Shao looked down at the cup in his hand, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I sang well."

After finishing speaking, he put down the glass, readjusted the guitar in his arms, and was ready to start the next song.

I was hesitating whether to let him continue singing, or forcefully stop him, when Brother Hua rushed over.He slapped the guitar hard, with impatience written all over his face, "Stop singing!"

Lin Shao brushed his hand away, and said with a soft smile, "Leave me alone, if I don't sing, there will be no songs tonight."

Brother Hua stared at him for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked me: "Can you play the guitar? Can you sing?"

"Yes... yes... but I..." I said hesitantly, completely unprepared for this question.

Before I could finish speaking, Brother Hua had already forcibly removed the guitar from Lin Shao's body and stuffed it into my arms, "Tonight's stage is yours." Then he couldn't help but pull Lin Shao off the stage.

I stood alone on the stage, and a panic flashed in my heart.Although the stage is not big and the lights are not particularly shining, it is the first time in my life that I am about to start performing with a guitar on my back.

All eyes in the audience focused on me.

I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths to calm myself down as soon as possible. Why don't I just play the guitar and sing a song?Nothing to be afraid of.

Fortunately, when I returned to school during the freshman holiday, I brought my guitar to school. Occasionally, on a whim, I would play and sing a few songs to enjoy myself.Later, the guitar was brought to the summer solstice dormitory, and he practiced for a while, so I simply left the guitar with him.

I lightly slid my fingers across the strings, and a chord came.The audience gradually burst into applause.

I bowed, sat on the high stool, and began to play and sing.What I sang was a quiet English song, "if" by bread.For a while, I liked this song very much. When I went to the library with Xia Zhi, I didn’t forget to listen to it repeatedly with my mp3.

With little recollection, the subconscious plucking begins as soon as my fingers touch the strings.The familiar melody echoed in the bar, and I hummed softly along with it.The audience was quiet, and everyone was listening to me singing carefully.

The string in my heart gradually became loose, and I was completely immersed in the song, forgetting everything around me.

At the end of the song, I stood up and bowed again, and the applause from the audience was warmer and longer than before.

Well done, my debut.

"One more song!" someone shouted from the audience.

"Yes! Encore!" Someone responded.

"Encore! Encore!" People kept responding.

So I started the performance of the second song, this time I sang "Back to the Past".As I played and sang, my thoughts slowly drifted back to my high school days. The sun was shining brightly in winter, and Xia Zhi and I were nestled in my room. laugh.

That night, I followed Brother Hua's instructions and sang songs all night.When it was over, my throat was about to burst into smoke.Lin Shao sings like this every night, one can imagine how hard it is.

"I didn't expect that, you kid can do it." Brother Hua patted my shoulder lightly and said with a smile.

I reluctantly smiled at him, thinking that it wasn't because you pushed the ducks into the shelves.

Unexpectedly, Young Master Lin was still there. He walked over and stood beside Brother Hua, and said with a smile, "You play the guitar well, and your voice is also very talented. Are you interested in developing this field in the future?"

I swallowed hard, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Young Master Lin, for your compliment, but I haven't thought about what will happen next. Tonight was a complete accident."

"In the future, you can sing a few songs every time you come here. I'll pay you for the hard work, how about it?" Brother Hua said.

I looked at him, then at Young Master Lin, and nodded in agreement without thinking too much.Playing the guitar and singing is much more interesting than simply serving dishes.More importantly, I found that I enjoyed being on stage and being listened to.

During the summer vacation when I was about to enter my junior year, I stayed at home, besides practicing English every day, I also learned new guitar pieces.I bought the guitar again after I got home. The previous one is still in the summer solstice dormitory, and it has been owned by him by default.

Xia Zhi didn't come back during the summer vacation, but went directly to the city where Aunt Sun worked, and found a summer job there.Usually we don't spend much time together, so it's good to have the opportunity to spend more time with my mother now.

Throughout the summer vacation, we just briefly talked on the phone a few times to chat about our respective situations.Although Xia Zhi didn't ask about the photos and the bar anymore, there seemed to be an invisible gap between us, and we were no longer as completely intimate as before.

What should be done to break down this barrier?

Shortly after the start of my junior year, I passed the written and oral exams of Zhongkou in turn, and then applied for a senior interpreter non-stop.It is said that the difficulty factor of Gaokou is several times higher than that of Zhongkou, and the annual pass rate is terribly low, but in order to bring myself closer to Xia Zhi in the future in the workplace, I decided to fight.

Of course, in addition to studying, I will not give up the job of Zige's waiter and live singer.I opened a special bank card and deposited all the money I earned from part-time jobs into it without using a single cent.This money will definitely be of great use in the future.

Since Xia Zhi entered his junior year, he seemed to be getting busier and busier. Once I called him at 11 o'clock in the evening, and he was still studying in the library.I no longer come out to play football on weekends, and all my spare time is dedicated to the study room except for eating, sleeping and two tutoring.

No wonder there is a saying in the school that every day of studying medicine is the third year of high school.

As a result, my chances of meeting him have dwindled.At that time, none of our mobile phones had a camera function, and I could only obtain temporary comfort by recalling bits and pieces of our past every night when I missed him.

I got Zhongkou's certificate in my hand as I wished, I called Xia Zhi excitedly, and shared this joy with him immediately.

"Yangyang," his voice on the other end of the phone was also very excited, "You are awesome! I am so proud of you!"

"Tch, talk about something else," I said, "I don't want to listen to such dull talk."

"I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart," he calmed down, "Yangyang, you have always been my pride. This pride has nothing to do with grades, knowledge, ability, or family. What I am proud of is you, because I have a direction. You who will continue to work hard towards it, you who will not give up easily but face up to difficulties, you who are so good to me..."

Listening to the soft voice of Xia Zhi, my ears are almost pregnant.This is the first love talk I have heard in my life. It turns out to be so sweet and make my heart beat faster.

"I'm not as good as you say," I murmured, "You are my pride..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, "Yangyang..."

"Huh?" I could tell that Xia Zhi hesitated to speak.

There was another moment of silence, "Keep up the senior interpreter! Get it once! I'll keep busy, let's talk!" Xia Zhi hung up the phone in a hurry.

After holding it in for a long time, you just say "keep going"?Ghosts believe it!He obviously wanted to say something, but at the critical moment, he swallowed it back.Summer solstice, oh summer solstice, when will you be honest?
