waste

There was a brief silence in the rehearsal room.

No one has ever seen Li Xu like this. He can be so arrogant that no one can see him, and he can also be so arrogant that he will act recklessly, because no one will stop him, and no one will think that he has done anything wrong.

He shouldn't be like now, losing his soul for a person he can't get, reluctant to use stubborn means to get the other person to stay by his side.

"Shu Yuan isn't this kind of person, is he?" Song Yuenian said, "Although I haven't had much contact with him, I feel that he doesn't hate you as much as you think."

"Nonono, Brother Song, you got the key point wrong," Han Qiyun snapped his fingers, "The point isn't that Ah Xu is worried that she won't be able to get into the key class, so why not let Secretary Li intervene?"

"No," Li Xu objected, "Shu Yuan will hate me if he knows."

"Tsk, little brats are troublesome. People who are chasing someone still have scruples." Shi Chengjin patted Li Xu's knee, "Like your brother and me, abduct him to the bed, and everything will be solved."

"You put this in front of Lawyer Shen." Li Xu pushed Shi Chengjin's body away with his knee, "Don't just give me bad advice."

Gu Qu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Why do you think you can't make it?"

This sentence seems the most unrealistic to everyone, but it is the most practical when it comes to Li Xu.

"Didn't you make a lot of progress in the first two section exams? Why can't you make it to the top 30 at the end of the semester?" Gu Qu analyzed, "Besides, he made it through your own efforts, can he blame you for failing? "

"How could it be so easy?" Li Xu said, "The others are not fools, how could they stand still and watch me rush forward unimpeded?"

"I don't understand the world of Xueba," Shi Chengjin waved his hand, "You guys continue talking, I'll go buy something to drink and come back."

He got up on his knees, and just as he reached the door, Song Yuenian suddenly called out to him: "Wait a minute."

Shi Chengjin turned around: "What else do you want to buy?"

"No," Song Yuenian waved his hand, "I have a proposal."

Song Yuenian is the oldest among the buddies, and also the captain who is obsessed. He is usually used to being steady. Everyone treats his suggestions as the final decision.

However, this time he showed a troubled expression, walked back and forth in the rehearsal room a few times with his hips crossed, and then raised his head and asked, "Li Xu, if you are given enough time, can you rush up?"

"Brother Song, what do you want to say?" Li Xu asked.

Song Yuenian tapped his fingers on the guitar lying flat on the coffee table: "Well, we didn't get together for money at the beginning, we formed this band purely out of our passion for music, since now There is a conflict with other factors in reality, or you should first apply to the manager for a period of rest."

There is no doubt that Song Yuenian's proposal is like a stone hitting water.Li Xu was the first to object: "No, my exam is the exam, what's the matter with the band?"

"That's right, although I always complain that my throat hurts from singing, I don't really want to disband." Shi Chengjin turned around and sat down.

Song Yuenian sighed: "It's not disbandment, it's rest, and I didn't think of it on the spur of the moment. Li Xuhe often has exams, Qi Yun is going to come out for an internship, and Shijing, didn't you say that you want to take a test, and you can make full use of this time .”

Among the people in the circle, only Gu Qu had the calmest expression, as if he had expected Song Yuenian to come up with such a solution: "Brother Song, what about you?"

Song Yuenian said with a smile: "I'm going on a trip, visit cities I've never been to, and collect inspiration materials by the way."

***

There is only half a month left before the final exam, and Li Xu has a lot more time than going to a bar to perform at night.

Occasionally, he went to ask the teacher with the exercises in his hand, and it would cause a sensation in the office. The teacher of class 10 was next, and most of the discussions were with teachers of other classes——

"Has Li Xu changed his gender recently? Didn't he like handing in blank papers the most?"

"I guess he was trained by Secretary Li. Didn't he skip class not long after the beginning of this semester?"

"I think it's Teacher Cui who teaches well!"

Cui Chanjuan, who was named, raised her head from the computer with a smile: "It's not due to me, it's due to the wish of our class. I'm afraid Li Xu will have a showdown with him at the end of this semester."

Speaking of Shu Yuan, there was another round of commotion in the office. Cui Chanjuan didn't participate in the discussion anymore, she found out Li Wenxuan's name from the address book, and truthfully sent Li Xu's recent situation to her.

The total review time before the end of the term is the shortest. Often when everyone feels that they have not memorized the content thoroughly, the bell of the exam will ring.

The entire grade was disrupted, Li Xu and Shu Yuan's examination rooms were far apart, one was in a classroom on the second floor of the laboratory building, and the other was on the fifth floor of the teaching building.

Before leaving the class to go to the examination room, Shu Yuan caught sight of Li Xu stuffing something into the pencil case. He wanted to see clearly that Li Xu had already zipped up the pencil case.

"Shall we go to lunch together after the Chinese exam?" Li Xu followed Shu Yuan out through the back door, "Wait at the flower bed downstairs."

"Yeah." Shu Yuan lowered his head and flipped through the pencil case, then stopped in his tracks.

"What did you forget?" Li Xu asked.

Shu Yuan looked at Li Xu's pencil case: "Do you have any more pens? My pen is almost out of ink."

"There are refills," Li Xu handed over his pencil case, "There are both 0.5 and 0.38, you can choose by yourself."

People passing by in the corridor rushed to the test room, Shu Yuan looked towards the opposite laboratory building, the students outside the test room on the second floor had already lined up for metal detection.

He quickly opened Li Xu's pencil case and rummaged through it. He was secretly relieved when he didn't find any suspicious note. He took a pen refill and returned the pencil case: "Thank you."

The two separated at the stairs, and when Shu Yuan ran to the opposite building, it was his turn to be tested.Like any previous exam, Shu Yuan didn't have the sense of urgency that other people had on her face. She calmly read, answered, and handed in the answer sheet. The answer goes downstairs.

Li Xu was faster than him, and he was already standing by the flower bed, holding the test paper in his hand and reading the questions.

Shu Yuan walked over: "Did you jump from the fifth floor?"

"No." Li Xu folded the test paper into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket. "I handed in the test paper 10 minutes earlier."

Shu Yuan didn't speak, Li Xu explained in a good-tempered manner: "I'm afraid you'll wait, it's okay to be 10 minutes earlier."

There are so many people in the cafeteria at this moment, Li Xu doesn't want to queue up, so he drags Shu Yuan to the commercial street outside the school to eat rice bowls.While waiting for the food to be served, Li Xu took out the test paper again, unfolded it again, and said, "Do you answer the multiple-choice question?"

Shu Yuan stared at him for more than ten seconds, and then said slowly: "What is the formula for the distance from a point to a straight line?"

"?" Li Xu looked up from the Chinese test paper.

"How do you find the distance between two parallel lines?" Shu Yuan asked again.

"It's really you..." Li Xu put down the Chinese test paper and recited the formula proficiently.

Shu Yuan raised the corners of her mouth, and let out a not-so-bright smile: "One subject is lost in the exam, and there is no need to worry about the subjects after the exam."

"I know," Li Xu looked at the other party's expressionless eyes and lost his focus, "Shu Yuan...don't go too fast, I want to catch up with you."

The two-day exam passed in a blink of an eye. When Li Xu got home at night, he threw away his backpack and pulled a pillow to put it behind his head.

There was a knock on the door, and Li Xu answered lazily: "The door is unlocked, come in."

It was Li Wenxuan who pushed the door and entered, which seemed unreasonable, but it was within Li Xu's expectation.

These days his father always came home on time, Yao Yilei's complexion improved a lot, and she soaked in the kitchen every day to make Tian's wife cook delicious food in different ways.

Li Wenxuan was dissatisfied with her approach, so he turned around and told Mrs. Tian: "Make more of what Xiaoxu likes to eat, didn't he eat a lot of lotus leaf turtle meat last time, and make a Cordyceps stewed meat soup, let him eat more at night." Drink two bowls."

"Xiao Jue will be back tomorrow," Yao Yilei was leaning against the kitchen door at that time, "What do you want to eat?"

"It's fine," Li Wenxuan said, "You can figure it out, I'll take Xiaoxu out to eat tomorrow."

***

The lights in the bedroom were not turned on, and the last sliver of winter's afterglow slipped away from the sky, and the room was so dim that only the outlines of each other could be discerned.

For a long period of time, no one spoke first, and just when Li Xu was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep, Li Wenxuan got up and turned on the chandelier in the bedroom, dispersing the drowsiness that Li Xu had accumulated with great difficulty.

"It seems that you are quite tired recently," Li Wenxuan sat down beside the bed, "I don't see you going out at night."

"Review," Li Xu pointed to the formula book on the bedside, "I've put my heart into studying, shouldn't you be happy?"

Li Wenxuan smiled, his face in his 40s could still be seen as handsome when he was young, no wonder the two women were so devoted to him.

"I'm very happy," Li Wenxuan said, "Do you want to enter the key class?"

Hearing this tone, Li Xu knew what his father wanted to do. He sat up, frowned and said, "It's my business if I want to get in, don't interfere."

"Yes," Li Wenxuan nodded, "I will not interfere."

After the topic of the exam was finished, Li Wenzheng was still sitting there, looking at the sky outside the balcony and wondering what he was thinking.

Li Xuding hated his appearance, and thinking of facing Yao Yilei's face every day during the long winter vacation made him even angrier. He was about to throw Li Wenxuan out of the bedroom when the other party suddenly turned his head and said, "Let's go together tomorrow."

Tomorrow is Baishuang's birthday. If she was still alive, she would be the same age as Yao Yilei this year. She might still be wearing her favorite lotus-colored long dress, squatting in the yard watering the plants she planted herself, humming With the classic old songs of the last century.

In previous years, Li Xu and Li Wenxuan would go separately on this day, but this year Li Wenxuan wanted to go with him.

"As usual," Li Xu disagreed, "You morning, I afternoon."

"I'm not free in the morning." Li Wenxuan said.

Li Xu didn't change his face: "Success, then you have afternoon and I have morning."

"Let's go together," Li Wenxuan insisted, "Don't be stubborn."

The door opened and closed, and Li Wenxuan left a sentence "Remember to go downstairs for dinner" before going out.

If there were no Yao Yilei and Li Jue, he would think that Li Wenxuan was a good father.

Moving his body to lean against the head of the bed, Li Xu took out a cowhide book from a row of books on the shelf.The paper inside is all frayed, and most of the book is full of fragments of the story after Bai Shuang met Li Wenxuan.The further you go to the back, the more obvious the handwriting on the paper is smudged, and you can imagine how many tears its owner shed when writing the diary.

Is he stubborn?Li Xu asked herself.

He just feels worthless for his mother.
