little stutter

The rehearsal location was in the club activity room of the office building. For the first rehearsal, everyone was almost laughing while reciting their lines. Many of them were acting for the first time in a drama. Apart from thinking it was fun, they were also inexplicably ashamed to play it.

Xu Junshang was dumbfounded. He is a screenwriter and director. He is the only one in the audience who has acting experience, and no one else has acted before. It is normal to have such a situation.Moreover, both he and Chen Xin noticed that the lines in the script looked fine, but they felt very weird when they were spoken out. Because they were too literary and not colloquial enough, Xu Junshang had no choice but to ask Chen Xin to write them down and revise them later.

A group of people just finished the first rehearsal with laughter. Cheng Xin finally summed it up in one word: unsightly.

Although the time is tight, the lines that should be revised still need to be revised.When Xu Junshang and Chen Xin sat down to revise their lines, Cheng Xin sat beside them and accompanied them, and occasionally came up with some ideas. The three cobblers beat Zhuge Liang. After two days of busy work, they finally corrected their lines.Then the rehearsal started again. After the first embarrassment, everyone gradually got used to it later on. At least there would be no jokes all the time. The rehearsal finally got on the right track.

Xie Shijie still often comes to play with Cheng Xin, and when he finds that they are rehearsing a drama, he is eager to come to watch.Although everyone expressed a strong desire to decline the visit, it was the thick-skinned classmate Xie who broke through the weak line of defense and became their first audience.

Chen Xin didn't like to show off in the first place, and it took a few days to get used to the gazes of the other crew members. Now there is an extra crowd waiting to watch, and every time she rehearses, she can't help but glance at Xie Shijie. I am afraid that the other party will laugh at me.And Xie Shijie was originally here to watch the excitement, and he was smiling all the time, which made Chen Xin nervous. He stuttered already, but now he stuttered even more. He couldn't finish a line for a long time. Everyone sweated for him, but he himself was so anxious that the hairs on his back were covered with sweat.

Xu Junshang called a timeout in time: "Everyone, take a break."

Chen Xin sat on the stool in frustration, looking at the script book in her hand.In fact, he doesn't have too many lines, but this is not a pantomime, and he still has to say less.Xu Junshang came over: "What's the matter, Chen Xin, didn't you feel fine yesterday?"

Chen Xin raised her head to look at him, smiled apologetically, and said nothing, but then glanced at Cheng Xin, who was talking to Xie Shijie, and the two were chatting and laughing, looking very warm.Xu Junshang followed his gaze and said, "Do you feel embarrassed that there are outsiders present?"

Chen Xin lowered her eyes and nodded.Cheng Xin's voice suddenly rang above his head: "What's so embarrassing, he is the only one, and we will perform in front of the teachers and students of the school later. Well, don't think too much, just treat him as a wooden stake Alright." Cheng Xin said as he raised his hand and touched Chen Xin's head.

Xie Shijie came over, put his hands around Cheng Xin's shoulders from behind, rested his chin on Cheng Xin's shoulders, and still had a smile on his face: "Brother Xin, you are too mean to treat me like a wooden stake. But You guys had a lot of fun rehearsing."

His action was originally a common action among familiar male friends, but it was inexplicably dazzling in Chen Xin's eyes. He only glanced at it, and then looked away.

Cheng Xin noticed that Chen Xin was a little unhappy, and knew that he might mind the presence of outsiders, so he pulled Xie Shijie off his shoulders: "Brother Jie, you'd better go out first, don't hinder our rehearsal."

Xie Shijie didn't want to leave: "Don't, I want to watch it for a while. I promise not to laugh this time, and be a quiet and handsome man. Go ahead and pretend that I don't exist." After finishing speaking, he walked to a chair in the corner and sat down up.

Seeing that he was gone, Cheng Xin came to persuade Chen Xin: "Okay, don't take him seriously, let's continue to line up."

Xu Junshang said: "Yes, let's continue."

Chen Xin sat still, he looked at Cheng Xin, then at Xu Junshang, and said, "Junshang, if you want, why don't you change my role to someone else."

Before Xu Junshang could speak, Cheng Xin became impatient: "Don't, you've already reached this level, how can you give up?"

Chen Xin looked at him, turned to Junshang and said, "I'm afraid it will delay your business."

Xu Junshang smiled: "There's no need to delay this. I said it's for playing together. Don't have any psychological burden. I think, now we can play together like this. When we are in the third year of high school next year, we can play if we want to." There is no time, and after graduation, there will be no chance to play, this is the memory of our youth."

Cheng Xin nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes! Jun Shang is right, this will be our best memory from now on."

Chen Xin was very moved by Xu Junshang's words. It was indeed the case. He probably only acted in such a drama once in his life. He didn't want to waste the opportunity. He took a deep breath and glanced at Xie Shi in the corner Jie, thinking silently: I can't see him!Then stood up: "Okay, let's continue."

This time Chen Xin tried her best to ignore Xie Shijie's existence, and barely managed to continue acting.

At first they rehearsed using the noon and afternoon breaks, but later found that the school relaxed the control on those who participated in the New Year's Day performance, and they could go to bed an hour later, so they also chose to rehearse after evening self-study.

It was already 10:30 after the rehearsal, and the campus was quiet at this time, only the rehearsals were still awake.The school supermarket usually closes when the lights are off. Recently, because many people are rehearsing, the boss will do business. Knowing that this group of students will consume a lot of energy for rehearsal, they must replenish energy, so it is very appropriate to postpone the closing of the supermarket. Anyway, this In recent years, except for the elderly and children, few people go to bed before twelve o'clock. Opening the door for a while can make money, so why not do it.

Of course, Chen Xin and the others will also go to the supermarket to eat supper after the rehearsal to replenish their energy.What Chen Xin couldn't figure out was that Xie Shijie was neither from the drama club nor participated in any New Year's Day performances. Why could he stay with them until 10:30, and he also followed them when eating supper? Chen Xin thought I had this question, but I didn't ask him face to face. After all, he was Cheng Xin's friend, and I didn't know him very well.

On this day, Xie Shijie took the initiative to ask for a treat, so that everyone can buy it.Cheng Xin just laughed: "I'm afraid your card is not enough."

Xie Shijie said: "How is that possible! If it's not enough for me to recharge now, you can just buy it."

As a result, after everyone selected the items, his card was really not enough to swipe, because Cheng Xin bought a lot of beef jerky. Beef jerky is already expensive, and the beef jerky in the school supermarket is especially expensive. Xie Shijie looked at the bags of beef Dry, jokingly said: "Who took so much beef, can you finish it?"

Cheng Xin smiled and said, "I took it. I told you that your card is not enough to swipe it. Forget it, I'll buy it." Then he started to take out his wallet.

Xie Shijie quickly embraced Cheng Xin with open arms and refused to let him swipe his card: "That won't work, I'll buy it if I agree. I can still afford a few packs of beef for you. Boss, swiping your card is not enough. I still have money here." , recharge another two hundred." As he spoke, he threw out his card and wallet.

Cao Ji smiled and extended his thumb: "Brother Jie really loves Brother Xin!"

Hearing this, Chen Xin's face suddenly became a little sad, and he turned his face to the side, then slowly backed out, and put the things in his hands back on the shelf.Xu Junshang noticed Chen Xin's expression and movements, and chased after him: "Aren't you going to eat?"

Chen Xin shook her head: "I, and Apple."

Xu Junshang smiled and said, "Why is Apple so hungry? It will only make you hungry more and more. What do you want to eat? Let me treat you."

Chen Xin said, "I, don't eat."

Xu Junshang patted him on the shoulder: "Well then, we bought a lot anyway, let's eat together later."

Chen Xin pursed her lips and said nothing, it was bought by Xie Shijie, and he didn't want to eat it.I knew this would happen, so I followed Cao Ji and left again.Cao Ji didn’t eat supper again, saying he wanted to lose weight, so he offered to send the two girls from the crew back to the girls’ dormitory. There were only two girls in the whole crew, one was Liu and Qian, and the other was a classmate who was pulled over by Liu and Qian , Liu and Qian are losing weight, so naturally it is impossible to eat in the middle of the night.

Chen Xin smiled at Xu Junshang, and walked out alone, it was almost Christmas, a Christmas tree was decorated at the entrance of the supermarket, and the colored lights flickered quietly, embellishing this dark and cold night.As soon as he lowered his head, he saw a shelf around the Christmas tree. The shelf was full of greeting cards and beautiful envelopes. Most of the greeting cards were for Christmas and New Year, because Christmas and New Year's Day were coming soon.There are various envelopes. Chen Xin saw a somewhat familiar envelope, orange, and Chen Xin remembered the poem - "When you are old".

After Cheng Xin finished shopping, he turned around to look for Chen Xin. When he found him standing by the door, he walked over quickly: "Chen Xin, what are you doing?"

Chen Xin looked back and smiled at him.Cheng Xin saw the greeting cards and envelopes under the Christmas tree, and suddenly realized that the holiday was coming soon. Although this festival is a foreign festival, Chinese people have the ability to make foreign festivals into Valentine's Day, and Christmas is naturally no exception.He looked at the envelope and greeting card, then at Chen Xin, and couldn't help laughing: "Let's go, I'm going back to the dormitory." As soon as he went out, the cold night wind howled past, chilling his heart.Cheng Xin turned around and said, "Chen Xin, hide behind me, I'll protect you from the wind."

Chen Xin didn't have the nerve to ask him to shield her from the wind, so she didn't follow, but Xie Shijie ran out from behind and stuck behind Cheng Xin: "Brother Xin, help me shield from the wind, it's freezing!"

Chen Xin: "..."

Cheng Xin rolled his eyes, and said in a calm voice, "Get out! Why do you ask me to shield you from the wind, and don't look at your big man." But the voice was swept away by the north wind , did not reach Chen Xin's ears.

Chen Xin couldn't help but feel a little sour when she saw the two figures fighting.Chen Xin was troubled again. Before, what he was worried about was how to maintain the relationship with Cheng Xin's good friend and buddy, keep an appropriate distance, and not have too much intimate contact; now what he was worried about was that Cheng Xin had intimate contact with others And the relationship, and that kind of intimacy is exactly what he tried his best to avoid, although he knew that they were mostly buddies and friends, which made him very unhappy.What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that he actually didn't like Xie Shijie very much because of these things. He didn't know what was wrong with him, why his mind became so narrow-minded.Chen Xin's mind is constantly cutting and judging, and it is estimated that it will be troubled for a while.

Compared with Chen Xin's angst and anxiety, Cao Jiyou was in a very happy mood. He was a flower protector happily every day. He didn't know everyone well in the first two days, so he didn't have much to say all the way back.On the third day, that classmate Liu and Qian finally couldn't bear the gossip and asked, "Are you an older brother or a younger brother?"

Cao Ji covered his face and sighed again. After sending them off several times, they didn't know who they were sending him off. He finally realized what others meant when he said that his appearance was not recognizable. He had no choice but to say: "I am Cao Ji." Also, class three. Cao Ji is my older brother, he studies liberal arts and is in class seven."

The girl asked again: "I've always been curious. Why do you and your brother's names look so similar? Who gave you the name? Feeling embarrassed. Isn't it, He Qian?"

Cao Ji hid his face again: "Don't mention it, I was sent by my parents for the phone bill."

Liu and Qian couldn't help but burst out laughing.Hearing the girl laugh again, Cao Ji felt a little comforted, and said: "My parents named Cao Ji before they were pregnant with us, but later found out that they were pregnant with twins. Normally my name should be Cao Xu, but I There is a cousin whose name is Cao Xu, the Xu of Rising Sun, my father gave me this name, which means another one."

Liu and Qian smiled and said, "Your name sounds better than your brother's."

Hearing this comment again, Cao Ji was immediately elated. Since he was a child, he has been misunderstood and ridiculed by many people because of his name, but all the misunderstandings and ridicules were not as deep as today's praise, which made him feel deeply: "Really?"

Both girls nodded: "Well, Cao Ji sounds nice."

Cao Jiyou was in a state of ecstasy that night, and Liu Heqian boasted that his name was nice!For the first time he was proud of his name.
