Cannon fodder dressed as a disabled marshal

The Merdale School of Music presents its Graduation Show every year, which lasts - all day and takes place in the school's largest auditorium, where anyone in the school can come and see it.

According to the program schedule, Xia Shuyun's performance time is around ten o'clock in the morning.When he was waiting backstage to play, no one was willing to approach him, and no one wanted to talk to him. Xia Shuyun had long been accustomed to this. He sat there quietly, looking through the curtain of the backstage, observing closely all the time. The situation in the venue at the front desk.

His perception of spiritual power is very keen, even if he can't see the panorama of the auditorium, even if there are many people coming and going in the venue, as long as Shen Qiran appears, he can immediately notice it.

But that person never came.

The performers came on stage one after another, and Xia Shuyun didn't even bother to listen to their performances.After an unknown amount of time, he finally heard the host read his name.

"The next performer is Xia Shuyun, a student from the Music Performance Department of the 79th grade. The repertoire he will bring to everyone is..."

To a certain extent, Xia Shuyun can be regarded as a "celebrity" in the Merdale Conservatory of Music. Hearing the host's announcement, the auditorium suddenly became commotion, and countless hostile and questioning eyes were projected over. On the boy.Xia Shuyun didn't realize it, he walked to the center of the stage and stood still, his calm gaze slowly swept across the audience.

Although his expression was calm, he let out a bitter sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Qiran, as expected, did not come.

No matter how hard he tried to persuade himself not to have expectations, he would still inevitably feel pain and disappointment when the facts were presented in front of his eyes.Xia Shuyun knew that it wasn't Shen Qiran's fault, the other party was definitely not someone who turned his back on what he said, if he wanted to blame, he could only blame Shen Qiran's husband - it was that person who was jealous and had a strong desire to control, and he didn't even have the last chance to meet before graduation. refused to leave them.

The lights around the stage dimmed, and the white spotlight focused on Xia Shuyun.The boy put the violin on his shoulders, raised the bow with his right hand, and prepared to start his own performance.

Sudden.

Xia Shuyun suddenly raised his head. Although standing on the stage, he should not be able to see the scene off the stage clearly, but he really saw it——Shen Qiran who hurried into the auditorium from the back door.

The man was running out of breath, and there was still self-blame and anxiety in his eyes, but when he met his gaze, the man immediately showed a relieved smile, and waved his hand happily at him, mouthing Said - "Come on, Shu Yun!"

Xia Shuyun smiled.

The young man's exquisite facial features looked extraordinarily handsome and gorgeous in his blooming smile, and his black eyes seemed to be shining like stars, dazzling and dazzling.Many people in the audience were amazed by this scene, and many people who were thinking of applauding also gave up the idea of ​​causing trouble.Xia Shuyun watched Shen Qiran sitting in the auditorium, he reluctantly looked away, then lowered his eyes, and drew the first note on the strings with the bow.

This is his well-prepared performance.

It's also a show he dedicated to that person.

The melodious sound of the violin echoed in the quiet auditorium, and the beautiful and moving melody flowed into everyone's ears like clear spring water. Many people soon realized that what Xia Shuyun played was actually non-spiritual music.Without the addition of mental power, his songs are so pleasant to the ear, people can't help but indulge, and feel relaxed and happy from the bottom of their hearts.

At the end of the three songs, there was a moment of silence in the auditorium, and then warm applause broke out.Xia Shuyun bowed and took the curtain call, and ran out of the backstage quickly after leaving the stage, and ran towards Shen Qiran's position.

But when he got there, a stranger was sitting on that seat.

Shen Qiran left.

How excited I was just now, how empty my mood is now, and the gap from heaven to hell is nothing more than that. Xia Shuyun stared blankly at the seat that had changed hands, and suddenly realized that her feelings for Shen Qiran , maybe not just some good feelings.

Originally, he just hoped that the other party would come to see his performance, and Shen Qiran did come, but when the other party left again, the pain he felt was even stronger than before.Like a water glass that cannot be filled, the empty heart longs to be filled, and even becomes more and more greedy. "Hi, Shu Yun!" Someone patted on the shoulder suddenly, followed by a familiar laugh, "I'm here!"

Xia Shuyun stared at the person in front of her in a daze, thinking she was dreaming.

"Someone wanted to change positions just now, so I switched places with her." Shen Qiran said with a smile, and Xia Shuyun's performance just now surprised him very much, "You performed so well, I was so fascinated by it!"

Xia Shuyun stared at him blankly, until the person on the opposite side started to have some doubts, the young man pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Thank you for coming."

"Didn't you agree to come?" Shen Qiran felt ashamed when he mentioned this. In the morning, he encountered some unexpected incidents and almost couldn't come here. "This is your graduation performance, of course I want to come."

"Are you still busy recently?" Xia Shuyun asked.

"En." Shen Qiran nodded, "Our communication is coming to an end the day after tomorrow, and I'm doing some final things these days, and I still need to pack my luggage."

Xia Shuyun only vaguely knew that the exchange student would leave soon, but he didn't expect it to be so soon: "The day after tomorrow..." He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, "It's so fast."

"The big troops will leave the day after tomorrow. I will start at - o'clock earlier, and leave tomorrow afternoon."

This was Shao Xing's request. The reason was that Shen Qiran was blocked at the border when he left the capital, and he didn't know what would happen when he returned to the country. It would be safer to go back on the patrol starship of the military department.Shen Qiran felt that what Shao Xing said was reasonable, so he agreed.

"Leave tomorrow?"

The disappointment on the young man's face was too obvious, Shen Qiran also noticed it, and comforted him.

"It's not that we won't see each other again in the future. Aren't you going to come to the capital to develop after graduation? You can come to me when the time comes."

Xia Shuyun was stunned for a moment, and great hope and joy suddenly rose in her heart: "Can I...can I see you again?"

Shen Qiran couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with this?" He lowered his voice slightly, and winked playfully at the young man, "Didn't you say that you want to find Mr. R to research and learn non-spiritual music together?"

Unexpectedly, the other party still remembered what she had said, Xia Shuyun was so happy that she wanted to hug him immediately, but his complexion changed quickly, and his eyes seemed to glance behind Shen Qiran unintentionally.

He could feel that the mental power condensed there suddenly became a little manic, as if giving a strong warning.

"But..." Xia Shuyun lowered her eyes, looking very embarrassed, "If I go to find you, your husband may not be happy."

"What does this have to do with him?" Shen Qiran was puzzled, "Don't worry, he won't care about these things." Anyway, as long as he doesn't associate with Esther, Shen Qiran feels that Shao Xing won't care who he associates with at all.

Just as he was talking, the smartphone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, and Shen Qiran took it out—looked, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, I have to go back." After such a long time, he wanted to chat with Xia Shuyun for a while, but he didn't expect that there was something urgent and he was in a hurry.

"Let's see you later in the capital," he said to Xia Shuyun, "We'll have a good chat then!"

"Okay." Xia Shuyun didn't try to keep him, but just smiled lightly, "I'll go find you, it's a deal."

"Hmm! — it's a deal."

Shen Qiran quickly left in a hurry.Xia Shuyun looked at the retreating figure until he couldn't see it anymore, then he turned around and walked backstage again.

At this time, his heart is full of hope, even if the road ahead is bumpy, there will definitely be people who will hinder him, but as long as Shen Qiran still loves music and wants to study and discuss music with him, Xia Shuyun firmly believes that they will meet again eventually.

In the evening, the graduation performance finally ended successfully.Starting tomorrow, these graduates will have to prepare for leaving school, and they will formally enter the society after leaving the college.Xia Shuyun's mind was no longer here, he couldn't wait to complete all the procedures as soon as possible, and then rushed to the capital immediately.

A reminder box suddenly popped up in the class group, and it was the teacher reminding everyone to submit an employment statistics form in time.Although it is okay to submit it tomorrow, Xia Shuyun didn't want to wait. He returned to the dormitory and quickly filled out the form, and went directly to the office building.

It was already night, and the office building was very quiet. Most of the teachers had gone home from get off work, and a small number of teachers who needed to be on duty or prepare lessons were still in the office.Xia Shuyun passed by one of the offices, and heard the chatter of several teachers coming from the open door.

"Have all the procedures for the exchange students been completed?"

"Most of them are finished. After all, we are leaving the day after tomorrow."

"Ah, is it so fast?" Someone said immediately, "Then I will go to that gentleman tomorrow to ask for his autograph!"

"You should be prudent, okay? The teacher suddenly ran to the students to ask for their autographs. Don't scare them."

"Haha, no way, she's the Marshal's wife, haven't you seen any big scenes before?"

Xia Shuyun's walking steps stopped suddenly.

Madam Marshal?

He looked at the office with some doubts, listening to the chats of the teachers, it seemed that the marshal's wife was among the exchange students this year, but he didn't know there was such a person.Only at the beginning, because Shen Qiran had the same name as the famous marshal's wife, it was rumored, but soon someone came out to refute the rumor, saying that it was just the same name.

...It's just a duplicate name, isn't it?

Unaware that there was one more observer outside, people in the office were still talking about this topic.

"I really can't believe it. I actually taught Mrs. Marshal. It's a pity that I have to keep it secret, otherwise I will definitely send a circle of friends to commemorate it."

"I can't hold back too! He looks really kind, he doesn't put on airs at all, he is gentle and cute. I finally understand why the Marshal loves him so much."

"Yes, if the dean hadn't informed me in advance, I would never have guessed that it wasn't the same name, but the Marshal's wife herself..."

Xia Shuyun's expression froze for an instant, and her pupils shrank in shock.

Shen Qiran...is he really the Marshal's wife?

After No. 1 appeared, Xia Shuyun vaguely guessed that Shen Qiran's identity was unusual, but he never thought that the other party's identity was so prominent, that she would be the wife of the marshal.

Things that I once wondered about, things that I couldn't understand, are all clear now.

The secret whistle that followed, Ou Rui and Owen's occasional respect, the teachers' extraordinarily respectful attitude, and the extremely jealous husband hidden behind...

The love between Mr. Marshal and Mrs. Marshal is well known throughout the country, even someone like Xia Shuyun who never cares about gossip has heard of it.What's ridiculous is that I'm still worried about Shen Qiran being restrained, but I don't know that the other party has always liked it. After all, for people who are in love with each other, a partner's strength and domineering can be regarded as a kind of harmless taste.

A bone-chilling coldness spread from the bottom of my heart, like a cold poisonous snake slowly wrapping around my heart.Xia Shuyun looked blankly at the form in his hand. In the column of the city where he wanted to work, he filled in "Star City of the Royal Capital", but when he went to the Royal Capital, would it really be possible to see Shen Qiran again?

Certainly not.

Not to mention the disparity in status between the two, on the territory of the Marshal of the Empire, how could that person allow himself to be close to his wife again?

I didn't expect that today - meeting, would be the last meeting between him and Shen Qiran.

The heavy weight in his heart made it difficult for Xia Shuyun to breathe. He closed his eyes slightly and forced himself to calm down.In fact... even if you can't see him in person, you can still hear the other party's music - he comforted himself - as Shen Qiran said, he will continue to create new songs, and then use Mr. R's account to continue to release...

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, making the boy's heart feel like falling into an ice cave again.

Qi Ran... Will he really still be in the music industry?

This thought—it came out like a precarious dam burst—a hole, and more negative and terrible thoughts emerged one after another, until it overwhelmed the defense of reason, and he was completely trapped by increasingly intense negative emotions. , struggling ups and downs, completely out of breath.

——How could the honorable Marshal's wife devote all her energy to music?

——Even if you are keen on it now, it is just a matter of interest. When you have enough fun, you will throw it aside.

—Maybe, even coming to the college is just a pastime, otherwise he could have found a more knowledgeable music professor to give lectures instead of wasting time in the boring college life.

——Besides, even if he wanted to study further, the Marshal's husband would probably not be happy about it.

The scene when I asked him why he concealed the identity of Mr. R appeared in front of my eyes. At that time, Qi Ran had a forced smile on his face, right?He actually didn't want to...

Yes, he couldn't stand in public, all because of his husband.Maybe that person didn't want others to see Qi Ran's brilliance, or maybe that person felt that showing his face in public was a disgrace, or maybe, that person was so arrogant that he looked down on music at all...

All kinds of extreme thoughts filled his mind, and an uncontrollable anger welled up spontaneously.

——If... It would be nice if Qi Ran wasn't the marshal's wife.

Xia Shuyun was stunned, startled by this thought, the messy thoughts in her head were suddenly swept away, and the only thing left was a familiar voice.

——Yeah, he’s just fine.

Xia Shuyun's face turned pale instantly.Here again, that nasty auditory hallucination, a symptom of his illness.

He immediately went to touch the medicine bottle in his pocket, the voice was still whispering in his head, like a kind elder patiently pointing out.

——If he is not the Marshal's wife, he can engage in the career he loves without any scruples, and can walk in front of the public stage in a fair manner.

——If he is not the marshal's wife, he doesn't have to obey the wishes of another person in everything, and he doesn't have to be restricted in dealing with people, and he doesn't have to... cut off contact with you.

——If he is not the Marshal's wife, he and you will become happier and happier.

The gorgeous poisonous snake spit out the snake letter, bewitching the prey who walked into the trap. Every word and every word of this voice depicts a future that young people have never imagined and dare not imagine.

- Don't you want to help your friend?

said the voice.

—to help him get rid of that tyrant and let him be truly free.

The medicine bottle in his hand fell to the ground, and Gu Lulu rolled into the shadows in the corner of the corridor. The young man's eyes began to become hollow, and he stared at nothing in front of him, muttering.

"What should I do?"

--give it to me.

The voice laughed, with an irresistible magic.

——Give me your—everything, and I will surely get—everything for you.

Gradually, her thoughts began to stagnate, and her thinking became difficult. Xia Shuyun supported her dizzy head, and asked the last words with difficulty.

"Who are you?"

Before he lost consciousness, he heard the answer. The voice no longer echoed in his mind, but came from the bottom of his heart.

- I am you.You are me.

The voice said with a smile.

——We are of the same heart, regardless of each other.

——straight,—straight, it’s all like this.

***

There was a knock on the door of the office, and the teacher who was preparing for the lesson called out "Come in", and a handsome young man opened the door and walked in.

"Teacher, I'm here to submit the employment survey form." The boy said with a smile, and handed over the paper in his hand.

Under the light, his black eyes are extraordinarily beautiful and charming, and his bright red lips are slightly raised, with a bit of playfulness and cunning, like a cynical little devil who has fallen into the world.Due to the huge difference in temperament from usual, the teacher couldn't help but look at him a few more times, then took the employment questionnaire and glanced at the information on it.

"Ah, student Shu Yun, are you going to the capital?" the teacher asked in surprise.

He knew that this student named Xia Shuyun was very controversial in the college, and for his own safety, he did not dare to have too much contact with the other party, but he was secretly concerned about the other party's situation.As far as he knew, Xia Shuyun's ambition should be to return to his hometown Tucker planet after graduation when he conducted the intention survey last year.

"I've changed my mind." Xia Shuyun always had a cheerful smile on his face, and his tone was brisk, "I am more attracted to the capital."

"Well, Wangdu is also good." The teacher nodded and reminded kindly, "If some departments have recommendation letters, the probability of successful job hunting will increase a lot. Do you have any good referees in Wangdu? If not, I I can also help you write a letter of recommendation."

"Thank you teacher, no need." The boy curled the corner of his mouth, like a gorgeous flower that suddenly bloomed, his smile was extraordinarily coquettish under the light, "Although there is no recommender yet..."

"But soon, there will be."

The author has something to say: Don't be afraid, it's just an assist, and it will be offline soon.
