Back to the Years When My Father Was in School

In the activity class on Friday afternoon, Jian Yao took Lu Yan to the recreational classroom of the student activity center. In the classroom, the school celebration chorus-"Night of the Military Port" was being rehearsed.

As soon as he arrived in the hallway, Lu Yan heard that the piano sound obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the cantata, and the whole chorus sounded very choppy.

At the door of the classroom, she heard the instructor say to a girl: "Jiang Yiyi, the phrase'the sea breeze blows gently', you sing again slowly, intermittently, and the whole coordination is affected."

Jiang Yiyi said helplessly: "Teacher, it's not my problem, it's the music problem, I follow the music melody."

After she finished speaking, she glanced resentfully at Shu Mengfei at the piano.

Shu Mengfei immediately apologized to the teacher: "Ms. Zou, I'm really sorry. Although I have tried very hard to practice, I still can't keep up with the rhythm. But don't worry, I will definitely be able to practice well during the competition."

Her attitude made Teacher Zou feel very useful, so she comforted Shu Mengfei in turn: "It's okay, the most important thing is to participate, just work hard."

After finishing talking, Teacher Zou glanced at the girls on the scene, and said reproachfully: "Look at the attitude of Shu Mengfei, and then look at your attitude. As I said, this chorus is not just about singing. It's that simple. The most important thing is that you have to have the spirit of unity and cooperation. This is the meaning of chorus. You guys, instead of complaining here, it is better to learn more from Shu Mengfei."

The girls didn't care, and some even rolled their eyes.

Teacher Zou patted Shu Mengfei's shoulder, and comforted: "Don't put too much pressure on it. It's really impossible. When we are on stage, we will play music accompaniment, and you can just do it."

These words hit Shu Mengfei's arms, and she immediately assured the teacher: "Mr. Zou, I must practice hard!"

At the door, Jian Yao whispered to Lu Yan: "Now I know why she can stay in the chorus even though she can't play the piano."

Lu Yan nodded.

She has seen Shu Mengfei's wrists a long time ago. No matter what era, Shu Mengfei's soft and "inspiring hard work" small white flower design will always be popular and always popular.

Jian Yao pushed the door in, pulled Lu Yan into the classroom, and said to Teacher Zou: "Teacher, I found a classmate who can play the piano, or you can let her try."

The moment Shu Mengfei saw Lu Yan, his face became very ugly.

Of course, Teacher Zou knew Lu Yan. In the last Rookie Cup competition, Lu Yan took the first place first, and his sweet and moving voice made him very impressed.

"It's Lu Yan, can you play the piano?"

Lu Yan replied, "I will, teacher."

Without waiting for Teacher Zou’s answer, Jian Yao immediately pushed Lu Yan to the piano, pulled Shu Mengfei away, and sat down on Lu Yan’s shoulders, and said, “No matter what, it’s here. Try it first.” "Night of the Military Port", will it play?"

"Just have a score."

"some."

Jian Yao found the piano score from the shelf, enthusiastically placed the score in front of Lu Yan, and whispered to her: "Come on, kill her."

Lu Yan looked at the score, five fingers fell on the keys, and the intro melody played out skillfully and smoothly.

The girls in the choir began to hum to the tune, and the girl in charge of the conductor immediately waved their arms, so the girls let go of their voices and sang to the melody.

The first time there was no interruption at all, from beginning to end, no one was half-beat slow or half-beat fast.

The first time it was able to cooperate so tacitly, I think it should be because Lu Yan's rhythm is maintained well, and it won't be stumbling like Shu Mengfei.

After the end, Jian Yao quickly asked Teacher Zou: "Teacher, what do you think?"

"Well, Lu Yan plays the piano very well."

"That......"

Seeing Teacher Zou's embarrassment, Shu Mengfei seemed to be a little shaken, and said quickly: "Teacher, it would be great if Lu Yan is willing to help. I will ask her for more advice. If she is willing to teach me, the school will celebrate. I will definitely try my best to play this song smoothly."

Dissatisfaction appeared on the faces of the girls in the choir. It was obvious that Jian Yao brought Lu Yan here, not for her to teach Shu Mengfei to play the piano.

Teacher Zou frowned when Shu Mengfei said this.

On the one hand, it would be great if Lu Yan could play the piano for this chorus. You can take office almost without running-in. With this strong support, the chorus will definitely make a good start in the school celebration.

But on the other hand, as a teacher, he couldn't bear to discourage students' enthusiasm. After all, Shu Mengfei seemed to really want to play the piano during the school celebration.

Although she is not capable, she works very hard!

Such hard-working students are not only liked by Teacher Zou, but by any teacher.

Teacher Zou asked tentatively: "Lu Yan, you are willing to teach Shu Mengfei..."

"Unwilling." Lu Yan refused.

She was spoiled by her father since she was a child.

"Ms. Zou, I have a very tight learning task, and I don’t have much time to teach others. Moreover, I don’t just teach the piano twice. I practice it in a few days. I have been in touch with piano since I was eight years old. More than two hours."

She glanced at Shu Mengfei and said calmly: "If you want to present a better version of yourself on stage, you can only take a down-to-earth path. There is no shortcut."

It's not that you can fool around by just showing off your cleverness.

Jian Yao hugged her elbow, leaned against the piano, and said casually: "The audience is not stupid. They can tell whether they are really playing or accompaniment."

As the instructor of the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment, Ms. Zou certainly hopes that the school celebration chorus will come to a successful conclusion, without any accidents.

After considering the pros and cons before and after, he could only turn around and said to Shu Mengfei: "Student Shu Mengfei, I know you worked very hard, but this time you play the piano, let Student Lu Yan do it."

Shu Mengfei's eyes were disappointed, and her eyes were red. She pursed her lips and nodded aggrieved: "Mr. Zou, I know that classmate Lu Yan plays piano better than me. This kind of thing doesn't matter what I do. I don’t have any hard work, and those who can live there, I understand..."

The girls around saw her gritted teeth and pursed her mouth, her eyes almost turned to the sky, while the boys in the choir saw Shu Mengfei's pitiful appearance, all of them were too weak, and their desire for protection rose up- —

"Obviously, Shu Mengfei has already been scheduled before, so it's not good to change people casually."

"Yeah, sir, I think Shu Meng is a good player, but I can't hear the difference anyway."

The girls immediately retorted: "Please, she can't even play a complete tune. How could it be the same, Wang Qiang, your **** is too crooked."

Wang Qiang murmured: "It was originally, Shu Mengfei is so pitiful, let her play the piano."

Jian Yao sneered and said: "Wang Qiang, you think she is pitiful. You can go to the college entrance examination for her and help her get into Tsinghua and Peking University, so she won't be pitiful."

The boy named Wang Qiang blushed, irrefutable, he could only shut his mouth in a whisper.

Teacher Zou looked at Shu Mengfei, who was teary-eyed, and then at Lu Yan, falling into a dilemma.

Lu Yan shrugged and said, "Mr. Zou, since classmate Shu Mengfei insists on doing this, let her play."

She turned around to leave, and the girls immediately quit, and said, "If that's the case, then we won't sing anymore. If the boys want to sing, they just sing to her tune."

Teacher Zou still hopes that the choir will have a better performance in the school celebration, so he said: "Let’s do it, student Lu Yan, you still do the piano play. You have been working hard these days, student Shu Mengfei, If you want, stay in the choir and work with everyone to sing the song "Night of the Army Port" well."

Shu Mengfei's face sank, of course she didn't want to drown in the chorus.

She would either not do it, or she would have to do the one that was highly anticipated, so she rejected Teacher Zou's proposal at the moment.

Walking out of the activity center, Jian Yao said to Lu Yan: "Just like Shu Mengfei, she is clever, but she is actually stupid. She really thinks that Teacher Zou will sell her casually because of her, so she can really get her on stage."

Lu Yan looked at Jian Yao incomprehensibly.

“I didn’t find a more suitable candidate before, but now you’re here, Teacher Zou will not let her come on stage anyway, because this school celebration chorus is directly linked to the teacher’s year-end bonus. This is a matter of direct interest, even if Teacher Zou fights I am inclined to her in my heart, and I will definitely put my interests first."

Before, Lu Yan looked at her mother's yellowed photos, thinking that her mother was a particularly innocent girl. And now, she discovered that this girl who can be called "Jian Ye" by many unruly teenagers is definitely not an innocent girl in the ivory tower who knows nothing about the world.

She has been in contact with society very early, and she is well versed in humanity.

However, how does such a cool girl who seems to be absolutely unmatched with her silly big dad rubbed sparks with Lu Zhen, and she was so in love with her that she would never forget her for the rest of her life.

Lu Yan was really curious about what happened between them.

After school, Shen Kuo rarely came to the classroom to find Lu Yan.

Lu Yan's class was not over yet, so he simply stood by the corridor and waited for her patiently.

Many girls have noticed Shen Kuo.

He is wearing a refreshing white shirt, his slender arms are casually put in his trouser pockets, and he is leaning lazily against the fence of the corridor. The afterglow of the setting sun covers his broad side face, and his coffee-colored eyes are slightly faint in the sun. .

He had no expression, and there was an inexplicable cold feeling all over his body.

In class, most of the girls always glance at Shen Kuo intentionally or unintentionally, and their attention is all attracted by him.

Boys like Shen Kuo, both in character and temperament, deviate too far from the mainstream aesthetic. Therefore, girls always say that this is not good, that is not good...

But in fact, when he was caught off guard to break into their sight, they still inevitably felt like a deer.

Shen Kuo was full of fatal attraction, but unlike Lu Zhen, he was handsome and the sun was shining brightly.

He is the kind of abject... an expression, even a look in his eyes, can make people dizzy and feel like first love.

Soon, the end of class bell rang, and Lu Yan could no longer sit still, packed her little schoolbag, like a young bird throwing a forest...pounced towards Shen Kuo.

She is wearing a clean light T-shirt with black trousers, with scorpion tail braids, refreshing and everyday.

Perhaps because of the lack of air circulation in the classroom, there was a trace of blush in her white cheeks, and her earlobes were also red, so cute.

Shen Kuo's expression unconsciously slowed down, stretched out his index finger, held the little girl's eyebrows, and separated her a few steps.

"Um..." Lu Yan didn't know why.

Shen Kuo looked around, gave her a raised look, then turned and left.

Lu Yan understood the meaning in his eyes.

He asked her to follow him, but don't be too obvious, keep a little distance.

Yes, this is the school.

You know, no matter that era, girls' curiosity for gossip will never diminish.

Even a person like Lu Yan who doesn't like to be nosy, can hear her deskmate Qi Yuhuan talking in her ears every day, who and who in which class is together.

Lu Yan watched his tall and tall figure walk down the stairs and out of the teaching building. She walked half a metre behind him, obediently, like a little tail, and went out of campus with him.

After leaving the gate of the school, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, speeding up and coming to his side.

Shen Kuo is tall, especially with a pair of big long legs, very seductive, so he takes a long step. Lu Yan obviously couldn't keep up with him, and she almost took a trot to barely follow him.

Soon, Shen Kuo realized the predicament of the little girl. He didn't say anything, but slowed down the feet and slowed down the speed so that Lu Yan could walk side by side with him.

Shen Kuo obviously has no love experience at all, or even experience of getting along with girls at all.

So he didn't realize many things at first, such as walking too fast and the girl around him would not be able to keep up, but he was willing to learn slowly.

Lu Yan asked him curiously, "Where are we going, Shen Kuo?"

Shen Kuo did not answer directly, only said: "Take you to a place."

"where?"

"I'll know when I go."

"All right."

Lu Yan followed him respectfully and walked toward the front of the road with him. The two of them passed through the street that was being demolished, and then passed the large commercial market lined with shops.

When crossing the road, after waiting for the traffic lights, Shen Kuo stopped. After waiting for about half a minute, the pedestrian's green light turned on, and he unconsciously took the slender wrist of the girl next to him.

Lu Yan trembled all over and looked at him sensitively.

Without any expression, he looked straight ahead, pulled her to speed up, crossed the road with the flow of people, and then naturally let go.

It's like her father led her across the road when she was young.

Lu Yan bowed her head, pursing her lips and smiling slightly.

Lu Zhen always said, "If you like playing with Shen Kuo so much, then go and be his daughter."

It was hard for Lu Yan to imagine what it would be like to be her daughter Uncle Shen, but now she feels a little bit.

Shen Kuo is not a man without emotions, but his emotions are deep, deep and long.

He won’t say it, but if he loves you, you will definitely feel...

Just when Lu Yan was thinking about it, Shen Kuo stopped.

The little girl almost ran into him, quickly stabilized her pace, and looked up around her.

It is already on the edge of the suburbs, surrounded by weeds, and above the shrubs in front are railroad tracks that are not blocked by barbed wire.

In the distance, the green hills are lush and green, the railroad tracks are covered with small white stones, and the long track extends to the invisible distance.

Shen Kuo stepped onto the shrubbery in two steps, then stood by the rails, looking back at her——

"come over."

Lu Yan looked around, feeling as if she was doing something bad, to see if there were any rail managers.

Obviously, there are few people around, except for the two of them, no one else.

At that time, railway control was not strict, and no overpass was built, so pedestrians could walk on the rails at will.

However, Shen Kuo didn't let her stand on the rails, but on the concrete walkway between the two rails.

Shen Kuo bent over and snapped a section of green grass stalk, held it in his mouth, stepped on the slender railroad track, and walked slowly

It's rare to see him in such a relaxed appearance, with some scumbags that are rarely seen in ordinary days, but also a little more juvenile.

Lu Yan walked beside him, letting one of his hands support her thin and narrow shoulders to keep her balance.

"Shen Kuo, what are you taking me here for?"

Shen Kuo replied casually: "There is no one here."

No one was around, not even a bird was seen, it was quiet, there was nothing except the whirring wind.

"Why go to a place where there is no one."

"What do you say?"

After he said this, Lu Yan's ears suddenly turned red.

She realized with hindsight that they should be... dating.

Realizing this problem, the atmosphere suddenly became tense and ambiguous.

The main reason was that Lu Yan was nervous. Shen Kuo supported her shoulders and could clearly feel her body tighten.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Who...who's afraid." The girl squatted, her tongue almost knotted: "I'm not afraid."

Don't you just go on a date?

Lu Yan followed him, her heart pounding.

Although they have been alone before, neither of them has deliberately...find a place where there is no one.

Lu Yan didn't know what would happen in a while, nervous and scared... but he was a little expectant.

She lowered her head and began to pay attention to what she was wearing.

There was no dressing at all, and the dress was very ordinary and everyday, because he did not expect that he would call her out. The third party was so busy, Lu Yan hadn’t seen anyone else for several days, and the two could only talk on the phone or at night. Send a text message to make sure that the other party is still alive...

"Don't be nervous." Shen Kuo seemed to see through her mind and comforted softly: "I can't do anything."

As soon as he said this, Lu Yan's entire face flushed with "brushing".

She... she didn't expect to do anything!

No!

"Let's go, chat for a while." Shen Kuo said casually: "It's very quiet here."

It turned out that "no one here" means this, Lu Yan thinks too much.

She shrugged indifferently.

It is a happy thing to be with the person you like, even if you just walk around and chat.

Lu Yan walked beside him docilely, letting him put his shoulders.

Shen Kuo touched the schoolbag bag and then noticed that Lu Yan was still carrying a heavy shoulder schoolbag.

He immediately took off her schoolbag and hung it on his left shoulder.

Lu Yan smiled and said, "It's the first time you've become a boyfriend for someone."

Shen Kuo looked at the railroad tracks under his feet and responded softly: "Well, you are my first girl."

A warm breeze brushed her cheeks, and she felt that her heart was trapped in a light gauze, very comfortable.

Knowing the future, she is so lucky to be Shen Kuo's "first".

"Then can I be your only one, Shen Kuo?"

The little girl asked these words awkwardly, she became embarrassed first, yelled "Oh," and ran away a few steps.

Why did she ask such nasty words! are you crazy!

Suddenly, Shen Kuo lost support, jumped off the rails, landed lightly, and looked at the girl.

The girl squatted in the stone ditch, covering her face, too embarrassed.

"I didn't hear it! You just pretend that you didn't hear anything!"

The corners of Shen Kuo's mouth slowly opened and smiled, and the tone rose: "Promise you."

She let go of her hand and raised her red face to look at him. Behind him is a flowing cloud burned red by the setting sun, like a splendid and grand oil painting.

"Promise you, from now on, you will be my only girl."

Forever, there will never be a second one.

Lu Yan looked at his dark eyes, with a firm and decisive light shining in them.

She was startled suddenly.

After his father went bankrupt, Lu Yan collected all the news about Shen Kuo from the public media in order to "know oneself and the enemy."

Shen Kuo remained unmarried in his middle age, cleansed himself up, and never even became drunk even after being drunk.

He was once interviewed by a financial program, and he was once asked if he ever wanted to end his single life and find a partner to spend the rest of his life with.

Lu Yan vaguely remembered that what Shen Kuo said was--

"I once promised someone to be the only one in my life."
