Love Scenery
Chapter 18 The Eighteenth Gun
When the autumn breeze started, Nanda's ginkgo leaves fell colorfully, laying a golden carpet on the long avenue.
The students holding books stepped on the fallen leaves in groups of two, making a rustling sound.
Liang Chen's car slowly passed Ginkgo Avenue, pressing two lanes on the dense golden carpet.
Liang Chen half rolled down the car window and lifted his sunglasses with his index finger.
The main road of Nantah University is full of banners and small flags, and school celebration posters are posted everywhere, with lights and festoons, which look like Chinese New Year.There are also many volunteers wearing red vests standing in groups on the side of the road to show the way to the old alumni returning to school.
Seeing these volunteers, Liang Chen thought of his fans.
She turned her head and asked Yuan Keke: "Have you been arranged? Don't let the fans come to the school for support."
Yuan Keke contacted the president of Liang Chen's Fan Support Club three days ago and promised that there would be no large-scale support incidents.
"I've said it a long time ago. You can see that the school will be celebrated tomorrow, and there is no poster of yours in the school. Don't worry.
Liang Chen nodded in satisfaction, rolled the window, and when he saw that the driver was about to turn left, he quickly said: "You don't have to turn, go straight, just turn around in the small square in front. It's not convenient to turn around here."
The driver Liu followed the path pointed out by Liang Chen and said: "A few years after graduation, you are quite familiar with the roads of Nanda."
Liang Chen gave a hum, took off his sunglasses, handed them to Yuan Keke to put them away, and got off the car.
The venue for the rehearsal is at the Nanda Gymnasium. Today is the last rehearsal for the school celebration party. The sound and lighting are all available, and all the performers are in place.When Liang Chen's car stopped at the back entrance of the gymnasium, he could already hear the sound of music in the hall, the sound of the director holding a topic and the loud music.
The secretary of the school league committee led someone to greet him at the passageway. Liang Chen got out of the car and greeted him. As the secretary walked in, the student volunteers who followed him could not take out their phones to take photos. They were all blushing with excitement. Own behavior, but the narrow passage is still full of people in an instant.
There were not many people brought by Liang Chen, and they all followed the League Committee into the background.
There is no special dressing room for the school celebration party. All the performers on stage are crowded in the gymnasium, dressed in various stage costumes, and they look pretty lively.
Liang Chen caused quite a stir when she came in, but the school soon took her to the temporary lounge behind the stage. Several stage display boards were placed, which unconsciously blocked many eyes.
The students are not as crazy as the star chasers. At best, they stand far away and take pictures with their mobile phones, not daring to squeeze in.
The people brought by Liang Chen were negotiating with the director of the party. After listening to the general situation, she subconsciously looked at the crowd.
I don't know if Lu Jing will be inside.
Most of the onlookers in front were the student actors who were going to rehearse today, all of them stretched their necks and looked in.
Tell Liang Chen directly that Lu Jing could not be in this group of people.
The others are volunteers and the staff of the student union, all with signs on their chests.Liang Chen glanced, everyone was still childish, standing beside her was the little brother and sister.
She still told her intuitively that there was no Lu Jing among these ordinary people.
Her gaze patrolled around the gymnasium, collecting every face in her eyes, but a strange feeling spread in her heart, scouring her two-day expectations.
It wasn't for anything else, or it was a sudden feeling that along the way, the students in Nantah University were too immature, and some even carried high school schoolbags.
Isn't Lu Jing also a student?
Perhaps, standing in front of her, her hair is lush and messy, her forehead might have pimples, the zipper of the sweatshirt is half pulled, revealing the collar of the sweater that is not used, maybe she says "Senior Sister".
What is she thinking of Xiao, a student who is not too young?
ill.
Liang Chen laughed at himself, tightened the zipper on his neckline, put his hands in his clothes bag, and listened carefully to the director's arrangement.But no matter how hard I force myself, I still can't control the aftermath of glances at the door.
She kept telling herself that she had no other thoughts, just wanted to see what Lu Jing looked like.
Suddenly, the phone in the bag vibrated and it was my mother's call.
Liang Chen made a gesture to Yuan Keke and the director, and walked to the corner of the gymnasium to answer the phone.
Liang Chen sniffed and said, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Mother's voice with a southern accent came into her ears: "Chenchen, is your dad so angry that he is drinking alcohol alone now?"
It's not time for dinner now, and my father is drunk alone, and he seems to be really angry.
Liang Chen knew what her father was up to. She said, "Don't you let him take care of him so that he can be okay and get online?"
"Where did I take care of this? And I'm so angry, what do you think these young people are doing now? Don't you know how to respect people through a network cable? I think the teacher taught them to study for nothing!"
The mother's voice was already filled with anger, and there was also the sound of tapping the table.
Which parent is not angry when he sees his daughter’s private life being ridiculed on the Internet?Liang Chen's father is already educated for drinking boring wine by himself, but he can't find anyone even if he rolls up his sleeves.After all, separated by a network cable, who knows whether the other party is a human or a dog.
Liang Chen had to pretend to be indifferent and said: "Oh, mom, please persuade Dad not to get angry. These netizens are bored all day long and do nothing, so they will stop after a few days.
Liang Chen didn't expect his nonchalant tone to irritate his mother even more, and the voice on the phone suddenly became sharp, "Why are you a girl who doesn't care about her reputation? It can be tolerated by this kind of thing. Why? Why don't you take any action? You are a big star anyway, and you can't settle this matter?"
Liang Chen smiled helplessly, just because he was a big star, he was even more helpless in the face of such things.
Some celebrities have been blacked out by rumors for a lifetime and still can't turn around. Who can she talk to about this matter?
"Mom, do you think I'm happy? This is someone who has a long mouth, and the network cable is in another person's house. Whatever they like, can I manage it? Even if I manage it, is it possible to find a lawyer to sue them one by one Go? Don’t say, with so many people producing jokes, I can sue me for bankruptcy if I sue them one by one."
"You, you, this..." Mom had nothing to say, and she couldn't say a word after choking for a long time, so the conversation could only end in an anguish.
Liang Chen hung up the phone, returning his attention to him, feeling a look behind him.
She turned around and saw a girl looking at herself timidly, holding a thermos cup in her hand.
It turned out that she was standing at the door of the pantry and blocking the way.
The girl wriggled her lips twice, tangling her name.
Of course she knew it was Liang Chen, but she didn't know how to call it.Senior sister?Do you think she is close?Miss Liang?The little girl who has just turned 20 can't adapt to such a socialized name.
Just as she was tossing in her mind to search for address words, Liang Chen glanced at the sign on her chest.
Zhou Xiaohuan, deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee.
Liang Chen understood that this was the most powerful official among the students now, but the appearance of this girl was beyond her imagination.When she was in college, all the deputy secretaries of the Youth League Committee she met were very mature, young, and she was a big official, and this girl was as she named, clean and tidy, and she was a bit shy, especially her big eyes. Intriguing.
"Sorry—"
The two said these four words at the same time.
Zhou Xiaohuan was stunned again, his cheeks flushed suddenly.
Liang Chen laughed and said, "Sorry, I didn't know I was blocking your way."
Zhou Xiaohuan immediately bowed at a ninety degree, the ponytail flung from the back of her head to her forehead, and then followed her upright waist and drew an arc in the air, returning to the original point, "Sorry! I didn't mean to listen to your call. !"
Why is it such a big deal?
Liang Chen couldn't help but touched the top of her head, "It's okay, go ahead."
This cute and innocent little girl should be of the same age as Lu Jing, and both are still childish children.Thinking of this, Liang Chen was even more melancholy.
Zhou Xiaohuan was frightened by this sudden touch, and in the next second, he was flattered and dazzled.
She watched Liang Chen go, and then regained her senses stupidly, screaming all the way to the stage.
A group of people were waiting for her to arrange work, but she went around alone.
A guy from the basketball department of the Physical Education College directly raised his hand and pressed her on top of her head to force her to stop, "Zhou Xiaohuan, are you crazy?"
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Zhou Xiaohuan clenched his fists with both hands, sticking to his cheeks, "Liang Chen just talked to me! He touched my hair!"
The crowd immediately boiled and asked Zhou Xiaohuan about the details.
Although Zhou Xiaohuan didn't know the details of touching her hair, she was still ready to satisfy everyone's curiosity.But at this time, the director suddenly shouted with the microphone, "Zhou Xiaohuan! What are you doing around there? Have you checked the guest seat card? Have the flowers come out?"
Zhou Xiaohuan was taken aback and resumed his work in an instant. He pointed to a person in the crowd and shouted, "Lu Jing! Where are you going? Come and walk!"
Lu Jing, who was stepping behind the scenes, stopped, thinking about whether to continue the past, Zhou Xiaohuan flashed beside him and pulled him onto the stage, "Where is Qi Qi? Wasn't she here just now? People?"
"Come on!" Qi Qi stepped onto the stage with her skirt, stood in front of Lu Jing slowly, patted her chest with her right hand, "Good senior."
"Hello." Lu Jing said.
Qi Qi lowered her head, tucked the scattered hair on the sideburns behind her ears, and whispered: "Senior, you will be in charge of the bouquet for a while, can I get souvenirs?"
Lu Jingtou said yes.
Qi Qi smiled, her cheeks flushed, she bit her lower lip, and stopped talking.
Seeing Qi Qi couldn't utter a word for a long time, Lu Jing turned to look at the stage with his hands in his pants pockets.
Zhou Xiaohuan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with a bunch of plastic bouquets in his hand, and in Lujing's hands, "Senior, hold this flower first. We will take it back after the rehearsal for a while."
She held a blue-and-white box in her other hand with a celebration souvenir, "Qiqi, hold this one, be careful, there is glass inside, don't drop it."
Qi Qi took the souvenir box, but looked at the flower in Lu Jing's hand, and said, "Why is this flower made of plastic?"
Zhou Xiaohuan said: "Senior Sister Liang Chen is allergic to pollen, and we specially prepared plastic flowers."
After the things were distributed, Zhou Xiaohuan clasped his palms together and shouted, "Senior Sister Liang Chen will be on the stage, you will wait on the other side of the steps. When the song is over, you will go up and you have to leave the stage before the music stops completely, you know?"
Qi Qi said yes, and asked Lu Jing by the way: "Senior, what are you wearing tomorrow?"
Someone started to adjust the audio, and the familiar prelude sounded. Lu Jing's eyes couldn't leave the stage for a second. He raised his chin, and his height advantage allowed him to cross the crowd and see the stage in full.
At this time, Qi Qi asked again: "Senior, what will you wear tomorrow? Will you wear formal clothes?"
Lu Jing said casually: "Wear whatever you like."
Qi Qi moved a step in front of him, "Then...I plan to wear a white dress, can you also wear a light-colored dress?"
Lu Jing looked at Qi Qi in horror. His expression made Qi Qi anxious, "Is there a problem?"
"Isn't it cold?" Lu Jing said, "Isn't it cold in a skirt this weather?"
Qi Qi realized the reason for Lu Jing's horror, her heart warmed, and immediately lowered her head, "It's not cold."
The crowd suddenly became agitated, and Lu Jing immediately looked at the stage-before the huge curtain, Liang Chen looked very thin.She was wearing a high-waisted slim-fit sweater with a waist exposed at the butt of the woolen skirt. Not surprisingly, her legs were bare and she stepped on a pair of short boots.
Woman, Lu Jing looked cold.
Liang Chen stood on the edge of the stage and listened to the director. Someone passed a microphone. Liang Chen smiled and nodded, and then continued to communicate with the director.
Holding the flower in one hand, Lu Jing pulled the crowd away and walked to the stage.
The passages were full of performance props, and the students squeezed one by one in the only gap. Every step of Lu Jing was extremely difficult, and he had to spot where he could go before he could move forward.
When he was only three to five meters away from the stage, the stage lights suddenly lit up, shaking his eyes.
He looked up, Liang Chen under the spotlight walked to the center of the stage, took the microphone, and said, "Hello, boys and girls!"
The stage cheered and thunderous applause.
Liang Chen walked forward two steps, his eyes filled with smiles.The lights changed and the music started. She held the microphone and immediately entered the state.
The song selected by Liang Chen is an inspirational song "When I am Seventeen" from his second album since his debut. It is most suitable to sing on occasions like school celebrations.When she sang the first sentence, a few active students sang along.They adjusted the atmosphere, and when Liang Chen sang the chorus, almost everyone sang along.
Except for Lu Jing.
He looked up at the center of the stage, but took two steps back.
Some people seem to be born with radiance, and everyone's attention is inherent in her.In the face of a sparse audience, she still showed great energy, like holding a concert in the Ten Thousand People Stadium, and the stars hold the moon.
Lu Jing looked at Liang Chen on the stage and sighed sincerely—not a thousand-year box essence.
At the end of the song, there was no problem with the stage effect and the sound ear return. Liang Chen said "ok" to the tuner, and when he turned around, he saw a man and a woman walking towards her side by side.
The girls are beautiful and generous, but Yan Kong Liang Chen finally put his eyes on the boys.
Liang Chen recognized him by just looking at him. He was the boy he had seen in the car last time.He is tall and straight, with a clean temperament, and his facial features are even more difficult to choose. Compared with the students who come and go in the academy, it is simply the difference between the style of Hayao Miyazaki's comics and the runaway comics.
Such a glance is worthy of the term "sweeping glimpse".Unexpectedly, they met again today, Liang Chen felt that the two were destined.
The girl in front of her was really seductive, and when she handed her a souvenir, Liang Chen said, "The school girl is so beautiful, is it our Nannan University flower?"
Qi Qi is accustomed to such praise, but Liang Chen praised her this time. She immediately said embarrassedly: "Where is there, I...I'm just ordinary."
Thinking that the boy was still aside, Liang Chen looked at him, saw his eyes burning, and his heart was itchy inexplicably. He lowered his eyes and said, "I have worked hard to learn."
The boy's hand holding the bouquet stopped inexplicably.
Liang Chen thought he was excited and stupid, so he took the flower from his hand and said again: "Thanks for your hard work."
The boy opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, the director suddenly walked to the bottom of the stage and shouted: "You two exit! The host comes out quickly! Don't be cold, don't be cold! How many times have you said it!"
Zhou Xiaohuan was originally watching from below, but when he heard the director yell, he ran up to the stage and pointed to the right step and said, "You get down here, the host hastened to follow!"
Liang Chen's attention returned to herself. When the host walked over, she stood in the middle cooperatively. When she was looking at the desk notebook, she couldn't resist distraction and looked to the right.
The boy was led off the stage by Zhou Xiaohuan, seemingly instinctive. Looking back, the two of them met.
Liang Chen looked back in a hurry like a Xiao Jiujiu who was smashed by someone, and read each word according to the table.
The sentence is blunt, and the cover is too strong.
