Our Days Together (2)

  "...But, sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, who is willing to be slaughtered like pigs and sheep..."

  As a reciter and lead singer, Li Xue and another boy performed exceptionally well, the music teacher who accompanied them also played with great enthusiasm, however, my attention was more focused on someone else.

  The man in the black Zhongshan suit, Wei Xingyun, was standing beside me. I had to tilt my head up by about 45° to sneak a glance at his profile out of the corner of my eye. Thankfully, his expression was calm and his eyes were cast downward, not looking towards the podium.

  "Hey Xingyun, are you nervous?" I asked him in a low voice.

  "It's okay, playing the piano doesn't require facing an audience." He replied softly.

  "It's good that you don't have to face the audience, otherwise the flashes of light coming from below would definitely distract you."

  "Huh?"

  "Oh, the crown of the Mediterranean."

  Wei Xingyun almost couldn't hold back her laughter, we turned our heads at the same time, and Mediterranean was hugging his arms chatting with the teacher next to him, his bright head was particularly eye-catching. We exchanged a smile, everything was self-evident, haha.

  "......Next, let's enjoy an ancient war song brought by Class 2 of Grade 9 (14) ——"

  Yes, the ancient Qin dynasty's battlefield song "No Clothes", according to our previous rehearsal, we walked up to the podium with our eyes straight ahead.

  Some people already knew our song, but with only a few rehearsals in the small woods east of school, hardly anyone else knew how to sing it. That's exactly what we wanted - that air of mystery.

  I bowed to everyone, without any opening remarks, turned around, with my back to the audience, raised both hands, and made a pose.

  Perhaps it was curiosity, or perhaps it was being infected by our collective solemnity, but the audience below fell silent.

  Suddenly, a melodious tune flowed from Weixingyun's hands.

  Dignified, slow, yet very powerful. After the prelude, Wei Xingyun nodded at me.

  I waved goodbye.

  Is it said that I have no clothes? I share a cloak with you. The king is about to raise an army, sharpen my spear and halberd! I share a common enemy with you!

  Is it said there is no clothing? Share with you the same blessings. The king will rise to action, sharpening my spear and halberd. Let's work together!

  Is it said I have no clothes? I share a cloak with you. The king is about to raise an army, repair our armor and weapons. Let's go together!

  In just sixty short words, we sang three times. The first time was gentle, the second time was loud and clear, and the third time was passionate. The howling wind not only wasn't noise, but became our background music, adding a few more melancholic feelings.

  Until the singing stopped abruptly, the air still echoed with reverberations, and suddenly someone reacted: "Ah! This is the school song!"

  That's right, it's the tune of the adapted school song. This classmate isn't bad at listening! Although our expressions on stage didn't change, our eyes were full of pride.

  I winked at everyone, turned around, took a bow, and the applause was thunderous.

  No one saw me, with my head hung low, trying to hold back laughter, my face turned red.

  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a look at Wei Xingyun.

  He hasn't played the piano in a long time, and his fingers that used to dance on the keys are now typing away on the keyboard. He doesn't know that in my drawer, there's a card with 1,700 yuan saved up, which I started saving from my first part-time job in college. I've always been careless with money, so the growth has been slow over the years. But I really plan to, one day, when I save enough, buy a piano that belongs just to us two.

  He teaches, I learn.

  My dream as a Jianghu artist has long changed. For me, where there is Wei Xingyun, that's my world. My Jianghu is just Wei Xingyun, only Wei Xingyun.

  At this warm and nostalgic moment, I actually didn't want to bring it up, but back then I almost fell into a pit due to being too proud. However, at the critical moment, it was Wei Xingyun who pulled me back, so I'll give him some praise for his quick thinking and agility.

  Thanks to our bold and creative ideas, we also managed to flatter the school while stirring up controversy, and ended up becoming the dark horse that took home the championship.

  Round 1: Xia Miomi VS Li Xue, Xia Miomi wins. Oh yeah!

  It's precisely because of controversy that things become popular!

  Now thinking about it, the student era was the most innocent, with only a basketball as a prize for the competition, and we could spend so much energy on it, think of so many tricks, and do so much secret work. I suddenly feel grateful that I have been to this world.

  If I hadn't been there, how could I have had those wonderful moments, experienced those innocent years, and walked through that most beautiful time? But those times are already gone.

  I recall the sunshine back then, the sparkling sweat on our foreheads, and Wei Xingyun's shining eyes. Suddenly, I feel a little grateful.

  After all this journey, it has left an indelible memory in his life.

  I have been here, I am fine.

  Just as I was still basking in the glory of my small victory, my dear classmate Zhou Shuangshuang let me experience what it means to be struck by a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

  She ran away from home!

  I vividly remember that it was the day before National Day holiday, we were happily cleaning the classroom because of the excitement for the upcoming long holiday.

  Wei Xingyun, tall and slender, was in charge of wiping the glass. He stood on the windowsill, and the light suddenly dimmed. I quietly moved over and pretended to be unintentionally standing in his shadow, secretly rejoicing at my little action.

  Just as I was standing in the corridor, back and forth sweeping the floor behind Wei Xingyun until it was spotless, a girl from Zhou Shuang's class came over and quietly handed me a letter.

  "Zhou Shuangshuang asked me to give it to you when school lets out quickly."

  I'm delighted to think about it, it's really interesting, we haven't exchanged letters for a long time.

  The first sentence on the letter is: Mengmeng, I'm gone, don't worry about me...

  The broom in my hand fell to the ground with a "slap", and I felt like I had been struck by lightning.

  Wei Xingyun heard the sound and suddenly turned his head, "What's wrong?"

  I blankly raised the letter in my hand and said in a difficult small voice: "Zhou Shuangshuang has run away from home..."

  "What?" Wei Xingyun hadn't even spoken yet when another shocking voice came from behind, I turned my head back and it was Yang Can with a dumbfounded expression.

  The letter was simple, and the general idea was that her boyfriend's parents had divorced, given him a sum of money to live on his own, and he decided to use this money to do some small business. Zhou Shuangshuang really couldn't bear to part with him, so after considering it for a while, she finally decided to leave with him together.

  Finally, Zhou Shuangshuang wrote very optimistically, anyway, now is a good time for vacation, if the situation is not optimistic after going out, you can come back, just think of it as having gone out to play.

  After finishing reading the letter, Wei Xingyun raised his head and looked at me with a puzzled expression, "Xia Mi Mi, has she always been so naive?"

  I shook my head randomly and looked at them in a daze: "What should we do now?"

  "What to do? Look for it!" Yang Can stamped her foot.

  I was so anxious I almost cried out loud, "Where can I find it?"

  "Don't be in a hurry, calm down," Wei Xingyun patted my arm, "think about it, who else is Zhou Shuangshuang's friend? Or, do you know any of her boyfriend's friends?"

  I finally found a clue, "Lu Minran, they knew each other through Lu Minran."

  We didn't even have time to put away the brooms, dropped our tools and rushed out of the classroom in a flash.

  The author has something to say: Haha, "Time" is finally written!

  Twenty days of continuous revision... I'm going to collapse...

  All I can say is... The content has increased a lot! Added tens of thousands of words! Looks much better now!

  How embarrassing... Really shameless... Praising oneself
