318,——The thirty-fourth cannon fodder——(1/3)
Chapter 4
Xiao Cheng said "Oh" and started eating. After he finished eating, Yin Xiamo asked him to go back to his room to sleep.
At this time, there were only two people here, Yin Xiamo and Luo Xi. Luo Xi put down his chopsticks, looked at Yin Xiamo calmly and said, "Do you have something to say to me?"
"Where did you go tonight?" Yin Xiamo asked straight to the point without mincing words.
"Didn't I tell you that I was looking at the stars outside?" Luo Xi looked at Yin Xiamo with clear eyes, as if everything he said was true, but in fact, only Luo Xi could tell whether it was true or false.
Just known.
Yin Xiamo said with cold eyes: "I don't care where you have gone, but I warn you, don't worry your parents. If they worry because of you, I don't mind letting everyone know your secret."
"Oh, what secret do I have? Why don't I know about it?"
"You can try, I always keep my word." Yin Xiamo got up and went back to the room. Luo Xi looked at the leftovers on the table and sneered.
Did Yin Xiamo's self-righteous threat really think it would have any effect on him? Why was she still so naive? His secret couldn't last long. Sooner or later it would be revealed, and he didn't care who revealed it.
Even if it is revealed, so what, the worst case scenario is that we can just live the same life with nothing as before.
He has already endured the most painful things in the world, and there is nothing he cannot bear. He is fearless.
Today, he didn't go to see the starry sky at all, but followed the two people by accident, watching them holding hands on the street, laughing and talking, as if they were the only two people in their world, happy and loving.
He doesn't understand why there are so many happy people in this world. Where does their happiness come from? Is it because they are not orphans?
Could it be that as an orphan, he is destined to receive such unequal treatment?
Luo Xi couldn't understand, and no one in this world would give him the answer except himself.
The drama performance was a success, and then the exams began. For the students of the aristocratic school, the exams were just a formality. What they wanted to learn was never the theories in the textbooks. They needed more.
Something more effective.
After passing the exam, it was summer. Taomi spent every summer in various courses. In the past two years, Yao's mother often took her to participate in many competitions. In Yao's mother's words; "
The ranking is second, what I want is for my daughter to be able to withstand the battlefield for a long time, so that she will not be confused when facing big things in the future."
Even though she said this, Yao's mother still hoped that Taomi could have a good ranking, which Taomi could see.
When the exam had just ended, Yao's mother signed her up for another violin competition. It was a national youth competition and she was going to the mainland.
She has also participated in many competitions over the years. At first, she was followed by the female model, but later Taomi simply refused to let her mother Yao follow her. Mother Yao felt relieved when she saw that she could be independent.
In the past, Taomi's mother was relieved when she went abroad, but now she has not gone abroad. Yao's mother insisted on following whatever she said, so her rationality told Taomi that there must be some problem.
But she hasn't thought of what it is exactly yet, she will figure it out slowly by looking at it.
In fact, Yao's mother's idea was very simple. Before, she was relieved that her daughter would go out alone. Now that she thought about it, she was really careless. Her daughter's boyfriend, who had never met her before, might have followed her at that time.
This time she went along, maybe she could see it.
But if she follows him, her daughter won't let him show up, so she still won't be able to see it.
With this in mind, on the day of departure, Yao's mother told Taomi that she would not go and that she would stay at home to rest if she was not feeling well. Taomi saw that her face was rosy, and although her voice was deliberately lowered, there was no trace of it.
The child is sick.
"Then mom, please have a good rest. The hotel and everything have been booked, so you don't have to worry. I will definitely bring the championship trophy back to you."
"Well, with Shu'er's words, mom will be relieved. Be good, come and let mom hug you." Mother Yao patted Taomi on the back and said, "Mom isn't with you these days, so you must take good care of yourself.
Also, your mother Jiang said that Naoki also went to Beijing to visit his aunt yesterday. If you call him after you get off the plane, he will come to pick you up, do you know?"
"I know mom, I will contact brother Naoshu." Isn't Jiang Zhishu's whole family Taiwanese? Isn't there an aunt in Beijing? How many levels of relatives are there?
Mother Yao nodded, let go of Taomi and asked the driver to take her to the airport. After Taomi left home, Mother Yao did not apply for a refund, but immediately changed the ticket to a flight to Beijing two hours later.
By observing in secret, we should be able to see who our daughter's boyfriend is.
Jiang Naoshu was asked to pick her up just in case. What if her daughter arrived in an unfamiliar place and happened to meet a bad guy within those two hours? At least there was an adult man there.
There are also some guarantees that are not.
After the short flight, Taomi had just received the gift and saluted, when she saw Jiang Zhishu standing not far away and walked over, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"I've been waiting for fifteen hours and thirty-eight minutes." Jiang Zhishu took the suitcase from Taomi's hand and looked at Taomi's face and said.
Taomi knew that what he was talking about was that he had finally had a holiday since he got on the plane yesterday, and Jiangzhishu University hadn't started yet. Of course, they had to have a date. Yao's mother said before that she had to come with her and couldn't come together.
Before setting off, I asked Mother Yao to leave first. She had already planned it.
Every time Yao's mother gets off the plane, she has to rest for a few hours. Plus one night, she and Jiang Zhishu can just go shopping. Who knows that now that Yao's mother is not here, all the next time will belong to them.
.
I went to the hotel to put away the wedding ceremony and the violin, changed into clothes that were easy to move around, and went out with Jiang Zhishu.
Beijing, the capital, the heart of the motherland, this is the first time Taomi has come here in her life, and the first time Jiang Zhishu has come here. The two of them followed the map on their mobile phones in a decent manner.
"Didn't you say that your aunt is here? You won't be going so late and don't need to say hello?"
"When did I tell you that I had an aunt here?"
Taomi looked over in confusion, "My mother said it was Mother Jiang who said it? You are not here to visit relatives, what reason did you use to come out?"
Jiang Zhishu put his arm around Taomi's shoulders, and the two of them continued walking, "I have an aunt who immigrated here many years ago, because at that time transportation was not very popular and communications were not developed. I only found out after I came here.
My aunt had moved elsewhere many years ago, and I couldn't find her in Beijing anyway."
Taomi nodded, Jiang Zhishu was indeed Jiang Zhishu, he was smart, and even made up such perfect reasons. Even if Jiang's mother and the cousin reunited in the future, when talking about the current matter, they would just treat Jiang Zhishu as he had not found her.
After all, Beijing is changing rapidly. Let alone decades, even if you come back in a few years, it will not be easy to find someone in the same place.
Yao's mother got off the plane and had the same symptoms as when she was on a plane. She was so dizzy and confused. Before she got on the plane, she did not receive a call from Taomi that she had landed safely. Now that she got off the plane, she had already received several missed calls.
A call has come.
Fortunately, she was well prepared and told her aunt at home that if Taomi called her home, she should tell her that she was sleeping and her phone was turned off.
After calling back and confirming what her aunt had said, Yao's mother dialed Taomi's number. At this time, Taomi was at the snack street with Jiang Zhishu. Their mission today was to eat from the street to the end of the street. The phone was in the bag.
Jiang Zhishu was carrying it inside, so she didn't receive several calls from Yao's mother.
Mother Yao couldn't get through Taomi's phone number, so she was not anxious. Instead, she had a feeling that it was indeed the case. She went to the hotel room to play ball. She had booked her daughter's hotel in the first place, so she naturally knew the customer service phone number and room number.
, was told that the guest had gone out after checking in, and asked Tian if he wanted to leave a message.
After hanging up the phone, Yao's mother confirmed her thoughts. Her daughter was indeed going out with her boyfriend. As for who the boyfriend was?
If she doesn't know it by now, then she really isn't worthy of being a mother.
At first, when Mother Jiang told her that Jiang Zhishu was coming to Beijing to visit relatives, she was confused. After so many years of friends, she had never heard Mother Jiang say that she had a sister in the Mainland, but Jiang Zhishu was in
She had set out before, so she had no doubts.
It seems that she is always a hindsight.
She took a taxi to the hotel. She booked two rooms before and didn't check out at all. After washing, she lay on the bed and slept. If her daughter's boyfriend was really Jiang Naoshu, then she wouldn't worry anymore. She had seen him since she was a child.
The child is still at ease.
As soon as Taomi returned to the hotel, she was told by the front desk that someone had called, but she was not there, so she guessed it was Yao's mother. After returning to the room, she thought about calling Yao's mother, but when she looked at the time, it was too late, so she called
After hearing the news, I went to sleep.
The next day we went to the competition venue. Jiang Zhishu had obtained the tickets in advance and sat in the auditorium. Taomi went backstage to prepare. Just as Jiang Zhishu was waiting for the show to start, a woman suddenly appeared in the seat next to him.
Even Jiang Zhishu felt uneasy when he saw that woman appearing here.
"Auntie, why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to cheer for Shu'er. I said I wouldn't come, but actually I just wanted to give her a surprise. Naoki, are you here to surprise her too?" Yao's mother said with a smile on her face.
Jiang Naoshu nodded awkwardly. Of course he was here to cheer for his girlfriend, but in front of his mother, what else could he say?
But Yao's mother said that she was here to surprise Taomi, but she was afraid that when Taomi saw her later, the surprise would turn into fright.
At the beginning of the show, the host said the opening remarks as planned. Mother Yao also watched with interest. Jiang Zhishu next to him was on pins and needles. When Mother Yao wasn't paying attention, he sent Taomi a text message to tell her that Mother Yao was coming.
, there has been no reply to the message, and I don’t know if she has seen it.
Soon, it was Taomi's turn to take the stage. Because she happened to perform the story of the drama "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" some time ago, so for this competition she is going to play "Butterfly Lovers", which is also a classic violin piece.
one.
This is a concerto, and it would be a bit monotonous to play it with a violin alone. But this is a violin competition, and all the contestants only have one violin. This competition is naturally about individual skills.
Tao Mi, who was wearing a floor-length white dress, slowly walked out from the backstage and stood in the center of the stage, holding a violin in her hand. After introducing herself, she put her bow on the strings without saying anything and moved slowly.
…
…
In fact, not only Jiang Naoshu and Yao Mu came to this game, but there was also someone paying attention to this game. Especially when the host announced that Taomi was going to play "Butterfly Lovers", he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Some time ago, he acted in a play, and he played the leading role for the first time. Although he only thought it was fun, he also did his homework and specially learned the song "Butterfly Lovers", but at that time he only had a handful of
There is no other musical instrument than the guitar. Of course, even if there were, he wouldn't know how to play it.
He gave him a guitar to play Butterfly Lovers, and even though he played it, and the nymphomaniac women agreed, but now listening to Taomi's violin solo, he still felt that he was missing something.
It's not about skills, it's about feelings. Putting aside the difference between the guitar and the violin, just talking about feelings, what he thinks in his heart when he plays the guitar, he knows very well that there is no emotion at all.
