11 Please
◎The voice becomes a little hoarse◎
It was lunchtime, and the sunlight filtered through the emerald green needles of the Chinese pine, scattering onto the ground, leaving behind shimmering spots of light. Song Shixi stood under the tree, looking at Chen Huili, who was crying in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh softly, handing her a tissue at the right time.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's mainly because time is tight and I'm afraid I'm not up to the task..."
As soon as she stretched out her hand, it was held by Chen Huili.
"We're indeed a bit pressed for time, but Comrade Song, your professional ability is evident to all of us. The manuscript isn't difficult, and you don't need to worry about the group part. There's only a small solo recitation section that requires practice. If I hadn't had no other choice, I wouldn't have taken the liberty of asking for your help. Please."
After just a few days of not seeing each other, Chen Huili's originally clear and pleasant voice became hoarse and harsh. It was particularly difficult for her to finish this series of words, and even the ending tone had a hint of tears.
Every year on Labor Day, major universities in Beijing gather at Huaqing University to hold a social party. This year is no exception. Their school started preparing for it early and prepared two programs in total, one is folk dance and the other is poetry recitation.
The poetry recitation program is organized by the school recitation team. It is a guaranteed program and wins awards every year, so the school leaders attach great importance to it.
Chen Huili is beautiful and speaks standard Mandarin. She has been trained as a core member of the school recitation team since her freshman year. She participated in a social evening last year and was supposed to attend this time as well, standing in the first row as an important member.
But just three days ago, she suddenly caught a cold and had a high fever, which made her voice hoarse. She thought she would be better before the party, but who would have thought that not only did it not get better, but it became more and more serious, even to the point of losing her voice.
Seeing that the evening party was just around the corner, she had no choice but to give up participating in the performance. However, her position was vacant and someone had to fill it. However, the school recitation team could not find a suitable candidate for the time being.
Just when everyone was extremely anxious, Chen Huili thought of Song Shixi and came to the back street to ask her for help.
Song Shixi pursed her lips and finally said, "Your illness is not yet healed, so talk less."
Hearing this, Chen Huili probably realized that she couldn't persuade her anymore, and her expression suddenly became lonely, as if she was in deep despair.
Seeing this, Song Shixi couldn't bear it and turned his eyes away, but he caught a glimpse of a few girls standing not far away. Perhaps they had guessed the result, and they all looked dejected. Two of them also had red eyes, looking so pitiful.
Song Shixi had never expected that the short recitation he had read in public in order to build closer relationships and sell more clothes would lead to this incident.
It's not that she doesn't want to help, it's just that being on stage for someone else is a thankless task. If the performance goes well, everything will be fine, but if the performance fails...
But seeing that these girls were about to cry, and they had brought their friends here to spend money in the past few days, Chen Huili just bought three skirts in one go without even bargaining.
Song Shixi finally couldn't bear to say no again, and sighed, "I agree."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Huili suddenly raised her head in disbelief, her eyes still sparkling with tears, but she grinned with joy, crying and laughing at the same time, her expression was extremely funny. Seeing her like this, Song Shixi couldn't help but smiled too, but his face turned stern again in an instant.
"But I'll be frank with you, if..."
"It's okay, Comrade Song, we are not that kind of people. We can't thank you enough, so how can we blame you? You are our benefactor." Chen Huili spoke in a strange voice and said a lot of incoherent gibberish.
Finally, the two looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.
Seeing them smile, several people not far away hurried over, asked them, and then hugged each other excitedly.
In the next two days, Song Shixi memorized the script whenever she had time and rehearsed several times with the recitation team. Finally, she passed the teacher's review before the evening party started. The teacher also said that he would add Song Shixi's name to the list and give her extra credits.
This was a pleasant surprise. Song Shixi happily boarded the bus to Huaqing University with the school recitation team.
The sunlight was a little dazzling, shining through the car window, bringing out a trace of fatigue, but the girls in the car were all full of energy, chattering non-stop as if they had endless things to say.
Song Shixi sat in the back seat, chatting with Chen Huili. Her voice had improved a lot, but it was still a little hoarse.
The bus slowly entered the gate of Huaqing University. Through the window, we could see ribbons and banners hanging on both sides of the road, full of festive atmosphere. The bus stopped directly outside the guild hall. Many school buses were already parked here. Everyone instantly quieted down and followed the teacher out of the bus and walked inside.
This group of beautiful girls in cheongsams attracted a lot of attention. Teams from other schools frequently looked at them, causing some of the shy ones to blush.
Song Shixi was already accustomed to such gazes and didn't pay much attention to it. Just as he was about to walk quickly into the venue, he turned his head and saw the school bus of Jingshi University.
When I thought about the fact that the heroine and the second male lead in the book were evergreen partners in various activities during college before they broke up, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could they be so unlucky?
But the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Just after finishing the first rehearsal and going off the stage, Song Shixi saw Qin Zhiyi and Li Yanxing standing backstage and chatting. These two people have outstanding looks and have the aura of the protagonists. It is hard not to notice them.
Song Shixi gritted his teeth secretly, then quickly lowered his head and told Chen Huili beside him that he wanted to go to the bathroom, then hurriedly turned and walked towards the corridor next to him.
Who knew that I was in such a hurry that I accidentally bumped into someone just as I turned the corner.
"sorry!"
Song Shixi immediately apologized and bent down to pick up the thing that the other person had dropped on the ground. When she got it in her hand, she found that it was a Walkman. This thing was not cheap. Fortunately, she gave it a rough check and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to return it to the other party, the walkman in his hand was snatched away by his companion behind him, accompanied by some harsh reproaches.
"Don't you have eyes when you walk? If you break something, can you afford to pay for it?"
"That's right, Xu Nian, please check if there is any problem. If there is, ask her to pay for it."
Although the words were a bit harsh, she was in the wrong first. Song Shixi's expression did not change. She raised her head and looked at them, "If it breaks, I will pay for it."
Gao Xunian took his Walkman from his classmate. It was bought for him by his brother in Hong Kong. He always treasured it very much. Now that it accidentally dropped, he was naturally very sad and frowned. It could be seen that the person who bumped into him was a lesbian, so he wanted to let it go.
So without checking carefully, he said, "It's okay, you..."
The rest of his words came to an abrupt end after he saw the face of the person in front of him. His pupils dilated slightly and he swallowed quickly, trying to hide the throbbing in his heart, but it was all in vain. His heartbeat was accelerating like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
She was wearing a light pink cheongsam that outlined her graceful figure, with flower buttons winding across her chest and delicate and elegant white orchids embroidered on the hem of her skirt. Her long legs were faintly visible, swaying gracefully. Her long black hair was tied into a simple bun with a wooden hairpin, revealing her small face with elegant light makeup. She looked like a peony blooming brilliantly in the drizzle of Jiangnan, so beautiful that it was tempting to drop tears.
Just one glance and Gao Xunian suddenly changed the subject.
"There are so many parts inside, I don't know if it's broken. How about we go find a technician to take a look after the show?"
Hearing this, Song Shixi frowned slightly. This was a good idea, but what if after they separated, he took the opportunity to tamper with the Walkman and blackmail her for money?
Perhaps he guessed what she was thinking, and the next second he handed over the Walkman to prove his innocence, "If you're worried, you can keep this for me first."
The boy was wearing an army green suit, his skin was tanned, he had a slender body, a straight back, and he exuded a sense of vigor and vitality. His hair was shaved short, revealing his handsome and three-dimensional facial features. There was a small black mole in the middle of his right cheek, which moved when he smiled, adding a bit of inexplicable cuteness to him.
The suspicion deep in his heart was exposed, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Song Shixi's face. He looked at the Walkman he handed over, but did not take it. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with your Walkman?"
Hearing her words, Gao Xunian's eyes curved, staring at her and saying word by word: "We are all college students, I believe you won't run away."
This man's smile was extremely bewitching and he looked very innocent, but Song Shixi did not miss the cunning in his eyes.
Trust her? We are all strangers, how can we trust each other?
Today's party is very important. Those who can come backstage are performers from major universities. As long as you recognize her clothes, you can find her school, and then finding her will be easy.
Likewise, it would be easy for her to find him.
Thinking of this, Song Shixi reached out and took the Walkman from his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I won't run away, but it's too late after the party. Do you have time tomorrow? I'll pay for the car fare, and you can come to my school to find me, and we can solve this matter."
Although it costs more money, it is her "territory" near her school, which saves time, effort and is safe.
I just don't know if he is willing to make this trip.
Fortunately, he agreed the next second.
"A little later."
She only has classes in the morning tomorrow, and the afternoon is free. She originally wanted to go and look at houses, but she didn't expect this little episode to happen. It seems she has to postpone it.
"One point then."
The two of them readily agreed on a time and place, and Song Shixi was about to leave, but was stopped by him after taking two steps forward.
"I don't even know your name yet."
"Song Shixi."
Gao Xunian repeated the name silently in his mind, the smile on his lips deepening. Seeing her walking further and further away, he hurriedly shouted at her back: "My name is Gao Xunian."
She didn't stop walking, and I don't know whether she heard it or not.
"Are you staring at me? Everyone's gone!"
Gao Xunian suddenly came to his senses when he heard the teasing laughter of his classmates. He shrugged nonchalantly, "She's so beautiful, what's wrong with me looking at her a few more times?"
After saying this, he took the lead and left.
