Everyone laughed, and Shen Yuanzhe said: "Then let's do it first. These two programs require the contributions of all the people in our class, who have ideas and talents to contribute talents. Everyone can think about it when you have time. You can tell me and Luo Qiqi at any time. We also don't think it's going to be a competition to win prizes, just let everyone play together and have fun."

The boys applauded enthusiastically and applauded collectively. The head teacher smiled without saying a word and didn't object. I began to think that this white-faced scholar was actually a very interesting teacher.

After the class meeting, I carried my schoolbag out of the classroom, and Shen Yuanzhe caught up with me: "Thank you very much, after you said it, I feel that the performance of theatrical performances does not necessarily have to be good dancing and singing. It’s actually more meaningful to have the whole class participate.”

I am a bit sad. My understanding of stage costume lighting comes from Lin Lan, and my understanding of creativity and form comes from Song Chen. At that time, although I was in it, I didn't care at all. Now I realize that they are all in my life. traces.

At the school gate, I said goodbye to him, but he asked, "Which way do you go home?"

I pointed to the road I was going to take, and he said, "My family can also take that road. We just happened to be on the way, and we can walk together for a while."

In fact, I prefer to walk alone, because I am used to walking at night while thinking about math or physics problems, but I didn't want to refuse Shen Yuanzhe's friendship, and said with a smile, "Okay!"

He pushed the bicycle and chatted with me while walking. The two of them talked about the beginning of the school. I told him about bickering with Song Chen, playing chess with Li Shan, and publishing a board newspaper with Guan He...

During the conversation, I was surprised that I had had a lot, a lot of happiness with them.

When I was about to arrive at my house, I found out that I was the only one who was yelling. We were like the unreal meeting in the first year of the first year. I said all the words alone. I was embarrassed: "I'm home, goodbye."

Back home, there is a touch of melancholy and sadness. Since we were admitted to different middle schools, we didn't communicate much. Although Guan He and I were in the same school, we met occasionally, smiled and nodded, and said a few innocuous words.

Because of the cultural performance, Shen Yuanzhe and I had frequent opportunities to get along with each other. The two of us were always busy together. After the busy work, he would accompany me home by the way.

Shen Yuanzhe is a very good listener. He seems to understand everything I am talking about. I often tell him about people and things that have passed in my life under the starlight and in the quiet night. I tell him Chen Songqing's helplessness. I left and told him that Lin Lan was smart and talented, that I was superficial and mean in my first year of junior high school, and that there was a cornucopia and Zeng Hong…

But Xiaofei and Xiaobo, I will never mention them, they are pains and secrets that I cannot touch.

Over time, our relationship got better and better, and gradually, I also saw him as a good friend.

Sometimes I worry that I'm talking too much. When I'm with him, it always seems like I'm talking and he's always listening, but seeing his eyes and smiles, my worries disappear quickly.

The second semester of the first year of high school was really a very happy day. Our whole class made concerted efforts to prepare for the performance. If you can do your best, you can come up with ideas, you can come up with items, and even if you can't come up with anything, you can help me and Wang Xi hold the palette, and help us dry the paint with a hair dryer.

The whole class was very happy all day, laughing and laughing, even Yang Jun, who was frustrated frequently because of his pursuit of Tong Yunzhu, was also very happy.

In the united laugh and trouble of the whole class, it was time for the art performance.

The dean of the high school is very young, but because he is young, he is more worried about making mistakes, and the requirements are even stricter than the dean of the junior high school.

Under his strict control and under the guidance of a healthy and positive theme, the songs and dances of each class are wandering in the frame. The style is not much different from that in junior high school, but because high school has special art enrollment, the level of dance and song is better. Just a little higher.

Guan He, as she said, concentrates on his studies and no longer participates in theatrical performances.

(4) One of the programs of the class is a duet dance by two art students, and the other is a modern dance by six boys. Judging from Zhang Jun's previous performance, he is quite good at dancing, and as the squad leader, he definitely has to perform well for the literary festival, but he didn't even participate in the class performance.

I was very uncomfortable outside the accident, and felt that he and Guan He seemed to be advancing and retreating together.

However, I soon became uneasy. I didn’t perform on stage, but I needed to make overall arrangements. Fortunately, I worked under Lin Lan for two years, and then followed Song Chen to run the trick. Everything was familiar. .

Shen Yuanzhe and I ran back and forth from the front desk, worrying that the flag would not be opened for a while, and worrying that the scroll hanging on the top of the auditorium would have a problem.

When our class program was about to start, Shen Yuanzhe and I could relax and stand nervously on the side of the stage to watch.

Someone behind him whispered, "Qi Qi."

I turned around and found that on the side of the aisle was class (4), Guan He smiled and waved to me, pressing his voice to ask, "Have you participated in the art festival?"

Sitting next to Guan He is Zhang Jun. Thinking that the two of them can sit together in the dark for three or four hours, I just feel that her smile is like a sword. It hurts my throat and I can't say a word. , with a bright smile on his face, and shook his head.

Shen Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Luo Qiqi is our chief director."

Guan He said: "Then I will definitely be more forceful when I applaud later."

Just as he was talking, the host reported the song, and our class's program started, so I didn't care about talking anymore, and began to concentrate on watching the performance.

The lottery of our program is relatively late, and it is not a favorable position, because everyone has been physically and aesthetically tired after watching the performance all night. However, everyone in our class was very relaxed and didn't even think about winning the prize, so they were in good shape.

We have rearranged the song. Instead of playing the song directly, we first played a gong and drum of Peking Opera, mixed with the singing of Hua Dan and Lao Sheng.

When the gongs and drums were beating loudly and the erhu was full of color, all the classmates and teachers who were drowsy in the auditorium were woken up.

I smiled and thought, as expected of China's national quintessence, it should be designated as a must-have product to refresh the mind.

In the darkness, the singing sounded, "On that day, Grandpa led me to watch the Peking Opera, and saw a lot of big faces on the stage, red, white, green and blue, grinning and glaring again, singing and shouting, wow, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh in the ear..."

With the singing, the background of the stage becomes a very classical stage. This is the use of projection, the head teacher troubles the school teachers to do it specially.

"The blue-faced Dou Erdun stole the royal horse, the red-faced Guan Gong fought against Changsha, the yellow-faced Dian Wei, the white-faced Cao Cao, the black-faced Zhang Fei called Chacha..."

During the singing, five huge scroll paintings hung down on the stage in turn, and the scroll paintings were the facial makeup in the singing voice, blue, red, yellow, white, and black. Under the light, the colors were distinct and extremely eye-catching.

During the landing of the scroll painting, Wu Hao walked to the stage with a boy and two girls dressed in very fashionable clothes, and performed rap while walking: "To be honest, the Peking Opera masks are really pretty, and you can sing them all. I don’t understand the dialect, I’m slowly babbling and humming for a long time, and the band’s accompaniment is nothing but gongs and drums. How can this keep up with the times and catch up with the trend and attract contemporary young people?”

Wu Hao's rich boy's style is very full, the baseball cap on his head is crooked, the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose are lowered, and his eyes are slanted from above the sunglasses.

"Purple Tianwang Tuobao Pagoda, green Devil Fighting Yaksha, golden Monkey King and silver monster, gray elf laughing haha, hahaha..." During the singing, four strong boys in our class wore white T-shirts with face masks on them. T-shirt, waving a banner and ran onto the stage, on the banner were painted the purple king, the green devil, the golden monkey king, and the silver monster in turn. Four boys stand between five hanging scrolls.

"My grandfather was angry and said that I was just messing around. What a beautiful and wonderful Chinese art treasure. Even foreigners applauded and praised them. I don't understand opera and talk nonsense, so my grandfather's beard is turned on his face in anger?…”

The classmates wearing old-fashioned gowns, leaning on crutches and stroking their beards walked onto the stage, lighting up their exquisite masks as they walked. The four boys waved the flag in cooperation. The side turned to the right side in one breath, and there was a roar of applause and applause from the audience.

Shen Yuanzhe and I both breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other with a smile, and clapped each other. This was the most technically difficult job of the night, and the horsepower did it successfully.

"Grandpa, don't be angry, allow me to argue, even old-fashioned delicacies from mountains and seas will be annoying, art and the times can't be too far away, innovation and development must be done, wow, ah ah ah, let the old and young men and women all be Love watching, the national heritage is passed down from generation to generation." Wu Hao bowed and apologized in front of the grandfather, and the two girls supported the grandfather one by one.

"A picture of bright mandarin duck tiles, a group of lively living Bodhisattvas, a little bit of exaggeration, every face is beautiful..." In the singing, Wu Hao and the four walked to the four people holding the flag. , grabbed the corner of the flag, spread it out as he walked, and the four people holding the flag turned around, revealing the faces drawn on their backs.

At the end of the singing, the loud Jinghu pulled up, the lights gradually dimmed, and in the changing light and shadow, the faces of large and small faces changed, as if they were alive, while the old man leaned on a cane, turned his back to the audience, and stared affectionately at the people of this nation. Cultural essence.

In front of him were four young people, some raised their heads, some turned their heads, some were laughing, some were confused, but they were all looking at the mask, and in their hands was the national culture that had been passed down.

The performance was more successful than I imagined. I was shocked by these exquisite masks, big and small, and there was warm applause in the auditorium.

Hearing the judges' score, our class all stood up and applauded vigorously. Shen Yuanzhe and I were also very excited. The whistle, Shen Yuanzhe saw it, grabbed my arm and stopped me. I held his arm and stuck my tongue out at him while laughing. The dean of the school was sitting not far away, but I couldn't ruin the hard work of the whole class just because of my whistle.

Guan He applauded vigorously and smiled to congratulate us: "It's really great, whose idea is this?"

I didn't answer, and Shen Yuanzhe said, "Luo Qiqi designed all the scenes, and she also drew those face masks."

Guan He exclaimed: "Qi Qi, you were too clumsy back then!"

I smiled, as if I couldn't see Zhang Jun at all, but I kept looking at him from the corner of my eyes. He was talking and laughing to Guan He. When his visual line occasionally glanced at me, he was as indifferent as ice and applauded weakly. , casually perfunctory a few times.

I was deeply disappointed in my heart. In his heart, I was really inferior to ordinary classmates. He was stingy with giving even a little polite appreciation.

(4) The class's duet won the second prize. Our class's "Rap Mask" blind punched the old master and won the first prize with the highest score. When the dean of the school gave the award, he specially praised us and encouraged all students to develop their creative spirit. The performance of Class 1 (5) told everyone that a healthy and positive theme does not mean boring.

Our class went crazy and everyone was laughing because everyone got credit.

After laughing enough and the classmates dispersed, Shen Yuanzhe stopped Wang Qian and me: "This time it's all thanks to the two of you, are you hurrying home? If not, I'll invite you to go to the night market for something to eat. Say thanks."

Wang Qian smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome. I want to eat Mala Tang and kebabs."

The three of them were eating and chatting at the night market. Wang Qian and I complimented each other. I said she was the biggest hero. She said I was the biggest hero. ."

After eating, when the three of them left, passing a night market stall, Shen Yuanzhe suddenly stopped and greeted Zhang Jun, who was sitting and eating. It is estimated that it is also the "reward banquet" of the monitor, and the two girls who are dancing pas de deux sit opposite Zhang Jun.

I dragged Wang Qian to go, but someone called me: "Qi Qi."

Only then did I realize that Guan He was sitting next to Zhang Jun. At this moment, he stuck his head out and called me over with a smile: "Qi Qi, come over and have something to eat."

I smiled and said, "No need, we just ate with Shen Yuanzhe."

After returning home, although I was tired all day, I had no sleepiness due to my regular work and rest. Staring out the window, unable to fall asleep.

Zhang Jun has not had a girlfriend for more than a year. Will Guan He be his fourth girlfriend

I'm already numb to his girlfriend, and he doesn't seem to be able to move me any more, but Guan He is the only exception, because I have an inexplicable feeling that Zhang Jun is not really sad for the first three girlfriends However, his heart was on Guan He from beginning to end.

She was his first heartbeat!

Although Guan He rejected him back then, he is no longer the tall and thin spiky-headed boy, but a tall and handsome young man, and he no longer associates with the gangsters in the society, and he has become a good man with both character and study. student.

In the past four years, he has changed a lot.

Four years later, she returned to him.

But what about me? From beginning to end, I was a small supporting role without even a camera, and could only hide in dark corners with sadness and jealousy.

Since the beginning of school, Shen Yuanzhe has been preparing for the election of the student council president in addition to helping the class prepare for the performances.

I don’t think there is any problem with him, and jokingly said that he can go on stage only if the girls in the whole grade like him help him. The experience of the time, the election should be a matter of course.

For a long time, Shen Yuanzhe's reputation among his classmates has been quite high, but I don't know since when, a saying slowly spread in the freshman year: Shen Yuanzhe is actually very hypocritical.

As high school students, we are already half adults, and we also have many practical considerations. For example, before they really understood why communism would liberate all human beings, very few people had already submitted applications to join the party, because they knew that young party members would bring many benefits. If you plan to work in party and government organs and state-owned enterprises in the future, it is more important than whether you have graduated from a famous university.

Shen Yuanzhe was the first in our grade and the only one who submitted an application for joining the party. From this point of view, he is a very realistic and shrewd person. When his peers still eat and drink and regard the college entrance examination as the only pressure in life, Shen Yuanzhe has already submitted ideological reports to the party organization every month, for the future Career planning and paving.

There is a very strange power in Shen Yuanzhe. He can make the principal, the dean, and the head teacher treat him as an adult, give him trust, and make all the classmates treat him as a close brother and tell him secrets. However, under the influence of rumors, he was too long-sleeved and good at dancing, which caused many students to question him. Compared with his behavior of submitting the application for joining the party, the rumors about his hypocrisy spread more and more widely, and the whole high school people knew it. And a lot of people believe it.

At that time, even I was a little confused.

Shen Yuanzhe looks warm and kind on the surface, but in fact, the real him is completely different from the surface.

I got very close to him. I thought that I was already a good friend with him, but when I stop and think about it, I will find that the communication between me and him has always been one-way.

I told him countless things about me, even my shallowness and meanness, but he never talked about himself, he always seemed to be smiling and listening, saying a few words at the right time, and making me talk more and more unconsciously The more, and the more I talked, the more I felt close to him and made him a confidant. In fact, my understanding of him is not even the slightest bit more than when I first met.

More and more people say that he is the deepest, the most scheming, and the best at pretending.

I wondered, really

I am a person who has not even joined the Communist Youth League, and he has already submitted an application for joining the party, and he writes monthly reports on his thoughts. As soon as I saw the teacher, I had a psychological shadow, and even normal communication was difficult, but he and the dean and the head teacher could be called brothers.

Shen Yuanzhe is a completely different person from me, and I don't know him at all.

However, I soon figured out, does it matter what kind of person he is? I just need to remember the afternoon of the first day of junior high, when I was sad and crying, none of the classmates in the class cared about me. He walked in with warmth and used kindness to dispel the cold for me.

Even if he is fake, if he is fake to such an extent that he can even care about strangers warmly, then this kind of fake is actually more valuable than any truth.

Sincerity has nothing to do with oneself and hangs high; hypocritical listening attentively and solving problems, I would rather have the latter than the two.

At the same time that the rumors about Shen Yuanzhe were unfavorable, the student union elected two people to run for the presidency, one was Shen Yuanzhe and the other was Zheng Anguo.

Zheng Anguo is the sports committee member of class (4). He works in the sports department of the student union and plays basketball very well. Because of playing basketball, he and the boys in the high school are all familiar with each other. He is also a resident student. The resident students of No. 1 Middle School have always been relatively united, so he also received the full support of almost all the resident students. The current student council president is a new high school student, and naturally he favors Zheng Anguo.

After fierce competition, Zheng Anguo won with the help of the student union president and became the new student union president.

Zheng Anguo invited his competitors to be the Minister of Sports, showing perfect demeanor, but Shen Yuanzhe declined and withdrew from the student union with a smile.

This should be a big failure for Shen Yuanzhe, because since he has applied to join the party, the position of the student union president is very important to him, far beyond the significance of being in the limelight among his classmates.

However, on the surface, it was impossible to tell what mood Shen Yuanzhe was in. He was exactly the same as before, with a warm and sunny smile, and concentrated on preparing for the performance.
