Seeing Zhou Jingze's obviously stunned expression, Xu Sui lowered his eyelashes and laughed at himself: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember."
Zhou Jingze leaned back on the bench, slightly arched, with one long leg propped on the ground. He suppressed his carelessness, squinted his eyes and recalled. In his memory, there seemed to be such a girl in the class who wore a baggy school uniform and often bowed down. He hurried past his seat every morning when he entered the classroom, and his sleeves occasionally brushed against the papers on his desk.
He had a little impression of Xu Sui, but he thought it had the same name as the one in front of him. Zhou Jingze moved his eyes to Xu Sui, and the shy and quiet girl in his memory gradually overlapped with the person in front of him.
"You have changed a lot," Zhou Jingze would say, and the upbringing in his bones prompted him to speak again, "Sorry—"
Xu Sui shook her head, since the two reunited in university, she has accepted the fact that Zhou Jingze will not remember her. After all, he is the son of heaven's favorite, and he will always be the object of all the stars in school.
She is just a dim star, too inconspicuous.
Some people are so lucky that they can't remember the names of the people around them, but they have been missed by them for a long time.
Zhou Jingze picked up the can of Coke on the ground, leaned down, the Coke can in his hand touched the hot cocoa she was holding, and locked her dark eyes tightly:
"Then let's get to know each other again, huh?"
"Okay." Xu Sui heard himself say softly.
—
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the time flies by during the intense rehearsals of the class and the band. They are getting familiar with each other day by day, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. In the blink of an eye, it is Christmas Eve.
The art evening held by the two schools happened to be held on December 24th. On this day, the school was filled with lively and festive atmosphere.
In particular, today also happens to be Xu Sui's birthday. When Xu Sui woke up early in the morning, he received a big red envelope from his mother and grandma. Grandma even called herself to tell her to keep warm and take the red envelope out for a good meal on her birthday.
Xu Sui was on the phone in the corridor, acting like a baby to the old man: "But grandma, I just want to eat the longevity noodles you made."
The old man smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, when you come back from winter vacation, grandma will make it for you every day."
At noon, Xu Sui invited two roommates to have dinner outside. Liang Shuang sat in the dining room with a suspicious expression on his face: "Did you find the money?"
Hu Qianqian put her arms around Xu Sui's neck and said, "Yes, little girl, why are you so happy today?"
"Just... maybe the exam went smoothly two days ago." Xu Sui randomly found an excuse to prevaricate.
But Xu Sui did not expect that he exposed himself when he checked out after the meal. The waiter returned with the bill and bank card, with a typical smile on his face: "Hello, since today is your birthday, you can enjoy a 12% discount in the restaurant for this purchase." , In addition, the store will give you an extra cake, Ms. Xu, I wish you a happy birthday."
Xu Sui was stunned. After the waiter left, two roommates strangled her neck from left to right, and shouted, "Damn, why didn't you tell us your birthday."
"You don't know now?" Xu Sui's eyes were full of smiles, and his index finger was on his lips, "But, shhh, you are already very happy to eat with me."
In the afternoon, Xu Sui and Hu Qianxi went to the practice room of Beihang University to rehearse, and the competition began in the evening. The annual cultural evening of the two schools is very lively.
There was constant noise around, crowds in the backstage, a chaotic state, because of the influence of the environment, when Xu Sui was sitting in the backstage putting on makeup, he felt a little nervous in his heart.
But people come to whatever they are afraid of. A girl walked through the crowded backstage with two cups of coffee and shouted "Excuse me", but was bumped by a girl who was trying on clothes next to her.
The girl bent her elbow, and a cup of hot coffee was poured over, almost half of it splashed on Xu Sui's pants and white shirt. The tingling pain from her body made Xu Sui frown subconsciously.
Hu Qianxi was helping Xu Sui put on makeup, and she was dissatisfied immediately: "What are you doing?"
Seeing this, the two girls bowed down to apologize and handed over tissues. But Hu Qianxi looked at Xu Sui's expression and felt pain for her, and shouted: "Didn't you see such a big man? We will be on stage soon, how come?"
Xu Sui took the tissue and wiped off the coffee stains on his body, but the white shirt he was wearing was completely ruined. She tugged on the sleeve of Hu Xixi who was still angry, and said:
"I'll go to the bathroom to wash it and try it in the dryer to see if it works."
Hu Qianxi was so pissed off by her obedient character, she said helplessly, "What's the use? I can only borrow another set of clothes, but who still has extra clothes at this juncture."
"I have." A crisp and somewhat arrogant tone came.
Everyone turned their heads, it was Bai Yuyue. Bai Yuyue was wearing a purple dress, she was graceful and graceful, and she put on bright makeup. When she walked over, her eyes flickered in the tip of her raised eyes, which was very eye-catching.
"Maybe the size is not suitable, do you want it?" Bai Yuyue said while crossing her arms.
Hu Qianxi was anxious and said, "You—"
Xu Sui reached out to stop Hu Qianxi, looked directly at Bai Yuyue: "I want it."
Bai Yuyue folded her arms in a daze for a moment, she didn't expect Xu Sui to accept her "kindness", and finally said: "Then come here."
When Xu Sui followed her, he suddenly said, "Thank you."
After Bai Yuyue heard this sentence, she spoke again in an awkward tone, but she had no choice but to pick up the shelves and throw a rack of clothes on the sofa to her: "It's even."
When Xu Sui came out of the dressing room, sure enough, the size was too big. Bai Yuyue was tall and tall, and her frame was slightly bigger. Naturally, it didn't fit her well. She grabbed the collar of her clothes and walked forward cautiously, for fear that she would lose everything.
When she saw Xu Sui changing her clothes, Hu Qianxi felt her eyes light up and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"
"But the clothes are too big." Xu Sui rolled his eyes around the lounge and said, "It would be nice if there were clips or needlework."
Xu Sui's gaze swept around the lounge, but he was caught off guard by a pair of eyes. Shi Yuejie came over to give something to his partner.
He was wearing a black suit and a red tie today. He was handsome and personable. When he saw Xu, he walked over, attracting many looks along the way.
"Is it going well?" Shi Yuejie asked with a smile.
After he finished asking, he noticed Xu Sui's tight grip on the collar, and immediately understood what was going on. Shi Yuejie reached out and took off the golden brooch on the collar without hesitation, and handed it to Xu Sui.
Xu Sui shook his head. The latter smiled and said, "It's okay. To me, it's just a brooch for decoration. To you, it's something to save the day. As your senior brother, you should help. Don't make me a villain."
Xu Sui was amused by his last words, and he stopped being coy, and continued generously: "Thank you, brother, I will return it to you."
Hu Qianxi didn't say a word the whole time, she silently took the brooch and put it behind Xu Sui's neck, fastening the loose collar tightly. After some tossing, they were finally able to take the stage smoothly.
Xu Sui fell behind, and when he walked out of the lounge and was about to meet them, Bai Yuyue leaned against the wall with arms folded, glanced at her, and said:
"You're lucky, but you can't stand him."
Although Bai Yuyue didn't name this "he", both of them knew who it was. Xu Sui has a soft personality and has always been good-tempered, but this time, she looked at Bai Yuyue frankly, with a cold expression:
"Thank you for lending me the clothes, but I never owe you anything."
After saying this, Xu Sui straightened his back and passed her by without looking back, while Liu Bai Yuyue was alone in a daze. She never owed Bai Yuyue anything.
When Zhou Jingze met again in college, he no longer remembered her. The second time they met, she was his niece's roommate, and the third time they met, they had already broken up, and she hadn't done anything beyond the rules.
Xu Sui walked over to join them, a group of people stood behind the curtain, and the host said on the stage, "The next one is Carbonated Mood. This band is a symbol of the friendship between the two schools..."
"I invite them to play and bring an adapted version of "Stubborn"."
Immediately there was a wave of applause from the audience. Zhou Jingze was standing in the shadows with his cello on his back. He suddenly raised his head to look at Xu Sui, and boasted amidst the loud applause: "It's very beautiful."
Although Xu Sui knew it was just a polite compliment, her heart was still tickled. When she was about to speak, the curtain slowly opened, and Xu Sui could only concentrate and prepare to perform.
Sheng Nanzhou snapped his fingers, and Xu Sui sat in the corner and began to play the drums. As soon as the familiar melody sounded, the audience cheered immediately.
Da Liu stood in front of the stage, his voice was clean and pure, and with the accompaniment of the electric guitar, he sang:
when i'm different from the world
then make me different
Persistence is for me to overcome strength with strength
if i compromise with myself
if you lie to yourself
even if someone forgives
i can't forgive
The most beautiful wish must be the craziest
i am my own god
where i live
The people in the audience shook the light sticks in their hands with the rocker, laughed and listened to their singing. They changed the tune a little more toned down. Hu Qianxi's electric guitar and Sheng Nanzhou's accordion have always been technically online.
After Da Liu sang this sentence, he gave the boy on the left a look. Zhou Jingze lowered his head and drew his bow, revealing a wrist with clear joints, and the unique low voice of the cello sounded.
Zhou Jingze was sitting there with his long legs leaning against the blood-red body of the piano, wearing a black peaked cap, his side face was sharp and sharp, his eyes were lowered, and he was extremely focused. Under his one-minute interpretation, the sound of the piano brings people into a situation.
There, the forest was boundless, and suddenly there was a fire, the birds and trees were burned everywhere, and everyone fled from different directions. A bird was about to fly upwards, but the burned wood broke its wings and was dripping with blood. .
However, a gust of wind blew up, and the injured bird slowly tried to fly upwards, and the sound of the piano gradually rose. When Zhou Jingze reached one of the points, he turned his head and gave Xu Sui a look.
With a light touch of eyes in mid-air, Xu Sui took the drumsticks, spun a few times in mid-air, smiled at the audience, and immediately beat the drum set. The sound of the drum is like raindrops, like a gust of wind, powerful and rising.
The low voice of the cello and the exciting voice of the drum set are intertwined. At a certain point, Da Liu let go of his voice and sang:
I'm not afraid of thousands of people blocking
only fear of surrender
The audience suddenly became irritable, they seemed to have seen the reborn phoenix, and their first-rate rushing to the clouds. Sheng Nanzhou and the others were very in harmony. Hu Qianxi kept plucking the strings of the electric guitar, pushing the atmosphere to the climax. They looked at each other and sang together:
me and my proud stubbornness
I sing loudly in the wind
What is youth? It is a vigorous physique that clamors and grows in the body. It is restlessness. At this moment, the audience in the audience was infected and sang together. The screams and applause flooded the crowd. They sang:
Crazy for myself this time
Just this time me and my stubbornness
just this once let me sing it out loud
la la la ~ ~
Even if you are disappointed, you cannot despair
la la la ~ ~
Just this time me and my stubbornness
Da Liu threw the wheat, cheered, and dived directly into the audience. The crowd cheered and screamed. Affected by the atmosphere, Sheng Nanzhou couldn't help running from the stage to the audience and diving into the auditorium.
The audience in the audience threw the two of them in the air, cheering one after another. Amidst a large amount of golden fragments and ribbons falling, Zhou Jingze put the piano back, stood up, took off his black peaked cap, and stood in the center of the stage, with the corners of his mouth raised, and a frivolous and wanton smile. , raised it to the temple, and saluted the teachers and classmates in the auditorium in an extremely chic and handsome pilot salute.
The cheers from the audience grew louder, and someone shouted "Awesome" in the crowd, and the girl stood up with a hoarse voice and shouted, "You're handsome, okay?"
"Damn it, that's Zhou Jingze from Feiyuan, what a good Su, Su broke my leg!"
"That's right, the cello is also very nice. He can do everything."
Discussions around him kept coming, Shi Yuejie stood under the stage and watched the scene on the stage quietly, Xu Sui sat behind the drum set, smiling unconsciously and looking at Zhou Jingze with a light in his eyes.
After all the performances, their adaptation of "Stubborn" won the first place without any suspense. When they came to the stage to accept the award, Zhou Jingze didn't go.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Jingze has won many awards, and every time he speaks the same pattern, and he doesn't bother to go up because of the many times.
Zhou Jingze stood in the corner and waited for them to have dinner together after receiving the award. A friend named Qin Jing from the next class happened to be standing next to him.
Qin Jing bumped his shoulder, nodded his chin towards Xu Sui on the stage, and said in a warm tone, "Dude, that girl from your team is so pretty, let me introduce you to her."
Zhou Jingze looked down at his mobile phone and chewed candy, thinking he was talking about Hu Qianxi, and without raising his head, he said in a terrified tone, "My niece, I'm out of luck."
"No," Qin Jing pushed Zhou Jingze's arm and corrected, "No, it's the other one."
Zhou Jingze stopped holding his thumb on the screen, raised his head slowly, and realized that he was talking about Xu Sui.
Qin Jing has always liked Lie Yan, so he handed Zhou Jingze the phone to look at, and babbled: "Look, the school post bar is blown up, the front page is either talking about you or talking about that girl, someone has already picked it up, the school next door, clinical (three ) class Xu Sui."
"Look, the posts are all photos of her taken during the performance just now. They are all asking for contact information. The main reason is that she was so good-looking on stage just now. That girl is cute and good-looking, and the soft girl plays drums. Who can stand it? Ah, she smiled off the stage just now, and my fucking legs are weak, but luckily I recorded her performance video just now."
Zhou Jingze quickly slid down the post with his thumb, and his eyes didn't stir up any waves until Qin Jing showed him the recorded video, and there was a slight reaction in his eyes.
He was playing seriously just now, and standing in front of Xu Sui's left, he didn't notice Xu Sui's performance at all. In the video, he saw a different Xu Sui.
A beam of chasing light hit Xu Suwan, she was sitting there wearing a white dress with a neck tie, black eyes and red lips, jade neck and fragrant shoulders, and two slender and straight legs under the skirt, so cute and pretty.
The drumstick is like a pen in Xu Sui's hand. She swings the mallet easily, but strikes a passionate rhythm. She is such a well-behaved and quiet person, but she doesn't violate harmony at all when she plays the drums. There is a kind of tranquility in her body.
Ke Xusui took the mallet and started to spin the pen, twirled a few times in mid-air, and then slammed it on the drum, showing a smile, and the dimples appeared, and the audience immediately became hot, and Qin Jing's noisy cry was recorded in the video .
At a certain moment, somewhere in the bottom of Zhou Jingze's heart was hit, neither light nor heavy, a stroke was made, but he couldn't describe this feeling.
Seeing that he was engrossed in watching, Qin Jing pushed his arm again: "Do you also like this kind of good girl?"
Zhou Jingze raised his head and looked at Xu Sui on the stage, chewing the mints in his mouth without saying a word. Qin Jing knew that his previous partners were all of the same type - long breasts, thighs and coquettish, so he said with a smirk:
"Or, do you only like one flavor for thousands of years?"
