Wen Liang just thought Xu Yao's attitude was a bit strange, and without thinking about anything else, he asked, "What do you want to do by looking for someone who can sing well?"

Xu Yao said worriedly: "Didn't you hear you coming to me during the break? We are going to have a showdown with those little girls who don't understand music. This Saturday we'll find a karaoke bar to sing a song competition. If they lose, they will have to shout "I love Jacky Cheung" in front of all the teachers and students at the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, hehe." At the end, the little girl couldn't help laughing. Her beautiful eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, and her delicate face was dyed with color like soft white clouds, looking very cute.

There is no need to ask the other sentence. If Xu Yao loses, she will definitely shout "I love Aaron Kwok".

Wen Liang smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

After decades of repression, people’s self-denial and self-doubt became the label of the times, and the social form was almost broken. It was this denial and self-doubt that created the situation of ideological blowout at the beginning of reform and opening up. Various thoughts began to surge, and various consciousnesses gradually awakened. After the repetition and baptism in the 1980s, it finally reached its peak in the mid-1990s. Young people were madly absorbing all kinds of imported products, whether they were the essence or the dregs, and they accepted everything.

The old concepts have been broken, new values have not been established, there is no faith, lost direction, can not find the meaning of life and the reason for survival. Like Wen Liang and Xu Yao's generation, they spent their childhood in the odes of Lai Ning and Lei Feng, remembering the lofty dream of serving the people and striving to be new people with four qualities; they entered adolescence inspired by Zhang Haidi and the five consecutive championships of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and understood that self-salvation and never giving up are the spiritual wealth of our nation; but they became lost in the hazy poems such as "meanness is the passport of the mean, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble", "the night gave me black eyes, but I use them to find light". Bei Dao, Shu Ting, Gu Cheng, Yang Lian, and Jiang He roared among the young people with deep reflection and heart-wrenching cries, and "literary youth" became the vocabulary of the times, and it was the most dazzling and shining one;

Confusion gave rise to rebellion, and rebellion gave birth to new beliefs. Luo Dayou and Cui Jian entered the public's field of vision at this time. "Love Song 1990" and "Story of Time" began to be widely sung. "Nothing" used the metaphor of the young people's spirit being robbed, becoming an indelible symbol in the memories of a generation full of yearning and confusion. At the same time, the invasion of new idols from Hong Kong and Taiwan followed closely. The Four Heavenly Kings, Little Tornado, and Little Tigers swept the mainland with their fresh, handsome, and sunny images, and were unrivaled at the time.

This is the best of times, and the worst of times!

Wen Liangliang, who understood the fanaticism of Xu Yao and others at this age, was also frightened by this bold and reckless bet. Every Monday, the flag-raising ceremony was attended by all school leaders, administrative staff, and all teachers and students from the three grades. The occasion was solemn and the atmosphere was solemn. If you really shouted in this place, there could only be one consequence - expulsion!

"Do you really have to do this?"

Xu Yao said angrily, "I didn't want to do it in the first place. How childish is it to fight with those silly girls? But I really can't stand them being obsessed with Aaron Kwok's portrait every day. They have it on their books, desks, and even their small mirrors. It's flashy and useless. Does he have any good songs? Not only are they obsessed with him, but they also keep criticizing Jacky Cheung for not being handsome enough. It makes me so angry!"

At that time, celebrity stickers were popular. Wen Liang had seen pages and pages of pictures of Weng Meiling and Zhao Yazhi in Ren Yi's notebook not long ago. Wen Liang had to hold back his laughter. He had always thought Xu Yao was very mature, but he didn't expect that she had such a childish side.

She suddenly frowned, a little discouraged: "But those people found a very annoying guy from Class 2, he has a great voice, he can even sing children's songs very well. I... I don't have much chance of winning..."

"Very annoying? Who is it that sings so well?"

"Yeah, you know him too. He's Bai Huan, the one who hangs out with Mu Shanshan and the others. I heard that he teaches music every Friday. I can hear the screams of the girls in Class 2 even when I'm in Class 1."

Didn't Liu Zhihe say that Bai Huan was busy with the affairs of No. 19 Middle School recently? How could he still be in the mood to fool around with these girls? Wen Liang pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, for the sake of our Miss Xu's reputation, I will recommend someone to you, and I guarantee you will win easily."

Xu Yao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Well, Master Wen, I know you're always the boss, so don't recommend yourself. If you want to play these children's games, then come on."

Ning Xiaoning joked, "You also know that this is a children's game?"

Xu Yao put her hands on her waist and chuckled, "Okay, okay, I know you've been laughing at me for days. Now that I have backup, you two can team up to bully me."

Uncle Wen was ignored by the two girls, so he just waved his hand to show his presence: "Hey, seriously, I'm going to find you someone who can sing really well, especially Jacky Cheung's songs, which are almost indistinguishable from the real thing."

Xu Yao and Ning Xiaoning stared at him at the same time, as if trying to determine whether he was serious or joking. Wen Liang was humiliated by such a look and said angrily, "Do you think I am unreliable in what I say and do? I have never told the truth except for nonsense, right?"

"You look like a fool, but I didn't expect your self-criticism is quite profound. Young man, work hard, the future of Class 3 depends on you." Xu Yao patted Wen Liang's shoulder and praised him in a rough voice.

"I second!" Ning Xiaoning's jokes are always very lethal.

Do you think this is the Qingzhou Standing Committee meeting

Wen Liang was almost broken by these two girls today. He didn't even have the energy to refute. He said resignedly: "Just tell me, do you want to?"

"Of course I do. Otherwise, do you think I'm in the mood to talk so much nonsense with you? Tell me, who is it?"

"Tan Yu, do you remember? When Tan Xue came to give her money, the little boy sitting next to her..."

Xu Yao suddenly realized and said, "Him, I remember now, Tan Xue's younger brother, is he also in No. 1 Middle School? Why have I never heard you mention him?"

"Don't ask about men's affairs. How about this, I will introduce him to you after school this afternoon, and you girls can check him out. If you think he's suitable, let him represent you in the competition."

Wen Liang felt that Tan Yu should be interested in participating in such things. After all, being able to stand out among a group of girls was a very cool thing in high school in 1995.

Xu Yao had heard Tan Yu speak before and felt that his voice was a little shrill and not deep enough. She wanted to reject him, but after a roll of her eyes, she suddenly became happy and said, "Okay, it's him!"

The three of them wasted quite a bit of time here. Once the candidates were decided, Wen Liang smiled and said, "Well, if you are as thick-skinned as I am, we can continue the conversation. Otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, the bell for ten minutes before class rang. Xu Yao screamed, grabbed Ning Xiaoning's hand and turned around and ran away, with a warm laugh coming from behind her.

After the first get out of class, Ji Su suddenly came over, sat in an empty seat in the front row, and turned to look at Wen Liang. Seeing his puzzled look, Ji Su smiled slightly, with two dimples on his cheeks. He put the notebook in his hand on the table and said generously: "Wen Liang, as a study committee member, I have the responsibility to prevent students with poor grades from dragging down the entire class. Teacher Si also told me to help you make up for the lessons, so starting today, you have to take two hours of extracurricular time to study."

Thinking of what happened last night, Wen Liang smiled and said, "Thank you, Academic Committee Member, but I've been really busy these two days..." This was the truth, and he didn't mean to shirk responsibility.

Ji Su's eyes moved, and she said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go tell Teacher Si and ask her to have a heart-to-heart talk with your mother..."

Wen Liang suddenly felt overwhelmed. Giving someone an advantage is really a way to get killed! But if she agreed, Ji Su would inevitably be surrounded by rumors. Although she didn't care, she couldn't be selfish and ignore it. In a blink of an eye, she saw Ren Yi staring ahead like an old monk in meditation, but his little ears were erected high to eavesdrop. She immediately came up with a compromise: "If we rank last in the whole grade this time, it must be Ren Yi who is holding us back. Otherwise, you can help us make up for it?"

Ren Yi was overjoyed and didn't care about being insulted. He looked at Wen Liang with deep affection in his eyes, his voice trembling with excitement: "Wen... Brother Wen, you still care about your brothers..."

Wen Liang felt a chill in his heart and kicked him from under the table. MB, stay calm, you are such a pig, aren't you going to scare people away

Ji Su was stunned for a moment, then said cheerfully, "Okay! But if there are two of us, I'm afraid we won't have enough time. How about this, Meng Ke's grades are also very good, let her come and help you with your lessons."

Wen Liang secretly praised that this little girl had been dealing with him for a long time and her reaction was much faster than before. I pulled the first one and you dared to pull the second one. Now that the four of us are making up lessons, those women who blamed the man can't find fault with it, right

Ji Su pulled Meng Ke over. Meng Ke sighed and said, "Well, we are best friends now. Let's jump into the fire pit together! But, is there any benefit for us to help with the tutoring?"

Ren Yi patted his chest anxiously and said, "No problem. From now on, we will take care of your breakfast, Qinghe's soy milk and fried dough sticks!"

Wen Liang couldn't help but roll his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Brother, you have to take your time in negotiating the terms. If you sell out your cards all at once, won't we suffer a huge loss?"

Ji Su was stunned at first, his eyes flickered across Wen Liang's face, and he seemed to remember something, with a gentle smile on his face. Meng Ke burst out laughing, clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, this is a good idea! First it was my Ji Su who brought you breakfast, and now it's the other way around, it's retribution, retribution, hehe."

Fate comes and goes, fate is a circle, you are at the starting point and I am at the end point.

Thinking about it over and over again, missing you is a circle, I am at the starting point and you are at the end point.
