This Saturday's art performance was definitely the most exciting performance in the past three years for many junior high school students. It was not only a curtain call for their high school years, but also a performance of events that they had imagined countless times but eventually became reality.
Confessing one's love to a girl in public is something that many young men have rehearsed countless times in their minds, but it will never become a reality. In other words, no fool would dare to actually do it.
However, they actually saw this scene come to fruition, and the ending was as tragic as expected. Of course, in the end, Cheng Ran's solution made the whole audience burst into laughter, making the incident seem like a funny comedy, but it was still a tragedy.
Cheng Ran will also become a legend in the mouths of many people. He will inevitably start his story like this, "When I was in junior high school, there was a buddy who planned to confess his love to a girl at a cultural performance. He read a love poem, but was spit on in the face in public..."
In the evening, in addition to the call from her mother from the head teacher Li Zhan asking for the parents to come, there was also a call from Yu Xiao expressing her condolences. "At the time, I thought, you at least had the courage to express your feelings. Yang Xia took the flowers and didn't need her to respond, but the matter was almost settled... I didn't expect her to react so strongly. I had the courage to call her before, but when she picked up and heard my voice, she hung up directly..."
"I swear, if I knew this would be the result, I would never let Jiang Chuan play this, and I would even stop you from recording it..."
Cheng Ran responded gently on the other end of the phone, "I see... That's why people hope to go back to the past... Isn't it just to change the things that have already happened..." The reality is that even if you come back, you may not be able to avoid the pit!
"Cheng Ran, why are you so calm? Don't scare me. Don't be so disheartened. You should be full of hope for life. It's just a failure in front of everyone in the school. I'll go outside and watch now. Don't try to jump out of the window..."
Cheng Ran really wanted to reach in through the phone and give him a slap on the face. Could they chat
But now that I think about it, Yang Xia was probably also scared, so I should give her a call to express my condolences.
After hanging up the phone with Yu Xiao, Cheng Ran called Yang Xia's home. It was her father who answered the phone. Cheng Ran said, "Uncle, I'm Cheng Ran, looking for Yang Xia."
"Wait a moment."
The voice of Yang Xia's father could be heard faintly from the phone, "Cheng Ran is calling you..."
"Hang up, I don't want to answer."
After a while, Yang Xia's father's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Cheng Ran, Yang Xia is asleep, call again tomorrow..."
Holding the busy phone, Cheng Ran shook his head and hung up the receiver.
This is probably because I hate myself so much.
I can only apologize to her when we meet in class.
As a result, when they went to school on Monday, the two of them came out of the apartment building together. Cheng Ran walked up to them and said, "Yang..."
Yang Xia suddenly quickened her pace and left him behind. Then a train arrived in front of her, so she trotted onto the train. When Cheng Ran walked out of the gate, the door had already closed. She sat by the window, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Cheng Ran already standing on the platform. She subconsciously turned her head to look and found that Cheng Ran was still looking at her. Her gaze just met his, so she quickly turned her head back and didn't look away again.
After Cheng Ran got into the next car, he ran into a few acquaintances from his grade. These guys who usually didn't talk much were talking nonstop about his performance in the cultural performance. To use the words of later generations, they were almost like crazy fans of him.
Although Cheng Ran tried his best to change the topic and asked them to speak more quietly, this small group of people did spread what should and shouldn't be said throughout the car, so much so that many people kept looking at Cheng Ran.
This situation continued from inside the car until he entered the school and climbed up to the floor where his grade was located. Seeing those pairs of eyes, Cheng Ran felt like a panda for the first time.
Cheng Feiyang arrived at school around 11 o'clock. To his surprise, he did not suffer the teacher's sarcastic scolding as expected after his parents were invited. Li Zhan initially said coldly to Cheng Feiyang in the office, "I can't teach your son anymore. He is very capable..."
As a result, he was intercepted by Vice President Zhang Ming just as he started. Zhang Ming came to the door in person and asked Cheng Feiyang to go to his office to discuss Cheng Ran's situation.
Cheng Feiyang was also nervous. After arriving at Zhang Ming's office, he was still a little hesitant, "Director Zhang, Cheng Ran has always been a troublesome kid. I will go back and teach him a lesson. If I have to record his demerit... I am about to graduate from junior high school. If it is really recorded in the file, my future will be affected..."
"Sit, sit, sit... Let's sit down and talk, don't stand..."
Seeing Zhang Ming constantly greeting him, Cheng Feiyang sat down on the sofa a little nervously, and then the vice-president came over and poured him a cup of tea.
What is going on? His hands trembled. Is he going to fire Cheng Ran
Cheng Feiyang really couldn't understand. Zhang Ming was somewhat famous in Shanhai City. After all, he was the vice-principal of the junior high school and was in charge of the teaching department. Many people would come to him for questions about their children or relatives' further education. Cheng Feiyang had also heard many rumors. Zhang Ming was very arrogant and would ignore people who had no importance, and he was not afraid of offending you.
Cheng Feiyang looked at Zhang Ming nervously.
Zhang Ming said slowly, "I think Cheng Ran is a very good kid."
Well, isn't Cheng Ran wrong in saying this
Cheng Feiyang probed, "Is he a little impulsive..."
"Young people, everyone has those impulsive moments... But in my opinion, it's not a big deal... After all, it's just reciting a beautiful poem." Zhang Ming smiled, and the flesh on his face piled up, "Everyone has such a period, so we should be more understanding, instead of blaming, right..."
"Is that so... I knew that this kid would be sensible... and not too reckless..." Cheng Feiyang finally relaxed, and his heart was touched. He even looked at Zhang Ming with a kind of friendliness. What was going on? It seemed that since childhood, every time he asked Cheng Ran's parents to come to school because of his poor grades or mistakes in school, he was ridiculed and given a cold shoulder. But in front of the teacher, you dare not get angry at all. No matter how respected you are in society, when facing your child's teacher, you are no different from a primary school student.
But today, I actually felt...felt...at home
What is this about...
"Well, I heard that Cheng Ran has a cousin who is the deputy director of the public security department in Shanhai City. His name is Cheng Bin..."
"Yes, yes, that's my cousin..."
"That's it... I heard that your cousin is a combat hero, a soldier who was promoted to director based on his ability. I have admired him for a long time. Cousin, when can you call your cousin out? I will treat you all so that we can get to know each other and become friends... I have been engaged in cultural and educational work all my life, and I really admire your cousin's work. It is dangerous, but it carries great responsibility. I also have great respect for his profession. I wanted to be a soldier back then..."
The two of them were actually chatting enthusiastically in Zhang Ming's room.
After a long while, Zhang Ming came out with his arm around Cheng Feiyang's shoulders, patting him on the shoulder. "I left your phone number here, Brother Cheng. It's not too much to call you Brother Cheng. If I had joined the army, we might still be comrades-in-arms, and you would still be my old squad leader! If you recognize me as your brother, then let's make an appointment... Talk to our brothers, let's get together, and have a few drinks then!"
Cheng Feiyang felt so warm in his heart, he felt that the rumor that Vice Principal Zhang, the Dean of Studies, said that people's eyes should be raised to their noses, was all false. The next time someone said that in front of him, he would definitely fight back and clear Zhang Ming's name!
The vice principal in front of him was so kind and friendly, calling him a brother, and was so humble. He had a very good personality! Although Cheng Feiyang also vaguely guessed that Zhang Ming might have known the identity of Cheng Ran's cousin, and that he might have to make some connections, but in this matter, everyone was an adult, and you were his son, the vice principal. You said a word, and I couldn't help you? There was no need to deliberately humble yourself...
So naturally, Cheng Feiyang felt that Cheng Ran's teaching director Zhang Ming was really a scholar. Because he was unable to join the army, he had feelings for the soldiers. Thinking of this, Cheng Feiyang was also somewhat moved and felt that his choice to join the army was a good choice. Look at others, how envious you are!
Thinking of this, Cheng Feiyang felt that his bronze star of military rank shone even brighter...
I will keep the pace of this book moderate, not as rushed as Nirvana, I think it might be better to tell the story slowly. Hehe, tomorrow's update will not be at 9 o'clock, it will be a little later.
