Eleven years later
"Wow, is that Senior An Sheng? Ah, so handsome!"
"Yeah, you just came in in the first year of high school. You haven't seen Senior An Sheng's live performance, right? He is handsome when he talks about the piano, just like a prince."
A group of girls looked secretly at a tall and thin boy who came out of the Academic Affairs Office holding a thick booklet. While making sure that the other party couldn't hear him, they lowered their voices and screamed in delight.
Such scenes often occur in Xuzhou No. 7 Middle School. Who makes this a restless age, and there is a school grass, Xiao Ansheng, who is most likely to attract girls' attention.
"Senior Xiao doesn't seem to like to talk very much, and he feels quite indifferent."
There are always a few girls who don't like Xiao Ansheng's school grass, and they can't understand how their friends and girlfriends scream excitedly for a man who can't say a few words all year round.
"Hey, what do you know?"
A girl with a slightly chubby apple face looked at Xiao Ansheng's retreating back, with little stars in her eyes.
"I heard that the senior's parents died in a car accident when he was very young. The senior witnessed the death of his parents, so he suddenly changed from a lively, lovely and enthusiastic little boy to a melancholy and silent boy who can only focus on music. Senior Xiao is really pitiful, how can we exclude him and ignore him because of his cold temper?"
Girls of this age always like to see those domineering presidents fall in love with me or the schoolgirls fall in love with Cinderella, and in this category, there will always be a pitiful melancholy male supporting character.
It is said that the male protagonist belongs to the female protagonist, and the male supporting role belongs to everyone. When there is a character who is the same as the male supporting role in life, how can people not be moved.
"Ah, how did I hear that the senior's father had cancer, and the senior's mother died of depression not long after the senior's father died because he loved his father too much. Why did the senior become so silent because of losing relatives one after another?"
The other girl obviously heard different gossip content, and she believed what she knew more, and without thinking about it, refuted what the person in front of her said.
Obviously, the rumors that involve the parents' poignant love story have more feelings than the depression caused by the car accident.
"Anyway, the senior is very good!"
Several people expressed their opinions on different versions of the rumors, but no one could convince anyone, so they simply stopped the previous topic and simply licked their faces.
Senior Xiao's grades are not top-notch, but he has never jumped out of the top 50 in the grade. There are more than 1,000 students in the second grade of the seventh middle school and high school. Such grades can be regarded as top students.
And senior Xiao looks good, wearing a simple white shirt, just like the template in the hearts of thousands of girls, plus he can play the piano, guitar, drums, violin... Such an all-round teenager , just a little taciturn, what can't you accept
Especially when there are sad and sad stories behind his reticence, it is not a problem. On the contrary, the more silent and melancholy he is, the more pity he can evoke in the hearts of girls.
"Actually, thinking about it carefully, a male god like Senior Fan is the best, because he doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't get close to anyone. As a girlfriend fan, there is no need to worry that Senior Fan will conjure us a senior sister one day."
The apple-faced girl said with a dreamy face, "Looking at it from another angle, this kind of man who is usually cold-hearted, as if nothing can stir his heart, once he likes a certain girl, he will definitely spoil that girl as a little princess. right?"
In case, if the senior is blind, she is the girl she is looking for. When she thinks that she has a chance to be hit by shit luck and become the woman the senior holds in her palm, her nose bleeds dry.
"Ahhh!"
"Ooooooooooooooooo!"
It seems that some noise is intruding, but it doesn't matter. Listening to the analysis of the apple-faced girl, the girls present can't help stomping their feet in excitement. Several people are holding their hands and jumping around, as if the fantasy will really come true.
Yes, what is the difference between Senior Xiao and the popular traffic superstar? One is close, and the other is far away. Rather than chasing those stars who are not in contact at all, it is better to be Fan Xiao.
In case one day I am fortunate enough to become a school sister-in-law, Xianyu also has a dream.
Jiang Liu held a stack of textbooks and returned to his class with a blank face. Then he put the stack of textbooks on the podium, returned to his own place, picked up the pen and paper on the table, and wrote about others. Incomprehensible notes.
Eleven years was enough for him to learn how to control his emotions and how to control his body. Although he couldn't return to the level of a normal person, he was obviously much better than his original body in his previous life.
However, he did not show his true state, but imitated the original body of his previous life and continued his original life trajectory.
"An Sheng, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Jiang Liu's deskmate was a math class representative. Originally, he was going to go to the math teacher's office to retrieve the homework that he handed in yesterday before the math class started. Who knew that halfway through, he suddenly had a stomachache and could only grab Jiang Liu who had just come out of the toilet. When a strong man, help him go to the office to get his homework.
In fact, he doesn't have any hope for Jiang Liu, because everyone knows how difficult it is for them to get close to the flower of the seventh high school. Even as his tablemate, after two years, the words of the two of them can be counted on one's fingers. , but the only strong man he could find at that time was Jiang Liu. Fortunately, he still had some love from his classmates at the same table, so he helped him get his homework.
Jiang Liu didn't care about the other party's thanks, his eyes were focused on the staff in his hand, and the pen in his hand was scribbling on the paper.
The time is almost up.
Looking at the staff in his hand, Jiang Liu's pupils suddenly tightened.

"Come on, An An, put incense sticks for your parents and grandpa."
Today is the Qingming Festival. According to the custom of his hometown, Lu Xiu prepared a table of fast food at home to worship the deceased relatives and officials from the underworld.
Wang Yuandong passed away three years ago. His health was not good, and he suffered a lot of minor illnesses. In addition, he suffered from the death of his only daughter and son-in-law in the early years, and his body became more and more depraved. His health is not good, and this obsession that he and his wife need to take care of him.
Fortunately, when the old man passed away, he didn't suffer too much pain, he didn't suffer too much guilt. The only thing he regretted was that he didn't see his grandson's disease completely cured.
Lu Xiu's physical condition is better than that of his wife, but now he is 73 years old. He has been taking medicine for years because of high blood pressure and high blood lipids. He also had heart bypass surgery a few years ago. I don't know how many years I can accompany Jiang Liu's grandson.
Seeing the grandson entering the house, the old lady took out a few incense sticks from the incense bag on the side and lit them, and handed them to the grandson.
Jiang Liu frowned, looking at the incense in his hand that didn't move.
"An'an, grandma knows that you are afraid that grandma will be affected, but if grandma doesn't make this vegetarian meal, no one will care about your mother, father, and grandfather underground."
Others may think that Jiang Liu's frown is unpleasant, but Lu Xiu, who has taken care of this grandson for more than ten years, knows that her grandson is distressed for her. After all, it is not easy to prepare a table full of fast food. Such a body simply cannot withstand overwork.
Lu Xiu is very happy. She feels that her grandson's illness is getting better and better, because one of the symptoms of autism is emotional indifference. There is no difference between her attitude towards relatives and ordinary people, but now her grandson is still taciturn. Xiu could feel the change in the grandson's attitude, especially his eyes, which were no longer dull and dull, and the old lady could read more emotions from the grandson's eyes.
These small changes made Lu Xiu happy. She felt that she might be able to see her grandson lead an ordinary life before she passed away.
"Don't blame grandma for nagging superstitions, these are the rules handed down by our ancestors, and grandma doesn't know that I can cook vegetarian meals for a few more years. Your parents are pitiful people. Besides me, who else remembers them? "
The old lady rambled about that when the family of three moved to Xuzhou City, they completely cut off relations with their relatives and friends in Yuzhou. Not only that, but the names and household registrations of the three were also changed.
The grandson changed his name to Xiao Ansheng. Xiao was the surname of Jiang Cheng's mother. The name Ansheng was given to the grandson by Wang Yuandong.
Although it was Wang Yuandong's name for their grandson, the two old people didn't like the new name of their grandson. They always felt that this new name meant that they were broken with everything in the past, and that Jiang Cheng and his daughter Wang Ruoyu were completely removed from this world. He disappeared, obviously he was the closest son to them, but he could no longer take his father's surname and his mother's name.
Therefore, when they get along with each other outside or in private, the couple are used to calling Jiang Liu's nickname An An, and will only call him his new name when necessary.
Over the years, the river has grown a lot, the original round apple face has become a angular, slightly thin face, the almond eyes have become slender, and the eye sockets have become more concave, I am afraid that even if he has seen In front of his elders, those people may not be able to recognize him as the son of Wang Ruoyu and Jiang Cheng.
Lu Xiu was both happy and sad about this. She was glad that those who had hatred with her son-in-law could not recognize her grandson by her appearance. She was sad that her grandson had nothing to do with her daughter and son-in-law except for her bloodline.
Especially when the daughter and son-in-law died when the grandson was still young, and he suffered from such a disease, I am afraid that the memory of his parents was vague.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiu's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
It's not that she doesn't want her grandson to remember her parents, but that she doesn't want such a tragic memory in her grandson's heart. When her daughter's body was found, her grandson was next to him. He was eating cake with his daughter's blood on the corner of his mouth. Looking back on that scene now, Lu Xiu still feels dizzy, not to mention the grandson who went through all that.
Fortunately, he has this disease, otherwise he would have gone crazy
Therefore, Lu Xiu didn't dare to mention her daughter and son-in-law all these years, she was afraid of awakening the blurred picture in her grandson's memory.
"Eh-"
Lu Xiu let out a long sigh. She was just looking ahead like this. When she died, who would remember to burn incense and burn paper for her daughter and son-in-law during the Qingming Chongyang Festival.
Hearing the old lady's sigh, Jiang Liu naturally guessed that the old lady remembered those things back then, his expression paused, he picked up a few sticks of incense in his hand and bowed, and then put the incense into the ashes.
"Good good."
Lu Xiu's thoughts were disturbed by her grandson. She forgot what she had just thought. She folded her hands and bowed to the altar table. It is very good that the grandson can offer face sacrifice in this situation. It is really difficult for him to say such a prayer, so he simply prays for him after he has finished worshiping.
"Go back to the room to do your homework first, and then grandma will help you bring dinner to the room."
Because of the vegetarian meal, dinner will be later than usual today, and most of Jiang Liu's living habits are fixed. If he doesn't eat at the prescribed time, his mood will become low and he will be more prone to irritability.
Lu Xiu knew about his grandson's problem, so whenever he made a vegetarian meal on Qingming Chongyang, he would set aside a dinner in advance.
In fact, the grandson's condition is much better now than at the beginning. In the earliest days, if his living habits were disrupted, he would not be able to control the noise and sometimes smash things. Now even if the biological clock is broken, it is only low. Air pressure, rarely screaming and smashing things.
"Um."
Jiang Liu nodded, turned and walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and took out the dishes that his grandma helped him prepare specially, and then put these dishes in the microwave for a spin.
Seeing that her grandson had done these things well, Lu Xiu felt more and more relieved. She looked at the candles on the sacrificial table, and couldn't help but her eyes were red. Underneath, she also had the face to see her daughter.

"Have you heard that Lizitai and Aishi Video Network are going to jointly hold a music talent show, claiming to select the best 6 players to form the best boy group in China."
"Have you heard? Aishi.com seems to have bought the copyright of the most popular talent show in the Kimchi country, Son of Music, and I don't know if this foreign variety show will not be acclimatized when it moves to China."
It is estimated that the most attention in the entertainment industry recently is the variety show The Son of Music, a variety show jointly organized by Lizitai and Aishi. The copyright of this talent show belongs to Kimchi Country, and Aishi bought the broadcast rights of this variety show at the beginning. It is the top three variety shows in all the variety shows of Aishi. It has a large audience base in China, especially some young girls, who are loyal fans of this variety show.
In the early years, there were voices hoping to buy the copyright of this variety show and hold a selection of the Chinese version of the Son of Music. Now the wish has come true, and naturally it has attracted much attention, especially the co-organization of this show is still Lizitai and Aishi Video. , which is even more exciting.
Lizitai has been going downhill in recent years. The ratings of both variety shows and purchased TV dramas have not reached the expected level. The loyal audience has also begun to be divided up by the rising Jiangshui TV and Star TV, but even so, it is the first brother of its TV station. position remains unchanged.
The management of Lizitai attaches great importance to the Son of Music organized this time, and regards it as a hope for the re-emergence of the TV station. They spend a lot of thought on publicity and program production, and absolutely do not allow any mistakes in this program.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Lizitai conference room was a bit tense. The director, deputy director and other management members were sitting in their respective positions, arguing endlessly over an issue.
"I think it's good to invite Lu Xiao, he is a veteran superstar, and his singing skills are nothing to say, and in his early years he became popular as a musical genius who composed his own music and lyrics, which is very consistent with our program. Let him be a judge, it seems that we The quality of this show is guaranteed.”
The one who spoke was the assistant director of the show Son of Music. He had an old friendship with Lu Xiao. In recent years, Lu Xiao did not get along well. He was worried about it in his eyes. In addition, Lu Xiao also found him and mentioned it before. In this matter, he also intends to sell Lu Xiao's face.
"I don't agree. Why was Lu Xiao so angry? He was a person who was caught for drug use."
Naturally, there are those who agree and those who disagree. A management with a relatively short temper slapped the table, "Don't you know how much the station attaches to this show? Why did you ruin a pot of porridge for this mouse shit? A bad actor like him has poor senses, how can he invite such a person to be a judge of the show?"
"I think it's pretty good, black and red are also red. Although our show has the mass base of the Kimchi Country version, the necessary publicity is also indispensable. If Lu Xiao is invited, the early publicity hotspots will be there. Besides, he He has performed well over the years. There are no more drug scandals. The audience is very forgetful. Eleven years have passed. There are still a few people who remember his drug use. Recently, some of his old songs are on the The video of Doudoukuai has become popular. Many short videos use his old songs as accompaniment. Many of those video messages sighed him. After all, Lu Xiao has strength and has actual achievements. An old senior at the level of a leader in the circle."
"I also agree that Lu Xiao hasn't been a demon all these years. His circle is really messed up. I haven't seen some relapsed people in the rock circle still active in the music circle. What kind of reckless and decadent character is he, there are still fans who eat it. In this set, Lu Xiao just made a mistake, we have to give people a chance to change."
"Yeah, Lu Xiao still has some connections. When the time comes, we can save a lot of money by inviting a significant guest for our show."
The voices of opposition were gradually suppressed by the voices of approval. After all, this society is still realistic. They don't care what Lu Xiao's character is, no matter what unforgivable mistakes he has made, as long as he still has popularity and exposure, he can Bringing enough benefits to the program team, all mistakes can be forgiven.
"Then choose Lu Xiao first. I suggest that our program team can go to Xiao Ran's agent to find out. Although he is an actor, he has sung the theme songs of many TV dramas and movies, and his singing skills are good. "Infernal Affairs" is a big hit, which can bring a lot of heat to the program team."
Today’s fans have ever-changing tastes, and small fresh meat is no longer the mainstream in the market. An old, calm and handsome uncle like Xiao Ran is also very popular with little girls. He may also be suitable for taking the road of uncles. He was not popular in the early years. , On the contrary, as he got older over the years, his popularity has gradually increased, and any casual Weibo post has hundreds of thousands of retweets.
"I think so."
A group of people began to discuss, wanting to decide a candidate as soon as possible, and contact the other agent.
