The first time in history

"Come down." Wu Xu said as he walked into the building. "Lin Xiao wants to see you."

"I'll be right down." Qian Mingduo turned the mountain bike around, parked it against the wall, said hello to Xiaodong, and walked downstairs.

Lin Xiao wore a bright red baseball cap today, with her hair tied into a ponytail outside the cap, a denim skirt, a pure white sleeveless T-shirt, and a pair of light pink sneakers. She looked youthful, beautiful, and fresh.

"Not bad!" Qian Mingduo nodded when he saw Lin Xiao dressed like this. "You look so pretty today!"

"Is it pretty?" Lin Xiao turned around and posed. Then he covered his mouth and smiled shyly: "Is it stupid?"

"What are you talking about?" Qian Mingduo scanned Lin Xiao from head to toe again. "Besides being beautiful, she is extremely beautiful!"

"Really?" Lin Xiao said shyly, "If you think it's beautiful, then it must be beautiful."

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Qian Mingduo turned around and glanced at Wu Xu and Xiao Dong who were lying on the windowsill watching him and Lin Xiao. "Hurry up and tell me. Don't let those two keep staring at us."

"Hmm..." Lin Xiao also glanced upstairs. "Zhou Lan and Zhang Xiaomin have taken on a job to coach a community's senior choir, but they are worried that they won't be able to coach it and will mess it up. So they asked me to invite you to go with them to help coach them. Can you go?"

"Community senior choir?" Qian Mingduo said, "What's so difficult about coaching this? Can't I coach a senior choir?"

"It's not that I can't give you guidance. I'm just worried that I can't. You've been playing the piano since you were young, and you sing so well. You've always won first place in our school's campus singing competition. Wouldn't it be great if you could give me some guidance?"

"You're saying nothing." Qian Mingduo said with a smile, "Why worry about not being able to guide me?"

"The key is..." Lin Xiao smiled embarrassedly, "The community gave them fifty yuan. It would be fine if they didn't give them money, but the nature of the money would be different. If the guidance is not good, they would feel sorry for the money they gave!"

"That's what's going on!" Qian Mingduo thought about it and said, "Then are you going or not?"

"If you go, I'll go with you."

"Did you promise them both for me?"

"No." Lin Xiao shook his head. "I just promised them that I would come and ask if you could go."

"Hmm..." Qian Mingduo looked at Lin Xiao, put his head close to her, and whispered, "You must have agreed to them, otherwise why would you dress so beautifully and put on makeup?"

"No!" Lin Xiao bit her lower lip slightly. "Are you going?"

"Go," Qian Mingduo said cheerfully, "I'll go if you go. You're dressed so beautifully. I'll go wherever you go. Is that right?"

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded happily.

After Qian Mingduo and Lin Xiao met up with Zhou Lan and Zhang Xiaomin at the school gate, the four of them got on the bus.

After getting on the bus, several people were chatting. Qian Mingduo noticed that a middle-aged man in his forties sitting by the window kept looking back at Lin Xiao, so he followed the middle-aged man's gaze and looked at Lin Xiao.

He suddenly understood why the middle-aged man kept looking at Lin Xiao, so he whispered in Lin Xiao's ear: "That person is always looking at you."

"What?" Lin Xiao asked in confusion, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Look," Qian Mingduo raised his head towards the middle-aged man.

At this moment, the middle-aged man turned around again, and Lin Xiao found that his eyes were fixed on his armpits. Seeing that Lin Xiao was looking at him, the man quickly turned his head away. Lin Xiao immediately put down his right hand holding the horizontal bar and said with a red face: "How annoying."

The bus stopped and started suddenly, the body of the bus was shaking violently, and the passengers inside were shaking with the body of the bus. Lin Xiao didn't dare to hold the horizontal bar anymore, she was afraid of that obscene look.

Just when she was unsteady on her feet, Qian Mingduo grabbed Lin Xiao's hand, and Lin Xiao took the opportunity to hold Qian Mingduo's hand tightly. The two interlocked their fingers, and Lin Xiao's other hand hugged Qian Mingduo's arm.

The middle-aged man turned around again and found that Lin Xiao and Qian Mingduo were looking at him fiercely. He quickly looked at the roof of the car and then quickly turned his head away.

Lin Xiao was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt today, which caused her armpit hair to show when she held the horizontal bar of the bus with her hands. When the middle-aged man noticed it, he would turn around and peek at her from time to time.

When the bus stopped at the next stop, the wretched middle-aged man got off the bus in a hurry. Qian Mingduo looked at Lin Xiao and found that her face was still red, so he squeezed her hand tightly to comfort her.

Lin Xiao kept pouting and staring at the middle-aged man's back. It was not until the bus left the station that Lin Xiao said softly, "This man is so annoying."

"That's it," Qian Mingduo echoed, "A wretched man." He glanced at Lin Xiao and whispered, "Don't you shave your armpits?"

"I forgot today." Lin Xiao's face turned red again, and he whispered, "I'll go find you after I change my clothes..."

"Well...but...it's quite sexy." Qian Mingduo winked at Lin Xiao.

"Nonsense!" Lin Xiao blushed and squeezed Qian Mingduo's hand hard.

The Willow Street Community is located in an area surrounded by greenery. The streets here are lined with lush willow trees. When the breeze blows, the willow branches sway in the wind, as if telling people the story of the years. The community is also named after the willow trees.

The four of them arrived at the Liushu Street Community and met community secretary Wang Qiang, who was on his way out to do some work, at the door. He greeted them warmly, "Welcome, students. We've been waiting for you to come! Our community's senior choir is counting on you to guide us."

Zhou Lan quickly said, "Secretary Wang, you are so polite. It is our honor to serve the community."

Zhang Xiaomin also nodded: "Yes, Secretary Wang, we will do our best!"

Secretary Wang Qiang invited the four people into the community activity room. The members of the senior choir had already lined up neatly, their eyes full of anticipation for the rehearsal. The secretary briefly introduced Zhou Lan and the others to the choir members, and then left in a hurry.

Zhou Lan took the lead and greeted everyone with a smile: "Grandpas and aunties, let's work hard together today and make our singing more beautiful! Okay?"

An old lady with gray hair smiled and responded: "Girls, I heard that you are all talented students from the Sun Yat-sen University Conservatory of Music. You are great at singing. You must teach us well!"

"No problem." Zhou Lan replied with a smile: "We will do our best, don't worry!"
