The first time in history

Zhang Xiaomin gently opened the sheet music and patiently explained to the elderly: "Grandpas and aunts, let me first tell you about the high-pitched part of this section, because we think this is the most difficult part of the whole song, so when singing here, we must pay attention to breath control."

An old man asked, "Little girl, how do you control your breath?"

Qian Mingduo took over the conversation: "Look, sir, just like this, take a deep breath, then exhale slowly, and feel the strength of your abdomen." As he spoke, he began to demonstrate.

During the rehearsal, Zhou Lan found that an old lady could not keep up with the rhythm, so she walked over to her and said, "Grandma, don't worry, let's slow down first, just follow my beat."

Grandma was a little embarrassed: "Oh, little girl, am I too stupid?"

Zhang Xiaomin comforted her: "Grandma, you are not stupid at all. You are already great. Just practice a few more times."

On the bus back to school, Lin Xiao held Qian Mingduo's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear. Her other hand gently hugged Qian Mingduo's arm, and she leaned against him.

As the bus swayed, Lin Xiao's tall and elastic breasts occasionally touched Qian Mingduo's arms, giving him a subtle touch. This vague contact made Qian Mingduo's heart beat faster involuntarily.

He was a little nervous and secretly glanced at Lin Xiao's beautiful face. He thought to himself, "Does this count as physical intimacy?"

Lin Xiao seemed to be aware of Qian Mingduo's thoughts, but she did not avoid him deliberately, but deliberately moved closer. In this way, the distance between the two was closer, and Qian Mingduo could even smell the faint fragrance of Lin Xiao.

When the bus reached an intersection, the driver suddenly braked, and the passengers on the bus fell forward. Lin Xiao, who was not standing firmly, suddenly fell towards Qian Mingduo. Qian Mingduo quickly reached out to hold her, but accidentally touched her soft chest.

Lin Xiao's face flushed immediately, and he looked at Qian Mingduo shyly, then gently pushed his hand away. Qian Mingduo also felt a little embarrassed, and stammered to explain: "I'm sorry... I didn't mean it..."

Lin Xiao smiled and said softly, "It's okay, you're just helping me out of kindness." Although she said this, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, this was her first time to have such close contact with a boy.

"What are you two talking about?" Zhou Lan and Zhang Xiaomin had been facing away from Qian Mingduo and Lin Xiao since they got on the bus. When they heard what they were talking about, Zhou Lan turned around and asked, "What are you whispering about?"

Lin Xiao glanced at Qian Mingduo, did not answer, just smiled shyly.

"Lin Xiao and I were just talking about what delicious food you two were going to treat us to?" Qian Mingduo felt Lin Xiao's hand tighten, so he looked at Lin Xiao and found that she was looking at him and nodding vigorously, so he continued, "After all, you two are rehearsing for a fee today, not voluntarily!"

"It's only fifty yuan anyway, just decide what you two want to eat," Zhang Xiaomin said jokingly.

"Then let's talk about it at the gate of our school." Lin Xiao said to Zhou Lan and Zhang Xiaomin with a sly smile: "I'll eat you two out of money!"

"If you don't have money to pay the bill, let Qian Mingduo sing in the restaurant." Zhou Lan patted Qian Mingduo on the shoulder. "Today I realized that you sing really well. It would be a waste if you didn't go and sing."

"Ha, ha, ha..." Several girls laughed happily. Their laughter was like flowers blooming in spring, bright and full of vitality. It was the laughter unique to youth, which seemed to be able to dispel all the haze and make the whole world immersed in their joy.

Qian Mingduo wiped Lin Leilei's mountain bike carefully again, and then carefully moved it downstairs to the dormitory. He was embarrassed to always go to Lin Leilei's house for dinner, so he deliberately avoided dinner time and rode home at seven o'clock.

Today is the weekend, and Lin Leilei has a feeling that Qian Mingduo might come back late. But she is looking forward to it because Qian Mingduo promised to fix her mountain bike.

When he comes to deliver the car, you can see him. When Lin Leilei thinks of Qian Mingduo, her heart feels as sweet as if it were filled with honey.

Lin Leilei could walk slowly now, and the swelling in her ankle had basically subsided. Before dinner, she lay on the windowsill and observed the movements downstairs. She sat down at the table slowly until her mother called her to eat.

While eating, Lin Leilei also pricked up her ears. If there was any movement in the corridor, she would stop eating and carefully identify whether Qian Mingduo had returned.

I finished my dinner absentmindedly. My mother was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, while Lin Leilei was flipping through her guitar exercise book on the sofa.

"Mom?" Lin Leilei seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Su Yaqin loudly, "Brother Xiaoming didn't leave us a phone number or a pager or something, right?"

"No?" Su Yaqin answered while talking, "Didn't I leave any for you?"

"I don't know if he has a cell phone," Lin Leilei pouted, "but he didn't leave one for me."

Just as he was about to get up to go to the bathroom, he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor. Lin Leilei stood at the door and listened carefully.

Until there was a rustling sound outside the door, Lin Leilei knew that it must be Qian Mingduo who came back, because his father went to study in another place, and only Qian Mingduo would come back to the third floor.

She had no urge to urinate and stood at the door, waiting to open the door for Qian Mingduo. But from the sound in the corridor, it seemed that Qian Mingduo had opened the door of his own room.

Lin Leilei was wondering when there was a knock on the door. Her heart began to beat wildly, and she adjusted her breathing as she put her hand on the door lock.

Just then, Su Yaqin asked in the kitchen: "Leilei, go see who is knocking on the door."

"Got it." Lin Leilei stuck out her tongue and slowly opened the door.

"Hello!" Qian Mingduo held the mountain bike with one hand and swung the other hand left and right to greet Lin Leilei, "I'm here to bring you the bike."

"Brother Xiaoming," Lin Leilei smiled sweetly, "Why did you come back so late?" After saying that, she immediately regretted asking that question, and without waiting for Qian Mingduo to answer, she quickly asked, "Is today the weekend?"

"Yes!" Qian Mingduo said with a smile, "Otherwise I can't go home!"

"Mom," Lin Leilei said towards the house, "It's Brother Xiaoming. He brought me a bicycle."

"Then quickly call Brother Xiaoming in!" Su Yaqin wiped her hands with her apron and walked to the door. "Xiaoming, come in quickly."

Qian Mingduo pushed the mountain bike into the room and leaned it against the wall of the living room.

"Have you had dinner?" Su Yaqin asked enthusiastically, "It would be great if you could come back earlier so we can have dinner together."

"I've eaten, Auntie." Qian Mingduo sat on the sofa and glanced at Lin Leilei. "I had something to do at school today, so I came back late."

"Come home early on weekends next time." Su Yaqin took out a can of Jianlibao from the refrigerator and handed it to Qian Mingduo, "Have dinner with us. Don't be polite to Auntie!"
