primary school principal
Chapter 50 Years
The homework in the new school was much heavier than expected, and Lu Yuzhou lost twenty catties after only two months of enrollment.
The music environment and education methods in foreign countries are quite different from those in China. There are too many new things worth absorbing, and there are too many places that need to be changed. They often break your original cognition and learning ideas, forcing you to learn more. Create a new system.
It's a bit like reconnecting a broken bone, or pressing the refresh button, but every day brings new challenges.
This process of constant refreshing gave Lu Yuzhou the illusion of getting rid of his past and starting again. He was like a sponge, impatiently absorbing everything around him.
He gets up at [-]:[-] a.m. and goes to bed at [-]:[-] p.m. on average every day, seven days a week without rest. After finishing his studies, he has to do a lot of finger exercises. This high-intensity learning rhythm makes him gradually enter a state of physical fatigue but mental excitement .
The efficiency of active learning and passive learning is very different. When Lu Yuzhou entered the school, his grades in all aspects were only average, but after one semester, he became one of the top students and won a full scholarship.
In addition to studying abroad, another challenge is to integrate into the local music circle. Lu Yuzhou's social skills can't be said to be bad, but they are by no means excellent. This is caused by his personal personality and ideology.His good popularity in C Yin is mainly due to his personal charm, and he rarely takes the initiative because he thinks it is not necessary. Over time, he has developed a habit of inert social interaction.
But in foreign countries, if you want to achieve certain results in the professional field, you must expand your horizons and expand your contacts, so as to obtain enough social information resources.
Fortunately, Lu Yuzhou has always been lucky. He made a local friend at school named Lance. This classmate had a relationship with him for a long time. It was the dark horse that shared half of his prize money in the Paris competition.
Lance is a popular figure in the school. He is not super handsome, but he is talented and rich. He is enthusiastic, cheerful and funny, so he has many friends.He especially likes Lu Yuzhou. According to him, he found Lu Yuzhou very attractive during the competition. After the competition, he tried to make friends with him, but Lu Yuzhou slipped too fast and he didn't find a chance.
Lance was one year younger than him, but he was one level ahead of him because Lu Yuzhou had retaken college courses.Under the care of Senior Lan, Lu Yuzhou quickly integrated into the school and the social circle outside the school, and even met several local performers - Lance's mother is a famous local violinist, so his family's social circle is very high-end.
The only problem is that this person is too enthusiastic, always keen to introduce male and female friends to Lu Yuzhou.He knew about Lu Yuzhou and Wu Ye, and when he first met Lu Yuzhou at school, he asked, "Didn't your boyfriend come with you?"
Because of this sentence, Lu Yuzhou almost excluded him from the social circle.
For Lu Yuzhou at that time, the three characters boyfriend were equivalent to a knife, and once the blade came out, it would surely smash the barrier he had built so hard to shield the past into pieces.
So he once regarded Lance as an enemy, and when he saw him, he would take a detour.
However, Senior Lan is a person who is more shameless than a certain junior, and cares about him unconditionally, so Lu Yuzhou's cold-faced diplomacy failed to stop Lance's enthusiasm, so this guy just "sneaked in" and became him. Foreign old iron in a foreign country.
When Lance was in Paris, he saw that Lu Yuzhou and Wu were a couple, so he thought Lu Yuzhou was gay, and the first thing he introduced was Qing Yishui's boyfriend, who was yellow, white, and black, tall and mighty The little bird has everything that one expects.
Later Lu Yuzhou said that he was not gay and did not want to have a boyfriend. Lance understood what he meant and stopped for a while.But it didn't stop for long, probably when Lu Yuzhou frantically completed his undergraduate credits in two years, this guy started to match him with girlfriends again.
In fact, he didn't need to bother looking for it. Lu Yuzhou had many admirers in school, and Lance was just acting as an intermediary for adult beauty, helping him to select the ones he thought were reliable.
In recent years, Lu Yuzhou is no longer like before, rejecting girls with a single shot. He will make friends with them, have dinner and parties together, but still will not develop further.At first Lance thought he had a relationship disorder, but then he finally figured out his pissing nature—there was only one reason why this guy didn't fall in love, and that was that he only identified one and didn't plan to make room for others.
This is incomprehensible territory for a guy who is bisexual and can change boyfriends and girlfriends faster than changing cars.
However, although the two of them can't pee in the same pot in terms of love, they are very compatible in other aspects, especially Lance is a pistachio and is very good at making Sister Fan happy. When there is no class, Lance often stays at Lu's house to accompany Yu Fan play, which greatly relieved Lu Yuzhou's pressure.
Lu Yuzhou continued to apply for a Ph.D. after finishing his master's degree for another two years, and Lance directly applied for a Ph.D. after graduation in order to continue to be his senior.In terms of learning, the two compete in various ways. For example, Lu Yuzhou won the No.1 in a certain competition, and Lance must choose a higher-level competition to win the first place to anger him.If the two participated in the same competition, Lance would definitely share Lu Yuzhou's prize money.
Thanks to Lance, Lu Yuzhou's life has become rich and colorful, and this kind of life will change a person unconsciously.
In the first year of his PhD, Zhi Zai flew to the United States to see him. When he got off the plane and met him, Sun Zhi watched him for 2 minutes without saying a word.
The two of them usually chat a few words almost every day, and make videos every three to five times. Sun Zhi can see that he is tired, tired or happy, but he can't see his overall state.The past five years are not short, and Sun Zhi suddenly felt a little strange when he suddenly faced a real Lu Yuzhou.
The face is still the same face, but the temperament and aura of the whole person are very different. The youthful innocence has faded, and it has become confident and elegant, with a faint sense of extravagance from the upper class. An eye-catching aura.
"What's the matter, Dui, you don't even recognize your ancestors?" Lu Yuzhou had just attended a concert, and he was wearing a suit and leather shoes. He stood with Sun Dui, who was wearing sportswear on the plane for comfort, like two class of people.
Sun Zhi was almost in tears. It was so touching to see his ancestors who had been reborn. He immediately dropped his bag, stepped forward and hugged Lu Yuzhou, giving him a long-lost reunion hug.
"Old Lu, I'm so excited, I just want to thank the time, thank the reunion, thank the sky and thank you...can I kiss you?"
Lu Yuzhou hugged Sun Zhi's face, kissed his increasingly oily forehead, and wiped the oil on his mouth with a paper, without temper: "It's fine to put oil on your head, why are you still putting it on your face? "
Sun Zhi wiped his face with a wet towel, and laughed, "I put on too much skin care products, it's hot and stuffy."
Lu Yuzhou looked at his increasingly thinning hairline and bulging belly, and asked suspiciously: "Zizi, you have only graduated two years ago, and you are still so obsessed with skin care, why are you still heading towards a mid-life crisis? "
"Hey," Sun Zhi sighed in the middle-aged exam, "It's not easy to start a business."
After graduating, Sun Zhi continued to work with Yang Yi to set up a studio. It is not an exaggeration to say that the road to entrepreneurship was a bloodbath. First of all, the first obstacle is funding.After he graduated, his father stopped all his expenses and withdrew his previous investment, saying that he wanted his son to experience self-made.
This tactic almost ruined the studio directly.
Fortunately, their team has a well-rounded and desperate third sister, plus a grandson with a three-inch tongue, the two of them are grandsons day and night, and a wave of investment has been abolished by their grandma's strength. studio.
The studio has just gotten better recently, and Lu Yuzhou has heard several works produced by their team, including the song produced for Gao Yang, and they are all pretty good.
"Don't talk about me, Sister Yi is almost out of beer belly." Sun Zhi patted her already mature stomach and said, "She keeps herself in shape by being hungry all day long, so it doesn't matter to us gentlemen, right? That's it. , anyway, I don’t rely on my appearance for a living.”
"Sister Yi?" Lu Yuzhou smiled and poked his elbow on his chest, "Hey, you haven't been interrogated yet, did you break up with your Xiaoyu? I haven't heard you talking about it for a while."
The long-lost reunion smile froze on Sun Zhi's face for a moment, and he felt that there was something wrong with what he said.
In fact, ever since Lu Yuzhou went abroad, Sun Zhi didn't mention Xiao Yu. He didn't mention it at first, because he was afraid that he would be stimulated, and he would be struck by lightning if he showed affection to a lovelorn dog.Later, they broke up in senior year, and Sun Zhi didn't mention it, because he was still afraid that he would be sad when he heard the news of the broken relationship.
Although five years is not too long, isn't this "some time" time limit a bit too short?It's as if he is not on the same time frequency as others.
But at this moment, Sun Zhi didn't think deeply about it. He explained that Lu Yuzhou was too busy. When a person was devoted to one thing, he might not have time to notice the passage of time.
"After graduation, we went back to each family to find fault with each other." Sun Zhi saw that Lu Yuzhou was doing well, without the burden of thinking, so he didn't hide it. She has to be like a big sister, the whole studio calls her sister."
Lu Yuzhou didn't believe it, "Sister is also called Sister Yang, right? Are you the only one called Sister Yi?"
Sun Zhi cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Don't talk nonsense, I am now a business partner with her, of course it is better than being close to others."
"I really believe in your evil." Lu Yuzhou helped Sun Zhi drag the luggage, and the two walked out of the airport to a Ferrari parked by the side of the road.
Sun Zhi was stunned, "Fuck me old Lu, are you so proud to go to school in the United States?"
"This is not my car." Lu Yuzhou walked to the driver's seat and knocked on the window, "Wake up, Lanzhu!"
Lance opened his eyes sleepily, got out of the car with a daze, then hung on Lu Yuzhou's body and continued to sleep, following him wherever he went, just like a piece of dog skin plaster.
Sun Zhi choked up on the spot.
Fuck, who is this?
Damn, Lao Lu actually has a new love?
Fuck, no wonder he's reborn so quickly!Comrade Zhizai couldn't say whether he was happy or regretful at the moment. He hoped that Lu Yuzhou would develop a new relationship, but at the same time he regretted his past. He and Wu were really hard to get along.
"I'll drive if you're tired?" Lu Yuzhou closed the trunk and patted the dog's head on his shoulder.
Lance had a good night last night, and today he participated in the concert. He was exhausted, but it didn't hinder his enthusiasm. Hearing that Lu Yuzhou was coming to pick up his friends, he followed him to be the driver.
"No, I just need to step on the gas pedal to be refreshed." Lance climbed on Lu Yuzhou's shoulder and yawned, while waving hello to Sun Zhi in broken Chinese: "Hi, fish's good buddy!"
Sun Zhi didn't realize that he was speaking Chinese at all, so he pretended to understand and replied in even poorer English: "No, thanks!"
I don't like fish, thank you.
Lance looked confused: "what?"
Lu Yuzhou laughed like a dog.
Then the old and new irons chatted awkwardly in this way for a long time.After getting in the car, Lu Yuzhou sat in the back seat with Sun Zhi, and Sun Zhi secretly asked him, "Which country is this guy from? Does he speak English?"
Lu Yuzhou said, "Langli Pig Republic."
"???" Sun Zhi thought for a long time, but he didn't think of such a country, and thought he was ignorant, "Where is it?"
Lu Yuzhou: "The border between China and the United States."
Sun Zhi: "..."
Lance, who didn't understand a sentence, was even more frantic, "fish? What are you talking about, why don't you translate for me?"
"No, thanks!" Sun Zhi said, "My buddy is too enthusiastic, just tell him to eat some meat."
Lu Yuzhou: "Hahahaha!"
Sun Zhi, who hadn't heard him laugh for a long time, felt very relieved, so he recognized his new yellow-haired boyfriend in this way.
The airport was quite far from Lu Yuzhou's home, and the enthusiastic Lance simply drove them around a few more times, allowing Sun Zhi to see the scenery of New York.
Lance and Sun are two living treasures. There is a language gap between them. I don’t know why they always like to chat. Because the human translation is sometimes messy, Lance directly opened the translation software.
"I heard that you work in a music studio?" Lance asked him interestedly, "Do you know the singer who sang the song "The Appearance of Love"?"
Sun Zhi: "..."
Sun Zhi, who was talking eloquently just now, fell silent, and Lu Yuzhou looked at him puzzled.
Lance was out of the situation, and continued to say to the phone: "I like this song very much. Although the original singing doesn't particularly suit my feelings, I still want to know him very much."
Sun Zhi: "..."
"The Appearance of Love" was sung by Lin Ling, but the lyrics and music were written by Wu Ye, which was the song "Chasing Light".
Sun Zhi didn't know what was going on inside their company. Anyway, after the song was released, the creator became Lin Ling.
What Lance wants to see should be its songwriter, that is, Wu Ye. Sun Zhi doesn't know how to explain it, but Lance, what you admire is the song of your boyfriend's ex-boyfriend?Or is it that your boyfriend's ex-boyfriend's song was sung by someone else?
Lu Yuzhou basically didn't pay attention to the affairs of the domestic music circle these years, so he didn't know this song at all, so he looked it up online.
Before he finished typing the search content, Sun Zhi reached out and covered the screen of his mobile phone, and told him personally: "This is sung by Lin Ling."
Speaking of Lin Ling, Lu Yuzhou vaguely guessed that Lin Ling belonged to the Yuan family.
He had never paid attention to entertainment companies before, and he didn't know what Yuan Shi was like, but he learned about Yuan Shi after that incident.
When he first came to the United States, his wounds were difficult to heal, and his heart ached unbearably. Even if he deliberately kept himself busy, he still suffered from occasional sleepless nights.
At this time, he had to take some "painkillers".
He is the only ingredient in the painkiller.
Where did he go, how is he doing now, he signed with Yuan Shi, what kind of company Yuan Shi is, will it be too sad for him to enter...
Lu Yuzhou searched for everything about him, occasionally found a clue, and he would be happy for a while, and it didn't matter if he couldn't find it. This process of searching with hope can paralyze his nerves, as if the next second Being able to dig up news about him is like winning the lottery.
Obviously afraid to hear everything about him, but can only rely on him to relieve the pain.
He is both a knife and a medicine.
Gradually, he successfully sealed up that part of the memory, and was able to control the "switch" with ease. As long as the door of that part of memory is closed, he can concentrate on the life in front of him for a long time without having to worry about it again. Go touch "painkillers".
But right now, when the value boy mentioned Yuan, Lu Yuzhou found that the so-called control "switch" was not as easy as he thought, and those memories about him just rolled out uncontrollably, clamoring to rebel against him.
"Yuan Shiting is not a thing. He bought out other people's lyrics and gave it to a singer, and packaged this singer as an original singer. I was thinking about Lin Ling's senior. There is nothing he can do. He and..." Sun Zhi watched After one glance at Lu Yuzhou, he was sure that there was nothing unusual about him before continuing, "He and Wu Ye have a good relationship, and I will definitely bring him to concerts and activities. Wu Ye has developed well in the past year, and people in the circle are very optimistic about him."
"However, the Yuan family has not been going well in the past two years, and they have been in constant trouble. I feel as if someone has punished them." Sun Zhi briefly mentioned Wu Ye, and then entered the plot of Shuangwen, "Peng Cheng, that bastard is evil. Bad news, he was sentenced to seven years last year for taking drugs | he……"
The more Sun Zhi talked, the more enjoyable he was, Lance's translation software had already gone on strike, and he kept talking about what, what...
But Lu Yuzhou's thoughts were entangled in that name, and he didn't hear a word of what Sun Zhi said later.
When he first took the "painkiller", he frantically typed his name in the dark, but later, this name became a taboo, he dared not think about it or look it up, and even his brain would automatically block these two words.
Lance drove them for nearly two hours, and the phrase "Is he okay" was always on the tip of Lu Yuzhou's tongue, but he couldn't get it out until he got home.
Yu Fan knew that Sun Dui was coming, so he specially prepared a table of Chinese food, but Lance was so happy. He loves Chinese food cooked by Fish’s mother, and he likes to help in the kitchen—although most of the time it’s not helpful, but with him, the kitchen There is always laughter.
Lu Yuzhou took Sun Zhi to the guest room on the third floor. Taking advantage of Lance's absence, Sun Zhi asked the question in his heart: "Old Lu, your mother accepted the little yellow hair?"
"Didn't you see it all? Sister Fan really likes him." Lu Yuzhou said while looking for slippers and towels for Sun Zhi.
Sun Zhi felt unbelievable, "This little yellow hair is very capable. He actually took down your mother. I have been with you for so many years and I am still afraid of her."
"He is mainly thick-skinned, begging for nothing to please people." Lu Yuzhou said, "But thanks to him, Sister Fan has been in good condition for the past few years."
Sun Zhi: "Then you two live together?"
"..." Lu Yuzhou finally realized that Sun Zhi seemed to have misunderstood something, "Same as your sister, he is my good friend, and he has the same nature as you."
Sun Zhi: "..."
Just now I was worrying about seeing my boyfriend's ex for Lance, but now it's him who is unlucky. How can I say this feeling, it's almost the same as meeting a rival in love.And the number of "rivals in love" is higher than him, not only won the old iron, but also won the old iron his mother.
After that, when Sun Zhi looked at Lance again, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. When the face was still like that, he would start to criticize him as soon as he left.
It's shameful to say that he is too open, just hug him and kiss Lu Yuzhou on the face!It's shameless to say that he insists on holding a parrot while eating, and it's too loud to say that he sings at every turn... Balabala, all in all, the little yellow hair is demoted to nothing.
Lu Yuzhou was delighted to hear the long-lost babbling, playing with the parrot, while lying on the sofa in the guest room with his legs crossed, echoing a few words from time to time.
"...I said, Old Lu, why did you have a parrot?" Sun Zhi's complaints about Lance came to an end, and he finally remembered to ask the parrot, "Didn't your mother not allow animals in the house?"
This parrot breed is a lovebird.
The year before last, Lu Yuzhou went to Paris to compete again, and went to the decoration shop with the lovebirds on purpose. He wanted to discuss with the boss again and buy the pair of lovebirds at a high price.
The last time he wanted to buy it, the boss said he would not sell it. At that time, Lu Yuzhou was very disappointed.I don't know why, that kind of bird can be seen everywhere, but he just wants that pair, like an obsession.
However, when we went again, the pair of birds had already been given away by the boss.
Lu Yuzhou was lost for a long time because of this, as if he lost something precious forever.
Later, he couldn't let go of his lovebird complex, so he asked Lance to help him find a place that sold this kind of bird, and bought a similar one to take home.Yu Fan didn't like keeping pets at home, but he insisted on keeping one, probably because he liked it very much, and Yu Fan later acquiesced, and because Lance often teased it, Yu Fan gradually began to like this little guy.
Lu Yuzhou was overjoyed by this for a while. Sister Fan has been receiving psychological intervention treatment, which means she has made progress.She used to not allow him to "play with things and lose his mind" at all, always rejecting his favorite things, even friends, but now she not only accepts Lance but also the parrot.
"She is much better now." Lu Yuzhou just explained in this way.
"Then..." Sun Zhi asked hesitantly, "Does this mean..."
He wanted to ask if it meant that you and Wu Ye still had hope, but he felt that it was meaningless to say it now.
The relaxed smile on Lu Yuzhou's face gradually turned into a kind of maintenance. Seeing him like this, Sun Zhi finally realized that something was wrong with him in the airport.
This guy is not reborn, it is clearly a rotten cucumber with fresh paint, under the seemingly bright, cheerful and mature skin, there are a bunch of old scars hidden.
That period of the past was still bloodied in his heart, and it hadn't healed in the long river of time. All the people and things in it were brutally sealed by him, and the seal was at most as thick as a sheet of paper.When others recall the past with him, he can pierce the seal by stretching out his hand, and come out to chat with others with some relevant and fresh past events, pretending to be far away, but actually still close in front of him.
"You're thinking too much, Mr. I and him...that's not the problem." After a while, Lu Yuzhou said with a smile.
You see, I dare not even mention people's names.
Sun Zhi sighed in his heart. After this sentence, he never mentioned Wu Ye as Lu Yuzhou again.
In the third year of Ph.D. study, Lu Yuzhou won the first prize in a very high-standard international competition, and was invited by a famous pianist to participate in his recital. fame.
Then came various performance opportunities and a lot of income. After he finished his doctoral studies, he had become a relatively mature professional pianist, and he was able to bear all the expenses of him and Sister Fan abroad. , even his dad can retire now, he can fully support the family.
Economic independence means that a person has the right to speak in the family and even in society. The most intuitive feeling is that he has gradually become the one who makes decisions at home.There is no need to ask your parents for instructions on big and small things, and he will do what he can.There is no need to invite his father to communicate with Sister Fan. Mr. Lu arranges for clients to come to the United States.
Missing grandma and grandpa, and brother Wei, he can buy a few tickets and arrange for them to fly here at any time.
In the past, he didn't dare to talk too much about the conflict between Brother Wei and his family, but now he can resolve the problems between them in his own way, and the results are remarkable.
In May of this year, there was a very important concert in China that required Lu Yuzhou to go back. There was no one at home to accompany Sister Fan, so he booked air tickets for his grandparents and told them to fly over to stay for a while.
Before leaving, Lu Yuzhou asked Wang Yu for the keys to his hometown. Wang Yu was curious about what he was doing, "Why didn't you tell me about something important at home? It would be great if we brought it here for you."
"It's not about taking things." Lu Yuzhou didn't tell the truth, "It's Lance who wants to visit our hometown and take him back to play for two days."
"You said it earlier, there is nothing to eat in the refrigerator." Wang Yu clapped the key in his hand angrily, "There is no embarrassment for foreign friends to visit our house."
Lu Yuzhou hugged his grandma and smiled, "It's okay, Lance is on his own, we can buy it now when we go."
I don't know if it's because he hasn't returned to China for many years. On the way to the airport, Lu Yuzhou suddenly felt a little homely and timid. He was silent all the way, and Lance kept protesting.
"Fish! I'm talking to you!"
Lu Yuzhou looked at him: "What did you say?"
"I said that I really want to see 'Zero'!" Lance's biggest wish in going to China is to meet the singer of "The Look of Love", that is, Lin Ling.
"I know you're a zero." Lu Yuzhou joked about him every day.
"Oh honey, I know you're a virgin, and you haven't experienced such fun." Lance bickered everyday, "But what I'm talking about is either this or that..." He hummed two lines of the melody, "That's the author. "
The long-lost familiar melody suddenly sounds like a lifetime away.
Lu Yuzhou's eyes turned to the outside of the car, looking at the orange-red sunset in the sky, somehow he remembered the morning sun on the train that day, the warm breath on his shoulders, and the lyrics in the small notebook on his lap.
There is still a video of him singing this song in the computer, but after so many years, Lu Yuzhou didn't have the courage to dig it out and take a look.It was the song of the two of them. He deeply remembered every melody and every line of the lyrics, but he didn't dare to play it out for aftertaste.
Brother Wei said that ten years of life is a hurdle, and once you cross a hurdle, you will take a lot of light and accept a lot. Keep going, the past will pass like that.
Lu Yuzhou didn't know how long it would take him to face the past calmly. Anyway, he failed in the first ten years.
During the long journey, Lu Yuzhou couldn't bring himself to chat with Lance, so he wore a blindfold to catch up on sleep. When he was in a daze, he put an earphone in his ear, and two familiar lyrics startled his dream.
I'm exhausted when I return
When I go, my heart is towards the sun
you rise with the morning light
You all look like love
……
Lance didn't know where to find the original version. It was the original audio that was circulated on the Internet in the early years. The sound quality was a bit shoddy, just like that period of unpolished teenage years.
The familiar melody, the voice that often appeared in midnight dreams, every sentence scratched in my heart, startled the ground to dust.
The author has something to say: Sorry for the long wait, I don’t know why this paragraph is so difficult to write.
Reunion in the next chapter!
Thank you Mengxi for the written talk, listening to the irrigation nutrient solution of the flowers!
The music environment and education methods in foreign countries are quite different from those in China. There are too many new things worth absorbing, and there are too many places that need to be changed. They often break your original cognition and learning ideas, forcing you to learn more. Create a new system.
It's a bit like reconnecting a broken bone, or pressing the refresh button, but every day brings new challenges.
This process of constant refreshing gave Lu Yuzhou the illusion of getting rid of his past and starting again. He was like a sponge, impatiently absorbing everything around him.
He gets up at [-]:[-] a.m. and goes to bed at [-]:[-] p.m. on average every day, seven days a week without rest. After finishing his studies, he has to do a lot of finger exercises. This high-intensity learning rhythm makes him gradually enter a state of physical fatigue but mental excitement .
The efficiency of active learning and passive learning is very different. When Lu Yuzhou entered the school, his grades in all aspects were only average, but after one semester, he became one of the top students and won a full scholarship.
In addition to studying abroad, another challenge is to integrate into the local music circle. Lu Yuzhou's social skills can't be said to be bad, but they are by no means excellent. This is caused by his personal personality and ideology.His good popularity in C Yin is mainly due to his personal charm, and he rarely takes the initiative because he thinks it is not necessary. Over time, he has developed a habit of inert social interaction.
But in foreign countries, if you want to achieve certain results in the professional field, you must expand your horizons and expand your contacts, so as to obtain enough social information resources.
Fortunately, Lu Yuzhou has always been lucky. He made a local friend at school named Lance. This classmate had a relationship with him for a long time. It was the dark horse that shared half of his prize money in the Paris competition.
Lance is a popular figure in the school. He is not super handsome, but he is talented and rich. He is enthusiastic, cheerful and funny, so he has many friends.He especially likes Lu Yuzhou. According to him, he found Lu Yuzhou very attractive during the competition. After the competition, he tried to make friends with him, but Lu Yuzhou slipped too fast and he didn't find a chance.
Lance was one year younger than him, but he was one level ahead of him because Lu Yuzhou had retaken college courses.Under the care of Senior Lan, Lu Yuzhou quickly integrated into the school and the social circle outside the school, and even met several local performers - Lance's mother is a famous local violinist, so his family's social circle is very high-end.
The only problem is that this person is too enthusiastic, always keen to introduce male and female friends to Lu Yuzhou.He knew about Lu Yuzhou and Wu Ye, and when he first met Lu Yuzhou at school, he asked, "Didn't your boyfriend come with you?"
Because of this sentence, Lu Yuzhou almost excluded him from the social circle.
For Lu Yuzhou at that time, the three characters boyfriend were equivalent to a knife, and once the blade came out, it would surely smash the barrier he had built so hard to shield the past into pieces.
So he once regarded Lance as an enemy, and when he saw him, he would take a detour.
However, Senior Lan is a person who is more shameless than a certain junior, and cares about him unconditionally, so Lu Yuzhou's cold-faced diplomacy failed to stop Lance's enthusiasm, so this guy just "sneaked in" and became him. Foreign old iron in a foreign country.
When Lance was in Paris, he saw that Lu Yuzhou and Wu were a couple, so he thought Lu Yuzhou was gay, and the first thing he introduced was Qing Yishui's boyfriend, who was yellow, white, and black, tall and mighty The little bird has everything that one expects.
Later Lu Yuzhou said that he was not gay and did not want to have a boyfriend. Lance understood what he meant and stopped for a while.But it didn't stop for long, probably when Lu Yuzhou frantically completed his undergraduate credits in two years, this guy started to match him with girlfriends again.
In fact, he didn't need to bother looking for it. Lu Yuzhou had many admirers in school, and Lance was just acting as an intermediary for adult beauty, helping him to select the ones he thought were reliable.
In recent years, Lu Yuzhou is no longer like before, rejecting girls with a single shot. He will make friends with them, have dinner and parties together, but still will not develop further.At first Lance thought he had a relationship disorder, but then he finally figured out his pissing nature—there was only one reason why this guy didn't fall in love, and that was that he only identified one and didn't plan to make room for others.
This is incomprehensible territory for a guy who is bisexual and can change boyfriends and girlfriends faster than changing cars.
However, although the two of them can't pee in the same pot in terms of love, they are very compatible in other aspects, especially Lance is a pistachio and is very good at making Sister Fan happy. When there is no class, Lance often stays at Lu's house to accompany Yu Fan play, which greatly relieved Lu Yuzhou's pressure.
Lu Yuzhou continued to apply for a Ph.D. after finishing his master's degree for another two years, and Lance directly applied for a Ph.D. after graduation in order to continue to be his senior.In terms of learning, the two compete in various ways. For example, Lu Yuzhou won the No.1 in a certain competition, and Lance must choose a higher-level competition to win the first place to anger him.If the two participated in the same competition, Lance would definitely share Lu Yuzhou's prize money.
Thanks to Lance, Lu Yuzhou's life has become rich and colorful, and this kind of life will change a person unconsciously.
In the first year of his PhD, Zhi Zai flew to the United States to see him. When he got off the plane and met him, Sun Zhi watched him for 2 minutes without saying a word.
The two of them usually chat a few words almost every day, and make videos every three to five times. Sun Zhi can see that he is tired, tired or happy, but he can't see his overall state.The past five years are not short, and Sun Zhi suddenly felt a little strange when he suddenly faced a real Lu Yuzhou.
The face is still the same face, but the temperament and aura of the whole person are very different. The youthful innocence has faded, and it has become confident and elegant, with a faint sense of extravagance from the upper class. An eye-catching aura.
"What's the matter, Dui, you don't even recognize your ancestors?" Lu Yuzhou had just attended a concert, and he was wearing a suit and leather shoes. He stood with Sun Dui, who was wearing sportswear on the plane for comfort, like two class of people.
Sun Zhi was almost in tears. It was so touching to see his ancestors who had been reborn. He immediately dropped his bag, stepped forward and hugged Lu Yuzhou, giving him a long-lost reunion hug.
"Old Lu, I'm so excited, I just want to thank the time, thank the reunion, thank the sky and thank you...can I kiss you?"
Lu Yuzhou hugged Sun Zhi's face, kissed his increasingly oily forehead, and wiped the oil on his mouth with a paper, without temper: "It's fine to put oil on your head, why are you still putting it on your face? "
Sun Zhi wiped his face with a wet towel, and laughed, "I put on too much skin care products, it's hot and stuffy."
Lu Yuzhou looked at his increasingly thinning hairline and bulging belly, and asked suspiciously: "Zizi, you have only graduated two years ago, and you are still so obsessed with skin care, why are you still heading towards a mid-life crisis? "
"Hey," Sun Zhi sighed in the middle-aged exam, "It's not easy to start a business."
After graduating, Sun Zhi continued to work with Yang Yi to set up a studio. It is not an exaggeration to say that the road to entrepreneurship was a bloodbath. First of all, the first obstacle is funding.After he graduated, his father stopped all his expenses and withdrew his previous investment, saying that he wanted his son to experience self-made.
This tactic almost ruined the studio directly.
Fortunately, their team has a well-rounded and desperate third sister, plus a grandson with a three-inch tongue, the two of them are grandsons day and night, and a wave of investment has been abolished by their grandma's strength. studio.
The studio has just gotten better recently, and Lu Yuzhou has heard several works produced by their team, including the song produced for Gao Yang, and they are all pretty good.
"Don't talk about me, Sister Yi is almost out of beer belly." Sun Zhi patted her already mature stomach and said, "She keeps herself in shape by being hungry all day long, so it doesn't matter to us gentlemen, right? That's it. , anyway, I don’t rely on my appearance for a living.”
"Sister Yi?" Lu Yuzhou smiled and poked his elbow on his chest, "Hey, you haven't been interrogated yet, did you break up with your Xiaoyu? I haven't heard you talking about it for a while."
The long-lost reunion smile froze on Sun Zhi's face for a moment, and he felt that there was something wrong with what he said.
In fact, ever since Lu Yuzhou went abroad, Sun Zhi didn't mention Xiao Yu. He didn't mention it at first, because he was afraid that he would be stimulated, and he would be struck by lightning if he showed affection to a lovelorn dog.Later, they broke up in senior year, and Sun Zhi didn't mention it, because he was still afraid that he would be sad when he heard the news of the broken relationship.
Although five years is not too long, isn't this "some time" time limit a bit too short?It's as if he is not on the same time frequency as others.
But at this moment, Sun Zhi didn't think deeply about it. He explained that Lu Yuzhou was too busy. When a person was devoted to one thing, he might not have time to notice the passage of time.
"After graduation, we went back to each family to find fault with each other." Sun Zhi saw that Lu Yuzhou was doing well, without the burden of thinking, so he didn't hide it. She has to be like a big sister, the whole studio calls her sister."
Lu Yuzhou didn't believe it, "Sister is also called Sister Yang, right? Are you the only one called Sister Yi?"
Sun Zhi cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Don't talk nonsense, I am now a business partner with her, of course it is better than being close to others."
"I really believe in your evil." Lu Yuzhou helped Sun Zhi drag the luggage, and the two walked out of the airport to a Ferrari parked by the side of the road.
Sun Zhi was stunned, "Fuck me old Lu, are you so proud to go to school in the United States?"
"This is not my car." Lu Yuzhou walked to the driver's seat and knocked on the window, "Wake up, Lanzhu!"
Lance opened his eyes sleepily, got out of the car with a daze, then hung on Lu Yuzhou's body and continued to sleep, following him wherever he went, just like a piece of dog skin plaster.
Sun Zhi choked up on the spot.
Fuck, who is this?
Damn, Lao Lu actually has a new love?
Fuck, no wonder he's reborn so quickly!Comrade Zhizai couldn't say whether he was happy or regretful at the moment. He hoped that Lu Yuzhou would develop a new relationship, but at the same time he regretted his past. He and Wu were really hard to get along.
"I'll drive if you're tired?" Lu Yuzhou closed the trunk and patted the dog's head on his shoulder.
Lance had a good night last night, and today he participated in the concert. He was exhausted, but it didn't hinder his enthusiasm. Hearing that Lu Yuzhou was coming to pick up his friends, he followed him to be the driver.
"No, I just need to step on the gas pedal to be refreshed." Lance climbed on Lu Yuzhou's shoulder and yawned, while waving hello to Sun Zhi in broken Chinese: "Hi, fish's good buddy!"
Sun Zhi didn't realize that he was speaking Chinese at all, so he pretended to understand and replied in even poorer English: "No, thanks!"
I don't like fish, thank you.
Lance looked confused: "what?"
Lu Yuzhou laughed like a dog.
Then the old and new irons chatted awkwardly in this way for a long time.After getting in the car, Lu Yuzhou sat in the back seat with Sun Zhi, and Sun Zhi secretly asked him, "Which country is this guy from? Does he speak English?"
Lu Yuzhou said, "Langli Pig Republic."
"???" Sun Zhi thought for a long time, but he didn't think of such a country, and thought he was ignorant, "Where is it?"
Lu Yuzhou: "The border between China and the United States."
Sun Zhi: "..."
Lance, who didn't understand a sentence, was even more frantic, "fish? What are you talking about, why don't you translate for me?"
"No, thanks!" Sun Zhi said, "My buddy is too enthusiastic, just tell him to eat some meat."
Lu Yuzhou: "Hahahaha!"
Sun Zhi, who hadn't heard him laugh for a long time, felt very relieved, so he recognized his new yellow-haired boyfriend in this way.
The airport was quite far from Lu Yuzhou's home, and the enthusiastic Lance simply drove them around a few more times, allowing Sun Zhi to see the scenery of New York.
Lance and Sun are two living treasures. There is a language gap between them. I don’t know why they always like to chat. Because the human translation is sometimes messy, Lance directly opened the translation software.
"I heard that you work in a music studio?" Lance asked him interestedly, "Do you know the singer who sang the song "The Appearance of Love"?"
Sun Zhi: "..."
Sun Zhi, who was talking eloquently just now, fell silent, and Lu Yuzhou looked at him puzzled.
Lance was out of the situation, and continued to say to the phone: "I like this song very much. Although the original singing doesn't particularly suit my feelings, I still want to know him very much."
Sun Zhi: "..."
"The Appearance of Love" was sung by Lin Ling, but the lyrics and music were written by Wu Ye, which was the song "Chasing Light".
Sun Zhi didn't know what was going on inside their company. Anyway, after the song was released, the creator became Lin Ling.
What Lance wants to see should be its songwriter, that is, Wu Ye. Sun Zhi doesn't know how to explain it, but Lance, what you admire is the song of your boyfriend's ex-boyfriend?Or is it that your boyfriend's ex-boyfriend's song was sung by someone else?
Lu Yuzhou basically didn't pay attention to the affairs of the domestic music circle these years, so he didn't know this song at all, so he looked it up online.
Before he finished typing the search content, Sun Zhi reached out and covered the screen of his mobile phone, and told him personally: "This is sung by Lin Ling."
Speaking of Lin Ling, Lu Yuzhou vaguely guessed that Lin Ling belonged to the Yuan family.
He had never paid attention to entertainment companies before, and he didn't know what Yuan Shi was like, but he learned about Yuan Shi after that incident.
When he first came to the United States, his wounds were difficult to heal, and his heart ached unbearably. Even if he deliberately kept himself busy, he still suffered from occasional sleepless nights.
At this time, he had to take some "painkillers".
He is the only ingredient in the painkiller.
Where did he go, how is he doing now, he signed with Yuan Shi, what kind of company Yuan Shi is, will it be too sad for him to enter...
Lu Yuzhou searched for everything about him, occasionally found a clue, and he would be happy for a while, and it didn't matter if he couldn't find it. This process of searching with hope can paralyze his nerves, as if the next second Being able to dig up news about him is like winning the lottery.
Obviously afraid to hear everything about him, but can only rely on him to relieve the pain.
He is both a knife and a medicine.
Gradually, he successfully sealed up that part of the memory, and was able to control the "switch" with ease. As long as the door of that part of memory is closed, he can concentrate on the life in front of him for a long time without having to worry about it again. Go touch "painkillers".
But right now, when the value boy mentioned Yuan, Lu Yuzhou found that the so-called control "switch" was not as easy as he thought, and those memories about him just rolled out uncontrollably, clamoring to rebel against him.
"Yuan Shiting is not a thing. He bought out other people's lyrics and gave it to a singer, and packaged this singer as an original singer. I was thinking about Lin Ling's senior. There is nothing he can do. He and..." Sun Zhi watched After one glance at Lu Yuzhou, he was sure that there was nothing unusual about him before continuing, "He and Wu Ye have a good relationship, and I will definitely bring him to concerts and activities. Wu Ye has developed well in the past year, and people in the circle are very optimistic about him."
"However, the Yuan family has not been going well in the past two years, and they have been in constant trouble. I feel as if someone has punished them." Sun Zhi briefly mentioned Wu Ye, and then entered the plot of Shuangwen, "Peng Cheng, that bastard is evil. Bad news, he was sentenced to seven years last year for taking drugs | he……"
The more Sun Zhi talked, the more enjoyable he was, Lance's translation software had already gone on strike, and he kept talking about what, what...
But Lu Yuzhou's thoughts were entangled in that name, and he didn't hear a word of what Sun Zhi said later.
When he first took the "painkiller", he frantically typed his name in the dark, but later, this name became a taboo, he dared not think about it or look it up, and even his brain would automatically block these two words.
Lance drove them for nearly two hours, and the phrase "Is he okay" was always on the tip of Lu Yuzhou's tongue, but he couldn't get it out until he got home.
Yu Fan knew that Sun Dui was coming, so he specially prepared a table of Chinese food, but Lance was so happy. He loves Chinese food cooked by Fish’s mother, and he likes to help in the kitchen—although most of the time it’s not helpful, but with him, the kitchen There is always laughter.
Lu Yuzhou took Sun Zhi to the guest room on the third floor. Taking advantage of Lance's absence, Sun Zhi asked the question in his heart: "Old Lu, your mother accepted the little yellow hair?"
"Didn't you see it all? Sister Fan really likes him." Lu Yuzhou said while looking for slippers and towels for Sun Zhi.
Sun Zhi felt unbelievable, "This little yellow hair is very capable. He actually took down your mother. I have been with you for so many years and I am still afraid of her."
"He is mainly thick-skinned, begging for nothing to please people." Lu Yuzhou said, "But thanks to him, Sister Fan has been in good condition for the past few years."
Sun Zhi: "Then you two live together?"
"..." Lu Yuzhou finally realized that Sun Zhi seemed to have misunderstood something, "Same as your sister, he is my good friend, and he has the same nature as you."
Sun Zhi: "..."
Just now I was worrying about seeing my boyfriend's ex for Lance, but now it's him who is unlucky. How can I say this feeling, it's almost the same as meeting a rival in love.And the number of "rivals in love" is higher than him, not only won the old iron, but also won the old iron his mother.
After that, when Sun Zhi looked at Lance again, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. When the face was still like that, he would start to criticize him as soon as he left.
It's shameful to say that he is too open, just hug him and kiss Lu Yuzhou on the face!It's shameless to say that he insists on holding a parrot while eating, and it's too loud to say that he sings at every turn... Balabala, all in all, the little yellow hair is demoted to nothing.
Lu Yuzhou was delighted to hear the long-lost babbling, playing with the parrot, while lying on the sofa in the guest room with his legs crossed, echoing a few words from time to time.
"...I said, Old Lu, why did you have a parrot?" Sun Zhi's complaints about Lance came to an end, and he finally remembered to ask the parrot, "Didn't your mother not allow animals in the house?"
This parrot breed is a lovebird.
The year before last, Lu Yuzhou went to Paris to compete again, and went to the decoration shop with the lovebirds on purpose. He wanted to discuss with the boss again and buy the pair of lovebirds at a high price.
The last time he wanted to buy it, the boss said he would not sell it. At that time, Lu Yuzhou was very disappointed.I don't know why, that kind of bird can be seen everywhere, but he just wants that pair, like an obsession.
However, when we went again, the pair of birds had already been given away by the boss.
Lu Yuzhou was lost for a long time because of this, as if he lost something precious forever.
Later, he couldn't let go of his lovebird complex, so he asked Lance to help him find a place that sold this kind of bird, and bought a similar one to take home.Yu Fan didn't like keeping pets at home, but he insisted on keeping one, probably because he liked it very much, and Yu Fan later acquiesced, and because Lance often teased it, Yu Fan gradually began to like this little guy.
Lu Yuzhou was overjoyed by this for a while. Sister Fan has been receiving psychological intervention treatment, which means she has made progress.She used to not allow him to "play with things and lose his mind" at all, always rejecting his favorite things, even friends, but now she not only accepts Lance but also the parrot.
"She is much better now." Lu Yuzhou just explained in this way.
"Then..." Sun Zhi asked hesitantly, "Does this mean..."
He wanted to ask if it meant that you and Wu Ye still had hope, but he felt that it was meaningless to say it now.
The relaxed smile on Lu Yuzhou's face gradually turned into a kind of maintenance. Seeing him like this, Sun Zhi finally realized that something was wrong with him in the airport.
This guy is not reborn, it is clearly a rotten cucumber with fresh paint, under the seemingly bright, cheerful and mature skin, there are a bunch of old scars hidden.
That period of the past was still bloodied in his heart, and it hadn't healed in the long river of time. All the people and things in it were brutally sealed by him, and the seal was at most as thick as a sheet of paper.When others recall the past with him, he can pierce the seal by stretching out his hand, and come out to chat with others with some relevant and fresh past events, pretending to be far away, but actually still close in front of him.
"You're thinking too much, Mr. I and him...that's not the problem." After a while, Lu Yuzhou said with a smile.
You see, I dare not even mention people's names.
Sun Zhi sighed in his heart. After this sentence, he never mentioned Wu Ye as Lu Yuzhou again.
In the third year of Ph.D. study, Lu Yuzhou won the first prize in a very high-standard international competition, and was invited by a famous pianist to participate in his recital. fame.
Then came various performance opportunities and a lot of income. After he finished his doctoral studies, he had become a relatively mature professional pianist, and he was able to bear all the expenses of him and Sister Fan abroad. , even his dad can retire now, he can fully support the family.
Economic independence means that a person has the right to speak in the family and even in society. The most intuitive feeling is that he has gradually become the one who makes decisions at home.There is no need to ask your parents for instructions on big and small things, and he will do what he can.There is no need to invite his father to communicate with Sister Fan. Mr. Lu arranges for clients to come to the United States.
Missing grandma and grandpa, and brother Wei, he can buy a few tickets and arrange for them to fly here at any time.
In the past, he didn't dare to talk too much about the conflict between Brother Wei and his family, but now he can resolve the problems between them in his own way, and the results are remarkable.
In May of this year, there was a very important concert in China that required Lu Yuzhou to go back. There was no one at home to accompany Sister Fan, so he booked air tickets for his grandparents and told them to fly over to stay for a while.
Before leaving, Lu Yuzhou asked Wang Yu for the keys to his hometown. Wang Yu was curious about what he was doing, "Why didn't you tell me about something important at home? It would be great if we brought it here for you."
"It's not about taking things." Lu Yuzhou didn't tell the truth, "It's Lance who wants to visit our hometown and take him back to play for two days."
"You said it earlier, there is nothing to eat in the refrigerator." Wang Yu clapped the key in his hand angrily, "There is no embarrassment for foreign friends to visit our house."
Lu Yuzhou hugged his grandma and smiled, "It's okay, Lance is on his own, we can buy it now when we go."
I don't know if it's because he hasn't returned to China for many years. On the way to the airport, Lu Yuzhou suddenly felt a little homely and timid. He was silent all the way, and Lance kept protesting.
"Fish! I'm talking to you!"
Lu Yuzhou looked at him: "What did you say?"
"I said that I really want to see 'Zero'!" Lance's biggest wish in going to China is to meet the singer of "The Look of Love", that is, Lin Ling.
"I know you're a zero." Lu Yuzhou joked about him every day.
"Oh honey, I know you're a virgin, and you haven't experienced such fun." Lance bickered everyday, "But what I'm talking about is either this or that..." He hummed two lines of the melody, "That's the author. "
The long-lost familiar melody suddenly sounds like a lifetime away.
Lu Yuzhou's eyes turned to the outside of the car, looking at the orange-red sunset in the sky, somehow he remembered the morning sun on the train that day, the warm breath on his shoulders, and the lyrics in the small notebook on his lap.
There is still a video of him singing this song in the computer, but after so many years, Lu Yuzhou didn't have the courage to dig it out and take a look.It was the song of the two of them. He deeply remembered every melody and every line of the lyrics, but he didn't dare to play it out for aftertaste.
Brother Wei said that ten years of life is a hurdle, and once you cross a hurdle, you will take a lot of light and accept a lot. Keep going, the past will pass like that.
Lu Yuzhou didn't know how long it would take him to face the past calmly. Anyway, he failed in the first ten years.
During the long journey, Lu Yuzhou couldn't bring himself to chat with Lance, so he wore a blindfold to catch up on sleep. When he was in a daze, he put an earphone in his ear, and two familiar lyrics startled his dream.
I'm exhausted when I return
When I go, my heart is towards the sun
you rise with the morning light
You all look like love
……
Lance didn't know where to find the original version. It was the original audio that was circulated on the Internet in the early years. The sound quality was a bit shoddy, just like that period of unpolished teenage years.
The familiar melody, the voice that often appeared in midnight dreams, every sentence scratched in my heart, startled the ground to dust.
The author has something to say: Sorry for the long wait, I don’t know why this paragraph is so difficult to write.
Reunion in the next chapter!
Thank you Mengxi for the written talk, listening to the irrigation nutrient solution of the flowers!
