Chapter 14

The Asian Youth Orchestra, referred to as Yaqing, is the only symphony orchestra in the world composed entirely of Asian youths.The oldest member is no more than 25 years old, and the youngest is only 15 years old. All of them are excellent music talents who have passed strict selection.Here, you will receive careful guidance from professional instructors from major theaters, orchestras and conservatories around the world, and you will also have the opportunity to perform on the same stage with the most famous performers and conductors of this century.This is the dream of all young musicians, and it is also the ladder to a higher art palace.

It has been a long time since Yaqing came to China to hold an audition, so this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both the school and the students.However, it is not easy to participate in the audition meeting.In addition to excellent professional grades, you must have a letter of recommendation from your school before you can apply, and the number of recommendation places for each school is very limited.So when Principal Wei announced the news at the school meeting, there was a heated discussion among the students. Everyone speculated about who was the lucky one, and the ones who attracted the most attention were naturally Luo Ling and Lian. Kai.

"Boss, do you think the school will recommend Luo Ling to the audition meeting?" In the cafeteria, Liu Hao looked at Wang Siyuan with a sad face and asked.

"Is there a need to ask? He gets the first place in professional courses every year. If he doesn't go, who else is qualified to go?" Before Wang Siyuan could speak, Shen Sa spoke first.

"Then what if he is really selected? Will we participate in next year's competition?" Liu Hao was talking about the National School Band Competition for Middle School Students.Since the last time they failed to return, the few people have been brooding about it, vowing to make a comeback and avenge their shame.But once Luo Ling is selected for the Asian Youth League, he will have to rehearse and tour with the group, and he will definitely not have time to participate in the competition.

"This matter mainly depends on Luo Ling's intentions. But no matter what, as friends, we can't hold him back, right?" Fang Jianyue said with a pertinent attitude.

Several people did not speak, but their expressions became dignified.It has always been their common dream to win the championship of the National Campus Band Competition, but at the same time they also know what it means to be selected for the Asian Youth League.So, as band members, they certainly hope that Luo Ling can fight side by side with them and work hard for their dreams; but as friends, they don't want to watch Luo Ling miss this opportunity.This kind of contradictory mood is tangled together, making everyone's mood heavy.

"Don't be too frustrated. Think about it from another angle. If he really gets into Yaqing, it will be a good thing for the band. At least in the future we can publicize that our chief cellist is an excellent cellist from Yaqing." Wang Siyuan Comfort everyone.

"That's right, that's right!" Shen Sa echoed, "I heard that the tickets for their Yaqing show are very popular. When the time comes, I will ask Luo Ling to count the tickets for us. I'm not greedy, double the income is enough."

Without saying a word, Fang Jianyue threw an elbow to his chest, and Shen Sa coughed a few times after being bumped.

"That's right! And even if Luo Lingzhen got the recommendation letter, he might not be selected." Liu Hao also tried to say a few words of comfort to everyone.However, as soon as the words fell, the three of them cast strange glances at him, and the subtext seemed to be "you can say this kind of thing?"

"You, don't get me wrong! Of course I hope he can be selected." Liu Hao laughed dryly and quickly explained, "But you also know that Yaqing has an elimination rate as high as 90.00% five, what I mean I mean...what if, what if he is eliminated? No, no, I mean, I mean...how about we temporarily find someone to replace him?" Liu Haoyue explained more and more confusedly, and at the end even I don't even know what I'm going to say.

"What are you guys talking about? Why are you looking for someone to replace you?" Luo Ling walked over at some point, and couldn't help asking when he saw the different expressions of several people.

"Oh, Haozi said just now that he was leaving the team, and asked if it would be okay for us to find someone to replace him." Shen Sa said intentionally.

"I..." Liu Hao felt that he had slipped his words, so he had to suffer from being dumb.

"How can this work? Can it still be called BOX without Haozi?" Luo Ling put his hand on Liu Hao's shoulder, smiling brightly and heartily.

Liu Hao only felt a heat in his heart, moved and ashamed, and almost burst into tears.

"Where have you been? Why are you here now?" Wang Siyuan asked.

"Lao Ma asked me to go to the office and nagged me for a long time before letting me go." Luo Ling said, picking up a piece of corn from Fang Jianyue's plate and gnawed on it.

"Teacher Ma looking for you? What's the matter?" Fang Jianyue couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"It's nothing, just let me concentrate on practicing the piano and preparing for the final exam." Luo Ling was concentrating on dealing with the corn without raising his head.

"That's all he said? Didn't he say anything else?" Shen Sa seemed a little uneasy.

Luo Ling shrugged his shoulders honestly.

"Oh, this is really..." The word "good" in Liu Hao's mouth was blocked by Fang Jianyue before he had time to say it.

"Ah, Luo Ling, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Finally you figured it out." Luo Ling dropped the corn that had been gnawed to pieces, with a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Tell me, what do you want to eat? If there is no one in the cafeteria, I will go outside and buy it for you."

"By the way, there is a new Taiwanese restaurant next to our school. I heard that the stewed pork rice there is good. Do you want to try it?" Shen Sa also showed unusual enthusiasm.

"Huh? What day is it today? Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?" Luo Ling glanced at the two suspiciously.

"Hey, look at what you said. You are the principal cellist of our band, and we can't let you go hungry in public or private." Shen Sa smiled all over his face.

"Thanks in advance. I'm not picky about food, as long as it's food." Luo Ling said.

As if afraid that Liu Hao would slip up again, Fang Jianyue secretly gave him a wink before leaving.This time he was quite clever, and immediately got up knowingly and followed the two of them out of the cafeteria.

"What's the matter with these guys? It's mysterious." Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving in a hurry, Luo Ling couldn't help muttering.

"Okay, can you tell the truth now?" Wang Siyuan said after the three of them walked away.

"What truth?" Luo Ling was still pretending to be confused.

"What exactly did Teacher Ma tell you?"

"By the way, I ran into your grandson when I came here just now, and he told me about this final exam..."

"Don't change the subject!" Wang Siyuan straightened his face and asked straight to the point, "Is the school planning to recommend you to the audition meeting?"

Luo Ling didn't speak, and after a while he sighed helplessly, "It doesn't matter if it's right or not, I don't plan to go anyway."

"why?"

"No reason."

"Is it because of next year's band competition?"

"You know all about it and still ask?" Luo Ling knew that Wang Siyuan couldn't hide anything, so he simply didn't hide anything anymore.

"Have you figured it out? This is Yaqing's audition meeting! I don't need to explain the stakes to you again? If you miss this opportunity, you may never meet it in your life. And with your strength... ..”

"Hey, don't you know what I want?"

Wang Siyuan was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Then what if we lose again this time?"

Luo Ling smiled softly, "At worst, it's the same as last time, drinking all night and scolding people all night!"

Ever since Principal Wei announced the audition, Lian Kai has been in a state of restlessness.And when he learned that Mr. Ma had talked to Luo Ling alone today, his anxiety turned into anger in an instant, so that he didn't like anyone all day long.If there was one person in the school who made him look less angry at this time, then Song Yi was probably the only one.

Song Yi and Lian Kai are typical "mother friends" that are often said on the Internet nowadays. Because the mothers of the two families were best friends in college, even after they got married and had children, they still often walk around, so Song Yi It was logical that he became Lian Kai's friend, perhaps also his only friend.

Song Yi and Luo Ling didn't have any feuds, but they definitely didn't like each other either.And what he hates is not only Luo Ling, but also their band.Because when he first entered the school, he also formed a band, but soon disbanded due to disagreements among the members. Unexpectedly, BOX, which formed with them at that time, became more and more popular.Seeing Wang Siyuan and his gang stole the limelight in school, I couldn't help but feel bad.And the thing he can't stand the most is that his girlfriend is also their fan!Every time Xiang Nan saw his girlfriend screaming crazily for them, Xiang Nan would get angry.

"Hey, why are you still here as if nothing happened? Your old horse called Luo Ling to the office this morning, maybe he was planning to recommend him to the audition meeting." During the lunch break, Song Yi searched the school several times , and finally found Lian Kai in the stands of the playground.

However, Lian Kai didn't seem to want to discuss this topic with him, so he ignored him.

"You're talking!" Song Yi asked persistently.

"What do you want me to say? What can I do if the school wants him to go?" Lian Kai was annoyed by the question, so he rushed.

"Do you think Principal Wei has dementia? He actually recommended Luo Ling! Isn't this a waste of quota? Hey, why don't you go talk to your dad and ask him to find a relationship for you?"

"What kind of relationship can my dad find? Besides, any relationship is not as strong as the relationship between Xin Ya and Principal Wei."

"Xin Ya and Principal Wei?"

"Are you really ignorant or not? Xin Ya's father and Principal Wei are college classmates."

"Ah?" Song Yi seemed to have suddenly realized, and immediately shouted, "Isn't this a secret operation!"

"What's all the fuss about? There are many such things now." Lian Kai said coldly.

"I really don't know what's so good about Luo Ling. Why did Xin Ya just like him? Are they officially dating now?"

"how could I know?"

"But a while ago there were rumors about what happened between him and that Japanese man?"

"This kind of gossip news is like chewing gum. If you can't chew it, you spit it out and get a new one. Who would take it seriously?" Lian Kai snorted disapprovingly, then got up and patted the dust on his pants, "But I hope it's true, and there will be a good show!"

The school's canteen is next to the canteen, and you can buy almost everything there, whether it's for food or for use.And there are all kinds of gossip that are more attractive than commodities, because there is always one that interests you.

"Hey, do you know that the static zero CP in our school has spread to other schools." A girl who was drinking soda with a straw said.

"How do you know?" Another girl just opened a bag of puffed food.

"I have a junior high school classmate who is in Jianzhong. Yesterday she asked me if it was true."

"Then what do you say?"

"I asked her where she heard it from, and she told me that people from her class came to our school to see it."

"Really? You actually came to our school to peep? Isn't this too perverted?"

"They didn't steal it. I heard from my classmate that her classmate has a best friend whose boyfriend is from our school. They walked in through the school gate swaggeringly."

"Boyfriend? Who?"

"How do I know that! But I heard that her boyfriend has a good relationship with Luo Ling."

"Have a good relationship and still do this kind of thing?"

"Maybe her boyfriend doesn't know at all? Last time I lied to my boyfriend that I wanted to go to their school's library. In fact, I wanted to see a new transfer student from their school. I heard that he was very handsome and looked like Lee Jong Suk."

"Really? Did you see that?"

"Oh, don't mention it. Originally..."

The girls' conversation was still going on, but Fang Jianyue didn't want to listen anymore.At this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, a thought that he was not quite sure about and never wanted to be sure about.
