approximately parallel

Chapter 5

A person's life is like a thread, and countless threads are intertwined to form our three-dimensional world.These lines seem to be chaotic, but in fact each has its own trajectory to follow.Some lines will intersect each other, while some lines will always maintain a parallel relationship.When lines intersect, it means that a person appears in another person's life.They may be your parents, brothers and sisters, deskmates at school or ignorant first loves, or even a stranger passing by on the road... Every addition of an intersection means that our life is getting closer and closer whole.For Higashino Shizuru, Luo Ling is undoubtedly a very special point of intersection.In the past, they were childhood playmates of childhood sweethearts, but now that they meet again, this childhood friendship becomes even more precious.

Just after the holiday, the school announced the time of the midterm exam, which caused the students who had not yet fully recovered from their laziness and relaxation to plunge into painful and intense review in an instant.At this moment, Higashino Shizuru and Luo Ling were sitting face to face in the study room of the library, the desk was full of messy books and exercise volumes.

"I really don't understand, what is the relationship between playing the cello well and these proof questions?" Luo Ling wiped away his usual relaxed and determined expression, wishing to tear up all the math homework in front of him and eat it in his stomach.

"Their relationship is that only relying on these can you go to the school you want to go to, and then continue to learn your cello." Shizuru Higashino said without raising his head while he was writing his homework.

After listening to this, Luo Ling couldn't help sighing in annoyance, but faced with a bunch of practice questions, he really couldn't get into it, so he simply pushed away the homework and chatted with Shizuru Higashino on the topic just now.

"Hey, which university do you want to go to?"

"Me?" Higashino Jingxian was stunned, hesitated a little before saying: "My dad wants me to go to Germany."

"Germany? Yes, it's a good place." Luo Ling nodded in agreement.

"But I don't want to go."

"why?"

"I want to learn to compose and arrange music."

"Is there no such major in the school over there?" Luo Ling didn't understand.

"No, it's my dad... he doesn't like my exposure to pop music, he wants me to continue learning the piano." Higashino Shizuru's expression suddenly became a little gloomy.

"That's right," Luo Ling seemed to understand a little bit, "Then did you tell your father?"

Higashino Shizuru paused for a moment, and sighed faintly, "I said it, but it's useless. That's why I came here as an exchange student, so that he wouldn't get angry when he sees me. Anyway, it's still early before graduation, anyway. It can be delayed for a day."

"Are you afraid of your father?" Luo Ling raised his eyebrows jokingly, looked at Dongye Jingxian playfully and said.

"Of course not! What am I afraid of him doing?" Higashino Shizuru raised her voice involuntarily, but there was still a trace of guilt that could not be concealed in her tone.

The more he was like this, the more Luo Ling found it funny, and couldn't help but continued to tease: "If it really doesn't work, can I help you talk to him?"

Higashino Jingxian immediately frowned and said, "You? Come on, my dad is as stubborn as a rock, as long as it is something he decides, no one can change it."

"How do you know if you don't try? Maybe he will be persuaded by me?"

"impossible!"

"How is it impossible? Hey, give me your dad's phone number. Oh, by the way, he can speak Chinese, right?" Luo Ling became serious.

"Hey, don't mess around." Seeing him like this, Higashino Shizuru couldn't help but get nervous.

"What are you afraid of? Your father is my elder anyway, and I won't do anything to him? I just chat with him casually." Luo Ling said slowly.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about my affairs, I will take care of it myself."

Luo Ling touched his chin, as if he was still thinking about something.Higashino Shizuru saw that he still seemed eager to try, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Uh, by the way, have you selected your new program yet?"

"No, I'm almost concussed from listening to music these few days." This sentence really successfully diverted Luo Ling's attention, and a trace of tiredness appeared on his face that was still full of interest just now. Then he put on the earphones like a conditioned reflex, and turned on the player on the phone with his hands.

Seeing that his method worked, Higashino Shizuru secretly heaved a sigh of relief.He didn't want to disturb Luo Ling listening to the song, so he lowered his head and continued to write his homework.After that, the two of them didn't speak for a long time, and they each concentrated on doing their own things.Luo Ling quickly plunged into the world of music, and Higashino Shizuru could clearly know whether he was satisfied with the music he heard even if he lowered his head.Because when he hears a fairly satisfactory piece of music, he can't help but tap his fingers on the table with the music, and when he hears an unsatisfactory piece of music, he will unconsciously smack his lips.If Higashino Shizuru raised his head at this time, he would definitely see that frowning, serious and serious face.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the quiet study room.Luo Ling slapped the table violently, then stood up following the whole person.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Higashino Shizuru was taken aback by him, looked apologetically at the people around who were also frightened, and said in a low voice.

However, Luo Ling couldn't care about these anymore, and hurriedly took off an earphone from his ear and handed it over, and said excitedly: "Listen quickly!"

"What?" Just as Dongye Jingxian asked, Luo Ling couldn't wait to stuff the earphones into his ears.

"Listen first before you talk!" Because the headphone cable was not long enough, Luo Ling had to lean forward slightly.

Higashino Shizuru adjusted the position of the earphones, only to hear a pure but vicissitudes voice coming from inside.

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you

And everything you do

Yeah, they were reallyellow

.......

"Isn't this Coldplay's Yellow?"

"Well, what do you think?"

"You want to use this one?"

Luo Ling nodded excitedly, "Give me some advice!"

"Not bad, the melody is nice and the rhythm is soothing Lento, I think I can give it a try."

"Really?" Luo Ling smiled happily, "Then I'll go find Siyuan now!" But just halfway through receiving the schoolbag, he stopped suddenly, "Oops, my math homework..."

"Okay, you go, I will help you with the rest."

"Can you really handle it?"

"Don't worry, just write it yourself."

"Don't worry, of course don't worry! I'm more at ease with you than with myself." Luo Ling said flatteringly.

"Let's save this kind of talk to coax girls." Higashino Shizuru waved at him disdainfully, signaling him to leave quickly.

Not far away, a few girls were looking at this side secretly, and they laughed meaningfully from time to time.

After dinner, the five boys gathered in the piano practice room. After some discussion, the band finally decided to use "Yellow" as a new program at the Christmas concert.

"Not bad." Fang Jianyue first tried to play a few words on the violin.

"Luo Ling, I have a lot of homework to do this week, can you help with the score?" Wang Siyuan looked at Luo Ling and asked.

"No problem, I'll go now." Unexpectedly, Luo Ling was more impatient than him, and left the piano room after speaking.

"Boss, it's fine for Haozi to do homework, why are you depraved?" Shen Sa came again.

"Hey, what do you mean? What do you mean I'll just do it? Which time did I not hand in my homework on time?" Liu Hao said unconvinced.

"Be honest, who did you copy?"

"I didn't copy anyone else's, I wrote them all myself! If you don't believe me, ask Jianyue!" Seeing that he couldn't stand Shen Sa, Liu Hao hurriedly asked Fang Jianyue for help.

"Why are you talking so much to him? Can you just treat it like a dog barking?" Fang Jianyue was still playing the violin without raising his eyelids.

"Nonsense! Have you ever seen such a handsome dog?"

"What kind of dog is so handsome?" Just as the boys were talking, two girls suddenly walked in from outside the classroom, one was Zhang Xiaoai, and the other girl with glasses was a writer for the school newspaper.

"Little Sa!" Liu Hao shouted loudly.

"Xiao Sa? I like Xiao Sa the most!" Zhang Xiaoai immediately exclaimed excitedly.

The boys couldn't help sniggering, except for Shen Sa.

"Are they joking, are the two beauties okay?" Wang Siyuan asked politely.

"Oh, we're here to do an exclusive interview with you guys." Glasses said.

"Didn't you just interview last month?" Wang Siyuan frowned.

"Last time your performance aroused great repercussions among the students, and the message board of the student union was almost overwhelmed by them. Everyone asked a lot of questions, so I want to make a follow-up for you. Don't worry, I won't delay you how long."

"Okay, if you have any questions, feel free to ask." Although he doesn't like this kind of thing, Wang Siyuan is still very cooperative.

"Huh? Where's Luo Ling?" It wasn't until now that Zhang Xiaoai suddenly realized that there seemed to be one person missing in the room.

“Oh, he kind of left beforehand.”

"Then what should we do? How can we interview without one person?"

"It's okay, just ask us if you have any questions." Liu Hao said.

"Ask you? You all know about him?"

"Of course! There are no secrets between us." Shen Sa raised her eyebrows proudly.

Although Luo Ling was missing, the interview went smoothly.Judging from the questions solicited, it seems that everyone is more interested in the personal situation of the members than the music of the band.Wang Siyuan, on the other hand, kept staring at the notebook in Zhang Xiaoai's hand, wondering when the interview would end.

"Are you going to do something new at this year's Christmas concert?"

"Of course we will. We've already begun preparations."

"Can you tell me a little bit?"

"I'm sorry, it doesn't work right now. But I believe it will surprise everyone by then."

"Well, the last question involves a little privacy, but I hope you can answer it as truthfully as possible." Zhang Xiaoai paused, cleared his throat before continuing, "Excuse me, what does every BOX member like?" What kind of girl?"

"Don't worry, this is just to satisfy the curiosity of the students, we won't be seated according to the number." Glasses seems to be very interested in this question.

"Fang Jianyue doesn't need to answer this question, he is already a man of fame and fortune." Shen Sa said first.

"I know, it's Du Shasha from Jianzhong, right?" Zhang Xiaoai said.

"You guys know each other?" Fang Jianyue was a little surprised.

"Of course, she and I lived in the same dormitory during the summer camp last year. Fang Jianyue, you are very lucky, she is Jianzhong's school belle."

"Is it a piranha?" Shen Sa muttered in a low voice.

Fang Jianyue kicked him on the back of the chair abruptly, Shen Sa lost his balance and almost fell off the chair.

For boys this age, talking about the girl they like is definitely a joy.Although everyone was a little embarrassed at the beginning, once the topic was discussed, it quickly became endless.

"Talk about Luo Ling, didn't you say that you all know about him?" Finally, Zhang Xiaoai stopped his gaze on Wang Siyuan, signaling to start from him.

"Luo Ling?" Wang Siyuan frowned and thought for a while, "I don't think I've heard him say that he has a favorite type. Maybe it's OK if he feels right? He's always been a person who follows his feelings."

"Follow your feelings? That is to say, if the feeling is right, anyone can do it?" The glasses sounded a little weird.

"Uh...that's it..." Wang Siyuan didn't know how to answer, and looked at Fang Jianyue as if asking for help.

"Oh, he likes gentleness, kindness, and quietness..." Fang Jianyue had an idea and said a few popular standards.

"Luo Ling said that he must find someone who understands music in the future, so that they can have a common language." It was Liu Hao who said something more practical.

"Gentle, kind, understands music... ah, isn't this just Dongye!" Glasses suddenly yelled, startling everyone present.

"You, what did you say? Who did you just say...?" Zhang Xiaoai looked at her in disbelief, as if she was not sure what she just heard.

"It's the exchange student from Japan, Shizuru Higashino!" The glasses have an expression that everyone on the earth knows, "What? Don't you know?"

"Know what?" Wang Siyuan was also puzzled.

In order to prove that her words were correct, without further ado, the girl took out her mobile phone and tapped a few times quickly, then turned the screen to the people present and said, "Look."

Immediately, several heads moved over, and the people on the phone screen were Luo Ling and Dong Ye Jingxian.On the screen, the heads of the two people are very close, and they appear very intimate no matter in terms of posture or expression.What's even more outrageous is that there is a line of words written on the top of this photo----At this moment, I finally believed in love.

"Who did this? Are you full?" Shen Sa was the first to yell.

"It's not me!" Glasses immediately raised his hand to clarify for himself, "I saw it from the circle of friends."

"This message was reposted. It's not so easy to find the original source." Wang Siyuan was still calm, then suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to the members: "Hurry up and take a look at your circle of friends, don't you?" There is also this news?"

So all the people took out their mobile phones one after another, and after one click, everyone showed the same expression.

In the middle of the night, Dongye Jingxian was suddenly awakened by a ringtone, and it was Luo Ling who picked up the phone.

"Xiao Xian, quickly open the window, I'll be downstairs."

Higashino Jingxian got up in surprise and opened the window, and saw Luo Ling climbing up the sewer pipe at a glance.

"The door on the first floor is locked, let me use your window."

"Can you do it?" Higashino Shizuru stared at all this dumbfounded, as if seeing a realistic version of Spider-Man.

"What is this level? No matter how tall I have climbed!" Luo Ling had already come under the window while speaking, put his hands on the window sill, and jumped in easily.

"What did you do? You won't be catching cats again, are you?" Shizuku Higashino frowned.

"Eh? You live alone?" Luo Ling didn't answer his words, but patted the dust on his body disapprovingly.

"Yeah, that person just changed schools this semester."

"Oh, the school is really biased." Luo Ling sighed and fell down on the bed.

"You haven't answered my question yet?"

"Siyuan asked me to look for the music score, but I searched the library all night and couldn't find it." Luo Ling's voice sounded light and ethereal, more like raving.

"Music? Is that 'Yellow'? You really have to decide to use this song?"

"Hmm." Luo Ling closed his eyes and uttered a single voice vaguely.

"Why does the school library have the score of this song! Have you checked it online? They should have an official website, right? There may also be a support website for funs. By the way, the computer in the library can access it. Is it a foreign website?"

Dong Ye Jingxian closed the window and turned around, only to find that Luo Ling had fallen asleep.He shook his head helplessly, went to the bed to help him take off his shoes, and took out a cotton blanket from the cabinet to cover him.Then he walked to the desk, turned on the phone, and entered the two keywords "coldplay, Yellow" in the search bar.
