14 years time difference

A live band played on the side below the stage.

Several cameras are running, in which direction, which lens to watch for which lyrics.

After the first chorus, there is an interlude, a few eight beats, and you can dance a few movements.

No need to think carefully, and everything is under control.

Just like the world she has known since she was a child.

Dusi people never think of themselves as a girl of heaven.Or she subconsciously completely acquiesced to this matter.

She was born in a scholarly family, her father and mother were both teachers, and she was well-mannered and respected.She is the apple of the eye at home, she is not spoiled, but she was also spoiled to grow up, her parents have to discuss everything with her, no matter what childish words she says, they love to listen to her opinions, and treat her as an equal a member of the family.At school, she is always one of the focuses of everyone. Apart from cultural subjects, she has nothing she is not good at. She is good at art and sports. What she likes and what she wants can be easily obtained with a little effort.

She and the world she has always known form a positive feedback to each other. The more confident she is, the more calm she will be. Everything is easy to do. She gives and she has it.

Lin Zhique is a person beyond her cognition.

The more she tried to understand her, the more difficult it was for her to understand her.

Lin Zhique is not like her, he is nostalgic for everything he owns.

At this moment, she was standing under the stage, in her peripheral vision, standing with her arms folded.

It was already past midnight when it was Dusi's turn to take the stage.She worked so hard to come to see her late at night and wait here for her. The little bit of caring that was unpredictable and clear could not overcome her boredom of this world, so she answered: no.

Du Siren held the microphone and looked at Lin Zhique from afar.

No.

It is difficult for her to describe her feelings when she heard this answer, mixed with loss, heartache and confusion, probably because of the two days of program recording, she has been in a state of excitement and tension, so her emotions are more sensitive, in her mind Constantly surging.

The interlude is over.

She raised the microphone to her mouth, looked away from the corner—

Bands, cameras, stage lights, everything is still operating as usual.

But her mind suddenly went blank.

The world is out of her grasp.

She forgot the words.

"She forgot the words."

Lin Zhique tried his best to cover up, so that his light tone did not seem so gloating.

Du Zhian's hostile eyes immediately shot like a shuriken, and she retorted: "How do you know that you just forgot the words? Maybe it was adapted like this!"

The professional judges on TV didn't give Princess Zhi'an any face. After Du Siren finished singing, they commented harshly: "Du Siren, you know that you just made a very serious mistake."

The Dusi chick pecked at the rice and nodded.

"You should know that your singing can only get a passing score of 60. At least on the premise of getting a passing score, whether your dancing, expressiveness, appeal, or even good appearance, these extra points are only available. Meaning, but if you can't even memorize the most basic lyrics, then you don't need to participate in a singing show."

Du Zhian was angry: "I forgot a few words, how can it be so serious?"

Another female judge took over the conversation and sang a bad face: "I think it may be because of the two-day continuous recording, which put a lot of pressure on the physical and psychological conditions of the contestants. Contestant Dusi, this time we may I want to give you a pending result for the time being. In addition, I have a different opinion with Teacher Tao, and I think your singing is definitely more than 60 points."

Du Siren bowed obediently.

The camera switched to the public jury, Chen Jia was sitting in the crowd, applauding along with the others with a serious expression.

Xu Xinan saw it, and happily applauded along with Chen Jia.

Du Zhian sat next to Xu Xinan, his face full of depression, the expressions of the two were in stark contrast, and he no longer participated in the games and chats of his classmates, and sat with his knees hugged, without saying a word.

Xu Xinan was elated halfway, and realized that the atmosphere was not right, the applause was weakening, and he glanced at Du Zhian cautiously.

While Lin Zhique gloated, she became more and more impatient. She was annoyed to death that everyone had to revolve around Du Zhian.

On the TV, the next contestant came on stage to sing, Du Zhian didn't even look at it, and looked down at the magazine in her hand.A male classmate suggested that everyone play a game together. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he specially invited him loudly: "Lin Zhique, can you join us too? Do you dare?"

Lin Zhique snorted contemptuously in her heart, but in all puzzle games, whether it's chess or "please close your eyes when it gets dark", she always wins the general.

"Why don't you dare? What game?"

"The rules of the game are very simple. We pass it on. The selected person can choose the next person to say a word to him. The selected person can only answer yes. If he does not answer, he will be punished."

The students next to me were puzzled: "What's so interesting about this?"

Lin Zhique immediately realized what kindness he had in mind.

But it was hard to get off the tiger, and the other party started the game loudly, so she had to be prepared.The first few rounds were okay. People in class 6 didn't know Lin Zhique at all, and no one asked her questions at all. The questions they could think of were nothing more than "did you eat poop for breakfast today", "did you Like someone, so and so, don't you?", or spread rumors that the other party loves a certain annoying director at school, and kissed a classmate who was excluded in the class.At the age of thirteen or fourteen, it was the time when love was first opened and thin-skinned, and a small matter was too big, and even such unintentional exposure or nonsensical framing was unacceptable. After several rounds of the game, the punishment was something like handstand for 1 minute, After drinking a cup of vinegar, Lin Zhique watched from the sidelines, thinking they were childish and ridiculous.

Until the boy who started the game asked her the question for the first time: "Lin Zhique, this is not your home at all, is it?"

"Yes."

She curled her fingers and pinched her palm desperately with her nails.She cannot tremble, cannot retreat.

She thought, since you want to provoke me, don't blame me for being rude.

The right to ask questions passed to her.

She asked back: "You are actually Du Zhian's dog, aren't you?"

Annoyance flashed across the boy's face, and then he put on a victim face again, and said with a wry smile, "I can't play with you." Then he frowned and drank a whole glass of vinegar.Du Zhian interjected from the side: "Why did you drag me into the water?"

Lin Zhique snorted silently.

The game starts again.

The atmosphere has become weird and no longer resembles an innocent party.

It's become like a game where teenagers unleash gratuitous malice.

Xu Xinan, you run so fast every time you run a race. Did you run away when your dad beat you at home?

……Yes.

So-and-so, you came first in the English test last time, did you cheat?

certainly not!

Intensified.

So-and-so, you're not a virgin anymore!

Don't talk nonsense!

booing.

The girl who was spread the rumor looked like she was about to cry, but the person who asked the question said again: I mean, you are not a Virgo!It's just a game, don't be so hard on it!

Hahahahahahaha...

"Zhi'an, let me ask you!"

Du Zhian was in high spirits: "You ask, I can afford it!"

"You... the person you hate the most is there, isn't it?"

Again.

Lin Zhique swallowed secretly.She forced herself to look at Du Zhian with everyone, not letting her eyes escape.

Du Zhian's eyes flickered a few times, looking back and forth.

She could feel that Du Zhian was forcing herself not to back down just like her.

Their eyes meet across the crowd*.

Du Zhian looked at her and said, "Yes."

The noisy atmosphere in the living room gradually weakened, as if everyone held their breath together.

Du Zhian said softly again: "It's my turn."

She said slowly, word by word, and clearly: "Lin Zhique, are you Xiaosan's daughter?"

The world stands still.

Only the host on TV is still ignorantly loudly announcing the scene.

Lin Zhique's nails were firmly digging at his palm.

She doesn't allow herself to lose.

Say yes.

faster.

She forced herself to speak.

Only by speaking can you have a chance to fight back.

Xu Xinan suddenly stood up in the silence.

She passed them and shouted loudly: "Hello, Uncle!"

Everyone turned their heads away.

Du Shen walked down the stairs.

He smiled kindly and said, "Hello."

The live-in aunt stood at the stairs at some point, she looked up and said, "Sir, the porridge and side dishes are ready, would you like some?"

Lin Zhique stood up.

She rushed ahead of Du Zhian and shouted decisively: "Dad!"

She had never called Du Shen so proactively and affectionately.

Du Shen also seemed a little pleasantly surprised: "Que Er, are you having a good time?"

She responded aloud: "We're playing a game. A game where a person who is questioned can only answer yes."

"Oh, what game is that?"

"For example, just now An asked me," she turned to look at Du Zhian, "She asked me if I was Xiaosan's daughter."

Du Shen walked to the stairs.His footsteps paused, and he responded casually: "This game is playing nonsense. It's late," he instructed the live-in aunt: "Sister-in-law Ding, you call and ask Lao Ding and Chen to drive two cars and make arrangements. Send all the students home. The courtyard should also be cleaned up quickly, so much oily smoke can be smelled upstairs."

After speaking, he turned his back to them and walked towards the restaurant. After walking a few steps, he turned his head again: "Que'er, are you full? Come and have some supper with Dad."

Lin Zhique replied: "...OK."

Du Zhian was staring at her.

Xu Xinan was also dumbfounded.

She didn't even think she would do this.

Before the Du family's driver arrived, most of the students dispersed in a hurry.

Lin Zhique walked past Xu Xinan and stopped.

Xu Xinan still opened those black and white eyes, looking at her with some astonishment, as if he wanted to say something, maybe it was comforting words, but he couldn't say anything after all.Lin Zhique had no choice but to say: "Goodbye." Then he left Xu Xinan and followed her father to the restaurant.

Dishes are already set on the table.Du Shen took the main seat.

On weekdays, there are two seats next to him, one is always occupied by Tang Li, and the other is exclusive to Du Zhian. If Lin Zhique comes, he will sit on the other side of Du Zhian.

Du Shen was the only one at the dinner table today.

Seeing her hesitate, Du Shen said, "Come here and sit with Dad."

So she took a seat in Du Zhian's place.

She suddenly felt that she was very ridiculous. This oolong scene was like a fight between the heirs of the harem.But she didn't want to serve the hypocritical man in front of her as emperor.

The live-in aunt brought the remote control of the TV in the dining room, and said to Du Shen in a good voice, "Do you want to watch some news? I'll adjust it."

"Oh, Mrs. Ding, help me tune in to that one. Is my sister participating in that singing show today?"

"Oh, yes, the kids were watching it in the living room just now."

Lin Zhique lowered his head and took a sip of the boiling porridge.

She was so hot that her tongue hurt, but she didn't say a word, trying not to frown.

Du Shen pretended to pick up some food for her several times.

There was a sound of closing the door from the living room, and there was complete silence, and all the students in Class 6 left.Mrs. Ding stood at the entrance of the restaurant and looked around, shouting: "An'an, are you hungry, do you want to come and eat?"

Du Shen stopped his chopsticks.

He raised his volume, his tone was majestic but not angry: "Du Zhi'an, come here."

It took tens of seconds before Du Zhian reluctantly walked into the restaurant with silent steps.

Du Shen took a look at her, tapped the corner of the wall next to the TV with his chopsticks, "Go and stand there."

Lin Zhique put down the spoon in his hand.

Du Zhian refused to accept it, and stood on the spot without saying a word, protesting in a low voice: "Why..."

Du Shen repeated irresistibly: "Go and stand."

Du Zhian shuffled his feet and walked to that corner with his head down.

"...My mother is not here, so you just..."

Du Shen raised his voice: "Your mother is here, so it's the same."

Du Zhian was forced to stand in the corner, while Du Shen watched TV and drank porridge.

Lin Zhique couldn't take another bite.

It was clear that she won, but she didn't feel happy.

She raised her hand and pinned her hair behind her ear.

Du Shen saw the skull earrings she was wearing.

"The gods and ghosts on your ears are so ugly, take them off."

She lowered her head: "I won't pick it off."

Du Shen's tone sounded only three-point serious: "If you don't pick it up, then you can go and stand."

Lin Zhique stood up without hesitation and walked to the other corner of the restaurant.Du Shen was a little taken aback, and looked around at the two of them in a slip of the tongue.

On the TV, the show was coming to an end, and the judges were saying: "Then let's announce now that another contestant who needs to enter the ultimate PK to compete for the final top ten seat is—Du Siren."

Du Zhian secretly glanced at the TV with concern.

Du Shen snorted coldly, and Lin Zhique heard him say: "What PK, it's a mess."

2005 hot words: PK.

With the popularity of "Loving Female Voices", this word originated from online games has become known to more and more people, meaning "elimination at the bottom".In the program, this is the final part of each competition. The judges select the two sides of the PK to perform the final a cappella performance, and then the public jury on the spot votes, and the loser is eliminated.

Du Siren smiled at the camera and tried his best to appear calm.

She didn't expect to come to this point, so she didn't choose a song for this session.

When it was her turn, she said, "Then I'll sing a song I sang in my senior performance. It's called 'As Time goes by.'"

No one could interrupt her this time, she thought.

The big cameraman pointed the machine at her, as if taking a close-up of her.

This time, instead of facing Lin Zhique, she looked at the camera and sang to the national audience with a smile:

They still say, I love you.

She knows she's on stage for herself, so she doesn't have to be affectionate in moments like this.

But she knew she would hear it.

Standing on the stage, Du Siren sang to the camera with some determination of love and dreams.She kept that determination firmly in her heart, not afraid of anyone laughing at her naivety or shallowness.

Her ears were burning with tension, but she stood upright.

Voting begins.

The staff brought up two flat, long transparent ballot boxes and placed them on the sides of the PK sides.

The public judges came to the stage one by one and put the round ballots in their hands into the box.

The background music with tense drum beats was played on the spot, and the atmosphere was warm.

The host was counting the votes: "Seven to five, Dusi people are leading. Audience members, whoever gets 16 votes first will advance to the top ten in the Jincheng singing area."

Seeing Lu Shan sitting in the promoted seat, the people from Dusi shook her fist to cheer her up.

"Thirteen to fourteen! The score is very tight!"

Lin Zhique sat under the stage, and Du Siren couldn't see her expression clearly.She thought, if she was eliminated today, she would just ask her for a hug when she stepped off the stage.

"A dramatic and wonderful moment, [-] to [-] tied! The final decision - to our last public judge, who is also the champion of our Guangzhou singing area, Chen Jia!"

Du Siren looked sideways.Chen Jia walked up to the stage and stood between her and another contestant.

"Chen Jia, you know that the audience likes you very much. Before voting, would you like to say a few words?"

The host handed the microphone to Chen Jia.

"Hmm..." she pondered.

Another contestant was very excited and interrupted on stage, asking for a hug with Chen Jia.

Chen Jia hugged her, and Du Siren heard Chen Jia say cheers to her.

The host is controlling the field: "Do you want to give Siren a hug too?"

She and Chen Jia both turned around in coordination and embraced lightly.

Chen Jia whispered in her ear, "See you at the national competition."

Then, Chen Jia picked up the microphone again.

She said: "I hope to choose a stronger opponent for myself in the following games."

After finishing speaking, Chen Jia raised Du Siren's hand to the camera.
