14 years time difference

The studio was in full swing.It is "heat" in the physical sense. Du Siren stretched out his hand to gather the hair on the back of his head in his hands, and sure enough, he was sweating when he touched his neck.The director shouted to the crowded stage with a microphone that was intermittently malfunctioning: "Four champions—four champions, please leave the middle seat empty. Attention the top six in Jincheng, we are now rehearsing the final chorus theme song of the show. Officially During the recording, the person who finally won the championship walked back from the left hand side of the stage to the back steps and stood in the middle. When the chorus began, the people in front scattered to the two sides, letting the five champions come to the front together—— Come to the band teacher, help us play some music and adjust our position, anyone who wants to take the champion position, Dusi people, Dusi people, walk—"

On the stage, apart from the top six in Jincheng, there were also the top three in other singing areas. There were nearly twenty people, and it was a mess.

There is no air-conditioning in the studio, the stage lights are too hot, and the room is baked like an electric oven.Du Siren raised his hand to look at his watch, it was almost twelve o'clock in the morning, and he had been busy for another whole day.

The lamp above the head is like a big sun, and the stage is a place that does not distinguish between day and night.

According to the director's instructions, she walked back from the slope on the side of the stage to the back of the stage and walked past the accompaniment band.Chen Yiran was also there, and he joined the show's music team.

Chen Jia stood on the last high step of the stage. Du Siren walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with her and the other champions.The other contestants were rehearsing the chorus in front of them. The staff members were running back and forth. They stood tall and could see everything clearly. Jia said, "We seem to be slacking off."

Chen Jia smiled and replied, "Steal a little more now, and we will be busier in the future."

The Dusi people heard her subtext, but didn't answer.

The love of the audience came flooding in. Lu Xiaohua would report to her on the phone every day, saying that Du Siren, you are popular, even the aunt of our community business committee asked me to inquire about you, and the school asked me to ask for your photo for preparation. Print you on the admissions brochure... But all of this doesn't make much sense to her. Her life is filled with stage, music, camera, lighting, and the soreness of her muscles after dancing all day. Compared with In the office of [-] to [-], she belongs here even more, and belongs to this world that does not distinguish between day and night.

Reporters from the entertainment channel came to interview, and reporters from local newspapers came to interview. When these interviews were broadcast and published, she had no time to pay attention to them. She only listened to what others said. Her cell phone text box was full of strange numbers. Her old classmates, old school friends, and distant relatives, when she was resting, she had to read them one by one, and then replied one by one with thank you and smiley face symbols.

There will be no text messages from Lin Zhique.of course.

They didn't contact each other for a week.

The contestants in front spread out to both sides, the director gestured to her, and she walked towards the center of the stage.

Li Miaomiao appeared in the studio in a hurry. Du Siren only met her last week. Her personality is completely different from her brother. Every time she appeared, she talked quickly and came and went in a hurry. Ask her: Are you really brothers and sisters?As the words came to his lips, he remembered that he was completely different from Du Shen.

She heard Chen Jia sang a wrong line of the lyrics, which was especially abrupt in the chorus, turning into the end of a laughing scene.

The director looked back, the audience was in a mess, as if something had happened.

Li Miaomiao was grabbed by someone in the crowd.

The man yelled at Li Miaomiao in the background music: "Sanshui, where's that male colleague from your company, Ah Huang? Have you been together these days?"

Ten minutes ago, Zhu He said to her on the phone: "Can you get through to Ah Huang? The next time you call him, tell him for me and tell him to go directly to the company to check out and leave. Electronic pendant?"

She couldn't figure it out.Ah Huang cannot be found in the whole world.

The staff of the program group immediately told her: "The police came to the station in the afternoon to look for him. They took a photo taken by surveillance. I can't see it clearly, but it seems to be him."

She was surprised, the sound of the stereo was very loud, and she also raised her voice: "What did the police want him for?"

"The police said that he claimed to be the director of the program, and he said that there was an official fan club, which charged the audience a fee of [-] yuan. We were all questioned, and I also contacted you sister He, and she said that you have no such arrangement. What's going on, if you don't find out, if you don't fix it, the show will be stopped!"

Colorful confetti floated on the stage, and the contestants rehearsed the finale, completely unaware of the unexpected episode off the stage.

The accompaniment came to an end, everyone embraced wildly, and even rehearsed their parting. Lu Shan hugged Du Siren and said loudly in her ear: "I wish you the championship. Happy championship!"

The rehearsal was finally over, and when she was about to leave the studio, Chen Yiran handed her a small gift bag.

There was a lot of noise around, and he faltered several times before she heard it clearly: "This is a graduation gift for you."

"Thank you." She took it.There seems to be no reason to refuse. "Then congratulations on your successful application."

"I... wrote some words here. Just read it, it's nothing."

Du Siren nodded: "Okay."

He handed over another bag: "Also, Xiao Hua asked me to bring you your bachelor's uniform. You will wear it for the graduation ceremony tomorrow."

Lu Shan came down from the stage and was urging her to leave. Before she could speak, Chen Yiran bid her farewell, and hurriedly turned around and lowered her head to pack up the equipment.

Du Siren covered the bag of small gifts on the academic gown, worried that Lu Shan would feel unhappy if she saw the bachelor gown.

The staff reminded them with a loudspeaker: "Attention all contestants, the official recording will be on Thursday the day after tomorrow, and the music director will come to see your song rehearsal on Wednesday night. The vocal teacher will be in rehearsal hall D tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you can ask for advice at any time. In addition," The staff paused, "I heard that tomorrow is the graduation ceremony in the ivory tower. Let us wish Du Siren a happy graduation in advance and officially join our social university!"

The studio cheered instantly, everyone smiled brightly, and shouted to wish her a happy graduation, Du Siren just subconsciously turned to look at Lu Shan, Lu Shan was also smiling, walked to her side, raised her hand and shook her shoulders.

Lucanne will not be graduating.

She even wrote "graduated from high school" in the education column of the registration form.

The notice with the red stamp of judgment is still neatly folded and placed in the middle layer of the Dusi people's bag, and the Dusi people carry it with them, so that no one can see it.

Before the national competition, the program team only arranged accommodation for contestants from other places, so they left the TV station and took taxis to go home.

When Du Siren walked out of the TV station building, several program viewers waited for her at the door until early morning, gave her a bouquet of pink roses, and told her incoherently that they would always support her.When she got into the taxi and the car drove slowly, they were still shouting out the window: People from Dusi!Our whole family will vote for you!

She was really embarrassed, and the driver was also looking at her in the rearview mirror, so she had to look down at the bouquet of roses.

This is the first time she has received flowers from fans.

The car accelerated, and the small gift bag from Chen Yiran slipped from the big bag containing the bachelor's uniform.

Dusi bent over to pick it up.

She took out the contents of the bag and unwrapped it.

It's a Mayday album. "The Children of God Are Dancing".

She remembered that she used this album as a childish excuse. At that time, without knowing or admitting it, the strong feeling of wanting to talk to someone was "like".

Dusi opened the lid of the box.

The car drove through the dimly lit section of the road, and I couldn't see clearly, only a few handwritings on the CD.

The car turns.

A beam of light from a street lamp filtered into the window.

Those few handwritings said "I like you".

Illuminated briefly and then dimmed again.

The car sped past the next street light.

Light up again.

like you.

Dusi people recognize all the handwriting with upward strokes.

The car was still driving, and the handwriting in front of my eyes was as bright and dark as my thoughts, and the purpose was unclear.

like you.

The gymnasium was packed again.Lin Zhique really didn't know how he came to this terrible place again.

At least this time there's no screeching turn-of-the-century music and college kids writhing to it like crazy.

There are long red banners on the high walls on both sides of the gymnasium: You are not old, spread your wings and fly, make great strides towards a better tomorrow, and send off the 2005 graduates.

The seats for the graduates were at the front, and only one-third of the venue was filled. The students' relatives and friends, as well as some fans who wanted to see Dusiren were crowded in the back.

Lin Zhique came late, so he found a random place in the corner to sit down.The ceremony began at eight o'clock in the morning, and the leaders gave speeches one by one. She leaned against the wall and began to doze off, completely unaware that someone bent over the crowd and came to her.

Until the man sat down beside her.

Lin Zhique turned his head.

Dusi held the bachelor's uniform that he had taken off, and also carried a bunch of other things.

She glanced at Lin Zhique, but she didn't smile, and even her jawline was a little tense.

Lin Zhique naturally saw that Du Siren was losing his temper.

But she didn't say anything, and spoke to Dusi people lightly: "Graduate, isn't your position here?"

Du Siren looked at the podium, went straight to the point, and answered irrelevant questions: "I received an album yesterday."

"What album?"

Of course it was that album.she knows.

"Can't remember what album it was. However, there are a few words written on the album."

"Yeah." Lin Zhique nodded.

Dusi turned his head.

She said softly, "I want to ask you, what does that mean?"

Lin Zhique crossed his arms and looked away.

"What do you mean? I didn't give it to you, how would I know?"

"You wrote it."

"I just wrote it on behalf of you. You should ask the person who gave it to you for the specific meaning."

Lin Zhique kept his tone flat, thinking it was effortless.

"I didn't ask what he meant by sending this sentence to me. I asked," the Dusi man said word for word, but not forcefully, "you helped him write this sentence, what do you mean?"

Lin Zhique turned his head.Here again, the Dusi people don't have too many ups and downs, seemingly calm, but fragile and cautious like an abandoned child.

She wanted to answer, just like helping others write happy graduation and friendship forever, for her, it has no other meaning.

She couldn't answer.

The Dusi people blinked, turned their heads, and looked at the progress at the front. The graduates were lining up on the stage to receive their degrees.She got up, put a lot of things in her hand at Lin Zhique's feet, and put on her academic uniform.

"I'm leaving," she said.

She bent over the crowd again, and a few people nearby looked up and recognized her, and as she walked forward, there was a small commotion like waves.

Lin Zhique looked at Du Siren's back.

She knew she was hurting, but there was nothing else she could do.

After all, she is an adult, and she has long been used to being unable to do what everyone wants in such things.

She lowered her head to look at the large bags thrown at her feet by the people from Dusi, which contained several textbooks, some graduation gifts, a group photo of grades, and a medal for outstanding graduates.She took out her graduation photos and looked among a group of people wearing academic hats, starting from the sidemost side and looking for them one by one.

The Dusi people were almost standing in the middle.

Sure enough, she was different from a fringe figure in her student days.

The paper bag at her feet vibrated.

Lin Zhique reached out to touch, and found Du Siren's cell phone.

The vibration stopped and it became a missed call.

Then, shake again.

Lin Zhique answered the phone.

"Hello? Hello. Du Si is not here. She is preparing to go on stage at today's graduation ceremony."

"Oh, hello, is this Dusi's family? I'm from the program group of the TV station. Please inform her that the final recording is ahead of schedule. Come to the station before ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Tonight before twelve o'clock If you have time, it’s best to come, and you can adjust the performance stage again.”

"Okay." Lin Zhique replied, "...wait a minute. When was the original recording time?"

The other end replied: "It was originally scheduled to be the day after tomorrow. But there are some problems with the venue coordination, and now it is changed to tomorrow."

The phone hangs up.

The names of the graduates are being read on the stage.

"The next one is welcome: 2001-level acting major Du Siren."

The applause was especially loud.

Lin Zhique watched as Du Siren walked up to the stage and shook hands with the principal.The applause in the venue was almost like a huge wave.On the high wall is written: Youth is not old, spread your wings and fly, and make great strides towards a better tomorrow.

Du Siren walked leisurely amidst the applause, as if his future was bright.

What if she didn't participate in the recording of Jincheng finals tomorrow?

Lin Zhique looked down at the phone in his hand.

She removed the SIM card from the phone.

There is a bottle of mineral water in the Dusi paper bag.

Lin Zhique took it out, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured water into the charging port of the mobile phone with a splash.

One is to change her fate, and the other is to make her bear a grudge, meddling in other's affairs is not like her own.
