19.

Not long after Director Li left, the new director took over her job.The monthly exam at the end of December arrived as scheduled, followed by printed transcripts and grade rankings posted on the bulletin board. Next to the densely packed long list of rankings was the new class adjusted according to the grades. roster.

"Student No. 49, pack your schoolbag and report to Class A."

Chai Jiu raised his head slowly from the trash can and waste bin in the corner. He stood up listlessly like a marionette with a stiff body, struggling to find his schoolbag from the pile of soda cans.

His cheeks were pale to the point of being bloodless, as if he hadn't had enough to eat for many days, and his school uniform covered in shoe prints and mud spots was loosely worn on his body, and he just staggered and held a stack of Textbooks that fell apart went to another classroom.

"My name is... Chai Jiu."

The young man stood timidly in front of the podium with his head down, and murmured in a voice not much louder than a mosquito.He grabbed the crumpled corners of his clothes with both hands, and stared at him with both eyes, making him feel like a light on his back.

Just this sentence, there is no more text.

The surroundings were quiet, as if the air had frozen.

Self-introduction...a long, long time ago, you still... know how to say it, right?

——My name is Chai Jiu, I am eight years old, I can play the piano, but my hobby is football!I am so happy to be able to transfer here to study!Hope to be good friends with everyone!

Who is that?

Chai Jiu looked at the lively little boy in his memory, as if he was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with him.

"It seems that classmate Chai Jiu is a bit introverted." Ji Mi put a hand on his shoulder, and smiled at the audience, "Then everyone should get along better and take care of him more."

The warm palm of that hand continuously transmitted heat to the boy's body.

"Well, since I am the class monitor, of course I have to take the lead. Let me organize everyone to have a dinner together outside in the evening." Ji Mi said, "Everyone is very tired after the exam, why don't you go out to get some fresh air and relax, or It can help Chai Jiu to integrate into Class A as soon as possible. What do you think?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a echo in the audience.

"It's been a long time since I went out for dinner! It's time to go out and have a good time!"

"School is so annoying! To be honest, the monthly exams on Christmas and the Christmas Eve review didn't go out to spend time—"

"Langlanglang add me too!"

Chai Jiu leaned stiffly in Ji Mi's arms, without any expectation of the development of the situation in front of her.

"As for the location... Well, does Chai Jiu like it there?"

He turned his head and asked with a polite smile, as if speaking to someone he was meeting for the first time.

Chai Jiu lowered her head, unable to see her expression.

"Any comments?" Ji Mi scratched his head, "Then do you have any good suggestions?"

So the audience chattered and discussed, Chai Jiu, who was ignored, managed to overcome the embarrassment of self-introduction.

"Student Chai Jiu," Ji Mi kept that posture, and softly asked Chai Jiu's ear when no one was paying attention, "What do you like to eat?"

The breath smelled of mints, sweet and cool.

"Don't worry," Ji Mi blinked, showing a rare cunning, "Just tell me what you want to eat and where to eat. If you don't like the place they selected, I will veto them all with one vote."

20.

"Good afternoon, students, welcome to today's broadcast," Ji Mi said with a gentle and slightly magnetic midrange speaker, "The piece I'm introducing to you this week is 'Somewhere in time', selected from "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" The very famous Eighteenth Variations in..."

The melody of the piano is transmitted to every corner of the campus through the speakers.

Chai Jiu was taken aback.

"Mother."

The boy murmured, hugged his knees, and fell asleep unknowingly.

……

"si-mi-la-do-"

The woman in a light gray silk gauze dress has long hair that reaches her waist, her complexion is fair and elegant, and she wears a light green jade bracelet on her slender wrist.Her hands were jumping on the black and white keys, teaching the boy in her arms to sing with a gentle voice.

"sol—si—"

The woman's sweet and somewhat lazy voice gradually merged with the boy's immature voice, like the melting maple syrup and hot milk in the afternoon.

"'somewhere'"

The woman tells the boy the name of the tune.

This is the theme song of an old movie of the same name in the 80s. The gentle, sentimental and lingering tune renders the magical romance with more beautiful colors.

Women love all things romantic.

Many years later, when the boy grew into a teenager, he stumbled into the room one afternoon with a mixture of anger, grievance, shame, etc., and heard the most familiar sound of the piano.

The young man playing the piano turned his back to him, with strong and broad shoulders.

He almost ran away.

In the end, he had no choice but to act like a paper tiger, using rough actions and harsh words to suppress the urge to rush into that person's arms for comfort.

……

"My name is Chai Jiu, and I am eight years old. I can play the piano, but my hobby is football! Ah yes! My name is the permanent long next to the word Wang, not the ten of six seven eight/ninety, oh no No, it's nine! Nine...ah, anyway, I'm so happy to be able to transfer here to study! I hope we can be good friends with everyone!"

The eight-year-old boy was smiling brightly, standing in front of the podium and dancing. He showed his greatest enthusiasm, but he was greeted by a short silence, followed by innocent whispers from the audience.

"His face is so scary."

"It's even scarier when you laugh, it's so ugly."

"Hush... Keep your voice down, let the teacher hear that you are about to deduct points."

"It's scary, I don't want to be classmates with monsters..."

Children have a clear and terrifying distinction between black and white in the world around them.Who is the 'good guy' that everyone likes, and who is the 'bad guy' that teachers and classmates hate, the bad guy should stay away, draw a clear line, and justly 'attack' with everyone, otherwise he will become a 'bad guy' Same unpopular person.

"Hahaha, look! Not only does he have a scary left face and no eyes, he might as well be called a one-eyed dragon!"

"One-eyed! One-eyed!"

Eight-year-old Chai Jiu felt that it didn't hurt at all to be hit by a ball of paper, and he could pretend that he didn't hear the nickname that was put on his head. Since he was a child, he was the core surrounded by friends, and he didn't realize that the environment around him was so important. Unseen changes occur.With goodwill towards the world and longing for new friends, he asked innocently and innocently.

"So can we play football together after school?"

His answer was a sneer.

For many, many years, all the time...just sneering.

……

When Chai Jiu woke up, it was almost dusk, and the sound of the piano was still playing continuously on the radio.

He had a lot of bad dreams.

It was at that time that Ji Mi found Chai Jiu.

The boy curled up in a corner of the library, surrounded by piles of all kinds of papyrus and hardcover books, the books were stacked so high that they almost buried him inside.The teenager fell asleep in it, like a hibernating mole.

Ji Mi leaned over gently, squatting down like a cat guarding the hole/mouth to observe its prey.

"Student Chai Jiu—"

The cat found the mole hiding in the depths of the cave/burrow.

"It's almost five o'clock, classmate Chai Jiu." Ji Mi said, "Do you still remember that we will have dinner with everyone at night?"

Chai Jiu huddled in the 'hole/cave' made up of books, indifferent.

——Is that a trap?he thinks.

"Come on quickly, everyone is waiting for you." Ji Mi stretched out her hand and said.

So Chai Jiu lowered his head.

"No."

Candy and cheese are deceptive things, the mole nests in the hole and reads silently.

"This is a welcome party for Chai Jiu. If Chai Jiu doesn't come, it's meaningless."

Ji Mi's smile is very pretty, without any dead ends, it is the girl's favorite look.

"Chairman Ji doesn't need to put on such a hypocritical look."

Chai Jiu lowered his eyes and said.

"I won't tell Chairman Ji's hobbies. There's no need to please me for this."
