The teenagers in the broken shimmer dance with the wind

Chapter 8 The Children Under the Light

Tao Wangyan

Fame is like a drug. Once you get involved with it, you will never quit it for life. How can a person who is used to being admired by others get used to being ordinary.

Tao Wangyan stared at the newspaper in his hand. His father once again made headlines in entertainment. This time he was praised for his good deeds. Everyone said that he was a good man, a rare ray of light in the entertainment industry.

He watched, stared, and finally turned off the phone.

Only him and Xue Fanyuan, who was sleeping with headphones on, were the only ones in the dormitory.

The phone rang, and the person's name lit up on the screen. He hesitated for a long time before answering the call.

A strange voice came from the opposite side, that voice told him to go home quickly, his father needed his cooperation for some work matters.

Broker uncle.

He sneered, there was nothing wrong with it, and it would be a pleasure to simply chat with him.

"whats the matter?"

"It's like this. Your dad is going to participate in a show about traveling with a wife recently. Your dad said that you are studying music. It should be because you want to develop in the entertainment industry. Joining this show and acting according to the script will benefit both of you and your son."

"Oh? Then what kind of son do I want to play?"

"You just listen to your father, it seems that the tutor has..."

He put down the phone, covered the earpiece with his fingertips, and gently felt the vibration of the subtle voice entering the air. Gradually, the vibration turned into a trembling of his fingertips, and his wrist felt a little sore Come.

The economic man's voice was not low, even if he didn't put it close to his ears, he could still hear the subtle voice clearly.

It took 15 minutes for the people over there to finish their long speech without realizing it.

He put the mobile phone back to his ear, and said to the person over there: "That is to say, it is best for me to be self-willed with my dad on the show, crying and telling him that he is usually busy with work and can't go home? This will show his The greatness and professional attitude? Can you change the script after many years? It’s the same thing every day, and I’m tired of the audience.”

The manager over there is a very talkative person. Hearing Tao Wangyan's question, he just practiced Tai Chi and smiled apologetically, "Why do you mean that? Anyway, it's just to create something interesting for the show, and..."

"Let me tell you." He yawned wearily, with tears in his eyes, whether it was from drowsiness or sadness: "He wants a son to accompany him in acting. There are many young people in the film academy. You must find me if necessary. Hang up."

"That...!!" The manager over there was also anxious and shouted anxiously.

He still didn't hang up, just looked at the name of the phone on the street with the word "Father", and then listened to the strange voice on the other end of the phone, he felt sad for himself for a moment.

"Uncle, tell my dad that he used me when I was a child. I didn't understand it at that time. Now that I understand, I won't be used by him again."

The coldness between the words was beyond his imagination.

He gave up, the paternal love he longed for was not like this, since he couldn't get it, he should just give up.

Turning his head to find Xue Fanyuan staring at him with a smile, Tao Wangyan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm listening to Guo Degang's cross talk."

"Your hobbies are getting more and more unique." Tao Wangyan sat up and turned around to walk to his bed, and lay down on his stomach, "Fan Yuan. I'm so annoying."

"The last time you looked like this was a year ago." Xue Fanyuan giggled: "At that time you also answered a phone call and then became depressed. I remember that we were still practicing dance in the practice room at that time, and you were also like this. He looked like lying on my stomach, and then said, Fan Yuan, I'm so annoying."

"Ah."

Xue Fanyuan took off the earphones from his ears, but there was no sound coming from the earphones.He patted the back of the boy beside him, pursed his lips and said, "Is your father?"

"Who else can make people so depressed with just one phone call?"

Xue Fanyuan never comforted him, and never told him something.Just accompany him quietly, and tell him some past things, basically happy things.

"You never comfort me." He also felt puzzled, obviously he was a troublemaker, but he never said a word of comfort.

"What do I comfort you for?" Xue Fanyuan smiled and said, "If the persuasion is useful, you won't be bothered anymore. Sadness comes quickly, but happiness comes slowly. Your happiness is on the road, and it will come sooner or later."

"I have such a father, even if I want to come, it will be 1000 years later."

"Don't say such stupid things." Xue Fanyuan turned on his phone and looked at the time: "Let's go, it's time for dinner. There is a chicken pot on the street, shall we go eat?"

"have to."

He got up neatly, and just walked out of the dormitory when he saw a group of people taking a penalty kick on the basketball court.After waving, the two of them walked out of the school.

Behind him is the intermittent sound of ancient music in the auditorium.Even if there is no competition, some people have been immersed in their own world.

"Jinghong is really self-disciplined." After the two ordered the dishes, Xue Fanyuan said with one hand resting on his chin, "I will never be able to practice dancing so regularly like him in my whole life."

"It's a habit he's developed since he was a child."

"Excuses, habits also require self-discipline."

"Let's play two less games to have this time." The young man couldn't help smiling, and asked with his chin: "What do you think is the difference between this chicken pot and braised chicken?"

"One can cook vegetables, and the other can't." Xue Fanyuan answered simply.

After hesitating for a while, when the dishes were all served, Xue Fanyuan looked at the young man opposite him through the white smoke, concealed his concern indistinctly, and asked with a smile, "Should we think about what kind of midterm exam it will be?" gone?"

Tao Wangyan, who was pouring meat into the chicken pot, trembled his fingertips, and said hesitantly, "Didn't you listen to what I told you last time?"

"What are you talking about?" He pretended to be confused, and said with a confused face: "I was going to sleep that night, and I couldn't hear what you said."

Tao Wangyan sat down, the tip of his nose was filled with the aroma of food, perhaps the temperature of the air conditioner was set too low, and the hairs on his forearms stood up. Looking at the young and stubborn boy opposite him, he said: "You go to someone else to take the exam together, I..."

"Why?" The usually stubborn monkey also calmed down. He shrugged and asked again, "Is it because of your father?"

"You don't understand." He leaned back halfway in the chair. In fact, Tao Wangyan was more like his mother, but the light of his father was too bright. When others saw him, they would think of the person at the top.

Looking at the white smoked rice pot in front of him, which was boiled at a high temperature and bubbled out, and the sound of gurgling sounded disturbing, he subconsciously reached out and wiped his forehead, trembling all over his body: "When I was young, I participated in the After a parent-child show, I was very happy. After all, it was my father. I was very happy to see him with him during his working hours. Even though my father was a little indifferent to me, he was kind to my mother. I don’t care, I still want my father.” He said: “At that time in the program, he said that he regretted being so busy with work every day and couldn’t go home to accompany my mother and me. This must be changed in the future. That’s what he said , I believe it." He smiled wryly, his eyes met, his eyes were full of bitterness like coptis, and even the flesh in his mouth was dry.

Tao Wangyan said: "Because he is his son, he is often followed and interviewed by newspapers and magazines, and compared with other people's sons. No matter how good I am, entertainment reporters will step on me, and from time to time I will be slapped. Stalking, for a while, my dad was photographed going to the movies with a female star, and there were dozens of reporters blocking my door. As soon as I went out, my face was blurred by the microphone, and everyone was asking what happened to me and my mother Looking at this matter, there are so many people in China, so many people are staring at it, just treat it as a commotion, and never think about how my mother and I feel."

There was a moment of silence, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the surroundings, Xue Fanyuan didn't understand this, he could only look at the sadness in his brow and eyes, and spend this lonely and lonely moment with him.

"I thought my dad would come to protect me and mom." After a short silence, he said, "I thought he would come back, just like the hero in the TV, appearing in front of me and mom, we don't care about those things, He'll take care of it." With a sneer, the father-son relationship in the fantasy was frozen: "I found out later that it was a good show he directed and performed, and even half of the reporters at the door He brought it on. Hype! What happens to my mother and I has nothing to do with him."

"He only cares about his own career, and he cares about his role as a good man in the eyes of the audience. In fact, he is such a ruthless person."

Xue Fanyuan listened, and asked again: "But in the final analysis, this is your father's business. What does it have to do with you? Why don't you want to take the midterm exam?"

Tao Wangyan said: "Don't worry, listen to me." He calmed the emotions of the person in front of him, and then said: "I want to enter the entertainment industry, be closer to my dad, and become better than him. He took everything away. But I also know that the old man is a bit talented, and my rampage is useless at all, so I simply started studying. So, I took the art test, passed the test, but was assigned to this branch school. I come here The first day of my life was full of earth-shattering news. An inexplicable life."

"Fanyuan." He smiled lightly: "I just realized after coming here that many things are really about talent. My piano can match Li Yuanzhi, and rap can compete with Huang Chuanhui. Besides, I'm very mediocre. I can sing and dance. After all, I'm just an ordinary person."

"Compared to the harm my father gave me." He said: "I am afraid of the strong people I have seen in this branch school."

"Isn't that enough?" Xue Fanyuan also smiled: "I don't know how to play the piano yet, I don't know how to sing very much, and the dance is only in the upper middle class. Xu Qingzhou immediately fell to the bottom. I am not very good. The strong have their own strong hands. We are not as hardworking as they are. You haven't seen Xu Qingzhou writing songs, staying in the music shed all day Not coming out. Another musical madman."

"Yeah." He nodded heavily: "That's what it means."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not a music lunatic." He shrugged and pointed to his heart, "I'm different from them, I'm not a music lunatic. I don't seem to like music that much. I was admitted to art school because I didn't agree with my dad, but now... ... I also found that it is not that simple, strength is one aspect, the right time, place and people, everything is very important."

"So, are you going to give up?" Xue Fanyuan frowned, childishly angry: "It's not that you don't want to participate in the mid-term semester, but you are already planning to give up this school, right!"

Hearing the anger in his tone, Tao Wangyan had no room to refute, he just shrugged and said, "I don't know yet, so I want to ask for a period of leave first. No matter what, I can't delay your exam."

"Then I'll take the test when you come back." He put down his chopsticks, turned around with his wallet in his hand, and went to the counter to pay.

Looking at the clean bowl in front of him, Tao Wangyan shook his head innocently and said, "I really didn't delay eating."

While Tao Wangyan was in a daze, the people over there had already opened the door and went out without any hesitation. Just like what he had said, Xue Fanyuan had no intention of turning back.

Knowing Xue Fanyuan's temperament, he sighed and quickened his pace to chase after him.

"Are you going to make fun of your grades?" After chasing after him, Tao Wangyan frowned and asked, "This midterm exam is related to whether you can go back to the main school next year. Do you really want to go?"

"What about after you go?" Xue Fanyuan smiled happily. He was as bright as the sun, his brows and eyes were shining, and his eyes were shining with stars. He was always the brightest existence among all the people: "What about after you go? You want to go It's a lonely road, but what I want to take is an absolute happy road, if I don't go back to the main school with you, then it would be better for me to stay here."

"Don't mess around!"

"It's not nonsense." He frowned, still childish: "This is a choice."

"choose?"

"Don't you think?" He spoke very fast, as if time passed by, faster than the seasons of the world, and he hit people's hearts straight: "Music is beautiful. Playing music with friends The best. I'm after the best things."

"You really don't know what's good or bad." He smiled.

Seeing him smiling, Xue Fanyuan felt more at ease, and patted his stomach: "I didn't feel full after talking to you just now, let's go to the street to buy some barbecue and take it home, they must like it, I just gave you the money, now you give."

"robber."

Xue Fanyuan ignored him at all, and only spoke for a while: "The theme of our mid-term this time is food, okay? Aren't you a rap singer? How about writing a rap about food?"

Listening to his hopeful voice, Tao Wangyan couldn't say a word of rejection any more.

There was no word of rejection.

Back at school, everyone on the basketball court was having fun. He stared at the people shuttled back and forth on the basketball court, and couldn't help but freeze in place. It was Xue Fanyuan's voice telling them to eat skewers that brought him back to reality.

Huang Chuanhui must be the first to rush forward. He snatched the biggest squid in the lunch box in one leap, and he was still unwilling to go forward to grab the fish tofu that Li Yuanzhi had just got.

He didn't get annoyed and just let him make trouble.

It was another night after such a fuss.

Three days later, in the early morning, a car drove into the school, and the actor who was much-anticipated was sitting in the car.

The film king found his target among a group of children walking towards the practice room while yawning. Tao Wangyan lay leisurely on Xue Fanyuan's shoulder, yawning and getting ready to rehearse the dance for the mid-term exam.Their program is already in shape, it just needs to be practiced.

Xu Shi had an inexplicable feeling between father and son. When everyone was talking about luxury cars, only he consciously quickened his pace and wanted to escape from this place.

"Forget the words."

The actor in the car smiled kindly, his facial muscles were raised to an appropriate position, which happened to be a loving smile.

Tao Wangyan was no stranger to this kind of laughter, subconsciously there was a sour feeling in his heart, and waves of nausea rolled in his heart, he felt that he was about to vomit.

He didn't want to go, but he had to go under the eyes of everyone.

After all, I still don't want to lose face.

Xue Fanyuan watched Tao Wangyan frowned and walked there, instinctively wanted to follow, but was stopped by Wan Liyou: "Why are you following?"

He was about to explain to Wan Liyou, when he turned his head and met those peachy eyes full of suspicion and defense, the owner of peachy eyes pressed his shoulder: "Let's see the situation first."

"Why do you have this expression?" Xue Fanyuan instinctively wondered what Wanliyou knew.

"That smile is fake." Wan Liyou said bluntly, he whispered next to Xue Fanyuan: "That is the dramatic face that only appears in acting. I have filmed with him, it is fake."

Countless hesitation and boredom arose in Wan Liyou's heart, he turned to look at Xu Shanmu, and saw the man sitting lazily by the flowerbed, holding a stalk of dog's tail in his hand, and was teasing him with the dog's tail Several cats, the shadow of the leaves falling on his shoulders is a bit more realistic and peaceful illusion.

Sensing Wanliyou's gaze, he slowly raised his head: "What are you looking at me for?"

"Do you understand this scene?" he asked bluntly.

Xu Shanmu still teased the cat with his eyes lowered, his whole body was full of laziness, and there was an indifferent smile at the corner of his mouth: "I can't understand everything."

Wan Liyou held his hands behind his back, concealing a little reproach, turned around and walked to the basketball court, and said to Xu Shanmu who was teasing the cat on the spot: "Let's practice again in the afternoon, I will play basketball for a while."

"Okay." He was still smiling, unmoved.

Tao Mo over there didn't know what he had said to Tao Wangyan, but Tao Wangyan had a sarcastic smile on his face, and he said something, Tao Mo over there nodded secretly, then closed the car window, and left contentedly .

Tao Wangyan let out a sigh of relief after the car left.

After all, he turned around and met Xue Fanyuan's worried gaze, and could only helplessly shrug his shoulders: "I really can't accompany you in the midterm exam this time."

Xue Fanyuan smiled easily and turned to enter the teaching building. He didn't answer or blame him, he pretended not to hear.

"Fan Yuan." He couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously stepped forward to chase after him.

It was Xu Shanmu who made the shackles under his feet, and his voice was like a sharp knife cutting straight through his hypocritical integrity.

Xu Shanmu said, "You seem to be relieved?"

After all, it was Xu Shanmu who could see through people's hearts, his eyes met, he lowered his head guiltyly, just being glanced at, Tao Wangyan knew that those selfish and unreasonable thoughts in his heart had been completely seen through by that genius.

He froze on the spot, at a loss, trembling like suffocation, afraid of being exposed in the next second, but only saw Xu Shanmu smile at him lightly, without any other intention, turned around and walked under the sea of ​​green shadows next to the basketball court , silently looked at the book in his hand, and quietly waited for Wanliyou to finish playing basketball.

His indifference was beyond Tao Wangyan's expectation, so, did Xu Shanmu see through it, or did he not?Now that you have seen through it, why don't you come here to persuade him, don't say a word or two, and don't expose him?What does that smile mean.

Another group of people poured out of the corridor, seeing this person froze in place, they couldn't avoid asking questions.Knowing that he asked for leave, Ruo Jinghong only took out two lollipops that Huang Chuanhui gave him just now from his bag, and he smiled sweetly from the beginning, his eyes seemed to be flying red, he was still cheerful and charming: " Come back soon." He is extremely simple, yet has insight into human nature, and after rolling around in the world of mortals, he still treats the people around him tenderly.

Tao Wangyan always felt that Jinghong knew something too.

The last one met was Xu Qingzhou's eyes. The man stood behind Ruo Jinghong, with his hands in his pockets, looking like a high-ranking winner. There was an unclear smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people pay attention.

He stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "come back early."

They seem to know everything, but they don't say anything.

Everyone abides by the last line of defense that cannot be broken in interpersonal communication, leaving dignity for each other and room for communication.

Xu Shanmu, who was sitting by the basketball court, watched Tao Wangyan leave over there. He turned a page of the book in his hand. In an instant, he suddenly wanted to meddle in his own business, so he showed this sentence to Tao Wangyan.In the end, I gave up and turned over after a little nostalgia.

But that sentence kept rolling in my mind.

All parents hurt their children.No one can help.A child is like a clean glass, on which the person who takes it will leave his fingerprints.Some parents stain the glass, some crack it, and a few parents destroy their children's childhoods into irreparable pieces. 】——"Five People You Met in Heaven"
