Chapter 152 Mom.
It didn't take too long. Before it got completely dark, the instructors of all the classes came to the playground. The instructors didn't even look at the program list in Liu Shimin's hand. They just sat down on the playground and waved.
"You guys can arrange yourselves the program later. We have plenty of time."
"okay, I get it"
Class monitor Liu Shimin looked at the program in her hand and began to study it herself
".Liu Xingze's Cantonese song is suitable for the opening. Hmm. As for Wu Xianyu's song, judging from the name, it's a military song. I guess not many people would like to listen to it. Let's put it at the end. It's just the right song to be the main attraction."
After some revisions, Liu Shimin soon sorted out a program list, stood up and walked to Liu Xingze, patting him on the shoulder.
"Xingze, you will be the first to perform in our class's show later. Is that okay?"
After waiting for a long time without getting a reply, Liu Shimin frowned and looked at Liu Xingze, only to see him staring at her stupidly. Her brows couldn't help but frown even deeper. Although she had never been in love, she was still very sensitive.
Sometimes it felt very unreasonable. Although Liu Xingze never expressed anything to Liu Shimin, Liu Shimin could feel Liu Xingze's different attitude towards her.
Seeing that the monitor's expression was not very good, Hu Shuo hit Liu Xingze with his crutch. Liu Xingze came back to his senses in pain and quickly spoke
"No problem, no problem, as long as there is accompaniment"
"Okay, the accompaniment is ready, and there will be speakers later. Perform well and don't embarrass our class."
After giving a few instructions, Liu Shimin went to find the next performer in a swift and decisive manner. Actually, there were not so many programs for a class of more than thirty people. Including Wu Xianyu and Liu Xingze, there were only five in total. However, Liu Shimin knew that her position as class monitor was not very stable. She wanted to strengthen her image in the hearts of her classmates through this program planning so that she could sit more firmly in the position of class monitor.
The singing started soon. At the beginning, all the freshmen were divided into two sides and they sang military songs to each other. The competition was to see who had the loudest voice. In the end, there was no winner. Then the instructor and squad leader walked to the middle of the playground with a microphone, smiling.
"Everyone is very energetic. The voices of both sides are almost the same loud. I can't tell who is the winner for a while. How about this, we start the individual competition. Each side will send out contestants to compete in singing. Who will go first?"
"We'll go this way first"
Liu Shimin raised her hand high, then without waiting for the chief instructor's instructions, turned to look at Liu Xingze, motioning him to go straight up.
Liu Xingze stood up and looked at the crowded playground. There were also seniors watching the excitement outside the playground. His hands and feet began to tremble, but when he saw Liu Shimin's sharp eyes, he swallowed his saliva, walked to the middle with weak steps, took the microphone from the chief instructor, and reluctantly said the opening words.
"Hello everyone, I'm Liu Xingze from the English Department Class 1701. This time I'm bringing you a Cantonese song called "Night Colors". I hope you like it."
At this time, there was a burst of laughter in the crowd. Liu Xingze was really timid and it was really not presentable. When Hu Shuo saw that his little brother was being laughed at, he immediately raised his hands above his head and clapped hard. Wu Xianyu reacted quickly and followed suit.
With someone taking the lead, the crowd began to applaud spontaneously. Liu Xingze didn't actually pay much attention to the people who were applauding. He just heard other sounds besides his own breathing, and he felt a lot less nervous.
Looking at the person who played the accompaniment, Liu Xingze nodded. Not long after, a dynamic accompaniment sounded. Hearing the familiar accompaniment, Liu Xingze's body obviously relaxed and was no longer so tense. Counting the beats, Liu Xingze picked up the microphone.
"The fluorescent lights, chandeliers and spotlights continue to shine, and the strobing lasers continue to reveal their secrets tonight."
“Wuhu~~”
Wu Xianyu was acting as the atmosphere group below, cheering, and the rhythm of the song was quite exciting, so soon the other freshmen also followed suit and cheered.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xingze felt completely relaxed, and his confident side as a young man gradually emerged.
"The happy beats passed by in a daze, how much happiness is here in a hazy state"
"Actually, you don't need to chase anymore, just keep dancing and follow the calls of Hi Hi Hi"
The singer was not nervous, and the listeners also relaxed. Many boys stood up and jumped along with the singer.
The song only lasted a few minutes. When Liu Xingze finished singing the last line of the lyrics, he glanced at Liu Shimin when he left the stage. Seeing her nodding with a satisfied look on her face, he was immediately encouraged and walked back to his seat happily.
"Of course, Xingze, I didn't realize you had this ability. I was already moving just now."
Shu Junfei climbed onto Liu Xingze's neck, feeling a little excited.
“Hahaha, it’s just so-so, but this song is exciting enough.”
Liu Xingze became a little shy again when he returned to his seat, and was very modest in his words.
The performance continued, and the atmosphere was getting better and better. However, people's energy was limited. As the performance went on, the mood of the crowd was not as high as at the beginning. The chief instructor was very experienced. He looked at the status of the students on both sides and spoke into the microphone.
"It's getting late, so let's each have one last performance. Who's going first?"
Without Liu Shimin raising her hand, Wu Xianyu stood up and walked towards the venue, took the microphone and said
"Hello everyone, I am Wu Xianyu from the English Department Class 1701, and I am here to sing the song "Green Flowers in the Army."
The chief instructor, who had just walked off the field, stumbled and turned to look at Wu Xianyu in the center of the field. What the hell, how did this guy come up with this song?
Quickly walked to the instructor who was playing the accompaniment, and whispered
"What's going on? Why is this song playing?"
"Ah? Is there something wrong with this song?"
The instructor in charge of playing the accompaniment had an innocent expression on his face. The chief instructor was a little helpless. These instructors were all students recruited from military academies. Many of them did not know the killing power of this song. These students in military training might not be too touched by it, but for those in the military academies, forget it. It would be better for them to contact the instructor as soon as possible.
The chief instructor hurried over to the side and just as he picked up his phone, the music started playing. He took a deep breath after hearing the lyrics and spoke into the phone.
"Instructor"
“The cold wind blows the fallen leaves, the army is a green flower; dear comrades, don’t miss home, don’t miss your mother.” After hearing this song, many freshmen felt bored and their attention was diverted. Once their attention was diverted, they discovered something incredible.
"Hey, look at the instructor, are his eyes red?"
"Fuck, look at the other instructors."
The chief instructor stood at the edge of the field, looking at his students, his heart was in agony, and the song kept drilling into his mind, making him think of his mother. Shaking his head, the chief instructor cut off the accompaniment while Wu Xianyu finished singing the first part, and strode into the field.
"Thank you for this student's performance. It was wonderful and full of emotion. Now, please let the other student perform."
Not many people cared that Wu Xianyu only sang half of the song, because many people's attention was focused on their respective instructors. Seeing that the instructors who were usually stern and determined now had red eyes and Adam's apples rolling, they felt shocked.
The chief instructor glanced at Wu Xianyu and waited patiently for the last performance to end. The sound of these few minutes was extremely unbearable. When the music ended, the chief instructor took the microphone and went on stage.
"The students all performed brilliantly. We couldn't tell who was the winner for a while, so let's call it a draw. Thanks to all the students who performed, and we're dismissed."
After the singing competition ended hastily, the chief instructor gathered all the instructors together, and after walking out of the playground, he took out the cigarettes he had and scattered them, and then chatted with them one by one before the instructor arrived.
Wu Xianyu realized something was wrong when he was singing. He seemed to have underestimated the power of the song. He had seen people making fun of this song on short videos before, and their tone was full of relaxation and reminiscence. As expected, one cannot believe things on the Internet. He had misjudged.
So when the chief instructor asked him to leave, he cooperated and finished the performance. After the performance was dismissed, he looked at the depressed instructors behind him and reflected on himself. He decided to investigate before making a decision in the future. He should ask Uncle Liu about this matter next time.
Thinking of this, Wu Xianyu took out his cell phone and sent a message to Uncle Liu, asking him how powerful this song was in the army. Without waiting for a reply, Wu Xianyu put away his phone and saw that Lin Miaomiao, who was following him, didn't seem to be in a good mood either.
"Miao Miao, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just felt a little sad because of your song."
Lin Miaomiao followed Wu Xianyu, lowered her head, and looked at her feet. Others might have lost interest after hearing that Wu Xianyu was singing a military song, but she still listened carefully. After all, it was Wu Xianyu who was singing, and she was interested in whatever he sang. But the more she listened to the song, the more depressed she became. Although she was not in the military camp, she was also far away from her family, and the feeling was the same.
Wu Xianyu didn't expect to hurt Lin Miaomiao by mistake, so he reached out and held her in his arms. Lin Miaomiao didn't struggle. When she smelled Wu Xianyu's scent, she felt a little better. At this time, Wu Xianyu took out his mobile phone again, and soon, a voice familiar to Lin Miaomiao came.
"Miao Miao? What's wrong?"
Lin Miaomiao raised her head suddenly and saw Wang Shengnan's face on Wu Xianyu's phone screen. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she hit Wu Xianyu twice.
"Why are you calling my mom?"
With a tone of grievance, but not avoiding the camera, Wu Xianyu smiled and endured Lin Miaomiao's punch, and explained to Wang Shengnan:
"Miao Miao missed you but was too embarrassed to call you, so I played the bad guy."
"Oh, you still miss me, hahaha, it's not in vain that I have supported you for more than ten years."
When Wang Shengnan's voice came, Lin Miaomiao's originally negative mood immediately improved. She took Wu Xianyu's phone and started arguing with Wang Shengnan.
The two did not rush back to the dormitory. They left the large group of people and came to a sparsely populated small road. They sat on a chair by the roadside. Wu Xianyu listened to the bickering between Lin Miaomiao and Wang Shengnan, and a suppressed emotion surged in his heart. He was not an orphan. He had lived a different life for more than 20 years and experienced the love of his parents. But here, he would never see his original parents again. The parents here had also sacrificed themselves, and he would never feel the love of his parents in this life.
This song has a really strong aftertaste. Damn, Wu Xianyu stood on the path, looked up at the sky, and let out a long breath.
At this time, Lin Miaomiao's voice gradually became louder, and it seemed that she was walking towards him. Wu Xianyu quickly calmed down and turned to look at Lin Miaomiao.
Fortunately, it was already dark, and Wu Xianyu was facing away from the street light, so Lin Miaomiao didn't notice anything strange about Wu Xianyu.
"Here, my mom wants to tell you something, so that you don't bully me, a little bit."
As she spoke, Lin Miaomiao stuck out her tongue. Seeing her like this, Wu Xianyu smiled, took his phone, and looked at Wang Shengnan and opened his mouth.
"mom"
As soon as this name came out, the three of them were stunned. Lin Miaomiao blushed a little, thinking that this name was too early, but looking at Wu Xianyu's expression, Lin Miaomiao immediately threw aside her inner shyness. How could she forget that Xianyu's parents were not around? Alas, this is too wrong. Lin Miaomiao stood up and looked at Wu Xianyu standing there in a daze, while she stood there anxiously.
Wu Xianyu was also stunned, feeling a little embarrassed, his mind was in a mess. He moved away from the camera and wanted to ask Lin Miaomiao for help to get over this, but Wang Shengnan's voice came and stunned Wu Xianyu.
"Hahahaha, Xiaoyu, it's so nice of you to call me mom. You got a son for nothing. You should call me mom like that from now on. You will have to change it sooner or later anyway. It won't hurt to wait any longer."
Wu Xianyu didn't know how he answered later. He could only try to maintain a smile and not cry in front of the camera. Seeing Wu Xianyu like this, Lin Miaomiao, who was watching, was extremely anxious. She snatched Wu Xianyu's phone and said to Wang Shengnan:
"Mom, it's getting late. I'm hanging up."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Miaomiao turned around and buried Wu Xianyu's face in her arms, saying comfortingly
"It's okay. It's good to cry and relieve your emotions. I've known you for so long and I've never seen you cry. You must have a lot of emotions in your heart. I'm by your side. You can share any emotions with me in the future. Sharing happy emotions doubles the happiness, and sharing sad emotions halves the sadness."
Lin Miaomiao didn't know where she got so much to say. She just felt that the clothes on her chest seemed to be wet. Wu Xianyu's body was shaking, and his hands around her body were holding her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would leave.
"Baby, baby, you are the strongest baby. After crying, you are still the man I can rely on, but my arms will always be the place where you vent your emotions. Oh, no wonder women are called brides at weddings. What I am doing now is really the same as my mother."
Lin Miaomiao didn't know what she was saying. She was not very good at comforting people and basically said whatever came to her mind. As a result, Wu Xianyu in her arms seemed to be amused and chuckled.
"Ah"
Wu Xianyu raised his head from Lin Miaomiao's arms, wiped the water marks on his glasses with the glasses cloth he brought with him, wiped his face with the sleeve of his clothes, and looked up at Lin Miaomiao who was standing in front of him.
"Don't forget how children eat. If you haven't been fed, you are not a bride."
"Bah, you were crying just now, and now you are not serious"
Lin Miaomiao pinched Wu Xianyu's nose, wrinkled her own nose, then looked away with a flickering look, and said in a light tone
"It will end tomorrow, and we will have three consecutive days off. We'll talk about it then."
