Flight of the Bumblebee

Shi Leping frowned, but he was actually thinking about his last question seriously.

Seeing the hurt expression on Wang Sheng's face, he hesitated to answer his question: "Maybe...our personalities don't match?"

Wang Sheng's expression obviously didn't accept his answer, he said "huh--?"

Shi Leping said, don't look at me like that, I thought you were with those people.

Wang Sheng asked him who he was puzzled, but he vaguely had the answer in his heart.

Shi Leping said that the people you usually associate with are all those who failed the college exams and left behind to give up on themselves. There are all kinds of people who come here with family money to go to school, but do some shady business behind their backs. I think You are the same as them.

Wang Sheng followed him out of the lawn and walked under the tree-lined road. He asked curiously, "What business are you talking about?"

"They didn't sell you something?"

Wang Sheng searched his head for a while, recalling that those so-called "kind-hearted" seniors did ask him to use money to buy a few packs of things wrapped in kraft paper, but he couldn't recognize what they were. Forget it.If the police searched his dormitory now, they would definitely find something that would allow him to go to a youth education center for re-education.Wang Sheng broke out in a cold sweat. He had bought quite a few in his memory, and this was no joke.

Seeing him frightened like this, Shi Leping understood that the person in front of him was not what he imagined, so he said with a smile: "You don't have to be so frightened, go back and flush those things into the toilet, no one can catch them." It's up to you. But let me explain first, if you are found out at school, you will be expelled from school, so you should think clearly."

Wang Sheng kept nodding his head: "Think clearly, I will run far away when I see them in the future!" Then he asked again: "Can I hang out with you in the future?"

Shi Leping said, "What are you doing with me?"

Wang Sheng said pitifully: "I don't have any friends here. You are Chinese and you can speak Mandarin. Let's be friends!"

Shi Leping said: "I am not Chinese."

Wang Sheng blurted out: "Liar! Are you Japanese? Isn't your father's surname Shi?!"

"I was born in Germany, my father is Chinese, but he has changed his nationality."

"Have you never been to China? Why is Mandarin so good?" Facing this person, Wang Sheng had a lot of questions in his mind.

"My dad said that no matter where we go, we must not forget our roots, so since we were young, we only communicate in Chinese when we are at home."

"Teacher Shi is so wise! The Chinese are proud!" Even if the teacher who controls his life and death is not there, Wang Sheng still flatters him, who knows that the teacher's son is in front of him.

Wang Sheng asked him where his ancestral home was, and Shi Leping said that his father seemed to have told him that he was from Huaihua, Hunan.He asked Wang Sheng if he knew where Huaihua was.

Wang Sheng excitedly told him that it was a coincidence that last year he went to Sichuan with his family, but it was Jiuzhaigou.Shi Leping asked him suspiciously if these two places were the same place, and Wang Sheng happily said no, but the plane must have passed through Hunan in the sky, so it was considered to have been to his hometown.Shi Leping said embarrassingly, was there such a calculation, and Wang Sheng asked him if he had never returned to China with his father when he grew up?Shi Leping said that he went back about two years ago to attend the funeral of his father's friend.Wang Sheng counted the time in his mind, and then said in shock, "That was the period of SARS, how dare you come back?"

"When I went there, the epidemic was basically under control," he said. "Both parents died, and there was only one little girl left. My dad told me to bring her back and raise her, so he let me go there together."

"Didn't you drop by your hometown in Hunan?"

"No, there is no one in my hometown. My dad said it."

They chatted enthusiastically while walking, and Wang Sheng couldn't help but fell silent when they talked about such heavy topics.He remembered that during that time, his family went abroad to seek refuge, and when the whole country was united to fight against SARS, he, a person on the other side of the earth, didn't have much memory about it.

But soon his curiosity gained the upper hand again, and he asked again after walking two steps: "Then do you remember which city you went to? Maybe I have been there too."

Shi Leping said that he couldn't remember clearly, but only remembered that his father's friends were all teachers of S University.

"S University?!" Wang Sheng almost shouted, "That's S City!"

Shi Leping felt familiar when he heard the name of the city, and he replied uncertainly: "It's probably called this name."

"Isn't that in my house?" This was the first time in his life, and Wang Sheng finally tasted the feeling of fate falling from the sky. He was so happy that he kept saying that he came from that city, maybe in He passed by Shi Leping on the street, and asked him if he had passed by a certain street in a certain district. He had a home there, and there was also a certain street in a certain district. Maybe Shi Leping passed by.

Shi Leping was incredulous about his unusual enthusiasm, and didn't understand what he was happy about alone, just because he had been to his city?Possibly by the street where his house is?The new classmate Wang Sheng, whom he met formally for the first time today, was almost incomprehensible to him.

Wang Sheng didn't know why he was so excited, he attributed all the reasons to the melting of the iceberg, and the warm river finally flowed to his side.Xerox Plain was not hateful, he could laugh, the expression on his face was richer than he imagined, and he could make people laugh when he spoke.Wang Sheng even regretted it a little, why didn't he approach him earlier?What a worthy person to associate with, with him here, where else do you need to go to find someone to have fun with?

That afternoon, the sun was so bright that it was not like afternoon. If it hadn’t been for the westward slant, Wang Sheng would have thought it was the morning sun hanging in the forest.

Their bond was forged that day.

Later, Wang Sheng listened to Shi Leping's advice and stayed away from those "good classmates and good seniors" who stared at his wallet all day long and offered their attention to nothing, and followed Shi Leping obediently as a diligent and studious good student.The first school year was passed smoothly, without failing a class or repeating a grade. For him who only worked hard in the second half of the year, it was considered safe and sound.

The first time I saw Xiaoxiao was also one afternoon on a certain day.He made an appointment with Shi Leping to practice piano in a certain classroom, but he never came when the time came, so he had to go to Teacher Shi's exclusive music room where Shi Leping might be.Before I reached the door, I heard the fierce collision of two violins in the corridor.Affected by the atmosphere of the battle, he couldn't help but feel agitated. Just as he was about to open the door to find out, the sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and a little girl about half a person's height came out from the door, about eleven or twelve years old, holding a Holding an old but well-maintained violin, he left without even looking at him.

Wang Sheng frowned and looked at the back of Xiaoxiao leaving, then turned his head and asked Shi Leping who was facing away from him at the long white table in the music room: "Who is she? How did she come in? Can't skip a grade?"

Shi Leping carried the piano case on half of his shoulders, turned to him and said, "The one who just went out is the little girl I mentioned to you last time. The little girl my father brought back from China is considered an adopted daughter and also a disciple."

Wang Sheng looked at the corridor, the direction where the figure disappeared, and nodded thoughtfully.He is familiar with the sound of Xeroxing's piano, and Xeroxing was slightly at a disadvantage in the battle just now, so it's better not to speak easily and touch his brow.Originally, Wang Sheng thought so, but unexpectedly, Shi Leping brought it up first. He walked over, patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, and asked him, "Did you hear anything?" Meaning that the memory has been completely emptied, Shi Leping was about to say that he hadn't heard anything, but Shi Leping said very relaxedly: "My little junior sister is not bad!"

"It's pretty good." Wang Sheng had no choice but to follow his wishes and said honestly.

"She's a genius." When Shi Leping said this, there was a flash of unwillingness to be seen by Wang Sheng on his face. He could only comfort him like this: "Don't think so much, there is a place where geniuses exist. There must be a place for people like us nearby, so don’t be sad.”

Shi Leping glared at him: "You are not comforting at all!"

"I'm clearly comforting you!" Wang Sheng said with a playful smile.

"Forget it." Shi Leping waved to him and walked forward on his own.

Wang Sheng ran ahead of him with the violin on his back, walked back towards him, and asked him if he wanted to go to a good place.Shi Leping said that there is no good place for you to take me to. Don't forget that I have lived in this city for more than ten years, and there is no good place that I have not been to.Wang Sheng said this is not necessarily the case, you come with me.As he spoke, he was about to hold his hand and run along the long corridor, but Shi Leping refused to leave, like a husky who was unwilling to go for a walk, dragging the rein and standing there, refusing to move, and dragged Wang Sheng after him. return.He begged: "I'm tired today, and I don't want to go anywhere, so please let me go."

Wang Sheng begged him in turn: "Just this time, you take me there. I've been here for a year, and you haven't taken me out for a stroll except for school."

Shi Leping had no choice but to ask him, "Where do you want to go?"

Wang Sheng said let's take the subway to the city!Shi Leping said, "It's full of tourists there, why are you going to join in the fun? Besides, didn't you say that you visited all the scenic spots in Vienna with your family before? The most I can accompany you today is to practice the piano, I don't want to go out."

Wang Sheng said anxiously: "You are always perfunctory to me. Last time we made an appointment to climb the Alps, you didn't go either!"

When he heard that he took out the fact that he didn't count, Shi Leping finally compromised.He has lived in this city for more than ten years, so there is nothing new about him. Even if the Vienna government digs out the entire Schönbrunn Palace and its foundation tomorrow and moves it to their school lawn, he will only be indifferent. With an "oh", I didn't feel anything at all.

After Wang Sheng has been here for a year, his enthusiasm for the whole city has not faded in the slightest, which is what surprised him.

When going out, Shi Leping reminded Wang Sheng to put the violin back in the dormitory. After all, his violin is different from others. Wearing it on his back is as eye-catching as wearing a diamond the size of a thumb around his neck. The Guarneri violin should be locked in the in the safe instead of running around the streets with it on your back.Wang Sheng didn't care much about this kind of thing. He said that many people had asked him about this violin, but he was fooled by saying that it was a replica. Who would covet a modern counterfeit violin?

Shi Leping said earnestly: "This is not a counterfeit product. My dad may not have one. You should keep a low profile in the future, buy one like me, and act like a poor student. You will be safer when you are abroad alone. Don't worry." Let your parents worry."

Hearing Shi Leping's concern, he accepted the advice with joy, but he still didn't plan to lock it in the safe today. He smiled and said to Shi Leping: "Then I will finish the final farewell performance today, and I will turn around Then pack it up and send it home, let my parents keep it for me, and when I become a great musician in the future, I will get it back, okay?"

"When you really become a great musician, then ask me if I'm okay!" Seeing his happy look, Shi Leping said helplessly.
