REMIX

The high school class is held in another large campus. The teacher's office building is separated from the teaching building by a large playground. After the opening ceremony in the afternoon, groups of students in new school uniforms move books from the office building to the classroom.

There are twice as many textbooks in high school as in junior high school. On the way back, Li Qianlan and I consciously shared Qiao Xinxin's books, and she walked behind with schoolbags and drink cups for the two of us.

In the past few years, she has not lost the childish appearance when I first met her, and her figure has gradually acquired the slim lines of a girl. She is still silent and docile, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and a coat that is one size larger hangs over the short skirt , There are calluses on the fingers worn by the guitar strings, and the smoky gray pupils seem to have pigeons flying by, shaking off the light feathers all over the ground.

The atmosphere of the high school campus is obviously different from that of the junior high school. It is more of the smell of hormones that permeates the air and is increasingly full.Everyone is in the active growth period, and the difference in appearance is getting bigger and bigger. The boys are tall and handsome, and the girls start to dress up in the details. The books can't hide the brilliance, and there are also people who are extremely eye-catching in the crowd. looks.

Many high school seniors playing on the playground were looking at Qiao Xinxin. She looped the black headphone cable around the back of her snow-white neck and turned to Li Qianlan and me, "Shall we go eat porridge tonight?"

"Go," Li Qianlan pushed up the stack of crooked books in her hand, "After eating, go to work during the summer break."

"What are your intentions?" I held my hand and could only lift my foot to kick him.

This inconspicuous little action made me almost bump into a girl who was walking diagonally from behind.

Surrounded by joking students, I looked down and saw the bangs on her forehead swaying. I quickly moved a stack of books to my right hand, and gave her a little help with my left hand. "Feel sorry."

She raised her eyes, then returned her gaze to my hand, shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay."

I let her go first, and there were a few girls walking with her beside her, and they were still looking back at me when they went up the stairs.I felt a little ashamed, and didn't dare to act rashly anymore, so I turned my head and mouthed Li Qianlan "fucker".

He laughed endlessly.

Qiao Xinxin reminded us both to be careful with our steps.

Before the two of them went to the bar with me at night, I promised Qiao Xinxin that there would be no bad people this time. She in turn comforted me and said it's okay, and when she saw He Gu, she whispered to me, isn't this the person who sings so beautifully? .

I said it was him, but he doesn't sing anymore.

She also showed that expression of regret and loss, and followed Li Qianlan to see the stage that was only used as decoration at best, and the instruments that glowed with dull light.

He Gu warmly entertained my friends and reserved the quietest place in the corner for them. However, my work could not be delayed. When I went back to the bar to get the number plate and drinks, I told him, did you see my beautiful female classmate? At the time when you were asked to be intercepted by hooligans at your concert, you asked whether you should pay for mental damage.

He Gu didn't change his expression in the face of my blatant extortion, but he still asked the bartender to mix two glasses of almost non-alcoholic coconut milk drinks and sent me to serve them. "Go away, traitor."

When it first fell into the night, there were not many guests, so I had time to sit down and chat with them. When Li Qianlan and I were talking nonsense about the school, Qiao Xinxin was always looking at the musical instrument in the corner.

Before I could guess what she was thinking, she put down her half-drinked drink, brushed her skirt and walked to the bar. Li Qianlan and I watched her tiptoe slightly, holding the bar with both hands and calling Fatty He, then The movements are surprisingly good-looking; when Fatty He turned around, his expression was obviously a little surprised, as if he didn't expect the girl to look for him, and he glanced at us reflexively. Qiao Xinxin didn't know what he said to him, their conversation It lasted for a song before the girl came back slowly and sat down.

She continued to drink the rest of the drink, and said flatly, "I asked if we accept resident singing here."

Then she looked at the dumbfounded faces of me and Li Qianlan, and continued, "He said he could consider it, and let me try the sound sometime."

I couldn't help interrupting her and said, Xinxin, think about it, if your parents find out that you came to the bar to sing, wouldn't you be dead?

Unexpectedly, she showed a barely visible smile and said, if I don't pave the way for myself now, do I have to wait for the future to obey the "best arrangement".

I see what she means.

We all have an almost self-willed attachment to the future. The farther we are, the more we yearn for it. Because the hope is slim, we strive for all possibilities for ourselves. I know what she wants to grasp, and that is what I want—so far I have been moving forward Do what you are looking for.

Li Qianlan looked at the two of us for a long time, sighed compromisingly, leaned back on the sofa, and shouted to He Gu at the bar over Qiao Xinxin's shoulder, boss!Are you short of disc players here?

He Gu was busy at the bar, and didn't know what he had misunderstood this sentence. He shouted from across the mountain and explored the sea, what kind of appointment is it!No date!

I heard from Qiao Xinxin that she and He Gu had an appointment for the audition next weekend, but Li Qianlan and I would accompany her. Anyway, the three of us are used to acting in groups, and without anyone else, we would feel that something is missing.

In the first week of school, let's take a good class.My grades are still the same, I will always be trapped in the middle of the class, and I will not be able to do my homework if I don’t sleep in class. When we meet each other, we only talk nonsense about the food for a while when we eat in the cafeteria at noon, and go back to our respective classrooms to prepare for a nap after hastily eating.

Probably because the life schedule at [-]:[-] and [-]st line is fixed, I often see that girl on the way back to the classroom from the cafeteria at noon, the girl with bangs who was almost bumped into by me on the first day of school.Her class is three classrooms away from mine. We meet in the corridor almost every noon. She likes to lower her head when she walks, and because she is only as high as my shoulders, even if I pass by me, I can’t always get away from her. Saw her face from the front.

But I could feel her looking at me, and the girls who walked with her would make meaningful coughs and whispers mixed with chuckles when they passed me.They confidently thought that they would not be noticed by me, or they wanted me to hear them in a pretentious way.

I decided to pretend I didn't hear it and turned up the volume on my headphones a bit.
