As he spoke, he waved to Hai Guofu. The boy quickly opened the guitar bag on his back and took out a brand new red cotton guitar and handed it over.
Lin Yue took it in his hand, fine-tuned the knob on the head of the piano, and plucked the strings.
Ding~
"I can't live without you in my dreams, even if the night never comes again."
"I can't live without you in my heart, even if my heart is broken."
He did not continue playing because several female students passing by had noticed the movement and pointed at him.
Wang Yang finally knew why Liang Qin was obsessed with him. Meng Xiaojun, in his mind, was all about being a great man, making a name for himself, changing the world, and focusing on study and career, so he didn't have much time and energy to follow her. My girlfriend and I talk to each other and talk to each other. The relationship between the two is a bit like a couple who have been married for many years. As for Lin Yue, God knows how many faces this freak has. He can discuss history and politics with an old scholar seriously, and he can also be affectionate. She plays the piano and sings gracefully, and can also tell naughty jokes...if she wasn't dressed so shabby and shabby, she would be an out-and-out girl killer.
At this time, Hai Guofu took out a pile of change and handed it to him: "Here, the change is four yuan and eighty-two cents."
Lin Yue took the money in his hand and put the guitar back into his guitar bag.
"Why did you buy this?" Wang Yang couldn't figure it out. Since Lin Yue can play the piano, it makes sense that he can also play guitar, but why did he only think of buying this in the past year.
Lin Yue said: "You will know in a few days."
"That's what bothers you. You don't talk to anyone every day."
Wang Yang had a look of disgust on his face. He felt that communicating with him was too strenuous. It was so exciting every day that he wanted to break his legs sometimes.
…
In early July, four full years have passed since the college entrance examination was resumed in 1976. The first batch of students ushered in the highlight moment of graduation. The school leaders attached great importance to this day. After the graduation ceremony during the day, the graduation ceremony was held at 8 pm in the school auditorium. The graduation party was held, and the participants were not only graduates from various departments, but also freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. As a freshman majoring in law, Su Mei naturally would not miss this grand ceremony.
She never thought that the day Lin Yue said goodbye to her, the goodbye really came, and it came so quickly and in such a unique way - different from the normal goodbye, he was on the stage, she was off the stage, he was Actor, she is the audience.
Su Mei is here, and Liangqin is naturally there too.
He is sitting in the fifth row from the bottom of the auditorium. On his left is his female classmate Hao Jing, who is also majoring in the same major. On his right is his boyfriend Meng Xiaojun.
Listening to the voice coming from the left, "Hey, look, it's Lin Yue and Wang Yang. In addition to being good at studying, can he also play the guitar?" She slowly clenched her hands on her knees and looked at Meng Xiaojun after she finished. Looking at the side of his face, he found that he was surprised. He didn't seem to expect that Lin Yue would come on stage to sing, and even the country bumpkin Wang Yang and Cheng Dongqing got involved.
On the other side, Lin Yue walked to the front of the stage holding his guitar. The staff backstage brought a stool, helped them adjust the microphone to the appropriate height, whispered a few words of caution, and turned to leave.
Lin Yue patted the back of the guitar, leaned toward the microphone and said, "I'm Lin Yue from the Department of Foreign Languages, and I'm an old acquaintance with everyone. Well, I'm the one who was criticized by the radio station two days ago."
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and even the leaders sitting in the front row couldn't help but smile.
"As usual, I would like to congratulate all the senior brothers and sisters on your successful graduation, and sincerely wish you all the best in your future work and life. Next, as an English major in the Department of Foreign Languages, I will bring you an English song today. I hope you will To be able to like.”
Upon hearing that he was going to sing an English song, there was a burst of whispers in the audience.
In this era, there were not many party programs, just dances, songs, Peking opera, cross talk and so on. Songs, either main melody songs or works by Hong Kong and Taiwan stars such as Teresa Teng and Lin Zixiang. Although there are many foreign language song tapes for sale in department stores, few can understand them and even fewer can sing them. Nowadays, It was really unique to have a freshman majoring in English perform English songs live.
Lin Yue didn't pay attention to the reaction of the audience below. He coughed slightly and nodded to the left and right. Wang Yang, Hai Guofu, and Cheng Dongqing began to applaud rhythmically.
Pa~pa~pa~pa~
Oh...~
Oh oh oh~
Oh oh oh~
Oh...~
Oh oh oh~
Oh oh oh~
Together with the chorus, the sense of rhythm suddenly picks up.
"Be-Be careful making wishes in the dark, dark."
"Can't be sure when they've hit their mark."
"And besides in the mean, mean time I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart."
"I'm in the deep details with the devil."
"..."
A slightly hoarse roar echoed in the auditorium, and the penetrating power of the high notes hit the eardrums in waves. Whether it was a trendy man or woman wearing a good-looking shirt, bell-bottom pants, or sneakers, or a poor student in a navy shirt, military trousers, or old cloth shoes, Or maybe the school leaders in Mao suits were all dumbfounded.
In 1981, where were the people who played rock music in the early Chinese-speaking circles?
Huang Jiaju has not yet formed a band, Cui Jian is playing the trumpet, Dou Weigang has just entered junior high school, and is still wearing new crotchless pants. English songs like this with a strong sense of rhythm and a strong R&B style have directly subverted many people's perception of music.
The leaders said, “What the hell is this?”
The students talked about "the bunker."
The two male students backstage who won applause from the audience for their mechanical dance forgot to take off their pants. They were nodding their heads and couldn't stop at all.
Three minutes later.
Lin Yue made a stroke with his hand and pressed down on the string board, and the sound of music was silenced.
After several seconds of silence, a sea of applause and whistles erupted from the audience. Many people stood up and screamed "One more song." This caused the leaders in front to turn around and glare. The arrogant guy sat back in his seat.
Meng Xiaojun looked at the four guys bowing and leaving on the stage, and his inner reluctance was rolling. He knew that Lin Yue played the piano well, but he didn't expect that he could also sing very well. More importantly, Lin Yue sang an English song. , the smoothness and mellowness of the process illustrates from the side how well this guy has learned English and how abnormal his spoken English is.
After a brief moment of surprise, he turned his face to one side and found that Liangqin was not in the stands, with his head lowered and not knowing what to think.
Su Mei also had a similar expression. The boy next to her stood up and applauded very loudly. She did not move. She sat in a daze, watching, thinking about the conversation between the two people last time they met, and asking herself over and over again, Did he consider her a friend or not? What is his relationship with that girl named Liangqin?
This was the first time that she had the urge to get to know a boy, the kind that involved his emotional life.
When she came to her senses, she blamed herself for being too nosy.
…
The graduation party ended successfully, and Lin Yue became a celebrity. Although he had already been a celebrity, unlike the last time he was notorious, this time he was famous, at least to most students. But when it comes to the award for the most popular program at the party, of course it is impossible to award it to him. Unsurprisingly, it was taken away by the group of seniors who graduated this year, even though this scene made many junior students super dissatisfied.
The day after the party, Cheng Dongqing went to the balcony to practice speaking quietly in order not to disturb his roommates. When he was resting after reading a passage, he saw a girl nearly 1.8 meters tall on the road in front of the dormitory building. Walking back and forth, it seemed that it was Su Mei who had met once before.
Cheng Dongqing couldn't understand why she came to the boys' dormitory so late.
He turned his face and glanced at the empty lower bunk in the dormitory. When he turned back, he found that Su Mei had gone.
On the third day after the party, two senior students who played music came to see Lin Yue. Unfortunately, they were in vain. Cheng Dongqing told them that Lin Yue got on the train back to Shanxi the day after the party.
Yes, with the arrival of graduation season, summer vacation life begins.
…
September 1981.
This historic institution sent away its first batch of students after the college entrance examination was resumed two months ago, and now it welcomes many new faces.
Wang Yang was busy falling in love with LUCY; Meng Xiaojun dragged Cheng Dongqing's strong young man to the school gate to welcome the newcomers; after rejecting several waves of students who came to be apprentices or invited to join the gang, Lin Yue finally got some free time to review the previous experience. Guofu secretly slipped him a letter, or a love letter.
The handwriting is pretty good-looking, but I don’t know whether it’s because of nervousness or fear of rejection. There are a few places where the writing force changes greatly, which affects the overall aesthetics. More importantly, there is no signature at the end.
Isn’t this written in vain?
He shook his head helplessly and suddenly heard a shout coming from the corridor: "Lin Yue, Lin Yue, there is someone looking for you downstairs."
Is anyone looking for it?
Could it be that the girl who fell in love with him because of a song wanted to confess her love?
He didn't go downstairs immediately, but ran to the balcony and looked outside. He couldn't help but be stunned. There was a person standing under the ginkgo tree diagonally opposite the dormitory building, a person who surprised him very much.
