"Xue Rou, what's wrong?"
But seeing Xuerou's expression, it was indifferent, and there was no big ups and downs.
"Easier said than done..."
Xuerou knows very well how difficult it is for a third-rate band like Typhonium to join Red Dragon. Most of the quotas are in the hands of the Black Dragon, followed by the second-ranked Phoenix, and then the elites from all over the country, from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. He was able to participate two years ago because he participated in the Trumpet Youth International Competition. Although Chen Dongsheng also participated, it seems that for Xuerou, he deliberately chose to compete as a British person in the British competition, which is hundreds of times more difficult. Xuerou was lucky enough to be ranked first in the Greater China region.
This year, even if Chen Dongsheng goes to the British regional competition, it is really hard to say whether she can win the championship again. Not to mention Jiang Nanmei from the Black Dragon and the group of ghosts and snakes from the Phoenix. Even her junior student, Ye Siren, feels that It's hard to beat.
"This is also...that guy Ye Siren must have a lot of unique skills hidden away..." Qiu Wensheng said, very worried: "Actually, I have always felt that talents like Ye Siren do not belong here. If it weren't for him With a criminal record, maybe he doesn't even bother to stay in Chen Nanfang to study. If he achieves good results in individual competitions, even if he can't go back to the Black Dragon and is poached from the Phoenix, it won't be a problem."
Speaking of the Phoenix Band of Tangdi Middle School, it is also a band with a very long history. It existed long before the establishment of Unicorn Horse and dominated Asia for many years until Wang Xian’s Black Dragon descended from the sky with the force of a powerful dragon. , crushed the entire momentum and direction of the Silver Band and disrupted the entire Asia.
In order to regain the number one spot, Phoenix also spent a lot of effort.
In fact, two years ago, Lin Xuerou was not the first candidate to be the captain of the Unicorn Band. The real candidate was Xu Jianming, the brother of the Unicorn Xu Xiaoyao and the percussion club two years ago. After he was poached from the Phoenix, he ranked third in the individual competition, second only to Minister Black Dragon. (The first place at that time was the White Swan of the girls' school Zhou Jingfang. The White Swan was a marching band with only the percussion department. ).
Xu Jianming has always been the key training target of the silver band at that time. Then, he spent the most energy, time and resources of the school to train people. Unexpectedly, Jianming had not had time to bring obvious results to Chen Nanfang. He scored close to full marks in the exam. As soon as the news about reaching Royal Level 10 came out, he soon received an admission notice from Tangdi Middle School, asking him to go to Phoenix to become a minister.
Chen Nanfang's students are a little bit ambitious, but they don't want to stay in a third-rate school. Everyone understood Jianming's move. That year, many people failed to pass the high school entrance examination. Those who did get a slightly better grade went to other schools.
Now, only Lin Xuerou, who was also poached by the Black Dragons, remains and lives up to the oath she swore under the team emblem.
Just when Xuerou and Wensheng were chatting, Xiaojing suddenly called: "Sister Xuerou, it's not good, it's not good! Brother Ren... Brother Ren fainted again!"
It was like one wave after another. Lin Xuerou never expected that so many things would happen the day before the competition...
"How is Ye Siren's condition now?"
"My sister is watching her. Please come over quickly and lead our lunch break training!"
After hearing this, Xuerou frowned and looked at Vincent, feeling even more worried.
"Go back, Xuerou, everyone needs you more!"
"but……"
"Don't worry! I will definitely appear on time at the last 600 meters tomorrow!"
"but……"
"Don't worry, I won't keep my promise! Next year or three years, I will definitely go to South Korea with you to see the snow!"
So Xuerou quickly got into the taxi and went back to school.
In the school's medical room, Ye Siren slowly opened his eyes and looked at the clock. It was lunch break and everyone was practicing, only to realize that he had fainted again.
Siren casually ate some instant noodles and went to the music room to pack things. He took out everyone's uniforms and distributed pants, stockings and other supplies according to each person's size.
While I still had some time, I cleaned the cadre room.
At this time, he found a special issue of the International Youth Silver Music Competition on the ground.
The girl in light blue and purple Hanfu on the cover looks very charming while playing under the snow. In fact, he had already met Lin Xuerou two years ago, but at that time, he was still in the second grade of middle school, and his skills were not yet mature. Although he could not win the main selection of the Black Dragon, he still took advantage of his father's ship king's aura and was among the VIP seats. Standing solemnly, under the sound of the red dragon's trumpet, and facing the slowly rising red flag, we sang the national anthem silently.
He used a tissue to carefully wipe off the dust on Xuerou's body on the cover, and couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, he himself had never thought that he could be so close to her.
In just a few weeks, the relationship became as close as that of biological siblings. Especially this week, he and she seemed to have gone through a lot in preparation for the competition.
"Brother Ren! So you're back!" Suddenly Li Xiaojing called him from behind.
He hurriedly closed the yearbook and put it on the table, then turned to talk to her, "Didn't you have dinner with everyone?"
"Eat...eat, but I heard you fainted again, so..." Xiaojing slowly approached and showed Siren her WeChat account.
"You told my senior before that we need some volunteers for the competition. My senior asked me to take charge, and I asked seniors who have many former bands to come over. I have divided them into groups. Do you want to check?"
"No need, I believe you." Siren smiled.
Although Xuerou is indeed lazy when it comes to being a captain, there is no denying that she is more capable than Siren. Everyone also likes her and is happy to follow her arrangements.
She did not do many of the tasks that Zhou Guodong gave her directly. Instead, she redistributed the work on her hands according to her work habits, and then helped her do it well naturally.
But Siren is different. On the surface, everyone is kind to the band, but there are very few that he can actually dispatch and the other party can do it as scheduled, so he still has to do everything himself.
However, I don’t know if it’s Xuerou’s intention or not, but she always arranges a lot of work for Xiaojing. I really don’t know whether she is bullying Xiaojing for being an honest person and using the excuse of training her to become the team leader, or she wants to create more opportunities for her and Siren.
"No! You are the vice-captain, and my senior sister has told me that if she cannot be found, I will ask you to check the results..." Xiaojing said anxiously.
But seeing Siren frowning in displeasure, he sneered impatiently, "I'm not your boyfriend. Checking your WeChat account is so annoying! Even if I'm your boyfriend, I shouldn't be casually checking your WeChat account." Chat history with other people!"
"oh……"
Xiaojing lowered her head in fear and said.
Suddenly, Xiaojing smelled the smell of instant noodles that remained in the music room, and her throat couldn't help but boil. She saw Siren carrying water again and hurried over to help.
"Go away, I don't need your help! The water is heavy!"
When he saw Xiaojing tucking up her sleeves, revealing her fair and strong arms, she said, "No problem!"
As expected, Xiaojing is from the tuba section, but Xiaojing's strength is completely different from that of the weak girls. Siren thought for a while. She seemed to be befriending the female orangutan recently... Could it be that she also wanted to become like the female orangutan?
Suddenly, Xiaojing's eyes flashed, and she fell to the ground with her body and water.
"Are you OK!"
Siren greeted from the side and wanted to help her up, but was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he did not reach out.
"No..." Xiaojing grabbed his pants and stood up reluctantly.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you eat? You don't even have the strength!"
At this time, a rumble of thunder sounded. Xiaojing blushed and looked at Siren in embarrassment, then lowered her head.
"Sorry...I'm sorry...I was too worried about you, so I..."
It turned out that when Siren fainted, Xiaojing had been looking for him, worried about him, and inquired about his whereabouts. I searched the music room, the cadre room, and even a nearby hospital, but Siren's whereabouts could not be found.
Siren was stunned for a moment, stopped what he was doing, sighed in boredom, took out the instant noodles he had hidden in the cadre room, and said to Xiaojing: "What do you want to eat? Seafood or beef. There’s chicken…”
But at this time, Xiaojing did not reply to him.
Siren turned around and saw that she was attracted by the cover of the international competition special book on the table.
...That was the photo taken when Xuerou was in the fourth grade of middle school and went to South Korea to participate in the international competition, and it became the scene of "Snow Fairy".
Seeing that she didn't reply, Siren casually gave her some seafood, poured hot water on it, and covered the instant noodles with special edition.
"Brother Ren..." Xiaojing was surprised by his behavior.
"What are you looking at? No matter how beautiful it is, what does it have to do with us." Then he pointed at the pile of magazines. Some of them had been pressed over instant noodles, and some had a few pages torn out to use as table and cabinet legs.
Xiaojing lowered her head and sat in front of Pao, putting her hands on the table and staring at Xuerou on the cover.
"Actually, the senior sister is quite pretty. If she wasn't too rude, I think there would be many boys who would want to chase her." She sighed.
"When was that photo taken?" she asked.
In fact, what Xiaojing said was somewhat thorny. She had always felt that there was an indescribable ambiguity between Siren and Xuerou. Moreover, since the establishment of Silver Band, Siren and Xuerou had more opportunities to get along with each other in private than anyone else. Thinking of this, Xiaojing would be a little envious.
Siren noticed her little mood, but he didn't show any concern. He still said to Xiaojing with that cold expression without blinking: "No, that is an international competition once a year. Every year 3 ~April, there are competitions in Jeju Island, South Korea. Generally speaking, most of the places for the Chinese team are in the hands of the Black Dragon. Of course, if you win the award like the senior sister, there will also be places. However, If you are like Qiu Wensheng, who is recognized by Schubert as a seed player, you will also have a quota, but the senior has never been there due to physical problems."
"I remember that from March to April this year, you also went there, right? You were trying to be the soloist in front of Gang Nammi! At that time, I really wanted to secretly go with my sister to support you at the scene." Xiaojing said.
"Huh? You didn't go?" Siren remembered that at that time, Mo Yan left a ticket for Xiaojing on the day of the game.
"No... I was still studying and working part-time at Chen Nanfang at that time, so I couldn't ask for leave, so I had to sell my ticket... Even if I had time, my sister was taking Schubert's place to take care of the new Black Dragon newcomers who stayed in Hong Kong. And the reserve team members couldn't help me at all. So in the end I didn't even go to...that competition, was it smooth?"
"Well... that's right!" Siren thought of what happened more than half a year ago, and his heart was full of torment and resentment.
"Then will you go this time as well?"
Siren shook his head: "It's difficult. Let's not talk about whether we can eliminate the senior sister in the individual competition. The competition among national bands, especially in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Macau and Taiwan, is particularly fierce this year. The second-ranked Phoenix also started from A lot of strong people have been recruited from other places. I... I've been very busy at home recently, and I haven't gone to your sister's private training for more than half a year. I'm not sure if I can get a spot outside of the Black Dragon establishment. "
Xiaojing took a bite of the noodles. Although the noodles were fresh and fragrant in her mouth, when Siren said it, the taste suddenly disappeared.
"Since Brother Ren is not sure... then it is even more impossible for me... I thought I could go see the snow with Brother Ren in March next year, so I joined the Unicorn Horse..."
"Xiaojing, haven't you seen it snowing?" Siren asked curiously.
"I don't know if it counts..."
Xiaojing talked about an interesting incident when she was a child.
During the years when she and her sister were adopted by Schubert, Mo Yan went to South Korea every year to compete. Every time he competes, Mo Yan always wants to hide the snow in a glass bottle and send it back to Hong Kong. He wants to show Xiaojing and touch what the snow looks like.
But at that time, express delivery was not developed. When she received the express delivery for the first time, the snow melted. The second time, she was too late to receive the express delivery because of something, and the snow also melted... Until one time, South Korea had a cold weather for the first time. Chain Express. Xiaojing saw and touched snow for the first time.
However, the more she cherished it and the harder she grasped the snow, the faster it melted into water and flowed away between her fingers...
"Although there are very few opportunities on the musical instrument track, as a conductor and guard of honor... it is not impossible." Siren said.
However, Xiaojing shook her head.
