Lin Xuerou was still very persistent and insisted on putting the thread through the needle.
Looking at the hands that were wrapped in tape and pricked with needles several times, Ye Siren felt very cold and couldn't bear it. A very bitter feeling suddenly came to his heart.
"Senior, don't force yourself!"
Xuerou still ignored it.
"Senior, don't force yourself."
But Xuerou's face seemed to be filled with tears, and inexplicable sadness seemed to seep out of her eyes.
"Senior!"
Siren gently put his hand on hers and said, "No one is perfect. Even if you can't do some things well in your life, it's not shameful."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm not like you, I can't do anything well, I can't do anything." Xuerou pouted, stopped the needle and thread in her hand, and handed it to Siren.
Siren took the needle and thread, took out the needle threader, and demonstrated it to her.
"If you really can't do it, you can still use some tools."
Xuerou looked at this inconspicuous little tool, and it was able to thread the extremely fine needle holes and threads in one go. She felt amazing and felt that her hands had been injured in vain.
After Siren threaded the thread, he took out another needle and thread for Xuerou to try.
"Make a circle here, and then you directly pierce the big hole. When you pull it, the thread will follow the big hole and drill into the small hole." He taught Xuerou step by step.
Xuerou was still reluctant at first, thinking in her heart: Why do you teach me things when you are two years younger?
But it is very contradictory to think that this junior, who is two years younger, will be one of the biggest obstacles for her to obtain a place in the international competition this year.
"Look, how easy it is!" Siren said, patted her shoulder and said, "Great, I thought I would have to work all night alone tonight, but fortunately I have you to accompany me."
Xuerou subconsciously squinted at Siren's hand.
Oops……
Every time I have some physical contact with this female orangutan, it will not end well...
Siren thought to himself, feeling cold.
But Xuerou was not what he expected. She gave him a hot prison back throw, a death scissor kick, and a grappling hand...
He just looked at him lightly and then turned his head.
Siren wiped away the cold sweat and went back to work.
Time flies by, minute by minute.
At school in the evening, the central air conditioner has been turned off. It was the end of summer, and the entire music room was very stuffy.
It was heard that a typhoon was going to blow tonight. When Mo Yan announced the disbandment, everyone had already left in a panic.
The wind had a great impact on the entire parade, and the music was not carried far in the middle. Holding the instrument and being caught in the rain would also make the entire journey difficult to walk.
Xuerou looked at the storm outside the window and felt a little worried, and said, "Ye Siren, please go home quickly. The wind seems to be getting stronger and stronger."
"No, I'm not in a hurry." The moment Siren Ying stayed in Tian, he was already preparing to spend the night in the music room.
It wasn't the first time he spent the night at school either.
As early as the student union elections before the start of school, he often worked late at night on the election matters, and then simply stayed at school overnight.
"You are the one. You are a girl. If you don't go back so late, won't your family be worried?"
"They..." When it came to her family, Xuerou was confused and didn't know what to say.
Should he just say that he was kicked out of the house by his parents two years ago and has not contacted them for a long time?
Of course it was impossible. Even Qiu Wensheng, a friend she had known for six years, she was unwilling to tell. Even Lun Jingqing, who had the best relationship with her, did not know that she would never be honest with him!
But before she could come up with an explanation...
"Oh, I'm such a fool... Your dad is Schubert. There are state banquets tonight and tomorrow night. He seems to be going to conduct the Hong Kong Philharmonic. It's impossible to get home before 1 or 2 o'clock... How can I have free time? I care about you." Siren said to himself.
"Yeah, yeah." Xuerou nodded quickly, feeling saved.
However, the pressure came again, Siren's side.
"What about your family?"
"My mother ran away with someone else a long time ago, and my father usually ignores me." Sirenzhi said calmly, because the news about his mother had been reported a few years ago.
After the shipping king Ye Jingtian became single again, he celebrated for three days and three nights, and became the number one among the diamond kings and queens in Hong Kong.
"sorry……."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all over."
"It's all my dad's fault. When he was young and went to sea, he was away from home for eleven months of the year. As you know, when I went to the high seas more than ten years ago, there was no internet, no messaging, and no long-distance satellite phone calls.
Sometimes, my dad would go to war-torn countries to make a few extra bucks.
On several occasions, the news reported that his ship had been sunk. My family organized several funerals for him, and he came back safe and sound a few days later! "
"Then your dad is quite amazing." Xuerou couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the story of the Legend of Ship King.
"So...the injuries on your body..."
"I got it all when my dad went to sea!"
Xuerou envies Ye Siren for traveling around the world and having adventures with his father when he was very young. It turns out that every scar on his body is one scene after another of thrilling and thrilling journeys.
On the contrary, when Schubert first met her mother, she had no money at all, and she was constantly traveling to make a living, so there was basically no opportunity to take her family to play. Not to mention Australia, even Cheung Chau and Xuerou have never been there.
The last time she went abroad was two years ago, when she participated in an international competition with the national team Chilong.
The two of them were working and chatting at the same time. The originally dull, single, and repetitive work became no longer so boring.
"It turns out that your father is not only a shipping king, but also a versatile adventurer. As expected of the shipping king's son, you are also versatile, and you are better than me at everything..." Xuerou said.
"No...to be honest, I would rather stay in one or two places like you and concentrate on doing one thing well." Siren said, his tone suddenly became serious.
"If you say you are envious, I envy you!" Siren cut off the buttons on a certain uniform and put them away, then picked up a unicorn button and played with it a few times in his hands before continuing to sew. Go down.
"How to say?"
"My dad said that if you want to be an excellent captain, you must be better than other crew members in every aspect, from talking about business to catching mice, and only then will others believe you. I have always followed my dad's direction. , but I always feel that everyone is still not obedient to me... Senior sister is very different... You are obviously inferior to me in music, but everyone is willing to listen to you."
"That's because of this place." Xuerou said, pointing to her chest.
"What does this have to do with big breasts?" Siren frowned.
Xuerou listened and patted him angrily. Soon, five slender fingers were clearly printed on his face.
She blushed and shouted: "It's the heart! It's the heart! Damn monkey, stinky and immoral!"
"Hahaha!" Although Siren's face was painfully beaten and his head was knocked off his head, at this moment, he felt an inexplicable soreness. He loosened his bones and after a few "cluck!" Smirk.
"You have to think from the perspective of others, and don't always think about yourself. Yes, you are very capable. You can do all the departments in the Silver Band, but no matter how capable you are, you are always just one person. We are a team. For example, today, if you want to stay for final inspection and mending clothes, you may tell me or everyone in the group not to carry it alone," Xuerou said.
"What about you? Then you didn't tell me either..."
"I……"
When Siren said this, Xuerou blushed in embarrassment, lowered her head, looked at the buttons of the unicorn in her hand, and said slowly: "Because I once swore in front of the unicorn."
"But, you also know that Vice-College Chen said that if we can't hand in a good result in the National Day competition, then the Unicorn Horse will..."
"Fool, the game hasn't even started yet, and you think we're going to lose?" Xuerou said disdainfully.
But Siren said in a low, melancholy and despondent tone: "With our current training results, if we can barely complete the entire performance tomorrow, we will be thankful. Let alone compare it to other bands..."
Siren has been assisting Coach Li in rehearsing, and he knows the current level of the horse.
A month ago, he was just an outsider. Whether the Unicorn was alive or dead, what did it have to do with him? But a month later, as the vice-captain, he once again faced the prospect of the band disbanding, and his mind had changed 180 degrees.
"Ye Siren, raise your head and look at me!" Xuerou put her hand on his shoulder,
"Senior...I..."
Siren clenched his fists, tears dripping uncontrollably from his eyes to the buttoned horned horse, to someone's uniform in his hand, and to his own pants.
Siren almost never shed tears under his father's strict requirements.
No matter what happens to him, no matter how difficult it is, he will endure it.
The humiliation he suffered in Wang Xian was like this, he was like this when his parents divorced, he was almost saved by himself, and when the orca was eaten as a snack, he did not shed any tears, but...
He was also really unwilling and unwilling. Even at a very early age, he had learned to be like Mo Yan now, and belittle the actual performance of the band, but focus more on whether it has improved...
However, now that things have happened, he has to admit that the results of this Unicorn Horse competition may be a little better than last year's, but... it is definitely not worthy of winning a prize.
He has tried his best, but fate seems to have played a big, big joke.
"The moment you decide to become the greatest musician in the world, you have lost the qualification to be a musician..."
He suddenly remembered what Schubert said to him when he was in the hospital...
The master is really the master...it is really a sign of success.
Maybe the thing he values most in his life will be gone forever after tomorrow...
but. . .
Why, why, her eyes are still as bright and dark as they were three weeks ago, firm and unyielding, why?
Just like the girl riding the unicorn in the fairy tale.
In order to protect everyone's happiness and to make everyone obtain eternal happiness, she keeps traveling through time and space and reversing the future again and again.
But... this is the real world, not those childish, absurd fairy tales. The real world has never been, is not now, will not be in the future, and will never be as simple and beautiful as fairy tales.
There is no unicorn, and there is no so-called chance to travel again after failure and try again.
But she...why is she still so determined?
"Are you really that worried?"
Xuerou said, it was just like that day when the two made an oath under the Unicorn.
"If we lose after exhausting all our strength, there is nothing to be embarrassed or regretful about. But the game has not started yet. Don't you and everyone still have the strength to continue the game? Then use up your strength first. All your strength, no matter how happy you are, lose without regrets! If you don’t do this, you will definitely not be able to have a happy and beautiful ending! Until the end, until the end, you must fight with all your strength, this is Real devotion to the end!"
