Chapter 5 Swearing-in Ceremony
The scholarship was supposed to be at the end of last semester, but Su Chengyi never went to receive it.
He is not pretending to be arrogant, he has really forgotten about it, and he is indeed not short of money.
In order to compensate him after their divorce, his parents secretly competed with each other and sent money to his bank card every now and then.
He is a high school student living a life of two things and one thing. He really doesn’t know where to spend his money.
There were only two people in the office, Li Lu and him. Su Chengyi stopped when he reached the door and stopped going inside.
Li Lu rummaged through the pile of documents on her desk alone.
“I told you what happened last semester and you didn’t come to collect it. I have a lot of things to do and keep forgetting. Look how long this has been delayed.”
Finally found it. Regarding the relevant documents, Li Lu turned around and found that Su Chengyi was still standing at the door.
“Come in, what are you doing standing there, sign here.”
She tapped her finger on the lower right corner of the document.
Su Chengyi then walked to the desk, leaned over and wrote his name.
Seeing his cautious attitude, Li Lu sighed suddenly, shook her head and said with a smile:
"I have been your class teacher since the first grade of high school. How come I am still here after graduating soon?" Is it like you don’t know me?”
Su Chengyi was stunned as he just finished writing his name and didn’t know how to answer.
"Forget it, forget it."
Li Lu patted him on the shoulder and continued:
"You have good grades and are sensible.
Logically speaking, you He is the kind of child who is least worrying."
She stood up again and poured a glass of water for Su Chengyi.
"But sometimes I just feel that the one I can't let go of the most is you."
Su Chengyi took the water glass, mist rose from the warm boiled water, and he lowered his eyes to hide his complicated thoughts.
"Teacher, thank you."
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Under the warm morning sun, the 100-day swearing-in ceremony for the College Entrance Examination of Tang'an No. 1 Experimental Middle School officially began.
As a well-known city center, the importance of the swearing-in ceremony of No. 1 Middle School is self-evident.
It not only represents the importance that No. 1 Middle School attaches to the college entrance examination, but also leads the trend of other schools in the city.
The VIP seats below the rostrum are occupied by leaders in suits and ties.
The stands were full of parents, most of them holding support banners and flags, ready to wave and cheer for their children.
As usual, the swearing-in ceremony begins with a square formation.
Accompanied by the energetic athletes' march, the neatly arranged blue and white squares appeared in order.
I have long observed that there are photographers holding cameras from all angles to follow and take pictures. Su Chengyi deliberately walked at the back of the team to avoid being on camera.
Unexpectedly, when it was their class's turn, the host on the platform shouted with high spirits and at the highest decibel level:
"The next person coming to us is Class 2, Grade 3!
br>
The average score of Class 2, Grade 3, is very impressive. Two students, Su Chengyi and Chu Qingmian, even ranked first and second in the school!
They bring glory to the school, and we must emulate them! ”
The photographers quickly targeted the two people who were named and praised in the crowd, and took photos wildly.
As the team leader, Chu Qingmian walked at the front of the team, There was no stage fright at all, and he even smiled and made a playful scissor hand gesture to the camera.
Su Chengyi tried hard to maintain an expressionless and cold persona.
In fact, he was already complaining. I want to dig a hole and bury myself
Father Su and Mother Su, who were sitting in the auditorium, were leaning to the left and the other to the right, not wanting to talk to each other at all.
However, as soon as they heard Su Chengyi's name from the host, the two of them quickly joined forces to raise a support banner and cheer for Su Chengyi.
The banner with white characters on a red background reads:
“All your wishes come true, everything goes as you wish.”
“Oh, you are Su Chengyi’s parents, you are so awesome That’s awesome.”
When the parent next to him discovered this, he immediately exclaimed:
"How do you teach this? Hey, let's add a WeChat account and want to ask you about our experience."
" Yes, it’s my son. Oh, hehe, hey, the key is for the child to live up to his expectations.”
Mother Su chatted with the aunt next to her with a smile on her face. Su's father held up his mobile phone to zoom in, trying to take a picture of Su Chengyi in the sea of people.
After the square formation, there was a lengthy speech by the principal and leaders.
Just like reciting a tightening curse, most of the students were a little wilted by the sun.
“Next, let’s invite the outstanding student representative of the senior year—Chu Qingmian!”
This woke up all the drowsy students.
In the hearts of the students of No. 1 Middle School, Chu Qingmian can be said to be the embodiment of beauty and wisdom. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the white moonlight of the entire school.
What's more, she has an easy-going and kind personality and never puts on airs. Quirky and very lovable.
In general, he is a person who likes flowers when he sees them.
This is in sharp contrast to Su Chengyi, an autistic person who never sees the end of a dragon. They are two extremes.
So as soon as she came on stage, the students below felt like they had been injected with chicken blood.
The cheers and applause continued for a long time, among which Xu Yang and his younger brothers shouted the most enthusiastically.
Chu Qingmian introduced herself with a smile:
"Dear leaders, teachers, dear students, good morning everyone.
I am Chu Qingmian from Class 2, Grade 3, and I am honored. Being able to speak on stage as a student representative."
She unfolded the manuscript paper in her hand, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.
The playground with thousands of people was very quiet, waiting for her next step.
But she was frozen in place, as if she was stuck in a shell.
Su Chengyi frowned and looked at the stage, noticing that Chu Qingmian's hands that were holding the manuscript paper were shaking uncontrollably.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat. There was probably something wrong. It wasn't even as simple as forgetting the lyrics.
The scene stagnated for a while, and the people below finally started talking.
"What's going on? Is this a deliberate arrangement by Sister Mian?"
"Why did I forget the lyrics after bringing the manuscript? It's so embarrassing. I was also embarrassed."
"There must be a TV station broadcasting live. This is a performance accident."
The host on one side He anxiously gestured to Chu Qingmian to step down first, but she remained still as if she couldn't see him.
I don’t know why, but Su Chengyi’s heart is beating faster and faster even though she is not at the center of the storm this time.
The noisy human voices were masked by the sound of heartbeats, and the passage of time seemed to slow down.
He saw the worried or gloating expressions of the students around him, and saw Li Lu hurriedly running to make gestures with the host.
Finally, he saw Chu Qingmian standing alone on the stage.
Everyone's gazes gathered like a tide, rushing towards her, trying to engulf her.
Suddenly, Su Chengyi saw his old self again.
He just stood in the shadow, watching the fire from the other side, with an indifferent expression.
The only thing he felt at the moment was that he was glad that it was not him who was standing on the stage.
But will it never be you who stands on the stage?
"Don't interfere, it's none of your business. What you can't do, you can't help her, you can't help anyone."
The self-protection mechanism is constantly issuing warnings, but Su Chengyi I only hear my own voice in my head.
——"Give her a hand, I want to give her a hand."
So the next second, he pushed aside the crowd, threw everyone's surprised gazes behind his head, and rushed to the stage.
When he stood next to her, he realized that Chu Qingmian was not just trembling.
Her eyes were out of focus, and she almost used all her strength to support herself so as not to collapse on the stage.
Looking at the crowd in the audience, Su Chengyi swallowed nervously and said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"Leave it to me."
Then he reached out and took the manuscript paper in her hand.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qingmian looked at him in panic, as if she suddenly woke up from a dream, and begged in a smaller voice:
"...Don't look."
