Chapter 12 twelve

"When you enter the role, you must forget yourself!" When Xiao Tong had to experience this sentence repeatedly, he was already tired of his role. These nights, he was forced by Lu Lindong to take two recitation training classes in a row, but he still didn't understand how to recite the speech more sonorously and with cadence according to the recitation teacher's request.The speech had already been written full of impassioned speech, and he chanted it three times, and then recited it so hoarsely, in Xiao Tong's opinion, it was too lyrical.However, the expert that Lu Lindong invited from nowhere was still not satisfied, and kept inspiring him to "forget himself and enter the role", which made Xiao Tong's "self-forgetfulness" unknowingly reached a level of madness.No wonder students passing by the classroom often put a frightened face in through the door to see if someone is sick here!

The title of his speech was: "Motherland, My Mother".The manuscript was written by Lu Lindong, and after seven revisions and eight revisions by other teachers in the department, it finally became almost a series of permutations and combinations of political slogans and emotional rhetoric.Xiao Tong always thinks, if someone really feels so disgusting about his mother, the mother will definitely feel that you don't love her. In order to increase his enthusiasm, Lu Lindong always guides him to learn obedience with graduation assignments and joining the party.To be honest, Xiao Tong didn't want to stay in school after graduation or be assigned to some popular unit, and he was not in a hurry to join the party.He is going to Germany after graduation. If he is a member of the Communist Party, it may not be convenient for him to get a visa.He was hoarse here for two days in a row, mainly because he didn't want to spoil everyone's interest.The department admired him so much, had such high hopes for him to be a hit, and Lu Lindong ran forward and back, and stayed close to each other in every rehearsal, which touched him.The attention he received from various aspects because he represented the department in the competition also inspired his sense of collective honor virtually.He must do his best to live up to the painstaking efforts of the leaders and teachers.

So he was obedient and hardworking, even when he was alone in the dormitory, reciting the lyrics under his throat, he was full of expression and devoted himself.The students around him all said that he was contrived, but the recitation teacher said: You just need to stand on the stage, you will be under one person and above ten thousand people, and you will never exaggerate! So in the winding woods, on the deserted playground, and by the lake where the sun sets, his meticulous recitation always sounded intermittently: "Each of us loves our mother. It is the mother who gives us life. Nurturing and warmth. Each of us has a common mother, which is our motherland. Our motherland has a long history, splendid culture, magnificent It is one of the earliest countries with developed civilization in the world... However, there is no nation in the world that is full of disasters, ups and downs, crises and bad luck in the long course of existence like our Chinese nation. Responsibility." It has become a character inheritance that we Chinese have passed down from generation to generation. There are thousands of heroes in the past five thousand years, and the strong man always has the desire to serve the country! the eternal spirit of the descendants of

Just like chanting scriptures can also cultivate the soul, after reciting for a long time, his love and admiration for the motherland has really become devout.In addition to practicing recitation, he also has to deal with exams, and his time is full every day.On Saturday night, Wen Yan came to his house to look for him, and seeing him leaning over his desk with his shirtless arms and books spread out in front of him, the expression on his face was immediately relieved, and she immediately helped him cook a meal without saying a word.After the meal, he said, I can't read books when you are here, and Wen Yan left immediately and willingly.

Except for reading, reciting words, and rehearsing, he didn't even play football after class, and spent the rest of his time learning how to drive.He clearly knew that getting along with a girl like Ouyang Lanlan was like sticking flour with wet hands, and he would never be able to shake it off in the future.But he still often stands at the school gate at dusk, waiting for the dark green "BMW" 740 to pick him up. Ouyang Lanlan is a very competent coach, patient and strict.Each course is arranged from dusk to ten o'clock in the evening, and he can drive for three hours in an open space in the suburbs without putting it down.Lan Lan said, you shouldn't use "BMW" when learning to drive, "BMW" is too easy to drive.If you are used to driving a good car and only know about continuously variable transmission, you will not be able to drive a bad car.So sometimes she also drives a Santana with manual gear to let Xiao Tong feel how difficult it is to adapt to a low quality of material life once it is high.

Ouyang Lanlan's scheming is like her driving a car, she is extraordinarily sophisticated.She carefully arranged several romantic dinners for them to deepen Xiao Tong's memory of a kind of warmth.She even couldn't wait to arrange Xiaotong's "encounter" with her father, so that he would enter her life and family without knowing it. Xiao Tong learned to drive with her and went out for dinner together.But for dinner, he insisted on the principle of AA system based on each meal: if the last meal was treated by Ouyang Lanlan, then he must pay for the next meal.He didn't want to give people the feeling of taking advantage of the rich.

No matter how busy he was, he was still thinking about Ou Qingchun these days.He has called Ou Qingchun's BP machine countless times, but the answer is always "the other party is not turned on".This was the first time in his not-so-long experience with women that he felt defeated and hopeless.Like Wen Yan, he often unconsciously vents his frustration and anger on Ouyang Lanlan.Fortunately, no matter how Ouyang Lanlan couldn't stand it, she would still drive the car the next day and wait for him at the school gate. Ouyang Lanlan bought him a Pierre Cardin shirt, but he didn't want it.He said the shirt was worn with a suit and I didn't have a suit.As a result, Ouyang Lanlan bought him another suit of the same brand the next day.He still pushed back, saying what kind of suit one of my students was wearing, which made people laugh.Ouyang Lanlan glared at him angrily, and said tremblingly: "Xiao Tong, people say that a teacher for one day is a parent for life, anyway, I have taught you how to drive for so long, so you can't talk to me!"

The two immediately quarreled, and Xiao Tong said, "You forced me to learn. If you don't teach me, I'll spend thousands of dollars to find a driving school with hourly lessons. They are regular instructors, and they are always on call!" Ouyang Lanlan angrily swung her arms to slap him, but he grabbed her, and the two of them wrestled in the car like this.In the end, Ouyang Lanlan shook off his hand, and said with red eyes: "Xiao Tong, if I teach you in such a low voice, do you think it saves you thousands of dollars? You just want to save those thousands of dollars. Shall I teach you?"

This was the first time Xiao Tong saw Ouyang Lanlan crying.He softened his heart and wanted to persuade her, but he couldn't soften his face.He opened the car door, without looking at her, and said, "Forget that I bullied you, you can stop teaching me, and I owe you." He slammed the car door shut and walked into the school.He didn't even look back to see if the "BMW" was parked where it was or had already driven away. He didn't want Ouyang Lanlan to notice that he was soft-hearted. But at dusk the next day, when he intentionally walked out of the school gate, he saw Ouyang Lanlan's car parked there again as expected.Knowing that she was looking at him in the mirror, he walked over pretending to be careless, opened the door, and got into the car.Ouyang Lanlan smiled at him, and he smiled too. No one mentioned the quarrel yesterday.

Sometimes he comforted himself that he and Ouyang Lanlan had talked beforehand, and he and she were just ordinary friends.Whether it's learning to drive or sending clothes, she deserves to be willing.He doesn't have to bear anything for it.But sometimes he thinks that there is no friendship between men and women.It's either love or nothing.Although the "rules of the game" have been agreed upon between them, they should still pay attention to the distance.At least make the distance clear.It's the same with Wenyan, she should have made it clear earlier.It is impossible to be together forever, so we must speak clearly.If you still want to hang out, you can hang out as ordinary friends, and if you don't want to, just drop it!

There were usually no classes on Friday afternoons, so he finally couldn't bear to find her unit according to the address Qingchun had given him before.He clearly remembered that she had promised to go to work to find her if something happened.So he made up a reason and went.But the reception room didn't let him in.They asked him who she was, and he said he was her brother.They said they had never heard that Ou Qingchun had a younger brother.He said he was a cousin.They said that Ou Qingchun was gone and she was on a business trip.He asked when he left, they said he left early, he asked when he would come back, they said he would not come back He didn't see anyone, but his self-confidence returned to its previous state.It turned out that she was on a business trip, no wonder it was always "the other party has shut down". He became very happy again in those few days, and he often couldn't help reciting aloud in the dormitory: "Five thousand years, there are thousands of heroes, and the strong man always has the desire to serve the country! Also! It is the eternal spirit of every descendant of the dragon!" These impassioned passages matched his mood, and they were recited emotionally and emotionally.Some students asked suspiciously: "Xiao Tong, do you have a rich girl?" He was stunned, "A rich girl?" It's a big deal." He admits the "capability" mentioned by his classmate, as long as he is serious, there is no girl who will not love him! The day he expected came sooner than expected.On a hot afternoon, when he was in class, the BP machine at his waist suddenly vibrated, and someone called a line on it: "Ms. Ou, please wait at the school gate at seven o'clock in the evening." He didn't pay attention at the time, thinking that Ouyang Lanlan had made an appointment I came at 6:30 in the evening, and I probably have something to delay until 7:00.At seven o'clock in the evening, he walked out of the school gate and got into Ouyang Lanlan's car.After asking, I found out that Ouyang Lanlan didn't call him in the afternoon.He suddenly wondered, could Ms. Ou be Ou Qingchun?I couldn't help being ecstatic, and quickly lied to Ouyang Lanlan that there was something urgent and that today's training was cancelled, and I would make an appointment again. Ouyang Lanlan asked sensitively: "Did a girl call you this afternoon?" Xiao Tong said, "No, no." Ouyang Lanlan said: "You can still fool me, a woman can smell a woman even if they are separated by a thousand miles!" Xiao Tong said angrily: "Yes, a woman called me." Ouyang Lanlan asked, "Who?" Xiao Tong raised his face and said, "My girlfriend!" His unscrupulous attitude angered Ouyang Lanlan, and before he got off the station, he stepped on the accelerator and galloped away.He didn't care about getting angry, so he looked in the direction of the school gate.At a glance, Ou Qingchun was standing there and had been staring at him for a long time. He was so happy that he didn't know what to say when he saw her, so he just said, "Hey, you're back!" Ou Qingchun smiled and asked, "How do you know I'm out?" He said happily: "I have spied on you." Qingchun pointed at him like a big sister: "Let me tell you, you are the only amateur policeman." This tone of hatred and love made him feel warm all over his body.He asked, "Why do you want to come and see me?" Qingchun said, "See if your eyes are sick." Xiao Tong said, "Are you concerned about me or your fiance's eyes?" Qingchun said: "The eyes have already grown on your face, and they are already yours." Xiao Tong said, "Then you care about me?" Qingchun said, "Is it allowed?" Xiao Tong said, "I will lose sleep for a week." The two walked into the school gate while talking, Xiao Tong said: "Do you want to see my dormitory?" He really wanted to let his roommates see Qingchun.They must find her very respectable. But Qingchun proposed: "Didn't you say that there is a lake in your school, is it very beautiful, we can sit there." That's a good idea too, it'll be cool by the lake.Xiao Tong enthusiastically led the way, and the two arrived at the inner lake in the center of the campus.The sky has not yet darkened, the blue lake is glowing with the golden brilliance of the setting sun, and the weeping willows on the shore are calm.They walked aimlessly along the low rail by the lake.The lake is not big, and it may take less than half an hour to walk around like this.But Qingchun still admires such a beautiful lake view on campus. They talked about the scenery here: the trees by the lake, the stone benches, and a small boat moored on the lake; they talked about the smell and food in the hospital, and they also talked about the final exams that had already started and the political speeches that were about to start..., In short, this was the first time that Xiaotong had such a calm chat with Qingchun alone after he was discharged from the hospital, and it was all about relaxed and happy topics.After they circled the beautiful lake, Qingchun stopped.she asked: "Have you had a fight with Wenyan recently?" Xiao Tong was taken aback by this seemingly unintentional but sudden question.He said sensitively: "No. You may have misunderstood my relationship with Wenyan. In fact, we are just neighbors, just ordinary friends, very good ordinary friends." Qingchun smiled and said, "Oh, I thought you had a new friend, so you became indifferent to Wenyan." Xiao Tong said: "I don't have any new friends. As a person, I don't have this kind of luck. People I don't like, they cry and want to follow me; people I like, they don't necessarily like me in their hearts. .” Qingchun said tentatively: "Ah, I see, you fell in love with a rich girl, but that girl didn't promise you, right?" Xiao Tong said: "What are you talking about, I don't like those rich girls." Qingchun said: "If you can drive a big 'BMW', you can't be a 'Tanermei' who runs a street stall." Xiao Tong waved his hands aggrievedly: "You mean her. We were a fake relationship, acting as a show for his father. Now we are ordinary friends. She taught me how to drive." Qingchun said: "I saw it just now. You two were arguing. She seemed very upset when you got out of the car. Ordinary friends don't do this, do they?" Xiao Tong became a little anxious: "It's her wishful thinking, I never meant that to her. If you don't believe it, I can swear it!" Qingchun seemed to be very concerned and asked again: "You really don't like her? She looks good too." Qingchun's emphasis on and sensitivity to this matter made Xiaotong secretly happy.At the same time, it also gave him a chance to clarify and declare: "I definitely don't like her type." He hoped that Qingchun would ask him which type he liked, but she didn't ask.She just thought for a moment, and unexpectedly said to him in a working tone: "Xiao Tong, I'm here today because I have something to do. I want to ask you to do us a favor. I don't know if you are willing or not." As if Xiao Tong didn't understand, he asked in a daze, "I can do you a favor? Who are you?" Qingchun said, "The Public Security Bureau." Xiao Tong's heart turned cold, and a shadow floated across his face: "So, you came to see me today because of business?" Qingchun was tactful: "Let's balance public and private interests." The smile on Xiao Tong's face suddenly lost its brilliance, and he looked very forced. He said, "What can I do for your Public Security Bureau?" Qingchun took out a photo from the purse, handed it to him, and asked, "Do you know this person?" Xiao Tong looked at it and said doubtfully, "This is Ouyang Lanlan's father." Qingchun asked, "Do you know his name?" "It seems to be called Ouyang Tian. What's the matter with him?" Qingchun said: "We suspect that he is related to a drug trafficking case. We hope you can help us investigate." Xiao Tong was so stunned that he couldn't speak for a long time: "He, he is very rich, and the company is also very big, how could he deal in drugs?" Qingchun: "We just suspect, so I would like to ask you to assist us in obtaining the necessary evidence." Xiao Tong asked: "How do you know that I know them? We just met for a few days." Qingchun thought for a moment and said, "Someone saw you with them." Xiao Tong stared at Qingchun with disgust on his face: "Are you guys following me?" "We are following Ouyang Tian!" "What about his daughter, Ouyang Lanlan, is she okay? Did she also get involved in that kind of thing?" "We haven't found any yet." Xiao Tong lowered his head and pondered, but in fact he didn't think about anything, his mind was completely messed up. Qingchun said: "If you really care about Ouyang Lanlan, you should help us figure out this matter, prevent her from falling into it, and even get her out." Xiao Tong looked up at Qingchun: "No, I don't care about her. I hate her. And she is her and I am me. Don't mix us up." Qingchun said: "Then you shouldn't have any worries anymore. Yes, they are rich, but how did they get the money? Twenty years ago, Ouyang Tian was penniless, and then he started his own business with twists and turns. But now, Even his daughter drives a 'BMW'. Maybe every penny in his hands is stained with crime! You should help us find him." But Xiao Tong shook his head: "No, I don't want to participate in this kind of thing, and I can't be a spy. I don't plan to have anything to do with Ouyang Lanlan anymore, and I won't be able to know about her father in the future." It was already dark, and the lake around me became dim, like a pool of stagnant water.Xiao Tong couldn't see Qingchun's face clearly, he knew she was very disappointed.He himself was disappointed.He originally thought that Qingchun came to see him at school out of affection and concern for him, but he turned out to be affectionate.She came for a case that had nothing to do with him.At this moment, he was in a bad mood, wishing he could run home immediately and cry with his head covered. But the policewoman didn't seem to notice his depression at all, and she still spared no effort to be faithful to her official duties, persuading and mobilizing Xiao Tong: "You are a college student. You should have studied modern Chinese history. You should know the relationship between the decline of the modern Chinese nation and drugs. Have you watched "Sword of China"? Do you know what drugs are playing in China now? Is it a role? If you are free when, I can take you to a drug rehabilitation center. You can see how many people have been destroyed by drugs and how many families have been destroyed. You can learn about the real stories of how many families have been destroyed around you, If you understand, I believe you will understand. You will stand up bravely, contribute to drug control, and fulfill your responsibility. I hope..." Xiao Tong interrupted Qingchun's "Hope" suddenly and violently. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, officer, I'm not a drug addict, and I don't need to go to a drug rehabilitation center! I'm very happy, I'm very happy that you came to see me! But I'm sorry I didn't know just now that you were taking up your precious working time by walking and chatting with me here, and you were patiently accompanying me for your official duties..., I'm sorry!" Xiao Tong couldn't continue, he felt his heart was hurt by a kind of teasing and ridicule.He bowed fiercely to Qingchun, turned around and ran away, leaving Qingchun alone in the sudden night and the chill of the lake without looking back.
