Chapter 16 71-75

Another week passed, and Meng Fan still didn't come to see me.I went to the classroom of the foreign language department to look for her, but couldn't find her.Instead, I saw Gu Lin. She told me that Meng Fan had been studying in the dormitory recently and did not go out.I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but there was nothing I could do.I wrote her a letter every day, and everyone in the dorm said I was crazy. It's Saturday again.At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Xiaolin and I got on the school bus at the gate of No. 3 House and went to Xingzhou University to perform together.There are two evening shows for Xingzhou University's anniversary. Tonight's one is mainly for the friendly performances of various fraternal colleges.Among the actors who went with him was Meng Fan.Not seeing each other for half a month, she turned out to be quite haggard.I was so distressed that I sat next to her, but she didn't drive me away, she just kept her face cold and ignored me.

"Fan Bao, you've lost weight." I said. "Was I fat before?" She said coldly without looking at me. "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. You're very slender..." I looked around and wanted to say a few more nasty flattering words, but after all, I was afraid that the people around me would hear me, so I didn't have the nerve to say it. Meng Fan snorted, "Whether I'm fat or thin is none of your business?" I hit a snag and didn't dare to say anything more. I was quite hesitant and embarrassed for a while. Among the actors, Lu Xiaolin found Ling Yufei, whom he had been chasing for a long time but had never succeeded in. He was as excited as a pug dog seeing its owner, and went up to him wagging its tail, and sat beside Ling Yufei with a salivating face.

Last semester, the love song concert held by the girls downstairs has already spread throughout the school. The relationship between Meng Fan and I, and Lu Xiaolin's love for Ling Yufei are almost known to everyone.When everyone saw Lu Xiaolin sitting beside Ling Yufei, they all smiled and waited to watch the show, so of course no one competed with Lu Xiaolin for a seat. Meng Fan couldn't help but smile when he saw Lu Xiaolin's appearance, but when he saw me looking at her, he immediately lowered his face and stopped smiling. I whispered, "Fanbao, you look so pretty when you smile!"

"If you don't come here, I won't talk to you." "Oh, you look better when you're angry!" Meng Fan gave me a sideways look and stopped talking.I was swept away by her gaze, and I couldn't move for a moment, so I just stared at her blankly.Although she was a little haggard, she had a more delicate beauty than before.She was always so youthful before, but now she seems a little preoccupied.I looked at her with love and compassion in my heart.But Meng Fan never looked at me again, and sometimes looked out the window.I couldn't help but gently pulled her hand, which was also opened by her.I was afraid of being slapped in the face in public, so I didn't dare to force her hand.

Along the way, I asked Meng Fan a lot of questions in a soft voice. She usually ignored me, and only answered very calmly and simply after very important questions, without saying much.I asked her if she had received my letter, and she said she had.I asked her if she could forgive me and she said no. I got a bad nose. Lu Xiaolin's situation is similar to mine.Ling Yufei also ignored him.But Ling Yufei is more elusive than Meng Fan is her expression.She doesn't seem to have much expression, and it's hard for others to guess her inner thoughts based on the changes in her face.Lu Xiaolin was very distressed by this, and often expressed his helplessness to me, asking me to intercede for him.I talked to Ling Yufei about this matter, but every time Ling Yufei cleverly changed the topic as soon as I opened my mouth.

Lu Xiaolin felt that Ling Yufei was an indestructible fortress.In fact, I think she is not so much a fortress as a piece of chicken rib, which is not tasteless to be discarded.My opinion is similar to that of Jin Ziguang, what is so cute about such a cold wooden beauty?It's a thousand miles away from me, who is capable of both civil and military skills and can laugh and make trouble.Many times Lu Xiaolin felt that he couldn't keep going, but with my encouragement, he continued to attack, but unfortunately the effect was not great.He is now riding a tiger, stuck in a dilemma. The show begins.Lu Xiaolin and I's pantomime "Learning Martial Arts" is the fifth program.With our excellent performance, we completely conquered the audience of Xingzhou University, and instantly inflamed the atmosphere of the party.When we left the stage after the performance, not only the audience, but also all the actors backstage applauded us, with the exception of two people, Meng Fan and Ling Yufei.Taking advantage of the drunken excitement on the stage just now, I ran up to Meng Fan and gave a Barton-like military salute, then leaned into her ear and said, "Report to the chief, I'm going to have a few words with Ling Yufei, Help Lu Xiaolin beat the side drum." Meng Fan said: "Your chief is not here today, don't worry, I won't tell her."

"Yeah~~~~" I stretched my limbs, rolled my eyes, leaned over and turned over, and didn't care, so I excitedly pulled Ling Yufei aside and said, "Beautiful Ling, you How about Lu Xiaolin? He is sincere to you, why don't you give him a chance?" Ling Yufei said: "I have no feelings for him." One sentence pushed me back. I didn't give up, and continued to babble: "What's wrong with Lu Xiaolin?" "What's so good about him?" "He can play the guitar and sing to you, he can also act, and he is also very good at foreign languages."

"He's too immature, I like something darker." "Men have to go through this stage. You should give them some time." Ling Yufei sneered and said, "You are just little boys now, not men yet." Her words were so lethal that I choked on them all at once.I didn't give up, and continued to babble for a while, but Ling Yufei still didn't get into it.At this time, when the male host announced the curtain call, it was Meng Fan's turn to play.So I had to stop lobbying and watch Meng Fan's show. Meng Fan sang "Follow Your Feeling" by Su Rui.This song is passionate and has a strong sense of rhythm. Meng Fan followed that rhythm and flew back and forth on the stage.The audience was infected by her energetic singing, and their emotions were high. They all beat the time with the rhythm of her singing, and the party reached its climax.After Meng Fan came down, the audience applauded for a long time.Many people shouted: "One more! One more!"

Meng Fan had no choice but to go up and thank him again.The audience is still not letting go of her.More people shouted: "One more! Come one more!" Meng Fan had no choice but to take the microphone and go up again, and said to the audience: "Thank you very much, but I only prepared one song today, I am not ready, I am very sorry! " There was a sound of disappointment in the audience.The male host hurried to the stage and said: "Student Meng Fan's singing is so beautiful, she is really beautiful and the song is beautiful! Can you perform another one for everyone?"

Meng Fan said: "There is only one other song on my accompaniment tape, and it is a male and female duet. If there is no accompaniment tape, then I can only sing a cappella." The audience shouted: "Then let's sing a male and female duet, and find a man to sing with you!" "Let the male host sing with you!" "Yes, yes, yes!" The male host was very happy, but he still pretended to be modest and said: "I really can't sing! Don't make fun of me!" This guy seems to have taken a fancy to Meng Fan today, and he wants to strike up a conversation with her whenever he has the opportunity.Now that I see a good opportunity, I am eager to try it immediately.

Meng Fan smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a solution now. Let me tell you a secret, okay?" Audience: "Good!" The host said, "What's the secret?" Meng Fan said: "Do you still remember the pantomime "Learning Martial Arts" just now?" "Remember!" "Haha, remember. Do you know that the actor playing the apprentice can not only act in sketches, but also sing!" "what?" "Let's ask him to come up too, and I'll sing this song for everyone with him, okay?" "Okay! Hahaha..." Meng Fan held up the microphone and waved to me: "Geng Xiao, come up!" I didn't expect that Meng Fan would ask me to go on stage, and I was covered in cold sweat.But obviously, Meng Fan is unwilling to sing with that male host, and now I need to go up to save the scene, which also gives me a chance.But for me, now is not only about saving Meng Fan from danger, but also about defending my homeland.I have never been afraid of any danger in such a thing.No matter what song he sings, go up first and then talk. So I walked up to the stage with my head held high, took the microphone from the male host, and greeted the audience.The male host walked off the stage with a dejected expression. Meng Fan said: "The students who are in charge of the sound please play the next song, thank you! Today, Geng Xiao and I will bring you a piece of "Lovesickness in the Rain and Rain". I hope you like it!" The audience laughed and applauded. As soon as I heard Meng Fan say the title of the song "Lovesickness in the Wind and Rain", the stone in my heart was put down.This song is one of the songs that Meng Fan and I are most familiar with and favorite. We usually sing together, but we never thought of performing it together.Although I am very confident in acting in sketches, I am still very afraid of singing.Not only because I feel that my singing is average, but more importantly, I have no experience. If I can't grasp the rhythm well, if I sing fast or slow, there will be problems. While hesitating, the music started.Seeing my appearance, Meng Fan knew that I was very nervous, so she took my hand and gave me an encouraging smile.My heart suddenly calmed down, and I raised the microphone and sang: Difficult to solve all kinds of worries, knowing each other and loving each other. Meng Fan smiled and continued singing: The sea of ​​love becomes vast, and infatuation meets the cold wind. The two sang like this.I have a great advantage as a person, that is, I am bold and cautious, and I am calm when things change.It would be a lie to say that I was not nervous at all before going on stage.Until a long time later, I didn't solve the problem of retching before going on stage, but once I went on stage, I was completely relaxed and confident.The stage is mine.Here I am the king and the audience are my subjects.At this time, Meng Fan put his hand in my hand, which gave me infinite courage.I fully integrated into the situation in the song, yes, "Lovesickness in the wind and rain", isn't that what I have been in for the past half month?I forgot to worry about whether my throat sounded good or not, and forgot to care about the rhythm. I was just using those lyrics to gently tell Meng Fan about my lovesickness for her. At the end of the song, Meng Fan and I looked at each other affectionately. This kind of performance is pure and natural, without any trace of refinement.Seeing Meng Fan's gentle eyes, I knew she had forgiven me.The two have the same mind, so there is no need to say anything more.When I sang the line "When the frost and snow fall in the cold night", I saw that Meng Fan was thinner than before, only wearing a thin performance costume, which made me feel more affectionate.As soon as I finished singing, I immediately took off my coat, put it on Meng Fan, hugged her off the stage, and left the applause and exclamation of the audience behind. After stepping down, I dragged Meng Fan to find a place where no one was around, and wanted to kiss her.But the backstage is such a big place, and there are people everywhere, so I had to drag her out of the auditorium.Meng Fan kept saying, "What are you doing?" He also pretended to struggle with his hands, but his feet followed me obediently. When I arrived in the shade of a tree, I hugged Meng Fan and was about to kiss her. She covered my mouth and said, "Shut up the pervert!" I sighed, and gave a military salute helplessly: "What orders does the chief have?" "Your performance has been very bad recently! I decided to implement a probationary period system for you." "What is the apprenticeship system?" "I'll give you three months as a trainee. If you dare to make mistakes again and play tricks, I will never forgive you again!" "Huh? Boyfriend apprenticeship?" "right!" My head shook like a splashing drum: "No, I will never accept it! This is an unequal treaty imposed on our country by imperialism. I was originally your real boyfriend, and now you want to demote me to a trainee level. This strongly hurt the feelings of the Chinese people. The Chinese people absolutely cannot accept it!" She sneered: "You have to accept it if you accept it, and you have to accept it if you don't accept it!" "I would rather die than surrender!" "Okay. Then you go to die. You don't need to be an apprentice, so you can close your business now. I'm going up." Meng Fan said and was about to leave. I quickly pulled her back: "Fanbao, we have something to discuss! Are you really so cruel? Are you going to demote me?" "It's you, always making me angry! I have to make you remember." "Yes, damn it! I will definitely change it in the future." "You know it's wrong?" "understood." "Then you accepted the probationary period?" "Not accepted." Meng Fan said angrily, "Hmph! Goodbye." "Fan Bao, don't go! I...I accept!" I always have nothing to do in front of Meng Fan.Another loss of power and humiliation. "Haha! Okay. Not bad!" Meng Fan smiled smugly, and then suddenly said with a straight face: "Now, you must complete the first task I gave you! If you do not complete it well, the next probationary period will be over. It's over early." "Ah? So serious?" I said anxiously, "What kind of tricks are you trying to play against me?" Meng Fan said angrily, "Do you dare to say that my order is a trick?" "Don't dare! I was wrong, I was wrong!" I was sweating profusely. "Hmph! Listen! My order is—" "What is it?" I was very nervous. Meng Fan's beautiful eyes suddenly dimmed: "Kiss me." …………………… "Fuck!" "Ok……" "I love you!" "Ok……" We have said these few words countless times.I especially like the way Meng Fan closes her eyes, her long eyelashes flicker slightly, and she smiles slightly and makes a "hmm" sound. That is the most beautiful face and the most beautiful voice in the world. "Fun." "Ok……" "Why are you so unhappy recently?" "You still dare to ask me this question?" "I already know my mistake. Let's not talk about this issue." I sighed, "Also, what seems to be going on at your house?" Meng Fan lowered his head and said, "It's nothing." "There must be something. Don't you want to tell me? Don't you trust me?" "Hmph! Are you worthy of my trust?" "Of course it's worth it. Although I have many shortcomings, I have one strength." "What are the advantages?" "Although I am not good at words and expressing my feelings, I have a sincere and kind heart." "Is it? A sincere and kind heart?" "Yeah! It's still a heart that loves Fanbao forever." "Humph!" "Baby, tell me!" Meng Fan hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "My parents don't allow me to fall in love." My heart sank immediately: "Are they not allowing you to fall in love, or are they not allowing you to fall in love with me?" Meng Fan bowed his head and said nothing. My heart continued to sink: "You told them about the two of us?" Meng Fan shook his head and said, "I didn't say it. But they heard it from other students' parents." "How would others know?" "Isn't it because you sang downstairs last time, so that the whole school knew about it. There are a few acquaintances in our family, whose children are also studying in our university, so they all know about it. It's all your fault!" "Then when your parents find out, they will come to ask you?" "yes." "Did you tell us all about us?" "Talk about it. They already know your basic situation." "Huh?" I started to sweat, "They don't agree?" "I don't agree. Especially my mother, I strongly disagree." "Why don't you agree?" I became more and more nervous. Meng Fan lowered his head and did not speak.Eye circles are red again. "say something!" She still doesn't speak. I felt that the problem was serious, so I asked, "Fan Bao, do they look down on me? Think I'm not good enough for you?" "no……" I felt that Meng Fan's words were obviously lacking in confidence, and my heart suddenly became heavy.I heard from Meng Fan before that her parents were both government officials, and she didn't pay much attention to it. Only now did she realize the class difference. "Hmph! They look down on me like this? They don't even like me because they haven't even seen my face?" "You! Don't be angry with my parents!" "Okay, okay..." I sighed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" "I was just afraid to tell you that you would be angry." Meng Fan said, "I had an argument with my mother that day. She asked me to break up with you, but I refused. Then I ran away from home. I wanted to find Pingbao discussed it, but she happened to see you coming down from her house." The more she talked, the more wronged she became, and she shed tears again. Only then did I suddenly realize that I held Meng Fan tightly in my arms and said, "Fan Bao, you are so kind to me, even if I die ten thousand times, I will not be able to repay you." "But you still went to her house to eat!" "Fan Bao! Why do you always disbelieve me?" "I was going to die of anger at that time, I hated you to death! I still hate you now!" "Fanbao, don't say that. Pingbao is your good friend, and she definitely doesn't like me." "Not always." "Oh! It's all my fault. I will never go to their house for dinner again. Okay?" "It's also forbidden to flirt with her." I sighed: "Okay. Let's think about how to deal with your parents." "I'm scared, big bear!..." Meng Fan closed her eyes and said, "Don't say anything now, hold me tight!" At this point the party was over, and the audience flocked out.Meng Fan and I went backstage to get the clothes and props, and got on the school bus together.On the way back to school, we didn't talk much, we sat together and worried. Back at school, it was getting late, so I sent Meng Fan back to the dormitory.There was still a long distance from the girls' dormitory, Meng Fan suddenly panicked and said, "No! Let's go back!" I followed her inexplicably, turned around and walked away.But it's too late.A middle-aged woman's voice came from behind: "Fanbao! Stop! I see you!" Meng Fan tremblingly said: "That's my mother...you go!" I said, "Why are you going? I will see her sooner or later." I walked towards her mother with Meng Fan. Meng Fan's mother is very charming, she must have been a very beautiful beauty when she was young.Meng Fan is very similar to her.She kept looking at us, especially me, coldly as we walked towards her.I felt chills down my spine, but I still went forward bravely. Meng Fan said, "Mom, this is Geng Xiao." I quickly bowed: "Hello, Auntie!" "Ah, hello!" The mother-in-law nodded slightly to me, and then began to blame Meng Fan: "Fan Bao, you don't go home or call for half a month, do you still want your parents?" ?” Meng Fan admitted his mistakes very well: "Mom, I was wrong. I will never dare again." "Hmph, I can't control you more and more! You are capable of rushing around!" "Mom, I won't do it next time..." "One day I will be mad at you!" "Mom, how long have you been waiting for me?" "Hmph! I've been waiting for you all night! I just came out of your dormitory. Are you going to perform at Xingzhou University?" "yes……" "go home with me." "Mom, it's late today, I haven't changed my clothes yet, can I go home tomorrow?" Meng Fan begged. "Go home tomorrow? Didn't I wait in vain? Who knows if you will really go home tomorrow?" "I must go home." "No! Follow me now!" Meng Fan pouted and looked at her mother, then at me, with a face full of reluctance.I feel very uncomfortable.The mother-in-law never looked at me directly, but just blamed her daughter blindly.I knew that it was all because of me that Meng Fan went out in a fit of anger and hid in school instead of going home. She blamed Meng Fan like this in front of me, which was actually almost the same as scolding me.All this shows that Meng Fan's mother never put me in the scope of choosing a son-in-law from the beginning.It was a big blow to my self-esteem.I couldn't help gnashing my teeth, thinking, I'm that bad? The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.At this time, my mother-in-law began to look at me carefully, and said, "Xiao Geng, I heard Meng Fan mention you. You are still young, you should focus on your studies." "Mom!" Meng Fan yelled. The mother-in-law ignored her, and then said: "Meng Fan is ignorant and doesn't know how to take care of herself. I usually indulge her too much. You are still ignorant and don't know what life is. Let's take some things for a while. , study is important." I don't know how to answer, neither "yes" nor "no".Meng Fan was so anxious that he could only call "Mom".When some students passed by, they all looked at us. Some of them probably saw the situation, and they were quite gloating.I'm in a terrible mood. Meng Fan finally followed her mother home, and before leaving, she gave me a meaningful look.I understood the look in her eyes, which meant to reassure me that she would find a way to persuade her parents to accept me.
