Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 791 50. Listen to mom: Do you always think I like you? 【Down】

"Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 assemble!"

"Classes 4, 5, and 6 gather!"

"Classes 7, 8 and 9 gather!"

The instructors' instructions sounded one after another, and Qiao Zhizhi recovered her thoughts and quickly walked towards the gathering place of Classes 4, 5, and 6.

Her feet accelerated, and the figure in her peripheral vision also accelerated.

After a while, she found out that Wang Xiaohu's class was Class 4 next to hers.

The two instructors of Classes 2022, and were divided into two teams, boys and girls. The first class of military training for the freshmen began.

For most boys and girls who have just experienced a happy summer vacation, military training is undoubtedly boring and even a bit painful.

Before the military training started, Qiao Zhizhi was also a little "afraid" of the military training because she was afraid of getting tanned.

Which girl is not afraid of getting tanned?
Although Qiao Zhizhi kept warning herself not to have such thoughts, which were wrong thoughts, her mother also repeatedly emphasized to her the significance of participating in military training at each stage.

My mother said that participating in military training in junior high school is not only to cultivate their sense of discipline and self-discipline and build collective consciousness, but also to hone their tenacity and ability to cope with adversity.

My mother said that as a contemporary junior high school student, military training should be taken seriously. This is a sign of responsibility and self-confidence.

But Qiao Zhizhi is still so afraid of getting tanned!

But the strange thing is that when she learned that she would participate in military training with Wang Xiaohu, she immediately overcame her cowardice.

Stand in military posture!
Take a break!

stand at attention!

Let’s go together!
Under the scorching sun, one password followed another. Only half a day passed, and the joy and laughter in the early morning were no longer in the playground.

By the afternoon, the six teams of nine classes had become seven teams.

The seventh team consists of boys and girls. Although the number is not large, they enjoy considerable privileges. While other teams stand in military posture under the scorching sun, they can be in the shade of the trees.

The other teams stood for fifteen minutes, but they only had to stand for ten minutes.

By the next morning, the seventh team had grown again, and by the afternoon, it had become the largest team on the training ground.

Some people choose to retreat, while others choose to move forward.

With her excellent physical fitness and serious attitude, on the afternoon of the second day of military training, Qiao Zhizhi was selected as the pacesetter of the girls' team in Classes 4, 5, and 6.

"Exit!"

When Qiao Zhizhi heard her name and walked out of the team, her smiling face under the brim of her hat shone brightly with sweat-stained soil.

At that moment, she didn't know whether she was happier because she was selected as a pacesetter, or because she was happier for another classmate who was selected as a pacesetter.

The moment she heard that Wang Xiaohu was on the list, an inspirational drama called "Counterattack! Boy" immediately played in her mind.

The images of that scene have long been buried deep in her memory, including the overpass, schoolbag, corridor, paper balls, QQ, fists, ambush, and even that page of classmate directory.

Qiao Zhizhi looked through the classmate directory once during her summer vacation. After flipping through it, she turned to the page of Wang Xiaohu's classmate directory.

Looking at Wang Xiaohu's crooked handwriting, she felt childish and ridiculous for her impulsiveness at the time. Wang Xiaohu filled it out for himself anyway, didn't he.

Looking at this classmate record with nostalgia again, she also discovered a detail that she had not noticed at the time.

Wang Xiaohu has a very straightforward and positive answer to a question. His favorite person is: Teacher Li.

Thinking of Teacher Li, Qiao Zhizhi's mind flashed to youth dance music, the choir, and the stage for the Children's Day performance.

Then she confirmed that she was even happier when the instructor called Wang Xiaohu's name.

She seemed to have returned to the scene that day in the corridor, when Wang Xiaohu endured being misunderstood, took off the paper ball with one leap, put it on the stool and left quietly. At that moment, she knew that Wang Xiaohu was definitely not the bad boy that everyone said. !

Absolutely not!

Just like this moment, Wang Xiaohu once again proved himself with actions.

Walking to the front of the team and next to Wang Xiaohu, she excitedly wanted to question all the classmates who had misunderstood Wang Xiaohu!

The scholar doesn’t have Wang Xiaohu’s aunt anymore, right?
The instructor doesn’t know Wang Xiaohu!

So why can Wang Xiaohu be rated as a pacesetter!
In fact, Qiao Zhizhi discovered that Wang Xiaohu had changed a lot on the afternoon of the first day of military training. He was taller, taller and taller, and his eyebrows were thicker. However, these were not the most fundamental changes in Wang Xiaohu.

The biggest change in Wang Xiaohu is that he has become brighter. He no longer hides in the corner of the crowd. Wherever he goes, he seems to be shrouded in a beam of light.

But there is one thing about the other party, and there is still no change at all.

She hates it so much that her teeth itch!

Just after the military training ended the next day, she took the initiative to say hello to Wang Xiaohu again.

She didn’t know if Wang Xiaohu had already known or seen her coming to Shuren before hearing the instructor call her name. She only remembered that Wang Xiaohu gave her a smile that was uglier than crying, and then said to her : "My stomach hurts a little."

Then he turned around and ran away.

What a familiar scene.

She originally thought that Wang Xiaohu was a little uncomfortable seeing her suddenly.

And within the next ten days, she discovered that Wang Xiaohu really didn't want to see her.

I saw her walking around her in the corridor, and I saw her walking around her in the cafeteria.

Are you a ghost? ! Qiao Zhizhi really didn't understand what it was about herself that made Wang Xiaohu feel terrible.

Two years have passed!

The puzzled Qiao Zhizhi finally couldn't hold it in anymore. When she went home on a weekend, she told her mother all this and wanted her mother to explain to her what was going on.

After hearing this, her mother first told her that Wang Xiaohu was a kind-hearted child, and then told her that boys’ mental development is slower than that of girls.

Her mother asked her why she cared so much about Wang Xiaohu and refused to pay attention to her. She said that she had always wanted to help Wang Xiaohu.

After hearing this, her mother affirmed her motivation, but regarding her execution process, her mother told her a story about a hedgehog.

Two hedgehogs hugged each other to keep warm in the cold winter. At first, because the two hedgehogs were too close, the thorns on each body hurt the other.

Later, they adjusted their snuggling posture and opened an appropriate distance from each other. Not only did they keep each other warm smoothly, but they also never hurt each other again.

Qiao Zhizhi was puzzled when her mother told her: "Zhizhi, some thorns are invisible. Just because you can't feel it, doesn't mean others can't feel it."

“Sometimes when getting along with people, your strengths may be obstacles that hinder your communication.”

"Have you ever viewed your actions from his perspective?"

Qiao Zhizhi immediately understood what her mother meant.

If she and Wang Xiaohu are compared to two hedgehogs, for her, the thorns on Wang Xiaohu's body are visible to her, but for Wang Xiaohu, the thorns on her body are invisible to her.

At that time, I had the aura of being a good student, but Wang Xiaohu was a poor student in everyone's eyes.

These two attributes seem to have a natural contradiction.

And as her mother said, she has always tried to get close to Wang Xiaohu in her own way, occasionally with a little "force".

From Wang Xiaohu's perspective, in the face of his various actions, not understanding and rejecting may be the right approach stemming from self-protection.

And returning to her own perspective, she finally discovered the key to the problem.

Ever since the overpass incident, she had been telling herself to look at Wang Xiaohu from an equal perspective, and this idea itself was looking at Wang Xiaohu through a pair of tinted glasses.

After the heart-to-heart talk with her mother, the problems that troubled Qiao Zhizhi finally made new progress, and she seemed to feel what she should do.

When she meets Wang Xiaohu again in school, she won't show anything deliberately.

Perhaps the change in her mentality finally worked, and she discovered that Wang Xiaohu was not avoiding her that much.

Even once in the lobby of the teaching department, Wang Xiaohu actually took the initiative to greet her with his eyes.

This surprised her, but at the same time she was secretly determined that her approach was correct.

Just when school was over that afternoon, she and Wang Xiaohu met again in the corridor. She waved, and Wang Xiaohu waved back to her. But what happened next shocked her again. Wang Xiaohu began to avoid her again, and this time with a clear look of avoidance.

Is it just because she signed up for a piano literacy class like the other party? ?

She believed that Wang Xiaohu felt that she was enrolling in the piano literacy class to get closer to him, so he became hostile again.

Because she couldn't find any other reason.

But her enrollment in piano literacy classes really has nothing to do with Wang Xiaohu.

Can't she like Teacher Li?
She was attracted by Teacher Li's piano sound, attracted by Teacher Li's conversation, and deeply moved by Teacher Li's interpretation of youth dance music when Teacher Li was filming the choir for everyone, so she learned about Teacher Li after I had to sign up as soon as possible when the scholar opened a piano club.

Her idea at that time was very simple. If there was a conflict between dance class time and piano class time, she would choose piano without hesitation.

She has never seen such a music teacher. Even in her violin teacher, Professor Shen from the Music Department of Chengdu University, she has never experienced the feeling when Teacher Li teaches everyone.

She had thought that Wang Xiaohu, as a student of Teacher Li, would definitely enroll in Teacher Li's class, but what did this have to do with her.

But Qiao Zhizhi seems to be used to it. From fifth grade to now, she has really gotten used to it.

Probably as my mother said, boys' mental development is slow.

If you are slow, just go slow. Anyway, I regard you as a very good friend. You can do whatever you want. I will take my lessons, dance my dance, and learn my piano.

Qiao Zhizhi comforted herself in her heart. On the one hand, she was unwilling to give up, and on the other hand, she was enthusiastic about learning and living.

Soon, her enthusiasm for learning and living overcame her unwillingness.

Of course, she is no longer the same person she was in elementary school. When she was in elementary school, she didn't care about her classmates' gossip, but now she starts to care too.

She clearly explained that she was covering up, so when faced with the jokes from classmates and friends around her, she could only say that it was not what you thought. The more she said it, it would be as if she really liked Wang Xiaohu.

Liking is a very special emotion in her heart, although she has never experienced it, because in her heart she has never liked any male classmate, nor has she liked Wang Xiaohu.

Another half month passed like this. In this half month, except for taking piano literacy classes, she didn't see Wang Xiaohu much.

There is another thing. She wants to wait until she finishes this literacy class and then go home to discuss with her mother on the weekend. She wants to learn piano, not just in school. She hopes to take lessons from Teacher Li on weekends.

Just the day before yesterday, she heard from her dance teacher that the school would hold a club performance in the first week of November. The first thing she thought of was not her dance club, but Teacher Li's orchestral club.

Qiao Zhizhi started learning violin at the age of five, and also participated in the symphony orchestra rehearsal organized by Professor Shen outside school.

So she knows the current situation of the club. If the orchestra puts on a show now, it will be very difficult. Most of the students are not even at the elementary level, and only a few can be considered entry-level.

How can such a group of musicians perform on stage?

After much thought, she decided to discuss it with Wang Xiaohu, because Teacher Li told everyone after a piano literacy class that Wang Xiaohu was learning conducting.

Since Wang Xiaohu can direct, there must be some people who disagree with her ideas.

Furthermore, Wang Xiaohu will never "embarrass" himself anymore about things on stage.

But how could she call Wang Xiaohu out? In the end, she chose the old method and went to find him in person during class breaks.

She didn't bring Wang Xiaohu out yesterday morning, but she finally called him out in the afternoon.

Then there was that surprising scene. Wang Xiaohu seemed to have returned to the days before signing up for the piano literacy class, and saw that her expression was a little gentle.

But she never expected that her first face-to-face communication with Wang Xiaohu would end in a conflict.

Qiao Zhizhi was also wondering last night if she was too strong.

Wang Xiaohu's previous sentence clearly contained a strong personal emotion of dissatisfaction. Wang Xiaohu said to her confidently: I don't care what Ma Hui says, I only listen to my teacher, and this is a scholar, not Jinhua, understand. ?
Wang Xiaohu mentioned that this was not Jinhua, which reminded her of a similar situation she had experienced in Jinhua. It seemed that she was always the one who made the decision when discussing the program with her classmates, and everyone always listened to her.

Wang Xiaohu is right, she has somewhat assumed her previous role, but now she is just Qiao Zhizhi as a book writer.

Of course, she was also angry at Wang Xiaohu's venting speech. She was angry with the anger that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, so she was also a little angry, saying that she had misjudged the person.

In fact, when she said this, she felt particularly uncomfortable, as if she had personally denied her persistence. This discomfort was even more uncomfortable than the last words Wang Xiaohu said.

"That's great. I'll see how many people in the school are waiting in line next time."

When Wang Xiaohu said these words, what did he think of himself in the eyes of the other party?
Qiao Zhizhi felt uncomfortable, but she was still calm.

Calmness helps to think, and thinking also helps to calm down. The more she thinks, the calmer she becomes. From her calm thinking, she seems to have found the answers to all her questions.

Wang Xiaohu has been avoiding him since two years ago, maybe because the other person thinks he likes him.

The thought of this made her angry and ridiculous.

Thinking about it calmly, she gained something yesterday. She gained Wang Xiaohu's emotions. Wang Xiaohu finally showed the emotions of a normal person in front of her.

So she was angry, but she really didn't blame Wang Xiaohu.

First, her discomfort was caused more by what she said.

Secondly, Wang Xiaohu's last words gave her an answer.

Just like solving a problem, after getting the answer, all the problem-solving process will gradually become clear.

Qiao Zhizhi believed that she had taken the initiative in a sense.

But she didn't expect that the question would be delivered to her door the next day.

Wang Xiaohu actually ignored the gossipy hip-hop club and went directly to the door of the dance studio to find her in the morning.

Before yesterday, she would have had a huge question mark in her heart.

But today she felt that everything was a bit natural, but the location she chose was really bad.

Fortunately, there was a "tacit understanding" between the two of them at the door. She could tell during the whole process that Wang Xiaohu deliberately did not want everyone to misunderstand. This also showed that Wang Xiaohu was apologizing for yesterday's actions.

This was fulfilled by the other party's proactive apology just now.

At this moment, watching Wang Xiaohu jump up and down to find the air conditioner remote control, she only had one last doubt left in her mind: why did the other party come to see her today?
Are you just discussing the stage? She didn't believe it. The remote control was clearly placed on Teacher Li's piano.

But she didn't remind or interrupt, and she was adapting.

It's like two people suddenly become very close, but then become very far away again the next second.

It was like a school drama that lasted two years was replayed in her mind.

It's like a bridge separated by two years. You are on the other side of the bridge and I am on this side of the bridge.

"I'll go, so it's here?"

Wang Xiaohu finally had to discover the location of the air conditioner remote control.

He picked up the air conditioner remote control and was about to study it again, when he heard a sudden sound from behind him.

"Wang Xiaohu."

His heart trembled and he turned his head.

He saw Qiao Zhizhi with her hands behind her back, tilting her head and smiling at him, which made him feel scared.

"What?" he asked.

Qiao Zhizhi slowly stepped forward, looked into Wang Xiaohu's eyes and asked softly, "Did you always think I liked you?"

A pause, "right?"

This time, Wang Xiaohu was dumbfounded and stood there stupidly.

But it only took a moment for Wang Xiaohu to realize something was wrong.

He asked in an incredible tone, "Don't you like me?"

As he said this, Wang Xiaohu's face gradually revealed a look of ecstasy.

This made Qiao Zhizhi not know what to say for a while, but fortunately Qiao Zhizhi was an activist.

One punch!
"what!!"

A scream echoed through the corridor.
