Back to My Dad’s High School Days

Melon Head followed the class group to the playground. And after seeing that Qin Shiwu’s face didn’t look good, he asked, “What are you doing?”

Recently, Melon Head didn’t dare to talk to Qin Shiwu very much.

Since Qin Shiwu beat Gu Kaifei severely in the class last time, everyone’s impression of him had changed greatly. In addition to that, he was not as gloomy as before. After his hair was cut short, he did not wear glasses, thus revealing a handsome face.

Moreover, Qin Shiwu didn’t heed anyone and revolved around Qin Chu in class. The main point was that even though Qin Chu beat and drove him away, Qin Chu still acquiesced to his behavior.

What was this?

Wasn’t this being covered by Qin Chu!

The arrogant ones who sat in the back seats of the class hadn’t really dared to trouble Qin Shiwu for a while now.

Qin Shiwu looked to the back. There really was no trace of Qin Chu in the class.

His father is toxic!

Qin Shiwu was on the verge of going insane due to his own dad.

Although he was eager to see his father become a dragon1, he did not expect Qin Chu to be emotionally enlightened within a short period of time and pursue Lu Tong relentlessly. But there must be basic principles of life, right?

If you don’t have a good relationship, it’s fine to go to Lu Tong to talk about love, then you’ll be on the right track. But you looked for him to beat him up?!

It’s fine even if you beat him up2, but now everyone knows about it!

My granduncle, his mother was a 24k pure-blood omega without a trace of falsehood! Doesn’t Qin Chu have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex? Is the road so wild? What kind of a man is a man if he beats his wife?！

Qin Shiwu felt his feet to be drifting and he sunk into an unprecedented predicament while holding his forehead.

Melon Head cautiously and solemnly asked, “Qin Shiwu, if are you facing any difficulty, you can tell me. I can help you solve it.”

Qin Shiwu weakly and strengthless glanced at him, “If your dad hits your mother, how will you solve it?”

…… He had asked a question that was in the blind spot of Melon Head’s knowledge.

“This is domestic violence. You can go to the O Rights Association to file a case.”

Qin Shiwu, “What if your dad is not an adult?”

Melon Head, “We are in a youth campus idol novel. Are you asking about the science fiction theme?”

Qin Shiwu turned his head, “Forget it. You won’t understand even if I say it.”

The groups of people crowded and met their classmates from other classes while doing so.

After the acquaintances greeted each other, they all stood on the playground.

The swearing-in ceremony of the Provincial No. 1 High School was held very grandly, and all parents of third year students were required to be present as much as possible. They were all sitting in the audience now.

The senior students also had to walk in square formation and shout slogans.

There were students like Qin Shiwu from high school’s first and second years who were purely there to make up the numbers. Of course, some parents believed that the preparations for the college entrance examination must start from the first year of high school itself. So a small number of parents of first and second-year students were also present at the scene.

The first part was very boring, and the only thing that kept Qin Shiwu interested was the oath that Lu Tong took on behalf of the second year students.

He stretched his neck to look at Lu Tong and was noticed by Melon Head. He started gossiping, “Do you like Lu Tong?”

It is well known that Qin Shiwu’s second gender in this body was an O.

He said, “I like your mother. Would you like to forsake?”

Melon Head shut up.

Lu Tong’s school uniform was neatly dressed. When others wore it, they looked like any ordinary high school student. But when he wore the school uniform, he looked just as if he was from a youth idol drama, and had a typical male lead face.

Qin Shiwu didn’t know why Lu Tong chose to be an actor in the end when his grades were so good. However, from the point of view of the attractiveness index, Lu Tong did not go wrong by taking this path.

He sighed and stared at Lu Tong with sorrowful eyes.

Qin Shiwu seemed to have never understood him very well.

Just as he was grieving over the passing of spring3, the girl behind him suddenly became excited.

Qin Shiwu turned his head to take a look. And it turned out that Qin Chu had walked up from the end of the class line.

Not only were the girls in their own class excited, but even the girls from the next class also looked over frequently. Their eyes were lingering on Qin Chu’s body.

“Attracting bees and butterflies4.” Qin Shiwu “snorted” disdainfully, “Why don’t you chase my mother when you have this ability?”

Lu Tong finished taking the oath on stage and came down through the backstage.

The head of the student union’s Propaganda Department, Wu Ke, stopped him, “Hey school grass, are you free tonight? Wanna go out for a meal?”

Lu Tong stuffed the manuscript into his pants pocket, “Don’t shout. At what time?”

“Don’t worry.” Wu Ke bumped his shoulder, “You can return before the restricted time. We are giving a farewell party for Old Cheng in the evening. He is going abroad next week.”

Lu Tong looked at him, “He’s not taking the third year of high school?”

“His grades won’t farting be enough to get him to the third year. He won’t be able to pass the exam even if the domestic college score line drops by 100%. His family has a lot of money. So he can go abroad for fun. Where can you study without reading?”

After Wu Ke finished speaking, he hurriedly said, “You have to give me some face. I even bragged a lot outside, saying that I’ll definitely invite the school grass over. The little girls in our class are waiting for my reply. If you don’t come, they won’t come either.”

“There is also a girl here that Old Cheng has a crush on. It depends on you whether they can make it or not tonight.”

After Wu Ke finished speaking, a pair of eyes stared at him eagerly.

Although Lu Tong had only a few friends, Wu Ke could also be considered one of them. The two met at the Juvenile Singer Tournament in their first year of high school. Lu Tong was pretty good at singing. When he was in junior high school, he was pushed out by his teachers to participate in this kind of campus competition.

The affiliated middle school that he attended was a junior high school under the No. 1 High School. After he was promoted, the class teacher who took him also discovered this matter and signed him up for the competition without authorization in the first year of high school.

Wu Ke was still a junior executive secretary in the student council at that time. Lu Tong slightly outdid him in the Juvenile Singer Tournament and he took second place. However, he was brazen and admired Lu Tong. So he pestered Lu Tong to be his friend, and Wu Ke got acquainted with him over time.

In his second year of high school, he became the head of the Propaganda Department, and he got busy with all the big and small things in the school. But his gossipy nature was still there – Lu Tong never understood how an alpha could be so gossipy.

Moreover, the first time he heard Qin Chu’s name, it was from Wu Ke’s mouth.

At that time, the Provincial No. 1 High School had just opened.

The summer vacation of the first and second years of high school was only for ten days. Lu Tong had participated in physics competitions in other provinces. So he missed the military training and the welcome ceremony for freshmen year during the summer vacation.

As soon as he came to school, Wu Ke rushed up to him and told him: You are going to lose your position as the school grass.

It was Qin Chu who he was talking about.

He played a violin solo of “Beautiful Rosemary” at the freshman welcome party at the end of the military training, which instantly turned the whole campus forum upside down. No one could listen to how it was played, but everyone could see the face under the spotlight.

It was like a god of heaven had descended to earth and it had astonished audiences with supersaturated hues.

“I remember.” Lu Tong opened his mouth.

When he went to Qin Chu’s room for the first time, he saw a violin hanging on his wall. At that time, he thought Qin Chu had hung it to decorate the room. But he didn’t feel like he seemed to be very proficient in violin.

Wu Ke said, “You do not know it, but during those days, the whole school was discussing Qin Chu. The women in our class almost drove me crazy with their inquiries — Weren’t I the one who was in charge of planning the freshman party? The school committee member in my class swore to me that if I could get Qin Chu’s cell phone number, she would copy all her homework for the second half of the semester for me.”

Lu Tong, “I didn’t take note of it.”

Wu Ke, “Of course, you wouldn’t take note of it. When you came back, everyone went crazy for a while. Later, Qin Chu showed his true colors and ran amok in the school. He was so fierce that he looked like a cold-faced Hades. Who would dare to provoke him? When you fall in love with him, you have to weigh yourself.”

Lu Tong’s body stagnated slightly, and he thought to himself: It’s not that cold, isn’t he just a fierce little ba***?

Wu Ke laughed and suddenly changed the subject, “Do you know that there are requests on the forum for you to perform music with him? Just piano and violin.”

Lu Tong had never heard such a strange request before. He replied, “I ain’t that good at playing piano.”

Wu Ke, “Don’t be modest. Excessive modesty is showing off.”

Lu Tong casually asked, “Perform what?”

Wu Ke rubbed his chin, “…… Salut d’Amour5?”

Lu Tong, “Fu** off.”

Wu Ke said, “I won’t delay you anymore. Remember to come tonight. There is no evening study tonight. Don’t think of getting away.”

Lu Tong, “Got it.”

Forty minutes later, all the oaths and speeches from students, teachers, and the principal were over.

The remaining session was the “give reigns to one’s ideals”.

The session for receiving hydrogen balloons as a family was exclusively for third years, while first and second-years could leave the venue early.

Of course, if you wanted to stay and consult with the admission teachers from various universities, you could also stay on the playground.

Qin Shiwu was not interested in going to any university at all, and the combined scores of him and his father were probably not even half of that of Lu Tong.

As soon as the speech was over, the students on the playground dispersed.

The students were mainly gathering in twos and threes to buy dinner at the entrance of the school.

Qin Shiwu had very good eyesight and he found Qin Chu at a glance.

Qin Chu was surrounded by some girls, standing not far from him. Some of them encouraged their friends to come up and ask for Qin Chu’s contact details, while some of them stumbled and wanted to come up and talk.

After all, it was still a bit difficult to meet Qin Chu in the high school, and this was such a rare opportunity that no one wanted to miss.

Qin Shiwu got angry when he saw it. He jumped up like a bunny and said while waving his hand, “Go, go, go. Go, go, go!”

A bunch of girls was all chased away by him.

Qin Shiwu said, “Dad, don’t you have some concept of chastity? If my mother finds out that you are attracting bees and butterflies like this, he would be so angry that he6 would spurt out blood!”

He was just talking nonsense.

If Lu Tong could really get jealous because of this, Qin Shiwu would be able to eat two more bowls of rice.

Qin Chu had gotten used to Qin Shiwu calling him father in private. He tried to correct him, but it wasn’t of much use.

Which high school students haven’t had the desire to be a father to their peers?

Qin Chu, “Who is your mother? Will you only give the trailer but not spoilers?”

Qin Shiwu pretended to be deaf and mute and said, changing the subject very skillfully, “I’m starving. So I’ll go to the school entrance to buy something to eat.”

He looked around for a while, “Where is Lu Tong? He must not have eaten either. Let’s eat together.”

When Lu Tong was mentioned, Qin Chu finally opened his mouth, “Why do you care about him so much?”

Qin Shiwu said, “He…… We can also be considered friends. Is it not a natural trivial matter to care about your friend’s health, diet, and daily life!”

Qin Chu paused for a moment and spoke, “…… You are right.”

Qin Shiwu rarely saw his own father understand things properly. So he struck while the iron was hot, “You text Lu Tong to come to the school gate to find us. I’ll go to the snack counter at the gate to buy something to pad my stomach.”

Qin Chu took out his phone and before he could send a text message to Lu Tong, his phone vibrated on its own.

The caller was an unfamiliar number, along with seven or eight text messages, each of which was unread. Qin Chu directly deleted the text messages without even looking at them.

Qin Shiwu sharp eyes saw it and he asked, “Who was it?”

A sudden buzz came from beside him.

“Fuck! There is a Maybach parked in front of the school, huge money, luxury cars ah!”

History
Elgar finished the piece in July 1888, when he was romantically involved with Caroline Alice Roberts, and he called it “Liebesgruss” (‘Love’s Greeting’) because of Miss Roberts’ fluency in German. On their engagement she had already presented him with a poem “The Wind at Dawn” which he set to music and, when he returned home to London on 22 September from a holiday at the house of his friend Dr. Charles Buck in Settle, he gave her Salut d’Amour as an engagement present.

The dedication was in French: “à Carice”. “Carice” was a combination of his wife’s names Caroline Alice, and was the name to be given to their daughter born two years later.

It was published a year later by Schott & Co., a German publisher, with offices in Mainz, London, Paris and Brussels. The first published editions were for violin and piano, piano solo, cello and piano, and for small orchestra. Few copies were sold until Schott changed the title to “Salut d’Amour” with Liebesgruss as a sub-title, and the composer’s name as ‘Ed. Elgar’. The French title, Elgar realised, would help the work to be sold not only in France but in other European countries.

The first public performance was of the orchestral version, at a Crystal Palace concert on 11 November 1889, conducted by August Manns.[4] The first recording of that version was made in 1915 for The Gramophone Company with an orchestra conducted by the composer. As a violin-and-piano piece Salut d’Amour had been recorded for The Gramophone & Typewriter Ltd (predecessor to The Gramophone Company) as early as 1901 by Jacques Jacobs, leader/director of the Trocadero Restaurant orchestra. Auguste van Biene recorded a cello transcription in 1907.
