Chapter 120 I'm Not Nervous This Way
The gymnasium of No. 1 Middle School is located in the southwest corner of the school.
When passing by the road in front of the school gate, the most eye-catching things are the gymnasium and library located on both sides of the school gate.
Parents enter from the main gate facing south of the gymnasium, which is a standard indoor basketball court.
On both sides are stands for spectators.
Under the guidance of Hua Xiuxiu, the parents of Class 8 walked up the stairs to the right and then could choose a seat to sit down.
The entire stadium can accommodate about two thousand spectators.
For this rock club performance, the stands on the left were not open, so only the stands on the right were needed to accommodate more than 600 parents.
Li Guohong walked up the steps and looked above the audience seats. He easily saw the figure of his wife.
At this time, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong were treated similarly in Class 8 and were surrounded by parents.
Fortunately, everyone had already finished chatting on the way to the tour, so everyone was quiet at this moment.
After all, we are all middle-aged people with limited physical strength. After wandering around the school, we felt tired and sat down to take a rest.
Li Guohong stood at the lower position and waved to Lin Xiuhong quickly.
Seeing Li Guohong's signal, Lin Xiuhong stood up and walked to the next few rows.
"What's the matter?" Lin Xiuhong asked curiously, "Why are you calling me?"
"Let's sit together." Li Guohong took Lin Xiuhong's hand and sat on the chair over here.
Yuan Wanqing, who was standing by, blinked in surprise, thinking she had seen it wrong. She glanced at the two people holding hands a few more times, but was still a little slow to react.
Why is Li Luo's father so casual?
Just pull someone else's mother like this?
Perhaps noticing Yuan Wanqing's strange look, Li Guohong quickly pulled Lin Xiuhong to introduce her, "This is my wife, Xiuhong, and this is Li Luo's deskmate Yan Zhusheng's mother."
"Hello, hello." Lin Xiuhong greeted Yuan Wanqing with a smile, "I'm Li Luo's mother."
"Hello." Yuan Wanqing looked surprised, so she sat down in the empty seat next to Li Guohong and asked curiously, "You have two children in your family?"
"No, no." Li Guohong waved his hand. "It's just that a very good friend of mine has a child who also goes to the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School. He himself is not free, and since our two families have a good relationship, he came to help."
"I see." Yuan Wanqing nodded in understanding, but did not ask any further questions.
After explaining it clearly, Li Guohong said to Lin Xiuhong: "Let me tell you, you missed a great opportunity by not attending Li Luo's parents' meeting this time."
As he said this, Li Guohong was extremely pleased with himself, and the smug smile on his face seemed to have been suppressed in his heart for decades and finally burst out in one day, as if he could no longer hold it back.
"What's going on?" Lin Xiuhong glanced at him and saw that the guy's mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear. She immediately felt amused and guessed what was going on, but still asked, "Could it be possible that Li Luo could have scored better than Xixi?"
"Look at what you said. No matter how good Li Luo is, can he compare with Xixi?" Li Guohong sighed, thinking that this woman was really a bummer. "We should compare with ourselves. Guess how much Li Luo has improved since the last exam?"
"How many?"
"Three hundred! Did you hear that clearly? A full three hundred!" Li Guohong held up three fingers and shared it with his wife excitedly. He looked carefully at Lin Xiuhong's face, expecting her to show a shocked expression.
But Lin Xiuhong couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I knew the boy's grades during the parents' meeting just now. He was ranked 27th in the school."
"What the hell?" Li Guohong was stunned for a moment. "Your class is holding a parents' meeting, and you're also introducing the results of other classes?"
"What do you know?" Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes at him. "He's the only one in the top 40 students in the school this time who is in a parallel class. The head teacher of that class used Li Luo as an example and severely criticized those parents."
At this point, Lin Xiuhong couldn't help but snickering, "I really didn't expect that students in key classes would also be scolded. From this point of view, parallel classes are better, the pressure is not that great. Anyway, Li Luo's grades are so good, so it doesn't matter if he is in a key class or not."
"That's true." Li Guohong nodded. After realizing that he couldn't show off this news, he had to change his strategy. He pointed to the field below and asked, "Do you know what we're going to do here?"
"Isn't it just listening to the rock club sing?"
"It seems like you don't know this time." Li Guohong laughed, "Didn't Xixi tell you?"
"That girl." Lin Xiuhong blinked and looked around before saying, "I don't know either. After she sent us here, she disappeared immediately. I don't know where she went."
"I roughly guessed where Xixi went." Li Guohong said, "You don't know, your son is in this rock club."
"Ah?" Lin Xiuhong was stunned for a moment, not quite reacting. "What is he doing in the rock club? Running errands?"
In Lin Xiuhong's impression, their Li Luoke had never learned any musical instrument, so how could he be involved with the rock club.
Li Guohong was somewhat puzzled about this, but he still said, "Li Luo was in charge of playing the guitar. I don't know when he learned it."
"What the hell?" Lin Xiuhong was a little surprised, thinking she had heard it wrong, "That guy can play the guitar?"
"I don't know either. It was the deputy monitor of their class who told us in public. Yan Zhusheng's mother should have heard it, right?" Li Guohong turned his head and looked at Yuan Wanqing, "And Yan Zhusheng is the lead singer of their family."
"Yes, I heard it too." Yuan Wanqing nodded slightly, then glanced at the couple with a little surprise in her eyes.
After all, as the creator of "Annual Rings", Yuan Wanqing naturally learned the details from Luo Fei after the contract was signed, and she knew that the song was created by Li Luo, not Yan Zhusheng.
Logically speaking, those who can write this kind of pop song, although their knowledge of music theory may not be very high, must have had some exposure to and learned it.
Judging from the reactions of Li Guohong and his wife, could it be that Li Luo never seriously studied music since childhood?
Thinking of this, Yuan Wanqing added: "But learning guitar is not too difficult. If it's just one or two songs, just memorize the music and become more proficient, then you should be able to learn it quickly." After listening to Yuan Wanqing's knowledgeable talk about music, Lin Xiuhong leaned over and took a closer look at her.
The next second, she suddenly looked puzzled and said to Yuan Wanqing, "Hey, Yan Zhusheng's mother, why do I think you look like that, that... who is that?"
As she spoke, Lin Xiuhong pushed Li Guohong's arm and asked hurriedly, "You like that guy, right? The one who sang. He was very popular in 01."
"As for Yuan Wanqing, I know her." Li Guohong waved his hand. "When we sat together before, I felt that she looked very similar to Yan Zhusheng's mother."
Li Guohong obviously didn't care too much and didn't think that the mother of his son's deskmate would be a celebrity.
Even though Yuan Wanqing's comeback has not been as successful as expected, her current popularity and traffic still make her a second- or third-tier singer.
It's not something that ordinary people can encounter just by saying so.
And it happened at my son’s parent-teacher conference.
What's more, Li Guohong had never heard of any news about Yuan Wanqing getting married before, so how could she have a daughter?
But just when Li Guohong was thinking this, Yuan Wanqing smiled and introduced herself to the two of them softly: "I am Yuan Wanqing. Please don't tell anyone. I don't want Zhu Sheng to be disturbed."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong's computers suddenly went offline.
Lin Xiuhong was fine, she just opened her mouth in surprise, she didn't expect that she could actually meet such a big star in real life, it felt quite magical.
Li Guohong was extremely shocked at this moment, his face full of disbelief. He turned his head to look at Yuan Wanqing, looking her up and down carefully, and the more he looked, the more he felt that she resembled him.
"You, you really are?" Li Guohong tried to lower his voice and rubbed his hands, but he still couldn't hide his excitement and embarrassment.
After seeing Yuan Wanqing nod with a helpless smile and admit it again, Li Guohong suddenly felt a little at a loss, and said awkwardly: "Oh, you said this matter."
"When I first saw you, I thought you looked very similar, but I didn't dare to recognize you because I was afraid it would be impolite if I recognized the wrong person."
"I really like your new songs, especially the one called "Dancing Like a Dream", which you sang so well!"
"How can I think of the past ten years of life and death~ It's like a dream, so unforgettable~"
As he spoke, Li Guohong hummed two lines of the climax of the chorus in order to prove the purity of his fans.
It's just that the tone is really not flattering.
"That's enough." Lin Xiuhong patted her husband, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You sang so badly. You ruined the song."
"Thank you for your support." Yuan Wanqing also rarely showed a sincere smile, and her favorable impression of Li Guohong's family suddenly increased a lot.
I feel like this family is really genuine and lovely.
I didn't expect that I would meet one of my ten-year fans at a parent-teacher conference.
……
"How are you prepared?"
In the activity room on the second floor, Xu Youyu leaned against the wall, crossed his arms, and asked the members of the rock club with a smile, "Is this your first time performing on stage? Don't be too nervous."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of them." Shao Youpeng patted his chest and assured Xu Youyu with a happy look on his face.
He didn't expect that Xu Youyu would come to their lounge to cheer him up, which instantly made him full of energy.
After a while, the door of the activity room was pushed open again.
Ying Chanxi poked his head in from outside, and when he saw Li Luo, he walked over to him with a smile and patted his shoulder: "Don't get so nervous that you pee your pants later."
"You underestimate me." Li Luo rolled his eyes at her.
Xie Shuchen, who was standing by, was also excited the moment he saw Ying Chanxi come in: "You are here too? Will you be able to see our performance later?"
"Yes." Ying Chanxi nodded, "I came here with the parents and will be in the stands later."
Xie Shuchen didn't expect that Ying Chanxi would be there this time. He suddenly became more energetic and his heart started pounding.
"Alright." Xu Youyu clapped his hands. "The instruments have been moved downstairs for you. They have been tested and there are no problems. The parents are all here, so we can set off."
"Let's go!" As the president, Niu Qingling took the lead and walked out with four members.
Ying Chanxi followed them and shouted with a smile: "Come on, guys. I'll go back to the stands first."
"Come on." Xu Youyu also said with a smile, "I'll go with Xixi."
The encouragement from the two dream girls immediately activated the souls of Xie Shuchen and Shao Youpeng. They wished they could appear on the stage right now and show their best side.
Li Luo just smiled and waved his hand, then walked towards the stage downstairs shoulder to shoulder with Yan Zhusheng.
"Are you nervous?" Li Luo turned his head and asked.
Yan Zhusheng thought about it and subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but immediately nodded: "Yeah, a little bit."
After saying that, she raised her hand, clenched it into a fist, and stretched it towards Li Luo.
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then he also stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, lightly touching her small fist in mid-air.
"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded with satisfaction, silently retracted his hand, then clenched his fist with his other hand and gently stroked it, "This way I won't be nervous anymore."
