Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 185: Wherever you go, all mountains and seas can be leveled.

At almost half past four, the "group of six" was all present.

The other people were also quite surprised by the senior sister's arrival. But... to be honest, even Lu Yao, everyone was used to the senior sister's "die-hard fan".

Although there are only a few performances now, she has never missed a single one.

Especially the last time I was at Jiaotong University, I actually chose to skip the closed training camp to come out and watch...

When they heard this from Lu Yao, they all felt a great sense of accomplishment.

How die-hard a fan is this?
Even if everything is closed, you can still climb over the wall to get out.

What's more...Senior Bai Yao is so popular.

The school celebrity turned out to be our die-hard fan.

After everyone was gathered, Lu Yao and Wei Qianqian led them inside.

No one said what they were here for.

Because Lu Yao was ranked number one on the honor roll at the school gate.

I entered simply by scanning my face.

After entering the school, it was still early, so Lu Yao and Wei Qianqian took them for a stroll... Actually, there wasn't much to stroll around, after all, all public schools are similar.

On the contrary, it was Mr. Xu who pointed at several buildings and asked questions curiously.

"Hey, I just realized... your school doesn't have a swimming pool?"

Except for Bai Yao, the other four looked speechless.

Zhang Lina asked;
"What do you mean? Is there one in your school?"

"Yes, I have."

Mr. Xu looked calm:
“Swimming pools, gyms, clubs… they all have it.”

"...dog owner."

Zhang Lina complained mercilessly.

"So what do you usually do at school?"

"……go to school."

"Nonsense, how could I not know about school? I mean, what about extracurricular activities? This... is really a bit monotonous. There is only a playground... well, the grass is artificial."

"What do you usually do in school?"

"There are so many. Swimming, fencing, performing... occasionally playing tennis, or sneaking into the equestrian club to skip classes..."

"You're still riding horses at school? Why don't you go to heaven!"

"We don't ride horses in school, but our school has a partnership with the equestrian club..."

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. Lu Yao couldn't bear to listen any longer and covered his mouth directly:
"Shut up, you idiot! We are students, and our most important task is to study hard!"

"Woo woo woo... Bah! Didn't my buddy go to Fuhua even though he didn't study hard?"

“Ah~~~~~~~”

These words were met with disgust from everyone, including Lu Yao.

Lu Yao knew that private schools might be outrageous...but what Mr. Xu said still made him want to kick him.

After going around in circles, I finally arrived at the auditorium and met Liu Bin, Li Dushe and others.

The reunion of teachers and students is also a beautiful story.

You know what... Although Lu Yao and Wei Qianqian called him "Li the Poisonous Snake", they still felt a sense of intimacy from the bottom of their hearts after seeing Teacher Li.

The thoughts that Li Dushe was "abnormal", "inhuman", and "absurd" have long since turned into a thing of the past and a beautiful memory. In this respect, the friendship between teachers and students in the third year of high school is actually similar to that in the army.

The two sides introduced themselves to each other, exchanged greetings and chatted.

From Lu Yao's perspective, Teacher Li today, whether in temperament or other aspects... is much more brilliant than when he taught him.

Then, everyone walked into the auditorium.

On the podium, the drum set and keyboard have been placed.

Zhao Hang walked over, tried it, and made some slight adjustments.

As for the others, they all brought their own instruments and didn’t need to make any adjustments.

Then we sat in the front row of the auditorium and chatted.

One after another, the senior high school students arrived.

Lu Yao looked at the tired-looking juniors and seniors in school uniforms and glasses, and said to Wei Qianqian beside him:
“It really seems like a lifetime ago.”

The monitor, who no longer looked like a high school girl, nodded.

Feel the same.

However, she still lowered her voice and asked Lu Yao with a fragrant breeze:

"Are you sure you're off script?"

"Are you sure? What else can I do now? It's too late to write it at the last minute."

"..."

Wei Qianqian shook her head helplessly.

Soon, the school staff in charge of coordination came to them and said to Lu Yao:
"Student Lu Yao, come over here, we'll start right away."

……

"Next, we would like to invite Lu Yao, a proud student who graduated from our school in 2010 and won the top score in the national college entrance examination with a total score of 720, to come on stage and share his learning experience with us. Please welcome him with applause!"

"Hua la la la la..."

As Liu Bin spoke, Lu Yao, who was standing on the side, straightened his clothes and walked onto the stage.

After the two shook hands, he stood in front of the podium.

He first thanked Liu Bin and his alma mater for their training in a very formal way, then expressed that he was honored to be standing on the stage. Then, he got to the point.

In fact, the Nanyang Model School auditorium is quite large, but today only senior high school students were there, so everyone in the auditorium was concentrated in the middle area, leaving other places somewhat empty.

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on him.

Lu Yao took a deep breath and said:
"In fact, to be honest, when Teacher Liu called me and hoped that I could share my learning experience with my juniors, I was quite nervous."

His expression, which was so formulaic just now, gradually began to become lively.

"Because... I don't think my own learning experience is suitable for everyone. And if what I say is not suitable for everyone, then for those who are not suitable, today's speech is actually equivalent to wasting one or two hours of everyone's time."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people showed surprised expressions.

Obviously... Lu Yao's words were very straightforward.

So straightforward that many of them hadn't expected it.

Including the teachers sitting in the front row.

Lu Yao glanced at the camera facing him and continued:

"For example, is there anyone who likes to listen to music while doing homework? Please raise your hand if you have this habit."

Many people in the audience raised their hands.

Wei Qianqian turned to Zhang Lina next to her and said:

"He's pretty relaxed."

"Ah."

The bassist nodded slightly:
“It feels like a pyramid scheme guru.”

"..."

The former school beauty's mouth twitched.

I thought your little mouth was really sweet.

On the stage.

Lu Yao smiled and said:

"Look. Many people like to do this, and so do I. So, for those who don't like to be disturbed by sounds in their ears when thinking, if I recommend to you what songs I like to listen to when thinking, do you think it will be useful? ... It's useless, right?"

As he spoke, he nodded:
"So, I decided that what I want to share with you today is not some learning experience, or how to stay focused, or how to solve a certain exercise... What I want to talk about today is what you can gain when you work hard."

He casually pointed to the blank screen behind him:
"I wanted to make a few more slides, but just like the example I just gave, if I put up a slide about what happened on the Fuhua campus, other people who are interested in applying to Peking University and Tsinghua University might think it's a waste of time. So, today I will just give an oral presentation... Just treat it as me being perfunctory and lazy, okay?"

"Hahaha."

There were bursts of laughter from the audience.

"OK, then, the first thing I want to talk about is the difference between universities. Um... it's like this. I know someone, let's call her A for now. A is my friend, someone I met by chance. She is from a county town in Shanxi Province, and now she is working hard in Shanghai. She just applied for Fuhua's adult education class two days ago.

We all know that the requirement for applying for adult education classes is a junior college degree, and A, her academic performance is not good, and she only has a junior college degree. And just last month, one day, she came to the school to find me and asked me to take her around Fuhua, wanting to see what the university she applied for is like..."

Master Xu was stunned.

Seems to understand something.

Then Lu Yao on the stage continued:
"Our first stop was the school gate. I took her to the school and she said to me: Luyao, I don't know if it's an illusion. It feels like... Fuhua is different from the technical college I studied before. I asked her what it felt like, and her answer was... it felt very sacred."

This time, Master Xu rolled his eyes.

Still a long way to go...

It’s obviously Brother Lu.

"And my answer was: No, just ordinary. She said: Different, really different. I was curious, and she pointed to the sky: Look at the sky, how blue it is."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Lu Yao suddenly made a little joke, which made everyone laugh.

He shrugged and said, "Okay. Then, we came to the second stop, Danyuan Restaurant, which is also the cafeteria. Here, I have a small question. Does anyone know the price of the dishes in Danyuan Restaurant?"

No one raised their hands.

Seeing this, he nodded:
"Okay, then everyone, follow me as your guide and continue walking... Come, let's go into the restaurant. After entering, the first thing my friend A asked me was: Lu Yao, do you have Western food here? She saw a bakery stand in the restaurant, which sold croissants, baguettes, and other very Western-style meals. I said to her: Fuhua also has international students, and international students must miss the taste of their hometown. Then... I took her to eat a bowl of knife-cut noodles. Pay attention, here comes the point. I said before that she is from Shanxi Province, and I took a native of Shanxi Province to eat a bowl of Shanxi knife-cut noodles in Fuhua's Danyuan Restaurant."

"Hahaha……"

Another low laugh was heard.

At this time, Lu Yao asked:
"Does anyone know how much a bowl of knife-cut noodles costs at a normal snack shop?"

"Eight dollars."

"Ten yuan, eight yuan is called boiled water noodles."

"About ten dollars."

Listening to the voices of his classmates, Lu Yao nodded:

"Ten yuan, right? Then do you know the price of a bowl of knife-cut noodles at Fuhua Restaurant?"

He didn't show off, he just raised five fingers:

"Five dollars. Such a big bowl..."

After gesturing the width of a bowl, he continued:

"There are about seven or eight thumb-sized pieces of beef, some vegetables, and half a boiled egg. And this bowl costs five dollars. Is it cheap?"

“Cheap~~”

Hearing the responses from his classmates, Lu Yao smiled and said:

"In Danyuan Restaurant, a chicken drumstick is 2 yuan. Vegetarian dishes are 5 yuan, meat dishes are or yuan... In other words, in school, we can eat our fill with yuan, or even less than yuan. With yuan, we can have meat, vegetables, and eggs, and we can eat well. Do you know why?"

“There are subsidies.”

Someone responded immediately.

And it doesn’t feel that strange, because the food in Nanyang Model’s canteen is also very cheap and tastes good.

"Yes, there are subsidies. However, the annual budget of each school is different. Some schools have more, some schools have less. Or to be more realistic, the better the school, the more subsidies and the better conditions. And the schools with average performance have average subsidies, and the teaching, humanities, and teacher environment are also average. Do you understand this?"

Although no one responded, Lu Yao saw them nodding.

So he continued:
"My friend A looked at the bowl of noodles with diced beef and asked me: This bowl of noodles is only five yuan? Guess what I answered? I told her: Yes, that's right. This is the meaning of reading."

"..."

The whole place fell silent.

Afterwards, thunderous applause was initiated by the teachers and quickly followed by the students.

As people who have experienced it, including Liu Bin, they obviously empathize with Lu Yao's words more.

Amid the applause, Lu Yao shrugged and continued:
"Look, this is what I want to tell you today. I won't talk about any study methods, experience, or even... I know you are under a lot of pressure, because at this time last year, I was just like you, buried in countless piles of papers, just to get a ticket that could change my future, and even change the future of our family, in less than a hundred days.

So, here, I feel that I have an obligation to tell you today what your efforts are for, and what advantages your efforts will bring you in the future... Please believe me, every paper you have written, every exercise you have done, will not let you down in the future. They are all witnesses of your journey and the cornerstones to help you achieve glory! Every word and every stroke will not be in vain. Exercises are like mountains, knowledge is like the sea, and wherever you go, mountains and seas can be leveled. "

"Crash la la la..."

Now, teachers don’t need to take the lead.

The students' applause once again drowned him out.

This time, even Wei Qianqian and the others did not escape.

……

"You have a great student."

A song "Flowers" had just ended, and Liu Bin applauded while speaking to Li Linjiang next to him.

The middle-aged teacher, who is still known as "Li Dushe" in the mouths of this class of students, nodded vigorously with a proud look on his face.

Yes, this is my student.

"Next, it's the last song."

On the stage, Lu Yao casually placed his hands on the guitar and continued speaking into the microphone:

"In fact, when Director Liu contacted me before, he gave me an hour and a half. I was supposed to share my learning experience for an hour and a half, and then everyone should go back to study. But... to be honest, we all came from the third year of high school, and we know how hard it is. So, Director Liu and I discussed it. Today, I want everyone to have a good rest. We will bring you a performance so that everyone can take a last breath before embarking on the final journey."

"oh!!!!!"

When they heard that they would not have to study in the evening, the students in the audience immediately cheered.

Then, someone shouted:
"Senior is awesome!!!"

The students were stunned.

Then there was laughter.

It looks like he's seen the show live.

Lu Yao nodded with a smile and continued:

"Well, today, I will bring you one last song. I also hope that everyone can have a good sleep tonight, and then... believe me, fellow students, there is only one last step left. Grit your teeth, go all out, and don't let go with your last breath. When you are admitted to the university of your choice, you will find that every step you have taken now will not be in vain. Okay?"

"good!!!!!"

The response was overwhelming.

Amid everyone's high morale, Lu Yao nodded:
“Okay, the last song, “Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart”, is dedicated to all the juniors and seniors of Nanyang Model High School who are about to take the college entrance examination. I hope you all get what you want and achieve success in your studies. We will cheer for you!”

"Dong dong dong dong..."

Amid Zhao Hang's passionate and uplifting drum beats, Lu Yao's tacit singing rang out in the auditorium:
"Where is the world full of flowers~"

"If it really existed then I would definitely go..."

“I want the highest mountain to stand there.”

“I don’t care if it’s a cliffhanger…”

……

“Run forward!!!!”

On the stage, veins bulged on Lu Yao's neck.

It made the loudest sound yet.

Below the stage, Bai Yao's eyes were gradually filled with obsession.

Looking at the person screaming hard on the stage, I sang along softly:
"Keep running!"

"With pure pride!"

“How can you see the brilliance of life if you don’t persist~”

"Without it!"

"It's better to burn with passion than to linger on!"

"One day it will sprout..."

She knew that this song was undoubtedly the most appropriate at this moment.

The boy who shines as brightly as the stars on the stage...uses his singing to tell everyone in the audience and uses his attitude to depict the brilliant future in his eyes.

She also likes this song.

Even during the closed training period, when she felt tired, exhausted, sore, or painful, she would listen to this song to motivate herself over and over again.

But now...

The fire in her heart burned brighter and brighter with this song.

It's not just songs anymore.

No longer... just a song.

That fire was sublimated.

That is light.

Such a dazzling light.

It lit up her whole world.

……

A little after 8 o'clock, the performance officially ended.

Lu Yao was the first to leave the auditorium amid the greetings of "Goodbye, senior" and "See you at Fuhua, senior".

Then came the students, who walked out feeling relaxed and happy in every sense of the word.
