Chapter 22 I will switch to studying directing so that I can go to class with you...

1825 days, five years of separation, and the broken promise began with the promise she once made.

If Xu Shen hadn't reminded her face to face, Li Su actually never really cared about the promise she made when she was 17 years old.

——Of course she remembered. She remembered everything that happened when she was in contact with Xu Shen.

She just didn't expect that Xu Shen would also remember the details of their childhood contacts, the stupidity she had done, and the words she had said to him.

The memory was strangely fresh, and Li Su recalled it almost effortlessly.

At that time, Li Su, as expected, maintained her ordinariness, and was an almost transparent existence on the edge of the podium.

At that time, Xu Shen was the first on the honor roll as always, and was also a banned name among students because of his mixed reputation.

**

6 years ago. In a provincial key high school.

Students gathered in groups of three or two in front of the honor wall on the school bulletin board, looking at the seven-inch photo at the top, standing alone in a row.

His smooth, thick black hair fell neatly on his forehead, his long, thick eyelashes half covered his bright, dark eyes, his thin lips were red, his features were clear, and his face was delicate and handsome.

"Pa-pa-pa-" his right fist hit his left palm, and Xie Fei, who was standing on the right side of Li Su, frowned and said in frustration: "He doesn't look like someone who can study! How come he only got 725 points? Li Su--you are better at studying than him!"

"..." "

This lousy face, this lousy score! God is still partial!" Cheng Yan, who was standing on the left side of Li Su, like a conductor, stretched out his finger and pointed at the small words in the brackets next to Xu Shen, and said speechlessly: "No. 1 in the whole school, and AKA No. 1 in the whole city? The principal is still low-key, why didn't he hang a loud speaker here to broadcast?"

Li Su, who was hanging aside, couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth at all. She folded her hands and pouted as if to cover up.

She twisted her shoulders proudly, then tilted her head slightly and leaned towards Cheng Yan, covering her mouth with one hand, whispering like a thief, but her voice was very open and aboveboard, and she proudly added, "185, height." Is

she sick? Cheng Yan inexplicably straightened his spine and glared at Li Su, his eyes from top to bottom, and finally landed on her little white shoes, wavering between "step on them and run away" and "a good man doesn't fight with a woman", and finally said in a very yin and yang tone: "Oh, listen to the tone... Auntie, your son? He's well educated."

"..." Li Su choked in his throat and quickly poked Cheng Yan with his arm, muttering: "Old Cheng, you...you don't understand me at all. I'm superficial and focus on appearance. If I wanted to exaggerate, I would just say that he got the tenth level of piano and got 6.5 points in IELTS. Think about it, what can you compare with him?"

"..." Cheng Yan screamed, and like a warrior going to his death, he stepped firmly on Li Su's white shoes, and cursed in an overly formal tone: "Oh my God, you damn woman!"

"Ouch, ouch~~" In fact, it didn't hurt at all, but Li Su looked at Cheng Yan's feet and still cooperated with the artificial wailing.

Xie Fei chuckled, pushed Cheng Yan through Li Su, and said rationally: "She has a sense of collective honor. Think about it, the first place is not hers, she is squatting here and laughing foolishly, with this IQ, why are you angry?"

"......"

"That's right!" Cheng Yan raised his head, tugged at the collar of his school uniform, and came alive again. "After all, we are classmates. Compared with Li Su, we are at least on the same list as Xu Shen."

Xie Fei glanced at Li Su and saw that Li Su's face changed drastically, and changed his tone again, affirming: "But Li Su's emotional intelligence is worth learning! It is better to hold the right thigh than to learn well. Standing on the wind, even pigs can fly. Now we have a good relationship and wait for the wind to rise in the future! Xiao Li, you have to work harder!"

"......" Li Su looked up and down suspiciously at Xie Fei, "You seem to be teaching me how to become a clown step by step."

"......" Xie Fei looked left and right, up and down, and after a while of shifting his eyes, he accidentally found that the boy in the photo was standing behind them.

A ghost-like existence, with a faint chill, fortunately there is still a trace of residual warmth in the corners of the eyes, stained with a trace of imperceptible joy.

"Scary." Xie Fei shuddered and reminded: "Stop chatting, Cao Cao is here!"

"Cao Cao? Walking down Changban Slope alone, the moonlight is too gentle..." Li Su reflexively, like a KTV that has been ordered a song, couldn't help singing.

Together with Cheng Yan, they followed Xie Fei's vision.

Oh~ It's the first place!

"Li Su." Xu Shen's voice was very light, and the arc of the corners of his eyes deepened, revealing an approachable and gentle manner.

"Li Su?" Cheng Yan and Xie Fei repeated in a strange tone, and their eyes shot at Li Su together.

"Uh uh uh." Li Su scratched her itchy cheek uncomfortably. Eyes dodged.

After a brief two seconds of thinking, Li Su reached into her pocket and took out two rolled-up bills. She slowly unwrapped them, handed 10 yuan to Xie Fei in one hand and 5 yuan to Cheng Yan in the other.

Li Su said considerately, "Studying is stressful, right? Go, buy food, spend it!"

Cheng Yan took the money suspiciously, "What about you?"

Li Su pointed his chin towards Xu Shen, and said earnestly, "Dad has something to talk to uncle about."

"Huh?" Cheng Yan lowered his eyes and exchanged attitudes with Xie Fei, confirming that in each other's eyes, the words were consistent, one said "yes" and the other said "illness".

Looking at Li Su again, she adjusted her gray-rimmed glasses... On a face that looks very good at math, physics, and chemistry, seeing such a shy little girl, it's really...

not! Hug the thigh, is the side radical wrong? Why did Li Su do it like "soaking" the thigh? Or does she not know the difference between BP? It's

really hard to explain to the bad students... Cheng Yan moved his lips and was about to speak, but was pushed away by Xie Fei's elbow.

"Children should not interfere in adult matters." Xie Fei pushed Cheng Yan, beat him with three steps and kicked him with two steps, and abducted him.

"That's all you can do! You can get rid of me for 10 yuan? I want 10 yuan too!" Cheng Yan put five yuan in his pocket, cursed and walked away, but couldn't help looking back at Li Su.

A leaf fell, the yellow maple leaf hit her head.

The boy standing opposite took two steps closer, took off the leaf, held the base and twisted it lightly in his palm, the leaves spun, and the wind blew their hair.

Li Su reached into her sleeves and took out a piece of iron wire wrapped with green thread, with a ball of flame paper wrapped around the branch. With her other hand, she took out a lighter and lit it. The flame rushed up, a long wisp.

Li Su skillfully shook it up and down, put the lighter back, held the bottom and quickly swiped it upwards, the flame turned into a blue rose, and the rose was sent to the boy's eyes.

Li Su's eyes were bright, the corners of her mouth were curved to reveal two dimples, and she smiled sweetly, "For you, first place."

A magic trick that is common on the street, a memorable scale of youth.

Xu Shen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took the rose, looked at it again and again, and couldn't see enough.

The green petals made of thin plastic, the blue petals made of gradually hard cloth, the ordinary workmanship that only cleaners would do if they fell on the street...

Xu Shen unknowingly put his nose to the tip of his nose and sniffed, and it was hard to describe the immaturity.

"It's made very realistically, right? This is a fake flower." Li Su lied with her eyes open, smiling embarrassedly. She accompanied Xu Shen, gently pushed him a step, and walked back to the classroom with him.

"..." Xu Shen realized how stupid he had done. He lowered his eyes to look at Li Su and saw that she was looking straight ahead, with curved eyes and curved corners of her mouth.

As if bewitched, as if struck. The dumb man spoke in his dream, and the blind man regained his sight in the darkness.

Xu Shen: "I used to get good grades, and I would only feel relieved because I didn't have to bow my head to him for help. I didn't know that it was so happy to hear the people I care about cheering for me."

After guiding him step by step, Xu Shen looked at Li Su and gently confided: "Li Su, you are the first person who will find ways to congratulate me. You are so good."

"Then don't be too happy too early!" As if afraid of revealing the sound of his heartbeat, Li Su widened his eyes and said fiercely: "I, I, I, I, I have said it before, I will celebrate for you, there will be many days like this in the future, and friendship will last forever!"

The cheers of friends, the faint sound of whistles, the rays of light, and the shade of trees over people's heads.

The blush on the girl's cheeks and the boy's rolling Adam's apple turned into another annotation of silence.

"Dong, Dong, Dong--" The basketball was hit on the ground again and again.

Several teenagers were playing and moving lightly and quickly towards the classroom.

Someone with sharp eyes glanced casually and happened to see Li Su and Xu Shen.

"Hey, look, the little girl is here." The man stretched out his arm and nudged Xu Qie's hand as a warning.

The bounced basketball was not caught properly and flew out.

Xu Qie looked over and saw a blue and white figure squatting down and catching the basketball.

Li Su stood up holding the basketball and looked straight ahead.

Seeing that it was Xu Qie, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Pursing her lips and then letting go, Li Su spoke with an indescribably aggressive tone, "Why are you staring at me? Dare to bully me, I'll tell my dad!"

"Little girl, you're so awesome~" Xu Qie's friends laughed in a sarcastic tone.

Someone else raised an arm and pretended to be a crying little girl, crying one sentence after another: "Dad, dad, someone bullied me at school, someone bullied me and wanted to beat me, dad, dad, please help me--" It

was so disgusting. Xu Qie kicked the person who was acting next to him with disdain. But he felt it was not enough, so he added two punches.

Looking at Li Su again, Xu Qie's eyes were filled with helplessness and speechlessness.

"Li Su, are you kidding me? You're already 17, and you're still acting like a kindergarten kid? You want to sue the parents, the principal, and the Education Bureau. Can't you be more mature?"

"Wrong!" Li Su sternly corrected him, "I only sued the parents! Suing the principal and the Education Bureau was all done by my dad - Xu Qie, look at our family style, it's really frightening to you bad guys with bright futures!"

"Puchi -" Xu Qie was amused by Li Su's shamelessness, rolled his eyes and said, "I really admire your family."

"Thank you, thank you," Li Su smiled shyly, raised his head and chest, and walked towards him seriously.

Handing the basketball back to Xu Qie, Li Su looked at him with a cold and calm gaze, calming his mind.

Li Su: "Xu Qie, actually I'm only 15 years old this year. Besides, you are 17, right? It's a good age to have criminal responsibility. In the future, people who are bullied by you can sue the police and prosecutors. - Xu Qie, do you like your life? Don't do stupid things."

A sincere reminder and rhetorical question, because calmness is more real and solid, it penetrates people's weak points.

Li Su's eyes fell on the people behind Xu Qie one by one. She remembered the faces of these people.

She used to avoid their gazes in fear, but now she faces them bravely. Li Su thought: It should have been like this long ago, and I should have completely turned the page on my past self.

"Let's go." Li Su felt relieved. She turned around, stretched out her hand and briefly held Xu Shen's arm for a second, pulling him forward.

The two of them stood side by side, like two entangled shadows, and slowly moved away.

The boat was getting farther away.

Xu Shen couldn't help but lower his head and glanced at Li Su a few times, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped.

"Are you only 15?" Xu Shen couldn't help but imagine a very young child who was half a head shorter than all his classmates, who seemed to have walked into the first grade of elementary school by mistake.

"Ah——" Li Su looked at Xu Shen, and realized what he was asking. The corners of her mouth curled up a little bit, and she smiled slyly with a meaningful smile: "It's like this, I lied to him again."

Under the narrow gray frame, the girl's eyes were like stars in the night, flickering, and she acted like a fox, playing tricks on people, with a lot of bad intentions, very clever.

"You...you...I was really defeated by you." Xu Shen touched his nose and laughed embarrassedly. "Li Su, I've switched to studying directing, so I can go to classes with you in the future."

"But aren't you good at piano?" Li Su frowned slightly, "If you really get into this industry... you will definitely be compared to your dad, and everyone will think you rely on your dad."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Shen suppressed the calculation in his eyes, his tone was light, but it was convincing, "The disciple surpasses the master, and the river overturns from generation to generation. Didn't you say it? One day, everyone will be proud to know me. My name will definitely be written before his."

Thinking of Director Xu's current honor, Li Su couldn't help but stand in awe. He looked up at Xu Shen, raised his thumb and said, "Awesome. - It just so happens that I'll be a witness and count down for you."

"Okay, use your eyes to take photos of my life, and use your memory to record my life. Li Su, we have a deal. No one will breach the contract." Xu Shen held out his little finger and invited her to pinky promise.

Under the light, warm brown hair, warm brown eyes, as precious as the warm winter sun, quietly watching.

Expecting, praying, secretly invading, lightly exposed, hard hiding.

Li Su, who had just played a trick on Xu Qie, blushed, turned his head sideways, hooked Xu Shen's little finger, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, I'm an honest man. I'm honest."
