Amidst the noise, the four people who had flown into the sky landed on the ground. They fell hard on the bottomless cliff and were instantly crushed into pieces. They didn't believe their ears, but it was the truth.
"Why? We obviously have more votes.”Gao Fengliang ignored the people celebrating and asked the host directly.
"Those supporters who came later were ineffective.”the host said coldly.
"Why? This isn't fair." Gao Fengliang shouted.
"There's nothing fair or unfair about it. This is what the sponsors want. Don't be too naive. There's no absolute fairness in this world.”The emcee's words were as cold as the cold currents in Siberia, freezing their shattered dreams bit by bit.
"Don't be calculative. Is the essence of a competition about winning or losing? Get ready to be the runner-up." The emcee had a mean look on his face.
"The flowers and applause only belong to the champion.”With that, Liangzi turned around and left.
"He's right." Little Shi, Liang Liang. Edward left after saying that. No one cared about being the runner-up.
"You ignorant brats.”Looking at the background of their departure, the supporter said contemptuously,"Is there still fairness in society now? Don't think too highly of yourself."
The four of them were equally stubborn and hot-blooded. None of them paid any attention to the emcee who was trying to curry favor with the powerful. It was a waste of language to talk to him.
The crowd was boiling with excitement. Those guys from No.1 Middle School were immersed in the joy of victory. A few unconventional guys attracted the attention of media reporters, audience fans, and even government officials. These guys received the baptism of victory in the midst of thousands of calls.
Edward and the others were already far away. No one would pay attention to them. The result of the competition was either the champion or death. No one would care about the second place. The second and third place were just a foil to the champion. We all knew that the first person to set foot on the moon was Grandma Strong, but none of us knew who the second person to set foot on the moon was.
The four dejected figures gradually disappeared into the crowd.
"You obviously have more votes, but why are they the champions?”Qin Wen asked like a child, her tone filled with resentment.
"Only the devil knows why." The furious Edward threw out this sentence.
"Then you only woke up early and went to bed late in a month, and you got the runner-up.”Qin Wen was crying out for them.
The four of them didn't answer. Dai Mengni and her classmates from Class Five arrived in silence. Everyone kept asking questions, feeling indignant for them.
"You're here too." Edward ignored their questions and pulled Dai Mengni to a corner.
"Of course I came. Otherwise, how could I live up to the name of the cheerleader? But did I come late and let you get second place?”Dai Mengni's tone slowly turned from happy to sad.
" No…no…" Edward said twice." I'm glad you're here. The runner-up has nothing to do with you."”Sweeping away the haze of failure, Edward felt a little comforted when he saw Damoni.
"Oh, that's good." Dai Mengni replied softly.
Edward was a little curious when he saw that some of his classmates had come.""Why are they all here? Didn't Extinction forbid them from coming? Didn't she say that we're wasting our youth?”
"I lied to them." Dai Mengni felt a little guilty.
"You also know how to lie." Edward was curious. In his heart, Dai Mengni was perfect. He never thought that she would lie.
"What do you think?" Dai Mengni said.
"No matter what, I still have to thank you. Thank you for doing so much for us.”Edward deliberately dragged us out.
"That's useless. I still didn't help you. But I saw you sing. It was really nice.”Dai Mengni praised.
"There's nothing I can do. I'm just saving the situation.”Edward was a little embarrassed.
Liangzi was furious. He didn't know if he was angry because he lost the competition or because he couldn't get the prize money. In short, he was very angry. He ignored the greetings of his classmates and went straight home.
Leng Liang ignored everyone and focused on looking for Sophie, but the result was obvious. He began to worry. He knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, all the students would come and Sophie would not come.
. Lately, Xiao Shi had become more and more cunning. Using the excuse of finding someone to help him carry the drum, he left with Qin Wen.
"Then you won't be angry with me anymore." Edward saw that Dai Mengni had almost forgotten about everything around her, so he randomly found an excuse to chat with her.
Without waiting for Dai Mengni to answer, she grabbed Edward. Her actions were rough, and it was rare to see him like this. "Xiao Sen, come with me."
Edward had no choice but to follow him out of the water park.
On the edge of Longze Lake, the faint fishy smell made them feel a little uncomfortable. The reflection of a few listless lights on the water surface, the tall weeping willows on the lakeside swayed wantonly in the wind, and the shadows of the trees in the distant pavilion were like ghosts. The environment was a little scary.
"What are you doing, brother?”Edward, who was disturbed, was a little angry.
"Let me ask you, did Sophie come by?”Her cool expression was excited and a little anxious.
"No, you're not anxious about losing the competition, but you're anxious about this.”Edward was very doubtful. In the beginning, he was eager to win the championship, but now he seemed to be very indifferent.
"I didn't form a band for the championship.”She answered him firmly.
"Then you were so confident that you wouldn't give up until you won the championship.”Edward asked.
"Isn't it to strengthen your belief in teaming up with me?”Liang Liang was helpless.
"How despicable." Edward pretended to look at him with disdain.
"Then it seems that Liangzi really cares.”Edward changed the subject.
"It's for the prize money. It's a lot of money for him.”replied Liang Liang.
"It should be. We still have more than 2,000 yuan left in our sponsorship fee.”Edward suggested.
"Sure, but I'm afraid he doesn't want it. He's quite stubborn.”Liang Liang was worried.
"Of course we can't give it to him openly. We'll just say that the runner-up also has a bonus and that this is for him.”Edward thought of a solution.
"Alright, then you can give it to him tomorrow." Liang Liang agreed.
They were chatting happily, but Leng Liang suddenly shouted," I'm confused. Did Sophie come or not?"”
" Yes…No…" Edward stuttered.
"Do you have it or not?" Liang Liang was a little angry.
"I came, but I left when I mentioned Yu Xue.”Edward whispered.
"What? He knows that I saw Yu Xue yesterday.”Liang Liang's face instantly flushed under the light, and the veins on her forehead bulged.
"I don't know. Who's Yu Xue? She's your first love.”Looking at the excited Liang Liang, she was also confused for a moment.
"It's ruined. Something happened." With that, he left Edward behind and left like lightning.
Edward was speechless as he looked at the madman-like coldness. He was still thinking about Damoni, but he went back to look for her after seeing the coldness leave.
When she arrived below the stage, she realized that she was no longer there.
"Old Ban, have you seen Dai Mengni?”Edward asked the class monitor.
"She said she had something to do and left." The gorilla's class monitor replied.
"Oh." Edward was a little disappointed.
The passing audience, the noisy fountain, and the gaudy lights made Edward feel a little disappointed. After all, this was the place he hated. He didn't want to stay here any longer. He carried his guitar and slowly left.
Walking alone on the street, he thought about the band he had painstakingly built, but they had lost so badly. Cool Sophie was quite good, and Yu Xue had appeared out of nowhere. What was Dai Mengni doing now? Why was Liangzi so excited? His grandparents had said they would come a long time ago, but there was no news yet. How was his parents 'business? He felt that everything was very complicated. He could not understand it no matter what and was too lazy to think about it. He might as well go to the casserole house to have a few drinks.
Thinking of this, he arrived at the claypot house in a short while. Looking at the dazzling lock on the door, he was even more puzzled. He did not know why even the lady boss had mysteriously disappeared in the past few days. Looking at the familiar surroundings, he felt particularly lonely today.
There were two sides to the story.
On the other side, Leng Liang was calling the number that he would never forget over and over again on a public phone. However, the result was the despairing voice of the service desk,"The number you have dialed is unavailable."”
"Damn it!" He slammed the phone on the landline, cursed to himself, and turned to leave.
He looked for many places, places that Sophie should go, places that she often went, places that she wanted to go, places that she could go, but the result was the same. After a year of contact, he knew Sophie well. She had a strong appearance but a fragile heart. Leng Liang knew her persistence in love. She loved boldly but also obsessively. She was not a real man, but a little girl. Her love was not broad at all. It was always exclusive. Her love was like the eyes. Although they were beautiful and clear, they could not be rubbed with any impurities. Otherwise, they would only be endless tears.
Therefore, Liang Liang knew that she owed her an explanation to prove her innocence.
But now, everything seemed to be more complicated. He couldn't find Sophie in many places. He was worried about her, he was afraid of her, and a heart-wrenching feeling welled up in his heart. He hated himself for not being able to see Yu Xue, but Yu Xue did not love him the same way. Perhaps it was fate that he was destined to be sandwiched between two women and suffer the pain of ten reincarnations.
Xiao Shi had arrived home safely and with Qin Wen's company, he had long since swept away the haze of being the runner-up and fell asleep quietly. His lofty aspirations seemed to have long been worn away by love. Now, he could only see Qin Wen alone.
Liangzi's heart was like a raging Yellow River, and it was hard to calm down. He was furious and unwilling. Why did everything he participated in fail? Was poverty really a lifelong thing? He didn't believe that he wanted to become stronger and stop being humiliated. He was willing to subvert the world and redefine the balance. For this, he was willing to sacrifice everything. The strong desire was like a strong water pressure, pressing down on his heart. Now, it was close to the danger level. One day, it would explode. For the poor, life was a competition.
Edward sat on the side of the road, watching the passing cars. His thoughts drifted into the distance, and Dai Mengni's figure appeared in his mind again, making her even more blurry. She was a fickle girl. Sometimes, she was as charming as water, sometimes as cold as ice, and most of the time, she was as erratic as air. The essence was the same, but there were thousands of forms, making it difficult for him to understand. As he thought about it, he took out his guitar and started singing Andy Liu's " Days Together." The passersby looked at him curiously, but this did not affect his passion for singing at all.
