"Mr. Wang, it's the fourteenth time this month that Zhang Ning has been destroying the environment in the lilac garden! You have to control him!" Wang Hanbing stepped through the door of the office by grabbing a teenager covered in dirt. This Wang Hanbing is the whole school is known for the thunder and lightning, this covered in mud teenager called Zhang Ning, a living skipped class ghost.
Teacher Wang was still concentrating on preparing his lessons, he was a trainee teacher who had just come in this semester, not very old and loved activities. When he saw the two teenagers walking towards him, he didn't care about Wang Hanbing's "report", but handed them two scripts: "What a coincidence, I just want to go and look for you two. The script of 'Lilac Campus' has been finalized, take a look, I think this script is very suitable for you two."
Wang Hanbing took the script and flipped through it roughly, "Teacher Wang, is this plot line of yours about two teenagers working together at Lilac Campus to get into a good high school?" Teacher Wang nodded. Wang Hanbing stared at the script with both eyes for a long time before reacting to the fact that he was one of the main characters, and the mud-covered truant ghost head next to him was the second main character in the script he was talking about! But looking at Mr. Wang's face full of determination, he couldn't say anything else, besides, Mr. Wang was only 27 or 28 years old, often coming up with strange ideas to catch them off guard, this kind of occasional impulsive ideas Wang Hanbing had already taken for granted, so he was only slightly surprised.
Zhang Ning nodded his head pretentiously, "Yes, yes, the main characters are ...... me and Wang Hanbing?!" He was surprised to run down the cast list bit by bit, it was clearly written: protagonist B - Zhang Ning, "Mr. Wang, are you serious ......" Zhang Ning's expression was complicated, not knowing because of the Mr. Wang's trust and feel excited and grateful, or because he had to train with Wang Hanbing and feel desperate.
Teacher Wang looked at the two of them and didn't answer Zhang Ning's question, but said calmly, "This is a citywide performance, which is related to our school's reputation, so I have temporarily decided that all of you can go to rehearsals for the secondary subjects such as physical education, music, microcomputer and so on. The competition is next month, the place is in our school."
In the afternoon gym class Zhang Ning was detained in the classroom by Wang Hanbing to memorize her lines, Wang Hanbing smoothed it over and said, "This script is more in line with you and me, so you just need to control your emotions, you don't have to memorize your lines to death. Come on, run through the words first and we'll walk through it in five minutes."
Zhang Ning was sleepy when she saw the densely written words, "Big class president, you are really like your name, your heart is already chilled to the freezing point, isn't it good to relax? Anyway, there's still a month left, there's no need to arrange it in such a hurry." Wang Hanbing ignored him and leaned against the window to memorize his lines.
Five minutes later. "Okay, let's walk through the first scene." Wang Hanbing held the script in his right hand hanging down by his side, his lines coming out of his mouth, "It's you again! You've broken the rules no less than ten times! Why don't you ever change your ways!"
Zhang Ning was caught off guard by what was said, "How did it start ...... cough, big class president! I will definitely change next time!" "Stop, stop, stop, where are the lines right? The first sentence is not the second! Just started how to go wrong! What did you do just now when I asked you to read the script? That's not how feelings work! Put away your expression, can you still smile if you're caught?" Wang Hanbing called out "stop" and severely criticized.
Zhang Ning also lost her temper, "I'm not you, you have a great memory, you're great, you can memorize it in five minutes! I can memorize it! And where do you, an honor student, get the confidence to think that students who skip class don't laugh when they're caught! You're playing a student, not a teacher!" As a result of this rehearsal, the smell of gunpowder flared up before the rehearsal even started.
With a bang, a soccer ball bounced into the classroom from outside. Zhang Ning and Wang Hanbing looked at the sound, and Mr. Wang stood in the doorway and asked them to come over.
Mr. Wang brought a soccer ball and stood next to the lilac garden, he asked Zhang Ning: "Can you kick it?" Zhang Ning replied, "A little bit." "Go, go to the soccer field, you and Wang Hanbing a team, the three of us kick a game."
At the command, the game began.
Mr. Wang ran towards the goal with the ball little by little, Zhang Ning shoveled the ball, but the shovel was empty, Zhang Ning could only look at Wang Hanbing who was by the goal: "Tablemate, look at the ball!" Wang Hanbing did not wait to react, the ball has already entered the goal.
"Can you do it? If you can't, go be a goalie!"
"You don't have to be good at kicking to signal where the ball is." Wang Hanbing "politely" returned the comment.
The two of them argued for the whole game and ended up losing in a big way. As Mr. Wang watched the two of them accusing each other the topic gradually led to the script, he sighed slightly and first muttered, "You still don't get it." Then he shouted, "That's enough!" The two instantly stopped talking - Mr. Wang opened his mouth and got angry for once, "Do you guys always feel that the other person is dragging you down? Re! Especially when it comes to this aspect of acting, you've never acted before, neither of you have any experience, where are you going to find a sense of superiority? Wang Hanbing! You do take things seriously, but you have to consider the feelings of others, 'Be strict with yourself and lenient with others', it's not like you don't understand this! As for Zhang Ning, if you can't even do the basic seriousness to accomplish something, how can you talk about completing the performance properly and practically? Don't take the next class you guys, go to the lilac garden and give me a good introspection and reflection!" Said picked up the soccer ball and left.
In the first few minutes, both of them were too embarrassed to speak first, or Wang Hanbing coughed first, before Zhang Ning hesitantly asked in a small voice, "Tablemate, I really don't treat these things seriously enough, I admit my fault." Wang Hanbing let out a "hmmm", "I'm also in the wrong, anyway, this class can't be listened to, I've brought the script with me, are you interested in reading it?" Zhang Ning nodded, and Wang Hanbing analyzed, "Look at this place, you can't show up in a big way at the beginning, because you're skipping class now, and a big way doesn't fit in this place ......."
The first time Zhang Ning listened so attentively, Wang Hanbing simply told him, "I can't listen to this class anyway, I've got something wrong.
Wang Hanbing had memorized almost everything just by telling him once, so the rehearsal between the two in the lilac garden went unexpectedly smoothly, and the two of them finished their scripts and enthusiastically exchanged a high-five.
Mr. Wang quietly walked to a short distance to watch, he saw the two teenagers in the lilac bush, very committed to the script, a full of dirt, a cold as frost, and at this time, the dirt seems to become clean, frost also seems to melt a little bit, Mr. Wang smiled reassuringly, and walked away.
One month went by too fast, Wang Hanbing and Zhang Ning changed a lot: Wang Hanbing gradually smiled, cared more about things around him, and his circle of friends gradually expanded; Zhang Ning was praised by his teachers, who said that he no longer skipped classes, and that there were even a few puzzles that he could do. Truant teenagers gradually serious about everything, cold teenagers gradually let people feel that he stored in the heart of the care, tomorrow will be performed, Wang Hanbing called Zhang Ning came to the stage for the last rehearsal, the set, lines, actions, background music, one without falling after a smooth walk through the first time, the two eyes on each other, gently smile, the corner of the mouth raised the arc of the permeate out a kind of self-confidence. The next day's performance was even more exciting, the audience was first amused by the truant teenager's playfulness and laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up straight, then they were surprised by the transformation of the two teenagers, and finally they were poked in the heart by the moral brought by the ending and Zhang Ning's temporary addition of a paragraph, and the fragrance of lilacs spread across the entire competition location, dense over the stage. The result was that "Lilac Campus" took first place in the city. The passage Zhang Ning added reads:
"This is a story that happened to me. As you can see, I started out skipping classes, violating discipline, and doing one thing after another that was laughable; later, Mr. Wang in our class taught me how to behave, and I had expectations for my future; I also want to thank Mr. Wang for giving me a chance to stand on the stage, so that I didn't waste my entire youthful years, the end of this story may be a little bit dramatic, and this may be too much of a consummation, but I think -
"I may not be unable to do it."
When the two of them stood on the podium, a gust of wind rolled in the fragrance of lilacs, and the furious lilac garden seemed to applaud them, and at the same time make this campus, full of lilacs.
