Chapter 120: When I was young
Since Meng Yuan and Lu Yanli came here with the purpose of revisiting the past, they decided to show the most authentic moments of their time together on the show.
Anyway, this is a dating show. Everything presented by the guests on the show, whether true or false, depends on what the audience wants to think.
Therefore, when the two received the theme love task for the first recording from the program team, they both thought of high school.
The two met in their senior year of high school.
Because Lu Yanli had to return to his registered place to take the college entrance examination, he transferred to Meng Yuan's school, was assigned to Meng Yuan's class, and happened to become Meng Yuan's deskmate.
Coincidentally, the school where the two studied together in reality also exists in this world, but with a different name.
Lu Yanli asked Zhao Xing to contact the school leaders in advance to discuss the recording matters.
Because the filming was taking place in a real school classroom, in order to minimize the impact on the students in the class, the two decided to follow the high school schedule and be ordinary high school students for a day, which turned out to be an immersive experience.
So early in the morning on the day of recording, the two of them changed into the school uniforms sent by the school, put on the school badges, carried their backpacks, and prepared to leave for school.
On this day, Meng Yuan was the study committee member of Class 8 of Senior 8, and Lu Yanli was the transfer student who reported to Class of Senior for the first day.
On the way, Meng Yuan couldn't help yawning, and his eyes were filled with tears due to sleepiness.
"You take a nap, I'll call you when we get there." Lu Yanli hugged Meng Yuan and let her head rest on his shoulder.
"It's all the fault of the God of Plot. I knew he would have to come..." Halfway through his words, Meng Yuan couldn't help but yawned again.
After confirming that the male and female protagonists, the second male and female protagonists of this romance variety show would all gather together, Meng Yuan predicted that the God of Plot would definitely come to find her again.
Sure enough, on the night before the first recording of the show, Meng Yuan had just fallen asleep when he stepped into the familiar place again.
However, unlike the previous orderliness, this time when Meng Yuan came here, the machines running in front of him made warning sounds from time to time.
Amid the noisy, repetitive background sounds of the machine alarms, Meng Yuan could not hear the voice of the God of Plot clearly. He could only vaguely hear: "The program... ...the heroine... ...is safe..."
Then the whole night was spent repeating the same thing: "Don't ruin your character."
Even though Meng Yuan was prepared, he still looked very unhappy when he woke up in the morning.
Lu Yanli next to him was not much better. He also listened to the tape recorder and machine warnings in his dream for the whole night.
Fortunately, before that, Lu Yanli met the God of Plot and communicated with him face to face, and at least heard the task issued by the other party this time:
Participate in "A Little Thing Called Love" and fall in love with the heroine.
how to say?
Lu Yanli simply summed it up in two words: bullshit.
Meng Yuan curled her lips after listening to this: "Why does he always come to you in person, but only his voice appears here? Why, the male lead and the female lead should be treated differently at this time!"
Lu Yanli was somewhat helpless: "What's so good about an old man? If you really want to see him, I will strongly accuse him next time I see him."
"But there seems to be something wrong with him. Those machines have been sirening the alarm. It feels like there is a malfunction. Who knows, the machine might explode directly and there will be no next time."
"That's great, I can sleep well from now on."
The two got up chatting and laughing, and immediately put the matter behind them.
This time, none of them wanted to pay attention to the so-called God of Plot.
This time, they just wanted to be themselves.
-
The car soon stopped outside the school gate. Meng Yuan got out of the car and saw the familiar campus and the high school students walking in with their backpacks. She was in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to the age of 18 that year.
When the program officially started live broadcast, Meng Yuan had already finished two math classes in the classroom, and his mind, which was not very clear to begin with, became even more confused.
As soon as the bell rang, Meng Yuan couldn't help but close his eyes and lie on the table before he heard the teacher say, "Today's class ends here."
"Classmates, please be quiet. We have a new student in our class." After an unknown amount of time, the head teacher's voice woke up Meng Yuan who was close to coma, "Next, please let the new student introduce himself to everyone..."
"Hello everyone, my name is Lu Yanli..." The clear boy's voice reached Meng Yuan's ears through the noisy corridor during class breaks, gently awakening Meng Yuan's sleeping heart.
Meng Yuan raised his upper body, opened his eyes and looked towards the podium in front of him.
The sunlight poured into the classroom through the window. Chalk dust that had just been wiped off the blackboard was still floating in the air. It was refracted by the light into golden particles, floating around the podium, like golden light emanating from the person on the podium.
Meng Yuan was a little dazed, and the scene before her seemed to overlap with what happened many years ago.
The person on the podium looked at him. The moment their eyes met, a beautiful smile appeared on his face, and Meng Yuan looked away in panic.
Did the boy smile at her when their eyes met many years ago? Meng Yuan couldn't remember clearly.
But from this moment on, when Meng Yuan recalled their first meeting many years ago, the moment their eyes met, Meng Yuan would remember the smile on the boy's face.
Next, the head teacher pointed to the empty seat next to Meng Yuan, and Lu Yanli and Meng Yuan naturally became deskmates.
Because there was only one day of recording time in high school, the two people's interactions in the camera were like pressing the fast-forward button.
They stole glances at each other during class, and when the teacher called on them to answer a question, they subconsciously looked to the side for the answer;
During the break, they would get together to explain the questions to each other, and the distance between the two of them became closer and closer, intentionally or unintentionally;
At noon, the two went to the cafeteria to eat together. On Saturday, only the senior high school students were in class on campus, so there were not many people on the way to the cafeteria.
Lu Yanli and Meng Yuan were walking slowly, with a person's distance between them. They chatted about the crustal movement that they had just learned in the last geography class.
The photographer followed behind the two and recorded diligently, while the cpf in the live broadcast room was taking screenshots frantically.
During the afternoon break, Lu Yanli was called by the boys in the class to play ball together.
Meng Yuan's seat was right next to the window. When she turned around and looked outside, she could just see the basketball court.
Even though there were so many people on the field, Meng Yuan recognized Lu Yanli at a glance and couldn't take his eyes off him.
The sun began to set, and the afterglow of the sunset fell on the young people on the basketball court.
Perhaps thinking that the break time was almost over, Meng Yuan saw a group of people stop and prepare to go back.
Suddenly, Meng Yuan felt that Lu Yanli raised his head and glanced in the direction of the teaching building.
Even though the distance was far, Meng Yuan inexplicably felt that the other party had just seen him.
The next second, Lu Yanli, who was about to walk back, turned around and jumped to shoot a steady three-pointer.
The cheers and jokes of the boys next to her could be heard faintly in the air, and Meng Yuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
Lu Yanli came in just as the class bell rang.
Meng Yuan only felt a wave of heat coming around him, and then a bottle of colorful drink appeared on the table in front of him.
Meng Yuan turned around to look at the side in doubt, only to see Lu Yanli busy looking for teaching materials. Then he raised his chin towards her in a natural way and said, "Have some water, please."
During evening self-study, there was no teacher in the class.
Even with cameras, there were still students in the class who took the opportunity to sneak out for a midnight snack or to play.
Lu Yanli tilted his head and looked at Meng Yuan who was watching the news broadcast seriously. He stretched out his index finger and gently poked the other person's arm, and asked in a low voice:
"Hey, let's sneak out while we wait for the international news!"
"Where?"
"You'll know when it arrives."
So Meng Yuan followed Lu Yanli and left the classroom, thinking it was quiet.
