It may be a problem of talent, or Teacher Wan’s clothes are too big.
Or Jin Linkun really does look like someone else’s father.
Putting on that dinosaur jumpsuit, Yu Sheng stood facing the mirror in the fitting room for a long time, silently raising his hand to pull the zipper.
Before it was opened, someone outside suddenly raised the blocking curtain gently.
A handsome figure in a one-piece bear suit squeezed in sideways, and talked to him familiarly: “Friend, take me in, they’re hurrying me and the locker room is full…”
Handsome figure: “…”
Handsome figure: “…?”
Yu Sheng’s hand holding the zipper hadn’t had time to pull it down, and his eyes darkened unconsciously, and he took a deep breath.
Looking at the little green dinosaur in front of him, it took Jin Linkun a little longer than usual to confirm that he did not mistake the changing room.
Yu Sheng’s mobile phone was thrown on the shelf next to the door, and the screen was still on.
Jin Linkun followed the thoughts running wild in his mind, glanced at the message sent by Cen Rui on the screen, quickly and accurately connected the whole incident, cleared his throat, and looked up to meet Yu Sheng’s gaze.
According to his understanding of his roommate, the look now probably says “If you dare to laugh and say cute, you will die, and I won’t be soft-hearted and tell you that you must die”.
Jin Linkun raised his hand and touched his nose in a pretentious way.
Of course he knew that his roommate was cute, but he didn’t know that his roommate could be so cute.
The two sets of clothes are of the same size, the little green dinosaur looks a bit big, there are some wrinkles on the shoulders, and the cuffs cover half of the palm.
The collar of the fluffy clothes was piled up around Yu Sheng’s neck, making it look very soft.
It even has a tail.
Yu Sheng didn’t have time to take off his clothes. Looking at Jin Linkun who suddenly squatted on the ground, he couldn’t help frowning: “What are you doing?”
“I…” Jin Linkun opened his mouth, “I need a moment.”
It’s not the first time he gave this answer, but unfortunately, Yu Sheng didn’t understand it every time. Looking at the person who reacted inexplicably, he couldn’t help but go over and pull him up: “Get up, the clothes are wrinkled.”
Jin Linkun looked up and saw the little fluffy green dinosaur walking towards him, and felt that he might not be able to escape the beating today.
Jin Linkun has always been very free and easy, and when he couldn’t escape the beating, he greeted him calmly: “My friend, I can—”
Yu Sheng: “No.”
“…” Jin Linkun begins to feel regretful, “Just a moment.”
“Don’t even think about it.” Yu Sheng pulled up the zipper, raised his head and looked up at Jin Linkun who was approaching him with vigilance: “Kunshen.”
… This friend of his can actually speak so softly.
The clothes are soft for a little dinosaur.
Jin Linkun’s hand, which was about to grab a tail, barely stopped, and he lifted it with no place to rest. After thinking about it for a while, he changed direction under the faint desire to survive, and landed lightly on top of Yu Sheng’s head.
Yu Sheng’s shoulders tensed, he was silent for a moment, and said, “Five.”
Jin Linkun was slightly startled: “Huh?”
Yu Sheng: “Four.”
His roommate actually gave him five seconds to touch his head.
Jin Linkun felt that his current state might not be suitable for playing Chopin, and he wanted to play a song called Doll and Bear Dancing for the audience and judges.
Not knowing that counting down from five actually touched this person, Yu Sheng counted to three, seeing his hand that still had no intention of moving it, he finally couldn’t help removing it himself.
The changing room is set up temporarily, with only a simple curtain. There are many shelf props inside, which may be bumped into if you move a little bit.
Jin Linkun was worried that he would get hurt, so he hurriedly raised his arms to protect him, took two steps back, and leaned back habitually, only to realise that there was no door behind him.
Seeing that this person was really so bold, Yu Sheng stretched out his hand to pull him reflexively, but he couldn’t keep his balance. He staggered forward a few steps, and was pulled by Jin Linkun to stabilise him, and the two of them fell out together.

Outside the changing room, the members of Group 7 and the non-Group 7 who witnessed the fight between the little bear and the little dinosaur were all silent for a moment.
“How did Kunshen…how did he convince Sheng-ge—”
Ding Zhengjiao swallowed unconsciously, and pressed Xia Junhua’s mouth: “No need, think about it carefully, we should know after seeing this scene.”
Based on experience, Liang Yifan doesn’t think. He knows: “I guess your imagination is far from the truth.”
Cen Rui, who is also far away from each other, still doesn’t know how much work he has done, so he squatted beside him, feeling sincerely: “Kunshen has paid too much for Group 7…”
Jin Linkun fell often and was very experienced. He borrowed his strength to support himself and protected Yu Sheng on his chest by the way. No one was injured safely.
But his roommate didn’t seem to want to thank him for it, and at one point showed a willingness to beat him up again after realising how many people were out there.
“Friend, friend.”
Before the person in his arms jumped up to beat him, Jin Linkun circled him back in time, stroking his hair, “Calm down, this is just an accident.”
Yu Sheng was so calm that he threatened him in a low voice, “Think about it carefully before deciding whether you want to take this opportunity to grab my tail.”
“…”
Jin Linkun followed kindness like a stream, and raised his hand that moved down more smoothly and less noticeably.
“Two bosses, excuse me.”
Cen Rui bent down and cautiously raised his hand to intervene: “We may be going on stage, before discussing the topic of the tail, is it convenient for you to stand up for a while?”
___
After standing up from the ground, Yu Sheng insisted on going back and changing his clothes.
Group 7 cooperated in an orderly manner, one part was responsible for dragging Sheng-ge by all means, and the other part was responsible for quickly inviting Lao Wan over.
Classmate Liang Yifan had nothing to do, so Ding Zhengjiao patted him on the shoulder and told him repeatedly, no matter what method he used, try to let Kunshen live until Lao Wan came.
Liang Yifan stayed on the spot alone, looking at Jin Linkun who was hugging Yu Sheng and talking in a low voice, couldn’t help but yawn, put on a pair of sunglasses for himself, turned back and continued to practise his whistle.
After receiving three minutes of praise from Lao Wan who was wearing an astronaut suit, Yu Sheng still couldn’t find a chance to go back and change clothes, and was happily dragged onto the stage by Jin Linkun.
The stage was pitch black, the audience could barely be seen, voices could be heard between scenes.
The lights on the stage were turned on one by one, and according to Yu Sheng’s arrangement, they fell to their designated spot.
“Team leader, are you nervous?” Cen Rui was so nervous that he hugged his little maraca and chatted nonsense with him, “I think I have to use all my strength now to ensure that I don’t become a walking maraca… “
“Don’t be nervous.” Ding Zhengjiao stepped forward firmly, “Calm down, we can do it.”
Xia Junhua swallowed his saliva: “It’s not fair, do you think the audience and judges will like our little bear and little dinosaur?”
___
As soon as the words fell, a burst of unusually surprised loud cheers burst out from the audience.
“Don’t worry.” Liang Yifan looked far away, looking at the excited audience, “The audience and judges like it very much.”
When seeing the borrowed Steinway’s pure black triangle sitting majestically on the side of the stage, no one actually expected to see this scene.
The fluffy little dinosaur was reluctantly led onto the stage by the tall and handsome little bear, bowed to the audience, shook off the little bear’s hand super coldly, and sat on the piano bench by himself.
Little Bear has a very good temper, so he moved to the side while holding him, and sat on the piano bench together.
___
More than one spectator swore to testify that while coaxing the little dinosaur to make way, the little bear took the opportunity to reach out and stroke his tail.
Not being affected by the overly cute appearance, the first pure sound of the piano sounded, and the audience was silent for a moment, then the soft music flowed out.
Considering the abilities of Group 7 as a whole, the components of the performance are actually designed to be very simple.
The lights went out, and when they came back on again, all kinds of characters were already in place, in the positions that had been practised countless times.
Kong Jiahe had never stood in front of the stage before. When the erhu played, his whole body trembled. The sound only shook twice, and the piano accompaniment suddenly sounded just right.
Yu Sheng had already pulled the zipper up to his chest, sat in front of the piano, and focused on improvising the accompaniment for him.
Obviously, the boy looks a bit cold at ordinary times, but the sound of the piano is unbelievably gentle. The rhythm is just right, guiding the sound of the erhu to become smoother little by little.
The sound of maracas came in hesitantly, clarinets, Xun*, and triangles tinkled, and a jerky guitar took over the main tune.

In order to make it easier for the entire Group 7 to practise and master, Yu Sheng changed a few familiar songs and forced all the instruments into it.
It was originally expected that it was going to be a stage where Group 7 demons danced wildly, however everyone cooperated unexpectedly smoothly. Amidst the gentle accompaniment of the piano, it all merged into a familiar tune together.
In the auditorium, they don’t know who was the first to start clapping lightly to the rhythm.
Among all the groups, Group 7 was the only one where all members came on stage, and even from the first day, it never occurred to them that some people should not be on stage.
The style of the characters is very different. A boy in a Chinese tunic jumps off a bicycle, an anime character is obviously messed up, a laser suit with an unknown character, and a rickety pumpkin carriage, sending a few girls to the light.
Lao Wan’s dream finally came true. He squatted in a flying saucer on the side of the road wearing a space suit for a long time, and got out from behind the foam board in time after receiving a signal signal from Ding Zhengjiao.
The sound of the piano gradually stopped, the lighting of the piano dimmed, and the sound of the music became quiet.
After a few seconds, the harmonica sounded out purely.
Although they don’t know how many times they have practised, the skills are not so easy to master after all. Without the adjustment of the piano accompaniment, the music is inevitably out of rhythm, and some subtle mistakes can be heard even if you listen carefully.
But looking at the stage, everything seemed not so important.
Everyone was working hard to complete their part of the work. Lao Wan fumbled in his pocket, turned out a handful of stickers, and walked past all the students on the stage with a smile.
Those who played the guitar, those who knocked on the triangle, those who were in charge of standing still as a living background board, and those who were in charge of holding the foam board to barely create a magical scene of a fantastical castle.
Everyone performed to the best of their abilities.
Everyone should pat your back, give a few words of praise, and then stick a small golden star on your chest.
Lao Wan made a full circle around the stage, and finally walked around to the students who were in charge of holding the foam board of the pumpkin carriage, and sat down together.
The lights dimmed slowly, and fluorescent little star stickers shone on the dark stage.
After a few seconds of silence, the stage lights landed on the piano again.
The two of them had already taken the opportunity just now to change their clothes. Yu Sheng raised his hand to touch the black and white keys, but Jin Linkun suddenly grabbed his wrist lightly.
Yu Sheng was startled slightly, and raised his gaze.
Jin Linkun led him, walked to the front of the stage, and bowed low to the audience again.
The light in the background suddenly brightened, and the shirt outlined an unusually clear line of the shoulders and back. The freshness and elegance of the young man intertwined soundlessly, stepping on the light.
It was so bright and so dazzling that even just looking at it made one’s chest hot.
The Steinway triangle glowed faintly under the lamp, waiting quietly, waiting to be played again.
Jin Linkun didn’t tease him or tease him anymore, he adjusted the piano bench again, turned over the score, and sat down beside him meticulously.
Yu Sheng’s chest subconsciously twitched slightly.
He has been on many stages, many of which he can’t even remember clearly, and the ones that are much bigger than this are much more common that he no longer knows what nervousness is.
But for some reason, this time he suddenly felt his heart beating a little faster.
It was so fast that his chest was slightly hot, as if something was surging up from inside. Every thought was extremely clear.
Jin Linkun raised his hand and lightly played out their first prelude on the piano.
Chopin’s music is not suitable for the whole group to perform on stage. Yu Sheng originally planned to remove it altogether. The two of them cooperated to accompany the whole group, but all Group 7 joined hands to kill this idea.
“Sheng-ge, wake up and think about it carefully.” Ding Zhengjiao’s statement at the time was very clear and well-founded, “At our level, if the judges and audience can’t stand it and want to silence us, you and Kunshen will be our redemption arc.”
___
In the end, they voted unanimously and simply moved this play to the end. Group 7 were responsible for listening to the piano on stage.
Yu Sheng pressed the end note of the chord with his left hand, looked up at Jin Linkun, and was meeting the soft, almost trance-like smile in the dark eyes behind the glasses.
Before he could come back to his senses and react, Jin Linkun had already picked up his rhythm and tapped the keys exactly half a second later.
The qin music was revised several times by Yu Sheng, and a lot of parts that the two cooperated with were added, which broadened the range and expressiveness of the tune, and added bright elements to the originally soft and dark tune.
The young man’s fingers were slender and clean, and they landed on the black and white keys. Their arms occasionally intertwined, his fingertips brushed the back of his hand, and landed on their respective keys again.
The two have practised many times, and they are familiar with every sound, and there will be no mistakes.
Jin Linkun played two bars of his own, and was about to fall on the next chord, but Yu Sheng’s hand had already stopped him, and he struck the chord in advance.
Jin Linkun was slightly taken aback, thinking that he had misremembered the score, and asked him softly, “Isn’t it here? I—”
He couldn’t make a sound for the rest of the words, his throat moved, and he played the remaining bars with inertia.
In front of the piano, which was invisible to the auditorium, Yu Sheng raised his right hand to complete the last few chords.
The young man still looked deserted, his eyes fell on the keys of the piano, his shoulders and back were upright, outlined neatly by the light.
Through the gaps between his fingers, he firmly grasped Jin Linkun’s hand that had nowhere to rest.
