Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 108 Germination
"Wonderful! He's a real big star now." Liang Ban exclaimed as he walked back to the teaching building.

"I don't dare walk with you two anymore. I feel irritated by the girls' gazes." Zhu Qinglun said as he slowed down his pace and gradually moved to the sidelines.

"Damn, I'm not as handsome as them." Chen Fan, who was showing off outside, also admitted defeat.

Only the sunny boy Li Ruofei dared to hug Li Yan on the left and Lin Heng on the right. "Do you feel the girls' admiration for you two?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Handsome Lin will probably be very happy."

"Indeed." Lin Heng brushed his hair, "My sisters' admiration is the motivation for my efforts."

"Promise me that you two won't turn against each other because of a woman."

Li Ruofei's words shocked the two of them, and Lin Heng couldn't stand it: "Are all literary masters so sentimental?"

"Just kidding, seriously, have you ever thought about... recording an audio or video? The singing is really great."

"Recorded, then what?" Lin Heng shrugged.

"Publish it on a music website. I really think you two can form a group. Why not just go to the Happy Boys Contest?"

"Well..." Lin Heng didn't care, "This kind of thing..."

"That's great." Li Yan replied.

"Ah?" Lin Heng was very surprised. "Are you serious, Yan?"

"Seriously, why not? TV shows are a bit far-fetched, and recording some songs is nothing. Why don't we just write our own songs?"

Li Ruofei became excited, "Then I'm looking forward to it."

"Writing songs is difficult. You need to be able to write lyrics, understand music theory, arrange music, play instruments, and be able to..."

"You can learn."

Lin Heng was stunned. If these three words were said to someone else, he would just laugh it off. But why did Li Yan feel as heavy as Mount Tai when she said them?
It's like if he says he wants to learn, he will definitely be able to learn.

"Okay, it's a deal."

There were a few girls in the back row who were discussing things non-stop. When they saw these two big stars shaking hands for no apparent reason, they were so excited that stars appeared in their eyes.

During the lunch break, Li Yan and Lin Heng both chose to go back to the dormitory building, and they were still discussing song writing along the way.

"A song with a Chinese style, like 'Blue and White Porcelain'. You happen to be good at Chinese, so I think it's okay." Lin Heng already had a direction.

"Just perform the lyrics directly."

"what?"

"The lyrics in Tang and Song poetry were originally sung. If you want a Chinese style, then you have to be completely Chinese."

“This… feels so difficult, it’s hard to perform.”

"We can deconstruct part of the original text and part of it in modern language to sing out the emotions in the lyrics that have lasted for thousands of years."

"Really... can you do this?"

"You said it, Lin Heng, this is our stage."

"That makes sense. Well, there are still many things to learn." Lin Heng took out a few books from the bookshelf. "As for music theory, I can understand music scores but I can't compose them. We can study together, or we can go to Teacher Tao."

Li Yan took the book but put it back on the bed. "Let me first deepen my understanding of singing. If there is any opportunity to perform later, we will rush for it."

Although Lin Heng was a little confused, he was born with a congenital performing holy body, and he couldn't be happier that Li Yan was happy.

He would never have thought that Li Yan just wanted to raise the total music score by singing, and then perform a wave of upgrades out of thin air.

It only takes a blink of an eye to go from knowing nothing about music theory to starting to compose music, and from being a novice at playing an instrument to starting to perform.

It feels so good to think about it.

Neither of them slept at noon, and as a result, Lin Heng was yawning all the way back to the classroom.

Once you get used to taking a nap, not taking one will be a real pain in the ass. But Li Yan was full of energy. As soon as she arrived at class in the afternoon, she rushed to Guo Qiwen's office with a manuscript.

"'Fireworks in the City of Cold'... This theme is indeed very suitable for 'Linjiang Literary Weekly'. It seems that you have put in some effort."

Teacher Guo remained calm and composed regardless of praise or criticism.

To Li Yan's surprise, this man, who usually took half a minute to review an essay, spent five minutes reading Li Yan's article of only 2,000 words without saying a word.

This made Li Yan nervous and she didn't dare to say a word.

"Very good, there is no need to change even a single word." Guo Qiwen closed the manuscript and stuffed it into an envelope on the spot. He wrote the submission address without stopping, dipped the tip of the pen in water from the aquatic potted plants in the office, and affixed a stamp.

This set of movements is so smooth and flowing, I guess he has contributed a lot of them.

"Should I help you vote or should you vote on your own?"

"I'll do it, teacher." Li Yan took the envelope.

"You write with some sincere nostalgia, Li Yan." Guo Qiwen looked at him, "At this age, I really can't understand why you have nostalgia."

Li Yan frowned.

"I didn't mean to doubt you. I just found it incredible from the bottom of my heart that you have only been away from Rin City... for two months."

But before my rebirth, I went to college for five years and worked for a year, so I can still recall the subtle feelings I had towards the little Rincheng.

But he couldn't tell this even if he was beaten to death, so Li Yan just laughed and turned away.

In the subsequent Chinese class, Guo Qiwen announced the news that New Taipei No. 1 Middle School would hold a "Warm Winter" cultural performance in mid-December.

One of the themes is "Promoting Chinese traditional culture". Mr. Guo, a Chinese teacher, expressed his hope to "combine it with Chinese classical literature".

"I hope everyone will actively exchange ideas and sign up. Our class will have at least one performance spot. Tiancheng, please organize this matter and collect everyone's ideas or recommendations."

Including Liang Tiancheng, the students in Class 0 focused their attention on Li Yan and Lin Heng.

Guo Qiwen's smile froze for a moment. Is this also related to you, Li Yan?
This year, there is a very, very remarkable student in this class...

Li Yan exchanged glances with Lin Heng - this Song Dynasty poetry had to be sung.

"Hey, Mr. Yan," Bai Xiaosheng poked Li Yan's back, "I think it would be a good idea for you and Lin Heng to sing a song and ask Lin Zhengmo to compose the music for you."

"Soundtrack?"

"She can play traditional instruments. If you sing something Chinese-style, I can't even imagine how beautiful and wonderful the picture will be!"

Li Yan nodded perfunctorily, but he was actually thinking about it in his heart, but what he was thinking about was whether he would have the opportunity to learn Guzheng from Lin Zhengmo...

Just as I was thinking about it, this talented woman suddenly turned around and quickly performed a perfect "wanting to say something but stopping" move, then shook her ponytail and turned her face away.

Although she has repeatedly cue him in public in front of Li Yan, the two have never spoken to each other in private.

There's no other reason. This girl is so aloof that people usually stay away from her and she has no idea when to speak.

Plus, Li Yan hadn’t even thought about how to find the right moment to speak.

One of his life creeds is "I treat you the way you treat me". He will respond enthusiastically to those who are enthusiastic and straightforward, and to those who are cold, haha, he plays the role of the iceberg little prince.

So he was too lazy to care. It was difficult to guess what a girl was thinking, so he might as well learn more skills instead of spending that time on it.

Wait until some beautiful young girl hits him in the face with a straight ball, and then think about the story of spring.

There is something more urgent right now, and that is tonight's badminton training.

It’s not because he didn’t practice during the entire National Day, but because Li Yan’s core strength has been significantly improved during this National Day, and he finally improved several major level 40 body functions to more than % progress.

From his perspective, it is no exaggeration to say that he has obtained a new body. Isn't it time to practice with his teammates in the first grade of junior high school?
When they walked into the badminton hall that night, Li Yan shouted "Good evening, Captain Wu" especially loudly.

The training had just begun, and an accelerated shuttle run made Wu Qiang's eyes widen:
"Why is this kid different?"
