Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 151: Searching for Him in the Crowd ( words, those who like reading this book can read it first)

(10,000-word chapter, the art performance is over, friends who like this plot can read it)

Groups like the dance club and the junior high school band, which already have performance experience, can be in better condition under high-pressure environments, be more engaged and focused, and achieve better results than usual performances.

But for the first-year students... they lacked experience on stage to begin with, and it was good enough that they weren't so nervous that they couldn't speak when they first stepped onto a stage of this size.

It would be fine if everything could go on normally, but if there is any minor problem along the way, it would turn into a catastrophic performance accident.

The first program to be performed on stage on the first day of the new year was the drama performance "The Ballad of Mulan".

As a result, at the beginning, the female student in charge of the narration was so nervous that she broke the sound of the five words "jiji fu jiji" three times, and Mulan, who was weaving in the void, couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

The rest of the story was so chaotic, the narrator was reading while crying, Mulan was distracted because she was worried that she would be blamed for laughing, and the officer over there forgot his words and became a statue...

The audience couldn't suppress their laughter in waves, and finally, under the leadership of the vice president of the student union who came to the rescue, everyone turned the drama into a poetry recitation and finally completed the show.

Fortunately, the big guys in the audience were very tolerant of the junior high school performance. They didn't expect the high quality of the program today. This is New Taipei No. 1 High School, which is famous for its academic performance. The quality of the program is definitely not as good as that of Experimental Middle School.

Due to the poor performance of the drama, the pressure on subsequent programs became greater and greater, and the first-year programs failed one after another.

Except for a piano solo that was not interesting in the first place, the rest of the pop songs were played and sung out of tune. One of the calligraphy players was so confused that he didn't dare to pick it up and it turned into a stone statue. The guy who led the serious poetry recitation missed two sentences...

The leaders in the audience also started chatting, and the children performing on the stage thought that the leaders were discussing and criticizing them - Teacher Tao thought so too, and she had a hard time maintaining her professional fake smile.

But in fact, even if they were given a hundred chances, they would not be able to guess what the leaders were talking about.

Wang Peihua, who had a slicked-back hair and gold-rimmed glasses, tilted his head and asked Tan Li, the deputy director of the Cultural Bureau, "I heard that Wan Tang's daughter is also participating in your show this time?"

Principal Tan, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, glanced at Rongxi Middle School Vice Principal Guan Qianglu, and the gray-haired vice principal smiled and nodded.

"Lao Guan, isn't her daughter from your school? Why didn't she participate in your show and come here to support Lao Tan?"

Principal Tan smiled and said, "Director Wang, are you suggesting that Lao Guan should take care of him?"

Wang Peihua smiled and shook his head, "How can such a person need our care?"

"Are you still thinking about me?" Principal Tan said in a low voice.

Deputy Director Li, who was very thin, also smiled.

"Old Tan, you are wrong." Director Wang pretended to be angry, "Wan Tang was a famous talented girl among our group. She was in her prime. Ask Old Li if he was attracted to her."

"Hey, Director Wang, this is not very honest of you."

Principal Tan smiled and said, "She is both talented and beautiful, and is well-known far and wide."

"In the end, I was defeated by money." Deputy Director Li muttered.

Wang Peihua waved his hand, "He is indeed amazing, young and promising, daring to think and act, and has a strong background. Old Li, are you still complaining?"

"Why complain? We are just missing our youth, which happened so many years ago."

"Old Tan," Director Wang changed the subject again, "I heard that this girl has the temperament of Wan Tang and a strong personality. The Li Yan you mentioned is quite capable."

"It's more than just a little bit of ability," Principal Tan said with a proud smile on his face, "We are both lucky that he can study at New Taipei First High School."

The two protagonists mentioned by several leaders finally met backstage at this moment.

Seeing the Rongxi Middle School dance team enter the backstage, the students who were preparing to go on stage were confused.

Why did the dance team walk around again after their performance?
But they soon realized they were wrong because this group of people looked better.

New Taipei Dance Club: Are you polite?

The eight girls were still wrapped in white school uniform jackets, with traditional long skirts underneath for performances, seven in orange-red and one in royal blue.

Each of them wore delicate light make-up and phoenix and jade hairpins on their heads, just like the girls from wealthy families in ancient times.

The most stunning one is Wei Yunzhi in the royal blue dress. She has a noble appearance. Although her hair accessories are not as delicate and complicated as others, they are more noble against her temperament - compared with the other seven girls, she is more like a runaway princess.

This is called brilliance.

Even Lin Zhengmo couldn't help but keep his eyes on Wei Yunzhi's face, let alone the other people present. Whether the boys were chatting or pretending to watch the performance or were trembling with nervousness, all of them stared at her.

"This is the Queen of the Kingdom of Women..." Li Yan muttered to himself.

Lin Heng asked in confusion, "Who? Which one?"

"You were just looking at the monkeys, weren't you?"

"Are you nervous?" Wei Yunzhi seemed unaware of how dazzling she was now, and moved directly closer to Li Yan.

This delicate face and sparkling earrings made Li Yan a little nervous.

"Are you a little taller?"

Wei Yunzhi didn't expect this response, so she lifted her heels and took a look, "I am indeed two centimeters taller, but I am also wearing high-heeled shoes."

"Where are you in the choir? Aren't you coming together?"

"There are many of them, and they will arrive soon. Don't ask these unimportant questions."

“What counts as an important question?”

"Are you nervous?"

"Not nervous." Li Yan smiled.

What a stubborn person.

Due to the series of embarrassing moments in the previous programs, the atmosphere in the audience became extremely lively, causing the junior high school crosstalk group that appeared later to become nervous and forget their lines, which became the funniest part of the performance.

As the performance gradually came to an end, the recitation team from Experimental Middle School and the choir from Rongxi Middle School were preparing backstage, and Teacher Tao's tense heart finally relaxed a little.

The middle parts are just appetizers, and I hope the last three programs can maintain the basic foundation of the evening party.

"Next, we invite students from New Taipei Experimental Middle School to recite the situational poem "The Peacock Flies Southeast"."

"Oh, the two masterpieces of Yuefu poetry, our "The Ballad of Mulan" has become a comedy sketch. If people perform well, Principal Tan will probably not be happy." Lin Heng said.

"And us." Li Yan answered as a matter of course.

Experimental Middle School is worthy of its main theme of "quality education". There are also no props. The interpretive element of this situational poetry recitation is much higher than that of the "Drama Mulan Ci".

An emotional performance, clear and melodious recitation, skillful movement... This is a highly completed work. There is not much to be amazed about in itself, but with the previous rollover performance as a backdrop, it is no exaggeration to say that this show is an eye-opener.

It immediately brought the scene back to the atmosphere of "watching a performance".

The choir also came on stage, but Lin Heng and his sister had no idea how they would perform. They nervously adjusted their breathing and shook their legs so hard that they lost themselves.

Li Yan was still chatting with Wei Yunzhi about the choir. He felt that the choir seemed a little polite to Wei Yunzhi.

Wei Yunzhi said that the choir originally hoped that the dance team could cooperate with them in the performance, but instead they came to Li Yan.

Yeah, so why are they so polite even though they are upset?

But this is not something to consider now. The girls from the Rongxi Dance Team took off their school uniform jackets and picked up small round fans, as if they had traveled back from ancient times.

Wei Yunzhi was wearing a blue dress, with a slender waist, a good frame, and a figure... She didn't look like a girl in the second grade of junior high school at all.

"I've wanted to say this for a long time. Let's just wear school uniforms. It's so simple." At this moment, Lin Heng seemed to relax a little.

"The school uniform is right. I have an idea." Li Yan stared at the stage. The choir was exiting from the other side.

"Lao Yan, to be honest, I still don't know what our show will be like."

It’s just like an author who writes a book without an outline and only knows the plot two hours before the readers.

"I don't know either." Li Yan smiled, "Besides, we had our backs to them, so we didn't even know it earlier than the audience."

It’s worse than the author who didn’t write an outline.

"Yan," Lin Heng showed an excited and confident smile on his face, "This is really, really interesting."

"Yunzhi, wait for the music," Li Yan raised her hand to the backstage staff on the other side, then suddenly put it down, "Let's go and set up the arrangements."

Teacher Tao stood in the center of the stage, summarizing the wonderful performances of Rongxi and Experimental schools, and buying some transition time for Li Yan's preparations for the show.

In fact, there is no need for that. When everyone sees the gate decorations being slowly pushed out, the lanterns falling from the sky, and the calligraphy works hanging on the shelves being pushed out one by one... their inner expectations have been completely ignited.

Even the leaders in the audience were interested in the scene.

"The finale?" Director Wang glanced at Principal Tan.

"I hope we can suppress it." Principal Tan nodded slightly.

The electric piano, zither, and hand drums quickly took their places, and Teacher Tao happened to introduce the most critical part:
"This song was composed and arranged by students from the first grade experimental class of New Taipei First High School, and was performed live. It also featured the friendly collaboration of the Rongxi Middle School dance team..."

At this point, the leaders' eyes lit up and the audience exclaimed a little - although most of the students at New Taipei First High School knew that the song was original, many of them knew for the first time that the Rongxi Middle School dance team would also join the performance.

Teacher Tao gradually made way for her, and Li Yan was already standing in the middle of the stage.

Damn, when the auditorium is full of people, it’s really… stressful.

However, all eyes of this group of people will be focused on me.

awesome.

He glanced at Yang Chengzhang, and then saw Yang Chengzhang waving at him.

Wow, this big guy actually still remembers me, a guy I only met once? Li Yan also waved in response.

Yang Chengzhang showed a happy expression and withdrew his hand.

A tacit and simple identity confirmation.

But it was very confusing to the leaders. Director Wang couldn't help but ask, "Chairman Yang, do you know this child?"

"I know him." Yang Chengzhang's eyes never left the stage.

“Next, let’s enjoy the song performance of ‘Qing Yu’an Lantern Festival’!” Teacher Tao said and hid backstage.

She was actually quite nervous too.

Li Yan closed her eyes, opened them after two seconds, nodded at the technical console, and a low drum sound came from the speakers.

The clear sound of the zither rang out, and after a short solo, Li Yan's hands flew and beat the hand drum.

Everyone's thoughts were like flying birds, flying through the streets where lanterns were hung.

As the prelude ended, the sound of bells began to play in the background. From the left side of the stage facing the audience, a girl in a royal blue dress gently lifted up a piece of paper, as if lifting a door curtain.

Seeing everyone’s “Wow” expressions, Li Yan knew that Wei Yunzhi had appeared.

Lin Heng pressed the piano keys, and Li Yan leaned closer to the microphone:
"The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees down at night, and even blows them down, and the stars are like rain..."

The two sang in harmony, "The road is filled with the fragrance of BMW and carved carriages."

What a clear and bright young voice!

In the empty auditorium, the effect of harmony was particularly obvious, and the audience's concentration was raised to the highest level so far in this cultural performance.

As the singing voice floated out, the girl in blue took graceful steps like a lotus, holding a round fan in her hand, with a charming smile on her face, and circled past the gatehouse.

"The phoenix flute sounds, the jade pot turns light, and fish and dragons dance all night long."

Lin Heng took over the lyrics, and sang in a cheerful tone with dancing fingers and piano keys.

Li Yan clapped the hand drum with his left hand and pulled out the flute from the belt around his waist with his right hand. He had practiced this action many times and had gained enough proficiency, so he looked very cool.

The uplifting flute sounds immediately lifted everyone's spirits. Lin Zhengmo also danced her fingers again, using the fast-paced guzheng to further create a bustling atmosphere for viewing lanterns.

The girl in blue walked briskly past the three people with nimble steps, and exchanged glances with Li Yan across the sound of the flute.

Li Yan admitted that the vibrato just now was not an intentional technique.

At the same time, seven girls in orange-red long skirts, with round fans covering their mouths, came out one after another from behind the hanging calligraphy in different postures, with graceful gestures and playful movements.

They seemed to be communicating something, but clearly not saying a word. However, the sound of flute and zither made it seem very lively, and they walked in neat steps, lingering beside the gatehouse.

Li Yan put away the flute, and Lin Zhengmo added a short strumming movement.

"The moth is like a golden thread of snow willow, and leaves with a smile and a faint fragrance."

Wei Yunzhi smiled and waved his sleeves, which fluttered in the wind, and quietly hid among the pile of calligraphy papers.

Faintly, swaying gracefully.

"I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and there he was, in the dimming lights."

It was another harmony, but compared to before, Li Yan's voice became very light, like a dream bubble.

Just like the girl in blue who appears and disappears from time to time.

There was another interlude, and Lin Heng's electric piano joined in. A short piece of string music was added to the background music. The previous joyful atmosphere was pushed to a climax, and with the melodious sound of Li Yan's flute, it returned to calm.

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night..."

Once again, the seven girls were in uniform, graceful and elegant, with their orange-red clothes blooming like rich flowers.

When Li Yan and Lin Heng sang "A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance" together, they suddenly moved back and forth, pulling each other, and pointing in front of the gatehouse.

This time there is no interlude between the first and second stanzas, and the guzheng joins the accompaniment neatly:

"The moth is like a golden thread of snow willow, with a smile and a faint fragrance..."

Behind the paper, Wei Yunzhi suddenly appeared, her dance moves light and powerful, just like a blue lotus that suddenly blooms and then hides behind the paper curtain.

Many boys in the audience looked wildly between the calligraphy works.

"I looked for him thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back, but the man was in a dimly lit place."

Lin Heng stopped playing the electric piano here, leaving only a little drum music in the background.

The main stage lights were suddenly turned off. Although it was morning and there was light coming in from the ceiling, the turning off of the main lights still made the audience feel confused.

They subconsciously looked for the light source, which was naturally the several orange and yellow lanterns above the gatehouse.

"I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, he was there..."

The audience realized where the girl in blue was, and there was also a lantern hanging there, but only one.

The lights dimmed.

Wei Yunzhi lifted the paper curtain, his smile disappeared, he covered his heart with one hand, and just stared quietly at the lantern diagonally above him.

Different from her previous joy and excitement, the girl in blue now has a cold temperament.

"Where the lights are dim." Only Li Yan's voice remained.

The music stopped abruptly.

At this moment, the audience in the auditorium was in the quietest state of the entire cultural performance today.

I was really stunned.

This was followed by thunderous applause. If the auditorium had not been so dark, everyone on the stage would have been able to see groups of “O”-shaped mouths.

Lin Zhiyuan, who was sitting in the corner, was almost going crazy. He didn't even feel anything until his palms turned red from clapping.

The Lin Heng brother and sister looked at each other and their noses actually felt sore.

Yang Chengzhang stood up and praised repeatedly, and the leaders also stood up and applauded.

Wave after wave, the applause continued.

Li Yan couldn't hear clearly. When he sang the last sentence, he turned around and looked at Wei Yunzhi in the dim light.

In all the formal and informal versions, even in the rehearsed versions in his mind, he did not have this moment of sudden looking back.

Similarly, when he looked back, Wei Yunzhi also looked at him.

According to the program arrangement, she should have kept looking at the lanterns until Li Yan finished singing.

So they looked at each other.

It was frozen at the quietest second in the entire audience, and then thunderous applause broke everything.

Li Yan was breathing heavily, and looking at the audience standing up and applauding, his mind was distracted for a moment.

Ding!
[Don’t forget it, tell me when you get back, let me enjoy this moment]

Ding Ding Ding!
Then the system went silent.

Li Yan motioned Wei Yunzhi to stand beside her. The three stars from Class Zero and the eight beautiful girls from Rongxi Middle School Dance Team stood in the middle of the stage to take their bows.

The whole audience burst into applause again.

Yang Chengzhang suddenly left his seat and walked straight to the stage.

The applause quieted down.

The big shot stood at the edge of the stage and called Li Yan to come forward.

Teacher Tao thought he was going to make some comments, so he quickly handed over the microphone, but he only heard:

"Why didn't you even send me a text message?"

Not to mention the students, everyone on the stage and backstage, even the leaders in the first row were dumbfounded.

Li Yan squatted down awkwardly, "I'm worried about disturbing you."

Yang Chengzhang motioned for Teacher Tao to take the microphone away. "How can you not disturb me? It's hard to find a soulmate. It's rare that we were so close that day. We can be considered friends regardless of age."

Several leaders looked at each other, left their seats and came to Yang Chengzhang.

"This kid," Yang Chengzhang began to introduce naturally, "just stood next to my painting "Yellow Earth Peasants" for a few minutes and said a few words to me, but he was better than the critics at the so-called literary salon I attended that day! I didn't expect to see him here again today, and he brought us such a wonderful performance!"

Li Yan quickly jumped off the stage and was surrounded by leaders.

Deputy Director Li of the Cultural Bureau asked, "Did you compose and arrange this song?"

Before Li Yan could answer, Teacher Tao interrupted and said, "Even the background music was composed by them and recorded by a music company."

Lin Heng stood on the stage and shouted, "Director Li, it wasn't us, it was almost all done by him."

"This is incredible," Director Li nodded repeatedly, "Director Wang, Principal Tan, you really found a treasure."

Yang Chengzhang immediately asked, "Is this stage setting also..."

"It was me...we did it."

The vice chairman of the New Taipei City Federation of Literary and Art Circles pointed at the calligraphy being put away and said, "The idea behind these calligraphy works is very good. Using paper as a door curtain to hide 'that person' is really great. And I think his calligraphy skills are pretty good too."

"My roommate Li Ruofei and I wrote this."

"You wrote it, too?" The vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles raised an eyebrow. "Not bad, not bad. Editor Sun, has Linjiang Literature and Art Weekly ever published this kid's article?"

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Sun of New Taipei Daily nodded. "You can also write?" Yang Chengzhang was even more surprised. "You are a versatile talent, Director Wang. You should take good care of this kind of talent in New Taipei."

"How dare I not protect him? He is the top student in New Taipei City No. 1 High School." Director Wang laughed. "Look how happy Principal Tan is."

This was something Yang Chengzhang had never expected. For a moment, he even felt a little regretful. Such a good artistic talent, whose academic performance was also top-notch, might not pursue a career in art in the future!
"I heard that he was recruited through special sports recruitment." Guan Qianglu, vice principal of Rongxi Middle School, suddenly said.

Yang Chengzhang's eyes changed when he looked at Li Yan. The several honorary alumni standing nearby also looked at each other, searching their brains for the most amazing people in their school days, to see if there was anyone as exaggerated as Li Yan.

Director Wang immediately responded, "Hey, Principal Tan, why do such talents have to go through the sports special recruitment?"

Before Principal Tan could respond, Li Yan said, "It was actually my fault. I didn't know what the requirements were to apply for the special recruitment of New Taipei First High School, so I didn't even apply. Since I won first place in the city in badminton, I met the requirements, so I applied as a sports student. Anyway, I just wanted to get in."

Principal Tan smiled so hard that his eyes could not open. He waved to Guo Qiwen who was standing next to him and said, "Qiwen, train him well. I am leaving this important task to you."

Guo Qiwen hesitated to speak and nodded.

He can't teach it. Children of Li Yan's level are all taught by God.

Li Yan's face was stiff from smiling and his legs were numb. He really wanted to go backstage to celebrate instead of being surrounded and praised by the leaders.

The newspaper staff member who was walking around with a camera suddenly nodded to Deputy Editor-in-Chief Sun, and the two walked aside.

"Editor Sun, we can't take this photo."

"What can't be filmed? This is such a good subject. Leaders should get closer to children. The art performance will end successfully..."

“Take a look.” The old man opened the photos in the camera and handed them to Editor Sun.

In the photo, Li Yan, a first-year junior high school student, is leaning against the stage with a calm expression. She is surrounded by a circle of leaders, all of whom are smiling happily.

No matter from which angle the photo is taken, the focus of attention is Li Yan. No matter how you look at it, it seems that Li Yan is here to inspect this group of leaders.

Editor-in-Chief Sun saw that there was silence, so he handed the camera back and said, "Find another opportunity to take pictures later."

"Li Yan, can you draw?" After praising Li Yan's wonderful performance in the school sports meet, Yang Chengzhang asked a new question.

Li Yan said that he really didn't dare to answer. The leaders had been surrounding him and asking questions for several minutes. There were so many eyes watching him that he felt his scalp was tingling.

"Teacher Zhong!" Teacher Tao understood Principal Tan's look and called out directly.

Teacher Zhong trotted a few steps in her high heels and said, "What a genius!"

It’s over, this is what leaders are most happy to hear.

Yang Chengzhang wiped his fluffy long hair and said, "Okay! How about we go and see Li Yan's paintings?"

No, I’ve only drawn two pictures in art class so far… Li Yan screamed in her heart, what’s so great about this?

The people on the stage looked confused. Lin Heng shrugged and said, "Leaders are like this. Once they find an interesting topic, they will get more and more excited. It's no surprise that they turned the topic of Lao Yan into a Li Yan Appreciation Conference as they dig deeper and deeper into it."

"If Chairman Yang is interested, we are naturally happy to do so." Director Wang laughed.

Teacher Tao was stunned and made faces wildly at Principal Tan.

Damn, the closing ceremony hasn’t even started yet!

Finally, under Principal Tan’s dramatic speech, the leaders returned to their seats, waiting to watch the closing ceremony and go through the process before attending the Li Yan appreciation meeting.

Li Yan was finally able to return to the backstage, and was greeted by Wei Yunzhi, who had put on his coat again, "You've sweated a lot."

A look of gloating.

"Where are they?" The seven girls in orange skirts were gone.

"We should actually go back to school. I'll let them go first."

"how about you?"

"I'll wait."

Li Yan sat on the chair with a look of exhaustion, and Lin Heng directly massaged his shoulders. "It is a great honor to massage your shoulders."

In the end, Li Yan didn't complain about anything.

"Wow, are you really that weak?"

"My socializing... consumes energy." Li Yan closed her eyes.

Then he heard Yang Chengzhang's voice coming from the speaker.

"The show just now was absolutely wonderful. The music itself, the performance and singing, the dance coordination, the stage setting, and the program arrangement were all very wonderful and completely exceeded our expectations..."

Lin Heng thought Li Yan would collapse after hearing this, but when he turned around, he saw Li Yan standing up straight and listening with great interest.

"I see. It's better to praise your work than to praise you personally, right? It's also more satisfying to praise you behind your back than to your face, right?"

"As expected, we are fellow travelers." Li Yan smiled.

"…The ingenuity of the work is not only in the scene setting and dance choreography, the finishing touch is the last sentence. The lead singer Li Yan also 'suddenly looked back' as she sang the lyrics, and exchanged glances with the lead dancer girl in 'the dim lights'. Not to mention that it touched the theme and left a lingering aftertaste, one in school uniform and the other in ancient skirt, ending with a gaze across ancient and modern times, which is really ingenious.

"An image of being independent from the world can be a loved one, a noble soul, or a dream to pursue... I believe that this program took a lot of effort. When I stepped onto the stage and performed to the end, I suddenly looked back and saw the road I had come. I found that the appreciation and applause from us, our teachers, and my classmates were all in the stands at the end of the lights."

After Yang Chengzhang finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause again.

"Do you really think so, Yan?" Lin Heng asked, stunned.

"…At least the school uniform is."

"Let's retreat first? Senior Sister Wei should also be going back?" Lin Zhengmo asked while packing.

"You have to stay." Teacher Tao suddenly appeared from nowhere, "After the leaders finish watching the show, they may want to talk to you."

"Teacher Tao, I won't stay." Wei Yunzhi said.

"Ah..." Tao Caihong hesitated for a while, "Okay, you go first."

"Call me when you're done. I'll... go out for a while." Li Yan patted Lin Heng.

In return, Lin Heng and Teacher Tao gave him a look that said "we all understand".

Li Yan and Wei Yunzhi stood in the aisle for a while, hoping that the fat boy could see them, and then they went out of the small door of the auditorium.

It is a very sunny day today. God is very kind to us and the sun is shining brightly. It is indeed a good day in this "warm winter".

Li Yan and Wei Yunzhi felt uncomfortable for a moment, so they found a tree to stand under. Before saying anything, Li Yan took out his cell phone and sent a message to Xiaopang.

"That's great." Wei Yunzhi said.

Her voice is relatively mature, and with her makeup and figure, Li Yan said she looked a little dazed.

“To be honest, the effect is better than I thought.”

"Where?"

"you."

Wei Yunzhi's eyes dodged for a moment, and after a while he said, "It's the dance team's credit."

Suddenly, the door on the other side of the auditorium, that is, behind the audience seats, opened. Lin Zhiyuan looked around and found Li Yan raising her hand, and he ran towards him excitedly.

After running two steps, he found that Wei Yunzhi was also there, so he suddenly restrained himself a lot.

"Master Yan, Senior Sister Yunzhi, you two are amazing! The group of people next to me are frantically trying to get information about you two. Master Yan, your classmates at New Taipei First High School are so proud of you. They said that you won first place in all the school sports meets!"

"Here we go again. Three people make a tiger. If this continues, I will become a god."

“You already are!” Xiaopang was so excited that his face turned red. “And you’re so strong too. Even though I was sitting so far back, I could still see you suddenly looking back. It was amazing! Your acting skills are really good! Oh oh oh oh!”

Acting...acting...

Li Yan glanced at Wei Yun and found that she also stretched out her fingers to scratch her nose.

Lin Zhiyuan also noticed the subtle state of the two people, and immediately transformed from an excited monkey into Sherlock Holmes.

"Hmm? You two..."

Then he was instantly stopped by Li Yan's cold gaze.

"I have other activities later, so I may not have time to see you to the door..." Li Yan looked at the front door of the auditorium, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if they wait for me, let's go."

Along the way, Lin Zhiyuan kept describing his dreamlike feeling, but what he emphasized the most was: "I really want to tell the classmate next to me that this is my deskmate in elementary school!"

However, he quickly shook his head, saying that Li Yan’s awesomeness had nothing to do with him, and he also hoped that one day Li Yan would be proud to have him as a friend.

As we were talking, we arrived at the school gate.

"Yunzhi, no matter what, I appreciate your participation. This show means something special to me, and you make it even more special. Zhiyuan, thank you for coming."

"Wow, that's all I know?" Lin Zhiyuan made a funny expression, making them both laugh.

"Let's do this for now." Wei Yunzhi said.

Lin Zhiyuan had already turned around gracefully, leaving the two some space to say goodbye.

Li Yan waved goodbye to them.

Suddenly, Wei Yunzhi patted Li Yan's shoulder and whispered in his ear:
"Happy birthday."

Before Li Yan could react, Wei Yunzhi had already left with a smile and waved goodbye, getting into a medium-sized van.

Didn’t they agree to leave first? It turns out they are all waiting for you.

Li Yan waved at the cars again, and suddenly the windows were rolled down, and the girls waved at him with smiles on their faces.

It was so scary! Li Yan couldn't stand it and ran away.

A string of girls' clear laughter was left at the door.

"Did you tell Yunzhi that today is my birthday?" Li Yan sent a message to Xiaopang on the way back.

"Ah, how do you know?"

Damn it, it’s hard to say it out loud, I was outmaneuvered!

As soon as I returned to the front door of the auditorium, Lin Heng and Lin Zhengmo were already waiting there.

"You've come just in time. Teacher Tao is looking for you. Hey, why is your face a little red?"

"I left in a hurry just now." Li Yan said as he entered the auditorium.

"Why... does it look like he is ready to die calmly?" Lin Heng asked.

Lin Zhengmo looked around and saw that there was no one else around. "Don't ask me, I don't understand."

As Li Yan expected, this group of leaders basically came for him. Apart from mentioning the Lin brothers and sisters at the beginning, no one would know even if they ran away later.

In the eyes of the leaders, the program has become a thing of the past. What they are really interested in is Li Yan's "future".

As Director Wang said, "In all my years in the education system, I have never seen another person as talented as him."

Li Yan is indeed an extraordinary person now, and the more you get to know him, the more extraordinary he is.

Just being the top student in the grade at New Taipei First High School is already worthy of attention.

He won first place in the city competition in his main event, badminton, and won gold and silver medals in the school sports meets in both short-distance and long-distance running. In terms of sports talent training, he is also a top-notch talent.

In terms of art, big names like Yang Chengzhang are also fascinated by it, so it will be a smooth road for me to follow this path in the future.

However, Li Yan had no interest in this. These were just resources he needed to get. As for which direction to develop in... he wanted to "change the world" and aim to be the "top of humanity."

After much discussion, the leaders finally understood what was truly terrifying about Li Yan—his learning speed.

With the art performance as the main program, Teacher Tao and Lin Heng took turns to tell the stories of learning composition, arrangement, flute, hand drum, computer software, etc.

It sounds so mysterious.

The leaders of the education system all knew whose son Lin Heng was, so they just let him talk.

Lin Heng said he felt great, and also brought up the story of Li Yan learning programming to make an airplane game, and getting first place in the grade without even reviewing, trying to recreate the shock that Li Yan brought to the 403 brothers.

As he listened, Director Wang became less calm. He even had the idea that it would be a failure to train this child to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Yang Chengzhang didn't think too much about it. He stuck to his original intention and talked about painting with Li Yan.

The group walked to the comprehensive subject activity room in the teaching building and saw the paintings hung on the wall by Teacher Zhong.

"This is a sketching class. It was drawn in 40 minutes. Coincidentally, the picture next to it was drawn by this student Lin Heng."

"You are pretty awesome too." Yang Chengzhang said with a smile.

This was the only compliment Lin Heng received since the opening greetings.

If you stand next to a Colossus and are not as tall as it, you will just be standing in its shadow.

The cultural performance ended completely at around 11:10. It is now 11:30 and Li Yan's appreciation meeting has lasted for 20 minutes.

This group of leaders actually had non-repetitive words of praise, starting with Yang Chengzhang praising Li Yan's painting talent and emphasizing the need to fully cultivate him. Then Director Wang came out to praise Li Yan for his all-round talent and once again emphasized the need to fully cultivate him. Then Principal Tan praised him again and said that he would do his best, and finally passed the compliment to Guo Qiwen, who nodded repeatedly.

"Should it be over?"

Seeing that Guo Qiwen mentioned the Linjiang Literature and Art Weekly again, Director Wang was about to start praising him as an "all-rounder", and Li Yan was almost scared to death.

You can't keep repeating the same thing like this! Don't you guys need to eat?
Yes.

So Principal Tan officially kicked off the lunch by saying, “It’s almost time. Leave this child to me. Don’t worry, leaders.”

This had nothing to do with Li Yan. He finally escaped from this vortex of praise and left the teaching building amid Guo Qiwen’s helpless smile.

Teacher Guo, you take it first.

As soon as Li Yan returned to the dormitory, she lay down directly. Zhu Qinglun let out an "Ah" and was about to start praising the group, but was ruthlessly stopped by Li Yan.

"If possible, praise me again tonight. I'm almost numb."

Everyone was confused and waited for Lin Heng to come back with his packed food. Lin Heng put the food on Li Yan's table and shook his head, "To be honest, even if I were in this situation, my face would twitch at least once."

Everyone seems to understand.

Ding!
[Stamina +2, Level 28 skill, total ]

Ah? A roundabout way to save the country, but it really has been overdrawn?
However, he quickly realized that another reason for the improvement was his extremely high concentration during the performance.

The radiation effect came instantly, and the fourth-level skills "Concentration" and "Willpower" directly reached 56 points.

Li Yan jumped up from the bed.

[The data previously suspended should also be reported]

【…】

[System master, please compile the statistics of the data that I randomly suspended. Thank you for your hard work.]

[Music +2, third-level skill, total 23; radiation singing, musical instruments, music theory, arrangement, composition, fourth-level skills, total 46]

Li Yan couldn't wait to perform on TV.

Over there, Lin Heng was still explaining to everyone how tiring it was to be surrounded and bombarded. Over here, Li Yan's eyes were clear and she was ready to "appreciate the advantages of the cultural performance."

"You've recovered already? You said you were exhausted?" Lin Heng was speechless.

Zhu Qinglun let out another "Ah" and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about:
"Are you and the beautiful senior sister real?"

You are worthy of it... Li Yan chose to go to his seat and eat quietly.

At the same time, Wang Hang sat in Wang Peihua's Crown car, preparing to go to the dinner party with the bigwigs.

"Spend more time with this Li Yan." Wang Peihua stopped there. He knew his son's temper. He was very competitive but not hardworking enough. He had been helpless about this for a long time.

"it is good."

Wang Peihua was startled and glanced at his son through the rearview mirror. What's wrong with this kid? Why doesn't he lose his temper or retort after hearing such words?
"During the meal, Chairman Yang, your Uncle Li, and Uncle Tan will all praise him. You should be more generous."

"Okay." Wang Hang sighed softly, "He is really... amazing."

Li Yan also felt that he was very capable. During the afternoon class, the way everyone looked at him was not much different from when they met the star they were chasing on the street, full of eagerness, curiosity, admiration... and even awe.

This feeling is quite refreshing.

The boys surrounded him as if he were a god as soon as the get out of class was over, and they spent a long time without knowing what to ask him.

Li Yan knew what gossip they wanted to ask about the most, but because Lin Zhengmo was sitting in front of him, they were afraid that there might be some Shuras going on here, so they could only suppress their curiosity and chat about trivial things.

The girls, led by Su Ya, expressed their affection for Li Yan without any shyness.

As to whether it was admiration, adoration or some affection, it was left to Li Yan to judge for herself.

Transcendence, this is the transcendent status.

This is the fucking meaning of my rebirth!
He simply fulfilled all his fantasies about his student days before his rebirth, it was like a dream.

On the way back from school, Li Yan even pinched herself, grimacing in pain, fearing that it was all just a dream.

Who wouldn’t feel proud after being reborn?
Thinking about the past month, I have gained a lot from this cultural performance.

On the system side, the data related to music and performances skyrocketed, which was the most obvious improvement. The energy level breaking through to 28 was even more surprising.

Two very important skills, imagination and comprehension, also successfully exceeded 50%, which made me feel so happy.

The performance was a huge success, and it was also the first step to spread the reputation beyond the campus. The resources promised by the leaders were exciting, although there was also the effect of "the more we talk, the more excited we are".

What is more interesting is the famous alumnus of New Taipei First High School, cartoonist Cao Xinshuo, who was introduced by Yang Chengzhang later. Li Yan himself is very interested in drawing comics.

Editor-in-Chief Sun even wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with Li Yan on the spot - this was a typical case of talking too much, and although it soon turned into a joke, it was inevitable that she would be prominently featured in the New Taipei Daily this time.

Perhaps, Li Yan took this step out of the circle of comparison with her peers after the art performance.

Of course, it would be too boring to only talk about the practical significance.

For Li Yan, the greatest significance of her birthday was that she gave a wonderful show that shocked the audience and captured a moment in 08.

It is a shining gem.

His youth before rebirth did not have such a stunning moment when he suddenly looked back on the stage.

One cannot have both youth and the feeling of youth, but I have them.

Li Yan curled her lips, turned on the computer while waiting to take a shower, and confidently logged into the Qiyuan Chinese website, clicked on the work management, and found the reader interaction.

"What a piece of shit."

56 likes.

With a slap in the face, Li Yan's soul floating in the air was hammered to the ground.
