Chapter 140 A Song, A Story

In the emergency room, Liu Qin arrived first, followed by Principal Song.

Lu Yanhe sat outside the emergency room, still shaken, and greeted them, his face pale.

Liu Qin patted him on the shoulder.

At that moment, she didn't know what to say.

She looked at Chen Ziyan sitting next to Lu Yanhe, somewhat puzzled by her identity.

Chen Ziyan smiled slightly at her, stood up, and said, "I'm from Xingyu Entertainment. Since you're here, I'll be leaving now."

Lu Yanhe turned to look at her.

After the incident, chaos ensued. It was only after a long time that the ambulance and police arrived that Lu Yanhe got into the ambulance, but he was at a loss and had no experience in handling the situation. Fortunately, Chen Ziyan came with him at this time, answered questions, handled the relevant procedures, and helped Lu Yanhe contact the school.

"Thank you," he said to her.

Chen Ziyan: "I know your mind must be a mess right now. We can talk about our things properly another time."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded.

Chen Ziyan turned and left.

Principal Song ran over.

"How is Xiao Su?" he asked anxiously.

"They're still trying to save her," Liu Qin said.

Principal Song angrily cursed, "That woman wasn't satisfied with making Xiao Su leave Jiang Guang, she even chased after her after Xiao Su who had already fled to Yu Ming! She's insane! She's a complete madwoman!"

Liu Qin put her hand on Lu Yanhe's shoulder and patted it gently, saying, "Yanhe, we're here for you. You go back to school first. You have classes this afternoon. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"Then I'll be going now."

Principal Song glanced at him, seemingly realizing there was still one student present, and managed to control his emotions slightly, ceasing his scolding.

Lu Yanhe left the hospital.

The scene that had just happened was still vividly imprinted in his mind.

He couldn't understand why Yuan Yi could speak to Su Su so calmly after doing such a terrible thing.

When a person is dazed, they don't pay attention to their surroundings when they walk, as if they have been detached from the world around them, and they can't even hear sounds.

It wasn't until someone tapped him on the shoulder that Lu Yanhe snapped out of his daze.

"What are you spacing out for? I've called you at least five times, and you haven't answered me."

The person who appeared in front of Lu Yanhe was none other than Lin Miaomiao, who had come to his dressing room to interview him when he was recording "Little Song Gathering".

"You... what are you doing here?" Lu Yanhe looked at her in surprise.

Lin Miaomiao said, "I was just about to ask you that, how did you get out of the hospital?"

Lu Yanhe: "I...I just brought someone to the hospital."

"I knew it! It's not school time now, you're not at school, you're here." Lin Miaomiao looked surprised. "I heard that 'Little Song Gathering' was going to invite you to the show again, why didn't you go?"

"The agent won't allow it."

Lin Miaomiao frowned. "Why? Do you think your first appearance on the show didn't go well? You did really well."

"That's not the reason. It's a personal grudge. He doesn't want me to be on TV and get more exposure," Lu Yanhe explained simply. "I have to go back to school. I'll be going now."

"Wait a minute," Lin Miaomiao called out to him immediately. "I'll give you a ride. My driver is waiting for me over there. You're going to No. 13 Middle School, right? It's on the way."

Lu Yanhe looked at her in surprise, "Really? Thank you then."

Lin Miaomiao laughed, "It was just a small thing, no need to thank me."

After getting in the car, Lin Miaomiao said to the driver, "Take him to No. 13 Middle School first."

After exchanging a few words with Lin Miaomiao, Lu Yanhe's mind became less scattered.

He took a deep breath and asked Lin Miaomiao, "What are you doing at the hospital?"

"Me? I came to pick up some medicine; I haven't been feeling well these past few days," Lin Miaomiao said. "But what personal grudge could you possibly have with your agent? He won't let you go on shows; he doesn't like you. Did you offend him?"

"Who knows?"

"If you really offended him, you should apologize to him properly. You're an artist; if your manager doesn't like you, how can you survive?"

"We'll see. Anyway, I don't have the energy to deal with these things right now. I'm exhausted from just attending classes and reviewing every day."

"Oh, right, you're still in your senior year of high school."

“You…you don’t look any older than me, how come you’ve already started working? How old are you?” Lu Yanhe asked.

Lin Miaomiao's eyes darted around, and she said, "Anyway, I'm older than you."

“It doesn’t look like it,” Lu Yanhe said. “You’re not a host, but you were able to impersonate one at Aurora Borealis last time. Is your family a high-ranking member at Aurora Borealis?”

"Stop bringing up the fact that I impersonated a host!" Lin Miaomiao pouted, a little angry. "I only did it for fun, how does that make me impersonate someone? It makes it seem like I have ulterior motives."

"Alright."

"You're not planning to work for the next six months?" Lin Miaomiao asked. "If you want to be on a TV show, I can ask a relative to help me get an introduction."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it now. I'll ask for your help again if I need it in the future."

"How did you find me? You don't even have my contact information." Lin Miaomiao took out her phone, opened her business card QR code, and handed it to Lu Yanhe. "Add me."

Lu Yanhe was just being polite, but he didn't expect the other party to actually hand over the QR code.

He took out his phone and scanned the code.

Lin Miaomiao's profile picture is a little rabbit lying in bed looking at the moon outside the window.

Pretty cute.

"You're only 17?" As soon as Lu Yanhe added her as a friend, he immediately saw her profile.

Lin Miaomiao was shocked, but then she realized that her personal information had betrayed her.

"Well, well... fine, I'm just a year younger than you, so what?" Lin Miaomiao snorted. "So what if you're older than me?"

Lu Yanhe: "I didn't say that. I was just curious about how old you are."

“Even if I’m a year younger than you, I’m not that much younger,” Lin Miaomiao said.

"oh."

"You—" Lin Miaomiao suddenly wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back down. "Never mind, let's talk about it after you finish your college entrance exam. Good luck, don't let people laugh at you if you don't get into Zhenhua or Yuming."

Lu Yanhe was shocked.

“You are the first person who thinks I will be laughed at for not getting into Zhenhua or Yuming. Others question why I think I can get in, and why anyone would laugh at me.”

"Then let's pass the exam and show them," Lin Miaomiao said.

At this point, the car pulled over and stopped.

The driver said, "Miss, we've arrived at No. 13 Middle School."

Lin Miaomiao said "Oh," and then added, "We've arrived. Bye-bye, you must pass the exam!"

Lu Yanhe smiled, "Okay, I'll definitely pass the exam."

“This is our agreement, you can’t go back on your word,” Lin Miaomiao said.

"So if I don't pass the exam, it means I'm in breach of contract? Oh well, it's a deal. Anyway, I don't have to pay a penalty if I don't pass." Lu Yanhe opened the car door. "I'm leaving, thanks."

"Bye-bye." Lin Miaomiao looked at him. "See you later."

-

If the scene at the coffee shop cast an unbelievable shadow over Lu Yanhe's life, then his chance encounter with Lin Miaomiao and his conversation with her were like a gentle light that soothed that shadow, like being magically exorcised from a negative status effect by a beautiful priestess in a game.

This was my third time meeting Lin Miaomiao, and I finally didn't feel like I was about to be choked to death by this little girl again.

Seventeen years old.

She is one year younger than him.

He had even disguised himself as a recent college graduate when he interviewed him.

Lu Yanhe walked into the school, glanced back, and saw that the car had just started to move and was about to leave.

Seeing Lu Yanhe turn around, Lin Miaomiao, who was sitting in the car watching him, immediately turned her head and looked around, "Did you leave something in the car?"

Lin Miaomiao searched around but couldn't find him. When she looked up again, Lu Yanhe had already walked into the school.

"Hmph!" Lin Miaomiao realized that she had just been overthinking things.

-

When Lu Yanhe returned to the classroom, the first class of the afternoon had already begun.

According to the timetable, the second period is history class.

But Lu Yanhe knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to attend the second class later.

I don't know what to do.

Lu Yanhe kept getting distracted, the scene in the coffee shop flashing through his mind.

After class, Lu Yanhe was still in a daze when Li Pengfei patted him and asked, "Old Lu, where did you go at noon? I haven't seen you all afternoon."

Lu Yanhe snapped out of his daze, turned to look at Li Pengfei, and said, "At noon, I went to meet with people from the company and ran into—"

"Holy crap! Teacher Su Su is being treated at the hospital!" Zhou Ziyu suddenly shouted, filled with shock.

His shout drew the attention of the entire class.

"What did you say?!" Mei Ping stood up from her seat in shock, looking at Zhou Ziyu in disbelief.

The other people were just as shocked.

Chou Tzu-yu held up her phone and said, "I just received a message saying that I was stabbed at noon!"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Chou Tzu-yu was surrounded by everyone.

What's going on?

"Yes, how come Teacher Su was suddenly stabbed?"

"That's terrifying!"

"How could someone as good as Teacher Su encounter such a thing?"

...

Lu Yanhe sat down and let out a sigh of relief.

He had been stammering and hesitant, unsure how to bring it up with Li Pengfei, but Zhou Ziyu did.

Li Pengfei did not go.

Although he also looked shocked, he looked at Lu Yanhe and asked, "What did you encounter at noon?"

Lu Yanhe said, "It's about what Zhou Ziyu just mentioned."

Li Pengfei looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise, lowered his voice, and asked in astonishment, "You saw Teacher Su get stabbed?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded. "I just got back from the hospital."

"What happened? How could Teacher Su have been stabbed so suddenly?" Li Pengfei asked. "Did she run into a madman?"

Lu Yanhe's brain twitched inexplicably.

This was the third time he had heard the word "madman" today.

He shook his head and said, "The person who stabbed Teacher Su was his ex-girlfriend. She had even blocked Teacher Su at the school gate before. I... I'm still a bit dazed. It all happened so suddenly."

Li Pengfei glanced at the group of people surrounding Zhou Ziyu and said, "How about we go to the convenience store?"

Lu Yanhe also wanted to go out for some fresh air, so he nodded.

Once outside, it was much easier for the two of them to talk, without worrying about being overheard by their classmates.

"You don't want everyone to know about this?"

“It doesn’t feel like a good thing,” Lu Yanhe said. “Teacher Su’s ex-girlfriend has appeared several times already, and I’ve run into her several times. Although Teacher Su hasn’t told me directly, I feel that he doesn’t really want everyone to know about her.”

"How can things be so crazy these days?" Li Pengfei looked incredulous. "The news is full of stories like this, where love turns to hate. Men throw sulfuric acid at women, and women cut off men's penises. It's unbelievable."

Lu Yanhe gave a wry smile.

"But Teacher Su will definitely be fine, don't worry," Li Pengfei said confidently.

"It's really strange. I was there when I saw Mr. Su being stabbed in the chest. I was stunned. But his ex-girlfriend suddenly said to me, 'Don't shout, he won't die.' Even though she had just done something so terrible, she acted like nothing had happened."

"I can't understand it." Li Pengfei shook his head as well.

The two of them looked up at the sky at the same time.

In December, the winter sky was as gloomy as the face of a sick person, exuding an inescapable gloom and melancholy.

Li Pengfei said, "It felt like things had finally calmed down for a while, and then something else happened."

September was a turbulent month for Class 3. October and November were relatively peaceful for two months, but now this has happened again.

The two arrived at the convenience store and each bought a bag of hot milk to drink.

After a long silence, Li Pengfei said, "However, with Teacher Su suddenly injured, will we have to change teachers for history again?"

"That's possible," Lu Yanhe nodded.

Li Pengfei: "They're not going to switch Yin Xiangyu back again, are they?"

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "That's possible."

Li Pengfei silently shook his head.

"That would be terrible."

During the second history class, Yin Xiangyu was absent, but Old Chen arrived.

He walked in with his usual smile and said, "You didn't expect me to come in, did you? Your teacher, Ms. Su, has something to attend to, so she asked me to teach this class instead of in English."

After he finished speaking, he found that he did not get the reaction he had expected.

These little brats, they'd either cheer or sigh, they definitely wouldn't be so quiet now.

Old Chen's smile faded slightly. He looked at everyone's faces, paused for two seconds, and tentatively asked, "You already know?"

"I understand, Teacher Chen," Li Cui said in a sullen voice.

Old Chen: "Alright, then I won't hide it from you anymore. But don't worry too much. I just got news that your teacher, Ms. Su, has been rescued and is out of danger."

He saw the students below the stage suddenly look up, their eyes shining as they stared at him, a look of joy on their faces.

"So, I know you're all worried about Teacher Su, but Teacher Su certainly doesn't want you to let worrying about him delay your studies. I know it's difficult, but let's work together and not waste these forty minutes, okay?" Old Chen said with a smile. "Later tonight, I'll go to the hospital to visit him on your behalf. It wouldn't be right to tell him that because he's injured, you're all not in the mood to study."

The students in the class finally gave some feedback.

"Sigh—" A group of eighteen- or nineteen-year-old kids sighed one after another.

Old Chen opened the book, but didn't talk about the knowledge in the textbook.

He paused, then said, “There’s a line in Hemingway’s novel *The Old Man and the Sea*: ‘What does not kill us will make us stronger.’ It’s not particularly fitting here, but that line just came to mind. I think you understand what I’m trying to convey. In life, we encounter many unexpected events like today, whether they happen to people around us or to ourselves. They happen suddenly, but when they do, we must face them. We cannot be defeated; we must constantly strengthen ourselves, be resilient, and not be controlled by our emotions. We must know what we can do and what we should do. We are not doctors; we cannot help Professor Su recover better, nor can we visit him now to comfort him. We can only do what we can do now. For me, it’s about teaching this lesson well; for you, it’s about not wasting these forty minutes.”

-

Liu Qin returned during evening self-study.

She went to the classroom immediately and told everyone about Teacher Su's situation.

Teacher Su is out of danger and is under observation in the hospital. He also asked her to tell everyone that he will not accept visits and that they should not worry about him.

"History classes will be temporarily taught by other history teachers." Liu Qin sighed inwardly.

Since Su Su arrived, the history scores of Class 3 have been rising rapidly, like a rocket.

His greatest skill is inspiring students to want to learn history and develop an interest in the subject.

But at this most crucial moment, this happened.

Liu Qin felt a pang of sadness, both for Teacher Su and for the students.

Everyone had already guessed that the history class would be taught by another teacher, but hearing it with their own ears still made them feel a little uncomfortable.

However, since this has happened, this is the only way.

-

Fortunately, although it is difficult for young students to accept a sudden accident, they can quickly get rid of the negative emotional impact after the incident.

Lu Yanhe originally thought he would still be shaken for several days, but after learning that Teacher Su was alright, when he woke up the next day, apart from still not understanding Yuan Yi's behavior and feeling inexplicable and bewildered by it, he no longer felt the numbness he had yesterday.

The only thing that was hard to adapt to was the constantly changing substitute history teachers.

Yes, that's right. The school didn't assign them a fixed substitute teacher. Instead, the history teaching and research group teachers took turns teaching them, each responsible for one lesson based on Su Su's previous lesson plan.

As a result, the quality of each lesson varies.

After two days, Lu Yanhe began to seriously recall what Chen Ziyan had said to him that noon.

This was his second most important matter.

The identity of an artist is definitely something he wants. In just a few months, Lu Yanhe has already felt the many benefits that this identity brings him. The biggest benefit is not the "protection from being persecuted by that dark hand" that he made up on the spot. That's really the only way to put it. For him right now, the biggest benefit of being an artist is making money.

The student had no money. Given his family background, he was an orphan with only an uncle who wanted to be a skinflint but failed.

If I didn't become an artist, and I got into university, I would have to work part-time to support myself for the next four years.

Therefore, if we're going to do it, we need to find a way to break the deadlock and prevent Zhou Ping'an and the people behind him from hindering him.

Of all the people Lu Yanhe knows, the only one who has the means and the willingness to help him is Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yanhe carefully considered his conversation with Chen Ziyan several times before slowly realizing what had happened.

Chen Ziyan seemed to be asking him for a reason.

With so many troubles troubling you, and your future inevitably facing obstacles, if you won't give up on this path now, what about your future? Why should I take you with me? Give me a reason.

Lu Yanhe searched for Chen Ziyan during the noon period.

Sure enough, there was information about her online.

This legendary agent is extremely famous even though he is not a public figure.

Two A-list stars, Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou, were both mentored by her from their early days and remain her partners to this day. Besides these two, Chen Ziyan also mentored Mao Bingyu, a once-popular actress. Media outlets have said that if Mao Bingyu hadn't retired at the height of her career, she would have become Chen Ziyan's third A-list star.

After Chen Ziyan joined Xingyu Entertainment, she mentored Zhang Lan, one of the company's three leading actresses, and also helped Jiang Yuqian, another leading actress, rise to fame.

However, after Zhang Lan became famous, it seems that some unpleasantness occurred between her and Chen Ziyan, and her agent was changed to Shi Zhou. Of course, whether there was any unpleasantness, and how unpleasant it was, no one knows.

In conclusion, Chen Ziyan's career as an agent can be described as unsuccessful. Whether male or female artists, those she has managed have all become popular or extremely famous stars.

Because of her past outstanding achievements, everyone in the industry trusts Chen Ziyan's judgment.

But looking at it this way, Chen Ziyan seems to be a person without any personal labels or characteristics.

The information available online is all about Chen Ziyan's academic achievements, but there is no information about Chen Ziyan herself.

She has no information about her personality, her life experiences, or the celebrities she likes.

What kind of answer did Chen Ziyan want to hear from him?

Star Entertainment Agency.

Vice President Ma looked at the woman sitting across from him. Although he was her superior in terms of administrative rank, he had no real authority over her.

As a top agent personally invited to the company by General Manager Hong, her relationship with the company is more like a partnership than an employer-employee relationship.

Vice President Ma had also heard that the reason Chen Ziyan was only an agent at Xingyu was not because the company was unwilling to give her a senior management title, but because she herself was unwilling.

"Ziyan, how's your selection going?" Vice President Ma asked.

Chen Ziyan smiled and said, "I'm watching it now."

"Your choice of people is always unpredictable. The first one you picked was Tu Song. Before that, I had no impression of this name at all."

Upon hearing Vice President Ma's words, Chen Ziyan knew that Zhou Ping'an must not have told him about the relationship between Tu Song and Mao Bingyu.

Thinking about it, it's understandable. After all, Zhou Ping'an didn't know about this relationship before, which buried Tu Song's talent. If Vice President Ma knew, he would definitely blame him for his poor performance. It's better to keep it a secret.

Chen Ziyan didn't say much, as she herself was not too willing to let many people know that Tu Song was chosen by Mao Bingyu because of their relationship.

Chen Ziyan said, "For us agents, it's all about first impressions when dealing with artists."

Vice President Ma: "Yes, but I heard you've inquired about Lu Yanhe from many people before? Are you interested in him?"

"Oh, Mr. Ma seems to have quite a few informants in the company." Chen Ziyan's smile immediately faded.

"Don't mind me, I just overheard everyone chatting, there were no informants involved," Vice President Ma immediately said.

Casual chat? What idiot would go and chat with a company vice president like you?

Chen Ziyan's expression remained unchanged as she asked, "I'm interested in Lu Yanhe, is there a problem?"

“Him? He does have some issues,” Vice President Ma said. “You can choose any other person you like, but Ziyan, you should reconsider him.”

"Yes, I am indeed considering it. I'm quite curious about the process of getting to know him. Why are you targeting him like this?" Chen Ziyan asked him with a smile.

"Haha, Ziyan, why would I target a nobody like her?" Vice President Ma immediately laughed.

Chen Ziyan, however, was not buying it. She spread her hands, smiled, and said, "This is also what I don't understand. Who gave you any benefits that made you come here specifically to remind me not to bring him?"

Vice President Ma was still smiling, but deep down he felt a sense of unease and didn't know what to say at this moment.

“No, I just… simply don’t like this artist,” he said. “Because he’s too cold-blooded and doesn’t know how to be grateful.”

"Huh?" Chen Ziyan laughed in surprise. "Why do you say that?"

"He...he's from the countryside, you should know that, right?"

"Um."

"His parents are both dead. His uncle brought him out and sent him to participate in the competition. But after he became famous, he turned his back on his uncle and refused to associate with him," said Vice President Ma. "Such a child, so young and already so ungrateful, I don't like this kind of ingrate. So I despise him."

Chen Ziyan nodded.

"I see."

"Yes, that's why I advised you not to consider him. With an excellent agent like you, he's not worth it."

"Okay." Chen Ziyan nodded. "I understand."

Vice President Ma smiled.

-

After Chen Ziyan left, the smile on Vice President Ma's face slowly faded.

He frowned slightly.

What's been going on with Lu Yanhe these past few months?

For the past two years, no one had paid any attention to him, but in the last few months, one after another, people have taken a liking to him, wanting to collaborate with him, wanting to mentor him, and showing interest in him.

How did he suddenly receive two "Heroic Acts" banners?

Because of these two banners, they had to be wary of Lu Yanhe and dared not go too far. Otherwise, if Lu Yanhe were to expose anything, they would be under tremendous public pressure.

After all, it's simply unreasonable to force someone who has received two "good Samaritan" awards from the police to terminate their contract before it expires and when Lu Yanhe has no substantial issues of principle.

Fortunately, they managed to persuade Chen Ziyan to stay calm.

Vice President Ma laughed smugly.

ungrateful.

That's a good point.

That's how it will be from now on.

-

The snow has finally stopped.

Lu Yanhe sat in the classroom, looking out the window.

Unfortunately, there's a corridor outside the window, and you have to cross the corridor to see a patch of sky.

Sitting in the classroom all the time is really a bit boring.

"It's so boring." Li Pengfei's initial enthusiasm has worn off, and now he's getting restless. He can't help but stop and rest after doing some problems. "Every day it's just reading and doing problems, doing problems and reading, all that stuff. My head is spinning."

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Then look at Lin Yu and the others, how long have they been persisting like this?"

Li Pengfei exclaimed, "That's why they're so amazing."

"Didn't you say you wanted to surpass Luo Zicheng? You haven't achieved that goal yet."

"I now feel that surpassing Luo Zicheng is meaningless; he doesn't even deserve to be my target."

"Whether he's good enough or not, you should surpass him before saying such things."

"hehe."

"Hey, did you guys see that post on the forum?" Jiang Haitian suddenly asked them.

"What post?" Li Pengfei asked.

“You really don’t know,” Jiang Haitian said immediately. “Someone posted on our school’s online forum that there’s a couple in our class who’s been keeping it a secret from everyone. Now everyone’s curious about who they are.”

"Huh?" Li Pengfei looked disgusted. "Who cares about these things? Let them date secretly."

"Aren't you even a little curious? The post says this couple is completely unimaginable, a combination no one could have predicted."

"What's it to me? You guys are just bored and curious about this kind of thing." Li Pengfei didn't care at all.

At that moment, Xu Zijun walked in through the back door.

She silently walked to her seat with her head down.

Li Pengfei glanced at her and said, "Anyway, the college entrance exam is only a few months away, so let them talk however they want."

-

The re-examinations for independent enrollment have also begun one after another this month.

Lin Yu, Chen Yi, Chen Qin, and others took leave one after another to participate in the re-examination of independent enrollment.

This also includes Chu Saiying.

Since the 200,000 yuan incident was exposed, Chu Saiying's presence in the class has become very low.

Sometimes, people even forget that such a person exists in the class.

However, his grades kept getting better and better.

Lu Yanhe is not the only one who has been making progress; Chu Saiying is another example.

He usually ranks between 50th and 70th in his grade, but now he's ranked 30th.

The entire Class 3, especially the students at the front, were striving to move forward.

Perhaps because the college entrance examination is getting closer and everyone is under more and more pressure, they have started to gossip frequently during breaks.

So-and-so and so-and-so used to be together, so-and-so's family actually does what, and so on. All sorts of gossip—anyway, as long as they could briefly escape from studying, everyone would chat, their eyes shining with excitement.

Then, the conversation inevitably turned to the topic on the school's online forum about a couple in their class who were secretly dating.

Everyone is curious to know who these two people are.

Because of this atmosphere, you could often hear things like—

"Meiping, you're not dating someone, are you?"

Mei Ping rolled her eyes and glared fiercely: "Who do I stand with?"

This is a style.

There is another style.

"Li Cui, you always seem to be talking to Bai Yu all the time. Are you two secretly dating?"

"Don't slander me! I was looking for Bai Yu for something else."

"What else could you two be up to?"

"None of your business!"

"Then it seems it's you guys!"

"It's us! I'm about to be hit by a car and killed!"

"..."

It caused complete chaos.

In this atmosphere, Lu Yanhe remained aloof and did not get involved.

He didn't care who was secretly dating.

Anyway, this isn't the era when touching hands would make you blush.

He kept thinking about how to send a message to Chen Ziyan and ask her to have another serious talk with him.

He felt that Chen Ziyan had not lost interest in him, or was afraid of these troubles.

Of course, these are just his feelings, and he's not sure.

Therefore, he had no choice but to have a serious talk with Chen Ziyan face to face once again.

He wanted to convince Chen Ziyan to trust him and become his manager.

Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously for a long time, and wrote down the two titles, "Lost in Thailand" and "Childhood," on a piece of paper.

"What's this?" Li Pengfei asked in surprise when he saw the two names written on the paper. "Are you planning to write another song?"

Lu Yanhe said, "One is a song, and the other... is a story."

"story?"

“Yes, I had a dream about this story yesterday,” Lu Yanhe said.

-

"You wrote another song?"

That evening, in the dormitory, Yan Liang and Li Zhibai looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"I've been humming it for the past couple of days and it just came out naturally," Lu Yanhe said. "But I don't know how to write sheet music, so could you help me put it into a score?"

Li Zhibai said, "This can only be left to Yan Liang; I don't know how to do it either."

Of the three, only Yan Liang consistently attended these basic music theory classes diligently.

Lu Yanhe's original self did attend, but having lived in the countryside, his foundation was too weak, and he couldn't keep up at all.

Yan Liang nodded and said, "Okay, then you sing it, and I'll write it down for you."

Lu Yanhe sang "Childhood" from beginning to end.

This song became a hit across the country.

It's simple, uncomplicated, and catchy; almost everyone can sing it, making it a memory of an era.

The more a song is like this, the more it has a timeless and infectious power when it is sung for the first time to people who have never heard it before.

Lu Yanhe chose this song after making many choices.

"My Deskmate" is a song about reminiscing about the past many years after graduation. "You Are the Apple of My Eye" only has that emotional impact when paired with a movie. As for Jay Chou and JJ Lin's songs, Lu Yanhe feels that he is not suitable for them because of his age and because he cannot sing them in that style.

There are many singers who have covered Jay Chou and JJ Lin's songs, and many singers with strong singing skills, but very few can sing with their own feeling, make people feel comfortable, and move the audience on a large scale. Before time travel, Lu Yanhe only remembered that G.E.M.'s "Tornado" and Terry Lin's "Fireworks Fade Easily" were popular, and then nothing else.

Some songs only have the ability to spread and resonate with a particular singer.

Lu Yanhe has a clear understanding of himself.

He's not some kind of genius singer; he has a good voice, but he's not the kind of prodigy who can amaze people the moment he opens his mouth like Zhou Shen.

"Remembrance" and "Childhood" are both songs with greater universality. Anyone who sings them, as long as they don't mess up, will be moved by the content and emotions expressed in the songs, as long as they have lived through that period of time.

Similarly, Lu Yanhe, a child who grew up in the countryside and mountains, came to the city at the age of fifteen. He was lucky enough to become an artist because of participating in a competition, but he quickly became unpopular after his debut. With such an experience, he can only carry a limited range of song styles.

When he sings "Remembrance", no one is surprised because he is a senior in high school.

When he sings "Childhood," no one is surprised, because everyone has a childhood.

But if he sings "A Thousand Years Later" or "Nunchucks," not to mention whether Lu Yanhe is suitable for these songs, if others hear these songs, they will feel that these songs are somewhat out of place with him.

After Lu Yanhe finished singing "Childhood" a cappella, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang stared at him in astonishment, remaining silent for a long time.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

“This song…” Yan Liang scratched his chin, “is very nice.”

"Yes, it's really nice to listen to." Li Zhibai nodded as well. "I was completely absorbed in it."

"Are you talking about your own childhood?" Yan Liang asked.

—On the big tree by the pond, cicadas are chirping, heralding the arrival of summer.

—On the swings by the playground, only butterflies rest.

—The teacher's chalk on the blackboard was still writing frantically, chattering away.

—A childhood spent waiting for get out of class to end, waiting for school to end, waiting for games.

...

Lu Yanhe replaced the banyan tree with a large tree because there were no banyan trees in the mountain village where he grew up.

This song, composed by Lo Ta-yu, uses a few simple descriptions to depict scenes that resonate with everyone's childhood.

Yan Liang looked at Lu Yanhe in amazement, "So you really can write songs."

Lu Yanhe: "I don't know how, but I've been humming to myself these past few days, and these melodies have slowly appeared in my mind."

"What a genius!" Li Zhibai said to him. "It's so good, Lao Lu. Can I cover this song sometime?"

“Of course,” Lu Yanhe said.

He sensed that after he sang the song, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang's attitudes towards him subtly changed, as if they had developed more respect for him.

Lu Yanhe said, "I plan to take this song to Chen Ziyan."

“If she can’t appreciate how good this song is, that’s her problem,” Li Zhibai said immediately and decisively. “If you didn’t write this, I’ll call my dad right now and have him buy it for me.”

Lu Yanhe laughed.

Looking at Yan Liang and Li Zhibai, and thinking about their help and care over the past few months, especially the two years they spent together in the original owner's memories, Lu Yanhe couldn't help but say, "If I have any inspiration in the future, I'll write a poem for each of you, as long as I can write it."

Yan Liang and Li Zhibai's eyes lit up.

After the songs "Remembrance" and "Childhood," they now have great faith in Lu Yanhe's songwriting abilities.

“Really? No way, I’ve already taken it seriously, there’s no 'fake' about it.” Li Zhibai immediately said, “Honestly, this is the kind of song I want to sing as a singer.”

Yan Liang was also full of anticipation.

"Me too."

“You’re worried you’ll starve if you can’t be an artist? You can support yourself just by writing songs,” Li Zhibai said.

Lu Yanhe shook his head. "I can't write songs. I hummed these two songs slowly. I hummed 'Commemoration' for about half a year and 'Childhood' for about four months before I hummed them little by little. If I were to make a living by writing songs, I could write three songs a year and I would still starve to death."

He was making up an excuse for himself in advance.

He doesn't have a large repertoire of songs, and every song he uses is one less he has. If people really think he's a great songwriter and all come to him to buy his songs, that would be a big problem. Refusing others would offend them quite a bit.

Lu Yanhe was only willing to write a poem for Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, as promised.

These two teammates, roommates, and friends are the people Lu Yanhe has truly spent every day with since he came into this world.

These two people genuinely considered him a friend, supported him, and helped him.

Lu Yanhe had long wanted to thank them, but he had nothing now except for the "Music Library" from another world.

They are all artists, and they can all sing.

Giving each of them a song is the most precious gift Lu Yanhe can offer.

With Yan Liang's help, Lu Yanhe finished writing the score for "Childhood". After returning to his room, he began writing the story of "Lost in Thailand".

Lu Yanhe had only watched this movie twice. He remembered the plot and some memorable lines, but he couldn't perfectly replicate it.

When choosing a movie story, Lu Yanhe knew very well that he had to pick a story that was highly creative and immediately interesting.

So, Lu Yanhe thought of the movie "Lost in Thailand".

This is a road comedy set against the backdrop of the Spring Festival travel rush. Although Lu Yanhe doesn't understand dramatic reasoning, he knows that the story itself is interesting and engaging. When the movie was first released, many people laughed until they cried. It was later developed into a series, and the second installment broke domestic film box office records.

He spent three days writing the story in two thousand words, and then sent Chen Ziyan a message: Hello, I have written a song and a story, and I would like to ask for your guidance.

He sent Chen Ziyan the sheet music for "Childhood" and the story of "Lost in Thailand".

He added: I don't know if you're free tomorrow at noon, so I can hear your evaluation in person?
