Chapter 127 I really like this nickname
Shu Han is easy to talk to and very approachable to club members. He usually agrees to let people leave for personal reasons and has never rejected anyone's application.
“Lu Yinzhao isn’t a department head, he’s just an ordinary member. Trying to retain him like this is probably impossible. Our swimming association hasn’t been established for many years, and there aren’t many people signing up to begin with. If we set up more rules, I’m afraid no one will join next year.”
"..."
"Moreover, our club is more of an interest-based organization, unlike the school's library association, which requires submitting a written application and then having it reviewed and approved by a teacher before being removed from the register."
"..."
“I understand your desire to keep them, but this kind of rejection won't just fail to retain them, it might also cause dissatisfaction among some members. Lao Ge, how about we just give up…”
Shu Han had no idea that Ge Yinghao was pursuing Lu Yinzhao; he was only speaking from his own perspective and in a businesslike manner.
Shu Han assumed that Ge Yinghao's sudden intense behavior was an attempt to get Lu Yinzhao to stay and participate in the later swimming competition.
Ge Yinghao calmed down a bit after hearing Shu Han's words; he had lost control of his emotions earlier.
He exhaled and smiled again, saying, "Shu Han, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I was thinking... could we try to persuade Junior Lu to stay in a gentler way?"
"In what way?"
"When the club gets together next week, go and invite Lu Yinzhao. Tell him it's his last meal before leaving the club. Once the atmosphere is more harmonious at the table, we, the department members, will try to persuade him gently. If he still doesn't agree, then forget it. But if he does agree, it will be a good thing for our club. What do you think?"
Ge Yinghao calmly offered his opinion, and Shu Han stroked his chin after listening.
"Okay, I'll go ask him if he's coming."
Ge Yinghao immediately corrected him: "Don't ask him directly like that. If you say that, he definitely won't come. You have to sincerely invite him. Just say that you admire him and want to discuss some swimming techniques with him."
"I see... You know him so well?" Shu Han raised an eyebrow, looking at Ge Yinghao with some surprise.
He wasn't very good at interpersonal relationships, unlike Ge Yinghao who was good at winning people over. Shu Han sometimes envied Ge Yinghao's skills.
The new students in those clubs seemed to have a better relationship with Ge Yinghao, the vice president, while everyone kept their distance from him, the president.
Ge Yinghao smiled without saying a word. After giving Shu Han a few more instructions, he left the office.
If Shu Han invites Lu Yinzhao to dinner this time, then he will have another chance to get to know Lu Yinzhao.
He was determined to get Lu Yinzhao.
...
Online, following the completion of the second stage recording of "The Voice of China", ambiguous behind-the-scenes photos appeared on some social media platforms.
Because the second stage has an audience, the audience will vote by name after the competition.
However, they cannot reveal any details about the stage performance before the show airs.
Those audience members who wanted to share how shocked they were by the performance could only scratch their heads and scream wildly on the internet to express their overwhelming emotions.
One blogger posted: "[This year's 'The Voice of China' was absolutely the best ever! I was so lucky to be selected as an audience member; this is a performance you can't see even if you pay money! The guest seats were also incredible. I can't say more, but the stage was absolutely amazing! The talent was also a clash of titans!]"
This note was featured on the homepage, and traffic exploded instantly.
Many passersby came in and left comments.
[The production team kept this a secret so well! I didn't even know who was participating. I'm really curious!]
[Rumor has it that Yan Jiayu is participating.]
[What? Xiao Yan is participating? I absolutely love his songs! The lyrics are amazing!]
Yan Jiayu is considered a representative of the new generation of pop music creators, so this season looks like it will definitely be very interesting.
[It seems that Teacher Qiu Yan is also on the rumored list. I haven't seen her on variety shows for several years.]
【Great! They're all people I like. Qiu Yan's R&B singing is really stylish; I absolutely adore her voice.】
Actually, there's a singer... I really hope he can participate in a show like this, but it's probably impossible, he never shows his face.
[Um, some of the ladies in the comments section had the same thought as me. That teacher's songs are also used in the OSTs of various TV shows and movies. His songs are popular, but he himself is very mysterious.]
Are you guys exchanging secret signals here? Who are you talking about?
If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about Teacher "Ji"?
Forget it, "Ji" Shen is very low-key, how could he possibly participate in this kind of program?
[I also think it's impossible. If the production team could get "Ji" to come, I'd kneel down and kowtow to the director.]
The blogger who posted this note is now scratching their head in frustration after seeing these comments.
I really want to tell them that Teacher Ji really is here!!
But we can't say; the audience will only know after the show airs.
She could already imagine how the trending topics would be dominated by "悸" (ji, meaning palpitation/heart palpitation) a month after the show aired.
You would never guess just how young and handsome "Ji" is, or how stable his live singing is.
In short, it has countless advantages.
She had a feeling that the show would become a phenomenon.
...
On Friday, after finishing her performance on stage, Bian Ji returned to her hotel to rest.
There's only a week until his next performance, but he's well-prepared and should be able to get it done in three days at most.
Bian Ji planned to relax for the rest of the time.
I also have some free time, so I'll go to Huaxing University to see how Lu Yinzhao is doing.
When the two talked on the phone that evening, Bian Ji mentioned this matter.
"Sure, sure! Come find me! I have a club dinner tomorrow afternoon. Come pick me up after I finish eating."
A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Sure, send me your location when you arrive, and I’ll drive over,” Bian Ji replied readily.
"Brother, keep a low profile when you come. Don't drive a luxury car, don't wear designer brands, dress simply, and remember to wear a mask and a hat," Lu Yinzhao suggested.
"What's wrong?" Bian Ji asked, puzzled.
"Do you know that you're being hotly discussed online? The show hasn't even aired yet, and you've already become the focus. Everyone is guessing whether you'll participate in 'The Voice of China' because some of the posts from the audience are very suggestive."
"..."
"Many people think it's just hearsay and believe that you would never go, but others think that there must be some connection between you and that's why such news has come out."
"..."
“I was worried that if you just swaggered over like that, it would have a bad influence on you. Even though the show hasn’t aired yet and people don’t know that you are ‘Ji’, with your looks, even a passerby would be photographed.”
Bian Ji chuckled softly, her voice magnetic and sweet, making Lu Yinzhao's ears tingle.
The boy slightly moved the phone away from his ear. "What are you laughing at? I'm seriously telling you this."
"Can I take that as you complimenting my looks? You've complimented me, can't I smile?" Bian Ji's smile hadn't even faded yet, all the fatigue of the day was soothed by Lu Yinzhao's words.
"I've said so much, and you only heard the last sentence? You really know how to pick the important points! Yes, yes, Young Master Bian Ji is a handsome guy. Haven't I ever complimented you on your looks before? Isn't it common knowledge that you're good-looking?"
Lu Yinzhao spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and Bian Ji felt only pleasure listening to him.
"Okay, I'll try not to be too conspicuous, but... my clothes aren't cheap, what should I do? Should I wear my high school uniform?"
This was a joke; Bian Ji was just teasing the other person. But Lu Yinzhao was actually seriously considering its feasibility.
"It's not impossible, hehe, I'll just tell my classmates at the dinner party that my brother is coming, hahahahaha!" Lu Yinzhao laughed loudly.
Bian Ji complained, "You're so disrespectful. I'd rather you called me like you did when we were kids."
"Brother Aji? Do you like being called that?"
Perhaps Lu Yinzhao was in a particularly good mood today, as this was the first time Bian Ji had heard Lu Yinzhao call him that since returning to China.
"Mmm, good girl."
"..."
After ending the call with Bian Ji, Lu Yinzhao stared blankly at her phone.
After he submitted his application to withdraw from the club last week, the president, Shu Han, invited him to a dinner party, saying that he had never dined with them before and that he wanted to talk to him about swimming techniques.
Lu Yinzhao remembered that Shu Han also swam freestyle, and he had heard that since Shu Han joined the swimming association, he had led the team to support Huaxing University in off-campus competitions every year.
Lu Yinzhao acknowledged Shu Han's abilities.
On the day I joined the club, it was this president who led all the new students on a tour of the club and introduced many things.
Lu Yinzhao respected their president quite a bit. The president was approachable and had a good sense of propriety in his words and actions, much better than some other people.
Since it was the last time they would have a get-together, Lu Yinzhao didn't want to go against their wishes, so after hesitating for a while, he agreed.
Lu Yinzhao had already mentally prepared himself so that even if he encountered Ge Yinghao, he would treat him like a stranger and not acknowledge him.
Besides, he had already asked Bian Ji to pick him up. If this person continued to pester him, Lu Yinzhao wouldn't mind reporting it to Bian Ji.
Thinking of this, Lu Yinzhao felt a secret sense of pleasure.
He seems a bit like a kid with a powerful backer at home. When he encounters someone who tries to bully him outside, he turns around and goes home to complain and even tries to "bully others" and retaliate fiercely.
Lu Yinzhao shook her head, shaking off the strange thoughts in her mind. She had clearly said before that she didn't want Bian Ji to know about these upsetting things...
Forget it, maybe none of this will ever happen. It's pointless to dwell on things that aren't worth it.
He should think about where to take Bian Ji after they meet tomorrow!
With this expectation, Lu Yinzhao slowly fell asleep, dreaming of himself and Bian Ji when they were children, wearing their school uniforms.
"Brother Aji! Wait for me!" Xiao Lu Yin Zhao caught up with the boy in front of her.
The person in front stopped, turned around, and smiled warmly, "Slow down, don't fall."
"Brother, let's go home."
"good."
The boy held the little boy's hand and walked towards a road filled with flowers.
...
"Lu Yinzhao! Get up! You're going to be late!" Song Shuye shouted, and the person on the bed shuddered.
