Chapter 135 is trending again.
During this holiday, Li Zhibai went on vacation with his family, Yan Liang began preparing for the art college entrance exam, and Lu Yanhe went to school to study every day. The chances of them meeting were actually less than when they were not on holiday.
But during this holiday, Lu Yanhe finally got a little tired of studying.
I'm tired of reading, I don't want to read anymore, I start to daydream, and I can't study as immersively as before.
There will always be such a phase.
Frustrated and irritable, Lu Yanhe could only grit his teeth and bear it.
At this moment, Lu Yanhe was quite fortunate that Li Pengfei was there to keep him company while he studied.
We can exchange a few words now and then, chat, and even eat together. When we're tired, we can take a walk around the playground to relieve boredom, making it less monotonous than when we're alone.
On the second-to-last day of the holiday, Lu Yanhe suddenly received a call from Hou Jun.
This surprised him somewhat.
"Director Hou, you wanted to see me?" He came to the corridor.
Since meeting on "Little Song Gathering", Lu Yanhe and Hou Jun have kept in touch intermittently several times. Hou Jun admires Lu Yanhe's talent and character, so even though he couldn't get Lu Yanhe to fill in for him that time, Hou Jun still kept in touch with him and would occasionally send him a few songs that he thought were suitable for him and exchange music.
Lu Yanhe felt somewhat embarrassed every time he received such a message, because he really didn't understand music.
Hou Jun said, "There's something I need. A friend of mine listened to your song 'Remembrance' and wants to cover it. He asked me to help him."
Once a song becomes popular with one singer, other singers will cover it at concerts, shows, or live performances. Generally, any commercial performance requires purchasing the copyright.
However, there was a time when this was a complete vacuum. Who cared about your copyright? Singing your songs was doing you a favor. You want to sue me? Go ahead and sue me.
It's much more standardized now.
Lu Yanhe said, "No problem, Director Hou, but who wants to cover this song?"
“Song Linxin is a young singer,” Hou Jun said. “She went on another show and wanted to cover this song. Actually, I think this song is more suitable for a girl to sing. The whole style is closer to the feelings of a girl.”
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, after all, the original singer was a proper girl.
He said, "Sure, but I need to have someone look at my contract first to see if authorizing cover versions requires my company's permission. I didn't read the contract carefully when I signed it."
Hou Jun: "It shouldn't be necessary. You wrote this song yourself, and the copyright is entirely in your own hands. You signed a performance agency agreement with your management company, not a copyright agency agreement. However, you should still check it to avoid future contract disputes."
"Yes, thank you, Director Hou."
"Then I'll give you the young lady's business card later," Hou Jun said. "You two can chat amongst yourselves."
"Director Hou, may I ask what the market price is for a typical cover song?" Lu Yanhe asked. "I've never encountered this situation before, and I don't know the market price."
Hou Jun, a director who specializes in music variety shows, must know this.
Sure enough, after thinking for a moment, he said, "If it's just a cover song on a show, it's a new song, and it's not that popular yet, so the price isn't high either, probably between five thousand and ten thousand."
Lu Yanhe understood. "Okay, thank you, Director Hou."
Hou Jun said, "When you've settled things with your agency, you can come and play on our show again sometime."
"I definitely will if I have the chance, thank you Director Hou," Lu Yanhe said.
He then received Song Linxin's business card.
He hadn't even added the person yet, and they already sent him a friend request.
It seems that Hou Jun declined business cards from both sides.
Lu Yanhe accepted Song Linxin's friend request and greeted her.
Song Linxin said: Hello, I am Song Linxin.
Lu Yanhe had never known who Song Linxin was before. After exchanging pleasantries with her, he learned that Song Linxin had only recently debuted.
The two chatted for a while before getting down to business. Song Linxin asked Lu Yanhe to cover the song on the show.
Lu Yanhe readily agreed.
Song Linxin asked where the other person was, and then asked to sign an authorization letter. Only after receiving this authorization letter would the program allow her to sing this song on the show.
Lu Yanhe was astonished; he hadn't expected copyright protection to be so thorough these days.
He later asked Li Zhibai's legal department for help to check the contents of his contract with Xingyu Entertainment to see if it included the copyright of his own songs.
Fortunately, the contract I signed wasn't too bad. As Hou Jun said, it was just a performance agency contract, not an agency contract for his own creative works.
In the afternoon, Song Linxin and her agent Zhou Meng arrived at No. 13 Middle School.
Lu Yanhe met them at the school gate.
Song Linxin looked about the same age as him, but when asked, he found out that she was only a freshman in college and was a year older than Lu Yanhe.
Zhou Meng took out the authorization agreement. Lu Yanhe glanced at it. He didn't have a lawyer himself, and Zhou Ping'an certainly wouldn't let the company's legal department help him with the approval, so he could only read it himself.
However, the terms of this licensing agreement are quite simple, and there is nothing ambiguous about them.
They were very generous and filled in 10,000 for the authorization fee.
Lu Yanhe signed the document.
Zhou Meng glanced curiously at the school behind Lu Yanhe and asked, "Isn't your school on holiday?"
"Oh, no, I'm studying here," Lu Yanhe said.
Zhou Meng was somewhat surprised.
Song Linxin's gaze towards Lu Yanhe also changed slightly.
The two parties didn't say much, signed the authorization, and then parted ways.
In the car, Zhou Meng said, "This Lu Yanhe is quite unexpected. He seems different from ordinary idol artists."
"The fact that he can write a song like 'Remembrance' shows that he is a very thoughtful person," said Song Linxin.
Zhou Meng laughed and said, "You will write even better songs than 'Commemoration' in the future."
Song Linxin hummed in agreement.
“Since you love singing, and your parents have entrusted you to me, let’s work hard together and try to let more people hear your singing,” Zhou Meng said.
-
To Lu Yanhe's surprise, he received the authorization fee of 10,000 yuan the very next day.
That's fast.
This surprised Lu Yanhe, as he had never imagined that he could make money through cover song licensing.
He is now consciously saving money every month in order to save money for his college entrance examination.
After the college entrance examination, he terminated his contract with Xingyu Entertainment and would no longer receive the 3,000 yuan monthly subsidy. At that time, he would still need to go to university. Without any savings, he would be struggling to make ends meet and would have no choice but to take out a student loan.
The payment for "Little Song Gathering" has been received, but the payment for "Workplace Skills" has not yet been received.
Now, with his savings plus the ten thousand that just arrived, he only has a little over fourteen thousand.
If he weren't a celebrity, he might be begging on the streets by now.
-
As soon as the National Day holiday ended, the second monthly exam for the senior high school students arrived as scheduled.
Yan Liang also came to take the monthly exam. He wanted to see what score he could get.
Exams are something that a small number of students like, but most students hate.
Few people truly understand the meaning of schooling while they are in school, even if they know it is important. Without a profound personal experience, it is difficult to truly study with all one's might.
Lu Yanhe ranked 275th in his grade last time, and he plans to rank around 200th this time. According to his plan, by the end of this semester, he will steadily improve to around 130th in the grade. Next semester, he aims to break into the top 100.
A rapid improvement would be too surprising, and might even raise suspicions of cheating. In this matter, he felt it was better to proceed gradually.
He had to figure this out on his own, and there was no one else he could consult.
Li Pengfei, on the other hand, was eagerly anticipating what kind of results he would achieve in this exam.
He felt like he had worked himself to the bone over the past month.
The monthly exams ended in two days, conducted exactly according to the format and schedule of the national college entrance examination. After finishing the exams, Lu Yanhe did not stay at school for evening self-study but went straight home.
Yan Liang was with him.
"How did you do on the exam?" Yan Liang asked.
"Not bad, how about you?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Yan Liang shook his head and said, "I haven't been to class for too long, I've forgotten a lot of things, and I don't know how to do many of the questions at all."
"We should be able to catch up later, right?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem. My academic score requirement isn't high, so I can cram a bit later," Yan Liang said. "My focus right now is on the art exam. If I can't pass the art exam, then everything else will be for nothing."
"He'll definitely pass." Before seeing Yan Liang's performance, Lu Yanhe was really worried that his friend, who debuted as an idol, didn't have any acting talent. However, at the audition for "The Golden Age," Yan Liang showed an acting talent that surprised everyone. He felt that he would definitely pass.
Yan Liang: "I hope everything goes well."
He sat in the back of the bus with Lu Yanhe, watching the sunset and the fleeting street scenes outside the window, and said, "Sometimes I envy Li Zhibai. He never has to worry about his future."
"Mm." Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
The teachers worked overtime to grade the papers, and the monthly exam results were released the next day.
Lu Yanhe was pleasantly surprised. He did quite well on the history exam, scoring 67 points in the subject. This was a genuine score he achieved, indicating that his intensive study over the past month had been very effective.
He scored a total of 527 points, ranking 209th in his grade.
"Damn it—" Li Pengfei suddenly roared.
He drew everyone's attention.
Li Pengfei's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Lu Yanhe, I'm number 378!"
Before Lu Yanhe could react, the other students in the class exclaimed "Wow!" in unison, causing an uproar.
Jiang Haitian was the first to disbelieve, laughing and saying, "Li Pengfei, are you seeing things? You can get 378th in the grade?"
Li Pengfei raised his head high, his face displaying an air of arrogance.
"If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself. Hmph, let me tell you, I just don't usually work very hard. With a little effort, I immediately improved by more than two hundred places." Li Pengfei glanced at Jiang Haitian, as if asking him, "Do you have that ability?"
Jiang Haitian gave him the middle finger without hesitation.
Li Pengfei laughed magnanimously, not wanting to stoop to his level.
He radiated a joy that everyone could feel—in reality, he only ranked 378th in his grade, a ranking that most people could achieve if they paid even a little attention in class.
At that moment, Liu Qin came in.
A smile also graced her face.
Because of this exam, Class 3 achieved first place in the grade, surpassing Class 4 next door.
What made her happiest was that Lin Yu ranked first in the grade this time. Four students from their class were in the top ten of the grade, and Chen Qin also entered the top ten for the first time.
Liu Qin laughed and said, "You didn't secretly hang your heads from the rafters or prick your thighs with awls during the National Day holiday, did you?"
Everyone laughed.
"It's great to see you all working so hard to improve," Liu Qin said. "I've seen everyone's grades, and everyone is trying their best to improve. Some of you have made great progress in your grade rankings, while others haven't made much progress in their rankings but have improved their scores. I'm especially happy that you're all studying so diligently."
"Ms. Liu, I'd like to ask how our class did on the history exam?" Mei Ping raised her hand and asked.
"Well, it's still not ideal, sixth in the grade," Liu Qin said. "However, now that Teacher Su is here, with him around, I believe you'll all improve quickly by studying with him. Everyone, keep up the good work and don't get discouraged, understand?"
"Okay." Mei Ping was quite disappointed.
Liu Qin said, "There's another thing. I've carefully analyzed everyone's math scores, especially the sub-scores. Our class lost a lot of points in geometry, especially among the top 100 students in the grade. Their scores in geometry were much lower than the average. From now on, I'll specifically choose one type of question to explain during evening self-study. You all need to do one thing: sort out your recent exams, which types of questions you lost the most points on, and which types you've completely mastered. That way, when I explain the types of questions you lost the most points on, you can listen up. As for the types of questions you've mastered, you don't need to listen anymore; you can study them on your own. Now that we're in our senior year, time is very tight. You all must study proactively. This proactiveness doesn't mean frantically doing problems, but rather actively identifying your weaknesses, where you're lacking, and where you can improve your scores. Even when we teachers analyze, we're dealing with one or two classes of students, so there will inevitably be oversights. You are the ones who know yourselves best."
Lu Yanhe is actually quite good at math. He solved all the questions in both exams, but selectively left some questions blank.
Including this exam, he scored 112 points in math, a score that was specifically calculated.
He felt that his class had really encountered some very good teachers, and the previous bad one had been replaced.
They are all experienced teachers who have the skills to help students improve their scores.
Just then, Liu Qin walked over to him.
"Lu Yanhe, you did very well on your math test this time. You got 112 points, the highest among all the subjects," Liu Qin said.
Lu Yanhe also said, "I guessed correctly on a few multiple-choice questions, and I also just randomly wrote down the square root of two for the last fill-in-the-blank question. I didn't expect it to be right."
Liu Qin laughed: "I was wondering why you improved so quickly this time."
"I'm working hard and hoping to get a score of 112 next time based on my own ability," Lu Yanhe said.
Liu Qin nodded: "Your learning momentum is very good right now, so you should make the most of it."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
After entering October, Li Zhibai suddenly became very busy.
Zhou Pingan got him a regular spot on a variety show, and it seems that the fourth quarter of each year is a peak period for commercial performances.
Li Zhibai has also received an unusually large number of commercial performance offers.
Li Zhibai was rarely in his dormitory.
Needless to say, Yan Liang was always busy preparing for the art college entrance exam with his teachers whenever he wasn't working. There was a lot to prepare, and most of the time he even slept at the company.
Lu Yanhe found that after he returned home from evening self-study, the room was often dark and empty.
This feeling... if he hadn't spent almost every night together in September, he wouldn't have felt so uncomfortable. But now he definitely feels a bit out of place; the feeling of coming back to an empty house isn't pleasant.
The temperature also dropped sharply overnight.
When Lu Yanhe woke up in the morning, he was shivering from the cold and quickly put on thick clothes.
As the temperature drops, more fallen leaves appear on the roads.
Wearing headphones, Lu Yanhe stepped over the fallen leaves on the bus stop platform, the leaves crumbling beneath his feet. This was an experience unique to autumn.
He thought back to his childhood, when his mother would hold his hand and he would often deliberately stomp on the withered leaves. He had forgotten why he did that, but he remembered that each time he would let go of his mother's hand while stomping, and after stomping for a while with great interest, he would look up and find his mother waiting for him in front of him. He would then run over and take his mother's hand again.
I wonder how they are doing now.
"Lu Yanhe." He heard someone call his name.
Lu Yanhe looked back.
Chen Siqi got out of her car, walked over with her schoolbag on her back and a carton of milk in her hand.
She wore her hair in a ponytail, and before the sun rose, the clear morning light added a touch of blush to her fair and delicate face.
Her appearance is a dignified and elegant beauty. If she doesn't speak, she is actually the kind of generous appearance that many elders would like.
"You're here very early today," Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Siqi: "I heard your class got first place in the whole grade this time. That's amazing. Yin Xiangyu must be very angry, right?"
“Whether she’s angry or not is none of my business. How about you? How did you do on the exam this time?” Lu Yanhe asked.
"It's alright, I made it into the top 100. Xu Zijun refused to give me the answers for this exam, sigh." Chen Siqi said, "I was quite nervous at first, worried that I would fail the exam and that if I dropped in the rankings, Liu Wei'an would definitely not let this opportunity pass. She would take the rumors about us and tell my dad that I must have dropped in the rankings because of early romance."
“Then this time you’ve made progress, and her little scheme won’t work,” Lu Yanhe said.
"Mm." Chen Siqi nodded, her eyes showing a hint of pride and excitement.
The two walked into the school gate together.
"Is that person sitting at the door early in the morning waiting for the bookstore to open?" Chen Siqi suddenly asked.
Lu Yanhe followed Chen Siqi's gaze and saw a person sitting on the steps of a bookstore next to the school gate.
Chen Siqi didn't know her, but Lu Yanhe did.
That was the woman who came to see Su Su that night, his ex-girlfriend, Yuan Yi.
She appeared again.
Lu Yanhe didn't know how Su Su and she had handled things that day. There was a National Day holiday in between, and today was the second time he had seen her.
However, just as Lu Yanhe glanced over, Yuan Yi looked up at him. The moment their eyes met, a look of surprise and delight appeared on Yuan Yi's face.
"It's you!" Yuan Yi stood up immediately and ran towards him.
Lu Yanhe had no choice but to stop at the school gate.
Chen Siqi asked with some surprise, "You know her? Is she here waiting for you?"
Lu Yanhe never expected that he would say those four words: "It's a long story."
Yuan Yi ran up to them, staring intently at Lu Yanhe, her eyes shining, and asked, "You're Su Su's student, right?"
"Hello," Lu Yanhe said, "What can I do for you?"
“Su Su doesn’t answer my calls or messages. Tell him that if he continues to ignore me, I won’t give up and I will keep bothering him.”
Yuan Yi spoke with the most innocent eyes and tone, yet said the most chilling things.
Lu Yanhe had already witnessed just how crazy this woman could be.
He looked at her hesitantly and said, "Teacher Su is just my teacher. I'm not familiar with him, and I can't possibly say these things to him. You should go find him yourself."
Yuan Yi's eyes turned fierce in an instant.
She suddenly rushed in front of Lu Yanhe, as if Lu Yanhe had hurt her badly, so she wanted to retaliate badly.
"Are you in cahoots with him to fool me? I know, you must be his prized student. Why can't you say these things to him? Aren't you his student?" Yuan Yi aggressively rushed up to Lu Yanhe, as if she was about to knock him to the ground at any moment.
Lu Yanhe had no choice but to take a step back.
"Please keep your distance from me. If you're going to have a fit, don't do it in front of me." He frowned, his face showing obvious disgust.
Whatever the truth is between Yuan Yi and Su Su, it has nothing to do with him. Yuan Yi's actions have affected him, which is harming innocent people.
Just as Yuan Yi was about to say something more, Chen Siqi suddenly stepped forward, raised her hand, and pushed Yuan Yi's shoulder, shoving her away from Lu Yanhe.
"You think he's a man and he's too embarrassed to lay a hand on you, huh?" Chen Siqi tossed her head and looked at Yuan Yi with annoyance. "What 'Su Su Su Su'? No matter who he is, if you have something to say, go find him in person. What kind of business is it to go to his student? I'm warning you, don't go crazy in front of our school. If you go crazy again, I'll call the police and say you're acting suspiciously in front of our school."
Chen Siqi immediately threatened her.
When doing this kind of thing, Chen Siqi has the demeanor of a big sister, handling it with ease and without any awkwardness.
Yuan Yi looked at Chen Siqi, then at Lu Yanhe, and suddenly her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face.
She gave Chen Siqi a bittersweet smile, and her fierce voice regained a strange gentleness.
"Young lady, you like him?"
Chen Siqi didn't expect this person to react this way right after she threatened him.
Her expression was one of utter disbelief.
Yuan Yi shook her head listlessly and said, "It's okay to like someone, but don't get too involved, or you'll only get hurt. These men can be ruthless when they want to be."
After she finished speaking, she gave the two of them a deep look, seemingly losing the will to continue pestering Lu Yanhe, and turned to leave.
She left, but left Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi with a lot of awkwardness.
"..."
Chen Siqi and he made eye contact for a moment, then immediately looked away from each other.
“That person is crazy. I don’t like you at all, don’t misunderstand,” Chen Siqi said first.
Lu Yanhe nodded and hummed in agreement, "She does seem a little mentally unstable."
Their eyes met and then looked away. They said not to misunderstand, but it was still awkward and uncomfortable.
"Who is Su Su?" Chen Siqi asked, trying to make conversation.
"Our new history teacher."
"Oh, is that the male teacher who comes to school in a suit every day?" Chen Siqi obviously recognized him, but didn't know his name was Su Su.
"Um."
"He's very handsome, and many girls in our class like him."
"Um."
Chen Siqi glanced at him and said, "After he started teaching your class, did the number of female fans in your class decrease?"
Lu Yanhe: "...I don't have any fans in my class."
"Really?" Chen Siqi wasn't really curious.
We made small talk along the way until we finally reached the stairwell where we could part ways.
"They're gone."
"Bye-Bye."
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but turn around and glance at the girl's back.
She always walked with the pride of a swan, never bowing her head and showing off her long neck.
Her downy hair shimmered with youthful and graceful charm in the dim light.
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, Chen Siqi must like him a little, right?
It's impossible not to like it at all, right?
A thought was stirring in my mind.
-
During history class, Lu Yanhe looked at Su Su, and his mind wandered several times as he thought about Su Su and Yuan Yi.
What kind of past do these two people have?
Why does Yuan Yi keep pestering Su Su?
Lu Yanhe wasn't actually a very gossipy person. If it weren't for Yuan Yi's repeated appearances in this way, he wouldn't have been curious about this matter.
After class, Su Su packed his things and was about to leave the classroom when he suddenly said, "Lu Yanhe, come with me for a moment."
Lu Yanhe looked at Su Su with a puzzled expression.
He followed Su Su out of the classroom.
Su Su was waiting for him at the front gate.
The two walked down the corridor for a while before Su Su stopped and asked, "Did you have something you wanted to say to me during class just now?"
Lu Yanhe was startled; he hadn't expected Su Su to be so perceptive.
“It’s related to the woman who came to see you that day.” Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and felt that he had nothing to hide, so he said directly, “She came again this morning and waited for you at the school gate. She recognized me and blocked me at the school gate.”
Su Su looked surprised.
He paused for a few seconds, then gave a slightly apologetic and helpless smile.
"I'm sorry for causing you all this trouble," Su Su said. "It's because of my own personal matters that I've caused you this trouble."
"It's nothing," Lu Yanhe shook his head.
Su Su: "I will resolve this matter as soon as possible."
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded. "Teacher Su, did you call me out just for this?"
"Hmm." Su Su nodded. "I thought you had something else to ask me but were too embarrassed to ask. I didn't expect it was because this matter was related to me that you were too embarrassed to ask."
A bitter smile appeared on his face again.
Lu Yanhe shook his head. "Teacher Su, I just don't know if telling you this will make you feel troubled. It didn't actually cause me much trouble. You are a teacher I admire very much. Your history class is really good. To be honest, I think history is the most difficult of the three humanities subjects. It has the highest requirements for basic knowledge and logical analysis ability."
Su Su: "You study very hard. I was a little surprised before that you were so hardworking, but your grades were not very good. After talking with Teacher Liu, I found out that you had only been working hard for a short time and had not come to school much before."
Lu Yanhe lowered his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
“But at your current pace, you have plenty of time,” Su Su asked. “Do you want to apply to Zhenhua or Yuming?”
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe looked at Su Su in surprise.
Su Su laughed, "Didn't you start a live stream? I followed it too, my target is Zhenhua or Yuming."
Lu Yanhe felt that shame of being exposed once again—even though he hadn't actually worn a disguise.
Su Su: "You're very ambitious. I admire you. You work harder than most students. If you need any help, come to me anytime. I'm happy to help you."
Lu Yanhe: "Okay, thank you, Teacher Su."
"If there's nothing else, let's go back to the classroom," Su Su said to him.
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded and turned back.
-
As soon as Lu Yanhe returned to the classroom, Li Pengfei came over and asked, "Why did Teacher Su call you?"
"Ask me about... opening a live stream." Lu Yanhe kept Yuan Yi's matter a secret, knowing that if it got out, it would definitely be bad for Su Su. "Now I really regret it. Why did I choose such a name for the live stream?"
Li Pengfei laughed heartily and said, "What's the big deal? It's just a slogan, after all. Does anyone really believe it?"
This was just a minor incident.
For the next few days, Lu Yanhe did not see Yuan Yi at school again.
Time flies by in the monotonous rhythm of life and study; one moment you open your eyes, you start studying; the next you close them, you go to sleep.
Never enough sleep, always giving yourself a pep talk.
Two things happened at the end of October.
One reason is that director Luo Yuzhong contacted Lu Yanhe and promised to give him this opportunity. He said that after Lu Yanhe terminated his contract with Xingyu Entertainment, he would sign a new contract with him and reserve the role for him.
Secondly, Song Linxin, who had previously purchased the cover version rights, sang "Remembrance" on the show "Songs Come to the Rescue". After being rearranged and reinterpreted, the song became an overnight sensation.
Both of these events had a significant impact on Lu Yanhe.
Securing the role in "The Golden Era" gave Lu Yanhe a sense of reassurance.
This was the first time in the world that he had secured a valuable opportunity on his own.
The viral success of "Remembrance" has brought him, the original singer, back into the spotlight. His triple identity as lyricist, composer, and original singer has been mentioned by many music bloggers. Song Linxin also mentioned in an interview that she admires Lu Yanhe's musical talent. She said that it is a very delicate and moving song. Her version handles the melancholy and nostalgia of adolescence in a more delicate way, which is a different style. Lu Yanhe's version is more youthful and unrestrained.
This incident infuriated Zhou Ping'an.
Just when we finally managed to quell the recent buzz surrounding Lu Yanhe, he's back in the spotlight.
