Chapter 67 Help
"Who knows?" Chen Siqi immediately said, "But, someone has asked you to record a show again. It seems that your heroic rescue has brought your career back to life."
"Hero saves the beauty... It sounds so strange to hear you use such an old-fashioned phrase."
"Isn't that right?" Chen Siqi scoffed. "Never mind, it's not important. Which show are you going to participate in?"
"What, you want to see it?"
"You're overthinking it. I was just offering you some advice," Chen Siqi said. "Your song is the theme song from your competition three years ago, right? It's exactly the same. Do you think anyone would want to hear an old song being sung again?"
Lu Yanhe: "Can't you tell the difference between what I sang today and what I sang three years ago?"
He even thought he sang much better than the original person.
Chen Siqi's reaction left Lu Yanhe somewhat frustrated.
Is it because he has too high an opinion of himself?
Chen Siqi clicked her tongue and said, "No matter how big the difference is, there's no re-arrangement and no completely different voice. How big can it be?"
Chen Siqi's words dealt a heavy blow to Lu Yanhe.
Why sing this song?
"The agent chose it."
“Heh, maybe it’s because they don’t have the money to buy the copyright,” Chen Siqi said. “I’m asking you, which show are you on? Let me see what kind of show it is and I can rearrange the music for you.”
"Wait, you can compose music?" Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Siqi in shock, feeling astonished.
Chen Siqi nodded: "I've been learning music since I was a child, and I also compose my own music in my spare time."
"I really didn't realize that. I've never seen you perform at the school's arts festival."
“What’s so great about performing? I can’t sing,” Chen Siqi said.
Lu Yanhe asked, "So what did you use to arrange the music?"
“I have my own equipment at home,” Chen Siqi said. “When I was studying music, I liked composing music, so my dad bought me a set.”
Lu Yanhe's eyes lit up instantly.
“Wait, you… can you do me a favor?” he said.
"Huh?" Chen Siqi looked at him in confusion. "What do you need me to do for you? It would be a huge favor if I could rearrange the music for you. Don't ask for too much."
Lu Yanhe said, "I actually have a melody in my mind, but I don't know how to arrange it. I don't know how to read sheet music. If you can help me with it, I won't have to sing 'Chasing Dreams' anymore."
"You've sung on professional stages before, and you can't even read sheet music?"
"No," Lu Yanhe honestly admitted.
"So where did your melody come from?"
"I just hummed it randomly, that's what I made up."
Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe with suspicion, "Are you sure? Just because you hum a tune doesn't mean it can become a song."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Let's give it a try."
"Then hum a tune, I'll listen."
Thus, Lu Yanhe finally put his transmigrator cheat code to use for the first time.
He hummed the song he had racked his brains to remember, and it flowed smoothly from beginning to end. After all, it was a song he had heard many times and was very familiar with.
When this original song was first broadcast on a certain program, it became a hit across the internet and a classic graduation song.
Lu Yanhe thought for a long time about which song he could compose under his own name without being too groundbreaking. Considering his status as a senior high school student, he came up with this one.
After Lu Yanhe finished humming the tune, he looked at Chen Siqi and asked, "How was it?"
Chen Siqi suppressed her shock and looked at him with a more complicated expression.
"Did you come up with this melody yourself?"
"Um."
"You haven't studied music?"
Do I look like someone who has studied music?
Chen Siqi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "You didn't copy it from somewhere, did you?"
Lu Yanhe suddenly felt a little guilty.
But he said without hesitation: "Even if it's plagiarism, it's plagiarism of a song from another time and space. If you can find such a melody in this world, I'll take your surname."
Chen Siqi: "...What's wrong with you taking my surname? Is it beneath you to have the surname Chen?"
Lu Yanhe: "...Is that the point?"
Chen Siqi rolled her eyes, took out her phone, opened an app, and said, "Hum yourself to a tune, and I'll write a line for you. Have you thought of the lyrics yet?"
Lu Yanhe: "I've thought about it, it's about time."
"Then just sing the lyrics. Come on, the lunch break is only an hour and a half, so hurry up."
-
Lu Yanhe never expected that Chen Siqi would have this skill. After she wrote down the entire score of the song, she told him that she would help him compose it when she got home that night.
Fortunately, the original arrangement of this song was not complicated.
Lu Yanhe said, "I rehearse at nine o'clock tonight. Can you finish composing it before that time?"
Chen Siqi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I did you such a big favor, how much do you think you should pay me?"
Lu Yanhe said sincerely, "Friendship is priceless."
Chen Siqi's drooping eyes rolled back like waves.
They didn't say anything else.

Afternoon, school is over.
Lu Yanhe has not received any more calls or text messages from Zhou Pingan since then. Obviously, Zhou Pingan has no intention of arranging a car for him to go to the rehearsal.
If no arrangements were made, then no arrangements were made. He can just take a taxi there himself; it's the same.
His rehearsal was at 9:40 pm, and he left at 8:20 pm, arriving half an hour early, which was about right.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe stayed at school for dinner.
Seeing that he rarely ate dinner at school, Li Pengfei took him to the third floor of the cafeteria for stir-fry.
"Weren't you going home for dinner?" Lu Yanhe asked.
“You have to go to rehearsal and can’t eat, so my dad said we’ll have to do it another day. He’s so busy with work, he doesn’t have time to have dinner with me,” Li Pengfei said. “When are you going to rehearsal later?”
"Let's finish the first evening self-study session." The first evening self-study session ends at 8:10 pm, which is just the right time.
Li Pengfei: "I really envy you. Your life is much more interesting than ours."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe looked at him in surprise. "Interesting?"
“Look at us, we’re stuck in this classroom every day, unlike you, who can go record a show and have the life of an artist,” Li Pengfei said.
"To be honest, who knows what the future holds? Right now, I'm recording this show not because it's interesting, but because I'm short of money. If I weren't short of money, I would definitely stay in the classroom and study," Lu Yanhe said. "Compared to temporary enjoyment, I would rather get into a good university and have a meaningful life."
"Damn, what you're saying sounds just like my dad. Tsk, actually, whether I go to college or not doesn't really affect me much. I don't need to inherit my dad's company. I have my brother, so I can just live a carefree life without any problems."
"But you still find it boring."
"ah?"
“Weren’t you just envious that my life is more interesting than yours?” Lu Yanhe said. “You have no pressure now, you’re just eating and drinking without a care in the world, and you’re not unhappy, but you feel that your life is meaningless.”
"Wow, what you said makes so much sense!" Li Pengfei exclaimed in surprise.
Fifth update! Thank you everyone! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family reunion!
