Chapter 95 It's Famous
Monday morning, it gets light very early.
When Lu Yanhe went out, the sun had already risen completely above the horizon, and a red sun hung between the buildings, presenting a sense of peace and completeness between heaven and earth.
When he got on the bus, the people on the bus looked at him the same as before, giving him a second glance, without any other unusual reaction—the extra glances were entirely because the boy was quite handsome.
Lu Yanhe listened to the audio of the host narrating history until he reached the school stop and got off the bus.
As he approached the school gate, he saw Chen Siqi standing in front of the school's bulletin board, looking at something.
Why is she here so early today?
At this time of day, there are still very few people on campus.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Yanhe walked up behind Chen Siqi, intending to scare her, and suddenly asked.
Chen Siqi indeed trembled.
Anyone would be startled if someone suddenly appeared behind them.
Chen Siqi rolled her eyes at Lu Yanhe and said, "Look at the list of recommended students. This year, Zhenhua University gave both of its recommended interview slots to science students."
"Hmm, you're only just realizing this?"
"Anyway, it's not my turn, so why should I pay so much attention?" Chen Siqi said. "What about you? Your performance was a great success! Everyone in our class group is talking about it. Why did you come to school? Shouldn't you strike while the iron is hot and continue your acting career?"
"My acting career has long since ended; this is just a brief resurgence," Lu Yanhe said self-deprecatingly. "The music you composed for me was a great help; thank you."
Without Chen Siqi's emergency help that night, he wouldn't have been able to successfully perform this song on "Little Song Gathering".
Chen Siqi: "Don't just thank me verbally, at least buy me a cup of milk tea."
“Okay.” Lu Yanhe nodded. “Once my payment arrives, I’ll treat you to milk tea for a month.”
"Are you trying to fatten me up like a pig?" Chen Siqi rolled her eyes again. "With so much sugar in my body, you still think I'm not fat enough?"
"Are you fat?" Lu Yanhe looked Chen Siqi up and down. She was slim where she should be and curvy where she should be. How could she be fat?
He didn't understand.
Chen Siqi immediately glared at him and turned away.
"Put your eyes away!"
Lu Yanhe: "..."
-
To Lu Yanhe's surprise, although the program that aired yesterday did not generate as much buzz as he had imagined, nearly half of his classmates watched his performance.
Those who weren't watching gathered together during breaks and played the music aloud on their phones.
This feeling... Lu Yanhe felt extremely ashamed.
Lu Yanhe could hear himself singing during almost every break between classes.
Every time this song plays, many eyes turn to him. At these times, Lu Yanhe feels as if he is being publicly executed on the gallows.
Lu Yanhe didn't want to tell anyone to stop releasing it.
Then, after playing it again and again, Lu Yanhe eventually became indifferent to it all.
Let it go, let it go.
Just after he finished lunch, he suddenly heard the familiar piano accompaniment playing from the school's loudspeaker, followed by Lu Yanhe's singing.
At that moment, Lu Yanhe stood at the entrance of the bustling cafeteria, feeling all eyes on him coming from all directions.
"This song is really nice. Who sings it? I don't think I've ever heard it before."
"You don't know? It's him who sang it, Lu Yanhe!"
"Hmm? Lu Yanhe!"
Such conversations frequently occurred right before Lu Yanhe's eyes. They seemed to know he existed, yet they also knew he existed, pointing at him and saying these things.
Li Pengfei laughed heartily and said, "Brother, you're famous now!"
The song "Remembrance" has some popularity on social networks, but it hasn't reached the level of becoming a hit.
It started spreading among students, on the contrary.
Not only at No. 13 Middle School, but also students who follow music programs shared the song in their group chats and on their WeChat Moments after hearing it.
In the afternoon, Lin Jue came to teach them geography. As soon as he came in, he said, "Lu Yanhe, you are quite talented. The song you wrote is good and pleasant to listen to. I like it, Teacher Lin."
The whole class immediately exclaimed "Oh!"
Lu Yanhe had been bombarded with comments all morning, and he was no longer bothered by the commotion.
He just silently covered his face.
As a result, Li Pengfei shouted from behind, "Teacher Lin, it's not just you who likes him. Lu Yanhe is now the idol of the whole school. Everyone likes him!"
Lin Jue's expression changed in an instant, from sunny to stormy, his piercing eyes like laser beams aimed at Lu Yanhe, "If you can score ten more points on the geography test next month, I'll make the whole school like you!"
Li Pengfei's beaming face instantly fell.
"..."
We were talking about Lu Yanhe, why did you suddenly bring him up? That's not proper martial ethics!
Li Pengfei mentally grumbled a bit, but of course, he didn't dare say it aloud.
No one dared to act recklessly in front of Lin Jue.
Even someone as arrogant as Li Pengfei wouldn't dare.
Just then, the homeroom teacher, Liu Qin, arrived.
"Teacher Lin, I'm sorry to interrupt your class," she said to Lin Juexian as she opened the door.
Lin Jue asked with a smile, "What's up, Teacher Liu?"
“We need to ask Lu Yanhe to come out,” Liu Qin said. “The police came to the school to present him with a banner for his act of bravery.”
Lin Jue exclaimed, "Great news! Lu Yanhe, hurry up and go with Teacher Liu to bring back the banner!"
All eyes in the class were on Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe felt that after most of the day had passed, his skin had become a bit thicker.
He got up without changing his expression and followed Liu Qin.
-
The banner was presented in the conference room of the school's office building.
The whole scene was very formal.
Police, school officials... As soon as Lu Yanhe entered, he even saw his agent, Zhou Ping'an.
He stood with a forced smile next to a man in a royal blue suit. Judging from Zhou Ping'an's demeanor, this man in the royal blue suit, who inexplicably seemed a bit ostentatious, was probably a senior executive in the company.
As soon as Lu Yanhe entered, everyone's eyes were drawn to him.
"Oh, Yan He's here! Come over here quickly." Zhou Ping'an greeted Lu Yan He with unprecedented enthusiasm. "President Hong has come to support you in person today."
Mr. Hong?
Is this the legendary rich man who opened this agency to please his girlfriend, who is his manager?
Having been with the company for so long, Lu Yanhe had never seen him before; this was the first time.
So young.
Lu Yanhe greeted, "Hello, President Hong."
Hong Qi patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder and said, "Well done."
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Mr. Hong."
He noticed that Zhou Ping'an's gaze towards him contained a hint of nervousness and unease, as if he was worried that Zhou Ping'an would say something he shouldn't.
