Before growing up
Li Jibai and Yan Zhichen have received higher education, have a strong sense of morality, and have been law-abiding for the past twenty years.
For both of them, secretly picking a few handfuls of vegetables is definitely an unforgivable crime!
Yi Jingchen agreed with this and patted his teammates on the shoulders sadly, asking them to turn themselves in after finishing their meal and seek lenient treatment.
[If you take me with you, I'll have company when we go in.]
[Now you two are the only ones left to depend on each other.]
[Wait! If my teammates steal vegetables, will it affect my civil service exam?]
"..." In the distance, Chi Yaoxi, who was in charge of making the fire, raised his eyelids and glanced at them, then looked at the two handfuls of vegetables they brought back, and was strangely silent for a few seconds.
He felt that he was too normal and didn't fit in with the silly boy band next door.
"Calm down, a few vegetables are far from the amount required to file a case." Chi Yaoxi said calmly, "Besides, the program team will pay for it."
"Really?" Three pairs of big watery eyes looked towards the program crew at the same time, their gazes full of anticipation.
"Really, really." The production crew was afraid that the young people would be impulsive and really turn themselves in to the police station, so they repeatedly assured us, "In fact, our program is a cooperative relationship with the local village. The price of your food, clothing, housing and transportation here has long been negotiated."
"Huh, that's good." Li Jibai let out a long breath, "I almost couldn't graduate because of my criminal record."
Yan Zhichen was also thankful, "Fortunately, my teaching certificate will not be revoked."
Chi Yaoxi said helplessly, "Stealing does violate the law. If you go to the police station to steal food because you are hungry, you will not be arrested."
"I know!" Yi Jingchen raised his hand. "This is an emergency! The police will let you sit down and invite you to eat in the company cafeteria!"
Chi Yaoxi said "hmm" and called the three of them over, and the water in the pot boiled.
He got out a few bags of instant noodles from somewhere, unpacked them and prepared to throw them in.
"etc!"
Aurora and the other two were dumbfounded.
"Senior, where did you get the instant noodles?"
Chi Yaoxi threw the dough into the pot and answered casually, "I just robbed two kids."
Aurora was about to turn herself in because she had pulled two bunches of green vegetables: …
You are more criminal.
How about you turn yourself in first?
Time goes back to twenty minutes ago. Chi Yaoxi lit a fire and thought about the three younger classmates. He always felt that they were unreliable.
Just at this moment, two middle school students came over from the other side of the road, carrying bulging school bags, talking and laughing with each other, and it seemed that they had already made an appointment to go somewhere to play.
Chi Yaoxi just looked at them twice more, his eyes dull and without any emotion.
The middle school student was immediately attracted by the handsome and seemingly fragile Chi Yaoxi. He walked towards him honestly and asked Chi Yaoxi what was wrong and if he needed help.
"My friend and I didn't have breakfast." Chi Yaoxi stated the fact softly.
As a result, when the words reached the ears of the middle school students, they turned into "a beautiful woman who came out of nowhere and was homeless on the streets and hungry for three days and three nights."
How could two hot-blooded kids tolerate this?
They immediately took off their school bags and took out the instant noodles, egg cakes, biscuits and candied fruits.
It just so happened that the two of them had already made an appointment to go play in the mountains today and stay outside for a day, so they brought enough food.
"Give it all to me, what are you going to do?"
"That's all right!" the middle school student said cheerfully, "Let's go to the mountains to pick mushrooms to eat!"
When Chi Yaoxi heard that they were going to pick wild mushrooms, he was afraid that they would not be able to come down once they went up. Seeing the little men all over the mountain, he politely only took half.
The two children who had been robbed left with the remaining things on their backs, full of pride, and the red scarves on their chests seemed to be even brighter.
This good deed must be recorded in the diary!
Yi Jingchen figured out what happened and looked at Chi Yaoxi in shock.
[Middle school students are so easy to fool!]
He narrowed his eyes, looked carefully at the pitiful face of his senior, and changed his mind instantly.
[You look so deceptive!]
Chi Yaoxi looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Yi Jingchen immediately looked away, becoming as timid as a big cat.
Chi Yaoxi told them to pick and wash the stolen green vegetables, throw them into the pot, and beat a few eggs provided by the program team. After they were cooked, they put a piece of pickled mustard tuber that Yi Jingchen begged for, and it looked quite decent.
Even though instant noodles are considered junk food in the eyes of most parents, the program crew did not make it too difficult for them. After making sure breakfast was ready, they called the five children over.
Along with the five children came a man with very short hair, with the hair above his ears shaved into intricate patterns.
Yi Jingchen glanced at his nails and found that they were indeed manicured.
Silly silver shaded, couldn't help but grumble and complain.
[I heard that I needed to take beauty sleep to protect my nails, and I thought it was a girl.]
[If I had known it was a man, I should have grabbed you just now!]
The people around them pinched their thighs, trying hard not to laugh.
This stupid cat is clearly double-standard.
"It smells so good. Thank you for your hard work." The man came over and acted like a superior, as if ordering a servant. "I need to control my weight. Give me more vegetables."
"That..." Li Jibai stared at the other person, not knowing how to address him.
Yan Zhichen also didn't know him, so he asked with a smile, "The teacher didn't teach you, so please, what should others say?"
The man seemed to be frozen for a few seconds, then he said awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry, I have low blood pressure, and my mind is not clear when I just woke up."
[No way.]
Yi Jingchen exposed it in seconds.
[You have high blood pressure, that's fine!]
The man was repeatedly scolded and felt a little embarrassed. He looked at these impolite juniors.
Chi Yaoxi, one of the 'juniors', asked casually, 'Who are you?' without even raising his eyelids.
——This sentence is simply a devastating blow to men!
"Don't you know me?!!!"
The three Auroras all shook their heads, "I don't know them."
“……”The man was almost angry to death.
His stage name is Kim Yong-ki. He debuted as a member of an overseas boy group in his early years, and is also very popular in China.
The company positioned him as an 'international artist'.
Kim Yong-gi is indeed worthy of the title of international artist. He has developed well both at home and abroad, unlike Kwon Eun-woo and Zhuo Wenjie, whom they had met before, who could only take care of one side.
What makes Kim Yong-gi and his fans most proud is that after his debut, he received an admission notice from a well-known foreign university, giving himself an aura of being a top student.
For the recording of "Summer Mini Class" this time, the program team invited all the highly educated artists in the domestic entertainment industry.
However, there are not many highly educated artists in the domestic entertainment industry, so they have to turn their attention to Kim Yong-gi, who is often promoted as a "top student" or "college talent."
Kim Yong-ki had a very high opinion of himself, and he almost lost his temper when he heard that Chi Yo-hee didn't even recognize him.
After all, he was an experienced artist, so he suppressed his anger, introduced himself with great pride, and emphasized his academic qualifications.
After listening to his introduction, Yi Jingchen suddenly understood.
"Oh! It's that university where you can go to as long as you have a letter of recommendation from your tutor, even if you fail the exam!"
Jin Rongji's expression suddenly became strange.
Li Jibai, who entered university through the exam-oriented education, couldn't understand why. "Is there really no problem with a university like that?"
"Foreign universities are not like domestic universities. Many well-known institutions are private." Yi Jingchen told them, "Compared to education, school leaders may pay more attention to school profits."
To put it bluntly, star students like Kim Yong-ki are definitely not short of money and can bring great benefits to the school.
[Besides, the letter of recommendation only means that he can enroll, not that he can graduate successfully.]
[If his diploma is withheld for eight or ten years, the school can make a little more money, so why not?]
The four of them completely ignored Kim Yong-ki's flushed face and loudly discussed the differences in educational systems.
The audience watching the live broadcast in front of the screen, except for Kim Yong-gi's fans, were all laughing like crazy.
[Hahahaha! Don’t be so straightforward, guys]
[Forget about Yi Jingchen, what's going on with Little JB and Teacher Xiaoyan? ]
[What's wrong with Little JB? Is it wrong for a middle school boy to be straightforward? As for Teacher Xiaoyan, have you forgotten his explosive remarks during the competition? ]
[I remember that Teacher Xiaoyan said during the competition that he could help people with illiteracy by entering the domestic entertainment industry. Do you really think he is a pushover?]
[Our little group is like this, but what about Chi Yaoxi? Isn't he a senior? ]
[Take a close look at Chi Yaoxi. Can you imagine him kneeling down and licking the so-called 'senior'?]
[Excuse me, excuse me! ]
[Haha, new people nowadays are really speechless, they take rudeness as their true nature]
[Gold powder comes out to clean the floor? First explain why your master didn't complete the breakfast task]
When it comes to 'completing the breakfast mission', Kim Yong-gi's fans are unable to make excuses and start playing dead again.
Several other fans rolled their eyes and scoffed.
So pitiful.
The main character is not doing well, and the fans have no confidence to fight with him.
When Yan Zhichen saw the children running over, he immediately put himself into the role of a kindergarten teacher, calming the five children and asking them to wait obediently for dinner.
Ran Ran had never met a male teacher before, so she subconsciously hid next to Yi Jingchen.
Yi Jingchen stretched out his hand for her to hold, and whispered to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, he is a very good teacher and will not hurt you."
"Yeah." Ranran nodded slightly and mustered up the courage to go and line up.
"So good~" Yan Zhichen took out little red flowers and smiley face stickers like a magician and gave rewards to each child one by one.
“After the show, the children who collect the most stickers will receive a special gift.”
"Wow!" The child in Teacher Xiaoyan's care jumped up happily, "I already have three stickers, I'm sure I can get it."
The other kids were not convinced, and their desire to win was instantly aroused.
Li Jibai first poured the instant noodles into several small bowls and distributed them to the children.
When it was their turn to eat, the noodles were already a little clumpy, but the four of them didn't care. Instead, Kim Yong-ki made a few complaints, but no one paid any attention to him.
After breakfast, I started the first task of the day.
"Summer Mini Class" is positioned as a 'study tour' variety show, which cannot be just travel without learning.
Their task in the morning was to draw lots and learn five different local musical instruments from the villagers.
During lunch time, the children had to cooperate with each other to perform a song.
The best-behaved children will have priority in choosing rooms at night.
Priority in choosing a house sounds like an old reality show tactic.
In order to avoid having to live in a thatched hut at night, everyone was particularly serious about learning musical instruments.
Before Yi Jingchen drew the lot, he clasped his hands together and silently prayed for the blessing of the Cat God.
Chi Yaoxi was in the front of the line and picked one at random. The program staff laughed in tacit understanding.
"I've heard that Chi Yaoxi has bad luck. Sure enough, he drew the most difficult one."
"The two-stringed zither. I have learned this one."
Chi Yaoxi had long been accustomed to this, and took the depressed child to the village to find a master to study.
Yi Jingchen prayed to Buddha for a long time, and then gave the right to draw lots to Ranran.
Ranran was a little nervous, and mustered up the courage to take out the small note inside, on which were written the three words "Hulusi".
"Hulusi?" Ran Ran tilted her head. "Is it something to eat?"
"No, it's a musical instrument. It has a gourd on top and a flute on the bottom." Yi Jingchen explained and said confidently, "I know how to play this thing!"
The others heard it and looked at him enviously.
The instruments they drew were ones they had never heard of before.
The staff chuckled again, indicating that metaphysics had come true once again.
Although this cat is stupid, it can always get what it wants.
"Let's go! Let's go find the Hulusi master!" Yi Jingchen grabbed Ran Ran and turned to walk towards the village.
"Don't you know how to do it?" Yan Zhichen asked.
Yi Jingchen gave him a look, "We've been teammates for so long, don't you know me well enough?"
He will.
Just a little bit.
It's possible to show off, but it's not possible to teach others.
Yi Jingchen knew his own weight, so he didn't boast that he would teach Ranran. Instead, he took her by the hand and walked into the path in the village.
In recent years, the pace of development has gradually shifted from cities to villages.
This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery. Many tourists come here from far away.
The road has been built in the village a long time ago, and the houses on both sides show signs of renovation. The independent houses look very imposing.
If the convenience of life is not taken into consideration, Yi Jingchen would be happy to live in such a countryside.
"Brother Chen." Ran Ran called him and said crisply, "This place is different from what I thought."
"What do you imagine?"
Ran Ran, who grew up in the city, gestured to him, "That kind of mud house has grass on top and leaks when it rains."
"Oh, I've seen houses like that and have reported on them a few times." Yi Jingchen told her truthfully, "There won't be any more in the future."
“Without a house, will they move to the city?”
"It's good for them to go to big cities. But many people are attached to the land where they live. What our generation and your generation have to do is to ensure that all our compatriots have enough food and clothing and live in houses that don't leak." Yi Jingchen finished speaking and smiled, "It's too early to tell you this. I don't know what kind of job you will do in the future."
"I, I want to be like you!" Ranran looked at him with longing in her eyes.
This was the second time Yi Jingchen heard such words.
Last time, a child said that he wanted to become an adult like himself.
"Okay." Yi Jingchen said with a smile, "It's my honor to be your role model. Before you grow up, let our generation protect you from the wind and rain."
Ran Ran tilted his head, as if thinking of something, and asked seriously, "Brother Chen, are there many people like you?"
Yi Jingchen knew what she was going to ask, so he stopped and squatted down to look Ranran in the eye.
"I know you've met some bad people and encountered some bad things in the past, so you're afraid of strange adults."
"There are many adults in this world. Just because you meet one bad one doesn't mean all of them are bad."
"Of course, just because you meet a good one doesn't mean all of them are good."
"You have to learn to use your own subjective judgment to analyze a person's good and evil. Blindly hating everyone is indeed a bit extreme, and blindly trusting everyone is also not advisable."
Yi Jingchen felt that what he said was a little difficult to understand, so he pointed at himself and said, "Do you think I'm a good person?"
"Yeah!" Ranran nodded vigorously.
"I'm not, I also have my own shortcomings and dark sides." Yi Jingchen told her, "But I won't expose them to you, nor will I hurt you, so you can think of me as a normal person."
"They can't control their emotions and hurt you and mom. They are abnormal people." Yi Jingchen smiled, "In this world, normal people must be the majority."
"I understand." Ran Ran finally understood and said seriously, "You and those brothers are all normal people. I can interact with you."
Just as Yi Jingchen was about to speak, he heard Ran Ran continue, "That uncle with short hair is not a normal person. I want to stay away from him."
Yi Jingchen immediately swallowed back what he had just said.
[very good! ]
[The children can now start their apprenticeship.]
The audience was moved and amused when they saw their interaction.
[Wow, silly Xiaochen is so gentle, the ceiling of healing idols]
[u1s1, what impresses me most about Yi Jingchen is that he knows that the world is not perfect, and is willing to tell everyone that the world is not perfect, but he wants to create a perfect world for everyone]
[The sister above is so good at saying it!!! I have the same feeling. When I was chasing other idols before, they would also act very warm, which made me feel unreal and like a fairy tale in the air. But Chenchen is different. He is working hard to build a beautiful world.]
[I peed in my eyes... I have seen Ranran's mother's homepage and know what she has experienced before. Others told Ranran that she couldn't do this. There are so many men in society and she has to get in touch with them. Only Chenchen told her that she didn't have to get in touch with people like that.]
[Indeed, and Yi Jingchen did not emphasize gender. Extreme people, regardless of gender, should be kept away from.]
[You are all crying, am I the only one laughing?]
[And me, that short-haired uncle is not a normal person, hahahaha Ranran is very sensible]
[My sister is really smart! I will follow this standard from now on~]
Yi Jingchen laughed for a while, then felt Ranran reach out his hand and gently touch his hair, then quickly retracted his hand to observe his reaction.
"Is it nice to touch? This is fake hair." Yi Jingchen pulled the end of his hair, "I dyed my hair a few days ago. That hair color is not suitable for educational variety shows."
"I want to see it." Ranran said expectantly.
"Not now, I haven't done my hair yet." Yi Jingchen said with a smile, "I'll show it to you tonight."
"Yeah!" Ranran nodded, with some anticipation.
"Let's go. We still have to learn Hulusi." Yi Jingchen said, and took Ranran with him to continue looking for a Hulusi master in the village.
Hulusi is not a very difficult instrument, but it is hard to find a master to play it.
Because the program team arranged a fixed master, Yi Jingchen asked for a long time before he found the master in white clothes who looked like he was going to practice Tai Chi in a wilderness at the end of the village.
When the master saw him, he put his hands behind his back and pretended to be a hero. "Why did you come just now? I have been waiting for you for a while."
Yi Jingchen stared at him, looked left and right, and saw that he was holding a book by Mr. Jin Yong in his hand.
"Master, you got the wrong script." Yi Jingchen said frankly, "I want to learn the Hulusi today, not the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."
"Hulusi? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The master stopped pretending, put Jin Yong down, took the Hulusi from the belt on his back, and asked them to sit on the big rock at the side of the road.
"First of all, do you know Hulusi and why it is called Hulusi?" The master took out the Hulusi and was about to show off his knowledge.
Yi Jingchen answered clearly and in detail, "Because it looks like a gourd, and the sound it makes has a light and floating texture like silk."
"..." The master failed to show off and decided to go deeper. "Speaking of the Hulusi, it has a long history."
"Yeah." Yi Jingchen nodded in agreement. "Hulusi originated in the pre-Qin period, and it has a history of thousands of years."
"Wow!" Ran Ran said admiringly, "Brother Chen, you know so much!"
"Because Hulusi is not a cultural heritage, I interviewed an expert when I was doing a special project and learned a few things from him," Yi Jingchen said frankly.
[Only learned twice.]
[I haven’t learned it yet.]
"Who should teach me or you?" The Hulusi master felt embarrassed and yelled.
The stupid Silver Gradient immediately became timid and gestured, "You teach, you teach."
"Forget it, let's start with the fingering." The master was too lazy to talk about those flowery things. He took out two Hulusi, one big and one small, and gave the small one to Ranran.
Ranran took it and blew into the gourd, but no sound came out.
"Your breath is too weak. This requires a certain amount of lung capacity." Yi Jingchen raised the Hulusi and blew two small conch whistles.
He can only play two sentences, he can't play the third sentence.
Master just heard him speak so logically that he thought he was here to cause trouble.
After listening to Yi Jingchen's speech, he immediately laughed.
"Half-baked! Listen to me." He raised his Hulusi and played a small conch trumpet tune at a concert level, causing the two audience members next to him to applaud.
"That's nothing. I can play more complicated songs. Just order them!"
Yi Jingchen happily ordered a song, "Then let's play "Plan A"!"
"What song is that?"
"Our group's song~"
"Do you have the music sheet? Let me take a look."
"Yes!" Yi Jingchen handed over the music score. When the master heard it, he was overwhelmed.
With such dense interludes and such a fast beat, you are trying to tire him to death by playing the Hulusi?
The master tried to back out, and Yi Jingchen watched eagerly from the side, his cat's eyes full of anticipation.
[Live version of "Plan A" with traditional Chinese instruments, so exciting! ]
[I will record it and share it with my teammates!]
[Wait, my teammates seem to be nearby.]
"Well, wait a moment!"
Seeing that his master was about to speak, Yi Jingchen stopped him and called Li Jibai and Yan Zhichen over.
Yan Zhichen and Li Jibai arrived quickly and brought two young audience members with them.
"Master, I heard that you can play "Plan A" with the Hulusi?"
"After that, can you play 'Aurora'?"
"Why don't you just play the entire first album, Master? Is that okay with you?"
Master: Thank you. I am sweating profusely.
When netizens saw the master's embarrassment, they laughed in a particularly wicked way.
I never expected that something even more immoral was yet to come.
At the same time, Du Xingwei and Tian Xitu, who finished work early, took out their mobile phones to watch their teammates' live variety show.
Seeing this scene, Du Xingwei immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a video call request to Yi Jingchen.
"Captain, we want to listen to the Hulusi too!"
Tian Xitu: "I'm calling Shu Lang, he asked us to have a group meeting."
“Okay, okay~” Yi Jingchen asked his master to wait a moment, borrowed a laptop from the program crew, and started a group meeting.
Soon, six curious heads appeared on the group meeting page.
It was clearly a team mission, but the nine members of Aurora combined in a strange way.
"The audience is here, Master, you can begin now."
At this point, the master no longer had the chance to say that he was not good enough and could only pick up the Hulusi with a fearless attitude.
Nine older boys were particularly supportive.
“It sounds good~”
"It turns out that the Hulusi can also be used to sing and dance. I should invite you to accompany me at my next concert!"
"Let's play 'Aurora' next?"
"In that case, we can't leave out the "Super pick"!"
The master had no choice but to pick up the Hulusi again, and an idea flashed through his mind:
——What was the original mission I received?
