Chapter 11 Playing with Yarn



As for why Su Yun discovered that Zhou Xinheng had secretly defected, the reason is actually very simple: just like the saying "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you", Zhou Xinheng saw them setting up a stall next to the door in the store, and she also saw Yinghua's solicitation for Zhou Xinheng next to the door.

Generally speaking, unless there is a big noise in the store like the last time when Old Chen was making trouble and cheating people, Su Yun should not be able to hear it from outside - but Su Yun has the system plug-in.

Although the system can only be used as a navigation map and a training black room with built-in tutorials at present, it is still an entertainment auxiliary system with a built-in multi-angle ultra-high-definition shooting function for the host, which is infinitely equivalent to having a large number of ultra-high-definition cameras with different angles.

This function is naturally designed to facilitate the host Su Yun to shoot movies and other videos in the future, but as long as the operation is proper, it is not impossible to change the angle to shoot things not far away.

That's why Su Yun knew that Ying Wah Primary School was trying to poach Zhou Xinheng.

Of course, it was not without price - the people at Yinghua asked Zhou Xinheng to do something accordingly, so Zhou Xinheng, who had always longed for Yinghua, did not agree immediately when he heard that he would turn around and secretly deal with his alumni and teammates.

Originally, Su Yun thought that Zhou Xinheng chose to compete with the Xinhui Chamber of Commerce after hesitating, and would reject the request and invitation of Ying Wah Primary School and take the entrance exam for Ying Wah College based on his own ability.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xinheng finally chose this transaction.

You are unkind and I am unjust. Su Yun, who had prepared himself for both situations, sighed in his heart, hung up the phone, and turned back to the auditorium.

When the science and technology event started, Su Yun, who was shorter than the other two contestants, came on stage with competition equipment that was larger than the other two contestants. The other two opponents and three judges were all shocked.

In that era, considering Su Yun's age, repairing a black and white TV, let alone a color TV, was already a very remarkable thing. Once this huge color TV came out, as long as Su Yun herself didn't make any mistakes, the two people next to her would be no match for her.

There is no doubt that Su Yun scored full marks in the science and technology project again, and the three judges unanimously recognized that it was beyond dispute.

After solving the technology project, when Su Yun walked off the stage and came out from the backstage, she immediately saw Wang Jiaju rushing over and aggressively pressing Zhou Xinheng into a corner, preparing to punch him.

"Zhou Xinheng, you are really sick, aren't you?!" Wang Jiaju looks careless on weekdays, but he is actually very meticulous. Although Su Yun didn't have time to explain clearly on the phone, from her instruction to ask him to bring a guitar, Wang Jiaju soon figured out the meaning.

Wang Jiaju was furious when he thought that Zhou Xinheng and his gang would actually betray their friends just like those villains on TV.

It just so happened that Zhou Xinheng's name sounds like "Zhou Shenhen", which means "itchy" in Cantonese. Wang Jiaju thought he was right, so he was bound to be unforgiving in his words.

"I never thought you would do such a thing!" After hearing this, Li Jiefen went over to check the guitar, and then looked at her old friend Zhou Xinheng with great disappointment.

Zhou Xinheng lowered his head, pursed his lips, and said nothing, which made Wang Jiaju even angrier.

Zheng Guoguang quickly blocked Wang Jiaju's fist, but he looked at Zhou Xinheng with a hint of disappointment and doubt: "Zhou Xinheng, what happened? Why did you do this?"

After all, he is just a child in his early teens. Although he did such a despicable thing, judging from his guilty behavior of not daring to look other people in the eye, it is obvious that he knows he has done something wrong.

Fortunately, if you know that you have done something wrong, then there is still hope. The most frightening thing is that you have done something and still think you are not wrong, then it will be difficult to bring yourself back from that situation.

Hearing that even the usually good-tempered Zheng Guoguang asked this question, Zhou Xinheng, who used to follow him to participate in competitions, gritted his teeth and finally spoke: "Someone from Yinghua Primary School came last night and said that as long as I transferred to their school and... did something with Su Yun's competition materials, they would let me transfer directly to Yinghua Primary School..."

"Then... I won't have to worry about not being admitted to Ying Wah College..." When Zhou Xinheng finished this sentence with difficulty, he happened to see Su Yun coming back to his side, so his head drooped even lower.

Seeing that Su Yun was looking at Zhou Xinheng without saying anything, Wang Jia suddenly spoke again: "Don't you feel ashamed of studying at Yinghua like this?! Are you worthy of your own conscience?!"

"I'm sorry..." Zhou Xinheng said hesitantly.

Zheng Guoguang sighed: He was careless too, he only thought about how their Xinhui Chamber of Commerce School could stand out in this competition, but he forgot that people in this world are treacherous and that those who stand out will always be targeted.

If Xinhui Chamber of Commerce was a good school with strong strength and excellent results, perhaps other parties would just be secretly on guard; unfortunately, their Xinhui Chamber of Commerce is just a poor school with no support, so after suppressing a number of famous and strong schools in a large-scale regional competition of this level, it will inevitably be squeezed out and suppressed by other parties.

This is the underlying rule of this society, the oppression of the weak by the strong: if they cannot go to school, then those in poor schools cannot be allowed to go.

So if Zhou Xinheng wanted to transfer to Ying Hua, he had to submit a "letter of allegiance" - it was unexpected that Ying Hua, a once famous old school, would resort to such dirty tricks in its elementary school.

"Based on your past grades and performance, your chances of being admitted to Yinghua are obviously very high. Why bother..." Zheng Guoguang shook his head regretfully.

"Forget it, Mr. Zheng. He's done something wrong. Why bother talking to him?" Wang Jiaju glared at Zhou Xinheng who kept apologizing. He turned around and handed the washed-out large satchel at his feet to Su Yun. "Fortunately, you are smart and saw through this guy in advance. Here, the guitar."

Su Yun nodded, took the guitar and looked at Zhou Xinheng: "Your family and you have helped me before, I won't hold it against you this time, but that doesn't mean I forgive you - anyway, this round of semi-finals is over, and we probably won't have any contact again, so let's leave it at that."

You have to treat different people differently. For someone like Zhou Xinheng who still has a conscience, doing this will only make him feel more guilty and uneasy.

If you respect me a foot, I will respect you a yard. Since you have the opportunity to transfer to Ying Wah Primary School, don't think too much about this competition - with Zhou Xinheng's current mental state, he will not be able to get many points in the next competition.

Su Yun thought so, but she didn't stop. She opened the zipper of her bag and took out Wang Jiaju's old guitar to check and adjust it...

"What did you do?!" Su Yun almost fainted with anger when she saw the old guitar with three broken strings in the bag.

Well, just now I was thinking that Zhou Xinheng would not be able to score any points, but now it happens to me!

"Ah? There were too many people on the bus today, and I was afraid you would be waiting anxiously, so I just ran over with it on my back..." Wang Jia suddenly glanced at the old guitar, and his voice suddenly lowered a lot, "I didn't expect it to be so bumpy..."

"What should I do? I don't have time to go back to my house to get another guitar..." In five minutes, Su Yun would go on stage to compete, and Yaliao Street was nearly an hour away from here. Lai Kit-fen was extremely anxious.

Su Yun looked around in annoyance: the only requirement for the music project was "instrument". She could play the harmonica, flute and other wind instruments, but she couldn't sing a cappella. However, she couldn't lend her instruments to others. She couldn't sing a cappella with a recorded accompaniment even if she sang live...

This is fun yarn!

Oh, that's not right.

Su Yun's gaze moved around and finally landed on the wool tangled in Li Jiefen's hand.

Yes, you can really play with yarn!

After knocking on the long low bench beneath him to confirm that the wood quality was acceptable, Su Yun borrowed a ball of yarn and a few black clips from the confused Li Jiefen and started working.

"This..." Seeing Su Yun cut a long piece of woolen thread and connected it to the two ends of the bench, and then took apart the handle of a small wooden hammer and placed it at the appropriate position underneath before starting to tune the instrument, even Zheng Guoguang, an adult, was speechless.

Su Yun's technique is obviously inspired by the practice of plucked and plucked instruments. It is true that ancient zither strings were also made of silk thread, but there was only one string...

Before Zheng Guoguang could say anything, Su Yun used her strength to show the people around her how a piece of wool can also make flowers bloom for you.

Under Su Yun's manipulation, the long bench and the wool lost their original purpose of serving the people and abandoned the dignity they should have as practical objects, and combined together to make a series of obscene sounds.

"When did you learn the craft of Huang Yaoshi, the East Evil?" In the novel, Huang Yaoshi, the East Evil, could play music with just one string. This was the thing that fascinated Wang Jiaju the most when he was reading the novel. Now it has become a reality before his eyes, and he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

"Well, as long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than problems - I'm going to go on stage, you guys can do whatever you want." After Su Yun finished tuning the music, she quickly went to the backstage holding a long bench.

The staff member who called the roll was also stunned by Su Yun's move of coming over with a bench in his arms: "Where's your instrument?!"

"Isn't this it?" Su Yun patted the bench.

"What kind of musical instrument is this?!" The staff were stunned.

Su Yun put down the bench and played a few notes for him to demonstrate: "If it can play music, can't it be called a musical instrument?"

Seeing that the staff was overwhelmed and their eyes were hesitant between her and the schedule, Su Yun, who was in a dramatic mood, immediately expressed her sympathy: "My guitar was damaged, this is the only way I can do..."

The thin and short little girl hugged the long bench with tears of grievance in her eyes, and explained pitifully, which would make even the most hard-hearted person soften a little.

"Forget it, just go ahead." Having seen this kind of underhanded tactics before, the staff sighed and stamped Su Yun's application.

So, facing the questions from the three judges, Su Yun once again offered a pitiful and "reasoning" speech: "Hardware has never been an obstacle for us to roam the world of music!"

The chief judge looked at Su Yun's entry sheet, which had the "Perform an Original Song" written on it, and said helplessly, "I've seen foreigners playing music by knocking on water cups before - but why do you use... this?"

"My family was poor, and my parents passed away early. When I was a child, my mother-in-law would sit on a bench and knit sweaters for me bit by bit for the winter..." Su Yun lowered her head and smiled shyly, explaining softly, "My mother-in-law is ill recently and needs surgery, so I want to give this song to her..."

Nowadays, people are ashamed to talk about their family conditions, and often try to show off their wealth. However, for Su Yun, who has experienced various failed talent shows in later generations, her poor family conditions are the key to her gaining sympathy.

Since her background doesn't allow her to follow the orthodox path of a proud student from a prestigious school and rising to prominence all the way to fame and glory, she decided to take a different path and choose the satisfying path of a grassroots counterattack.

The three judges looked at each other and finally the chief judge made the final decision: "Okay, we'll give you a chance - let's see what you can pop out."

To be honest, they were a little curious: they had seen cotton fluffing a lot, but this was their first time seeing wool fluffing.

As long as it's not too unbearable to listen to, considering her life experience, her top ranking in the preliminary round, and the bonus of her original song, I think she can be given a passing score.

Just after the three judges announced the start of the competition with no hope and only sympathy for the poor guy, the low melody was like the waves under the night sky, gentle yet powerful, and it shocked the rest of the tiny sounds in the entire auditorium and stage.

"Greatness as you/s.mallest as me/You show me what is deep as sea (As great as you are and as small as I am, your love is as warm and deep as the sea)..." As the prelude ended, a clear, bright and emotional voice suddenly touched the heartstrings like the winter sunshine and the summer breeze.

Beautiful music always has the power to move people's hearts. This is not only a gift from children to their loving elders, but also their love for their elders, which is pure and moving.

After hearing the last sentence, "Thank you for your love all the time," the more emotional female judge sitting on the left began to secretly wipe away the tears from her eyes.

Even though there was no perfect instrumental accompaniment, the abundant emotions and superb skills had made up for the shortcomings. According to her experience, unless there were songs of gold-medal record quality later, full marks in this round would definitely be given to this poor but lovely little girl in front of her.

The female judge gave the full score of 10 without hesitation, then turned to look at the score sheet of the main judge in the middle.

Another person gave it a 9...

The chief judge gave...what is this?!

Just when the chief judge was about to announce the total score for this project, the female judge quickly stepped in and said, "Wait, why did you only give Su Yun 1 point?! Her song "A little love" is so good!"

The chief judge explained calmly, "This 1 point is for her sympathy. She has no musical instrument, so her performance in this event should have been handled in a contrived way."

"But that's because her instrument was damaged by someone!" Seeing Su Yun on the stage stand up silently and look at this side with tears in her eyes, the female judge argued.

"She failed to take good care of her competition equipment, which is enough for me to give her this score." The chief judge shook his head. "Besides, where is the evidence that she said her instrument was damaged?"

"Or... is this just her attempt to surprise others and attract attention?"
