Chapter 141 Preparing to Sing an Opera
When Lin Yilan arrived at Ocean University, she learned that Ocean University would soon hold a social event with Lin University in the neighboring city. At first, Lin Yilan didn't think much about it, and she was also very interested in this kind of thing.
But the principal actually asked Lin Yilan to invite Huo Juncheng to attend. You know, a few days ago, Huo Juncheng came to pick her up and encountered many assassinations. He originally went to the principal to inquire about the situation, but the principal obviously covered it up.
So what was going on this time? Could it be another trick? Lin Yilan had to be on guard against this. If something really went wrong, it would be terrible.
Chu Siran heard that Lin Yilan was participating in a social gathering at Ocean University and was going to perform opera on stage, so he came to her early in the morning and asked her about various matters.
"Yilan, I heard you're going to perform an opera at Haida. Have you decided what you want to perform? Can I join your Haida social activities?"
Hearing Chu Siran say this, Lin Yilan smiled slightly. She knew that Chu Siran would definitely clamor to participate, but this time it involved unknown dangers, and she couldn't let Chu Siran take this risk.
"Siran, this Haida social gathering might not be as simple as you imagined. I think, for your safety, it's better to forget it. If you want to hear me sing, you can rehearse with me."
After hearing this, Chu Siran felt that what Lin Yilan said made sense. She originally just wanted to listen to Lin Yilan sing, and she was not curious at all about the so-called social activities of Ocean University.
But what about the social gathering that Lin Yilan mentioned? Chu Siran couldn't figure it out, but she thought there might be some conflict between the two schools. So she was no longer curious about it, so she didn't ask any further questions.
"Of course I'd like to rehearse with you, but are you going to sing alone? Do you want a partner?"
"I'm thinking of finding a partner, but... I don't know who to look for."
Of course, it would be boring to perform a solo, but there was no one around her who could sing, and she didn't know where to find a partner, so even if she wanted to perform with others, she couldn't find a partner.
Chu Siran looked at Lin Yilan's sad face and couldn't help laughing: "This is not difficult. We just need to go to the opera troupe and find someone. We can go as soon as we say go. We will go now."
When Lin Yilan heard Chu Siran's suggestion, her eyes lit up instantly. If she joined the opera troupe, she would not only solve the problem of partner, but also indirectly solve the problem of costumes, and she could also ask for some singing techniques.
When they arrived at the Huaying Grand Theater, the theater was about to close for a break, so the two men explained their purpose and were led directly to the backstage. After a while, the troupe owner came out with a pipe in his mouth.
"Are you two planning to learn from a master or attend an opera? For learning from a master, we only accept children. For an opera, the nearest performance is this Friday at 8 o'clock. Now is our rehearsal time."
When the two heard the troupe owner say this, they realized that the person who just reported it hadn't explained it clearly, so Lin Yilan explained, "I just want someone from the troupe owner to play a scene with me."
"What?"
The troupe owner was obviously a little surprised when he heard Lin Yilan's explanation. It was the first time he saw someone coming to their theater to borrow people.
"Hello, class owner. My name is Lin Yilan, and I'm a teacher at Ocean University. The school has a social event coming up soon, and I want to sing a play there, but I don't have a partner. That's why I came here to borrow someone. I hope someone can partner with me."
After hearing Lin Yilan's registered identity, the troupe owner's expression eased a little. At first, after hearing the report from his subordinate, he always thought that Lin Yilan and Chu Siran were undercover agents sent by the opposite troupe, who wanted to come and explore their strength.
That's why he didn't look happy at the beginning, but now seeing Lin Yilan and Chu Siran's sincere expressions, it seemed that it was not what he thought, so he gradually let down his guard.
"I see. It seems I misunderstood you. Would you rather act with a veteran actor who's more capable, or a younger student whose kung fu isn't as impressive?"
Looking at the class owner's gradually kind face, Lin Yilan knew that she had a chance of finding a partner!
"I'm just an opera enthusiast. If I were to act with veteran actors, it would only lower their level. If I were to act with students like you, I'd probably need them to guide me."
"Ms. Lin, you're too modest. Judging from your temperament, you should be a good opera singer. How about this, dear? I'll let our Ah Si go with you. He knows a little martial arts, so if you encounter any danger at school, he can help you."
When Lin Yilan heard the troupe owner say they were looking for someone skilled in martial arts to act with her, she was so excited that she almost wanted to fly. This was truly a blessing from heaven. Not only did she find a partner to act with, she also found a helper.
However, Lin Yilan did not show too much excitement. After all, judging from the expression of the class owner just now, she could more or less guess that the class owner had misunderstood them as undercover agents at the beginning.
Now she didn't dare to do anything strange and cause the class owner to misunderstand her. "Thank you, class owner."
The class leader nodded to Lin Yilan and shouted at Li Wu, "Ah Si, come here, I have something for you to do!"
As soon as the class leader finished speaking, a young man in his twenties rushed out from the inner room. He walked quickly to the class leader and bowed slightly. "What do you want, class leader?"
"This Miss Lin has a show soon. You need to partner with her. Don't be careless. Do you understand?"
After hearing the boss's instructions, Ah Si looked up at Lin Yilan and Chu Siran, "Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate."
The class leader glanced at Ah Si, then at Lin Yilan, and didn't stay any longer, leaving to do his own thing. Ah Si was left standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
"Hello Ah Si, I'm Lin Yilan, a teacher at Ocean University. I'd like to partner with you to perform a show at Ocean University. Also, this is Chu Siran."
Chu Siran said, reaching out and pulling Chu Siran aside, patiently introducing him. Chu Siran saw Lin Yilan introducing herself and smiled widely, "Hello, Ah Si, I'm Chu Siran."
"I...I know you. Aren't you the young lady of the Huo family and the young lady of the Chu family?"
"Don't be so formal with us, just call us by our names." Lin Yilan didn't expect that she would be so famous. It would be fine if others knew Chu Siran, but they even knew her.
Hearing Lin Yilan say this, Ah Si scratched his head awkwardly, and after a while he said shyly, "Sister Yilan, hello Sister Siran, I'm Ah Si, and I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."
Lin Yilan and Chu Siran found Ah Si's shy look inexplicably cute.
"Ah Si, I wonder if you can sing 'Peach Blossom Fan'?"
Hearing Lin Yilan mention opera, Ah Si instantly suppressed his shyness, his eyes full of seriousness, "Sister Yilan, are you going to sing Peach Blossom Fan?"
