Chapter 68: Is rebirth literature still a special genre?



Wang Cancan thought about it and said: "That's right, if you really like your ex, you wouldn't get married so soon."

Xie Jing inevitably had to explain: "That's one reason. My husband and I'm not going to be able to explain our marriage in a few words, and it's not something I should share with outsiders. It's time to go to class. Today's class is Professor Niu's. If you keep gossiping, Professor Niu will not let you down."

Wang Cancan suddenly became serious: "But I still have to say this, your husband is really famous in our school. You have to keep a close eye on him, because these days, who knows who might try to poach him."

Xie Jing thought of Zhou Jiyun's usual appearance, and a smile flashed across her eyes: "That doesn't matter. What can be pried away doesn't truly belong to me. If he really cares about me, he knows what to do."

Even though Xie Jing is attracted to Zhou Jiyun now, she will never sink into the love of a man. She always remains sober and rational. In the final analysis, Xie Jing loves herself the most.

After a few words, the short, stout Professor Niu entered the classroom, textbooks under his arm. Wang Cancan immediately shut up and shrank back into his seat like a quail. Xie Jing straightened her back helplessly. What kind of monster was Professor Niu? Why was Wang Cancan so nervous?

Professor Niu also saw Xie Jing and Wang Cancan beside her. Seeing Wang Cancan's expression, Professor Niu calmly withdrew his gaze and said, "Today we are talking about musical form. Musical form is divided into phrases, single two-part form, and single three-part form..."

Xie Jing flipped open the textbook, found what Professor Niu had said, and analyzed it with the case studies he had found. Wang Cancan, who was sitting next to her, wasn't as focused, her head down, typing away on her phone.

"Student wearing a plaid scarf in the second position from right to left in the third row, please answer this question." Just when Wang Cancan was having a great time playing in the group, she heard these words.

Wang Cancan looked left and right. The third row, from right to left, was wearing a plaid scarf? She wanted to look again, but Professor Niu on the podium spoke again: "Still looking? It's you. Where was I?"

Xie Jing pushed Wang Cancan and underlined a certain word. Wang Cancan quickly stood up, glanced at the content on the PPT, and then answered politely, "Teacher, it's sonata form."

Professor Niu snorted, "Sit down. Don't be distracted during class."

Wang Cancan hurriedly sat down, daring not to play with his phone this time. Xie Jing laughed softly, finding Wang Cancan's behavior quite amusing, like a little mouse in front of a cat.

The following classes went uneventfully, except that when the get out of class was over, Xie Jing did not read the professional books. Instead, she opened her phone and searched for the word "rebirth".

Wow, there are so many books popping up. Xie Jing felt dizzy. How long will it take to finish reading them?

Wang Cancan had long forgotten the awkwardness she had during class. She leaned over and took a look: "Xie Jing, are you also reading rebirth stories?"

"Rebirth literature?" Xie Jing repeated, "Is there a specialized genre?"

"You don't know this, do you?" Wang Cancan nodded. "Let me explain. Rebirth is about the protagonist being frustrated and then suddenly reborn back to his youth, where he begins a legendary life of punching dragons from the North Sea and kicking tigers from the South Mountain."

"If it's a male channel, then there will definitely be an endless supply of beauties throwing themselves at him, and wealth and fortune will come to him. In the end, the male protagonist will sleep with her, waking up to rule the world and then lying drunkenly on her lap."

Xie Jing listened very carefully: "Then...what about the female channel?"

"Changing gender doesn't really make much of a difference. You'll definitely become the CEO and win the man who's rich and handsome."

Xie Jing asked without hesitation, "What about the other part?"

"Based on my experience reading countless novels over the years, most rebirth stories feature the protagonist, either male or female, having suffered a tremendous blow or trauma in their past life. Then, once they return to the past, they naturally repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge, doubling down on making amends to those they once owed..."

Xie Jing's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly felt that Wang Cancan's words sounded so familiar. Why did they sound so similar to someone else's behavior?

Wang Cancan pulled Xie Jing: "Did you hear what I said?"

"I'm listening," Xie Jing came back to her senses. "You mentioned the latter type of rebirth stories. Can you send me a few of them?"

"No problem. Do you want the male-oriented one or the female-oriented one?" Wang Cancan was happy. Besides eating melons, her other hobby was novels. Now she was naturally happy to recommend the novels she had read to others.

Soon, Xie Jing received more than a dozen novels in TXT format. Seeing that Wang Cancan was about to send more, Xie Jing hurriedly stopped him: "That's enough, that's enough, wait until I finish studying these."

The information Wang Cancan sent her was enough for her to study. Should she drag Zhou Jiyun along to study with her? That didn't seem out of the question.

After finishing her two morning classes, Xie Jing went to Professor Niu's office again. Although she had already emailed the lyrics to him, Xie Jing still wanted to ask for his opinion.

Professor Niu: "Of course it's great. I've already given the demo of your performance to the film and television company. As for whether they'll hire someone else to sing it later, that's hard to say."

Xie Jing didn't care: "I had no intention of appearing in front of people. It doesn't matter if they find other singers to sing. I just sang a sample version for you to judge the effect."

The entertainment industry is so complicated that Xie Jing doesn't want to squeeze in. She doesn't worry about money. Over the years, the Lin Jing account has brought her a lot of income. Although she is not rich enough to rival a country, she is still living at a comfortable level.

Moreover, Xie Jing herself does not have such great ambitions. She does love money, but she only needs the money that can meet her life needs. The rest of the time, Xie Jing's material desires are very low.

Professor Niu saw that Xie Jing didn't show any signs of imbalance, and he couldn't help but look at her with a higher opinion: "It's good that you think it's okay. It's a good thing that you're here. I have something to tell you."

Xie Jing was afraid of trouble and wanted to refuse. "Is it about the school anniversary? Professor, I'm very busy lately."

For students who are vying for GPA, performance, and resumes, helping their advisors is definitely a great thing. But once you stop worrying about the future and don't worry about your daily performance, college life is surprisingly easy.

And Xie Jing just happens to be the latter type of person.

Professor Niu vaguely sensed Xie Jing's aversion to trouble. He paused, "The class monitor is in charge of the overall planning. Our composition department is putting on a program for the school anniversary. The music is composed by Wei Jin, and no one in the class can match you when it comes to writing lyrics. Is that a problem?"

Xie Jing thought for a moment and spoke cautiously, "I'm only responsible for writing the lyrics? You don't need my help with anything else?"

"Yes, you are only responsible for writing the lyrics, and your classmates will take care of the rest." Professor Niu was annoyed. He could see that this was someone who didn't like to take on responsibilities.
