185 The Four-Character Mantra to Remember
After hastily changing clothes, Jiang Qinghua was blocked outside the door, behind seven or eight teachers including Liu Xiaodong, Sun Xiubin and Tang Zhifei. She could only grit her teeth and watch the staged photos in the classroom from a distance.
The subject of the photo shoot is undoubtedly Li Zheng who "studies seriously".
And the entire filming process was very artificial.
During this process, Yu Hong and Tang Zhifei also pretended to give lectures for a few minutes each.
Every student stood upright and listened carefully, staring intently, which was very disgusting.
Li Zheng himself was also very disgusted.
Lin Yujing was even more disgusting and tried very hard not to fall asleep.
But behind this, there is something even more disgusting.
That is to visit alone.
In order to appear natural, everyone has to stay in the classroom and pretend it is recess.
Li Zheng stood in a convenient place for the interview and accepted the interview.
Every word he said was clearly heard by the whole class, which was very embarrassing.
But even though he was so ashamed, Li Zheng gave the principal enough face, saying as much as possible that all this was the fault of the school and the teachers, and that I was just studying normally.
Originally, these questions and answers were all clichés and nonsense, the kind of things all competition champions and top scorers in college entrance exams would say.
But when asked a question, Li Zheng unconsciously became serious.
"So Li Zheng, will your future goal be related to chemistry?" the reporter asked.
Li Zheng answered calmly: "It may not necessarily be related to chemistry, but it must be related to scientific research."
"Oh? Why are you so sure?" The reporter became interested, "You may go abroad, you may enter a company, or you may start your own business. Why are you so sure that you will engage in scientific research? Is this your goal since childhood?"
Li Zheng faced the camera and breathed a sigh of relief.
Once in a while, tell the truth.
Unconsciously, his expression became sharp.
Before the reporter lady had time to respond, the macho man spoke:
"Most viewers will only see such a piece of news"
"Someone from our city won first place in the national chemistry competition."
"Viewers will see the school's cultivation, my efforts, the teacher's help, etc. from the news."
"But these are actually not the most fundamental factors."
"There is only one fundamental factor"
"money."
Upon hearing this, the reporter began to panic.
Teachers and classmates were also panicked.
But in the end, I wasn’t too panicked. After all, it wasn’t a live broadcast.
And Li Zheng has now entered the truth-telling time of "you can say whatever you want to say".
"Competition champions don't just pop out of thin air."
"It was made by the state with money."
"A chemical competition, from the preliminary rounds to the finals, to the training camp and the international finals."
"The organizational expenses are in the tens of millions."
"This does not include the energy investment and time preparation of so many famous teachers across the country."
"Now that I have won the championship, I will definitely enter a prestigious school in the future."
“For a college student from a prestigious university, the country’s annual investment is in the millions.”
"Including my family's investment and the state's investment in my compulsory education."
"I have been a so-called competition champion since I was in elementary school until I graduated from college."
"The education funds consumed will not be less than 5 million."
"At the same time, I also took up the top educational resources in the country."
"Indeed, I am able to have these only through my own efforts and through many layers of selection."
"But I know very well that these were not given to me by God, but by the whole society."
"Of course...God has indeed given me some things...but society has given me more..."
"Forget it, delete this paragraph, I'll say it again..."
"...it was given to me by the whole society."
"Without the collective, there would be no me."
"This is the birth of a competition champion, this is who I am."
"Being a lucky guy who's been given so many opportunities."
"I also just want to do things that only I can do."
"Whether going abroad or starting a business, everyone can have their own choice, but that was not my first choice."
"My choice is to stay here and move towards a more outstanding me step by step."
"Become the more unique me."
"Embrace the truer me."
"So, I want to make things...aimed at scientific research."
"It just so happens that this is also the best way for me to give back to the collective."
"That's it, that's what I really think."
"..."
"By the way, one last addition."
"I hate socializing based on interests. I like everyone to discuss and learn together."
"..."
"Wait... there's more"
"I love physics."
"..."
"Well, that's it."
"..."
"This time I'm really done, you can ask the next question."
It took a long time for the people in the classroom to calm down.
The reporter lady swallowed a big mouthful of saliva before saying: "You...you have to say this...we have to go back and digest it, we can't guarantee it will be broadcast..."
"It doesn't matter, I've said it before that it's convenient for the broadcast." Li Zheng nodded and smiled, "It's almost time to interview other classmates and teachers, right?"
"Yes... that's about it..." The reporter, under Li Zheng's guidance, put down the microphone for the time being, "What you just said... were your own thoughts?"
"Yes, I have a faster mind." Li Zheng nodded and said, "Actually, it's not a matter of improvisation. It's equivalent to thinking about it for about an hour... It's almost as intense as writing a Chinese composition."
"Oh? Are you good at Chinese too?"
"It's so-so, but the composition is passable."
"It's not convenient for that party to provide one or two excellent essays. Let's dig into them."
"Okay, my most proud composition is "Beyond the Light Cone of the Game of Great Powers..."
Before I even had time to finish writing the title of the essay, Tang Zhifei had already come over to kill me.
"Okay, okay, interview me, I'm the head teacher."
Tang Zhifei was sweating profusely and stood in front of Li Zheng to stop his dangerous speech.
"But..." The reporter lady was still a little curious, looking around and wanting to communicate with Li Zheng, "At least give the title of the essay..."
Naturally, Tang Zhifei would not give her a chance. In order to force Li Zheng away, he turned around and gave him a key.
"Go to the music classroom quickly." Tang Zhifei said to Lin Yujing at the same time, "Lin Yujing, the music teacher is here."
Lin Yujing was still immersed in Li Zheng's crazy speech.
When I heard this, I immediately said "huh?"
music teacher?
Is there this person in our school?
Although it was strange, it was great to be able to avoid the cameras, so Lin Yujing followed the order and went out.
As soon as the two of them left the classroom, Liu Xiaodong, who was secretly observing at the door, greeted them.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go and rehearse the show."
Although what Li Zheng said later was a bit harsh, he had already said everything he needed to say about the scene. Liu Xiaodong was also very happy to be praised and was happy to let Li Zheng and Lin Yujing go to the music classroom to be alone immediately.
So, under the leadership of the principal, other teachers tacitly moved out of the way.
Only Jiang Qinghua, who was standing behind, looked surprised and cold: "A show? You two have a show? When..."
"Okay, don't think too much." Li Zheng stepped forward and took off his school uniform, "Change back quickly, I might have to interview you again."
After saying that, Li Zheng handed the key to Lin Yujing: "I'll change clothes with Qinghua first, and you go to the music classroom and wait for me."
"Music classroom?" Lin Yujing took the key and looked surprised, "Is there such a place?"
"Outside, the small bungalow next to the auditorium." Liu Xiaodong pointed at it and said with a smile, "The reputation of our school depends on you two."
Lin Yujing narrowed her eyes and felt that things were not simple.
But no matter how you think about it, going to the music classroom is more comfortable than staying here and facing the camera.
She reluctantly obeyed.
…
After changing clothes with Jiang Qinghua, Li Zheng quickly walked out of the teaching building. From a distance, he saw the door of the small bungalow next to the auditorium open, locking the music classroom.
Li Zheng trotted all the way, and when he was almost in front of the door, a piano tune floated in the classroom.
At first it was just a chord accompaniment, a bit lazy, as if it was trying to find the time.
At a comfortable time, the main melody cuts in with a high profile.
The two melodies are entangled together like a dance.
This also made Li Zheng's pace gradually slow down.
He knows nothing about music.
But after all, I can hear some beauty and ugliness.
This kind of comfortable, lazy and natural piano sound can obviously only be achieved by masters.
The atmosphere is retro, like being in a small bar cafe.
But at the same time, it also has an ethereal romance.
After listening to the music, even a music-illiterate like Li Zheng shook his head and savored it, feeling like he was floating in the air.
Wonderful.
At the end of the music, just as he was immersed in it, an unexpectedly sweet voice suddenly appeared, catching him off guard.
"inotherwords~"
"iloveyou"
The singing ends and the piano music ends.
Li Zheng's whole body froze at the sudden singing voice.
This is really...
So wonderful...
Numbness and goosebumps all over.
Could it be that...Lin Yujing...
Li Zheng held on to the wall and walked to the door, then glared.
In the classroom, Lin Yujing was the only one sitting in front of the piano, swinging her legs and looking at her phone, as if looking for music scores.
"Ha!" Li Zheng jumped in immediately, "You are so strong and you don't have a show?"
"!" Lin Yujing trembled, closed the piano instantly, and turned to glare at Li Zheng, "Eavesdropping?!"
Li Zheng burst into laughter and said, "Stop pretending, you're playing the piano just for me to eavesdrop on."
"..." Lin Yujing gritted her teeth and wanted to curse but couldn't.
As expected of...a master of emotional intelligence.
The little thoughts hidden so deeply can be guessed at once.
On Li Zheng's side, as soon as he entered the music classroom, he excitedly searched around.
Ha, I am just worried that there are no good programs.
Lin Yujing's piano skills and singing voice are here.
If everyone cooperates, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to activate Wushuang?
"It's easy to say that you are so strong." Li Zheng said while flipping through the drawers in the back row of the classroom. "To tell you the truth, when I was in elementary school, I was the chief triangle player of the class choir, so I can coordinate with you."
"...three...triangles?" Lin Yujing was shocked.
Can you also describe this kind of musical instrument?
"Yeah." Li Zheng was very confident, "Because the singing was too out of tune, I could only play the triangle during the chorus. I have been doing this for six years. There are also rattles, small cymbals, etc. I am proficient in them."
Lin Yujing looked at Li Zheng who was enjoying himself, and suddenly felt pity for him.
It's not pitiful to be forced to hit the triangle.
It's very pitiful to have a good time playing.
"Well..." Lin Yujing sighed unbearably.
"What's the point of this?" Li Zheng finally dug out the triangle set from the drawer inside. He picked it up and struck it with a "ding". He turned around and said with a smile, "You will play and sing solo, and I will be responsible for the timely 'ding'."
alright."
Lin Yujing became more and more sympathetic to Li Zheng.
Just because the real reality is, whether it's chorus or piano performance.
There is never a need for a triangle.
It's just a backdrop to gather people.
After all, Lin Yujing couldn't bear to tell the truth, so she turned around and said, "No."
"Oh, stop pretending, let's work together once in a while." Li Zheng came forward generously, "With your level of playing, coupled with my rhythmic ability, you can definitely win face for the school."
Still capable of rhythm?
Use your brain, Li Zheng.
So many people sang together.
Who will hear the sound of the triangle?
Did your elementary school music teacher lie to you like this?
Lin Yujing almost cried with heartache.
"...I came here to avoid being interviewed. No one would listen." Lin Yujing was afraid that Li Zheng would see her distress, so she quickly put on her cat-eared hood and lay on the piano with her arms pillowed on her head.
She didn't know that this behavior would have a greater impact on Li Zheng.
"Don't...don't..." Li Zheng stared at the pair of cat ears and became stiff again, "Don't wear those..."
"Huh?" Lin Yujing turned her head while lying on her stomach, touched the top of her hood alertly, and suddenly smiled, "Meow?"
Li Zheng went crazy.
His whole face changed.
"Hahaha." Lin Yujing became happy instead, "Meow, meow, meow."
"Enough...enough, enough..." Li Zheng turned back suddenly, clutching the triangle and cursed, "Why are you so boring?"
"Haha, if you ask me to perform again, I will meow."
"..." Li Zheng turned his back and asked unwillingly, "Then... at least tell me what the song was called just now."
Lin Yujing chuckled and said: "I don't even know this, I am really a music idiot, meow."
"Don't add weird oral habits!"
"Meow? You are the only one who still wants to control me, meow."
"..." Li Zheng turned around with a shuddering face, "I will give away the model rocket when I get back, give it... to Jiang Qinghua!"
"Don't!" Lin Yujing was so frightened that she quickly removed her hood and stood up nervously, "Stop making trouble."
"Humph." Li Zheng then turned around, pulled up a chair, sat down, wiped his saliva, and asked seriously, "Let's not talk about the performance. I just want to know what the song is."
Li Zheng thought very clearly at this time that if Lin Yujing refused to perform, he would have no choice but to force himself.
When I was playing triangle just now, the relaxation prompt of [Music Performance] popped up. The instruments present all have skills that can be purchased with coins.
Although he can easily become a master performer, he is still an idiot with no knowledge of music and has no idea of any excellent music.
Therefore, if possible, he would like to choose the song he just heard, which seems to suit his taste.
Lin Yujing saw Li Zheng being so determined and thought of how pitiful he was, so she finally couldn't bear to bully him anymore.
"Did you like that one just now?" Lin Yujing looked out the window and asked, "Where do you like it?"
"Well, I like it..." Li Zheng pondered for a long time before shaking his head, "I can't tell, I just like it. I want to say...it smells like space, do you believe it?"
"!!" Lin Yujing was shocked.
Physics!
Can this... can you taste this?
"Oh?" Li Zheng became excited unconsciously when he saw Fried Hair, "Am I right?"
"I'm confused!" Lin Yujing hurriedly straightened her hair, "The title of the song is "flymetothemoon", you can check it yourself."
When Li Zheng heard this song title, his eyes widened immediately.
"Wonderful!"
The artistic conception of this song title is actually difficult to translate. If it were forced to be translated, it would probably be "Fly Me to the Moon".
No wonder the ethereal spirit is so strong, no wonder it is so soft and romantic.
Although he has released so many songs, Li Zheng didn't know that this song became famous in the golden age of space in the last century. It even became the first and only song by mankind when the Apollo spacecraft landed on the moon.
Songs played on the planet.
But Li Zheng didn't know it for the time being, and he found out within half a minute.
Thank you Internet, thank you search engines.
At the same time, he also discovered that there are countless cover versions of this song.
He also clicked on it to enjoy it.
Wonderful is wonderful.
But after all, it was still not as good as Lin Yujing's two blows just now.
At least this is Li Zheng's own aesthetic.
After listening to several versions, he sighed and put away his phone, leaned forward slightly and asked: "I don't want you to perform, but can you play and sing it again for me? I still like your version."
Lin Yujing trembled when she heard this. She turned back to the piano in a panic and said stiffly: "I... no professional singer can sing well..."
"Stop being modest and let's have a conversation."
"Not coming!"
"I can give you the music with Triangle."
"Get off!"
Li Zheng looked at Lin Yujing's stiff back and rolled his eyes.
Emotional intelligence activates.
It has just been confirmed that Lin Yujing played at that time specifically so that she could hear it.
Now there are various rejections.
It's obvious that the woman has a different opinion.
If you look closely at her back, she seems to be laughing and chuckling.
He seemed to be waiting for his humble request.
No, in this case, continuing to plead will only lead to inferiority.
Just like Lao Li.
For Lin Yujing, the real approach is nothing more than the four-character mantra
Can't get used to it.
After thinking about this section, Li Zheng deliberately yawned hugely: "Huh... forget it, I'm going to score Jiang Qinghua's flute."
As soon as these words came out, as expected, Lin Yujing visibly trembled.
"...as...as you want"
Although she said this, her aura was obviously much weaker.
So, should Li Zheng take advantage of his scheme and go out to find Jiang Qinghua?
of course not.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance.
The essence of playing hard to get is to pretend to play hard to get but to really catch.
If he really left now, it would be just a matter of indulgence.
In the end, there was nothing but Jiang Qinghua.
Therefore, the only correct approach is
"I originally wanted to give you the soundtrack with all my strength so that you could sing this song properly." Li Zheng pursed his lips and said seductively, "Would you like to listen to my triangle first? It's very different."
"I don't want the triangle, it's too pitiful..." Lin Yujing struggled for a while, and finally squeezed out the words while grabbing the corner of her clothes, "Just... don't you know other instruments?"
"Oh?" Li Zheng narrowed his eyes, "I can practice whatever you need."
"The guitar is the best...but...it's too late, only five days." Lin Yujing lay on the piano, stroking the board and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help the school, the main thing is to play the piano and sing at the same time.
, I can’t do it well either.”
She didn't notice that while she was talking, Li Zheng had already taken off the guitar case from the top of the cabinet in the corner of the classroom.
What a magical music classroom.
Although I never use it, I have everything.
Li Zheng took back the dusty piano case and opened it without wiping it.
There was a solid-colored acoustic guitar lying in the box. It didn't look good or bad, but the strings were extremely loose. When I stretched out my hand to pluck it, it almost made no sound.
Lin Yujing heard the movement and turned around sharply.
"What do you want... to do?"
Li Zheng stroked the strings with a coquettish smile on his face: "What, are you scared?"
"No...impossible, don't you know how to do triangles?"
"I didn't say 'only' I could." Li Zheng raised his arm fiercely, "You go find the score and I'll adjust it."
Lin Yujing's face suddenly burned up.
Really...really coming...
Chapter completed!
