Chapter 99: Asking Him to Save the Day

In the span of one night, Lu Yan He finished a set of liberal arts mock exam papers and organized the relevant knowledge points.

He finished organizing and stretched, and when he looked up at the time, it was already almost midnight.

He had been back for almost two hours.

"I'm so sleepy." Lu Yan He turned on the audio for the live stream and simultaneously clicked on the chat to see what everyone was saying. "I just finished a set of liberal arts exam papers to test my learning results from this period."

In the chat, someone quickly popped up, asking: Is the host going to end the stream?

Lu Yan He shook his head and said: "I still need to go over vocabulary; our teacher is going to spot-check us tomorrow morning."

A group of people typed "66666".

Someone asked how to learn English.

Lu Yan He said: "How to learn English depends on the foundation. If the foundation is very poor, memorize vocabulary first. If the foundation is okay, start with reading comprehension. This is my own feeling; everyone should base it on their own situation."

Someone said they couldn't remember vocabulary no matter how they memorized it, or they memorized it today, slept, and forgot it the next day.

Lu Yan He said: "You forget after memorizing because you didn't use it after memorizing, so it's very easy to forget. I usually memorize a new word and try to use it constantly in the next few days, or actively think about it—for example, when sitting on the bus or listening to some audio. It's similar to making sentences with words; use the word to make some sentences, use it a few times, and you'll slowly remember it."

"There is another more boring method, which is to spot-check yourself," Lu Yan He said. "We have an English teacher who basically comes to spot-check us every day, making us write down words from memory. They come once or twice a day, five to ten words each time. If you write it wrong, copy it a few times to remember it. After all, there are no shortcuts for this kind of vocabulary; just memorize it by rote. Once you memorize enough, you'll develop a sense of the language, and it won't be as difficult to memorize other words later."

Everything Lu Yan He said was based on his own experience.

His English wasn't very good either, but he was able to get this score in the end because he put in the hard work. To put it bluntly, it's a language. If you can truly recognize all the words, even if you don't understand the grammar, you can at least get a passing grade. What's more, English is actually difficult at the entry level. Once you have a basic vocabulary and a sense of the language, it's just like constantly adding water to a pool.

Many people in the chat said they didn't have that perseverance, and their enthusiasm for memorizing vocabulary was often "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets," or they couldn't remember it at all and would get distracted while memorizing.

Lu Yan He thought for a moment and said: "How about I lead everyone to memorize vocabulary in the live stream from now on?"

The chat suddenly became lively:

—Good!

—No going back on your word!

—Whether I can pass depends on you!

Lu Yan He looked at everyone's enthusiasm and was suddenly eager to try, feeling full of motivation.

"I have to do my own, so how about this: I can definitely stream every night at ten o'clock, unless I have work. Let's set it at ten o'clock every night. I'll put the words to be memorized that day on the screen—although I don't know how to do it yet, I'll figure it out. Ten words every day, just ten minutes, let's memorize them together. Perhaps memorizing vocabulary together gives everyone the motivation of competition and makes it easier to concentrate?"

Everyone typed the word "can" one after another.

Lu Yan He realized belatedly and sighed: "When did my live stream room get a bunch of students?"

"High School Freshman Girl": Hahaha, I heard from my classmate that there is a handsome guy who streams himself studying every day, so I found my way here. Sorry, I'm a fan of good looks!

"I'm the Coolest": I... saw the platform's recommendation and came in. I actually just found it boring to read by myself, so I searched to see if there were any streamers who study on the platform. I didn't hold out much hope, but I didn't expect there to be one. I heard you're also a star.

"I'm Ugly and Proud": Hahaha, does the person above not know that the hottest song these past two days was sung by the host?

"I'm the Coolest": What song?

"I'm Ugly and Proud": "Commemoration," go search for it. It's super good, a song that only a high school student could write. I've been graduated for several years, but after hearing this song and searching for the singer, I realized this singer is a real high school student who also opens a live stream to study every night. I came today.

"Miss Eat Dirt": Treasure idol.

"The Handsome Me": A rich lady has appeared!

"Truth is a Lie": Rich lady?

Suddenly, the public screen showed that a user with the ID "Cen Sang" sent five 【Lucky Balloons】 to the host.

"The Handsome Me": Damn? Another big spender? I really envy the host; being handsome is just attractive to people!

After "Cen Sang" sent the gift, they appeared in the chat again: Host, keep it up. I hope you can really get into Zhenhua or Yuming.

"I'm Ugly and Proud": Is the host that ambitious? Isn't the name of this live stream room just a gimmick? Are you really aiming for Zhenhua or Yuming?

"High School Freshman Girl": It seems to be real. I feel like the host is streaming every night, quite hard-working, even more diligent than the top students in my class.

In the chat, everyone was talking, one word after another.

Lu Yan He's phone suddenly vibrated twice; someone sent him a message.

He picked up his phone, opened it, and it was actually a message from Hou Jun: Can you come and save the day tomorrow?

Lu Yan He was stunned: Ah? Hou Dao, what's wrong?

Hou Jun's call came through.

Seeing this, Lu Yan He said to the live stream: "I have a call, I'll mute it first."

He muted it before answering Hou Jun's sudden call.

"Hou Dao?" This call was too unexpected; Lu Yan He hadn't anticipated it at all. "Please go ahead."

Hou Jun said: "We originally scheduled to record a new episode of 'Small Song Gathering' tomorrow night, but one of the originally scheduled guests suddenly can't make it. The recording time has already been set. Since you came to rehearse last time, didn't you rehearse two songs? Besides 'Commemoration,' which you've already sung, there's also your previous song, 'Dream-Chasing Youth.' We want to invite you to come and save the day. How about it?"

Lu Yan He said: "Hou Dao, I have no problem here. Anyway, they are performances I've just prepared, but I'll have to trouble you to communicate with my agent. He... might not be willing to let me go."

Hou Jun asked in surprise: "Why? The performance you aired yesterday had great feedback online, and the playback data for the song 'Commemoration' on major music platforms is also very good. We all think this song will slowly become popular."

Hou Jun clearly misunderstood Lu Yan He's meaning. He thought Zhou Ping'an would look down on "Small Song Gathering" as just a small show and wouldn't be willing to let Lu Yan He, an artist who had become a bit popular recently, come on the show again, so he immediately started talking about the broadcast effect of the last show.

Lu Yan He didn't know how to explain it either.

He said: "I... Hou Dao, please contact my agent. As long as he nods, I have no problem here. The time and performance are OK." ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
