Chapter 1680

~15 min read 2,837 words

Lu Qiaochuan was unconvinced by Wang Yan's perfunctory attitude; he was bottling up this frustration, wanting to get things done. While showing off himself and making Zhong Bai happy, he also wanted to let Wang Yan see that it wasn't just him, Wang Yan, who was a big shot...

This was a counterattack for having his protagonist role stolen.

In fact, Lu Qiaochuan had long had issues with Wang Yan. First, he chatted with Li Shuci, then he flirted with Lin Luoxue, and later he had his Weibo exposed by Yu Hao, showcasing excellent photography skills. After military training, he went even further: first beating Pan Zhen, then training the instructors, and every morning he would laugh and joke with the instructors, calling them brothers.

Not only that, he got along well with everyone else in the class, wasn't a stranger to people in other majors, and even the people in the directing class had a pretty good relationship with him.

He thought of himself as a rising star, but after entering university, he became indistinguishable from the crowd, unable to walk into the center of people's attention. Deep inside, he felt lost and anxious, unable to even sleep well...

Once the song was decided, just like in the original drama, Lu Qiaochuan discussed the song change with the flexible Pan Zhen, obtained the consent of the electrical editing class, had Xiao Haiyang use his family connections to make the accompaniment, and then, taking advantage of the running competition where Xiao Haiyang took first place, he proposed the song change request to Instructor Zhang.

Wang Yan didn't participate in this running competition because no one could outrun him, and it was meaningless for him to participate; it wasn't even an honor, not even as good as a school sports meet. So, in the end, it was Xiao Haiyang, who had always been at odds with the instructor and was punished by running laps, who went to participate in the competition...

Before they even got approval, the rehearsal that night had already switched to the new song.

And so, everyone sang an English song while beating big drums, bringing a kind of inexplicable yet impressive shock to the vast number of students watching the fun...

"How was it? Ho-w! Wa-s! It!"

Lu Qiaochuan walked up to Zhong Bai and asked the question, expecting an affirmation.

Zhong Bai clapped her hands excitedly, like a little girl: "It's great, it's great, it's simply too great. It's truly refreshing. I knew you could do it."

"Yeah, yeah, Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to have such taste, to pull off such a great scene. Did you see the spring in those girls' eyes? Mr. Lu, seize the opportunity, your spring has arrived." Ren Yifan laughed and draped his arm over Lu Qiaochuan's shoulder.

"Get lost, you think everyone is like you." Zhong Bai glared unhappily.

And while the three were playing around, not far away, Xiao Haiyang was staring fixedly in that direction. At the same time, beside Xiao Haiyang was Yu Hao, shaking his head and laughing happily.

A bit further away, Li Shuci said earnestly to Wang Yan: "Wang Yan, you all sang really well."

"Thank you." Wang Yan smiled and nodded.

"Mm." Li Shuci also nodded, and then left, as if she had come just to say that one sentence.

Lin Luoxue also heard the conversation between the two and came over with a smile: "This song wasn't something you wanted to change, right?"

"It's obvious, isn't it?"

Over there, Lu Qiaochuan was showing off.

Lin Luoxue just smiled and didn't offer an evaluation. Although she acted a bit "green tea-ish" and liked to tease men, her character outside of romantic relationships was quite solid; for example, she didn't badmouth people behind their backs.

Of course, she didn't spare anyone either; she asked if this song wasn't something Wang Yan wanted to change, and the unfinished implication had already said everything...

Without saying more about it, Lin Luoxue glanced at Bi Shisan, who was leaning blankly against the wall beside Wang Yan, and then her gaze fell on the infatuated Xiao Haiyang.

"Tsk tsk, how miserable." She shook her head repeatedly.

Wang Yan smiled and nodded, and took a photo with his Aiyipao 5s.

He also shook his head repeatedly: "Too bad I didn't bring a camera."

Lin Luoxue leaned over to look at the photo and saw a group of students standing there chatting, but right in the middle of the crowd, Zhong Bai and Lu Qiaochuan were revealed playing around, and Xiao Haiyang had a side profile where one could see his infatuated gaze, all full of deep affection.

"I have to say, the gap between people is really huge. You just snapped a photo casually and it's so good-looking, so full of story."

"I've been watching for several minutes, my phone has been ready the whole time. Grasping the timing is a necessary quality for a photographer."

"You are very excellent."

"Thank you."

Bi Shisan, who was beside them, also leaned over to take a look, then shook his head and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Lin Luoxue asked curiously: "Bi Shisan, why are you shaking your head? Is it that Lao Wang didn't take a good photo?"

"Although I haven't seen Wang Yan's other photos, this one is enough to prove that he is a very excellent photographer. Whether it's the composition or the timing, it's all very good. If you process the colors later and highlight the focus, this is a very good photo."

"Rare to hear you say so much."

Bi Shisan glanced at Lin Luoxue: "There is always someone better than you; admitting others' excellence is not a very difficult thing."

"I concede, Brother Bi, you just lost by a narrow margin." Wang Yan smiled.

"Thank you for your comfort, Brother Wang, I will strive to improve." Bi Shisan nodded in response.

Lin Luoxue was speechless at the exchange between the two. She gave an eight-toothed smile: "So Bi Shisan, why were you shaking your head?"

"Admitting others' excellence is sometimes also very difficult." Bi Shisan shook his head, his tone quite sighing.

"So what did you see?"

"It's obvious. Xiao Haiyang put in a lot of effort for this song change, but look, it's clearly Lu Qiaochuan who reaped more attention. Xiao Haiyang is unhappy, so he is staring at him. You can't see it, it's not your problem; just think more about everything." Bi Shisan stood with his arms crossed, tilted his head, and spoke with conviction.

Lin Luoxue was awkward for two seconds, then pursed her lips, let out a long breath, and couldn't help but clap in praise: "You are really smart!"

"The brain should be used often. As long as you also use your brain often, although you can't be like me, there will definitely be improvement."

"I thank you!" These words were squeezed out from between Lin Luoxue's teeth.

Wang Yan laughed out loud, Lin Luoxue patted him angrily, and left indignantly...

Just at this moment, Yu Hao, who turned his head inadvertently, saw this scene and rolled over like a marmot smelling a melon.

"Quick, confess honestly, what exactly did I miss?"

Wang Yan showed his phone to Yu Hao, letting him see the photo he had just taken.

Yu Hao opened his eyes wide, took the phone, zoomed in to look at the photo, and then directly operated it to send it to himself: "The photo is not bad, I've requisitioned it. But Lao Wang, you must never send this photo out, otherwise, something big will happen."

"Indeed, it's easy to destroy the feelings between classmates." Bi Shisan beside them nodded in agreement.

"Yo, Shisan, you've seen it all?" Yu Hao looked at Bi Shisan in surprise.

Bi Shisan tilted his head: "Very clearly."

This was a very interesting misunderstanding, and Wang Yan didn't explain...

The group who sang an English song was happy, just waiting for tomorrow night when everyone would be in a formal setting, in front of all the freshmen in the school, to become famous in one battle.

However, unfortunately, Instructor Zhang brought a terrible piece of news, which was that the application to change the song was not approved, and they could only sing "Night at the Naval Port."

Instructor Zhang said: "That's about enough. I fought for you, and you did your best. You performed today, so stop messing around. Tomorrow is the last day. After the military parade in the morning, there's nothing to do, you can have free activities. The performance starts at seven in the evening, and you'll go on stage around eight-thirty. The day after tomorrow, after breakfast, you can get lost. From now on, let's not see each other again. Alright, dismissed."

After saying that, he left, leaving a group of students looking at each other, returning to the dormitory in low spirits.

Even after returning to the dormitory, everyone had no heart to soak their feet. Only Wang Yan and Bi Shisan were using hot water to soak their feet comfortably, each reading a copy of "Hilarious Campus"...

Xiao Haiyang went outside to rinse his feet with cold water, and after returning, he looked at Yu Hao, who was motionless and had extinguished his fire, with a smile: "What's wrong? Didn't you quite like 'Night at the Naval Port'?"

Yu Hao snorted and turned over, ignoring him.

At this time, Lu Qiaochuan on the side said: "Falling short of success, I'm not reconciled."

Xiao Haiyang comforted him: "Alright, today was already majestic enough. Female students screamed, male students rolled their eyes, and with the instructor shouting like that, everyone knows we were forced. That's enough."

"It's not enough! Not majestic enough! We can't let those who want to see us make a fool of ourselves succeed! We'll continue practicing tonight. When we sing tomorrow night, we'll sing 'Night at the Naval Port' first, and then we'll petition the captain. Anyway, we're the last one, the captain won't say anything."

Lu Qiaochuan spoke with certainty, leaving no room for doubt. There was just one thing not good: when he said they couldn't let those who wanted to see them make a fool of themselves succeed, he glanced at Wang Yan and Bi Shisan, who were sitting inside soaking their feet, and focused on looking at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan naturally had to speak: "If you want to talk, just talk, what are you looking at me for? As if I'm someone who wants to see you make a fool of yourself."

"I didn't mean that, I was just looking at you, is that not allowed? Your muscles are so good-looking, you're not afraid of being looked at, right?"

Wang Yan shook his head: "People who are sarcastic are the most annoying. If you have a temper, don't digest it yourself, you have to accommodate others. Your brain also has problems, you're looking for trouble with me? Do you think I have the heart to debate those useless things with you?"

"Lao Wang! We're all classmates, no need for that." Xiao Haiyang stood up and blocked the middle.

Yu Hao, who was lying on the upper bunk, also sat up: "Lao Wang, it has nothing to do with you, Qiaochuan is also anxious, actually he has no other thoughts, don't take it to heart."

Lu Qiaochuan was a bit sober at this time. It was the previous majesty and the sudden blow that made him lose himself. But he finally understood that if he provoked him one more time, he would face a unilateral beating.

At this time, Wang Yan spoke: "If you are anxious, you should hold it in yourself, or find someone to talk to, instead of finding me to vent. I don't owe you money. Back to the problem of seeing people make a fool of themselves, you really have an opinion about me, so I'll just make it clear to you.

If I had denied you yesterday, Lao Jiang and the others would have supported me, and this song wouldn't have been changed. And this song that was changed, I don't think many people have heard it, and how many people have the English ability to understand it? Even I dare to say that our entire electrical photography class, the English scores in the college entrance examination were just barely passing.

Now the application to change the song hasn't passed, you said to sing 'Night at the Naval Port' first, and then beg to sing the new song, so the problem comes: you yourself felt that 'Night at the Naval Port' wasn't manly enough, so you changed the song. Since you can sing 'Night at the Naval Port' now, why sing the new song again? You'll say that today's singing was very good, the performance was very majestic, everyone worked hard for a long time and finally memorized the lyrics, it's a pity not to sing it, using sunk costs to speak, right?"

Wang Yan waved his hand, "Alright, you don't need to say more, let's just let it go this time. If there's a next time, I'll have to compare with you whose temper is bigger. You don't need to worry about me, just do what you think, I don't care."

At this time, Bi Shisan, who had his head down, raised his head: "Seconded."

Seeming to be afraid of people misunderstanding, he explained: "I seconded that you don't need to worry about me, just do what you think, I don't care. As for what he said before about comparing whose temper is bigger, I don't second that."

"Shisan~" Yu Hao laughed, "You really are an expert at livening up the atmosphere."

"I have always been very humorous, didn't you notice?" Bi Shisan was very serious.

Xiao Haiyang supported him: "Of course, we noticed it long ago."

"You are all people with vision."

Bi Shisan tilted his head, gave an affirmation, and then lowered his head to continue reading "Hilarious Campus"...

Lu Qiaochuan rebuilt his psychological construction at this time: "Sorry, Wang Yan."

Wang Yan waved his hand and read "Hilarious Campus".

So Lu Qiaochuan continued: "What are your opinions?"

The result was no surprise, Xiao Haiyang opposed it, he didn't like this kind of behavior that broke the rules, while others basically agreed, wanting to continue to fight for it.

Jiang Yunming and the others looked at Wang Yan.

"I've already told you, I abstain. I am a reasonable person, not a bully who bullies the weak, I hit people because others are unreasonable. I manage the sky and the earth, but I can't manage you shitting and farting, isn't that the truth? I have always been a person who speaks the truth, says what I have to say, I didn't say the opposite, don't worry."

So everyone was relieved, Lu Qiaochuan seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness with Wang Yan, he went to other dormitories to incite other classmates, of course, including the group in the electrical editing class.

Everyone memorized the lyrics until the second half of the night because of this.

By the next morning, everyone was listless eating breakfast and doing military training.

Just like in the original drama, Zhang Chi scolded them, asked who took the lead, Lu Qiaochuan didn't dare to admit it, and they all went to run laps. When the military parade came, they walked quite poorly, simply unbearable to look at...

And all of this was seen by Zhong Bai. After the performance started, she took people to find the classmate who played the music in the background to play the accompaniment.

After singing "Night at the Naval Port", a burst of music sounded, they became excited and started singing, the instructors shouted to stop them, and the students frantically made noise and booed.

Because the team was arranged according to size, Wang Yan was at the head of one side. The performance was to go on stage from one side and off from the other. So after "Night at the Naval Port" was sung, Wang Yan went off stage. It was impossible for him to linger here waiting for the next song.

And after he went off stage, the music sounded, the others who had already come down were stunned for a moment, Lu Qiaochuan incited them, and they all went back.

Wang Yan simply didn't go up again, watching these classmates singing excitedly from below, watching Lu Qiaochuan and Xiao Haiyang beating drums, watching the instructors below being furious, watching other classmates booing...

It seemed that at this moment, the English revolutionary song they sang really became a true portrayal of their rebellious spirit that broke the rules at this moment.

They gained great spiritual satisfaction.

And achieving all this was just singing an English song that not many people could understand...
