Chapter 552: My Brother-in-Law is Luo Mo
"These are the lyrics from Luo Mo's 'Youth of China'." Xu Jinzhu looked at the essay prompt, his face revealing shock.
Surprised? Unexpected?
You tell me what is called a Surprise, what the hell is called a Surprise?
The pen he was spinning in his hand dropped onto the desk, making a distinct "clatter" in the quiet exam hall, and combined with his incredibly strange expression, it made the proctor stare at him for quite a while.
This middle-aged woman even specifically circled around Xu Jinzhu to see what was wrong with this examinee.
"Could it be that he guessed the topic correctly?" she thought to herself.
Impossible, impossible.
In the Beijing Paper's Chinese essay prompt, Luo Mo's name did not appear, only the song title "Youth of China" and the lyrics within it.
Although Xu Jinzhu had detested Luo Mo intensely ever since his sister's relationship was made public, he also knew clearly that this was his song.
Because as soon as this song appeared in the world, it made countless young people feel fired up.
He couldn't even remember how many people had said to him: "Zhu, your brother-in-law's new song 'Youth of China', it sounds so awesome!"
Of course, at such times, Xu Jinzhu's reaction was usually: "What brother-in-law? How many times do I have to tell you?!"
At this very moment, Xu Jinzhu in the exam hall looked at the exam question, feeling incomparably confused in his heart.
"This can actually become a college entrance exam essay prompt?"
"I've never heard of any Singer's song being able to become an essay prompt!"
His sister, as a top diva, didn't even have this treatment.
Honestly, when he listened to this song, he also felt his blood boiling along with it.
His body was uncontrollably excited, yet his brain kept reminding himself: "Are you sick?"
On ordinary days, he could put his all into fighting against Luo Mo, and even suggest in private that his parents break them up.
However, this was the college entrance exam.
Xu Jinzhu was not the kind of person who would not take the college entrance exam seriously just because his family background was well-off.
He would not wantonly squander the major options in life just because he was born with a few more choices than others.
This was not just an exam; it was also the answer sheet for his high school career.
"Tsk, the topic is 【Youth and Mission】." He began to conceive it.
This gave Xu Jinzhu a feeling of being incomparably stifled.
It was as if he had already been led by the nose by Luo Mo on a spiritual level.
Otherwise... wouldn't you be going off-topic?
Going off-topic is the great taboo of writing!
The handwriting is already this ugly, so it absolutely cannot go off-topic!
At the same time, as a youth, a very strange idea popped into Xu Jinzhu's mind.
"If I write in the essay that this is my sister's boyfriend's song, I wonder what reaction and mood others will have when they see it?"
——"My prospective brother-in-law who sang his song into the college entrance exam essay prompt".
Xu Jinzhu shook his head and cursed himself again: "You have a major illness, damn it!"
After taking a deep breath, he began to write the essay.
The proctor wandered over to his side again, glanced down casually, and lost interest.
"Tsk, this kid's handwriting is really ugly."
Time passed second by second, and Xu Jinzhu finished the essay.
He actually felt that he had written it quite well, with a feeling of inspiration flowing like a spring.
The time to hand in the papers arrived, and after Xu Jinzhu walked out of the exam hall, he was suddenly a bit dazed.
At times like this, examinees who know each other will always gather together in groups of three or five.
Three boys and two girls came over together, walking quickly toward Xu Jinzhu with excited faces.
One of the boys slapped his shoulder hard.
"Why are you hiding in this Corner, making us unable to find anyone for so long."
"Zhu, no, Brother Zhu! Your brother-in-law is an Ox! The song even became a college entrance exam question, too strong!"
Xu Jinzhu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
His friends were chattering endlessly on the side, and the words pouring into Xu Jinzhu's ears were mostly things like "Ox", "too badass", "strong and invincible", and "envy to tears".
For people like them, their friend's sister's boyfriend's song becoming a college entrance exam essay prompt was also a great topic of conversation!
Even after starting university, they could bring it up in the dormitory to talk about with their roommates.
Xu Jinzhu felt that he seemed to have suddenly become the most special one among the countless examinees in Beijing.
What all of you are being tested on is my sister's boyfriend's song!
He inexplicably had a feeling of vanity being satisfied.
Especially among these two girls, he actually had quite a good impression of one of them.
Xu Jinzhu, a young man with a relatively free-spirited way of thinking, inexplicably had another thought:
"If my essay score is low, as the Lyricist of 'Youth of China', does he have the final right of interpretation for those few lines of lyrics?"
If Luo Mo knew his thoughts, he would definitely say: "Call me brother-in-law first and let me hear it."
After he finished calling, he would say: "I'm just someone who writes songs, what do I know about 'Youth of China'."
Haven't you heard of many original authors taking reading comprehension tests on their own articles and still getting low scores?
What's more—your handwriting is really ugly, which is understandable.
………
………
Every year during the college entrance examination, the essay topics are a key focus for countless onlookers.
Therefore, this year's various college entrance examination essay topics have all climbed onto the Weibo Hot Search.
And the one with the most exaggerated popularity and the largest volume of discussion is the Beijing Paper.
Taking "Youth and Mission" as the topic is nothing out of the ordinary.
But once the lyrics from "Youth China Talk" appeared, it became something different entirely.
You have to know, Luo Mo is a Top Traffic!
Even if he weren't a Top Traffic, any Singer whose song appeared in a college entrance examination question would be a sensational event.
The first to be shocked by this matter was definitely the music scene.
Many Heavenly King and Heavenly Queen level Singers were dumbfounded, let alone everyone else.
"There's this kind of operation?"
"This is so Ox, it's more terrifying than any promotion or marketing; won't the song's popularity skyrocket?"
"What else can you say, the Hot Song Chart is going to be dominated again."
"How did they manage this? This is a first, right?"
"Amazing, it's my first time encountering something like this; I wouldn't have dared to even think of it before. I've truly had my eyes opened."
The entertainment industry is very fond of recognition in certain aspects.
Therefore, with Luo Mo's song becoming a college entrance examination essay topic, countless people are secretly envious.
The benefits in this, both overt and covert, are just too great.
As for the onlookers, they were all dumbfounded as well.
Those who like this song feel that this is quite magical.
Passersby also feel their eyes have been opened, thinking that the Beijing Paper is indeed daring to be the first, as it's the first time they've seen lyrics put into a question.
And Luo Mo himself, who was filming far away on set, learned of this news even later than many onlookers.
"Huh? The Beijing Paper?" Luo Mo was stunned.
"If I remember correctly, my future brother-in-law is a candidate this year," Luo Mo thought to himself.
He had previously heard Xu Chujing mention her high school student younger brother a few times; he is in his third year of high school this year, preparing for the college entrance examination.
When chatting about him, Luo Mo just smiled and asked: "Is he dating anyone?"
Sometimes he would see videos of so-called "aristocratic schools" on the internet; during school events, the boys wear suits and the girls wear gowns—it's truly opulent.
Below, netizens would comment: "Is their puppy love called an arranged marriage?"
After putting down his phone, Luo Mo slumped in the director's chair, thinking: "Future brother-in-law, perform well. If you bomb the Chinese exam, don't make me take the blame."
For this matter, he even made a special phone call to Xu Chujing.
Xu Chujing had also only learned about this a few minutes ago, and she was also shocked.
A song becoming a college entrance examination essay topic is simply a miracle!
She could already imagine that today would likely cause a massive earthquake in the music scene.
But what she didn't expect was that Luo Mo would have such a worry.
Xu Chujing said with a wry smile: "It doesn't really have much to do with you; that would just be his own lack of skill."
Tsk, her elbows have already started turning outward.
With a good boyfriend, who still needs a biological brother?
She just feels a bit regretful now that she didn't let Xu Jinzhu and Luo Mo meet.
If they had met, and they happened to talk about "Youth China Talk," and then Luo Mo casually gave him a few eloquent remarks, and this brat remembered them, then perhaps he could have used them in his essay.
—A disguised way of guessing the topic!
It's just a pity, where would there be so many coincidences?
After ending the call with Luo Mo, Xu Chujing even sent the Beijing Paper's college entrance examination essay topic to her family group on WeChat.
The Xu Family has two family groups in total; one group has Xu Jinzhu, and one group does not.
The group that has him is called "Loving Family."
The group that doesn't have him doesn't have a specific group name.
What Xu Chujing sent was the group without Xu Jinzhu.
At this time, Zhao Tong was at home, while Xu Chong'an had gone out to handle some matters.
The two picked up their phones almost simultaneously, took a look at WeChat, and then let out a sound:
"Hmm?"
