Chapter 127 So Little Phoenixes

Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu stepped down from the stage.

Then, after sitting next to He Meng, Xia Xinyu immediately covered her face with both hands and said with exceptional guilt, "I'm sorry!"

Even now, thinking of that scene, she felt like she was really stupid.

She had actually stood there dumbfounded!

If Chen Yuan hadn't reminded her with a whistle, the stage accident would have been even more serious, and it might have ended right then and there.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all in the past, don't think about it." Chen Yuan put his hand on Xia Xinyu's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Sigh…" Xia Xinyu was still a little sad, unwilling to forgive herself so easily.

She felt like she could mess up something so simple, even after practicing it so many times.

And at the beginning, Chen Yuan was the one who taught her how to sing.

In other words, from beginning to end, she was the one being helped.

To put it bluntly, Chen Yuan was simply playing with her, a useless person.

"Don't think like that." At this time, He Meng comforted, "You made up for it very well later, and you sang very well. It's hard to reach Chen Yuan's level, he's a monster."

"..." Xia Xinyu looked at He Meng, and seeing the other person's sincere expression, she felt a little better. "I guess so."

"Oh right, you have to guide me later too."

He Meng realized that she rarely sang a cappella, so she panicked all of a sudden, and said very seriously, "If I'm like Xinyu, you whistle too."

"Sisters, let me off the hook, don't cause any more stage accidents." Seeing He Meng say this too, Chen Yuan looked tired.

After he said that, Xia Xinyu pouted, then lowered her head and said softly, "It's all my fault, I scared you, I won't drag you down again next time..."

Because Xia Xinyu was about to cry, He Meng quickly tried even harder to comfort her, "Really, it's not..."

"Acting?"

At this time, Chen Yuan suddenly pinched Xia Xinyu's cheek and asked with particular calmness.

"..." Xia Xinyu, who had been exposed, smiled and stuck out her tongue, making a mischievous face. "You found out?"

"Looking at the way your eyes are fluttering, I knew you were about to become a drama queen."

"Hehe, you're so smart. But I really felt guilty at first."

"I know, I could tell."

Tsk.

He Meng, who was preparing to comfort the little glass heart Xia Xinyu, gradually pursed her opened mouth, making a clicking sound.

Then she turned her head, her back to the two of them, and clenched her fist.

Could she beat these two people to death?

She was serious.

She was kindly helping to coax his girlfriend.

She didn't expect it to become a part of their flirting!

Despicable!

She felt like a dog squatting on the side of the road, inexplicably kicked, and then the girl next to her clapped cheerfully: Honey, you kicked so far!

"Then I'll go back." After finishing her business, Xia Xinyu took the initiative to suggest.

"Okay, I'll take you." Chen Yuan stood up.

"No need, sit down." Xia Xinyu forcefully made Chen Yuan sit back in his seat, and then said to the two of them, "I'm afraid you'll be called to perform later, so don't bother taking me. I'm going to find Zhou Fu to change clothes now, good luck to you two."

He Meng nodded with a smile, giving an okay gesture: "I'll try not to hold your boyfriend back."

"It's okay." Xia Xinyu covered her mouth and laughed generously, "I often bring him trouble, but he can always solve it reliably. He's very capable, don't feel burdened, it's okay to坑一下 *keng yi xia* (screw up) occasionally."

"...Ah, okay."

He Meng was stunned, not expecting Xia Xinyu to say such a thing.

At this time, she turned her head and found that after being praised by his girlfriend like that, Chen Yuan was obviously smug, and even put on a deep and aloof look, acting again.

Okay, okay, very good.

If you two don't get married, no matter whose wedding it is, I will tell this story and let the next one feel how affectionate your first love was.

Of course, I still hope it's the two of you in the end.

Otherwise, love will no longer be believable.

"I'm leaving."

After saying goodbye, Xia Xinyu left.

As she left, Chen Yuan suddenly felt like there was a subtle gaze cast in their direction.

It seemed to be looking at Xia Xinyu.

What was going on?

"So far, your performance has been the best." He Meng said with a smile.

"Oh, oh." Chen Yuan stopped paying attention to that gaze, and then said to He Meng, "There should only be seven or eight song programs. And there are more than twenty participants, the competition is a bit fierce."

"That's true, but with you here, it's still a sure thing." He Meng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Although this sounds a bit biao (slutty) for me to say... but from the audience's perspective, you are the most handsome and have the best singing skills among these guys."

"Where is that biao?"

Was it biao even if it was the truth?

"Hehe." He Meng shrugged, then said, "I've been watching the reactions of several judges just now, and found that they communicated a lot after you finished singing. It's different from when other people were on stage, they should be praising you!"

After He Meng said this, Chen Yuan was a little panicked.

Were they really praising them?

Or were they struggling with whether such a program could be staged at the New Year's Eve gala?

Could such a program appear at the New Year's Eve gala?

Director Li had been struggling with this issue.

It wasn't until he saw the message sent by He Hongtao that he could understand everything.

Then, he decisively gave a score of 99.

So when Zhou Xun was calculating the scores, he suddenly discovered that Director Li, who was the most conflicted, had given an outrageous score of 99.

He and the teachers next to him had given very fair scores of 95 and 94.

What change had occurred in his mindset?

This Principal He must have given instructions!

Director Li now came back to his senses.

From greeting Chen Yuan at the beginning, to leaving after listening to Chen Yuan, to sending that seemingly uninformative message, everything He Hongtao did was to ensure that Chen Yuan passed the audition.

So this score of 99 was a good score, he was very sensible.

Zhou Xun didn't understand what Director Li was nodding to himself about, but even if he removed the outrageous score he gave, the average score of "All is Love" from the remaining two teachers was still the highest among all the people so far.

Then, they would lock in this one.

Next, they would continue the audition.

The programs proceeded one by one.

Of course, one noon was not enough time.

They could only review half of the programs today at most.

They should finish the music first.

There was only one left.

"Class 18, Grade Two, 'Rolling Up the Pearl Curtain + Scarborough Fair'."

As Zhou Xun announced the program, the students in the audience were a little desperate after Chen Yuan and He Meng took the stage.

Why is it you again!

Moreover, after the same bow and salute, and then the male voice opened, this sense of despair also turned into a helpless chuckle.

"Completely different songs, and completely different singing methods, but they all sound so good."

"As soon as he opened his mouth, I could feel the advanced techniques, it sounds like Lin Zhixuan's version."

"How come there are also hired guns for a New Year's Eve gala?"

"God Yuan is here to do gigs."

When it comes to singing, even ordinary people without any professional knowledge can tell the difference between good and bad.

And for those that are particularly good, the ears will directly give feedback: Yo, good stuff!

Although the girl behind him was not as good, she was still at the average level of everyone, and did not hold him back.

This led to no reason to eliminate this program.

"It's a sure thing." Xiao 47 said with a smile to Cheng Haiying after watching.

"It's pretty good." Cheng Haiying also nodded.

At this time, Tang Siwen, who was sitting next to Cheng Haiying, looked at the two of them and asked curiously, "Do you both want Chen Yuan to pass the audition?"

"Yes." Xiao 47 did not hide it at all, and said with a very cheerful smile, "Chen Yuan is my good friend, and he also helped our class win the competition, I most want him to pass."

"Besides our own class's program."

Cheng Haiying looked at 47 and reminded him to correct himself.

"Ah, right, besides our own class's program, you're so cautious!" 47 gave Cheng Haiying a thumbs up.

"I see..."

Tang Siwen had some questions that needed to be answered.

But these two people did not seem to give her an answer.

How did they manage to support Chen Yuan so enthusiastically, and still not seem like it was because of 'like'?

If it was me,

Would he see through it immediately?

Xinyu would also see through it.

At this time, Tang Siwen looked at Chen Yuan who was walking off the stage, but did not know what expression to make more appropriate.

"Okay, everyone look over here."

At this time, Zhou Xun walked to the stage and said to everyone, "Today's audition will end here, the rest will be done tomorrow at noon. Then, the eight programs in the song group have been ranked, there are detailed scoring rules from the teachers, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask us privately."

After Zhou Xun said this, the people in the song group became nervous.

"Class 18, Grade Two, 'All is Love'."

After this was announced, everyone was not surprised.

Only this song, on the premise of a cappella, mobilized the atmosphere of the whole venue.

It deserved its name.

Then, Zhou Xun announced the second one: "Class 18, Grade Two, 'Rolling Up the Pearl Curtain + Scarborough Fair'."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that this was ranked according to the scores.

In other words, these two songs were the strongest.

It was expected, but when it was really announced, some people still showed not very good expressions.

They looked at Chen Yuan and He Meng.

But they were not hostile to these two, but were looking for Xia Xinyu.

At this time, Chen Yuan finally understood.

These people were looking for loopholes.

And this loophole was that Xia Xinyu was not a student of No. 11 High School.

Sure enough.

After all the song passing lists were announced, some of the contestants who did not pass suddenly became gloomy.

After looking at each other, one of the girls with glasses opened her mouth with righteous indignation, "Teacher, can someone who is not a student of No. 11 High School also participate in the New Year's Eve gala?"

As soon as this statement came out, almost everyone began to discuss in a low voice.

"Not a student of No. 11 High School? What do you mean?"

"Did someone hire a foreign aid?"

"It should be that girl in 'All is Love', she doesn't seem to be from Class 18, nor is she from our school."

"Really? No wonder, I haven't seen such a beautiful girl in school before..."

After talking about it, everyone found that there was no such person in the school.

But when they went to ask the students in Class 18, those people chose to remain silent.

Even Zhang Chao, who had always been upright, was silent at this time.

After all, in this class, almost no one hated Chen Yuan, and even Li Youyou, who had had a conflict with Chen Yuan, had no objection to him.

And Zhang Chao, Tang Jian, and others were even in his circle of friends... the outer circle, with a good relationship.

But that was all.

They could avoid kicking him when he was down, but they couldn't lie.

And the people in the inner circle of friends, Zhou Fu, He Sijiao, and Zhou Yu were not there either.

So at this moment, Chen Yuan had no help.

"What?" Zhou Xun didn't understand what the students were talking about, so he lowered his head and asked the students in the middle of the second row, "What is not from No. 11 High School, who is not from No. 11 High School?"

The person who was still full of righteous indignation just now was a little deflated after being asked alone, not defending their rights with everyone, and stammered, "Uh..."

"Say it, what's wrong?" Zhou Xun really didn't understand and hoped someone would answer him.

At this time, Chen Yuan in the middle stood up.

Zhou Xun raised his head and looked at him.

Director Li, who was sitting in the first row, also turned his head and looked at him. Then, he was particularly surprised.

Wasn't this the boy who went through Principal He's connections?

What was going on again?

Everyone looked over.

He Meng next to him was even more puzzled, why was he standing up at this time...

Wouldn't it be better if they could get away with it?

"Teacher Zhou."

Under the public gaze, Chen Yuan frankly said, "The girl in the song 'All is Love' is not from our school, she is my friend."

"Ah?" Zhou Xun was dumbfounded, "Isn't she wearing our school uniform?"

"She is from another school." Chen Yuan continued.

After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything.

He would bear any consequences.

And the consequences came one after another.

"A student from another school, can that be considered our school's gala?"

"Why is there such a thing..."

"If this is allowed, wouldn't it be possible to call a lot of foreign aid over?"

"Moreover, doesn't their school have a New Year's Eve gala..."

The voices of doubt gradually increased.

When a villain is established, and is still in a weak position, people with related interests will swarm up.

After all, they didn't know their scores yet, maybe after a score was canceled, it would be extended to them.

"Ah, this..." Zhou Xun was stumped and looked at the two teachers in the audience.

The two teachers looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know what to do about this matter.

In the past, there were actually students from outside schools helping to perform.

But that was many years ago.

Moreover, no one had any objections at that time.

Or rather, everyone didn't know that there were students from outside schools.

How was Chen Yuan discovered?

He was clearly wearing a school uniform...

How was he discovered?

It must be because I am too famous.

Forget it.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

Since so many people are opposed to it, don't go against the trend.

Originally, this matter was just for entertainment, and he had never thought of taking any advantage. Greeting He Hongtao was also out of politeness.

In short, Chen Yuan was just doing something very normal.

That was to sign up for the New Year's Eve gala.

There would definitely be regrets, after all, they had practiced for so long.

But turning into a public enemy because of this was not a good choice.

"In that case..."

Zhou Xun only knew how to rehearse and wanted to make the stage effect good, and didn't care about this kind of thing, so he decided to persuade the person in ninth place.

Because the people who had opinions now were actually a bit far from advancing.

On the contrary, the ninth-place person, who was only one step away, did not participate in the discussion.

"@" everyone.

Just then, a girl suddenly stood up, holding a cell phone in her hand.

Then, everyone looked over and found that it was a beautiful girl with long hair...

The school was all ponytails and bobs, why was this person wearing her hair down?

Oh, Tang.

Chen Yuan turned his head and saw Tang Siwen on the stage, biting her lip, pausing briefly, and saying in a trembling voice, "Now announce that the New Year's Eve gala will be held on December 31st. According to the requirements, each class needs to submit two programs, one group, one individual or double, the deadline for registration is all day on December 22nd. For this event, programs are reported in the form of classes, requiring half or more of the members in the program to be from this class, high school seniors cannot participate in rehearsals. Audition day, next Thursday and Friday."

After Tang Siwen finished reading, everyone quickly reacted that this was a screenshot of the teacher in the Academic Affairs Office @ing everyone on Sunday.

Basically, every class had sent it.

So, everyone quickly clicked to view it.

And some belatedly discovered.

There were indeed regulations.

But there were no other regulations.

"It seems like it doesn't say that students from other schools can't be invited..."

"But this kind of thing needs to be explained?"

"But it really doesn't say it can't."

"Then since you can invite, can't you invite anyone..."

"Then you invite, no one is stopping you."

"What do you mean?"

"Everyone be quiet." Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel, Zhou Xun quickly interrupted, and then looked at the girl and the other groups of students who were making trouble on the scene, and after hesitating, said, "In that case, let's vote to decide..."

"Teacher."

This time, a student interrupted the teacher.

Everyone looked at Tang Siwen again.

Cheng Haiying was even more surprised to see this girl who had always been taciturn, with few expressions, always talking one-on-one, and as quiet as a doll, was surprised by the other party's behavior.

It could be heard that her voice was trembling, and her tone had changed, like a broken sound.

She was scared.

Tang Siwen, she was not aloof.

She just liked to be alone.

When others were joking and laughing, she just quietly observed.

So at this moment, she completely exposed and overturned her personality.

Everyone knew that she was not an arrogant flower on a high mountain, she would show suspicion and disgust for unwanted confessions, and she would not use her beauty and excellent grades to be above the social disdain chain.

She was just a little timid, a little insensitive.

Tang Siwen was very afraid of being in a situation where so many people were waiting for her to speak, she had never experienced it before.

Answering questions in class was different.

Because there were definite answers.

But at this moment, her answer was not certain.

However, when Chen Yuan looked at her.

She slowly became certain again.

Although I am very stupid, but this is obviously...

It must be liking.

"What?" Zhou Xun looked at Tang Siwen and asked.

Tang Siwen put down her cell phone, raised her head, and said, "Since there was no regulation saying that students from other schools cannot participate, then why does Chen Yuan's program need us to vote?"

She asked very sincerely.

And with this question, everyone who wanted to find fault fell silent.

The reason they were making trouble was that it did not comply with the regulations, but the situation now was that there was no such regulation.

"Teacher Zhou." At this time, Director Li招了招手 *zhao le zhao shou* (beckoned), whispered to Zhou Xun, and said, "For things that fully comply with the regulations, there is no need to vote again. The most important thing about a gala is quality, is liveliness."

This was the principal's meaning, so it became Director Li's meaning.

Zhou Xun looked at Chen Yuan, and then at the girl, and finally decided—to approve it and no longer discuss it.

After it was over, some individual students found Zhou Xun.

And Zhou Xun, after telling the other party their ranking and saying that the ninth-place student had no objection, the other party no longer said anything.

Then, the students returned to their classes one after another.

Among them, Chen Yuan was called to stay by Zhou Xun and left alone in the auditorium.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Don't be nervous, it has nothing to do with that."

Zhou Xun didn't care whether they were students from No. 11 High School or not, he waved his hand, and then said with a smile, "I plan to put your program first to warm up the atmosphere."

"Okay."

"There is a problem when the two of you are singing, can you change it?"

"What's the problem?" Chen Yuan asked in confusion.

Looking at him, Zhou Xun said very seriously: "You two sing very well, but can the atmosphere be a little more ambiguous?"

"Ah?" Chen Yuan was stunned.

Then he looked aside, afraid of eavesdropping.

Ah?!

"Are you two a couple?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Ah...pure friendship, good friends." Chen Yuan stammered.

"Then do you like her?" Zhou Xun asked again.

No, you are a teacher!

Oh right, you are a music teacher.

Damn it, do we have music classes in our school?!

In short,

Taking advantage of the fact that you are a副课 *fu ke* (non-major) teacher who doesn't participate in the college entrance examination, are you talking nonsense here?

Chen Yuan lowered his head, covered his face with one hand, and said: "Like."

"Does she like you?"

"...Should like."

"Then why aren't you a couple?"

"Pure, pure friendship." Chen Yuan explained.

"Okay."

After asking about the situation, Zhou Xun began to teach: "When you sing, you don't need too much interaction, your stage presence is very good, but I don't need your stage presence to be good. Just hold the microphone and sing, occasionally look at each other. Also, tell that girl to act a little more restrained, it would be best if she can blush, when everyone cheers or sings along, she should give that kind of embarrassed but also a little smug smile looking at you. When you sing to the end, after everyone gets excited, put on a posture that since it is a gala, the teacher has no reason to criticize you for letting go, when you take a bow, stand close to the girl, shoulder to shoulder..."

"..."

After listening to these words, Chen Yuan was greatly shocked.

Originally, only the lyrics were ambiguous.

Now the behavior is ambiguous, and even deliberately炒cp *chao CP* (creating a couple image).

Many years later, when the two of them returned to school, the leaders who remembered this would say: Yo, aren't these the two little phoenixes?

"Understand?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Hiss..." Chen Yuan nodded and said, "I'll understand it again, and then tell her."

"Remember, it must be natural, don't have any acting skills." Zhou Xun seriously instructed, "The tone of the New Year's Eve gala depends on you two. If you do my event well, I'll buy you both milk tea."

"Teacher, I understand."

Chen Yuan gave an okay gesture.

"Okay, then go."

"Yes."

In this way, Chen Yuan walked out of the auditorium with a slightly subtle feeling.

Did Zhou Xun mean that we are not youthful enough?

Indeed, it is a bit like an old married couple.

What can be done?

We have reached the relationship of eating little豆豆 *dou dou* (beans), how can we still be youthful?

But this bastard, he's pretty good at creating program effects, knowing that doing this can炒cp *chao CP* (create a couple image) even more.

Thinking this way, Chen Yuan took out his cell phone.

Then he found that Tao Tao, this bastard, was even better at creating program effects.

Damn it, he made Yu Zi wear our school uniform to perform?

Doesn't he know "One person, one city"?

Doesn't he know loyalty?

Doesn't he know that Yu Zi is still the recruiting propaganda heroine of No. 4 High School?

Damn it.

Chen Yuan instantly understood.

It was unlikely that this matter would be known to Jianjun Jiang.

But if Jianjun Jiang knew, he could definitely disgust him!

How come this No. 11 Sect is like a demonic sect, there is no serious person from top to bottom!

"Chen Yuan."

When he was leaving the auditorium, Tang Siwen, who had been waiting, called him.

Chen Yuan stopped and said with particular gratitude after seeing her: "God Tang, thank you so much, you are so good, if it weren't for you just now..."

Looking at Chen Yuan, Tang Siwen suddenly interrupted: "Siwen."

"Huh?" Chen Yuan was puzzled.

Tang Siwen lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers, and said, "I am Tang Siwen, you can...call me Siwen."

"Yeah, Siwen." Chen Yuan smiled brightly and said generously, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Then let's go?"

"Yeah, okay."

In this way, the two walked from the auditorium towards the teaching building.

At this time, it was lunch break, and the students who had passed the audition had already gone to their classes.

So the playground was empty.

When the two were walking naturally, Chen Yuan suddenly heard a soft singing voice.

The melody was gentle, slightly out of tune, but harmless.

"Anything is okay, whatever you say, I am willing to go, little train, swinging rhythm..."

Stopping, Chen Yuan turned his head, and Tang Siwen also turned her head.

She looked at him.

She made a smile as bright as sunlight shining through the clouds.

She was so generous for the first time.

Even the corners of her eyes were smiling.

Then, in the most un-Tang Siwen tone, she explained her mood: "Hee hee, I can sing okay, right?"
