212 Resolving one matter
“I’m not that of a vocalist, “Han Zixin muttered. He could sing but he couldn’t sing that well.
“We are looking for a guitarist and vocalist too. Why don’t you apply? If you joined the music classes and won any contest, you can enter University through music quota, “The teacher threw the bait. She knew how to incite students like that. “My scores were not that good on the college entrance test but I got into the best music college in the country because of talent. Why don’t you try?”
Han Zixin blinked his eyes. He had been trying his best in sports because the sports quota was his only hope to get into college.
Although he liked physical sports, he didn’t like to play them for his career. But music…. It’s something he is incomplete without. He didn’t have the same confidence that he had years ago.
What should he do?
“How about you give me time to think about it?”Han Zixin asked. He didn’t know what to do at this moment. He would be wrong to say that he was not persuaded but he still needed time to think about it.
The teacher nodded her head.
The two students left soon after.
When An Xiulan and Han Zixin were leaving the music department, student President Chen Hao ran after the two of them.
“Han Zixin!” Chen Hao ran after the boy who had just took away his opportunity. It took him a lot of time and effort to get in the eyes of the music teacher.
Han Zixin turned his head to look at the senior lazily. “Senior, is there something you need from me?”
“Take back your name, ” Chen Hao said. “I want to be the guitarist of the group. I am asking you politely to take back your name.”
Han Zixin gave him a lazy smile and asked, “Why does the senior want to be the guitarist of the group with his measly talent so bad?”
Chen Hao was rendered speechless by the guts of the junior. He didn’t think that someone would call him bad on his face. He was the school president. He had some respect in the school. But this boy didn’t even think of giving him a face. His face turned red with anger and insult.
“Han Zixin, do not forget that I’m the school president. I have a say in lots of matters, ” Chen Hao said. “I will not accept your hooliganism. You can be a hooligan outside but it will not work on me.”
“Excuse me?” An Xiulan intervened. “Did you just call my best friend Hooligan? Did you forget how you, an underaged little boy, are chasing after the music teacher?”
“Do not speak nonsense, ” Chen Hao turned red once again.
“Then, does it mean you do not care about Miss Yang’s boyfriend?” Han Zixin cocked his brow.
“Miss Yang has a boyfriend?” Chen Hao asked, surprised.
“Yes!” An Xiulan said, confidently. “Han Zixin and I are going to report about the puppy love case to the teacher in charge. He will contact your parents and your parents will talk to you. I’m sure that you are not going to listen to us if we tried to make you understand how bad puppy love is. Worse, you like a teacher. You will only be thrown out of the school.”
“Let’s go, ” Han Zixin smiled and held her hand to leave her stunned school president behind.
Sometimes, they don’t have to use verbal ways to deal with a problem. Threats could work too. This was what they decided to do with the school president.
Chen Hao was scared. What if they really went to the principal? What would he do? He couldn’t get removed from the school. If his mother found out that Jingyuan High threw him out of the school for such indecent behaviours? What would he do? His future would be over. No school would take him in if he got eliminated by Jingyuan high for such reasons.
He ran after the two best friends and was ready to beg them if he had to save himself from the wrath of school and his parents.
Although he liked Yang Mei a lot, he was not ready to leave Jingyuan High. He could continue his love interest after school. But he couldn’t leave school to continue his love interest.
“Wait!” Chen Hao ran after them and pleaded, “You guys are misunderstanding. There is nothing like this. Miss Yang is a good teacher. I like music but I realised that music is not for me. I am going to my class. You don’t see me in the music department ever. Hell, if I even had any work I’m music department, I would send other volunteers here. I’m going to my class. I have some important lectures to end.”
When Chen Hao left, An Xiulan and Han Zixin looked at each other and high-fived.
“He is even dumber than us, ” An Xiulan laughed.
“I am not dumb, ” Han Zixin retorted.
“Fine, he is dumber than us, ” An Xiulan said this time. “He didn’t even bother to explain himself. What love? It’s just stupid and unnecessary feelings. He only liked the beautiful teacher and thought it was love.”
“Don’t give him more ideas, ” Han Zixin snorted. “What if he began his love game again? What will we do? We can’t even report him to the teacher without any valid proof.”
“You are right, ” An Xiulan said with a sigh. “Now that the matter is over, let’s go to class. We have a PE class to attend too.”
“Yeah, ” Han Zixin said. “I don’t like running daily.”
“But you need to be in a top position to get into college through sports quota, remember?” An Xiulan reminded him. “Students like us had to do double hard work to get into college. I wish we were intelligent like those top students.”
“Sometimes I am really envious of those students with photogenic memories, ” Han Zixin sighed as they were returning to their class. “Then, I remember Song Xueyun. She studies all day just to score a perfect number. Isn’t life too boring? I can only say that she is a workaholic in making.”
“I couldn’t agree more, ” An Xiulan replied. “To be very honest, she scares me too.”
Meanwhile in the class Eleven A, Lu Xuan was looking at the pamphlet of music classes that he had gotten once upon a time and it was kept in his bag without his knowledge. Seeing this pamphlet, he had an urge to join these classes.
He didn’t know why but he wanted to learn music too.
He noticed someone sitting next to him and then grabbing the pamphlet from his hand.
“Are you joining music classes?” Song Xueyun said with a frown. It was so unlike Lu Xuan but these days he had been surprising everyone with his changed temperament.
“Yeah, ” Lu Xuan ended up nodding.
“Why don’t we go to see a movie this evening? I don’t have any tuition classes today, ” Song Xueyun suggested. Her mother had a talk with her where she told her how she had been neglecting her health and her friends. She didn’t want to lose her friends, especially Lu Xuan, who was very special to her. She would lose herself if she lost Lu Xuan to someone else.
“Sorry, Xueyun. I really want to take demo music classes today, ” Lu Xuan said. He didn’t know why he had an urge to take music classes but since he had, he would just act on it.
“This Saturday?” Song Xueyun asked.
“Alright, ” Lu Xuan agreed. He didn’t recall anything urgent on Saturday and so he agreed with her plan. Little did he know that he would forget about the movie plan because he would get to spend time with the new music teacher who had been on his mind for a while.
“Okay, ” Song Xueyun smiled at him. “Do not forget about the plan!”
“Shouldn’t I be saying this?” Lu Xuan smirked. Last time, she got so immersed in her studies that she forgot about the plan that she made with her friends and so they had to go ahead without her.
“I will set several alarms, ” Song Xueyun smiled.
“Why are you setting alarms?” Gu Shangyan asked as he looked at both of them.
Song Xueyun smiled mysteriously. “It’s a secret. I can’t tell you.”
“Fine, ” Gu Shangyan responded with an exhausted sigh. When she left, he said to his stupid brother, “Can’t you see?”
“What?” Lu Xuan furrowed his brow and asked.
“How good she is to you?” Gu Shangyan said.
“She is my first friend. She will certainly be good to me, “Lu Xuan shrugged. “I think I’m good to her too.”
Gu Shangyan thought about the both of them and shook his head. He felt his head bursting in pain. All of his friends were so dense.
“You are attending music classes?” Gu Shangyan asked, surprised.
“I’m thinking about it, ” Lu Xuan replied.
“It’s a good stress buster just like how I read and draw to release stress, ” Gu Shangyan encouraged him.
Lu Xuan wrapped his arm around his neck and laughed. “You are my real big brother.”
“I’m your only big brother!”
