Chapter 58: The Initial Idea for the Party Program

  "So you're saying that if I really want to develop in the literary circle, I should become an AV actor? Shouldn't I also go to R country specifically for development?" Chen Chufan said with a bad tone.

  Yang Tao raised his head and glanced at Chen Chufan, with no impurities in his eyes, only sacredness.

  "Of course, there are more than one choice, you can be a comedian or a singer, but with your capital, being an AV actor is also not a bad choice, it's worth considering! As for whether to go to R country to develop, that depends on your own thoughts. However, the AV industry in R country is relatively developed, it's a good place to stand out!" Yang Tao replied very naturally.

  "Get out!" Chen Chufan finally exploded, but unfortunately he was already lying in bed. Otherwise, he would have definitely beaten Yang Tao violently. He vowed in his heart that if he were not in bed, he would have done so!

  "What a good-hearted advice, and yet you treated it like that. Alas, the dog bites Lu Dongbin! Yang Tao shook his head, let out a long sigh, as if he had been misunderstood with good intentions and was deeply hurt. After finishing speaking, he took the washbasin and towel and slipped into the bathroom to prepare for his evening wash."

  "Actually, Lao Er makes some sense!" After seeing Yang Tao leave, Chen Chufan still had a constipated expression, and Meng Wei spoke to comfort him. Perhaps it was because under Yang Tao's guidance, his girlfriend now had hope, and Meng Wei even surprisingly acknowledged the reason in Yang Tao's words.

  "Of course, I mean, aside from his AV theory, the rest of what he said makes sense! Actually, I think it's great that you can play multiple instruments and sing, being a singer would be pretty good too!" Meng Wei hastily added, seeing Chen Chufan looking at him with a hint of resentment.

  "Oh!" Chen Chufan responded with a sound, then seemed to be thinking deeply.

  As for how he would develop in the future, it was temporarily not worth considering. But Chen Chufan remembered that Han Xiaoxi had once said that her ideal was to be a singer, but her family members were unanimously opposed. So if at the evening party, he could write a song and sing it himself, wouldn't that be a good choice? She should like it, right? Singing, Chen Chufan still had some confidence in himself. His voice was originally not bad, and occasionally accompanying Yang Tao to KTV a few times, he received quite good reviews. However, writing songs was a bit more difficult, as he had never done it before. If he casually chose a popular song, it seemed too perfunctory.

  Thinking of this, he began to ask: "Let's not talk about the future, that's too far away! Just say now, what do you think if I write a song myself and then sing it at the party?"

  "That's okay, not bad!" Meng Wei nodded in agreement, showing his support.

  "That's still monotonous, and it doesn't reflect the characteristics of our history department!" Yang Tao, who had just come out of the restroom, heard Chen Chufan's question and expressed his opinion again.

  "Oh? What do you mean?" Chen Chufan looked at Yang Tao, he was prepared, if Yang Tao came up with another absurd opinion or teased him again, he would definitely get out of bed and fight with Yang Tao.

  "If you can write a song yourself, it's great to play and sing it by yourself, but why not broaden your thinking? For example, writing a popular song with historical themes, not only should you play and sing it yourself, but there should also be people performing on stage, of course, you don't need to do complex dance moves, just follow the lyrics' historical story, set up some corresponding scenes, have the performers make some simple movements, and bring out the whole story, isn't that much richer in content than just singing alone?" This time Yang Tao's suggestion is really quite reasonable and worth adopting.

  "If that's what you mean, then the song should also have an ancient style to show off its historical lineage!" Chen Chufan continued along Yang Tao's line of thought.

  "That's right, that's the idea. Just like singing a song of Yue Fei's Man Jiang Hong, let the boss fight beside you, holding a Guan Gong knife and waving it around, then sighing to the sky, how domineering!" Yang Tao said with a shake of his head.

  "Hmm, your opinion is quite reasonable and worth considering! I'm saying, Second Brother, you've finally shown some integrity for once!" Chen Chufan nodded in agreement, indicating that he accepted Yang Tao's opinion, and even praised him. Of course, Yang Tao would not accept such praise from Chen Chufan.

  "Let me ask you, brother, when have I not given my honest opinion? When have I not made a suggestion with good intentions? And when have I ever been indecent?! Take today's dinner gathering for example, wasn't your idea correct?! It's just that you didn't execute it well, okay?! Yang Tao was extremely dissatisfied, and the topic turned out to be another dinner gathering like today that had embarrassed Chen Chufan for an entire evening."

  "Sleep, sleep! The lights will be turned off soon! No more discussion." Chen Chufan directly surrendered and let Yang Tao continue to drag him away. It was truly a sleepless night. However, lying in bed, Chen Chufan was indeed deeply moved by Yang Tao's proposal.

  The next morning, Chen Chufan called Han Xiaoxi as soon as he got up. Although he had already explained to Ye Siying yesterday, Chen Chufan still decided to follow Xiao Ge's suggestion and make a phone call to clarify things.

  The phone rang for a long time before someone answered, and then it was just a string of complaints.

  "Who is it? Don't you have any sense of public morality? Calling so early in the morning? Don't you know we don't have class in the morning and are taking a collective nap?" As soon as the phone was answered, Xiaomei's complaints came pouring out from the other end.

  "Hey? Little Mei, it's me, Chen Chufan. Sorry about this, I didn't mean to disturb your sleep. Can you help me get Han Xiaoxi on the phone?" Chen Chufan said with some embarrassment, he really hadn't expected that at this hour a group of young girls would still be sleeping in.

  "Oh, so it's the legendary hero who saves the beauty! You wait!" Xiaomei teased and hung up the phone. Chen Chufan faintly heard Xiaomei shouting: "Xiaoxi, your family's livestock is specially calling to ask for peace."

  "Hello, which one?" A moment later, Han Xiaoxi on the other end of the phone asked knowingly.

  "What? Don't mess with me, Xiao Xi! You still don't know it's me!" Chen Chufan said, laughing and crying at the same time.

  "You don't say, how am I supposed to know which team you're on?! Is your voice particularly distinctive?! Hurry up and sign up already, or else I'll hang up the phone!" Han Xiaoxi said bluntly.

  "It's me, Chen Chufan! Alright, alright! Xixi, you're not still angry, are you? Didn't I explain everything to Sisi yesterday?" Chen Chufan said with a mixture of laughter and tears.

  Han Xiaoxi ignored Chen Chufan's words and continued to mock him, saying: "Oh, I thought it was someone else! It turns out it's Chen Chufan, the great hero Chen! Why aren't you rushing out to be a hero and help those in need? What are you doing calling me, a little girl?"

  "Alright, Xiaoxi, I admit I was wrong. Can you forgive me now?" Chen Chufan said helplessly.

  "Admit your mistake? Then you first tell me what's wrong with you?" Han Xiao Xi asked with interest.

  "What did I do wrong?" Chen Chufan was taken aback by Han Xiaoxi's question, and he really hadn't thought about this issue before. How should he answer? Should he say that he shouldn't have intervened to save someone? Wouldn't that make him seem too cold-blooded? Or should he say that he shouldn't have arranged for the two dormitories to eat together? Wouldn't that make it seem like he had a guilty conscience? Damn, how was he supposed to answer this?! Chen Chufan was so torn, and he really wished that Yang Tao could possess his body at this moment.

  "What? Are you not admitting your mistake? The person who made the mistake doesn't even know what's wrong, and they still don't admit it!" Han Xiaohui waited for half a day without getting Chen Chufan's response, and couldn't help but get annoyed again.

  "My mistake was that I made Young Master Han Xiaohei angry, this is my biggest mistake!" Chen Chufan, who was forced into a corner and had no way out, quickly thought of using nonsense to muddle through.

  "You've learned from Yang Tao and can now deceive people! Not bad!" Han Xiaohei commented indifferently, but her tone was softer.

  "I'm really not kidding, I'm truly sorry!" Chen Chufan emphasized.

  "Alright, I'll forgive you this time since you seem sincere. However, you still need to think carefully about where you went wrong! Otherwise, if you make the same mistake again next time, I won't let you off so easily. Not just me, but Xixi won't either!" Although Han Xiaohui's tone was somewhat fierce, the content made Chen Chufan breathe a sigh of relief.

  "What exactly did I do wrong, Xiaohui? Remind me next time so I won't make similar mistakes again!" The alarm was lifted, and Chen Chufan also relaxed, continuing to ask.

  "Don't ask me about this issue, go think for yourself! Do you have anything else? If not, I'm hanging up!" Han Xiao Xi said over the phone.

  "Wait, I still have something to ask Xixi, can you help me ask if she's free now? I want to go find Professor Wang with her!" Chen Chufan said hastily. He also had a reason for finding Professor Wang. Since he had made up his mind to write and perform a song at the school's anniversary party, he should take action immediately. With only a couple of months left before the school's 50th anniversary, every second counted.

  "Aren't you always avoiding Old Wang? Why did you suddenly think of going to see him today?" Han Xiaohui asked with some curiosity.

  "I want to work hard and study music, isn't that okay? Hurry up and ask for me!" Chen Chufan sold a pass.

  "Come on, just wait for me at the dormitory building downstairs, and XiXi will go down later!" Han Xiaohei's voice fell, and she hung up the phone decisively.

  Chen Chufan hastily tidied himself up and rushed to the girls' dormitory of the music department. He had already made arrangements with Yang Tao, if the teacher called roll, he would help him answer.

  "What made you think of going to find Professor Wang today, is there something urgent?" Ye Siying asked curiously as soon as she came down the stairs. She knew that Chen Chufan had been tortured by Professor Wang recently. Almost all of his spare time during the day was taken up by Professor Wang. Not only did he have to learn various basic music theories, but also cultivate his musical sense, and of course, the dry piano practice was also indispensable. Ye Siying felt that Professor Wang simply wanted Chen Chufan to master their entire year's worth of learning content within a month, and it was all for the most boring part.

  So it's no wonder that she found Chen Chufan's usual avoidance of Professor Wang to be normal. But today, the sun really did rise from the west, and Chen Chufan actually took the initiative to go find Professor Wang to suffer. It really made Ye Siying feel very strange.
