Chapter 18 Shining Brother

"Yo, Shining Brother."

Chen Yuan was entering the school, heading to class, when he suddenly heard this.

Curious, he looked towards the source of the sound and saw several students from his class.

The person called 'Shining Brother' was lowering his head, pretending to be deaf, deliberately ignoring them.

So Chen Yuan also called out, "Yo, Shining Brother."

"Damn it, you don't even know what it means, why are you shouting?!"

Tang Jian immediately lost it and yelled at Chen Yuan.

"Then I guess, did Teacher Tang Jian say it?" Chen Yuan guessed again.

"Alright, I'll change your seat later."

Why did Chen Yuan, a day student, know about what happened last night? And the person who told him was another day student, a girl named Zhou Fu?

No one has ever really seen me serious like this.

Then, he saw a message from Tang Jian.

His cheeks flushed red.

For him, creating a game that moved many during his student days was his ideal.

The amount of information in this sentence was a bit exaggerated.

"It's okay, I can decide this."

"Were you chatting with Xingguang-ge there?"

At that moment, the dormitory auntie opened the door for a glance and then left.

"I'm not a music teacher, I don't know." Lao Mo said, then added, "But it's good. When you play the piano, you completely change. That was the first time I saw you so serious, completely different from your attitude when studying math."

As for the delicate voice...

"Don't say such disgusting things with Chen Yuan's face," Tang Jian reminded him.

Tang Jian: I proactively handed in my phone, so I might not be able to contact you for a long time.

"Ehehe, thank you for the compliment, Teacher..."

"Are we filming anime here? What are you babbling about? Speak like a human," Chen Yuan demanded.

"..." Lao Mo paused for a moment, then looked at him, "What's the matter? Just say it."

"One more thing."

"What's up? Did you get confessed to? You're smiling like that."

Just as he thought.

This also showed that little Tang was really going to get serious.

Just like that, Tang Jian bowed to Lao Mo again and then left the classroom.

Could it be that this is how everyone's improving lately?

Or is my teaching method outdated?

"Goodbye, Teacher."

After Liu Yan said this, he went to the school cafeteria.

Yin Yu smiled and shook her head.

His hope for Tang Jian was that he could improve to 550 from now until graduation.

"Teacher, I haven't even said what it is yet..."

Then, several roommates, like Spider-Man, grabbed the railings of the bunk beds, lowered their heads, and started to eavesdrop.

Tang Jian, after typing two paragraphs, directly handed his phone to Lao Mo: "Please keep it for me until the training."

"Teacher," Tang Jian said after hesitating, "I want to pursue art."

"...It's not that exaggerated." Lao Mo scratched his chin awkwardly and then said, "In that case, it might cost a lot of money."

A glimmer of hope gradually appeared in Tang Jian's eyes.

Lao Mo raised his hand, interrupted him, then calculated and said, "You have three months after the training camp. And you have two months before the training camp. That is, in these five months, you have to overcome forgetting and get 550 points. This is basically impossible."

Am I being presumptuous to set such a goal?

"I..."

"..." Hearing this, Lao Mo's eyes widened.

Because in the teacher's eyes, he was also that kind of unserious student.

Lao Mo took the phone: "Then I'll put it in my drawer..."

The roommates also dragged their tired bodies to bed one by one, like dead dogs, and started sleeping face down.

"Well..." Liu Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Their romance feels so natural, there's no hook. Unlike you, Tang Jian, with Xiao Tang Tongxue this and *chong chong chong* that, and what shining so purely."

"I can try!" Tang Jian said seriously.

"There are surveillance cameras at school, it's not that easy to lose."

Lao Mo thought of a way and suggested, "If you don't fall behind in your courses during the training camp and keep studying academics, there's still a little hope. But doing so will affect the effectiveness of the training camp, and it's very likely that the joint exams and school exams won't go well."

Then, he took out his phone.

"Haha, I was just joking." Tang Jian suddenly said, "If I go into music, I'll be grateful if I can pass 500 on the academic tests."

"Pursue art, fine arts?" Lao Mo asked with surprise.

"*Diao diao diao diao*!" Liu Yan was so frightened that he immediately applauded.

What?

"I'm pursuing music because I want to go to that school," Tang Jian replied.

Then, he opened QQ.

"But you have to know, even if you study music and your joint exam or school exam scores are very good, your academic score must be at least 550. And right now, you're very far from 550 points, and that's after deducting half a year of training..." Lao Mo didn't think this was an easy thing to accomplish.

"Indeed, that's definitely my problem," Tang Jian nodded.

"I'm out of here!"

"But you can't get into Haidong University."

Wednesday, after evening self-study, 10:30 PM.

Just...

Of course, giving up was absolutely impossible.

Moreover, the real reason why many people study art is to have the opportunity to go to a bachelor's degree, to have the opportunity to go to a top-tier university.

"No matter what, it's never too late to start now. Of course, that also includes what you said," Lao Mo said calmly.

After she left, Yin Yu quickly took out her phone from under the pillow.

Tang Jian, who has always been very abstract and a *lezi ren* (someone who is happy-go-lucky and finds everything amusing), still had some concerns.

"You want to go to the same school as Wu Tang Teacher, right?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Then I'll go to the training camp in June?" Tang Jian asked.

"Teacher, I really will... Eh, you agreed?"

It would take him a long time to digest this.

"Why sleep so much during life, you'll sleep long enough after death."

Facing Chen Yuan, who had also experienced this kind of thing, Tang Jian didn't hide it and said directly, "I just don't want a long-distance relationship."

A long sigh of relief, she couldn't wait to fall asleep.

The students in the class seemed to be more concerned about his long-distance relationship with Wu Tang Teacher.

So, Chen Yuan asked curiously, "Then now, do you have any inspiration and want to continue making your game?"

"Nonsense, how could I have guessed? Zhou Fu told me," Chen Yuan said.

Yin Yu returned to the dormitory building, got some hot water, and returned to the dormitory, sitting on the bed.

After all, this was an excellent path for him to achieve something extraordinary.

"Damn!" Liu Yan was completely overwhelmed by Chen Yuan's reasoning ability, his eyes filled with shock as if saying, 'This guy is a monster.'

"?!" Lao Mo was stunned when he saw the phone he took out.

The school's teachers had already started preparing for the exam preparation courses and wouldn't stop for him and turn around to help him fix everything.

"But I want to remind you," Lao Mo said seriously, "Your grades are currently hovering around a public second-tier university. If you work hard from now on, you have a chance to pass the first-tier line and strive for Xia Hai University of Science and Technology."

The more discouraged you get, the more hopeless you feel.

After the other party proposed a solution, his tone suddenly became firm in order to express this determination.

"That's possible." If that was the case, Tang Jian could be relieved.

"Yes."

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Did this mean that everyone in the world already knew!

Tang Jian's silence made Lao Mo see something was up.

Lao Mo could see that this student was really determined.

After hesitating for a while, he walked to the door: "Teacher Mo."

Then, he held up his phone high, looking at this sentence, and had never been so happy.

"..."

"Speak, I permit it," Chen Yuan said.

So, the me who is eager to change now, after changing, if I fail...

"Indeed, your romance is very clever, it has a sense of art." Chen Yuan also thought so.

So, Tang Jian walked over. Looking at Lao Mo, this usually very serious but definitely very responsible teacher, he hesitated for a long time and lowered his head: "Ah, never mind."

"But reviewing academics during the training camp will leave you with only a tiny bit of rest time."

My persona is actually a comedic one.

Tang Jian complained faintly.

I knew it...

"If you say 'Shining Brother'..." Chen Yuan continued brainstorming and then said, "I wish I was a star and you were the moon, shining brightly on each other every night. Should it be this poem?"

Tang Jian: But Tang Bao, no matter what, I want to go to the same school as you. I want to see you every day, hold your hand, go to the cafeteria together, attend public classes together, and walk on the playground together. I really, really, really like you!

This encouragement came at just the right time.

Last night, or rather, these days, after starting to study, he found that the more he learned, the more ignorant he became.

But his ambition was a bit too big.

"He even started making toxic chicken soup!"

"Go for it, brother."

That girl who was pulled on stage by Tang Jian at the party that day, was she from Chang Jun?

"Don't know, don't know, don't know."

Lao Mo was putting things away when he saw Tang Jian and said, "What's the matter? Come in and talk."

Then, only Chen Yuan and Tang Jian were left.

"Let me guess."

After mixing the hot water in the basin, he took off his shoes and a pair of white socks, and put his feet in.

"Ah..."

"But Lao Mo doesn't trust me." Tang Jian was a bit pessimistic when he said this, "You also know that as soon as he changes the seats, he treats me like a brick and moves me around everywhere."

Do I have to be abstract to not be disgusting?

Looking at the phone screen, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up into a smile.

So the question was, should she take such a risky move?

Then, he appeared outside Lao Mo's math grade group office.

Everyone has some unusual ambitions.

Tang Jian sat down opposite him just like that.

"Then why don't you switch seats with the Genshin-ge next to Zhou Yu?" Chen Yuan said.

"Holy crap, awesome." Liu Yan showed a surprised expression, and his respect for Chen Yuan increased even more.

In the entire No. 11 High School, there were only a few dozen students who were admitted to Haidong University.

Tang Jian was doing this purely to achieve that distant and outrageous goal—Haidong University.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if it gets lost."

"Possible."

Just like that, Tang Jian made a decision.

"Do you think I have any hope in studying music?"

Tang Jian: "..."

"Yes," Chen Yuan said, "After all, you are son and daughter-in-law. We can't just sit by and do nothing."

"..." Tang Jian thought for a while and shook his head, "There are more important things than games."

"Alright, alright." Tang Jian also stood up and interrupted, "It's nothing important, you don't need to know."

Lao Mo then remembered that Tang Jian's father was the director of the Personnel Department of the Xia Hai Education Bureau.

He had always played this kind of role.

They were more simple, the ambiguity was natural, they were together naturally, and then they started making out...

"Thank you."

After saying everything in advance, Tang Jian was finally able to open his mouth: "Recently Jiao Yu... He Si Jiao and Zhou Yu, they are all studying very hard. I want to switch to the seat next to Zhou Yu and study with them. That way, I can also swipe Chen Yuan's notes."

"I don't know, but I feel like it's a meme that can break you down," Chen Yuan said.

"Then it's not too late to work hard from now on."

"I ate breakfast and left first."

"Oh, I've seen it," Lao Mo remembered, "It's the program you and Chen Yuan won first place in at the party on the research day, right?"

"Oh, then it's okay."

"Hey, so stingy."

Chen Yuan pretended to think, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Is it related to Wu Tang Teacher? Then, this is a meme that was born in your voice chats."

It was really too tiring.

As long as the other party was determined, Lao Mo was willing to believe in every student.

"If you come, you can be the eldest son," Chen Yuan said.

"Why are you focusing on me when Zhou Yu and He Si Jiao's relationship has more content?" Tang Jian was very puzzled.

Just like the girl who delivered food to Chen Yuan was from Fourth High School.

"...Is this the price?" Tang Jian hesitated.

"Wait a minute."

Wasn't that extremely clownish?

After feeling a little relaxed, he slowly raised his head, looked at Lao Mo, and asked, "Is it too late to start now?"

………

"Speaking of encouragement, I really have something to ask you, brother." Tang Jian looked at Chen Yuan and said seriously.

Someone who has always been very casual and natural is now saying that he wants to work hard. Wouldn't the teacher not believe him, and even think that he just wants to find a place to gossip...

"Isn't it because you can gossip with others wherever you go."

"Grades don't lie."

The benefit of being a comedic character is that no one will expect him to become a very powerful person.

"Music," Tang Jian explained, "I used to play the piano all the time."

"Is this praising you?"

"Sit down and talk." Lao Mo twisted open his thermos, took a sip of water, and then turned to face Tang Jian.

Can't I be a serious person?

"Ehehe, it's like this..." At this time, Liu Yan came over, put his hand on Chen Yuan's shoulder, and whispered to him with a smile, "Last night, *jibber jabber jibber jabber*..."

So the more he learned, the more discouraged Tang Jian became.

"But."

"Then I'll go talk to Lao Mo," Tang Jian fell into deep thought.

Because his talent was just that of an ordinary person.

Tang Jian bowed deeply to Lao Mo.

"Isn't this encouraging you?"

"Yeah, the teacher believes in you."

"You, how do you know so much?!" Tang Jian asked with a flushed face.

And this determination, he probably knew where it came from.

And she quickly put her phone to her chest, avoiding these strategists.

Without thinking, Lao Mo said directly: "It's not too late."

Lao Mo, on the other hand, smiled and sighed to himself: "Could it be that Class 18 can produce many famous schools?"

At this time, Chen Yuan looked at Tang Jian with the attitude of someone who had been there, and said very seriously: "Xingguang (Starlight) will not let down those who hurry, Xiao Tang Tongxue *chong chong chong* (rush rush rush)."

This was the power of first love.

"This isn't you being stubborn, it's a bit strange..."

"Teacher..." Tang Jian bit his lip lightly and asked with some difficulty, "Do you believe in me?"

In this case, his family conditions must not be bad.

Damn, how could these boys have such big mouths!!

"It's okay, brother, everyone is sincerely happy for you." Chen Yuan put his hand on Tang Jian's shoulder and said with a smile.

Then, he leaned back and lay on the bed.

He probably wanted to get some of Yuan's high-quality tutoring classes, so he asked this question.

So, she also typed a line:

WuTangNasaki: Xiao Tang Tongxue, after we meet, I want to hug and kiss you~
