158: Is “Can’t Learn” a song like “Forget about exams and homework”?

Meanwhile, in the backstage waiting area.

Chen Fang turned off the system's voice prompts to avoid being disturbed while singing later.

Today, he had all the right conditions: timing, location, and people.

This song speaks of helplessness, regret, and struggle in love, and its quality is very high.

And what he is best at right now are songs that tear at the heart and strike the soul.

It's almost nine o'clock now, and people's emotions are richer in the evening; many might end up with teary eyes when they hear it later.

As he thought of this, the clear drumbeats and strong rhythm of the music on the stage ahead ended. Chen Fang walked to the side of the entrance and saw Xie Yunxuan bowing to the audience. At the same time, He Xing smilingly took the stage.

After Xie Yunxuan said a few words to the audience, he walked off the stage and sat directly in the Team One section of the second row.

He crossed his legs, a slight smile playing on his lips.

His performance just now was perfect. Although Teacher Yue and their music were good, most young female viewers would definitely be attracted by his handsome and elegant dancing.

In terms of attracting fans, he was definitely number one today.

The more Xie Yunxuan thought about it, the more pleased he felt. As he grew pleased, he couldn't help but feel the urge to share his grand plan after getting the task card.

He would make Chen Fang work, and Bai Wenbin too, doing the dirty work. If Bai Wenbin hadn't been so picky the day before yesterday, he definitely would have taken first place.

He glanced left and right.

On his left, Liang Yan, with a head of brown curly hair, was expressionlessly looking at the stage. He was clearly a bit unhappy, so forget it, bragging to him would just make him jealous.

On his right, Yue Qingzhu sat elegantly, wearing a blue and white school uniform because her last stage performance was a youth campus musical.

Her long, soft, black hair was tied up high into a fluffy bun, with a few stray strands casually falling by her ears. Her features were exquisitely striking, her eyes large and as lively as water, her eyelashes thick and curled, casting a small shadow beneath her eyelids, her nose bridge high, and her lips a vibrant red.

Because she was wearing a school uniform, she seemed less unapproachable and more serene.

She looked so beautiful today.

But he didn't dare admire her too much. It was a live broadcast now; one wrong look, and he would be hit by a storm tonight.

But then again, although Teacher Yue looked aloof, she had so much fun with Chen Fang the day before yesterday, and even acted a bit mischievous, which means Teacher Yue is also someone who likes pranks, right?

And she even initiated a conversation with him yesterday.

Thinking of this, Xie Yunxuan decided that he could share his plan with her to satisfy his urge to share, which arose from his impending victory.

Xie Yunxuan crossed his arms, turned slightly, and said with a smile, "Teacher Yue, we're definitely going to get the winning team's task card today. Tomorrow we'll have half a day to stay in the villa. I plan to havenoob and Brother Chen clean the two boys' bedroom bathrooms. Hehe, we'll have some fun to watch."

Yue Qingzhu frowned slightly.

Would the production team give out such cards? This kind of place should be cleaned by the users together.

Yue Qingzhu said indifferently, "Don't open the champagne halfway. Stay calm and talk after it's over."

Xie Yunxuan slightly raised his chin, "Our three performances are far ahead. Chen Fang can't dance, so how could he possibly overtake us?"

"I don't make judgments about things that haven't happened yet," Yue Qingzhu said, looking at the stage.

Xie Yunxuan did remind her; they would indeed have half a day at the villa tomorrow.

Hopefully, someone will make Chen Fang clean the yard, right? Cleaning the yard is more interesting, and then she'll find someone to give her a task to clean the yard too.

This way, she could... see how he gets inspiration. This is all for finding inspiration for lyrics and composition.

Just as she thought of this, on stage, after He Xing finished his transitional remarks, Chen Fang had already briefly interacted with the audience.

"Next, let's invite Teacher Chen to bring us his performance," He Xing tore open the envelope, pretending to have just learned about the program, and said with a surprised look, "Teacher Chen is bringing us a song called 'cant learn.' Let's give him a round of applause."

After speaking, He Xing smiled at the camera and quickly walked off the stage.

[What?! 'cant learn'?!]

[Is it a song like 'Exams and Homework Go Away'?]

[Makes sense, it should be an impromptu rap complaining about math, right?]

[No, buddy, that's too much. Didn't they say today that instead of being anxious about school starting, it's better to laugh first?]

[It's okay, school just started. The so-called university is where you only study when disaster strikes, no hurry, no hurry.]

[Sigh, some people review like Confucius, learning new things by reviewing old; some people review like Nuwa mending the sky; I review like Columbus discovering a new continent.]

[Does 'learning new things by reviewing old' mean reviewing old knowledge and discovering it's all new?]

[Is this helping graduates relive their student days?]

[Yes, it should be helping graduates. He's wearing a casual shirt, not a school uniform, so it should be from a graduate's perspective, right?]

[Babe, why are you wearing a wig? Dare to take it off (◐ ヮ ◐ ใ)]

In the bullet chat area, viewers quickly analyzed whether this was meant to break them or to complain about school with them.

In front of the camera, Chen Fang, wearing a loose gray shirt, sat down at the piano, his hands resting on the keys.

Below the stage, Yue Qingzhu looked at him.

Chen Fang, sitting at the piano, had a few strands of hair lazily falling across his forehead, glowing softly under the stage's overhead light. His brow bones were deep, and his nose bridge was high.

He looks like a prince from an anime.

Wait a minute, what was she thinking?

Yue Qingzhu took a deep breath.

Uh, admiration, purely admiration.

But she had seen many good-looking male stars play the piano, so why did her heart feel a bit fast at this moment?

Could it be...

It shouldn't be, it should be because of watching anime. She shouldn't have watched anime while eating yesterday! No watching anime before or during variety shows from now on!

On the other side, the two girls from Team Two looked at him with relative calm.

Firstly, they had been debuted for a long time and were somewhat numb to seeing handsome men.

Secondly, both of them were full of thoughts about the hard days of being exploited tomorrow. They had given up hope and were ready to accept the production team's judgment and become laborers.

Just then, the accompaniment started playing through the speakers, and Chen Fang gently pressed the piano keys.

A clear, full piano sound flowed out, accompanied by strings and ethereal female humming in the accompaniment, instantly silencing the entire theater, making the atmosphere lonely and melancholic.

Xie Yunxuan's excited flame was instantly extinguished. What was this? A truly new song?

Beside him, the three members of Team Two also stared blankly at the stage.

Shen Wantang's eyes lit up, but then she was pulled back into the sad atmosphere by the music.

The notes fell like cold raindrops, making her feel as if she were sitting alone by the window, with rain sliding down the glass. A restrained sadness permeated her heart.

Yue Qingzhu's mouth was slightly agape.

Another new song?! Why is he so prolific? So amazing!

Before she could think further, Chen Fang's intake of breath could be heard—

"Your pain, my heartache, I want to solve it for you."

"Pushing away rumors, holding your hand tightly, wanting to rush forward."

Chen Fang's voice was slightly hoarse, gentle like a whisper, yet revealing a suppressed pain.

It was filled with a feeling of wanting to love but being powerless.

Yue Qingzhu looked at Chen Fang's tender expression, her slightly upturned lips stiffening a little.

A sour feeling quickly spread through her chest, and her hands, resting on her knees, clenched her pants.

Pushing away rumors, holding your hand tightly, wanting to rush forward?

He... what was he singing about?

Does he... does he already have someone he likes? Or rather, does he already have a girlfriend?

PS: Don't be afraid, it's not sad, this song doesn't cause misunderstandings, it will be clarified after he finishes singing.
