167: The mockery of "Can't Learn"

Chen Fang asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"No, I won't tell you."

"Forget it, maybe in a couple of days you won't be able to hold it in and will tell me." Chen Fang finished his multi-grain bun, got up, walked to the sink, and wet his plate with water.

Yue Qingzhu pursed her lips, "Can I ask one more question?"

"Ask away."

"Then did you ever get into a relationship later?"

"Just recently."

Yue Qingzhu was instantly stunned, staring blankly at him, "Huh?"

Chen Fang put away the clean plate, turned around, stretched out his arm, and rolled up his sleeve, "Thanks to the cold weather, I've started wearing two layers."

Yue Qingzhu narrowed her eyes, and kicked him, "Go to hell!"

"Then I'm going back to my coffin to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow, I'm so sleepy, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Yue Qingzhu stared at the closed door for a while, then got up and walked to the sink to wash her own plate, feeling a bit in disbelief.

He's teaching me how to pursue him, is this even allowed?

This should be a precise strike, right?

I'm a little happy.

If we could be together, how interesting would that be?

Yue Qingzhu's lips unconsciously curved upwards, feeling like there was a popping candy hidden in her mind, crackling open into sweet scenes one after another.

...

How bitter.

The next morning, Yue Qingzhu sat up with dark circles under her eyes.

She didn't sleep well all night, so tired.

Oh God, can she skip the step of applying theory?

From Chen Fang imparting knowledge, to her applying it to Chen Fang, to Chen Fang directly applying it to himself, could self-strategy work?

Just as she was staring blankly out the window, Zhao Jin's voice came from behind her, "Hurry up, today's theme is suspense and reasoning."

"Yes, okay." Yue Qingzhu quickly got up.

Next door, in the villa where the staff were located.

Director Liu was standing on the balcony, holding the phone.

From the receiver came the pleasant voice of Vice Minister Qin from the variety show department:

"Director Liu, I just saw yesterday's data. You actually surpassed Mango TV's dating show and Zhe Province's long-standing outdoor competitive reality show, taking first place in the same period. This is a big surprise for me. Keep up the good work."

Director Liu was instantly drenched in sweat.

Keep it up?

That dating show was full of melodrama, and the audience was completely hooked. The outdoor competitive reality show was also a long-standing variety show, featuring four A-list celebrities.

He couldn't even gather four here.

Yesterday, with the hot topic of school starting, plus the show just airing, and Chen Fang singing a new song, they managed to overpower other variety shows.

You want him to keep it up? Even if Director Liu went up and did a pole dance, he couldn't maintain it!

While complaining internally, he said with a flattering smile:

"Minister Qin, it's Sunday, and you're still personally paying attention to our data, I'm truly touched. With you at the helm, I instantly feel confident. Don't worry, we will definitely go all out next. Next week, we have a big move, and we definitely won't let you down."

"Good, I'm very optimistic about you."

After a few more words, Director Liu hung up the phone and slumped onto the sofa, staring at the sky.

He started to understand roosters; he also wanted to scream in the morning.

...

In a townhouse in the suburbs of the Capital.

Chen Fang's nephew, Chen Junjie, groggily got out of bed, washed up, and came to the dining room.

As soon as he sat down, his dad said, "Your uncle has a new song out, have you heard it?"

Chen Junjie instantly sobered up a bit, a smile curling his lips, "New song?"

His dad frowned slightly, "What's with that expression? You're not using his name to swindle people at school, are you?"

He knew that Chen Junjie had said he was Chen Fang's cousin at school. But most of his classmates came from good families, some had companies, some were in politics. A celebrity relative wasn't a big deal, just some infatuated girls would get excited for a couple of days.

"How could that be? My deskmate asked me for an autograph, and I didn't even agree. Didn't Mom always say that you always tell me not to bother Uncle and hold him back? My ears are going to be calloused from your nagging."

Chen Junjie frowned, his lips turning down, and he picked up a spoon to drink a mouthful of porridge.

But his heart was excited.

It wasn't that he wanted to show off in front of his classmates, but that the class beauty liked music.

Uncle's recent music quality has been very high, maybe the class beauty will come to him for help with an autograph?

If she really asked, should he agree? What could he exchange with Uncle?

Chen Junjie asked, "What song?"

"A love song. You can't find the full version now, it'll probably come out in a while? Your mom said it's very nice to listen to."

"A love song, huh."

Chen Junjie nodded, quickly finished his meal, returned to his room, pulled out his phone, and unable to contain his excitement, directly sent a message to the class beauty, "Good morning, did you listen to Chen Fang's new song yesterday? You know a lot about music, what do you think of it?"

"It suits you well."

Chen Junjie's breathing hitched, his heart pounded, and blood rushed to his brain.

"It suits you well"—this sentence, with her clear laughter, shallow dimples, and crescent eyes, exploded in his mind like fireworks.

Dad just said it was a love song, right?

Oh my God! Uncle absolutely couldn't sing a simp's song. This, this, is he about to usher in the first love of his life?

Chen Junjie took a deep breath and replied, "Which line?"

After sending it, he put his phone on the stand, quickly opened his tablet, searched for "Chen Fang + new song" in the browser, and was about to press the search button.

A message popped up in his phone's chat box: "Always cant learn, be a little smarter."

Chen Junjie's raised lips slowly fell, his bright eyes dimmed, and his mouth twitched.

What kind of terrible lyrics are these?

It seems to mock both his studies and his love life at the same time.

Chen Junjie sniffed.

Forget it, at least she replied instantly, and she cares about my studies, instead of not replying.

...

Half an hour later, at nine o'clock, today's "the adventures" officially began live streaming and new groups were drawn.

Director Liu stared at the monitor, feeling helpless.

As expected by the director, today's viewership was a bit lower than yesterday.

But this was unavoidable, after all, there was a bit less hype than yesterday.

However, an hour later, the guests arrived at the decryption segment. In this segment, they had to decrypt to find out the phone password and take photos with the camera.

Director Liu watched Chen Fang skip the decryption segment and directly swipe the screen to the right to take a photo, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.

The segment I stayed up all night designing, you just skipped it like that?!

Director Liu grabbed the phone and said to the executive director, "Inform Old Liu about this. After the other team solves the puzzle, tell them about Chen Fang's cheeky move and film their reactions."

He absolutely couldn't be the only one suffering!
