Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 163: Guitar Medley

i Fang and Lin Youxi stayed outside for a while before returning to the auditorium, making Xia Yuan, who was waiting in line alone, a little anxious. When she saw the two of them arrive, she quickly called out to them.

Its our turn next. Lets get ready and go in!

Okay, okay.

After entering, Lin Youxi hugged Xia Yuan and said, Lets do our best together.

Yes, lets do our best.

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi hugged for a while, and then Xia Yuan made a funny face at i Fang, who was standing behind Lin Youxi.

Afterward, the two of them entered the audition room inside the small auditorium. i Fang waited outside for about 10 minutes, and then Xia Yuan ca out carrying her guitar, accompanied by Lin Youxi.

They both had smiles on their faces, looking very happy.

We passed the audition!

So, they announce the results on the spot instead of notifying us later?

Mhm I think the judges must have their own consideration. One of the judges is actually the instructor of our special students orchestra. Shes very nice, so Ah Fang, youll be fine.

At this mont, Xia Yuan was patting i Fangs shoulder and encouraging him when a senior student in a school uniform ca out of the room.

The next one is i Fang from Class 5. You can co in.

Okay.

i Fang received encouragent from Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, and then followed the senior student into the room, carrying his guitar.

Although he was already a big shot worth millions, i Fang still maintained a student-like deanor at school. This was his first ti performing guitar and singing in front of soone other than Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, so he couldnt help feeling a bit nervous.

The judges in the audience were all teachers from the school, mainly music and art teachers, ranging from young to old, so their tastes should be quite diverse.

Seeing i Fang also carrying a guitar, the judges started discussing among themselves.

One teacher looked at the performance that i Fang had submitted from the list, then looked up at i Fang and said, Are you also performing guitar and singing?

Yes, teacher. i Fang added, Its my original composition.

Oh, an original piece, thats nice. Youre as talented as the previous one, Xia Xia sothing, impressive.

At this mont, a young and beautiful female teacher reminded the other judge, Its Xia Yuan She then looked at i Fang, Dont be nervous, student. Relax and you can start your performance. Do you need accompanint?

Well Ill just play and sing with my guitar.

After a brief statent, i Fang gazed ahead.

There were quite a few judges in the room. He tried to maintain a calm mindset, gently strumd the guitar strings, and in his mind, he could see the sweet smiles of Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi.

i Fang finished singing his song and opened his eyes. At a glance, he noticed that the judges reactions were sowhat mixed.

The younger female teachers seed to really enjoy i Fangs original song and applauded with smiles on their faces.

On the other hand, the older teachers furrowed their brows, appearing displeased.

One of the teachers, an older man with graying hair and glasses, spoke up, Student Your talent is quite impressive. However, this original song of yours It seems to have so unhealthy thoughts. Isnt this a love song?

Teacher He, I feel that love songs, as a creative the for songs, should not be rejected. A female teacher beside him opposed, If a student has such outstanding talent, why not let them showcase it? Isnt that a good thing?

But How can this be considered good? Its not appropriate Its against our schools principles

As music teachers, dont we often teach students to sing love songs?

Well, the songs we teach may not be great, but they are already established songs that people listen to, including parents.

This student said its his own creation. If he performs it on stage, what kind of impact will it have on the school? In the eyes of outsiders, parents might even think that our school supports puppy love and complain to the education bureau

The teachers debated, leaving i Fang with a headache.

He had always been careful in selecting his songs, but Im Willing was chosen specifically to dedicate to Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi. Changing the song at the last minute would make him very regretful, and there wasnt enough ti to practice a new one.

So, he stepped forward and interjected, Esteed judges, actually, I have carefully watched the performance videos of our schools previous Autumn Art Festival.

I noticed that there were many love songs perford and even duets between male and female students. Thats why I didnt think it was an issue. I believe our school should have a more open and inclusive atmosphere.

But did new regulations co out this year? I didnt see any such requirent in the performance guidelines. If the teachers change their minds at the last minute, wouldnt that be too arbitrary?

No Singing love songs in our school is not entirely discouraged, but the main issue is that youre different, student i. Your song is an original composition The elderly teacher pondered, If songs like this are allowed to be perford on stage, the influence really wouldnt be very good. It would be like were encouraging the creation of love songs.

i Fang nodded, If thats the only reason, I dont need to claim that I wrote the song myself.

After all, it wasnt originally his creation, so i Fang didnt feel wronged.

The elderly teacher pondered for a while and then spoke up, Additionally, our Autumn Art Festival will be held in the schools largest auditorium. Since the venue is very spacious, if its just guitar and vocals, the performance effect would be quite ordinary. So if you could add accompanint, it would elevate your performance to a higher level. Just the accompanint part without chords would suffice.

Accompanint

i Fang nodded, I will try to create it and see.

You can arrange music yourself? Thats impressive! The young female teacher applauded.

Not exactly I might need to ask a friend for help. I cant give the teachers a definite answer at the mont.

i Fang could only rely on Xia Yuans music arrangent skills to help him. If that didnt work out, he could outsource it to a professional team.

Thats also good.

The young female teacher encouraged i Fang, Student i, dont be too disheartened. Our school has always supported the comprehensive developnt of students and will never bury your talent!

However, the elderly teacher still seed concerned about i Fangs songwriting and composition. He urged i Fang, In the future, you should learn more from Student Xia Yuan. The two original songs she perford at the sumr camp closing ceremony were both inspirational and celebrated family bonds, which align with the students image.

The elderly teacher continued, You dont know those lyrics, do you? They were really well written By the way, are you a special county student? I wonder if you have heard them at the closing ceremony?

Um, I have heard them, teacher. Xia Yuan and I are friends. i Fang smiled slightly and explained, And those two songs were also the lyrics I wrote for her.

i Fangs words imdiately sparked a discussion among the judging teachers. One middle-aged female teacher even stood up. i Fang rembered her as the teacher who usually taught students who were talented in music in the afternoon orchestra class, including Xia Yuan.

So, youre the friend that Xia Yuan ntioned! Ive been wanting to et you. Since you know each other, why dont you perform together on stage?

Together on stage?

Yes, a guitar dley. Wouldnt that be perfect? The program you both registered for includes guitar performances

The middle-aged female teacher slapped her forehead, Right! Let Xia Yuan collaborate with you and include the two original songs she previously perford. You can organize a guitar dley, playing a total of five songs. It will avoid performance repetition. But in that case, to maintain consistency throughout the entire performance, its best to include accompanint for the other two songs as well.

Why didnt you say so earlier? Your lyrics are very well written!

After learning this, the elderly teachers tone towards i Fang beca much gentler. He slowly stood up and said:

W-Wellii Yuan, uh, rember to write fewer love songs next ti, and further develop the talent and foundation you showed in the lyrics of the first two songs. Your future will be limitless!

The young female teacher playfully reminded, Teacher He, your change of heart is a bit fast Also, his na is i Fang, not i Yuan. The other one is called Xia Yuan.

i Fang watched the teachers busy themselves with planning the performance for them and felt a bit overwheld.

Um It will probably take quite so ti to arrange the accompanint for the three original songs. I need to confirm with my friend if we can finish the arrangents on ti.

No worries, no worries, dont stress yourself too much. If you need any help, you can also ask !

The young female teacher smiled and continued, My surna is Chen. I currently teach music classes for the second year. If you have any questions about arranging music, you can co find at the office building on the third floor, room 303

Thank you, Teacher Chen! If we need assistance, well co to visit you.

After spending a lot of ti discussing the program arrangents with the judges and teachers, i Fang ca out after nearly half an hour. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi rushed up almost simultaneously, cautiously inquiring about his audition.

Ah Fang How did it go? Why did it take so long Were the teachers giving you a hard ti? Could it be because of the love song the

Well The reasons behind it are a bit complicated. Let explain it to you slowly.

So i Fang inford Xia Yuan about the teachers hope for him to organize a guitar dley with Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, and the need to create accompanint lodies for Im Willing, A not Far Away Place, and Rembrance of Lanshan.

At first, Xia Yuan was happy to hear that she could perform together with i Fang on stage, but when she heard about the need to arrange accompanint for three songs within one or two weeks, she furrowed her brows.

Yuan Yuan, dont worry too much about it. If we cant make it in ti, we can find soone online to do it. Professional arrangent teams should be quick, as long as we pay enough.

But But thats not right! This is our first ti performing together as a group of three. Its more morable to personally arrange the accompanint lodies! At most, I can ask Xiaoyu for help. If the two of us work together, we should barely make it in ti

Dont force yourself. This will definitely take a lot of energy

Its okay, its okay! Ive been studying music arrangent for so long. Making accompanint music is a piece of cake!

Rarely do I have the opportunity to showcase my skills in front of Ah Fang I cant disappoint his expectations.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for to establish my own place in Ximilu Studios ga developnt in the future

Xia Yuans determination was very firm.
