“Where will we see the School President?” An Xiulan asked Han Zixin.
“I heard that he goes to the music departnt during lunch break every day, “Han Zixin replied. They had been keeping an eye on the school President but they couldn’t find anything substantial.
“I didn’t know the School President joined the Music departnt, “An Xiulan wondered out loud.
“He didn’t, “Han Zixin scoffed. “I have been taking guitar lessons. He cos to the sa class I go to. He must be there to show off his poor guitar skills.”
“You didn’t play the guitar for . You don’t even sing for , “An Xiulan pouted.
“I feel shy, “Han Zixin sighed. “I am not comfortable with singing in front of many students. I just sang once in front of many people and it was last year at sumr camp.”
“Why don’t you join the music departnt?” An Xiulan asked him. “You sing so well.”
“Hah! Don’t you say that Lu Mingze is the best singer in the world. Why don’t you listen to him?” Han Zixin retorted..
“Excuse , these were not my words, “An Xiulan placed her hands on her waist and replied. “I don’t rember saying anything like this.”
Han Zixin gasped. “You little liar! How could you forget what you say? You told Lu Mingze is the best idol in the world. Didn’t you tell ?”
“I did, “An Xiulan replied.
“Then, who is lying?” Han Zixin asked her with a huff.
“You!” An Xiulan pointed her finger at her.
Han Zixin gaped at her. How shaless!
“You know what?” Han Zixin stomped on his feet dramatically. “You can talk to the School President yourself. I’m going back to my class. And you can sit with your favourite idol too.”
“HAN ZIXIN!” An Xiulan raged. “Take back what you said! I never said he is the best singer in the world. To , he is the best idol in the world.”
“You’re saying as if there is a difference between the two, “Han Zixin scoffed.
“Of course, there is, “An Xiulan argued. “There is a huge difference between an Idol and a singer. If you don’t believe , ask anyone.”
Han Zixin fell silent. After a while, he asked, “So, who is your favourite singer?”
“I don’t have any yet, “An Xiulan replied, cocking her brow. “Why don’t you be the one?”
“Stop saying nonsense, “Han Zixin muttered.
“Fine, “An Xiulan scoffed. Every ti soone would ask him to continue singing classes, he would reject it. It was so difficult for Yeye to make him agree to start guitar lessons. If it was soone else, they would have understood. But Han Zixin loved music. He loved music way too much. She couldn’t understand why he stayed away from the music if he loved it that much.
“Let’s et the School President, “An Xiulan suggested.
When they entered the music departnt, the school president was playing the Guitar. He was trying to impress the music teacher but from the look on her face, they could tell from the cawing sound coming out of the guitar that the teacher was not impressed.
“I think we don’t need to do much convincing here, “Han Zixin looked at her best friend and smiled evilly. “I think I have an idea.”
“President, you said you can play the guitar and that’s why we didn’t look for a guitarist, “The other student said in trouble. “We are not prepared. What will we do if we can’t find a guitarist?”
“Wasn’t it good?” The school president asked. He gave his best. What else do they want? He looked at the music teacher pitifully, “Madam, am I not good enough? I tried my best. Can I do a little more practice?”
“I am afraid we don’t have much ti for practice, “Yang i said with a small smile. “Although we don’t have a guitarist. We will look for soone else. Student Chen, you can practice with the group until we find another student for the post of guitarist.”
“Can I apply for the post, teacher?” Han Zixin asked.
The students gasped when they saw who was applying for the post of the guitarist.
Even An Xiulan had a funny reaction at this ti. It appeared as if her eyes were going to co out of sockets. To say she was shocked would be an understatent.
Yang i saw two students standing out in her class. It would be a lie if she said that she didn’t recognise the girl. Who in Jingyuan High didn’t recognise the girl whose posters had been so tall and hard to ignore? Moreover, she had been following the girl on social dia.
“You can but you have to pass the test first, “Yang i calmly said. She couldn’t let anyone apply for the post. She had seen what had happened the first ti. “If you play this, you are selected.”
Han Zixin ca inside with An Xiulan. As he looked at the music sheet, he frowned. It was a little difficult for him but he hoped to try his best.
“I will give it a try, “Han Zixin said.
Yang i signalled the school president to hand over the guitar to Han Zixin.
The school president was not at all impressed with the turn of events. However, he couldn’t say no to the teacher.
Han Zixin took the guitar and sat on the chair. He surprised everyone by playing the guitar. When he finished, everyone clapped loudly for him.
“There is room to improve but it’s better than what I had expected, “Yang i said. “Are you taking music lessons?”
“Yes, he is taking guitar lessons. Apart from guitar, he can play piano and harmonica too, “An Xiulan muttered a sorry in her heart when she disclosed this information. “Not only this, my friend has taken vocal training lessons too when he was young.”
Han Zixin gave her a look but she lowered her head.
“I’m not that of a vocalist, “Han Zixin muttered.
