Chapter 111 The World of Two
"Can you leave later after school today?" Yan Zhusheng turned around and asked on the way to the gymnasium, "I have finished my homework, and I can stay for the third class to practice."

"Of course I can." Li Luo thought about the more than 10,000 words he wrote this afternoon, as well as the more than 200,000 words in his draft, and he didn't mind spending more time in the evening. "But I have to tell Xixi first."

"Yes, okay." Yan Zhusheng nodded. "Shall we go find her now?"

"Go upstairs and see if she is in the classroom." Li Luo said this and went back upstairs instead of going downstairs, heading towards the classroom of Class 1 on the fourth floor.

Arriving at the door of Class 1, Li Luo looked inside.

Most of the people in the class didn’t know Li Luo, or rather, they didn’t recognize Li Luo’s face.

After all, Li Luo only gave Ying Chanxi a small pudding once during military training, and the rest of the time it was basically Ying Chanxi who went to Class 8 to find him.

The girl sitting in the front row near the door saw Li Luo and found that she didn't recognize him, so she smiled kindly and reminded him: "Ying Chanxi is not here, you came at the wrong time."

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "How do you know I'm here to see Ying Chanxi? Can't I be here to see you?"

"Oh, I still have some self-awareness." The mushroom-haired girl in the front row said with a smile, "A strange boy from another class came to our door and looked around. Who else could he be looking for if not Ying Chanxi?"

"What about her?"

"She's still in the math competition class. She might not even be back for evening study."

"Which classroom is the competition class in?"

"Hehe, I won't tell you." The mushroom-haired girl smiled smugly and rubbed her fingers together. "Other boys who come to see Ying Chanxi will be more thoughtful."

"You still collect tolls here?" Li Luo looked stunned.

"Don't say such harsh words, I don't charge you." The mushroom-haired girl rolled her eyes, "Just some snacks or something, it's not expensive."

"Li Luo, don't worry about her." Liao Hailin, who was in the back row, saw Li Luo at the front door and ran over and hugged his shoulders. "I know where Ying Chanxi is taking classes. Come on, come on."

Li Luo was led to the corridor by Liao Hailin, confused. He didn't understand why this brother suddenly became so enthusiastic towards him.

It seems like they haven't talked much before?

But Liao Hailin was very enthusiastic. As he led Li Luo to the sixth floor, he smiled in a flattering manner and said, "Ying Chanxi is in the classroom on the sixth floor. I can take you there directly. However, can you tell me more about that..."

"What?" Li Luo looked suspicious.

"Does Ying Chanxi have anything else he likes? Besides dolls."

"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, not understanding this guy's train of thought.

Isn't it that Liu Shaowen who is interested in Ying Chanxi? How come you, as a brother, are also interested?

"Get lost!" At this time, Liu Shaowen chased out from the back door, pushed Liao Hailin away, and said unhappily, "Li Luo, ignore this guy, I'll take you upstairs."

"Anything else." Liao Hailin said anxiously, "I just asked what's wrong?"

"I haven't settled the score with you yet!" Liu Shaowen glared at him and said, "Go, go, go."

Being taken to the sixth floor by Liu Shaowen, Li Luo asked with a puzzled look on his face: "So what's going on?"

"What else could it be?" Liu Shaowen said speechlessly, "Last time, when that guy heard that Ying Chanxi liked dolls, when boys from other classes came to inquire about the news, he used this information to exchange for a lot of snacks and drinks, and got a lot of benefits for free. He must have tasted the sweetness."

Li Luo: “…”

What kind of paparazzi behavior is this...

I didn't expect that the last time Ying Chanxi received a bunch of doll gifts, it was this guy who did it behind the scenes.

Li Luo was a little amused and confused. He didn't expect that the students of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School were also full of gossip.

I originally thought that a place like the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School, where there are so many top students, would be full of students studying very hard.

But now, after living here for nearly two months, Li Luo found that, apart from being better at studying, the students here are actually not much different from ordinary high school students.

In the past, I had too many filters for the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School.

"They are in here. They should be resting right now. Just go in and look for them." Liu Shaowen did not ask Li Luo for any benefits. It seemed that he planned to get along with Li Luo for a long time. He knew the principle of playing the long game and catching big fish. "I'll go down first. Bye."

"Oh, thank you."

Li Luo thanked him, then came to the back door of the classroom, knocked on it, and said to the inside: "Ying Chanxi, come out for a moment."

Ying Chanxi, who was sitting in the front row, heard the familiar name and immediately turned his head to look over. When he saw Li Luo, he immediately stood up and walked towards the back door.

The other students in the class looked over in surprise.

There were about ten people in the classroom, basically the ones with the best math skills in the first year of high school at the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School.

About half of them are from Class 1, and the rest are from Classes 2 to 4. They are all carefully selected talents from the Mathematics Club and are specially brought in for additional targeted training.

The higher the level of a person, the more aware they are of each other's strength levels.

Therefore, these people know best how exaggerated the strength of this girl named Ying Chanxi is in mathematics competitions.

Recently, there have been several internal tests, and the scores of others have been ranked high and low, but Ying Chanxi is the only one who sits firmly in the first position, and no one can shake him at all.

If another boy came to see Ying Chanxi, he would probably be very cautious, walk to Ying Chanxi's table, and whisper his purpose to her.

Or you could ask other students to help call Ying Chanxi out.

How could someone like Li Luo shout directly at the door and ask Ying Chanxi to come over to talk? However, neither Li Luo nor Ying Chanxi paid attention to other people's eyes. Ying Chanxi walked out of the classroom door and came to the corridor, and asked Li Luo in confusion: "Why did you come to see me?"

"I'm telling you this in advance." Li Luo pointed at Yan Zhusheng who was waiting at the entrance of the corridor. "I'm going to the rock club for training tonight. I'll be back after the third evening self-study class. You don't have to wait for me after school. Just go back with senior sister."

"...Oh, I see." Ying Chanxi glanced at Yan Zhusheng who was quietly waiting over there and pursed his lips, "Then I understand. Good luck in your training."

The two people parted in the corridor. Ying Chanxi returned to the classroom, and Li Luo took Yan Zhusheng and rushed to the activity room of the gymnasium.

……

"Hey, you're here?" Niu Qingling was sitting behind the drum set. When he saw Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng coming in, he knocked on the cymbals and welcomed them. "Everyone is here. Let's get started."

"Hurry up, I took a day off to come here today." Xie Shuchen stood behind the electronic keyboard and sighed, "It's a huge sacrifice."

He was also selected by Teacher Sun to participate in the small-class training for the mathematics competition class, but his grades were basically at the bottom.

So when he said the sacrifice was huge, it was not that he gave up studying in the competition class, but that he gave up the opportunity to be in the same classroom with Ying Chanxi.

But in order to shine in subsequent performances and make Ying Chanxi really notice him, Xie Shuchen feels that this effort is worth it.

On the other side, Shao Youpeng was also full of ambition, holding his bass and throwing himself into the training with great anticipation.

"During the parents' meeting, the teacher asked us to practice the two songs we were going to sing at the sports meeting," Niu Qingling said, "so today we are going to practice the closing ceremony song."

"Which song will be sung at the closing ceremony?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"A life in full bloom," Yan Zhusheng said. "The score is behind Brave Heart. You can find it if you flip the page."

"OK."

After some adjustments and preparations, bursts of music and singing suddenly came from the activity room.

"I want a life in full bloom!"

"It's like flying in the vast sky!"

Once he entered the singing state, Yan Zhusheng seemed to have become a different person.

Especially when singing songs like "Life in Bloom", he can burst out 100% of his energy.

If you are someone who is very familiar with Yan Zhusheng's daily appearance in real life, it would probably be difficult to imagine that Yan Zhusheng's voice would be so explosive and powerful when he sings.

It makes people feel instantly immersed in the scene.

As a result, other people quickly got into the whole atmosphere and the effect of running-in was very good.

……

Time passed quickly like flowing water.

After the bell rang to signal the end of the second evening self-study session, Niu Qingling and others packed up their musical instruments and left the activity room.

Li Luo happened to go out to the toilet, and when he returned to the activity room, Yan Zhusheng was the only one left in the room.

This confused him for a moment, and then he asked, "Where are they? Did they go to the toilet too?"

He didn't meet Xie Shuchen and Shao Youpeng in the toilet either.

Yan Zhusheng blinked and said innocently, "They went back."

"Didn't you say that we should stay for the third evening study session to continue training?"

"I said I could stay and train, but I didn't say they would stay too." Yan Zhusheng said innocently, "Don't you want to practice anymore?"

Li Luo twitched his lips: "...How can we practice if we don't have all the people together?"

"The first two classes are about practicing the overall coordination of the band." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "The next is your personal practice time."

"What to practice?"

"Practice guitar." Yan Zhusheng said, "You can also practice singing."

"I don't think I told you that I have to sing too? You are the lead singer, okay?"

"But after listening to my recent practice, I feel like I can do better." Yan Zhusheng thought about it for a while, and then analyzed it with Li Luo, "Although girls can sing these two rock songs, my voice is brighter and doesn't have that tearing feeling."

"If there was a male voice to neutralize it, it would be more comfortable to listen to."

"For example, in the climax of Brave Heart, I could also use some angry voice to top it off, but it would still be better if it was embellished with a male voice."

Li Luo was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "I think you are a little too harsh on us. It's just a high school sports meet, and you sang perfectly."

"That's the only thing I don't agree with." Yan Zhusheng shook his head. "If we can do better, why not?"

Seeing Yan Zhusheng's serious look, Li Luo smiled helplessly: "Okay, as you wish, but my singing skills are not as good as yours."

"I will teach you well."

"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you, Teacher Yan."

"Student Li." Yan Zhusheng tried to keep a straight face and looked at Li Luo, saying seriously, "Let's start practicing."
