Chapter 346: Second year of high school begins, fighting for a deskmate
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat tense and weird.

Ying Zhicheng looked at his daughter, then glanced at Li Luo beside him, trying to pretend to be calm: "I just happened to have something to discuss with your Aunt Yuan. She has to go to the city to attend an event at around 10 o'clock, so I'll give her a ride."

Ying Chanxi was probably too surprised, so when Ying Zhicheng gave this reason, she nodded and believed it.

"Is that so? So, Dad, are you guys leaving?"

"Yes." Ying Zhicheng said this, and turned to look at Yuan Wanqing, "But you have guests at home, you should..."

"Then Mr. Ying, please go first." Yuan Wanqing smiled, "My event is not urgent, I will entertain them first before leaving."

"Okay, I'll go first then." Ying Zhicheng nodded, walked towards the elevator, and patted Ying Chanxi on the shoulder, "Then have fun here, Dad will go to the company first."

"Oh, oh, oh..." Seeing that the conversation between Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing was quite normal, Ying Chanxi didn't think about it any more. After saying goodbye to Ying Zhicheng, he followed Li Luo and was welcomed into the house by Yuan Wanqing.

"How did you four get together?" Yuan Wanqing looked at Yan Zhusheng and the other two, then looked at Luo Fei who was following behind, and asked puzzledly.

"Li Luo has written another new song to record, and Zhusheng asked me to compose it, so I just came here to think about it." Luo Fei laughed twice, and then said to Yan Zhusheng, "You three should go upstairs and get ready first. I'll come over after chatting with your mother."

"Oh, okay." Yan Zhusheng nodded, and took Li Luo and Ying Chanxi upstairs first.

Meanwhile, Luo Fei watched Yan Zhusheng and the others go upstairs and enter the recording studio, and then immediately pulled Yuan Wanqing into the guest bedroom on the first floor. With an unpleasant expression, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on between you and Mr. Ying?"

"What, what's going on?" Yuan Wanqing's expression was a little unnatural when asked by her best friend. She subconsciously avoided her gaze and said, "What are you talking about?"

"You two can fool a kid, but do you really think you can fool me?" Luo Fei said speechlessly, "What's the matter? The general manager of Huayue Film and Television wants to come to the home of our great star Yuan to discuss it?"

"And it's so early in the morning! It's only 8:30 in the morning!"

"If this happened at the company, the morning meeting would have just ended!"

"Besides, Mr. Ying usually lives in the city, why did he suddenly come back to Yinjiang District?"

Confused by Luo Fei's series of questions, Yuan Wanqing stammered and was caught off guard. She could only respond reluctantly: "This... I don't know... Mr. Ying just happened to come here to discuss something..."

"What are you discussing?"

"Hmm...about the singer's subsequent program arrangements..."

"What does that have to do with him? Aren't the specific arrangements made by the Music Department and your studio in conjunction with the program team over there?" Luo Fei rolled his eyes, then couldn't help but sigh.

After she restrained all her expressions, she solemnly pressed Yuan Wanqing's shoulders and said seriously, "Are we good friends?"

"Yes."

"Then tell me the truth. Did Mr. Ying force you?" Luo Fei narrowed his eyes and said dangerously, "Don't be so secretive. I know it's hard for a woman to talk about this kind of thing, but the more you do this, the more likely this kind of person will push it further."

"I originally thought that Mr. Ying had always had a good reputation in the company. Was he your agent?"

"But now he is using his status and position to make advances on you!"

"You can't just give in like this!"

"Think about it carefully, who is relying on whom now?"

"His position as general manager sounds good, but has he actually made any decent achievements in the company's transformation in recent years? Isn't it just the same as in TV dramas with young handsome guys?"

"Now everyone in the company is saying that he made a good move by inviting you to make a comeback in the music industry. Many people are privately praising him for his decisiveness."

"But in fact, we all know how you made such a comeback this time. It was all thanks to the traffic brought by those good songs provided by Li Luo!"

"Li Luo made nine songs for you this time! Do you think he made them for you because of Ying Zhicheng?"

"It's all because of Zhusheng!"

"You don't even need to care about him in your current situation. How can you let him take advantage of you?"

After hearing her best friend getting more and more excited, Yuan Wanqing's expression became a little strange, and then she couldn't help laughing and shaking her head.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault for hiding it from you, but you're thinking too much..." Yuan Wanqing held her forehead helplessly and whispered, "I can tell you, but you must keep it a secret, especially from Zhu Sheng."

……

Second floor, inside the recording studio.

Seeing that the two girls didn't react much to the incident, Li Luo gave up the idea of ​​making amends for Ying Zhicheng.

Originally, he was thinking about how he would patch up Uncle Ying if Ying Chanxi or Yan Zhusheng was a little more suspicious, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.

After entering the recording studio, Yan Zhusheng plugged the USB flash drive given to her by Luo Fei into the backstage of the recording studio and played the simple version of the arranged music.

After listening to it once along with the rhythm, Yan Zhusheng got the feeling, and when he listened to it the second time, he started singing along with the rhythm of the music.

By the third time, Li Luo joined in, and the two sang a song together to get a feel for it.

Although Ying Chanxi can sing, but without the assistance of karaoke, he has no idea where to start.

Faced with such a relatively professional occasion, Ying Chanxi kept quiet and sat aside watching the two of them busy.

Not long after, Luo Fei came in from outside, joined the situation, and began to discuss arrangement suggestions with Yan Zhusheng.

At this point, Li Luo's professional knowledge was no longer enough. He could hardly understand the conversation between the two of them and could only follow their orders.

But when recording the song, Luo Fei occasionally looked at Ying Chanxi with a strange expression.

Then he looked at the clothes that Ying Chanxi and Li Luo were wearing, which looked like couple outfits, and then looked at the interaction between Yan Zhusheng and Li Luo, and for a moment he fell into deep thought.

These families are really outrageous... Luo Fei said she didn't want to meddle in their affairs anymore.

……

The recording went on smoothly.

It starts on Tuesday and lasts until Saturday morning.

Not only the song "Sun" that Li Luo gave to Yan Zhusheng, but also "Mojito" that Li Luo sang to Xu Youyu before, also asked Luo Fei to complete the arrangement.

After spending four days recording a relatively satisfactory version, Yan Zhusheng asked Luo Fei to help burn a physical CD.

Not much, just a few servings.

It is mainly for a few of them to collect privately as a souvenir.

So on the last day before school started, at the call of Li Luo, the seven-member study group got together again before school started.

In the afternoon, Li Luo asked Xu Yinghuan and Qiao Xinyan to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and Zhao Rongjun was responsible for carrying things.

Li Luo took Ying Chanxi and the other three to the supermarket and bought a bunch of snacks.

I made a sumptuous meal in the evening, enjoyed the food, and then ate snacks while watching the replay of "I Am a Singer" last night. I watched Yuan Wanqing sing "Light" and successfully won the third place in the show.

Then Yan Zhusheng took out the CD burned by Luo Fei from his schoolbag and gave a copy to everyone present.

"What's engraved on it?" Xu Yinghuan took the CD and asked curiously.

"The audio of 'The Sun'," Yan Zhusheng said, "is the new song that Li Luo sang on my birthday. He and I recorded three versions, two solos and one duet, all of which are included."

"Wow~" Xu Yinghuan cheered in surprise, "This is good, I like it! Can I listen to it now?"

“You can put it under the TV. Just stuff it in.” Li Luo said.

"Let me try!" Xu Yinghuan couldn't wait to put the CD in his hand into the CD-ROM drive under the TV.

Soon, Yan Zhusheng's singing could be heard in the living room.

This was followed by Li Luo's version, and the duet version by Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng.

Ying Chanxi sat on the sofa and listened to the song. He felt a little better when he thought that at least the song was recorded under his supervision.

But it would be better if the CD only contained Li Luo's solo version.

Ying Chanxi held the CD in his hand and thought secretly in his heart.

After listening to the song, everyone played cards on the sofa in the living room for a while. After eating most of the snacks, Qiao Xinyan and the others went back home.

After seeing off the guests, the four of them were cleaning up the living room when Yan Zhusheng said, "I'll apply to be a day student after school starts, and I'll come back to live here every day."

Li Luo had anticipated this matter.

Anyway, the dormitories will be reallocated after the class division. Instead of asking Yan Zhusheng to adjust to roommate relationships with several unfamiliar girls again, it would be simpler to just come back and live here instead of going to school as a day student.

But Ying Chanxi was a little caught off guard and was stunned for a moment.

"Zhu Sheng...are you not living on campus in the new semester?"

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded. "Actually, I didn't want to live here last semester, but my mom still recommended that I stay for the whole year. I'll just move to your place in advance so I can stay here on weekends." After hearing what Yan Zhusheng said, Ying Chanxi pursed his lips.

What little sense of superiority still remained was instantly gone.

After all, the senior student was one grade higher than them. After waiting for another year, when Xu Youyu was admitted to university, it would be impossible for him to go home with them after school every day.

In this way, at least on the way home every day, there will be some alone time between him and Li Luo.

However, when Yan Zhusheng said he wanted to go to school as a part-time student, this beautiful dream was shattered.

But the good news is that at least after the new semester begins, Ying Chanxi will be able to study in the same class as Li Luo!
Thinking of this, Ying Chanxi's mood improved a little. He was already imagining sitting in the same class with Li Luo again after a year.

Moreover, you can choose your own seat in the new semester. I wonder what the style of Mr. Kong in Class 8 is?
Will there be special arrangements, or will students be allowed to choose for themselves?
Ying Chanxi wasn't sure either, but it would be great if she could sit at the same table with Li Luo.

When Ying Chanxi thought that he still had the chance to be a deskmate with Li Luo, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, and his heart beat a little faster.

After cleaning up the living room, Li Luo went back to his room to take a shower.

After taking a shower and typing for a while, he blew Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng's hair and sent them away. Then Li Luo checked the time, listened to the noise outside, then got up, picked up a CD, walked to the door of Xu Youyu's room and knocked.

At Xu Youyu's "Come in", Li Luo pushed open her door. It was a rare opportunity for him to come to her room in the middle of the night.

Xu Youyu, who was typing, turned his head in confusion. When he found that it was Li Luo, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "The sun rises from the west, and you will take the initiative to come to my side?"

"Senior, you said that as if I have let you down."

"Isn't it?" Xu Youyu rolled her eyes at him, then pretended to be pitiful, "Every time I have to take the initiative to go to your room to sleep with you, otherwise you won't come to favor me."

Li Luo's eyes twitched: "...be normal."

"So why did you come to see me?" Xu Youyu asked with a smile, "You can't be here to give me a massage, right?"

"That's not impossible?"

"How do you press it?" Xu Youyu winked at him charmingly, deliberately pushed down the shoulder strap of her nightgown, turned sideways and asked him softly, "Do you want to press here, here, or... here?"

Li Luo took a deep breath and took several steps back. He couldn't stand the senior sister's behavior anymore, so he quickly handed the CD to her desk: "Here, this is for you."

"Huh? Why are you giving me a gift for no reason?" Xu Youyu asked in confusion, "And didn't Zhu Sheng just give me one? What's the difference? Do you have a version with extra content for singing a song?"

"Senior, you are too knowledgeable..." Li Luo twitched his lips and then explained, "This is another song. You should still remember it, right?"

"Oh~ that song?"

“Yeah, that’s the one.”

"Then let me listen to it~" Xu Youyu couldn't wait to put the CD into the computer's built-in CD-ROM drive, turned on the audio, and used the speakers Ying Chanxi gave her to play the song "Mojito" that Li Luo sang specifically for her.

However, when the music started, Xu Youyu couldn't wait to take out the wine glass that Li Luo gave her from the drawer and winked at him: "Listen to this song, you should have a drink with me, right? You kicked me out a few days ago, and I was sad for a long time."

"Just one cup this time." Li Luo raised a finger and warned, "We have to report to school tomorrow morning."

"Of course." Xu Youyu leaned close to Li Luo's ear with a smile, turned his head and kissed him, "This is a reward for you. I'm very happy that you remembered to give me this CD."

……

October 8th, Sunday.

Half past seven in the morning.

Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong arrived at the gate of Bihai Lanting community on time and picked up Li Luo and other three people.

Because they had informed Li Guohong in advance, both Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing were busy with work and did not come to send their children to school.

As for Xu Youyu, he was used to being simple and free, so he never asked his parents to send him off.

Originally, Li Luo felt that since they were already in the second year of high school, they didn't need their parents to accompany them. However, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong were free at home anyway, so they rushed over early in the morning to send the children to report to school.

To be honest, Ying Chanxi's parents didn't come, and when they saw the four children walking towards them, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong couldn't help but have an illusion that these four children were all raised by them.

It's quite fulfilling.

As they were thinking this, a group of six people had already arrived at the school gate.

After passing through the school gate where the security guard was, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong accompanied them all the way through the first-year high school teaching building and arrived at the entrance of the second-year high school teaching building.

"You guys just go up, I can go alone." Xu Youyu waved at them and walked towards the senior high school building behind.

"You change the classroom every year, right?" Lin Xiuhong glanced at the building she had never been to before, and followed Li Luo to the third floor.

"Yes, there is one building for each grade, and it changes every year." Li Luo nodded and said, "The senior high school teaching building is closest to the cafeteria. There is also a corridor on the second floor that leads directly to the second floor of the cafeteria, so it is most convenient for eating."

This can be considered as a convenience provided by the school for high school students.

At least I can eat faster and have more time to study.

A group of five people walked up to the third floor. Along the way, they attracted a lot of people's attention because of Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng.

And under such gazes, Li Luo and four others arrived at the door of Class 8 of Grade 2.

When Kong Junxiang on the podium saw Li Luo, he stood up with a smile and waved to him.

Li Luo, along with Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, greeted Kong Junxiang.

Later, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong immediately stepped forward and paid the tuition and other necessary items for the three children.

Seeing this, Kong Junxiang was also stunned for a moment: "Didn't their parents come?"

"They are all friends' children. They are busy with work, so we helped to send them here." Li Guohong said with a smile.

From the previous group tour, Li Guohong and his wife had become quite familiar with Kong Junxiang. After a few greetings, the couple said goodbye and left.

When Li Luo and the other two were about to find seats to sit down in the classroom, Kong Junxiang waved at Li Luo and motioned him to stay for a moment.

Yan Zhusheng, who was standing by, saw the right opportunity and immediately reached out to Li Luo, taking the schoolbag off his back and saying, "I'll take it for you."

"Oh." Li Luo didn't think much about it. He took off his schoolbag and handed it to Yan Zhusheng, then stayed at the podium to follow Kong Junxiang's instructions.

At this time, Ying Chanxi had already walked towards the podium. He had no idea what was happening and was looking around, thinking about which seat to sit down.

She turned her head to look at Li Luo, only to find that he remained on the podium, which disrupted her plan.

Logically speaking, she should walk in front, find a seat and sit down, then immediately call Li Luo to sit next to her, and then the two of them can naturally become deskmates!

Even if the teacher may change the seats later, at least you have reserved a seat first.

As a result, when Li Luo was detained, Ying Chanxi stood still. He looked at Li Luo, then at Yan Zhusheng, and saw Yan Zhusheng walking straight towards a familiar corner by the window.

Putting Li Luo's schoolbag on his favorite window seat, Yan Zhusheng sat down next to him, confirming his status as Li Luo's deskmate.

When Ying Chanxi saw this scene, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He hurried to Yan Zhusheng, looked left and right, and finally looked at the seat in front of Li Luo.

"Liu Shaowen."

"What, what's wrong, squad leader?" When Liu Shaowen saw Ying Chanxi walking towards him, he subconsciously looked at the empty seat next to him, and his heart began to beat faster.

Is it possible...

"I would rather sit by the window. Can you give your seat to me?" Ying Chanxi asked sincerely.

Although he didn't ask if he could sit next to him, Liu Shaowen stood up without hesitation when he heard this, picked up his schoolbag, and walked out: "You sit, you sit, I just picked a random seat, it doesn't matter if you change it."

"Thank you." Ying Chanxi thanked him, which immediately made Liu Shaowen's chest straighten out, as if he had done something extraordinary.

But at this moment, Qiao Xinyan, who was originally sitting in the front, suddenly came running over with her schoolbag in her arms and sat down on the empty seat next to Ying Chanxi: "Why are you sitting so far back? I've already taken up the seat in the front."

"No, it's okay." Ying Chanxi blushed slightly and whispered, "Occasionally I also want to try the feeling of sitting by the window."

"Really?" Qiao Xinyan was suspicious for a moment, then looked at Yan Zhusheng behind her, and glanced at the schoolbag on the empty seat next to her, "Zhusheng, who's next to you?"

"Li Luo."

"Oh." Qiao Xinyan rolled her eyes, while Ying Chanxi on the side turned his head away guiltily.

As for Liu Shaowen, after the empty seat next to Ying Chanxi was taken, he had no choice but to choose a seat across the aisle, which was at least closer to Ying Chanxi.

No matter what, it is already a great fortune to be in the same class with Ying Chanxi after the class division in the second year of high school!
When he thought of this, Liu Shaowen felt much better, especially since he had just given up his seat to Ying Chanxi, which made him very satisfied.

On the first day of school, I did something for Ying Chanxi. It was really a good sign!
