After the Peng Xue incident, Xia Yuan's Class 8 experienced a lot of changes, but after experiencing the initial discomfort, everyone quickly returned to their daily study and life. After all, twists and turns are just episodes, and the ordinary life is life.
After the math teacher became the class teacher, the class's previous introverted atmosphere was changed, and Xia Yuan had to do a lot less homework outside of class.
Mei Fang has been accompanying Xia Yuan to study music theory on weekends recently. In addition to wanting to comfort Xia Yuan more, it is also for her to master the ability to listen to songs, recognize music scores and transcribe them as soon as possible, and write simple music scores according to the singing tunes. The understanding of music theory will not only help Yuanyuan's future planning, but will also be useful when she makes game music in the future.
After Mei Fang finished writing down the main melody score of a popular song from memory, she gave it to Xia Yuan for checking. Xia Yuan played the role of a little teacher and made a mark on it with a red pen, giving her a score of 100.
"Yeah, all correct!"
Xia Yuan hummed softly, "Ah Fang, don't get too carried away. In fact, anyone who has learned a little bit of music theory can quickly master the ability to read music. The main melody of pop music is not that complicated."
"Is that so? I thought I was very talented..."
Seeing that Mei Fang was a little discouraged, Xia Yuan immediately changed his tone and said, "The song we just sang was just a trial. Ah Fang, you can do better! If you get to know more instruments, you will be able to better distinguish the parts of a complete song."
"Speaking of which, if it's a complete song, Yuanyuan, can you write out the main melody and the music for each part? For example, a song may have a guitar, a piano, and drums."
"It depends on the genre. If it's a pop song like the one just now, or an ACG song, with few parts, I can write the melody after listening to it a few times. But if it's a classical piano solo, even though it's only played with two hands, the parts will be very complicated, which is a lot more troublesome."
"Although it's troublesome... According to what Yuanyuan said, you can actually figure out the score, right?"
Xia Yuan pursed his lips and shook his head without commenting, "I haven't tried it for a long time, I have to try it too! Of course, the most difficult one is the symphony."
"Indeed, there are so many parts in a whole choir, and I don't know what their music scores look like."
"The scores for each part are basically different, otherwise it would be hard to keep up."
"I see."
Mei Fang couldn't help but sigh as she chatted, "Now that I think about it, the music teachers in elementary school actually taught the most music theory knowledge. The teachers also taught us to read music scores and draw staves. But in middle school, the music teachers seemed to be quite perfunctory, just teaching us to sing a pop song and that was it."
Xia Yuan smiled and said, "After all, music classes in middle schools don't always have the same next class. We treat every class as the last one, so naturally we have one song per class! By the way... it seems that we haven't had music class since the midterm exam."
"That doesn't matter. I still have time to go."
"Won't your class teacher steal the class? Why is he so good?"
Mei Fang shook his head. "That's not what I meant. I meant—"
Mei Fang reached out and gently touched Xia Yuan's cheek, "I have always had a free little childhood music teacher to teach me!"
Xia Yuan was immediately furious when he heard this, "Who wants to teach you for free! Give me the money! You borrowed 10 yuan from me when you were in kindergarten and never paid me back. You really didn't think I forgot it, did you?"
Mei Fang was shocked: "So you still remember this!"
"How could I not remember!" Xia Yuan pouted and hummed, "That time... It was the first time I went out without an adult, and I went with you, Fang. You took me to buy lottery tickets, to see cats, to see the small bridge, and I ate cotton candy for the first time. I also fell asleep on your shoulder... I remember everything that happened that day."
Xia Yuan became excited again as he spoke, "Ah Fang, Ah Fang, is there anything you regret not doing or doing when you were a kid?"
"Why are we suddenly talking about this?"
"Just chatting..."
Xia Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Because I always feel like I have nothing to regret. I am only glad that I did what I did at that time. For example, I listened to you and ran away from home. I tried my best with Youxi to convince Aunt Xiang to let you stay..."
Xia Yuan's smile looks very sweet.
"Also... it's about what happened a while ago. I always seem to be very lucky and happy. Every time I encounter a crisis, there is always someone to protect me."
"So, Fang, if there is anything you want to try but have never done, please tell me. If it is still possible now, I will definitely help you achieve it."
Are you upset
Of course, "hard to let go" refers specifically to the fact that the CP you supported didn't end up together, but Mei Fang still likes to use "hard to let go" to explain the regrets he wants to make up for after his rebirth.
Mei Fang had many regrets in his previous life, but he has made up for a lot of them in the past few years, and now he is a bit more Buddhist.
Apart from not getting into a good university and Zhang Ming going to Wukonan, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly regretful at the moment.
Come to think of it... maybe there is
For example—
Mei Fang raised his head and told Xia Yuan seriously, "Actually... I've always wanted to learn a musical instrument and then perform on stage, such as guitar or piano..."
Xia Yuan's eyes widened, "Ah Fang... are you serious?"
"Yuanyuan, if you want to laugh, just laugh. I know my singing is terrible, but I still envy those singers who shine on the stage."
Mei Fang's eyes showed infinite yearning, "I want to be as cool as them."
Seeing Mei Fang say this, Xia Yuan stopped smiling, "I'm sorry... Ah Fang! I really didn't mean to laugh at you, I was just a little surprised. Let me listen to you carefully. Do you want to be a big star in the future? But I see that you seem to prefer writing code."
"Writing code and making games is more like a career for me. When I said I wanted to learn a musical instrument, it was purely a personal hobby. You see, I definitely can't be a star with my appearance and temperament, but if I can go on stage once, even once, then I will be satisfied."
"That's not the case!"
Xia Yuan shook his head and denied it. "Our Afang is obviously very handsome! I think you can definitely be a star! You are good at roller skating, you are gentle to people, you can write code to make games to make money, you are also very mature and reliable, and you have super super powerful Afang energy. Well, in short... it's amazing!"
"Hehe... I feel embarrassed when you say that."
When Mei Fang talked to Xia Yuan this time, he was not trying to encourage Xia Yuan to embark on the path of music, but rather spoke from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, it was mentioned before that besides playing games, Mei Fang’s favorite hobby since childhood is music. He likes classical music, light music and pop music.
However, he always just liked it, and he never had the idea of going deeper because he didn't think he had the talent and time to do so.
His change of perspective came from a performance he watched when he was a sophomore in high school.
The only performances he had access to during his student days were the class's New Year's Eve party and the campus singing competition. However, during the singing competition in his second year of high school, when he saw a classmate who he got along well with was selected as one of the top ten singers, and when she changed her usual image and sang passionately on the stage under the shining spotlight, he suddenly had a wonderful, as if-in-a-world-again feeling.
It's not just a longing for her to stand on the stage, it's a more complicated feeling. It turns out that the people around me can also shine like that. If I had worked hard to pursue this dream in my early years, would I also be able to stand on such a stage and sing
In her previous life, Mei Fang did not have the financial resources to learn music since she was a child. Moreover, if she said something like she wanted to perform on stage, she would be laughed at by the male friends around her. Mei Fang had always buried this dream deep in her heart. Even though she liked to sing, she would only sing secretly at home and never go to KTV.
As for this life, Mei Fang has been thinking about how to make money and spend time with Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi to relive their childhood. Her passion for learning code is actually to make games and to take care of her dream of becoming a game producer. Xia Yuan and Mei Fang talked more and more, because it was the first time she knew that Mei Fang loved music more than she thought. She couldn't help but stand up and hold Mei Fang's hand.
"Now that we've come to this, let's go now!"
"Go... what for?"
Xia Yuan smiled at Mei Fang, "What else can we do? Of course, we should go buy a guitar!"
I originally didn't plan to update today, but seeing how pitiful everyone was begging me in the comments and tagging me like crazy in the group, I'll reluctantly add one more chapter to update! I'll start updating at my normal time tomorrow, and then make up for the extra chapters based on my pace.
Wuxin Chizi is a reader I have known since 2017 when I was a member of Watanabe Laozei. Although I haven't been in touch with him for many years and he is no longer in the group, I recognized him immediately when he voted. Thank you for still loving me. There are also many people who gave me rewards and votes to support me. I love you.
