Chapter 3 Laughing so recklessly

  The head teacher's words were extremely unpleasant, partly because she was four or five months pregnant and had severe prepartum syndrome. She came to teach the graduating class on the sixth day of the new year, feeling that everything was not going smoothly.

  The second reason is that Qi Hui was a repeat student and his grades were poor. The school, in order to improve its promotion rate, had persuaded many students to drop out.

  Zi Ke is also among those who were persuaded to leave.

  Hearing the class teacher insult him like that, Qi Ke suppressed his anger and said disdainfully: "What do you want my dad to do? You can't even take care of me, a kid, yet you want to control my dad?"

  "You..." The head teacher was so angry that he couldn't speak.

  Zi Cong slapped his own withdrawal application form on the table.

  "It just so happens that I'm also here to drop out today, and from now on, you won't be able to see me again, and you don't have to see me either!"

  After finishing speaking, Qi Hui walked out and reached the door, turned his head to the class teacher and said: "I wish the child in your belly is like me, having life but no one to raise!"

  These words are vicious, and the head teacher's face turned green on the spot. "Get out! Get out of here!"

  Zi Ke walked out without saying a word. His former classmates had already gone to high school, and he himself had only stayed in this class for half a year after re-reading.

  Although I dropped out of school, I got my junior high school graduation certificate last year, so it shouldn't be a problem for the art school.

  Qī Huì walked out of the campus with a clear and refreshing spirit, unable to hold back his loud shout: "Ah! I'm free!"

  Passersby cast sideways glances at him, and some even whispered that he must have been driven mad by the pressure of getting into a good school.

  Zi Ke ignored other people's gaze and rode his bicycle wildly on the road, soon arriving at the Beifang Piano Store.

  Hu Yinlin was busy introducing the guqin to guests when he saw Qi Hui come in and invited him to sit down.

  Zhi Kai had already gotten used to it, picked up a guitar and found a place to practice by himself.

  Hú Yìlín quickly finished his work and walked over.

  Kan Qizhui was playing a tune of unknown origin and asked: "Is this your own original work?"

  "Hmm!" Qi Hui said: "I used the phrase from Liu Sanbian's 'Rain Lin Bell, Cold Cicada Qiqie', will it do?"

  "Hu Yinlin smiled and said: 'Alright, I don't expect you to win the championship either. As long as you can get into the top ten, it's fine! I'll help you find an art school then!'"

  Qī Huì nodded, then sang a duet with Hú Yèlín, and this singing even brought out Hú Yèlín's "girl" friend.

  Hu Yinlin's "girlfriend" is called Xiao Yue, a cute girl with brown hair, wearing a white sweater, standing quietly beside Hu Yinlin.

  The new composition of Qi Wei's song is still playable, and the lyrics are also from the textbook Song Ci, overall it's still quite smooth.

  Hú Yīn Lín listened and nodded slightly, "The melody is classical, the tune is still good, although it's a bit short of being elegant, but it can still make people's mouth water."

  Hearing the teacher's praise, Qi Hui was very happy.

  "It's a pity that your prelude and interlude are too simple, especially the interlude. The solo is basically just a shadow of the prelude, which is not desirable and doesn't give people a bright feeling."

  "Hu Yinlin pointed out: 'Also, your rap part can't be too showy, otherwise the rhythm of your singing will easily become unstable.'"

  Ziqi seemed to understand but didn't really understand, so he immediately humbly sought guidance.

  After a day of guidance from Hu Yinlin, Qi Hui's final performance was much more 'refined' than his previous performances.

  At night, Qi Hui returned home, and his father, Qi Tianming, had not yet come back.

  Zi Hui returned to the bedroom and fell asleep after listening to a song by Bae Jong-ok.

  For three consecutive days, Qi Kei left home at his usual school time and headed to Beifang Qinyuan.

  It's okay to come home late at night as long as it's before 11 o'clock.

  On January 10th, the second national finger-style guitar competition was held in Long City.

  The competition has a preliminary round in the provincial capital of each province across the country. Although Long City is the final city, it also needs to hold a preliminary round because it is the provincial capital, and the competition venue is located at Wuyi Square.

  Zi Ke followed Hu Yinlin by train from Jiacheng to Longcheng City May Day Square, when the preliminary round had already begun.

  Hu Yinlin's calm and unhurried demeanor made Qi Hui extremely anxious.

  "Teacher Hu, shouldn't we hurry up?"

  Zi Hui's face was full of confusion, looking at Hu Yinlin.

  Hu Yinlin smiled but did not speak.

  Longcheng Railway Station is only over 200 meters away from Wuyi Square, very close, but there is a nearly 50-meter-wide Yingze Avenue in between.

  Yingze Avenue is a newly renovated eight-lane road with cars coming and going constantly. To cross this street, you have to stop three times in the middle.

  After finally crossing the street, Hu Yilin still wanted to go to KFC to buy a hamburger.

  "My god! Is this wrong? The registration time is almost over!"

  Zi Ke couldn't help but complain.

  Hu Yinlin said calmly: "I didn't eat breakfast this morning, are you going to eat? Come on and have some too?"

  Zi Ke was completely speechless and turned his head away, ignoring Hu Yinlin.

  "What a child!" Hu Yinlin laughed: "If you want to achieve something in music, you must go through the grind of competition, get familiar with the 'door' way, understand the rules, and then you can 'mix' it up!"

  Qī Huì Mò didn't say a word, but in his heart, he was secretly complaining. What rules does this competition need? When I was young and participated in competitions, no one mentioned any rules.

  At ten o'clock, Qi Hui finally arrived at Wuyi Square.

  The people at the registration point formed a long queue, one by one dressed up as if they were going to perform, with many having long hair down their shoulders.

  There are also some 'girls' in the team, and their dressing is also varied and peculiar.

  But just as Qi Hui was about to give up on continuing to observe his opponent.

  A beautiful figure appeared in Qi Ke's eyes.

  Wearing white, beautiful and elegant, slender waist, long legs, buttocks high and plump.

  No matter how you look at it, this is indeed a top-notch item!

  This fleeting glance was enough to throw Qi Heng's mind into chaos and his emotions into turmoil.

  "Let's go, stop watching!"

  Hu Yinlin looked at Qi Wei's silly expression and patted his shoulder with a sly smile.

  Zi Ke's face suddenly turned red and his ears were burning, being guessed at by others was really uncomfortable.

  Looking at the crowded stadium, Qi Kei was a bit blind and didn't know how to make a move.

  Then he turned around and looked at Hu Yilin with a sincere expression.

  Hu Yinlin smiled complacently and thought to himself: Hey, you little brat still needs my help!

  "Come on! Follow me!"

  As he spoke, Hu Yinlin took Qi Wei to the registration point and didn't line up, but instead went directly to the back of the registration point.

  The registration point is an open table outside, but behind the registration point, there is a activity room.

  Hu Yinlin walked into the activity room, and Qi Ke followed in with a puzzled expression.

  "Haha! Old bear, I'm here!"

  Hu Yinlin rushed into the house and threw himself at a big fat man who looked like he weighed around 180 pounds.

  Zhi Kei was shocked, could it be that Hu Yinlin had a connection?

  Is this the legendary dark curtain? Backstage manipulation?

  Hu Yinlin was slender and pale-faced, in front of this chubby person, he looked like a victim.

  "You're also joining the competition? Isn't this a slap in our face?"

  Xiong Baozi smiled and his eyes passed over Hu Yinlin, looking towards Qi Peng.

  "No, it's my apprentice, Qi Hui, who has come to participate. I brought him here to take a look and see if we can take a shortcut!"

  Xiong Baozi frowned, looked at Qi Lei, and then turned to Hu Yinlin.

  "Tiger! Not me saying this, there's a rule for it. I'm only in charge of registration here, you apprentice, have to rely on your skills!"

  Hu Yinlin's eyes widened and he took several steps back, creating some distance between himself and Xiong Baozi.

  Qī Huì thought Hú Yèlín was angry and hastily said: "Teacher, I won't use the hidden box!"

  "Who says I'm going to be in the dark?"

  Hu Yinlin looked at Qi Wei and Xiong Baozi with anger.

  "I just wanted to see if you can come for the match this afternoon, let's go have lunch and catch up at noon. I'm looking for you now because I'm afraid it'll be too late in the afternoon, and after signing up, we still need to wait!"

  Zi Ke and Xiong Baozi suddenly let out a sigh of relief, so that's what it meant.

  Xiong Baozi looked at Hu Yinlin apologetically: "Ah, it seems I misunderstood you! No problem, I'll go get a registration form now, wait for me."

  Xiong Baozi walked out, Qi Ke looked at Hu Yinlin with embarrassment, but Hu Yinlin didn't have any reaction.

  Hu Yinlin plopped down on the only chair in the room, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, without caring if the other person had any infectious diseases.

  Before long, Xiong Baozi came in!

  "Alright, go fill out the form now, remember the number above, sixth appearance this afternoon!"

  "Hey, how many more scenes can you guys drag out?"

  Hu Yinlin said with a sly smile, wondering what kind of trick he was thinking of again.

  "That's right!"

  Xiong Baozi said nonchalantly: "You don't know, these numbers are fixed. No matter how many steps you take in the morning or afternoon, there's a set number!"

  "Oh! Like this!" Hu Yinlin's eyes rolled around and pulled Xiong Wu Zi to the side of the 'door'!

  "Hey, look at that chick, can she be allowed to compete behind my apprentice?"

  "No problem!" said Xiong Buzi, patting his chest and walking out.

  Zi Hui curiously looked outside and saw that the bear handed a registration form to the 'goddess' sister paper he had just been staring at.

  Then he talked to the 'goddess' for half a day, and the 'goddess' smiled and nodded repeatedly.

  It seems like he was saying thank you to Xiong Shuai, but many people in the queue heard it and immediately showed dissatisfaction.

  But looking at Xiong Buzi's physique, everyone else just shut up and didn't say anything more.

  "Oh dear, thank you so much! Now I won't have to wait in line for that long!"

  The goddess looked at Xiong Buzi and stuffed the registration form into her bag, saying with a smile.

  Xiong Baozi is familiar with this kind of thing, because his silly appearance makes him look like a good person.

  "Oh dear, it's hot outside. How about this? You come inside to fill out the form, fill it out and give it to me, then you can enter directly with the attachment in the afternoon! OK?"

  "Good!"

  The goddess followed Xiong Xiaozi into the activity room without saying a word.

  Qí Kuì looked at the girl walking in and couldn't help but stare, his admiration for Xióng Wēnzi was like a boundless river, overflowing with emotion.

  Xiong Baozi walked ahead, as soon as he entered the 'door', he winked at Qi Ke and Hu Zhenlin.

  Hu Yinlin smiled but didn't speak. When Xiong Baozi walked past Qi Peng, he said in a low voice: "Learn from your brother and be more clever, seize the opportunity!"

  Qí Huì's face suddenly lit up with a smile, and he nodded his head. The goddess saw this smile and couldn't help but furrow her brow, thinking to herself: "Why is this person smiling so lewdly?"
