This top-tier academic genius

No one expected that, while everyone was enjoying the spectacle, Lin Yan suddenly wanted to sign up.

The students initially thought Lin Yan was just joking, but they didn't expect him to actually walk to the registration area.

Qin Zhengyan knew that Lin Yan had previously worked in the entertainment industry, and he thought that Lin Yan's mind had returned to his studies. He didn't expect that Lin Yan would suddenly want to enroll in school.

At this moment, Qin Zhengyan panicked a little.

In Qin Zhengyan's view, Lin Yan has mathematical talent and is a very rare and promising talent. With a little training, he is fully capable of entering the CMO national team, being recommended to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, and embarking on a path of mathematical research.

However, Lin Yan now wants to sign up for the audition and also wants to pursue an entertainment career, which will inevitably divert his energy and hinder his mathematical talent.

Such a promising talent, what a waste!

This is something Qin Zhengyan does not want to see.

However, Lin Yan had already arrived at the registration area.

"Hello, what are the requirements for registering for the preliminary audition?"

"Anyone can."

The young female staff member at the registration desk turned her head, and her eyes instantly lit up.

[What a handsome young man!]

"Young man, you want to register? Here, just fill out this form."

"OK, thanks."

"You're welcome. Feel free to ask me if you don't know how to fill it out."

The application form is very simple; it just contains some basic information. It's impossible not to know how to fill it out.

Lin Yan quickly filled out the form, and the staff gave him a number to stick on his chest. He just needed to wait in line for his number to be called.

Seeing that Lin Yan had actually signed up, Qin Zhengyan opened his mouth, but then hesitated and stopped himself from speaking.

"Never mind, let's talk about it privately later."

Li Jia: "How about we sign up and participate too?"

"Okay, okay!" Xu Han, a first-year high school student, was the first to respond.

Students are at an age where they love to play and join in the fun; they just want to have fun.

Then, the two teachers watched as several students, except for Wang Mingchao, filled out the registration forms.

Wang Mingchao didn't go because he was still muttering to himself, "Weren't we supposed to go to a bar..."

The talent show was a lot of fun because there were so many amazing people there.

There are many people dressed strangely and in bizarre costumes.

Ahead of Lin Yan was a contestant with a flamboyant, punk-style look. He was wearing a denim outfit covered in small chains, and was as thin as a bamboo pole. Every few seconds, he would adjust the green hair on his forehead, looking like he was the most handsome man in the world.

Seeing all the laughs from the other contestants made queuing less boring.

Finally, it was time for the contestant in front of Lin Yan to go on stage.

There are three judges on stage.

The man in the middle, around thirty years old, is Han Dong, one of the casting directors for the show; the young woman on the left is Pan Rui, one of the top eight contestants from previous episodes; the judge on the right is also a man, He Yunting, a singer and musician, known in the industry but not so much outside of it.

Han Dong: "Next."

The punk-style guy lightly tossed his long hair and walked onto the stage.

The retro, non-mainstream style, reminiscent of a decade or so ago, immediately drew laughter, and the three judges smiled wryly in response.

Fortunately, their eyes have already been subjected to many glaring shocks, so they won't laugh out loud no matter how funny it is, unless they can't help it.

"Contestant number 67, please begin your performance."

The punk guy tossed his hair again, "Today I brought... uh, I brought... today I brought a song called 'Pot,' a song about thanking someone myself..."

The crowd immediately burst into laughter.

He Yunting's forehead furrowed into a deep frown: "Please begin your performance."

Standing in front of the microphone, the punk guy pointed his right hand to the sky, struck what he thought was an extremely cool pose, and then started singing and dancing.

"Rubbing... rubbing... rubbing back and forth, up and down... rubbing... rubbing..."

Pan Rui, one of the judges, couldn't help but burst out laughing. Soon after, the other two judges also couldn't hold back their laughter and raised the "Eliminated" sign together.

However, the contestants on stage seemed oblivious and continued to fumble around.

The crowd burst into laughter, and Lin Yan's smile never faded.

I must say, this guy is a real entertainer, he's got some serious talent, he's bound to become famous!

The judges had no choice but to interrupt the still energetic performance of the punk guy and ask him to leave the stage.

Han Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there were too many amazing people today.

"Next!"

As Lin Yan slowly walked onto the stage, the three judges suddenly felt a sense of relief and comfort.

Finally, a normal person arrived, and he was a very handsome young man at that.

The audience also exclaimed that the contestant was very good-looking.

Pan Rui spoke first: "Hello, contestant number 68, please introduce yourself."

Nobody cared about her double standards; those who were good-looking got a chance to introduce themselves, while those who weren't good-looking were forced to start performing right away.

Lin Yan walked to the microphone and said in a calm voice, "Hello, three hosts. My name is Lin Yan, and I am a senior high school student."

He Yunting: "Oh, you're still a student, that's good. What song would you like to sing today?"

Lin Yan: "A song I wrote myself."

Upon hearing the original song, all three judges felt a pang of unease; it was another original song.

What they fear most is original music. I've already heard several original songs today, and the overall feeling is that they're just an eyesore.

Han Dong initially wanted to advise contestant number 68 to sing something else, but after thinking about it, he ultimately respected the contestant's choice and said, "Please begin!"

"Do you have a guitar?" Lin Yan asked.

Soon, a staff member brought over a guitar and a chair.

Lin Yan sat in the chair, picked up the guitar and tested the sound. This action reassured the three judges, because they could tell that this contestant knew how to play the guitar.

As the sound of a guitar drifted in, Lin Yan's singing voice slowly began to rise.

Will you remember tomorrow?

Your diary entry from yesterday

Will you still be thinking about tomorrow?

You who used to cry the most

......

As soon as she opened her mouth, the three judges' eyes lit up again; she had a good voice and sang quite well.

However, this was just the beginning. As the song continued, the judges and audience gradually became immersed in the scene depicted in the song and felt a resonance within them.

At this moment, it seemed as if only Lin Yan's singing and guitar music existed on and around the stage.

That's right, Lin Yan used the [Singing Empathy Card] and gained the ability to sing a song for 5 minutes and make others empathize with it.

"La...la..."

La...la..."

When the singing stopped, there was a brief silence in the room, followed by enthusiastic applause.

The three judges also realized what was happening.

Pan Rui clapped her hands and said, "It sounds beautiful, really beautiful."

Han Dong and He Yunting nodded and clapped.

The singing had captivated them, as if they had returned to their student days, recalling those precious years that could never be relived.

He Yunting: "Hello, Lin Yan, right? I have a question. What's the name of the song you just sang? I think I saw it on a short video platform before."

Lin Yan put down his guitar, picked up the microphone, and said, "This song is called 'My Deskmate,' and the one you saw online is probably me."

"So it really was you. I saw it on the app too." Pan Rui's voice was quite loud, as expected of someone who likes to sing high notes.

Unexpectedly, a truly talented contestant finally appeared at the audition.
