The song "The Actor" at the beginning stunned me with its portrayal of the aloof school be

soon.

Xu Wenshan's comment was posted on a music forum.

It was moved to a short video platform.

It was moved to the wall of Jiangcheng University campus.

Even a Chinese language teacher shared it.

The caption was only one sentence.

"This is the ability to present professional knowledge in a way that appeals to the general public."

The comments section exploded again.

Jiang Che: I'll sing a song. Expert: There's a logic to the firing process of Ru ware from the Song Dynasty in this. Netizen: Huh?

"Hahaha, this is hilarious, but it's truly shocking."

"Is this what they call cultural subversion?"

"After tonight, who will dare say Jiang Che lacks cultural refinement!"

"Should this song, 'Blue and White Porcelain,' really be included in textbooks?"

"I can already imagine the reading comprehension question: Please analyze the word 'wait' in the phrase 'wait for the rain' in the sentence 'The sky is blue.'"

"Stop talking, I'm starting to get scared."

"It may be scary, but it really deserves to be included in textbooks."

Qin Lie also forwarded Xu Wenshan's comment.

Only four characters were written.

"Been taught a lesson."

These four words came out.

The music industry is shaken once again.

Who is Qin Lie?

A legendary singer-songwriter.

They've won so many Golden Melody Awards they're practically overwhelmed.

Many newcomers can boast about it for a year if they receive even a single "not bad" from him.

He is now publicly sharing an analysis of "Blue and White Porcelain" by a Ru kiln expert.

He also wrote "I have learned something".

The significance of this is self-evident.

Shen Yan then reposted it.

"The porcelain craftsman waits for the misty rain, the singer waits for an old friend. The same word 'wait,' two lines joined together, this word is frighteningly subtle."

It's even simpler for Cheng Xue to forward it.

"It sounds beautiful the first time I listen to it, but after listening to the analysis and listening again, my heart aches."

All three mentors came down on stage at the same time.

The popularity of "Blue and White Porcelain" has reached another level.

Many casual viewers who hadn't watched the show before clicked on the video because of this professional analysis.

Then they couldn't get out.

"I originally wanted to see how the Ru ware experts would praise it, but I ended up watching it on repeat ten times."

"I admit, I was lured in by the cultural analysis, but I ended up being captivated by Jiang Che's voice."

"This song really gets better the more you listen to it."

"I now declare that 'Blue and White Porcelain' is the best song I've heard this year."

"This year? Be bold, the last decade."

"Stop arguing, just wait for the official audio release, I'll put it on repeat."

Jiang Che's name has completely broken into the mainstream thanks to the championship, the song "Blue and White Porcelain," and this cross-cultural interpretation.

He is no longer just a variety show champion.

He began to be discussed as a new generation of leading figure in the Chinese music scene.

The school walls were also not idle.

The back-end messages on the Jiangcheng University campus wall went viral.

When the administrator refreshed the page, they almost dropped their phone in fright.

Submissions kept coming in.

[Wall! Jiang Che from our school won the championship! All Jiang students, come out and be proud!]

[Does anyone understand?! I went to the same school as Jiang Che! I feel like my diploma is more valuable now!]

Before, when people asked me what Jiangcheng University was like, I'd say the chicken cutlet rice on the third floor of the cafeteria was alright. Now, when people ask me, I just say Jiang Che is my alumnus!

[The music department must have had some incredible luck!]

To be precise, the music department has dropped a bombshell this time.

[Even Mr. Xu Wenshan has come out to praise "Blue and White Porcelain," Jiang Che's cultural export efforts are off the charts.]

The phrase "The sky is the color of rain, waiting for the misty rain" really has a story behind it; now I get goosebumps just hearing it.

Does anyone know when Jiang Che will return to school? I'd like to wait around for a bit, just to catch a glimpse from a distance, without disturbing him.

[I was there that night at the school anniversary celebration! I declare myself a longtime fan of Jiang Che!]

Don't grab it, me too!

Who was it that said Jiang Che was a corner player back then? Now the corner player has become the throne.

The comments section on the school wall is even more outrageous.

"I suggest the school erect a monument for Jiang Che overnight."

"Erecting a monument is considered unlucky; I suggest changing it to a statue."

"A blue-and-white porcelain sculpture was placed at the entrance of the music building, with an inscription next to it that Jiang Che once took classes here."

"This is hilarious, a tourist hotspot, huh?"

"Believe it or not, some people actually go and check in there."

"Jiang Che is now the face of Jiangcheng University, isn't he?"

"The principal is probably laughing in his dreams."

At this time.

In the principal's office.

The president of Jiangcheng University looked at the trending topics, the campus walls, and the major media outlets frantically reprinting the words "Jiang Che, Department of Music, Jiangcheng University".

He was indeed grinning from ear to ear.

He walked back and forth several times with his thermos in his hand.

"OK."

"Very good."

"This child has brought honor to the school!"

The head of the music department next to him was practically grinning from ear to ear.

"Principal, I've said for a long time that Jiang Che has potential."

The deputy director next to him glanced at him.

"That's not what you said before."

The head of the music department coughed.

"That's called strict requirements."

"The more potential a student has, the stricter we should be with them."

Deputy Director: "..."

as long as you are happy.

......

Wang Haoran has completely entered the peak of his life.

Jiang Che has not returned to school yet.

He had already enjoyed the privilege of being a champion roommate at school.

People ask him questions even when he's walking down the street.

"Wang Haoran, are you really Jiang Che's roommate?"

Wang Haoran raised his chin.

"Genuine or genuine."

"We lived in the same dormitory for three years, and our beds were all next to each other."

Was Jiang Che already quite skilled back in the dorm?

Wang Haoran didn't even think about it.

"That must be amazing."

"I saw it coming a long time ago."

Someone nearby looked puzzled.

"But didn't you say on the day of the school anniversary celebration that it was all over and that Jiang Che shouldn't go on stage?"

Wang Haoran's face stiffened.

Then he said in a very serious tone.

"What do you know?"

"That's called creating a good show effect."

"I'm helping him lower his expectations."

"Do you understand the concept of 'first suppressing, then elevating'?"

"Without my groundwork back then, would Jiang Che have had such a great time singing 'The Actor'?"

The surrounding students remained silent.

Good guy.

How can this be made up?

Wang Haoran became more and more smug as he spoke.

"Let me tell you, Jiang Che is usually a very low-key person."

"He doesn't like to pretend."

"So, this job has to be done by my brother."

"If you want to inquire about Jiang Che in the future, you can contact me."

"But don't ask me for an autograph."

"I don't have any either."

"If I had one, I'd frame it myself first."

A group of classmates burst into laughter at his words.

"Fatty, you're really getting cocky now."

Wang Haoran waved his hand.

"That's not called drifting."

"This is called sharing in the glory."

"My brother's awesome, what's wrong with me being a little proud?"

That statement was made with complete confidence.

No one really disagreed.

After all, Jiang Che is truly amazing.

......

The next afternoon.

Jiang Che went back to school.

He didn't notify too many people in advance.

I simply took a bus to the school gate, got off with a simple suitcase.

But after walking just a few steps into the school gate, they realized something was wrong.

A group of students not far away all looked over.

First, there was silence.

Then someone whispered something.

"Jiang Che?"

next second.

The entire school gate erupted in chaos.

"Jiang Che is back!"

Holy crap! It's a real person!

"Jiang Shen!"

"The champion is back at school!"

"Quickly! Post this on the school's online forum!"

"Jiang Che, look this way!"

Jiang Che paused in his steps.

Looking at the students who suddenly surrounded him, he felt for the first time that he had underestimated the impact of this championship on the campus.

Wang Haoran suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Despite weighing 180 pounds, he ran with the spirit of a sprinter.

"brother!"

"You're finally back!"

He took Jiang Che's suitcase from him and used his other hand to protect Jiang Che.

"Make way, everyone!"

"My brother just finished a competition, he's exhausted!"

"We'll talk about signing later!"

"Taking photos is fine, but don't zoom in on my face!"

"Hey, hey, you're about to poke his nose with your phone!"

Jiang Che couldn't help but laugh as he watched Wang Haoran skillfully control the situation.

"You're quite professional."

Wang Haoran said smugly.

"Absolutely."

"I am now your temporary manager, bodyguard, and fan club leader."

Jiang Che: "What about your salary?"

Wang Haoran: "Just treat me to chicken cutlet rice on the third floor of the cafeteria."

Jiang Che nodded.

"Has ambition."

The two talked as they walked toward the dormitory.

Although the surrounding students were excited, most of them remained restrained.

They just take pictures from afar, or shout "Jiang Che, keep going!"

Jiang Che would nod in response.

This feeling is different from being on the set of the show.

This is a school.

It was the place where the original owner stayed for three years.

The people here have seen his low-key and unassuming self, as well as his overnight fame.

This change is quite remarkable.

When we got near the music building.

A figure stood under the tree.

Lin Wei.

She was wearing a white coat, and her face looked much more haggard than before.

When she saw Jiang Che appear, her eyes lit up noticeably.

She instinctively took a step forward.

"Jiang Che..."

The sound was very soft.

With a touch of caution.

The students who were initially noisy instantly quieted down.

Many people recognized Lin Wei.

My ex-girlfriend from the night of the school anniversary celebration.

The person in "The Ugly Duckling".

The person who once dumped Jiang Che, only to be repeatedly humiliated and eliminated by Jiang Che.

Many people at the scene started watching the drama unfold.

"Holy crap, it's Lin Wei."

"How dare she come looking for Jiang Che?"

"This woman has a really strong mentality."

"If it were me, I would have crawled into a hole in the ground long ago."

Lin Wei's face turned even paler upon hearing the surrounding whispers.

But she was still looking at Jiang Che.

She thought Jiang Che would be in a good mood since he had just won the championship.

She thought that if she went forward at this moment, she could at least say a word.

However, Jiang Che only glanced at her.

That look was cold.

There was no anger.

It wasn't to the point of losing control due to disgust.

There was no lingering affection for her.

There is only one kind of utter indifference.

It's like looking at a complete stranger.

Lin Wei's foot, which had just stepped out, abruptly stopped in place.

She swallowed all the words that were on her throat.

Jiang Che did not speak.

He couldn't be bothered to give a single word.

When Wang Haoran saw Lin Wei, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

He rolled his eyes in a very obvious way.

He rolled his eyes very hard.

They were even afraid that others wouldn't see them.

"Yo."

"Isn't this the first sword strike after landing?"

Several students around couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Wei's face instantly turned red.

Wang Haoran, however, showed her absolutely no respect.

He grabbed Jiang Che's arm.

"Let's go, let's go."

"Hey bro, the cafeteria's chicken cutlet rice is almost sold out."

"Don't waste your time here."

"Some people lose their appetite just by looking at them."

Jiang Che did not refute.

He didn't look back.

He let Wang Haoran pull him forward.

Lin Wei stood there, watching the two figures disappear into the distance.

The surrounding whispers and murmurs felt like needles pricking at me.

Jiang Che really didn't want to talk to her.

"Nonsense, it was all taken down by 'Ugly Monster,' what more do you want?"

She probably thought Jiang Che would soften his heart.

"Stop joking around. What's Jiang Che's status now? And who is she?"

"If only I had known then what I know now."

Lin Wei clenched her fingers.

Her eyes gradually reddened.

But this time, no one felt sorry for her.

Jiang Che walked further and further away.

Wang Haoran kept muttering to himself as he pulled his suitcase.

"Brother, let me tell you something."

"Don't bother with people like that in the future."

"You're the champion now."

"A new hope for the Chinese music scene."

"To say even a single word to someone like that is disrespectful to 'Blue and White Porcelain'."

Jiang Che found it somewhat amusing.

"You're quite good at labeling people."

Wang Haoran spoke with righteous indignation.

"Absolutely."

"I'm now the champion roommate."

"Once you've risen in status, you also need to broaden your perspective."

Jiang Che smiled and shook his head.

The two walked towards the cafeteria.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves.

People are still secretly taking pictures of him on campus.

People were still calling his name quietly.

Jiang Che suddenly felt very relaxed at this moment.

The variety show has ended.

We won the championship.

The old grudges have been completely settled.

The road ahead for him is even longer.

He's no longer just a variety show champion.

He is no longer just a music student at Jiangcheng University.

starting today.

He wants to truly step into the world of entertainment.

Then step by step.

Write your name at the highest point.

......

The third floor of the cafeteria.

There was a long queue in front of the chicken cutlet rice window.

Jiang Che and Wang Haoran sat in the corner.

A champion.

A champion roommate.

Each of them had a serving of chicken cutlet rice in front of them.

Wang Haoran ate with his mouth full of oil, but he didn't forget to use his phone to paint the campus wall.

"Dude, you're really hot now."

"Nine out of ten submissions to the school wall are from you."

"The last question is why the price of the chicken cutlet rice on the third floor of the cafeteria has increased."

"I reckon this has something to do with you too."

Jiang Che picked up a piece of chicken cutlet and looked up at him.

"Can you blame me for the price increase of chicken cutlet rice?"

Wang Haoran nodded seriously.

"certainly."

"As soon as you came back, the whole school rushed to the third floor."

"When the boss saw the surge in customer traffic, he immediately raised the price by one dollar."

"Don't you think it's your fault?"

Jiang Che almost laughed out of anger at his twisted logic.

"Then don't eat it."

Wang Haoran immediately shielded his plate in front of him.

"That won't work."

You can question my logic.

"But you can't touch my chicken cutlet."

Jiang Che shook his head.

The fat guy is still the same fat guy.

Whether he's a champion or not, it doesn't seem to have changed much for him.

At most, they just become more assertive when bragging.

Wang Haoran is still painting the school walls.

"Look at this."

"Someone submitted a post saying they wanted the school to rename the music building Jiang Che Building."

"Some people also said that the chicken cutlet rice on the third floor of the cafeteria should be renamed Champion Chicken Cutlet Rice."

"Hey bro, how about you talk to the cafeteria owner about an endorsement deal?"

Jiang Che glanced at him.

"You really want a free chicken cutlet rice bowl?"

Wang Haoran chuckled.

"The vision is too narrow."

"I want all students to eat chicken cutlet rice with cultural significance."

"Let's call it, 'The sky is blue waiting for the rain, and the chicken cutlet rice is waiting for you.'"

Jiang Che: "..."

He put down his chopsticks and remained silent for two seconds.

"Fatty."

"Um?"

Wang Haoran was still eating his rice with his head down.

Jiang Che looked at him and suddenly asked a question.

Do you want to sing?

Wang Haoran's chopsticks stopped in mid-air.

The chicken cutlet was still sandwiched inside.

It was as if the pause button had been pressed on my whole body.

He raised his head, his eyes widening little by little.

"what?"

Jiang Che asked again.

"Want to sing?"
