They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Many chapters are worth reading carefully, word by word, and often contain many hidden jokes and humorous moments.

Because of its niche subject matter and unconventional writing style, my audience is not wide. This book was released with a subscription of 5,000 copies, without even a discount.

I've never had the habit of writing books based on trending topics. In fact, I could easily write about the currently popular "leaving the team" or "chasing after the husband" stories, or even go back to my old profession and write about yuri (adult content), which I'm quite good at.

Writing something that's considered "complex, unconventional, and novel" by most people might not guarantee a hit, but it would definitely be easier to make money than this book.

But right now, I just want to write what I like, nothing more.

Tonight at midnight, a massive ten-chapter update will be released! The school festival officially begins, packed with activities and hilarious moments—I hope it won't disappoint!

The current campus chapters are just an appetizer; Lin Han is constrained by too many restrictions imposed by the "college entrance examination" and is unable to exert his full strength.

After Lin Han graduates and officially enters the entertainment industry, the storyline will become increasingly interesting.

By the way, I'm asking for subscriptions, monthly tickets, rewards, and anything else. If Yan Di is available, I'll grind for another 10 chapters for a massive update.

Autumn pear cream!

I'll be posting this on Twitter tomorrow, and I would be extremely grateful if someone could write a long review.

I won't say more, I've written so much without realizing it, enough for me to write another chapter, damn it!

In conclusion, thank you all for your continued support!

Please continue to support us in the days to come!

043. Let's play "Blue and White Porcelain"!

Lin Han's heart tightened, and he almost played the wrong key on the piano.

He quickly used "Forced Calm" to calm himself down, so as not to make a mistake.

That statement quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"Haha, it seems that's really true!"

"So you like marmalade too?"

"The new song 'Blue and White Porcelain' is forever amazing! I've been listening to it on repeat for three days straight!"

The students immediately started talking, happily discussing the topic of marmalade.

Although everyone did think that Lin Han's hands did resemble Orange Jam's somewhat, they were all just joking and teasing him.

After all, just having a pair of hands doesn't prove anything.

Is that musical genius Orange Jam, who wrote "Lovely Woman" and "Blue and White Porcelain," the same age as me, and even went to the same school?

Is he even playing the piano right in front of me now?

How can it be!

What a coincidence!

We're not stupid!

Lin Han finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that everyone wasn't taking it seriously.

He then performed world-famous pieces such as "Autumn Whispers," "Canon," "Kikujiro's Summer," and "Moonlight over Capri."

Every song was one that no one had ever heard before, and every song was so captivating.

Fortunately, none of the students present knew anything about the piano; they were simply listening to the music by feel. They just thought it sounded incredibly beautiful, without realizing how amazing the pieces were. Otherwise, they would have been astonished at where Lin Han's pieces came from and would have considered him a contemporary musician!

Thanks to Lin Han's tireless efforts, the students finally stopped talking about the orange marmalade and began to appreciate Lin Han's music instead.

Everyone laughed and joked around, and that was the end of it.

However, there are still people who took those words to heart.

Cen Sisi.

At that moment, the girl stared intently at Lin Han's hand.

In fact, she had been listening to Orange Jam's songs for several days.

For some reason, every time she heard the song "Lovely Woman," she would think of Lin Han. She always felt that the song was tailor-made for her because Lin Han had always said that she liked her cuteness the most.

When watching the video of Orange Jam singing and playing guitar, she felt a strong sense of familiarity.

Those hands, those piano-playing movements... they're all so similar!

When this thought popped into Cen Sisi's mind, her thoughts were no longer on the coffee.

　Finally, when Cen Sisi delivered the coffee to a table of guests near Lin Han, she quickly went over to them.

"Lin Han, play 'Blue and White Porcelain'!" Cen Sisi said.

Lin Han looked at Cen Sisi in surprise.

"Yes, let's play 'Blue and White Porcelain'!" the guests next to him immediately cheered.

"Yes, yes, we want to hear about blue and white porcelain!"

"Big brother, please, please sing me a song!!"

Many students started to cheer, and as a popular song at the moment, "Blue and White Porcelain" is really loved by young people.

Just as Lin Han was about to refuse, Qiao Qiao said from a distance:

"Sisi, Lin Han doesn't like this song, so don't make things difficult for him!"

Upon hearing this, a nearby guest immediately remarked, "If you don't like it, it means you've definitely heard of it before!"

"Yes, yes, since you've heard it before, why not play it? There's no harm in it!"

　"You're such a good pianist, playing 'Blue and White Porcelain' shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"Your coffee is so expensive, people come here specifically to buy from you!"

This immediately put Lin Han in the spotlight.

Lin Han was under immense pressure!

　Playing "Blue and White Porcelain" is not difficult; the real problem is that if I actually play it, people will recognize me, which would be quite troublesome, especially since someone just mentioned that I look like the character.

However, when faced with such aggressive demands from guests, a simple refusal would certainly be ineffective.

Just when Lin Han was at his wit's end, the system appeared.

[A choice has been detected for the host. Three options are now provided for the host to choose from.]

Option 1: Refuse to perform and declare that you are mortal enemies with "Orange Jam". Completion Reward: Physical Attack +3, Agility +3

[Option 2: Politely dismiss the audience by saying, "You motherfucker, just listen to Old Bullet and stop barking!" Completion Reward: Agility +5]

Option 3: Perform the entire piece, "Blue and White Porcelain," on a piano. Reward: [Piano Skill Card] upgraded to [Advanced], Luck +10.

Lin Han realized that the system was determined to mess with him.

Just playing the instrument isn't enough; you have to sing it yourself!

Lin Han felt that either of these two options would result in him being beaten up!

More importantly, if Lin Han angers the guests and they leave, the betting agreement will inevitably be lost, and Zhao Chuanxiong will definitely come to settle accounts with him.

After a moment's thought, Lin Han finally spoke slowly: "Alright."

The students immediately cheered, "Yay!!"

Lin Han took out his phone, pretended to search for the sheet music for "Blue and White Porcelain," and then placed it at the front. If he were to perform it directly, it would be hard not to arouse suspicion.

Lin Han began to play.

The soothing sound of the piano began to echo in the classroom, and all the students consciously kept quiet.

Then, Lin Han quickly switched his voice:

"The unglazed porcelain is outlined with blue and white brushstrokes, the ink thickening and then fading."

The peony depicted on the bottle is just like your first makeup~

The scent of sandalwood comes through the window and I understand my thoughts,

The brush strokes on the Xuan paper stopped halfway here.

Everyone was stunned; they never expected Lin Han to start singing.

And...it sounds really good!

Cen Sisi immediately showed a look of disappointment.

Although it sounds nice, it's completely different from the timbre of Orange Jam!

It seems I was just being delusional...

In fact, this was due to Lin Han's skillful use of bel canto techniques.

All the songs he sang before were slight imitations of Jay Chou's early singing voice, which was a bit deep and husky, giving people a deep feeling.

This time, Lin Han used JJ Lin's voice.

Compared to Jay Chou, JJ Lin's voice has a captivating, natural, and harmonious metallic luster.

Singing high notes without sounding scattered, low notes without sounding strained, loud voices without sounding harsh, and soft voices without sounding weak. Even with very little breath, the sound produced remains focused, well-defined, and full of luster—this is actually a very skillful resonance technique.

Lin Han, with her superb bel canto skills, easily mastered JJ Lin's technique.

This version of "Blue and White Porcelain" lacks some of the original's depth and weight, but it has a more delicate feel.

Students passing by in the corridor heard someone singing "Blue and White Porcelain" so beautifully and quickly gathered around.

There were already a lot of people listening to music outside the windows, and this made the corridor even more crowded, with the number of people only increasing!

"Wow, this is on par with the original singer!"

"No, no, it's nowhere near as good as Marmalade, but it's really good!"

"Holy crap, he's so damn handsome! Even I have to give him a wide berth!"

"Help! My ears are pregnant! Can he make my belly pregnant too?"

044. I am not a God of Rolls

When Zhao Chuanxiong, the student council president, was patrolling the playground, he suddenly saw from afar that the entire teaching building across the street was empty, with countless students crammed into the doorway of a classroom.

Zhao Chuanxiong immediately asked the secretary next to him, "Which class is in that classroom across the street?"

The girl next to her immediately laughed and replied, "That's Class 3 of Senior Three. The piano prince is performing inside."

"The Piano Prince??" Zhao Chuanxiong was stunned.

"Yeah, the piano prince is absolutely stunning! He plays the piano beautifully, sings wonderfully, speaks with a gentle voice, and his smile is incredibly soothing!" The secretary said shyly, hugging her chest.

Is it possible that he was referring to Lin Han?

Zhao Chuanxiong was amused.

You boy!

It certainly didn't disappoint me!

However, Zhao Chuanxiong still said, "It's too unsightly for the whole building to be crammed into the doorway of one classroom. What about the other classes that are putting so much effort into preparing their programs? I'll go tell Lin Han later that he can rest this afternoon after he finishes this morning."

Upon hearing this, the secretary was overjoyed: "Yes, Chairman, I'll go right now!"

Having said that, the secretary made a hasty retreat to go listen to the song.

"Wait, wait, wait..."

Zhao Chuanxiong pulled the secretary back again.

"what happened?"

"Ahem, tell Lin Han to keep a low voice and not forget the hard work our student council has put in..."

"Oh~" The secretary understood instantly. "Okay, I'll tell him to thank the student council for lending the piano in front of everyone after his performance!"

"right!"

Watching the Party Secretary walk away, Zhao Chuanxiong was overjoyed.

This is definitely the most successful loan ever done by the student council!
