Chapter 9 The Dawn of the Edge
There are not many courses in the freshman year, and most of the time is spent on various club organization activities of the school, orientation activities, ideological education activities, selection competitions, etc.
In college, everyone has their own way of living. Some people like to go to the library and swim in the sea of books, some people are keen on group activities and deal with different people, some people are immersed in e-sports, and they spend their days and nights in Internet cafes, and some people try their best to talk to girls. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
Lin Xiao is not yet comfortable with university life, so she tries to learn normal courses first, and then tries to develop hobbies and expertise in her spare time.
In order to convene newcomers, the Propaganda Department of the Department of Computer Science organized an art competition for freshmen.
During the evening self-study, I saw the works of some classmates, including sketches, watercolors, calligraphy, etc., Lin Xiao knew in her heart: her level was higher than theirs!
So he confidently prepared a character painting, depicting the scene of students reading early in the morning, next to the lotus flowers by the lake, the innocence of the heart, and the desire to learn are very delicately portrayed. He prepared very carefully, spent a week, went to the library study room every day after class to draw, revise, and repaint, and finally submitted the work on time.
The head of the Propaganda Department of the department is called Tang Shiwen, a boy, with a pair of fashionable glasses, and he looks polite on the surface. When selecting the works, he took a few student cadres and saw Lin Xiao's works at a glance, which was particularly eye-catching, and exclaimed:
"Combination of virtual and real, meticulous and profound!"
Others also hurriedly chimed in and praised.
Looking at the works of other students, it is obviously a lot inferior.
Tang Shiwen admired it with joy, and finally learned that the author of this painting was actually a boy, and his expression immediately stiffened. I picked a few more works that were okay and roughly determined the shortlist. He checked the list of freshmen and students, and finally made a decision on the award ranking of the work: the beautiful girl was ranked first, and Lin Xiao only won the last place in the second prize.
After the list of winners was announced, the prizes were distributed, and Tang Shiwen summoned them to the Propaganda Department, and then arranged their positions. He has a lot of power, and he arranges beautiful girls to work beside him, revolves around him, usually talks and laughs, chats hotly, and regards the Propaganda Department as a good place for him to flirt and scold.
The new girl is simple and lively, and she is fascinated by this charismatic Minister Tang!
Lin Xiao was arranged to publish a blackboard newspaper, doing chores, and few people usually paid attention to him.
Lin Xiao thought to herself: Looking at the politeness of the culture, but in fact, the stomach is full of flowers, this grandson is a well-dressed beast!
And then he never went again.
That evening, students from both classes studied together.
He Yunling, a member of the cultural and sports committee in the class, stood up and introduced to everyone:
"Students, delay you a little time, let me introduce to you, this is Xie Yibo, the head of the Department of Literature and Art of our department, today came to our class to select outstanding talents in literature and art, I hope you will actively sign up!
The crowd applauded.
Xie Yibo stood up and said hello to everyone:
"Hello students, I'm Xie Yibo, it's a pleasure to meet you! Now that the selection competition begins, students who perform on stage, please write your name on the blackboard. Let's get started!"
Seeing that he was tall, amiable, and gave people a very gentle feeling, the class once again burst into warm applause.
The first one on stage was a girl, "Outside the Window", a little nervous, although the singing voice was not too out of tune, but it was too bland and had no characteristics.
The second one on stage was a boy, "Single Love Song", okay, I feel it.
Although Lin Xiao has not undergone professional study, she is born with a strong voice, suitable for national bel canto, and grew up in the original poor ravine, with a natural majestic beauty. He thought that he was not willing to be mediocre in college, so he decided to give it a try.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Xiao, and the song I sang today is a bit difficult, but it's important to participate!"
Laugh out loud below!
Looking rustic, a little shy, and boasting about Haikou: It's a bit difficult!
Everyone laughed at him for not being able to do anything.
"For Whom", I sang it in high school, that time he was emotional, this time he was even more tempted, remembering the scene of military training, remembering that the college entrance examination is not easy, plus he is bold and his voice is particularly loud, and everyone on the scene was stunned with one mouth!
Mud covered the trouser legs
Sweat soaked the back of the shirt
I don't know who you are
but I know for whom you are serving
For whom, for the harvest of autumn
In order to return to spring and return to the wild geese
Full of enthusiasm and singing youth without regrets
Looking through the world, I don't know when my comrades-in-arms will return
……
I am usually used to listening to pop music, but today's national singing method makes everyone feel strongly shocked and moved!
The people below all looked at him intently, their mouths wide open in surprise.
The whole school building fell silent, and it seemed that everyone was listening to him sing "For Whom".
Lin Xiao sang so devotedly that she burst into tears.
After singing, the audience seemed to be still intoxicated by the singing, staring blankly.
Time seemed to stop, there was silence for a few seconds, and then immediately thunderous applause was remembered!
From the beginning of ridicule, contempt, to surprise, moved, shocked!
Xie Yibo stood up and said excitedly:
"Today I finally found a rare talent in our department! The singing voice is subdued, full of affection, full of contagion, and it is so touching!"
Then a few students who came to the stage did not stand out in particular.
Then came a sunny, fashionable, handsome boy.
His name is Yang Yiqin, he is the last to enroll, he often sits alone in the last row, and he rarely interacts with his classmates. sang "Love Normandy", after all, he was from a superior family background and received a professional education, and the song was not perfect, but the appearance was eye-catching, and the typhoon was steady, which won Xie Yibo's favor, and was finally selected together with Lin Xiao.
Sending Xie Yibo away, He Yunling called Lin Xiao and Yang Yiqin outside the classroom and gave Lin Xiao a big thumbs up:
"The boy sings really well!"
There was both praise and a hint of jealousy in his eyes, they were opponents in the rematch, and then he introduced the two of them to a few websites to download accompaniments, and they practiced after class or something. Lin Xiao and Yang Yiqin dated for the first time and exchanged pleasantries.
After class, Lin Xiao called Yuan Haiyun and Yang Ping in the dormitory and invited them to supper, because Yuan Haiyun has MP3 and can listen to songs and practice songs, he wants to borrow it, but he can't afford it.
The brothers in the same dormitory, facing Lin Xiao, who had just performed well, the two of them did not have any smiling expressions, let alone any praise, praise, or encouragement, and their faces were blackened all the time.
Lin Xiao was very depressed in her heart.
Did he finally borrow an MP3?
