Chapter Seventy-Two: Teacher Cheng
(A lot of people ask about pure rain sound, here I post one that I think is good, "10 Hz Alpha Thunderstorm")
Yan Yitong often jokes with others on the Internet, talking about the days of five cents, but she never thought that she would really spend money to find someone to chat with one day, after all, only others want to chat with her, she rarely takes the initiative to deal with others, you must know that she is more or less famous on the Internet.
And the reason why she deliberately dressed herself up in school is not amazing, but also because she is afraid of being recognized by others, she is the well-known Internet celebrity on the Internet.
Yan Yitong has a lot of supporters on the Internet, there are several groups with a fan base of 2,000 people, and the number of followers on Weibo is as high as 200,000, and she never bothers to buy zombie fans, and she also cleans up zombie fans regularly, so her fans are real people.
Speaking of which, the reason why Yan Yitong is interested in Cheng Mo is because of his good "best friend" Fu Yuanzhuo, although Yan Yitong is very concerned on the Internet and has a lot of friends, in fact, Yan Yitong never brings the Internet into reality, she does not have many friends in reality, because her hobbies are more biased, and it is difficult to meet her tastes, and from Fu Yuanzhuo's description of some things about Cheng Mo, Yan Yitong gradually became a little curious about Cheng Mo - because Cheng Mo and her brother Yan Funing have some similarities.
Although it is said that Cheng Mo is far less handsome than Yan Funing, after school that day, when Yan Yitong rushed to Fu Yuanzhuo's classroom to settle accounts with Fu Yuanzhuo, he saw Cheng Mo slowly packing his schoolbag in the sunlight pouring down from the classroom, his expression was indifferent, like a majestic and independent stone floating in the cold snowflakes in the sky, and the silence revealed the coldness of Zen.
As his name suggests, silence.
Yan Yitong felt that the person who could give Cheng Mo this name must have great wisdom.
Therefore, she took the initiative to call Cheng Mo for help for the first time, but she didn't expect Cheng Mo to ignore her at all, and left directly as if she hadn't heard it, just like her arrogant brother, who neither liked others to help, nor was she willing to help others.
In that brief moment, Yan Yitong seemed to see the back of her brother who was far away at Imperial College.
This made Yan Yitong, who didn't plan to come to Du Leng's June 1st party at the beginning, really have the idea of seeing what kind of person Cheng Mo is, she wants to see if Cheng Mo really has the capital of Niu B like her brother Yan Funing, so there is also the beginning of the entanglement.
Yan Yitong's test results were quite explosive.
She originally thought that her brother was the smartest genius in the world, and she must know that her brother Yan Funing was the only Chinese person in China to win the "Fields Medal", the highest honor in mathematics, and was also the third Chinese to win this honor after Tao Zhexuan.
However, Cheng Mo seems to have such potential, and he can do such a fantasy thing as resuming the "impossible puzzle" with mental arithmetic in his mind, which simply surprised Yan Yitong, especially Cheng Mo's ability to accurately say the form of music she likes - a very niche vaporwave, coupled with the shadow of the laurel tree, the ticking rain in the headphones, the original boy holding the English in his hand, and the white earphone cable between the two people.....
How can Yan Yitong not have a feeling of "heartbeat"?
It's just that Yan Yitong at this moment doesn't know that this is a heartbeat.
"Let's introduce myself formally. Yan Yitong took off his headphones and looked at Cheng Modao without blinking.
Cheng Mo also took off his headphones and said, "My name is Cheng Mo, an ordinary student in the first (9th) class of high school...."
Yan Yitong stretched out his slender and white hand like porcelain to Cheng Mo, and said, "My name is Yan Yitong, you can call my little name Tong Tong, I am an ordinary student in the first (2) class of high school......"
Cheng Mo looked at Yan Yitong's hand and was stunned for a moment, because no girl had ever been friends with him, he was such an ordinary and boring person, Cheng Mo, who had always been calm and calm, actually felt a little overwhelmed in his heart at this moment, but he was soon overwhelmed by reason, and the girl in front of him who pretended to be ordinary and a really ordinary person like him would not have a real friendship.
It is more appropriate to position the other party as an employer.
Cheng Mo also stretched out his pale and thin hand, and gently pinched it with his fingertips and Yan Yitong, this was the first time he touched a girl's hand, when he was in elementary school, because of heart disease, he had never participated in any extracurricular activities except for class, so naturally he had no chance to hold hands with girls in the queue, as for the matter of his mother holding his hand, in Cheng Mo's mind, there was no memory at all.
Yan Yitong's fingers were as delicate as shallots, weak and boneless, warm and round, not at all cold and hard as Cheng meditated.
After the two let go, Yan Yitong smiled: "I don't think you are ordinary at all..... The people who can answer my questions are never ordinary....."
Cheng Mo said: "Answering questions is my strength, and I only have this strength." ”
Yan Yitong smiled: "I don't think, by the way, why do you deliberately score zero in the exam?"
Cheng Mo had long known that Yan Yitong would ask this question, and he definitely couldn't say that it was because of Ulopolos, so he paused and replied, "My father passed away just before the exam..... So ....."
Yan Yitong hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
Cheng Mo said: "It's okay. ”
Yan Yitong said: "Then let's change the topic..... Do you like vaporwave music?"
Cheng Mo planned to answer this question well, so that the money paid by Yan Yitong was worth it, so he thought for a moment and said seriously: "I don't like it, I don't dislike it, this music form originated from the mail art in the avant-garde art movement Fluxus, developed to cyberpunk (cyberpunk, Note 1), and began to rise in 2010.... This music is essentially a dystopian reconstruction of the Belle Époque's digital punk...... The original dance music with a high BPM was slowed down into a variety of slow electronic music, and great attention was paid to the sound of water vapor surrounded by water mist in the background, and various early avant-garde figurative music and tape music would be used, and various pauses and rough ways were reconstructed to change the classic chopping and distorting its original style. ”
"The steamwave gives me the feeling that it is extremely romantic to the ears, like being in a huge steamy city, with retro dynamic music ringing in my ears, walking around unrealistic punk teenagers, and flashing bizarre neon lights in my vision, interspersed with mellow English and stiff Chinese characters, like the futuristic roar of an industrialized East Asian metropolis in the damp and gloomy air..... Personally, I can listen to it, but I actually prefer traditional aesthetic music and rational aesthetic music....."
Yan Yitong listened to Cheng Mo's calm and cool voice moving slowly in her ears, his voice was completely non-magnetic, but it was not mechanical, like the black printed words in a textbook, just like the click of a typewriter moving in the wind in her ears.
This made Yan Yitong not want to interject at all, and when Cheng Mo finished speaking, Yan Yitong asked with some curiosity: "What is rational aesthetic music?" Yan Yitong had never heard of this method of distinction, so he asked curiously.
Cheng Mo said: "This distinction should be said of Joseph Schillinger, the little-known American cubist who wrote a book called The Mathematical Basis of the Arts, which artists may scoff, but I think it's a very interesting book that evolves the history of art into five parts. The first stage is pre-aesthetic, the stage of biological imitation, the primitive stage of human imitation of bird calls, animal sounds....."
Cheng Mo finished talking about "The Mathematical Basis of Art", and then analyzed the artistic characteristics, representative figures and representative works of each period for Yan Yitong......
Yan Yitong listened to it with relish, she knew a lot of things, but these things were all disorganized information in her mind, not systematic, she knew those famous music masters, but she couldn't figure out the relationship at all, but Cheng Mo summarized everything very well and built a complete world music system for her.
For example, when Cheng Mo talks about classical music, he summarizes it as "one center, two basic points." - With Germany and Austria as the center, Russia and Italy as the basic points.
Germany and Austria are the source of classical music, such as the representatives of German and Austrian music, Bach, Beethoven and other masters who have the pursuit of truth and philosophy, all of them are serious works, which belong to the master of all ages, and Italy, which is one of the two basic points, is represented by opera, an art form with a high entertainment nature. As for the other fundamental point of the Russian Slavic nation, it was the pioneer of the purely artistic romantic genre.
The air under the laurel tree was quiet, only Cheng Mo's voice was spreading unhurriedly, Yan Yitong occasionally asked some questions, and Cheng Mo gave detailed answers.
The more Yan Yitong listened, the more surprised she became, originally she went out of school just to learn more about Cheng Mo, and never felt that she could learn anything from Cheng Mo, but in terms of his systematic understanding of music, it was definitely more than enough to be a teacher and give a class.
At this moment, Yan Yitong felt that he still underestimated the thin and indifferent young man in front of him from afar.....
