Low Key Star

  Chapter 3 [003] Can't even play a chord

   "She knew that I accidentally rolled down the stairs after class."

  Speaking of this matter, Zhang Yang was somewhat helpless, "This is the truth, don't listen to my classmates and their nonsense, who has the time to commit suicide by jumping stairs?"

The old couple by the window both turned their heads to look over. The old man just glanced at it, then continued to look down at his book, while the old lady smiled kindly. Her old face was wrinkled and wrinkled, but her skin was fine, which could be seen vaguely She was a beauty when she was young, but now she is no longer young, her hair has turned white, but her eyes are still bright, and there is a calmness and peace that has accumulated over the years.

  The reasons for the three-bed patients in Ward 13 of the Orthopedics Department are all "weird".

   The guy in bed 38 next door is said to have mistaken the bridesmaid for the bride on the wedding night. After being discovered, he ran while wearing pants, tripped and broke his leg.

The old man in the innermost place was parking on a slope, but he probably forgot to pull the handbrake, or didn't pull it up. After getting out of the car, he found that the car was slipping backwards. If someone helped in time, it is hard to say whether he will be admitted to the hospital or not.

Zhang Yang was originally the only one who was normal, but unfortunately after being hospitalized, his behavior was not normal, and when a classmate came to visit, he accidentally told him about "jumping the stairs to commit suicide", so the whole ward became a "wonderful work". .

   During this period of time, Zhang Yang didn't have much time to observe the two "patients", but he still had a certain impression.

  Bed 38 is a scumbag, there is basically no doubt about it, the only thing that is puzzling is the identity of the accompanying girl.

  The old man on bed 39 seems to have some background, he has a big temper, and likes to scold people. He scolds anyone who comes to visit him.

  At the beginning, there were a lot of people who came to visit the old man. They often lined up from the ward to the corridor. Although few people made a lot of noise, there were too many people, and even whispering was noisy.

  Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this old man probably has some status, and the nurses don't have to remind him often.

Zhang Yang was upset at the time, and he "speak up for justice" twice, the people who were reminded were somewhat embarrassed, but no one cared about him as a child, but the old man often used Zhang Yang to push people away, always saying "Screw, don't affect other students reading", or "Look, look, I was so noisy by you that I hid in the bathroom to read", completely unaware that other people's voice can't match his voice.

  There were too many gifts of melons and fruits, and the old lady often forced them to the two patients, expressing her apologies very kindly, and the people who came to visit were scolded to stop coming, and there was less interaction with each other.

However, there are fewer people visiting, and Zhang Yang still often squats in the bathroom for a long time without coming out. The old man told Zhang Yang twice about this, saying that he is young, if he doesn’t, he will develop a bad habit of occupying the latrine and not shitting, and his words are very bad. polite.

   Zhang Yang knew he was wronged, and he didn't argue, he just apologized, but he still couldn't come out of the bathroom, so the old and the young began to look at each other disliked.

   Zhang Yang had a good impression of the old lady. He could live with such an old man all his life without getting divorced. Thinking about it, he knew that he had a good temper. When he saw her smile, he smiled back with embarrassment.

  The girl smiled and said nothing more.

   Zhang Yang lay on the bed, was silent for a while, and asked in his mind: "According to what you said, this is Su Hui. I obtained the memory of me in another world. What about me in that world?"

   "Of course I signed the contract and went home to code."

  The crisp and sweet voice said lightly, "Do you still want to continue to let the readers' pigeons?"

"Uh…"

   Zhang Yang felt more at ease in his heart, as long as he was fine, otherwise he really couldn’t imagine what would happen to his parents and sister in that world.

   "According to what you said, I was already dead when I fell down the stairs. You saved me for the purpose of making me a star and helping you gain faith?"

   "It's not helping me, it's helping you. In this world, the only energy I can get is faith. Once I fall asleep completely, you will die with it."

   "Why do you have to be a star?"

   Zhang Yang was quite resistant to this, "Is there any other way to gain faith?"

"Have."

  The other party calmly gave an affirmative answer. Before Zhang Yang could be happy, she asked indifferently: "Aren't you afraid of 404?"

   Zhang Yang curled his lips, and said again: "But I can't act, and I can't sing. My whole body, apart from being handsome, what else is there to be a star?"

  The crisp and sweet voice was silent for a while, and then sighed softly: "Songs can be learned, plays can be polished, I don't worry about these, the only thing I can't help is my looks."

   "..."

  The other party is obviously an intelligent body with a complete mind. It is not surprising to open your eyes and tell nonsense, Zhang Yang doesn't care, and continues to ask: "If this is the case, can you give me a song and let me sing it?"

"You can't even memorize the correspondences of do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, and xi to C, D, E, F, G, A, and B proficiently, and you can write complete pop music. Don't you feel embarrassed that you can't even play a chord in a variety show?"

   "Uh... are you implying someone?"

This point Zhang Yang did admit that what she said was reasonable, he fell silent for a while, and then continued to ask: "I don't seem to remember the songs I heard before, the singer still remembers, but I have no impression of what I sang, what Happening?"

This is what he discovered when he was sorting out and comparing the entertainment status of the two generations. He couldn’t remember any of the familiar film and television music works, but he still remembered some names. I only remember their names, I have no memory of what they sang or filmed.

   "To prevent cheating triggers, when signing the agreement, your relevant memories in this area are temporarily sealed. When you have a certain ability to create music, and experience or emotions can trigger a work, the seal will be lifted."

   "Are you sick? You've been blocked, and I'm still a star? Rely on the face? Or rely on the waist?"

   "Instead of complaining, it is better to study music theory seriously."

   Zhang Yang took a breath and calmed himself down, "What do you mean by triggering the work?"

"literal meaning."

   "That is to say, if I want to sing a song about love, I have to fall in love first, and if I want to sing a song about broken love, I have to be dumped first?"

"almost."

   Zhang Yang took another breath, and for the sake of her beautiful voice, resisted the urge to swear, "What happens after the seal is lifted?"

  “The first song is a test. After passing the test, you can choose by yourself, but I suggest that what you write and sing should be as relevant as possible to your life.”

   Zhang Yang nodded, expressing agreement, "Did you give the complete lyrics and score?"

"Um."

   "What if I have a congenital condition...I mean the throat, isn't it good?"

   "Since I chose you, I must meet the requirements."

   "What about your singing skills?"

   "Just practice a few hundred times more."

   "You don't have anything like a king-level singing experience card?"

"No."

   "It's okay to have some space to practice singing and acting. You can control the flow of time. There are unscientific tutorials."

"No."

   "Then what's your use?"

   "Teach you the basic music theory."

   "..."

   It’s not as fast as I can teach myself!

   Zhang Yang complained in his heart, but objectively speaking, he had to admit that what the other party said made sense. According to the other party, she couldn't last long, and if she didn't have enough fans by then, she would be finished.

  With this premise, it is impossible for him to be a lonely and reclusive genius, and he must be exposed as much as possible.

And if you want to attract fans with the name of "original talent", based on his current level of ignorance of music, it is probably not "before starting a business and dying in the middle", it should be "died before leaving school". "

   "How long can you last? Or, how long can I live?"

   "About 832 days."

   "That is to say, if I eat and wait to die without doing a proper job, I can only live for more than two years?"

   "September 4, 1993."

   “…pretty accurate.”

  The crisp and sweet voice still asked lightly: "Are there any questions?"

"Have!"

   Zhang Yang continued to ask without hesitation, "Where are you from?"

  The other party didn't seem surprised, and quickly responded: "Beyond the thirty-third heaven."

   "???"

   Zhang Yang had a question mark in his head, "...Isn't this an urban novel?"

  The other party obviously understood his sarcasm, and replied indifferently: "Do you think that the Thirty-Third Heaven is equal to myths and legends?"

"if not?"

  “If the earth is regarded as the first heaven, then the solar system is the second heaven, and the Milky Way is the third heaven.”

  This explanation is a bit novel, but it seems to return to the feeling of a modern city.

"Any question?"

"Have."

   Zhang Yang gave an affirmative answer again, "What's the name?"

   This should not be a difficult question to answer, but the other party fell silent unexpectedly, Zhang Yang was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.

   After several minutes, the crisp and sweet girl's voice finally sounded again: "Luo."

   "Such a coincidence?"

   Zhang Yang laughed, "My name is Xia!"

  The other party had read his memory, so he naturally understood Xia Luo's teasing, and didn't respond.

   "Lo?"

   "It's a bit strange to call it. Let me give you another suffix. It's called Luoshen. How about it?"

"what ever."

  The other party didn't care, "Can we suspend class?"

"and many more."

  Zhang Yang continued to ask, "Why did you choose me?"

   "There must always be such a person."

"are you human?"

   There was no answer for a long time this time.

   "You won't just monitor me like this twenty-four hours a day?"

   Zhang Yang is very troubled by this question. Although taking off his pants seems to prove that the other party has integrity, who knows if this is a fake, if it is just to make himself think that she will not "look" when taking off his pants?
