Chapter 25

Learning martial arts is no longer possible. After Yang Yi put forward some training conditions, the little fatty backed down. How could he bear such hard training?
“Can you do some simple martial art without doing the horse stance, running and dieting?” Little fatty finally asked.
“No.” Yang Yi shook his head.
“Okay..” The little fatty lowered his head in frustration.
Nevertheless, even after his request was not granted, the little fatty continued to show his talkative nature, and the two of them became familiar with each other.
It turned out that the little fatty, named Guo Ziyi, was a talented young man.
Of course, this is just his assumption and self-proclamation. But at the age of 16, he skipped to the third year of senior high school, and his performance was the best in the whole school. His IQ is definitely not low!
But Yang Yi is still not convinced that this guy is that talented. But he’s absolutely a funny guy.
The little fatty, like a high achiever, felt that the college entrance exam is not that challenging, and changed his goal. And he signed up for Jiangcheng Media’s Art Exam this month.
“I want to be a big star!” Guo Ziyi said childishly.
Yang Yi is not convinced, but he is very interested. He wants to know how this guy made his decision, and how angry he made his parents and teachers.
“My parents don’t care about me, but my teachers are very anxious!” Guo Ziyi smiled, “But I don’t want to take the exam at the two famous schools in the north and the south of Beijing, and I don’t want to create results for them! Jiangcheng Media is good, there are many beautiful women..”
“..” Yang Yi was speechless.
Only 16 years old, and is already eager to make trouble?
In other words, this guy, by taking the opportunity to prepare for the exam, strolled around the campus all day, otherwise, he would not have run to Tingshan Mountain early in the morning to play and be chased by the wild boar.
“Can you even pass the Arts Examination if you suddenly come here like this?” Yang Yi expressed his suspicion.
Guo Ziyi patted himself on his chubby chest and said discontentedly, “Big brother Yang, how can you question me like this? At least, I have been learning vocal music since I was a child.”
Yang Yi took down the guitar, that the old man had given him, from the wall and handed it to Guo Ziyi: “You play a song that you are good at, let me listen to it.”
“Wow, Big brother Yang, do you have such a good guitar? Brown_B!” Guo Ziyi immediately recognized the brand. He exclaimed and made a fuss. And after receiving it, he became fond of it and was unable to let it go.
Yang Yi did not explain, and just raised his hand and let Guo Ziyi begin his performance.
Guo Ziyi’s expression became serious after he picked up the guitar. He gently moved the guitar and thought about it for a while. Then he said, “Big brother Yang, let me sing you a song I like very much, Cao Fang’s “Southern Town”.”
(PS: This song exists in reality, and can be classified into this world for a while. Interested people can search and listen to it. Light jazz and slow folk song, suitable for lazy afternoon listening.) (TN: This is in the raw.)
Yang Yi is not very familiar with the music of this world. He has been rushing around to decorate the coffee shop for some time, and has no time to install a high-end sound system at home. When he has a chance, he should “taste” the music feast of the world.
The guitar strings were gently pulled, and a series of very slow prelude flowed out.
Yang Yi could not help but close his eyes. The melody is simple, but it gave people a rare peace of mind. He quickly judged that the song should be a folk song.
The same melody was repeated several times, and Guo Ziyi hummed softly.
“Southern town, there is no radiance....”
Yang Yi gently raised his eyebrows. He looked at Guo Ziyi and was a little surprised. The boy didn’t exaggerate. He did have a good vocal foundation, but Yang Yi was even more surprised by his voice!
In his past life, Yang Yi felt that every fat person in the music industry was a potential stock1, such as Han Hong, Sun Nan, Liu Huan domestically, and Adele from oversees. Although these people were fat, they had a unique voice and could sing high key songs and they can also span many vocal ranges.
Guo Ziyi, this little fatty, is obviously the same. Although the melody of the song is not very high, it should be a female song. To sing a slightly higher tone with such rhythm, Yang Yi admits that he can’t do it, but Guo Ziyi sings it very easily.
“Every time I come back here, I feel calm.”
“The sun is blazing, the leisure steps of people..”
It is worthy of being 16 years old boy, the voice is limpid and without any impurity. The boy sang with a beautiful voice.
“The falling straw hat, the flowers I planted.. ” Finally, in this sentence, Guo Ziyi sang with his own good singing skills.
And when he sang the word “flower”, there’s a faint transition from the word “flower” to “er” with several degrees of change in tone, singing this relax song to its fullest.2 (TN: See notes at the end to fully understand what this mean.)
“shake, shake, shake, shake, shake”
“I am here to sing this song alone, the people just smile, oh, smile..”
“I am here to sing this song alone, you don’t know, oh, know..”
....
Yang Yi closed his eyes and really listened to the song quietly until the end. The song is in fact ordinary. Its value lies in its purity and simplicity. People who like slow-paced folk songs will like it very much, but there are only few people who are like that. Songs like this is not easy to get hot in the market.
