Chapter 18

After seeing off the bearded man, Xu Lin was left dumbfounded. Chu Qingchans desire to find a professional music studio seemed to be more than just her own interest in singing.

Uncle, Aunt, Id like to discuss something with you.

Go ahead.

Well, I think Xu Lin has great musical talents. While studying is important, I dont want to waste his talent. Im thinking of finding a professional teacher to guide him.

Qingchan, youre not joking with us, right?

This child, Xu Lin, apart from liking anime and playing games since childhood, I havent seen him interested in listening to music, let alone singing. The guitar his uncle doesnt use anymore was given to him to play.

But that day at Grandmas house, he sang an original song. I think his voice is naturally suited for this, but it needs polishing. His creative ability is also quite strong.

At noon, in his room, I also saw some other lyrics he wrote. I feel theyre all excellent. So, I want to find a professional teacher to teach him a bit.

If singing doesnt work out, we wont waste his creative talent. Learning some professional music knowledge would be a valuable skill.

Well, Qingchans idea is good. We did suggest he learn drawing before, but it was just that.

But Miss Chu, as a person from the entertainment industry, thinks this kid has potential. Naturally, we wont refuse.

Compared to Mother Xu, Father Xu is more open-minded. Even though he always believed in the importance of academics, learning isnt rigid.

What does Aunt think?

Im afraid it will affect his studies. After all, hes already in his second year of high school, and the college entrance exam is just a year away.

If it hinders his studies, then of course, Im not saying your idea is wrong, Qingchan. Youre doing it for Xu Lins good after all.

Well, but I think Mr. Xu can balance both studying and music.

Wait a minute, have you asked for my opinion? I never said I wanted to learn music. Xu Lin directly used his sudden interruption skill.

You really dont want to learn music?

Chu Qingchan noticed Xu Lins reluctance, and her emotions stabilized. If he truly didnt want to do it, she couldnt just force him.

Its too troublesome. The school basically has no weekends or holidays, and I cant keep taking leave.

If I take too much leave and miss classes, itll be challenging to catch up. Plus, I havent transferred to an arts class, and I dont have plans for the arts exam.

Xu Lin wasnt entirely averse to singing and making music. In his previous life, after entering university, he even posted singing videos on Bilibili.

But in this life, he just wanted to settle down lazily and do some things he had missed in the past. If he entered a school for both academic and extracurricular studies, he might not have time for other things.

Youre not wrong in your thinking. Well then, lets postpone the visit to Ms. Guan!

Lets finish shooting that short film first. If we can get some good reviews, it will make things easier with your school.

Chu Qingchan thought for a moment and presented a solution. Xu Lin nodded, saying to Chu Qingchan, But you better visit her soon.

Why?

If you dont establish a good relationship early, lay the groundwork. Do you think someone of her calibre would casually help us?

I almost forgot the most important point. Then Ill soon give her a visit.

I told you to share the umbrella back then; now youve caught a cold, right?

The umbrella was too small; we both would have gotten wet.

You said youre a bad person, but which bad person catches a cold from light rain? Doesnt it say bad people live the longest? Come in.

She quickly let him in, helped him sit on the bed, and then asked, Wheres the thermometer and the medicine?

In the bottom drawer.

She immediately bent down, searching for the thermometer. In her short sleepwear, the roundness of her ass was directly presented to him, and his cough intensified for a moment.

But he quickly turned his head away. She cared for him like this, and it would be disrespectful to look at her like that.

Found it. Measure your temperature first. Based on the temperature, well decide on the fever-reducing medicine. Otherwise, taking a large dose at once isnt the right way.

Alright.

Ill get you some water.

She hurried out and returned quickly, bringing warm water for him.

A few minutes later, the temperature measurement result showed a conspicuous 39.7C.

Take this medicine.

After taking the fever-reducing medicine, Xu Lin leaned against the wall, squinting his eyes. A wave of drowsiness hit him, but he immediately opened his eyes.

Ill go back to sleep.

Dont go out; sleep here.

But if you sleep on the sofa, my mom will surely scold me.

Ill stay here too.

Oh, thank you for the stars blessings.

Look at you being all slick; it means the fever isnt that bad! Sleep; Ill turn on the air conditioning. You sleep on the right side, and Ill stay on the left side of the bed.

Xu Lin nodded. In his mind, he began to imagine if he would wake up tomorrow morning and there would be a scene from a novel where he and the other party were embracing.

But as he turned his head, he saw that she had put on a coat and long pants over her sleepwear. In an instant, he closed his eyes, losing any chance for a blessing.

Then he muttered, Thank you, Miss Chu, and due to physical discomfort, he fell into sleep within a dozen seconds.

Watching him fall asleep so quickly, Chu Qingchan also climbed onto the bed. She found that Xu Lin intentionally wrapped himself in the blanket, leaning against the corner of the wall.

She immediately understood. He was afraid of moving around at night, afraid of accidentally touching her. She couldnt help but think that this boy might be a bit naive and not want to take advantage of the situation.

She lay down too, looking at Xu Lins handsome profile. Extending a finger, she lightly poked him.

No need to thank me, silly Mr. Xu. Good night.

Her lips curved slightly, revealing a smile from the bottom of her heart. After laughing, she paused, realising, Lately, I dont seem to be that poker-faced anymore.
