Rebirth: Rewriting Youth

Chapter 201 Class

"Sister, didn't we agree on 10 o'clock? It's only 9:[-], and I missed half an hour of sleep today."

"I've been sleeping all day long. If you spend more time on English, you'll have already passed the TOEFL."

"Yawn, you're talking about such disappointing things so early in the morning. I haven't even passed Level [-] this time."

"Oh, then you should consider summer school at Berkeley."

Hearing the sound coming from upstairs, Shen Yu couldn't help but raise his head and look at the stairs, and saw Xu Anzhi walking down with a little girl who was stretching and yawning.

This must be the Yang Xiao that Xu Anzhi mentioned. Upon seeing this, Shen Yu stood up quickly and looked at Yang Xiao.

A head of short, messy white-gray hair caught the eye first, which was particularly eye-catching. His large black-framed glasses, paired with a brown bear pajamas, gave him a cute look. It's just that her speaking voice is a little bit rough, not as crisp as an ordinary girl's voice, which makes people feel extra uncoordinated.

After the two walked down the stairs, the sleepy Yang Xiao saw Shen Yu standing in front of the sofa.

"Hello." Shen Yu greeted with a smile and a nod.

"F*ck! Man!" Yang Xiao screamed in a rough voice and glanced at Xu Anzhi with a gossipy face. Then, as if he suddenly reacted, he immediately lowered his head and pulled his hair twice quickly. Raising his head again, Yang Xiao put on a sweet smile, raised a hand and waved it shyly, and said sweetly in a slightly tingly voice: "Hello, handsome man, my name is Yang Xiao. .”

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment. Looking at the round-faced girl in front of him, who indeed looked young, his cup was briefly overloaded, but he still smiled politely and waved back: "Hello, my name is Shen Yu."

Seeing this, Xu Anzhi rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Okay, stop pretending and get down to business."

Yang Xiao rolled her eyes at Xu Anzhi helplessly, then returned to her original voice and said, "Damn, you don't even know how to save some face for me." After saying that, he politely said to Shen Yu, "Handsome man, do you want to be a editor? Qu, right? Come on, I’ll take you to the recording studio.”

Shen Yu and Xu Anzhi followed Yang Xiao to the basement.

Yang Xiao casually opened a door. After the lights came on, Shen Yu saw the huge mixer in the room, with various buttons densely packed on it.

The first time he saw this mixer, Shen Yu knew it was a sure thing! Xu Anzhi is indeed reliable!

Looking into the recording studio through the large piece of glass on the wall, drums, various acoustic guitars, electric guitars and other musical instruments are placed randomly.

Without waiting for Shen Yu to observe more, Yang Xiao went directly to the topic: "Have you brought the simplified music score?"

When Shen Yu heard this, he looked at Xu Anzhi. Yang Xiao saw Shen Yu looking at Xu Anzhi, and also looked at Xu Anzhi curiously.

Xu Anzhi calmly took out a music folder from his bag, handed it to Yang Xiao, and sat down on the sofa nearby.

Yang Xiao casually took the music folder, turned on all the equipment, sat on the stool, looked at the music and started humming. Halfway through the song, the casual expression on Yang Xiao's face gradually faded away. She turned her head curiously and glanced at Shen Yu, who was also sitting on the sofa, and continued humming with a serious look on her face.

After singing, Yang Xiao read it carefully twice and said to Shen Yu with a smile: "You wrote it? It's pretty good."

"Ah." Shen Yu nodded vaguely.

"Written to Xu Anzhi?" Yang Xiao rolled her eyes and asked with a gossipy smile.

"Uh" Shen Yu was a little embarrassed and hesitated on how to answer, so he glanced at Xu Anzhi subconsciously.

Xu Anzhi crossed his arms and leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed. He saw Shen Yu looking at him and said expressionlessly: "It should be written to his girlfriend."

When Yang Xiao heard this, he immediately stopped talking and smiled, and asked: "What style do you want for the arrangement?"

"Well, it should be pop rock. The musical instruments are mainly electric guitar and drums. By the way, we also need to add some piano." Shen Yu returned.

Yang Xiao looked at Shen Yu and blinked, then asked with some confusion: "How many years have you studied music?"

"Never learned." Shen Yu scratched his head and returned.

Yang Xiao looked at Shen Yu in surprise. After a moment, he nodded and said, "You are quite talented. Have you ever thought about eating this bowl of rice?"

Shen Yu quickly waved his hand and said: "No, I just played around for fun, I didn't think about it at all."

Yang Xiao nodded and said: "Okay, I understand." After saying that, he sat back in front of the mixer and opened some software on the computer. After a while, Yang Xiao looked back at the two people on the sofa. People, asked: "Who is coming?"

Shen Yu didn't understand what it meant, so Xu Anzhi stood up and sat next to Yang Xiao and said, "Let's get together."

Upon seeing this, Shen Yu also stood up, took a bar chair and sat next to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao edited various audio tracks while playing various audio tracks for Shen Yu to listen to. While Shen Yu was recalling his memories, he was trying to describe the effect he wanted, while Xu Anzhi was adding some professional suggestions in a timely manner.

After Yang Xiao entered the role, his whole temperament changed drastically and he became very focused.

After stumbling for a long time, I finally finished the prelude.

After Shen Yu listened to it in full, he felt that it was quite similar, but it still seemed like there was something missing that he couldn't quite remember, so he didn't want to trouble others too much, so he said, "It's almost there."

After seeing Shen Yu nod, Yang Xiao started to sing the main song again.

Although the verse part has the same single melody line as the intro, it also has other guitar tracks added to it. It is very troublesome to deal with. The main reason is that Shen Yu's expressions are very non-standard, and many times he can only rely on Xu Anzhi to supplement them.

While the three of them were having a heated discussion, Wu Ma opened the door with a smile and said, "Miss, lunch is ready. Let's have some light food first."

Yang Xiao threw away the mouse and keyboard and said, "Let's eat first, we won't be able to handle this for a while."

Shen Yu stood up and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I originally planned to invite you out for a meal."

Yang Xiao smiled and said: "Let's wait until the arrangement is finished. Don't worry, I will definitely kill you well then."

Shen Yu then said with a smile: "It's okay, you can choose the location as long as you want."

Yang Xiao chuckled and joked: "This is what you said, no matter how expensive it is? But don't pretend to be fat."

Xu Anzhi smiled and patted Yang Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Shen Yu can definitely afford it. Let's go have dinner."

The three of them followed Wu Ma to the restaurant. After taking their seats one by one, Shen Yu sat next to Xu Anzhi. Wu Ma also came to the table and sat across the table from Yang Xiao. Looking at the six dishes and one soup that looked very good on the table, all of which were ordinary home-cooked dishes, Shen Yu felt that the Yang Xiao family did not live as extravagantly as other nouveau riche. However, there were two additional pairs of chopsticks of different colors placed on the table, and Shen Yu naturally knew that these were serving chopsticks.

I remember when the young grandfather wanted to buy a house and went to Haishi to borrow money from the second grandfather. Father Shen drove there with the two families. Everyone had a meal at Second Grandpa's house, and the concept of serving chopsticks at the dinner table was deeply engraved in Shen Yu's mind. However, after people's economic conditions improve in later generations, many high-end hotels will also place two pairs of chopsticks of different colors next to the tableware. These are public chopsticks and private chopsticks. But almost no one pays attention to this concept. After all, we are all relatives eating at the same table. Why do we have so many rules?

"Come on, come on, eat this big steak. The big steak cooked by Wu Ma is very delicious." Yang Xiao said with a smile.

"Use the white chopsticks on the table to pick up food." Xu Anzhi came over and reminded Shen Yu in a low voice.

"I know." Shen Yu whispered back.

After finishing the meal, the three of them returned to the recording studio and continued working.

When Shen Yu went to the toilet, Yang Xiao bumped Xu Anzhi with his shoulder with a smile on his face and asked, "What's going on?"

"What's going on?" Xu Anzhi returned expressionlessly.

"Except for the friends around us, this is the first time you have brought a boy to my house, and you have a girlfriend. How did you meet?" Yang Xiao asked ambiguously.

"Where's the household registration check?" Xu Anzhi returned angrily.

"Hey, tell me, I'm just curious." Yang Xiao said coquettishly.

"Alumnus, who is also my next door neighbor, is quite a mysterious person." Xu Anzhi frowned and said thoughtfully.

"Mysterious? How do you say it?" Yang Xiao suddenly became interested.

"A high school classmate of his sleeps next door to me. I asked around and found out that his family conditions are very average. When I was in school, he was a very ordinary person with a cheerful personality. But, how should I put it? Now he is... I think there is a kind of composure and confidence that is not suitable for his age. You know, it feels strange to be unable to pretend to have no life experience."

"Could it be a family accident? Mature overnight?" Yang Xiao asked doubtfully.

"No, I asked his classmates and nothing big happened in his family. Also, he has two houses and a Mercedes-Benz C in his name. He probably bought them with his own money."

"Oh? What's his business?" Yang Xiao asked.

"He wrote an online novel on the Internet, and it should be said to be one of the best on the Internet." Xu Anzhi said.

"So powerful? Then he is quite talented." Yang Xiao smacked his lips and said.

"And this song, did you know that he doesn't understand the simplified musical notation or the musical notation? He came to me last night and hummed while I picked up this music score. Can you believe it?" Xu Anzhi raised his chin and said.

Yang Xiao looked at the simplified music score on the stage and said doubtfully: "No way, this piece looks simple, but the level is still quite high. Is it really a talent?"

"I can't tell clearly, maybe he bought it from someone, but he should have filled in the word himself." Xu Anzhi said with a smile.

Yang Xiao couldn't figure it out either, so he said in a nonchalant manner: "Hey, no matter who he is, he doesn't have any secrets. As long as he doesn't have bad intentions, we can treat him as a friend."

"Indeed, he is very measured in his conduct. He even rescued a stray cat last winter and is considered a very caring person. So I think we can be just friends." Xu Anzhi nodded.

Just as Yang Xiao was about to speak, the door to the recording studio was opened, and Shen Yu walked in with a smile and said, "Sorry for the long wait."

Yang Xiao reacted, immediately stopped talking, turned his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's continue."

The three of them continued to work all afternoon before finishing the second chorus.

At 4:[-], Xu Anzhi asked to leave. Shen Yu didn't want to stay too long, so he stood up and said, "Then I'll see you off."

Yang Xiao smiled and said: "Shen Yu, please leave my phone number and we will continue tomorrow."

"Okay." Shen Yu nodded, and then exchanged phone calls with Yang Xiao.

"You can do it by yourself tomorrow. I have to spend time with my family tomorrow." Xu Anzhi said to Shen Yu from the side.

"Ah?" Shen Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He glanced at Xu Anzhi and then at Yang Xiao, who was taking it for granted. Then he smiled and said to Yang Xiao, "I'll trouble you tomorrow. We'll contact you later."

"Okay, I won't send it to you. I'll think about this arrangement again." Yang Xiao waved his hand casually and said.

So Shen Yu and Xu Anzhi left Yang Xiao's house. After getting in the car, Shen Yu asked casually: "Yihe Road?"

"Yeah." Xu Anzhi responded.

Yihe Road is very close to the Imperial Garden. After bypassing the roundabout and entering this boulevard, the bustling traffic stops here. Except for the sycamore trees on the roadside, what I saw were basically high courtyard walls and closed courtyard gates.

Each enclosed courtyard has its own story and history. Outsiders can only get a glimpse of the bustling scene outside the yellow wall.

"Stop for a moment." Xu Anzhi said suddenly.

Shen Yu remained silent, slowly stepped on the brakes and stopped on the side of the road.

Xu Anzhi unbuckled his seat belt and said politely: "I'm here, bye."

"Bye, I'm sorry for bothering you today. I'll treat you and Yang Xiao to dinner another day." Shen Yu waved his hand quickly.

"It's okay, let's talk about it then." Xu Anzhi said calmly.

While Shen Yu turned around, he watched Xu Anzhi walk to an iron door, skillfully open the small iron door on the big iron door, enter, and close the door. Looking past the high yellow wall, Shen Yu saw the two-story yellow European-style building inside, with a small chimney on top of the eaves.

"Class~" Shen Yu shook his head helplessly, stepped on the accelerator, and drove slowly away.
