Chapter 449 (2/2)

“Can you teach me, Tang Xiu?” Mu Wanying seriously asked.

“Your skill in the art of music is actually very good. I realized it when we tried some zithers in the afternoon.” Tang Xiu chuckled. “However, I play the zither with my heart and soul, as well as the intention to bring myself in it, but your zither play doesn’t have it. While someone have spirit and soul, when you play the zither, you can only make a person’s spirit be lost in thought but fail to achieve the step to reach their soul.”

Knitting her brows, Mu Wanying asked, “I don’t understand. What’s the difference between spirit and soul?”

“Such a question is something that can be grasped by your heart and soul, yet it can’t be described. Perhaps you will be able to understand after you’ve experienced a sudden insight one day.”

“It sounds so mysterious. Forget it, then. I’ll rely on myself!” Mu Wanying couldn’t help laughing and replied.

“All right, let’s go downstairs!” Tang Xiu smiled faintly.

“Okay!”

As they came to the first floor, Tang Xiu and Mu Wanying found that Yue Kai and Li Xinjie were watching something on the mobile phone.

“What are you guys watching?” Tang Xiu asked.

Looking up, Yue Kai gave Tang Xiu a thumbs-up and exclaimed in praise, “Eldest Brother Tang, you’ve become famous. You just raised a commotion in our Shanghai University’s forum.”

“Huh?” Tang Xiu was confused, “What do you mean?”

“If it wasn’t because of your performance in the show, what else could it be?” Yue Kai said. “You’ve conquered all the teachers and students who attended the freshmen welcoming party, to the extent that the university leader requested the video recording master upload your performance footage on the campus forum. As of now, there have been ten thousand comments on your video footage, while tens of thousands of people have upvoted it. Furthermore, after various recommendations, many campuses outside Shanghai University have registered in our campus forum to open it. I also heard that…”

“What did you hear?” Tang Xiu forced a smile.

“I heard that the video was shared and uploaded to other campuses’ forums. It’s causing uproars everywhere,” Yue Kai smilingly said. “We have already checked and found that the number of videos uploaded to our forum has numbered up to eight thousand already; while the uploaded videos in other forums number to the tens of thousands. I’m sure that, as of tomorrow night, your performance will start to spread to the national major forums. By then, you will be popular all over the country.”

“No, that can’t be, right?” Tang Xiu was at a loss whether he to cry or laugh, saying, “Isn’t it way too easy to become a star if I become so hotly popular just because of a footage?”

“Eldest Brother Tang, you seem to not know the power of the Internet.” Yue Kai replied, “Computers are very popular nowadays, with 8 out of 10 people having access to internet. Bear in mind, what I said is just a conservative estimation. Henceforth, your given name, Tang Xiu, will be well-known to everyone. You may not become a celebrity in the future, but I’m hella sure you’ll become an Internet celebrity.”

_An Internet celebrity?_

It was a term Tang Xiu had heard before. But to think that he would become one of those Internet celebrities… Never once in his wildest dreams had he ever dreamed about it. He shook his head and smiled lightly, saying, “Attracting people’s attention wherever I go surely won’t be a good feeling. It seems I have to think of a way of getting rid of this video.”

“No can do, buddy!” Yue Kai shook his head. “You won’t be able to do that unless you have the ability to block all media channels.”

“EH!”

Tang Xiu looked vacant and stared blankly. He immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He indeed didn’t had the ability to block all media channels. Even if he used all his personal connections, including the power of the Tang Family, he wouldn’t be able to do that. The present Internet was indeed almost omnipotent. Once any major news happened, it would go viral and spread out like a virus.

_Seems like I must adopt measures appropriate to the actual situation. If worst comes to worst, I can learn from Zhang Xinya, disguising myself when I have to go to crowded places_ , Tang Xiu consoled himself inwardly.

“We were kind of unconvinced that you had any accomplishments in music before, Big Bro Tang. But after listening to your performance, we were utterly subdued. You’re a Guru; a deeply concealed Guru who doesn’t reveal himself. Now, I’m beginning to wonder how many n things you’re still concealing.”

“The four arts: zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting; none of them are subpar. Likewise, there’s nothing I don’t understand, be it verses, ditties, odes, or songs. I can impart you a few tricks if you’re willing to worship me as your teacher.”

“STOP!”

Tang Xiu received nothing but middle fingers yet again.

Nevertheless, for Mu Wanying, who had seen Tang Xiu’s painting skills, she definitely believed it; for her, he had reached an absolutely godlike level. And now, added with music, Tang Xiu already showed his godlike abilities in two spiritual fields.

The next day, when Tang Xiu appeared at campus, he really became the focus of everyone’s attention. Tons of people crowded together and pointed their fingers at him.

“Hello, handsome Tang Xiu, can you be my boyfriend?”

A female student stopped Tang Xiu when he was on the way to his classroom, asking him out very straightforwardly.

A bitter smile appeared on Tang Xiu’s face. This was the sixth female student who confessed to him after he came to campus. The way these girls looked at him was like a pervert feasting his eyes at a naked beautiful woman, brimming with cravings, hungry, and thirsty.

“I’m sorry. I don’t want to fall in love so early.”

Having said that, he quickly bypassed the girl and dashed forward.

“Hahaha…”

“I’m gonna die laughing, dude!”

“So envious. So jealous… ah, the regret!”

“…”

Yue Kai, Hu Qingsong, and the others roared with laughter. Their teasing and mocking voices filled the air.
