19 Youre Still You (1/2)

The next morning, Shen Tianyun went to help Feng Yunxi in opening a stall before daybreak. A stall came from Feng Yunxi's noodles stall and got it modified. The name of the stall is 'Tianyun Buns', it was simple and easy to remember. In his previous life, he always used his real name to be a brand's name. At first, it was unintentional because he couldn't come up with a good name so he just used 'Tianyun' in his first business name, 'Tianyun Books', later it was Shen Xiaohong's idea of using 'Tianyun' in every business that he owned. She gave him a reason that people could easily remember him as they know the brand's name.

After he finished setting up a stall, Shen Tianyun didn't stay for too long, He went to the school afterward. Today he needs to discuss with teacher Lou for an upcoming music competition tomorrow. He doesn't know much in detail, Fang Yulan only gave him roughly information about this event.

This music competition is known as the 'High School Music Talents Competition', and it was the provincial level of competition which means that the competitors will be coming from various High schools from all over the province. The reputation of the school is very important, especially a competition at this level. That's why teacher Lou didn't hesitate to put Shen Tianyun into the competition when he first saw his talents. Shen Tianyun doesn't know how he manages to convince the higher up to let him in, he has foreseen that there will definitely be trouble waiting for him.

”Morning, Xueyue.” Shen Tianyun greeted Lin Xueyue who sat on her seat and looked lost in her thoughts. He didn't interact with her much in recent days, he was too busy thinking about his business. Lin Xueyue would occasionally look into the distance and fell into deep thought.

Lin Xueyue tilted her head to look at him before nodding her head in reply without saying a word. Shen Tianyun begins to worry about her, he knew that it should be related to her dreaming about past life experience. He couldn't do anything to help her, she needs to rely on herself in this matter. He often has an urge to tell her everything but he isn't sure what the outcome will be afterward.

The exam result didn't make a huge impact on his fame as he thought, people would think that it was a fluke, not to mention some people even thought that he was cheating. Therefore, he needs to do it once more on the next exam. In contrast to his piano performance, right now he already had more than 3,000 Fame Points. More people come to watch his video on the internet every day. This is also a reason why Shen Tianyun is looking forward to the competition.

After lunch, Shen Tianyun went to find teacher Lou in the music room. When he walked into the room he saw Lou Hao pacing back and forth around the room, his face filled with worry and fury at the same time. Shen Tianyun saw that he wasn't surprised at all, he knew that something would happen sooner or later.

”Teacher Lou.” He called Lou Hao, the latter stopped pacing and turned to look at him.

”Student Shen, you've come.” His corner mouth twitched slightly when he saw Shen Tianyun.

Shen Tianyun smiles, ”Did something happen?”

Lou Hao let out a long sigh and silent for a moment before opening his mouth, ”The higher up wasn't convinced about your ability, they wanted to send Hu Kuang instead of you. I know that someone must bribe them to do so. They deliberately block your path.”

Shen Tianyun still has a calm expression, he asks, ”Then what did teacher Lou want to do? If it is too troublesome, you can let Hu Kuang go instead of me. I don't mind.” Although he wanted to participate in this competition but it doesn't mean that he can't find another way to earn Fame Points.

Lou Hao sighed helplessly, ”This is the problem, they wanted you to compete with Hu Kuang. However, they know that you are proficient in piano. They wanted you to compete in composing.”

He sighed again and continued, ”They just wanted to humiliate you, after all, that Hu Kuang was really good at composing a song. His talents were well known to everyone in Pearl City.”

”Ai, forget it. I was the one inviting you to this, I don't want anyone to humiliate you. I will go cancel this pointless competition.” Lou Hao shook his head helplessly.

When Shen Tianyun heard that he has to compete in composing, his eyes immediately lit up. He is confident that he definitely didn't lose to anyone when it comes to composing a song. He hurried to stop Lou Hao from walking out of the room, ”Wait a minute teacher Lou, I wanted to do it. They wanted to compete with me? Hehe, let's see who will humiliate who.” He smiled coldly. In his heart he knows that even if he manages to win this, there will be more trouble waiting for him. However, he wasn't fear at all.

Lou Hao's eyes widened open, he hurried to say, ”Are you sure? Hu Kuang had been praised by several experts and he won a composing competition last year. His talents were a real deal. I also admired him.”

Shen Tianyun chuckled, ”I'm very confident. Don't worry about it.”

Lou Hao looked at his carefree expression, he then reluctantly nodded his head. Lou Hao immediately calls all related people to come to the music room. After a while, a group of people walked into the room. The first one is a literature teacher, Wang Lei, he was a middle-aged man wearing thick glasses and a generic white shirt. He was one of the top teachers in Huayun High school. The second one is a tall man who was around 26 - 27 years old, he has a hint of arrogance on his face. Upon seeing this man, Shen Tianyun laughed coldly in his heart because this man is Zhou Liming, Zhou Xiaolong and Zhou Feng's cousin.

It wouldn't be hard to guess who is the one behind this. Huang Zheng and Zhou Feng also come to this room. What surprised Shen Tianyun is that Lin Xueyue also came, he looked at Lou Hao questioningly and the latter explained that he invited her here to help Shen Tianyun in case those people bully him. At least, with the presence of Lin Xueyue these people won't go too excessive on him, that's what Lou Hao believes. The last one is a good looking young man, he has a fair complexion. His figure is not tall, it was an average high of men. His face filled with pride and arrogance. He must be very confident in this competition. He is Shen Tianyun's opponent for today, Hu Kuang.

”Oh? This is student Shen that teacher Lou thinking highly of?” Zhou Liming said as he looked at Shen Tianyun. There was a hint of mocking in his voice.

Lou Hao clenches his fist in anger. He doesn't know why this Zhou Liming has come because he is an English teacher and has nothing related to the music at all. However, he won't dare to retort back, after all, Zhou Liming has come from a branch of the Zhou family. He could only nod his head in reply.

”Why have student Huang and student Zhou also come?” Lou Hao asked, even though he knew too well that they probably wanted to see Shen Tianyun losing his face.

Huang Zheng shrugged, ”I heard that my classmate Shen Tianyun wanted to represent the school in tomorrow's competition. I just came here to see his ability with my own eyes.” He said in a ridiculing manner, especially when he said 'his ability' words. Zhou Feng chuckled on the side.

”How do we compete?” Shen Tianyun doesn't want to waste his time with these idiots, he quickly asked.

At this moment, Hu Kuang smiled gracefully, he looked at Lin Xueyue and said, ”How about this, we will compose one song for princess Lin, and let her decide who is better.”

”Oh? Are you sure? You know that the relationship between student Shen and student Lin is quite close. Isn't that a disadvantage for you?” Teacher Wang was the one who said. In fact, he doesn't want to come here at all, he doesn't want to be a part of this scheme but he had been forced by the dean.

”I'm sure that Princess Lin won't do anything disgraceful like that, is that right Princess Lin?” Hu Kuang smiled gently at Lin Xueyue. He has admired Lin Xueyue for a long time. When he saw her come to this room, he felt excited and couldn't show his ability to impress her.

Lin Xueyue wore a cold expression as usual, she looked at Shen Tianyun as if she wanted to ask his opinion. Shen Tianyun smiled slightly and nodded his head in reply.

She turned her head and gazed at everyone, ”I have a condition that we will decide the winner in one round. The loser will be disqualified for tomorrow's competition and never pursue this matter again.” She calmly said. Shen Tianyun secretly praised her in his heart. With this condition, Hu Kuang, Huang Zheng, and Zhou Feng have to stop finding trouble on Shen Tianyun, at least until tomorrow.

Zhou Feng and Huang Zheng looked at each other, they were dissatisfied with this because Hu Kuang wanted to use this opportunity to court Lin Xueyue. They were about to say something but got interrupted by Hu Kuang.
