Chapter 34: Rescue of Young People Who Have Gone Astray (Part 2)

  Yang Tao had just finished the phone call and was preparing to sneak back to his dormitory to wait for Secretary Zhang's reply. Just as he arrived at the school gate, he happened to meet Han Xiaoxi, who was rushing out of the school gate.

  "Hey, isn't this our brother's wife? You guys don't have class in the third or fourth period either, where are you rushing off to? Are you planning on helping my family's old three wear a green hat?" Seeing this delicate little girl, Yang Tao couldn't help but tease her with a sentence.

  "Pfft, pfft, pfft! I say, Yang Tao, how can your thoughts be so gloomy? Even Lang Ling Xiao Sheng's thoughts aren't as dark as yours! Could it be that your girlfriend has made you wear a green hat, making you start doubting life?" Han Xiao Xi is not someone who would let Yang Tao tease him for free, and immediately fired back with a string of words.

  "Who is Lang Ling Xiaoxiao?! I've never heard of him! How do you know his thoughts so well? Are you guys really in cahoots or something!" Yang Tao didn't care about Xiao La Jiao's teasing and habitually started arguing back.

  "Alright, I'm busy and can't chat with you now. My mom sent me something and I need to go get it quickly. You can leave, I won't see you off!" After saying that, Han Xiaohui walked past Yang Tao and continued walking towards the school gate.

  "By the way, our third brother received a notice from his counselor today that the school is going to give him an expulsion penalty. I'm informing you here first, so be mentally prepared. Once he leaves school, if you feel lonely, you can find me anytime and I can fully replace our third brother in serving you." Yang Tao said another sentence towards Han Xiao Xi's back.

  As soon as Yang Tao spoke, Han Xiaoxi stopped in her tracks and turned around. "Is that true or false? Why would they order you to drop out of school? If you dare to deceive me, I'll never let you off!"

  "Of course it's true, if you don't believe me just wait and ask your family member. As for the reason, isn't it because of what happened yesterday at noon when I fought with Zhang Peng? This news is absolutely authentic, our counselor just talked to him about it this morning!" Yang Tao explained.

  "Is that Zhang Peng a royal relative or something? He just slapped him twice and you want to expel him? This is still okay, if he had hit him harder, would the school have directly dragged him to the football field for execution?" Han Xiaohui said angrily.

  "Who says it's not? Ah, we all think the school is making a big deal out of nothing! But you really did guess it, Zhang Peng is indeed a relative of our Literature College's number one person, do you know what the surname of our Literature College's number one person is? It's Zhang! Zhang Peng is said to be his son! Of course, whether he's his biological son or not I haven't verified yet, let me go get their DNA for a paternity test, it's a bit troublesome!" Yang Tao started rambling on.

  "No wonder, it's really tiring to talk to you, and even paternity testing! I won't talk to you for now. You go back to the dorm and pass a message to Chu Fan, tell him to wait for me in the dorm, I'll go find him after I get my stuff!"

  "No need for me to speak on his behalf, your family's Chu Fan is probably in the music room discussing the secrets of music with Ye Siying right now. However, I always feel that they are a lonely boy and girl, maybe they will do something else too! If you want to find him, just go straight to the music room, but remember to knock on the door! I'll slip away first!" After finishing speaking, Yang Tao continued walking towards the dormitory.

  It was daytime, and they were still in the classroom at school. Chen Chufan was being very enthusiastic, but of course he didn't dare do anything else with Ye Siying like Yang Tao had said. So at this time, Chen Chufan was holding a book called "Five-Line Music Theory Knowledge Encyclopedia" and asking Ye Siying for guidance. The blank spaces in the book were filled with Chen Chufan's thoughts and questions, and Ye Siying was mainly explaining these questions to him one by one.

  "These are all basic music theories, and it's roughly like that. They're not difficult, the key is to remember them and be proficient in them. Of course, depending on the instrument you choose, the sheet music will also be different. For example, piano scores and guitar scores are different because their playing methods and techniques are different. However, have you noticed that the positions of rests and pauses between the two are roughly the same? Because a piece of music has a relatively stable rhythm no matter what instrument is used, so if you're proficient in music theory, you can completely translate the sheet music between the two." Ye Siying patiently answered Chen Chufan's questions.

  Ye Siying was speaking when Han Xiaoxi suddenly rushed into the music classroom with a bag of things.

  The door wasn't closed, so Han Xiao Xi naturally didn't need to knock.

  "Huh, huh, Chu Fan, huh, I heard from Yang Tao that the school is going to expel you! Is it true?" Han Xiao Xi asked loudly while panting heavily as soon as she entered the music room.

  When Han Xiaoxi spoke, Ye Siyi also stopped explaining and looked at Chen Chufan with confusion.

  Chen Chufan smiled wryly and nodded, saying: "Yes, our counselor talked to me about it today. The disciplinary opinion from the student department is still being withheld by him, but it hasn't been announced yet!"

  "Why?" Ye Siyi asked in surprise.

  "It's all because Chen Chufan beat up that Zhang Peng from their class at noon that day! I heard from Yang Tao that Zhang Peng is quite something, a member of the royal family! Humph, truly spoiled and pampered!" Han Xiaohui said indignantly, as if she was the one who had been expelled.

  "It's okay, you guys don't have to worry either. Yang Tao said he can handle it! Look at me now, I'm not worried at all! Even if the worst comes to worst and we really get expelled from school, it's no big deal! I've also figured it out, at most I'll just stay in school every day and come learn music with you guys, that's not bad either!" Chen Chufan casually comforted Han Xiaoxi.

  "Yang Tao? Can you believe that unreliable person?! Being forced to drop out is no small matter, how can it be as carefree as you said? This will all go on record! No way, I have to think of a solution!" Han Xiaoxi anxiously said.

  Han Xiaoxi's words really moved Chen Chufan, he didn't expect that the little girl in front of him who gave him a somewhat arrogant impression would be so concerned about his affairs. Although they had confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend yesterday, after all, it was still too early, and the two hadn't even spent much time together alone, but Han Xiaoxi seemed to have already fully entered into the state.

  "Xiao Xi is right, the punishment has not been announced yet, there should still be a chance for a turnaround, we need to think of a way, can't just sit and wait for death!" Ye Siying also nodded in agreement.

  "It's okay, it's okay. Chufan, don't be afraid, I and Sisi will support you, we must fight against the evil forces to the end!" Han Xiaoxi clenched her small fist and waved it in the air twice, with a spirited and adorable appearance that was beyond measure.

  "I'm not afraid!" Chen Chufan cried with a laugh, "I said you guys really don't have to worry, it's nothing! I can handle it! Besides, this matter you guys can't help much either..."

  Chen Chufan hadn't finished speaking, when Han Xiaoxi became displeased. "Who says we can't help with anything? You dare to belittle us! I must help with this matter, humph! Just you wait!"

  After finishing, Han Xiaoxi dragged Ye Sihui out of the music classroom and said without reserve: "Xiao SiSi, don't be in a hurry to get romantic with this guy, follow me back to the dormitory first and solve the problem. Otherwise, if he really gets expelled, won't we have to live in widowhood?"

  Han Xiaoxi's one sentence made both Chen Chufan and Ye Siying blush at the same time. Are the two people really focusing on discussing music theory? Where is the affection between them?

  Ye Siying couldn't resist Han Xiaoxi's pull, and since she also genuinely wanted to help Chen Chufan, she stood up from the piano and followed Han Xiaoxi out of the classroom.

  "Chu Fan, the key to the music room is on the piano stand. If you have nothing to do, practice playing the piano. When you leave, remember to lock the door and return the key to our dormitory before 2 pm." Ye Siying said as she was being pulled away by Han Xiaohui.

  "Alright, not even past the door yet. Don't be like a little wife, this and that, are you dumb or what!?" Han Xiaoxi didn't give Chen Chufan a chance to respond, continuing: "Chen Chufan, classmate, you heard what SiSi said, remember to come to our dormitory at 2 pm the day before yesterday!"

  "Oh!" Chen Chufan responded dully, watching as the two people walked out of the music room and disappeared from his sight.

  What's going on today? It seems like I'm the one who's going to be expelled. How come everyone is more concerned than me? Although Chen Chufan thought so in his heart, he only felt a warmth in his heart and had to say that being cared about by others really feels good.

  He sat down at the piano and began to play a lively tune, which instantly filled the empty music classroom.

  Hurriedly returning to her dormitory, Han Xiaohui tossed the large package in her hands onto the bed and began rummaging through her trunk.

  "What are you looking for?" Ye Siying sat on her own stool, watching Han Xiaoxi's busy appearance, and asked.

  "Find my phone book! It's been a long time since I used it, how come I couldn't find it?" Han Xiao Xi replied without turning her head, continuing with the action in her hand.

  "What exactly do you want to help him with?" Ye Siying asked somewhat strangely, thinking that Han Xiaoxi would make a banner or something and hang it on the principal's office door.

  "Of course, we need to find someone to help us! What's the point of having abilities if we don't use them? Eh, but if you're willing to make a sacrifice, Little SiSi, I have an idea." Han XiaoXi suddenly stopped what she was doing and said mysteriously in response to Ye SiYing's question.

  "What's the idea?" Ye Siying asked and immediately regretted it. Looking at Han Xiaoxi's expression, she estimated that it wasn't a reliable good idea.

  Han Xiaohui's next words proved Ye Siyi's conjecture.

  "It's simple, just spread the word and organize a protest for our school's cause. As long as there are enough participants, you can negotiate with them once, who knows how many will swarm in, the school won't be able to withstand the pressure, and they'll have to revoke the punishment! Ah, the only downside is that after all this fuss, you'll have to give our school's reputation a few green hats, I'm afraid it can't take the blow!" Han Xiaohui said with a serious expression, as if he was really providing a feasible suggestion for Ye Siyi.
