This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 149 Haste: Why do our days never return?

Zhou Hao and his companion were not adequately prepared.

Finding a suitable article in this short time is enough; I never even thought about finding background music.

What is professional!

Lu Ran, that's what you call professional!

On the judges' panel, Sun Shengqiang and several other teachers looked puzzled.

The main reason is that they hadn't heard of this article called "In a Hurry".

This article is not in the primary school Chinese textbook.

One teacher immediately took out his phone and typed "in a hurry" into the search bar.

No relevant articles were found after the search.

The teacher showed the search results to Sun Shengqiang, who nodded, indicating that he should listen to Lu Ran's recitation first, and then they would talk.

On the stage, Lu Ran remained calm.

He didn't feel anything when he studied the article "In a Hurry" in elementary school.

But when he grew up, he stumbled upon this article online.

You can understand the meaning conveyed in this article on just the first read.

At first listen, one doesn't understand the meaning of the song; upon second listen, one becomes a character within the song.

At this moment, as he recites this poem, "In a Hurry," he also reflects his own understanding of life.

"The swallows have gone, but they will return; the willows have withered, but they will turn green again; the peach blossoms have faded, but they will bloom again. But, tell me, wise one, why do our days never return?"

Lu Ran's voice was clear, and even without a script, every word he recited was easily audible.

His voice was also full of emotion.

The crew members filming the program exchanged glances.

Everyone looked on with confusion.

I've never seen this article before.

But even the opening few sentences are very evocative.

Many adults were touched by this.

Lu Ran's voice continued.

"I don't know how many days they gave me, but my hands are indeed gradually becoming empty. Silently counting, more than eight thousand days have slipped through my fingers, like a drop of water from a needle tip falling into the ocean. My days drip into the stream of time, without sound or shadow."

Feng Kang realized the problem.

How old is Lu Ran?

Li Quan said, "He's a senior in college this year, and he's twenty-two."

Feng Kang did a quick mental calculation and realized that twenty-two years old did indeed add up to more than eight thousand days.

"Go check if this article exists."

After Feng Kang gave the instructions, staff members immediately went to investigate.

Li Quan asked curiously, "Why are you investigating this?"

Feng Kang asked, "Yes, I can just ask you directly, did Lu Ran find this article himself or did you find it?"

"Lu Ran found it himself; he didn't ask me to interfere." Li Quan was even more puzzled.

It's just that I found an article online and read it aloud. Is it really that big of a fuss?

There are tons of these impressive-sounding articles in Chinese textbooks.

Feng Kang asked, "Have you studied this article before?"

Li Quan: "I don't know if I've ever studied it or not, I've long forgotten it, who would remember it anyway?"

Feng Kang felt that he had asked the unnecessary question.

At this point, the staff also found the results.

"Director Feng, I couldn't find the article 'Cang Cong' online."

Upon hearing this, Feng Kang's eyes suddenly turned to Lu Ran on the stage.

"When it got dark, I lay in bed, and he nimbly stepped over me and flew away from my feet; when I opened my eyes to see the sun again, another day had slipped away."

Lu Ran's voice was incredibly captivating, immersing everyone in the atmosphere of the story.

Many of the children in the audience did not understand the meaning of the article, and their faces were filled with doubt, or they were quietly playing with their classmates.

But adults are drawn to these simple and easy-to-understand sentences.

This article is a bit heartbreaking.

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Lu Ran's recitation was really good, and this article is also very well written."

Bai Yiyi nodded as well.

This article is very beautiful; you can feel its beauty just by listening to Lu Ran's recitation.

With background music accompanying the recitation, it felt really good.

Zhou Hao asked, somewhat puzzled, "I've never heard of this article before. It's from some book that Lu Ran read, do you know?"

Bai Yiyi: "I haven't heard of this article either."

Time passes minute by minute.

The entire playground was very quiet.

Lu Ran's voice was like a clear spring in the forest, refreshing and pleasant, calming the restlessness in everyone's hearts.

The adults present reminisced about the past. The article came to an end.

"You are wise, tell me, why are our days gone and never to return?"

The past is gone and can never be returned to.

Time flies by too quickly.

After reciting the last sentence, Lu Ran bowed.

Immediately, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Only Li Haorui remained, clapping and thinking at the same time.

"Will my recitation of 'The Ballad of the Long Song' seem a bit perfunctory later?"

The article that Lu Ran recited sounded well-written.

Just as Lu Ran was about to step down from the stage, Sun Shengqiang asked, "Teacher Lu Ran, who is the author of this article? I would like to use this article as extracurricular reading material for the children to learn from."

"I wrote it."

Upon hearing Lu Ran's words, Sun Shengqiang's expression froze for a moment.

Zhou Hao and Bai Yiyi both showed surprise.

The crew members were also dumbfounded.

Feng Kang's face instantly lit up with ecstatic joy.

"No wonder I couldn't find this article online; it was written by Lu Ran!"

All of Feng Kang's doubts vanished.

Since it was written by Lu Ran, then everything makes sense.

Li Quan was full of questions; he felt his world was a bit blurry.

"What? Lu Ran wrote this? How come I didn't know about it?"

Sun Shengqiang quickly recovered and said, "Teacher Lu Ran, could you give us an electronic copy of the document?"

"Okay, I'll send it to you in a bit."

After speaking, Lu Ran returned to his seat.

Zhou Hao and Bai Yiyi looked at him differently.

"Lu Ran, I didn't expect you to be such a good writer," Zhou Hao said with a smile.

Although surprised, Zhou Hao also felt it was only natural.

Given Lu Ran's skill in writing lyrics, it seems quite reasonable for him to write an article about it.

The only problem is that this article you wrote seems a little too good.

"You flatter me, I'm still just a primary school student," Lu Ran said modestly.

Then it was Li Haorui's turn to go on stage and recite.

Thinking of the song "In a Hurry" that he had just heard, Li Haorui had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on.

His recitation of "Chang Ge Xing" and Lu Ran's recitation of "Cang Cong" were not even in the same league.

I felt his recitation was a bit perfunctory.

Once the recitation competition concludes, today's program recording will also officially end.

Feng Kang went directly to Lu Ran.

"Lu Ran, you're quite something, kid. You can even write essays."

Feng Kang has a relatively high level of cultural literacy; he could tell from the text that it was an essay.

Moreover, it is a rare masterpiece among essays.

As for just how remarkable this article is, he couldn't say.

But that's not important. The fact that the article "In a Hurry" appeared on their show already makes the show extraordinary.

With Lu Ran in this episode, the content is much more enjoyable and richer than the previous episodes.

Feng Kang has a deep understanding of this.

In the entertainment industry, some celebrities don't film movies or sing; they just record various variety shows.

These types of celebrities are also known as variety show personalities, and variety shows are essentially their works.

But variety shows aren't so easy to record.

Some actors are great at acting, but they don't perform well on variety shows.

After all, variety shows and TV dramas are not the same thing; there is something called "variety show sense."

Lu Ran has a great sense of variety show humor.

He has a good grasp of the appropriate degree in many things, and he doesn't preach to the audience.

Feng Kang could foresee that the audience would give this episode a good review after it aired.

"I also need to do some promotion and publicity; I must make sure the audience sees this episode and hears this brief story!"

He asked Lu Ran for an electronic copy of "In a Hurry," and Lu Ran explained his request.

"I plan to have the children sing 'Teacher Shunqi Ziran'. Teacher Zhou Hao and Teacher Bai Yiyi can also sing it together. I will just play the piano to accompany them."

Upon hearing this, Feng Kang immediately said, "No way!"

After understanding the situation, Zhou Hao and Bai Yiyi, who were standing nearby, also immediately refused.

Zhou Hao: "Lu Ran, what are you saying? Teacher Shunqizi gave you this song, and you won't sing it, but you want us to sing it? If I sing this song today, where will I put my face? No way, I don't agree. Either you sing it, or nobody sings it!"
