My "academic genius" persona is so convincing!

The third floor of the villa has a huge sound system and a projection device.

"This is practically a private cinema!"

Chu Ming also sighed.

"You've come too."

Xu Ce and several classmates also came in.

"Yes, it's a bit noisy downstairs. Let's wait for dinner. Auntie and the others are cooking; it'll probably take about two hours," Xu Ce said.

Chu Ming didn't care about that.

"Come on, let's set up the equipment and start singing."

I did some simple adjustments to the equipment.

Chu Ming handed the microphone directly to Xue Lin.

"You try it first."

Xue Lin took it, nodded naturally, and then stood in the center.

The others were also looking at him.

They also have high hopes for Xue Lin's singing skills.

"This is the first time I've ever heard Linzi sing," Xu Ce said.

However, immediately after Xue Lin spoke, Xu Ce's face froze completely.

This……

Tone deaf?

Or is it out of tune?

"This might be a problem with the equipment. Let me adjust it again," Chu Ming quickly said.

I was thinking of helping Xue Lin with some adjustments.

But Xue Lin stopped him directly.

What equipment is malfunctioning?

That's how he sings.

Of course, it was this body. In his previous life, he was known as the Iron-Voiced Old Doctor. Although his voice was still unpleasant, it wasn't quite like that.

"As expected, outstanding people aren't outstanding in everything."

"Brother Lin, you've shattered my image of you as a top student."

"Just like the streamers on Moyin, those who are good-looking will show their faces, while those who sing well have already shown their voices."

indeed.

I hadn't heard Xue Lin sing much before, so I was really looking forward to it.

This shout shattered everyone's expectations.

However, Xue Lin ignored everything and finished singing the song.

The people below didn't find it torturous; they just found it funny. Actually, sometimes, as long as you're natural and confident, it doesn't matter if you sing off-key.

It's just for fun.

Coupled with Xue Lin's confidence, it creates a contrasting feeling for others.

all in all.

Xue Lin didn't care.

"One, two, three, four, five, five people, at least give me a music-related entry today."

He also looked expectant.

Who's singing?

Someone opened the door; it was Lin Yueyao.

At that moment, upon opening the door and seeing Xue Lin put down the microphone, he was slightly taken aback and surprised.

"Xue Lin, you...were you singing just now?"

"Yes," Xue Lin nodded, smiling.

Lin Yueyao's expression turned strange.

She even had a faint smile on her face.

"I just finished my work, how about we sing a duet?"

Xue Lin, "..."

"Okay." Before Xue Lin could even speak, Chu Ming immediately agreed on his behalf.

"It's rare for the class beauty to have such a refined interest, so Linzi naturally can't refuse the birthday boy, can he?"

Even Xu Ce, who was standing to the side, started winking and gesturing for him to hurry up and go up.

"Hurry, hurry, I need to record a short video and post it on my Moyin account," Chu Ming said. "This could be the future top scorer's embarrassing history!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Lin paused for a moment, then spoke with a slightly serious expression.

"This isn't some dark history, it's just the path I came from."

"Okay, okay, let's go back the way we came. I'll request a song."

"How about this song, 'Through Thick and Thin'?"

"Sure, no problem, I'm not picky about songs," Xue Lin said readily.

Everyone found Xue Lin's serious expression even more amusing, but they all held back their laughter.

Immediately afterwards, the two began to sing a duet.

Lin Yueyao's expression changed as soon as Xue Lin spoke.

He hadn't expected that the singing he had just heard outside was actually from Xue Lin.

In her eyes, a boy like Xue Lin should be well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic development, but she never expected that his achievements in music would be so difficult.

But she listened attentively, because Xue Lin was really singing very seriously, even though her singing was terrible.

Next up was the female version.

As soon as Lin Yueyao spoke, the eyes of the others lit up slightly.

This song, this voice, is just perfect for Lin Yueyao!

It is ethereal yet carries a touch of deep affection and melancholy.

This voice is extremely captivating, and considering he's only a high school student, he clearly has a lot of potential for future development.

Even Xue Lin was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Lin Yueyao to sing so well; he hadn't noticed it before.

But thinking about it, it makes sense, since he hadn't paid much attention to Lin Yueyao.

"Now I finally understand why Yao Yao's house has such a huge home karaoke room. If I sing that well, I should have one too!"

"Does your family have the means?"

"No, let's get something simple, at least a speaker for outdoor use."

"The one who does square dancing?"

"go."

……

Then, they returned to Xue Lin's mode, and the group put on masks of pain.

There is no harm without comparison.

Moreover, Xue Lin's confident expression made him seem nothing like someone who couldn't sing.

But in reality, it really doesn't!

The group alternated between a mask of pain and a state of temporary clarity, as if listening to celestial music, their eyes flashing black and then bright again.

Soon, the song ended, and both of them kept their eyes closed, still savoring the song.

At this moment, Chu Ming was already playing the recorded song on the loudspeaker.

"If you post it online, remember to use a beauty filter on me," Xue Lin said without even opening his eyes.

He doesn't care whether it's posted online or not. If he can get two or three more comments, that would provide him with more music-related entries, which would be great.

"Brother Lin is already very good-looking, he doesn't need any filters, but his singing voice... well... needs improvement."

Someone spoke up.

"Yes, I will. I'll go back today and start learning with my music book," Xue Lin said.

Lin Yueyao, who was standing to the side, simply smiled.

"Actually, Xue Lin's voice is quite good; she just needs to practice her technique."

"Look, even the class beauty praised me, right? Wait until I've mastered it, then I'll amaze you all!" Xue Lin said with a smile.

Everyone laughed and joked.

But while others were genuinely laughing, he was speaking seriously.

……

Finally, there was a meal.

After finishing his meal, Xue Lin returned home.

He wasn't just saying it for show.

When I got home, I actually picked up the music book and started studying, referring to the music lessons.

"Should we find a musician to teach us?"

"Forget it, just follow the online public course guide, that should be enough."

His ability to learn color-coded words is no joke.

Self-study is perfectly sufficient. As for hiring a musician to teach you, you'll probably only make rapid progress in a short period of time before you don't need to.

……

At the same time, Chu Ming quickly posted the video of Xue Lin and Lin Yueyao singing online.
