The Taoist saying "Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things" originally meant this.
Making money from comics, buying everything with that money, having both dreams and a livelihood—it's practically the most perfect state of life.
Lin Mo felt like he had reached the pinnacle of his life, just one step away from achieving it.
He raised his fist and shouted, "I will work hard!"
The entire class was drawn to him, and they all craned their necks to look at him.
"What's wrong with Brother Ma this time?"
Ever since Lao Wei personally gave Lin Mo this nickname, most people have started calling Lin Mo "Brother Ma".
Ms. Xiaotian was very touched. She thought that Lin Mo had already mastered math and was ready to conquer Chinese. Perhaps he was the legendary hidden academic genius.
If he wants to learn, he will definitely learn well. He can make up for the wasted years in no time.
"Lin Mo, since you are so determined, your teacher believes in you."
Teacher Xiaotian smiled gently and kindly, like an angel opening its arms to embrace Lin Mo's tainted heart.
Lin Mo felt instantly ashamed. "I'm sorry, Teacher Xiao Tian, I have let you down."
Teacher Xiaotian opened her textbook, ready to begin the lesson, when Director Wei, with his flowing bangs, strode into the classroom with an air of indifference.
Again.
Ms. Xiaotian seemed to have expected this. She covered her forehead with one hand and asked, somewhat embarrassed but politely, "Director Wei, is there something you need?"
Old Wei coughed twice: "Don't worry, I'll only say two sentences."
He walked up to the podium, looked at the many students rolling their eyes, and forced out a creepy smile.
If Teacher Xiaotian's smile is full of healing light, then Lao Wei's smile is a rose with thorns, extremely lethal.
"Everyone, our Mingyue High School's annual arts festival is about to begin, and of course our class will participate as well."
As he spoke, Lao Wei casually tossed his bangs, displaying the demeanor of a sophisticated lady from Qingdao.
Teacher Xiaotian was sweating.
Why did they have to choose my class? You have so many of your own class hours…
"Ms. Xiaotian, I hope you can help our class put together a few excellent performances, and then we can choose the best one to participate in the school-wide performance. You know that I'm not very good at anything except math."
Old Wei spoke sincerely, and the students were very respectful, looking at Teacher Tian expectantly.
Lin Mo knew perfectly well that this behavior was akin to moral blackmail, but he still hoped that Teacher Tian, rather than the bald-headed Lao Wei, would be the one organizing the cultural and recreational activities.
This is naked human nature!
Everyone likes truth, goodness, and beauty, but dislikes real ugliness.
Old Wei seemed to understand the reasoning behind it, but he didn't mind. He had lived like this for more than 30 years. Besides, he was willing to give up the hot potato of organizing cultural and recreational activities, and his math classes could be full of practical information. He would never squeeze out a second of rest for these kids.
If you're going to exploit someone, exploit the easy-going Ms. Tian.
Unable to withstand the collective "pressure" from the students, Ms. Xiaotian eventually compromised and agreed.
"Okay, I hope our class can achieve good results."
Old Wei, beaming with satisfaction, left the classroom after a triumphant start, and subconsciously called out, "Li Qi, what are you still doing in the classroom? Go stand outside as punishment."
"Teacher, I didn't do anything today."
Li Qi complained.
Old Wei touched his bald head, then laughed to cover up his embarrassment and left the classroom.
"Everyone must participate in this performance. You can sign up individually or as a group. You have one day to think about it. Go to Xia Luoluo's place tomorrow to fill out the registration form."
Ms. Oda gave the gentle command, and basically no one could resist such a request.
Even Lin Mo, who originally had no intention of participating, felt that he had to do something for Teacher Xiaotian, otherwise he would be letting her smile down.
"Ms. Xiaotian, what should we do if we really can't think of anything?"
Li Qi asked honestly that he had no other talents besides playing basketball.
Ms. Xiao Tian stroked her chin, pondered seriously, and realized that most of the students in the class were indeed mediocre and lacked artistic talent.
"Okay, I'll list some options for you. If you really don't have any ideas, just follow the options and sign up."
Teacher Xiaotian quickly wrote down five categories on the blackboard: poetry recitation, dance performance, singing performance, drama performance, and skit performance.
"Let's register in this direction. Now let's continue with the class."
Teacher Xiaotian began her lecture, and Lin Mo buried himself in his script.
Ye Zimo's eyes lit up. It seemed that it was time for her to show off her skills again. She was determined to make Lin Mo admire her and kneel on the ground begging her to convert him!
She put down her comic book, turned her head to look at her deskmate Lin Mo, who was writing a script in her notebook and was completely unaware of Ye Zimo's furtive glance.
Script for the 19th chapter of "Yokai Contact List"?
Isn't this the comic I'm following?
Ye Zimo not only enjoys reading physical comics, but also likes watching anime series on various websites.
Although she doesn't like leaving comments for authors, she remembers that the author has a very cute cat and often posts cat photos to fill up the page.
Moreover, the update speed is extremely slow, only two updates a month, making it the epitome of a lazy bum.
She had thought before that she would find this author, lock him in a dark room, and make him write more chapters for her!
I never expected that this guy would be right in front of me, and he was the very person I was supposed to repay!
Should we just kidnap him and take him home?
Wait, what if I've misunderstood, and he's just the one who provides the script, with a team behind him?
But someone so lazy and unambitious can't possibly be part of a team.
Ye Zimo hesitated as she watched Lin Mo write out a scene.
The plot was completely different from what she had imagined!
It was a complete plot twist! But it was also very exciting; no wonder it's a comic she follows!
Lin Mo's image was instantly elevated in Ye Zimo's mind. She originally thought he was just a poor student with a somewhat bumpy background, but she never expected him to be a cartoonist.
Chapter 24 The School Beauty's Determination
Inside Class 6 of Senior Three.
Li Qing sat quietly at her desk, closed her textbook, and cast a shadow with her thick eyelashes. She was determined to outshine everyone at this arts festival and reclaim her dignity as the school beauty!
Ever since the video of Ye Zimo and Xiao Ju playing tennis spread, many people on the school forum have begun to question Li Qing's status as the school beauty.
Especially the freshmen, who had never seen Li Qing's talents before, became fans of Ye Zimo the moment they saw her skills, which were comparable to those of the national tennis team. They even started clamoring on the forum to re-elect the school beauty.
Does Li Qing care about the status of the school beauty?
I didn't care at first.
Not counting kindergarten, she was the school beauty from elementary school onwards. Even after entering high school, no girl could shake her status as the school beauty. Basically, wherever she went, the spotlight would turn on. She was a protagonist-type character with her own halo.
She didn't care about the title of "school beauty" at all, because it was something that belonged to her from birth, as if it were a term tailor-made for her.
So when someone actually tried to take the title, she became emotional.
What she cared about was someone trying to take away what rightfully belonged to her, not the title of "school beauty".
Therefore, she has signed up for the arts festival, and she will definitely prove to the whole school that she is the chosen one and the undisputed number one beauty.
New female student, I'm sorry, you can't take what belongs to me.
Li Qing was very curious about Ye Zimo, and consequently, she also became curious about Lin Mo.
Her younger brother, Li Mao, who shares the same parents, is in the same class as Lin Mo.
After their parents divorced, the siblings lived with their father and mother respectively, and had virtually no contact with each other. If it weren't for Mingyue High School, they probably wouldn't see each other even once a year.
Therefore, no one at the school knew that the prematurely aged Li Mao had a school beauty sister.
Li Qing didn't want to tell anyone that the middle-aged man, Li Mao, was his younger brother.
If it weren't for her curiosity about Ye Zimo and Lin Mo, she would never have thought of her younger brother, Li Mao.
They didn't grow up together, so the siblings' relationship was extremely distant.
"Li Qing, wanna play tennis?"
Her best friends picked up their rackets and waited for her at the classroom door.
Influenced by Ye Zimo's tennis match, the girls in the school have recently started learning to play tennis, and they go to the tennis court in twos and threes.
Li Qing shook her head: "I'm not going. You guys go ahead. I still have to go broadcast."
Li Qing declined their invitation and left the classroom alone, going to the broadcasting studio on the third floor of the multi-functional building to begin her evening broadcast.
Not only is she sweet-looking, but her voice is also incredibly magnetic, making her the dream girl of most boys at Mingyue High School.
But Lin Mo, who was working while attending school, had no chance to hear her broadcasts, as the broadcast times coincided with his work hours.
Lin Mo and Ye Zimo sat in the convenience store minding the shop. Today, Xiao Ju didn't hide in the bushes but instead followed Ye Zimo to mind the shop.
She was so adorable that the disheveled middle-aged man even forgot to sleep and just stayed by her side, teasing her.
Then, Lin Mo hesitated whether to call 120 for him first, because the super-strong girl Xiao Ju could make his old bones crack with just a punch.
Have you decided which talent you want to apply for?
Ye Zimo asked curiously. It was rare for her to be curious about anything, but Lin Mo was a special case who could always evoke various emotional fluctuations in her.
"I don't have any special talents."
Lin Mo scratched the back of his head in frustration. "And I feel like I don't have enough time. I've been very busy lately."
Lin Mo didn't mention his comic drawing career. He kept a low profile about it, after all, he was still an unknown part-time artist.
Anyway, they were just supporting characters to Xia Luoluo, and Xia Luoluo basically took over all the class's cultural and artistic activities in the end.
Although she is a fujoshi (a female fan of male-male romance), she has many ideas and is quite talented. She can sing and dance, which is why she was chosen as the entertainment committee member.
Therefore, with the mindset that participation is more important than winning, Lin Mo decided to give Teacher Xiao Tian face and sign up for a poetry recitation.
