Chapter 117 Comparisons are Odious
“That, you have to ask him yourself.”
Tu Hong laughed and pushed Lu Xuan forward.
“Here, ask away.”
“Uh…”
“This is Teacher Lu?”
Yan Bing and Sun Lei were dumbfounded.
When they came in just now, they didn't pay attention to Lu Xuan and the others.
They thought they were Tu Hong's students.
For a moment, they didn't recognize Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan touched his nose and greeted the two with a smile.
“Hello, teachers.”
“Hello, hello.”
Su Yao snickered on the side.
Obviously, Lu Xuan's reputation was greater than his actual appearance.
So much so that many people had heard of Lu Xuan, but had never seen what he looked like.
They couldn't even recognize him standing right in front of them.
“Teacher Lu, about just now… I’m sorry.”
Yan Bing smiled apologetically.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Lu Xuan waved his hand with a smile, not caring at all.
After a brief introduction, Yan Bing couldn't help but ask.
“Teacher Lu, that song just now, did you really write it?”
It wasn't that she doubted Lu Xuan.
It was because Lu Xuan was too young!
Standing with Su Yao, they looked just like a young couple in school.
Anyone who saw them would have the same thought as her.
“Actually…”
Lu Xuan was about to explain when Xiao Long interjected.
“Yes, Teacher Lu wrote this song.”
Yan Bing and Sun Lei exchanged a look, and said admiringly.
“I didn't expect Teacher Lu to not only have first-class directing skills, but also such accomplishments in music!”
“Truly a promising young man!”
“You flatter me, teachers.”
Lu Xuan said modestly.
Su Yao was happier than Lu Xuan when she heard others praise him.
Lu Xuan is mine!

“By the way, Teacher Lu, can I see the sheet music?”
“For that song just now.”
“*Jingzhong Baoguo*? Of course.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
Now that he had taken out the song, he naturally wouldn't hide it.
Tu Hong handed over the sheet music,
Signaling the two teachers to take their time to appreciate it.
He then began discussing the competition with Lu Xuan and Xiao Long.
“This song is perfect for me!”
“If I take it to the Golden Bell Awards competition, I have 100% confidence.”
“So, Teacher Lu, can I sing this song?”
Tu Hong looked expectant.
He retired back then because he couldn't find a suitable song.
His martial arts skills were useless.
Now that he had found one, he naturally wanted to sing again.
“Of course.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
He had discussed this with Xiao Long earlier.
Tu Hong would sing this song, *Jingzhong Baoguo* (Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty), to participate in this year's Golden Bell Awards competition!
With the force of thunder, shatter the prying eyes of foreign villains.
The Golden Melody Award has been lost, the Golden Bell Award cannot be!
The Golden Bell Award represents the most formal music award in the country!
If it is taken by those who are pro-Korean.
Then the face of the Chinese music scene will really be rubbed on the ground.
Seeing Lu Xuan agree, Tu Hong smiled again.
“Good!”
“It is a blessing for our generation that the Chinese music scene has a composer like Teacher Lu!”
“I’m just standing on the shoulders of giants.”
Lu Xuan was ashamed.
He couldn't bear Tu Hong's praise.
Seeing Lu Xuan so humble, Tu Hong couldn't help but glance at Xiao Long.
“You are much better than Xiao Long…”
Xiao Long: Yes, yes, a million times better than me!
Xiao Long's face was full of helplessness.
He really didn't want to argue with his teacher.
Before Lu Xuan appeared, he was Tu Hong's proudest student.
He would tell everyone he met.
After Lu Xuan appeared…
Well!
He directly became an dispensable shadow?!
It's true that comparing goods, you have to throw them away; comparing people, you get angry and die.
Although he felt that his teacher was biased, Xiao Long very much agreed with Tu Hong's evaluation of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan has the makings of a master!
I am not as good as him!
At this time, the two teachers had finished appreciating *Jingzhong Baoguo*.
They only felt a surge of heroism in their hearts.
“Good song!”
Only after careful reading can one discover the essence of this song.
It is truly masculine to the extreme!
Yan Bing carefully returned the sheet music to Lu Xuan.
She asked softly, “I heard just now that Professor Tu Hong is going to use this song, *Jingzhong Baoguo*, to participate in this year's Golden Bell competition?”
“Yes.”
Xiao Long explained.
“This year's Golden Melody Award in the Chinese music scene was won by a foreign language song.”
“If the Golden Bell Award falls into the hands of others again, then the Chinese music scene will never be able to raise its head again.”
Yan Bing and Sun Lei were silent.
As music teachers at the Kyoto Academy of Drama.
They were naturally very clear about this matter.
A foreign language song winning the Chinese Golden Melody Award.
How could they not be angry about this kind of thing that treats everyone as fools!
But… what can be done?
This era is the era of traffic.
In addition, the domestic creative atmosphere is also becoming more and more biased.
As teachers.
They can only watch helplessly as students, after finishing their classes, would rather sing, dance, rap, and "come" (derogatory term for K-pop styles)!
And are no longer willing to pick up textbooks and consolidate traditions.
If this continues, the soul of the Chinese music scene.
Will be lost!
However, in *Jingzhong Baoguo* written by Lu Xuan.
They saw a glimmer of hope.
“Professor Tu Hong, Teacher Lu, I wish you every success!”
“Victory!”
The two teachers offered their most sincere blessings.
They are among those who sincerely hope that the Chinese music scene will get better and better.
“Definitely!”
Tu Hong solemnly promised.
So, the matter was settled.
*Jingzhong Baoguo* was also submitted to the preliminary selection of songs for this year's Golden Bell Awards.
Sung by Tu Hong himself.
Lyrics and composition: Lu Xuan, Xiao Long.
Originally, Xiao Long didn't want to add his name.
He felt that he was not worthy.
But Lu Xuan insisted on adding it, so he had to add it, putting his name after Lu Xuan's.
After finishing, they waited for the results to be announced soon.
Wait until the top ten are selected before the re-election.
At that time, they will need to go to the scene to watch.
“Teacher Lu, you must come!”
Lu Xuan agreed.
Then, he left the Kyoto Academy of Drama with Su Yao.
When stepping out of the school gate, Su Yao looked back.
The youth within the school and the secular world outside the school.
It was as if they were in different worlds.
But fortunately, the person she loves most is by her side.
Then it doesn't matter!
Holding Lu Xuan's hand tightly, Su Yao leaned close.
“Where are we going now?”
“Of course, I’m taking you to have a good time.”
Lu Xuan held her hand back and said with a smile.
“Remember the low-end version of Peking duck I made for you after I went back last time?”
“The shop is nearby.”
“Let's go, I'll take you to eat it now.”
“Let's go, let's go, let's go!”
Su Yao couldn't wait to pull Lu Xuan forward.
She was so greedy for that Peking duck!
*Dong*—
Lu Xuan flicked her forehead.
“That way!”
“Ugh…”
Leaving the academy, Lu Xuan took Su Yao to play all around the area.
This was the first time the two of them went out on the street as boyfriend and girlfriend after they revealed their hearts.
“Na Na! Lu Bao’er…”
“I want to eat this!”
Su Yao held a string of orange candied haws, her mouth bulging like a little hamster.
But her eyes were still shining, looking around.
Wanting to try everything she saw.
All along, Su Yao has been busy with her career.
She rarely eats, drinks, and plays outside like a little girl like this.
Now that Lu Xuan is by her side.
Su Yao has put aside all her worries, eating whatever she wants.
Lu Xuan really dotes on her.
Wherever she points, he buys it.
If they can't finish it, they eat it together.
In the end, the two were so full that they couldn't eat anymore, so they sat on the recliner in the park to rest.
“Are we, like, on a date?”
Su Yao asked, leaning on Lu Xuan's shoulder.
Looking at the couples coming and going, she felt incredibly fulfilled and sweet.
“Of course.”
Lu Xuan rubbed his cheek against her hair.
Smelling the jasmine fragrance, his smile was incredibly gentle.
“My first date was given to you, you’re so lucky!”
“It's my first time too!”
“Hey~ isn’t that a coincidence!”
Su Yao smiled sweetly.
“However, I still want to have more firsts with you!”
“I promise you.”
“Pinky promise?”
“Pinky promise!”
Little fingers hooked, thumbs stamped.
The promise is made!
