I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 240: The Song Resounds

"As for the performance... whether it's singing or something else, it depends on Yuan Xiu's personal wishes."

Teacher Zhou said, "Yuan Xiu is right about something. The purpose of cultural and sports activities is not just to sing, dance, or do sports, but to make everyone more united and progress together! Communication is very important, and cultural and sports activities are the bridge."

"We also hope that Yuan Xiu will not let everyone down."

Yuan Xiu stood up again. "I will do my best to fulfill my duties."

After saying this, Yuan Xiu felt like she was back on duty.

"Will Yuan Xiu still sing?" Ding Xuewen asked.

Seeing Yuan Xiu looking at him, he continued, "Let's have one, Yuan Xiu. After all, you just said you were going to sing a song for your classmates, you can't take it back now."

"Why does Ding Xuewen keep bringing up Yuan Xiu? Teacher Zhou already said it was voluntary..."

"Yeah, something feels off. He was the one who recommended Yuan Xiu, but what he said..."

Some students in the class started whispering among themselves.

Ding Xuewen's smile froze after he vaguely heard this.

Yuan Xiu didn't give Ding Xuewen any more glances. "Then I'll sing 'Ode to Coral' for everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the students applauded, and the applause was so loud that even the second class next door could hear it.

It happened to be a self-study period for Class Two. Upon hearing the applause, someone quietly came over, peeked through the window, and then ran back inside.

"Someone in Class One is singing! And it's a solo!"

These words prompted several curious students to run outside.

Wu Xue: "What are you doing? Who gave you permission to run around like this? Stay in the classroom and study properly."

"We've already called it self-study, do you think we're still in elementary or middle school? Does self-study necessarily mean staying in the classroom? Self-study is for studying on your own. We only take attendance during class, not during self-study. So, whether we stay in the classroom or not is up to us."

After they finished speaking, the students left the classroom.

Just then, the singing from next door came over.

"A tree of red blossoms reflects the blue sea, a ball of flame rises from the water. The coral tree's red color remains forever in spring, blooming amidst wind and waves. Clouds come to obscure, mist comes to cover..."

"That voice is so bright!" said a student from the north.

"Who's singing in Class One? They're singing so beautifully! It's powerful, emotional, and conveys the spirit of 'facing the wind and waves,' while also expressing the warmth of the close bond between the military and the people!"

The students in Class Two became even more curious, and more people left the classroom.

Wu Xue couldn't control herself, and driven by her own curiosity, she went along too.

"...Clouds come to cover, fog comes to shroud, yet the flowers shine brightly through the clouds and fog. The wind blows, the waves crash, yet the flowers bloom eternally despite the wind and waves."

After she finished singing, Yuan Xiu noticed that many people had climbed up outside the window.

Almost simultaneously, loud applause erupted both inside and outside the classroom!

Yuan Xiu bowed slightly, her face flushed, and sat down with a smile.

Teacher Zhou laughed and said, "I didn't expect Yuan Xiu's singing voice to be so loud! This is definitely stage-performing quality! From now on, our class won't be afraid of any school-organized arts activities. Let Yuan Xiu sing a song on stage, and we'll definitely get one of the top places!"

After saying that, he pointed out the window and said, "Look, that's real power!"

The students all laughed.

This time, Yuan Xiu didn't modestly claim that she only knew this one song. After all, songs are all learned through practice. As long as you have a good voice and the right emotions, it's impossible to sing badly.

That's too modest. What if some people believe it?

While clapping along with his classmates, Ding Xuewen felt uneasy. This Yuan Xiu could actually sing? And she sang quite well.

How can a married housewife have such abilities?

In Ding Xuewen's view, the word "literary and artistic" should not be associated with a married woman like Yuan Xiu, who is ignorant of progress and what true love is.

She must be backward and ignorant.

She doesn't even understand modern Chinese poetry...

Ding Xuewen did not admit that this was his prejudice against Yuan Xiu, but attributed it to his ability to judge people very accurately.

This time, however, it doesn't seem to be particularly accurate...

"Why is Yuan Xiu from your class singing in class? She's attracted all the students in our class, and we can't stop her..."

During her free time, Wu Xue came to find Ding Xuewen and asked him about this matter.

Ding Xuewen, of course, wouldn't mention that he was almost "removed" by his classmates. He only said, "I resigned from my position as the arts and sports committee member from Teacher Zhou and then recommended Yuan Xiu. Since I was going to be the arts and sports committee member, I had to be respected by everyone. The reason why Teacher Zhou was able to entrust me with this important task and why I received the support of my classmates was because everyone believed in my organizational skills and artistic talents..."

"You're so capable, why did you resign from your position as the sports and arts committee member?" Wu Xue asked.

"Because I want to focus my energy on the poetry club and strive to publish a collection of poems in the name of our poetry club during my freshman year."

Wu Xue's eyes lit up. "You can do it! I believe in you!"

Wu Xue's admiration stirred a surge of pride within Ding Xuewen!

What's the use of being just a class sports and arts representative if you do a great job?

When the poetry club he manages publishes its collection of poems, the whole school will be proud of him!

Just as Ding Xuewen was lost in his own fantasies, Wu Xue began praising Yuan Xiu: "This Yuan Xiu is quite surprising. I didn't expect her to be so outstanding. Since she was able to become your class's arts and sports representative, she must have some special talents. She sings really well! It's just a pity..."

She shook her head. "A capable and talented college student, married a soldier at such a young age..."

How many soldiers are educated?

She didn't dare say it out loud, but sighed inwardly: What a pity.

Ding Xuewen suppressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "Everyone has different ideas. Being excellent in other areas doesn't mean that one's thinking is equally excellent."

Wu Xue nodded: "That's true."
