My College Teacher is My Children's Mom
Chapter 868: Fearless of the Future, Unburdened by the Past
After returning to the classroom.
As soon as Lin Feng sat down, his desk mate Jiang Anmin leaned over with a cheeky grin and said.
"Hey hey, Brother Feng."
"I heard several art schools came to recruit you?"
"Yeah, I turned them all down," Lin Feng said casually.
"What?? Why, Brother Feng? Were their offers not good?" Jiang Anmin asked in surprise.
"No, the offers were pretty good. One of them even offered a scholarship of 1.5 million yuan a year."
Lin Feng said indifferently.
"What??"
"1.5 million a year, that’s 6 million for four years!! Brother Feng!! You actually turned it down?!"
Jiang Anmin suddenly jumped up and said excitedly.
This caught the attention of everyone in the classroom. Luckily, it was a free study period, and there was no teacher around. Otherwise, Jiang Anmin would definitely have been scolded.
"Brother Feng, why??"
"That’s 6 million! It’s money that most people can’t earn in a lifetime!"
Jiang Anmin was acting as if it was happening to him, even more excited than Lin Feng.
Looking at his excited expression, Lin Feng said with a bit of helplessness.
"I don’t want to pursue a career as an actor or singer, so I turned them down for no other reason."
Jiang Anmin: "..."
Jiang Anmin was speechless for a moment, thinking how talented and rebellious he was...
Seeing him like this, Lin Feng wickedly thought to land another blow!
"Oh, by the way, I also turned down the school’s offer for direct admission to Tsingbei University without an entrance exam yesterday."
Lin Feng said very casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"Wo Cao!!"
This time, Old Jiang Jiang Anmin shouted it out directly!
The attention of the entire classroom was now drawn over, and everyone was curious about what was making Old Jiang Jiang Anmin excited one after another.
"Old Jiang, what’s happening, why are you getting so worked up repeatedly?"
Someone asked Jiang Anmin.
Jiang Anmin, still in shock, snapped back to reality upon hearing this.
He thought, I can’t be the only one shocked, I’ll let everyone join in, let’s see who dares to say I’m crazy...
"Uh, sorry everyone, it’s just that this is too shocking, I can’t help it."
Jiang Anmin pretended to be embarrassed, sparking everyone’s interest.
"Come on, Old Jiang, what’s going on that’s got you so worked up, tell us about it."
"Yeah, yeah!" everyone chimed in.
Anyway, their reading had been interrupted, so they might as well listen to some gossip and change their mood, they thought.
"It’s like this, wasn’t Brother Feng just called out by the teacher?"
"Several art schools came to recruit Brother Feng because, after all, Brother Feng’s singing skills are top-notch, right?"
"But guess what?"
At this point, Jiang Anmin deliberately paused for a moment.
Everyone was curious and felt a bit anxious!
"Come on, Old Jiang, stop keeping us in suspense!" everyone urged impatiently.
"Hehehe, Brother Feng turned them all down, even the one that offered 1.5 million yuan a year just for him to attend school. That’s 6 million in total over four years! And Brother Feng turned them all down!!"
"Do you think I’m excited or not!"
Everyone: "..."
"Wo Cao, 6 million... what a concept!"
"Brother Feng, what kind of divine operation is this!"
Everyone was speechless.
"Hey, it’s not over yet!" Jiang Anmin continued.
"Old Jiang, can’t you just say everything at once!!" everyone rolled their eyes and said.
"Hehe, everyone don’t get too excited, don’t get too excited."
"Also, our school offered Brother Feng direct admission to Tsingbei University without entrance exams, and Brother Feng turned that down too!"
"Wow..."
"What the fuck??"
"What kind of operation is this?? I don’t understand it..."
"Brother Feng, you’re so cheeky!!!"
Lin Feng looked at everyone making a fuss, wondering what was cheeky. How was it cheeky?
Lin Feng smiled helplessly.
"Brother Feng, remember last time you promised to sing a song for us, how about singing it now?"
Jiang Anmin suddenly remembered and spoke up.
"Yeah, yeah! Brother Feng, we want to hear it!"
The entire class was in an uproar.
Lin Feng took out his phone to check the time, there were only a few minutes left before class ended.
Oh well!
Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let’s sing a song.
After all, having been gifted with such excellent abilities by the system, letting it be covered in dust is not a good thing.
Looking at everyone’s expectant expressions, Lin Feng spoke.
"Alright, let’s sing a song then."
"Woo..."
"Oh yeah!!"
"Finally, we can hear the great master sing in person!"
Everyone was excited.
Lin Feng glanced around the classroom; besides the computer and microphone on the podium used for teaching, there wasn’t any other equipment, so he decided to sing an existing song.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and suddenly remembered an inspirational song that suited everyone’s mood as the college entrance exams were approaching.
Lin Feng got up and walked to the podium. Fortunately, the computer in the classroom was connected to the internet, so he found the accompaniment for the song "Brightest Star in the Night Sky" online.
Soon, the lyrics of the song appeared on the projector.
Lin Feng looked at the slightly youthful faces of the students below and softly said, "The college entrance exams are approaching. I hope everyone can get into their ideal university."
"This song, ’Brightest Star in the Night Sky’, is for everyone. I hope your future will not be lost."
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the music accompaniment began to play softly in the classroom...
Lin Feng picked up the microphone that teachers usually use for teaching, feeling the emotional rhythm of the song, his fingers lightly tapped along with the accompaniment on the podium rhythmically.
[The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear.]
[The loneliness and sighs from the hearts of those who look up...]
Lin Feng’s deep, magnetic voice started to resonate, softly like a gentle whisper in the ear, bringing a calm silence to the audience, everyone immersed themselves in it...
The music continued, the accompaniment shifted into a higher pitch, becoming more intense.
Lin Feng’s voice rose along with it, tightening everyone’s heart...
[I pray for a transparent heart and eyes that can shed tears.]
[Give me the courage to believe again, to embrace you beyond lies...]
[Whenever I can’t find meaning in existence, whenever I am lost in the night, the brightest star in the night sky, guide me closer to you...]
Lin Feng’s magnetic voice pierced through everyone’s hearts like a bullet, flooding their minds with an inexplicable emotion.
The song’s melody sometimes turned tender, sometimes soared high, as if narrating all the emotions in their hearts.
By now, class was over.
Yet everyone remained unaware of it, still immersed in Lin Feng’s singing.
Lin Feng’s singing had attracted attention from other classes, soon the corridor and the classroom door were crowded with people, everyone engrossed in the music.
Lin Feng also infused his emotions, memories from his past life gently weaving into the lyrics, releasing them.
The singing continued...
[Brightest star in the night sky, do you care, is it waiting for the sun to rise or an unexpected event.]
[I would rather keep all my pain in my heart, than forget your eyes.]
[Give me the courage to believe again, to embrace you beyond lies.]
[Whenever I can’t find meaning in existence, whenever I am lost in the night, brightest star in the night sky, illuminate my path ahead...]
The last lyrics came to an end.
Everyone remained deeply absorbed in the world created by the song, unable to extricate themselves.
Some had red-rimmed eyes, some clenched their fists tightly, while others had tears streaming down their faces.
Indeed, who hasn’t been lost before?
Everyone has felt lost and unsure, life’s unsatisfactory events are more than common.
Everyone has their own sense of perseverance and vulnerability; at this moment, Lin Feng’s singing stirred it up like emotions finding their outlet, uncontrollably...
After a long silence.
Lin Feng slowly emerged from his brewing emotions, slightly bowed towards everyone.
"Thank you!"
Only then did everyone awaken from their immersive world.
Someone started it, and applause roared.
Whether it was the people inside the classroom or outside, everyone applauded vigorously, the applause seemingly endless.
And the teachers from a few music colleges who had unknowingly arrived at the classroom door sighed inwardly.
A heavenly voice, such a pity...
Lin Feng’s mind was made up, his ambition lay elsewhere, leading them only to sigh.
Lin Feng had already returned to his seat, letting the emotions from his past life pour out with the song.
At this moment, Lin Feng felt relieved.
Though he had been reincarnated and never showed it,
Inside, he always felt slightly out of place in this world.
Only at this moment did Lin Feng truly belong to this world.
Fear not the future, forget not the past...
