Chapter 50: Good Morning Tomorrow

  In the morning, the campus radio mainly plays news. At noon, it broadcasts light music. In the afternoon, except for occasional lost and found announcements, the main function of the broadcasting room is to play songs.

  It's not necessary to say that, although Li Xiaobai liked to bury his head in books, he couldn't stand being ravaged by the campus radio broadcasts every day, and over time, he had some understanding of it.

  A warmth, a blessing, a concern... Today is the birthday of Wang Meng, a student from Class 8, Grade 3. On this special day...

  Turn on the microphone, with background music accompaniment, Xu Ran is reading out other people's carefully prepared blessings.

  ……

  Look at us yesterday, we've gone far away

  Waiting in the center of Tiananmen Square

  Those vague shoulders

  The faster you run, the smaller you become

  Former comrades who once marched side by side

  After raising their glasses in a toast, they all dispersed.

  That night alone

  Deeply hidden in my heart

  ……

  The melody sounded, and a classmate dedicated a song "Tomorrow Will Be Better" to Wang Meng.

  It's okay, although this song's melody is a bit sorrowful, it's also quite fitting.

  I remember one time when someone was having a birthday, and his classmates actually sang "Ding Xiang Hua" for him.

  That's obviously a song for the dead, their relationship is so good that they can transcend life and death. If someone sang this song to him on his birthday, Li Xiaobai would definitely beat him up until he didn't recognize his own mother.

  Fortunately, this situation will never happen because he has been in high school for over a year and no one even sings his praises.

  It's better not to recall, every time I fall into memories, my mood starts to get worse.

  After finishing his speech, Xu Ran put down the manuscript in his hand, turned around and looked at Li Xiaobai slowly.

  His cheeks inexplicably flushed, Li Xiaobai slightly tilted his head, and the girl's eyes were like sunlight, emitting heat. Being stared at by her made him feel like he was going to melt.

  However, Xu Ran's eyes seemed to have never left, and Li Xiaobai was somewhat annoyed.

  I've long heard that the student union is a group of people who are abnormal in handling interpersonal relationships, and in their eyes, there is no such concept as strangers. Now it seems, not wrong at all.

  "Really... Alright then, are you alone in the broadcast room?"

  Speaking is an effective way to avoid embarrassment, but Li Xiaobai was not good at it and had no choice but to force himself.

  "Wait a minute..." Xu Ran apologized with a smile, the first song had come to an end, and she began to read out the blessing for the second song.

  Normally, the broadcast room would first play other people's requested birthday songs and then play other requested songs. After all the requests have been played, they would start playing random songs prepared by the broadcast room itself. So, in the initial stages, Xu Ran and the others would be busy, but afterwards they would gradually relax.

  "What did you just say......" After the song was broadcast, Xu Ran smiled and said, "Right, is it about the hands of the people in the broadcasting room?"

  Seeing Li Xiaobai nodding, Xu Ran continued, "No, apart from me, there is another girl and a senior in the third year of high school. I am responsible for Friday and weekends. The other girl is responsible for Monday to Thursday. As for the station master, since he is already in his third year of high school, he doesn't usually come to the broadcasting station, only when we two have something to ask for leave will he come over."

  So it was like this, wait, why is it like this?

  Now Li Xiaobai somewhat understood why Lin Nan had brought them here. Because usually, one person could handle the workload at the broadcasting station, which also meant that with his arrival, it became two people.

  When there are many people, others may ignore you. Two people together can't not say a word, it's obvious that Lin Nan is making him practice conversation. It's a bit speechless, he's already in high school, and he's still being made to practice conversation, please, what subject are you teaching, English or some other foreign language?

  But if I were to have a conversation with him in English, my poor English would be an insult to him. Never mind, considering his smile is very therapeutic, let's just speak Chinese instead.

  But all the topics just now were thought out with great effort, what else can be discussed? By the way, what topics are girls interested in, no one told him either?

  Li Xiaobai picked up the microphone beside him and softly sang along to the song currently playing, trying to cover up his own awkwardness.

  "Why don't you broadcast this lost and found notice next?"

  Xuran said to Xiaobai Li after seeing a message on the campus public platform.

  "When I host a broadcast, my Mandarin is very standard, but when hosting a broadcast isn't it necessary to take an exam? Can you really work without certification?"

  For the first time, Xu Ran shook his head somewhat helplessly. "I kind of know why Teacher Lin Nan sent you here. Don't worry, no need to take an exam."

  Well, in that case, nothing is impossible.

  "Keep a distance of about 15cm from the microphone. Your lips and the microphone should be in a straight line. Also, when speaking, the volume should be moderate..."

  Under Xuran's guidance, Li Xiaobai opened the microphone. Although he was being guided by someone else, he didn't feel a bit ashamed. It must have been like this when Xuran first came, others also guided her step by step, it's just that there is an order to things, now the two of them are on an equal footing in terms of knowledge, and neither has anything to look down on the other for.

  "We have a lost and found announcement. Liu Jia, a student from Class 4 of Grade 1, has lost her pink wallet with the brand..."

  In a newly established activity room, everyone suddenly fell silent.

  "This voice sounds like your deskmate..."

  "Yeah, it seems like it's really Li Xiaobai. This guy is annoying, but unexpectedly his voice isn't too bad to listen to..."

  "What's this bastard doing in the broadcasting room," Guo Jing muttered, "Can it be true that all interested study groups can participate? Impossible..."

  In the office, Lin Nan's mouth corner revealed a hint of a smile, it seemed that Li Xiaobai was doing okay in the broadcast room, but didn't know how Xia Xiner was doing.

  Soon, Lin Nan's smile froze, and all that could be heard on the radio was Li Xiaobai continuing to say, "Is this okay? Hey, Xu Ran, why are you lowering your head, I'm asking you a question..."

  "Haha......haha......" In the activity room, Guo Jing was the first to laugh out loud, "Others are too embarrassed to even bother with him, but Li Xiaobai is still asking questions, it's really embarrassing..."

  "Turn off the microphone quickly..."

  Finally, a somewhat disheartened voice came out from the campus.

  The sound of laughter echoed through the campus once again.

  When putting down the microphone, Xu Ran gave Li Xiaobai a "you're awesome" look.

  Li Xiaobai didn't care about this, and said that a life without mistakes is not an exciting life. Of course, this was based on the premise of making small mistakes but not big ones. However, his cheeks started to feel hot again, which made people somewhat concerned.

  Are you catching a cold? Go back and take some medicine.
