Chapter 29: Act V: Avenue Q (1)

It was said that Einstein had a specific quote.

A young man asked Einstein: "Can you explain the theory of relativity in the simplest terms?"

Einstein replied: "If you have a date with an 80-year-old lady and you spend two hours with her but she bored you to tears, you will feel that it is as long as two days. If you have a date with a wonderful young girl and have great time with her, the two hours feel as short as two minutes."

Xiang Cai read this little magazine snippet in his childhood. In fact, he still didn't know understand what the theory of relativity was about, and for him, physics was more like a heavenly book.

But he felt that this little paragraph was right about one thing—when he was in a good mood, time inadvertently slipped away between his fingers.

The days when he just switched to the Musical Theatre Department were the darkest, most helpless, and most confused times in his life. During that time, he almost held his fingers and counted day by day.

But when he truly rebuilt his confidence and began to let go of his former burdens, embracing his new self, the world suddenly regained its color before his eyes.

He began to learn to coexist with his classmates, and he was no longer alone in his dorm. He no longer needed to avoid the old injuries on his feet. In the dance class, if he encountered movements that he couldn't bear, he generously raised his hands to rest.

Teacher Chu Ping said that he had changed, he had become sunny, confident and cheerful.

The head of the department said that Xiang Cai had not 'changed', but 'reverted back'.

He was the wonderful seedling that once made all the ballet babies grow, and still a good seedling even though transplanted to another field.

With a suddenly enlightened state of mind, Xiang Cai's life was like pressing the fast-forward button and running quickly.

The Musical Theatre Department finally ushered in the final exam of the semester. They had trained for the musical Rachmaninoff for a long time. Xiang Cai won three assessment songs during the draw with good luck: two solos, and the "Yelena" duet with Dr. Dahl and Rach.

Fortunately, in his hand, he had the accompaniment track that Wang Qingyun helped synthesize, otherwise he would not be able to sing the dual role by himself.

After leaving the exam room, he happily reported, rejoicing to Wang Qingyun. Although the final results had not yet come out, according to the examiner's face, his score would not be low.

Yiming Qingyun: How was the exam?

Yiming Qingyun: Then how will you repay me?

guess: Then ... I'll send you a red envelope ...

After this final exam, Teacher Chu sent a red envelope in the class group. The amount was not large, but the odds and ends added up, and there was a lot of money. Don't look at Xiang Cai's old phone model, everytime a red envelope was sent to the group, he could always grab it. Although it was only one or two cents individually, when added together he accumulated 666.

This number were very auspicious, and he hoped to give this good luck to Wang Qingyun.

guess: [Share red envelope]

Yiming Qingyun: Why is this kid so unsuspecting?

Yiming Qingyun: In your eyes, am i someone who would ask you to repay me with a red envelope?

guess: [Meng Goose shocked].jpg

guess: no no no no no!

guess: I know Yun Da did not ask for a red envelope! But I really want to thank you!!!
