Uncle Zhu: "Hey Xin Yan, what's wrong with you, a young girl like you, playing those rough instruments again?"
'Amber, you're a Knight of Favonius, how dare you speak up for the Lawrence family?'
[Jixiang: "Xinyan, your mother said she wants me to teach you embroidery when I have time. Hehe, that's called a refined hobby. When will you come to Auntie's house?"]
'Amber, how could you go to the home of an old nobleman? This is betrayal!'
[Haibo: "It's so noisy! Stop playing the piano by the roadside! If you absolutely have to play, can't you at least play something decent?"]
'Ugh! Don't mention that damn Lawrence to me! If you absolutely have to, can't you go somewhere secluded?'
These are all stereotypes, but they are also genuinely hurting some people.
In their view, girls should do embroidery, and even if they play music, they should play the piano, not the 'rock' that Xin Yan plays.
That's too rude, not elegant at all, not like a girl's at all.
Stereotypes and labels make it seem like everyone is telling you what you should do, but nobody cares what you want to do.
So Xin Yan has been resisting, resisting these stereotypes.
She wasn't rebellious or rude; she just wanted to do what she liked.
What was supposed to be doing something you enjoy has unknowingly turned into 'rebellion'.
So this is what Xin Yan meant by 'Singing aloud in rebellion!'
Paimon angrily exclaimed, "What...what kind of talk is this? It's not human language at all!"
Paimon rarely says things like that when she's angry, so it's clear she's really upset.
Ichidou is a strong supporter of Paimon. He won't get angry if others say things about him, but he will get very angry if they say things about his friends.
Paimon is the same way, which is why she rarely gets angry. She has a very kind nature and rarely gets angry, even if others bully her or give her nicknames, she won't really get angry.
However, Paimon cares a lot about her friends, so she was genuinely angry when Xin Yan was told that.
If these people were talking about travelers, Paimon would probably be so angry he'd hit them, even if he couldn't win.
Xin Yan, the person involved, wasn't angry at all, because she had already gotten over her anger. Now, she was not only not angry, but she could also respond with a smile.
Xin Yan laughed, "Pfft... Some things might make you angry the first time you hear them, but after hearing them a hundred times, you won't get angry anymore. Anyway, thank you, Paimon."
Yes, Xin Yan had heard these words far too many times, and now she could easily deal with them.
Xin Yan didn't respond to them directly, but changed the subject, bringing up their own lives and children, and then those people left.
If you use meddling to deal with me, then I'll meddle in your business too. That's called 'using magic to defeat magic'.
It's clear that everyone is actually 'trapped' in their own lives, busy in this 'cage'.
Xin Yan does these things that others see as rebellious because she doesn't want to be confined to this 'cage'.
Xin Yan didn't care about rebellion or anything like that; all she knew was that this was what she liked.
If she likes something that others don't allow, something that stereotypes forbid, then—she'll sing a song of rebellion!
When she plays her music on stage after stage, it is the best way to rebel against these people!
After chasing away several neighbors, Xin Yan said to everyone, "You see, the right words and a natural smile can solve most problems."
She is truly open-minded, gentle, and has high emotional intelligence, which has made some readers who didn't like her at first start to like her.
Hu Tao is the same; she likes Xin Yan more and more. She already liked Xin Yan quite a bit, but now... she likes him even more!
In fact, when it comes to 'rebelling against stereotypes,' Walnut was a pioneer.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that she, as the head of the Rebirth Hall, made a decision that went against the ancestors' wishes and went to promote the Rebirth Hall's services is already very 'counterintuitive'.
But Hu Tao's rebellion is not about this; what she truly rebels against is her attitude towards all things in the world and towards life and death.
Everyone fears life and death, but she faced it with ease. The stone lion was an inanimate object, but in her eyes it was a lovely pet.
She was a person who did not live by conventional rules, but she was unusually serious about 'death'.
If you try to understand Hu Tao using 'common sense' or 'labels', you will never truly understand her.
After listening to Xin Yan's words, Wan Ye asked, "If that's the case, then where should the spirit of rock and roll be applied?"
Xin Yan laughed and said, "My rock and roll spirit isn't something superficial; it would be a waste to use it for arguing with people."
"Rock and roll is revolution! It's about reforming yourself, reforming your destiny, and bidding farewell to cowardice and retreat. And it's not just in words, it's in art!"
"A candle that never goes out in the wind and rain, lava that boils forever beneath the cave... an unstoppable, indomitable spirit—that's my rock and roll."
She's so cool; many readers were won over by her words and attitude.
She was as open-minded as Wan Ye, but in a different way.
Manyo is like the free wind, unrestrained and free. He enjoys life and everything the wind brings.
Xin Yan is a song of rebellion; it resonates throughout life, yet is also constrained by it. She rebels, but also enjoys it.
Chapter 439 Manyo Also Wants to Play Rock and Roll
Xin Yan and Hu Tao have similar attitudes, which explains why these two girls worked together in previous stories.
They are all people who live 'unconventional' lives, and they are all singing the praises of rebellion!
Wendy grew increasingly fond of Xin Yan and Wan Ye. No wonder the version of herself in the story sent them over together. Hmm, just like me.
Wendy could tell he was doing it on purpose; if he didn't want to be found, no one could.
It was clearly intentional for him to wait for travelers at the tavern with Wan Ye and Xin Yan.
These two are like the wind of freedom and the song of rebellion, respectively. They are exactly Wendy's taste, they are just like me!
It's a pity that one of them is a Liyue native and the other is an honorary Liyue native. Sigh, I can't afford to offend the old man and can't take the child away.
Mona in the story is also impressed by Xin Yan's attitude towards things; if someone told her she wasn't a genius, she would definitely get angry.
Paimon was very interested and wanted to give it a try.
Unfortunately, she was glared at by Mona before she could even try; if she had tried, she probably would have died.
Paimon exclaimed, "Hey, look, Mona's glaring at me!"
Paimon in the story didn't dare to try, and Paimon in real life also chickened out, but that's okay.
Because Lin Qiu had tried it for her, Mona did get angry, but after getting angry, she would deflate like a punctured balloon and hold it back.
He slumped onto the table like a puddle of water, muttering things like, "I'm just not as good as you," "I'm still a genius," and "That's right, I'm a genius."
It can only be said that Lin Qiu's evaluation really does affect her, after all, in the heart of Mona, the true prophet, Lin Qiu, the fake prophet, is the authority.
So Lin Qiu had to comfort the girl he had made cry, and he stopped teasing Mona about it.
[Manyo said, "To be honest, I'm starting to get a little interested in rock music."]
Manyo Rock? Nobody can imagine.
His image is that of a refined scholar with a touch of martial arts; it's hard to imagine him as a rock musician.
If he absolutely has to play rock, I hope he can team up with Ayato. The contrast between their affectionate gazes and expressions when looking at dogs and their rock music is just hilarious.
When Wan Ye suddenly flies into the sky with a "forgot to add cumin" and smashes the guitar in his hand with a flying grass, who can be more rock and roll than him!
The afterimage of Ayato in the water is also amazing; the speed of that afterimage must be incredibly fast.
If I had to pick, the members of the Inazuma boy band who are best suited for rock music are Sanbei and Ichito.
Needless to say, Yi Dou's 'voice, appearance, and smile' would be perfectly suited for singing rock music, and his makeup would also be appropriate.
The stragglers are also good, wearing that big hat and breaking dance on stage.
While others can only perform knee slides on stage, he can do it in the air.
Thinking about it this way, it actually seems like there's some potential...
Even though it's a promising venture, people still feel that Man Ye's image is better suited to singing, dancing, and rapping than to rock music.
But this is a story that breaks stereotypes, so if Manyo insists on playing the guitar and shaking his head...
Um... can we bring Xiao along? I want to see Xiao sing rock while wearing sunglasses! After forming the Inazuma boy band, we can also form a wind-themed boy band.
Wendy's always thinking about his drum set, so why isn't he just sitting around doing nothing? Go play some drums!
There's still one deer left among the Wind Men, let him play bass.
Putting aside the uncertain future of the Wind Man Rock Band, the characters in the story continue to move forward, and the silhouette they encounter this time seems to be a child.
We can't be sure, though; what if it's a short adult like Xiao?
Upon closer inspection, a little boy named Afei said, "Big sister, your hairstyle is so strange."
Children have simple understanding; they perceive anything that is different from others as strange.
"A braid standing upright, pointed hair ornaments—nobody else wears that."
Previously, the people in the illustrations attacked Xin Yan's hobbies; now they're attacking her appearance.
The child is right, Xin Yan's hairstyle is strange and different from everyone else's.
But why does it have to be the same?
Xin Yan told the children that different styles are more memorable, and that one's appearance and figure are not for others to see; one should dress up however one likes.
The child seemed to understand, but not quite. He only knew that if he wore his favorite "puppy robe," the other children would say he looked like a puppy.
What Xin Yan was rebelling against was everyone's prejudice, wasn't it?
Actually, that's not the case. Xin Yan wasn't rebelling against everyone's 'common sense' and 'prejudice'. She just happened to like them. She liked them, that's all.
Don't care what others say; just consider whether you like it or not.
So when children ask her if she wants to change her hairstyle, her answer is...
Xin Yan: "If I don't like it, I don't like it. I won't change it."
"I won't change it." These simple three words perfectly capture her carefree spirit.
The child didn't quite understand, but he cried and promised not to laugh at Xin Yan's hairstyle anymore.
He cried not only because of guilt, but also because his friends ignored him and avoided him.
He felt abandoned by his friends, which is why he was crying.
Xin Yan is a kind person and plans to help find A Fei's friends, who actually live not far away.
The children didn't ignore Afei; they just wanted to give him a birthday surprise and were waiting for him to come find them.
Unfortunately, Ah Fei was a bit timid. When he arrived here and couldn't see his friends, he thought he had been stood up and was heartbroken. He had no intention of looking for anyone.
In the end, it was Xin Yan who helped bring everyone together.
[Lulu's voice was adorable: "Silly boy, silly boy, we prepared a surprise for you, but you didn't come to see us, and you even cried..."]
[Ah Fei cried, feeling wronged, "I'm sorry, I'm stupid."]
Some readers might want to laugh at this point. The previous topic was rather serious, and this sudden turn of events makes it unclear whether it's appropriate to laugh now.
The children reconciled, and Xin Yan remarked, "Friends, it's not surprising they'd do something like this. If my friend prepared a surprise for me, I'd be shocked too."
[Mona teases: "Are you implying we'll surprise you? What a clever rhetoric..."]
She truly deserves to be called a genius. Although she was tricked by Lin Qiu many times, it was all because her mind was bewitched by the 'prophecy technique'.
Normally speaking, Mona has high emotional intelligence and IQ, so she won't be fooled.
Unless that person is a prophet even more powerful than her, currently it's just 'Triple Mona' and Lin Qiu who often play tricks on her.
Geniuses are not easily fooled, which makes it even more fun to fool them.
You can't outsmart a genius like Narcida, but you can outsmart geniuses like Mona and Shadow who have 'weaknesses'.
Lin Qiu shared this joy with Shenzi, who in turn taught Lin Qiu the skills of teasing shadows. Both of them had bright futures ahead of them.
