Chapter 217 – A Sudden Confession
Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu came on stage, their appearance sparked a wave of cheers. Obviously, the freshmen were also familiar with the combination of Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan.
“Hey, it’s the two uncles who sing so well.” Xixi was a little surprised and pulled her father’s sleeve. The little girl’s eyes were very good, and she immediately recognized Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan.
“Yes, that’s them,” Yang Yi smiled slightly.
Under the dazzling lights of the stage, although Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan still looked ordinary and dressed casually, it was obvious that signing with the agency was a great encouragement for them. The two were full of energy, with shy but confident smiles on their faces.
“I’m lost in the winter of the north, wandering in the boundless wilderness, watching the flying geese fly away, missing her…”
The familiar melody and lyrics sounded, and Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu began their singing. Yang Yi couldn’t help but sway his head slightly, listening to their music. Although this melancholic folk song was still an unreleased work of amateurs, it was still pleasant to listen to.
Especially Lu Xiaoshu’s clean voice, like the northern snowfield, sang out their unique charm.
This was much more exciting than any other program so far in the entire party!
There was a difference between folk and rock music. The audience didn’t need to vent their emotions too enthusiastically, they just needed to listen quietly to appreciate the beauty of folk music.
Below the stage, not only Yang Yi, but also the other audience were immersed in it. Even Ding Xiang, who didn’t know how to appreciate music, listened attentively.
There were no twists and turns in between. Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu finished their song in full, followed by the enthusiastic applause from the audience. Yang Yi discovered that they had modified and improved the ending of the song, making it cleaner and more streamlined than the previous version.
Perhaps they had listened to his advice? Or maybe they had someone to guide them after signing with the brokerage company?
Yang Yi didn’t know the answer, but he didn’t mind either. He also smiled and applauded the two big boys who loved music.
After Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu finished their performance, although there were still voices below the stage calling for them to sing another song, the evening party continued as planned.
Xixi was a bit bored because the following programs were all very average, especially the sketch programs. She couldn’t understand or didn’t like them, so she kept pestering her father and asking, “Papa, when is it Uncle Guo’s turn?”
“Almost, almost.”
After repeated questioning and responding, it was finally Guo Ziyi’s turn to perform. The little girl who started yawning regained some energy.
“I want to see Uncle Guo!” Xixi couldn’t sit still on her little stool and insisted on squeezing into her father’s arms. She felt that sitting on her father’s lap would allow her to see more clearly.
Yang Yi was actually feeling a bit uncomfortable sitting on the small bench. As a tall guy standing at 1.87 meters, it was difficult to stretch out his long legs comfortably. But he still picked up Xixi and held her in his arms.
The scene of the party was very hot, but after all, it was autumn, with the night breeze blowing and the chill could penetrate the clothes. Holding his daughter, Yang Yi felt her icy-cold skin and it was heartbreaking to see her like that. However, Xixi refused to put on the coat her father had brought for her, so Yang Yi had to use his own body temperature to replace the sunshine and warm the little one.
After an introduction by the host, Little Fatty Guo, the top scorer of the Jiangnan College Entrance Examination, finally took the stage with his guitar. This guy didn’t have any stage fright at all. As soon as he came up, he winked and made faces at his classmates in the audience, causing many of the students who noticed to burst into laughter.
“Ahem!” Guo Ziyi fiddled with the microphone and adjusted it to his height, then said confidently, “Thank you to the host’s kindness, but let’s get rid of these labels of the top scorer. Today, Guo Ziyi is just an ordinary freshman who is here to sing for everyone!”
Below the stage, there was a burst of laughter. When the host introduced him as the top scorer earlier, many people were a little uncomfortable. Now, seeing his candid and straightforward demeanor, they felt much more comfortable. Many people even loudly cheered, stirring up the previously dull atmosphere. It was even more intense than Tang Kaitai’s at the beginning.
This was not something Du Yuanlei didn’t expect. She looked at the lively Guo Ziyi on stage with some surprise, feeling a bit regretful: “If I knew this person had such a great stage presence, I wouldn’t have arranged for Qin Wen to perform after him!”
Qin Wen was another new star at the Film Academy this year, a young actress who had appeared in many film and television works.
However, at this moment, Du Yuanlei saw that Guo Ziyi was looking at her with a straight and direct gaze.
“What does he mean?” Du Yuanlei looked around before confirming that Guo Ziyi was indeed looking at her, and she had a sense of foreboding.
Guo Ziyi on stage held onto the microphone on the stand and continued, “However, although I’m here to sing for everyone today, ahem, don’t get me wrong, the song I’m going to perform is not my original song, but a new song I asked from a really good friend that has not yet been released on the market.”
Ding Xiang, who was next to Yang Yi, chuckled and said, “What really good friend? Isn’t it just Big Brother Yang Yi?”
Xixi glanced at Ding Xiang confusedly, not understanding why Big Sister Ding Xiang mentioned her father’s name. However, she remained focused on watching Uncle Guo on stage. After all, wasn’t the reason for coming to watch the performances tonight just to watch Uncle Guo’s performance? .𝘤𝑜𝑚
Guo Ziyi continued, “I want to sing this song to a special person, the chief director of our evening party today, the most beautiful Senior Sister Du Yuanlei!”
Such remarks immediately caused a commotion.
It wasn’t that everyone thought there was anything wrong with campus romance, but the sudden confession was somewhat surprising.
After the commotion, there was a wave of applause, as well as bursts of uncontrollable laughter surrounding Du Yuanlei.
Du Yuanlei frowned as she found Guo Ziyi’s public display of affection difficult to accept, or even repulsive. She didn’t like this kind of ostentation, let alone someone with such a flamboyant personality.
“Senior Sister Du, this chubby guy is going to sing a love song for you!” a girl next to her teased.
However, Du Yuanlei’s face turned cold and glared over, causing the others to immediately fell silent.
After all, she was the director…
“’College Days’, I hope everyone like it!” Guo Ziyi was about to start singing. His voice was finally not as erratic. After snapping his fingers, he calmed down and began to play the guitar he was holding.
The intro was a bit long, and there were no piano chords, which seemed a bit thin, but the melody was still very pleasant, clear, and simple. It sounded like raindrops falling back and forth on the eaves.
The audience, who were originally discussing excitedly because of Guo Ziyi’s sudden confession, were also attracted by this melody. They calmed down and look back at the boy playing the guitar with his head down and deep affection.
Is this also folk music? Moreover, a campus folk music?
The Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu, who had not left the stage, was refreshed. Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan both looked at Guo Ziyi in some surprise. They listened attentively, wanting to learn from the lyrics and music of others, which was a habit of every musician.
“Through the sports field, let the rain wet us… when did my shy you turn lonely…” Guo Ziyi’s somewhat immature voice now reflected another value: youthfulness and cleanliness.
Unlike Lu Xiaoshu’s clean voice with a sense of vicissitudes, Guo Ziyi’s voice carries a youthful and clean impression, without intentionally simulating depth. Just softly humming such a campus folk song was enough to tug at people’s heartstrings.
