Chapter 86: Chapter 71: An Instant of Raging Snow, a Flash of Blossoms

Fang Youning leaned forward, her eyes on the stage in front of them. "Today, you two are the only ones singing anime OSTs. For people who have seen those two series, it should really resonate."

"True..."

Chen Yuan furrowed his brow slightly, then his eyes suddenly lit up as if he’d thought of something. He hurriedly opened the children’s song catalog and searched for a long time.

’They actually have this song!’

"If I want to change my song, is it too late?"

"You want to change your song *now*?" Fang Youning looked at Chen Yuan in surprise.

’They’re already on the twelfth performer. Time is too tight.’

"You’re up soon. Are you sure you want to change?"

"Yeah."

"I have to go wait backstage, so I can’t help you find the accompaniment. You’ll have to find the backing track and music video yourself. Once you have them, go find Si Yu. She’s in charge of that."

Fang Youning’s tone was rushed. "I have to get backstage. Just send me the song title, and I’ll have the host change the script."

"Okay."

Since Fang Youning had to go wait backstage, she didn’t have time to help. Chen Yuan had to do everything himself.

The backing track and MV weren’t hard to find. He quickly found them on Douyin and just had to download them to his phone.

Chen Yuan found Fan Siyu and explained the situation.

"No way, a last-minute song change?" Fan Siyu said, astonished.

"You didn’t even come to the rehearsal, and you’re about to go on. Is a last-minute song change really okay? It’s better to play it safe."

"It’s fine, just help me change it..."

Before Chen Yuan could finish, thunderous cheers erupted from the auditorium, lasting for a long time, as if they could blow the roof right off the dome.

Without a doubt, Fang Youning had taken the stage.

Tonight was a festival for the Fang fanatics.

The applause and cheers gradually died down, and Chen Yuan spoke.

"We’re running out of time. As long as it’s possible, please just change it for me."

Fan Siyu knew Chen Yuan was a free-spirited person. Since he had put it that way, she had no choice but to help him make the change.

"Add me as a friend and send over the backing track and MV."

"OK."

The two added each other as friends, and Chen Yuan sent the backing track and MV. The prep work was done.

Just then, Fang Youning began to sing.

’She’s singing even better. She really should get drug tested.’

With all preparations complete, Chen Yuan went to the side of the stage to wait.

As everyone watched, Fang Youning’s performance ended, and the entire auditorium once again erupted in thunderous applause.

The songstress truly had the skill to be the final act. None of the previous performers had achieved such an effect.

After she finished singing, the confidence on Fang Youning’s face vanished in an instant. She reverted to being that slightly timid girl, shyly walking off the stage.

"Good luck."

Fang Youning encouraged, handing the microphone in her hand to Chen Yuan.

"Thanks." Chen Yuan nodded.

The auditorium quieted down, but the audience members sitting on the side could already see Chen Yuan waiting to go on.

Liu Shiyu: "Boss! You got this!"

Sun Pengnan: "Who says the human race has no Great Emperor!"

Sheng Kangming: "Boss, I love you!"

The venue instantly fell dead silent. Sun Pengnan grabbed Sheng Kangming’s head and pushed it down.

"Shut the fuck up! You’re not the one who should be saying that."

Chen Yuan, who was waiting in the wings, also saw his three dorm mates.

It wasn’t just them; almost everyone from Telecom Class 1 was there.

Although he wasn’t as popular as Fang Youning, having his own people come to cheer him on was still a heart-warming feeling.

Sitting in the audience, Wang Chuyue gently nudged Song Jianye, who was sitting next to her.

"Nian Nian, the last one should be Chen Yuan, right?"

"Mhm, he’s up next."

Song Jianye tilted her head up. Even though Chen Yuan hadn’t taken the stage, his performance was eagerly awaited.

Just then, the host, dressed in formal wear, walked with steady steps to the center of the stage and said:

"Next up, we have contestant number 15, Chen Yuan from the School of Electronic Information and Computer Science, who will be performing ’Butter-Fly’."

Chen Yuan walked onto the stage, and the venue instantly fell dead silent.

On the large screen, a pink hat flew into the air...

Clenching her small fists tightly, Song Jianye’s gaze was fixed on Chen Yuan, and also on the screen...

The classic melody began, each note floating into her ears.

In an instant, snow fell in a flurry; in a moment, flowers bloomed.

At this moment, the young woman’s heart was stirred...
