Jingyi is the number one art academy in Huaguo.
A group of school leaders were discussing the situation of the "Huaguo Youth Theme Song" in the conference room.
The official body would have such song collection activities for schools every year.
Jingyi had almost always taken first place in these activities.
After all, they had the most top-tier teachers and the most outstanding students in the country.
Therefore, they were full of confidence this time as well.
Principal Yang Shouyi glanced at the school leaders in the conference room: "What are your thoughts on the current situation?"
Someone chuckled, "I think it's pretty much a sure win. After all, Zhao Shu is participating again this year. Last year, he won by a significant margin."
"Exactly. This time the singers are Shen Qingfeng and his sister Shen Qingling. Feng Ling Chuanqi is the hottest trainee group right now. Their singing has a very distinctive style, and even without song information, our students can recognize their voices."
"That's right, a large portion of our students are fans of Feng Ling Chuanqi, which is an advantage for us."
"This is a loophole outside the rules. Many schools have done this before, and it's not our first time. Moreover, our song quality is very good, so winning first place should be quite stable."
The school leaders were confident.
They had played a small trick in selecting the singers this time, choosing the school's hottest idol trainee group, Feng Ling Chuanqi.
The siblings Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qingling were the hottest trainees at the moment, with tens of millions of fans. The siblings not only had top-tier looks but were also very strong, which was why they were so popular.
Especially their group's vocal style was very unique and memorable, and their fans would recognize their songs instantly.
"Principal is truly brilliant. This way, even if the officials see through the issue, they won't have anything to say. Style is a personal characteristic and doesn't constitute a violation."
"Principal is brilliant!"
The school leaders showered Yang Shouyi with flattery.
He felt a bit smug.
It seemed that with Feng Ling Chuanqi, first place in this event was undoubtedly Jingyi's!
...
The youth theme song collection was still underway.
Qin Xiaoyuan was a student of performing arts at Jingyi. In her third year, she had already participated in several film shoots and gained quite a number of loyal fans.
She was also Shen Qingfeng's girlfriend, so she naturally wanted to support her boyfriend's competition.
With so many universities participating nationwide, it would take some time to find Shen Qingfeng and his sister's song among all these submissions.
"Why don't you just tell me the song title? I have to listen to them one by one," Qin Xiaoyuan sent a voice message to Shen Qingfeng.
"Don't complain, hurry up and search. We can't cheat," Shen Qingfeng replied.
"Pedantic. If you don't say it, and I don't say it, who would know..." Qin Xiaoyuan was a bit speechless.
However, her hands didn't stop.
She continued to browse the event page.
She clicked on a song, and upon hearing the first line, she knew it wasn't theirs.
She clicked on the next song again.
After more than a dozen songs.
She clicked on a song titled "Chasing Wind Youth".
The moment the singer's voice appeared, her eyes lit up.
This voice, with a touch of Western flair within its earthiness, and earthiness within its Western flair, wasn't that Shen Qingling?
"Yo yo! Check it out!"
When another voice appeared, she was finally sure. This was Feng Ling Chuanqi's style!
"Finally found it. As expected of my future husband. Even though it's only a few lines, it sounds so good."
Due to family reasons, her marriage to Shen Qingfeng was a business arrangement. However, they had been childhood sweethearts and already liked each other, so this was considered a rare blessing.
After listening to the entire song, she smiled and prepared to vote.
The song "Chasing Wind Youth" was already very pleasant to listen to, and even if it wasn't, it was sung by her future husband and his sister.
Regardless, she should vote for them.
Just as she was about to vote.
She was suddenly drawn to the song title behind it, and her hand paused.
"Youthful Huaguo Says?" Upon seeing the song title, Qin Xiaoyuan was full of surprise. "What an arrogant song title."
Naming it directly after Huaguo showed how much confidence they had in their work!
After all, only university students were participating in this event.
At best, they were at the level of senior producers. If the quality was poor, daring to use the country's name could result in severe public criticism.
"I want to hear how confident you are!" Qin Xiaoyuan became interested.
Did this song deserve its name!
Therefore, she didn't rush to vote for Shen Qingfeng's song but clicked on "Youthful Huaguo Says" for a preview.
"When the youth are wise, the nation is wise..."
Upon entering her ears, it was a chorus of children, accompanied by powerful, grand drumming.
Qin Xiaoyuan's smile gradually faded, replaced by a strange excitement.
"When the red sun rises, its light spreads..."
There was no Mr. Liang Qichao in the Blue Star, but that didn't prevent them from understanding the meaning of the lyrics.
The lyrics of this song, combined with Xu Song's composition, vividly portrayed the youthful vigor and the spirit of striving for strength.
"Youth has its own youthful pride!"
When the chorus arrived.
A surge of heroic spirit rushed to Qin Xiaoyuan's head.
The excitement made her face flush, and a fine layer of sweat beaded on her forehead.
Majestic! Dominating!
Various words flashed through her mind.
As her emotions grew more intense.
Qin Xiaoyuan was fully immersed in the song, to the point where she didn't notice she was holding her breath for a long time without exhaling.
"Strive for strength to be pillars, do not let youth be wasted..."
As the last note faded.
Qin Xiaoyuan finally recovered. Her pretty face was red from holding her breath, and she felt suffocated. Upon realizing this, she gasped for air.
This feeling was truly exhilarating!
The sense of pride that rose from the depths of her heart swept through her entire body.
Although she was not a youth, it didn't prevent her from being infected by the song's atmosphere.
That kind of vibrant energy and national pride was something every Huaguo person should possess.
Excitedly, she picked up the mouse, licked her dry lips, and moved the cursor to the voting area.
Real-name authentication on the campus network meant that each student ID could only cast one vote.
Without hesitation, she directly cast her vote for "Youthful Huaguo Says".
"Satisfying..."
After doing so, she let out a long sigh, but a peculiar feeling arose in her heart, like the thrill of doing something wrong and fearing to be caught.
"Ah? I cheated... Sorry, hubby, I promise this is the only time!"
Qin Xiaoyuan said, and then clicked on "Youthful Huaguo Says" again.
