You get what you pay for. The Master-level Musical Instrument Proficiency, which cost ten thousand points to draw, was indeed amazing.
The moment Qin Tian received the guitar, he felt as if a martial arts master were holding a peerless sword, its unsheathed power astonishing all.
Compared to Li Xun's performance earlier, this expensive, high-end guitar seemed to have finally reached its greatest potential in Qin Tian's hands.
The melodious, clear, and rich tune, like the sound of a clear mountain spring flowing, drew everyone present into the melody.
All the students in the two class formations remained silent, their surprised gazes fixed on the tall figure playing the guitar.
Xia Nuannuan sat on the ground hugging her knees, her eyes almost enraptured as they met Qin Tian's.
Qin Tian's handsome face was adorned with a bright smile, and his warm, magnetic voice rang out.
"I send a letter without an address, such a feeling, there's a distance…"
This was a very popular song, and most people present could easily sing along.
But at this moment, no one opened their mouths to sing; they simply listened quietly.
Qin Tian's singing skills weren't professional-grade, but accompanied by the Master-level Guitar Proficiency, the singing he produced was no less impressive than that of a professional singer.
Furthermore, the genuine affection and fondness he infused into his voice for Xia Nuannuan further elevated its impact.
Some say music itself is a language; it speaks and never lies.
Listening to Qin Tian's song, the surrounding crowd subconsciously compared it to Li Xun's performance, the difference in quality stark.
Coupled with Su Yan's words earlier, many people's thoughts began to subtly shift.
Perhaps…
Su Yan wasn't wrong!
This scene was what true affection should look like.
"I can, go with you to see the stars, no need for further explanation, I just want to be with you—"
As he reached the chorus, Qin Tian's smile widened, his tone rising, making the song even more captivating.
A pair of faint dimples appeared on Xia Nuannuan's beautiful face, her eyes sparkling with a smile, her heart filled to the brim with happiness and sweetness.
Many girls from both classes looked at her with envy, imagining themselves in her place, becoming the female lead in this romantic story.
"Nuannuan, come here!"
After singing half the song, Qin Tian continued the guitar accompaniment and called out to Xia Nuannuan with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan blinked, a shy blush creeping onto her pretty face, appearing a little embarrassed.
"What are you waiting for? Go!"
Cheng Meng, standing beside her, nudged her impatiently.
Gathering her courage, Xia Nuannuan stood up and, under everyone's gaze, walked to Qin Tian's side.
"You know this song, right?"
Qin Tian asked with a smile.
"Yes, but I don't remember the lyrics!"
Xia Nuannuan replied somewhat flustered.
"It's okay, just follow me."
Qin Tian smiled slightly.
Xia Nuannuan pecked his head with a blush, her expression a little nervous.
"I send a letter without an address…"
As Qin Tian's voice began again, her nervousness largely subsided.
Receiving Qin Tian's signal, Xia Nuannuan nodded slightly, indicating she remembered the next lines, and picked up the song with a tacit understanding.
"Such a feeling, there's a distance."
Her voice, like her person, was sweet, like a warbler leaving the valley, melodious and pleasant.
They exchanged a smile, and Qin Tian followed with the next line.
"Whose song are you listening to."
"What kind of mood, can you tell me."
…
Even if Xia Nuannuan forgot some lyrics, through their seamless exchange of glances, Qin Tian could perfectly fill in the gaps.
In the final chorus, they sang together, their voices blending perfectly.
"I can, go with you to see the stars, no need for further explanation, I just want to be with you, I don't want, to be separated from you once again, how I wish every beauty, was because of you…"
As the prolonged notes faded, their voices fell silent simultaneously.
The guitar accompaniment followed suit, slowly winding down.
The surrounding silence was eerily profound.
Xia Nuannuan suddenly became nervous again, wondering if the performance had fallen flat because she hadn't sung well.
"Good!"
Suddenly, an excited shout of applause broke the silence.
Their gazes turned, and they saw Instructor Qi smiling and clapping.
Instructor Chen, standing beside him, quickly joined in with applause.
Then, the atmosphere instantly erupted into a frenzy of enthusiastic applause and cheers.
"Class monitor, amazing, that was beautiful!"
"So talented, you two should debut!"
"It was good, but please stop showing off, I've had enough of the public displays of affection."
"Exactly, darn it, consider our feelings as single dogs!"
"…"
Classmates from their class chimed in loudly.
Most of the students from the English Department's Class Two also offered their applause.
Of course, Li Xun and his close roommates did not clap.
The few male students around them looked embarrassed, mixed with jealousy and astonishment.
They had all anticipated that since the class monitor dared to ask for the guitar, he must have some skill, but they never expected him to sing so well.
Li Xun's face remained expressionless, his eyes only showing a slight chill.
The amateurs watched the spectacle, while the professionals observed the details.
Those who didn't understand guitars might have only felt that Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan sang well.
But Li Xun knew that Qin Tian's guitar skills were even more astonishing.
Compared to that, his own proud techniques were nothing.
It was like showing off in front of Guan Gong, only to be slapped in the face and have it swell.
The only consolation was that the guy didn't seem to be targeting him specifically.
Even so, a strong sense of jealousy and anger surged within him.
After all, Xia Nuannuan's charm was in no way inferior to Su Yan's; in fact, considering her figure, she might even surpass her.
He liked Su Yan, true, but that didn't stop him from liking other girls!
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan approached Class Two's formation, handing the guitar to the girl who had previously held it, asking her to return it to Li Xun.
"Su Yan, after we break up, shall we go get some late-night snacks together?"
Xia Nuannuan looked at Su Yan and said.
The classmates from Class Two looked on in astonishment.
"I…"
"Please, I didn't eat enough this afternoon and I'm a bit hungry!"
Xia Nuannuan sweetly interrupted her with a smile.
"Alright then!"
Su Yan smiled helplessly and agreed.
"Handsome, do you guys know Su Yan?"
A girl in the front row asked Qin Tian with great curiosity.
"Yes, we were all high school classmates."
Qin Tian nodded with a smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.
"Classmate, thank you for the guitar, it was very useful!"
Qin Tian said thanks to Li Xun with a smile, then took Xia Nuannuan's hand and turned to leave.
Li Xun's eye twitched violently, his heart feeling as if he had swallowed a large piece of greasy meat, making him feel sick and nauseous.
