In Zhong Sheng's eyes, Wang Yue was just a bug that could be crushed at any moment.
But for Qiao Zixuan, he had to maintain his image, otherwise, it would all be in vain.
Recalling the matters his parents had entrusted to him.
Coupled with Wang Yue's appearance.
This gave Zhong Sheng a sense of urgency.
No one could take Qiao Zixuan away from him; this concerned his future.
Everyone had already started enthusiastically picking songs, and some of the bolder ones had already opened their drinks.
Qiao Zixuan was surrounded by her girlfriends, heading to pick songs. Wang Yue, meanwhile, sat in a corner, with no one approaching him.
After Zhong Sheng displayed his wealth, most people didn't want to offend him by associating with a stranger like Wang Yue.
"Everyone, quiet down!"
At this moment, Fei Shaobo grabbed the microphone and let out a yell.
The private room then fell silent.
"Ahem, let me say something. The first song is one that Brother Sheng specifically requested to sing, so shall we let him go first?"
"No problem, the host goes first!"
"Zhong Sheng used to be our class's cultural committee member, and he sang so well."
"Sing, sing, I'm quite looking forward to it."
Seeing everyone agree, Fei Shaobo handed the microphone to Zhong Sheng.
Zhong Sheng took the microphone and smiled gently, "Actually, this song is dedicated to Xuan Xuan. Although you brought your boyfriend today, my feelings for you won't disappear because of it. I won't give up, because you are my 'Exclusive Memory'."
As he finished speaking, the music began.
"Since the day we parted
I like to watch the heavy rain alone
Without contact, loneliness is like a chain reaction
I don't even have the strength to be happy..."
Zhong Sheng had a great voice, his tone was very gentle, and for a while, many people were captivated.
"A thunderstorm world like a disaster movie
Leaves me utterly pathetic now
Sorry, no one has a time machine
What's over is over, no room for negotiation..."
As he sang this part, Zhong Sheng stood up and gazed affectionately at Qiao Zixuan.
"I hope you are my exclusive memory
Kept in my heart
No matter how harsh others speak
What I have now
Is you giving me half of my love..."
Under the soft lights, with the beautiful singing, Zhong Sheng was like a Korean drama male lead, making many girls fall for him.
"Oh my god, if Zhong Sheng confessed to me like this, I would faint from happiness on the spot!"
"I'm so envious of the class beauty, having such a devoted boy."
"Suddenly I feel like Zhong Sheng and the class beauty are a perfect match. That Wang Yue is the third party!"
And as for the female lead, Qiao Zixuan.
She felt a bit flustered. After all, she was still a 17-year-old girl. While she didn't like Zhong Sheng, she didn't dislike him either.
At this moment, she felt a little touched.
The devoted persona always easily gained favor with young girls.
"I like you, you are my exclusive memory
No one is allowed
To take you from me
In my emotional blockade
I won't mention anything about you, it's fine."
Halfway through the song, Zhong Sheng continued to gaze affectionately at Qiao Zixuan. Many girls covered their mouths, feeling like they wanted to scream. Why did it feel like they were shipping them?
"I like you, you are my exclusive memory
No one is allowed
To take you from me
In my emotional blockade
There's no limit to how I won't mention anything about you..."
The song ended.
Everyone started applauding.
"Beautiful! It was really beautiful! It sounded even better than the original singer."
"Oh my god, he's so devoted, I'm crying!"
"Another song, another song!"
"Yes, yes, another song!"
Someone started the chant for another song, and soon, the calls for another song became louder.
Zhong Sheng smiled gently again, "No need for another song. After all, Xuan Xuan's boyfriend is here. I'm afraid it might affect their relationship."
This statement made even more people pity Zhong Sheng.
What a good, devoted boy, but unfortunately, the one he liked was already taken.
Qiao Zixuan glanced at Wang Yue worriedly, only to find him clapping along with the crowd wholeheartedly, even cheering for another song.
"Such unprofessionalism, I'll have to deduct his salary!"
Qiao Zixuan was a bit annoyed, but quickly let it go. As long as Wang Yue wasn't affected, it was fine.
Although Zhong Sheng's little performance earlier had touched her slightly, it didn't change the fact that she had no feelings for him.
Just then.
Li Cheng jumped out, "Brother Zhong has thrown out a brick to attract jade and boldly confessed to the class beauty. As the class beauty's boyfriend, shouldn't you show something?"
Everyone turned their gaze to Wang Yue.
Zhong Sheng's move wasn't just throwing out a brick to attract jade; it was a brilliant gem in front of them.
Wang Yue didn't look like he could sing well. If he accepted the challenge, he would only be humiliating himself.
Many people thought this way.
Zhong Sheng secretly smirked. His money wasn't wasted; having Li Cheng act as his wingman was indeed fitting.
Qiao Zixuan looked at Wang Yue worriedly again.
"Okay."
Wang Yue readily agreed with a smile, "My love rival has come all the way to my doorstep, of course, I have to make a gesture."
He then playfully winked at Qiao Zixuan.
Qiao Zixuan smiled happily, her previous worries vanishing.
That was Wang Yue!
Proficient in English, Physical Education, and Chinese, and if he added music, it wouldn't be strange, right?
For some reason, Qiao Zixuan just had immense faith in Wang Yue.
"Then I'll dedicate a song by Jay Chou to my little princess~"
Wang Yue walked to the song selection machine and quickly chose a song.
"Garden Party"
As the saying goes, nothing is sweeter than a garden party, and nothing is more beautiful than "Seven Miles of Fragrance."
As the intro began, many pricked up their ears, partly because the tune was catchy, and partly because they wanted to hear Wang Yue's singing.
"The amber dusk is like sugar in a beautiful distance
Your face is bare, yet I fell madly in love
Longing stretches out with my shadow in the twilight
The ticket in my hand keeps me company counting sheep..."
The moment Wang Yue opened his mouth, everyone was stunned. His voice was in a completely different league from Zhong Sheng's.
Before anyone could react, the next verse began.
"The mint-colored grass is fragrant like the wind, shapeless
Yet I can remember your demeanor and face
The cold air and the glass are so transparent in the morning
Like my affection, seen through by you..."
Wang Yue's singing was like telling a story, involuntarily conjuring images in people's minds. The rich emotion and superb skill completely enthralled everyone.
"On the stall, a bright sun
I quietly appeared beside you
Your flustered look
I smiled and watched quietly..."
Wang Yue's voice suddenly soared, and he looked at Qiao Zixuan with a smile.
"Under the blazing sun
I just want to hold an umbrella for you
You lean on my shoulder
Taking a deep breath, afraid of forgetting
Because of the silly fish-catching game, we started talking
How I wish the conversation would never end, and the garden party would never close..."
Qiao Zixuan's eyes were no longer on anyone else. She stared at Wang Yue, as if the world consisted only of the two of them, and she was the heroine in the song, sweetly strolling through the garden party with Wang Yue.
Oh no, it's the feeling of my heart pounding.
Qiao Zixuan felt her heart beating uncontrollably again. The boy singing before her was simply the epitome of handsomeness in her heart.
Zhong Sheng's eyes twitched uncontrollably. He really wanted to slap Li Cheng twice. What the hell were you thinking, making him sing! This has truly become a case of a brick attracting a gem.
"The balloons are in my hand
I drag you along, aimlessly wandering
I have something to tell you
But your eyes pretend to be busy
The cake and the jam on your lips, I want to taste them all
The garden party movie is playing
The world has agreed to wander together."
Halfway through the song, everyone opened their eyes, with looks of shock.
"My god! I was completely lost in the singing just now, it was so vivid!"
"Are Jay Chou's lyrics good, or is his singing good? I can't tell."
"Both are perfect! I suddenly feel like these two are the perfect match. Sorry, Zhong Sheng~"
"Ahhh, it's like listening to a concert, so beautiful, I wish I were the heroine of the garden party too."
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
And Wang Yue winked at Qiao Zixuan again~
As if to say.
This show-off I put on for you,
What do you think?
