On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter
Chapter Summary
He's the one who caused a stir on the campus forum before, the one who played the basketball match between the senior and the newcomer. Looking at Shen Xinghe's quiet profile, and then at Chen Mo and Su Yuqing, who were shining brightly in the audience and expressing their feelings through song, Zhao Ya felt a vague sense of melancholy. I'm not forcing you, but the students are so enthusiastic, it's really hard to dampen their spirits," Liu Ye said with a smile, looking at Chen Mo and Su Yuqing.
Even a simple white T-shirt and casual trousers look sophisticated on Chen Mo, giving her a model-like aura.
"Holy crap!
Who's this guy?
His aura...
is amazing!
""Who else could it be but that beautiful girl's 'lover'!
Su Yuqing's boyfriend!
He's the one who caused a stir on the campus forum before, the one who played the basketball match between the senior and the newcomer.
""So it was him!
The guy on the forum who was saying he beat the senior in 2v2 basketball?
""He's so handsome!
Not the effeminate kind of handsome, but the kind that...
gives you a sense of security!
""Yes, that's him!
He's handsome, and his girlfriend is so beautiful, what a perfect guy!
""These two standing together are like an idol drama come to life, they're such a perfect match!
""Oh no, I was only in love for a second and I'm already heartbroken...
I object to this marriage!
""Come on, they're a perfect match, what right do you, a monster, have to object?
"A murmur rippled through the crowd, all filled with undisguised admiration and excitement.
Even Instructor Lei, who was sitting to the side, raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly as he watched Chen Mo calmly walk towards the speakers.
His eyes showed less of their usual sternness and more of a subtle appreciation.
This kid definitely has the makings to be the center of attention.
Instructor Lei could tell from his two days of military training that this kid was extraordinary.
The crowd had been whispering and discussing, but as the simple guitar intro began, everyone instantly fell silent.
Soon, everyone recognized the song as Lao Lang's "I Want to Sing This Song to You".
As the intro drew near to the start of the song, Chen Mo slowly picked up the microphone.
At the same time, his gaze passed over the leaping flames and landed precisely on the girl whose cheeks were still flushed and whose eyes were sparkling as she looked at him.
I want to sing this song for you~While you're still young and beautiful~Let the flowers bloom freely!
Adorn your years, my branches~…He opened his mouth, his voice clear and gentle, carrying a warmth that contrasted with his cold appearance, like a spring stream flowing gently into everyone's ears.
But everyone could hear that every word of this song was a response sung to Su Yuqing alone.
The perfect response to the song "I Want You" is this: you want me by your side, and I can't wait to sing the best version of myself to you.
The entire playground was instantly immersed in the sweet interaction between the two.
The previous cheers and noise had long since subsided, replaced by a quiet focus infected by the beautiful atmosphere.
The campfire crackled, the songs were gentle, and even the autumn night breeze seemed to become exceptionally tender.
Who can replace you?
Love to the fullest while you're young!
My dearest one~The journey is long, let's be together~...
"Chen Mo's singing doesn't rely on excessive technique, but it's full of sincerity; every word seems to tell a story about a promise between the present and the future.
The lyrics, "Let's be together despite the long journey," are the simplest vow, echoing across the playground on an autumn night.
Su Yuqing raised her head, her face still flushed, but her eyes shone brighter than the stars in the sky, reflecting the firelight and his focused singing.
Listening to his promise made through song, she felt all the noise around her fade away, leaving only his figure and his voice.
Her heart was filled with an incomparably calm and peaceful happiness, warm, sweet, and heavy.
The people in both dorm rooms listened with beaming smiles.
They could keep shipping this couple forever.
Shen Xinghe sat quietly in the corner, the firelight casting flickering shadows on his delicate profile, obscuring his expression.
Looking at Shen Xinghe's quiet profile, and then at Chen Mo and Su Yuqing, who were shining brightly in the audience and expressing their feelings through song, Zhao Ya felt a vague sense of melancholy.
While she was happy for the sweetness of others, she also felt a touch of her own sadness.
She couldn't help but dream of such a scene happening to her.
Even just once would be fine!
After Chen Mo finished singing, the audience was quiet for a while before thunderous applause and cheers suddenly erupted again.
He bowed slightly and was about to walk back to sit down next to Su Yuqing when Zhou Yue suddenly jumped out and teased, "Teacher, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing both sing so well.
Singing separately is one thing, but singing a song together is another.
Can we arrange for them to sing another song together?
Let us enjoy it again.
"Liu Ye smiled and looked at the other students around him, saying, "What do you all think?
""Okay, let's have a duet!
I support it, the previous two songs were so good!
I want to hear what a duet would be like.
""The key is that they are both very good-looking.
They both look like celebrities.
It's like having two big stars performing for us.
They should sing another song so we can get a better deal!
""We have no objections, let's have one more!
"……A bunch of people chimed in, agreeing that Chen Mo and Su Yuqing should sing another song.
Firstly, many people don't want to go on stage themselves; they just want to watch others perform.
The longer they delay, the less likely they are to be called out to perform later.
Secondly, both of them are indeed very kind-looking people, which makes them pleasant to watch and gives them audience appeal.
While their singing may not be comparable to professional singers, they are at least considered to have good voices and pleasant singing voices.
Naturally, everyone hopes to see them sing another song together.
"Chen Mo, Su Yuqing, what do you think?
I'm not forcing you, but the students are so enthusiastic, it's really hard to dampen their spirits," Liu Ye said with a smile, looking at Chen Mo and Su Yuqing.
Actually, he also had his own selfish reasons, feeling it was a pity that he didn't get to see the two of them perform on the same stage.
A performance by this perfect couple would definitely be a spectacular show tonight.
Hearing the cheers from those around him, Chen Mo naturally reached out and intertwined his fingers with Su Yuqing's, saying, "You say it, I'll listen to you.
""Then...
let's sing another song.
" Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Su Yuqing was too embarrassed to dampen their spirits.
She looked up at Chen Mo, her eyes filled with a question and a shy, eager light.
Chen Mo tightened his grip on her hand, nodded and smiled at Teacher Zhang Ye and the expectant crowd around him, saying, "Then I shall gladly accept your offer.
""What would you like to sing?
" Liu Ye asked the two with a smile.
When it came to what to sing, that stumped me for a moment.
There are quite a few songs that can be sung as a duet.
Suddenly, Chen Mo remembered a song, a song that had touched his heart before, the ending theme of an old TV series.
The song's melody was unique and beautiful, carrying a classical charm and a fateful, lingering beauty.
But for some reason, apart from that drama, he rarely heard it anywhere else, like a pearl buried by time.
