The announcer announced the next program: "The next program is Zhao Xiaoqiao from Class 2 of Grade 8 singing the song 'Childhood'."

Zhao Xiaoqiao wore a pair of baggy lantern pants and canvas shoes, and went on stage with a tank top and a guitar in her arms.

Liang Liang originally planned to design a trendy rock-style outfit for him, but considering that he was a student, the school would not agree to anything too outrageous, so she had to give up.

I just threw together this simple outfit.

After Zhao Xiaoqiao took the stage, members of the Snowland Red Band also appeared on stage one after another.

Because the rhythm and melody of this song from childhood are relatively ordinary, Chen Fangyuan made it onto the Spring Festival Gala back then with just a guitar.

So, not the whole band came; only the drum set and keyboard were there.

With Liang Liang included, there were three people. Liang Liang didn't even bring a bass guitar.

Since they came to the school to support Zhao Xiaoqiao, the band's attire was very simple.

All those bikinis and miniskirts can step aside; the female members of the two bands that came both looked like respectable women.

Liang Liang, wearing jeans and a black short-sleeved T-shirt, stood to the left of Zhao Xiaoqiao, with Zhang Hua's electronic keyboard and Lan Zhi's drum set behind him.

Most of the students at the school were unaware that Zhao Xiaoqiao had brought a band with her. When the band appeared on either side of Zhao Xiaoqiao, the entire audience erupted in an uproar.

The appearance of such an avant-garde band had a certain impact on the young minds of these middle school students even before they started singing.

Secondary schools are not universities, and this kind of situation is actually not allowed on secondary school campuses.

This is because Liang Hongyu has a lot of influence; if it were anyone else, the Snowland Red Band wouldn't have been allowed into the campus.

Zhang Ling was stunned when she saw the band appear. This guy really brought a band with him! Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

And for some reason, Zhao Xiaoqiao's seemingly casual outfit today gave Zhang Ling a refreshing feeling.

She knew Zhao Xiaoqiao was learning guitar, but she didn't expect Zhao Xiaoqiao to look so stylish holding the guitar; she looked pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at her.

Zhang Ling's eyes lingered on Zhao Xiaoqiao for a long time without her noticing.

Zhao Xiaoqiao glanced at Zhang Ling, who had finished her performance and returned to the audience, took a deep breath, and nodded back to the band.

Liang Liang played the intro on an electric guitar, followed by Zhao Xiaoqiao joining in on an acoustic guitar to the rhythm Liang Liang played, and then the keyboard entered.

As the intro drew to a close and the drum set set a beat, Zhao Xiaoqiao began to sing.

"On the banyan tree by the pond, cicadas are chirping, announcing summer; on the swings by the playground, only butterflies rest..."

Zhao Xiaoqiao felt that her collaboration with the band was perfect this time, and the songs she sang seemed to come from the sky rather than from her own throat.

It actually sounded like heavenly music.

Songs with a band and songs without a band come from completely different spaces.

His classmates and even the entire school were stunned.

"Looking forward to the end of get out of class, looking forward to the end of school..."

Just as Zhao Xiaoqiao confidently sang this part, disaster struck! School was really over.

The power is out!

When the power went out, the microphone stopped working, the accompaniment became unplugged, and the sound of the instruments dropped sharply.

Zhao Xiaoqiao was stunned. Her singing stopped abruptly, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Sitting in the audience, Liang Hongyu had no idea what had happened or why the sound had gone out.

Liang Liang didn't panic. At worst, the electric guitar sounded like an acoustic guitar, but the volume would be much lower.

Seeing that Liang Liang's electric guitar hadn't stopped, Zhao Xiaoqiao also started playing her acoustic guitar. Although she didn't have a microphone, she still managed to finish the song.

The song was over, but Zhao Xiaoqiao felt a little sad, because it wasn't perfect.

What started out as a great feeling ended up being a disappointment.

This time, that bastard Gu Liang will be the one to stir things up.

As expected, Gu Liang led the cheering with a smug look on his face.

"What kind of rubbish is that? Get off the stage!"

His circle of people joined in, all praising him.

"Get off the stage! What kind of rubbish are you singing?!"

"How dare you go on stage singing such a mess!"

The scene became somewhat chaotic at one point.

There was nothing Liang Liang could do to change the situation. After all, he was a member of society, and there was no room for him to maneuver here.

Zhao Xiaoqiao silently turned her head and prepared to leave the stage.

Just then, a clear voice suddenly rang out.

"Zhao Xiaoqiao! Well sung! One more time!"

It was clearly a girl's voice, and the volume was so loud it was almost like a microphone.

Liang Liang, who is sensitive to sound, immediately found the source of the sound.

It's Zhang Ling!

This little girl has a loud voice.

When she sings, I just notice her unique voice, not her vocal range or pitch...

She's got the makings of a pop star!

The voice came from Zhang Ling, and it immediately received a response from most of her classmates.

"Yes! One more!"

"Don't listen to those guys babbling away. They sang well, sing another one!"

When Zhao Xiaoqiao saw that Zhang Ling was the first person to stand up and support her, she felt tears welling up in her eyes.

He never imagined that Zhang Ling would be the first to stand up and support him.

Gu Liang never dreamed that this would happen, and what frustrated him even more was that the person who led the support for Zhao Xiaoqiao was Zhang Ling.

Mr. Hao, who controls the sound equipment, immediately found the cause of the power outage: the switch leading to the auditorium stage had been pulled.

The moment the power was restored, Liang Liang went to the microphone.

"Dear leaders and students, there was a slight malfunction with the circuit just now, but it has been restored. Zhao Xiaoqiao's first song didn't go well because of this incident, so he's decided to sing another one to make up for it. Would you all like to welcome him?"

"Welcome back, Zhao Xiaoqiao, for another song!"

"One more song!"

"Next, Zhao Xiaoqiao will sing 'My Deskmate,' please give her a round of applause!"

Amidst thunderous applause, the music resumed.

Perhaps because she was holding back a lot of resentment, Zhao Xiaoqiao sang "My Deskmate" a bit too intensely.

Do you hate your deskmate or miss them?

Liang Liang could only increase the emphasis on the electric guitar; as he increased the volume, the drums followed suit and became heavier.

A perfectly good ballad has suddenly taken on a metal vibe.

This time, there was no power outage, and Zhao Xiaoqiao sang the song completely.

Although the musical style became a hodgepodge, it was unexpectedly welcomed by the students, who applauded wave after wave and unanimously asked to sing it again.

Zhang Ling's eyes were glued to Zhao Xiaoqiao, her face flushed as she cheered.

The program is arranged in a specific order. Zhao Xiaoqiao has only reserved one song. If she sings another song, the order of the party will be disrupted, and it will be difficult to arrange the following programs.

Besides, Zhao Xiaoqiao doesn't have any other programs.

Zhao Xiaoqiao and her band left the stage.

Gu Liang's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected that cutting off the power to the stage would not only allow Zhao Xiaoqiao to sing an extra song, but also win the favor of the entire school. Most importantly, Zhang Ling seemed to have suddenly sided with Zhao Xiaoqiao.

Gu Liang recalled a Chinese idiom: "Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead."
