"It's like that,

Light rain in a grey sky.

Stop and go,

Wetting the ground silently..."

As An Qingyu sang, the dim LED screen behind her suddenly brightened up, and countless flying leaves became the background, embellishing the singing.

The melodious accompaniment, along with the chords on An Qingyu's fingertips, turned into a lively and gentle ballad, flowing in every corner of the venue. The gorgeous lights illuminated the night into the colors of glass. Amid waves of cheers, the venue became hot again!

In just one night, An Qingyu went from being a novice who had hardly touched a musical instrument to having guitar skills that were no less than Li Yifei's. Compared to Li Yifei's deep and loud voice, his voice was softer and more delicate. For this song, he was even more suitable than Li Yifei.

Jiang Er stood blankly behind the crowd. The figure who was the center of attention under the spotlight overlapped with the shy and gentle An Qingyu in her mind. Suddenly, she felt a sense of unreality.

"Qingyu's personality is rather shy and low-key. He would never have done such a high-profile act under the watchful eyes of everyone before." Lin Qiye walked to her side with a smile and spoke slowly.

“This time, he was very determined to be able to stand on the stage… He sang this song only for you.

Jiang Er, it was you who changed him."

Lin Qiye was speaking the truth. He could not imagine what kind of courage it took for the lonely boy who used to hide in the sewers and dissect corpses alone to step into the spotlight... For An Qingyu, this might not be easier than killing a main god alone.

The fact that he could take this step was beyond everyone's expectations...but at the same time, he was also taking this opportunity on campus to express his feelings and determination to Jiang Er.

Jiang Er pursed her lips slightly as she looked at An Qingyu on the stage, her eyes filled with unprecedented joy and emotion.

"I know." Jiang Er said softly, "Even if he doesn't do this, I know what he means..."

Jiang Er paused, a bright smile appeared on his face, "But seeing him standing there... I am really happy."

Lin Qiye's gaze shifted from Jiang Er to An Qingyu. After a long moment, he sighed helplessly:

"An Qingyu is such a monster. He can reach this level after just one night of study... It really embarrasses me..."

…

"Forgive me for not being able to extricate myself,

Maybe I glanced at you accidentally,

Even a 100-meter sprint would stop..."

Backstage, Lu Menglei stood in front of the control console, holding the headphones to her ears with one hand and adjusting the equipment in front of her with the other hand, looking extremely serious.

"You can also control the stage?" Cao Yuan asked in surprise, standing beside her.

"I think I can learn something simple... just play some music, adjust the sound, etc." Lu Menglei smiled, "During the rehearsal, the accompaniment, background animation, and lighting programming of this song have all been arranged. I just need to be responsible for playing it."

"I see."

"By the way...why don't you untie them? They look very terrified." Lu Menglei pointed to the corner where several staff members were tied together with ropes.

Several staff members were tied to the corner of the table, with their mouths sealed with transparent tape. They could only watch Cao Yuan and Lu Menglei operating in the control room, making humming sounds from time to time.

Seeing that An Qingyu's performance was almost over, Cao Yuan temporarily untied the transparent tape on their mouths. With the music outside so loud, no one would notice them even if they shouted.

"Who are you? How dare you barge in..."

"Shut up!" Cao Yuan glared at them fiercely.

“…”

Under Cao Yuan's fierce intimidation, several people immediately shut their mouths obediently, fearing that this man with a terrorist's face would directly pull out a gun and blow their heads off.

"Remember, you didn't see anything today. You operated these devices by yourselves. Do you understand?" Cao Yuan sneered sinisterly, "If anyone dares to tell anyone, I will tear his mouth apart!"

These good students who had excellent grades since childhood had never seen such a scene before. They were frightened and nodded frantically at the slightest threat from Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan stood up and walked to Lu Menglei. Looking at her carefully controlling the stage, he sighed:

"Sorry to drag you into this."

"It's okay. This is the first time I've seen this kind of plot in a TV series. It would be a shame not to participate in it once." Lu Menglei chuckled. "Besides, I'm about to graduate. Even if I'm discovered, it won't be a problem."

Cao Yuan nodded and looked at An Qingyu on the stage through the transparent cover of the tent.

…

As the last chord fell, the music on the stage gradually faded away, and the cheers from the audience and the waving of glow sticks ushered in the end of the evening.

The students in the venue gradually left and the spotlights went out. In the dim light, An Qingyu put down the guitar in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

His back was already mostly soaked with sweat.

Now, if he had to face the pressure from the Lord God, he could remain calm, but faced with this situation, he really couldn't cope with it.

However, this performance did resolve the knot in his heart about Jiang Er, and he felt a lot lighter. He pushed his wheelchair to an open space near the venue, and the ghost-like Jiang Er had already floated over, opened his arms and threw himself into his arms.

Jiang Er floated in front of An Qingyu, his eyes full of joy and excitement. An Qingyu smiled and said, "How is it? Do you like it?"

"Yeah." Jiang Er nodded heavily, "You sing much better than Li Yifei."

The smile on An Qingyu's lips became more and more intense.

"You sang well." Lin Qiye and Chen Han also walked up to him and said to him with a smile.

An Qingyu smiled helplessly and was about to say something when his whole body suddenly shook!

A tearing pain came from his mind, and An Qingyu's face turned pale instantly. He covered his head in pain and curled up in the wheelchair!

Boom!

A muffled sound echoed in the night sky. Lin Qiye's face changed drastically as he seemed to have noticed something!

“How is this possible?!” Lin Qiye suddenly turned his head to look in a certain direction and spoke in disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Chen Han asked puzzledly.

"It's only been two days...how come they're here so quickly?!"
