"Qiao Meina is here."
"So exciting."
"goddess!"
There was a commotion behind him, and Lin Can looked back. In the entire auditorium, some of Qiao Meina's male and female fans were excited, while the rest were very calm. Lin Can wanted to see who had the most fans today.
Lin Can turned his head and leaned back in his seat, looking at the empty stage. There was only a beam of light shining on the piano in the center of the stage, and the sound of "tick-tick..." of high heels could be heard.
Qiao Meina, wearing a sea-blue long dress, walked out gracefully from the right side of the stage, her delicate feet clad in the pair of expensive high heels that Lin Can bought for her.
Qiao Meina is 172cm tall, with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs. She walked calmly, elegantly and noblely, without any stage fright. She walked straight into the spotlight. Her skin was originally very fair, and now it looked even more crystal clear in the beam. Her appearance gave people the feeling of a noble queen.
Qiao Meina smoothed her skirt and sat down.
“So beautiful!”
"Mina, Mina~ You're the coolest!"
Qiao Meina’s fans in the audience cheered excitedly.
The teachers in the audience faced the auditorium and pressed their hands down to signal people not to get excited.
Principal Chen whispered, "Mr. Lin, whenever there's a theatrical performance at school, the audience is always this enthusiastic when Qiao Meina and her three classmates perform on stage."
Lin Can: "It seems that these four are not only beautiful, but also talented."
Principal Chen: "We haven't had such outstanding students in many years. When they take the stage, it's almost like a concert for them."
"Then I'll enjoy it." Lin Can leaned back in his seat, looking at the noble and elegant 'my wife' sitting in front of the piano in the light on the stage with a pleasing expression.
Qiao Meina stretched out a finger and placed it on her lips, making a "Hush!" gesture for silence. Her clear eyes glanced at Lin Can sitting on the judges' panel, intentionally or unintentionally. Everyone in the auditorium fell silent.
Qiao Meina was in the zone, her fair, slender hands resting on the piano keys as she pressed a few notes. The melodious, ethereal sound of the piano echoed throughout the auditorium. Qiao Tiantian leaned forward slightly, leaning in front of the microphone, her red lips slightly parted, her pearly teeth slightly opened. Her emotional voice, accompanied by the ethereal piano music, recited the narration...
"All living humans are like giant fish in the sea. When they are born, they start from this side of the sea. Their lives are like crossing the sea, sometimes meeting and sometimes parting. When they die, they reach the shore and go to their own world..."
After reading this narration and the prelude just ended, Qiao Meina closed her eyes, played the piano with her fingers, immersed in her own musical world, and sang with deep emotion -
The waves silently drown the night
Over the corner at the end of the sky
A big fish swam through the cracks in my dream
Staring at your sleeping silhouette
Qiao Meina's voice was like a wave sweeping in from the stage, dragging the entire auditorium into the depths of the seabed, feeling the endless affection and blue, and every note was like a little fish whispering in the ear.
"Forest……"
"Shh!"
Principal Chen wanted to say something, but Lin Can made the same "hush" gesture as Qiao Meina did, and quietly listened to Qiao Meina singing "Big Fish" on the stage.
"That's not right. Why did Qiao Meina switch to a slow and lyrical style?"
At this time, some classmates behind were whispering.
"Yeah, Qiao Meina used to show off her skills with fast songs, like 'Flight of the Bumblebee,' that inhumane, fastest piano piece. Is today's performance going to rely on 'Big Fish' to compete?"
"Can you beat the other three?"
“I don’t understand why they chose the song ‘Big Fish’.”
"Look at the screen—"
“Oh my god!!!”
On the stage, Qiao Meina continued to sing the song "Big Fish" with deep emotion...
Every tear flows towards you
The seabed flowing back into the sky
The waves silently submerge the night.
On the big screen behind her, there was the blue ocean, freely flying fish, and the magnificent underwater world was presented to everyone.
The scene changes to show the blue sea where the nuclear waste water from Fukushima is discharged, as well as a timeline of the nuclear waste water polluting oceans around the world.
Qiao Meina is a Shanghai girl who loves the ocean. She chose this song to protest against the discharge of nuclear wastewater by her children.
Everyone in the auditorium fell silent. From the first row of judges, a student in the back could faintly hear someone cursing, "What a lousy life! Why don't you just go die!"
Principal Chen frowned and turned back. The student was startled. Principal Chen warned him, "That's a good compliment."
After saying that, Principal Chen turned around.
"???" The student was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses and nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Qiao Meina was the first to perform. At a specific time slot, she sang "Big Fish," calling for a boycott of nuclear waste. Everyone felt particularly heavy-hearted, putting immense pressure on the performers following, especially one student who was singing in Japanese. "I had to change the song at the last minute," she said.
"Is it too late to change the song now?"
"If I don't change the song now, I'll be next. If I go on stage and sing a Japanese song, I'll definitely be scolded to death by the audience! Qiao Meina is the king of the opening!"
The classmate hurried to find the host to change the song.
on stage.
Watch you fly away, watch you leave me
It turns out you were born to belong to the sky
Every tear flows to you
Back to the first encounter
The music played by Qiao Meina changed from soothing to intense.
“Ah~~~~”
Music is the best resonance, and everyone hears the cry of the sea.
The sound gradually became quieter along with the piano music, like the helpless cry of the sea. In the end, the "helpless cry" disappeared in the sea, in the auditorium, and on the stage.
