Night fell.
This is one of the busiest days of the year for Cloud Academy.
The entire school's teachers and students gathered in the square, where there were tens of thousands of tables, and airships were constantly landing to serve the food.
Through Honglian's application, Jiangcheng and Sumei were successfully admitted to the Fifth Junior High School and were assigned to the second group.
At this moment, apart from Dai Lele who was offline and Wang Xuefeng who went behind the scenes, all the students of the Fifth Branch had gathered at the dining table.
In the very center of the square is a tall, round platform, decorated in a very festive manner.
"This festive atmosphere is like Chinese New Year..." Horry complained as he sat down.
Xiao He looked back and saw the Flying Dragon No. 1 floating in the sky with its hatch wide open. Yang Xing and Jia Bo were happy to watch from inside.
"Those two really know how to enjoy themselves." Xiao He sat down helplessly, feeling uncomfortable with the noise around him.
Until the central circular platform lit up, all the surrounding lights went out at the same time.
The vast square went from noisy to quiet in the blink of an eye.
A solitary figure slowly walked onto the stage.
Xiao He looked up, following the gazes of the others.
Wang Xuefeng, wearing a school uniform, wasn't carrying a gun; he was just holding his guitar.
"A singing and playing an instrument?" Xiao He was taken aback. "This is our team's opening act?"
“Yes.” Horry took a sip of his drink with a contented look. “Among us, only Brother Feng can do this.”
As soon as the prelude began, everyone fell silent.
"If I could see..."
"It makes it easy to distinguish between day and night..."
"So that I can accurately hold your hand in the crowd..."
Today, Wang Xuefeng seemed less playful than usual, perhaps because the audience had far exceeded 100,000, forcing him to take it seriously.
Many people frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Because the lyrics suit him very well.
Xiao He, Huo Lei, and even Yang Xing, who were further away, were deeply moved by what they heard in the audience.
Not counting online, it's been two years.
He pursued Dai Lele in G City for two whole years, but he couldn't win her over or drive her away.
Despite being surrounded by numerous god-like halos, he shamelessly begged Xiao He to accept him, refusing wages or even meals, and spending his days hanging out with these "second-rate" sparring partners.
Huo Lei and Yang Xing regarded him as a role model for the studio because he broke the first rule set by Xiao He: studio members are forbidden from dating.
However, Dai Lele seemed to be very compliant, showing no intention of giving any feedback to her suitors.
Wang Xuefeng, however, cared deeply about her feelings and was afraid of bothering her, so he never did anything abrupt.
It's more like a silent protection and companionship.
Anyone with eyes can see all of this.
However, none of them were Dai Lele, so there was no use in worrying. As a result, two years passed in the blink of an eye.
Horry's eyes welled up with tears as he recalled his failed first love.
"I look at your face, but all I see is emptiness."
"Did God draw a curtain before my eyes and forget to lift it...?"
With a change in fingering, the light plucking suddenly transforms into strumming.
Despite his efforts to suppress his emotions, Wang Xuefeng finally let them burst forth with the melody.
"You are my eyes—"
"Take me through the changing seasons..."
Xiao He watched him silently, his fingers unconsciously tightening around the cup.
However, the people around him couldn't help but look at Xiao He.
After all, everyone here knows that Xiao He and Wang Xuefeng are lovers.
In their understanding, it was as if Wang Xuefeng was taking this opportunity to express his feelings to his girlfriend.
Therefore, many people looked at Xiao He with envy.
Only Xiao He himself sighed softly and took a helpless sip of wine.
Because of his imperfect childhood and family life, Dai Lele has always insisted on being a non-marriage advocate since he was a child, and he hasn't changed his mind to this day. What can he do about it?
Xiao He himself suffered from a rare blood disease inherited from his family, which would be passed on to his offspring if he got married and had children. Therefore, he was instilled with the idea of "not getting married" by Dai Lele from a young age.
As time went on, I lost interest in campus romance.
Fortunately, he didn't stay in junior high school for many years. He had to be hospitalized frequently, sometimes for an entire semester at a time, and his classmates couldn't remember him.
If it weren't for the treatment over the past two years that has slightly improved his condition, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep the studio open.
Wang Xuefeng only knew about Xiao He's illness, but he didn't know about the siblings' childhood. But even though he had many questions, he still respected Dai Lele's wishes.
Xiao He had privately asked, advised, and guided Dai Lele, but she remained silent.
Amidst his scattered thoughts, he sensed a slight tremor in the outside world.
People listened with such rapt attention that they forgot all about it, even after the singing and music had stopped.
Wang Xuefeng stood silently on the high platform, breathing slightly heavily, like a lion that had just roared.
"I……"
Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath.
They straightened their backs instantly, all ready to listen to his heartfelt confession.
However, Wang Xuefeng only opened his mouth but didn't say anything more.
"……Thanks."
"..."
"I……"
"I'll wait for you to come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of eyes were immediately drawn to the table in the Fifth Branch.
really.
Xiao He was not present.
-
"Open the door! Open the door! I'm exhausted!"
"Damn it, you're the one who forgot your keys, okay?!"
Dai Lele dragged her tired body in, kicking her shoes as she entered the room and looking for a drink of water.
Xiao He locked the door speechlessly; the phone vibration he'd just heard was from her relentless barrage of calls.
