Chapter 133 Shen Jiayi, come on!
My heart was instantly filled with courage.
Shen Jiayi looked at the encouraging eyes of Team Leader Han and Guo Rou, nodded heavily, and said, "I'll go sing!"
"Have you chosen the music? I'll go and tell you about it first," said Guo Rou.
Shen Jiayi nodded seriously, "I want to sing Praise of Red Plum Blossoms."
"Praise of the Red Plum Blossom" was written by Yan Su and serves as the theme song for the opera "The Legend of the Phoenix." Shen Jiayi has always loved this song, and even more so the protagonist, Jiang Zhuyun.
In those difficult times, Jiang Zhuyun was able to fight hard and pursue light. How could she not even dare to step onto a stage in today's peaceful times?!
Thinking of her good friend Gu Yan, who was still lying in the hospital, Shen Jiayi knew that she could no longer retreat!
Seeing Shen Jiayi go backstage to prepare with high morale, Guo Rou stood there, quietly watching Shen Jiayi's back.
Han Jiao knew the reason why Guo Rou was depressed. After all, this girl and Lin Xiaoyu had always been inseparable and grew up together.
Han Jiao patted Guo Rou's shoulder and said, "Someone once said that the most beautiful thing in the world is to have a few upright friends with both a righteous mind and heart. So, open your eyes and use your heart to judge who is the most suitable friend for you."
Guo Rou was silent for a while, then she seemed to understand something and nodded heavily.
Shen Jiayi was the last one to go backstage to prepare.
Although she showed up, people from other departments didn't take her seriously.
Shen Nana was backstage with her partner who was about to go on stage. When she saw Shen Jiayi appear, she was surprised and said, “Shen Jiayi, you actually have the courage to go on stage. You really make me look at you differently.”
Shen Jiayi clenched her fists slightly, lowered her eyes, and said nothing.
But the female warrior next to Shen Nana looked at Shen Jiayi who lowered her head curiously, and asked Shen Nana, “Do you know her?”
"Well, she is a poor relative of mine. She has been living on a backward planet since she was a child. She doesn't know anything. She is very timid and doesn't even dare to speak loudly in front of others." Shen Nana's tone was full of disdain and ridicule.
Shen Jiayi held the lyrics sheet in her hand. She bit her lip and the lyrics sheet was crumpled by her.
Shen Nana’s partner over there was surprised, “Oh my God, you are so timid, and you dare to come to the singing competition? You know, there will be thousands of people in the audience later.”
“Who knows, maybe there’s no one in the logistics team.” Shen Nana sneered.
After saying these two sentences, it was the turn of the female warrior from the arts group to go on stage, and Shen Nana followed.
Shen Jiayi felt her whole body trembling, beads of sweat slowly flowed down her forehead, and her legs were almost so weak that she had no strength left.
There were more than a thousand people in the audience...
So many pairs of eyes will be looking at her later!
Just at this moment, someone called out, "Shen Jiayi from the logistics team, it's your turn, get ready to go on stage!"
Shen Jiayi felt her breathing quicken, and her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move.
Can she do it?
Can she?
"Logistics Team Shen Jiayi, hurry up, it's your turn!"
The person in charge shouted again, with a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his tone, "Isn't Shen Jiayi here?"
Shen Jiayi's nails almost scratched her palms, and the brief pain helped her concentrate a little.
Her voice was a little shaky. "I, I'm coming."
"Then hurry up and get on stage! Everyone's waiting for you!"
Shen Jiayi nodded silently. She didn't know how she walked onto the stage. Her legs didn't belong to her anymore.
There was a buzzing sound in my ears, and all the sounds merged into a roar at this moment.
In the stands, pairs of eyes, like dazzling rays of light, were fixed on Shen Jiayi, instantly shattering the courage she had accumulated with great difficulty.
Shen Jiayi opened her mouth slightly, but the lyrics of the melody that she was familiar with were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't make a single sound!
At this time, the prelude of the song has already sounded!
Han Jiao, Guo Rou and others who were sitting not far away from the stage became extremely anxious when they saw this scene.
"Shen Jiayi, come on!" A clear female voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
This chapter moved me deeply. I've loved reading since I was a child, and my biggest dream has been to become a writer, to have my works loved by many readers. This is my second book posted here, and it's been nearly six months since last August. During that time, I've considered giving up and experienced self-doubt. Can I do it? Can I? But there was one person who kept telling me, "You can do it, you will definitely succeed!"
Thank you.
By the way, I just saw Michelle Obama's new movie, "Secret Superstar." It was deeply moving. I hope you, like me, have someone by your side who will support you in achieving your dreams and who unconditionally believes in you.
