After Ma Xiaoshuai's big mouth spread the word, almost all of their friends knew about the performance at the school anniversary party.
"Brother Fan, you're awesome. I'll definitely go to the auditorium to watch your performance."
"Hey, handsome boy, don't be so nervous that you pee your pants when the time comes..."
My classmates tease me like this every day, but no one really means it.
Even many people who originally had no intention of watching the party decided to go and show their support.
I will definitely go to dormitories 519 and 326.
Several girls in Su Ruochu's dormitory joked with Su Ruochu that they wanted to see the handsome guy's performance.
It didn't matter that Chen Fan stayed in the apartment all day, but Ma Xiaoshuai became nervous.
I was afraid that I would embarrass people by not performing well on stage.
Chen Fan smiled and consoled her, "You should be thankful. At least there are more than a thousand people in the auditorium. If you consider yourself embarrassed, you are embarrassing yourself in front of more than a thousand people. Fortunately, you are not embarrassing yourself in front of the whole school."
Who would have thought that the school issued a notice the same day Chen Fan said this.
In view of the enthusiasm and support of all teachers and students for the 70th Anniversary Gala of our school, many students said that the school auditorium was too small to accommodate more audiences.
After a meeting of school leaders, it was decided that in order to meet the expectations of all teachers and students to watch the evening party, the venue of the school's 70th anniversary celebration will be changed from the 1,000-seat auditorium to the school's large playground.
The school will build a professional stage and allocate dedicated spaces for each college. Please enter and watch according to the order of your college.
Ma Xiaoshuai was stunned when he saw the notice.
"What do you say now? Is this really going to embarrass everyone in school?"
Chen Fan smiled, "It's okay, since no one knows you."
Ma Xiaoshuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Thank you for your comfort."
Time quickly came to the school anniversary day.
From the beginning of the day, the whole school was filled with an atmosphere of festival celebration.
The school hired someone to build the stage.
In the afternoon, my classmates ran to the playground after dinner to reserve seats in advance.
As it got darker, the entire playground was already crowded with people.
The lights on the stage have been turned on, and the band and the host are doing a live sound check.
At 7:30, the party officially begins.
The first show was performed by a group of long-legged seniors from the dance academy. They wore super short jeans and a small T-shirt with a strappy bottom. Their sexy dance moves attracted everyone's attention. The audience burst into screams and applause from time to time.
The first show livened up the atmosphere of the party.
Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai's programs were placed in the middle.
The two of them were putting on makeup backstage. Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai chose their own clothes: white sneakers, jeans, and white shirts. They both put on simple makeup.
With nothing to do, Chen Fan stood in the backstage and looked over.
He wanted to find Su Ruchu's location.
Unfortunately, it was pitch black with heads everywhere and I couldn't find it at all.
Ma Xiaoshuai was taking a deep breath at the side, and he looked really nervous.
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Are you serious? You can't handle this situation?"
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled bitterly: "I have never sung in front of so many people."
Chen Fan joked: "Do you want me to buy you an adult diaper? Then you don't have to pee in your pants when you go on stage later."
Ma Xiaoshuai was curious: "Aren't you nervous?"
"Why are you so nervous?" Chen Fan said calmly.
The reason he went on stage was to sing for Su Ruchu. No matter whether he sang well or not, he was singing for Ruchu alone.
As for what other people think, Chen Fan doesn't care at all.
He stared at Chen Fan for a few seconds to confirm that this guy was really not nervous.
Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration.
"You're awesome."
At this time Chen Fan received a text message from Su Ruchu.
"There are so many people here. Are you nervous?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I'm fine. But the guy next to me is about to pee his pants."
Su Ruochu sent a smiley face.
"Song Linlin said that after the singing, she would give Ma Xiaoshuai a good reward."
Chen Fan handed the machine to Ma Xiaoshuai. The guy took a look at it, took a deep breath, and seemed to relax a little.
Su Ruchu continued to send messages.
"Now can you tell me what song you sang?"
Chen Fan: "No. Wait until then and listen to it yourself. No matter what I sing, I sing it for you."
"Hmph. Pretty mysterious."
Two minutes later, Su Ruchu sent another message.
"I'm going to focus on watching the show now. You better do your best."
As the performances continued one after another, the atmosphere of the party became more and more lively.
During this period, Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai also received encouraging text messages from everyone in dormitory 519 and 326.
But at this time, the two of them had no time to read the content of the text message.
Because it will be their turn to go on stage soon.
On the stage in front, two hosts, one male and one female, had already started their introduction.
"The next two students who will be on stage are undergraduates from the College of Economics and Management. Their group has a very strange name, 519. Hmm. I'm curious about the meaning behind this name."
The female host at the side smiled and said: "I guess it must have a special meaning, maybe it's a love anniversary."
Male host: "But both of them are boys."
This sentence caused the whole audience to burst into laughter.
Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai in the backstage both looked distraught.
People in Taiwan who were familiar with Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai were already laughing so hard that they were rolling on the ground.
At this time, the male host on the stage continued: "But they will bring us a very different song, a campus folk song."
"I saw the rehearsal a while ago, it was really nice."
"Everyone, please listen carefully next time."
"Okay, everyone. Next, let's welcome the 519 group with warm applause to bring us this beautiful folk song "Innocent Years"."
Following a round of enthusiastic applause, Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai came up from behind holding guitars.
"Wow..."
There was a low murmur at the scene.
It looks like he wants to play the guitar and sing by himself.
Nowadays, boys who can play musical instruments always attract girls.
Bang, bang... As the lights on the stage went out, two big lights remained shining on the two of them.
As the sound of the accompaniment tape began to play, Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai began to gently strum the guitar.
The two looked at each other, Ma Xiaoshuai took a deep breath, and started singing first.
"Before the story begins
The first spring
The sun shines on the poplar trees, and the wind blows them, making them shine silver.
The streets are calm and warm
Zhong walks so slowly
That was when I was still ignorant of the taste of life..."
As soon as the song opened, the melodious melody and narrative lyrics attracted everyone's attention.
The originally noisy scene gradually became quiet.
Then it was Chen Fan's turn. He moved closer to the microphone while playing.
"My emotions are still not clear.
Your shirt is like snow
Waiting for the poplar leaves to fall without blinking
There are some words in it
Let’s not talk about it first.
Waiting for the arrival of the one who will dress up the scene..."
If Ma Xiaoshuai spoke, he was calm and youthful.
Chen Fan's voice is steady, attractive and brings back memories.
As soon as Chen Fan opened his mouth, his unique, slightly hoarse voice drew the audience directly into the lyrics.
It seemed as if everyone instantly entered into their own youthful campus romance story.
As Chen Fan started singing, the whole place instantly became quiet.
Everyone forgot to applaud or shout, and just stared quietly at the two young men in white shirts on the stage.
The only sounds left on the scene were the two of them playing and singing.
"People drift with the wind
Each day is different
The innocent face forgotten in the dust
How hard this life is
This body crosses the ocean
Lightly describe the long time, sing softly, and speak vaguely
Countless fleeting years
A face that looks like
Tell me your story
늀 made me laugh till tears flowed…
Is life too hard?
Still vivid and colorful
We are all covered with wounds.
My intestines are slowly getting damaged.
Did you get what you wanted?
What I got in return was a heart of iron
Is there anyone else?
Let you fantasize again...
The two people on the stage sang softly under the lights...
The audience on the stage were each immersed in their own thoughts.
Among them naturally was Su Ruchu.
She stared at the stage with burning eyes, and her eyes were focused on Chen Fan alone.
The lyrics echoed in my mind.
Su Ruochu felt as if all the hairs on his body were standing up.
Because at this moment, her thoughts seemed to go back many years, back to high school.
She knew that Chen Fan sang this song for her.
Especially with these beautiful lines.
It directly reminded Su Ruchu of every thought they had in high school.
It started when they were desk mates, and then Chen Fan expressed his affection for her for the first time. She rejected him, but Chen Fan persisted. It was their first date, the first time they passed notes, the first time they held hands, the first time they kissed...
