Chapter 72: 71. Don’t want to affect studying_1
Xie Zexi walked excitedly to the entrance of her bar, suddenly not knowing how to promote it. What should she say? Taking a deep breath, she stood at the door and shouted, “The two singers from yesterday are here in my bar, with their new song ‘South of South Mountain’ released—everyone, come and listen!”
Her cry was like a bolt from the blue, turning heads of numerous customers who were about to enter the bar across the street. Someone asked with curiosity, “Are you for real?”
“Yes, they’re inside right now! The new song is called ‘South of South Mountain’, they told me themselves!” Xie Zexi said anxiously, fearing they wouldn’t believe her. Today was the golden opportunity for her bar to turn defeat into victory. Although she started the bar out of love for folk music, in the end, it was about making money. Without money for food, what good were hobbies?
Upon hearing Xie Zexi’s words, the crowd got excited. Weren’t they all here today precisely because of those two from yesterday? They had initially come just to join the crowd, but unexpectedly, they got a chance to encounter them again!
The manager from Hua Ge Media was amongst the crowd, smiling quietly. Qiu Qingkong might have overestimated these two kids. The reason they didn’t leave contact information yesterday was probably that the duo were too young and left in a hurry.
Now that they appeared again today, he was confident he could sign the young duo, just by promising them a bright future.
In the manager’s view, these two were singing for money, weren’t they?
Xie Zexi watched as more and more people entered her bar, even a significant number coming out of the bar across the street and into hers. It turns out, these two really did have that kind of magic!
Suddenly, she thought she saw a person wrapped up tight with a mask entering the bar—the face seemed familiar, possibly Wang Quan?!
She hadn’t expected Wang Quan to come to listen to those two sing again!
Glancing back, Xie Zexi saw Wang Quan quietly taking a seat in a corner, not disturbing anyone. After all, he wasn’t as famous as Jiang Siyao or Jiang Chen; a simple disguise was enough to get by unnoticed.
However, it seemed like Wang Quan was looking forward to their new song?
On the stage, Ren He sat slightly behind Yang Xi, inadvertently emphasizing Yang Xi’s leading position. He was there to promote Yang Xi, and being nearly 30 in his heart, if he didn’t have that level of awareness, he’d be done for.
But for some reason, some girls found themselves wanting to hear him sing as they watched him sitting quietly on the dark stage, without the spotlights on him just yet.
Ren He didn’t know that the charisma +1 trait he gained wasn’t ineffective. Charisma is hard to explain, but if someone has it, they might even make a lump of excrement appealing.
Moreover, wasn’t that the case with him? In this setting, sitting silently on the dark stage, he inexplicably exuded a unique charm. The dark stage was something Ren He had specifically requested. If yesterday no one paid attention to take photos or videos, today there would definitely be many doing just that. Even wearing a peak cap wouldn’t help.
So might as well turn off the lights; a pleasant voice needs neither light nor dancers.
“Come on, dude, sing a few bars,” a young girl teased from below.
Yang Xi turned around with a playful smile to look at Ren He, knowing that his singing was quite good, very flavorful.
Ren He answered with a non sequitur, smiling, “Sorry, I have a girlfriend.”
“Haha, she tried to tease him, but got teased back instead.”
“Such a clever reply.”
“His voice sounds so nice…”
Although Ren He had sidestepped the topic, it seemed like everyone now had a seed planted in their hearts: they wanted to hear that guy sing!
“Boss, turn on the lights on the stage, we can’t see properly like this!”
“Yeah, we can’t even see the people!”
Xie Zexi hurriedly explained in a troubled tone, “I’m sorry, that’s a special request from them. If the lights come on, they’ll leave immediately.”
“Why?” someone asked, puzzled. Why did they want to remain unseen?
Even Xie Zexi felt embarrassed as she explained, “They said they’re still in junior high and don’t want to affect their studies… They need to study hard and contribute to building the motherland, develop socialism…”
As she repeated Ren He’s words, she felt ridiculously awkward. Who were they kidding? These weren’t junior high students, they were shamelessly slick old-timers!
The audience almost peed themselves laughing at Xie Zexi’s explanation, what kind of connection was that?
When Ren He was talking all seriously but spouting nonsense, Yang Xi almost died laughing. How could someone be so unserious?
Just then, from the dark stage flowed a melodious and captivating guitar sound. As the first note sounded, everyone’s hair stood on end!
“So it turns out the sound of a guitar can really be this pleasant, I thought my buddy was kidding me yesterday…”
“Don’t talk!”
At this moment, Yang Xi spoke:
“You are in the bright sun of the south, where the snow flutters down
I am in the cold night of the north, where all four seasons are like spring.”

Bright sun and fluttering snow?
Cold night and seasons like spring?
Such weird lyrics, but it was exactly this kind of nonsensical lyricism that made everybody sense beauty in them!
“He no longer discusses the solitary island of encounters with anyone.”
“Because his heart has long been deserted.”
“His heart can no longer hold a home.”
“Becoming a mute who only lies to himself.”
Wang Quan, sitting in a secluded corner, couldn’t help but stand up, spellbound by the moving melody and the stunning lyrics! This song, in Yang Xi’s interpretation, was filled with wistful mystery, no longer as cheerful and open-hearted as yesterday. This song seemed to make Wang Quan experience all the love, kinship, and friendship he had gained and lost in the past year and a half, all at once.
It was as if he had walked an entire life path in a moment, leaving only silence behind.
Another great song!
How many more songs of this caliber does the other party have? Wang Quan bet today’s performance would continue raising their already growing momentum and that all three songs would secure a place in the chorus of anthems.
He suddenly became puzzled, did these two really write these songs? Or rather… who among them wrote it? The boy? Or the girl?
Wang Quan was more inclined to believe it was the boy, his exquisite guitar skills were a huge plus, and the style of these three songs seemed to come from a man’s hand.
But they are just middle school students!
Yes, every audience member was recalling what Xie Zexi had said: They are middle school students!
Are middle school students so awesome these days? And what did these amazing middle school students say? Contribute to the motherland’s construction?
What were they doing in middle school? Puppy love, skipping classes, reading novels, playing video games? Wang Quan felt he really needed some time to reflect!
