nA blackout occurred!

nA fu*king blackout started!

nAt this moment, everyone went infuriated.

n“It is the Mid-Autumn Festival gala!”

n“It is the moment that the campus belle Jiang Miaoyu will open her mouth and sing a song!”

n“But a power cut happened!”

nThe audience remained deathly quiet for a few seconds before bursting into thunderous roars of complaints, venting their infinite rage.

n“Fu*k! How come the power failure occurred at this moment? Do they have no compassion at all?”

n“My Goddess is just about to sing. The power cut really picked its timing well! Coming at this joint!”

n“What is the power supply bureau doing? Giving us a blackout on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, the Mid-autumn Festival! Don’t they fear of incurring public wrath?”

n“Return my electricity! I need electricity! I want to hear Jiang Miaoyu sing!”

nFurious protests grew louder and louder.

nAt the violent howls of rage, the dean, who had been sitting in the audience, was also taken aback. Scowling, he hastened to inquire the staff off the stage, “What’s wrong? Why there is a sudden blackout?”

nThe staff answered in a hurry, “At present, we don’t know the details. But the surrounding communities are also having a blackout. Perhaps a trip or cutting-out just occurred on our campus. I’ll investigate the specifics right off!”

nAfter saying so, he took off in haste.

nAfter the staff went away, the dean stood up. He felt the need to step forward at this moment and appease the raging audience. Otherwise, if some accident really happened, as the dean, he could hardly absolve himself from the blame.

nPrecisely at this moment, Jiang Miaoyu spoke on the stage.

n“Please quiet down!”

nAlthough it was she who was speaking, in comparison with the indignant snarls coming from all the audience, her voice was like a pebble being tossed into the sea, too insignificant to make any wave.

n“Please quiet down!”

n“Please quiet down!”

nJiang Miaoyu let out three anxious shouts in a row on the stage, but no one responded.

nNow she became quite worried.

nAt this point, a voice as loud as a clap of thunder suddenly sounded over the sports ground.

n“Jiang Miaoyu is asking everyone to quiet down!”

nThe voice instantly drowned out all the noises.

nIt was precisely Fang Qiu who said those words. Others did not hear Jiang Miaoyu’s words, but he heard them clearly.

nTherefore, he said so.

nHowever, he did not allow others to detect he was the speaker, because he changed his voice and let it burst out directly in the air.

nNot a single person knew it was he who said those words.

nWhen they heard that it was the campus belle who wanted them to be quiet, the whole audience, who had been overwhelmed by fury, immediately became silent and cast their eyes upon Jiang Miaoyu, whose figure looked mistily beautiful in the pool of the bright moonlight of the Mid-autumn Festival.

nThe dean also let out a sigh of relief and sat down, emotions rising in his heart.

n“Seems that I’m living in a world where good-looks prevail!”

n“Thanks, everyone!”

nJiang Miaoyu did a little bow and tried to speak as loudly as possible, “The song I’m supposed to sing is ‘Hélène’, Cai Chunjia’s version. I wonder if any of those students who did their performance with musical instruments is familiar with this song. If so, can you accompany me to sing this song?”

nHowever, nobody replied.

nApparently none of them had listened to it ever.

nLi Qingshi could play the guitar, and he was really eager to accompany his Goddess on the stage. But he knew nothing about the song.

n“Well then, let me sing it without musical instruments.”

nJust when Jiang Miaoyu finished those words, an abrupt shout suddenly broke out from the audience.

n“Fang Qiu!”

nAt this, Fang Qiu went stupefied for a second.

nBut the eyes of everyone on the scene lighted up.

n“Exactly!”

n“Fang Qiu!”

n“The show he just did is truly amazing. If he can play this song and accompanies our campus belle Jiang to perform it, they will be a perfect pair, a combination of two strong ones!”

n“Fang Qiu! Fang Qiu!”

nThe crowd suddenly broke into a chorus.

nMany turned to look at the area where Class Three of the Chinese Medicine were sitting.

nThe whole school was staring at Class Three, while the whole Class Three was staring at Fang Qiu.

nFang Qiu looked around in a daze.

nHe could not figure out why everybody’s train of thoughts was so odd—naming him as the candidate!

nOn the stage, Jiang Miaoyu was looking expectantly at the position where Fang Qiu was in her memory. She asked, “Fang Qiu, can you play the song ‘Hélène’?”

nOff the stage, Li Qingshi looked a bit nervously towards Class Three.

nHow he wished Fang Qiu did not know the song.

n“If he knows, then, the impression he left Jiang Miaoyu will get considerably better.”

nBut Fang Qiu nodded and said, “Yes, I can.”

nAlthough his voice was not loud, all the people on the sports ground heard it clearly.

n“Then, could you accompany me for the song?”

nAsked Jiang Miaoyu elatedly and hopefully.

nSun Hao and Zhou Xiaotian rapidly looked over their shoulders to stare at Fang Qiu, their eyes rather sharp.

nAs if they were telling Fang Qiu that if he refused, they would never let him off the hook.

nAs everyone was watching him intently, Fang Qiu slowly got onto his feet and strode up to the stage with a smile.

n“It’s my honor.”

n“Clap, clap, clap…”

nSeeing Fang Qiu head for the stage, people in the surroundings immediately applauded enthusiastically.

nAt this, Li Qingshi felt his heart missed a beat. A very bad feelings stole across his body, and a bitter sensation started to spread in his heart.

nBut Liu Feifei felt very happy for Fang Qiu.

n“Good for you, kid.”

n“Seems that you’re bound to shine today!”

nArriving at the edge of the stage, Fang Qiu directly leaped up to the stage that was one meter and a half high.

nDue to the darkness, no one caught clear sight of Fang Qiu’s movements. Instead, they felt like he just turned up on the stage all of a sudden and were sort of curious about how he had accomplished it.

nBut Jiang Miaoyu saw it quite clearly. She was a bit amazed by Fang Qiu’s leaping ability.

n“Thank you, Fang Qiu.”

nAfter getting over her amazement, she gave a courteous bow to him to show her gratitude.

n“You’re welcome.”

nFang Qiu also did a little bow in return.

n“Then, the musical accompaniment is up to you.”

nSaid Jiang Miaoyu with sincere gratitude, her eyes following Fang Qiu.

nWith the bright moon shining, the two could clearly see each other’s expression.

n“No problem.”

nFang Qiu said, “Shall we begin?”

n“Yeah!”

nJiang Miaoyu turned around to face the audience and announced, “Please enjoy the song ‘Hélène’ performed by Fang Qiu and me. The voice might be a little small, but please pardon us.”

n“It’s OK!”

nMany responded from off the stage.

nJiang Miaoyu gave a smile, and then, nodded at Fang Qiu.

nFang Qiu caught the signal, and pressed his palms together and put them near his mouth.

nIn the pool of white moonlight, the two stood there motionlessly, as though a wonderful picture.

nAn elegant melody slowly streamed out through Fang Qiu’s fingers.

nIt was the same prelude as the blackout occurred before, though played by a different musical instrument. The tune the hand flute produced was quite beautiful as well.

nJiang Miaoyu’s fabulous voice also chimed in at great timing.

n“Hélène, sitting by my side.”

n“Thick longing for you, spreading along the moonlight.”

nAlthough she only sang two lines, the whole audience went stupified.

n“What a beautiful voice!”

n“The campus belle is so good at singing!”

n“She is not less than any professional singer!”

n“Her voice and Fang Qiu’s accompaniment completed each other.”

n“And created a kind of ethereal beauty!”

n“The two’s joint performance is perfect!”

nDespite the burning desire of cheering and applauding for Jiang Miaoyu and Fang Qiu, all the audience down the stage remained silent, because once they made a sound they would not be able to hear the wonderful singing. Thus, no one let out a sound. They just sat there listening quietly.

nAt this time, some of the students took out their smartphones and lighted up the screens. Then, they raised the smartphones up in the air and waved in silence.

nMore and more students joined their team.

nVery soon, the entire sports ground was turned into a sea of light.

nIt looked as if clusters of fireworms were fluttering in the night sky, which was quite dazzling and spectacular.

nIt also took Fang Qiu by surprise that Jiang Miaoyu could sing so melodically. In particular, her pure and flawless voice made the song sound so warm and touching.

nThe playing continued.

n“Hélène, being at your side.”

n“Watching your smiling face, kissing the edge of your lips.”

n“If love is a swing.”

n“Then you’re my pivot.”

nAs Jiang Miaoyu’s singing sounded, a smile involuntarily played around everyone’s lips.

nThey seemed to have seen a girl in white sitting on a swing and swaying gently. That girl was the one they had a secret crush on or their old selves expecting love in the innocent middle school days.

n“I just want to be with you, and you’re my starting point.”

n“Hélène, is a stack of yesterdays.”

n“How I wish I didn’t hear the sorry you said to me.”

n“Hélène, is an air wire.”

n“Only captures the past, the pictures from memories.”

n“Without you, how do I perform”

n“Those forevers that you said to me.”

nLove in puberty was always fragile. The “forever” lovers promised each other was prone to end up with apologies.

nEveryone could not help but heave a sigh for their faded love.

nWafts of bitterness surged up in their mind.

nAfter all, whose adolescence was not full of hope and dream?

nAnd whose dream did not have the presence of the one they loved?

n“Hélène, let me stick to love.”

n“After all, I used to have it for a period of time.”

n“Or perhaps, parting is another kind of help to you!”

n“Love, will be put in my heart.”

n“Some things don’t have a time limit.”

n“Exactly!”

nEveryone thought.

n“Perhaps, parting is just another kind of help. I used to have your love for some time, and that is enough for me.”

n“I’ll put the love in my heart and treasure it forever. No time limit is set. I’ll do so until the end of time.”

n“No matter you are in which part of the world.”

n“You’ll always live in my heart.”

nAfter singing the above, Jiang Miaoyu, with everyone gazing at her bewilderedly, reached out a hand towards Fang Qiu.

nFang Qiu obviously froze for a second when he saw this gesture.

n“What does she want?”

n“Ask me to sing?”

n“Didn’t she merely want me here to accompany her?”

n“Why did she change her mind and want to turn this into a chorus?”

nBut there was no time for Fang Qiu to think it through. He just began to sing without music.

n“Hélène, is an air wire.”

n“Only captures the past, the pictures from memories.”

n“Without you, how do I perform”

n“Those forevers that you said to me.”

nGasp!

nThe whole audience was astounded.

nHis voice had captured everyone’s heart since he sang the very first line!

nThe most astonishing thing was his singing was not inferior to Jiang Miaoyu’s at all!

nComparing to Jiang Miaoyu’s soft tune as if a girl was murmuring in her sweet dream, Fang Qiu’s magnetic voice was more like a young man was very coolly confiding his thoughts in wind.

nThis guy’s hand flute skills were already quite terrific. What was more, his singing skills were also fantastic. How could other people compete with him?

nAt this point, Liu Feifei was already at a loss about how to evaluate Fang Qiu.

nThat kid had not been hiding some insignificant skills, but great talents!

nIf she had known that Fang Qiu could sing so well, she would have signed up two shows for him.

nLi Qingshi’s face turned rather nasty.

nFang Qiu was far more brilliant than he had imagined, which made him feel under pressure.

nJiang Miaoyu blinked her gorgeous eyes several times and looked at Fang Qiu in amazement. Nor did she ever expect that Fang Qiu was so good at singing.

nIn fact, she was intending to let Fang Qiu do a piece of solo with his hand flute, which would go pretty well with her previous singing.

nHowever, to her surprise, Fang Qiu misinterpreted her gesture and went straight into singing by himself.

nBut the singing was even better than the music solo!

n“Hélène, let me stick to love.”

n“After all, I used to have it for a period of time.”

nAlthough there was no music but his singing, it did not dent the performance effect.

nIt was incredibly beautiful.

nThey realized for the first time that a person could still sing so beautifully without music!

nThe girls underneath the stage started to gaze at Fang Qiu with glinting eyes.

nWhile the boys were hoping they were the Fang Qiu standing on the stage.

nThe guy was just too cool and too awesome!
