My voice wasn’t exactly idol-worthy. I knew that but I projected it loud enough to carry across the gym, hitting the opening notes of Steal Your Heart with as much confidence as I could muster.
The melody of the song was supposed to be sappy, one that could make someone remember bittersweet memories from their past. However, the way I sang it while running failed to hold that up. It became more upbeat, like a piece of pop music.
If Yue were here, she’d surely run and join me in singing it in a tune. Yeah… She wouldn't go around scolding me for ruining her song, she'd be ecstatic to hear me sing it even though I already sang it to her a few times before.
Anyway, I kept up with my pace as I let the memorized lyrics flow naturally.
To my surprise, the acoustics of the gymnasium made my voice sound fuller. It was almost as if I was performing on a stage.
The students’ reactions were immediate.
