Chapter 8: Singing Together

Lu Ye was stunned.

The audience was stunned.

Even the host was taken aback.

Su Bai Zhou stood expressionlessly on stage.

This was the welcome party, an invitation from the new students. In theory, it should have been acceptable to agree; refusing would have had a negative impact.

But this was Su Bai Zhou. Asking her to agree to such a thing was absurd.

Just when the host thought Su Bai Zhou would refuse, she calmly said, \"Sure.\"

Hearing this, the host was somewhat surprised.

He had already planned how to make things work, but he didn't expect Su Bai Zhou to actually agree.

Wang Dachui nudged Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was dumbfounded.

"Are you serious, Brother Hammer?"

"Why are you so hesitant, Wild Kid? The opportunity is yours. Go up!"

Lu Ye was dragged onto the stage by Wang Dachui.

With a reluctant heart, he walked up.

Looking at the audience, who were staring at him with puzzled eyes, Lu Ye couldn't help but feel nervous, appearing quite shy and somewhat awkward.

The host handed another microphone to Lu Ye.

"What song will you sing?"

Su Bai Zhou asked in a cold voice.

Her presence was overwhelming.

On stage, Su Bai Zhou exuded a sense of pressure that made Lu Ye feel unworthy, too timid to speak.

"Anything... anything's fine."

Haha... little stammerer.

Su Bai Zhou inwardly chuckled and then said, "Since it's a duet, let's sing 'A Bit Sweet,' a simpler song."

'A Bit Sweet'?

Lu Ye was slightly taken aback.

While Lu Ye remained silent, Wang Dachui in the audience nearly went crazy, frantically signaling him to agree quickly.

Seeing this, Lu Ye suddenly found the situation amusing, and his nervousness eased considerably.

"Alright!"

In the audience, Wang Dachui shouted first, clapping enthusiastically, and under his influence, countless spectators hesitantly joined in.

Many hadn't heard of the 'Rainy Day' sung during military training, although Lu Ye's singing video had been posted on the confession wall, making him somewhat famous.

However, its publicity wasn't extensive, and even Wang Dachui was betting on whether Su Bai Zhou had heard of it. Fortunately, he guessed right.

After hearing Su Bai Zhou's angelic voice, the audience believed no one could sing with her on stage.

Their gazes towards Lu Ye now carried some doubt.

Under the host's arrangement, the accompaniment for 'A Bit Sweet' began.

The first part was male vocals, and Lu Ye took a deep breath.

The next moment, he closed his eyes.

Memories of meeting Fairy Senior Sister surfaced in his mind, gradually easing his tension.

When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with tenderness.

Since it was a love song, he needed to immerse himself in the performance.

He turned to look at Su Bai Zhou and slowly opened his mouth.

Pick an apple, wait for you to pass by the door.

Deliver it to your hand to quench your thirst.

Seeing Luo Ye's tender gaze at this moment, Su Bai Zhou felt a slight stir in his heart.

This kid really has a talent for singing. 'Like a summer Coke, like winter hot cocoa.'

'You are the right person at the right time.'

As they sang together, although Su Bai Zhou's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were no longer as cold as before.

Luo Ye wouldn't miss the chance to perform on stage with Fairy Senior Sister.

This time, he would give it his all and showcase his full abilities.

The audience had already shifted from initial skepticism to enjoying the performance.

Upon closer inspection, Luo Ye was somewhat handsome and shy, a typical pure-hearted young boy.

Everyone listened attentively to the songs sung by the two on stage. 'I don't know why, my wounds haven't healed,'

'but you just barged into my heart.'

'With the most romantic chorus,' 'you also softly agree.'

'Our choices are affirmed by our determined gazes.

'...'

After the performance, the audience erupted in even louder applause.

The host walked onto the stage, took the microphone from Luo Ye's hand, and excitedly said, 'I never expected to hear such a performance at the welcome party.

Thank you, Su Bai Zhou and this junior, for making this welcome party more meaningful.'

'I hope everyone's university life is rich and colorful, and wish you all success in your studies.

This welcome party is over now.

Please leave in an orderly manner.' After leaving the welcome party venue, Wang Dachui put his arm around Luo Ye's shoulder. 'How was it, Wild Kid, performing with Goddess Su?'

Luo Ye replied without hesitation, 'An honor.'

'Well...' Wang Dachui grinned mischievously, 'This opportunity was given to you by your bro Wang.

Don't you have anything to show for it?'

'A week of breakfasts?'

'A month.'

'No way, at most two weeks.'

'Deal.'

Seeing Wang Dachui's triumphant look, Luo Ye's face darkened. He had been cheated... But thinking about the moment when Wang Dachui stood up during the welcome party, Luo Ye felt warm again.

Despite Wang Dachui's usual lecherous behavior, he stepped up when it mattered, never letting anyone down.

National Good Roommate Wang Dachui.

Back in the dormitory, Shen Qiao was still playing games on his bed.

'Not bad, you two.' Shen Qiao exclaimed, 'The video of Luo Ye and Su Bai Zhou's duet has gone viral in the school group and confession wall.'

'Everyone says it's a perfect match.' Wang Dachui leaned towards Luo Ye, grinning slyly, 'Wild Kid, do you really have feelings for Su Bai Zhou?'

'No.'

Luo Ye's expression changed instantly, and he denied without hesitation.

Seeing him like this, Shen Qiao and Wang Dahammer exchanged glances and smiled at each other.

This kid can't lie at all. 'Wild child, if you like her, just go for it. Dad supports you.'

Wang Dahammer said, 'But if you really end up with Su Bai Zhou, I think all the boys in the school will want to kill you.

Of course, I don't think Su Bai Zhou would ever look at you.'

'If you're not my brother, I don't think you understand.

No matter what, she's called the Ice Queen for a reason. She might not be interested in males at all.'

'What are you talking about?' Li Haoyang walked in with a cheerful expression. 'Damn, why are you looking so rosy? Did you go on a date?'

Li Haoyang chuckled and said, 'Student Liu Bingxin invited me to the cafeteria for lunch.'

'What? Liu Bingxin?' Wang Dahammer looked at Li Haoyang with a shocked expression. 'Bingxin clearly likes me. Why did she invite you?'

Hearing this, Luo Ye and Shen Qiao were speechless.

Liu Bingxin, a tall loli, stands 170 cm tall.

At the same height, girls appear taller, so if Wang Dahammer were with Liu Bingxin, she would probably be taller than him.

Now look at our brother Hao Yang, a muscular guy paired with a tall loli—doesn't that make perfect sense? 'I never thought the coach, who usually seems a bit dim-witted, could play his friends so well that we can't even compare,' Luo Ye sighed. 'Don't be ridiculous.

I was going to the office to handle some matters for the counselor.

Liu happened to be there, so we just had lunch together.'

'Oh, just had lunch together~' The three of them spoke sarcastically, their faces showing doubt.

'Go, go, let's start playing.'

'Sure.'

'Are you coming too, Brother Luo?'

'Of course.' Opening his phone, Luo Ye suddenly remembered he hadn't checked Green Bubble in a long time, so he took a quick look and found several unread messages.

From Xu Xiaojia: 'Is that muscle-bound guy pretending to be an upperclassman in your dorm? I saw him with you last time at the cafeteria.

He's the acting class president now.'

'That muscle-bound guy is so handsome!'

'Nice one, Luo Ye. I heard you sang during military training.'

'What are you doing, Luo Ye?...'

'Really not checking your messages? I don't believe you. You're intentionally ignoring me.'

'... Really not replying, I give up.'

Luo Ye was puzzled for a moment.

Who was this person?

He hadn't yet memorized everyone in the class. But soon,

Luo Ye twitched his lips and finally remembered.

How could he have forgotten this chatty lady.
