C49 Because of you (2/2)
I looked at Ling Dongcheng. His face was no longer hanging, and how could he possibly let go of Liu Qing's words in front of so many people? The muscles on his face twitched, and he raised his head to directly circle around Liu Qing, staring fixedly at me. If you don't dare, then just let Liu Qing do it, if you say no, I will immediately go down, and I won't be able to do anything even if Liu Qing is blind! ”
”Isn't it just singing? Only someone as bored as you would associate singing with being a man? Then let me sing a song. ” I expressionlessly looked at Ling Dongcheng as I spoke indifferently.
Hearing my words, the one with the biggest reaction was Liu Qing. Liu Qing suddenly turned her head, and looked at me with a face full of astonishment: ”Little Buddha, you don't have to force yourself just because of him.”
”Not because of him.” I laughed as I reached out and rubbed Liu Qing's head, saying gently, ”It's because of you, how can you say you're blind? I am your Little Buddha, he is not allowed to speak of you like that. ”
Liu Qing's delicate body trembled, her eyes filled with emotions. I glanced sideways at Ling Dongcheng and his face turned green and purple, as if he wanted to eat me up. I smiled and turned to look at him, saying calmly, ”Give me your guitar.”
”Heh.” The corner of Ling Dongcheng's mouth raised, and he laughed in disdain as he tossed the guitar on his shoulder to me, as though he was determined that I was trying to force myself to show some face. I took the guitar and was about to walk in front of the microphone when Liu Qing grabbed my arm. I turned and looked at her, and she looked at me worriedly while shaking her head.
”No problem.” I smiled as I looked at Liu Qing and said, ”When have you ever seen your senior brother me do things that I'm not confident in?”
”Is that enough? The audience is still waiting!” Ling Dongcheng clenched his teeth and urged from the side.
Without looking at him, I stand in front of the microphone in the middle of the stage with my guitar. Can I play guitar? Can I sing? No, Monk, ah Monk, but I already promised you that you could help me take care of this matter! You're just bragging. I'm standing here, too. Don't you dare scam me!
”Alright, now everyone is looking forward to Senior Sister Liu Qing's courage in bringing us a guitar and singing performance!” The master of ceremonies shouted to liven up the atmosphere that had been awkward for so long; but there was no sound under the stage, and I looked up and saw only suspicion and even contempt.
”Your posture is decent, but your fingers have no calluses or scars. You don't even know the guitar, and if you want to learn something, you will only know how to use it a little. Compared to me, you are too lacking, and your voice is low and unsteady. It's not like you can sing at all. You don't sound like you're going out of tune. Do you really think I'm stupid?” Ling Dongcheng intentionally turned off his microphone, and coldly said from behind me.
I know that the words he said were even more ridiculing to Liu Qing.
I ignored him and slowly closed my eyes. I held the guitar by the head with one hand and touched the strings with the other. Since things had already come this far, there was no longer any possibility for me to retreat.
I clenched my back teeth and ran my left hand along the strings of my guitar, thinking of the melody of ”Those Years!”
For an instant, the ethereal, mysterious, and full of the vicissitudes of life of the guitar began to play in front of the microphone, with the prelude to the song ”The Years,” and for a moment I was the first one to stop myself. I looked up at my own hand.
Monk really has it in his mouth, it's exactly the same as when I beat up Hu Qianfa the last time!
With the beginning, I felt a lot of confidence; my left hand continued to play the guitar and sweep it; beautiful notes flowed out from my fingertips one by one, it could be said that the guitar was played with the best of my ability, forcefully strumming out traces of the vicissitudes of life from the guitar in Xiao Qing's new ”Those Years”, as if it was a mature man in his early thirties who was reminiscing about his junior high school, his unforgettable first love!
”No, that's impossible!” This, this level, is even higher than my teacher's, I, I've only heard such exquisite tones on a magnificent guitarist CD! ” Ling Dongcheng's voice that was filled with disbelief rang beside my ears, I looked at him sideways and smiled, but did not say anything. Then, I looked at Liu Qing, who was on the other side.
”What's the use of playing the guitar well? Even if you don't sing well, you'll ruin the song!” Ling Dongcheng shouted unhappily by my side.
”Is that so?” I chuckled in my heart. With the experience I had with guitars, I stopped panicking after singing. I shouted out the lyrics and rhythm in my head without any hesitation.
”I've returned to my original starting point, your green face …”
F * ck, is this a f * cking song that I sang? Why is it so nice! I was actually conquered by my own singing voice. At this moment, I felt like I was standing in my bathroom instead of the stage. I felt like the me singing at this moment was the real me, and the motherfucker in the KTV wasn't me at all.
The singing and the guitar matched perfectly, instantly pulling me to the imagined junior high school. I sat in the familiar classroom, watching the familiar teacher explain the formula on the blackboard, and the girl in front of me wearing the seductive and green suspenders, faintly discernible in the transparent white school uniform, was my whole youth.
At this moment, I felt intoxicated. I shouted with all my might:
”I really want to go back to those years. Before and after I returned to the classroom, I intentionally made you scold me gently. Whoever sits with him will fall in love with her … ”
