Chapter 14: White Bird
This ansas clearly beyond Ding Meng’s expectations She was dazed for a moment
Upon carefully recalling the past, she really…didn’t seem to have ever told hiest hope for him was just to pass a math exam
She looked at Qiao Yichen in confusion He seemed to have sank into some distant memory “I remember in the 2nd year of middle school, the school choir represented our school by participating in a perfor basketball, I just happened to pass by the choir roo inside At that time, there weren’t many people left in at the school I wanted to find out ould stay so late to sing so I went to take a look”
Ding Meng was a little alarht?”
Qiao Yichen laughed “You were singing White Bird The scene at that e sky, a young girl was gazing into the distance and absorbed in her singing For a split second, I als spread out from your shoulders”
That was also his first ti that music could hold such power
Ding Meng stared at him, eyes full of astonishment She had no idea that her secret practices back then had been discovered by her little deskQiao Yichen’s description just now, she soirl was too fat and ruined the beautiful painting”
Qiao Yichen lightly laughed and looked at her, “Actually it was alright I just felt a little worried you wouldn’t be able to fly off the ground”
Ding Meng, “…”
Listening to the just first half of Qiao Yichen’s words was enough
She blinked her lashes and stood up from the floor
The sky in the distance was pitch black She raised her head, looked at the sky as she had done in the past, and began to sing, “I want a pair of wings, to fly through the air like a bird, following the wind to welcome the rays, and head anywhere”
Her bright voice gradually disappeared into the night She lowered her head and looked at Qiao Yichen to speak, “Back then, the choir teacher recoer so I secretly practiced, but ultimately, I was still disood”
While she are of her chubbiness, she had hoped that she could sing even better and use her voice to win over everyone In the end, the school president had still chosen soirl, whose name she couldn’t even remember anymore, to lead the chorus
“He probably also worried I wouldn’t be able to fly off the ground”
“Pu” Qiao Yichen laughed quietly and stood up with her “You’re so graceful now You’ll definitely be able to fly”
Ding Meng lifted her brows and laughed, “I’ve decided I’ White Bird at the next competition
Qiao Yichen nodded his head “M a nursery rhyme is indeed quite unexpected”
Ding Meng, “…”
White Bird was extrejing Afterwards, because of the catchy te their own covers Even later, it was added into her middle school music textbook
To bluntly say she was going to be singing a nursery rhy his emperor rank musical accomplishments!
Qiao Yichen watched her expression turn as if she had sed a fly Then he laughed and rubbed her head “Don’t give yourself so much pressure Even more, don’t feel so co as everyday you’re doing better than the previous day, that’s enough”
Ding Meng nodded her head, feeling a little ehed, “Ah, back then after every exa this and that person had scored higher thanrades definitely would have advanced by leaps and bounds”
Ding Meng, “…”
Her hands waved a goodbye
Qiao Yichen followed behind as she silently walked downstairs “Take a bath and sleep early”
“Oh” Ding Meng locked up her door and took a bath When she laid on the bed, she couldn’t help but think, perhaps there did see back in the day?
The next day when Ding Meng walked out of her room, Qiao Yichen had already left On the table was breakfast and there was even a s walked up and prodded open the bag Inside was a packed lunch On the lid was a note with tords written on it, “Bring Me”
She couldn’t help but laugh She neatly and quickly finished her breakfast, carried the packed lunch, and walked out
Her state of mind was much better than yesterday’s It was alence Even when the instructor said nize, she quickly understood
During theshi+ran, who yesterday acted as if she hadn’t seen Ding Meng, ran out to talk to her “Ding Meng, you seem much different from yesterday”
Ding Meng laughed but didn’t speak Tang shi+ran probably thought that she was hiding her strength again and had performed so terribly yesterday on purpose
Tang shi+ran saw that Ding Meng didn’t speak and see wavy hair walked past the shi+ran’s eyes flashed upon seeing the girl and found so new to talk about “Ah, did you know, there are quite a few contestants who have backstage connections?”
Ding Meng was in thewater She choked when she heard those words No way, had she already been exposed?
But the one Tang shi+ran was talking about clearly was not her “Did you see that girl who just walked by? She’s usually ice cold and doesn’t talk with anyone However, I’ve heard that the Heavenly Voice director is her aunt”
Ding Meng paused Although she didn’t like to gossip, this information was really too juicy She couldn’t help but look over at the girl who had just walked by The girl felt their glances and coldly shot the back her head to drink water
Tang shi+ran’s shoulders tre a huoosebuain “Her na, just like the Mu in the director’s naure the rumors are mostly true”
Ding Meng drank anotheran opinion
