19 Youre Still You (2/2)
”I agree!, can I have another condition? If I win I want princess Lin to stop interacting with him.”
Lin Xueyue was about to refuse, Hu Kuang immediately said, ”Hey! Shen Tianyun, are you a man or not? Do you dare to accept this condition? If I win I want you to stop pestering princess Lin.” He tries to provoke Shen Tianyun to accept this condition. Huang Zheng and Zhou Feng were dissatisfied at first but now they become delighted upon hearing the condition.
Shen Tianyun tried his hardest to suppress his laughter, he thought that Hu Kuang is more mature than those two idiots' young masters, after all, he has talents in music and literature. These types of people usually have a better mindset. It looks like Shen Tianyun was overestimating his opponent again. However, he is not the arrogance type and underestimated his enemy.
”Sure, but it seems the wagers aren't fair, right? How about if I win, you have to announce to the entire school that you lose to me in composing talents. What do you think?” He asked.
”Alright! I agree!” Hu Kuang smiled widely and accepted immediately. Meanwhile the two teacher Wang Lei and Zhou Liming didn't say anything. Shen Tianyun thought it was really weird, what is Zhou Liming doing here? He didn't seem to interfere with this.
Thinking carefully, he quickly asks. ” What do you think, teacher Wang, teacher Zhou? I hope that you won't interfere with this after the competition ends.”
”I agree, don't worry. I won't interfere on this matter, I just come here to be a witness.” Teacher Wang nodded in satisfaction, he feels relieved from a huge burden.
Zhou Liming looked at Zhou Feng, the latter nodded in agreement. ”Alright, I agree.” He replied.
Shen Tianyun nodded and looked at Hu Kuang, ”who goes first?”
Hu Kuang puffs his chest and proudly says, ”Of course, I will go first. I wanted to give you more time so people won't think that I bully you.” He then sat down before the piano.
”This song is called 'You are my angel', princess Lin please listen carefully.” His gesture was graceful and brimming with pride. He looked at Lin Xueyue with passionate eyes. Lin Xueyue didn't reply anything to him. Hu Kuang becomes awkward for a moment before taking a deep breath and beginning to play.
The beautiful melody ringing into everyone's ears, he truly deserved to be number one in composing talent. The notes were arranged very well, it was smooth but still, have a little flaws in it. Shen Tianyun nodded his head to himself, if Hu Kuang is not his enemy, he probably applauded him already.
Hu Kuang started to sing, the song was describing how beautiful a woman is, and how she meant to him. He described a woman in the song like an angel that descended from heaven. Shen Tianyun thought that this song could easily capture a young maiden's heart, it is the nature of women, they love to be praised. Hu Kuang's voice was quite clear, he could sing along with the notes well without any panic, indicating that he was truly proficient in this aspect.
When Hu Kuang finished his song, everyone in the room immediately applauded. Lin Xueyue nodded her head to acknowledge his song. However, no one sees a strange light flashed across her eyes. She herself also doesn't know why she was very confident in Shen Tianyun and believed that he will never lose in this competition. She didn't feel panic at all.
Huang Zheng and Zhou Feng saw Lin Xueyue's expression, glaring at Hu Kuang who wanted to eat him alive.
Hu Kuang slowly stood up and smiled confidently at Lin Xueyue and said, ”I hope you like this song of mine because, in my heart, you are the angel.” Lin Xueyue didn't even look at him and she didn't say anything as if she didn't hear what he said. Hu Kuang became awkward again.
He coughs to ease the awkwardness and says to Shen Tianyun, ”It's your turn now, don't pressure yourself too hard. I know you are a newbie after all. Do your best.” If there was no hint of mocking in his voice, people would think that he has sincerely cared for Shen Tianyun.
Shen Tianyun suppressed an urge to laugh, he quickly sitting down in front of the piano, looked at Lin Xueyue with a gentleness and tenderness filled in his eyes. ”Xueyue, I know what you are upset about in these past few days. Please, listen to this song.” He didn't say too many honey words and started to play the song.
When the first notes rang out, it magically captured Lin Xueyue's heart, and her heart began to beat rapidly. The intro melody was very beautifully arranged, she immersed herself into it. Hu Kuang's expression changed, his face became ashen. He never thought that Shen Tianyun could arrange these notes beautifully and smoothly to this point. He started to think that he had underestimated Shen Tianyun greatly.
Shen Tianyun opened his mouth and began to sing,
” In the hazy sky, there will always be light.
Shining to your eyes, a dream won't be a lie.
Baby, you do no wrong, you are still you.
I am here for you, we will walk through.
The times changed everything, the truth stayed the same.
Nothing can change you, and I think so too.
Because you are still you. Oh baby.~
It's alright, you are still you.~ ”
His voice wasn't that great to the professional level, it was slightly above average but his voice was so clear and pleasant to hear. He didn't sing off the notes even slightest. His songs become huge magnets that magnetize Lin Xueyue into a new world. She had been upset about her dream, but recently she keeps dreaming about Dongfang Xueyue and Shen Tianyun. She felt that that wasn't her or perhaps, she didn't dare to believe it. When she hears the words 'You are still you' from Shen Tianyun, her heart pounding rapidly in contrast to her mind which is gradually calming down.
She gazes at Shen Tianyun and sees the shadow of Shen Tianyun in her dream overlapping him. Thinking about how Dongfang Xueyue was madly in love with this man, her face became red and her lips formed into a very beautiful smile. Her expression didn't escape Hu Kuang, Huang Zheng, and Zhou Feng's eyes. They gritted their teeth glaring at Shen Tianyun, couldn't wait to tear him apart.
