Chapter 10 A perfect pair! (1/2)
A blackout occurred!
A fu*king blackout started!
At this moment, everyone went infuriated.
”It is the Mid-Autumn Festival gala!”
”It is the moment that the campus belle Jiang Miaoyu will open her mouth and sing a song!”
”But a power cut happened!”
The audience remained deathly quiet for a few seconds before bursting into thunderous roars of complaints, venting their infinite rage.
”Fu*k! How come the power failure occurred at this moment? Do they have no compassion at all?”
”My Goddess is just about to sing. The power cut really picked its timing well! Coming at this joint!”
”What is the power supply bureau doing? Giving us a blackout on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, the Mid-autumn Festival! Don't they fear of incurring public wrath?”
”Return my electricity! I need electricity! I want to hear Jiang Miaoyu sing!”
Furious protests grew louder and louder.
At the violent howls of rage, the dean, who had been sitting in the audience, was also taken aback. Scowling, he hastened to inquire the staff off the stage, ”What's wrong? Why there is a sudden blackout?”
The staff answered in a hurry, ”At present, we don't know the details. But the surrounding communities are also having a blackout. Perhaps a trip or cutting-out just occurred on our campus. I'll investigate the specifics right off!”
After saying so, he took off in haste.
After the staff went away, the dean stood up. He felt the need to step forward at this moment and appease the raging audience. Otherwise, if some accident really happened, as the dean, he could hardly absolve himself from the blame.
Precisely at this moment, Jiang Miaoyu spoke on the stage.
”Please quiet down!”
Although it was she who was speaking, in comparison with the indignant snarls coming from all the audience, her voice was like a pebble being tossed into the sea, too insignificant to make any wave.
”Please quiet down!”
”Please quiet down!”
Jiang Miaoyu let out three anxious shouts in a row on the stage, but no one responded.
Now she became quite worried.
At this point, a voice as loud as a clap of thunder suddenly sounded over the sports ground.
”Jiang Miaoyu is asking everyone to quiet down!”
The voice instantly drowned out all the noises.
It was precisely Fang Qiu who said those words. Others did not hear Jiang Miaoyu's words, but he heard them clearly.
Therefore, he said so.
However, he did not allow others to detect he was the speaker, because he changed his voice and let it burst out directly in the air.
Not a single person knew it was he who said those words.
When they heard that it was the campus belle who wanted them to be quiet, the whole audience, who had been overwhelmed by fury, immediately became silent and cast their eyes upon Jiang Miaoyu, whose figure looked mistily beautiful in the pool of the bright moonlight of the Mid-autumn Festival.
The dean also let out a sigh of relief and sat down, emotions rising in his heart.
”Seems that I'm living in a world where good-looks prevail!”
”Thanks, everyone!”
Jiang Miaoyu did a little bow and tried to speak as loudly as possible, ”The song I'm supposed to sing is 'Hélène', Cai Chunjia's version. I wonder if any of those students who did their performance with musical instruments is familiar with this song. If so, can you accompany me to sing this song?”
However, nobody replied.
Apparently none of them had listened to it ever.
Li Qingshi could play the guitar, and he was really eager to accompany his Goddess on the stage. But he knew nothing about the song.
”Well then, let me sing it without musical instruments.”
Just when Jiang Miaoyu finished those words, an abrupt shout suddenly broke out from the audience.
”Fang Qiu!”
At this, Fang Qiu went stupefied for a second.
But the eyes of everyone on the scene lighted up.
”Exactly!”
”Fang Qiu!”
”The show he just did is truly amazing. If he can play this song and accompanies our campus belle Jiang to perform it, they will be a perfect pair, a combination of two strong ones!”
”Fang Qiu! Fang Qiu!”
The crowd suddenly broke into a chorus.
Many turned to look at the area where Class Three of the Chinese Medicine were sitting.
The whole school was staring at Class Three, while the whole Class Three was staring at Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu looked around in a daze.
He could not figure out why everybody's train of thoughts was so odd—naming him as the candidate!
On the stage, Jiang Miaoyu was looking expectantly at the position where Fang Qiu was in her memory. She asked, ”Fang Qiu, can you play the song 'Hélène'?”
Off the stage, Li Qingshi looked a bit nervously towards Class Three.
How he wished Fang Qiu did not know the song.
”If he knows, then, the impression he left Jiang Miaoyu will get considerably better.”
But Fang Qiu nodded and said, ”Yes, I can.”
Although his voice was not loud, all the people on the sports ground heard it clearly.
”Then, could you accompany me for the song?”
Asked Jiang Miaoyu elatedly and hopefully.
Sun Hao and Zhou Xiaotian rapidly looked over their shoulders to stare at Fang Qiu, their eyes rather sharp.
As if they were telling Fang Qiu that if he refused, they would never let him off the hook.
As everyone was watching him intently, Fang Qiu slowly got onto his feet and strode up to the stage with a smile.
”It's my honor.”
”Clap, clap, clap...”
Seeing Fang Qiu head for the stage, people in the surroundings immediately applauded enthusiastically.
At this, Li Qingshi felt his heart missed a beat. A very bad feelings stole across his body, and a bitter sensation started to spread in his heart.
But Liu Feifei felt very happy for Fang Qiu.
”Good for you, kid.”
”Seems that you're bound to shine today!”
Arriving at the edge of the stage, Fang Qiu directly leaped up to the stage that was one meter and a half high.
Due to the darkness, no one caught clear sight of Fang Qiu's movements. Instead, they felt like he just turned up on the stage all of a sudden and were sort of curious about how he had accomplished it.
But Jiang Miaoyu saw it quite clearly. She was a bit amazed by Fang Qiu's leaping ability.
”Thank you, Fang Qiu.”
After getting over her amazement, she gave a courteous bow to him to show her gratitude.
”You're welcome.”
Fang Qiu also did a little bow in return.
”Then, the musical accompaniment is up to you.”
Said Jiang Miaoyu with sincere gratitude, her eyes following Fang Qiu.
With the bright moon shining, the two could clearly see each other's expression.
”No problem.”
Fang Qiu said, ”Shall we begin?”
”Yeah!”
Jiang Miaoyu turned around to face the audience and announced, ”Please enjoy the song 'Hélène' performed by Fang Qiu and me. The voice might be a little small, but please pardon us.”
”It's OK!”
Many responded from off the stage.
