The mini version of the Fu Xiqin, in Zuzi’s hands, played an ethereal and grand yet not excessively flamboyant tune.
Sun Yunyun and Bian Xiaohong still wanted to continue competing in folk songs, but at this mont, their voices were completely overwheld, not a sound could be heard.
Xi Rubao and Wu Qianman, however, quickly reacted and cleared their throats, following Zuzi’s advice to "sing a few lines casually," and started humming along with the music.
Strangely enough, even though there was neither a score nor lyrics, their hums of "hmm hmm ah ah" surprisingly matched the tune.
Both were originally embarrassed about their off-key singing, but at this mont, their pitch was unbelievably accurate, a perfect match for Zuzi’s ethereal lody.
Everyone looked in surprise towards the direction of Zuzi and the others.
Who knew you could compete in singing like this?
Wow, learned sothing new.
Originally, singing competitions were all about montum, and with Zuzi’s performance, the montum was completely in her grasp.
Looks like the throne of the singing competition champion is about to change hands...
Just as everyone was impressed and convinced by the tune played by Zuzi,
suddenly, the music ca to an abrupt halt.
Xi Rubao continued humming, but without the accompanint, it just sounded ordinary.
She coughed awkwardly twice, "Sis, what’s up?"
Turning around, she saw that Zuzi was no longer there.
"Qianman, where’s my sis?"
Wu Qianman shook her head in confusion, completely unaware of when Zuzi had left, clearly just a mont ago they were all singing in harmony, right?
Without Zuzi’s music, the entire tune lost its soul.
Seizing the opportunity, Sun Yunyun and the others jeered, "Tch! We thought it was so amazing song, turns out it’s like a car stuck in first gear, your sister probably couldn’t show her face and sneaked away to the bathroom, didn’t she?"
Enraged, Xi Rubao retorted, "Nonsense! My, my sister’s ethereal music, just hearing a snippet is your fortune, dream on if you think you can hear the whole piece! Qianman, let’s show them what we got!"
Wu Qianman whispered, "Bao Bao, can we do it?"
Xi Rubao: "We have to, whether we can or not, let’s finish the song first, we can’t let these jerks look down on us."
"Alright! So what should we sing? Humming like before doesn’t seem right..."
"Just sing... the song Mr. Bai sang before!"
"What?"
"I found a penny on the roadside..."
Wu Qianman: "..."
Though the song might be a bit childish, at least it’s a classic, and most importantly, it’s hard to sing off-key.
So she earnestly began to duet with Xi Rubao.
The two sang with such confidence and vigor, though not particularly stunning, that gradually, their classmates felt embarrassed to continue mocking them.
The song ended.
The whole place fell silent.
This song was just too hard to take seriously, yet also hard to mock, so they could only remain silent.
Under the shade of the tree not far away, the sound of robust, playful clapping echoed rhythmically.
Everyone looked over and noticed, at so point, a tall man leaning against the trunk of a Parasol Tree, with attendants standing respectfully behind him, clearly indicating his extraordinary status.
His mocking eyes carried a hint of nonchalant arrogance, even a touch of indescribable indifference, but wherever his gaze landed, it focused solely on the small empty spot where Zuzi used to be.
This mature and noble man suddenly appearing on campus was truly astonishing.
All the girls gently covered their mouths, feeling like they’d suddenly traversed into a sweet romance scene.
But the question remains, who is the heroine?
