Chapter 670: The Last Song (5)
Chapter 670: The Last Song (5)
The applause was loud, without much jealousy and disdain that should have been.
Because Zhao Kangwen's words reminded many people that the legendary Xu Tingsheng really exists, but in fact, it is only in the media and the Internet, and by their side is Xu Tingsheng, an ordinary rock college student.
In this era when the second generation of officials and the second generation of wealth are becoming more and more deprecatorative, Xu Tingsheng, who has wealth and fame at the same time, still leaves a relatively plain student image to his classmates.
In fact, even this image is not well managed by him, because he also skips class, fights, and hides in the back of the classroom to sleep......
But that's what makes it real.
Xu Tingsheng is very special, but not so special...... This is the personal experience of the teachers and students of Iwa.
And most of the time, he is gentle and well-behaved. The meaning of the rules probably means that those arrogance, showing off, and 'mixing' and 'chaos' do not exist in him. When Xu Sheng's group of people showed off and roamed the campus, driving a BMW to pick up one new 'girlfriend' after another, Xu Tingsheng, who always walked to the teaching building with his roommates, even behaved a little unusually.
In the past four years, the most eye-catching thing he has done at Rock University itself is probably the two goals scored in the freshman soccer game against Jianhai Technology...... What does this have to do with his wealth and fame?!
In addition, the heart of mutual sincerity, cohesion rock university, library construction fund...... Except for the mutual sincerity that had news at the beginning, the rest, condensed rock...... Even many of the students who received the aid didn't know that it turned out to be from Xu Tingsheng. As for the library construction fund, it is not until today that everyone has heard of it for the first time.
It seems difficult for you to ask too much and be disgusted too much by such a person.
The applause continued.
Even Xu Tingsheng himself was a little moved at this moment. Although most of these glories come from the wealth he created, its true meaning is irreplaceable by wealth.
It's a pity that the person he hopes can share the glory and pride with him is not around.
Of course, Xu Tingsheng didn't know that Xiang Ning, who was sitting in the dark audience at this moment, was actually secretly applauding him and being proud of him.
Principal Zhao Kangwen stretched out his hand and gestured.
Xu Tingsheng stepped onto the stage.
Zhao Kangwen gave him a badge of Yan University, and then left the stage to Xu Tingsheng.
"I just went back to change my clothes. Xu Tingsheng looked at the audience and smiled a little embarrassed.
There was a burst of laughter below.
Xu Tingsheng did not have formal clothes in his bedroom, and after being seriously criticized by Vice Principal Niu, his body was just a little neater than just now.
A pair of canvas shoes, beige casual trousers, the most formal is the upper body, he wears a brand new white shirt, but unfortunately some 'messy' rolled sleeves, so it doesn't look so formal.
"It's actually been a few days since I knew I was going to stand here today," Xu Tingsheng said, "and then, I seriously thought about it, if I have the opportunity to come back in the future, I will definitely prepare a speech and blow it in front of the younger students who don't know me." β
"But today, no, I can't blow it today, because I know you all too well......"
"You are, my teachers, and classmates from the same college, the same class, and even the same class. There were also my roommates, friends, teammates from the team, and many more, the 'girl' students I talked about with my roommates in the dorm room. β
Another burst of laughter.
"There's really no way to pretend in front of you. So, just say thank you to everyone", Xu Tingsheng bowed to the audience, "Then, cheekily sing a song to everyone." β
Applause, whistles, and cheers erupted.
This is the first time in the four years of college that Xu Tingsheng has appeared on such a stage in public, and he is ready to sing a song...... At the end of this university, the last song.
Xu Tingsheng picked up the guitar that someone had already put aside for help, sat down, adjusted the microphone, and tried to pluck the strings.
"Those 'Flowers'", the prelude sounded......
"Thank you, Xu Tingsheng. I don't know who in the audience took advantage of this moment to shout.
"Thank you for your bursary. Tutoring subsidy. β
"Thank you, senior. β
There were people who had received financial aid from the bursary, and the younger brothers and sisters who had sneaked in shouted in the crowded crowd.
"Thank you, Brother Xu. Li Xingmin shouted.
"Thank you, Brother Xu. Zhang Ninglang and the students around him shouted.
"Thank you, Brother Xu. β
The old crooked shouted and stood up excitedly...... Li Linlin was also immersed in memories just now, and I also want to say, thank you, Brother Xu.
When she found that the old crooked was overly agitated, it was too late to pull it.
Hearing the shout, Xu Tingsheng leaned over and looked at the old crooked position, I don't know which guy in charge of the lighting was so clever...... He threw a 'spotlight' at the old crooked ...... who stood up
The next moment, in the huge circle of light, Xu Tingsheng saw the 'excited' old crooked, Li Linlin, and ...... Xiang Ning.
"She's coming, she's here. β
"Didn't tell me. β
"Just look at me...... Don't let me know. β
It was the natural thinking of this moment, in addition to the 'agitation' and sourness, and apology, a question that Xu Tingsheng was still struggling with before suddenly had a firm answer.
Without Xiang Ning, where should I go after graduation?
The answer is already there, I want to stay in Yanzhou, even if I can't get close, at least within a few miles of her.
Stop the prelude that is almost finished.
"Sorry, I want to change the song. He said.
Then, in the slight surprise, confusion and commotion of the audience, the fingertips slid over the strings, and a new prelude slowly sounded.
Because it was a temporary idea, Xu Tingsheng was not so familiar with Xue Zhiqian's song "A Few Miles in a Radius" in his previous life...... He's a little 'messy', the guitar accompaniment is like that, the lyrics are ...... It's the same.
"If you were sincere, it was a good thing,
No need to swear, so naΓ―ve.
I thought I could, just let it be you,
I have nowhere to go anyway. β
Xu Tingsheng spoke, in the first paragraph, many people gradually reacted, they have not heard this song, so, is it original? Temporarily change to original, what does Xu Tingsheng want to express?
Xiang Ning was also listening......
Although just now, the moment she saw Xu Tingsheng's gaze fall on her, she wanted to escape...... But after all, I still couldn't make up my mind. Because, Xiao Xiang Ning's liar uncle, after guarding her for four years, graduated, broke up, chased to school but was driven away...... So perhaps, he will soon be gone, out of here.
Therefore, how could Xiang Ning do it, no longer look at him a few times, and not listen to the last song he sang.
"I'm afraid of people who are too responsible
Because he will die at any time
Love it or not
I depend on you for everything
I'll help you find even the reason
Rather than being in a world you don't want
It's better to forget about you......"
Because it was a song that was changed on the spot, Xu Tingsheng couldn't change it immediately to all the lyrics that were in line with his heart.
He sang the lyrics as they were.
Xiang Ning heard "Instead of being in a world you don't want, it's better to forget about you ......"
There was an unconscious pain in her heart, obviously this was her position during this time, it stands to reason that it should be what she was expecting, or the fact should have happened, but the 'chest' was inevitably painful......
"Is he determined? ready to forget me. β
Xiang Ning hurts.
Fortunately, Xu Tingsheng quickly sang to the next sentence.
"This truth is easy for everyone to understand, but it is hard to love it. β
It's just a hard mouth.
Immediately afterwards, it was the moment when Xu Tingsheng thought of this song and really wanted to express the words:
"I'd rather stay within a few miles of you,
My heart, if I don't return it, I'll send it to you,
Because I love you and have nothing to do with you. β
The heart climbed up from the bottom again, even if Xiang Ning was angry with his uncle again, and then he had a knot in his heart, he couldn't cry or laugh at this moment, "What are you talking about? Is this a scoundrel? What do you mean that you love me and have nothing to do with me?"
"Stay within a few miles of you...... He's saying, he's not going to go? β
This is the second time, the uncle stood on the stage, obviously there were many people, but in fact, it was just a song sung to Miss Xiang.
The first time, she was still ignorant and happy, but she couldn't actually experience too much. This time is different, this time Miss Xiang is eighteen years old, she has loved, she has been happy, she has been sad to let go, she has gritted her teeth and persevered, this time she can understand, that is Xu Tingsheng's heart.
Tears silently rolled down her face.
In the same lyrics, the other seniors in the audience who are about to graduate and are about to separate hear "refuse to leave".
People who are about to go their separate ways, what kind of mood is it to hear "I'd rather stay within a radius of you"?
What kind of mood does a couple who say they want to break up feel when they hear "my heart, if I don't return it, I'll send you back"?
Applause, low sobs, slowly rang out in all corners and in the crowd.
"I'd rather stay within a few miles of you
At least I can feel your joys and sorrows
I'll be there for you when you need me
I'm in a world you don't want
Why not find someone to replace you
It's a pity that I don't listen to anyone's advice
I'd rather stay within a few miles of you
My heart, if I don't return it, I'll send it to you. β
The second time, it's still that obsession, I want to stay within a few miles of you, feel your joys and sorrows, and be able to accompany you when you need me. The world without you, why bother, but there is no way, find someone to replace it......
The audience was already whimpering.
The song continues:
"Love it or not, I depend on you for everything
Because I love you and have nothing to do with you
My love spreads in a radius of several miles
Near, I can hear your breathing
As long as you turn around, I'm here. β
Xu Tingsheng finished singing the last paragraph, and just sat there silently.
Xiang Ning listened to every sentence in his heart......
She understands that he is saying to his Miss Xiang: I am not reluctant, it is all up to you, including whether you love me or not...... It's just that I'm still here, out of sight, but never far away...... What if one day, you change your mind...... As long as you turn around, I'm here.
Li Linlin reached out and hugged Xiang Ning's shoulder, because she was crying so much that she almost couldn't breathe.
Without the 'spotlight', Xu Tingsheng on the stage actually couldn't see Xiang Ning under the stage at this time, but in his blurred vision, he could find that her small body was trembling because of the 'sobbing' too violently.
At this moment, Xu Tingsheng wanted to go up and wipe away her tears, and then hugged her......
However, he can't.
So, inadvertently, another once familiar melody appeared in my mind.
Pluck the strings with your fingers......
The crying or silent crowd snapped back to their senses and listened intently...... The singing they thought was over.
"I want to 'touch' your hair,
It's just a simple temptation.
I want to give you a hug,
Is it okay to do the same as before?
Are you serious about taking a half-step back?
A small action can hurt so much.
I can only play a gentleman,
to be able to talk to you.
Can I send you home?
Maybe it's going to rain outside.
I can give you a hug,
Is it okay to be like a friend?"
In the chorus part of "Gentleman", Xu Tingsheng sang it directly and slowly.
When the graduates in the audience heard this, they thought of meeting again in a few years, and when they met again, the people who were once closest to them finally became strangers, so strange that even those simple intimacy, even if it was as small as a hug, or just wanted to reach out and help pull her hair behind her ear...... None of them can anymore.
They can only restrain their moods, pretend to be gentlemen, and say a few words plainly, and that is just a polite greeting.
The picture in Xiang Ning's mind is a different scene, a picture that Xiang Ning had not been aware of during the four weeks that Xu Tingsheng was in Yan Yi Middle School......
At this moment, she realized how many times Xu Tingsheng, who seemed calm on the surface and did not deliberately disturb and pay attention to herself, in those four weeks...... I want to reach out and 'touch' her hair, I want to hug her.
Therefore, how restrained he had to be, pretending to be a stranger to the teacher-student relationship, in order to say a word to her in class, and the only sentence was only: "Xiang Ning, you can answer this question." β
Xiang Ning was distressed.
***
Finally kicked out. Sorry for being late.
