Two days after the speech competition, the campus singer finals finally staged a peak showdown.

The song Xiaoru chose this time is Faye Wong's famous "Red Beans", which also has the meaning of expressing love with songs. As early as the day after the end of the semi-finals, she decided to sing this song, so the background music in our bedroom changed from the previous "I want to love you so much, this sentence can only be hidden as a secret" to "Sometimes, sometimes, I will believe that everything has an end" Liu Jia's wail also changed from letting Xiaoru hide the secret completely to "Hurry up and let this all come to an end!" ”

Watching this pair of living treasures sing and harmonize, Yu Han and I couldn't cry or laugh.

As a guest performer, Xu Zhekai is finally about to show his singing voice on the stage. After making a difficult choice among several songs, I finally decided to sing "The Story of Time".

As a person who has won the ranking before, Xu Zhekai doesn't need much preparation, and there is basically nothing to do if he simply follows the stage twice. Without the pressure of competition, Xu Zhekai was still busy with classes and meetings in the department every day, and sometimes we would be called by the volunteer training teachers to study some things.

Xiaoru was more or less nervous this time, after all, the atmosphere of the final was still different from the semi-finals. Jiang An accompanies her every day to practice songs, eat, and walk, and even pour the water herself, which must be lukewarm. Before and after the saddle, he was meticulous, he knew that it was the campus singer competition, and those who didn't know thought he was going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

Finally, it was the afternoon of the finals. 614 Sixian, Jiang An, Xu Zhekai, Li Ran and Li Ran's "fierce girlfriend" gathered backstage.

These people naturally met to help Xiaoru and Xu Zhekai prepare.

Although after breaking up with Li Ran, Yu Han has also met Li Ran on campus many times, and has also seen him with his new girlfriend, but it is the first time that he has had such a face-to-face close contact.

Yu Han said hello to Li Ran and his girlfriend generously, and when the two of them saw that Yu Han was so generous, there was naturally no need to twist, and besides, the two of them were not the kind of people who were entangled. Especially the girl, took the initiative to introduce herself: "Hello, I am Li Ran's girlfriend, my name is Zhen Meng." ”

I couldn't hold back all of a sudden, laughed quietly, and quickly cleared my throat to relieve the embarrassment. Xu Zhekai squeezed my hand tightly, his hand was a little shaky, and I knew that he was also holding back laughter, but I couldn't look at him, and we would both be ruined when I saw him, and it was always bad to laugh after the little girl introduced herself.

But Liu Jia, who had no heart and lungs, came directly: "Zhen Meng? Or Zhen Meng? It's an interesting name! ”

After Liu Jia finished speaking, I obviously felt that Xu Zhekai's hand was shaking even more when he pinched me.

I quickly changed the topic and asked everyone to divide and cooperate, Liu Jia and Yu Han stayed in the background to help Xiaoru dress up, and I accompanied Xu Zhekai, Jiang An and Li Ran They were responsible for organizing the cheerleading team in the audience.

The costume that Xiaoru prepared today was a light purple long skirt, which was still flowing and lovely. Liu Jia was applying all kinds of strange cosmetics to Xiaoru's face.

In terms of makeup, Liu Jia is an expert, and in her own words, she has inherited the genes of her makeup artist mother.

I'm really not good at it, and every day I just wear lotion and lipstick. But once he left lip prints on Xu Zhe's face and forgot to wipe them, Xu Zhekai was laughed at by Professor Liu from their department for a long time: "Xiao Xu, do you still wear blush?" ”

At lunch that day, Xu Zhekai imitated Professor Liu, who was over 60 years old, and told me about it, I couldn't stop laughing, Xu Zhekai was also happy, and I didn't wear lipstick much since that time, anyway, Xu Zhekai said that I was born beautiful, and the water came out of hibiscus. If he dares to say it, I will believe it.

Xu Zhekai is a big boy, naturally he doesn't need to be dressed up so carefully, he is handsome and good-looking.

He wore a simple white T-shirt today, light blue straight-leg jeans, white sneakers, and his hair was pulled up a bit. The whole person looks very refreshing, and the sense of youth is even more sufficient.

Coincidentally, I was dressed like this today, except in a black T-shirt.

Yu Han smiled and commented on whether the two of us were "black and white", or Xiaoru's sweet mouth and straightforward match.

After working for a long time, there were more people one after another, and the backstage began to become a little crowded. Xu Zhekai took my hand and walked out of the passage leading to the side door of the art building backstage, the air outside was much better than inside, but he was afraid that the staff would not find anyone, so he opened his voice a few times, and we turned back.

Standing on the side of the stage and looking at the audience, there were a lot more people than during the rematch, and when they came a little later, there were no seats, so they could only sit on the steps of the aisle.

There were a total of ten people who entered the finals, and the audience was also full of cheering groups of these ten people, not to mention the posters, light signs, light sticks, ...... There are all kinds of refueling tools, and there are two groups that I don't know which department is singing over there, I guess it's a freshman, this is the sequelae of last semester's military training, and it's not thorough.

Half an hour before the game, Xiao Ru and they drew lots to determine the order of appearance, this time Xiao Ru failed to draw the lucky number as she wished, but the number six is not bad.

Xu Zhekai is not the only guest performer, there are five of them, three girls and two boys, one of which is a male and female duet, and the rest are soloists, which means that Xu Zhekai is the only male guest who sings solo. He was scheduled to sing after the last contestant performed.

At seven o'clock, the finals of this year's campus singer competition finally began.

An opening dance brought the already enthusiastic scene to a new climax.

After an opening remark by the host, the No. 1 contestant, He Xin, a star figure in the Chinese department, appeared. He Xin is a junior this year, is a famous talented girl in the Chinese department, and her appearance is not particularly amazing, but her temperament is super good, and the so-called "belly has poetry and book qi" is probably like this.

Because she often goes to Beijing local TV stations to record some cultural programs, she is also quite famous in our school. In addition to being professional, she is also versatile, and she is also very versatile, such as guzheng and singing.

A star is a star, as soon as He Xin appeared, countless boys began to scream below. She smiled shyly and began to sing to the music. She chose Teresa Teng's "On the Water Side" today, which is quite consistent with her temperament.

At the end of the song, the applause was thunderous. Xu Zhekai next to me also couldn't stop applauding.

"Do you like it?" I quipped.

"It's good, it's too soft, I still like Iron Woman like you." Xu Zhekai responded with a smile.

"The mouth is so good!" I say.

The contestants sang one after another, and it was obvious that everyone had prepared more carefully than in the rematch, and one of them even brought two backup dancers by himself, which can be regarded as a fight.

After the fifth contestant finished singing, the pair of male and female duet performers came on stage to sing a song "Crystal". Watching the two of them flirt with each other on stage, I couldn't help but think, college is so good, if this is in high school, let alone singing this kind of duet love song, it will be rejected directly when you sign up.

Finally, our little Ru baby is going to take the stage! Xu Zhekai and I hurried over to Xiaoru's side to cheer her on, Liu Jia was holding a tube of lip gloss to add color to her mouth, Yu Han pinched her shoulders and arms, and the formation was particularly like Mei Jiaoniang was going to play boxing.

Xu Zhekai exclaimed: "Are the people in your bedroom so exaggerated? ”

"You just found out!" I laughed.

Xu Zhekai didn't speak, and silently stretched out a thumbs up.

Xiaoru dragged her long skirt and walked elegantly to the center of the stage to stand still, I looked at her ladylike state, and then thought about her usual crazy appearance, and once again silently praised the banner hanging behind the door of our dormitory accurately "quiet as a fool, moving like a mad rabbit".

The familiar prelude sounded, and many artificial bubbles fell on the stage, and Xiaoru spoke in such a romantic atmosphere.

“...... I haven't held hands with you, walked through the barren sand dunes, maybe from now on I have learned to cherish the heavens and the earth, sometimes, sometimes, I will believe that everything has an end, get together and leave, sometimes, nothing will be immortal. But sometimes, I would rather choose to be nostalgic and not let go, and wait until the scenery is seen through, maybe you will accompany me to watch the long stream......"

The songs selected by Xiaoru, whether it was the last one or this time, made me feel very touched. If what is conveyed in "I Want to Love You Well" is the regret of "I can't ask for it, and I can't think about it", then this song "Red Bean" is the firmness of "holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son".

In that time and space, when I was in school, I liked this song "Red Bean" very much. At first, I was young and intoxicated by her melody, but later I got older, especially with that love that started vigorously and ended hastily, I can better understand the melancholy and firmness of the hundreds of turns.

In another time and space, when I go to sing with Xu Zhekai, I often sing to him, he likes the phrase "When the scenery is seen through, maybe you will accompany me to see the long stream", he said that this sentence has a subtle feeling of lifelong love.

I turned my head and looked at Xu Zhekai, who was in his twenties next to me, imagining what he looked like when he was thirty years old, imagining what he would be doing at this moment, and whether he had met the person who could accompany him to see the scenery of the world and live a long life.

Xu Zhekai felt that I was looking at him, and also shifted his gaze to my face, his expression changed from a smile to a little hesitant, and he leaned into my ear and asked, "What's wrong, Yiyi?" With such a serious expression? ”

"It's nothing, Xiaoru sang so well, I was brought in again, a little sad." I shook my head.

"I don't think it's better to let her participate in the competition in the future, sing once you are sad once, it's too emotional." Xu Zhekai was joking half-truthfully.

I twisted his arm and continued to listen to Xiaoru sing.

As the soothing music slowly disappeared, Xiaoru's singing ended, she did not rush off the stage, but said a word unhurriedly, and the people in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then cheered and applauded enthusiastically. She said:

"Jiang An, let me accompany you for a long time."

I looked at Jiang An from the side of the curtain, he didn't know when he had stood up, smiling in the direction of Xiaoru, his eyes were full of tenderness.

I know, in April, the seniors have been defending one after another, and they will leave school in about two months. Several senior sisters that Xiao Ru knew had recently broken up, and Xiao Ru came back to tell us about it. Although she has always been full of confidence in her relationship with Jiang An, I can feel her apprehension when she says clearly what will happen in the future. Therefore, her confession on stage today is to cheer for Jiang An, for herself, and for their love.

I want to tell her that in another time and space, you will go down very happily, see the scenery of the world, become each other's scenery, your love has been flowing for a long time, don't worry, dear Xiaoru!
