Chapter 5: Rose Boy
After climbing some long stone steps, you will reach the square in front of the auditorium, and there is a fountain in the center, which makes the already artistic auditorium even more gorgeous.
This year's welcome party was very grand, and the billboards around the square had already been replaced with posters of the welcome party, and each team participating in the performance had an exclusive poster, which was very exquisite.
The poster of Bai Ye happened to be posted on the publicity board at the entrance of the auditorium, which happened to be Chen Xiaodi's favorite style.
It was a half-length photo, in the photo, Bai Ye was wearing a white turtleneck, gently closing his eyes, leaning on a tall tree, the soft sunlight fell gently on him through the gaps between the green leaves, and his handsome side face was like a prince who came out of a fairy tale, quiet and beautiful.
The words on the poster also seem to disturb the tranquility of this picture, only a simple sentence: The champion of the 39th Campus Singer Contest - Bai Ye.
"This poster is good, do you have the original picture?"
"What?"
"Make wallpaper."
"Okay, I'll send it to you."
Bai Ye readily agreed, with a good-looking smile on his face.
At this time, the entrance has not yet begun, and most of the students who have been waiting at the entrance of the auditorium are gathered in front of the billboard, and Bai Ye said that in addition to the report of the admission of new students in September, this is probably the most lively time in this square.
The actors had already arrived backstage to prepare, and Bai Ye, who was waiting at the door with Chen Xiaodi, stood very conspicuous in the crowd. Chen Xiaodi, not the kind of girl who is very amazing, but she is also very good-looking, plus she is slender and fair-skinned, she can be regarded as a beauty, if there is anything missing, it is height.
Now that the two are standing side by side, they are talented and beautiful, and they are naturally very eye-catching. Although it was not the first time that someone looked at her like this, Chen Xiaodi still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, you go and get ready, I'll go in by myself in a while."
"Anyway, I'm still early, so I'll stay with you for a while."
It was getting dark, and about a quarter of an hour later, the staff in charge of the order of the venue began to organize the teachers and students to enter, and Bai Ye sent Chen Xiaodi to the door before turning around and going backstage.
It's not half past seven, and there is still a while before the party starts, and the guests in the VIP seats have only arrived one after another, and the LED screen behind the stage is playing Moda's promotional video in a loop.
Chen Xiaodi looked around, this auditorium is very large, the audience has two floors, almost able to accommodate the teachers and students of the whole school, and the area where Chen Xiaodi is sitting at this time is on the first floor, just behind the guest seats in front of the stage.
Soon the auditorium was full, and at half past seven in the evening, the party officially began.
I have to say that this party is indeed a visual feast, each program is carefully designed, and it is even more exciting and dazzling to watch after the stage art.
While everyone was still immersed in the excitement of the previous show, the whole auditorium suddenly darkened, with no lights and no sound.
After being silent for a few seconds, I didn't see the host on the stage, and when everyone was confused, the LED screen behind the stage lit up and a small video was played.
I saw that the whole picture is black and white, and in the center of the picture there is a stone bench that can be seen everywhere on campus, and people come and go on both sides, all with bright smiles.
A few seconds later, a boy in a white shirt walked up to the bench with a schoolbag on his back and sat down, staring at the ground in a daze, looking a little lonely.
After a few more seconds, the whole picture changed perspectives, and the people who walked in front of the camera, some pointed at the camera, and some showed strange eyes, but no matter how you look at it, they are all with some disgust and malice.
Gradually, the picture began to blur, like a pair of eyes full of tears, lonely and helpless.
When the picture is clear again, the camera returns to the distance, the boy who was sitting on the bench is crying softly with his head down, and then the camera zooms in, and a crystal tear falls from the corner of the boy's eye, slowly falling on the back of his hand, and gently scattering in all directions.
Eventually, the picture was frozen on the splashed teardrop.
The video is not long, but it makes people feel heavy, and the depression that lasts from the beginning to the end makes these dozens of seconds extraordinarily long.
Once again, the auditorium fell into darkness, the previous enthusiasm fell silent, and everyone held their breath and watched the stage silently.
When the lights came on, a white high-legged square stool was placed in the middle of the stage, and Bai Ye, dressed in white, sat on the square bench, and his handsome side face did not show a smile, but was a little sad, like a boy in the video.
The snow was falling quietly on the screen, and the music was playing, which was very familiar to Chen Xiaodi, "Rose Boy".
At this moment, Chen Xiaodi suddenly felt that the tip of his nose was sour, as if there was something, and it would explode in the next second.
The melody is brisk, even a little noisy, but this song sounds a little sad.
The main song was relatively stable, Bai Ye just sat there quietly and sang, and when he came to the chorus, he walked to the front of the stage, his voice could have been sung into people's hearts, and his emotions at this moment affected everyone's hearts even more.
"Which rose has no thorns
The best revenge is beauty
The most beautiful bloom is the counterattack
Don't let anyone change you
It's you or you
There will be someone who will truly love you."
Tears fell gently at this moment, and even Chen Xiaodi herself didn't notice what this song meant to her, maybe no one except Bai Ye knew.
And what surprised those who were familiar with Bai Ye was that there was such a huge amount of energy in his thin body.
After all, in everyone's impression, he has always been an extremely quiet and gentle big boy with a warm smile, and this style of song is also the first time he sang it since he went to college.
At the end of the song, the auditorium fell silent again, and everyone seemed to be still immersed in the song of the white leaves, and only after a few seconds did they remember to applaud.
The applause lasted for a long time, and Chen Xiaodi didn't notice what the show was after that, she kept thinking about Bai Ye's performance just now.
At the end of the party, Bai Ye waited for Chen Xiaodi to come out by the fountain, and when people passed by him greeted him, he would respond with a smile, but his eyes were always paying attention to the direction of the auditorium.
At this time, it was past ten o'clock, Bai Ye accompanied Chen Xiaodi to the dormitory, left the square, and the surroundings slowly quieted down.
The lights on the side of the road were a little dim, but Bai Ye still saw that Chen Xiaodi's eyes were a little red, and he was a little panicked for a while.
"Looking at your red eyes, I'm a little unsure whether this is a surprise or a shock."
"Then you're thinking too much, I like this gift very much."
"yes, then I'm relieved."
"By the way, how did you come up with the idea of singing this song?"
"Well, it's really a coincidence."
"Serendipity?"
"yes."
Bai Ye said, smiling softly, his eyes seemed to reflect the starlight, which was particularly beautiful.
