Chapter 285: Wanting to Share Heartfelt Words (Part 2)

Zhao Qingfeng, driven by desire, attempted to make his move.

At the same time, the two suddenly heard a burst of intense drumming not far from the riverside.

Following that, shouts from many students came from all directions.

“Look, Li Manrou is singing!”

“Is this a prelude to the Mid-Autumn Festival gala? They even hired a band!”

“Wow, goddess!”

“It sounds so good, I didn’t expect her voice to be so beautiful!”

Li Manrou had also signed up for the Mid-Autumn Festival gala.

The only reason was to become a hexagonal goddess and to outshine Shen Lingyao in all aspects.

With a handsome look and a bit of money, hiring a band for a warm-up in the campus wasn’t a problem.

Shen Lingyao, puffing her cheeks and stomping her feet, wasn’t without temper, “No matter what, she always compares herself to me, I have to beat her!”

Winning, winning, isn’t winning enough?

Zhao Qingfeng, holding Shen Lingyao’s hand, walked out from the riverside to the road.

At this moment.

Li Manrou, accompanied by a professional band, was singing her first song.

Activities in a university campus are always rich, and singing isn’t considered strange.

Surrounded by at least a few hundred students, everyone listened quietly.

Li Manrou sang “Meteor Shower,” the most popular song of 2001.

With her long hair flowing over her shoulders and dressed brightly, she immediately drew more enthusiastic applause from the students as soon as she began singing.

“Beautiful!”

“Beautiful girl, sweet song, it looks like the Mid-Autumn Festival gala’s champion is none but you!”

“Manrou student, sing two more songs, I want to record your live performance and share it on the friends circle. I recently joined a university student group in Beijing, I believe you can definitely become famous!”

The use of friends circles is becoming more common, thanks to the real-name system, especially popular among university students.

Li Manrou sang three songs in total, each extremely popular.

After finishing the last song, she waved to everyone, saying sweetly, “Dear students, there’s one more song reserved, which I will perform at the Mid-Autumn Festival gala in a few days. I hope you all will support me with your votes. In the future, I’ll also share more singing videos I’ve recorded myself on our school’s friends circle platform. Thank you, everyone!”

Oh.

She’s even got the material to be a live broadcaster, already learning to increase popularity through videos?

Li Manrou quickly noticed Shen Lingyao.

Not because she had particularly good eyesight, but because Shen Lingyao’s appearance always attracted the male students’ gaze.

Everyone wanted to take another look at her, and while doing so, they cast envious glances at Zhao Qingfeng, cursing him for his luck.

“Yaoyao!”

The two were classmates, and Li Manrou greeted her warmly, seemingly forgetting the embarrassing incident of spending twenty thousand on a meal, “I heard you’ve prepared a program for the Mid-Autumn Festival too, what is it? Do you want to perform it for everyone in advance?”

With a bit of ulterior motive, knowing that after performing once, the audience might lose some interest.

Shen Lingyao didn’t know the lyrics yet and shook her head, “I haven’t decided yet, it’s an original song.”

Li Manrou was startled, “Original? Ha ha! Really? You can create?”

Before Shen Lingyao could reply, Zhao Qingfeng shouted from the side, “That’s right, it’s original, a song personally written by our Yaoyao. You two are classmates, you must know she’s especially good at the piano, right?”

Li Manrou nodded lightly, “I know Yaoyao plays the piano, but that’s different from creating…”

Indeed, it was.

Writing a song is not easy, which is one of the reasons why Zhao Qingfeng insisted on not plagiarizing others’ music.

Even the popular songs from the 80s in Hong City, most were translations of songs by Miho Nakayama from Japan.

But still, Zhao Qingfeng wouldn’t plagiarize, though he could make full use of them.

Coincidentally, the music teacher passed by and became curious when he heard about the original song, “Miss Shen, can you tell me the lyrics and melody direction? Maybe I can offer some advice!”

People who love music can’t help but support a fellow enthusiast.

Shen Lingyao didn’t even know the lyrics, “Teacher, actually, I haven’t thought of the lyrics yet…”

With that said.

It immediately led to a burst of laughter.
