Chapter 145: Piano Solo
Yu Wanwan stared at Pu Tong on the stage, her mood somewhat heavy……
Clearly, this guy was just an ordinary high school student, but whenever he started singing, he always had an indescribable air about him, whether in terms of immersion or professionalism, he made it seem effortless.
If she hadn't never heard of this person before, she would almost have thought Pu Tong had been a celebrity in the past.
She clenched her fists, feeling a lot of pressure……
She was the one who would sing this song later, after all, and if she didn't sing it well, wouldn't that be equivalent to ruining Pu Tong's reputation?
Whether for herself or for Pu Tong, she had to sing this song well!
Pu Tong clicked to stop the phone recording, then took the guitar off himself.
“This song is for Yu, right……” Han Nian coughed once, “Judging from the lyrics and melody, it is indeed more suitable for girls, so it should have been specially written for a girl, right?”
Only then did everyone recover from their shock and begin to mull over the teacher's words.
If it was suitable for a girl to sing, then it must have been planned that way from the moment it was created, and judging from the current situation, it could only have been written for Yu Wanwan.
They had watched the variety show a few days ago and weren't familiar with the classmates in this class, so they had gone along with the crowd and assumed Pu and Yu didn't get along……but now that they looked at it, the two were already as close as could be, so what right did anyone else have to gossip about them?
“I just wrote it randomly.” Pu Tong scratched his head, not intending to explain much.
The original singer of this song “Memories” was indeed a girl, so the overall style was also more suitable for a girl to sing. Yu Wanwan's stage performance would definitely be better than his own when the time came, right?
“We're running out of time, so let's stop here for today!” Han Nian clapped her hands, signaling that everyone could go home after school.
“Teacher, add me as a friend.” Pu Tong returned the phone to the teacher, “Send me this audio later.”
Han Nian readily agreed. She had been worrying about how to get Pu Tong's contact information, and hadn't expected him to ask first.
Pu Tong told her his account and planned to accept her request after he got home.
The first day's rehearsal ended, and the group left the auditorium, preparing to return to the classroom to pack their schoolbags……
“When we come to rehearse in the future, can we just bring our schoolbags with us?” Yi Zhi Xuenai frowned deeply. For her, making this trip back and forth was simply too exhausting.
“Of course, but there's a problem.” Lin Yuxi stretched lazily as she walked, probably a little tired from moving things: “The problem is, why are you carrying your schoolbag home, are you going to study?”
“Oh right, I don't study at all!”
Her words were like a wake-up call, she had absolutely no need to carry a schoolbag.
How could studying be such an inconvenient thing?
That was what she said, but the Japanese girl still followed them back to the classroom and tidied up a little.
At the very least, she had to take her homework home……
“Your song is really good.” Yu Wanwan packed her schoolbag, the melody of the song still lingering in her mind.
It wasn't only graduating students who would feel something from this song, at least for her, hearing it also made her very sad.
Just like graduation, after the filming of the show ended, Yu Wanwan and the others would also have to leave this place and say goodbye to this familiar place……
Actually, as celebrities, they had never been able to enjoy a truly peaceful and ordinary school life. It was only during this variety show that, in a sense, they had shed their halos and become real students.
Yu Wanwan was dazed for a moment, suddenly feeling a little reluctant to leave.
This period of time was worth remembering, and she also really liked this “Memories”, so she had to bring out all of her strength!
“Let's go, stop spacing out!” Pu Tong knocked on the desk, interrupting Yu Wanwan's daze, “Time to go home.”
“Oh.”
Yu Wanwan glanced at Pu Tong, her eyes filled with fighting spirit!
Because they had been rehearsing the program, they left school a little later than everyone else. By the time Pu Tong got home, his mom had already prepared dinner.
“Can parents go to your graduation gala?” Ni Hui served Pu Tong some rice, complaining gloomily: “I've watched two episodes with you guys on a video call, I'd be so bored without you!”
This episode of the program was live, and they would all be at school participating in the graduation gala, so Ni Hui could only watch the livestream alone at home.
“There'll probably be some senior parents……but why do you get to go?”
The graduation gala was mainly held for the graduating students. Besides all the third-year students being present, they should also invite some parent representatives.
Ni Hui sighed. She wasn't the parent of a graduating student, so who could she blame?
The two ate a few bites of rice when Ni Hui's eyes suddenly lit up, but just as she was about to speak, she choked.
“You're something else.” Pu Tong couldn't bear to watch his mom widen her eyes and pound her chest, so he quickly poured her a glass of water.
“Phew……” Ni Hui was choking so badly that tears were almost coming out, and she said excitedly while gasping for breath: “I, I thought of a great idea!”
She drank a few more sips of water before finally catching her breath completely.
“You're all participating in the graduation gala, so won't those three little stars' managers be free……why don't the four of us watch together on a video call?”
Pu Tong was stunned for a moment. An empty-nest parents' gathering to watch their kids? It actually sounded pretty plausible.
“You guys aren't familiar with each other at all, okay, you're not even from the same world.”
“Won't we get familiar as we chat?”
He could understand his mom doing something this unserious, but those managers were busy with work, so they definitely wouldn't have much time to do this with her.
After finishing dinner and returning to his room, Pu Tong finally noticed the message notification on his phone.
Yu Wanyan: [That Ling Ling replied to me, this afternoon.]
She then sent a screenshot, which was exactly the image of the problem explanation Ling Ling had sent her.
Other than that, the two had no other interaction.
Pu Tong: [This afternoon?]
Today was Tuesday, and there hadn't been any holidays recently. Being able to use a phone to take photos and answer questions at this time was simply too strange.
He had already suspected during the sports meet that this Ling Ling might not be a student, and now it seemed that possibility was being magnified infinitely.
Yu Wanwan's nerve was astonishingly thick-skinned. She directly sent the other person three questions in one go, and even asked whether they could exchange contact information to make discussing their studies more convenient.
Pu Tong: [You're way too direct……]
Right after sending the message, he thought about it again. Yu Wanwan had always been like this, never hiding her thoughts, always being straightforward.
Yu Wanwan: [Isn't that how Xie Mu got added? I'm calling this learning from successful experience, taking fewer detours!]
Come to think of it, that really was the case……
That guy Xie Mu had also chatted for a few sentences before adding her as a friend, and then began a “doomed relationship”.
However, Yu Wanwan's message once again sank like a stone into the sea, receiving no reply. This person called Ling Ling probably hadn't been in the habit of checking the study app recently.
He didn't know what to say either, and simply accepted the music teacher's friend request and sent the audio to Yu Wanwan.
He also didn't know how much she could practice in one night……As for the actual situation, they probably wouldn't know until rehearsal.
The next day, the auditorium had already been fully set up, and they officially began rehearsing.
Han Nian gathered everyone together: “This is our first rehearsal, so we'll just run through the program, no need to perform it in full.”
“Let's go one by one according to the program order, and the instruments needed should also be noted in advance.”
Han Nian took out the complete program list from the side, and everyone began going on stage one by one in order.
Anyone who dared to sign up for the school gala was certainly prepared, so naturally there were no cases of stage fright. The dancers went up and danced a few steps, the singers went up and sang a couple of lines softly, and everything went very quickly.
This was also the first time Pu Tong had seen the programs of the other celebrity students. Gan Hengxu and Tang Luocheng were both doing solo performances, while Chen Siqing performed a dance.
As agreed, Lin Yuxi performed the ethnic dance she was best at, while Yi Zhi Xuenai sang and danced an otaku-style dance, looking very cheerful.
Regarding this, the Japanese girl explained that singing and dancing could both easily lead to mistakes, so she chose to sing and dance at the same time. Wouldn't that make two negatives equal a positive?
Pu Tong could only praise her with one sentence: what a genius……
Soon it was Yu Wanwan's turn. She didn't go directly on stage, but instead walked over and talked to the teacher about something, during which she also pointed at the piano at the edge of the stage.
“Student Yu, are you planning to do a piano solo?” Han Nian frowned.
She also knew that although Yu Wanwan was the singer of this song, Pu Tong's song had only come into existence yesterday, and everyone had only heard it recently.
In such a short time, learning to sing it was easy, but adapting it into a piano-and-vocal performance would be difficult.
“I want to try!”
Yu Wanwan's expression was very serious. She secretly glanced at Pu Tong, her heart burning with enthusiasm.
Only by bringing out the efforts they had made together could she tell everyone that their relationship was very good, and had always been very good.
