Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 763 Can't tell, really can't tell

The song "The Sky Has No Limits" was already a signature song of the Sheng Sheng Bu Xi band long before Yuan Wanqing brought it to the stage of the "Singer" program, and it was performed many times at the New Year's Eve party of the No. 1 High School.

The first song they've played so far is "The Sky Has No Limits," partly to serve as the band's signature song and to make a strong start.

On the other hand, it was also to get Shao Youpeng and Xie Shuchen into the zone as soon as possible.

Although they had already performed in front of a thousand-person audience at the First Affiliated High School, the current music festival not only had students from Qian Da University, but also many students from other prestigious schools who came to watch.

This feels quite different.

So when "The Sky Has No Limits," a song that was extremely familiar to all the band members, came on, Xie Shuchen and Shao Youpeng instantly got into the zone.

The stunning climax following Yan Zhusheng's entry into the chorus brought the nighttime atmosphere of the music festival to a fever pitch.

The audience watching Yan Zhusheng's performance felt that their trip was worthwhile.

But just as the song "The Sky Has No Limits" was coming to a close, Ying Chanxi had just arrived at the edge of the audience outside the stage with Qiao Xinyan.

"Hey, Xixi, why are you so late?"

Just as Ying Chanxi was about to squeeze into the crowd, she heard a familiar voice.

Turning his head, he saw it was his roommate, Jiang Lai.

However, Jiang Lai was not alone at this time; there was a boy with her.

Seeing the two holding hands so intimately, Ying Chanxi immediately realized, "Jiang Lai? You're here too."

“Yes.” Jiang Lai smiled and raised the hand she was holding with the boy, greeted the two of them, turned to introduce them to her boyfriend, and then walked over to Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan.

When Jiang Lai's boyfriend heard that Ying Chanxi's boyfriend was performing on stage, he volunteered to lead the group through the crowd and clear a path for them.

Ying Chanxi repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

Fortunately, the crowds here weren't too dense, and the journey was very smooth.

Just as I squeezed into the middle, another voice suddenly rang out.

"Ying Chanxi?" Cheng Xin's hesitant voice rang out.

Ying Chanxi turned her head and saw Cheng Xin and Wen Zexuan. She immediately remembered that they were Li Luo's two roommates, so she quickly greeted them politely: "Hello, it's been a long time."

"Are we going to the front?" Wen Zexuan glanced at the boy walking in front of Jiang Lai, then said nothing more, simply saying, "Cheng Xin and I will take you to the front."

After saying that, the two boys also began to exert their strength, and soon escorted the three girls to the edge of the stage.

However, because of the boy next to Jiang Lai, Wen Zexuan and Cheng Xin did not stay long. After dropping her off, they said goodbye and left.

At this point, the second song by the Sheng Sheng Bu Xi band had reached its climax.

Cheng Xin followed Wen Zexuan to another spot and stopped. After enjoying the song, he couldn't help but ask, "Ying Chanxi came to the music festival, so do you think Senior Xu will come too?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Wen Zexuan rolled his eyes. "When your boyfriend is performing on stage, and it's the weekend, his girlfriend is bound to come. But with so many people here, we probably won't run into each other. There's nothing to worry about."

“But…” Cheng Xin reminded him, “What if Ying Chanxi and Senior Sister Xu both go backstage to find Brother Luo after the performance?”

“That is a problem…” Wen Zexuan twitched the corner of his mouth, but then his curiosity was piqued, and he couldn’t help but whisper to Cheng Xin, “According to what you’re saying, maybe we can find out who the mistress is today.”

"Think about it, if Luo is two-timing, and neither of the girls knows about the other, would he dare let both of them come to watch his performance?"

"Aren't you afraid that if the two girls bump into each other backstage, the whole thing will be exposed?"

"So?" Cheng Xin asked, puzzled.

“So there must be someone who knows that Li Luo has a girlfriend!” Wen Zexuan guessed loudly. “Even if both girls are backstage, the one who is the other woman will naturally pretend to be just a good friend of Li Luo, while only the real girlfriend would dare to openly show her relationship with Li Luo.”

"If we go backstage later, we might be able to find out whether it's Senior Xu or Ying Chanxi who's the mistress."

After hearing his analysis, Cheng Xin immediately felt that it made a lot of sense, and her gossipy soul was inexplicably ignited: "Then who do you think is the mistress? I feel that Senior Xu is more like it."

"Why do you think that?" Wen Zexuan asked curiously.

"Um... just looking at their appearance, style, and personality, right?" Cheng Xin muttered to himself, "That's the kind of feeling they give off."

"Then maybe it's Ying Chanxi?" Wen Zexuan guessed, stroking his chin. "Back then, Senior Xu openly announced their relationship to his face, and she didn't seem guilty at all."

“What you said makes sense,” Cheng Xin said, scratching his head.

"Don't worry about it, we'll find out soon enough." Wen Zexuan waved his hand, already impatient, rubbing his hands together like a fly, almost forgetting his plans to hunt for women today.

Just as the two finished discussing this topic, a beautiful figure suddenly ran onto the stage.

Cheng Xin looked closely and immediately reached out and exclaimed, "Isn't that Senior Xu?!"

Wen Zexuan looked up at the stage and saw Xu Youyu carrying a bouquet of flowers. She ran up to the stage, stood in front of Li Luo, and handed him the flowers with a smile.

Li Luo was still playing the guitar when he put it down, took the flowers, and smiled as he watched Xu Youyu leave the stage. He then put the flowers aside.

There's no way around it; he's not a singer, and you need both hands to play the guitar.

Meanwhile, Wen Zexuan, who was in the audience, saw Xu Youyu come off the stage and called to Cheng Xin, and they squeezed over to Xu Youyu.

Soon, the two of them successfully met with Xu Youyu.

"Senior Sister Xu," Wen Zexuan greeted her with a smile.

"Oh? It's you guys." Xu Youyu returned to her roommate Zhao Letian's side and smiled as she saw them approaching. "What a coincidence."

"What a coincidence! We only came over to say hello because we saw our senior go on stage to present flowers," Wen Zexuan said.

"No wonder." Xu Youyu smiled and continued, "Then let's watch it together."

Wen Zexuan had this plan all along. As long as he stayed by Xu Youyu's side, he would naturally be able to witness Li Luo's chaotic scene as soon as it ended.

So the four of them huddled together and continued watching Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng's performance on stage.

After each song, the four of them would chat for a short while during the break.

"By the way, does Cheng Xin still not have a girlfriend?" Xu Youyu asked Cheng Xin with a smile.

"Yes, yes..." Cheng Xin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Why did you suddenly ask this, senior?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that our Letian doesn't have a boyfriend yet either," Xu Youyu said with a smile, putting her arm around Zhao Letian's shoulder. "It's a pity you're not her type. She prefers guys who are fit."

"Youyu, don't talk nonsense," Zhao Letian said, displeased. "When did I ever like bodybuilders?" "Then open TikTok and take a look?"

Zhao Letian: "...You talk too much."

"It's alright, it's alright." Wen Zexuan patted Cheng Xin's shoulder with a smile. "Senior Zhao looks like the athletic type of beauty. Our Cheng Xin is afraid of that type of girl and prefers the cute, petite, and adorable type."

"That's really unfortunate," Xu Youyu laughed.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xin immediately became angry: "Don't talk nonsense, okay? When did I..."

"Shut up." Wen Zexuan rolled his eyes at him. "If you're so capable, open your phone's photo album and take a look."

Cheng Xin: "..."

The four of them had a fairly pleasant chat, but unfortunately, Cheng Xin and Zhao Letian were not compatible with each other, so Xu Youyu and Wen Zexuan did not try to force a relationship between them.

However, just as Yan Zhusheng finished singing another song, someone came up on stage from the side to present her with flowers.

This time it was a boy who went straight to Yan Zhusheng and presented her with the flowers he was holding.

Instead of immediately accepting Yan Zhusheng's gift, he turned to look at Li Luo.

After Li Luo gave her a very subtle nod, Yan Zhusheng politely accepted the gift and thanked him.

At this point, another song's worth of time had passed.

During the event, many people went on stage to present flowers. Whether it was Xie Shuchen, Shao Youpeng, or Niu Qingling who was sitting in the back playing the drums, they all received flowers.

Xie Shuchen was a gift from her girlfriend, who was a senior in high school.

As for Shao Youpeng and Niu Qingling, they were gifts from their friends, which was considered a generous gesture and not too stingy.

But just as it was approaching eight o'clock, and the Sheng Sheng Bu Xi band was about to perform their last song of the night, another beautiful figure walked up from the audience.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the girl, holding flowers in her hands and blushing, approached Li Luo and presented him with the flowers.

But that wasn't all. She quickly went to Yan Zhusheng and stuffed another bouquet of flowers into Yan Zhusheng's arms.

Upon seeing this scene, Wen Zexuan and Cheng Xin exchanged a glance, and then looked at Xu Youyu beside them in perfect unison.

"Who was that again..." Zhao Letian asked hesitantly. Because she was close to the stage, she could see him fairly clearly. She felt that Ying Chanxi looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

“Well, you saw her when school started,” Xu Youyu reminded her. “You and Xiuying were volunteering at the time, and she came to register with us.”

"Oh right," Zhao Letian recalled, "you two seem to have a very good relationship?"

"Of course!" Xu Youyu said with a smile. "When I was in high school, I rented a place outside the school and shared it with a few of them."

"Huh?" Cheng Xin was shocked when he heard this, almost thinking he had misheard. "You were already living together in high school?"

“Yes.” Xu Youyu glanced at Li Luo’s two roommates with a smile, and continued, “Including Zhusheng, the four of us have always lived together and have a very good relationship.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Zexuan fell into a long silence: "...I remember Li Luo saying that you two seemed to have gone to the same high school."

"Yes." Xu Youyu nodded and said, "The No. 1 High School next door is our alma mater, it's just a few steps away."

“When they first entered high school, I was the student council president. Later, the position was handed over to Xixi.”

"Zhu Sheng was a member of our school's rock club back then, and later became the president. The five people on stage were the complete band from the original rock club."

As Xu Youyu shared these past events, Wen Zexuan and Cheng Xin exchanged a glance, remaining silent for a long time, increasingly admiring their brother Luo's abilities.

While living under the same roof and dating Xu Youyu, she was also able to have a secret affair with Ying Chanxi.

How awesome.

Wen Zexuan couldn't help but sigh and whispered his guess to Cheng Xin.

"Why is Ying Chanxi's relationship considered a secret affair?" Cheng Xin asked, puzzled.

"You don't understand," Wen Zexuan chuckled. "When Senior Xu went up on stage to give flowers just now, did you see that she gave them directly to Li Luo and not to anyone else?"

"But Ying Chanxi sent two bouquets of flowers. He not only sent one to Li Luo, but also sent one to Yan Zhusheng as a guilty conscience."

"If she really is Li Luo's official girlfriend, why does she have to bring a bouquet of flowers for Yan Zhusheng as well? She could just give them to her boyfriend directly, wouldn't that be better?"

Upon hearing this conclusion, Cheng Xin nodded in agreement: "What you're saying does make a lot of sense."

So when Ying Chanxi came down from the stage with a slightly flushed face, little did she know that she had already been labeled as Li Luo's secret lover by his roommate.

Not long after Ying Chanxi stepped down, the Sheng Sheng Bu Xi band's last song came to an end.

Li Luo led the others in bowing to the audience to express their gratitude. After some interaction and banter with the host, they waved goodbye to the audience.

Soon, the next band will be ready to take the stage.

But most of the audience had already left.

After all, most people came to see Yan Zhusheng, and now that her performance is over, they are naturally preparing to leave.

However, thanks to the popularity and enthusiastic atmosphere built up by the Sheng Sheng Bu Xi band's performance over the course of an hour, the number of audience members remaining around the stage was far greater than at previous music festivals.

"Senior Xu, shall we go backstage to see Li Luo and the others?" Wen Zexuan looked at Xu Youyu with great anticipation, eager to confirm his guess.

But Xu Youyu didn't intend to give him that chance. She smiled and shook her head, then took Zhao Letian's arm and said, "I won't go. I have things to do when I get home tonight, so I'll leave first."

"Huh?" Xu Youyu's move immediately stunned Wen Zexuan. "Aren't we going to celebrate?"

"When he gets back tonight, I'll naturally give him a proper celebration on his own." Xu Youyu smiled and waved to the two of them. "He's probably making a big fuss over there right now, so I won't join in the fun."

As Wen Zexuan watched Xu Youyu's departing figure, his initial guess began to waver.

"Brother Xuan, do you think... Senior Xu is afraid to go backstage to see Li Luo because she's afraid of running into Ying Chanxi?" Cheng Xin muttered softly. "Could it be that Ying Chanxi is the real girlfriend?"

Wen Zexuan remained silent, never expecting that he too could make a mistake.

After Xu Youyu's actions, he really couldn't tell the difference.

However, he couldn't care less about that now. Seeing that Ying Chanxi was also taking his roommates backstage to find Li Luo, Wen Zexuan immediately waved to Cheng Xin to follow: "Come on, let's go see Brother Luo too."
