After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 207 Who exactly is this boy?

"Damn it, we're finally out!"

Shortly after Xu Lin came off the stage, he left the sports center with Ning Yuhan.

He pulled Ning Yuhan along, and they arrived at the electric vehicle parking area.

Ning Yuhan remained quiet throughout the journey.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Lin asked her a question out of curiosity.

"I was thinking about the song you just sang."

Ning Yuhan opened her phone's photo album and saw a video that was over four minutes long.

"I even filmed the whole thing for you!"

"Hmm, not bad, let me see!"

Xu Lin was somewhat interested, and then Ning Yuhan opened the video.

"Honey, you sang so well!"

"That's called consistent performance!"

Xu Lin only glanced at it briefly, but to be honest, he felt a little embarrassed watching himself sing, even though he looked very handsome in the video and Ning Yuhan filmed it very well.

"Honey, you're so amazing!"

Ning Yuhan smiled sweetly.

No matter how outstanding I am, I am still me.

Xu Lin patted her little head. "Let's go, let's find a place to eat, and then go home to sleep."

For Xu Lin, performing at Xue Zhiqian's concert was just a minor incident. Given what he had been through, tonight's events were nothing to worry about, so Xu Lin didn't take them to heart and just went about his business.

But.

Xu Lin didn't care, but there would always be someone else who did.

The two left the sports center a little after 10 p.m., had dinner, and returned home at 11:30 p.m.

Xu Lin doesn't usually check his phone when he's out; he only uses it when he's bored.

When Xu Lin got home, he turned on his phone and saw messages from several people.

News of Xie Zhengrong and Hu Donghai in the dormitory, as well as several other people in the class.

Fortunately, Xu Lin didn't have many friends on WeChat, otherwise the news would have gone viral, because he had even more people sending messages on QQ, including his high school classmates.

Why are you all messaging me?

Xu Lin clicked on Xie Zhengrong's message and found that he was trending on social media tonight because he sang at Xue Zhiqian's concert and his performance was amazing.

As a result, it became the number one trending topic.

It even topped the trending searches on both Weibo and Douyin.

Those who knew Xu Lin were surprised, even shocked.

This isn't the first time Xu Lin has trended on social media, even if it's at number one.

But those were all trending topics about "Mr. Xu", and had nothing to do with "Xu Lin".

Xu Lin glanced at Xie Zhengrong's message, replied with an "ok" emoji, and then logged out.

Xu Lin ignored the other students in the class.

Damn it, everyone's sending messages, are they just messing around? Xu Lin naturally didn't have time to pay attention to them all.

Xu Lin also had to serve other people.

First, there's Rong Xiyan, whose message conveyed a rather angry tone.

"Xu Lin, you're finished! You secretly went to the concert with Ning Yuhan without telling me. Now the whole world knows that Ning Yuhan is your girlfriend!"

There were several more messages following.

"Don't worry, it's just a concert. I'll take you next time."

"That's not the point!"

Rong Xiyan replied instantly: "The important thing is that it's practically an official announcement that I'm with Ning Yuhan now!"

"It's nothing, I'm just an ordinary person, not a celebrity."

Xu Lin also sent a nose-picking emoji.

Rong Xiyan didn't reply to him, but instead sent a message to Xia Xiyao: "Yaoyao, I'm so annoyed. Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan went to a concert and it's trending on social media. Now the whole world knows that he and Ning Yuhan are a couple..."

Xia Xiyao: "He probably didn't do it on purpose."

"Even if it wasn't intentional, it's been exposed now."

Rong Xiyan was quite annoyed tonight. Actually, Ning Yuhan was usually very low-key, and Rong Xiyan didn't want to pay attention to her. She could just pretend that Ning Yuhan didn't exist. But now she had caused a big stir, and both Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan were trending on social media.

There are several trending topics about Xu Lin right now.

The two most important ones, in particular.

Article 1: The male performer who was an amazing performer at Xue Zhiqian's concert.

Article 2: The most attractive couple at Xue Zhiqian's concert.

The former refers to Xu Lin's amazing performances in singing and playing guitar.

The latter is Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan, a couple with top-tier looks, hence the term "divine beauty".

Rong Xiyan couldn't help but think that it would have been better if she and Xu Lin had gone. At that moment, she was the one trending on social media. She was the female lead in the "Godly Couple" drama. But Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan went instead.

Moreover, Xu Lin has been spending most of his time with Ning Yuhan lately.

Thinking of this, Rong Xiyan couldn't help but feel wronged.

Meanwhile, Xia Xiyao also sent Xu Lin a lot of messages.

To be honest, although Xia Xiyao has now had a relationship with Xu Lin, her attitude towards him is still the same as before they had a relationship. Xia Xiyao has absolutely no intention of taking his place, at least not now.

The message Xia Xiyao sent to Xu Lin also became a trending topic.

Xia Xiyao only said that Xu Lin sang very well, and then asked Xu Lin how he felt. That was all.

Xia Xiyao is very sensible.

At least for now.

Xu Lin chatted with her for a while.

Then, Xu Lin opened Ms. Ren's messages.

My mom is a seasoned internet surfer, and she accidentally discovered that Xu Lin was trending on social media tonight.

Since she already knew how capable her son was, Ms. Ren remained relatively calm.

That wasn't her main focus; it was Ning Yuhan.

When Ms. Ren visited the University of Finance and Economics last year, she toured the campus and was mistaken for a teacher by many students, including Ning Yuhan.

This girl, with her striking good looks, beautiful eyes, and gentle demeanor, immediately captivated Ms. Ren.

Ms. Ren felt that this girl must be a very nice girl.

At the time, she thought to herself, "How wonderful it would be if my daughter-in-law were her."

But I only thought about it at the time and have long forgotten about it since.

When Ning Yuhan appeared, Ms. Ren recognized the girl immediately.

Ouch?

Is she his son's girlfriend?
My mom's first reaction was actually surprise.

"Is this girl your girlfriend?"

"Correct."

Xu Lin replied to the other party.

A few seconds later, my mom messaged me: "Do you have her WeChat? Mom wants to chat with her."

"Don't scare them, let's talk about it later."

"I just want to talk."

"That won't work either, we'll talk about it later."

Xu Lin didn't want to continue the conversation, so he replied, "It's too late, I have to go now." Then Xu Lin simply disappeared, and he didn't reply to his mother's messages.

"This brat!"

……

"Senior, what are you doing?"

On the sofa, Ning Yuhan was also replying to messages.

Xu Lin leaned closer.

"look."

Ning Yuhan held her phone screen up to Xu Lin.

It turned out to be Ning Yuhan's class group chat. A group of classmates were tagging her. Of course, since she was the head of the organization department, there were also people from the student union tagging her, as well as Liu Yuqing and her two roommates.

These are mainly the three groups.

Ning Yuhan trended on social media tonight, and she and Xu Lin were dubbed a "god-like couple" by netizens.

The two are indeed very good-looking, just like the male and female protagonists in a novel, and they are incomparable to any other passersby.

Needless to say, Liu Yuqing and the others all lived in the same dormitory, so it would be strange if they didn't recognize Ning Yuhan.

Others, like members of the student council, recognized Ning Yuhan because of her highly recognizable appearance, but they weren't sure yet, so they asked Ning Yuhan in the group chat what was going on.

Ning Yuhan was not like Xu Lin in this regard; if it were Xu Lin, he wouldn't have paid any attention to these people.

Ning Yuhan simply replied with a few words.

"Honey, a lot of people in the group say you're amazing!"

Ning Yuhan asked Xu Lin to check the message, while she took charge of skating.

In fact, to many people who know Ning Yuhan, Xu Lin doesn't seem to have anything outstanding besides being handsome. He only gave a speech at last year's freshman orientation ceremony.

After that, Xu Lin disappeared without a trace.

People thought that Xu Lin was just an ordinary rich and handsome guy.

By the way, he's a tall, rich, and handsome guy who drives a Panamera, so people assume that Xu Lin is just a rich second-generation heir who relies on his family.

So, besides being tall, handsome, and rich, what else does Xu Lin have?
Fortunately, Xu Lin was too low-key, so others thought he was just so-so.

But tonight, as Xu Lin trended on social media, people discovered that Xu Lin wasn't the person they had assumed he was.

It turns out that he was able to compete on the same stage as the big star Xue Zhiqian. He seems to have amazing guitar skills, and his singing is just as good as Xue Zhiqian's. In fact, it gives people the feeling that Xue Zhiqian is even more amazing!

In the video, Xu Lin stands on the stage, facing 20,000 people, yet he shows no stage fright whatsoever. His composure and superb skills make him appear like a top superstar, delivering a spectacular performance for the audience.

Those who knew Ning Yuhan were surprised. Many of them had previously thought that Ning Yuhan only followed Xu Lin, a rich second-generation heir who drove a Panamera, because she liked money.

Now, everyone suddenly realizes that Xu Lin seems to be exceptionally outstanding?

Therefore, Ning Yuhan felt very happy and proud to see people praising Xu Lin.

Only Ning Yuhan, the person involved, could understand this feeling. Even Xu Lin, seeing her happy expression, could not fully comprehend it.

Xu Lin's threshold was too high; this praise meant nothing to him, but to Ning Yuhan, it was of extraordinary significance.

Of course, this is in contrast to the tranquility here in Xu Lin.

The internet is far from peaceful.

Xue Zhiqian's concert ended a little after 11 p.m.

The last song of his concert was titled "After Dawn," with lyrics and music by Xu Lin, and it was the grand finale of the concert.

And in the end, it successfully amazed the entire concert.

After the concert ended at midnight, Xue Zhiqian's team immediately uploaded the song and music video to music platforms. At the same time, they also released the live version of the concert on Douyin. At the same time, a live video of him and Xu Lin singing "Accident" together was also updated on Douyin.

Soon, the song began to sweep across the entire internet.

Their other duet, "Accident," is also very popular.

Strictly speaking, many people believe that the mysterious young man in the video sings better than the original singer, Xue Zhiqian. His voice, singing skills, stage presence, and overall performance seem to be better than Xue Zhiqian's. Even his guitar skills seem impressive.

Of course, this is something.

Netizens are just here to gossip, and they're all very curious. There are many highlights tonight's Xue Zhiqian concert, especially the unexpected appearance of Xu Lin.

Does anyone know this guy's name? Where is he from?

"His appearance and height are so well-rounded, is he really just an ordinary person?"

"There really isn't such a person in the entertainment industry. I have to say, this guy is really too good. His voice, singing skills, stage presence, and guitar skills—even Lao Xue can't compare to him in these four aspects!"

"We've suffered in the Chinese entertainment industry for too long. If this young man debuts, I can't even imagine how well he'll live. With his looks and overall appearance, no one in the Chinese entertainment industry can compare, right?"

"Don't worry, he's trending at number one right now. With such a huge buzz, I reckon this guy will be starting a live stream soon. Just follow him, everyone. I don't believe he won't start a live stream or open an account. Once he becomes famous, the money will come pouring in. Who can resist that?"

Why does this young man's voice sound so familiar? It's like I've heard it somewhere before.

Amidst countless discussions among netizens, at midnight, the same time the new song was officially released, Xue Zhiqian updated his Weibo with two posts.

One of the points was that his new song had been officially released, and he also gave special thanks to Mr. Xu.

The other post was a photo of him and Xu Lin on stage, taken by a camera. In this Weibo post, Xue Zhiqian also specifically stated: "This concert is very meaningful to me. I didn't expect to meet such a talented classmate. I am ashamed of myself!"

The moment this Weibo post was published, the netizens below started buzzing with excitement.

"Old Xue, tell me honestly, is this person a guest you invited?"

"If this weren't a guest, I'd eat this upside down!"

"Holy crap! That's a wake-up call! Where did this random nobody come from who's so amazing? And nobody else even went up to sing, but this guy did. I knew something was fishy the moment I saw him. Lao Xue, tell me who this guy is!"

Xue Zhiqian did not respond to this.

However, about twenty minutes later, Dilraba appeared, reposted Xue Zhiqian's Weibo post, and added two words: "It sounds good!"

This time, it's Dilraba's fans' turn.

"What does Dilraba mean by this? I've never seen you pay attention to Xue Zhiqian before!"

"I suspect something's fishy!"

"Holy crap! I think I've stumbled upon something crucial. Could that guy at Xue Zhiqian's concert be Mr. Xu? Everyone should listen to Mr. Xu's songs; doesn't his voice sound the same? Besides, Mr. Xu said he's 1.87 meters tall, and this height matches up, doesn't it? Also, Dilraba has met Mr. Xu in person and even taken a photo with him—amazing! So, could this guy be Mr. Xu?"

"Hiss! Blind student, you've definitely found the key point!"

Netizens are indeed resourceful, and they quickly discovered many things.

For example, if you compare the voices of several of Mr. Xu's songs, aren't they exactly the same?

At 12:30 a.m., Xu Lin's fans on Xiaohongshu became very active.

"Mr. Xu, is this boy you?"

"Mr. Xu, tell me this is you!"

"Brother, you're so handsome!"

"Brother, debut already! The Chinese entertainment industry can't do without you, just like the West can't do without Jerusalem, and Christianity and Catholicism can't do without knowing Hong Tianwang! *crying*"

The news spread like wildfire, and many fans have come forward, now just waiting for Xu Lin's response to confirm.

However, Xu Lin never came out.

It's like they've vanished into thin air.

"I think, therefore I am!"

Around 2 a.m., the exhausted Ning Yuhan fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Lin yawned and tossed his phone aside.

He already knew a little about what was happening online, but Xu Lin ignored it.

The French philosopher Descartes once famously said: "I think, therefore I am."

It means that "I" exist when "I" think.

"Therefore, as long as I don't respond, I am not Mr. Xu."

"go to bed!"

Xu Lin rested his head on his hands and slept comfortably.
