On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

After Chen Mo and Su Yuqing finished their duet, some people applauded with empathy, while many others were stunned and even forgot to applaud.

They watched the perfect couple in the arena, the sense of destiny in their singing and the determination in their eyes complementing each other. The fulfillment of overcoming waiting and finally embracing tightly was as beautiful as a dream they didn't want to wake up from.

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing exchanged a smile, bowed to the crowd again, and then returned to their seats hand in hand.

Their figures blended into the crowd, but the magnificent picture of love from its birth to eternity, which they depicted together through song, lingered in the air above the bonfire party, warming the cool autumn night and igniting the hopes in many people's hearts.

The atmosphere of the party was heightened by this perfect duet and chorus.

But this heightened emotion stems from a longing for love!

This party is an opportunity to meet more people of the opposite sex and also an opportunity to increase your chances of finding love.

At the age of college students, it is the time when they experience the most intense physical and psychological excitement.

At this moment, how many people's hearts are filled with boundless anticipation and longing for love!
The applause gradually subsided, but the emotion and warmth that filled the air lingered for a long time.

Teacher Zhang Ye walked back to the campfire at the right moment, a deeply moved smile on his face.

"Thank you, thank you Chen Mo and Su Yuqing!" He clapped, his tone full of appreciation. "This is not just a song, but a beautiful sharing of emotions. Let's give them another round of applause, and also to every student who bravely showcased themselves tonight!"

I'm sure there will be more wonderful performances to come. Don't be shy, students; feel free to step forward and showcase your talents!

The atmosphere of the party, which had been pushed to its peak by Chen Mo and Su Yuqing, did not decline thereafter.

Under Teacher Zhang's skillful guidance and with the students' enthusiasm fully ignited, more wonderful performances began to unfold one after another.

After several lively performances, a slender figure slowly rose and walked into the center of the stage.

It's Shen Xinghe...

His movement immediately attracted a lot of attention.

If Chen Mo's handsomeness is sunny, dashing, calm, and reliable, then Shen Xinghe's handsomeness is a kind of exquisite beauty that blurs gender boundaries and carries a sense of detachment.

The glow of the campfire softened the lines of his face, his slightly long hair brushed against his fair neck, and his peach blossom eyes appeared hazy and deep in the firelight.

He simply stood there, exuding an aura of detachment from the world.

"Who is this? Is their eight-year program just for producing handsome men and beautiful women?" a girl in the basic medical sciences class exclaimed softly.

"Shen Xinghe! He was already a famous model in the Youth Charm magazine before even graduating from high school. He was also a sensational participant in the basketball game incident not long after the start of the semester! At first, many people thought he was a girl!"

"My God, I watched that game. I was watching from the stands before, so it wasn't very clear, but seeing it up close is even more amazing... This girl's looks are just too unfair! She's even prettier than the girl we're most afraid of in our class."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man realized he had said the wrong thing, and sure enough, he was immediately locked onto by the gazes of several girls.

Startled, he quickly changed the subject, "Wait, look what he's holding? A leaf?"

"Huh? It really is Ye Zi! What's he going to do?"

At this moment, everyone noticed that Shen Xinghe had a thin leaf in his hand, a rare green leaf in autumn. Chen Mo and the others, with their sharp eyes, all realized that this leaf seemed to be one of the few that Shen Xinghe had brought back from Yunxi Stream to make bookmarks. They hadn't expected Shen Xinghe to bring one out tonight.

"I use this leaf to play a tune called 'Old Dreams,' and dedicate it to everyone, and to this night." His voice remained clear and cool, like a mountain stream, which, in this lively setting, possessed a unique charm that soothed people's hearts.

"With leaves?" A murmur of barely suppressed surprise rippled through the audience.

"Leaves can play music? Are you kidding me?"

"I remember my grandpa used to know how to do this. I heard it when I was little, but after I went to town, I didn't hear anyone playing songs with leaves for a long time..."

"This is a technical skill. If you blow on it and there's no sound at all, that would be embarrassing."

"But if it could actually be blown out like that, that would be so cool!"

Amidst the curious, skeptical, and expectant gazes of the crowd, he remained silent, simply and gracefully pressed the leaf to his lips.

The next moment, a melodious, ethereal, and slightly wild note miraculously flowed from that thin leaf.

The sound was ethereal and distant, close to nature, like a gentle breeze in the mountains, birdsong in the forest, and the babbling of a stream, all in wonderful harmony with the leaping campfire and the tranquil night sky.

The unique sound of the leaf flute instantly calmed the previous noise and surging passion, bringing everyone into a tranquil and poetic realm.

At this moment, performer Shen Xinghe was immersed in himself. He had his eyes slightly closed, stood tall and elegant, and the firelight cast soft light and shadow on his delicate features. The way he focused on playing the leaf flute was like an elf who was integrated with nature, breathtakingly beautiful.

All the doubts vanished at that moment, replaced by focused listening.

Zhao Ya was mesmerized. She had never imagined that a tiny leaf could produce such a moving sound. It stirred her heart more than any carefully rehearsed performance, and she felt as if every note was gently blowing into her heart.

Looking at his focused profile, she felt an indescribable flutter in her heart.

As the music ended, the lingering sound of the leaf flute seemed to still echo in the night, lingering for a long time.

The applause wasn't as enthusiastic as before; the crowd was filled with surprise, respect, and deep reflection, so many people simply forgot to clap.

This tiny leaf brought everyone an auditory feast that reached the soul, and also deeply imprinted Shen Xinghe's unique and otherworldly image in the minds of many people.

The lingering notes of Shen Xinghe's captivating leaf flute seemed to still echo in the night sky, and the scene remained immersed in that tranquil and profound atmosphere.

Just then, Teacher Zhang Ye walked to the campfire again with a smile and suggested in a loud voice, "Students! We've enjoyed so many wonderful performances, from heartfelt duets to the heavenly sound of the leaf flute. Shouldn't our instructors also do something? What do you all think? Would you like to see what our instructors are like off the training field?"

"Alright! Let's have an instructor!"

"I do! I really do!"

"Instructor Lei/Instructor Wang/Instructor Fang! Give us one!" the three classes shouted in unison.

A thunderous response erupted from the audience, the cheers rising higher and higher, each face filled with anticipation. (End of Chapter)
