You're my wife, don't doubt it!

Siren is at least half female, okay? Why are you so captivated by a male singer's voice?

Oh well... as long as it sounds good, that's fine.

Boy: "Give me your innocent smile?"

Boy: "We should have happy, blissful, and sunny times~~~~"

As the boy sang those two lines, he and the petite girl in black, each holding a microphone, looked at each other. He even put his hand on the girl's shoulder, which triggered a chorus of boos and cheers from the stands.

It's a high school competition, so being so high-profile isn't really a problem, is it? It's just a little sour.

What happened to the promise that you no longer liked Xu Qingwei?

"Yeah, it's just jealousy, pure envy, nothing to do with feelings," Tao Tianyi told himself.

Xiao Yao: "I'll sing it for you..."

Xu Qingwei: "(And) I'll sing it for you..."

Xiao Yao: "Can I move you with my burning passion?"

The boy turned and met the gaze of the tall girl in the white dress, who then sang along with him: "The years are worth remembering, cherishing, a shy red~~~~~"

The boy sings solo: "His face~~~"

Xu Qingwei chorused: "La la la la la la la, la la la la la la~~~"

Tao Tianyi immediately saw the ingenuity of this arrangement.

These three can be seen as a meeting of the Mariana Trench and the high mountains and flowing water. Therefore, the show's planners cleverly arranged for Xu, the student from the Mariana Trench, to mainly play the role of harmony, such as "I want to sing this to you" and "la la la la la la la la". These songs require the least singing skills. As long as they show off their cute girlish voice, it doesn't matter if they occasionally deviate from the score by one or two words.

As for why she was chosen to sing the first two lines, perhaps it was a matter of favoritism on the part of the planners? They had to give her enough screen time.

When the song was about halfway through, the tall girl in the white dress attracted even more attention from the audience—especially the male audience members.

To be fair, the girl sang no worse than the young man. If Xiao Yao in black was a 10, the girl in white was at least a 9.

Compared to Xiao Yao's stunning opening, the girl in white was just a conventional "good singer," which was somewhat aesthetically tiring in a competition of this level.

However, as the performance progressed and the songs became more and more captivating, the girl in white's solid voice and moving performance gained more and more recognition. Especially under the principle of attraction between opposite sexes, the girl in white's slender figure (her face was naturally not visible) paired with her ethereal white dress was simply... wow, wow, wow.

Tao Tianyi and his classmates whispered among themselves, inquiring about the girl in the white dress. They learned that her name was Yu Luying, Xiao Yao's officially announced girlfriend, a perennial top student in the grade, and exceptionally beautiful...

What the hell is this plot of an idol drama?

Tao Tianyi couldn't take it anymore.

Is there something good happening? If there's something good happening, you wouldn't think of me.

"Who can replace you? (Xu Qingwei and) Who can replace you?"

Love to the fullest while you're young! (Xu Qingwei and) Love!

My dearest one~

"It's a long journey, let's stay together?"

During the song's interlude, Xiao Yao first performed an acoustic guitar solo.

However, an acoustic guitar is not an electric guitar after all. Although there was a microphone pointed at the resonating chamber, the effect was still a bit lacking. Moreover, the boy's solo fingering was obviously rusty and not skillful enough. Tao Tianyi guessed that he had crammed for the last minute. Even so, the stands of St. Francis Middle School still erupted with a huge wave of enthusiastic applause.

After the guitar solo, it was Yu Luying's cello solo. Compared to the guitar solo, the female cello solo sounded much more professional, both passionate and tender. Tao Tianyi's musical literacy was poor, and his Chinese was also mediocre. Besides "awesome," "good to listen to," and "professional," he couldn't think of many other adjectives.

Tao Tianyi's main attention was still focused on his deskmate, Xu Qingwei, the dancer in black.

He couldn't quite describe what kind of dance it was, but he felt it was unusually cheerful and lively. It was about running and jumping around Xiao Yao and Yu Luying. He didn't know if it was because she was barefoot, but although she was a girl, she seemed like a little rascal. For some reason, Tao Tianyi thought of Xu Jiao from "CJ7", and then of Calabash Brothers or Nezha or something like that—what a bunch of nonsense.

After showcasing a dazzling split, Tao Tianyi couldn't help but think of the injury he'd heard female dancers were prone to... injury...

Xu Qingwei stood up and ran towards Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao put down his wooden guitar, squatted down, and Xu Qingwei jumped onto one of his arms.

The guy stumbled and stood up abruptly like an acrobat, while the girl in the black dress was lifted high on his shoulders like a child, smiling and waving to the audience in all directions.

I'll f*** your mother.

Tao Tianyi nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Three seconds later, Xu Qingwei gracefully jumped down from the boy's shoulder.

The roar of celebration from all directions drowned out the few lines of singing that followed; the cheers were clearly coming from the stands of various schools.

I want to sing this song for you~

Take advantage of your youthful beauty;

Let the flowers bloom freely!

Adorn your years, my branches and buds;

Who can replace you? (Xu Qingwei and) Who can replace you?

Love to the fullest while you're young! (Xu Qingwei and) Love!

My dearest one~

It's a long way, let's stay together~

I'll sing this song for you~ (Xu Qingwei and I) I'll sing this song for you~

Give me your innocent and pure smile.

We should have happiness and joy.

A sunny day;

I'll sing this song for you~ (Xu Qingwei and I) I'll sing this song for you~

Can I touch your heart with my burning passion?

The years are worth remembering and cherishing.

Shy, blushing cheeks

(Xu Qingwei and) La la la la la la la, la la la la la la~

We should have happiness and joy.

A sunny day~

I'll sing this song for you~ (Xu Qingwei and I) I'll sing this song for you~

Can I touch your heart with my most fervent feelings?

The years are worth remembering and cherishing.

A shy blush on her face~

(Xu Qingwei and) Who can replace you? Love to the fullest while you're young!

Yu Luying: Love me~ My dearest one~

The three of them said together: "The journey is long, let's go together!"

Amidst the howling of the storm, the judges raised their placards one after another.

The boy in black was holding the hand of a girl in each hand, and the three of them stood in a row, bowing to the three groups of people on the stage.

About two-thirds of the judges raised their 10-point signs, some raised their 9-point signs, and two female teachers who looked particularly old-fashioned raised their 8-point and 7-point signs.

After removing the highest and lowest scores, the three children finally got a total score of 9.6 points.

"One more!" The thug nicknamed "Ribbonfish" stood up and started shouting again, setting the pace.

"One more!" Zhang Jia chimed in.

"One more!" This beautiful girl is named Qu Yuqin, but the teachers and students in her class all call her Ouyang Qianqian.

"Xiao Yao!" Is this the female class monitor of Xiao Yao's class?

"one comes!"

"Xiao Yao!"

"one comes!"

"Xiao Yao!"

"one comes!"

"Xiao Yao!"

"one comes!"

"Xiao Yao, give us one!" Caught up in the atmosphere, Tao Tianyi also started shouting enthusiastically.

"Xiao Yao, give us one!" "Xiao Yao, give us one!" "Xiao Yao, give us one!" The entire stands of St. Francis Secondary School began chanting in unison again. Then, the chants spread to the stands of other schools and eventually to the entire football field.

While Tao Tianyi was shouting along with Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, one more song! Xiao Yao, one more song!", he was secretly amused. This was a competition, not a concert. What was the point of asking for "one more song"?

Hey hey hey... you're really planning to sing another song? We're being polite to you, but you're not going to hold back... How shameless of you, how novel of a story.

Xiao Yao made a dashing "STOP" gesture on the stage, and the students on the three sides of the stands gradually quieted down.

Dressed in black, Xu Qingwei bowed again to the three sides of the stands, waved, and then left the center of the stage, heading backstage.

Yu Luying, who was first in her grade, did not leave. She simply walked a few steps to Xiao Yao's side, sat down on the high stool again, and placed her bow on the cello strings.
