Chapter 419: After Losing Weight, You All Love Me (31)

Chapter 419: After Losing Weight, Everyone Loves Me (31)

In the final performance of his university days, Xing Zhe wore just a simple white T-shirt. The vibrant pink, paired with his strikingly refined features, created a look that was both harmonious and unrestrained.

The first segment of the performance was Xing Zhe's drum solo. As the drumbeats fell, an astonishing vitality erupted from him!

He gripped the drumsticks, hammering the drums as if they might shatter!

As the rhythm quickened, his body moved along with it!

The spotlight happened to fall on him at that moment, and with Xing Zhe's movements, countless dazzling beams of light seemed to radiate from him.

These interweaving lights made Xing Zhe, seated at the center of the stage, appear almost godlike—utterly captivating.

After the drum solo, the atmosphere at the band's live performance was electric!

Xing Zhe stood up, his gaze fiery and focused.

He raised the microphone and addressed the audience, "The next song is our band's very first song."

"'Ridge Line'—I hope you all enjoy it."

As soon as Xing Zhe finished speaking, the venue erupted into cheers!

"Ahhhhhhh, 'Ridge Line'! I love this song so much!"

"The first song of the set is actually 'Ridge Line'! I'm so excited!"

"This is it! My ultimate crush! My go-to repeat song!"

...

"Ridge Line" could be considered Xing Zhe's breakthrough hit—the band's first song, which became an instant hit upon release!

Almost every fan in the venue could sing along!

Sure enough, as soon as Xing Zhe began singing on stage, it sparked a massive sing-along throughout the venue!

"These eyes, lost in the deep sea, hoping to salvage a future."

"A heart, wavering unsteadily, no wonder it sometimes ends up alone."

"You ask if the mountain is far, if I can see it, how to move forward when every direction feels just as dangerous."

...

The atmosphere was absolutely electric!

From Tang Qing's perspective, Xing Zhe's stage charisma was nothing short of genius!

For most performers, commanding the stage is the hardest part—the larger the crowd, the greater the demand for stage command.

How old is Xing Zhe?

Just at the age of having recently graduated, yet he already commands the stage without a hint of stage fright, even completely losing himself in the performance—a feat many singers with dozens of concerts under their belt struggle to achieve.

No wonder he held the title of school heartthrob at C University for four consecutive years. Truly...

It's hard not to fall for Xing Zhe when he's on stage.

Just as she was thinking this, Tang Qing suddenly heard Lu Tongchu's voice by her ear, "Want some water?"

The abrupt interruption instantly snapped Tang Qing out of her reverie.

The timing of that bottle of mineral water was almost too perfect—it was placed directly in front of Tang Qing.

As luck would have it, it completely blocked the view of Xing Zhe on the center stage!

"Ah, thank you."

In that moment, Tang Qing understood Lu Tongchu's intention. She took the bottle and deliberately remarked, "I can't quite picture it..."

"That Xing Zhe would be like this on stage..."

"He's really captivating."

Like a blazing flame, burning through his crazy energy, he radiated his vibrant energy with unrestrained intensity!

Tang Qing's admiration was met with Lu Tongchu's deadpan comment, "Hmm."

"He's alright."

Like an overly energetic moth fluttering around and making that buzzing noise incessantly—a bit annoying, he added mentally.

Tang Qing asked again, "Lu Tongchu, have you listened to Xing Zhe's songs before?"

"No," Lu Tongchu replied flatly, "This is the first time."

And probably the last time in this lifetime.

So damn loud.

Especially with all the screaming everywhere around—even more irritating.

If she weren't here...

He wouldn't stick around in such a place for even a second longer!

Just then, Xing Zhe's voice rang out from the stage:

"Audience friends, are you—enjoying yourselves tonight?"

The stage microphone pointed outward, and the entire crowd shouted back in unison:

"Yes—"

Xing Zhe: "Does everyone know the words to 'Ridge Line'?"

"Yes!"

Xing Zhe asked again, "Really, everyone knows it?"

The audience: "Yes—"

Hearing this, a quick grin curled at the corner of Xing Zhe's lips as he announced the next interactive crowd work segment: "We'll randomly select a fan from the audience to invite them to come up on stage to duet with me."

"Wouldn't it be crazy if we picked—someone who doesn't know the song?"

His teasing question was met with a wave of laughter from the audience.

The spotlight started sweeping the crowd!

The chance to meet the idol, almost everyone secretly hoped to be the lucky fan!

Only Lu Tongchu immediately frowned upon hearing about selecting a lucky audience member.

Why pick a lucky audience member?

This kind of luck… was probably going to land on…

His dark eyes were still deep in thought when, the next second, the spotlight indeed landed on Tang Qing!

As her face appeared on the big screen, the audience went completely silent!

"Huh… Is that… the girl from the forum?"

"Is the cameraman doing this on purpose? They picked Xing Zhe's girlfriend on purpose!"

"Hehehe, why does this feel like it's making me ship them? His final graduation performance, sharing the stage with his girlfriend!"

Almost everyone assumed Tang Qing was Xing Zhe’s new girlfriend, and the looks she got were full of implication.

On stage, Xing Zhe was also stunned. He never expected tonight’s audience interaction part to pick Tang Qing!

He had given her that ticket himself, and she probably… wasn’t familiar with this song.

Just as he was about to ask the cameraman to pick someone else, unexpectedly—

Under the spotlight, Tang Qing walked straight toward him!

Her? Is she really going to sing?

Even as Tang Qing stood on the stage, Xing Zhe still looked completely bewildered.

"Do you know how to sing this song?"

Standing at the center of the stage, Tang Qing tested the mic quietly, "Probably…"

"I just heard it now."

Though her voice was quiet, Xing Zhe was almost laughed in disbelief!

What kind of answer is that?

Some kind of prodigy?

You can sing it after one listen?

"You've got to be—"

Before Xing Zhe could finish, Tang Qing began to sing!

"These eyes, sank into deep oceans, trying to salvage a future."

"A heart, swaying unsteadily, no wonder, sometimes left alone."

As soon as her voice rang out, everyone's eyes went wide in disbelief!

Completely a cappella!

An incredibly beautiful completely a cappella!

The female voice came through—indescribable—somewhat soft and delicate, yet with a magnetic quality, exceptionally captivating!

Even more impressive is that she sang perfectly in tune!

Just like a professional singer, even her breath sounds were inaudible.

"Holy crap! I knew it! The cameraperson giving her the spotlight must have been intentional!"

"No wonder Xing Zhe likes her, she sings so beautifully!"

"Completely a cappella! This voice… I'm sold."

Amid the crowd’s murmurs, Xing Zhe froze for a second before snapping into action, and joining Tang Qing’s voice, "You ask how far the mountain lies—can your eyes even see it?"

Though it was clearly their first time performing together, they were unexpectedly in sync.

As if they had rehearsed countless times, their voices blended into one, unbelievably gorgeous.
