Chapter 36: A Song Captures a Maiden's Heart

"In those fleeting years we……"

……

"If we can't meet again with red eyes…… will we still be able to blush?"

……

Homeroom Teacher usually wears black-rimmed glasses, giving off a very stern appearance, and besides, they never bother with grooming.

It's hard to imagine that the other person's singing is actually not bad, and facing the gaze of so many people, they show no sign of stage fright.

Their performance from start to finish was quite stable.

After singing a song, they naturally garnered enthusiastic applause and cheers once again.

After hearing this song, Li Mingyang also couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth into a slight arc, and he whispered a comment to Luo Yuan beside him:

"I didn't see it coming; from this song I feel that our Laoban, when he was young, must have also been someone with a story."

"All things considered, the song doesn't show much technique, but it's full of emotion."

"They say this era has a developed internet, but compared to ten years later it's far behind by leaps and bounds; this is the first time I've heard such a novel idea."

Luo Yuan first froze for a moment, then realized it, and his smile couldn't be stopped.

"Awesome! I'm literally awesome! I can only say your description is spot-on, man!"

"Why don't you go up and perform two songs? I remember you usually have nothing to do, and even when studying you like to hum a couple of lines."

"You usually hum pretty well; why not take this last chance to perform and win over a bunch of little fans?"

"Well, it'd be best to leave a bold, vivid mark in their youthful memories."

As a close friend of three years, Luo Yuan's understanding of Li Mingyang can be said to be quite thorough.

Besides, they share a common hobby: reading novels. As seasoned novel readers, who doesn't have a dream of showing off?

Especially in school, as the place that carries the most vivid youth memories for most people, the frequency of such scenes appearing in various novels is not low.

And in such settings, the trope of showing off and getting slapped in the face, of displaying one's prowess in public, is naturally popular with many readers, even somewhat addictively so.

"This……"

Upon hearing this proposal, Li Mingyang really froze for a moment.

If I were my past self, I probably wouldn't have such a thought at this time, would I?

After all, back then I hardly ever listened to songs, let alone performed two; even though I didn't study, my mind was filled only with the novels I loved most.

Listening to songs wasn't even within my interests, let alone going up to sing two.

But later, in college and after graduation, thanks to a bit of talent, I quickly became the karaoke king in KTVs.

Especially when there are girls around, my singing ability inexplicably increases by a third.

That's because later I overdid drinking and smoking, ruining my voice; many high notes I once could easily hit became unreachable.

Moreover, by then KTV had fallen out of favor, teetering on the edge of obsolescence, and over time I gradually gave up that hobby.

However, my foundation has been brought over to this world; compared to professional athletes, I definitely lack competitiveness.

After all, I know my own level—it's just that of a KTV karaoke king.

But if I placed my skill among this bunch of kids who haven't even graduated high school, wouldn't that be like a high-level account returning to the newbie village to crush fish?

Thinking this through, Li Mingyang indeed felt a bit eager, and his eyes immediately showed a restless urge to try.

"Damn, you wouldn't really have that idea, would you?"

As the initiator of this suggestion, Luo Yuan naturally noticed the expression on Li Mingyang's face.

He immediately couldn't help but look astonished; I was just making a casual joke—could you actually be thinking of going up to show off?

Recalling my earlier joke, this guy actually seems to have some real ability?

At least among the people I know, when they hum casually, Li Mingyang is probably the most skilled.

And if this guy actually goes up……

Thinking of this possibility, Luo Yuan couldn't help but blurt out a national essence expletive in his heart, and his originally bright smile instantly dimmed.

As the old saying goes, a brother's failure is certainly lamentable, but a brother's success is even more heartbreaking!

If you kid manage to pull off showing off……

However, Li Mingyang didn't give them more time to react; after two classmates' performances, he walked confidently to the center of the classroom.

"In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and everyone is about to go their separate ways; I was thinking of giving everyone a small graduation gift."

"But after feeling my pockets, I realized I don't have that financial means, so I'll just give everyone two songs as a graduation gift."

"My singing isn't great, so you'll just have to bear with it; please don't throw rotten eggs at my head!"

Li Mingyang's appearance on stage immediately made most of the class unconsciously brighten up.

Especially the girls in the class; after Li Mingyang leapt to become a top scholar, he already attracted enough attention.

Furthermore, he unconsciously inherited his past life's self-image management, whether in clothing or hairstyle, changing quite a bit without realizing it.

One could say he displayed his handsome face to the fullest, and naturally he had already gathered a flock of little admirers in the class.

Who would have thought that Li Mingyang would now step up and demand to sing a song; the audience's reaction is easy to imagine, even more enthusiastic than when the homeroom teacher took the stage.

"Will you think of me tomorrow……"

As a seasoned veteran, steady like an old dog, the karaoke king, Li Mingyang still doesn't quite grasp his own ability in this life.

So after a brief consideration, he directly chose the song 《The You at the Same Desk》; first, it fits the occasion—such a song in this setting couldn't be more appropriate.

Second, the song's difficulty is low; even if he can't hit the high notes with his current voice, he won't embarrass himself singing it.

Holy shit! I feel this guy deserves to die even more!

One cannot deny that the experience from his past life combined with his well-protected voice in this life not only gave Li Mingyang himself a big surprise, but also gave his classmates a pleasant surprise.

Compared to those previous lackluster performances, Li Mingyang's current showing can be summed up in one word…… drop-to-your-knees!
