Chapter 95: 87. In fancy clothes and on spirited horses, in our youthful days
"The landlord’s cat! My God!"
"Who exactly made the program list, insisting on writing ’Lu Jincheng and others,’ so low-key!"
"Are you silly? He’s not from our school, it’s already great that we could invite him to perform."
"I really love their new song!"
"Who is Lu Jincheng?"
At the welcome party of their own school, the sight of a popular folk band caused the applause and discussion to instantly explode, continuing incessantly.
In Nanhu University’s radio station, their music was played every now and then!
Guitarist Pei Pei’s wrist trembled, the intro resonating throughout the auditorium.
With a microphone stand in front, the spotlight directly aimed at Lu Jincheng, and under the gaze of thousands, he began to sing.
He held the microphone with one hand, counting the beats in his mind, and opened his mouth.
1,2,3,4!
"Yes, I see sunshine everywhere
Happiness floats above the city
A new world arrives like a dream
Warm me~"
Lu Jincheng could not be considered a professional singer, as he had nothing extraordinary in terms of breath, tone, or vocal skills.
Yet, none of these were suitable for this song, that first-hand experience through the rapid transformations of a new era, that anxiety and cherishing towards the future...
Those complex emotions, those were the essence of this song.
Under the lights, he stood on stage holding the mic with one hand, with a straight back and bright eyes, his voice carrying a hint of youthful vigor.
"It sounds so good... he sings so well!"
"Please, Zhou Sinin, restrain yourself!"
The incessant applause didn’t just come from the two sisters visiting from Finance University, the majority of the audience clapped along.
The lingering resonance of the song wasn’t only about a pleasant voice, what mattered was the emotion it conveyed.
Lu Jincheng’s voice was clear and crisp, leaving one wanting more, cutting straight to the heart.
"I didn’t expect Lao Lu to sing so well... I never heard him sing when we were drinking last time."
"Damn, he must have brought a professional to sing with him, how else could he dare get up there?"
"No wonder he dared to sign up!"
Below, classmates from the Management College gathered together, discussing Lu Jincheng’s singing abilities.
Extremely stunning!
The opening he sang had a completely different flavor from the original!
The audience couldn’t distinguish their feelings but simply found it genuinely pleasing.
After the opening, it was Xinyi’s turn, the other lead singer. She took off the mic and naturally continued:
"Is your old pocket watch still ticking?
Are your old leather shoes still wearable?
Here is a ’Future’ brand cigarette,
Don’t you want to try it~?"
Today, Xinyi was also filled with youthful vibrancy, her shoulder-length hair smartly styled in a mermaid tail at the ends, with bangs neatly trimmed along her cheeks, perfectly enhancing her delicate features.
She was naturally sweet and charming, her voice lazy and captivating, like a summer breeze brushing gently against the cheeks, leaving the audience blissfully enchanted.
As professional singers, Xinyi and Pei Pei were quite popular at Nanhu University, the audience looking at her bright, sparkling eyes, moving their hands involuntarily to the rhythm.
Next up, Lu Jincheng continued.
"The sun will probably be nice tomorrow morning~ ah
I’ll tidy myself up
Selling off all the old stuff~"
After finishing the first line, the young man stretched out the "ah," as if waving hello to the new era.
"Oh, how nice that would be~ ah
Come on over, Pentium computers
Let them think in my stead~"
Xinyi then took over another segment, just like Lu Jincheng, she ’ah’d’ softly to the audience, a sweet smile on her lips.
The next second, the guitar sound and background music abruptly halted.
Lu Jincheng and Xinyi glanced at each other, both removing their mics from the stands.
Then, side by side, they moved closer as their voices vibrated with the chord, both singing simultaneously.
"Wear new clothes
Get a new hairstyle
Unwind a bit with Windows 98
"Dressed beautifully,
is heaven,
Our life is sweet like sugar~"
In the bustling auditorium, the students and teachers, who had been sitting properly, seemed to be called by the new era, swaying left and right with the rhythm of the singer on stage.
"Wear new clothes,
get a new hairstyle,
relax with Windows98,
No more pain in the roads ahead,
How cool our future will be~"
As Lu Jincheng sang, he tiptoed, swaying his body with the beat, imitating Xinyi’s relaxed gestures on stage, happily waving his hands from side to side.
The lively rhythm tore apart the differences in status, and even the school leaders below watched with glee, nodding their heads occasionally.
"This performance is really good."
That year of the millennium, Pu Shu’s song, right!
The leaders have heard it too!
Ten or so years ago, who wasn’t a teenager once!
"Really sounds great!"
"Who is this Lu Jincheng? Why is he standing in the center position, singing beside Goddess Xinyi?"
"Are you dumb? Didn’t you hear the host? He’s the boss of Golden Stone Studio!"
"The evening party is sponsored by him?"
"Exactly, the snacks on the table now, the gifts and the raffle later, all his money!"
"I swear, this guy looks scholarly but is actually loaded!"
Towards the latter part of the song,
At that moment, the auditorium had already turned into an ocean of joy.
Some students happily jumped around following the three on stage, some discussed who this guy really was, while others simply started gossiping online.
"Mou Keyan senior has signed with this studio too!"
"What does that mean, did he sweep up all the web celebrities around Nanhu? Is he that capable?"
"...You might not know, but the girl I like went to his studio for an interview a few days ago and didn’t even pass the resume round."
Normally, Lu Jincheng wasn’t very well-known in the university.
No one knew him during military training, he was absent from classes frequently, pushing all the class duties to the class leader.
Apart from a few close friends, even within the Management College, many were unaware of him.
Not to mention being known across the whole university.
Compared to the well-known Mou Keyan, people might know that Mou Keyan earned money by live streaming on MiaoYu, but unless they investigated further, it was hard for people to know that she had signed with Golden Stone Studio.
Let alone knowing the name of the studio’s boss.
But today,
The name Lu Jincheng truly spread across the whole university, in just the duration of one song.
The host’s introduction, the support of the professional singers, and his relaxed demeanor that showed no signs of stage fright quickly made everyone remember this sunny and handsome young man.
Lu Jincheng!
An entrepreneurial rising star, rich and handsome, good at singing, and even sponsored the welcome party!
"Guan Guan, we should head back."
After the song ended, the applause thundered.
Lu Jincheng, together with Xinyi and Pei Pei, bowed in gratitude and stepped off the stage side by side.
Zhou Sinin, who had been joyfully jumping around, felt extremely good, her arm turning sore from waving.
As the singing ceased, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief but noticed her best friend hadn’t uttered a word for a long time.
"What are you thinking?!"
"Hey?"
The bright lights of the auditorium shone, making Guan Yongyi’s cheeks flush red.
She remained motionless, her eyes fixed intently on the center of the stage.
"Ah? Oh... it’s nothing, just feeling a bit stuffy here with too many people."
Guan Yongyi quickly shook her head, reaching out to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear, trying to hide her flushed ears under her hair.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have hair long enough to fully cover it.
Luckily, there were enough people in the auditorium.
In the crowd, it wasn’t clear what caused her blushing cheeks.
"Alright, let’s go back."
Whether it was the temperature or her heartbeat,
perhaps only the person involved would know.
