Chapter 8

"Yanzi, how is the song he created? Have you heard it?"

At this moment, Hu Chunni, who had just stepped off the stage, looked at Zheng Rongxuan sitting in front of the piano and suddenly felt that he looked like an elegant prince.

Today, Zheng Rongxuan was clearly dressed up carefully. Hu Chunni had noticed this earlier in the backstage. It was said that this somewhat special exchange student from China was actually wearing a full set of Versace from head to toe: a blue cashmere sweater, a navy blue casual suit, a matching navy blue casual suit pants, and a pair of brown Versace leather shoes.

Didn't they say his family conditions were just average? This outfit must cost over ten thousand RMB. Can this still be called average?

Jiang Yan obviously didn't notice this and shook her head, saying, "I haven't heard it either. But when did he start writing books?"

The same question was spreading among the audience, especially among Zheng Rongxuan's classmates.

"What book did Zheng Rongxuan write? Why have we never heard him mention it before?"

"Who knows? He doesn't usually talk much with others."

"After class, he disappears. I thought he was working part-time."

"How could that be? Unlike other exchange students, he doesn't live on campus but rents an apartment outside. Maybe he's writing something."

"But, what book is he writing? Does anyone know?"

"Not sure, maybe something related to computers!"

"Are you sure he's studying computers and not music?"

"Exactly, when did computer science students start composing songs and writing books? Do we music students have no place left?"

"Maybe his songs are really bad."

"Or maybe he's plagiarizing. Chinese people are known for copying."

Zheng Rongxuan, of course, was unaware that his fellow countrymen and classmates were so curious, and many of them even doubted his so-called original works.

He rubbed his long, slender fingers and gently placed them on the piano keys, took a deep breath, and began to play. Immediately, a series of crisp sounds filled the air, so gentle and warm, as if one could feel the deep love in the melody.

After the prelude, Zheng Rongxuan leaned slightly forward, his head just touching the microphone, looking surprisingly professional.

I Believe...

I believe even though you're not by my side,

But that doesn't mean it's goodbye.

I Believe...

I believe the path back to me is just a bit longer.

In the memories that have passed,

I let myself cry and feel the pain.

I hope you won't cry like me.

As soon as he started singing, his clear and standard Seoul accent spread through the speakers, surprising many in the audience. This included the classmates who had doubted his original songs, the teachers in the front row, and the other Chinese students studying in Korea.

Everyone had only thought that Zheng Rongxuan had created a song that was barely passable. But after just the opening, almost all the music professors opened their eyes wide, looking at Zheng Rongxuan on stage with bright eyes.

Original music, original lyrics, and a voice that was no less than that of a professional singer. Although his technique was slightly raw, he was definitely better than many newly debuted singers, even their pride, H.O.T.'s Kim Junsu. But such a musically talented person was actually from the computer science department. How could the music department bear this?

"This student must come to our music department; otherwise, it would be a waste of such a good talent."

"Why? His computer skills are also top-notch in our department. Going to your music department would be a waste."

"Such great musical talent, shouldn't he come to our music department? What future does he have in the computer science department?"

"Ha, what's so great about the music department? Computer science is a sunrise industry. Where in the future can you do without computers?"

...

"Wow, this guy sings so well? I've never heard him before, even though I don't understand the lyrics." Jiang Yan was also slightly surprised by Zheng Rongxuan's voice, and almost instantly, her heart was filled with immense joy. At least the Chinese students wouldn't be embarrassed this time.

"Indeed, he sings very well, and the lyrics are great too. I didn't expect him to be such a talented person. It's hard to find a man as talented as Yanzi. If you like him, you should make a move quickly." Hu Chunni was also surprised, as she had never heard Zheng Rongxuan sing before.

"Sis Nini, don't joke. I don't have a spark with him. He's a bit wooden. No matter how talented he is, he's not my type."

...

On stage, Zheng Rongxuan's Korean lyrics expressed the deep emotions of a separated couple and a boy's infatuation. The young men and women in the audience couldn't help but recall their own moments together. Many couples held hands, looked at each other, and a gentle smile seemed to convey their deep love, vowing never to part and not to let the other suffer because of their separation.

The professional singers in the audience were also greatly surprised. They hadn't expected that among these originally amateur classmates, there was such a unique talent. An entirely original song, and a rare excellent one at that. Even if it were performed by H.O.T., it would be a rare masterpiece, even suitable as a lead single.

There were also talent scouts from various entertainment companies in the audience. They all had wolf-like eyes, staring intently at Zheng Rongxuan on stage, their eyes filled with immense joy. Such a singer was a company's dream, with the ability to create original songs that could captivate people. The company only needed to package him and he could be launched.

...

The audience was completely entranced, but the first verse ended at this moment. The deep love in the song still lingered in their hearts. Just as they wanted to savor it further, they suddenly found that the song was completely incomprehensible. Oh, not everyone, only those who understood Japanese could understand, because Zheng Rongxuan had switched to Japanese for the second verse.

I Believe, it's not goodbye,

I believe now,

I Believe, even if it's a detour,

We will surely meet again.

I hurt you with my kindness,

...

The audience was speechless, and some were shocked again by Zheng Rongxuan's talent. If he had sung in Chinese, it wouldn't have been surprising, as it was natural for Zheng Rongxuan to know Chinese. But after singing the first verse in pure Korean, he switched to Japanese for the second verse.

And it was such standard, clear Japanese. Was this guy born knowing three languages? Is he really only 18 years old? When did Chinese education become so advanced? An 18-year-old freshman could speak three languages?

Even the teachers in the front row were surprised. What other talents does this child have? [Please follow and recommend!]
