Chapter 85: I Am a Wolf from the North!

"I can sing," Huaming said, shaking his hair in a very cool but somewhat silly manner.

"Why don't you sing us a song first?" Tang Zhong walked into the dormitory, pulled a wooden chair, and sat down. He said to Huaming, "We'll all face away from you. If you sing well, we'll turn around. If you sing poorly, you'll have to buy us meat sandwiches."

"Right. If all three of us turn around, you'll have the qualifications to represent Class 1 in the school selection," Liang Tao also moved a chair and sat next to Tang Zhong. "If even one of us doesn't turn around, you're out."

Li Yu hesitated for a moment, then dragged the chair he was sitting on to sit on Tang Zhong's left.

Huaming was furious and said, "Do you think this is 'China's Got Talent'? Do you think you're the dream mentors? Facing away from me?"

"Are you going to sing or not? If you don't, just go buy the meat sandwiches. I'll find someone else for this spotlight job," Tang Zhong said. "I think there are plenty of boys who want to perform on stage. Jiao Nan seems to sing pretty well."

Tang Zhong knew that Huaming wanted to perform on stage to gain attention, ideally to cause a sensation at Nan University and become a campus singer and a heartthrob, even though his face was quite ordinary.

"I'll sing," Huaming said reluctantly. "I'll sing 'I Am a Wolf from the North.'"

"Wait," Tang Zhong called out. "If your level is the same as when you were drunk and shouting, you don't need to sing. Just go buy the meat sandwiches."

Tang Zhong had heard Huaming sing this song before. His howling tone could make people shiver and foam at the mouth. As long as they didn't die, they would want to rush up and beat this vicious wolf.

"How could it be? That was the drunk version. This time, I'll give you a sad version," Huaming said. He rolled up a book from Tang Zhong's desk to use as a microphone and stood there, preparing his emotions.

I am a wolf from the North,

Walking in the vast wilderness,

The fierce north wind blows,

The endless yellow sand sweeps by.

Tang Zhong and Liang Tao exchanged glances, both surprised by what they saw.

Huaming intentionally imitated Qi Qin's hoarse voice, and his opening line was stunning.

Moreover, his tone carried a unique sense of沧桑 (沧桑 means "沧桑" in Chinese, which can be translated as "沧桑" or "沧桑" in English, but in this context, it means "沧桑" or "沧桑"), easily drawing people into the vast wilderness. The wind howled in their ears, the yellow sand flew everywhere, and the lone wolf walked with a look of melancholy.

Some say that those who can sing this song well have stories to tell.

Tang Zhong thought that Huaming's inner world might not be as cheerful and playful as he appeared.

I am a wolf from the North,

Walking in the vast wilderness,

The fierce north wind blows,

The endless yellow sand sweeps by.

I can only bite my cold teeth,

And howl twice in response.

Huaming's pitch rose, his emotions became more intense, and his passion grew, making people resonate with him.

Tang Zhong couldn't resist anymore. He slapped Liang Tao's thigh and turned around when the other was gritting his teeth.

Then, he was stunned.

Huaming's eyes were moist, and his dark, round face was covered in tears.

Seeing Tang Zhong turn around, Huaming quickly waved his hand and said, "Turn back. Turn back quickly."

"Even if I turned a bit late, you don't have to cry, right?" Tang Zhong spoke in a joking tone.

He knew that Huaming had a strong sense of self-respect and had put his emotions into the lyrics, so he couldn't help but cry. But he certainly didn't want others to see this.

Liang Tao also turned around. He was surprised by Huaming's expression and said, "Boss, you don't have to be like this, right? Actually, when we don't look at your face, your singing is quite moving."

Li Yu turned around and looked at Huaming thoughtfully. He wanted to say something but just shook his head lightly.

"I sang so damn well," Huaming said, rubbing his eyes. "I even moved myself to tears."

Mingzhu Railway Station.

Tang Zhong sat on a bench reading the latest "Mingzhu News." Li Yu, as usual, had an earphone in one ear and was engrossed in a novel.

Huaming and Liang Tao waited at the bottom of the stairs, constantly looking toward the distant bus stop.

"Strange. Why haven't they arrived yet?" Liang Tao asked anxiously.

"Women's makeup is one of the most time-consuming things in the world," Huaming said, trying to comfort him. "Especially since they're coming to see me today, they'll want to dress up carefully."

"The time has already passed. They won't come, right?" Liang Tao said worriedly. "Did something delay them? Or did they decide not to come and stand us up?"

"No way," Huaming said with the authority of an expert. "If they were delayed, they would have called us in advance. If they wanted to stand us up, why would they accept our invitation? Women may be short-sighted, but that doesn't mean they're stupid."

At that moment, Liang Tao exclaimed, "They're here. They're here."

As he spoke, he quickly ran out.

On the train station square, a taxi stopped. Luo Huan, who was larger in build, got out of the passenger seat first. Qiu Yihan, He Na, and Cheng Pei, who were slimmer, squeezed into the back.

"Finally, you're here. We've been waiting for half an hour," Liang Tao ran up to Qiu Yihan and said with a smile. "Come on, give me your bag."

"No need. I can carry it myself," Qiu Yihan only had a small panda-shaped plush backpack. It was light and casual, more like going out for a walk than a trip.

Huaming walked over to offer to carry He Na's bag, but she refused, her eyes glancing at Liang Tao.

Huaming didn't mind and went over to carry Luo Huan and Cheng Pei's travel bags, leading them to meet Tang Zhong and Li Yu.

Tang Zhong's eyes lit up when he saw Qiu Yihan. She wore a faded, worn-out pair of jeans, a tank top, and a white, rolled-up shirt over it. The shirt had no buttons, just a long hem tied into a bow at her navel.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore a black baseball cap. Her eyes were clear and pure, making her look like a casually dressed little princess.

He Na was also dressed up, but her makeup was a bit heavy, lacking the innocence of a student and adding a touch of cosmetics.

Cheng Pei and Luo Huan, who were less attractive, wore loose, shapeless sportswear and sneakers.

"The announcement has already been made. Let's get on the train," Tang Zhong said with a smile, thinking that it was fortunate he had asked for their IDs in advance to buy tickets, otherwise, they would have to wait until the next day.

Since there was only one train from Mingzhu to Yvnu Mountain each day, missing it meant waiting another day.

"Okay," Qiu Yihan nodded and explained in a low voice, "There was traffic on the way, so we're a bit late."

"No problem. Beauty has the right to be late," Tang Zhong said with a smile.

They were the last to board the train and found their seats according to the tickets.

Tang Zhong and Li Yu sat together, with Cheng Pei and Luo Huan opposite them. Liang Tao and Huaming sat together, with Qiu Yihan and He Na opposite them. They politely asked Qiu Yihan and He Na to sit down first, and once the girls were seated, they plopped down opposite them and didn't get up.

So, Luo Huan and Cheng Pei had to sit in front of Tang Zhong. They could tell that these two were interested in their roommates and wanted to help them.

Luo Huan nudged Tang Zhong and whispered, "Aren't you going to compete? Yihan is the new campus beauty, and He Na has many admirers. Such a good opportunity, don't miss it."

Tang Zhong shook his head and teased, "I don't have that kind of luck. They won't fall in love with me."

"Don't be so pessimistic," Cheng Pei said. "I think Yihan is quite special to you."

Tang Zhong smiled, thinking that Qiu Yihan's special treatment was due to their special relationship, not because she had feelings for him.

Moreover, Tang Zhong even doubted that this girl even knew what love was. She was innocent, which also meant she was slow to react.

"Since that's the case, I'll wait until they fail and then I'll try," Tang Zhong said with a smile.

"First come, first served," Cheng Pei said. "You need to be quick and accurate. Don't wait until the beauties are all taken and then regret it."

"How much do you two hate me? You're so eager to push me off," Tang Zhong said with a grievance.

The two women laughed.

Luo Huan said, "If you don't mind, why don't you pursue me?"

"Exactly. I think you're a pretty good guy," Cheng Pei also chimed in.

"You two are so excellent, how can I choose?" Tang Zhong said, feigning difficulty.

So, the three of them burst into laughter.

In this world, besides beauties, there are many ordinary girls. Beauties are flowers, and ordinary girls are also flowers. Flowers need rain to nourish them.

It's just that some people water the flowers of beauty, while Tang Zhong waters the flowers of the ordinary.

"Qiu Yihan, He Na," a surprised male voice called out. "Are you also going to Yvnu Mountain?"

A few boys in sportswear, preparing to cross the aisle, saw Qiu Yihan and He Na sitting by the window and greeted them happily.

"Yes," He Na smiled and nodded. "Are you going too?"

"Yes. They say the scenery at Yvnu Mountain is great and it hasn't been developed yet, so we thought we'd go during the holiday. Once the government develops it, it won't be as interesting," a tall, handsome guy replied with a smile.

He stared intently at Qiu Yihan and said, "Yihan, why didn't you say you were going to Yvnu Mountain when we were taking the list? If I had known, I would have booked the tickets for you."

"I invited some friends to come with me," Qiu Yihan said.

"Friends?" His eyes glanced at Huaming and Liang Tao sitting opposite. Especially when he saw that Liang Tao was a handsome young man, his eyes turned cold, feeling threatened. "I don't recognize them. Are they not from our department?"

PS: Mid-Autumn Festival is over. Everyone can give a little love to Old Liu now.
