The power went out!

TMD, the power actually went out!

Instantly, everyone was furious.

This is the Mid-Autumn Festival party!

This is the moment when the school beauty, Jiang Miaoyu, was about to sing!

The power actually went out!

After a few seconds of dead silence, the crowd immediately erupted with thunderous complaints, venting their endless anger.

"Damn! Why did the power go out at this time! Is there no humanity at all!"

"The goddess was about to start singing, why did the power go out now! You should have gone out at any other time!"

"What's wrong with the power company? To cut power on the 15th of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival, are they not afraid of public outrage?"

"Give us back our power! I want power! I want to hear Jiang Miaoyu sing!"

...

The angry voices of the crowd grew louder and louder.

The dean, hearing the thunderous angry voices, was taken aback by the momentum and quickly frowned, asking the staff below, "What's going on? Why did the power suddenly go out?"

The staff member hurriedly replied, "The specific situation is unclear right now, but the surrounding neighborhoods are also out. It's not a problem with our circuit breaker or a short circuit. I'll go check immediately!"

After saying that, he hurriedly left.

After the staff member left, the dean stood up. He felt it was necessary to step in and calm the crowd's emotions at this moment. Otherwise, if something really happened, he would be held responsible.

At this moment, Jiang Miaoyu spoke on stage.

"Please calm down everyone."

Even though she shouted, compared to the angry shouts of the entire crowd, it was like a pebble thrown into the sea, not causing a single ripple.

"Please calm down everyone!"

"Please calm down everyone!"

Jiang Miaoyu anxiously shouted three times on stage, but no one responded to her.

This made her extremely anxious.

At this moment, a voice like a thunderclap suddenly echoed over the playground.

"Jiang Miaoyu asks everyone to calm down!"

Instantly, all the voices were suppressed.

The one who spoke was Fang Qiu. Others didn't hear Jiang Miaoyu's voice, but he heard it clearly.

So he spoke.

However, he didn't let anyone know it was him. He changed his voice and made it sound as if it came from the sky.

No one knew it was him.

The crowd, already agitated, immediately quieted down upon hearing that the school beauty asked everyone to calm down.

They looked at Jiang Miaoyu's silhouette, illuminated by the moonlight, which was filled with a hazy beauty.

The dean also breathed a sigh of relief and sat down, feeling deeply moved.

It seems this is still a world that values appearance!

"Thank you everyone!"

Jiang Miaoyu bowed slightly and then said as loudly as possible, "I will sing the original version of 'Yilian' by Cai Chunjia. I wonder if any of the students who performed instruments earlier are familiar with this song and can accompany me?"

However, no one responded.

Clearly, no one knew the song.

Li Qingshi was good at the guitar. He really wanted to go on stage and accompany his goddess, but he was completely unfamiliar with this song.

"Then I will sing it a cappella."

Just as Jiang Miaoyu finished speaking, a sudden voice rang out from the crowd.

"Fang Qiu!"

Fang Qiu was taken aback by this.

But everyone present was indeed pleasantly surprised.

Right!

Fang Qiu!

His performance just now was truly stunning. If he knew this song and accompanied Jiang Miaoyu, it would be a perfect match, a strong collaboration!

"Fang Qiu! Fang Qiu!"

The crowd suddenly started cheering.

Many people looked at the location of the third-year Traditional Chinese Medicine class.

The entire college looked at the third-year class, and the third-year class collectively looked at Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu looked around, bewildered.

He couldn't understand how everyone's thinking was so unique that they could think of him!

On stage, Jiang Miaoyu looked expectantly at the spot where she remembered Fang Qiu was and asked, "Fang classmate, do you know how to play 'Yilian'?"

Below the stage, Li Qingshi looked nervously at the third-year class.

He really didn't want Fang Qiu to know this song.

If he really did, it would greatly increase his impression in Jiang Miaoyu's mind.

But Fang Qiu nodded and said, "Yes."

Although his voice was not loud, everyone in the scene heard it clearly.

"Can Fang classmate accompany me?"

Jiang Miaoyu asked, both happy and expectant.

Sun Hao and Zhou Xiaotian sharply turned to look at Fang Qiu, their eyes sharp.

Their gaze clearly said, "If you dare to refuse, I'll definitely kill you."

Under everyone's gaze, Fang Qiu slowly stood up and walked to the stage with a smile.

"It's an honor."

"Clap, clap, clap, clap~"

Seeing Fang Qiu walk to the stage, the crowd immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.

Li Qingshi's heart sank, a bad feeling spreading throughout his body, feeling somewhat bitter.

Liu Feifei, however, was happy for Fang Qiu.

You really have it in you.

It seems today is destined to be your moment to shine!

Fang Qiu came to the stage and directly leaped onto the 1.5-meter-high stage.

Because it was dark, no one saw Fang Qiu's movements clearly. They only felt he suddenly appeared on the stage, slightly surprised by how he did it.

Jiang Miaoyu, however, saw it more clearly and was somewhat surprised by Fang Qiu's jumping ability.

"Thank you, Fang classmate."

After the surprise, she bowed politely in gratitude.

"You're welcome."

Fang Qiu also bowed slightly in return.

"Then I'll leave the accompaniment to you, Fang classmate."

Jiang Miaoyu looked at Fang Qiu and thanked him.

Under the bright moonlight, both could clearly see each other's expressions.

"No problem."

Fang Qiu said, "Let's start."

"Okay!"

Jiang Miaoyu turned to face the audience and said, "Please enjoy the song 'Yilian' performed by me and Fang Qiu. The sound might be a bit low, so please bear with us."

"No problem!"

Many people in the audience responded.

Jiang Miaoyu smiled slightly and nodded at Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu understood and placed his hands together in front of his mouth.

Under the bright moonlight, the two stood quietly, like a beautiful painting.

A beautiful melody slowly flowed from between Fang Qiu's fingers.

It was the same prelude as before the power went out. Although it was played by different instruments, the hand flute sounded very pleasant.

Jiang Miaoyu's beautiful voice also rang out at the right moment.

"Yilian, sitting beside me."

"Thick thoughts, spreading with the moonlight."

Although only two lines were sung, it immediately stunned the entire crowd.

It was so beautiful!

The school beauty could sing so well!

Not at all inferior to professional singers!

And it complemented Fang Qiu's accompaniment perfectly.

It added a sense of ethereal beauty!

Their cooperation was almost perfect!

Although the audience wanted to praise and cheer for Jiang Miaoyu and Fang Qiu, they all tacitly remained silent. Once they made a sound, they would miss the beautiful singing, so no one spoke, just listening quietly.

At this moment, some students took out their phones, lit the screens, and waved them silently.

More and more students joined in, and soon the entire playground became a sea of light.

It was like fireflies in the night sky, very spectacular and eye-catching.

Fang Qiu didn't expect Jiang Miaoyu to sing so beautifully, especially her clear and flawless voice, which made the song full of warm and touching power.

The performance continued.

"Yilian, following beside you."

"Seeing your smile, kissing your lips."

"If love is a swing."

"You are my starting point."

With Jiang Miaoyu's singing,

Everyone's lips involuntarily curled into a smile.

They seemed to see a girl in white sitting on a swing, gently swinging, a pure crush from their middle school days or a young self in love.

I just want to be by your side, and you are my starting point.

"Yilian, a stack of yesterday."

"Your apologies, I wish I hadn't heard."

"Yilian, a wire."

"Only receiving the past, memories of the past."

"Without you, how can I perform."

"Those you, said forever."

Young love is always fragile, and eternal promises are easily apologized for.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh for their past lost love.

A bitter taste rose in their hearts.

Who doesn't dream in their youth?

Who doesn't have her in their dreams?

"Yilian, let it be."

"After all, I had you for a while."

"Perhaps, separation is a kind of, so-called fulfillment!"

"Love, I will keep in my heart."

"Some things have no deadline."

Yes!

Everyone thought.

Perhaps separation is a kind of fulfillment, after all, I had you for a while, and that's enough.

I will keep my love in my heart forever, with no deadline, until eternity.

No matter where you are, at the ends of the earth or the corners of the sea.

You will always be in my heart.

Singing to this point, Jiang Miaoyu, under the surprised gazes of the crowd, gestured to Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu was clearly taken aback by this gesture.

What does this mean?

Is he supposed to sing?

Wasn't he just supposed to accompany?

Why did it suddenly change to a duet?

Fang Qiu didn't have time to think much and immediately started singing a cappella.

"Yilian, a wire."

"Only receiving the past, memories of the past."

"Without you, how can I perform."

"Those you, said forever."

Wow!

The entire crowd was stunned!

He really made them kneel with his voice!

What surprised them most was that this guy's singing was no less impressive than Jiang Miaoyu's!

His magnetic voice, compared to Jiang Miaoyu's interpretation of a girl's whispers, sounded more like a young man's free-spirited confession.

This guy's hand flute skills were already impressive, and his singing was also amazing. This is not letting others live!

Liu Feifei didn't know how to evaluate Fang Qiu at this moment.

This guy wasn't just hiding his abilities; he was hiding a big fish in deep water!

If she knew Fang Qiu could sing so well, she would have signed him up for two performances!

Li Qingshi's face turned grim.

Fang Qiu was even more outstanding than he imagined, and he felt a sense of pressure.

Jiang Miaoyu, with her beautiful eyes, looked at Fang Qiu in surprise. She never expected him to sing so well.

Actually, her original intention was to have Fang Qiu play a solo on the hand flute, which would complement her previous singing.

She didn't expect Fang Qiu to misunderstand and start singing a cappella.

But the a cappella effect was even better than the solo!

"Yilian, let it be."

"After all, I had you for a while."

Although there was no accompaniment, it didn't affect the audience's enjoyment.

It was simply beautiful.

It turns out that a cappella can also be so beautiful!
