Chapter 234: Because I Look at You Twice in a Crowd

Chapter 234

Su Li leaned over to request a song.

Seeing Li Weijin ordering a drink surprised her and made her ponder. Normally, it was rare to see the young master so proactive. Among their group of friends, Li Weijin was known as the aloof little prince, so why was he being so enthusiastic in class?

In the afternoon, she went to listen to a speech competition and was startled to see her aunt-in-law. She shrank back into the corner.

She was quite afraid of her aunt-in-law. If she were caught, she would definitely receive a lecture. Fortunately, she wasn't discovered, or if she was, her aunt-in-law never showed any closeness towards her in public, nor did she call her specifically.

Her English was actually quite good, considering she had been abroad several times. But when it came to speeches, she felt silly. However, after seeing Su Xiaoqi's speech, she thought she was pretty impressive.

Su Xiaoqi, this person... She initially thought she might be like Chu Yu and those types—looking delicate and weak, which she didn't particularly like. But time and time again, she proved to be unexpected.

She had a dull afternoon and finally made it outside. At this moment, she really wanted to relax.

She usually loved to have fun and had an outgoing and generous personality. She quickly selected several songs.

Holding the microphone, she confidently took the stage, not feeling shy at all, as if she had become a karaoke queen.

The first song was "Itchy." She sat on the stage with a microphone stand, displaying a powerful aura and singing impressively. The atmosphere instantly became lively.

Fruit platters, snacks, and grilled meat were brought out one after another. The waiters also served them.

Xiao Qi was really hungry.

By this point, she was famished and exhausted. The previous speech she prepared was more tiring than running thirty thousand steps. It finally concluded, and she felt completely drained.

She wasn't talkative.

Mier had a lively personality. When she first arrived, she felt a bit restrained, but she quickly became free and mingled with the boys.

Wei Cheng actively helped Xiao Qi get drinks and food, but Xiao Qi didn't wait for Wei Cheng and took matters into her own hands.

She first grabbed a main dish, egg fried rice...

There was no other choice. The immense mental exertion was also exhausting.

Moreover, she had reviewed her high school habit of feeling nervous and needing to use the restroom. Now, she felt quite exhausted.

Xiao Qi summarized that her first-place ranking in the school speech competition had a large element of luck. After all, Enhua's new students generally didn't have exceptional grades. If they were outstanding, they wouldn't have been admitted to Enhua.

Also, not all participants in the competition were necessarily strong in English. Some people might have excellent English skills but were unaware of this competition or had other commitments. Such possibilities existed.

It could only be said that her victory was relative to the competition.

However, she wouldn't be as fortunate when she went to Qingmeng University to participate in the competition. There, she would be up against the elites from various schools. Compared to those outstanding students from prestigious universities, her own abilities would probably only place her at the bottom.

Xiao Qi ate her egg fried rice heartily, digesting the fact that she had won first place in the school's speech competition.

Indeed, she was still a cautious person from a small town, always feeling uneasy about taking advantage of others for no reason.

Luckily, she had money.

She wouldn't feel indebted to others for such a small bill, thinking that she was inferior to them for no reason.

Returning to the private room, the atmosphere was still lively. The air conditioner was turned up high, but with so many people, it still felt hot, filled with excitement.

In the dormitory, Lian Yunshu was dragged by Mi'er to go singing. Lian Yunshu appeared quiet outside, but unexpectedly, the songs she sang were bold and incredibly pleasant, earning resounding applause.

Wei Cheng, on the other hand, was quite the opposite. He was tall and his singing showcased a tender and delicate demeanor.

His voice was gentle, completely contrasting his appearance.

Someone instigated and urged Young Master Li Weijin to go on stage and sing.

To everyone's surprise, Li Weijin actually went up on stage, hopping on one leg, clumsily but adorably.

He wore exceptionally clean and brand-new clothes, like the cutest kid in kindergarten, and when Xiao Qi saw him on stage, she had a particularly sunny smile.

Suddenly, she couldn't help but think that he would cry if he scraped his hand... It seemed quite amusing.

Li Weijin took the microphone and wiped it first before speaking, "Congratulations to our Study Committee for winning first place in the English speech contest. My singing is just average, so I'll pick a random song."

To everyone's surprise, he chose Wang Fei's "Legend."

Wang Fei's songs are highly recognizable and challenging to sing.

Xiao Qi thought it was quite difficult to sing beautifully, especially for a male singer.

"Just because I happened to look at you a little longer in the crowd, I couldn't forget your face anymore... From then on, I began to feel lonely and miss you. When I think of you, you are on the horizon, in front of my eyes, in my mind, and in my heart..."

Accompanied by the background music, a clear and clean male voice resounded from the microphone, unexpectedly pleasant to the ears.

"... I would rather believe that we had an agreement in our past life, and the love story of this lifetime will not change. I would rather spend my whole life waiting for you to discover that I have always been by your side, never far away."

A very handsome young man sang such a song, and it inexplicably felt visually appealing. No wonder the whole nation is obsessed with young idols. When this song is sung by Wang Fei, it evokes countless memories and stories, stirring the depths of one's heart. But when it is sung by a clean and handsome young man, the first thought that comes to mind is, "I wish that girl were me. If only it were me."

The venue became much quieter, and Su Li gazed intently at Li Weijin.

She really liked him.

In a corner, Chu Yu held a bottle of drink, not drinking, with a smile on her lips, looking very ladylike.

Xiao Qi was drinking water and when she looked up and saw Li Weijin looking at her, she almost choked on the water... Quickly, she lowered her head.

"I would rather believe that we had an agreement in our past life, and the love story of this lifetime will not change. I would rather spend my whole life waiting for you to discover that I have always been by your side, never far away."
