America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 74 I am a singer, not a magician

Squeezing through the bustling crowd and walking on the way to the stage, Li Xiaoen tried to submit a system bet.

[Bet submission: I dare to perform alone and delay the time.]

"..."

[The bet is established]

[The host can perform on stage alone and shock the audience. ]

[Successful bet reward: 1 car toy of your choice]

[Self-selected car toy: After use, the host can choose a car toy, ignore all obstacles, and obtain its ownership]

【Whether to accept? 】

Sure enough, only the submission system of this kind of bet will be accepted, Li Xiaoen complained in his heart, he had already grasped some of the rules of the system - when he was a child, he really longed for this scene of appearing in front of people.

Unable to help but blush, Li Xiaoen noticed the reward again.

Toy?

Can I change it?

He kept complaining in his mind, but the system didn't respond at all. Li Xiaoen sighed, took on the task, and put away the light curtain.

Now that he had arrived at the stage, there was no time for him to think about it.

The lights on the stage were very bright, but it was not until he walked to the center of the stage alone that Li Xiaoen suddenly realized how spacious the stage was - even though he had performed in a play on stage in high school.

He stood firm, turned his head and looked at the densely packed audience seats. After the noisy noise gradually died down, Li Xiaoen opened his mouth. Unfortunately, because there was no microphone, only he could hear what he said. He looked around in confusion.

This was the first time tonight that such a scene was seen. The entire audience suddenly fell silent, all eyes fixed on the tall and straight young man on the stage.

No, I didn’t bring the microphone. Go back and get it. Where can I find it here?
Everyone frowned unconsciously, feeling more and more that this was a farce.

Ignoring everyone's gaze focused on him, Li Xiaoen suddenly realized something and reached out to touch the guitar hanging on his shoulder. Under everyone's puzzled gaze, he slowly pulled out a black microphone from the flat panel in front of him and held it in his hand.

When the whole audience fell into a dead silence, Li Xiaoen patted the microphone in front of him, and a dull sound came from the speakers of the entire auditorium. Then he nodded with satisfaction.

"Ahem...Good evening, everyone."

Li Xiaoen greeted the audience with a smile, and a second later, the audience burst into cheers of amazement.

"This guy really knows how to play tricks on people!"

Seeing the arms raised in applause in the audience, Victoria finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the young man in the center of the stage and couldn't help but curse in anger.

“That’s just the way he is.”

Sufeil also exhaled and shook his head helplessly, "It has always been him who teased others, never others teased him."

"Um……"

After the cheers died down a bit, Li Xiaoen spoke again, "We were originally supposed to play one song with four people, but something unexpected happened. Now I'm here to buy time and sing a simple song."

After saying that, Li Xiaoen took away the microphone in front of him, and then he found that the bracket supporting the microphone was missing.

Li Xiaoen lowered his head, reached out and touched the guitar, then looked at the audience in confusion. This time, everyone in the audience looked at him with expectant eyes.

Spreading his hands, Li Xiaoen turned and walked to the edge of the stage. Just when everyone was disappointed, they saw that after Li Xiaoen left, he left a long bracket behind him.

Everyone knew that this bracket was not originally on the stage, and the audience burst into warm cheers again.

"This magic show is much better than the first one!"

"Yeah, yeah, the emotional performance was spot on. I'm really curious, how did he get such a long stand onto the field?" "Even though I couldn't see the boy's face clearly from so far away, I think he's so handsome..."

Hearing the exclamations coming from all around, Victoria and Sufei looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Amidst cheers, Li Xiaoen came back and brought the stand to the front of the stage with the microphone fixed on it.

"Okay, we have the stand, let's start singing."

Li Xiaoen spoke into the microphone, but seeing everyone staring at him expectantly, he couldn't help but explain with a smile, "I really am a singer, not a magician."

Everyone in the audience was skeptical, and Li Xiaoen didn't say much. He just plucked the strings with his fingers, and a light beat sounded.

There was no other accompaniment, just a guitar, but it didn't matter, he was just here to delay time.

“It’s the song Why Baby Why!”

A familiar classmate in the audience opened his eyes wide and exclaimed.

Just when everyone realized what was happening, the young man on the stage spoke, and a rhythmic, lazy, yet magnetic singing voice came from the surrounding speakers.

"What do you mean, god gave me two left feet...Shooting me glares from the passenger seat..."

"Come on, baby, we got all dressed up...Won't you dance with me..."

After just a short song, everyone was stunned and stared at the young man playing the guitar and singing on the stage.

He stood very relaxed and comfortable, as if he was not on the stage, but enjoying the leisure and comfort alone in his own room. Every move of his fingers brought out a light rhythm, and every time he opened his mouth with a smile, it was a lazy and pleasant song.

The most important thing is that even on the stage the young man is not afraid at all. He seems to be playing and singing on his own. His relaxed and casual posture shows his free and easy and confident nature to the fullest.

Everyone was stunned.

"This song... really suits him."

Looking at the young man who was the focus of everyone's attention on the stage and hearing the somewhat provocative singing in her ears, Victoria couldn't help but sigh and smiled with her lips pursed.

Is this a romantic poet?

She suddenly remembered what Li Xiaoen had said to her before, and suddenly noticed the gaze of the young man on the stage, and his singing followed.

"Why baby why and you give me trouble?"

"I'm trying to hide as not to be seen..."

Victoria took a deep breath and rolled her eyes. "You're teasing me at a time like this, you scoundrel..."

Sufeil glanced sideways at Victoria and saw a visible blush on her fair cheek. He looked up at the elegant and free-spirited young man on the stage again and couldn't help but take a long breath.

The young man looked in her direction, but she was sure that he was not looking at her.

Sufeil felt a little blocked in her heart. She didn't think and didn't dare to believe that the young man would look at her with the same eyes as now.

As the song started, Li Xiaoen noticed Meng Yufan holding a bag in a corner. He smiled, opened his arms, and bowed to the audience.

"Okay, the delay is over. Our team of four still has half a song left, so stay tuned..."

After saying that, Li Xiaoen turned around and walked towards Daniel and the other two who were hiding behind the curtain at the side of the stage, as well as the senior student in charge of the party.

"Do you think there's still time?"

Seeing Li Xiaoen take the transmission line and quickly hand it to Malcolm, the senior student in charge's face darkened.

"Is our time up?" Li Xiaoen was stunned.
