Chapter 36 Host

The singing filled the auditorium with its beautiful and melodious tune. Soon, the song reached its final chorus, which was also the most moving, lyrical, and unforgettable part of the entire song.

The evening breeze ruffles the white hair at your temples.
Smooth the scars left by memories
Your eyes, a mixture of light and shadow, bloom with a smile.

Dusk obscures your faltering steps.
Entering the painting hidden by the bedside
You are speaking with your head down in the painting.

. . . . . .

I finally gave my youth back to her.

Along with the summer spouted from fingertips

What the heart desires goes with the wind.
As the song neared its end, Song Ci paused briefly before singing the final line in a dreamlike manner: "In the name of love, are you still willing?"

The song is over!
As all the accompaniment ended, only a spotlight shone on Song Ci, drawing the attention of the entire audience. Song Ci slowly closed her eyes, as if savoring the moment or empathizing with the emotions.

The entire venue was quiet; everyone seemed lost in thought, still reminiscing about the beautiful and moving song!
Suddenly, a shout of "I do!" broke the silence, and the girls in the audience immediately responded with a chorus of "I do!"

At this moment, Song Ci is like a superstar, and no woman can resist his charm.

The boys joined in the commotion, shouting "I do!" which brought the atmosphere in the lecture hall to its peak.

Looking at the radiant Song Ci on the stage, Liu Shishi's eyes shone with love, and she couldn't help but murmur, "Yiyi, I'm willing too, in the name of love!"

After a while, Song Ci opened his eyes, his bright gaze sweeping across the entire audience. The audience in the lecture hall were all looking at him from below the stage, thanking him for his wonderful performance.

Song Ci bowed deeply to everyone, said "thank you," and gracefully turned and left the stage, retreating behind the scenes.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Everyone was clapping, applauding the wonderful performance of Song Ci, applauding the beautiful lyrics, and applauding their own best years of youth.

Song Ci left the stage amidst enthusiastic applause, leaving the audience wanting more. Some even shouted "One more song!" This shows that Song Ci's "The Wind Rises" was truly moving and will undoubtedly become a classic in the history of Peking University's arts performances.

The performance continued, but with the brilliant Song Dynasty poetry preceding it, the subsequent programs paled in comparison and left the audience feeling rather bored.

Lin Hao cursed and swore, "That fourth brother of mine, not only is he handsome, but he's also incredibly talented. How are we supposed to survive?!"

Lu Yugang echoed in a muffled voice, "It really is too much. When we go out with him, the girls don't even look at us properly. Junior brother and sister-in-law, you'd better keep an eye on him and not let him go out and ruin other girls."

Liu Shishi nodded her little head vigorously, but only gave a soft "hmm" sound.

Although her actions were spot-on, her answer sounded somewhat lacking in confidence. After all, she was just a rumored girlfriend, and childhood sweethearts can't control their childhood friends' feelings.

Recalling the fervent look in the eyes of the Peking University girls watching Song Dynasty poetry on the stage just now, one can imagine that after today, some girls will surely launch a fierce pursuit of Song Dynasty poetry.

I'm going to film a movie next month and won't be able to see Song Ci for at least three months. I don't want to do anything before I leave, lest my childhood sweetheart is snatched away by someone else after the movie is finished. If that happens, I'll be devastated and regret it too late.

Shen Sisi is the female host of the gala. Not only is she beautiful, but she has also been an excellent student since childhood. She is a true prodigy.

Always the center of attention, she was typically aloof and indifferent to the men around her, but after watching Song Ci's performance backstage today, she admitted she was moved. After the announcements, Shen Sisi spotted a figure tidying up in a corner backstage. On a sudden inspiration, she tiptoed over.

Shen Sisi's face showed a sly look, and she felt a playful urge to tease someone. So she walked to the left side of his back and gently patted his right shoulder with her small hand to tease him.

Song Ci returned to the backstage area, ignoring the envious, admiring, and jealous looks from the crowd, and began packing her things on her own.

After his performance of "The Wind Rises" ended, the rest of the program had nothing to do with him, and he wasn't interested in the subsequent shows.

It was already 8:30 p.m. Although tomorrow was the National Day holiday, the Beiping Dance Academy had a National Day performance, so he had to hurry and take Shi Ye back to the school's dance dormitory.

Suddenly he felt someone lightly pat his right shoulder, so he turned his head to the right to look, but did not see anyone. Puzzled, he subconsciously turned to the left to look and found a pretty woman standing next to him.

The young woman wore a white off-the-shoulder evening gown, with red lips, white teeth, and a smiling face. She possessed a dignified and elegant demeanor and was a stunningly beautiful woman with a bright and charming appearance.

Seeing Song Ci looking at her, Shen Sisi smiled and said, "Hello, Song Ci, I'm the host, Shen Sisi."

"Hello." Song Ci was sparing with his words, and his response to strangers was as aloof as ever. He wondered why the beautiful host had approached him.

Shen Sisi was a little surprised by Song Ci's indifferent attitude. Shouldn't it be a happy thing to be flirted with by a beautiful woman? The handsome Song Ci is indeed as aloof as rumored!

The men she had met were at least friendly and approachable, if not passionately so, but this was the first time she had encountered such an almost indifferent attitude.

Shen Sisi was momentarily speechless, her usual quick wit gone. After a moment of stunned silence, she finally managed to utter, "The Wind Rises is really nice."

"Thank you!" Song Ci looked at the female host with a puzzled expression, wondering what her purpose was in coming over and saying a few words to her out of the blue.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Since she was about to start the program and host the show, Shen Sisi ignored Song Ci's surprised look and said directly, "Um, Song Ci, would it be convenient to exchange contact information?"

With a glance at Shen Sisi, Song Ci wondered if this girl was there to tease him, but she didn't seem like it. He just felt that the girl in front of him was a bit dull, and she was comparable to Liu Shishi.

Leaving aside the fact that you, as the host, are about to go on stage to host a program, now is not a good time to ask for a number.

Besides, you were wearing an evening gown, without a phone or pen. Even if he gave you his phone number, he didn't believe Shen Sisi had the same photographic memory as him and could remember a phone number of more than ten digits.

"Student Shen, please write this down. My phone number is 1520***644. I have to leave now. Hope we meet again someday."

Song Ci waved her hand, quickly gave out her phone number, and then ignored Shen Sisi. As she walked towards the exit, she took out her phone, found the contact "Shi Bao" (Poetry Treasure) that Shi Shi had changed in her contacts, and sent a message.

Shen Sisi was furious. That damned Song Ci had tricked her. At first, she was annoyed when Song Ci gave her the number. Her phone was in the locker, and she had no other tools to remember Song Ci's number.

This book will be featured in its first round of recommendations tomorrow. Thank you to all the group members, readers, and author friends for your support! And thank you to my operations manager, "After the Rain Comes Sunshine"!
