Eight years ago, there was a campus singing competition at Yuezhou University. This matter had nothing to do with Li Zhen, who was already a first-year graduate student. It was just that his roommate Yao Guang took on the job of on-site lighting and network, but on the day of the competition he had something else to do and temporarily threw it to him.

On the night of the competition, a male and a female host interacted with the audience and talked about the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" sung by the previous contestant. Then the female host began to introduce the next contestant.

"Contestant No. 9 said that she fell in love with Yuecheng after coming here to study. She met some great people and ate some delicious food, but she couldn't learn Cantonese no matter how hard she tried. So she sang a song from her hometown for everyone and showed everyone how delicious Sichuan hotpot is, which is just as delicious as Chaozhou hotpot."

As she said this, a staff member on the sidelines kept gesturing to her to stop, and whispered, "Number nine is not here yet, next one! Next one!"

However, the hosts were all immersed in the lively atmosphere. After the hostess finished speaking, the host enthusiastically took over and said, "Now, please invite No. 9 Lin Weiwei to take us to the streets of Chengdu!"

After saying this, the male and female hosts turned around at the same time and headed towards the main entrance for the contestants to appear, but there was only the director covering his head and shouting at them frantically: "Number nine is not here..."

"Number nine is here!" a girl shouted from the audience.

Li Zhen was sitting in the staff seat next to the stage at this time. Because he was close, he could see the whole thing clearly.

It was clearly seen that the girl who called herself contestant number nine had long hair dyed light pink with blue highlights. Her hair was braided into two loose ponytails that fell on her chest. In the evening breeze, a few strands of hair flamboyantly and playfully brushed across her face with exquisite makeup.

The facial features on her face were three-dimensional and deep, especially her tall and straight nose. Under her long eyebrows were a pair of clear and bright eyes. Her red lips made her look delicate and confident when she spoke, and her appearance was between heroic and seductive.

She was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt that exposed her navel, and even though she was wearing a pair of loose jeans, her legs looked straight and long, and her waist looked even more slender and soft.

The diamond earrings on her ears reflected the light, and the bracelet on her wrist and the ring on her index finger were all shining as brightly as she was. Yes, this girl was dazzlingly beautiful from head to toe.

The only thing hanging around her neck was a necklace made of fresh white magnolia flowers.

During the campus singing competition, all departments of the school held charity sales. When Li Zhen entered the venue, he happened to see flower necklaces on the charity sales stand of the Horticulture Department, each string costing fifteen yuan.

Of course, the point is not the flowers or the necklace, but the fact that it is a bit unreasonable for No. 9, who is already late for the competition, to have time to buy these things.

But even though it was so unreasonable that No. 9 was rushed to the stage by the working group, the audience, especially the boys, didn't care about the little accident that the contestant was almost late. Because of No. 9's outstanding appearance, before he even started singing, some boys shouted, "I voted for No. 9!"

The audience immediately burst into the kind of joy that only youth can get from a campus.

Number Nine didn't mind the commotion at all. He held the microphone and smiled generously, following the atmosphere and said with ease: "It doesn't matter whether you vote for Number Nine or not. Please give me a round of applause first, because I want to take this opportunity tonight to confess my love to the person I like!"

The audience was quiet for a while, and then applause and cheers broke out simultaneously.

In the heated atmosphere, No. 9 raised the magnolia necklace and said, "Just now, a classmate from the horticulture major told me that the flower language of magnolia is confession and loyalty, so..."

She paused and glanced at the audience.

It’s no wonder Li Zhen thought too much, because she suddenly looked over here and her eyes met his.

But it was too fast, because a girl in the audience loudly asked No. 9: "So you want to throw magnolias to the person you like?"

Number Nine looked at the girl who had spoken and answered loudly, "Exactly."

"Wow! Number Nine is driving me crazy!" The girls started to get excited. "That's so cool! I support Number Nine!"

And the way No. 9 responded to the girl who supported her was to raise her hand holding the magnolia necklace and shouted: "Then I will sing a song "First Love" for him!"

Then it was the working group's turn to go crazy. It was okay for Number Nine to be late, and it was also okay to use the competition as a confession, but why did they change the song without permission?

But the atmosphere was brought here, and the person in charge of the music of the competition hurriedly came on stage and asked, "Which first love song is it?" Number Nine told him, and he ran off the stage and shouted, "Lin Zhimei's first love accompaniment, hurry up!"

"Okay, okay." The girl in charge of recording quickly searched for the accompaniment. As the prelude started, she suddenly thought of something and turned to ask the person in charge, "Doesn't No. 9 Lin Weiwei know Cantonese?"

The person in charge was also stunned for a moment, then waved his hand indifferently: "Who cares whether he can speak Cantonese or not? This contestant just ignored the rules and confessed his love."

As soon as the person in charge finished speaking, contestant number nine's singing began to sound along with the music:

I have no experience in love, I discovered it today

See him from afar

That happiness is so fresh

I couldn't sleep all night and the shadow appeared in my heart

Why meet him?

Beautiful impression like first love

Silently looking is silently looking at that gaze like lightning

That moment of contact has turned me upside down...

After hearing this, not only the music director and the working group, even the audience gradually quieted down, because contestant number nine's pronunciation, voice, and singing skills were good enough to participate in the National Singer Competition, let alone the Campus Singer Competition.

But just when everyone's attention was diverted to her singing skills, contestant number nine suddenly took off the magnolia necklace from her neck and threw it to the audience.

Li Zhen, who was paying attention to the lights of the stadium, noticed something coming towards him. He only had time to reach out to take it instinctively, and then the magnolia necklace, which symbolized confession and eternal love, fell right into his hands.

When the whole audience went from silence to shouting and boiling again, No. 9 on the stage looked at Li Zhen arrogantly and continued to sing:

I look forward to meeting him every minute

Silently waiting and never complaining

I long to see him every minute.

Met Yile on the road for a few days

A light feeling floats above

A lovely first love

That night, contestant number nine, Lin Weiwei, and her song "First Love" won both the judges' scores and the audience's votes, winning the championship of that campus singing competition.

After the competition, contestant number nine came to Li Zhen and the first thing he said to him was: "Senior Li Zhen, my name is not Lin Weiwei, my name is Lu Xingchen, I like you, can I pursue you?"

He replied: "No."

She asked: "Why?"

He said, “I don’t like you.”

She hummed and said, "That's right. After all, you will love me very much in the future."

For many years afterwards, every year when the white magnolia flowers bloomed in Yuecheng, or even when he went to other cities and smelled their fragrance, Li Zhen would feel inexplicably dizzy.

It is not the season for magnolia flowers to bloom, and the person singing "First Love" in the box has nothing to do with him, but the faint fragrance that makes him dizzy can still be smelled in his nose.

He didn't like magnolia flowers, nor did he like their smell, but they followed him like a shadow.

The song is over.

There was applause everywhere, and the people in the private room praised Su Wanyi's singing.

The memories that were as noisy as thunder in Li Zhen's mind also dissipated.

Jiang Haicheng suddenly kicked him and said with a double meaning, "Boss Li is listening so intently. It seems that he is also very interested in our sister Wanyi's singing."

Su Wanyi blushed when she heard this, but she did not interrupt Jiang Haicheng's teasing of Li Zhen.

But before Li Zhen could say anything, Yang Liuqing suddenly said, "What a coincidence, Lu Xingchen sang this song "First Love" when he confessed his love to Li Zhen."
