Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

As Huo Wanxi finished speaking, the stage lights suddenly changed.

Soft pink light bathed the entire stage, as if transporting the audience into a dreamlike world.

The audience below the stage immediately became excited.

Because no one expected that Meng Chuan would actually go on stage to sing.

This also applies to the viewers in Huo Wanxi's live stream.

[Can a top student also sing?]

[He got a perfect score on the college entrance exam, did research during his university studies, and now he's even singing?!]

[Haha, will he be tone-deaf? But if a genius like him sings, I'll listen even if he's off-key.]

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

The number of online users has exceeded 500 million.

And the number is still surging.

At this moment, Huo Wanxi had changed into an adorable cat outfit.

She also wore two fluffy cat ears on her head, making her look playful and sweet.

Meng Chuan, on the other hand, wore a simple white shirt paired with black trousers, which, though simple, made him look exceptionally refreshing.

As the music started, Huo Wanxi swayed gently and hummed along to the rhythm:

"Let's learn to meow together, meow meow meow meow..."

Her voice was sweet and melodious, as if it carried a hint of coquetry.

It instantly captivated the entire audience.

The students in the audience couldn't help but sway gently to the rhythm.

Some people have even started humming along unconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Chuan's voice rang out:

"Let me act cute in front of you, oh meow meow meow meow..."

Meng Chuan's voice is also very clear. Although the lyrics are somewhat "milky," his performance does not seem pretentious at all.

Instead, it possesses a unique charm.

The two voices intertwined, like two cats playing on stage, sweet and heartwarming.

The audience was completely immersed in the atmosphere of the song, and many people took out their phones to record it.

In Huo Wanxi's live stream, the chat exploded instantly:

What song is this? I've never heard it before.

[This sounds so good! My ears are pregnant!]

[XiXi is so cute, MengChuan is so handsome, I'm shipping this couple!]

Wait, did you guys notice? Xixi tried to hold Meng Chuan's hand several times, but Meng Chuan dodged it!

[Haha, the academic genius is shy! How adorable!]

Could this be an original song? I can't find it in my search results.

On stage, Huo Wanxi did indeed try to get close to Meng Chuan several times.

There was even a time when her hand almost touched Meng Chuan's hand.

But Meng Chuan cleverly avoided it.

His movements were natural, as if it were just an unintentional turn, but a hint of disappointment flashed in Huo Wanxi's eyes.

However, she quickly adjusted her emotions and continued to immerse herself in the performance.

As the song reached its climax, the atmosphere in the audience became increasingly enthusiastic, with some even clapping along to the rhythm.

Finally, the song ended with the two singing together.

As the last note faded, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Huo Wanxi's face was filled with a satisfied smile, while Meng Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, we "landed safely".

However, just as Meng Chuan was about to step down, Huo Wanxi suddenly picked up the microphone and said slyly:

"Actually, Meng Chuan also prepared a song, but because I dragged him into a duet, his song was canceled. I wonder if any of you would like to hear Meng Chuan sing a solo?"

The students in the audience were taken aback.

Immediately, it erupted in cheers, with everyone shouting in unison:

"One song! One song!"

Meng Chuan is now a big celebrity, with the ability to command a large following.

Especially knowing that Meng Chuan can sing well, how could anyone refuse him?

Viewers in the live stream chat were flooding the screen with comments, demanding that Meng Chuan sing a song.

Meng Chuan stood somewhat awkwardly on the stage, scratching his head, and said helplessly:

"I... thought the song was canceled, so I didn't prepare any music!"

Meng Chuan was truly unprepared.

Because Dean Zuo Silan said that Meng Chuan only needs to perform one program.

However, there is no rule against singing in a chorus.

Just then, Huo Wanxi asked Meng Chuan to sing "Learn to Meow," so Meng Chuan naturally rejected "Rare Characters."

If he can perform one song, Meng Chuan will absolutely not put in the effort to perform two.

He has no intention of making a debut.

However, Huo Wanxi blinked and said with a smile:

"It's okay, I've prepared it for you. However, the lyrics of Meng Chuan's song are a bit special. In order for everyone to better understand the lyrics, I need to release the lyrics."

As she spoke, she hurriedly ran to the sound engineer standing to the side.

After some communication, the prelude to "Rare Characters" began.

Since things had already come to this, Meng Chuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and sing:

Chinese characters

With a stroke of the brush, a painting is created, capturing the history of five years ago...

It was fine at first, with fairly standard lyrics.

A fairly standard singing style.

Many people even found it strange, saying that there was nothing wrong with the lyrics!

Why is it said to be difficult to understand?

However, when Meng Chuan sang "Again and again, the fire blazes fiercely."

Question marks started appearing in the live stream chat.

What kind of amazing lyrics are these?

Especially during the chorus, when the subtitles start scrolling to:

Alone and isolated, in cahoots, walking alone, suddenly enlightened...

Everyone fell silent, and the live stream room went quiet.

Even Meng Chuan on stage was ignored.

They were all staring intently at the subtitles.

I can't understand the subtitles even though I'm staring at them!

What the heck is this? I don't recognize a single word!

Even though I majored in Chinese Language and Literature, I can't recognize all of them.

Is this the difference between me and academic geniuses?

However, even though they couldn't understand it, everyone could still feel the unique charm of each lyric.

Huo Wanxi stood to the side of the stage, looking at Meng Chuan with tender eyes.

His eyes were full of admiration and appreciation.

She knew how difficult the song was; she had been secretly working on it for two days.

But he still couldn't sing as smoothly as Meng Chuan.

As the song came to a close, the people with yellow skin proudly raised their heads...

A sense of national pride welled up in everyone's hearts.

The entire audience erupted in thunderous applause.

In Huo Wanxi's live stream, the chat was so full that the screen was almost invisible:

[This student is amazing! This song is a masterpiece!]

This is true cultural export!

Meng Chuan's voice is so beautiful, I'm going to listen to it on repeat!

[A genius like him truly lives up to his name; even his singing is so cultured!]

[This song can't be found online either. Did the genius write it himself?]

Meng Chuan stood on the stage, bowed slightly, and smiled faintly as he enjoyed the thunderous applause.

This brought the evening to its biggest climax.

Huo Wanxi, the host, stepped forward with a light smile:

"Meng Chuan, your performance was wonderful! You gave us a visual and auditory feast and allowed us to experience the charm of Chinese characters. Thank you."

Meng Chuan smiled and bowed to the audience again, saying:

"I dare not call it an audio-visual feast. My voice is mainly for participation. I'm sorry to have troubled everyone."

After saying that, Meng Chuan turned around and walked off the stage.

Huo Wanxi watched his retreating figure, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

But he quickly regained his smile and addressed the audience:

"Thank you again for Meng Chuan's wonderful performance! Now that we've finished the song, let's move on to the dance. Let's enjoy the next program, brought to us by Jiang Zhenyu, whom we all know very well... street dance."
