Chapter 36: A Heart-stirring Song

"As You Wish" is an original song by Jiang Xun from Class 3, Grade 12.
Almost everyone thought they had misheard, and even the host himself doubted whether there was a problem with the introduction.

The introductions are prepared by the performers themselves; the hosts don't read them beforehand and only familiarize themselves with them twice before going on stage.

Not to mention the others, even Yang Kaiyi, one of the performers, looked at Jiang Xun with surprise.

"Calm down, it's about to begin." Jiang Xun smiled slightly at Yang Kaiyi and said in a low voice.

Yang Kaiyi quickly composed herself and focused on the upcoming performance.

But recalling the lyrics and melody of the song made her feel even more incredulous.

Such a beautiful and touching song, and it was actually written by Jiang Xun herself? No wonder I couldn't find it online.

Apart from Yang Kaiyi, everyone present was shocked to varying degrees.

Jiang Xun's name was so well-known at No. 1 High School. He was the school's heartthrob, a top student, and a basketball prodigy. These accolades made him shine like the sun.

Now they're saying he can write songs?

Although people have doubts about the quality of the song, the fact that he was able to write it and perform it in public is already astonishing.

At this moment, Chen Shixuan, who had returned to her seat in Class 3, glared angrily at Jiang Xun on the stage, having already cursed him a hundred times in her heart as a 'dog of a man'.

He wrote the song himself, but instead of asking me to sing it, he asked Yang Kaiyi to sing it. What do I have that I can't compare to her?
Chen Shixuan felt a sense of injustice she had never felt before. She was the one who first asked him to sign up in order to help him, so why wouldn't he sing a duet with her?

If Jiang Xun knew what she was thinking, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged.

It was Yang Kaiyi who suggested it; he just suddenly remembered this song.

The intro to the song had already begun, instantly silencing the noisy playground.

Everyone pricked up their ears, eager to hear what Jiang Xun's songs were like.

The piano melody flows like a babbling brook, meandering through the tranquility. Each note seems to strike the heart and lungs, evoking the softest resonance within.

Then the strings slowly join in, like a gentle breeze rippling across a lake, building up the emotions layer by layer.

At that moment, everyone, whether they understood music or not, fell silent.

The catchy intro alone doesn't sound like something a high school student could write.

At this moment, Jiang Xun's deep and slightly hoarse voice rang out on the stage, instantly pausing the entire campus.

Everyone looked at the stage, their expressions identical—shocked and stunned.

You are the light on the long road, in the thick fog of the mountains.

I am a child, walking in your eyes.

Although Jiang Xun's singing skills are only at a beginner level, they are already considered top-notch in this kind of amateur activity.

Furthermore, his voice had been optimized through the increase in his charm value, and when he opened his mouth, it made everyone's soul tremble.

Especially the soft melody and moving lyrics, even just the first line, make you forget to breathe.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Kaiyi's soft voice, like the gentle dialect of Wu, rang out—

You are the bright moon and gentle breeze, and I am the dream you cherish.

Whether we meet or not, it's still a lifetime; I'll embrace you~

Her voice was like the rising sun, warm and full of hope, captivating everyone who heard it.

Then came the chorus, where male and female voices intertwined, like a gentle breeze in the mountains, both tender and firm.

And I will love the world you love, and wish you the smiles you desire.

I'm holding your hand, stumbling along; please take me to tomorrow.

If you have ever tasted bitterness that I have tasted sweetness, I am willing to live out your wishes.

May our efforts not be in vain, may we forge ahead bravely, every single day of this prosperous age.

At that moment, the stage lights suddenly turned on, as if illuminating everyone's hearts and conveying a sense of power and hope.

Everyone on the playground held their breath, staring blankly at the stage, at the two seemingly radiant teenagers, even forgetting to applaud.

As the gentle interlude played, Jiang Xun and Yang Kaiyi walked forward, their steps firm and their smiles tender. Yang Kaiyi picked up the microphone, and her warm voice rang out again—

You are the sky where sparks ignite in the long river of time.

I am someone who looks up to you, so I will sing your praises in a song.

Jiang Xun then sang:

You are where I came from, and where my heart belongs.

All the paths in this world will lead to you.

The two sang together again:

And I will love the world you love, and wish you the smiles you desire.

I'm holding your hand, stumbling along; please take me to tomorrow.

If you have ever tasted bitterness that I have tasted sweetness, I am willing to live out your wishes.

May our efforts not be in vain, may we forge ahead bravely, every single day of this prosperous age.

At this moment, their voices suddenly became louder, as if their emotions were exploding instantly.

The mountains and rivers are safe and sound, the fireworks are as usual, but your long-awaited gaze is now fulfilled.

My children, sleep peacefully in your dreams, just as you loved them.

Upon hearing these two lines of lyrics, everyone trembled as if struck by lightning—

That wasn't a skillful display of technique, but a scream that felt like your internal organs had been ripped open.

This lyric not only expresses a longing for a peaceful life, but also conveys a beautiful wish for the future.

However, before the audience could even release their emotions, an even more intense chorus of male and female voices spiraled together—

And I will dream of the reunion you dream of, and wish for your desire to last forever.

I'll walk the long road you've walked, and that's how I love you~

I too will see the world you have never seen, and write the poems you have never written.

The moon in the sky, the longing in my heart, you will always be by my side.

[I promise you, a lifetime of purity, like your youthful face~~]

The music gradually subsided as the singing deepened, and the boys on stage held hands and looked at each other with happy, warm smiles on their faces.

Like flowers blooming in the sunshine after weathering storms, warm and full of hope.

Throughout the performance, their eye contact and emotional expression appeared very natural and genuine.

It was as if they were truly telling a story about love and inheritance.

The audience felt warmth and strength in their songs, as if they were also transported into a world full of hope.

The entire audience remained silent for several seconds until the song completely ended, after which thunderous cheers and applause erupted.

Some of the more emotional students even had tears in their eyes, or were already in tears.

Everyone was moved by the song and deeply touched by the voices of the two boys on stage.

Without a doubt, this is a song of great artistic value, full of power, warmth and hope.

And it came from that eighteen-year-old boy on stage!

Yang Huimin, standing in the far corner of the crowd, stared blankly at the stage, her eyes filled with a complex expression.

She once hoped he would become more outstanding and that he would go out into the world.

But she didn't expect him to be so outstanding, so outstanding that he was about to soar to great heights.
