The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 203 was supposed to be a blunder, but it really turned into a clown act.
Looking at Ruan Liuzheng in front of him, Yang Muye couldn't help but think of Jiang Nansun, who was also in Shanghai.

Previously, Zhu Suosuo was asked to persuade Jiang Nansun to play the female lead in the short film "Old Boys," but there has been no response yet.

I need to find some time to urge them.

After Ruan Liuzheng and Tan Ya finished looking at the photos, Cheng Yun waved goodbye to everyone with her camera in hand and left.

Back in her seat, Cheng Yun was fiddling with her camera, looking through the group photos from earlier, when a voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"What are you looking at?"

"ah!"

Cheng Yun clutched her chest and looked up in astonishment.

Seeing that it was Song Dizhi, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing? You scared me to death!"

"Miss, your drink!"

Song Dizhi placed a glass of juice in front of Cheng Yun.

"I didn't order this."

"I'm treating you to a drink."

Song Dizhi curiously leaned closer, and upon seeing the photos on Cheng Yun's camera, he excitedly exclaimed:

"You, Cheng Yun, I specially switched shifts with a colleague to bring you a drink, but you prioritize your boyfriend over your friend, secretly taking pictures with a handsome guy behind my back, and it was the handsome guy I liked first!"

Cheng Yun quickly pulled Song Dizhi aside and explained to her how she met Yang Muye.

After hearing this, Song Dizhi's eyes lit up.

I never expected that my idol would be the same age as me and so talented.

I love it! I love it!
Seeing Song Dizhi start to swoon again, Cheng Yun kindly reminded her not to forget that she was still at work.

Before leaving, Song Dizhi held Cheng Yun's hand and asked, "You've all taken photos together, have you exchanged contact information?"

"I didn't get his phone number, but I did get his QQ number," Cheng Yun replied.

She had promised Yang Muyi that she would send him the group photo online.

Song Dizhi happily hugged Cheng Yun and kissed her on the cheek.

"What are you doing?"

Cheng Yun covered her face and glared at Song Dizhi with annoyance.

"Remember to send me your QQ number later."

Song Di waved to Cheng Yun and turned to leave.

Fangirl syndrome!
Cheng Yun muttered a curse.

Just then, a man wearing stylish black-rimmed glasses walked into the bar.

Upon seeing the man, Cheng Yun immediately stood up from her seat and waved frantically in his direction.

The man's name is Xu Qifei. He is a director and also owns his own film and television company.

Cheng Yun met Xu Qifei on the plane to Shanghai for school.

At first, Xu Qifei only thought Cheng Yun was good-looking and sweet-looking, which is why he took the initiative to start a conversation.

Upon learning that Cheng Yun was a freshman in the Chinese Department of Southeast University, Xu Qifei immediately asked Cheng Yun for her contact information.

Xu Qifei took the initiative to ask Cheng Yun to meet him tonight.

As soon as Xu Qifei sat down, he explained to Cheng Yun, "I'm sorry, I was delayed on the way. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long?"

Cheng Yun shook her head, indicating that she had just arrived as well.

Moreover, the University of Tokyo isn't far from this bar.

"Mr. Xu, is there something you want to discuss with me?"

Just as Xu Qifei was about to explain his purpose, the music in the bar suddenly stopped.

A young man wearing a trendy jacket walked onto the stage and took the microphone from the resident singer.

Before speaking, he cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

"Hello everyone, I am a freshman at Dongda Wanli College. My name is Zhang Sheng. Zhang means outgoing and flamboyant, and Sheng means young and energetic. I just lost a game with my friends. It was a truth or dare game, and I chose dare. I need to come on stage and sing a song."

Zhang Sheng held the microphone in one hand and supported it on the microphone stand with the other, his face showing a nonchalant expression.

“I felt that simply going up on stage and singing a song wasn’t challenging enough, so I discussed it with my friends and we decided to change the format. I would go up on stage and sing a song, and then I would randomly invite a friend from the audience to come up on stage and sing a song. We would compete, and everyone else would be the judges.”

"If I win, I'll treat everyone here to a bottle of beer. If the other side wins, I'll pay for their table. I'd like to ask if everyone supports this."

Zhang Sheng's friends' table led the applause and cheers.

"support!"

Xu Qifei turned his gaze away from the stage and asked Cheng Yun if she knew Zhang Sheng.

"He is a well-known rich kid in our school. He loves to show off, both online and in real life."

Cheng Yun's tone was neither dislike nor liking.

Xu Qifei nodded and turned his gaze back toward the stage.

In fact, Xu Qifei had noticed early on that someone below the stage was holding a DV camera and recording Zhang Sheng.

I already guessed that this was a premeditated "hype".

Otherwise, what kind of decent person would bring a photographer when going to a bar for a drink?

With the rise of internet celebrities like Old Boys, Plastic Brothers, and Sisters Who Make Waves, the DV culture on university campuses has been revitalized.

Of course, this is something only wealthy students can afford to play with.

Xu Qifei had arranged to meet Cheng Yun to discuss the topic of college student internet celebrities. Seeing Zhang Sheng standing on the stage preparing to randomly select challengers, he watched with great interest.

On stage, Zhang Sheng's gaze swept across the entire audience.

They eventually settled on Yang Muyi and his group's table.

"I think I see someone familiar. Isn't this Ning Zhiqian, our senior from the Medical School of Dongda University? I've heard so much about you since I entered the school. I didn't expect to run into you here. I wonder if Senior Ning would do me the honor of coming up on stage and having a PK with me?"

I?
When Ning Zhiqian saw that everyone around him was looking at him, he immediately waved his hand to indicate that he could not sing.

"Come on, just treat it as a game, winning or losing doesn't matter."

Zhang Sheng continued to manipulate Ning Zhiqian on stage.

He did this mainly because he saw Ruan Liuzheng and Tanya sitting next to Ning Zhiqian.

When faced with a beautiful woman, Ning Zhiqian has no choice but to go for her.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

Ning Zhiqian had absolutely no interest in going on stage to compete in singing with Zhang Sheng. However, when he caught a glimpse of Yang Muyi watching the commotion from the corner of his eye, an idea suddenly came to him.

"Okay, you sing first, and then our table can go up and sing later."

Ning Zhiqian stood up and replied loudly.

Zhang Sheng released the microphone stand with his left hand and pointed forcefully at Ning Zhiqian.

"Since Senior Ning is being so kind, then I'll make a fool of myself and sing a song called 'The Lone Warrior'."

A round of applause and cheers immediately erupted from the audience.

Zhang Sheng put the microphone back on the stand and glanced back at the band behind him.

Once he was sure the band was ready, Zhang Sheng turned around and faced the microphone with peace of mind.

As the intro began, Zhang Sheng immediately dropped his nonchalant expression and became serious.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the audience could tell that Zhang Sheng's singing skills were quite good.

No wonder they dared to come on stage and play such a "great adventure".

As Ruan Liuzheng and Tan Ya listened, they couldn't help but look at Ning Zhiqian, both feeling worried for him.

On the contrary, Ning Zhiqian seemed to have everything under control. After listening to Zhang Sheng sing a few lines, he took the initiative to ask to switch seats with Hu Yifei.

After sitting down, Ning Zhiqian first politely toasted Yang Muyi with a glass of wine, then leaned close to Yang Muyi's ear and whispered a few words.

Yang Muye's expression changed slightly after hearing this.

Ning Zhiqian actually wanted to ask him to be an "outsider".

After learning of Ning Zhiqian's plans, Hu Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian both joined in trying to persuade Yang Muye.

Hu Yifei couldn't stand Zhang Sheng's irresponsible and arrogant attitude as a rich second-generation, and wanted Yang Muye to go on stage to curb Zhang Sheng's arrogance.

Zeng Xiaoxian simply wanted to see Yang Muyi's live performance.

Finally, unable to resist everyone's requests, Yang Muye had no choice but to agree.

On stage, Zhang Sheng finished singing a song.

Feeling quite pleased with himself, he closed his eyes, opened his arms, and began to enjoy the cheers and applause as he stepped off the stage.

Just as I was getting into it, the whole bar suddenly went silent, as if it had been put on pause.

Zhang Sheng opened his eyes, his gaze immediately locking onto the "culprit" behind it all: a tall boy who had stood up from Ning Zhiqian's table and was walking towards the stage.

Upon seeing Yang Muye's incomparably handsome face, Zhang Sheng's pupils dilated in shock.

He had already recognized Yang Muye's identity.

Unlike Ning Zhiqian, a medical student who is too busy to go online all day, Zhang Sheng went to university just to get a diploma and spent most of his time online.

In the past two days, there have been various posts online exposing Yang Muye's background, with rumors and gossip flying everywhere.

It would be difficult for Zhang Sheng not to know Yang Muye.

When he chose to sing "The Lone Warrior," he never dreamed that it would bring out the real author.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but squint at Ning Zhiqian.

You have no martial ethics, so you ambushed an eighteen-year-old like me?
"Senior Ning, it's a bit much for you to bring in outside help for a friendly match between students from our Dongyuan University."

Zhang Sheng spoke into the microphone.

All eyes were once again on Ning Zhiqian.

Ning Zhiqian calmly stood up from his seat and explained to those around him, including Zhang Sheng:
"Yang doesn't count as an outsider! He participated in the exchange program between Yanjingmao and our Dongda University, and will be studying at Dongda University for the next year. Assistant Hu from the Academic Affairs Office can testify to this."

Zhang Sheng had long heard of Hu Yifei's formidable reputation.

Fine, you win!
Zhang Sheng gave Ning Zhiqian a deep look and then offered his hand to Yang Muyi, who had already walked onto the stage.

"God, please have mercy!"

Seeing Zhang Sheng readily admit defeat, Yang Muyi was taken aback.

As expected, rich kids are just rich, not stupid.

"It's nothing, I'm just singing casually."

Yang Muye nodded to Zhang Sheng.

That's what he said, but Zhang Sheng still couldn't help but worry.

After Zhang Sheng stepped down, Yang Muyi borrowed a guitar from the bar band.

Walk up to the microphone and adjust the stand to a suitable height.

"I came on stage in a hurry and didn't prepare much, so I'll just sing a song that I wrote for a friend."

There should have been applause here.

But before Zeng Xiaoxian, Hu Yifei and the others could lead the applause, Yang Muye's fingers had already plucked the strings, skipping the intro and starting to sing directly.

"Someone as outstanding as me."

"I should have lived a brilliant life."

"How come twenty years have come to an end?"

“Still floating in the sea of ​​people.”

The soothing, deep voice spread through the microphone, silencing the entire bar.

Those who were about to applaud quietly lowered their hands in unison.

At this moment on the stage, it was as if a beam of light was shining on Yang Muye, illuminating only his outline and making it impossible to see his specific appearance.

Only a delicate singing voice can truly penetrate the heart of every person.

"Someone as smart as me."

"I said goodbye to naivety long ago."

"Why did you still use a past relationship?"

"Go and get rid of all your scars."

Hearing this, Ruan Liuzheng, who was sitting in her seat, was inexplicably touched.

As she adjusted her glasses, she glanced discreetly at Ning Zhiqian.

I always feel like the person in the lyrics who is supposed to be smart but is actually quite foolish is me.

Even though he knew Ning Zhiqian had a girlfriend, he still couldn't help wanting to get closer to him.

So in the end, all you get is a body full of scars?

Ruan Liuzheng suddenly felt an indescribable sadness in her chest.

"A vulgar person like me."

"I never like to pretend to be profound."

"Why do I sometimes hear old songs?"

"Suddenly I was also distracted."

Xu Qifei adjusted his glasses, using the gesture to conceal his momentary daze.

These lyrics really touched his heart.

Even so, Xu Qifei kept his eyes glued to the stage, afraid of missing any exciting details.

Sitting to the side, Cheng Yun's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration; she was completely mesmerized.

"A coward like me."

Always leave some room for maneuver.

"How could I have ever done something for someone?"

"I've thought about risking my life."

Standing by the bar, Song Dizhi looked at Yang Muyi on the stage with excited stars in her eyes.

At that moment, she felt like the person who would risk everything for love.

"A lonely person like me."

"For a fool like me."

"Someone like me who is unwilling to be ordinary."

“How many people are there in the world?”

……

"Someone as inexplicable as me."

"Will anyone feel sorry for me?"

Zhang Sheng looked at Yang Muye on the stage, who was holding the piano strings and singing the last line of the lyrics.

Looking around at the silent audience, all immersed in the resonance, the heart that had been hanging in suspense... finally died.

After finishing the song, Yang Muye took off the strap and returned the guitar to its owner.

The audience then seemed to wake up from their daze.

No one knows who started it, but thunderous applause instantly resounded throughout the entire bar.

The boy in the audience holding a DV camera followed Yang Muye back to his seat.

A voice suddenly rang out from behind.

“Did you film them all?”

The boy turned around, saw Zhang Sheng, and nodded hurriedly:
"It was filmed."

Zhang Sheng patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Before the boy could react, Zhang Sheng added:
"When you get back, delete the whole part where I sang on stage. You can post the edited video online, but don't mention me."

After giving his instructions, Zhang Sheng walked straight over to Yang Muye's table.

He saw that Yang Muyi and his group of people stood up from their seats, seemingly preparing to leave.

"Senior Ning, Senior Hu, it's still early, why are you leaving already?"

When Zhang Sheng arrived, he saw Zeng Xiaoxian waving to a waiter to pay the bill, and immediately stopped him.

"We agreed that if I lose the game, I'll treat everyone. Waiter, put this table's bill on my tab."

Seeing Zhang Sheng's insistence, Zeng Xiaoxian had no choice but to put away his wallet.

Zhang Sheng's gaze then fell on Yang Muye.

There was no jealousy or resentment, only deep admiration.

"Master, what's the name of the song you just sang?"

"A Person Like Me"

The song title is not surprising.

I have no reason to feel wronged about losing.

Zhang Sheng couldn't understand how Yang Muyi, someone who was completely unrelated to the ordinary, could write a song that resonated so strongly with every ordinary person.
　The renovations downstairs are too noisy during the day, so the second update will be later.
