I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 149 A Grand Chorus of a Thousand People!

"Dear students, as you've probably seen, we have a group of special visitors at our school. They are Ye Xian's fans—the members of the Midnight Singing Club. Let's welcome them with applause!"

Principal Gao walked to the microphone stand and introduced the thirty-odd men and women dressed in cyan support uniforms in front of him.

The more than 1,000 science students in the audience cheered immediately.

Screams and whistles echoed throughout the stadium.

The glow sticks were being waved wildly.

A woman in the middle of the late-night karaoke group stepped forward and stood in front of the microphone: "Hello everyone, I'm very happy to be here at Huacheng No.1 Middle School. I am Sun Li, the leader of the late-night karaoke group."

Previously, Brother Xian made a promise to a fan from our school and their class: if they could achieve good results in this mock exam, Brother Xian would give them a big gift!

That's great! This time, their entire class's grades improved, and the class even ranked among the top three in the grade!

So, our late-night karaoke club is here! Our members come from all over the country, and we're all here for one purpose: to cheer you on in your scientific expeditions! We wish you all the best and hope you achieve great success!

"Wow--"

The students in Class 3-2 had only been guessing before, but at this moment they were completely excited.

Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Xiaoyu hugged each other excitedly, tears streaming down their faces.

"Brother Xian has always been thinking about us!"

"I'm so happy! I feel like the happiest person in the world!"

The other students screamed, "Xian-ge is awesome! Last time he brought us so many Haizhou snacks, and this time he got members of the singing club to sing for us! So amazing!"

"I thought that woman in the middle looked familiar, and it turns out she's Sun Li, the leader of our late-night snack group!"

"Sun Li is here, so those must be Wang Feifei and Wang Yin standing next to her? They're even prettier in person!"

"Why isn't Brother Xian here? It feels like something's missing!"

……

The students from other classes looked at the students in Class 3-2 with a mixture of excitement and envy: "You guys get all the good things!"

Sun Li gestured for Principal Gao to continue speaking, and Principal Gao smiled and said, "Thank you to the members of the late-night karaoke club for coming to our Huacheng No. 1 High School. Today is our pep rally for science students. As usual, we'll shout some slogans, get everyone excited for a bit, and then it'll be over. After you go back, those who don't want to study can continue playing, and those who do want to study don't need any arrangements!"

"Hahaha--"

The students burst into laughter. Everyone knew that the emotional excitement of the pep rally only lasted for three minutes, and after that, things really did turn out as the principal had said.

"So, this year I'm going to try a different approach. I'll lead all the research team members in singing some uplifting songs for everyone. These songs are actually by Ye Xian. I know you young people all like him, so please don't laugh at me if I don't sing very well! I also hope these songs can inspire everyone to keep moving forward!"

Principal Gao waved to the audience, and the students screamed again.

They never expected their principal to be so open-minded and so adventurous. Was this really the same serious principal they knew?

Principal Gao nodded to the band, whose members had been waiting for a long time. The guitar and drums started playing at the same time.

I want to fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

The world is waiting for me to change it.

I'm not afraid for others to see the dreams I want to have.

I can achieve all of this here.

... "

At the start, Principal Gao chose "I Believe." Although his mellow voice was a little unsteady, it resounded loudly throughout the gymnasium, inspiring the teachers and members of the late-night karaoke club to sing along.

The students went wild. Was that really their usual serious homeroom teacher on the stage? At that moment, they were completely like students again, with happy smiles on everyone's faces, radiating youthful energy.

At that moment, everyone suddenly realized that the teacher must be under a lot of pressure too!

"Laugh out loud, let's stand shoulder to shoulder."

Where can't we find endless joy?

Leave your worries behind and stride forward bravely.

I stood in the middle of the stage

... "

As the second verse began, over a thousand students in the gymnasium spontaneously joined in the singing.

Ye Xian's songs have long been a must-play during breaks at Huacheng No. 1 Middle School. Even if you can't sing them or don't know the lyrics, you can still hum along.

Moreover, the large screen on the stage also began playing short videos of Ye Xian at appropriate times.

With subtitles, you can sing!

The atmosphere in the stadium reached its peak with a thousand people singing together, no less than the collective oath just now.

Especially when they sang, "I believe in freedom, I believe in hope, I believe I can reach the sky with my hand," some students started to cry.

This song truly expresses the students' yearning for their dreams and their longing for freedom.

After the song ended, Principal Gao did not speak again. Instead, he waited for everyone to calm down a bit before nodding to the band once more.

"Change your life"

Make yourself happy

Give up persistence

The weather will become nice.

... "

Sun Li led the singing, and as "Youth" began, the teachers and members of the late-night snack group sang together, creating another climax in the gymnasium.

The song "Youth" is most suitable for teachers of this age to sing, so many teachers' eyes became a little red as they sang it.

"Look, the teacher is crying!"

"Teacher Li cried too!"

"I bet it reminds me of what they looked like in their youth! I've heard that people's hair turns gray after entering the education industry! Back then, they were all top-tier campus heartthrobs and beauties!"

"Alright, stop making sarcastic remarks! Our teacher has gone to great lengths for us! Although he scolds us a lot, he's the first one to arrive every morning and the last one to leave at night, and he even checks the dorms. He barely gets two days off a whole semester. We're so lucky to have such a good teacher!"

……

The students couldn't help but tap their glow sticks to the rhythm and sing along.

This song belongs to them, and it also belongs to the teachers.

May we, many years after graduation, still return as youthful as ever!

……

After "Youth" ended, Principal Gao paused for a while to allow the students to calm down before nodding to signal the band to start the third song.

I'm afraid I won't have a chance.

Say goodbye to you

Because maybe I'll never see you again

... "

The principal sang "Goodbye," followed by a group sing-along from the research team, while the members of the late-night karaoke party remained silent this time.

The students quickly realized that the song was a gift from their teachers.

If the first song, "I Believe," is the teachers' encouragement to their students, and the second song, "Youth," is their expectation for the students' future, then the third song, "Goodbye," is the teachers' reluctance to part with their students.

This time, many children couldn't hold back anymore.

Everyone's eyes welled up with tears again.

The sorrow of parting, sung at any time during graduation season, can evoke deeper empathy between teachers and students.

Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Xiaoyu were already sobbing uncontrollably. The song made them hold each other's hands tightly, especially the line, "I will remember your face, I will cherish the memories you gave me, these days will never be erased from my heart..."

This made it hard for the two of them to imagine how much they would miss each other after being separated.

Many classmates who were close to each other hugged each other.

They had been classmates for three years, some even since junior high. Facing the first major turning point in their lives, no one knew where they would go, but they were very clear that their friendship was the most precious thing in their lives.

Many couples also secretly glanced at each other. Despite the immense pressure of scientific research, many students are still dating.

This love story is filled with innocence and sweetness, but today this song has added a touch of sorrow to their relationship.

Yes, graduation is just around the corner!

After the scientific expedition ends, will we still be able to be together?

I will remember your face forever.

I will cherish the longing you gave me.

These days will never be forgotten in my heart.

... "
