Chapter 88: The Handsome Xia Yang
Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Handsome Xia Yang
Tomorrow is the official election day for the Student Union President candidates. As per tradition, candidates must hold an early campaign event to solicit votes. Xia Yang originally had little interest in participating, but now, after clashing with Ji Xiangyu, Qin Hailan has dragged him to the school gate to campaign!
Xia Yang said helplessly to Qin Hailan and Huzi: “Is it really necessary? Who in the school doesn’t know me, Xia Yang? Aren’t those who don’t vote for me afraid of me showing them what I’m capable of?”
Qin Hailan reminded him: “Please be approachable. And remember, smile.”
Xia Yang forced a smile mechanically, looking as awkward as possible. Huzi flattered him, saying: “Does Big Brother, who is so dashing, even need to smile? Sister Lan, you don’t know, those women just love Big Brother’s cool demeanor! Hehe.”
Qin Hailan seemed very eager for Xia Yang to win, treating the campaigning as if she were the one running for election!
Xia Yang flicked Huzi’s forehead with his finger and said seriously: “It’s not just about campaigning, it’s also about crushing Ji Xiangyu’s aura. That kid is usually seen as the ‘good student,’ right? I, Xia Yang, was born to extinguish his spirit!”
Huzi said obsequiously: “Young Master Ji, he’s just good at studying. What’s so great about being good at studying? In First High School, if anyone gets bullied, don’t they rely on us? Right, Big Brother!”
Xia Yang tugged at his awkward school uniform: “Hehe, Huzi is sensible!”
Qin Hailan shot them a look and directly pulled Xia Yang to the already set up campaign stage. Xia Yang indifferently watched the passing crowd.
Before they could even start campaigning, Situ Jingyi on the opposite side was already enthusiastically canvassing for votes!
Situ Jingyi’s popularity was unmatched. Her adoring fans gathered together, creating a powerful scene. Basically, half the students were there, like a small concert!
Song Shishi and Qing Tian walked over to Xia Yang’s side. Song Shishi immediately patted Xia Yang’s shoulder and asked: “How is it? The charm of beautiful women is irresistible, isn’t it?”
Xia Yang scoffed: “Tch, then let’s see my prowess! I haven’t even revealed my ultimate move yet, understand?”
Qing Tian asked with a smile: “Xia Yang, I really don’t know what ultimate moves you have besides fighting!”
Xia Yang said with an evil grin: “Then please, all you beautiful ladies, stay tuned. I didn’t want to be too ostentatious, but now I really can’t be reserved! Huzi, bring out the gear!”
Qing Tian was taken aback: “Uh? Bring out the gear?” Could he be planning a live martial arts performance?
Just as everyone was guessing, Xia Yang and Huzi ran to their RV. After a while, they reappeared before everyone in disguise!
The former high school students transformed into handsome, charismatic band members, sporting various male god looks. Everyone was stunned! Especially Xia Yang’s outfit, it was no different from EXO on TV, so handsome it was breathtaking!
Song Shishi said admiringly: “Sister Qing, how can they be so handsome? They’re absolutely cool!”
Qing Tian was also seeing Xia Yang and his band for the first time. She was actually quite curious about what trick they would pull!
After Xia Yang and his band members coolly tuned their instruments, Xia Yang spoke into the microphone: “Ahem, everyone, please look this way. Today, to help you understand me better, I’ve specially prepared a performance for you!”
The small crowd that was there initially quickly grew. Qing Tian smiled and said: “The effect is quite good!”
Qin Hailan looked at Qing Tian proudly: “Of course. Who is Xia Yang? He’s the boss of First High School, okay?”
After hearing this, Qing Tian and Song Shishi fell silent and watched Xia Yang on stage.
Xia Yang: “I am very happy to have the opportunity to compete for Student Union President, but the result is not important. What’s important is that everyone can spend their high school years at First High School with happiness and joy. This is for everyone, ‘Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies’!”
After speaking, Xia Yang coolly played the bass guitar. Instantly, drums and bass filled the air.
The audience covered their mouths, looking at Xia Yang and Huzi in disbelief. The three of them were engrossed in playing the instruments that produced such beautiful music.
As soon as Xia Yang opened his mouth, a large group of female fans fainted. His voice was so good, like listening to the sound of waves on a plateau, high-pitched yet resonant.
Today, I watched the snow drift in the cold night, my heart chilled, I drifted afar. Chasing in the wind and rain, unable to distinguish my trace in the mist. The boundless sky and sea, you and I. Will we change (who isn’t changing)? How many times have I faced cold stares and ridicule, yet never abandoned the ideals in my heart. In a moment of daze, a feeling of loss, unknowingly it has faded. The love in my heart (who understands me), forgive me for this life of uninhibited indulgence and freedom. I will also fear the day I might fall. If ideals are abandoned, anyone can do it. Who would fear the day when it’s just you and me!
This inspiring song, ‘Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies,’ deeply resonated with everyone’s hearts. How many people are fighting for their ideals?
Xia Yang winked at the female fans in the audience, and another large group of them were instantly captivated!
Song Shishi smiled and said: “Sister Qing, look! Xia Yang is so full of charm. Not only does he play the bass so well, but his voice is also so moving. He’s truly a rare, all-around male god!”
Qing Tian looked at Xia Yang on stage, smiling gently. Xia Yang had truly opened her eyes, but could this really move people and win votes?
Just as she was doubting, his die-hard fans in the audience started shouting: “Xia Yang, we will always support you! Xia Yang, you’re the best…”
Qing Tian shook her head. These female fans were indeed supportive. Xia Yang was truly charismatic. For the first time, she felt that when Xia Yang was showing off, he was truly unstoppable!
Situ Jingyi stood in the distance watching Xia Yang, the corner of her mouth curving into a gentle and beautiful arc. Xia Yang was still the same Xia Yang she knew. She hadn’t heard him sing in a very, very long time. The emotions contained in his voice now were different from a few years ago. Back then, Xia Yang was ignorant of the immensity of the world; now, his eyes seemed to have seen through everything, always looking at things with a lukewarm gaze.
However, there was only one woman who could make Xia Yang’s cold eyes flicker with a hint of light, and Ji Xiangyu was also like that!
Situ Jingyi looked at Qing Tian, who was cheering for Xia Yang, and she couldn’t understand what charm this woman possessed that could make these two arrogant men so moved?
Qing Tian, this woman, she was becoming increasingly interested in her!
When Ji Xiangyu arrived, Xia Yang had just finished his song. Ji Xiangyu stood in the distance, watching Xia Yang perform with dashing flair on stage, a strange emotion spreading within him, slowly, bit by bit, occupying his entire heart.
He saw Qing Tian and Song Shishi standing in the crowd, smiling happily and cheering for Xia Yang. Their smiles were like a ray of warm sun in winter. He sighed, when would he be able to make Qing Tian smile so unreservedly?
Xia Yang was right. When Qing Tian was with him, she was indeed happy and relaxed. Ji Xiangyu didn’t know where things had gone wrong in his interactions with Qing Tian. It seemed he had always been trying to get closer to her, but Qing Tian had always distanced herself when they were at a negative distance.
Situ Jingyi placed her hand on Ji Xiangyu’s shoulder and said with a comforting smile: “You will win!”
Ji Xiangyu frowned and looked back at Situ Jingyi, smiling helplessly. He himself didn’t know if he could win, so why did Situ Jingyi believe in him so much?
Situ Jingyi seemed to sense Ji Xiangyu’s doubt. She linked her arm with Ji Xiangyu’s and smiled gently: “Because Yu has always been number one in everyone’s eyes, never falling behind, never disappointing anyone. It will be the same this time. I believe you will surprise everyone! A talent show is a piece of cake for you, isn’t it?”
Ji Xiangyu looked up at the sky. The blue sky had not a single cloud. Didn’t this vast, empty blue feeling perfectly mirror his inner state? No matter how successful he was, the person accompanying him in the end would be nowhere to be found!
Just as Ji Xiangyu looked at the sky, Qing Tian happened to be looking at him.
Situ Jingyi noticed Qing Tian’s gaze towards Ji Xiangyu. She then smiled gently at Qing Tian. Although Situ Jingyi’s smile was gentle, it gave Qing Tian goosebumps.
Qing Tian gave an awkward smile and then turned her head away, no longer looking in that direction. She thought with a sense of loss, why was Situ Jingyi always by Ji Xiangyu’s side?
