Chapter 172 A song for you (this chapter is a must-read! 5k words)
"On the Qingming Rain" is a Chinese-style song written, composed and sung by Xu Song. It is included in the first music album "Custom" released in 2009.
In just two or three months, many people in China started singing this song.
Xiao Qiuting is one of them.
Now, in order to make Xiao Qiuting happy, Lin Qin took the initiative to sing Xu Song's new song on an important stage like the finals.
You know, even though this song is loved by everyone.
But some of the students present had never heard of it.
So Xiao Qiuting is also a little worried whether Lin Qin's singing effect will be greatly compromised due to insufficient popularity.
But in fact, everyone was listening to Lin Qin singing seriously.
[It’s Qingming rain again, and the chrysanthemums are sent to you
Sing your favorite song softly~~]
When Lin Qin was halfway through singing, there was a short interlude.
Taking advantage of the break in playing guitar, Huo Haidong and others immediately clapped their hands.
Applause also broke out from the scene.
Lin Qin looked at Xiao Qiuting and the others and saw that each of them was holding fluorescent sticks in their hands and waving them constantly.
It's like holding your own concert.
At this time, Lin Qin also saw that He Bailu and Du Qingling were already sitting in their seats.
Following the direction, he looked over.
When Du Qingling saw Lin Qin looking over, she quickly patted He Bailu's hand, and then said excitedly: "Lulu, he is looking at you."
He Bailu said nothing, but looked at Lin Qin with the same eyes and a smile.
After the interlude ended, Lin Qin continued to play and sing.
The judges also nodded in affirmation.
When Lin Qin's last note fell, he immediately picked up the guitar, stood up, and bowed deeply to everyone present.
Then he left the stage.
The host quickly took over the baton.
She even said with emotion: "Our classmate Lin Qin presented us with a very beautiful song "On the Qingming Rain". Let us once again thank classmate Lin Qin with warm applause."
"Bah bang bang!!"
For a moment, thunderous applause erupted from the scene once again.
Du Qingling noticed at this time that the judges sitting not far away were all giving scores.
And she also discovered that among the judges, there were also teachers from the art school.
Du Qingling then said: "Lulu, the size of the judges this time is much more luxurious than the previous two years. When you participated in the semi-finals, there were only one or two teachers on the judges' panel."
He Bailu nodded: "After all, this is the finals, so there must be professional selections and comments."
"Do you think the song my brother sang just now has a chance of winning the championship?" Du Qingling asked.
"I don't know." He Bailu shook her head, and then she looked at Du Qingling with a slight complaint: "I told you to leave quickly, but you just didn't listen. Fortunately, I didn't miss it."
"Oops~~" Du Qingling quickly took He Bailu's arm and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. How did I know it started so early? Didn't I introduce the leaders to them in previous years? It turned out to be true.
It started on time at 7 o'clock, and the first one to play was Lin Qin, which was such a coincidence."
Seeing that Du Qingling admitted her mistake sincerely, He Bailu said nothing.
Du Qingling wanted to make up for her mistake, and then looked around.
She then looked at He Bailu and said, "Lulu, do you want to go find your brother?"
After hearing this, He Bailu frowned: "He is backstage now, how can I get there? Besides, they are competing."
"He's already on stage, so why compete? I know there's a door backstage that can be opened from the dining hall. When the time comes, we can just go there and ask my brother to open the door for us." Du Qingling explained.
He Bailu was a little confused: "How do you know?"
"When I was a freshman, I met a younger brother who was quite handsome. Later he was going to participate in the top ten singers competition, so I went there to chat with him." Du Qingling replied sheepishly.
He Bailu became even more confused: "Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"
Du Qingling explained calmly: "Forget it, that boy is a scumbag. Originally, I was thinking of finding a freshman boy to fall in love with, but it turned out that he had a long-distance girlfriend, and he still maintained an affair with me. I wanted to
He was riding two boats with his feet, and when he was discovered by me, I kicked him out."
After hearing this, He Bailu shook her head dumbfounded: "You, it seems you are still hiding a lot of things from me."
"No, no, well, my brother is not going to play next. It's useless for us to sit here. Let's go find him first."
Unable to withstand Du Qingling's insistence, He Bailu finally agreed.
Then she was led by Du Qingling to another door backstage.
Du Qingling asked He Bailu to send a message.
He Bailu had no choice but to take out her mobile phone: [Are you backstage now?]
Lin Qin: [Yes, Sister Lu, she is resting backstage.]
He Bailu was still hesitant. She put her hands on the keyboard of her mobile phone, wondering whether to send a message.
Du Qingling urged from the side: "Oh, hurry up, don't wait too long."
Finally, Du Qingling snatched He Bailu's cell phone and quickly sent a message.
He Bailu was stunned for a moment and just wanted to take it back.
However, Du Qingling had already sent it.
When she saw the message, she had no choice but to give up.
Lin Qin was also a little surprised when he saw the message from He Bailu.
He Bailu: [Qingling and I are at the back door, please open the door!~]
But he soon realized that these words were probably not from He Bailufa.
Generally speaking, she will not add a modal particle with the word "ah" after a sentence, let alone an exclamation point.
This is not like He Bailu's usual way of chatting.
So there was a high probability that Du Qingling was chatting with him.
Lin Qin stood up, went to the back door, and opened it.
Sure enough, He Bailu and Du Qingling were standing outside the door.
When He Bailu saw Lin Qin, her eyes were a little dodgeful, and she slowly moved her gaze away from him to the grass on the side.
Lin Qin pretended to be surprised and said, "Why are you here?"
Du Qingling knew that He Bailu was embarrassed, so she took the initiative and said, "Let's come and see you. We want to see what it's like backstage in the finals."
So Lin Qin turned sideways and let Du Qingling take a look inside.
Then Du Qingling praised: "Brother, the song you just sang was so nice. What's its name?"
""On the Qingming Rain"."
""On the Qingming Rain", a song by Xu Song."
He Bailu and Lin Qin said it in unison, and then looked at each other slightly awkwardly.
Du Qingling wanted this effect. She pretended to be confused and said: "It's strange, why haven't I heard this song? I also often listen to Xu Song's songs."
Lin Qin then explained: "This song was released two or three months ago. Maybe you didn't pay attention, so you don't know this song."
"So that's it." Du Qingling then made an excuse: "I'm a little thirsty. I'll go to the canteen across the street to buy a bottle of water, and I'll buy it for you too. You guys can chat for a while first."
After saying that, she ran away.
He Bailu wanted to stop her, but her long legs moved very quickly.
Suddenly no one was seen.
Now only He Bailu and Lin Qin were left chatting at the door.
He Bailu raised his head and apologized at first: "Sorry, Xiao Qin, we were just late, so when I came to the activity center, you had already started singing and missed your opening."
Lin Qin shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I have a game later."
"There's another one?" He Bailu was a little surprised.
She looked at the direction Du Qingling was leaving and asked, "But didn't Qingling say she would sing a song in the final?"
"That was in previous years, but this year the situation is different. The school has to arrange a school dance celebration and temporarily requisitioned the activity center. So the original plan was to have the semi-finals today and the finals in a few days, so we can only combine the semi-finals and the finals today.
It’s all done, so we have to sing two songs and determine the final champion through the comprehensive score.”
After listening to Lin Qin's explanation, He Bailu finally felt less guilty.
Then she asked: "Then when will your second song come on?"
Lin Qin laughed: "I drew a bad lottery, No. 1 and No. 16, which are the first and last to play respectively."
"Ah?" He Bailu had a worried expression on his face.
As a contestant who has competed before, she certainly understands that being the first to appear and the last one to appear are unlucky orders.
However, she still comforted her: "It doesn't matter. You sang so well in the first appearance just now. You will definitely surprise everyone when you appear in the last one."
Lin Qin nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, and the last song is specially sung to Sister Lu. Of course it must be sung well."
"Sing it to me?" He Bailu became slightly nervous.
"Yes." Lin Qin explained: "Do you still remember which song we played guitar and sang on the balcony for the first time?"
He Bailu didn't think twice and answered directly: "It's "Sunny Day" by Jay Chou."
She had recalled that scene many times in her mind.
The happiness that night was an unforgettable moment for her for a long time.
Then she reacted and said in surprise: "Are you going to sing "Sunny Day" later?"
"Sister Lu will know later." Lin Qin pretended to be secretive.
At this time, he noticed that Du Qingling was quietly eavesdropping, so he pretended to ask: "Sister Qingling, are you back from buying water?"
Du Qingling was startled, and then she walked out with an embarrassed smile: "Yes, I came back from buying water."
After saying that, she handed each of them a bottle.
He Bailu was a little confused: "When did you come back? Why didn't I notice?"
"Oh, you were so focused on chatting that you didn't realize it's normal." Du Qingling hesitated and changed the subject: "Brother, are you waiting for the final award now?"
He Bailu said quickly: "He wants to sing another song."
"Really?" Du Qingling wondered: "Isn't it enough to just sing one song in the final?"
"It's different this year, but Xiao Qin is the last one to play." He Bailu explained.
"It doesn't matter. I believe you can do it. Come on." Du Qingling patted Lin Qin on the shoulder and encouraged him.
Just when they wanted to chat a few more words, the student union officer called Lin Qin: "This player, the back door of the backstage cannot be opened during the competition."
Lin Qin could only look at He Bailu and Du Qingling and said, "Sister Lu, Sister Qingling, I'm closing the door. You go back to watch the game first. I'll come back to you after the game is over."
"Okay, it's okay." He Bailu was worried that Lin Qin would be complained by members of the student union for opening the door, so she quickly asked him to close the door.
After closing the door, she still looked at it reluctantly.
Du Qingling joked from the side: "Okay, okay, don't be reluctant to leave. It will be the same when you watch him sing live later."
"How reluctant am I to leave." He Bailu rolled her eyes at him and muttered: "Fortunately, I asked one more question, otherwise, based on your words, I would really have thought that he only sang this song."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, it's all my fault~~" Du Qingling said with a smile: "Okay, let's go back to the scene quickly. We have to listen to other contestants singing. Maybe there is a good-looking younger brother."
He Bailu:
He Bailu, who returned to the activity center, was not too excited while listening to the songs of other contestants.
Instead, he expected him to finish singing quickly so that the next contestant could come on stage.
Time passed minute by minute, and she didn't become excited until the host said the name Lin Qin again.
But what surprised her was that in the other corner, there was also a group of people who became extremely active after learning that Lin Qin was going to play.
Even from the time Lin Qin stepped on the stage to when he sat down, the applause didn't stop.
He Bailu looked in that direction, thinking that maybe it was Lin Qin's roommates.
【It seems that his popularity is quite good.】
【There are so many classmates and brothers who support him.】
But what she didn't know was that the most excited person was not Lin Qin's roommates, but the blushing Xiao Qiuting.
I saw her waving a light stick and cheering for the boy she liked.
Lin Qin returned to the stage again. Compared with the mood when he first took the stage, it was obvious that he was now much calmer.
"Hey, hey, is this the first contestant on stage?"
"Yes, he is the happy-looking boss we just talked about."
"It's amazing. It really does have two brushes."
"That's natural, otherwise how would you think you would be able to reach the final stage."
"I thought he came through the back door."
The song "On the Qingming Rain" just now has changed many people's impressions of Lin Qin.
Now they are also looking forward to his next song.
I saw Lin Qin reaching the microphone and explaining: "The next song is also very important to me. I remember very much the scene when I sang on the balcony that night. It was my most relaxed moment and also my most relaxing moment."
When I am happy, and as the last contestant in the top ten singers competition on campus, I give this song "Sunny Day" to everyone at the end, I hope everyone likes it."
He Bailu, who was sitting in the audience, learned that Lin Qin was singing "Sunny Day".
And the scene of singing on the balcony that he mentioned was exactly what it was like when the two of them sang on the balcony of their home with their guitars for the first time.
Unknowingly, this full of touching details made He Bailu's eyes wet.
Du Qingling noticed the change in He Bailu's expression from the side. She looked at Lin Qin who was playing the guitar seriously, and then asked cautiously: "Lulu, could this song be sung by my brother specifically for you?"
"
He Bailu did not shake his head, but finally admitted after hesitating for two seconds.
Du Qingling frowned, then pursed her lips and said, "If I had known I wouldn't have come. Watching you show off your affection and show off your love would be more uncomfortable than killing me."
Unexpectedly, He Bailu made a shushing gesture: "Listen to the song."
Du Qingling:[○｀Д○]
【Do you care about me at all! Lulu!!】
However, Du Qingling considered that He Bailu cared so much about a boy for the first time in more than 20 years, so she forgave her in her heart.
[When you and your brother fall in love, I can buy you a set for your birthday in the future. I will buy you 003 first to make a transition, and then buy 001.]
Not long after, as the prelude sounded, Lin Qin sang on the stage.
【The little yellow flower of the story
Floating since the year I was born
childhood swing
The memory lingers until now~~~"]
After the song ends, the next time is the regular judges' scoring.
Then review the results.
Finally, the vice president took the stage to deliver a speech.
And announce the player with the highest score tonight.
When tonight's winner was announced, Xiao Qiuting even sweated from holding the beads in her hands.
Countless people are paying attention to the last-minute announcement.
Lin Qin didn't really care.
Because his mission is accomplished.
The reason why he wanted to participate in this top ten singers competition on campus was because he wanted to get closer to the two women through this competition.
Especially He Bailu.
She unfortunately missed the semi-finals because of her internship.
Now I can help her realize her dream.
Of course, if we can win the championship.
That's the biggest surprise.
Things developed as Lin Qin expected. When the vice-principal read the name of the champion, he finally focused on the word "Lin Qin".
"Let us congratulate Lin Qin, a first-year student from the Department of Literature, for successfully winning the top ten singers competition on Lingnan University campus."
Three days later, when Lin Qin arrived at the school gate, Huo Haidong and others were already waiting there.
After seeing Lin Qin, they all joked: "The champion is here, the champion is here!"
Lin Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Three days have passed since the finals, and you are still talking about this."
Xiao Qiuting disagreed and said: "It's not just for three days, we plan to hang a banner on the Chayanxise signboard, saying congratulations to Chayanxise's boss Lin Qin for successfully winning the championship of the top ten singers on campus."
"Yes, that night, when the vice-principal read out the name, I was so nervous that I died." Liu Shanpeng said excitedly.
"I always wanted to go to the toilet, but I never dared to go. I was really afraid of missing it." Chen Ping also explained.
Lin Qin said calmly: "Okay, no matter what, the matter of the top ten singers on campus is over, we still have to return to daily life."
He looked at the camping cloth held in Huo Haidong's hand: "I will pay for all the expenses today. Everyone just eats and drinks."
"Okay! ヾ(▽)ノ"
"Brother Qin is mighty!!"
Then the group of them walked to Huguang Park.
As for He Bailu, because he asked for leave in advance that day, the work progress in the next two or three days will be busier.
But in her spare time, she still puts on her headphones and plays a local song.
She recorded it on the night of the finals.
The name of this song is "Sunny Day".
As this chapter was written, I felt like I was a bit of a scumbag.
It makes me feel ashamed~~~~
It’s five thousand words, I wonder who dares to say it short.
I recognize it if it’s not good-looking, but I don’t recognize it if it’s short!!!
