29 Don't You Dare!
Liling shifted her gaze from the people and carefully walked over to the band stand, gently pushing forward a wheeled Piano to the centre of the stage after asking for permission.
After adjusting the microphone she raised her eyes up once again, and with a very broad smile she introduced herself.
"My na is Lee Liling, I'll be singing 'Run to You' by Lea Michele"
Her Audience were already exhausted since they've been at a place for so long. So weren't even paying attention to her given that she was the last contestant. But Liling didn't mind, she had practiced for so long, she was not going to just lose without a trial.
Closing her eyes, she started playing the piano. The music was a sober one, at first Liling didn't know what to sing, but as she ca up the stage, the only song on her head was that one, so she decided to sing it.
"The city sky's feeling dark tonight
We're back to back with our heads down
Just look at , give more tonight
Just give more of your love now
Let's set fire to the lonely night
You're beautiful when you look at
Let's give love another life
Cause you'll be safe in these arms of mine
Just call my na on the edge of the night
And I'll run to you, I'll run to you
I would run to you, if you want to
Just give so kind of reason
I'll take the pain, take it all away
Just give it so kind of aning
Let's let go, let it be the start
You know I'm feeling the sa thing
Let's let go of our broken hearts
At this point, she opened her eyes and looked at her audience, who were looking at her transfixed, as though the original tiredness had disappeared all of a sudden.
Liu Wei felt as though she was staring right at him, he felt his heart skip a beat. She really was amazing as I thought!. He sat there, eyes wide open, oblivious of his surroundings, just Lililng who existed in his world at that mont.
Liling smiled a little more, her eyes dazzling as she continued singing as though she wrote the lyrics.
Cause you'll be safe in these arms of mine
Just call my na on the edge of the night
And I'll run to you, I'll run to you
Even if it's gonna break , love
Gonna make my way to you
Anyway it's gonna take , love
I run to you
I run to you
Run, run
Cause you'll be safe in these arms of mine
And I'll run to you
I'll run to you
Even if it's gonna break , love
I run to you
She concluded with the ending note from the piano, bowing a little with a smile plastered on her face. Then it ca, the round of applause. The audience stood and clapped heartily at her wonderful performance. She was indeed one of a kind. Stings of tears fought it's way through her eyes, Lililng felt like crying, she smiled happily as she bowed a little again waiting for the judges' remarks.
.....
Liu Wei recovered from his trance when he was gently nudged by Jin Yue. He blinked twice and discovered that Liling was no longer on the stage. She had left. Turning to the person by his side, a smirk was plastered on his face.
"Lililng, Mmm, a beautiful na for a beautiful person, Ahh, I knew she wouldn't be just ordinary; say, what caught your fancy, her eyes or her smile? She's quite beautiful... "
Jin Yue had heard when Liu Wei whispered Lilings' na to himself. He was confused as to why he was calling a female's na all of a sudden, it was when the girl on the stage introduced herself that he knew she was the one he was referring to. She was very beautiful, though not too tall but not short either. He had noticed his friend's daze and knew he must really be infatuated really badly.
Smiling at himself, he was happy that at least soone had caught his friend's attention, a pretty one at that. He knew it didn't happen often, so they had to cherish it while it lasts.
"Seems you don't have anything reasonable to do than to sit here and talk random things" Liu Wei's face which had reddened as a result of being caught red handed imdiately remarked.
Jin Yue laughed hysterically as he took in Liu Wei's expression.
"Say, Liling is a random thing?, okay, I'll go ask her out, since she's not important to... "
"Don't you dare!! " Liu Wei imdiately cut him off, his eyes sending frosted daggers at him. Jin Yue laughed out loud while holding his tummy.
"Chill Bro, I wasn't even going to even if I wanted to, you like her, so she's not part of my list." He laughed again to the annoyance of Liu Wei.
.....
The Audition ended after about six hours, it was still on everyone's lips for about three days. Though they were told that the results would be released the next week, the students were overly anxious praying that they be selected.
