After hesitating for a mont, Su Wan took a few steps forward to walk over to them and asked, "What song?"
The two girls were both taken aback, turning their heads to discover Su Wan, whom they hadn’t noticed appearing in the lounge.
"Senior Su Wan?"
Su Wan asked again, "Hmm, what song?"
The girl with a trendy outfit was the first to react, hurriedly taking the score from the table and handing it over: "Mayday’s ’Gentle’."
Su Wan took the score and glanced through it, finding it to be a set of simple rhythms. Based on the basics of drumming she’d learned a few years ago, handling this shouldn’t be a problem.
"Senior, do you know how to play drums?" Only now did Wangzai Xiaocaitou start to co to his senses, with a few hints of pleasant surprise in his brow.
"I can handle this song," Su Wan nodded with a light laugh, "as long as you don’t mind my lack of skill."
The situation took a turn for the better; having soone on stage was better than nobody at all, so Xiaocaitou couldn’t help but cry tears of joy: "As long as you can play, that’s enough... Thank you so much, Senior!"
"It’s nothing." Su Wan was a bit embarrassed, "But I’ve already taken off my makeup..."
Wangzai Xiaocaitou nonchalantly waved his hand: "No problem! Your bare face already outshines all of us!"
Su Wan: "..." That’s not what she ant...
Returning from the parking lot, Fu Weiheng went straight to the audience. As soon as he reached the aisle, he noticed the vacant seat next to Xu Chengyang. Looking around, he didn’t see anyone, so Fu Weiheng took out his phone to dial, but just as Xu Chengyang, who had been chatting with Yao Ye, caught sight of him from the corner of his eye and quickly said, "God, Wanwan left her phone in the lounge, she just went to get it, she should be here soon, you can sit first."
Fu Weiheng pondered for a mont before finally sitting down in the first seat of the aisle.
About ten minutes passed, and another program on stage ended. The host imdiately ca on stage. Fu Weiheng glanced at the still empty seat beside him and then at his phone, noticing the WeChat ssage sent ten minutes ago had yet to receive a reply, making him sowhat restless.
Putting away his phone, just as he was about to get up, the host on stage finished announcing and walked off, the stage lights subsequently dimd, leaving the stage in darkness, with only so rustling sounds being heard from above. Thus, Fu Weiheng reluctantly sat back in his chair, waiting for the lights to illuminate again.
Ten seconds later, the lights suddenly burst on, and Fu Weiheng, unaccustod to the brightness, squinted before preparing to get up and leave again, when he inadvertently looked up and caught a glimpse of the drumr on stage.
He was stunned, utterly surprised.
"Oh my God! Isn’t that Wanwan!" Xu Chengyang, sitting next to an empty seat beside him, was the first to speak, his voice starkly abrupt in the abruptly quieted audience.
Yao Ye gave a sideways glance, flabbergasted: "My heavens, it really is her! How did she end up on stage just to fetch a phone?"
Qiaozi looked baffled: "Co to think of it, is she about to play the drums?"
Xu Chengyang was greatly shocked: "...Yao Ye and I have been eating and sleeping with her for more than three years and didn’t know she could do this!"
Yao Ye, watching the calm and collected Su Wan on stage, found it hard to believe: "This little girl actually has a hidden talent?"
Qiaozi: "..."
The stage lights turned a gentle warm tone, and upon receiving a cue from vocalist Wangzai Xiaocaitou, all the musicians harmoniously began to play a familiar, lyrical prelude.
Fu Weiheng sat below the stage, his elbow resting on the armrest of the chair, a few fingers gently supporting his chin, eyes fixed unwaveringly on Su Wan as she played the drums, the initial surprise on his face gradually giving way to a hint of pride.
...
[Don’t know, unclear, don’t want to, why, my heart
Clearly wants to get close, yet remains lonely until dawn
Don’t know, unclear, don’t want to, why, my heart
The splendid love always exists in solitude
To give you my very best love again...]
The girl’s unique voice perford the song ’Gentle’ to perfection, as its na suggests, the audience below seemingly infected by the poignant lyrics, spontaneously sang along with the lody, bringing the gala to a fulfilled conclusion.
