“Liu Gao Cun has been rejecting Fang Tian all along, what does that mean? It means Liu Gao Cun doesn't know Fang Tian's identity!”
“I only found out about the latest news just now! They weren't together! Who benefits from this? It must be Zhang Ruo Nan, who's always been close to him!”
The girl felt like she had just gotten a big scoop.
On the other side.
Zheng Hui and her roommates were sitting among the crowd, also watching Fang Tian on stage.
Their expressions were incredibly complex, was Fang Tian going to sing "Huo Yuan Jia" or "Nine Myriad Words" again?
…
The secretary in the audience casually glanced at Chen Da Hai.
Chen Da Hai immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Stay calm!
Fang Tian will be fine!
After all, he’s Jing Tian’s brother...
Backstage, Zhang Ruo Nan glared at Fang Tian fiercely:
“Why didn’t you tell me the name of the program! I was in a panic too!”
Cheng Yi’s face had fallen, this was a terrible start.
How to salvage the situation…
“I’m going on.” Fang Tian said softly.
He picked up a guitar and walked onto the stage.
On his way up, he quietly popped a gold throat lozenge into his mouth.
As Fang Tian went on stage, the audience gradually fell silent.
“Click.”
The lights on stage turned off, plunging the stage into darkness.
On the big screen behind Fang Tian, a video started playing.
“Today, the aircraft carrier ‘Jinling Ship,’ a major national project, was launched into the sea, with nearly a hundred students from our school’s engineering college rushing to the scene to observe and learn.”
“I, like you, am incredibly proud!”
This was the subtitle, clearly explaining the background.
A wave of "Ah, so that’s it" sounds arose from the audience.
They all knew about the aircraft carrier ‘Jinling Ship.’
Jinling University was proud to be responsible for installing the ship’s power system.
All the professors had participated in the installation this time.
No wonder the engineering college’s chorus couldn’t perform, they’d gone to observe and learn.
Just then, faint music began to play in the video.
A smile appeared on Fang Tian’s face.
Because this was an original piano piece.
Putting it in the video was a complete dimensional strike!
This piano piece was called "Like a Gentle Breeze" and was perfect as background music.
Fang Tian had hesitated for a long time before biting the bullet and buying it from the system store to put in the video.
The music was very faint, but some students who were paying close attention noticed something unusual.
“What music is this? I’ve never heard it before.”
“There’s a lot you haven’t heard! But I have to say, it’s really nice.”
“The music college people should know, ask them later.”
“I don’t know why, but I’m suddenly feeling a little sad.”
The subtitles on the video turned the page, and the hall fell silent again.
Everyone focused on the big screen:
“Many seniors who were planning to perform for a month couldn’t come to the performance. This is definitely a kind of regret.”
“Our youth always has various kinds of regrets.”
“So, what are some other regrets about graduation? We interviewed some students… ”
The people below the stage were stunned, what was he doing?
The camera randomly switched.
A male student appeared on screen, packing his luggage.
The video showed the student's identity.
Gu Tian Le, a third-year student in the Engineering College's Geographic Information Science program.
Then, a voice came from off-screen:
“Senior, will you feel regretful about not being able to perform on stage this time?”
The student in the video scratched his head: “Yes, I’ve been preparing for a month. Actually, I really wanted to give my seniors a send-off, but I had a mission, so I couldn’t make it.”
“If you could say something to the seniors graduating this year, what would you say?”
“Well, I wish my seniors all the best, and thank all the seniors who have helped me.”
Down below the stage, a graduate who knew Gu Tian Le smiled.
In the blink of an eye, we’re all graduating, this guy is already a junior.
The screen switched again, showing a girl in a formal outfit.
The voice-over introduced her: Xie Ke Yin, a fourth-year student in the Mathematics College.
“Student, is there anything you want to say about graduation?”
The girl shyly smiled: “I want to say… after everyone graduates, you’re all busy finding jobs, going to graduate school, and you meet less often. But can you please not forget.”
“Don’t… turn the graduation photo into the last time you see each other.”
Some of the graduates in the audience lowered their heads and chuckled.
Yeah.
Everyone is busy during graduation season, forget the last time you see each other, some people are too busy going their separate ways that they don't even come for the photos.
By this point, the video had resonated with many people.
The video on the big screen switched and switched again:
“Ah, I won't forget the chicken noodle soup in the cafeteria, I'm going to go out into the world, but I'll come back to eat it!”
“I want to thank the dorm manager. Four years, and she never confiscated my rice cooker, hahaha. After I find a job, I'll come back and see her.”
…
Finally, the screen switched to a young man.
This was Cai Xu Kun, a graduate of the Engineering College who was now studying for his Master's degree at Jinling University.
“Senior, is there anything you want to say about graduation?”
“Graduation?”
The young man took a deep breath: “My best friends went back to their hometowns, one is in Hainan, the other is in Guangzhou, it’s hard to see each other even once. I hope there are still opportunities for us to get together… ”
The screen switched again, showing all the people who had appeared before.
“Actually, if I had the chance, I still want to properly say goodbye to everyone.”
“Yeah, I want to tell my seniors… see you again in the world!”
“I want to tell my girlfriend, baby, be happy after you go back to your hometown. In the past, I should have cherished you more… ”
“I can’t perform in the show, and now I have to go out for an internship. I’d like to get together again if I have the chance.”
…
The voices in the video, one by one, finally slowly merged into one sentence:
“Walking along the way, stopping and starting…
The moment I step out of the station…
I hesitate a little… ”
The graduates in the audience finally came to their senses.
There are many kinds of regrets about graduation, but isn’t the biggest regret that everyone is busy going their separate ways and ends up not properly saying goodbye?
At this point, everyone looked at Fang Tian with complex emotions, this video really touched their hearts.
Just then, the video stopped.
Each person’s face on the screen occupied a small square.
The lights came on, and Fang Tian’s expression was solemn:
“Fang Tian from the Engineering College, on behalf of all the chorus members who couldn’t perform on stage, I dedicate this song to you. After graduation, the outside world is wonderful, but you have to come back and see us from time to time.”
“Song: ‘The Wind Rises.’ ”
This song was the 【Lin Jun Jie】 version from Earth, it was absolutely explosive!
Fang Tian lightly strummed his guitar and officially began to sing:
“Walking along the way, stopping and starting…
Following the traces of a drifting youth…
The moment I step out of the station…
I hesitate a little… ”
Fang Tian sang softly on stage.
He had also played “The Wind Rises” in his past life, but it was rusty now.
So now he was mostly just going through the motions, occasionally making some sounds.
The main thing was the accompaniment from the USB drive.
No wonder the system was so powerful.
It could provide the perfect accompaniment while also enhancing his performance style.
This is how the people below the stage saw him.
A clean-cut young man, with a guitar on his back, singing a song wholeheartedly.
“Little Fang… ”
Zhang Ruo Nan backstage couldn’t believe her eyes at this moment.
She subconsciously touched her chest and found that her heart was beating very fast.
Fang Tian’s singing continued:
“I can’t help but laugh at this feeling of nearness but shyness…
Still unable to avoid…
And the sky of Nagano…
Is still so warm…
The wind blew up the past… ”
As Fang Tian sang, pictures appeared on the big screen behind him.
The teaching building, the all-night study room, the library, the cafeteria, the artificial mountain on campus…
These were scenes that everyone in the audience was familiar with.
For a moment, many graduates felt emotional.
This song expressed a love for campus life and hope for the future.
It encouraged students to bravely face difficulties and setbacks and embrace the future with a positive attitude.
And life after graduation, work, was the students’ future…
They would also have to face many more challenges.
And the song’s first small climax was quietly approaching—
“When I first met this world…
Everything was captivating…
Watching the sky as if it were in front of me…
I was willing to go through fire and water to experience it all…
Now, having walked through this world…
Everything is captivating…
Turning over the different faces of time…
Your smile, unexpectedly, breaks into my heart… ”
…
They say that university is a small society.
After graduation, you’ll discover much later…
Everything is really good in school!
So, after entering the workforce, you’ll be captivated by everything.
“These lyrics… they’re so good.” Someone instantly had tears in their eyes.
“It’s great to have internet freedom, but we should also cherish our current time… ”
Some people started to decide that they would no longer skip class.
Just then, Fang Tian’s voice rose again———
“I was once unable to extricate myself from the vastness of the world…
I also drowned in the dreams within it…
Truth and falsehood, I did not struggle, I did not fear ridicule…
I once turned my youth into her…
I once played summer with my fingertips…
Where my heart moves, I will follow fate…
Walking against the light, let the wind and rain beat down on me… ”
On the big screen, photos began to appear of everyone from military training, all sunburned and ugly.
During the sports meet, everyone was sweating and cheering loudly.
In the dorm, some people were playing games, some were chatting.
In the library, some people were quietly reading.
The brightly lit track and field at ten o’clock at night, many students were running.
These were all familiar scenes, but after graduation, it seemed like you couldn’t see them anymore.
At this moment, Fang Tian’s lyrics quietly emerged—
“The short road, stopping and starting…
It’s also gained a few distances…
I don’t know if I’m touching a story or a mood…
Perhaps what I’m hoping for is to be enemies with time…
To see you again…
In the cool morning light…
Smiling so sweetly…
Oh~~~~~~~~~Oh~~~~~~~~~Woo woo woo woo woo woo~~~~~~~~~~ ”
Fang Tian’s sudden high notes made everyone jump.
Wow!
So awesome!
“This…” Someone suddenly froze.
“These lyrics are…”
Yeah, stopping and starting, gaining a few distances.
The friends you play with well now, maybe you’ll grow apart because of distance in the future.
After graduation, it’s hard to find three or four people to stay up all night talking, discussing the distant future.
It’s hard to find a girl who will eat in the cafeteria with you every day and be happy about it.
Maybe she fell in love with you then only because you were handsome during the debate.
And this line, “To see you again, smiling so sweetly”, how pure and beautiful that innocence must have been back then~~
At this moment, Fang Tian’s voice calmed down again—
“When I first met this world…
Everything was captivating…
Watching the sky as if it were in front of me…
I was willing to go through fire and water to experience it all…
Now, having walked through this world…
Everything is captivating…
Turning over the different faces of time…
Your smile, unexpectedly, breaks into my heart~~~~~~~~ ”
A long tail note, drawn out so long that everyone’s goosebumps were exploding!!!
Everyone watched the scene on screen.
They listened to the soaring song.
The graduates in the audience had tears in their eyes, and their eyes were filled with awe.
Boom!!!
Everyone erupted in a thunderous round of applause, all at the same time!
Clap clap clap clap!!!!
“These lyrics, they’re invincible!”
“So, this is graduation…”
“Old Three, don’t be so busy finding a job, let’s get together tomorrow.” Someone said to his roommate.
“I’ve been wanting to get together for a long time, let’s plan for the future!”
…
Backstage, Cheng Yi, Zhang Ruo Nan, and a bunch of staff stared at Fang Tian in a daze.
To be honest, they were nervous before, but now…
Zhang Ruo Nan opened her rosy mouth:
“How did that silly goose Fang Tian change his tune? I remember he can’t sing.”
“Why haven’t I heard this song before.”
Through Fang Tian’s song, she seemed to see a young man transform from being frivolous to mature and steady.
This young man was carefree in school.
But he longed to grow, to go out and boldly explore the world.
And then… he experienced the ups and downs of life, the sweetness and sadness of love.
“New song, this is a new song that Fang Tian wrote,” Cheng Yi said blankly, “I don’t know what kind of brain he has, it’s too amazing.”
“Ah??? ” All the staff were stunned.
This is a new song?
At this moment, the audience downstairs also realized this.
Why haven’t they heard this song before?
This song is so perfect for graduation season, if it existed, it should have been played out long ago!
People began to pay attention to the performance information on the screen on the side of the auditorium.
Song: ‘The Wind Rises’
Singer: Fang Tian.
It didn’t say who the original singer was or who wrote the lyrics and composed the music.
Everyone was a little confused for a moment, where did this song come from?
Only Zheng Hui had a vague feeling.
Could this be another song that Fang Tian wrote?
This…
Too unbelievable!
The performance on stage continued, Fang Tian’s singing had entered the chorus loop stage:
“I was once unable to extricate myself from the vastness of the world…
I also drowned in the dreams within it…
Truth and falsehood, I did not struggle, I did not fear ridicule…
I once turned my youth into her…
I once played summer with my fingertips…
Where my heart moves, I will follow fate…...
The evening wind blows the white hair at your temples…
Smoothing out the scars left by memories…
Light and dark intertwined in your eyes, a smile blooming…
Twilight hides your faltering steps…
Walking into the picture hidden at the head of your bed…
You in the picture, your head bowed, talking… ”
This song had a strong rhythmic feel.
Fang Tian’s passionate performance brought the atmosphere of the scene to a peak———
“I still marvel at the vastness of the world…
I also get lost in childhood love…
Truth and falsehood, I did not struggle, I did not fear ridicule…
I will eventually return my youth to her…
Along with summer played with my fingertips…
Where my heart moves, it will follow the wind…
In the name of love, are you still willing? ”
Finally, the song ended, the accompaniment faded away.
Backstage.
Zhang Ruo Nan’s cheeks were flushed.
Her hands were clasped tightly in front of her chest, her expression excited.
