"Alright, okay, we’re short on time and there are still many gifts to give out, so let’s not linger too much here,"
Shen Yu’s voice urging on came through the microphone and the male host was smart enough to stop at the right time, as pressing further would be inappropriate.
However, he still wanted to chat with Zhou Yuwen for a moment.
At this moment, the audience was actually discussing what Su Qing had just said.
Remember, Su Qing mentioned that back in high school, he wrote songs for her!
That revealed way too much information.
She and Zhou Yuwen knew each other in high school!
And Zhou Yuwen even wrote songs for her!
What kind of songs can a guy write for a girl? They must be love songs, right?
"Zhou Yuwen, you know that girl on stage as well?" You Changjin started gossiping.
Chang Hao hummed in agreement and thought for a moment, "Seems like she’s Zhou Yuwen’s ex-girlfriend."
"?" You Changjin was stunned for a moment, in disbelief.
Goodness, is Zhou Yuwen that much of a player?
Hardly have we seen a few beauties, and they all turn out to be Zhou Yuwen’s ex-girlfriends!?
The male host on stage was frantically trying to save the situation.
Meanwhile, Zheng Yanyan was pushed aside by Su Qing, who then positioned herself right beside Zhou Yuwen, smiling.
Of course, Zheng Yanyan’s face was cold at the moment, and since she wasn’t speaking into the microphone, the audience couldn’t hear her.
Across from Su Qing, Zheng Yanyan asked Zhou Yuwen, "Zhou Yuwen, you’ve written songs for Su Qing? How come I didn’t know about it?"
With a smile on her face, Su Qing put down the microphone, maintaining her smile toward the audience and spoke indifferently, "There’s a lot you don’t know. How long have you and Zhou Yuwen been dating? Do you know how long we dated?"
"Oh my, it’s really hot on this stage, I’m sweating~" The male host had already pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, cursing to himself that on the stage with four people, he was the only outsider.
What kind of good karma did I accumulate in a past life to witness such juicy drama?
If it hadn’t been for the need to mention those sponsors’ names, the male host would have taken Zhou Yuwen and the others off the stage long ago.
Zheng Yanyan was grinding her teeth, "Zhou Yuwen, make it clear! Did you or did you not write songs for her?"
"Why so fierce? If you have something to say, come at me, not at Zhou Yuwen," Su Qing rolled her eyes and snorted to express herself.
Zhou Yuwen also tried to appear as normal as possible, lowering his voice, "I say you two, could you please mind the situation a bit?"
"Hmph!" Zheng Yanyan was about to cry from anger, she knew Zhou Yuwen could play the guitar, but she had no idea he had written songs for Su Qing!
Finally, the names of the sponsors were all read out, and Zhou Yuwen also expressed his thanks to the sponsors of the evening party.
Following the host’s announcement of the next act, Zhou Yuwen was finally able to push the bicycle off the stage.
Zhou Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief, earlier on stage, he was genuinely scared, always feeling that Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan could start fighting the next second.
Fortunately, both were somewhat restrained.
But that restraint only lasted until they got off the stage.
Su Qing was happy, she hadn’t intended to do anything to Zheng Yanyan, she just wanted to disgust her a little bit.
And indeed, she had succeeded.
Just as she stepped off the stage, Zheng Yanyan chased her down and grabbed Su Qing’s arm, "Tell me clearly, what song did Zhou Yuwen write for you!"
"Oh, Zhou Yuwen, your girlfriend is so fierce, she hurt me!" Su Qing immediately ducked to the other side of Zhou Yuwen.
"What are you pretending for!"
Zheng Yanyan was about to explode with anger, she pulled Zhou Yuwen over, determined to show this Su bitch a lesson.
With an exasperated tone, Zhou Yuwen said, "Can you two please have a limit?"
At this moment, Shen Yu hurried over, "Thank heavens, you two gave me some face. Big brother and big sister, that’s a stage you know, what on earth were you trying to do!?"
Zheng Yanyan said, "Zhou Yuwen, did you really write songs for Su Qing!?"
"Can’t you see she’s just teasing you? How could I have that much talent!" Zhou Yuwen said, annoyed, and he started to blame Su Qing a little, I mean, even if you’re jealous, shouldn’t you avoid making things up?
Shen Yu was frightened by Su Qing’s gaze and said, "I didn’t say that, I just meant that some things, once they’re over, they’re over."
"Isn’t there a saying, ’there’s plenty of fish in the sea’?"
"Besides, you’re so outstanding."
Those words were meant to console Su Qing, but they also sounded like she was trying to convince herself.
After all, at the start of the semester, Shen Yu did have a crush on Zhou Yuwen, but she was a girl who knew her manners. Now that Zhou Yuwen was with Zheng Yanyan, thumb and finger perfectly joined.
If Shen Yu kept pursuing him, what would she become?
That’s why she had truly decided to let go and was trying to persuade Su Qing to do the same.
Yet what she didn’t expect was to be met with Su Qing’s scorn. Su Qing sneered, "What do you know?"
"So when you said you liked Zhou Yuwen before, it was all fake, wasn’t it?" Su Qing suddenly understood.
"?" Shen Yu was taken aback.
But Su Qing just sneered: "I should have known. How could you possibly like Zhou Yuwen? You only noticed him because of my reaction before. But you and Zhou Yuwen aren’t even the same kind of people. Your feelings for Zhou Yuwen aren’t love."
Shen Yu wanted to argue, but before she could speak—
Su Qing asked, "Do you even know what love is?"
"Your so-called love is merely a fleeting joy. You’ve never had any contact with Zhou Yuwen; how could you possibly have truly loved him?"
"True love is about cherishing the consistent and unwearying. Even if I explain it, you wouldn’t understand. You don’t love Zhou Yuwen at all, so you just don’t understand me," Su Qing said with a newfound sense of superiority.
However, what Su Qing said wasn’t wrong. At this stage, Shen Yu merely harbored a simple liking for Zhou Yuwen; she had hardly spent time with him.
She didn’t know that Zhou Yuwen would bring her an umbrella in the rain.
He would make lunch boxes for Su Qing every day.
He had even written songs for Su Qing!
"No way, are you sure this was high school romance?" Shen Yu asked awkwardly.
"You don’t believe me either,"
Su Qing pouted a little, then thought of something. She said, "I may not be able to sing it."
"But I can write down a couple of lines from the song Zhou Yuwen wrote for me; then you’ll know whether I’m telling the truth or not!"
Su Qing was always off-key when singing, so she never sang in front of others, and even reading the lyrics felt embarrassing.
But she could write down the lyrics.
There was no need to write them all.
Just a part. Like this:
I don’t blame this passion
There’s no time for endless rehearsals
It’s the tolerance of years
The time for second thoughts
If we can’t meet with tears in our eyes
Can we still face each other with a blush?
Just like the rush of that year
Carving ’together forever’
Such a beautiful lie
If the past is still worth longing for
With her excellent handwriting, Su Qing quickly scribbled down these neat and beautiful lines. When she finished and handed them to Shen Yu with satisfaction, Shen Yu only had to read the first couple of lines to be stunned.
In disbelief, she looked at Su Qing: "This,"
"Is this really something Zhou Yuwen wrote for you?"
"You believe me now, don’t you!?" Su Qing finally felt happy. Experience more tales on novelhall.Côm
And Shen Yu, once again gazing at the lyrics on the paper...
