Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 491 - 220 Fate Makes Me Pretend to Be Awesome_2

"Put your heart back in its place, and make sure it’s secure."

Gou Huai licked his lips, excited and confident, "Then get ready to scream, your idol is about to show off!"

What time is it, and you’re still joking around!

Chen Nuanhan couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

But such a Su Huai also made her feel extremely excited, no, excitement isn’t quite the right word to describe the sudden acceleration of her heartbeat.

From Su Huai, she saw the core quality that a real man should have: strength.

Then she felt overwhelmed by this omnipresent strength, both expectant and anxious about what would happen next, with her heart hanging high in a future split between hope and fear, making her dazzled and bewildered.

She was even more nervous than Su Huai.

But there was no more time for admonitions, as the judges outside were already evaluating the last contestant’s singing, and the host Li Youyou was so anxious her lips turned white.

Su Huai turned his head to Pei Shuyu, "Senior, take your time to get ready, make it perfect, I’ll make a path for you."

Pei Shuyu was naturally grateful, with an unprecedented gentleness in her eyes, "Then I’ll leave it to you."

Zhang Ye and Nan Guangzhu finally let go of their worries, exhaling a great sigh of relief.

Such a reliable person as Su Huai, daring to go on stage, must surely have ample confidence, leaving it to him would definitely be alright!

"Huai, it’s all on you now!"

Nan Guangzhu seized the last chance, blabbering nonstop.

"I’ll let Youyou go on stage first to buy some time, delaying as much as we can, then you go straight on to perform. Wait until Yu is ready and she will signal you from the side passage. Don’t leave the stage until you see Yu..."

Zhang Ye intervened, "Right, what are you going to perform?"

Su Huai looked at Wu Tianyou, who was grinning foolishly, and said nonchalantly, "Isn’t there a piano on stage? Just push it to the middle and go with singing while playing."

"Wow!" Nan Guangzhu gave a thumbs-up, "You really hide your light under a bushel, Huai!"

Zhang Ye had no time for pleasantries, hastily stripping off his jacket, "Brother, we’re about the same size, just wear my clothes to get by..."

"No need."

Su Huai waved his hand to decline, pulled the hood of his sweatshirt over his head, and flashed a grin.

"Just like this, I’m off."

He walked toward the corridor and didn’t look back.

Zhang Ye stared at his retreating figure in astonishment, still holding his suit jacket in hand, all words turning into one exclamation: Damn, he’s so good at putting on an act!

The hood wasn’t big enough and felt uncomfortable, so Su Huai slightly slumped his shoulders, hung his head, and walked with his hands stuffed in his sweatshirt pockets, seeming utterly complacent.

As if he was strolling on a most ordinary night, heading to a most ordinary street-side food stand to chat.

He hadn’t chosen a fine evening on purpose, nor had he said goodbye to anyone, just wrapped in a coat he often wore, carrying only keys and a phone.

Stepping over the shadow of the host Li Youyou, he casually burst into the view of thousands, amidst the noisy crowd, and never looked back.

Nan Guangzhu was dumbfounded.

"Is he... isn’t he way too fierce?!"

Xia Yu, Sao Ji, Bai Huitian, and others who were a bit further away were perplexed and hurried over, asking cluelessly, "Where’s Huai going?!"

Chen Nuanhan put her hand on her forehead, "To sing..."

"What the hell?!"

Sao Ji yelled out, causing everyone to turn their heads and look at each other.

He hurriedly covered his mouth—with both hands.

Immediately after, Bai Huitian asked in a trembling voice, "Su Huai?! Going on stage?! To sing?!"

"What’s the matter?"

Zhang Ye and others were quite puzzled by their reaction. Didn’t you guys have confidence in Su Huai?

But Nan Guangzhu had a mysterious trust in Su Huai.

"Oh! You guys are Huai’s roommates, right? Is Huai’s singing really that dominant?"

"Um..."

He successfully stumped all the victims of the last KTV carnage.

The brothers and sisters looked at each other with sweaty backs.

"Dominant is for sure... just wait and you’ll hear it..."

The responding Sao Ji looked utterly despondent.

Dominance was for certain, but the degree of dominance might be beyond your expectations...

But seriously, who in the hell thought this was a good idea?

Really not afraid of a major performance mishap, huh?!

But he had no choice, he couldn’t reveal the truth.

At this point, could he really let Huai down by calling for someone to urgently pull him off the stage?!

Shu Shengnan pulled Chen Nuanhan aside, unusually losing her composure.

"Whose terrible idea was this?! He loves to mess around, fearing nothing and no one, and you actually didn’t stop him?!"

Chen Nuanhan felt both anxious and angry, giving Chu Changkuo a fierce glare before turning to look for Wu Tianyou.

Neither of you two is getting away!

Just you wait for me!

But now wasn’t the time for settling accounts. She pulled Shu Shengnan forcefully, hurrying towards the side of the stage.

"Don’t ask anymore! If you ask, it’s because I believe in him!"

Bai Huitian and Shu Shengnan looked at her as if she were crazy, every step they took towards the front written with resistance.

"If you two were stuffed into a furnace and cremated, I bet even after all the ashes, there would still be a thick skin and a mouth left!"

Chen Nuanhan defiantly lifted her chin, not listening, not listening!

The group hustled towards the waiting area, and except for Pei Shuyu who was on a mission, almost everyone had arrived.

Meanwhile, on the stage.

Li Youyou’s palms were sweating profusely, utterly confused by Su Huai’s actions.

Didn’t we agree that I would go first to fill in, introduce you, buy some time?

You followed me and came out already, what am I going to do now?

Su Huai completely ignored Li Youyou’s frantic eyes and signals, all of which were unnecessary at this moment.

He walked silently to the piano at the edge of the stage, sat down amidst the buzzing crowd, Li Youyou turned to look at him, the judges lifted their heads to identify him, and thousands in the room followed him with their eyes...

He just sat firmly, his head bowed, looking at the piano keys.

This was Su Huai’s first time sitting in front of a piano in real life, counting both his lives, the instruments he had touched were few.

Yet, he didn’t feel unfamiliar at all. The real, tangible knowledge in his mind and his eager fingers reminded him that this was just a big toy, nothing difficult, play it however you want.

The Level 10 piano skills from Gu Jiuyue were too solid; she wasn’t the kind of child who practiced piano solely for the exams. She received the most orthodox and professional musical education. The reason she could only play up to Level 10 was that her body couldn’t withstand climbing any higher. frёeωebɳovel.com

And Su Huai, who had received this gift, could play the accompaniment he needed even with his eyes closed.

Not complete, but sufficient.

Beyond piano skills, he also acquired many other musical abilities from Gu – proficiency in sight-reading music, playing from a score, basic musical knowledge, elementary musical appreciation skills, pitch accuracy +40, appreciation +20, talent enhancement, Voice of Nature...

Originally, when he only acquired the Voice of Nature, he had some issues with pitch accuracy, and it didn’t integrate well, which led to him singing a murderous high note at KTV.

But things were different now. Dude wasn’t the novice he used to be.

Right now, it was actually the perfect time to show off.

Su Huai smiled lightly, making Li Youyou, who kept stealing glances at him, skip a beat, her introduction becoming a bit disordered.

"Next, is a surprise we’ve prepared for everyone. During the time the judges are ranking the contestants, we’ve specially invited two well-known campus figures to bring us a special performance..."

She felt a sense of absurdity; even now, she had no idea what song Su Huai was going to sing.

If this were a highly serious formal evening, this sort of oversight could already be classified as a stage mishap.

Too bad it wasn’t.

So she decided to end the unnecessary and not particularly needed filler introduction, leaving just one concise sentence.

"So, please enjoy the performance brought to you by Su Huai, a freshman from the School of Management’s Big Data class!"

The stage went dark, a spotlight shone down, the bright light covered Su Huai from a slanted angle above, he slowly raised his hand, gently pressing down the first note.

No opening speech, no nonsense, just a performance freely spreading through the noise.

This wasn’t a good start, but when Su Huai’s beautiful and long hands were raised, caught by the light mid-air, projected on the big screen, the noise in the entire auditorium immediately decreased by half.

Relaxing notes flowed out, and the young man opened his mouth simultaneously.

"When that star appears on the horizon..."

The first line of the lyrics came out... no, as soon as the words "on the horizon" were uttered, the entire auditorium fell completely silent.

The students stopped their whisperings, judges ceased their discussions, and a few people looked around bewilders, questioning the source of the sound.

On the darkened stage, only that single beam of light remained, shining on that patch of divine purpose.

Chen Nuanhan... was dumbstruck.
