Chapter 292 What awaits you on Christmas Eve is Shura Field!
We walked from the library to the event venue covered in snowflakes. The stage was set up in advance. The organizer obviously did not expect that the snow would fall at such a perfect time.
The audience was a little more popular than Su Chengyi expected. The cold snowflakes did not extinguish their enthusiasm. Instead, they felt that it was a symbol of romanticism.
The snowy night sky, the branches covered with frost, the warm lights, and the crowd singing along to the music in low voices.
Su Chengyi stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, putting aside subjective factors and gave an objective evaluation of "really romantic".
"This way, this way!"
Li Tao waved to him from behind the stage.
Su Chengyi nodded, walked around in a circle, and walked next to him.
"Your program has been submitted, you are the last one, don't be nervous."
Li Tao smiled and pointed to him the position on the program list.
To be honest, Su Chengyi hoped that he would be the first one, so that he could just leave after the performance.
Why bother getting cold here.
At seven o'clock, staff finally began to maintain order.
There were also people carrying a large basket of apples and handing them out one by one.
“Happy Christmas Eve, classmates!”
Su Chengyi nodded his thanks and took it.
There is actually a Peking University label on the apple, which is quite unique.
He put the apple into his pocket.
He glanced at the process on the program list just now. In fact, there were not many programs to be performed. It was the later activities that were more attractive.
Although they are all old-fashioned party games that junior high school students may find childish, they are still attractive to college students.
The first show was a song and dance performance, performed by several girls from the dance club.
Su Chengyi was not interested in this program. He lowered his head and stared at the apple in his hand for a while.
I feel like chewing it.
But I thought it hadn’t been washed yet, so I had to give up.
But when the first lyrics came out, he raised his head.
Although, what they danced was the new song of the 101st Group.
When the public thought that the 101st group would continue the style they had when they debuted, they found another way and suddenly released a very energetic song.
This is the song being performed on the stage now.
The student standing in position C, that is, Chen Jin's position, seems to be the leader of the dance club. He dances more naturally and beautifully than the students next to him.
Of course, it is still far behind compared to the original singer.
"Tellme! Yes or Yes~"
Su Chengyi silently shouted the words of support in her heart to the rhythm.
Unexpectedly, the audience in the audience was much more enthusiastic than him, and they immediately followed him loudly.
If you have a cheering stick, it will be almost the same as a concert.
More than halfway through the song, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became ablaze.
"It's! Simple! Y! E! S! Hey!"
The stage lighting was also very powerful, and everyone in the audience was shaking their heads and singing along.
Su Chengyi had the urge to record a video for Chen Jinzhi to watch, but after thinking about it, she might be at an event now, so she had to give up.
This song was obviously very successful as an opening song, and the surrounding body temperature increased by at least three to four degrees Celsius.
Su Chengyi silently unbuttoned the collar of his coat.
The next show is more common.
The newly appointed president of the magic club performs magic, and lucky audience members are randomly selected to come on stage to cooperate.
Su Chengyi could see the back from his angle. He thought for a moment and slightly shifted his gaze.
I always feel that being able to see through magic is a bit immoral and a bit embarrassing.
The magician on the stage was probably afraid of making mistakes, so he chose to perform the more common card magic trick.
It's basically a simple little magic trick where the spectator is asked to randomly draw cards, and then he can find out which one it is.
Su Chengyi thought for a while, there are many forms of such performances, so there should be no problem.
So I relaxed and started to appreciate it again.
"Okay, next I will find an audience member to cooperate with my performance~"
The magician waved his robe, then personally stepped off the stage, and walked out of the audience amidst the cheers. Pull out a girl.
There is a kind of cultural performance in kindergarten. You can get gifts by going on stage and playing games such as "Musical Chairs" or "Idiom Solitaire".
Su Chengyi was thinking this when he suddenly met the eyes of this "lucky spectator".
It’s actually Ye Ju.
She was shivering in a cotton coat, and the smile on her face was fake at first glance. It looked like she did not come to the stage voluntarily.
Could it be a shill?
Su Chengyi was silent for a long time. No, why did he suddenly have a bad premonition for the magician?
"Okay, beauty, please look at this deck of playing cards in my hand."
Ye Ju nodded quickly, feeling like he wanted to finish the performance and get off work as soon as possible.
It’s just childcare.
Su Chengyi basically confirmed his suspicion.
Otherwise, why would we invite such a reluctant person if there were so many enthusiastic audiences in the audience?
It must have been agreed in advance.
"This is just an ordinary deck of playing cards, right? Fifty-four, no more, no less. Okay, now let's unfold it"
The playing cards in the magician's hand After showing it several times, rub it with your fingers to spread it into an even fan shape.
“Come on, classmate, please help me get it.”
The magician smiled.
“Okay.”
Ye Ju reluctantly took his hand out of his pocket and took the arranged playing cards.
“OK, very good. Then, next is the moment to witness the miracle.”
The magician snapped his fingers, showing his confidence.
However, before he could show it, an accident happened.
Ye Ju didn't know whether it was because he was too cold or something else, but he shivered suddenly, and now he lost control of the cards in his hand.
With her exclamation, the colorful playing cards flew away and scattered all over the floor!
A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the audience.
The expression on the magician's face instantly turned green, and his whole body froze in place.
Well, Ye Ju is really not a shill.
Sorry, he made a miscalculation.
Su Chengyi's habit of being embarrassed suddenly broke out.
It’s so miserable that I can’t bear to look at it.
"Oh my God! Sorry!!! I didn't mean it!"
Ye Ju carefully put the remaining three playing cards back into the magician's hand.
Anyway, the magic session passed like this.
Although the newly appointed president of the Magic Club suffered, at least the audience at the scene gained happiness.
This is love without boundaries.
The programs passed one after another. Although the snow was getting heavier and heavier, the audience still maintained high enthusiasm.
Beijing University is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
In this weather, there was actually a person wearing a tuxedo and playing Mozart on the piano. Su Chengyi reasonably suspected that he had twenty warm babies stuck under his tuxedo.
There was also a splash-ink landscape painting on the spot. Su Chengyi felt that he would be so cold when he was on stage that he could not hold his brush steadily.
The only one that is more reasonable is the Northeastern group that performs Yangko dance. They once again brought the enthusiastic atmosphere to a new level.
“Next, we invite Su Chengyi, a 2014 law school graduate, to sing for us the song “Suzhou River”.”
"Come on, brother, we will videotape you."
"No need."
Facing the cameras raised by the three roommates, Su Chengyi gave a very firm refusal gesture.
He coughed and walked onto the stage.
Although he said he chose the music randomly, it was actually Chen Jinzhi who chose it for him.
It is said that it suits his temperament very well.
Su Chengyi has listened to it dozens of times in the past two days, but still doesn’t understand what fits his temperament.
However, there is a Cantonese version of "Suzhou River" with the same melody but different words.
In comparison, he prefers the song "Murong Xue".
The name is nice and the words are better.
As soon as Su Chengyi came on stage, the audience seemed very excited.
After the last debate with BGI and the growth effect that Deng Yizhou boasted about, he has become somewhat famous.
Although none of this was what he wanted.
Su Cheng sighed indifferently, nodded sideways, and signaled to the staff on the side that they could start.
The prelude is melodious and gentle, just like the name "Suzhou River", it is a Jiangnan tune.
Being stared at by the scorching eyes from the audience, I was still a little nervous.
Su Chengyi counted the beats in his heart and sang out the first line:
"Farewell to you before leaving,
not enough appreciation,
point A plate of acacia beans,
Send a light boat on the winter solstice. "
As the last note fell smoothly, Su Chengyi suddenly felt a thump in his heart.
It's over, how can we sing "Murong Xue"!!!
Fortunately, the tones of Cantonese are better than each other. Mandarin is richer, and since the capital is in the north, people generally hear less Cantonese.
After he sang these two lines, everyone in the audience thought it was a deliberate arrangement, and they were amazed for a moment. , no one noticed that something was wrong
Su Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, but as a result, he forgot the original words and had no choice but to continue singing along.
"The red clouds will melt you away, and the snow around you will be white."
Su Chengyi originally thought that the problem was not big, and she could just finish singing "Murong Snow".
Unexpectedly, the house leaked and it rained all night, and the accompaniment stopped suddenly at this time!
The audience also realized something was wrong and started discussing with some surprise.
"The silk embroidery produced in Gusu has covered my weight loss."
Su Chengyi really froze at this time. While continuing to sing a cappella, he glanced sideways at the staff.
The other party also looked confused and shook his head at him to indicate that he didn't know what was going on and there was nothing he could do.
Li Tao and Matthew had also gone around. Matthew took the mouse and poked at the computer, while Li Tao helplessly made a "pause" gesture to him.
There is probably something wrong with the accompaniment.
There was no other way, Su Chengyi could only bite the bullet and continue singing.
But in this way, the singing effect will be much worse.
And without accompaniment, you can clearly hear your own voice echoing in the snow, which is really embarrassing.
After singing the last line before the climax, Su Chengyi even had the urge to put down the microphone and call the curtain.
But at this time, a piano accompaniment suddenly sounded behind him. The light and melodious sound of the piano connected with his voice very naturally, as if this was the arrangement from the beginning.
Su Chengyi turned his head in surprise and saw Chu Qingmian.
She sat in front of the piano that she had just used to perform a solo, and blinked at him through the falling snow.
Su Chengyi held the microphone a little harder and calmed down instantly.
Chu Qingmian obviously came to the stage in a hurry, with an abnormal redness on her face after running in cold weather.
But her fingers danced on the keys, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon and fluttering its wings.
At this moment, Su Chengyi suddenly remembered the lyrics of "Suzhou River".
“Love is just love,
Great love is also love in the end.
No one exists deep in the blue sky,
Reminiscing about nostalgia,
there is still no way to escape and we have to stay out of it. ”
His voice is very clean, and it matches the piano accompaniment, which is a perfect match.
Snow fell on the shoulders of the two people on the stage, everything was just right.
< br>It was actually a bit touching to hear it.
"I'm not me,
When you turn around and leave, it's not me in Suzhou.
And the beautiful scenery conceals my life as good as before,
But nothing,
< br>It’s just holding your smoke.”
In the last verse, Su Chengyi followed his heart and sang his favorite verse.
Chu Qingmian added several emotional accents in this paragraph. The audience quickly understood and waved their arms to support.
The atmosphere was very good, as if they were not in the northern capital at this time, but in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River where the snow was falling.
The song "Suzhou River + Murong Xue" was finally finished. Su Chengyi bowed amidst the applause, turned around and pulled Chu Qingmian off the stage together.
“Why are you here?”
Su Chengyi felt that her fingertips were a little stiff from the cold, so she used her palms to help warm them.
“I was going to come, but I was a little late.”
Chu Qingmian smiled.
Today is Christmas Eve, of course I want to spend it with the people I like.
Seeing that there were a lot of snowflakes on the hair on her forehead, Su Chengyi couldn't help but use her hand to flick it.
"You've been of great help."
"Humph."
Chu Qingmian narrowed her eyes proudly, and couldn't help but say:
"But You sing a cappella very well too.”
“Have you heard this song before?”
Su Chengyi later realized that he had asked a nonsense question, how could he play it if he had never heard of it before.
"Yeah, but I'm not very familiar with it. I was somewhat free to express myself just now."
Chu Qingmian stuck out her tongue. She usually played more classical music, Most pop songs are played casually.
Fortunately, the two of them had a tacit understanding, and there was nothing wrong when they worked together.
The stage was returned to the host, and she was a little confused at this time. She didn't know whether it was a stage accident or a deliberate arrangement.
But in short, a good effect is a good thing.
The host happily started the next process.
“Have all the friends present received our apples?”
“We have received—arrived—”
The audience responded in unison .
Not to mention that college students are easy to manage. Everyone is very cooperative.
Su Chengyi took out the apple he had just received from his pocket and waved it in front of Chu Qingmian's eyes.
"Do you have it? If not, I'll give it to you."
"I have it."
Chu Qingmian turned his back and pointed at her down jacket hat.
Su Chengyi was a little confused, but still reached in and fumbled around.
Hey guys, it’s just like Doraemon’s pocket, it has everything.
Apples, lollipops, and chocolate gold coins
They should all be given as gifts during Christmas activities.
Su Chengyi took out the apples and threw the candies back in disgust.
"Hey, hey, hey, I won these by participating in small games. Please respect them!"
Chu Qingmian took the apple and raised her eyes to glare at him.
“The concession stand is fifty cents each.”
“It’s different!”
“Okay, if you name ten players, I will reward you with a gold coin. Now Is it challenging? ”
"Not at all. Jordan, Women's Sun and Moon, well, Beckham, Michael Owen, Maradona"
Chu Qingmian counted them one by one with her fingers.
Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Okay, I’ll buy you a box later.”
“Why?”
"It's much better than I thought."
"How stupid do you think I am!"
While the two were noisy, the host had already announced how to play the game. .
"The apples we handed out just now all have labels of our school on them. Did you see them?
Now, take off the labels. Students with serial number 23, please come up to the stage~"
Su Chengyi was shocked. Here it is again, another lottery session like this.
He recalled many unlucky moments in his mind.
But you still have to cooperate, otherwise if it is really him, the process of the event will be delayed.
Su Chengyi sighed and carefully opened the label.
The number that comes into view is 25.
Su Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he passed by.
“Ah!”
Chu Qingmian on the other side felt a little disappointed after seeing his excitement, so he casually opened his own.
Unexpectedly, serial number 23 is in front of my eyes.
Su Chengyi quickly raised his hand and pushed Chu Qingmian up who was about to run away.
Although the other party was so angry that he bared his teeth and claws, he still came on stage obediently.
Su Chengyi folded his arms and watched the show leisurely in the audience.
"Wow~ Classmate, you are so lucky! We gave away more than two hundred apples, and you are the chosen one tonight!
The snack gift package here belongs to you!"
The host sounded excited.
Miss Chu smiled politely and replied:
"I think this luck does not only belong to me, but should be shared with everyone present."
Oh, you are so good at talking. .
Su Chengyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth while watching the excitement.
There was a burst of applause from the audience at the right time.
"My classmate is so generous, I will give you a small red flower as a reward."
The host actually pulled out a rose from nowhere and gave it to Chu Qingmian.
It looks like it’s fake, the petals are very stiff.
Seeing that the other party was also a girl, Chu Qingmian took it and thanked her with a smile.
“Our friendship process also starts from the lucky classmates~
Please choose one of the petals and read the words on it! ”
So I’m waiting here, all routines, all routines.
Su Chengyi made a “tsk” sound, watched Chu Qingmian pull off a petal, and said hesitantly:
“Please select a classmate in the field and hug him/her for one minute. ”
It is somewhat different from bar games. If it is in a bar, the rules will definitely specify that the opposite sex is required.
Su Chengyi looked up at Chu Qingmian on the stage. She was obviously a little embarrassed and her eyelashes were trembling with nervousness.
A hug is no big deal, he thought.
Besides, it’s still in the name of a game.
What is this guy struggling with?
There were already many volunteers in the audience, and the booing was getting louder and louder.
Chu Qingmian took a deep breath, turned around and walked off the stage as if she had made up her mind.
She was still dodging at first, but when she really stood in front of him, her twinkling eyes became firm again.
She handed over the fake petal with the rules written on it.
Su Chengyi looked at her slightly trembling fingertips, and without hesitation, reached out and took it.
The crowd cheered and lamented the missed opportunity.
"Get ready! We'll start timing right away!"
The host was so excited that his voice broke.
What is more exciting than having pretty boys and pretty girls play this ambiguous game?
Su Chengyi stood there with his arms spread out, a bit of confusion in his waiting eyes.
Chu Qingmian's heart beat like a drum, she lowered her eyes and hugged him gently.
"Why are you hesitating?"
Su Chengyi asked in a lowered voice.
“It’s nothing.”
Chu Qingmian was glad that he couldn’t see his expression when he hugged her.
Otherwise he would definitely be able to guess what she was thinking.
On Christmas Eve, which she had given special meaning to, this minute suddenly became very long.
Long enough for her to process what she was going to say next.
Su Chengyi had no idea what the person in his arms was thinking. He was just counting down accurately according to the rules of the game.
Seventeen, sixteen, fifteen
He has always counted seconds accurately. He learned it by following the hands of the watch when he was bored.
However, the next second, Su Chengyi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Under the Christmas tree in the distance, stood a very familiar figure to him.
A person who must not appear here.
Almost the moment his eyes were about to fall there, she turned around and left without any hesitation, disappearing into the shadow of the Christmas tree.
Where is the countdown?
Not sure.
Emotion made him want to catch up immediately, while reason made him wait for the last few seconds.
In just a few seconds, Su Chengyi deeply understood what brain downtime meant.
Because the person standing there seemed to be Chen Jinzhi.
