Chapter 38: Chapter 038: Saving Qi Lin
After finishing a song, Qi Lin, who was sitting on the rooftop, already had tears streaming down his face.
The experts were still trying to persuade him.
His mother was crying nonstop, urging him to come back.
He stood up, choking with emotion, and all the students held their breath. Just when they thought he might jump, he turned around and rushed towards his mother.
Everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Mrs. Qi held her son tightly and started crying loudly, "Qi Lin, you’re going to scare me to death!"
Mrs. Qi was crying so hard she could barely breathe.
Qi Lin was crying too.
All the teachers breathed a sigh of relief, as the police and school security escorted Qi Lin down from the rooftop. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
This delay meant that the third period was about to start.
The students, still not satisfied, continued to discuss the song.
"What song was that?"
"Look it up, I still remember the lyrics, ’I once dreamed of roaming the world with a sword...’"
"I can’t find it."
"Such a good song should be popular; how is it possible that no one knows it? It’s not that obscure, right?"
"Could it be that the girl composed it herself?"
"Maybe she did! Her poems are great; she must be very talented!"
Everyone chimed in.
Though they didn’t see Qi Lin naked, they still felt it was rewarding.
Jiang Baocu was stunned.
She thought Sheng Tang, singing and playing on her own, looked incredibly beautiful at that moment.
Her voice was very moving!
"My heavens, you should really become a singer!" Jiang Baocu grabbed her arm, "What song is this, what song?"
"’Once You’" Sheng Tang said.
"Once You...," Jiang Baocu searched but didn’t find it, "Who sings it?"
Sheng Tang, completely unashamed, responded matter-of-factly, "I sang it, didn’t you hear just now?"
Jiang Baocu: "..."
When Sheng Tang and Jiang Baocu returned to the classroom, the classmates suddenly started applauding, led by the class president.
Sheng Tang froze.
Jiang Baocu felt a little embarrassed, shyly hiding behind Sheng Tang’s broad frame.
Sheng Tang walked up to the podium confidently and bowed to everyone, "Thank you all."
"No, no, we should thank you!" The class president said, "You set aside past grievances to calm Qi Lin and saved his life. We should be grateful to you! Let’s give Sheng Tang another round of applause!"
The classmates applauded again.
Only Jiang Wei and Feng Yijin didn’t join in.
Both of them, one with her head down silently reading her textbook, the other sneering at Sheng Tang.
When Sheng Tang returned to her seat, Feng Yijin loudly said, "It sounded terrible. Qi Lin wouldn’t really dare to jump; you just gave him a way out, don’t think you’re really all that talented!"
"Terrible?" Sheng Tang laughed, "Feng Yijin, your taste is really poor. Or you are trying to stir things up deliberately, you’re that annoying person everyone talks about, huh?"
"’Once You’ is a peak-period work by Xu Wei, one of the annual golden songs. It’s widely sung, and even years later in the talent show contests, professional singers still choose to perform it.
Anything that withstands the test of time is a masterpiece.
How could it be terrible?
As soon as Sheng Tang finished speaking, the whole class burst into laughter.
Feng Yijin had dominated the class for over a year, and the grievances she suffered in the last few days surpassed all she’d had in her entire life.
Her face changed, standing up and planning to fight Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang glanced at her indifferently, slightly raising her hand towards her.
Feng Yijin was suddenly reminded of the time she and a few others tried to ambush Sheng Tang but got thoroughly defeated. If it came to a head-on clash, she wasn’t Sheng Tang’s match, she lost even in body size.
The class president intervened, "Class is about to start, everyone quiet down."
