“I’m here to formally announce that An Nuonuo has advanced directly to the final round!”
When the judge said this, the venue erupted with enthusiastic applause.
No one opposed; everyone believed it was well-deserved by An Nuonuo.
An Nuonuo’s eyes brimmed with joy as she bowed deeply to the judges before stepping down from the stage.
Backstage, she gently hugged Jiang Xu.
“That was awesome,” Jiang Xu pinched her pert nose and said, “I bet those two are dumbfounded right now.”
An Nuonuo turned to look at Huang Xiaofei and Chen Yaoyao.
Both of their expressions were indeed not very pleasant.
What they thought was a sure thing had turned into an unexpected surprise.
Because with An Nuonuo setting such a high bar…
…the performances of the other competitors, although not bad,
were just that, and it was hard to stir the audience’s interest again.
Jiang Xu leaned in and whispered something to An Nuonuo’s ear.
She nodded and briefly left backstage.
When she returned, she put something in his pocket.
Finally, it was Jiang Xu’s turn to take the stage.
When he made his appearance, the audience, which had lacked enthusiasm, once again burst into fervent applause.
An Nuonuo’s rendition of “When Farewell Blooms” had already been stunning.
Would Jiang Xu be able to come up with something even better?
With a microphone in hand, Jiang Xu stood stably on stage,
emanating strong confidence naturally.
He spoke with a smile, “Hello, teachers, seniors, and peers, I’m Jiang Xu.
Today, I will be singing a song I wrote myself, ‘To Her.’ Thank you.”
The prelude began.
Jiang Xu slowly started singing.
“You’re asleep with your palms tight, shallow dimples on your cheeks…”
This song was written by a father for his daughter.
It told of a father’s affection for his daughter from childhood to adulthood, his hopes, and the reluctance of letting her go when she grows up and marries.
To complement the song, Jiang Xu deliberately made his voice a bit raspier.
As soon as Jiang Xu began, the venue fell silent.
“You too will fall in love with someone, giving so much, so much…”
When it reached the climax, many fathers with daughters couldn’t help but shed tears.
Thinking of their daughters leaving someday to marry and move away, they felt wave after wave of sadness.
Backstage.
An Nuonuo clasped her hands tightly.
Watching Jiang Xu on stage soar freely and exude utmost confidence, she just felt he was incredibly handsome.
She looked every bit the smitten fan girl.
Meanwhile, Huang Xiaofei’s heart kept sinking.
Finally, he glared at Chen Yaoyao, “How could this happen? Why didn’t you tell me he had so many songs?!”
“I didn’t know either,” Chen Yaoyao replied with aggrieved innocence.
Who could have expected Jiang Xu to have so many songs in reserve?
After all, such songs normally took a long time to develop just one, didn’t they?
Huang Xiaofei snorted coldly and said no more.
Looking at Jiang Xu on stage, his eyes flickered uncertainly, pondering something.
With the song finished, the audience exploded with applause and cheers not outdone by those for An Nuonuo earlier.
It was the same judge who stood up again.
Wiping away tears, he said, “Jiang Xu is simply too outstanding. Once again, 1 must make a decision against the school’s wishes.”
“Hahaha…”
Many teachers and students couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Thus, Jiang Xu also advanced directly to the final round.
“Thank you, all the judges,” Jiang Xu said as he bowed deeply in the direction of the judges’ panel.
But he didn’t step down from the stage immediately.
Instead, he continued, “Today, as a student, I encountered a little trouble and would like to ask for help from all the teachers and students.”
Everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions.
Jiang Xu: “Actually, for this event, I had prepared four original songs.
There are still two more, which are ‘It’s Windy’ and ‘Youth’.
Hmm, those were the songs Huang Xiaofei and Chen Yaoyao performed earlier.
But the problem is, I didn’t authorize them to use these two songs.
In other words, they are plagiarizing my work.”
“Boom!”
As soon as he said this, the entire audience erupted into an uproar.
Backstage, Chen Yaoyao instantly panicked.
She hurriedly looked at Huang Xiaofei, “Huang…”
She hadn’t expected Jiang Xu to be so bold, to expose this matter right in front of the entire school’s teachers and students.
Huang Xiaofei waved his hand dismissively, “What’s there to panic about? What evidence does he have to prove those songs are his?”
“Ha ha,” Huang Xiaofei scoffed, “I thought too highly of him. His way of handling things is too naive.”
Chen Yaoyao immediately felt reassured by Huang Xiaofei’s words.
In fact, based on Jiang Xu’s usual way of dealing with things, he should have gone to the senior management of the school afterward.
That would have been more prudent.
But this time, he didn’t want to do it that way.
He just wanted to make those two thieves, especially Huang Xiaofei, completely disgraced in the school.
It was the same judge as before.
He stood up abruptly, his expression serious as he said, “Jiang Xu, are you telling the truth?”
Jiang Xu nodded, “True.”
“Huang Xiaofei, Chen Yaoyao, please come up on stage.”
Huang Xiaofei and Chen Yaoyao came up to the stage.
Chen Yaoyao spoke first, “Teacher, this is not true, he’s framing us!”
Huang Xiaofei then resumed his facade of hypocrisy and innocence.
He glanced at Jiang Xu, then said softly, “I don’t know what I did to offend Jiang to make him slander me like this.
But I, Huang, have always conducted myself with integrity, and I’ve never done something I haven’t done.”
Below the stage, many female students murmured among themselves.
“Jiang seems very decent, doesn’t look like someone who would do this.”
“Yeah, could this be some kind of misunderstanding?”
Jiang Xu looked at the two thieves and sneered, “Seeing as we’re all classmates. I’ll give you one more chance now, if you admit it, I won’t pursue the matter further.
Otherwise, I’ll have to use the weapon of law to protect my legitimate rights.”
Chen Yaoyao felt emboldened by having Huang Xiaofei’s support and her courage grew.
She held her head high and said to Jiang Xu, “How can we admit to something fabricated out of thin air?”
Jiang Xu ignored her, then turned to Huang Xiaofei, “You also don’t admit it, do you?”
Huang Xiaofei spread his hands, “Jiang, there must be some misunderstanding here, why don’t we discuss this offstage?”
His innocent act made many students start to doubt.
No matter how they looked at him, he didn’t seem like a person capable of such an act.
Yet no one noticed the hint of triumph in Huang Xiaofei’s eyes when he locked gazes with Jiang Xu.
Without evidence, what can you do to me?
“Ah, I offered you a graceful way out, and you didn’t take it,” Jiang Xu shook his head.
He had deliberately said this to make the two firmly deny everything first.
Then, by presenting the evidence, he could push them both into an abyss.
Jiang Xu reached into his pocket and pulled out the recording pen that he had asked An Nuonuo to go home and fetch earlier.
Facing the crowd of teachers and students, he spoke loudly, “I have a recording here.. Please listen, everyone!”
