Chapter 27: Student Wang Haoran\'s One-Man Show
It was at this moment when Wang Haoran\'s bewitching voice that had been amplified by the microphone sounded from the speaker. "We have to go through trials and tribulations to chase after our dreams and might at times end up losing our hope and be at a loose end. But as long as we persist and keep moving forward, we can slowly build up the ability to overcome our obstacles just like the scorching sun that pierces through the clouds dissipating the fog along with it.
I now present the song \'Dream It Possible\' to my fellow classmates here who wish to chase their own dreams, and also to our beautiful English teacher."
""Yay!!!""
The brief opening speech set the students on fire, and the atmosphere there seemed to have lit up manifolds.
All of them were third-year students that were preparing for their college entrance exam. As hot-blooded teenagers, who wouldn\'t want to pursue their dreams?
Even Song Zhenyu, a teacher herself reminiscing her time of the college entrance examination, was steamed up.
However, Song Zhenyu was worried about whether Wang Haoran would manage to sing or not.
The song that Wang Haoran wanted to sing already had a Chinese version, called \'My Dream\'.
The English version was actually much difficult to perform.
It must not be that Wang Haoran didn\'t want to lose face for her, his English teacher, right?
The cheering went on for a while, after which the prelude of the song was heard.
The cheering ceased as the students quieted down.
Wang Haoran started to sing:
"I will run, I will climb, I will soar"
His voice sounded tender yet captivating. Though contradictory, it was flawlessly blended, seeming like the voice from heavens with an irresistible appeal.
It was barely a line but still managed to stir everyone\'s attention on the scene.
This was the state of everyone when Wang Haoran had just started to sing the first line of the prelude.
Song Zhenyu\'s worries faded away as she heard the lyrics of the song.
"I\'m undefeated"
"Jumping out of my skin, pull the chord"
"Yeah I\'d believe it"
"The past, is everything we were, don\'t make us who we are"
"So I\'ll dream, until I make it real, and all I see is stars"
"It\'s not until you fall that you fly"
...
The tune turned somewhat heavy from its previous hot-bloodedness and even had a faint stifling effect.
It was precisely the journey that one would take in pursuit of their dreams, going through solitude and loneliness, or perhaps encountering many difficulties and obstacles.
As Wang Haoran continued to sing, the heavy tune gradually faded.
"When your dreams come alive you\'re unstoppable"
"Take the shot, chase the sun, find the beautiful"
"We will glow in the dark turning dust to gold"
"And we\'ll dream it possible"
"Possible"
"I will chase, I will reach, I will fly"
"Until I\'m breaking, until I\'m breaking"
"Out of my cage, like a bird in the night"
"I know I\'m changing, I know I\'m changing"
"In, into something big, better than before"
"And if it takes, takes a thousand lives"
"Then it\'s worth fighting for"
"It\'s not until you fall that you fly"
...
The voice turned sharp seeming like it can seep into everyone\'s heart and soul, giving the students who were about to chase their dreams the courage to overcome all the obstacles that come along their way.
Generally, hearing the original tune and lyrics of this song would make one feel inspired but with Wang Haoran\'s singing, the impact was amplified manifold.
Every student on the scene including Song Zhenyu was stunned listening to Wang Haoran\'s singing.
Many students even took out their smartphones to take pictures and to record the mind-blowing moment they had got to witness.
Xu Muyan now regretted not bringing her smartphone to school.
She turned her head to face Wen Jing and was about to urge her to record the video. However, she swallowed back the words that she wanted to say because Wen Jing had already started the recording for quite a while now.
To be more precise, Wen Jing was the first person to start recording the video.
As the student that was singing wasn\'t just her Prince Charming but also her secret lover, compared to other girls on the scene, she obviously had to be more proactive!
...
"When your dreams come alive you\'re unstoppable"
"Take the shot, chase the sun, find the beautiful"
"We will glow in the dark turning dust to gold"
"And we\'ll dream it possible"
"Possible"
"Possible"
"From the bottom to the top"
"We\'re sparking wildfires"
"Never quit and never stop"
"The rest of our lives"
"From the bottom to the top"
"We\'re sparking wildfires"
"Never quit and never stop"
"It\'s not until you fall that you fly"
"When your dreams come alive you\'re unstoppable"
"Take the shot, chase the sun, find the beautiful"
"We will glow in the dark turning dust to gold"
"And we\'ll dream it possible"
"Possible"
"Possible"
"We\'ll dream it possible"
As Wang Haoran sang the closing line of the song, the classroom reverberated with thunderous applause from nearly 50 students.
Of course, there would be a student or two who didn\'t intend to cheer. For instance, Chu Bai.
"Ugh, Wang Haoran knows how to sing?!" Chu Bai felt bitter at heart.
Wang Haoran wasn\'t just handsome but was a top-ranker, had a good family background, and was also good at singing.
How can Heavens be so unfair!
"I see. Wang Haoran hid his skills deeply. I\'ve been your homeroom teacher for nearly more than two years, but only now when you\'re all about to graduate from here that I find a student who\'s good at singing in my class." Song Zhengyu felt amazed but was also somewhat angry at the moment.
She complained: "There have been several singing conventions held before in the campus which none of our class students took part in. How come you didn\'t participate then?"
Before Wang Haoran could answer her, the number one fangirl, Wen Jing, said eagerly.
"It was beneath Classmate Wang Haoran to take part in such singing conventions. It would be no different from lowering down his identity if he did that!"
Song Zhengyu nodded her head in approval upon hearing this.
When Song Zhenyu attended the singing convention some time ago, she thought that the students that took part in performed quite decent but compared with Wang Haoran\'s singing, it wasn\'t even impressive.
The disparity between Wang Haoran and others was just too big.
Would Wang Haoran even degrade himself to compete with a bunch of amateurs?
"Student Wang Haoran, even if it\'s true, it\'s rude to do that. As for your punishment, I want you to sing one more song for us!" Song Zhengyu said.
"One more song!"
"One more song!"
The classmates below began to cheer in approval.
Wang Haoran hadn\'t had his fill yet. This was just what he wanted: "Then I\'ll sing another song for you all. The song that I\'m now going to sing is \'I Love You\'."
""Yay!!!""
The students began to cheer once again.
This was a love confession song that would make one\'s imagination run wild.
As Wang Haoran chose to sing this song, he must for sure have an ulterior motive behind this.
Soon, the music of the song began to play.
Picking up the microphone, Wang Haoran stepped aside from the desk, wandered up in the classroom, and only stopped before Song Zhenyu.
Song Zhengyu was dazed.
"Uhm... I\'ll have to gaze at Teacher Song to feel the song." Wang Haoran let out a chuckle and said.
The prelude of the song had already been played at this moment.
Gazing at Song Zhengyu, Wang Haoran sang with deep emotion.
"In this happy country of love"
"You\'re my only one"
"The only one I love is you"
"I really really love you"
When Song Zhenyu listened to the first few lines of the lyrics, her body turned stiff.
Listening to the mind-blowing singing performance, coupled with a charming handsome face, Song Zhenyu felt too hard to resist.
"Many learn to appreciate only after losing"
"But I do appreciate you"
"The more painful it is, the harder you\'ve loved"
"I don\'t believe that"
...
Song Zhenyu gradually fell into a trance, disregarding their teacher-student relationship, treating herself as an ordinary woman that was being confessed by a man before her.
Meanwhile, Wang Haoran also received two system prompts.
[Ding! Song Zhenyu, one of the female-leads favorability of the host has been risen by 10 points. The current total favorability is 40 points. (Intimate) ]
[Ding! Host succeded in altering the original direction of the plot, rewarding 200 villain points.]
