114: Chapter 114 Computer Science 'Shen Dehua'

Seventeen?

After Shen Weiyue announced the song title, Zhang Chengbin's gaze immediately tightened.

You can't sing this song with true emotion without life experience, and if you don't use Cantonese, you can't capture its essence.

That jerk Shen Weiyue actually chose this song?

This guy is definitely no simple character!

While thinking this, A-Bin frowned and stared at Shen Weiyue. The guy seemed to know what he was thinking, and even specifically grinned at him, this boy from Dongguan.

Damn, this is bad!

I smell someone trying to act cool; that jerk Shen Weiyue is about to show off!

"♪ On that day when I was seventeen, I shamelessly took on the challenge..."

Sure enough, Shen Weiyue started instantly, and the moment his voice rose, A-Bin shivered.

Damn it, it really was Cantonese.

How does this jerk know Cantonese? How could he possibly know Cantonese? If he's like this, how am I supposed to maintain my sense of superiority?

As someone from Guangdong Province, A-Bin felt a huge shock. Shen Weiyue's voice was full of magnetism and narrative depth; the emotion in his tone didn't sound like a nineteen-year-old at all.

He captured the true essence of the song.

It wasn't just A-Bin; people in both formations were stunned.

While singing, Shen Weiyue looked like a different person. His facial expressions were rich, his smile was gentle and elegant, like a sunny man who had emerged from heartbreak, glowing all over.

"Wow... Shen Weiyue is so handsome, ahhh..."

"Computer Science Class 1 actually has a boy like this. My ears are going to get pregnant; not just my ears, I want to get pregnant for him too..."

"An Lan, look, Shen Weiyue is so warm when he sings; he's not cold at all."

The girls whispered among themselves, while the boys scratched their heads and cursed under their breath.

"Damn it, and he said he had no special talents; this bastard has been playing us the whole time."

"A-Bin, Old Yue is using Cantonese. What do you say?"

"Say what? This jerk is too good at hiding his skills. From now on, the School of Computer Science will be filled with his legends..."

While the students were marveling, Counselor Chen Ruobing, standing behind them, had eyes that were shining.

Shen Weiyue didn't just stand there stiffly while singing. His expressions, his movements—everything was naturally perfect. Simply put, it was something called stage presence, and it was spot on.

This freshman is definitely not as simple as he appears on the surface.

I must make him the class monitor.

Counselor Chen Ruobing made a decision to herself, locking her gaze onto Shen Weiyue.

"♪ If you like me, don't hide your face, let the passersby discover it... Just sing, and use your heart to dye this song with emotion..."

As Shen Weiyue sang this part, he inexplicably thought of the small alley he had walked past countless times in high school, that beautiful woman with wavy hair who lived in Building Five and smiled at him, and that night of dizzying madness when he took on a double responsibility...

His mood turned somber, and his eyes were filled with loneliness, even a bit hollow.

With a gaze like that, although he was looking at the people in the formation, everyone felt as if he wasn't looking at them at all.

"♪ The years change, but I have not... Every song is every face..."

Looking past Liang Yuting, Shen Weiyue's mind recalled Feng Jiayue, remembering the scorching sun of Shenzhen in July and August, when he and she were drenched in sweat while embracing.

He remembered Brother Crow, who had almost pushed him into the Spider Cave before leaving, scaring the little brother out of a cold sweat. Consequently, his eyes became happy again.

Then he thought of holding Zhao the Fox's hand and running in the sunlight, running into the Central Park while she looked at him with a helpless expression, and remembered how she fed him snacks, just like he had fed her double-skin milk.

Shen Weiyue's gaze gradually became gentle, even doting.

When this gaze swept over to An Lan's side, her heart melted.

"Oh my, is he looking at me? I really like his type; I'd even be willing to skip class and go to a hotel with him right now..."

Unfortunately, Shen Weiyue wasn't looking at her at all; the person he was thinking of was thousands of miles away.

Someone in the two formations started leading the rhythm, and soon everyone was clapping in unison. A few who knew the song, like young A-Bin, couldn't help but hum along.

Shen Weiyue sang with deep emotion. His gaze swept across the formation and suddenly saw Counselor Chen Ruobing with her arms crossed. She was wearing professional attire, exuding the aura of a mature older woman, her eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses burning intensely.

At the very moment their eyes met, she even nodded slightly at him, making no secret of her admiration.

Oh no, danger!

Fortunately, I, Director Shen, had planned ahead.

Shen Weiyue smiled faintly. Counselor Chen Ruobing felt that, aside from his rebellious nature, this guy was actually quite good.

After all, he was a top student who had missed admission to Tsinghua and Peking University by only one point, and her impression of him was getting better and better.

Shen Weiyue finished the song and walked back to the formation to sit down.

The crowd was silent for a few seconds, then someone suddenly shouted, "Awesome! Shen Weiyue sings really well, such a strong Andy Lau vibe."

"Nickname, Nickname!"

"One more, one more."

The people in the Second Company formation were inspired and immediately shouted in unison, "The camp is made of iron, but the soldiers are like flowing water; we love listening to Nickname's songs..."

"Computer Science Nickname, one more song; we don't want to leave after hearing it..."

And so, in an instant, the singing competition between the two companies started again.

Taking advantage of the gap while others were performing, Zhang Chengbin stared fixedly at Shen Weiyue and said fiercely, "Old Yue, how do you know Cantonese, and how do you sing so well? You've stolen all the spotlight, and the way An Lan looks at you is like she's completely lovestruck!"

"I taught myself. Not only are Hong Kong movies enjoyable to watch, but the hosts on the Cantonese channels have more flavor too; I learned it without even realizing it." Shen Weiyue spread his hands.

"I don't believe a word of it. What other special talents do you have that we don't know about?" A-Bin looked at him nervously.

Xie Dongming and Qi Hui also looked over.

"None." Shen Weiyue waved his hand.

"Really none? Don't lie to me!" A-Bin pressed.

"I really don't have any other special talents right now. To tell you the truth, I grew up in the village..."

"Fine, I'll believe you for now. Next time you try to show off without giving us a heads-up, Fatty Xie and I will definitely kill you!"

"That's right, showing off without bringing us along—we can't be brothers like this!"

Xie Dongming and Zhang Chengbin nodded together, with a sense of shared camaraderie against a common enemy.

Shen Weiyue looked at Qi Hui but didn't speak.

My son Qi Hui has the qualities of a Great Emperor; you two silly dogs can't stir up any trouble, and it's not certain who will kill whom.

The four roommates exchanged smiles, each harboring their own secret thoughts; all that was missing was the 'hehehe' sound.

This singing competition between the two companies lasted until noon. Computer Science Class 1 was ultimately a bit weaker and lost to the Second Company several times.

Besides the two pacesetters, Shen Weiyue and An Lan, who were called upon to perform, Qi Hui, as the acting male class monitor, also had to step out and perform.

Shen Weiyue thought he would do military boxing like the instructor, but who knew Little Hui could whistle so well; he actually performed an amazing vocal act.

Now the pressure was on A-Bin and Fatty Xie.

Even more ridiculously, that afternoon, Shen Weiyue's Nickname, 'Computer Science Nickname', spread throughout the entire School of Computer Science.

Even the upperclassmen knew that among this year's freshmen, there was a junior who was handsome, had charisma, and had an super nice voice.

The name Nickname was already trending on the school forum.
