The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: Invitation to Wine: Do Not Stop Drinking

Liou Qingcheng really liked the understated and graceful style of the arena. Lin Tian smiled and asked, ”I’ll be on stage later, there’s a solo, why don’t you be my backup dancer?”

This idea didn’t come out of nowhere; Lin Tian was well aware of Liou Qingcheng’s dance skills. She could handle any style of dance, and if she wanted to, she could develop into a top national dancer.

”Sure.” Liou Qingcheng sweetly agreed, holding onto Lin Tian’s arm.

As they chatted and walked, they quickly arrived at the edge of the stage. By then, all the music teachers were ready; even rehearsals were done with live performances.

Jiang Pan Die had actually spotted the couple from afar long ago. They were truly a handsome and beautiful couple, like a golden boy and jade girl.

Jiang Pan Die knew that Lin Tian’s girlfriend was a great beauty, but she had never met her. Seeing her today, she was even more beautiful than she had imagined.

”So beautiful,” Jiang Pan Die thought.

But ’beautiful’ seemed insufficient to describe her aura. She often heard fans call her a goddess. But the girl in front of her seemed even more deserving of the title; she had an ethereal quality.

Girls are sensitive, and she quickly noticed Jiang Pan Die looking at her. Letting go of Lin Tian’s arm, she stepped forward and reached out to Jiang Pan Die, saying, ”Hello, Pan Die, I’m your fan. I like your songs, and I love your voice. I’ve listened to all your songs and bought your albums. Honestly, you’re amazing.”

”Thank you, I will continue to work hard,” Jiang Pan Die replied with a smile.

She had met countless fans, but Liou Qingcheng was the only one so calm, as if she was meeting not a fan she adored but an old friend. There was no sense of unfamiliarity between them.

This must be what they call a rational fan. Such fans are not as frenzied; they have their own judgment and won’t blindly follow the trend or kick someone when they’re down just because someone’s popularity rises or falls.

”Zhou Mi always said you were beautiful and your dance skills were profound. If not for you being sick back then, we might have met much earlier,” Jiang Pan Die said with a smile.

”It’s not too late to meet now. By the way, Lin Tian told me earlier, he said he wants to sing a solo and wants me to dance. I wanted to ask you if it’s okay. It’s fine if it’s not, no need to force it.”

Jiang Pan Die immediately felt her eyes light up and smiled, nodding, ”Of course, it’s fine. Since he lets you on stage, he obviously won’t ruin the show. His program was arranged yesterday anyway, and the dancers’ performances haven’t been set yet.”

”Really?”

”Of course, why would I joke about my concert?”

Jiang Pan Die agreed so readily firstly because Zhou Mi had often talked about Liou Qingcheng, secondly because of Lin Tian, and thirdly due to her good impression of Liou Qingcheng, which also served as a fan appreciation.

At this moment, Lin Tian strolled over leisurely and asked with a smile, ”What are you two chatting about so happily, like old friends?”

”Girl talk, you nosy pig trotter,” Jiang Pan Die said playfully. If Liou Qingcheng hadn’t been there, she might have even stuck out her pink tongue.

Lin Tian chuckled and didn’t take it to heart. Although he was far away just now, he had clearly heard their conversation.

Scanning the surroundings, Lin Tian asked, ”Where’s Zhou Mi? Why don’t I see her?”

”She...” Jiang Pan Die started to speak, glanced at Liou Qingcheng, paused, and said, ”After acting wild from drinking last night, she probably feels too embarrassed to see anyone and is off rehearsing with the Feihong Association.”

Lin Tian immediately understood; the girl was shy and was hiding from him, feeling too embarrassed to meet anyone.

Thinking of the formerly bold girl blushing, Lin Tian found it somewhat amusing.

”Why are you laughing?” Liou Qingcheng asked.

”Was I laughing?” Lin Tian immediately put on a straight face.

”You were, and you looked silly doing it,” Liou Qingcheng said seriously.

”It’s nothing much, just thinking about Zhou Mi’s personality. She gets drunk after one bottle of beer; isn’t that funny?”

Liou Qingcheng shook her head solemnly once more.

Well, the conversation had crashed.

Soon, Liou Qingcheng met another idol, Teacher Zhou Wenhong. After they got acquainted, Lin Tian acted as a photographer, taking more than a dozen photos of the three before finishing.

Then, the day’s rehearsal officially began. The first program was the opening song ”Invitation to Wine: Have You Not Seen” by Jiang Pan Die and Lin Tian.

This was a fast-paced rock song that couldn’t be performed well just by shouting and going high-pitch. The transitions between true and false melodies and the fast-paced coordination were challenging points.

”Have you not seen? The waters of the Yellow River come from heaven, and rush to the sea never to return.

Have you not seen? In the bright mirror of my high hall, my white hair is sorrowful; once like black silk in the morning, now snow by evening.

...

My fine horse and fur worth thousands of gold, call the boy to trade them for fine wine, let’s drown our endless sorrows together.”

Li Bai’s timeless masterpiece is both indulgent and passionate, grand and with deep emotion. Paired with Zhou Wenhong’s stirring music, the entire song feels seamless.

Liou Qingcheng still remembered hearing this song for the first time and being so stunned that it made her scalp tingle. She played it on loop all night and nearly lost sleep.

Sitting in the audience now, Zhou Wenhong and Liou Qingcheng felt not just tingling scalps but were so overwhelmed with emotion that they wished they had a jug of strong liquor, as the song could ignite every cell in the body!

Lin Tian’s voice was truly unique! Even during the transitions of the main song, it made people’s heartbeats follow the rhythm.

Probably because Lin Tian was so good at setting the mood; Jiang Pan Die gradually found her stride, as did the music teachers playing drums and guitars. They were drenched in sweat, wishing they could keep playing forever and never stop!

It was exhilarating!

Actually, Zhou Wenhong completely understood them. Yesterday, when she played the piano accompaniment for Lin Tian, she had only intended him to sing a line or two. However, his singing was so infectious that she ended up playing the entire piece as if inspired by divine intervention, bringing out every emotion.

Once ”Invitation to Wine: Do Not Stop Drinking” finished, Zhou Wenhong stood up from her chair, and with an emotional look, applauded towards the stage.

Clap clap clap...

The applause came one after another, and finally everyone looked at the man and woman on stage with tears of excitement, the applause continued endlessly.

It was a strange phenomenon; this was a rehearsal, after all, and not typical for people to applaud, let alone such enthusiastic applause.

”This is it! This is how it’s going to be sung! No changes!” Zhou Wenhong shouted at the stage, her face flushed with excitement.
