Huayu: Brother, I'm having such a great time!

Chapter 9 Contemporary Jiahao

"How unlucky to run into him!"

Mao Junjie cursed under her breath, grabbed Tang Yan's hand, and quickened her pace.

Seeing that Tang Yan was about to leave, the curly-haired man quickly picked up his guitar, jumped off the stage, and rushed to the crowd.

"Tangtang, I wrote a new song for you, would you like to listen to it?"

The curly-haired man knelt on one knee, about to start singing.

Fortunately, it's only 8 o'clock, and there aren't many people yet, otherwise I would really experience what it means to be socially frustrated.

"Really, it's not necessary, Wang Jiahao. Could you please stop bothering me?"

Wang Jiahao?

Xu Jingxing looked at the guy kneeling on one knee in front of him.

Hmm, this behavior, this outfit, is definitely very Jiahao!

Tang Yan bypassed Wang Jiahao, who was kneeling in front of her, and walked quickly forward.

"I won't give up!" Seeing Tang Yan about to leave, Wang Jiahao stood up and shouted, "I'll wait until you reject me 99 times. On the 100th time, I'll definitely succeed. One day, I'll move you with my sincerity!"

Xu Jingxing now truly admires men of this age.

He has nothing, gives nothing, and likes to use the most useless things about himself to impress girls.

He suddenly remembered a short video he had watched in his previous life.

Man: I can give you my life.

Woman: Transfer me 300 yuan.

Man: That won't do. But I can swear I only love you.

Woman: Then post it on your WeChat Moments.

Man: That won't do. If you don't want children, I don't want them either. Haven't I respected you enough?

Woman: Then you should get a tubal ligation.

Man: That won't do.

......

They gave us things that nobody wanted.

Confessing his feelings 99 times, besides wasting the other person's time, Xu Jingxing really couldn't think of any other beneficial consequences.

Upon hearing Wang Jiahao's words, Tang Yan stopped in her tracks, hesitated for a moment, then took Xu Jingxing's hand, walked to Wang Jiahao's side, and held up both of their hands in front of him:

"I already have a boyfriend, can you please stop harassing me?"

Xu Jingxing looked at Tang Yan's slightly flushed face. She was using him as a shield.

"What? Impossible!" Wang Jiahao exclaimed incredulously, "I secretly follow you every day, and I only leave when I see you go back to your dorm. There's no way I wouldn't know you have a boyfriend."

Holy crap, this guy is a perverted stalker.

"Then you must not have observed carefully yesterday!" Xu Jingxing said.

"I had an upset stomach yesterday." Wang Jiahao clenched his fist. "Damn it, you took advantage of my weakness."

"No wonder we always felt like someone was following us back to the dorm. It turns out it was you, you pervert." Mao Junjie had a fiery temper, and if Guo Zhenni hadn't been holding him back, he probably would have already left his footprints on Wang Jiahao's face.

"It's not a crime to like someone!" Wang Jiahao hugged his guitar tightly and shouted at Tang Yan, "I won't give up, I haven't persisted for the 100th time yet."

Sigh, all this useless stuff again.

After Wang Jiahao finished speaking, he looked at Xu Jingxing and said, "Don't be smug. I will win Tangtang over with my sincerity."

"Damn it, you're trying to poach my boyfriend right in front of me!"

Just as Xu Jingxing was about to kick him, Wang Jiahao saw this and quickly ran away with his guitar.

Tang Yan quickly grabbed Xu Jingxing, who was still trying to chase after them, and said, "Don't pay attention to him, let's go."

"Don't cause trouble at school." Guo Zhenni also pulled Mao Junjie back from making a move. "Ignore him. The more you pay attention to this kind of person, the more trouble he'll cause."

"Yes, ignore him."

Mao Junjie composed herself, turned to look at Tang Yan and Xu Jingxing, and said with a smile, "You two are holding hands really tightly."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yan quickly shook off Xu Jingxing's hand and hurriedly explained, "Oh dear, I... I just wanted to get rid of that person's harassment as soon as possible!"

"We understand, we understand, we all understand."

Mao Junjie and Guo Zhenni exchanged a smile and were about to speak again when suddenly, Wang Jiahao's voice came from the speakers on the small stage.

"To Tang Yan, a student from the 02 Performance Class, this song, 'The 99th Confession,' is dedicated to you. I hope you will soon recognize who truly cares about you silently."

"..."

"I practiced writing in reverse order by using a clock that runs in the opposite direction."

"Saying 'I love you' for the ninety-ninth time is like going back to our first meeting."

"To piece together fragments of time into a kaleidoscope."

"Each turn erases an encounter."

"..."

That's it?

Xu Jingxing suddenly realized that the Central Academy of Drama's admission process wasn't actually that strict.

Why are they recruiting people of all skill levels?

If my brother Wan were to write this lousy song, he could write at least four kilograms of it in a day.

The Central Academy of Drama is only so big, and quite a few people know Tang Yan. At this moment, they all set their sights on the female lead in the song, with expressions of watching the drama unfold.

According to Mao Junjie, Wang Jiahao often sings love songs to Tang Yan on the small stage, and Tang Yan usually doesn't come to the playground on Fridays and Saturdays.

However, I haven't had any classes lately, and I've gotten so caught up in the days that I forgot today is Friday.

By a twist of fate, she bumped into Wang Jiahao.

"Let's go, I'm so embarrassed." Tang Yan covered her forehead with her hand, wanting nothing more than to leave this chaotic scene as soon as possible.

Watching Wang Jiahao jumping around on the stage, Xu Jingxing suddenly felt a bit fond of him.

With such a reference point, Xu Jingxing was even tempted to give this matching system a good beating.

"Tangtang, I also want to sing a song for you." Xu Jingxing stopped Tang Yan, who was about to leave.

"Why are you making me angry too? Let's go!"

Tang Yan was about to pull Xu Jingxing away when she suddenly realized that there was no one behind her.

"Where has Lao Xu been doing?"

Mao Junjie pointed towards the small stage, "Tangtang, look! Lao Xu is on stage."

Tang Yan looked at the stage. Wang Jiahao had already left the stage, and at that moment a female band was on stage adjusting their equipment.

Xu Jing walked up to them and, as if he knew the lead singer, exchanged pleasantries and conversation.

"Xu Jingxing is also preparing a show?" Guo Zhenni looked at Tang Yan with a questioning expression.

"I don't know."

"Old Xu isn't going to confess to you in public, is he?" Mao Junjie put his arm around Tang Yan's shoulder. "I saw some people say they wouldn't date in their freshman year, and now they're going to break their own promises."

"Don't talk nonsense." Tang Yan gently slapped Mao Junjie. "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't talk to you anymore."

"Look, everyone!"

Guo Zhenni interrupted Mao Junjie, who was about to tease Tang Yan again. On stage, Xu Jingxing had already sat in the lead singer's position, making a few "hello, hello" sounds to test the microphone's sound effects.

"Tang Yan, a student from the 02 performance class, I just finished writing this song and I want to sing it for you."

Xu Jingxing looked in the direction of Tang Yan and said, "I want to tell you that the people who truly care about you are right beside you."

Wow!

"Wow, this is like he's going to have a showdown with that guy from before."

"Is this considered a public confession?"

"We made it! We witnessed a legendary scene!"

The crowd's emotions were stirred up, and some people even made phone calls to call others to come and watch the spectacle together.

Xu Jingxing was not disturbed by these noises. The female band members behind him were about to get off when he stopped them. After saying a few words, they quietly sat down behind Xu Jingxing.

Holding the guitar borrowed from the band, Xu Jingxing took a deep breath and began to strum the strings.

The intro was very simple; Xu Jingxing played a universal chord that anyone in the audience who had studied music should be able to recognize.

When composing a song on the spur of the moment, most people will use universal chords. Composing music is not something that can be done in a flash of inspiration.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xu Jingxing began his performance.

I want to see you smile, I want to joke around with you.

I want to hold you in my arms.

"One second they were arguing, their faces flushed."

"We can make up in the next second."
