“River of Seine, coffee of La Rive Gauche

“A cup in hand, tasting your beauty

“And your lips which left a lipstick mark

“…”

The audience quickly became immersed in Su Chen’s magnetic voice, cheerful tune, and lyrics.

No matter whether they had ever been in love or not, they now tasted the sweetness of love.

“Having you is having the entire world

“Honey, since the day that I fell for you

“Sweetness comes by so easily…”

Su Chen continued to play and sing as he looked at Lin Yumeng with deep feeling.

Lin Yumeng clasped her hands, and her big eyes were slightly red. He had touched her heart, and it was sweet.

They looked at each other, and affection flowed between them.

The auditorium was completely silent. Countless teachers and students sincerely admired and blessed the couple.

“That is a beautiful song!”

“Sob…Su Chen senior is handsome too!”

“If anyone wrote me a song like that, I would marry him.”

“Su Chen senior is too talented. This song should be famous.”

“…”

The students discussed it excitedly. Some even swayed with the rhythm and hummed.

“How could this be? How could this happen? I don’t believe it. I don’t believe he wrote it.” Xue Wei, who was backstage, looked at him in disbelief and murmured.

Ren Xin tilted her head to glance at him, then frowned. “With a song this good, if he did not write it, how would it be that we haven’t heard it before? You can be jealous of others—but can you please not be so…pathetic?”

“What do you mean? I envy him? What does he have that I should be jealous of? It’s just a song.”

Xue Wei was immediately embarrassed and angry. He had roared at Ren Xin.

Ren Xin looked mildly disgusted and moved away from him.

She knew Xue Wei was an empty shell. He was strong on the outside and weak inside. That is why she didn’t accept his confession of love, but she was not disgusted.

What Xue Wei had done today disappointed her, however. She would keep a respectful distance with him after this.

Some students who were preparing for their performances him looked at him with hatred and disdain.

Is it so hard to acknowledge other excellence?

Everyone could see at that moment that Su Chen was brilliant. Why should he be so stubborn and reluctant to admit it?

Inside the auditorium, Shen Tianze looked at Su Chen on the stage. His dark eyes flashed. No one could guess what he was thinking.

He was shocked too. He had intended to leave directly. However, when he saw Su Chen was ready to perform, he deliberately stayed. He wanted to observe him.

But he did not expect that Su Chen would perform so brilliantly.

He didn’t like listening to pop songs, but he had an appreciation for them and could tell that this song was a good one.

“Mengmeng, I really envy you. Su Chen is so nice to you.”

Qian Manman tilted her head and looked at Lin Yumeng. She was stunned and said in a panic, “Mengmeng, what happened to you? Why are you crying? Don’t cry!”

“They are tears of joy,” said Li Jia with a smile.

When Lin Yumeng heard this, she wiped away the tears in embarrassment.

Meng Lu, who was beside Li Jia, felt complicated emotions in her heart when she saw this.

She had thought of giving up on Su Chen when she heard that he’d had some conflict with two popular students in this university. Something might happen if he offended people like Shen Tianze and Zhao Tai, no matter how handsome he was.

When she heard the song that Su Chen wrote for Lin Yumeng, however, she could not help feeling envious.

He was the kind of guy who women rarely found. Why would he like some silly girl like Lin Yumeng?

“Honey,

“don’t be willful

“Your eyes

“are saying ‘I do’”

The music lingered in the air long after Su Chen’s performance ended.

When the sound of the guitar stopped, the scene boiled. Waves of applause resounded through the auditorium, and students rose to their feet and cheered.

“Oh, oh, oh…”

“That was great. Sing it again.”

“Encore!”

“Encore, encore…”

After a sudden roar, everyone joined in, their voices shaking and demanding he sing the song again.

“Thank you for enjoying it, but there are schedules for the ceremony. I’ll skip singing again. Thank you again.”

Su Chen smiled and bowed to the teachers and students, then walked off the stage with his guitar.

All eyes moved with him, full of regret and unwilling to give up.

Lin Yumeng looked at Su Chen. Her small face showed a proud and sweet smile, and she applauded hard. She didn’t even notice that her hands were red from clapping.

Su Chen returned to his seat. The students’ eyes stared at him.

“You are amazing, Brother Chen. What does matter if Shen Tianze could play the piano? He is nothing compared to you.” Pan Xiaojie excitedly patted Su Chen’s shoulder.

“Brother Chen, you are a bad*ss.”

“You held the house with just a song!”

“Brother Chen, did you write the song? I don’t believe it!”

“Brother Chen, what you did was not right. You promised to be like a regular guy with us. But you have become the Price Charming secretly.”

The boys shouted excitedly.

The girls were in a mixed mood, with surprise and excitement, but they had a touch of sadness and pity too. Such a good man was gone before they could take action.

The ceremony continued.

Although the following program was also wonderful, the students felt a little let down too. Su Chen’s amazing performance had left them wanting more.

At 9:30 p.m., the two hosts brought the welcome ceremony, which had lasted for two hours, to an end.

The students began to walk out over the music.

Su Chen stood up, looked around, and found that Lin Yumeng was gone. He was disappointed.

He walked out of the hall with his class.

When he was just outside the hall, someone hugged him.

When he looked at the person, who could it be other than Lin Yumeng?

“I thought you were gone!” Su Chen put both hands around her slender waist and smiled.

Lin Yumeng looked up. Her soft eyes stared at his as she smiled and shook her head.

Everything was expressed without words.

“Let’s go for a walk and have a late-night snack,” suggested Su Chen with a smile.

Lin Yumeng’s big eyes looked stunned. Then she nodded like a chicken pecking on its grains.

“Coming along?” Su Chen looked to Pan Xiaojie and the others.

“No, no. We are not going to be the fifth wheel.” Pan Xiaojie decisively shook his head.

The others nodded, too.

“Then I’ll pass this to you.”

Su Chen handed the guitar bag to Guo Lei. He smiled and said goodbye to them. “Guys, we’ll take our leave first. Bye.”

Lin Yumeng blushed and waved her hands too.

Then, Su Chen hugged Lin Yumeng and left feeling a new kind of freedom under the envious look from the group of students.

“Ahhh…I’m jealous. I want to fall in love too.”

A girl grabbed her hair and screamed.

“How about…me?” A boy pointed at himself and volunteered with a smile.

“I’ll give you three seconds to get lost.” The girl gave him a cold look.

The boy shivered and ran away with his head down.

The others laughed and chatted as they walked away.
