But ......What if he is really just playing around?
Jian Shiwu thought about it, and felt that winning would not do Shen Cheng any good. He couldn't possibly covet his breakfast. The Shen family has a big business, and the chefs are all excellent and top-notch.
He conclude that he was probably over thinking.
Later
What the hell!
After three rounds of the game, Jian Shiwu who saw the game failed on his screen for the third time, his was trembling, and he cried: "Have you ever played?"
Shen Cheng said, "A bit."
?!
Jian Shiwu was undeterred, "You must have practiced before, right?"
Shen Cheng couldn't bear to tell him he was playing for the first time, so he simply nodded as he wished.
"No wonder." He pouted his lips, a little aggrieved: "I lost."
Shen Cheng looked at him with his head hanging like a poor little cat, making people want to rub it, his aggrieved but really cute.
His eyes filled with a little tender as he hooked his lips into a smile: "Well, want to play again?"
Jian Shiwu: "Huh?"
Shen Cheng pointed to the two people opposite: "They are also finished, with them 2v2."
Jane Shiwu didn't really want to play after losing, but Shen Cheng invited him to play for once, so it wasn't a bad idea, although he didn't think he would be happy anymore.
No way!
When the winning logo appeared on his phone screen, he smiled as if he was the MVP and showed off his phone to Lui Heng, "Ugh, you guys are not good."
Lui Heng: ......
How on earth did the guy who just got shut out 0:3 say that.
It's obvious that Shen Cheng was the one who really carried the whole game, he wasn't even floating.
Lui Heng looked at Shen Cheng, but found that the actual winner of the match did not take his record seriously. While Jian Shiwu was proudly looking at them, Shen Cheng was lazily leaning back in his chair, quietly looking at Jane Shiwu.
For a moment, Lui Heng felt as if he understood something, it seems his dummy of a friend, has not found out what is the most worthy of showing off ah.
......
The next day
The class teacher stood on the podium and announced that the annual autumn sports day was about to kick off and also enter the final stage of preparation.
She said, "Our school is having an opening ceremony, we need students to put up a show, anyone in the class who has talent should apply enthusiastically, if the show is chosen, you will be added credits at the end of the term, do you have any recommendations or self-nominations?"
The class was full of people were talking, and everyone was saying basically one name.
"Teacher, let Jian Shiwu sing."
"He's a good singer, the music teacher always lets Jian sing."
"Yes, let Jian Shiwu go."
The class teacher had heard of this, he knew that Jian Shiwu could sing very well, he always heard the music teacher mention him, and with his good looks, he could indeed put up a good fight.
With this in mind, the class teacher asked Jian Shiwu in the second row, "Are you okay signing up?"
Jian Shiwu was happy with the extra credit and smiled, "I can do it."
"Then it's settled." The class teacher was happy that the matter was resolved and she only asked in passing, "Are there any other students who have signed up?"
Usually by this time the class would be empty, but this time there was a surprise, a hand went up in the last row and Annie stood up and smiled, "Teacher, I want to sign up for dance."
The class teacher was slightly surprised, but looking at the almost angelic looking girl, thinking of her background and her good looks, he agreed: "Good, then prepare for the preliminary round and do your best!"
Annie smiled and agreed.
Recently she had noticed that Shen Cheng and Qiao An had been able to integrate well into the class and the school, while she was like a girl on the outside who couldn't get in.
She was a very smart girl and understood how to show her strengths, she thought she wasn't bad, whether it was her versatility or her looks and family background, she would make Shen Cheng understand that she wasn't worse than Jian Shiwu!
The next day
Annie arrived early for the rehearsal auditions of the show.
She wanted to do the national style dance, which she had studied a long time ago in order to adapt to the Chinese aesthetic
She had specially learned the folk dance, in order to be able to show off, because the dance skills were very solid, so when she put on a colourful dress and twirled and jumped in the middle of the stage, under the beautiful lighting, the beautiful little girl looked like a dancing elf.
Annie looked at the people below as they cast her approvinv glances and she showed a satisfied smile.
She looked at the not far away Jian Shiwu, and saw he was the only one who he did not look at her, applauding also distracted, but is it made her a little proud, thinking Jiam Shiwu should be realizing the difference between him and her, right?
......
However
Under the stage, Jian Shiwu lowered his head and memorized the lyrics.
He has a bad memory and sometimes forgets the words as he sings, which is fine normally, but he can't afford to make a mistake on this opportunity to get extra credit.
The MC on stage read out the names, "Next, Senior 2B Jiam Shiwu."
Many people in the lively venue were still immersed in the feverish folk dance Annie had just performed, mingling with each other offstage, when he walked to the middle of the stage and stood.
The gentle teenager bowed and his clear voice spoke, "Hello everyone, I'm Jiam Shiwu, the song I want to sing is 'My future is not a dream.'"
Many people on the stage still didn't look at him.
After all, the dance just now was very surprising, so how much attention could an ordinary song attract?
As the accompaniment slowly played, a sweet and serene voice flowed out of the broadcaster as if with power, and Jian Shiwu stood straight and sang earnestly:
"Are you like me bowing my head in the sun, sweating and toiling in silence..."
His voice was unadulterated, he sang without any special techniques, but with such sincerity that people were inexplicably drawn to listen carefully.
"Because I don't care what people say, I've never forgotten the promise I made to myself..."
When the song ended, the stage erupted in applause, no less than Annie's. As opposed to dancing, music is also a force that can hit the heart.
Even the judges on stage opened their mics to praise, "Not bad, very good."
Jane Shiwu showed a smile as he bent down and bowed, "Thank you, teacher."
His easy-going look was endearing, but it made Annie on stage feel a sense of crisis. She used to think that Jian Shiwu was just a naive kid with empty skin, but when she saw Jian Shiwu on stage, she had to admit that the boy was very attractive when he sang and had a naturally good voice.
Annie looked at the sound instruments with some malice, if the singing was good, it was probably because the backing vocals and the acoustic vocals also had extra points, not fair at all, if those were removed and only the acoustic vocals were used, would he still be so good?
......
The following day
The opening ceremony of the sports day was officially opened, the whole renovated large playground was refreshed, colourful flags were fluttering, and under the azure sky, the students in great numbers formed different squads, the national flag was flying high at the front, and the sound of cheerful music resonated throughout the playground.
Backstage, the performers were preparing for the show in an orderly fashion.
This is a formal occasion, and the school had hired a special photographer to capture the opening ceremony, and Jian Shiwu wore a formal high-fashion suit today.
The make-up lady was delighted to look at the young white face: "You have a really good foundation."
Jane Shiwu: '"Really?"
"Really." The little sister squeezed her eyebrows: "You can become a star, so beautiful now, when you grow up, you'll be charming."
Jian Shiwu was amused and giggled.
The show being performed in front of them was Annie's folk dance, and the students on stage were all a bit taken aback by the beautiful blonde girl, and many of the boys were even more blurry-eyed.
Qiao An also wondered, "Why didn't you react at all?"
The dance was a very good one, but Shen Cheng in the playground was concentrating on playing with the components in his hands, not only without any inner turmoil, but even felt it was too noisy.
Does this man have no heart at all?
As Annie's dance ended, thunderous applause erupted from the stage, her gaze swept over the crowd of classes, over to class B and she precisely saw the man with his head down, he did not look at her all.
Annie's eyes slowly dulled down, the resentment and aggression rising in her heart because of Shen Cheng's indifference boiled up another degree, everyone was looking at her, why did Shen Cheng not!
The host came on stage and smiled, "Thank you Annie, the next one to perform for us is also Jian Shiwu from senior two class B. The song he is going to sing is: 'My Future is Not a Dream'"
As she read the name, Annie saw with her own eyes that Shen Cheng, who had been keeping his head down, siy up straighter, he even put away what he was holding and looked towards the stage.
Annie looked on, suddenly gasped and laughed angrily.
