I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 24
byChapter 24 One word stirs up waves
Xie Shuhan stood there, his eyes slightly lowered, his chest rising and falling slightly due to the emotional catharsis just now.
The collar of the white shirt was wet with tiny beads of sweat, outlining the graceful lines of his neck.
The silence in the audience lasted for a full three seconds, and then, like a ignited fuse, thunderous applause broke out instantly, mixed with cheers and faint sobs, almost tearing down the roof of the hall.
Xie Shuhan slowly raised his head and bowed deeply to the audience. There was still a trace of fatigue that had not dissipated in his brows, but he still maintained that cold alienation.
Just when he was about to turn around and walk off the stage, the host walked up quickly, with just the right amount of curiosity and smile on his face, and gently stopped him with his hand: “Thank you, classmate, please stay!”
The sound from the microphone gradually silenced the noisy scene, and everyone’s eyes focused on the center of the stage again.
Xie Shuhan stopped and turned his head to look at the host, his eyes calm and calm, as if he was waiting for the next question.
The host cleared his throat and said in a teasing yet polite tone: “I just listened to Xie’s song. To be honest, as a host, I almost couldn’t help crying!”
He paused, eliciting understanding laughter from the audience, and then changed the subject and asked a question that everyone was curious about, “To be able to sing “The Truth Is True” so touchingly and with such deep emotion, I wonder if classmate Xie Shuhan has someone he likes in his heart, so he can sing with such affection?”
These words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing thousands of waves in the audience.
The audience was whispering to each other, their eyes full of gossip and expectation, and even the teachers on the judges’ bench also looked curious.
Lu Jin, who was in the first row, suddenly raised his head when he heard this question.
The tears on his face had not yet been wiped dry, and there were still tears on his eyelashes. His heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and even his breathing stopped for a moment.
He stared hard at Xie Shuhan on the stage, his fingertips digging into his palms due to the force, and he only had one thought in his mind: How would he answer?Will he really admit it?
Xie Shuhan obviously did not expect that the host would suddenly ask such a question. A trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
He nodded slightly, without any hesitation, and his cold voice clearly spread through the microphone to every corner of the hall: “Yes, yes.”
Three simple words, but they exploded in Lu Jin’s ears like thunder, causing him to freeze on the spot, and his blood seemed to have stopped flowing.
He stared blankly at the cold figure on the stage, his mind going blank.
There really is…
It wasn’t his fantasy, Xie Shuhan really had someone he liked.
Lu Jin felt cold all over, and even the remaining tears in his eyes became bitingly cold, sliding down his cheeks and dripping on his clothes, leaving a small dark mark.
Like an abandoned dog at the moment.
The audience in the audience also exploded, with exclamations coming and going.
“Oh my god! The God of Learning actually has someone he likes!”
“No wonder the singing is so soulful, it turns out he is a person with stories!”
“I wonder who is so lucky to be liked by Xie Shuhan!”
The chatter grew louder and louder, and the air was filled with excitement and gossip.
The host was obviously very satisfied with the answer, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He continued to ask: “Wow! Really? That’s really surprising!”
He imitated the audience’s tone, as if they were speaking for everyone, “Does the other person know that you like him?”
Xie Shuhan’s eyes dropped slightly and fell on the floor of the stage. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone. It was still the same cold voice, but it was a little more confused: “I don’t know.”
Just three words, but it made the atmosphere at the scene a little subtle.
The person you like doesn’t know your own feelings, so this deep love is a little more regretful and bitter, and it also makes the audience feel even more sorry for this cold young man.
When the host saw this, he quickly smoothed things over with a gentle smile on his face: “So that’s it! That’s such a pity!”
He paused and deliberately let it slip, “I wonder which girl is so lucky that such an outstanding student like us can be so enamored of her?”
As soon as these words came out, the girls in the audience held their breath, their eyes full of anticipation and anxiety, hoping to hear a clue about “her” from Xie Shuhan.
Lu Jin also clenched his fists subconsciously, with mixed feelings in his heart. He wanted to know the answer, but was afraid of knowing the answer. The conflicting mood almost swallowed him up.
Xie Shuhan did not answer immediately. He turned his head slightly, and his eyes seemed to pass in the direction of the first row inadvertently, staying on Lu Jin for a moment, and then moved away.
He nodded slightly to the microphone and prepared to turn around and leave the stage.
Just when everyone thought this topic was about to end, Xie Shuhan suddenly stopped and picked up the microphone that he had put aside.
The scene fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at him curiously, not knowing what else he wanted to say.
Lu Jin’s heart was in his throat. He stared at Xie Shuhan closely, even breathing cautiously.
Xie Shuhan’s lips came close to the microphone, and his cold voice sounded again, his tone calm but with an unquestionable firmness: “He is a boy.”
Boom!
These four words were like thunder on the ground, exploding in the hall instantly!
The air at the scene seemed to be frozen, and everyone stared at Xie Shuhan on the stage in shock, with shock and disbelief written on their faces.
After a few seconds, the scene was completely boiling!
“What?! Boys?!”
“Did I hear you correctly? Xie Shuhan likes boys?”
“Oh my God! This is so surprising!”
The exclamations, discussions, and screams intertwined together, almost knocking off the roof of the hall.
Many girls’ eyes turned red instantly, with heartbroken expressions on their faces, and they murmured: “It’s actually a boy… I thought it was a girl…”
“My god of learning, it turns out that he likes boys…”
Yu Yifan, sitting next to Lu Jin, was also stunned by the answer. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Jin.
But he saw Lu Jin sitting there in a daze, as if he had been cast a restraining spell, looking at the stage without blinking.
The tears on his face were not yet dry, but his eyes were full of shock, astonishment, and a hint of indescribable ecstasy.
Lu Jin’s mind went blank, with only Xie Shuhan’s words “He is a boy” echoing in his ears.
He…he likes boys?Not a girl?
This knowledge was like a bright light, instantly illuminating his originally gloomy world, making him instantly feel like he was alive again!
It turns out that Xie Shuhan likes boys!Does that mean that he has not reached a dead end and that he still has a chance?
The hope that had just been shattered by the words “I have someone I like” was now rekindled like a dead tree blooming into spring, and it burned even more fiercely.
He looked at the cold and determined figure on the stage, his heart beating wildly, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised uncontrollably.
He likes boys…
Lu Jin recited this sentence silently over and over again in his heart.
After Xie Shuhan finished saying this, he ignored the huge turmoil at the scene and the shocked expressions of everyone in the audience. He just nodded slightly to the host, then turned around, walked slowly off the stage with steady steps, his back still cold and upright.
Until his figure disappeared behind the stage, the noise at the scene still did not subside.
The audience was still discussing this explosive news enthusiastically. Some were shocked, some were sorry, some were blessing, and some were guessing who the lucky boy was.
“It’s actually a boy! It’s really surprising!”
“Xie Shuhan is so brave, he actually admitted it in public!”
“I don’t know who that boy is, but I’m so happy to be liked by Xie Shuhan!”
“I suddenly felt that Xie Shuhan is more handsome! He is cold and brave!”
Zhou Yan sat in the first row with a hint of shock on his face.
I was still surprised when I heard him admit that he liked boys in public.
He subconsciously turned to look at Lu Jin, only to see tears on Lu Jin’s face, but a bright smile on his lips, and his eyes were full of ecstasy and expectation.
A trace of complicated emotions flashed through Zhou Yan’s eyes, and then his gentle expression returned. He gently withdrew his gaze and looked at the stage, but he was thinking about something in his heart.
It took the host a while to barely control the order of the scene, with a slightly embarrassed yet professional smile on his face: “I didn’t expect that Mr. Xie would bring us such a big surprise!”
He paused and quickly changed the topic, “Okay, let us once again thank Xie Shuhan for her wonderful singing and candid sharing! Next, I would like to invite Xie Shuhan to go back to the backstage to rest. Our judges and teachers will give scores. Please wait a moment!”
The audience burst into warm applause again, but this time, the applause was mixed with more complex emotions.
Lu Jin sat in his seat, still unable to calm down the excitement in his heart.
Xie Shuhan likes boys, and he still has a chance.
No matter who “he” is, he will never give up, and he will work hard to enter Xie Shuhan’s world.
The lights on the stage came on again, and the host began to connect the next sessions.
