Chapter 91 - Being the very best.
Except for the few people who were already in the know, no one else knew how to react in the moment.
The only person standing in front of the podium was You Liangxing, his mouth was opening and closing, but the sounds flowing out of his mouth was a complete mismatch to his valiant and heroic bearing.
If they wanted to say someone had turned on a voice changer as a prank, that would be improbable; while it was possible to use a voice changer to modify the sound, it would be too obvious and everyone would be able to discern it. Without the audience being fully conscious of it, the voice continued to reverberate through the entire premise, and it was evident that natural and tenuous voice.
There was absolutely nothing wrong….
This was indeed the voice of You Liangxing!
After that particular gem was confirmed, there was an upsurge of fervour going across the drill grounds in an instant, even though there were people in charge of discipline, a wave of unstoppable cries still rose from the crowd.
Some were surprised, others were enraptured; a plethora of emotions were jumbled up together. With every sentence that You Liangxing spoke, there would be an exceeding amount of bustle and excitement and there would be hundreds of responses to every call. It was supposed to be a speech, yes, but the atmosphere made it seem like a star celebrity had arrived to give a solo concert. The previously listless freshmen who had nearly been driven to sleep by the various speeches that the leaders gave, no matter male or female, were incomparably energised. Despite covering his ears to fend off the noises that the surrounding females were making, the expressionless Kang Shengzhe was still sent into confusion by their rancour.
…. He was f.u.c.king done for.
Starting from the moment where You Liangxing had opened his mouth, a gigantic net had been pulled over the network, unhindered in its sweep, and the group and forums had long descended into an uproar. The voices of the females in the freshmen group were already hoa.r.s.e and exhausted from all the shouting they were doing.
【Did I just freakin’ hear that!!!!! How could such a person exist!!】
【He looks so handsome but he actually has a loli voice??? This combination is quite good, no?!! Gaaaaah I can’t do this anymore!! Crazily beating the ground!!】
【A divine critical hit!! I never expected that I, this little celestial fairy, would actually fold here!!】
【He’s too cute!!! What I mean is, this You-xuezhang is way! Too! Freaking! Cute!】
【Stop talking! I get it!!! Your heart has been pierced!!】
【I originally thought he was here to take my heart, but I didn’t think he would directly take my dog life…. Holy!!!】
【Enrolling into A University was worth it!!】
While the freshmen were worked up, innumerable Year Twos, Year Threes, Year Fours and old students were flocking to the A University web forum and causing heavy rainstorms and strong gales everywhere. They had been observing You Liangxing from the side lines for a long time and they had always believed You Liangxing to be utterly aloof, but they had never imagined that the legend of their campus would unexpectedly reveal his voice in front of the entire school, and the difference from his appearance would be so vast!!
It was incredibly huge!!!!!
It was too huge!!!!!!!!
k3010;A bunch of spicy chickens, did you really think that the biggest news this year is about the campus funding or whatever city’s number one scholar? I spit! Have you ever heard of You-xuezhang revealing his voice!!!! k3011;
k3010;One onsite frozen chicken in a disorder as the wind blows.k3011;
k3010;Did all of you just hear that?? Is there something wrong with my ears or is there something wrong with my brain??k3011;
【Upstairs, you did not hear wrongly, You-xuezhang was really like a sonic boom!! For real!! He revealed his voice!!】
In the hearts of the old students, the impression of You Liangxing as a Gaolin flower was deeply engraved within them, and between the old students and the freshmen, the former group suffered a comparatively larger blow, such that everyone was discussing the matter heatedly.
【What is the meaning of this, why does You-xuezhang have a girly voice!!! It’s no wonder he doesn’t speak much!!!】
【He has such a good-looking handsome outstanding face, but his voice… WTF, my chest tightened!!!】
【Sensed it!!! Everyone sensed it!!!!】
【Sensed it your head!!! You-xuezhang is too adorable like this!!!】
【Stirred by his cuteness!!! Stirred by his cuteness ah!!!!!】
The impression that You Liangxing always gave everyone was that there was a distance between him and the others. Although everyone would occasionally throw him a glance at him school and the web forum had an abundance of posts with his sneak shots, everyone felt that he was akin to a distant television show idol; while they were in the same school on the surface, they seemed to be from different worlds in actuality.
But in the moment where they were taken by surprise by the sudden unveiling of You Liangxing’s voice, everyone felt that as they were simultaneously shocked, there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy, like they had drawn closer to You Liangxing, for the originally distant and swaying Gaolin flower seemed to have gained an uncertain breath of vitality. From the beginning, the female student population had always been deeply infatuated with You Liangxing; and not only did the contrast not disappoint them once they heard it, they felt like they had been injected with chicken blood, and the web forums was a river of【He’s explosively cute, I want to…】
【Say it loud, say it proud!!!】
【Clenching fist, exhaling, I want… I want… want to do things to him!!】
【I will always remember this day, truly.】
【Hah…. I really want to know what the h.e.l.l the people there were doing!! Couldn’t you have record a video?!! Couldn’t you have recorded a sound file!! How are the people attending their cla.s.ses supposed to live?!!】
While the girls were working up a frenzy, the boys who would usually disappear without a trace whenever You Liangxing was mentioned suddenly emerged out of the woodwork.
【After being oppressed for two years by You Liangxing and unable to find a girlfriend, I don’t know why but my heart feels quite pleased…】
【+1】
【+2】
【Oh, I have a girlfriend but I still have to give the poster three floors up a thumbs up…. Because it makes too much f.u.c.king sense.】
【I feel like I’m about to soar from how pleased I am.】
【Yes, it does feel good, but truthfully speaking, don’t you find that You Liangxing’s voice is very cute?】
【… WTF, brother, your thoughts are a little dangerous.】
……
As varying and mult.i.tudes of comments were being generated on the internet, the scene was as lively as ever. The old students and personnel had wide eyes and gaping mouths, the freshmen were excitable and uncontrollable, but under the heated gazes of everyone, You Liangxing was like an unmoving mountain as he politely and strictly read the entirety of his drafted speech.
Admittedly, he would never have gone on stage to speak had he not lost a bet to Liao Su, but since he was already at the podium, he had to finish everything with a calm demeanour.
When he was done reading the last sentence, You Liangxing inclined his body and said: “Thank you everyone.”
Thunderous applause rang out from below the stage. Furthermore, the roused freshmen even threw their military caps, allowing them to fly onto stage one by one. It was only then that Liao Su, who was enjoying the commotion to the point where his face was red from his silent laughter, came up on stage to lend a hand by reinforcing order and escorting the leaders away.
You Liangxing was not idle either; he used his usual gestures to a.s.sign tasks but his members – once circ.u.mspect and amicable – had a change in their personalities as they stared at You Liangxing with bright eyes, each with visages that were screaming about the numerous things they wanted to say to him.
You Liangxing: “……”
His head was really big.
Before he stepped off the stage, You Liangxing unconsciously looked in the direction of the Liberal Arts College. However, with how dense the crowd was, it was impossible to see the person he wanted to see.
“Ah… Brother Liang Liang left.” Liang Chulin stared at You Liangxing’s fading back as disappointment and loss swirled in his heart.
Compared to the surrounding people who were bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, Liang Chulin was deadly calm. He felt incomparably upset about the fact that other people were privy to the secret he had been cherishing, and his entire body exuded his displeasure.
And naturally, there were people who were more peeved than Liang Chulin. Before Liang Chulin could get his full sentence out, he heard a teeth grinding noise that was beyond description.
Liang Chulin’s shoulders trembled and he raised his head sideways to look at Kang Shengzhe. His expression was as indolent as always, but his eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with suppressed frigidity. And with the teeth grinding noise that was being issued from his mouth, it gave Liang Chulin the fleeting illusion that he was watching a horror movie unfold.
“You, don’t deliberately scare people like this.”
Kang Shengzhe glanced over and Liang Chulin choked on his tongue, finding it hard to speak. “What’s the use of looking at me, we have to gather for military training soon, and you can’t run off secretly either. Hey you, I already told you not to look at me like that. QAQ”
Snorting softly, Kang Shengzhe no longer tangled himself with the topic. He was indeed annoyed, but he understood that Liang Chulin was saying the truth. The military training had to go on and if he wanted to see You Liangxing, he could only wait until evening.
The time in the afternoon pa.s.sed terribly slow. In Kang Shengzhe’s opinion, having to stand under the sun in military posture was already hard to take, and the experience was only markedly worsened by the fact that his heart was lined with thoughts about You Liangxing. Muddleheaded, he waited for evening to come, and while he was eating dinner with Liang Chulin, Kang Shengzhe b.u.mped into his female cla.s.smates in the cafeteria again.
After not seeing them for a few hours, the group of female students had visibly darkened by a few shades after being scorched by the sun. Although they had darkened, their energy levels were decent, but what was baffling was how their gazes seemed a little dim when they saw Kang Shengzhe, and they always sighed after greeting him before they slipped away without leaving even a shadow.
Liang Chulin was puzzled. “What happened to them?”
Kang Shengzhe was too lazy to carry the conversation and he continued to eat at a rapid speed. As he was eating, Liang Chulin suddenly exclaimed: “Ah! The votes for the web forum have been declared!”
Web forum, declared votes, what he was talking about was precisely the ‘The most popular boy in University A” that was brought up yesterday. Back then, the voting process was still ongoing and the concrete number of votes were not revealed because the results would only be publicised after the voting cut-off.
Kang Shengzhe did not have much interest in the matter but his brows did jump. Placing down his chopsticks, he asked: “How many votes?”
Liang Chulin said, “You?”
Kang Shengzhe: “Not me.”
If it was not him, there was only one other person worthy of such attention. Having grasped his meaning, Liang Chulin immediately went to find You Liangxing’s entry but it did not require any flipping because on his phone interface, the first person in the ranking happened to be the individual Liang Chulin had been expecting. And he went by three characters: You Liangxing.
“I knew Brother Liang Liang would definitely be in first place, hahahaha.” Liang Chulin laughed happily, but his laughter broke off halfway. Unable to help it, he said, “What the f.u.c.k.”
Kang Shengzhe seemed to have predicted something as he said faintly: “Speak.”
Liang Chulin was wearing a startled expression, “I knew Brother Liang Liang would definitely be in first place, but this number is too exaggerated…. There’s more than 20,000 votes.”
And what kind of concept was having 20,000 votes? Kang Shengzhe’s cohort of freshmen added together only accounted for 5000 people, and through simple calculations, not only did the Year Two and Year Three senior students and older school sisters come out full force, he was afraid that even most of the freshmen had given You Liangxing their votes.
No wonder the girls in their cla.s.s felt embarra.s.sed when they saw Kang Shengzhe; thinking about it, even their cla.s.smates probably could not resist switching their allegiances……
