Chapter 39: Lu Li's Shock

  When the four of them arrived at the football field, it was already packed with people. There were freshmen who couldn't wait to see their idols, seniors who wanted to catch a glimpse of their predecessors' skills, and student union members who were busy running around on stage.

  Many people gathered in twos and threes below, discussing tonight's party, a lively scene. However, this made the student union members who were maintaining order extremely busy. In the end, they couldn't help it and just gave up, with some even joining in the discussion, making the scene even more chaotic.

  Looking at those faces full of expectation and excitement, Lu Li really wanted to be on the stage at this moment, becoming the focus of attention for all.

  Three wolves in the dormitory ignored Lu Li's daydreaming on one side, turned around for a while on the playground, and after finding their own "base", they ran over with a swing of their hips, and even made an effort to get closer to the girls.

  Lü Lì also arrived at the classroom, but didn't go with the wolf friends to find girls to chat up. Instead, he quietly observed the situation on stage by himself.

  As it was just a private party in the campus, the stage was relatively simple. A frame was set up behind the stage with a huge red plastic background that had "Welcome Party for 2011 Freshmen" written on it in big letters.

  In the front row of the auditorium, there was a long table with a red velvet cloth on it. Behind the table were several rows of chairs, each with a name tag, apparently for school leaders or guests.

  After a while, the head teacher of each class came to the scene, maintaining order in their own class, and then took them to the designated area with the assistance of the student union. The freshmen were the luckiest, being arranged behind the seats for leaders and guests, closer to the stage.

  But the seniors in their third and fourth years who are still in school will have to move back a bit, however they don't have much to complain about, after all this is the welcoming party for new students, it's their benefit.

  Under the joint efforts of teachers and students, the scene finally took shape, with each class forming a small square team. From high above, it can be seen that the football field has now become a series of small squares. In front of these small squares are several rows of chairs, and in front of them is a simple stage.

  The sky slowly darkened, and with a "testing" sound of "hello", the noisy scene quickly became quiet. The long-awaited classmates all knew that the show was about to begin.

  It was at this time that the chairs in the front row also started to have people with big bellies or elegant demeanors taking their seats, and before long all the chairs were filled.

  At this time, the lights on the stage also went out. When they lit up again, Lu Li saw that there were four more hosts, two men and two women, on the stage.

  Respected leaders, distinguished guests, dear teachers and fellow students, each of the three hosts just said a sentence.

  Good evening everyone. This time it's four hosts speaking together.

  The last host who had not spoken finally spoke up: "Welcome everyone to the Huaxia Music Academy New Year's Eve party, I am your host Lin Liang."

  Later, the other three hosts also introduced themselves. Lu Li didn't expect that Guan Ruiqin, the senior who had helped him before, was also one of the hosts. At this moment, after putting on makeup, this senior looked much prettier than she did initially.

  Several hosts introduced and said a few opening remarks, then introduced the leaders and guests in the front row. Later, one male and female host stepped down, leaving only Lin Liang and Guan Ruiqin interacting with each other, starting to announce the first program.

  As the music accompaniment sounded, a very cool-looking girl walked onto the stage and sang for everyone a song from a famous female singer who graduated from Hua Xia Music Academy, "Girl".

  The lyrics of this song are simple, and the melody is catchy. The song "Girl" sung by a sophomore named Zhang ? in her clean and sweet voice, seems to bring to mind a naturally beautiful girl who doesn't like to dress up.

  "Bravo!" As Zhang finished her performance and bowed off the stage, thunderous applause erupted. It was no wonder that she was a student of Huaxia Music Academy. Even though Lu Li had never heard this song before, he didn't doubt for a moment that Zhang would perform it exceptionally well, at least judging from the reaction of the live audience.

  After one song, the host who went down earlier appeared on stage again, praised Zhang's singing, and then left after announcing the next program.

  And after the song, this time it's a dance program. Under the host's introduction, Lü Lì only then knew that the performing team was a street dance team from the academy called "Sisters". The Sisters street dance team only recruits female members and refuses to accept male members. Because most of the team members are beauties, they are very popular in the academy among both males and females.

  This time the sister dance team performed street dance, and many boys watched the few beauties on stage wearing sexy clothes quickly dancing to the beat of the music, their hearts itching with desire. The three wolves beside Lu Li were already excitedly howling, eager to go up and dance with the beauties together.

  One after another program came on stage, not only with senior students, but also interspersed with many already well-known star alumni, constantly pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

  Under the performance of one wonderful program after another, the freshmen in the audience cheered and looked forward to being on stage themselves next year or the year after. Many people's eyes shone brightly.

  Of course, there were also some small programs during the period, but few and far between, after all, this is the Huaxia Music Academy, the main program is still song singing or instrumental performance, even dance is a relatively rare program.

  However, Lu Li was somewhat depressed because he had hardly heard any of the songs or music performed on stage. And Cao Jinping next to him kept asking himself if this song sounded good or not, and what made it sound good, which annoyed Lu Li to no end. At the same time, Lu Li also secretly decided that he would have to spend some time getting familiar with some of the masterpieces of this world, so as not to be mistaken for a newbie.

  Although Lu Li is not very rich now, he is much better off than when he first crossed over. Moreover, tomorrow is October 15th, the day when online article fees are distributed. So now Lu Li downloading some songs online is also a trivial matter.

  Under Cao Jinping's entanglement, time flew by quickly, and soon it was the penultimate program. After Guan Ruiqin and Lin Liang came down to report on the program, Lu Li heard a huge cheer.

  "Li Ran! Li Ran!"

  In the classroom, many girls on the other side also screamed loudly.

  Among the noisy voices, Lu Li heard words like "It's actually Li Ran!", "I didn't expect Li Ran to come tonight too!", "Ah, Li Ran I love you!" and so on.

  The uniform and unified calls of Li Ran's name throughout the venue left Lu Li with an inexplicable shock. Is this what it means to be a superstar? I must work harder.

  At this moment of shock, Lao San Cao Jinping pulled Lu Li, both hands trembling with excitement: "A Li, it's Li Ran, it's Li Ran!"

  Cao Jinping didn't know what to say, and just kept repeating the name Li Ran. Lu Li looked at Cao Jinping in surprise, could it be that his third brother was a fan of Li Ran?

  "Hmm, Third Brother, I know it's Li Ran, is there a need to be so agitated?" Lu Li was somewhat speechless.

  "Hey, A Li, you often code words and don't understand Lao San. He is a loyal fan of Li Ran, the kind that is die-hard. Now that he has seen his idol, can he not be excited?" The nearby Gao Mu heard the conversation between the two and chimed in.

  Lu Li only realized this now, but he didn't even know about it himself. It seems that he wasn't concerned enough about his dormitory brothers. Lu Li also felt a bit guilty in his heart.

  But at this moment, Lu Li couldn't afford to think about these things, the performance on stage had already begun.

  Although the distance is not very far, under the light, Lu Li can't see clearly, but he can also judge that this Li Ran is a handsome guy, somewhat like Wang Leehom on Earth.

  Li Ran on stage waved to everyone and sat down in a chair with a guitar.

  "This song 'Secret Love' is for my junior brothers and sisters." With that said, Li Ran began to strum the guitar and sing this song "Secret Love" from his early days.

  This is a campus folk song, under the simple and comfortable guitar accompaniment, Li Ran's clean but rich voice sounds more charming. Moreover, Li Ran himself is a talented person, all his songs since debut are written and composed by himself, can be said to be a powerful creative singer-songwriter. At the same time, Li Ran looks extremely handsome, now holding a guitar and singing deeply, I don't know how many girls were killed on the spot.

  Such a talented and handsome person, no wonder he can get the applause of the whole audience. Li Ran is also a heavenly king-level figure in the Chinese music scene, and is currently one of the most influential students of the Huaxia Music Academy who is still active in the public eye, apart from Lang Di.

  Lu Li listened to Li Ran's singing, looking at Li Ran's deep expression, and couldn't help but admit that this was a man who could move girls' hearts. If she were a girl herself, she would probably be infatuated with him too.

  However, Lu Li is not a girl, he is a boy. He only saw what he needed to learn from Li Ran's performance - playing musical instruments. This is something that Lu Li has been neglecting and hadn't thought of. Not just the guitar, but also the piano and so on, Lu Li needs to learn all these things as preparation for his future path. It seems like there are still many things he needs to learn.

  What was even more unexpected for Lu Li and all the students of Huaxia Music Academy was that after Li Ran finished singing, he didn't immediately go down, but instead switched his guitar to a cello, it was unclear what he wanted to perform.

  Everyone was thinking, "I've never heard of Li Ran playing the cello before, what is he going to do?"
