Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Opening Ceremony
Sheng Tang wasn’t angry.
She straightened her posture, then asked Qin Lin back, "Did I say something? Your brother gave you tickets for the basketball game, what’s wrong with that? Why are you upset?"
Qin Lin felt guilty, so he thought there was something off in Sheng Tang’s words.
He had stepped into one trap after another, it was like falling into a continuous loop.
He didn’t want to talk to Sheng Tang anymore and decided not to give her the tickets.
Several days of rehearsal passed quickly amidst her bickering with Qin Lin.
Qin Lin didn’t come out on top.
He didn’t know what he was thinking and simply gave in: "Do you have some time? Tomorrow is the round of twelve to eight, at City East Stadium, do you want to watch it together?"
Sheng Tang also quite liked watching basketball games, even though she wasn’t very good at playing.
Gu Shiting would probably like it even more.
However, he didn’t go to the live games as he couldn’t handle the large crowds.
Sheng Tang really wanted to bring him along so he could experience the passion of the fans on site, which would surely be different from watching on TV.
She felt a bit regretful: "I won’t go this time, let’s watch it together in the future when we get a chance."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Zhou Yu is so good at basketball, why not invite him to play sometime?"
"He’s about to take the college entrance exam. Apart from training and competitions, how could he have time to play with you?" Qin Lin said.
Sheng Tang replied, "We can gather during the summer break."
Winter break had just ended, summer was still far away. Qin Lin was impatient: "Talk about it during the summer."
On Friday afternoon, there were no classes, and all the students gathered in the auditorium for the new semester’s opening ceremony.
This time, Sheng Tang’s program was the first song to open the ceremony.
The school placed a great importance on her.
The song she sang, "Cotton Candy," was written and composed by Ma Xueyang from her world, performed by his group "Top Combine" along with four others.
When the song became popular, Sheng Tang had already started working and would often hear it.
She wasn’t a singer and couldn’t handle very difficult songs, so she liked this one a lot.
However, she was very busy being a rising star at that time, and though the entertainment industry was both big and small, she liked the song but never had the chance to meet Ma Xueyang in person.
The song became a hit, winning several significant awards.
Later, as times changed, the music industry went from flourishing to declining, and many singers faded away; in the following years, other talent shows would frequently feature this song.
Every time Sheng Tang sang it, she found it very sweet, like cotton candy, much like first love.
Today, she wore a purple and white dress, which Gu Shiyan bought for her the last time they were in Paris.
The dress was fairy-like; the soft light gathered around her, her black hair and fair skin looked stunning, drawing all the gazes in the auditorium towards her.
Her singing was clear, melodious, and evocative, as if it could touch people’s hearts.
"You are the cotton candy in my heart, a sweet dream..."
The lyrics weren’t especially fancy, but the love of young boys and girls was often so sweet and direct.
No matter how straightforward, it didn’t seem vulgar, instead, it was so pure and captivating. On the stage, Sheng Tang, with her long dress trailing, moved gracefully with her steps.
After her song ended, as usual, thunderous applause erupted.
Many of her admirers were very excited, standing up and shouting her name like real fans.
The applause was like waves, pouring layer upon layer, filling the entire auditorium.
She smiled, standing in the soft light, slightly bowing with elegance and composure, then stepped down from the stage.
