Chapter 666: 264 The true moonlight, Bai Lian, can also play the guzheng_2

Jiang Fulai walked out the door to the outside, where quite a few people were still gathered, watching in groups. Occasionally, he heard words like “spear,” “video,” and “Bai Lian.”

Jiang Fulai glanced at them and, with a cold face, went to wait for Bai Lian down the road behind them.

Bai Lian had changed clothes and came out with her backpack, Ye Jingxian holding onto her arm the whole way out.

Ye Jingxian wanted to talk more with Bai Lian, but as soon as they came out, she saw Jiang Fulai standing opposite, looking unapproachable. Ye Jingxian suddenly let go of Bai Lian’s arm, not daring to hold onto it any longer.

The auditorium’s second act was a group dance, which was lively as well.

Pop dance, with the music played loudly.

But most of the audience was still engrossed in the spear performance and the music they had just witnessed–compared with the classical arrangement of the drums, flutes, pipa, and zither… this pop music sounded somewhat crude and didn’t strike the heart as deeply.

Many in the audience were no longer in the mood to listen.

That included the people in the second row.

Lady Song had been talking to Bai Shaoqi, advising her to stay composed and perform well later, so that she could be remembered by the professors and dean of the Finance College. That way, people and social circles would seek her out, and as the saying goes, “When the phoenix sings, the world listens.”

But once the music started, she couldn’t help but look towards the center stage.

Had that face not been the one she was familiar with, Lady Song might have doubted whether this was the same Bai Lian she knew before.

She was truly shining.

“Is that really Bai Lian?” Lady Song leaned back in her chair.

Beside her, Song Min and Bai Shaoqi said nothing.

Song Min had also been looking at his phone. He had been investing with a group of people since the summer break, and even while watching the show, he was discussing these matters. However, his eyes began to wander from his phone.

“Shaoqi,” Lady Song, very attuned to Bai Shaoqi’s feelings, said, “You play the zither very well, no need to feel pressured.”

As Lady Song spoke, Song Min’s attention gradually returned.

Some in the front row had already left.

And not just the first row, spectators from other sections were also trickling out.

**

Back row.

Tang Ming’s classmate in front of him was as excited as if he had been injected with adrenaline, “Yes, it’s Bai Lian, my live stream doesn’t have playback… Is there already a high-definition recording online? Hey, don’t leave everyone, there’s still the final act to come… ”

The evening event hadn’t even ended yet, and the opening performance had already been posted online.

Kong Wei and Yu Simin also snapped out of it; both were fans of Yan Lu, “Her performance was even better than Lu Jie, Isn’t Bai Lian actually from a traditional martial arts family?”

Yu Simin opened Weibo and the videos, unable to help herself, “Indeed, the eyes of the netizens are sharp, there’s a trending post online.”

The power of short videos is immense. The words “Jiang University” and “Bai Xiangjun” were already popular on their own.

Once “Jiang University’s opening performance” came out, it shot up to the top five on the trending searches.

When Tang Ming heard what Yu Simin and Kong Wei said, they all clicked into the trending searches, and saw various videos of Bai Lian from different angles, with the most popular being shot by two reporters in the front row.

The full version, 4.28 minutes long, had already received 1 million likes and 120,00s.

[Wow, did you see that smile she had at the end? She’s not just a sister, she’s my husband!]

[Please, let this girl act in a movie. I’ll definitely watch whatever she’s in.]

[…Wake up, guys! She’s this year’s valedictorian from Jiang University! If you want her to enter showbiz, will the university’s president and professors not cry themselves to death?!]

[Indeed, I knew all the beautiful people were claimed by the state!]

[Who is this lady? She’s so compelling, it’s like truly seeing my white moonlight who died a millennium ago coming back to life.]

[Who knows, after watching Dayong, Bai Li dying in the snow, the brother dying in battle, the princess being married off far away… Seeing her on stage today, the moment the light shone on her, I felt even my beloved Lu Jie was outshone.]

[At the prime of youth, filled with charm and spirit, in white with a cold spear.]

[My big sister finally has a face to show off!]

Yan Lu’s elegance and acting skills along with her spear performance received unanimous recognition from netizens, and many would think of Yan Lu first when mentioning the historical figure Bai Xiangjun. As long as she didn’t disappoint, this role would ensure her enduring fame in the entertainment industry.

However, today, the professors at Jiang University and the students who were present felt as though they had truly seen the statue from Celebrity Square come to life.

She didn’t need to conquer everyone with superb acting like Yan Lu did.

Just standing there with a cold spear, appearing before them, was enough to win everyone over.

Tang Ming put away his phone, reflecting that it felt a bit like watching Pu Xiaohan’s first video go viral.

He put his phone away and turned to ask Ning Xiao and Yang Lin, “Are you leaving? The homework the teacher gave today is tough, and Brother Jiang is here.”

Ning Xiao, always aloof, nodded, “Let’s go.”

As for Yang Lin, there was no need for discussion, she had a part-time job in the evening, and she had come only to support Bai Lian.

The students from Xiangcheng were scattered but united in spirit.

Seeing Tang Ming and the others getting ready to leave early, Kong Wei and Ding Wenyang said, “You’re all leaving like this? Bai Shaoqi has the finale, she plays the zither beautifully, with millions of fans. Many are still waiting for her performance, aren’t you going to listen?”

After watching the opening performance, even the most exquisite dances and songs seemed somewhat lackluster.

Some people had already left from the back rows, but others, burning with excitement, stayed on, convinced that if the opening was this thrilling, the finale wouldn’t disappoint.

The Finance College had been heavily promoting this year, and with such a thrilling opening performance, numerous spectators were looking forward to the final act!

Tang Ming, upon hearing Kong Wei’s words, scratched his head, “It’s nothing special, she doesn’t play as well as Sister Bai.”

He had also been involved in that incident involving Director Jian in Xiangcheng and had specifically listened to Bai Shaoqi play “Gambling with Liquor.” To be honest, even he could feel the gap.

It wasn’t a problem of technique, but of emotion.

“What?” Bai Lian never brought a zither to their dorm, and Kong Wei was hearing this for the first time from Tang Ming, “Bai Lian can play the zither too? And she’s good?”

“Of course,” Ning Xiao and Yang Lin had already left, and Tang Ming, carrying his backpack, smiled at Kong Wei, “Sister Bai became famous in our school precisely because of her zither performance.”

Pu Xiaohan gained popularity because of that video, and Director Jian traveled all the way to Xiangcheng.

Was there even a need to discuss Bai Lian’s skill level on the zither?
