CH 15

Jian Xingsui took a deep breath, stood up, faced the camera and everyone's gaze, and said, "I'm willing to accept the challenge."

The scene was silent at first. Then there were unstoppable cheers. Some people stood up and applauded while others were watching the fun and whistling.

Teacher Li asked, "Are you sure?"

Jian Xingsui nodded.

Zhou Xun showed a somewhat sarcastic smile: "Do you really want to accept it?"

Jian Xingsui's answer this time was without hesitation: "I accept."

After seeing that Jian Xingsui had agreed, several mentors on the mentor's platform even had a completely different opinion about him from the first time he had come to participate in the audition. He obviously seemed to have more momentum and more confidence now.

Tuya applauded in surprise.

Fu Jinxiao hooked his lips and smiled, with a touch of approval in his eyes.

Because he was a challenger, Zhou Xun started his singing. The song he picked was too difficult to rap "You Can't Stop Me Unstoppable". This was a very hot and explosive song. The front tune was very high, and Zhou Xun's own appearance was that kind of wild. So his style matched with that kind of energetic song very well.:

You can't stop me(originally in English)

I'm unstoppable

better, run, away(originally in English)

better roll away

When l enter the game mode huu(originally in English)

when we enter the game mode

we flash like lightning

Breaking through the boundless darkness and danger is my habit...

Some wild voices resounded throughout the competition hall, and the cheers were loud. Zhou Xun was really good at rap. He performed well in this song. However, this kind of fast-paced rap could make a person who had never come into contact with the fast-paced rap sing the same song too difficult.

After the performance, sweat fell from his forehead. Zhou Xun gasped and thanked: "Thank you, everyone."

Teacher Li praised: "Your rap skills are very good."

Zhou Xun bowed: "Thank you, teacher."

His performance was really excellent. It could be said that if everything went smoothly and if Jian Xingsui couldn't give a good performance, then it was obvious that he will succeed in this challenge.

Mentor Li looked at Jian Xingsui and said, "Are you ready?"

Jian Xingsui nodded lightly.

During the 20 minutes of preparation, the other contestants could also rest, but they couldn't hang around. They could only go to the bathroom or to drink some water or go to the makeup room to make up. When they were free, they were just talking about Jian Xingsui. Many people were wondering if he could win Zhou Xun, especially those who were with An Ran: "Ran Ran, that bully, can he rap?"

An Ran never knew about that. So he softly said, "I don't know, but in my impression he only sings occasionally."

Actually, he preferred listening to music.

Because Jian Xingsui hadn't taken many things when he had left Jian's house, when An Ran had moved there, he had found out that in his room, there was a wall full of Fu Jinxiao's albums. So he had assumed that this person should be quite fond of music.

An Ran said: "Jian Xingsui is actually quite good. He went to a foreign music school. I have always envied him. I am far worse than him." (T/N: Tsk tsk tsk)

When he said this, the other teammates felt distressed and quickly comforted:

"Ran Ran, he only relied on his family's money to study abroad!"

"He's far worse than you."

"I was exactly thinking why could he sing so good, it turned out to be the gift of his family's money." (T/N: Wait....what is this asshole talking about? Jian family gifted Jian Xingsui's voice??)

"He is completely incomparable to you. You rely only on your own efforts."

"This time he will definitely reveal his true ability."

While everyone was comforting An Ran, Jian Xingsui was rehearsing for the piano performance under the stage. His earphones were playing that rap song over and over again. The explosive songs reverberated in his ears. He sat there quietly. He didn't move for five minutes.

Even the vocal teacher was a little anxious.

Just when the vocal teacher thought he was going to sit there like that for twenty minutes, Jian Xingsui suddenly stood up. He bent down and asked the vocal teacher, "Hello, I want to ask, can I not use background music for my performance later?"

The vocal teacher was stunned: "Huh?"

Jian Xingsui smiled, feeling a little embarrassed: "I want to sing a cappella version of this song. So later can you please give me this piano to play? I will play the background music myself."

There were very few people who made such a request. Generally speaking, it is very difficult to play and sing at the same time. Besides, his performance was going to be broadcasted live. What's more, the song he was going to play wasn't even a familiar song to him. Under such circumstances, how could someone make such a request?

The vocal music teacher thought about it and said, "I have to ask the directors and mentors for advice."

Jian Xingsui bowed: "Thank you."

The vocal music teacher went to discuss with the tutors and the program team.

Jian Xingsui, who stayed where he was, didn't dare to do anything but just waited stupidly. He sat down and started to press the keys according to the arrangement he had just thought of in his heart. Little by little, he started to press the keys according to the progress of the lyrics of the song. All the lyrics and tones seemed to form an equation in his mind, regrouped and reorganized.

When he reached one of the climaxes of the song, Jian Xingsui's hand stopped. He didn't know how to proceed better here. The piano sound stopped abruptly, and the fingers that fell on it also stopped. When Jian Xingsui fell silent again, the clock on the wall was already moving towards 15 minutes, and he was running out of time.

At this moment, a pair of slender hands fell. In place of Jian Xingsui's hand, that hand pressed a few piano notes, which perfectly matched the previous tune, and this passage seemed to be the finishing touch. The tunes connected smoothly.

Jian Xingsui raised his head in surprise and met Fu Jinxiao's eyes.

Fu Jinxiao said, "Go ahead."

In terms of music, some people seemed to have a soul that resonates.

Jian Xingsui calmed down and continued to play until the end of the song. A thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead. The original song was still playing in the headphones, and he already had a new version of this song in his heart .

After Jian Xingsui played the whole song, he turned his eyes and realized that Fu Jinxiao was still standing behind him. So he immediately stood up in a panic, but because he was too panicked, he hit his knee, and immediately made a "hiss" sound. His face turned pale in some pain.

Fu Jinxiao chuckled softly: "What are you doing ne?"

Jian Xingsui covered his knees, then let go and said, "No, I accidentally bumped into it."

Fu Jinxiao leaned beside the piano stand and joked casually: "Are you always this reckless?"

"No." Jian Xingsui hurriedly shook his head and said softly, "I just didn't expect you to be here."

Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows: "You're not happy to see me?"

Jian Xing's head was about to fall because of his continuous shaking: "No, no, I'm not unhappy, I'm happy, so happy...very happy....."

After carelessly muttering those words, he realized later what he said. Those words were more or less ambiguous when matched with Fu Jinxiao's earlier question. Jian Xingsui's earlobe unconsciously stained with a touch of red. He felt a little embarrassed while glancing at Fu Jinxiao.

Fu Jinxiao didn't make fun of it. He just explained: "I just didn't want to bother you because I saw you were playing the piano seriously."

It turned out that no matter how much of a big personality or a great public figure a person is, no matter how precious his time is, he is still willing to stand behind you and wait for you quietly when you are busy. He won't disturb you, he will just stand there watching you, and only step up to help you when you encounter difficulties, and then return everything to you, in a well-mannered and courteous manner.

Jian Xingsui's heart warmed. He bowed, "Thank you."

"What are you thanking for." Fu Jinxiao lifted his eyelids and looked at him. His dark eyes felt a little oppressive: "I'm here to tell you that you can sing a cappella without the background music. It's almost time, and you'll be on stage soon. Are you ready?"

Jian Xingsui took a deep breath: "Ready."

Fu Jinxiao curled his lips and called out, "Jian Xingsui."

"Um?"

When he looked up, he saw the tall man standing up straight. When he turned back to the mentor's platform, he dropped a sentence: "JIA YOU!!!! (which means come on, you can do it or fighting!!)."

It seemed like he had said it casually, but this kind of encouragement gave Jian Xingsui a lot of courage inexplicably. When the spotlight fell, he stood on the stage again.

A piano was brought in the middle of the stage, which surprised many people:

"Isn't it a rap song?"

"Piano rap?"

"What kind of weird combination is this???"

No matter how everyone guessed, the spotlights fell, and the audience's expectations seemed to have dropped a lot. Only the person in the middle of the stage was lit. Many people were waiting for the background music to play, but there was no background music. The person sitting by the piano raised his hand, and the crisp and elegant piano sound poured out. Then Jian Xingsui sang a cappella:

You can't stop me(originally in English)

I'm unstoppable

better, run, away(originally in English)

better roll away

When l enter the game mode huuuuuwoooo(originally in English)

when we enter the game mode

we flash like lightning

Breaking through the boundless darkness and danger is my habit...

Obviously, it was a very passionate song, but it was sung slowly from his low voice. With the elegant and gentle piano sound, it was like a lovelorn boy expressing his thoughts to a woman he loves.

Not only the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded in roars, but even Zhou Xun, who was originally determined to win, including a group of students who wanted to watch the fun all widened their eyes. It was unbelievable that someone could complete the adaptation of a song in 20 minutes!

The piano sound had a touch of sadness, and the deep male voice was like a lover's painful begging:

"My tears will be used as fuel, the acceleration is burning..."

"Never compromise, I can't compromise..."

Jian Xingsui's singing was very contagious. This was something that he was recognized on the first stage. When he had sung love songs, the feeling of heartbreak had come like a wave. And now when he sang these flaming lyrics, some deep and soulful singing and gentle and quiet piano sound actually made everyone's heart gradually calm down.

It was as if everyone was quietly listening to the unwilling murmur of the boy whose love was one-sided.

When the last key fell, the venue was still silent.

Then, the live broadcast room exploded:

"This version is so strong!"

"It actually sounds soooooooooooooooo good."

"His singing is actually not very strong, but it was different from some performances where I hated why there was no fast-forward button at the beginning of the show. I finished listening to it before I even knew it!"

"Maybe he is a hidden big vocal!"

The first performance of Jian Xingsui was really a very simple singing, a little restrained, as if he was really running away with 20,000 yuan after that performance. But at this moment, the person sitting in front of the piano, the spotlight of the stage was on him, and he was the master of that stage. He was also the focus of everyone's eyes.

After the performance, Teacher Li said with a smile, "Okay, Zhou Xun, please come on stage. We will re-evaluate Jian Xingsui's rating, please wait a moment."

When the mentors discussed with each other, everyone was nervous.

This seemed to be a counterattack and it seemed to concern everyone's heartstrings. Some people were guessing whether Jian Xingsui will be promoted to B, and some people were guessing whether Zhou Xun could be promoted in the end. The mentors on the mentor's platform were also discussing, and the smile on Tuya's face did not stop. When he had first performed on the stage, she had thought that Jian Xingsui's singing ability could be given to B. Now that he was so dazzling, Tuya seemed to have straightened her waist.

The discussion took more than five minutes, and when the discussion was over, everyone's hearts clenched.

The contestants' grades were announced by either Teacher Li or by Tuya. But this time, Fu Jinxiao was the one who picked up the mic. He had once announced that Jian Xingsui could only get a B. But now when he was looking at the person standing on the stage, that pair of amorous phoenix eyes had a shallow smile in it which made people unable to see his real emotion. At that moment, he opened his lips: "You Guess, do you think you will succeed in this challenge?"

Jian Xingsui didn't dare to guess. He was a little nervous.

Holding the microphone and taking a deep breath, he replied in a low voice, "I hope I can."

"Well." The smile in Fu Jinxiao's eyes deepened and his voice reached everyone's ears through the microphone: "Congratulations, Jian Xingsui, the final result of your challenge reassessment is A."
