After hesitating for a moment, Su Wan stepped forward and approached them, somewhat boldly asking, "What song is this?"
The two girls were taken aback, turning their heads in unison to see Su Wan, who had appeared in the Lounge without them noticing.
"Sister Su Guo?" Wangzai Little Radish called out in confusion.
Su Wan replied, "Yes, what song is it?"
The girl with the avant-garde style was the first to react. She quickly grabbed the sheet music from the table and handed it over, saying, "It's 'Gentle' by Mayday."
Su Wan took the sheet music and glanced over it, noticing that it consisted of simple rhythmic patterns. Based on some basic drumming skills she had learned a few years ago, handling this should not be a problem.
"Senior, do you play the drums?" Wangzai Little Radish gradually regained her composure, a hint of excitement appearing in her expression.
"I can manage this song," Su Wan nodded with a light smile. "As long as you don't mind my lack of skill."
With twists and turns in the situation, having someone perform on stage was better than no one at all. She didn't care about how refined her technique was. Little Radish couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with joy, saying, "As long as you can play, that's enough... Thank you so much, Senior!"
"You're welcome," Su Wan replied, feeling a bit shy. "But I've already removed my makeup..."
Wangzai Little Radish waved her hand dismissively. "It doesn't matter! Your natural face is already more stunning than all of us!"
Su Wan: "......" That wasn't what she meant...
After returning from the parking lot, Fu Weiheng went straight to the audience seats. As he reached the aisle, he inadvertently noticed the empty seat next to Xu Chengyang. He frowned and took out his phone, preparing to make a call. Just then, Xu Chengyang, who had been talking to Yao Ye, caught sight of him and quickly stood up, saying, "Deity, Guan Guan left her phone in the Lounge. She just went to get it and should be here soon. You can sit down for now."
Fu Weiheng pondered for a moment before finally sitting down in the first seat in the aisle.
About ten minutes passed. After another program ended on stage, the host came up next. Fu Weiheng glanced at the still-empty seat beside him and then at the WeChat message he had sent ten minutes ago that had yet to receive a reply. He felt a bit restless.
As Fu Weiheng put away his phone and was about to stand up, the host on stage had already finished announcing and stepped down. The stage lights dimmed, plunging everything into darkness. He could only hear some rustling sounds from the stage, so he reluctantly sat back down to wait for the lights to come back on.
Ten seconds later, the lights suddenly brightened. Fu Weiheng squinted slightly as he adjusted to the light. Just as he was about to stand up again, he froze upon seeing the drummer on stage, completely taken by surprise.
"No way! Isn't that Guan Guan?" Xu Chengyang exclaimed from one seat away, his voice standing out in the suddenly quiet audience.
Yao Ye turned his gaze and then noticed the drummer in the corner of the stage, equally shocked: "No way! How did she get on stage with just a phone?"
Bridge was confused: "Wait, our Guan Guan can play the drums?"
Xu Chengyang wore an expression of deep sorrow as if he had been cast aside: "…Yao Ye and I have followed her for over three years and didn't even know she could do this!"
Yao Ye looked incredulously at Su Wan on stage, who appeared calm and composed: "This girl actually has hidden skills?"
Bridge: "..."
The stage lights shifted in hue, and upon receiving the cue from the lead singer Wangzai Little Radish, all the musicians of the temporary band began to play a familiar lyrical prelude.
Fu Weiheng sat in the audience, resting his elbow on the armrest of his seat, a few fingers lightly supporting his chin. He watched Su Wan calmly and skillfully playing the drums, and the initial surprise on his face gradually transformed into an ambiguous smile.
...
[Unknown, unclear, unwanted, why, my heart
Clearly wanting to get closer, yet alone until dawn
Unknown, unclear, unwanted, why, my heart
The beauty of love always exists in loneliness
Once again, I give you my best love...]
The girl's unique voice brought this song aptly titled "Tenderness" to life. The audience below seemed to be touched by the poignant lyrics, and they spontaneously joined in singing along with the melody, bringing a perfect conclusion to the evening's performance.
