He waved at the beautiful hostess serving nearby. As a professional emcee, she was always waiting in the wings, attentive to Li Yuan’s every need. Seeing him wave, she immediately walked over briskly and asked respectfully, "Director Li, you called for me?"
Li Yuan nodded and explained the situation. "It’s about time. At exactly 11:30 PM, we’ll start the final segment."
"Also, has the thing I asked for been brought over?"
"Rest assured, Director Li. Everything is prepared."
"Good. Go get ready."
After the hostess left, Li Yuan took Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue by the hand, one on each side, and said with a laugh, "Just a little longer. The final segment is about to begin."
He then turned to Bai Weixi and smiled. "Bai, I’ve got some ideas for that song I wrote especially for you. I’ll sing it for you now."
"However, I’ve had a bit to drink today, so don’t mind me if it doesn’t sound perfect. I’m not fully prepared, and some of the lyrics still need polishing..."
The previous songs he had sung for Jiang Zhiyu and Zhong Tingyue were prepared in advance while he was sober. Tonight, however, he had drunk quite a lot himself to keep his two girlfriends company. As the guest of honor, he also had to toast with other classmates like Xu Zhi, Wang Shuai, Ding Shanshan, and Wang Yuchen.
Bai Weixi had already given up hope for the night, but now, a glimmer of it suddenly returned. Her tipsy mind instantly cleared, the drunken haze vanishing completely. Her large, mesmerizing eyes blinked as she stared at Li Yuan, clinging to his arm coquettishly.
"Yuan, I want to hear it now!"
Li Yuan smiled faintly. "Alright, you just wait!"
With that, he stood up, walked over to the hostess, and took a guitar from her hands. Besides drinking with Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue, he had also been waiting for the hotel to deliver this guitar.
Holding the instrument, Li Yuan waited for Xu Zhi and Wang Yuchen to finish their heartfelt love song before walking onto the stage alone.
When the crowd saw Li Yuan take the stage, they all stopped what they were doing. Their eyes lit up as they stared at him, murmuring amongst themselves.
Wow, Li Yuan’s on stage with a guitar! Is he going to sing for us again tonight?
Of course! He has to treat everyone fairly. Weixi’s already performed, and since it’s her birthday, Li Yuan has to sing a song for her as her boyfriend.
Hehe, I wonder what song he’ll sing. I’m a loyal fan. Let me count... what songs has Li Yuan written for his girlfriends on different occasions? "Nanshan South," "Love Confession Balloon," "Natural Beauty," "Just Met You," "Anhe Bridge," "Once is enough"... Wow, you don’t realize until you count them. My idol is amazing! It hasn’t been that long since school started, and he’s already written so many great songs...
I love "Love Confession Balloon." It would be perfect for this occasion... oh, wait, maybe not entirely appropriate!
Amidst the girls’ chatter, Li Yuan plucked the guitar strings to test the tuning and spoke with a smile.
"Tonight, thank you all for coming to our classmate Bai’s birthday party. I’d like to ask, did everyone eat well and have a good time?"
"AWOOOO! Yes, we had a great time!" Wang Shuai let out a loud whistle and cheered.
Xu Zhi also hyped up the crowd. "Yuan, we’re having a blast! We’ve all been waiting for you. Hurry up and sing us a song, and we’ll be even happier!"
"Ladies, am I right?"
"Yes, yes! Sing it already!"
Ding Shanshan, Wang Lisha, Zhou Lei, and the other girls joined the enthusiastic cheers. Nearly all of them were holding up phones or digital cameras, pointed at Li Yuan, ready to record the entire scene. In reality, besides them, the hotel’s professional photographer was already documenting everything with a high-definition camera, much like filming a wedding ceremony.
Bai Weixi stood right at the front, eagerly awaiting the song Li Yuan had written just for her.
Seeing his classmates’ enthusiasm, Li Yuan cleared his throat.
"This song was written especially for Bai today. I hope that for the rest of my life, I’ll always have you."
"I dedicate this song, ’The Rest of My Life,’ to all of you. I hope you like it."
Li Yuan began to strum the guitar and slowly sang:
*In a place with no wind, I’ll be your sun,*
*In a place where you are cold, I’ll be your warmth;*
*Life is a whirlwind, and you are always so pure;*
*For the rest of my life, all I want is you;*
*For the rest of my life, you are the wind and snow, you are the simple days, you are poverty, too...*
*I want to show you the clear, boundless sky,*
*I want to shout aloud that I’m captivated by you...*
*You are the tenderness in my heart,*
*And wherever my gaze lands, there you are...*
Hearing "The Rest of My Life," the audience erupted, with nearly everyone clapping nonstop. The song had a beautiful melody and simple lyrics; every single line was pleasing to the ear.
Wow, someone hold me, I think I’m falling in love! Li Yuan is a true musical genius. He sang "The Rest of My Life" so beautifully. How does he do it?
So this is the love between Yuan and Bai? It’s so deep. And this song is truly beautiful. It’s making me cry.
Shanshan, honestly, I used to really dislike Li Yuan. Even though he’s talented, he was just a two-timing jerk. But after hearing him sing this song, I suddenly understand why Weixi and Tingyue made their choices. What girl wouldn’t fall for a guy like that?
