Chapter 376: Are You Commoner?
Standing on the stage, Ma Xiaoshuai was initially nervous and lacked confidence. However, as Chen Fan joined in, their voices echoed throughout the venue. Ma Xiaoshuai secretly glanced at the audience below.
He saw that all the spectators were focused on listening to their singing.
At that moment, he forgot about his nervousness.
He became more confident.
Raising his head, he actively made eye contact with Chen Fan, and they exchanged a smile.
"The great wind has come
We drift with the wind
Forgetting our pure faces in the dust
This life is so cold
This body crosses the ocean
Lightly describing the long time, singing vaguely
The great wind has come
We drift with the wind
Clear eyes extinguished in the dust
I want to look back
To tell the story from the beginning
Time is late and doesn't return, life will never come again..."
Finally, as the last line of the duet ended, the venue paused for a second, then erupted into cheers and thunderous applause.
Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai bowed to the audience and turned to walk off the stage.
At this moment, many people in the venue were still immersed in the song, unable to snap out of it.
"What song is this? I've never heard it before..."
"I've never heard it either. Could they have written it themselves?"
"That's impossible. But this song is really good. The melody is especially beautiful."
"Hehe, I like the lyrics of this song..."
Everyone was whispering and discussing.
Of course, some girls were also quietly gossiping about Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai, asking which department they were from, if they had girlfriends, and so on.
It seemed that this performance had earned both of them a wave of admiration.
Back at the backstage, before Chen Fan could wash his face, he saw Su Ruochu standing breathlessly not far away, her little face flushed.
It seemed that as soon as they finished performing, Su Ruochu had rushed over.
Under Ma Xiaoshuai's teasing gaze, Chen Fan walked over with a smile.
"Why aren't you watching the show properly and instead running backstage?"
Su Ruochu said playfully, "I've already seen the performance I wanted to see."
Chen Fan chuckled, "How was it? Did we sing well?"
"Very good."
Chen Fan teased with a smile, "Which is better, the song or the singers?"
Su Ruochu stared at Chen Fan with a grin, "Both the song and the singers are good."
"I really like this song. Where did you find it? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Chen Fan smiled mysteriously, "It's a secret."
Su Ruochu pouted, "Hmph."
Chen Fan pinched her upturned nose.
"It's a secret for now, keeping the suspense. I'll give you a surprise later."
"Hmph." Su Ruochu snorted lightly again, but didn't pursue the question further.
"I want to hear it again. You have to play it for me privately in the future."
"No problem. In the future, as long as you like it, I'll play it for you every day."
"That's more like it."
...
This 70th anniversary school celebration gala was very successful. The day after the gala ended, a student organized a voting activity on the school's internal forum.
It asked everyone to vote for their favorite and most impressive performance from the gala.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai's performance ranked in the top three with high votes.
The top two most-voted performances were dance routines by long-legged beauties.
For two guys to be voted into third place...
This showed that the song they sang indeed left a deep impression on many students.
Later, someone asked in the comments if anyone knew who originally sang this song.
Why had no one ever heard it before?
This topic immediately attracted many students who felt the same way and started digging deeper.
Soon, someone found the audio of 《The Years Of Innocence》 online.
"Commoner! It's actually sung by Commoner."
"Commoner has released a new song, and I didn't know about it."
"Look at the release date of this song, it was just a few days before the gala. It seems they must have seen the audio of this song and decided to perform it."
"If this song was written by Commoner, then it's not surprising. You know, this person is the most mysterious big shot in the entire music industry. Almost every song he writes becomes a hit."
Soon after listening to the online audio, a netizen raised a question.
Why did the version sung by the two seniors at the gala sound so similar to Commoner's version?
Also, this time Commoner's performance wasn't solo, but a duet.
Who was the other singer?
Soon, everyone started discussing this topic heatedly.
"Commoner never announced that it was just one person, right? Maybe it's a group."
"I think so too, otherwise how could one person write so many good songs."
"Hey, come to think of it, the version sung by the two seniors really does sound like Commoner's version."
"Most importantly, the voices are very similar."
"Damn, the audio quality is too poor, it's all crackly, feels like it was recorded live with a tape recorder... Not like it was recorded in a studio at all..."
"The one above, please read carefully, it says below that this is a demo of the song, the official version will be released later."
"The voices really do sound similar."
"Could Commoner be these two senior brothers?"
"The one above, I really envy your imagination."
"If they had such strong creative abilities, why didn't they apply to the Music Academy instead of going to the School of Economics and Management?"
"Hey. What do you mean above? Can't our School of Economics and Management produce a singing genius?"
"..."
"Maybe they listened to this version and deliberately imitated it."
"Maybe the audio distortion makes you think it sounds very similar..."
"They definitely can't be Commoner. If it's true, I'll eat shit while doing a handstand..."
While the discussion on the forum was in full swing, Su Ruochu also heard about this at the library that day.
She immediately got up and ran to the electronic reading room next door, where she found her roommate chatting with strangers on QQ.
She borrowed her computer to search for 《The Years Of Innocence》 online, and sure enough, she quickly found the audio.
Su Ruochu put on the headphones.
As the music started playing, when the first lyrics came out, Su Ruochu's eyes slightly changed.
She knew Chen Fan's voice too well.
Others might doubt, but Su Ruochu never doubted Chen Fan's abilities.
Because Chen Fan had once created a song for her called 《Missing You》.
Almost as soon as the first lyric came out, she could be certain.
This was Chen Fan's voice.
The other one was obviously Ma Xiaoshuai.
But why was the singer listed as Commoner for this song?
Su Ruochu knew about the singer Commoner and knew that he had previously created several popular good songs.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in Su Ruochu's mind.
She suddenly thought of a possibility?
No way?
Thinking back to Chen Fan's mysterious behavior backstage on the day of the gala.
Su Ruochu was almost certain.
Chen Fan was the online singer: Commoner.
Thinking of this, Su Ruochu became a bit impatient. She returned the headphones to her roommate, then ran out of the electronic reading room alone. While waiting for the elevator to go downstairs, she took out her phone and sent a text message to Chen Fan.
"I know your secret now..."
