The music staircase teacher quieted down.
Mr. Lin closed his eyes, as if searching for inspiration, giving the impression of a grandmaster.
Actually, he was indeed searching for inspiration, recalling when he showed off in Europe, at those private parties of European aristocratic ladies, where he played the piano and sung a Chinese song with lyrics he'd improvised in English.
Although attending that party was actually to assassinate an important person, after singing, he nearly got dragged into a room by several amorous noblewomen. Uh, let's not talk about that.
He gently eased his throat, as the Gang Qi silently surged to his vocal cords, improving the tone of his voice.
"Right, it should be slightly magnetic and with a touch of huskiness."
Everyone held their breath and watched intently, very curious about this gentleman's singing capabilities.
Ruoshuang and Wang Jingjing were also filled with anticipation.
Mr. Lin adjusted his state, found the background music online using the lecture hall's computer, returned to the stage, and slightly parted his lips. Accompanied by the soft background music, he began.
"Ten miles of foreign market, a lifetime of achievements built."
"The tide rises and falls; respectability inside and out."
"If success is at hand, why are there still promises feared to be kept?"
The audience showed expressions of surprise.
Because this singing voice was almost indistinguishable from the original.
Or perhaps, it might even be a few notches better than the original.
Some people even quietly glanced at the computer, making sure it was playing background music, and not lip-syncing.
Ruoshuang, too, was shocked, her beautiful eyes wide in disbelief.
"Brother-in-law actually has such singing talent? I've been blind, truly blind."
Wang Jingjing's bright eyes twinkled with excitement, not expecting Mr. Lin to sing so well.
"Holy sh*t, this is even better than the original singer," Wei Shengjin exclaimed in amazement.
.....
The song suddenly switched, the magnetic voice making him seem in this moment as if he'd transformed into an aura of deep vicissitudes.
"A lifetime of loyalty and valor, thin clouds spread across the sky, holding up the looming situation."
"Seen all the changes of the world, from a vast sea to mulberry fields, you are the only one I can forever miss."
At this point, Lin Hai thought of Little Scorpion.
"Adding flowers to the brocade; not as good as a simple coat in the rain, a grand feast cannot compare to a bowl of fine noodles."
In the song, Lin Hai resembled an enlightened sage who had walked through glory and then became somber, discovering the true meaning of life, exuding a temperament unbecoming of his age.
"The waves wash away changes of the sea to fields, tasted the years flowing like water."
With the final note, the background music slowly drew to an end.
"Settling the Storms, who has used whose restless life, disturbed whose years?"
Mr. Lin improvised, adding one last deep line.
Just as the background music completely stopped, and it became quiet.
Whoosh——
After a brief silence, the whole venue burst into commotion, erupting with enthusiastic applause!
"So beautiful, absolutely wonderful, Mr. Lin's singing is astonishing, comparable to a superstar!" Wang Jingjing also applauded fervently.
"Brother-in-law... Brother-in-law can actually sing? And he sings so well?"
Ruoshuang couldn't believe it and fiercely dug at her ears. The song just now almost shattered her heart; it was so unpretentious yet high-end and classy, enough to slay a whole bunch of fanatical young girls.
"Holy crap, he's a god, sh*t, I want to take him as my master!" Wei Shengjin was exceedingly excited, especially after seeing those girls he always yearned for but could never approach casting their intensely adoring gazes, which solidified his determination to worship Lin Hai as his master and learn to sing.
This time, Lin Hai really outdid himself.
At this moment, after bowing pretentiously to express his thanks, he sauntered back to his seat, blowing kisses to a few "female fans," eliciting frantic and enthusiastic calls from them.
"Mr. Lin, you really sang wonderfully." Wang Jingjing stood up.
"Hehe, just a little something I can do, please excuse my modest efforts." Lin Hai said with "humility" and a smile.
Wang Jingjing continued with the lesson.
Ruoshuang scurried over to Lin Hai and started looking him up and down with such strange eyes that it made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Little sister-in-law, can you not look at me with those eyes?" Lin Hai said helplessly.
"Brother-in-law, you're not human!"
"What the heck, why are you cursing at me?"
"No, I didn't mean that; I mean you're not... thing... I mean, how can you sing?"
Lin Hai was also speechless, coughed once, and put on airs: "Why? Can't a brother-in-law sing? If I'm singing Chinese songs, this one isn't even my best."
"Really? What are your specialties?"
"For example, 'All for the World,' 'Wind Rises in the Sky,' 'Life hangs by a thread,' and so on. There are too many to list."
"Holy moly, I want to listen, I love He Tu's songs the most." Ruoshuang's eyes glittered with excitement as if she discovered a treasure.
"Cough cough, you bully your brother-in-law like this; I think in this lifetime you'll never get to hear my golden voice again." Lin Hai seized the opportunity to threaten her.
"Brother-in-law is the best, if worst comes to worst, I'll satisfy you when I get back, don't you just love checking out my little butt?" Ruoshuang flirted with sultry eyes, unleashing her Soul-hooking Technique.
Standing by, Wei Shengjin was dumbfounded, muttering to himself: "The entertainment world is indeed chaotic."
Lin Hai suddenly felt a headache while Ruoshuang coyly covered her mouth, neglecting the fact that there was still a fat kid next to her.
"Fatty, what did you just say?" Ruoshuang angrily clenched her little fist.
Wei Shengjin immediately panicked, covering his critical parts and trembling with a pale expression, "Sister Ruoshuang, I didn't hear anything, I was just talking in my sleep just now."
"Hmph, you're quite perceptive."
"Big brother, I want to take you as my master, please teach me singing skills. I also want to sing at KTV with such flair someday, so that a crowd of girls will worship me with their adoring gaze, be charmed by me, and then go to the hotel to bang bang bang." Wei Shengjin's eyes were shining.
"Damn, beguiling people and then banging is a crime of rape, you'd go to jail."
Wei Shengjin quickly explained: "Big brother, you misunderstood, I don't want to commit a crime, I want to charm them with my singing."
"My singing has no medicinal effects." Lin Hai said again.
"I... Why do I feel like my IQ isn't quite sufficient." Wei Shengjin grew desperately more anxious, realizing that he seemed unable to explain himself clearly, inwardly cursing his incompetence at such a critical moment when his IQ was a real obstacle.
Suddenly, the door to the music lecture hall opened.
"Teacher Wang, sorry to interrupt, the leaders are here for an inspection." A middle-aged man came in.
"Hello, Principal Qian." Wang Jingjing promptly greeted.
Several rotund men in suits, smiling as if bathed in the spring breeze, walked in.
"F*CK, I knew these leaders always inspect here every time." Ruoshuang unhappily said.
"Hehe, Teacher Wang, thank you for your hard work, a good teacher of the people." A middle-aged fat man, whose hair was slicked back, took the initiative to shake Wang Jingjing's hand, and sneakily took advantage of the moment.
