As soon as Xie Li's name was called out, some students in the class gasped subconsciously. When they responded that the person calling Xie Li was Yu Rui, they let out their breath again.
- After all, "Xie Li's eccentric temperament that ignores everyone except Yu Rui" has gradually become a secret that is not a secret in Class 20 and even in the entire Dezai Middle School.
Following the sound, the students turned to look at the rearmost corner of the row by the window of the classroom.
In order to make room for the empty space in the middle of the classroom, the desks in the left and right rows of the classroom were merged together, and the rows that were originally at the back were pulled to the end one after another.
At this moment, Yu Rui's desk was next to Xie Li's desk - only Xie Li was at the table after there should have been four people.
It was rare that he hadn't slept on his stomach. After hearing Yu Rui's voice, Xie Li slowly raised his eyes.
The expressionless Jun's face was still a little languid and sleepy, but after looking at Yu Rui who was standing on the podium for a few seconds, the students saw with their own eyes that the languidness faded away.
The corners of Xie Li's mouth curled up slowly.
"What am I here?"
After Yu Rui and Xie Li looked at each other, they were already a little regretful. He almost forgot that this was a sick person. Others felt that this person would not be ashamed, and not only would he not, this person even dared to do something more terrifying than shame.
It's just that the words were out of the way, and it was hard to hold back. Yu Rui had to answer him with a smile, "Can Xie Li sing?"
Xie Li: "Not really."
Yu Rui's eyes flickered, and he wanted to take the opportunity to retreat, "If you don't, we won't be difficult for you. Is there any classmate who would like to be the first—"
"Although not quite."
Yu Rui's voice was interrupted, and the person who spoke stood up from the last row, stretching his slender waist and legs lazily.
Xie Li raised his eyes slightly, and smiled faintly at the young man on the podium with a cold smile and an estranged smile—
"Although it's not very good, since it's the monitor's request, this little thing is always done."
Yu Rui was silent.
The class was quiet for a few seconds, and when they reacted, everyone clapped the table excitedly.
Taking advantage of this messy applause, Xie Li smirked, left his seat unhurriedly, walked step by step along the open space in the center of the classroom to the bottom of the podium, and then stopped in front of Yu Rui.
Yu Rui glanced at Xie Li with a smile, and handed him the microphone—
"Don't get sick."
The microphone switch was not turned on, and only the two of them could hear the boy's bass.
Xie Li lowered his eyes and smiled, and his voice was also low and hoarse, "That's not good, squad leader. You asked me to come up. And... "
Xie Li reached out to answer the phone. He turned his back to the whole class and blocked everyone's view, and his fingertips seemed to slip slowly from the tiger's mouth on the back of the boy's hand unintentionally—
Yu Rui never thought that Xie Li would dare to be so bold in the classroom, and he let go almost subconsciously.
The microphone fell straight to the ground.
Xie Li seemed to have anticipated it long ago, so he leaned over and scooped forward with his left hand hanging by his side, hooking the microphone cable back.
The students in the class noticed this change, but they didn't know why, so they thought it was Yu Rui's mistake.
Amidst the roaring noises that hadn't stopped, Xie Li slowly straightened up, twitching the corners of his mouth with a half-smile.
"You have so many sensitive areas, squad leader."
"!"
The smile on Yu Rui's face froze, and he almost couldn't help knocking the man onto the lecture table with his head down.
Xie Li also saw that Yu Rui's tolerance value was almost close to the critical point.
If he wasn't in the classroom at the moment, he wouldn't mind teasing people to the point of blowing his hair. Anyway, any emotion Yu Rui burst out for him, whether it was happiness, anger or sadness, he just thought it was a pleasure.
But if others can see...
Xie Li smiled slightly.
Forget it.
The switch of the microphone was turned on by Xie Li, he held it up in front of him, his back to the whole class, his dark eyes stared at Yu Rui for a moment.
"Hey."
The lazy voice between a teenager and a young man is transmitted by the microphone with a low-quality sound, but it has a deep magnetic texture.
The classroom fell silent, then exploded again.
"Shit, is Xie Li's voice so nice, why don't I usually feel it??"
"I've been in the same class with him for a year, I don't even know, okay!"
"Nonsense, when did he usually talk to us? I haven't heard a word, and it seems like I haven't woken up when the teacher wakes me up occasionally. How can he talk so seriously?"
"Wuwuwu, this subwoofer is too good to hear from the microphone. I really want to hear him sing love songs!"
"Mom, thank the monitor for giving me this opportunity to control the dead voice! Shut up, I want to hear Xie Li sing, even if it's a little swallow!"
"Can you girls not get excited, what's the use of a good voice, maybe it's a tone disorder?"
"You are sour, I'm happy if someone's voice is nice and tone-deaf! Even if he sings poetry and recites it, as long as the sound is nice, it's a kind of enjoyment!"
"That's right!"
"Sing and sing! Brother Li, I want to listen to "Little Love Song"!"
"Ah, I choose "Confession Balloon"!"
"I-I-I-I'm whatever!"
"… "
Seeing that the original first warm-up song had pushed the atmosphere to a climax ahead of time, both Yu Rui and Xie Li were a little surprised.
Xie Li glanced back at the classroom, not understanding why the girls in the class suddenly became excited just because he wanted to tease Yu Rui with the word "hello".
But he didn't care, turned to Yu Rui, the microphone was still held lazily in front of him.
"What are you singing, class leader?"
Yu Rui lowered his eyes helplessly amid the noisy singing voices, "Whatever you want."
"Hey," Xie Li lowered his eyes and laughed, "I thought you wanted me to sing "Little Swallow"."
"… "
This time, before Yu Rui could speak, the class exploded again.
"Fuck this laugh... ah I'm dead."
"I, I, I, I'm sorry, Yu Xiaocao, I want to become a fan of Xie Li, woo woo, his voice is too life-threatening!"
"Xie Li, I beg you, look back!"
"Who is going to turn on the flash to blind me?"
"Boom, you're blocking the camera and get out of the way! We're taking pictures and recording videos! This voice must have a name on this year's school celebration!"
"Brother Li, be the anchor, please! It's a waste not to charge for your voice!"
"… "
Seeing that the atmosphere in the class was even higher, some students from the outer class were attracted by the screams of the girls in class 10 outside the classroom.
Yu Rui had a headache, and even more regretted his impulsive decision.
He looked at Xie Li and lowered his voice, "Sing whatever you want, let's start quickly."
"… "
In the classroom, I don't know which girl started to coax and stop them, and the voices of those messy song selections gradually converged into the same one:
"It's really a waste if this voice doesn't sing love songs, just "Waste"!"
"Seek "Waste"!"
"'Waste' sounds good, this one is fine!"
Xie Li held the microphone and looked at Yu Rui.
Yu Rui raised his hand, raised it into the air, and made a downward gesture. Fortunately, he was quite authoritative in the class, especially among girls. Although they were still excited, they gradually calmed down.
Yu Rui asked, "'Waste'?"
"That's right!"
Yu Rui looked at Xie Li who was standing under the stage, "Can you sing this?"
"Need to hear the original tune again."
The song was not chosen by Yu Rui, Xie Li didn't seem interested, but nodded anyway.
Yu Rui took out his mobile phone and the white headphone cable that was rolled up in a circle, and handed it to Xie Li, "You listen first, I'll find the accompaniment for you."
"Um."
When Yu Rui opened the computer's own music software from the multimedia device and searched for the accompaniment of "Waste", Xie Li also took off his headphones.
He returned the phone and earphones to Yu Rui.
Yu Rui asked, "Is it alright?"
Xie Li stared at him and raised the microphone, "Don't blame me for singing badly."
Yu Rui opened his mouth to speak.
The girls in the audience had already shouted out instead of him: "No wonder, no wonder! Sing Li Ge!"
"… "
Xie Li frowned slightly and looked back at the classroom. After a few seconds of pause, he withdrew his gaze and looked back at Yu Rui.
"Let it go."
When Yu Rui rarely saw that Xie Li was helpless, he couldn't help but tick the corner of his mouth. He dragged the mouse with his right hand, then tapped the left button.
The prelude sounded.
"I haven't changed in a long time/I love you for six years/You better be ready/I'm not going to stop everything..."
If Xie Li still shouted before he opened his mouth, then after his first sentence was sung, the class all held their breaths in unison.
He slowly sang the lyrics of "Waste" in a low voice, and even Yu Rui on the podium looked at Xie Li in surprise.
He was the first person in the class to know that Xie Li's voice was nice - that person had used that foul voice too many times to talk beside him or even closer, regardless of distance or time.
But even so, when Xie Li opened his voice, he was still amazed.
I don't know if he noticed Yu Rui's gaze, but Xie Liruo, who was drooping his eyes lazily, noticed something. After a two-second pause, he turned slightly sideways and glanced at Yu Rui, while the singing continued—
"It's okay, you don't have to give me a chance/I still have a lifetime to waste/I just have a little bit of stubbornness left/It can be called my advantage/…"
In the middle of this whole stanza, Xie Li seemed to be tired. He turned around completely, turned his back to the class, leaned lazily on the desk, and lowered his head.
The girls looked at his back regretfully, and no one noticed Yu Rui's uneasy expression.
- As the only one facing Xie Li, only Yu Rui could see it. In every lyric that started after that, Xie Li's eyes never left his eyes.
Those eyes were dark and gloomy, with a faint hint of a bottomless smile. Seeing that Yu Rui instinctively wanted to avoid his gaze.
Until the man lowered his eyes, the low voice slowly ended:
"...Even if I spend another ten years with you, it doesn't matter."
The end of the sound was stopped, and Xie Li's hand holding the microphone was flat on the lecture table.
In the dead silent classroom, I finally regained my senses—
"Ah, I haven't finished singing, this is only half of the song!"
"Brother Li, please sing another song, please!"
"Yeah yeah, let's sing another song!"
"It's okay to finish this song!"
"… "
The whole class was boiling, and Dayou rushed up and pressed the microphone to Xie Li's mouth, forcing him to play another song.
Even outside the classroom, a small group of students from outside the class gathered at some point, whispering and excitedly discussing something outside.
Yu Rui had already gone to turn off the music, but hesitantly stopped before the high-pitched voices of the whole class. He raised his eyes to look at Xie Li, and asked in a low voice, "You... do you still want to sing?"
"Where's the squad leader?" Xie Li curled his lips, "Do you still want to hear it?"
"… "
Yu Rui's eyes were startled, and he raised his eyes subconsciously.
Fortunately, there was a lot of noise in the classroom at the moment, and the microphone was put down by Xie Li again, and no one could hear what Xie Li just said.
Yu Rui breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his eyes, "Whatever you want, forget it if you don't want to sing."
"I sang for you, do you really want to be so indifferent?" Xie Li asked.
Yu Rui's eyes flickered mockingly, "Have we known each other for 'six years'?"
Xie Li paused, "The songs they ordered."
"That's not for me, don't take the blame." Yu Rui lowered his eyes and reached for the microphone in Xie Li's hand.
Just about to touch it, the microphone was suddenly taken away.
Yu Rui was startled and raised his eyes.
I saw Xie Li pick up the microphone again, still lying on the desk, with his back to the whole class, and only looking at Yu Rui.
"The last one, I choose it myself."
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-"
Excited voices rose from the classroom behind him.
Yu Rui's scalp was a little numb.
Only from Xie Li's very "sick" eyes at the moment, he could read it, and he accidentally poked at this perverted flashpoint.
He now regrets it very much.
But it was too late.
Xie Li didn't even give Yu Rui any leeway to stop him. He stepped onto the podium with his long legs, then came to Yu Rui's side, bent down to reopen the music software, and switched to English input mode.
The slender knuckles rose and fell quickly on the keyboard, and a string of English words was typed into the search bar.
The students under the stage were staring at the projection screen, and they were all dumbfounded.
"What song is this? I don't seem to have heard it before?"
"Superpsycholove? What is it?"
"Has anyone heard of it?"
"I don't even know the word in the middle."
"Brother Li, what song is this?"
"… "
On the stage, Xie Li straightened up, and when he heard the last question asked, the corner of his mouth twitched, "My English is not good, you have to ask the monitor."
He turned the microphone and held it up in front of the boy beside him.
Xie Li supported the desk with one hand, leaned over and teased the teenager beside him with a half-smile.
"Squad leader, how do you translate the title of this song?"
"… "
Yu Rui laughed stiffly, his voice fluctuated with imperceptible undulations: ""super psycho love"."
Xie Li repeated patiently, with dark eyes in his eyes: "I'll ask, translate."
Yu Rui clenched his hands slightly, his Adam's apple rolled down, and his eyes were drawn away—
"Extremely morbid love."
