Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Singing at the wedding, this situation can be waited for!After chatting with Lin Yang, the parents were on both sides. I know he still enjoys conversing with young people. The sensible ones exit. After departing, the bridesmaid at the same table finally got her chance. She hurriedly approached him and asked, “Good-looking guy, what are you up to? Why are you following such a formal procedure? Tell me honestly, are you Qin Xue’s ex-boyfriend?”

Observing a few bridesmaids chatting incessantly, Lin Yang grinned, “I’m here to play pretend. Do you buy it?” Clearly, they weren’t buying it!

By this point, the wedding had entered the second half. The host took the stage, and guests were invited to engage in interactive activities, bringing laughter to the scene. At that moment, Lin Yang’s phone rang unexpectedly. Soon, the call was connected.

“Hey, good-looking guy, did you enjoy the feast?” When Lin Yang heard the voice, he immediately guessed who it was. “Thanks to you, it’s not bad! The wedding hasn’t ended yet, right? I’m calling to ask for a favour!”

“No, spill it. I’ll treat you to a meal for 2,000 yuan without any conditions. I feel awkward earning this money.” The man on the phone chuckled, but Lin Yang could sense an underlying unhappiness.

In fact, he had already deduced something but chose not to expose it. “Can you sing? Can you sing a song for me to dedicate to the bride?” Lin Yang smiled softly, “What are you singing? Cursing her or giving good wishes?” Hearing this, the other end of the phone paused for a few seconds. After a while, the man sighed, “Looks like you figured it out!

She was my ex-girlfriend! When I was struggling, she stood by me through thick and thin. Unfortunately, due to my selfishness, we separated. I always thought that when I’m successful, I’ll return to her and give her a happy life. Unfortunately, I came back too late. She’s about to become someone else’s bride. The least I can do is ensure she marries smoothly without showing up. Can you sing a song for her in your name? Thank you!”

Listening to his heartfelt admission, Lin Yang also sighed. “Okay, I promised you I’d make their family proud. It’s just singing a song, and I’ll help you fulfil your wish. Thank you, thank you!”

The venue was bustling with noise. Netizens in the live broadcast room couldn’t hear the man’s voice clearly. However, based on Lin Yang’s words, they could likely make an educated guess about what was happening.

[No way, Lin Yang is going to sing in a while? Fuck, is it so exciting? Any extras to watch? Guess everyone, will he sing out of tune?].[I don’t believe that a person is so good at driving and singing so well. Could it be that he grew up eating so much? I blocked him for being tone-deaf!].[Did you find out the person who asked Lin Yang for help before, judging from their tone, is most likely an ex-boyfriend? Is it so bloody? Ex-boyfriend looking for someone to marry? There are also 18,000 red envelopes!].[Driving without a license for so many years, the gift money of 18,000 is really not expensive.].[What’s the matter, when I got married, my wife’s ex-boyfriend came to accompany the gift, 3,000 per person, and I received more than 60,000. There are more than relatives and friends. This is what is taken, and the villagers are very envious.].

….

After ending the call, Lin Yang accessed the system in his mind, surprised that the singing skills acquired from yesterday’s lottery draw could be used so soon. Singing had never let him down, even if it wasn’t as professional as before. With the added blessing of systematic skills, he felt absolute confidence.

The challenge now was deciding what to sing. Knowing the groom’s deep affection for the bride, Lin Yang understood the moment’s gravity. It wasn’t the time for playful or mocking songs. Hits like “It’s a Pity It’s Not You,” “I Hope People Will Last Forever,” “Break Up with Good Intentions,” or “You Are Not Really Happy” wouldn’t fit the occasion.

The groom’s sincere desire for the bride’s happiness ruled out deliberate troublemaking. Instead, songs like “Please Be Happier than Me,” “The Song Ends,” and “For You” seemed more appropriate, given their perspective from the ex-boyfriend. However, the first two might be too obvious and potentially influence the bride negatively.

Ultimately, Lin Yang decided against “For You” as well. While it carried blessings, it wasn’t from the ex-boyfriend’s perspective. After careful consideration, he chose an English song – “Right Here Waiting.” An old but timeless classic, the song was created when the author, on tour and separated from his wife for three months, channelled his deep longing and melancholy into a beautiful piece completed in just 20 minutes. Over time, it became a song to comfort and wish peace to parted loved ones.

In its essence, it’s ideal for conveying your ex-boyfriend’s emotions. Plus, being in English added an element of mystery for everyone else. The key was you wanted to sing well, and having accompaniment was crucial. Blue Star didn’t offer this song – no background music whatsoever. Luckily, the main theme involved the piano, and someone nearby could conveniently play it. They just needed to transcribe the piano score and have her play it. As for the guitar, he could handle that himself. After making up his mind, Lin Yang strides to the stage, requests paper from the staff, jots down the score, and hands it to the piano player.

“Can you play this?” He asked.

She examined the messy score but nodded confidently, “No problem!”

“Great!” Lin Yang acquires another guitar and steps onto the stage, leaving the bewildered host.

“Is it you, the handsome guy?” The host stammers. Lin Yang smiles, microphone in hand, “Next, I’ll sing a song for everyone, wishing the bride and groom a happy wedding!”

Applause erupted and whistles from the young crowd. Lin Yang’s sudden presence elevated the wedding atmosphere. The toasting couple turned in surprise. Who would’ve thought it was Lin Yang!

A popular anchor singing at their wedding – a joyful surprise! Lin Yang, seated with a guitar, nodded at the pianist. A beautiful piano preluded ensues, calming the once-noisy scene. Only children playing and some drinkers disrupt the newfound hush. Ten seconds later, the piano prelude concluded. Lin Yang spoke, bringing everyone’s anticipation to life.
