As soon as Xie Li’s name was called out, some students unconsciously gasped. When they saw that the person calling Xie Li was Yu Rui, they breathed again.
After all, the fact “Xie Li’s eccentric temperament of ignoring everyone except Yu Rui” had gradually become a non-secret secret in Class 10, and even in the entire D High School.
The students turned to face the far corner of the back row by the classroom window.
To make room in the middle of the classroom, the tables on the left and right had been pushed together, and the rows in the back moved to the back wall.
Yu Rui’s table was next to Xie Li’s at the moment; at the tables that should be for four people, there was only Xie Li.
It was strange that he wasn’t sleeping. After hearing Yu Rui’s voice, Xie Li slowly lifted his eyelids.
His attractive, expressionless face still wore a sleepy and lazy expression, but after looking at Yu Rui, who was standing on the podium, the students saw with their own eyes how the drowsiness faded away.
The corners of Xie Li’s mouth curved up.
“Yes?”
After their gazes met, Yu Rui regretted it. He almost forgot that he was dealing with a sick person who would not be embarrassed like the others. And not only would he not be ashamed, but he would also dare to do worse than lose face.
But the words had already been spoken, and it was difficult to take them back, so Yu Rui could only reply to him with a smile, “Comrade Xie Li can sing?”
Xie Li, “No.”
Yu Rui’s eyes trembled, he wanted to take the opportunity to take back what was said, “If you don’t know, we won’t make it difficult for you. Is there any comrade who bets to be-”
“Not at all.”
Yu Rui’s voice was interrupted as the person who spoke stood up from his seat, lazily stretching his long legs.
Xie Li lifted his eyelids slightly and smiled at the cold-eyed young man with a distant smile standing at the podium.
“Although I’m not very good at it, since it’s the Class President who asked me to do it, this little thing can be done.”
Yu Rui fell silent.
The class remained silent for a few seconds and when they reacted to Xie Li’s words, they burst into enthusiastic applause.
Taking advantage of this loud applause, Xie Li smiled and leisurely left his seat. He walked step by step through the space in the center of the class to the bottom of the podium, stopping in front of Yu Rui.
Yu Rui looked at Xie Li with a smile and handed him the microphone.
“Don’t get sick.”
The microphone switch was not turned on, and only Xie Li could hear the other party.
Xie Li smiled, in a low, husky voice, “That won’t be possible, Class President. You asked me to come.”
Xie Li took the microphone. He turned his back to the class, blocked everyone’s view, and his fingertips seemed to slowly glide across the back of the teenager’s hand.
Yu Rui never thought Xie Li would dare to be so bold in the classroom, and almost subconsciously pulled his hand back while releasing his grip.
The microphone started its journey to the floor.
Xie Li seemed to have anticipated it happening and bent down with his left hand dangling to the side, snagging the microphone cable.
The students in the class noticed this change but did not know why, so they thought it was Yu Rui’s mistake.
Amidst all the noise, Xie Li slowly straightened up with a smile on his lips.
“You’re so sensitive… in so many areas, Class President.”
“!!”
The smile on Yu Rui’s face froze, he almost couldn’t resist smacking the man’s head against the podium.
Xie Li could also see that Yu Rui’s patience level was at its limit. If they weren’t in the classroom right now, he wouldn’t mind annoying the person to the point that his fur would bristle. Anyway, whatever emotion Yu Rui had by himself, whether it was happiness, anger, or sadness, he would have enjoyed it.
But if others could see it too…
Xie Li’s smile faded.
It’s better to let it go.
Xie Li turned on the microphone switch still with his back to the rest, his dark eyes fixed on Yu Rui for a moment.

“Nonsense, when has he ever talked to us? I haven’t heard a word from him, and he looks sleepy when the teacher reprimands him from time to time. When has he ever spoken?”
“Wuuwuuwuuwuu! This voice is too good to hear just from the microphone. I want to hear him sing love songs!”
“Damn it, thank you Class President for giving Xie Li this opportunity! Shut up, I want to hear Xie Li sing, even if it’s just a little bit of Little Swallow!”
“Can you guys calm down, what’s the use of having a good voice? Maybe he doesn’t sing well.”
“You’re bitter. I like him even if he doesn’t sing well! Even if he reads poetry, as long as the voice is nice, you can enjoy it!”
“That ‘s right!”
“Sing, sing! Brother Li, I want to hear Little Love Song!”

“Ah, ah, I choose Confession Balloons!”

“I-I whatever!”
Both Yu Rui and Xie Li were surprised when they saw that by the opening warm-up song, the atmosphere was very lively even before it was sung.
Xie Li looked at the class without understanding why the girls suddenly got excited just because he wanted to tease Yu Rui with the word “hello”. He ignored the noise and turned to Yu Rui with the microphone still lazily held.
“What song do you want, Class President?”
Yu Rui lowered his eyelids helplessly amidst the noisy voices, “Whatever you want.”
“Hey.” Xie Li laughed, “I thought you wanted me to sing Little Swallow.”
“…”
This time, before Yu Rui could speak, the class exploded again.
“Shit, that laugh… ah, I’m dead!”
“I-I’m sorry, Master Yu, I’ve become Xie Li’s fan. Wuuwuu, his voice is too dangerous for life!”
“Xie Li, I beg you, look back!”
“Who blinded me with the flash?”
“Get out of the way, you’re blocking! We’re taking pictures and recording videos! This voice must have a name at this year’s School Festival!”
“Brother Li, be an announcer, please! It’s a waste not to be paid for that voice!”
Seeing that the atmosphere in the classroom was lively, some students from other classes were attracted by the shouting of the Class 10 girls.
Yu Rui’s head hurt, regretting his impulsive decision even more. He glanced at Xie Li.
“Sing whatever you want.”
In the classroom, a girl began to urge them to calm down, and the loud voices shouting random songs gradually converged.
“This voice is wasted not singing love songs, why don’t we do Unrequited?”
“Unrequited!”
“Unrequited sounds good, this will do!”
(https///www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTzy8NF3BDo)
Xie Li looked at Yu Rui.
Yu Rui raised his hand, raised it in the air, and gestured downwards; fortunately, he had quite a lot of authority in the class, especially among the girls. Although they were still excited, they gradually calmed down.
Yu Rui asked, “Unrequited?”
“Yes!”
Yu Rui looked at Xie Li who was standing in front of the podium, “Can you sing this one?”
“I need to listen to it first.”
The song wasn’t chosen by Yu Rui, and Xie Li didn’t seem interested but nodded anyway.
Yu Rui took out his cell phone with the white earphones rolled up, and handed it to Xie Li, “Listen to it first, then I’ll look for the melody for you.”
“Hmm.”
When Yu Rui turned on the computer and searched for the accompaniment of Unrequited, Xie Li took off the headphones, handing them back to Yu Rui.
Yu Rui asked, “Ready?”
Xie Li glanced at him and raised the microphone, “Don’t blame me for singing badly.”
Yu Rui opened his mouth to speak.
The girls had already started shouting, “We won’t blame you, we won’t blame you, sing Li Ge!”
Xie Li frowned slightly and looked at them. After a few seconds, he withdrew his gaze and looked back at Yu Rui.
“Play it.”
It was rare for Yu Rui to see Xie Li have a moment of helplessness, and he couldn’t help the corners of his mouth curling up slightly. He dragged the mouse with his right hand and then pressed the left button.
The prelude sounded.
“In all this time, I haven’t changed – this business of loving you has lasted six whole years – you’d better get ready – I have no intention of stopping…”
If there was shouting before Xie Li sang, the class was already holding their breath after singing the first line.
Even Yu Rui, on the podium, looked at Xie Li with some surprise as his deep voice slowly sang the lyrics of Unrequited.
He was the first in the class to know that Xie Li’s voice was pleasant: that person had used that unpleasant voice too many times to talk to him regardless of distance or location.
But even so, when Xie Li sang, he still felt surprised.
Yu Rui didn’t notice his gaze, but Xie Li, whose eyes had been lazily narrowed, noticed it. After a few seconds of pause, he turned slightly sideways and looked at Yu Rui, as he continued.
“Never mind, you don’t have to give me a chance – I’ve got a whole life to waste anyway – I’ve only got a little stubbornness left – I guess you can say that’s one of my strengths…”
In the middle of this whole stanza, Xie Li looked tired, turned completely around, his back to the class, and leaned lazily on the podium table with his head cocked to one side.
The girls looked at his back with pity, and no one noticed Yu Rui’s restless expression.
Yu Rui, being the only one facing Xie Li, could see his expression. Xie Li’s eyes did not leave his eyes in the whole stanza.
Those eyes were dark and gloomy, with a faint hint of a hidden smile, which made Yu Rui instinctively want to avoid that look.
Until Xie Li lowered his gaze, and his deep voice slowly finished the song.
“…Even if I had to spend another ten years with you, I don’t mind.”
When he finished, Xie Li rested the hand holding the microphone on the podium table.
The class was silent for a few seconds after the end of the song, then bursting into applause.
“Ahhhh! The song isn’t over, it’s only been half over!”
“Brother Li, sing another song, please!”
“Yes, yes, another one!”
“Why don’t you finish this song!”
The whole class was in an uproar, they rushed to put the microphone in Xie Li’s mouth, forcing him to sing another song.
Even outside the classroom, a small group of students had gathered at some point, whispering and arguing excitedly about something.
Yu Rui had already gone to turn off the player but hesitantly stopped at the high-pitched voices of the entire class. He looked at Xie Li and asked quietly, “You…. still want to sing?”
“What about the Class President?” Xie Li smiled, “Do you still want to listen to me?”
“…”
Yu Rui’s eyes trembled and he looked up unconsciously.
Fortunately, there was a lot of noise in the class at this time, and Xie Li had turned off the microphone, so no one could hear what Xie Li had just said.
Yu Rui sighed in relief and looked down, “Whatever you want, don’t do it if you don’t want to.”
“I sang for you, do you have to be so indifferent?” Xie Li asked.
Yu Rui sneered, “We’ve known each other for six years?”
Xie Li, “The song they requested.”
“Then it wasn’t sung for me, don’t blame me.” Yu Rui went to take the microphone from Xie Li’s hand.
Just before he was about to touch it, the microphone was pulled away.
Yu Rui was startled.
He saw Xie Li take the microphone again, still leaning on the podium table, his back to the class and only looking at Yu Rui.
“The last song is my pick.”
“Ahhh! Sing, sing!”
Excited voices rose again throughout the class.
Yu Rui’s scalp was a little numb.
Just from Xie Li’s very “sick” look at this moment, he could read that he had accidentally pricked this pervert’s breaking point.
Now, he regrets it very much.
However, it was already too late.
Xie Li didn’t even give Yu Rui any leeway to stop him. He stepped onto the podium with his long legs, walked up to Yu Rui, leaned over to reopen the player, and switched to English input mode.
The slender knuckles rose and fell rapidly over the keyboard, and a series of English words were typed into the search bar.
The students under the podium stared at the projection screen and were shocked.
“What song is this, you don’t seem to have heard it before?”
“Super Psycho Love? 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, the corner of his mouth curved, “My English is not good, you have to ask the Class President.”
He pointed the microphone at Yu Rui beside him.
Xie Li leaned over the podium table and teased the teenager beside him with a half smile, “Class President, what does the title of this song mean?”
Yu Rui’s smile tightened, and his voice fluctuated slightly, “Super Psycho Love.”
Xie Li repeated patiently, dark eyes in his eyes, “I asked for the meaning.”
Yu Rui tightly clenched his hands. Adam’s apple rolled and he averted his gaze…
“An extremely crazy love.”*
