The planner could only reply to the WeChat first. He pressed the record button to record his voice, “Then let Gu Pan take her position and cancel Jia Qi. One less female anchor on stage.”
Just as he finished speaking, Guan He who was sitting in front of him, looked back and said, “What happened?”
The planner immediately slapped himself in his heart, shouldn’t have gotten used to this kind of speech! When he first came to Blue Whale, he has always done things in a vigorous and resolute manner. He cut off several high-ranking executives who love to hook up with female anchors. Moreover, he only held a meeting the day before and had them roll and leave the next day. The planner is afraid of his own bad luck. “A female anchor just said that she couldn’t go on stage temporarily. We had no choice but to cancel her activities. It’s a pity that she wasn’t much worse than Yaoyao in popularity……”
The chief planner of the movement of this big anchor should have been improved all the way and the planner himself is actually paddling. Guan He ignored the careful consideration of the planner. “How many anchors were originally there to sing?”
“Four, without her there are three left. Gu Pan had already taken her top position.
Guan He seemed to be thinking about something. The planner was frightened, and Guan He asked, “There are only four female anchors who can sing?”
Planner: “The others are not very popular.”
Guan He frowned and the planner’s heart felt cold. His heart was finished, finished, finished; what’s all this crap.
Guan He: “Find a male anchor who can sing to fill the position.”
Planner: “…… Ah?”

When Xie Wenxing received a notice, he was still a little bit in disbelief, but the little sister assistant in charge of him spoke as fast as a computer. “Think about what you want to sing, two more people will come on stage in a few minutes. Do you want an accompaniment or bring your own instrument? There’s a guitar at the backstage and Hanon……”*

Time next to Xie Wenxing can’t stand it anymore, “Sister, speak slowly. Xiao Xie can’t digest the news for a moment. He has a higher appearance rate than us, he’s scared.”
Xie Wenxing laughed and scolded, “I’m not a hero, you still have an appearance rate.”
Time looked at him cheerfully, “You are the only one who sings well among male anchors. You should do everyone a favor and casually go up and sing a little love song to save the show."
Time’s words suddenly knocked a certain nerve in Xie Wenxing’s brain. He looked at the little sister assistant, and his tone unconsciously carried some emotion that he was unaware of. “Who asked me to go up?”
The assistant was stunned, “It seems to be the planner.”
Xie Wenxing: “It seems?”
Assistant: “It should be, I listened to the planner’s request.”
Oh, I made a fool of myself again.*
*the meaning behind this sentence is actually: to imagine that one's love is reciprocated; to shower affection on an uninterested party. Had a hard time phrasing.
Xie Wenxing stood up and said: “Go backstage, I want a guitar.”

“For the last song, the guest performer is a bit special oh.” The female host’s crosstalk smiled and winked playfully, “The first three songs are brought by female anchors, the singer of this song is a male anchor.”
There was a vague commotion at the scene.
“He is also singing an English song that I really like. Everyone welcome, ‘As Long as You Love Me’ by Touch God!”
The bright lights moved down and the figure in the smoke became clearer. Xie Wenxing sat on a chair, plucked the guitar in his hand, and the light intro poured out from his fingertips.
“As long as you love me.”
......
“Hey now, you know girl
We both know it’s a cruel world
But I will take my chances
As long as you love me
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I’ll be your platinum, I’ll be your silver, I’ll be your gold
As long as you lo lo lo lo love me…….”
“I didn’t expect him to sing so well.” The planner under the stage listened to the sound echoing in the hall, watching the reaction of the live audience. The planner smiled, “or you have the insight and came up with such a temporary solution. Have you heard him sing live before?”
*you: polite/formal way
He originally wanted to flatter Guan He but the latter did not respond to him at all so the planner turned his head to look. The big boss is looking at the stage with uncertain eyes.
Of course, Guan He had heard Xie Wenxing sing live; that was the first time they met and at that time, Xie Wenxing also sang this song.
That year, Guan He was a sophomore in high school in the summer.
Just after the monthly exams, the evening self-study teachers were checking the test papers and some boys who were in a good mood patted Guan He’s table.
“Boss He, not going to see some sisters?”
“Today is the junior high school arts festival. They are going to dance Korean dance, showing their waist and thighs which is very hot.”
The person next to him interjected, “Why is it so vulgar ah. Do you think Guan He likes to look at thighs just like you?”
“No, the sisters are good-looking ah.” The boy replied, “There is a sister with big breasts and a thin waist, she is also tall; she’s simply Snow White.”
Guan He was also idle so he went with them to see Snow White.
They originally arrived late and could only sit in a slightly worse position. They did not expect to see Guan He; a few girls smiled and laugh, giving them a seat. When the girls danced, Guan He noticed that there was indeed a tall girl with a great body.
“That’s her. How is it, isn’t she particularly beautiful?”
Guan He said nonchalantly, “Not bad.”
The boy couldn’t believe it. “This is not bad? How demanding are you?”
Someone interrupted, “It’s not that he’s demanding, he’s indifferent. Don’t you know that the big boss never fondles the flowers and trample the grass?* Fortunately, he is indifferent, otherwise, he would have bear many peach blossom debts in this condition.”
*to womanize; men seducing women; to frequent brothels; to sow one’s wild oats.
A group of people joked about Guan He and the schoolgirls dance also finished. The next show is playing the guitar while singing. After the host announces, behind the curtain, a young man freshly dressed came on stage with a guitar.
At that time, Xie Wenxing sang the song “As Long as You Love Me”. His voice was younger than it is now but it’s also very good. It was rare for people around Guan He to be quiet, and when the boy finished singing, girls were screaming everywhere.
In addition to the girls screaming, many of them were still at the same level. A group of seniors was frightened by the situation. At first, the Snow White jumped up, her voice was particularly loud:
“XIE WENXING!! I LOVE YOU——!!”
Her words seemed to ignite some kind of fireworks, the girls’ shouts and applause became even more enthusiastic. The teenager on the stage kept smiling, dazzling like a little sun. By the time he got off the stage, Guan He still remembered his voice and appearance. He later asked the boy’s name.
