“That evening it snowed
Sadness saturated the hills,
While we were waiting for youth to end
Midnight movie, full of ancient love forever
In the silent darkness, we sang together.
……”
The bar, which was full of people, became quiet and everyone was just quietly listening to Lu Chen’s playing and singing.
Listening to a new song that they have never heard before.
Although the melody is different, it still has the familiar style, the melodious sound of the piano, and Lu Chen’s singing. There is no screaming, nor blood-boiling excitement, just telling the story of the past, warmth and romance with a little sadness and nostalgia.
The song he wrote seemed like a glass of clear and transparent white water which has the finest taste.
“…
Let go, my girl
Watch the rosy sunshine
With your singing with the wind,
And the love in my heart
Dew sparkles on your hair
I feel its melancholy
The first time in my life.
……”
Ye Zitong was sitting in front of the bar. She was in a good position and could clearly see Lu Chen on the stage.
She couldn’t help staring at the face that was not very familiar. The clean and handsome face, with thick and neat eyebrows and a strong nose. But the most impressive was his bright and godlike eyes.
It was like the dark starry night that contains countless secrets, that people can’t help but want to explore.
Ye Zitong’s pretty face suddenly turned red and a little hot.
Because Lu Chen was gazing at her at that moment, as if he was singing for her exclusively!
“…
When time and beauty become
a sigh in the wind
Your doleful eyes mourn the past time
When we still believe in love,
The song I haven’t sang for you
Always remind me till the end.”
As he gently hit the last note on his guitar, the song ended.
Lu Chen withdrew his gaze. He put his guitar on his lap and said to the microphone, “Love in The Windis also my original work. I hope you like it.”
Applause. No unexpected sounds, just warm, lasting, pure and sincere applause!
Whether in melody or style, this song “Love in The Wind” does not exceeds to that of “You Who Sat Next To Me” and “Cinderella” or any nostalgic folk songs, but it still gives the people a lot of surprises.
There are many talented singers who often fall into a dilemma after creating one or two excellent works. Their following works doesn’t have spirit or soul. Some even satisfy themselves using the reputation and benefits brought by their previous works to pursue luxury.
Lu Chen is obviously not like that. His inspiration seems endless. All his works can be regarded as excellent works or even classics. There is no perfunctory criticism in both lyrics and musical composition.
Even if this song “Love in The Wind” is no better than his other songs, it is enough!
When love became a song, when the singer leaves, when the past gradually drifts away, and now in this bar, who can forget such a touching love song?
So, at this time, they just need to applaud.
Zuo Xintian also applauded. She clapped her little palms until they became red. She got close to Ye Zitong’s ear and said, “Yezi, Lu Chen just sang for you, so you can go ahead!”
Ye Zitong gritted his teeth, twisted her mouth and said, “If you want to chase after him, don’t drag me with you!”
Today, Zuo Xintian made many jokes with Lu Chen, in order to be a matchmaker.
Zuo Xintian smiled and said, “Don’t regret it if I really go after him.”
Ye Zitong hummed.
“There are more people who want to chase this girl!” she said.
Zuo Xintian commented, “I didn’t mean what I said!”
Ye Zitong became silent.
At this moment, on the stage, Lu Chen did not respond to the costumer’s enthusiastic request for him to sing few more songs, but he just thank them after ending his performance.
Lu Chen really likes the atmosphere of Forget Grass Bar, but it’s only a post station of his life. He is destined not to stay here, and his time in the bar will become less and less in the future.
After returning the guitar to The Wandering Band, Lu Chen returned to the bar.
Zuo Xintian praised him and said, “Mr. Lu Chen, you sing so well, why don’t you sing a few more songs?”
Lu Chen explained, “Three songs are almost the same and because I want to protect my voice. So, what would you like to drink? It’s my treat.”
Zuo Xintian was about to accept his offer, but Ye Zitong said, “Thank you, senior, but I want to go back.”
Zuo Xintian was surprised: “Yezi, why?”
Lu Chen was also stunned, and then said, “Okay, then I’ll send you back together.”
Ye Zitong smiled and nodded.
Zuo Xintian was very unhappy, but she couldn’t stay here alone, so she had to follow them reluctantly.
Lu Chen sent them back to Beijing Normal University.
After getting out of the car, Ye Zitong said to him, “Senior, I really troubled you today. Thank you.”
Suddenly she was polite to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen laughed and said, “You’re welcome. If there’s anything wrong with the computer, you can contact me anytime.”
Ye Zitong: “OK.”
Zuo Xintian looked at Ye Zitong and Lu Chen, and she had a puzzled expression.
Lu Chen waved at her, “Good-bye.”
After Lu Chen left by taxi, Ye Zitong and Zuo Xintian walked to the university.
Zuo Xintian hesitated and asked cautiously as they approached the dormitory building, “Yezi, are you angry?”
Ye Zitong pursed his lips and laughed, “Why would I be angry? I’m just thinking about how to tidy you up!”
“Ha!”
Zuo Xin said disdainfully, “Now, you’re able to talk like that. Let’s see who going to tidy who up…Ah!”
Their crisp laughter and playfulness spread far and wide in the campus at night.
Unfortunately, Lu Chen couldn’t hear it.
He went back to his single apartment in Jincheng Garden, took a shower, and then turned on his computer to log in [Whale TV].
Just as he was about to open the live room, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the name displayed on the screen, Lu Chen quickly grabbed the phone and pressed down the call button.
“Big Sis?”
It was his sister Lu Xi who called Lu Chen.
Lu Xi is three years older than Lu Chen. She is also a graduate of Jianghai University. She and Lu Chen are both alumni there. However, she majored in finance. It’s already been 2 years since she graduated and she now works in a private enterprise.
“Lu Chen, I heard from mother that you are doing very good now?”
Lu Xi’s voice is still familiar, still with a teasing flavor: “Did you gave home 300,000 yuan?”
“Cough!”
Lu Chen coughed twice and said, “I’m just got lucky. I wrote two songs and sold them at a high price.”
“If you have such a bright future and can make money, you should do just that!”
Lu Xi said, “I don’t need you to worry about my affairs. And I’m not going to take the postgraduate entrance exam either. You just have to take care of yourself!”
As soon as the she finished talking, she hung up the phone.
Lu Chen laughed and said nothing as he listened to the phone’s busy tone of “Dudu”.
Lu Chen’s sister is tough-tempered, and she inherits their parents’ toughness and stubbornness. And his relationship with her is not very good.
Before her sister Lu Xue was born, because Lu Chen was a boy, he was always the most favorite at home. and he somewhat developed the arrogance and willfulness of rich children.
When Lu Qingsheng’s career was in trouble, Lu Chen was still addicted to his university life. He was indifferent to the family situation. He only asked for money. He didn’t wake up1 until his father died of overwork and illness.
Although it was useless even if Lu Chen worked hard, Lu Xi insisted that Lu Qingsheng would not have to work so hard if he did not want to get a good family business for Lu Chen.
Since then, neither sister nor brother has spoken to each other. Lu Chen feels guilty about it, so after earning money, he plans to let her go back to school to continue her postgraduate studies and complete her dream.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xi didn’t appreciate it and called to mock him.
Lu Chen turns off the computer he just turned on.
Because of the call, he was not in a good mood. It’s difficult to force a smile in front of a camera.
Tomorrow night is the [Whale TV] PK theme show. Lu Chen has been preparing for it for such a long time. He doesn’t want to compete with a melancholy mood.
Lu Chen’s goal is to be in the top 3 of PK theme show!
This may sound incredible. Knowing that his current live broadcasting attention was the least among all the 24 contestant anchors, his popularity is far from that of the truly popular anchors.
But Lu Chen didn’t think that he would not have the chance to touch the top three. He firmly believed that his efforts would be successful.
He will succeed!
