The girls in colorful feathers walked briskly down the staircase leading to the backstage like butterflies. The relatively narrow space was filled with the fragrance of powder that can make people's hearts beat faster.
These beautiful girls had just finished a dance performance, and the applause in the auditorium had not yet subsided. They were talking and laughing, and the sweat on their foreheads mixed with dots of gold powder shone under the light of the wall lamps.
Lu Chen held the guitar and politely turned sideways and pressed his back against the wall to make way for them.
Several girls looked at Lu Chen curiously and kept passing by him.
Leaving behind a string of laughter like silver bells.
On the stage outside, the host was announcing: "Thank you to the wonderful performances of the twenty-four beautiful girls just now. The following program is from the application major of the Department of Computer Science, and the male solo..."
"His name is Lu Chen, let us welcome him on stage with applause!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen, who was already standing at the exit of the stage, immediately stepped forward and stood under the spotlight.
Facing nearly 10,000 alumni and teachers present, he showed a confident smile.
After the baptism of the light blue music carnival night, Lu Chen would not be nervous no matter how large the audience was.
He believes in his songs.
There was a roar of applause. Although it was not enthusiastic, many students were still very considerate.
Especially Lu Chen's classmates clapped their hands and whistled loudly and professionally.
Lu Chen was tall and handsome. He used to be from a wealthy family, but he didn't have the dandy attitude of a rich kid. He was usually very willing to help others, so he had always been quite popular among his classmates.
Many people know about the changes in Lu Chen's family, and also know that he went out to work early to make money. Their applause is their support and admiration for Lu Chen, because it is not easy to do what he does.
Sitting in seat 19, row 37, of the He Liang Great Auditorium, Wang Ying raised her hand and clapped it twice, then put it down immediately.
She stared at Lu Chen standing in the center of the stage, and suddenly felt that the latter was strange.
The girl sitting next to Wang Ying quietly came over and asked in a low voice: "Why, do you still miss him?"
Wang Ying shook her head in confusion.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. They had obviously been separated for so long and the two of them had made it clear.
But there is always a feeling lingering in my heart!
The girl next door said earnestly: "You've already got your points, so don't think too much about it! What's the use of being handsome now? If you like him or not, you can find someone better than him based on your conditions, such as that Chen Peng
That’s pretty good.”
Wang Ying frowned and said, "He and I had already gone there a long time ago, so I didn't think much about it."
The girl next door chuckled and said: "That's right. For us girls, finding a suitable husband is the most important thing. It's so tiring to work hard outside the society. The housing prices in Hangzhou are so expensive. It's not worth it to follow a handsome guy to endure hardship!"
"
Wang Ying listened in one ear and out the other, wondering where her mind was wandering.
At this moment, Lu Chen was facing the microphone and said: "Thank you for your applause. The song I am going to sing here tonight is one I wrote myself, and it is also the first time I will sing it in public."
"I send this song to all the girls, all the juniors and seniors, because it is because of you that Jianghai University is a truly beautiful campus. I wish you will always be young and beautiful!"
There was countless laughter in the auditorium, and many girls applauded again, even more enthusiastically.
Most of the boys were envious, jealous, and secretly cursed.
Use original works to please girls? What a beautiful idea. If you sing badly, you will be booed - let you act cool.
Handsome guys, especially handsome guys who can play the guitar, are the most annoying!
However, Lu Chen did not feel the resentment from the singles. He turned his head and gave a thumbs up to the director on the sidelines, indicating that he could start.
After a while, the image of the new song MV appeared on the huge screen behind Lu Chen.
He lightly plucked the strings and played the prelude, softly and softly.
The first thing that appeared on the LED screen was the blurred Jianghai University campus, and then the silhouettes of girls quietly appeared along with the sketched flowers, setting off four hand-painted artistic words - those flowers.
"That laughter reminds me of my flowers,
Open for me quietly in every corner of my life.
I thought I would always be by her side,
Today we have left in the vast sea of people.
Are they all old?
Where are they?
We just go to the end of the world!
La...miss her.
La...Is she still driving?
La...go!
They have been blown away by the wind and scattered to the end of the world!
…”
A touch of sadness, a touch of nostalgia, and a low voice singing about the past time. Lu Chen's playing is simple and concise, but the beautiful melody and lyrics give this song the power to touch the heart.
Especially the girls, they looked at the familiar or unfamiliar photos appearing in the big screen MV. Those are their youth memories, those running, hugging, jumping, playing...
The past time reappears before our eyes, joyful, sad, sweet, exciting...
They are about to graduate and will be blown away by the wind and scattered all over the world!
"...
Some stories haven’t been told yet, so forget it.
Those feelings have become difficult to distinguish between true and false over the years.
Now the place is overgrown with grass and has no flowers,
Fortunately, I once had your spring and autumn, winter and summer.
La...miss her,
La...Is she still driving?
La...go!
They have been blown away by the wind and scattered to the end of the world.
Are they all old?
Where are they?
We just go to the end of the world each other!
…”
The auditorium, which can accommodate thousands of spectators, was very quiet. There was no applause, laughter or talking. Everyone was listening to Lu Chen's singing.
Some girls were already crying.
The singing aroused the romantic wishes and involuntary sadness in their hearts, like dandelions that bloom unexpectedly at the right time, and their souls seemed to be wandering away with the flying tidbits, and could never be recovered.
Lu Chen played and hummed, memories flooding back.
The flower that left the deepest mark on his life was one of his senior students, Wan.
She appeared when Lu Chen was at his most depressed. Not long after his father passed away and he broke up with Wang Ying, he was going through great changes in his life. He was as decadent and gloomy as a walking zombie.
Er Wan's appearance was like a bright sunshine that dispelled the darkness and haze in Lu Chen's heart. She used her tenderness to soothe Lu Chen's injured soul, allowing Lu Chen to finally get rid of depression and face life with strength again.
But Lu Chen couldn't keep Wan behind. After graduation, she immigrated to the UK with her family.
Even Lu Chen's best friends didn't know about this relationship, and he didn't tell anyone.
It's always been in my heart.
He sings this song here today precisely for the sake of elegance.
Her photo is also in the MV, smiling brightly!
"...
Are they all old?
Where are they?
We just go to the end of the world each other!
…”
Unknowingly, Lu Chen's eyes were filled with tears. He had never sang so emotionally before, and there was a choking sound in his singing.
In the audience, many girls were already in tears. They were either sobbing alone, or hugging each other to comfort each other, freely venting the emotions aroused in their hearts.
Wang Ying bit her lips tightly, and the look in her eyes was extremely complicated.
Her intuition told her that Lu Chen's song was sung to his most beloved person.
That person is not her.
She was also moved by the song, but thinking of this, her heart seemed to be bitten by a poisonous snake, with strong jealousy and pain, as if she had lost her most cherished treasure!
The scene of the MV was finally fixed on a photo.
On a drizzling afternoon, deep in the old streets and alleys, there is a silhouette of a gentle and charming woman holding a paper umbrella.
The dense water vapor made the camera hazy, making it impossible to capture her true face clearly.
But the beauty, like an orchid in an empty valley, is destined to become one of the most profound memories for all those who witness it.
Lu Chen finished singing.
He puffed up his chest and said into the microphone: "Thank you everyone for those flowers!"
He wanted to thank all the flowers that appeared in his twenty-two-year-old life.
