In Lu Chen's dream world, "Those Flowers" is a classic composed by a talented singer.
This low-key, beautiful and slightly sad ballad has touched countless people. It has been covered many times by other singers and often appears in school art evenings. It can be called the graduation song.
Although it is in a different space, the charm of this song has not faded at all.
It can easily evoke the deep feelings in people's hearts, especially those who have loved, been in love, been hurt, been in pain, and experienced the same separation, and naturally resonate strongly with it.
So there are so many girls crying, and the songs are full of tender memories and reverie, but after all, they are no match for the faint sorrow of separation - we just go our separate ways!
In "Those Flowers", Lu Chen devoted his most sincere feelings.
He used this song to say goodbye to his campus youth.
"Those flowers, thank you everyone!"
Lu Chen bowed deeply.
The applause suddenly exploded, like rapid artillery fire on the battlefield, fierce and lasting!
Many, many girls stood up, with tears in their eyes, and clapped their delicate palms vigorously, not caring even if it hurt.
The boys also followed suit, and their way of expressing their feelings was more direct, that is, by yelling loudly.
"Well done!" "Sing it again!" "One more song!"…
Soon, all the cheers and shouts turned into the simplest word: Go!
"rush!"
Having not experienced the baptism of social reality, most of these boys and girls retain their simple and sincere feelings.
They like it, they are moved, and they will not be stingy with their praise and applause.
Lu Chen straightened up and nodded: "Thank you!"
He took a deep breath, then turned and walked backstage.
it's over.
"Go!" "Go!" "Go!"
However, the uniform shouts from under the stage did not disappear because of Lu Chen's departure. Instead, they became more intense and loud. The high-spirited momentum seemed to overturn the dome of the auditorium!
The powerful male voice and the delicate and crisp female voice are completely blended into one voice.
"rush!"
Several school leaders and teachers in the first two rows of the auditorium couldn't sit still. They stood up and turned around, waving their arms to signal the students to quiet down and not to interfere with the performance behind them.
But no one paid any attention to them. Their authority had expired on graduation day!
Many people looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do. After all, it was very rare for such a situation to happen during school performances, and we would never encounter it at all.
Even Lu Chen himself didn't think of it.
He was just about to walk down the stairs when the host of the party hurried over and stopped him.
"Lu Chen, come back and sing another song!"
All the college students are enthusiastic and impulsive. If the atmosphere at the scene is not controlled, something big might happen.
The host's face turned pale.
"good!"
Lu Chen also realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly returned to the center of the stage.
As he appeared again, the passionate shouts quickly calmed down, but everyone was still standing.
Lu Chen collected his thoughts and said into the microphone: "Thank you everyone. Thank you for liking this song so much. Then I will sing another song for you. It is also a song I wrote myself. I hope you like it."
"Its name is Time Ballad!"
Warm applause burst out, as dense as rain hitting banana trees.
But it disappeared completely in an instant.
Because Lu Chen started singing.
"Slow down time and the world will be one year older.
How can I not be in a hurry?
Youth has escaped.
so many years,
You always said that nothing has changed since we met,
But the photo captured the boy's appearance.
What hasn’t changed is that,
This infatuation,
What has changed is,
This time.
So many years of youth,
Gone never to return,
I have also met people who made me nostalgic.
This world is still this world,
But it turns out you and I are no longer here.
…”
Playing the guitar casually, Lu Chen sang sweetly, using his singing to bring all the audience back to the past, to reminisce about the beauty of the past, and to miss the people who came and went in his life.
This song has a sentimentality similar to "Those Flowers", but it is more nostalgic.
As the chorus goes.
"...
This time, shake and shake,
This time, turn and turn.
This time, shake and shake,
At this time, it turns and turns!
…”
With Lu Chen's clear, clean and slightly sad singing voice, an indescribable atmosphere enveloped the auditorium. Everyone consciously or unconsciously sat down again and listened to him quietly.
It's also quiet, and there's a backstage.
The facilities in the auditorium are very advanced, and there is a TV screen in the backstage area to watch the live broadcast of the stage.
Almost everyone in the large dressing room gathered in front of the screen.
Cao Xiuzhu is also one of them.
She had shed tears just now, and there were still glistening tears in the corners of her eyes.
She was not the only one who also shed tears.
"...
So many years of youth,
Gone never to return,
I have also met people who made me nostalgic.
But what hasn’t changed is this infatuation,
What has changed is,
This time!
I want to sing a time song for you,
This way my youth will never grow old.
I want to sing a time song for you,
This way my youth will never grow old.
…”
Our youth will never grow old!
After playing the last coda, Lu Chen did not say any more thanks, but quietly bowed and backed away, leaving the stage.
Let everyone reflect on the rest slowly.
This time, no one stayed and asked to come back, because everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere created by the singing.
Lu Chen returned to the backstage smoothly.
As soon as he came down, a figure suddenly rushed over and hugged him!
Lu Chen was startled, took a closer look, and quickly shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, Squad Leader Cao, please don't hug me if it's inappropriate!"
The person who hugged him was Cao Xiuzhu. The female monitor let go of her embrace with red eyes and said, "Lu Chen, you sing so well. I didn't know you were so talented!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm called a late bloomer..."
At this time, many people gathered around Lu Chen and clapped their hands in unison.
Whether they were about to perform on stage or those who had already finished the performance, they paid tribute to Lu Chen with neat, warm and sincere applause!
Lu Chen was surprised and moved. He couldn't express it. He could only say: "Thank you, thank you everyone! Thank you!"
There was also Su Xuan in the crowd. She was smiling, a blessing.
…
The graduation party was over, and when Lu Chen and Gao He returned to the dormitory, it was already 11:30.
Everyone said nothing and lay on their own beds.
This is the last night in college.
"Goodbye, my youth!"
I don't know who's shouting at the top of my lungs, breaking the silence of the night and coming in through the glass window.
Like a wounded lone wolf.
"Goodbye, my university!"
Bang!
There was a low sound of something exploding somewhere.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This sound seems to be contagious, spreading quickly like a plague.
Gao He, who was sleeping on Lu Chen's lower bunk, suddenly turned over and stood up, and his head hit Lu Chen's bed board hard.
But this Qilu man didn't care at all. He picked up the thermos bottle on the ground, pushed open the glass window, smashed the thermos bottle down, and shouted out the window with all his strength: "Wang Xiaoling, I love you!"
"Come home with me!"
Lu Chen, Wan Hongzhi and Zhou Rui looked at each other, speechless to comfort them.
Wan Hongzhi silently picked up his hot water bottle and followed Gao He to smash it downstairs: "What a fool!"
Lu Chen laughed and immediately jumped out of bed.
The entire university dormitory area quickly turned into a crazy battlefield. Everyone threw out everything they could!
The sound of crashing, breaking, shouting, crying... echoed for a long time in the empty night.
This is our youth!
After hitting nothing, Gao He leaned over and pulled out a box of canned beer from under the bed and opened it.
He grabbed a few cans of beer and threw them to Lu Chen and others. He also opened a can and said in a hoarse voice: "We will spend the last night of college with our eyes open. No one can sleep!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the dormitory was pushed open forcefully.
Appearing at the door, there was a petite girl with tears on her face.
She cried and said: "Gao He, I will go home with you."
Snap!
The beer can in Gao He's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the wine mixed with foam splashed out.
Bits and pieces splashed on him.
