Chapter 138: Transcendent Power! The Force of Music!

The teaser video Song Mo had previously posted online.

Still caused quite a stir.

Song Mo has a lot of fans, especially among the piano-loving crowd, with quite a few being rich young men and women.

Very well-off.

They learned that Song Mo was preparing to release an album.

One after another, they left messages of support.

And expressed their anticipation for the piano pieces.

……

Today, the moment the album was released.

Within five hours,

the play count surpassed a million.

The most terrifying thing was the MV's play count, which shot straight up to several million.

The number of viewers was still climbing.

But the comment section was extremely quiet at first.

A full hour later.

The originally quiet comment section was suddenly broken out of its silence.

"Have you all listened to the album and MV Song Mo released?"

"Finished listening. My review is just four words: soul-stirring."

"I finished it too, and watched it several times."

The comments at the start were still rather subdued.

Because the earliest commenters were all Song Mo's long-time fans. Although they listened to the piano pieces right away, they had long known what Song Mo was capable of.

So their emotions weren't all that worked up yet.

As Song Mo's old fans, they all had a pride unique to old fans — absolutely cannot be like new fans, making a big fuss as if they'd never seen the world.

Then the new fans converted from pure passers-by started making noise.

"Holy crap! What the hell kind of awesome music is this!"

"Saw it blowing up online, clicked in on a whim, damn, I couldn't pull myself away for a full three hours."

"I admit, Song Mo is a more handsome man than me and even Yan Zui."

"Hearing this music reminded me of my first love — she's sleeping right beside me right now…"

"No way, this is way too healing!"

"Damn! I was feeling a bit emo, but this thing actually cheered me up — give my emo back to me!"

"I hereby announce: passer-by turned fan!"

"I'm a convert too! From now on, I'm Song Mo's ultimate, invincible super-fan!"

On Kuaidou, "Song Mo" and "Piano Piece" became trending search terms. Many people who didn't know Song Mo or didn't like listening to music.

In various comment sections, drawn in by the crazy recommendations from Song Mo's fans, they couldn't resist going to check it out.

And then…

They could never leave again.

In today's society, whether it's music, movies, or novels, they all need to provide people with emotional value.

After all, for life, experience is what matters.

And Song Mo's three piano pieces provided positive emotions to the greatest extent, and could even help people walk out of their emo — naturally appearing incomparably precious.

So it's no wonder the netizens are making a big deal out of it, as if they've never seen the world.

……

On Twitter.

The audio and video of Song Mo's piano pieces and MV had already gone completely viral.

No less impressive than back home!

Because Song Mo didn't want to make money from the piano pieces — in fact, to let his music spread further, he directly put all three piano pieces on the platform for free.

After all, compared to money, Prestige Value is the more important thing.

Song Mo's primary mission was also to expand his own influence.

And Song Mo's image had always been excellent.

In the MV, the image he presented was a complete change from his usual aloofness — there was a sense of someone who, though not good with words, conveyed his care for you.

Song Mo in the MV was like a close confidant.

He knew all your hardships.

And empathized deeply, then used music to soothe the restlessness of the heart, to smooth out the scars left by life's bumps and bruises.

On foreign networks, Song Mo was even bestowed the beautiful name of "Wingless Angel."

&&&

Some songs in this world appeal to both refined and popular tastes.

Song Mo's piano pieces were the same.

Those who understand piano can hear the perfectly rounded tonal variations in Song Mo's piano sound, and those who don't can still sense the emotion Song Mo poured into it, and feel encouraged by the piano.

In a small county town in YN Province.

On top of a tall building.

There was a little girl standing up there.

Preparing to take her own life.

A firefighter stood anxiously below the building, shouting through a megaphone:

"Miss, you're so young—what could possibly be weighing on your mind?"

"Life is the most precious thing of all!"

"Don't stand on the rooftop, it's dangerous!"

"Come down, won't you? Your mom and dad must be waiting at home for you to eat!"

The girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I have no face to see my dad and mom."

"They told me not to date early and I wouldn't listen. Now I've been dumped. He said even in death he would never be with me. Tell me, what's the point of living?"

The firefighter found a breakthrough and shouted loudly:

"Miss, don't!"

"Isn't there a saying going around online? There are sweet grasses at every corner of the world—why cling to a single flower?"

"You absolutely don't need to take your own life just because of a breakup!"

The girl sobbed as she said:

"It's already too late!"

"Now it's not a matter of whether he wants me or not!"

"I followed him into early dating, skipping school, smoking, staying out all night… I've already been expelled! And I'm pregnant!"

"He won't even come with me to get an abortion! He just said let's break up!"

"Running into a beast like him, my life is completely ruined!"

She didn't feel reluctant to part with the scumbag.

She only hated herself.

Hated herself for personally destroying her own life.

Wanting to escape through death the bitter fruit she herself had sown.

As the young girl spoke, her eyes kept glancing downward, as if hesitating over whether to jump.

After all, every girl fears pain. She wasn't afraid of death itself—only afraid that dying would hurt.

The standoff dragged on.

The firefighter below, however, kept trying to spark the girl's interest in chatting, buying time.

Meanwhile, to the girl's right rear, another firefighter had quietly crept up, preparing to pull her to safety in one swift move.

But just then, a contemptuous voice rose from the crowd gathered below.

"Tch, another one who doesn't dare to die."

"You didn't love yourself—who can you blame? And you still want to die…"

"Putting on a show for attention all day long. Comrade officer, I'm telling you she's just being dramatic. You worrying about her plays right into her hands. I want to see—today, does she dare to jump or not!"

Hearing these words, the firefighter glared furiously, scanning the crowd to drag out this meddling beast.

But what mattered more now was protecting the girl on the rooftop.

Provoked into making up her mind, the girl closed her eyes, ready to leap—while the firefighter to her right rear still hadn't reached the top level…

It looked as though she was about to perish.

Suddenly, a pleasant piano melody rang out.

The piano music was very beautiful.

The kind that, once you stumble upon it on Kuaidou Short Video, holds you captive for at least five seconds.

And within this piano piece, there seemed to be a strange power.

Able to gradually soothe a heart heading toward the extreme.

The girl suddenly stopped.

She suddenly felt reluctant… reluctant to leave her mom and dad, the people who loved her, and this bright, sunny world.

The firefighter to her right rear finally drew close.

He lunged forward and pulled the girl to safety…
