Chapter 222: Sorry, I accidentally showed off again!

"Back then, we were

not mature or honest enough with each other,

we shouldn't have (the passion is gone),

your smile couldn't be forced,

love is buried deep in the Coral Sea!"

The male and female voices alternated, finally merging together, gradually sinking into the seabed!

At the same time, the stage lights gradually dimmed.

The two still did not look at each other.

They drifted further and further apart, disappearing from the stage.

Only a line of poetry remained on the screen.

"The most distant distance in the world is the distance between the bird and the fish. One soars in the sky, while the other dives deep into the seabed."

In an instant!

The scene fell into a dead silence!

Everyone was still intoxicated by that love story between the seabird and the fish, unable to pull themselves out for a long time!

From the very beginning, this story was destined to end in heartbreak!

At the same time, that was also the love story that belonged to most of them!

At this moment, the live stream chat became lively first!

【Clap clap clap!! Flowers scattered, it's over! If they didn't finish singing, I would've cried to death!】

【This "Coral Sea" is really sad, my eyes are swollen from crying, how am I supposed to go to work tomorrow?】

【Sure enough! Zhang Yang is right, you just can't go and taste the bitterness of love!】

【I don't believe Zhang Yang hasn't been in a relationship! You can't write a song like this without breaking up dozens of times!】

【"Today You Are Going to Marry Me" is so sweet, yet this "Coral Sea" is so torturous! Is there really nothing he can't do besides weddings and funerals?】

【They held hands at the start, but left with their backs to each other at the end. Was that a coincidence or stage design?】

【It must be stage design. The more affectionate the beginning, the more torturous the end!】

At this very moment!

Zhang Yang and Bai Lu, standing on either side of the stage, were stunned!

Why is this batch of audience members so hard to handle?!

Weren't they very hyped before?

Why is it dead silent now?

Where is the applause?!

Where are the cheers?!

This is about the diamond ring!

At this time,

He Ling reacted quickly, picked up the microphone, and said with a smile.

"It seems everyone is still immersed in this song?"

Huang Huang Bingbing beside him also had red eyes.

"Yes, this song is too heart-wrenching. The love between the seabird and the fish was just an accident!"

At this time, the audience also came back to their senses.

Suddenly, someone extended a microphone and asked, "What is the name of this song?"

"Coral Sea!"

In an instant!

A torrent of sound from over twenty thousand people swept across the night sky,

making even the stars in the night sky flicker!

He Ling: "Then let us welcome our Zhang Yang and Bai Lu with the warmest applause!"

"Clap clap clap!!"

"Zhang Yang!!! Bai Lu!!!"

The scene boiled over once again!

Applause and cheers intertwined, the sound resounding through the entire night sky.

"Thank you everyone! Thank you for your love!"

Zhang Yang and Bai Lu returned to the stage with smiles.

He Ling asked with a grin: "Zhang Yang, what inspired you to write this 'Coral Sea'? Netizens are all saying you couldn't write such a heart-wrenching song without breaking up dozens of times."

"Hahahaha!!"

The audience below roared with laughter!

Clearly, they were amused by He Ling's remark!

Zhang Yang picked up the microphone in his hand and said.

"Actually, art comes from life but is higher than life! Not every work is the author's personal experience; it could be someone else's story, a poem, or even an object!"

"In fact, everyone should know the inspiration for 'Coral Sea'—it's this line of poetry on the screen: The most distant distance in the world is the distance between the bird and the fish. One soars in the sky, while the other dives deep into the seabed."

Huang Huang Bingbing suddenly said happily: "I know, I love this poem! This line comes from 'The most distant distance in the world' in Tagore's 'Stray Birds'!"

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "You're right, but not entirely right!"

"Ah?! Am I wrong?"

At this moment, not only was Huang Huang Bingbing stunned!

Even the audience below was in an uproar!

Although many people didn't know "Stray Birds,"

many had heard the love poem "The most distant distance in the world," and its author was Tagore from India!

Zhang Yang smiled slightly:

"I believe if you ask who wrote this poem, everyone would say: Tagore. But if you look up Tagore's original poetry collection, you will find that this poem is not in it."

"Actually, 'The most distant distance in the world' is a poetic style. There are many versions circulating online, and the most well-known one is the one falsely attributed to Tagore, but it is written very beautifully!"

"So, gradually, this became known as Tagore's poem. The old gentleman himself probably doesn't even know about this, and as for the original author, it's no longer traceable!"

Huang Huang Bingbing couldn't accept this for a moment.

She didn't even know the true author of her favorite poem.

She could only look at the knowledgeable He Ling.

The audience below was also in an uproar!

Is this for real?!

Is Zhang Yang just spouting nonsense!

He Ling first gave Zhang Yang a thumbs up, then said with a smile.

"Zhang Yang is right, that is indeed the case. Actually, I was just like everyone else before, always thinking the author of this poem was Tagore!"

"But a few days ago while recording a show, I happened to be talking to Huang Lao about Tagore, and that's when I learned the truth. My expression back then was just as shocked as Huang Bingbing's!"

Suddenly!

The audience below began to stir!

What Zhang Yang said was actually true!!

This feeling is like having a girlfriend you've been dating for a long time,

and one day she suddenly tells you she's a man!

That truth is quite explosive!

【Holy crap!! I also always thought this poem was Tagore's!】

【Who didn't? After learning the truth, tears are streaming down my face!】

【Damn!! Zhang Yang showed off again! Invisible showing off is the most lethal!】

【A graduate of the Wenxue Academy, he really has some skills!!】

Zhang Yang had no choice but to shrug helplessly.

Sorry, I accidentally showed off again!

"Actually, this wasn't our first choice of song; it was another one!"

At this time, Bai Lu stepped out to break the momentary awkwardness.

Huang Huang Bingbing immediately turned into a curious baby, looking at Zhang Yang with wide eyes.

"Oh?! Which one is it?"

Zhang Yang: "It was also a new original song about love, but Bai Lu didn't like it, so we changed it to this 'Coral Sea'!"

Huang Huang Bingbing asked with a face full of anticipation: "Can you sing it?"

The audience below reacted instantly and immediately started egging them on.

"Sing it! Sing it! Sing it! Sing it!"

The waves of sound came one after another, surging and sweeping across the entire venue!

Zhang Yang looked at Bai Lu speechlessly.

"Aren't you making me work overtime? You have ulterior motives!"

Bai Lu understood instantly!

She shot a look back: "Hehe! See for yourself! There are over twenty thousand people down there!"

None of this escaped He Ling's eyes.

He suddenly seemed to smell the sour stench of love!

These two must already have a thing going on!

How could Zhang Yang let Bai Lu be so smug?

Boyfriend and girlfriend, right!

Share the blessings, share the burdens!

That's how it should be, right!

"This is also a duet. Whether we sing it, and how much we sing, depends on our beautiful Bai Lu!"

Suddenly!

The gazes of over twenty thousand people below instantly turned to Bai Lu.

Now the pressure was on Bai Lu!

Bai Lu was instantly stunned!

This hateful guy actually burned the fire onto her.

"No? I only know a little bit of this song, I haven't learned it yet!"

He Ling quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Sing as much as you know, I believe everyone won't mind!"

"We won't!!"

"Lulu!! I love you!!"

"Milky skin Bai Bai Mengyan, peerless beauty Bai Bai Mengyan, fairy descended to earth Bai Bai Mengyan!"

In this situation!

Facing the highly enthusiastic audience!

Bai Lu had no choice but to agree.

Then she glared at Zhang Yang and said: "It's all your fault!"

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Good luck, I believe in you!"

After speaking, he turned and walked toward the music teacher on stage!

Xue Zhi, who was backstage, saw this, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Could this be the song Zhang Yang mentioned for him?
