Chapter 442

"The once burning heart has long since sunk."

"Saying you love me, if you deceive me."

"I would rather you were silent~~~~~"

The voice drifted away faintly, giving people an unreal feeling.

As if after colorful bubbles burst, turning into countless tiny water droplets, dissipating into the air.

It seemed the fleeting beauty just now was merely a dream.

……

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh……"

After a moment of silence, the scene erupted in warm applause.

Before the screen, many couldn't help but wipe tears from the corners of their eyes.

This song was simply too good to listen to!

Deng Ziqi, before the piano, calmed her mood and slowly stood up.

Although she had only received this song a few hours ago.

Yet for this song, she felt a familiarity coming from her very soul.

Could this be the legendary soul-bound divine song?

No! It should be said... Su Meng understands me!

In Deng Ziqi's gaze toward Su Meng, the light shimmered, almost overflowing with water.

"Wow, Teacher Deng, you are truly amazing!"

Teacher Yuan Yuan's look at Deng Ziqi was filled with admiration.

Deng Ziqi shook her head modestly and said.

"This is all because Teacher Su wrote the song so well."

"The song is written well, and it sounds good when sung too." Liu Laoshi added a sentence, asking with a mix of joy and annoyance.

"Teacher Su, those people said 'dreams and bubbles,' so you wrote this song 'Bubbles'."

"Is there some special meaning behind it?"

Su Meng opened his mouth, also feeling somewhat helpless.

I just heard that term, thought of this song, so I casually wrote it down.

Who told you I intended to use this song to respond to the Monk?

……

"Ding ling ling~~~" Just as Su Meng was about to speak but held back, Bai Xiao Ling's phone suddenly rang.

Bai Xiao Ling glanced at it and said in confusion.

"It's Liu Laoshi Huan?"

Liu Huan? Everyone became curious; calling at this time, what could it be about?

Answering the call, Bai Xiao Ling directly turned on the speakerphone, and Liu Huan's hearty voice came through.

"What a good song! Truly a good song!"

"Written well, this song is simply tailor-made for Deng Ziqi, bringing out Deng Ziqi's characteristics to the fullest!"

"Deng Ziqi sang well too, expressing the emotions in the song just right!"

"This song is absolutely a strong contender for this year's Golden Melody... hmm... provided Su Meng doesn't take a few more songs of the same level."

Hearing Liu Huan's evaluation of this song so high, many people also nodded silently.

Teacher Yang couldn't hold back anymore, leaning close to the phone and speaking.

"Liu Laoshi, I have a question. Isn't Su Meng's song responding to those people's remarks?"

"Why didn't I hear it?"

"So obvious and you still don't understand?" Liu Huan seemed somewhat surprised.

Everyone was stunned.

Is it that obvious? Why didn't I hear it?

Liu Huan explained patiently.

"Putting aside the essence of this song as a popular love song, this song has at least three layers of response!"

Three layers? Everyone became even more confused.

Even Su Meng was no exception.

When the hell did I say I would use this song to respond? And moreover, three layers?

"The first layer: when the bubbles disappear, are they truly gone?"

"Just like the emotions expressed in this song."

"Love is like a bubble, broken with a single poke."

"On the surface it is gone, but actually the scars left in the heart cannot heal for a long time."

"What Su Meng wants to express is."

"What I do, you think are bubbles and illusions, but actually?"

"This influence is subtle, it will last a long time, it will affect generation after generation of people!"

So it was like that?

Everyone suddenly understood.

So Su Meng was expressing his feelings through the song, and it had such a meaning!

……

Liu Huan continued speaking.

"The second meaning is the seven emotions and six desires of a human being."

"Love is one of humanity's timeless topics, and also a physiological and psychological instinct of human beings."

"But what about you people?"

"You reject these instincts and chase after hollow, pretentious things."

"Who is really chasing emptiness? Who is chasing nothingness?"

What? There's another layer to this?

Many were startled—abandoning the seven emotions and six desires is one of Buddhism's foundational principles.

You're now questioning this very foundation?

But before they could make sense of it, Liu Huan has already continued speaking.

"The third meaning—someone might object."

"Buddhism doesn't abandon the seven emotions and six desires; it encourages love not driven by selfish desire—that is, compassion."

"But Su Meng's song raises a powerful challenge."

"If you don't even understand your own feelings, your small love, what right do you have to speak of great love?"

"If you can't save yourself, what right do you have to save others?!"

"So on the surface, this song is just a popular love ballad."

"But in reality, it's an anti-Buddhist battle hymn!"

Fuck! Many jumped up in shock.

Su Meng's ambition is enormous!

We thought you were just responding to the monks' doubts, but you're challenging their very foundation?

Many minds were buzzing loudly.

High-level game! This is the real high-level game!

Without a trace of fuss, he casually produced a song as his reply.

If not for Liu Laoshi Huan's explanation, how many could have understood?

Liu Laoshi Huan is truly Su Meng's kindred spirit!

…

After finishing his explanation, Liu Huan hung up the phone, satisfied.

He waved his sleeve, not taking a single wisp of cloud with him.

It seemed his appearance was solely to make more people realize just how incredible Su Meng was.

Sure enough, seeing Su Meng's calm expression, everyone couldn't help but feel reverence.
