Chapter 417: A Song Sung for You

At the scene of "King of Love Songs," for Luo Mo's encore stage, there were no flashy light shows, nor were there any stage effects that would make people gasp in wonder.

He only had a chair, a microphone stand, and the microphone Xu Chujing had given him.

A simple spotlight shone on him, adding a touch of softness to the entire scene.

Zhang Xinzhe's songs are not that easy to sing.

Compared to his other representative works, such as "Love Like the Tide" or "Excessive," there is not as much pain in "Love Is Just One Word," but rather more tender affection.

Among the many love songs by the "Prince of Love Songs" Zhang Xinzhe, there is also "Faith," which is equally passionate and just as pleasant to listen to.

But many of the lyrics within it are not applicable to the here and now.

The most interesting thing is that the album containing the song "Love Is Just One Word" is titled "I Miss You So Much."

So, what is it that is missed so much?

Everything is, of course, self-evident.

Amidst the lyrical accompaniment, Luo Mo continued to sing.

"I miss you, unable to help myself,

Every thought brings a new dream,

I hope you haven't forgotten,

I will protect you forever,

No matter the battering of wind and rain, with all my heart and soul."

The lyrics of the entire song do not contain overly obscure, difficult, or overly literary and profound vocabulary.

Yet many of the lines are precisely what touch people.

Since transmigrating, Luo Mo has had a completely different feeling when looking at the lyrics of this song.

Especially this line: "Every thought brings a new dream."

A new life always makes one think of the saying: "Zhuang Zhou dreams of being a butterfly, or is it the butterfly dreaming of being Zhuang Zhou?"

A brand-new life truly gives one the impression that life is but a dream.

If it were said that all of this was truly just a dream, then I would also hope that you could fill the entire dreamscape.

—There is always a breeze in the human world, filling my hundred thousand dreams.

He knew Xu Chujing was watching, and he knew Xu Chujing was listening.

Luo Mo looked at the camera, and as he sang, the nervousness in his heart lessened a little.

There are some things that, before you do them, make you a bit nervous, or even flustered.

But by the time you are halfway through, perhaps you just go all out.

Therefore, the first step is often the hardest to take.

With a peaceful state of mind, Luo Mo's singing appeared even more effortless.

Many female audience members listening to his subsequent performance only felt—I've fallen for it!

"How is this singing a love song? This is openly casting a spell on me in front of the entire nation's audience!"

"Too bewitching! Who can handle this!?"

"I really hope a guy can sing this song to me!"

"Decided, we'll use it for the wedding!"

"I'm very curious, is Jing watching the show?"

"Jing must be watching, definitely!"

After a simple pause, Luo Mo began to sing the content of the next section.

A mere four lines, yet they touched the heart.

"Two people reflecting each other,

The radiance surpasses the stars in the night.

I travel over mountains and ridges for you,

Yet have no heart to look at the scenery."

These four lines of lyrics are what many listeners of this song find the most touching, rather than the line "Love is just one word."

Some people like the first two lines best, while others like the last two lines best.

At this moment, it was night in Hangzhou, and the entire venue for the "King of Love Songs" Live Broadcast had opened its dome.

Many in the audience let out gasps of wonder, because through it, one could see the bright moon in the night sky and the scattered stars.

If it were the audience on Earth, perhaps they would already be listening to the lyrics and posting in the barrage: "May I be like the star and you like the moon, shining brightly upon each other every night."

Everyone just felt that Luo Mo's singing this time had a voice and style slightly different from before, having been treated in another way.

His singing voice had a vastness like standing on a mountain peak, and the gentleness of a soft mountain breeze blowing.

After singing a few more lines, the content reached the chorus section.

"Love is just one word, I only say it once.

You know I only express it through action.

Wildflowers are too presumptuous, I have held onto my persistence.

Watch me go all in for you."

Quite a few audience members, hearing this, began to tease.

"Only express it through action? Then, Luo Mo, what about your actions?"

"When will the Mo-Xu CP finally come true!"

"You better hurry up and go all in!"

"Oh my, they're just writing a song, don't be so serious!"

"Exactly, exactly."

And just at this moment, at the stage venue, a shocking change occurred!

Beijing, a certain high-end residential complex.

As usual, Xu Chujing did not like to wear shoes or socks indoors, and she was curled up on the sofa like a Cat.

The female Psychologist looked at this curvaceous figure and really could not understand why someone could possess such a pear-shaped physique?

Her waist was so slender, yet it gave the feeling of a delicate branch hanging heavy with fruit, with hips like a full moon.

She had recently gone online and seen a suggestive line, which she felt was very applicable to Xu Chujing: "There is no such thing as love at first sight; it's just that she happened to be wearing a tight-fitting skirt that day."

The Psychologist had never seen Xu Chujing watch a program as intently as she was today, and from the Heavenly Queen's micro-expressions, she could tell that Xu Chujing's emotions were experiencing huge fluctuations at this moment.

"This woman, could she have felt a sense of personal connection to it?" the female Psychologist began to analyze.

But once she thought about the relationship between the man and woman, she guessed it wasn't just a sense of connection, but that there might even be some kind of Promise between them in private.

Men, after all, and he was a songwriter too, so he might even secretly add: "The song was written specifically for you."

This kind of tactic was actually very common in the industry; many a Lyricist or composer would play this game to pick up girls.

In her view, if it were the Xu Chujing of the past, she would have looked down on this routine. She would have turned up her nose at such a maneuver.

But now... after all, the object was him.

Yet the female Psychologist felt that she was a bystander who saw things clearly: "What's so rare about saying in private that it was written for so-and-so?"

This line could be said to a hundred different girls!

But Xu Chujing actually didn't think too much; after that night, the little boat of their friendship had actually capsized.

These little secret interactions, along with that tacit understanding, were already enough to make her feel a hint of romantic affection.

She was very satisfied and very happy.

But no one expected that when Luo Mo sang the climax of "Love Is Just One Word," the giant screen behind him would suddenly light up.

The entire venue was instantly filled with endless screams and cheers.

Many people were even so excited that they stood up.

And the barrage of comments also spread across the screen in an instant; the audience didn't even type words, but instead sent waves of: "!!!"

On the giant screen, it read: "A song for you."

Even the most foolish person knew who this "you" represented.

The Gold-rimmed Glasses on the Psychologist's nose slipped slightly.

She knew that the groundhog in her heart had already started screaming at this moment.

And Xu Chujing, curled up on the sofa, couldn't help but lean toward the sofa cushion, pretending to have an indifferent expression on her face, her eyes fixed on the screen, not even daring to glance toward the Psychologist.

She felt a little regretful.

She should have watched the Live Broadcast alone at home today.

At the same time, she was also shocked by Luo Mo's "audacity."

Luo Mo's thoughts and original intention were actually very simple.

Back when he was on Earth, he watched a program called "Rock & Roast," and as he watched the new season all the way through, the thing that left the deepest impression on him was the final marriage proposal by a contestant named Yang Meng'en.

The program was pre-recorded; he asked everyone to keep it a secret, and then on the day the program aired, he would watch it with his girlfriend and propose to her on the spot.

At the end, he said something that left many viewers confused.

"The reason I'm saying this on stage isn't because of romance or anything else. It's because, having lived until now, based on the life I've seen and my own beliefs, it comes down to one sentence: There are no naturally good people in this world, only civilized beings who are restrained."

The meaning here was perhaps: "I will go against my nature, defy my instincts, and Love You forever."

Expressing his feelings in front of the entire nation's audience meant that he was willing to accept the supervision of the whole society. He was willing, for her sake, to become that "restrained civilized being."

To let her become the beloved one within the fences of civilization.

Many people hide their relationships to minimize the costs and risks they would have to bear after a breakup.

Or perhaps to become an excellent boatman.

Luo Mo didn't like that; he even felt it was very impolite.

In his view, making it public was merely the basic dating etiquette for a public figure when he wanted to be in a relationship.

Once, he and Xu Chujing might have had a pure "revolutionary friendship."

Now, both of them were not young anymore, and the timing was about mature.

He felt it was acceptable to be appropriately impure.

(PS: Happy Lantern Festival to everyone! By the way, the Lantern Festival was the Valentine's Day of the past.

Also, there might not be a second update... let's see how the evening goes.)
