Chapter 93 Open Questioning

The original singer, Lei Yuxin, sang this song with a clear, girlish sentiment mixed with a touch of sadness. Lu Yanhe, of course, couldn't simply copy it. He sang it with a more open-minded attitude, expressing more of a sense of reluctance and a hope for the future, which was a true reflection of Lu Yanhe's current state of mind.

Yan Liang and Lu Yanhe were watching the program together.

When he saw Lu Yanhe appear, he was pleasantly surprised and said, "It's finally your turn."

While pleasantly surprised, Yan Liang was also somewhat worried, as he was well aware of his teammate's usual performance.

Although he has become a different person in real life, no one can predict what will happen on stage.

Until the spotlight shone on the stage, the predominantly bluish-white stage lighting effect was excellent, and only Lu Yanhe's body outline could be seen.

Then, Lu Yanhe walked towards the front of the stage.

Stand still and nod slightly.

The quiet scene was accompanied by two heartbeats added in post-production.

Then, the prelude piano music began to play.

The program information sheet appears at the bottom of the screen.

It was only at this moment that Yan Liang realized that Lu Yanhe was not singing "Chasing Dreams," but a song he had never heard before.

"commemorate".

Yan Liang sat up abruptly, staring at the information in disbelief.

"You wrote this song?!" Yan Liang turned and stared at Lu Yanhe in astonishment, his voice filled with disbelief.

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "An attempt."

Yan Liang blinked, and then he heard Lu Yanhe's voice.

Their vocal coach once said this to Lu Yanhe in front of them.

"You have excellent vocal qualities. Your voice is youthful and bright, and you can hit high notes effortlessly. You have a wide vocal range, but you lack confidence, so you don't dare to make a sound. This state completely affects your vocal quality. Even if we amplify your voice countless times in post-production, everyone can still hear that your voice lacks breath, so it can't resonate with people."

These words still ring in my ears.

But Lu Yanhe has never changed.

He remained insecure and cautious, as if possessed by a shadow, shrouded in an inescapable gloom no matter what he did.

At that moment, in the video, the instant Lu Yanhe opened his eyes, his voice flowed out like a clear stream, stirring up a tidal wave in Yan Liang's heart with a youthful spirit tinged with a touch of bewilderment.

It sounds nice.

This is the most intuitive feeling.

After regaining his rationality, Yan Liang's feeling became, "How could things have changed so much!"

Yan Liang was stunned, watching the person who was so familiar stand on the stage with an unfamiliar openness and nonchalance, singing along with the music.

The expressions of the audience weren't much better than Yan Liang's.

The same applies to the guests who were recorded at the same time.

Everyone's face showed surprise.

Clearly, this was a performance that caught everyone off guard.

After the song performance ended, the director cut to a shot of Liu Zhilan with red eyes and tears streaming down her face.

The audience erupted in applause.

Then, the camera returned to Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe seemed to have just finished a performance; his calm and composed demeanor changed immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief, then grinned and returned to his usual self.

"Old Lu, you—" Yan Liang turned his head and stared blankly at Lu Yanhe, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Lu Yanhe immediately said, "Don't worry, I haven't been possessed. I'm still me."

Now he feels less guilty saying this—if you tell a lie for a long time, you gradually start to believe it yourself.

Lu Yanhe asked, "What do you think?"

"It's amazing!" Yan Liang suddenly snapped out of his daze, his expression excited. "You can actually write songs? When did you start learning to write songs!"

Lu Yanhe gave the reason he had prepared long ago.

“I haven’t had much to do these past two years, so I’ve been learning some music on my own,” Lu Yanhe said. “I figured it out myself and then wrote this piece.”

Yan Liang suddenly grabbed Lu Yanhe's shoulder: "Write me a song sometime!"

Lu Yanhe: "No, no, no, I don't even know if I can write a second one."

He didn't write it himself; Chen Siqi helped him compose the music.

He couldn't very well hum another song and have Yan Liang write it into a melody.

Yan Liang became quite excited.

"You're amazing! This song is so good, it's bound to be a hit," Yan Liang said.

Will it become popular?

Hopefully it will become popular.

-

That evening after the show aired, there was a surge in online discussions about Lu Yanhe.

The song "Remembrance" has also been noticed and shared by some music bloggers online.

It certainly looks like it's on fire.

Lu Yanhe received a call from Zhou Pingan at 9 p.m.

Zhou Ping'an came to ask him where this song came from.

Lu Yanhe said he wrote it himself.

Zhou Ping'an didn't believe it at all, and said, "How could you write songs? Where did you pick up someone else's composition from, right?"

Lu Yanhe was so angry at Zhou Ping'an's words that he was furious.

"Brother Ping An, I wrote the song!"

Lu Yanhe spoke with absolute certainty, while Zhou Ping'an fell silent.

When did you learn to write songs?

Lu Yanhe said, "I figured it out myself over the past two years."

Zhou Ping'an still didn't believe it and asked, "Then who did you learn from?"

Lu Yanhe said, "Who I can learn from is something I figured out on my own."

Zhou Ping'an sneered and said, "If this thing could be learned by oneself, would so many people need to go to music academies?"

"What I've been doing these past two years, who I've learned what from, do you think I can hide it?" Lu Yanhe said. "Although I haven't had much work, I've always stayed in the dormitory, either practicing at a company or attending classes at school. Shouldn't you be the one who knows best what I've learned from whom?"

Zhou Ping'an: "Lu Yanhe, you think your song is becoming a little popular now, so you're starting to get angry with me? What are you unhappy about?"

“I’m dissatisfied with your attitude towards me. I thought you were dissatisfied with me before because I’m not suitable for the entertainment industry, because I can’t perform well, or because I’ve let you down. I accept all of that. But I can’t understand why, this month, whether I’ve been in the news, been praised by the police for my bravery, or written and sang my own song on the show, I still can’t get your approval?”

Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Yanhe finally said some things he had wanted to say for a long time.

In any case, since Zhou Ping'an has already made up his mind to drive him away, there is no need for them to continue to pretend to be friendly.

Continuing to act submissively and allow oneself to be bullied in the same way as before will only worsen one's situation.

He also wanted to learn some of the truth from Zhou Ping'an.

Why is Zhou Ping'an in such a hurry to get rid of him?
