Chapter 698 A Song of Mortals, Paying Tribute to My Past Self (2/2)

For her, who had grown up in luxury, Wang Yueheng's song was more like a cheerful and upbeat tune.

It's difficult to grasp the helplessness and sorrow contained in the song.

Meanwhile, the other two assistants were listening to music and recording videos.

While listening to Wang Yueheng's singing, gently sway your head rhythmically.

Gradually, I was drawn to Wang Yueheng's lyrics and melody, and felt a sense of resonance with them.

It has to be said that the rhythm of this song is really catchy, making people want to hum along and sway.

The older middle-aged assistant, in particular, kept his eyes on Wang Yueheng, who was humming.

It's as if I see a reflection of my own life in the other person's songs.

The style of this song seems to be specifically designed for middle-aged men in their forties and fifties.

In youth, one yearns for love with high spirits and is full of fighting spirit for the sake of a beautiful woman.

However, upon entering the "walled city" of marriage, one discovers that the mundane realities of daily life have become the main theme.

The sweet love of youth turned into endless arguments and countless cold wars.

When faced with unemployment in middle age, the couple became like birds in the same forest, flying away at the slightest disagreement, leaving behind a mess of their lives...

Ask yourself, when have you ever seen the world change for the sake of people?

"Does having the face you've always dreamed of mean you've found your spring...?"

As the chorus began, Han Hong and Wang Yueheng's powerful harmonies rang out.

The two singers' beautiful and rhythmic voices instantly penetrated the doors and windows of the room, spreading outside the private room.

It stands in stark contrast to the lively sounds of drinking games or other noises around it.

...

"Come on, let's all drink this toast to celebrate our 20 years of friendship!"

"Congratulations to Brother Xu on his successful promotion to head of the branch office! His annual salary is 800,000!"

"Brother Xu, let me raise a glass to you! Congratulations on your promotion to general manager!"

"Don't be so formal, we're all classmates, let's not stand on ceremony. I'll drink this first as a sign of respect!"

"I heard Brother Zhao got a new car again? Wow, a high-end new energy vehicle worth 500,000 yuan, not bad at all~"

It was right next to the private room where Wang Yueheng was.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and lively chatter, bursts of excited chatter frequently broke out.

A group of middle-aged men and women in their forties have gathered here for a reunion of their college classmates, 20 years after graduation.

Among them were well-dressed, portly government or business elites, as well as simply dressed office workers.

Although there was no deliberate division of seats, everyone was still clearly divided into several tables and sat down.

Or they might be discussing which old classmate has been promoted to CEO or government leader.

Or they might be gossiping about how the school beauty, who couldn't attend the party, has been divorced several times and is now living a miserable and unhappy life.

"Give me a kiss, give me a kiss~"

"Oh~~~"

"One more hug!"...

Those former couples who secretly loved each other during their student days but couldn't end up together.

Fueled by the alcohol, they hugged or made various ambiguous gestures amidst the cheers of the crowd, which frequently drew laughter and applause from the onlookers.

"Old Zhao, we were best friends back in school, this toast is for you!"

"I hope my old classmate will continue to help me out and take care of my disappointing younger brother in the future~"

Some low-level employees who were unhappy with their lives wanted to use this class reunion to climb the social ladder.

At this moment, he is holding a wine glass and wandering among his old classmates who are riding high, warmly toasting them, reminiscing, and getting closer to them.

We are all ordinary people born into this world.

"Toiling away all day long, never a moment's rest..."

However, a sudden burst of unfamiliar yet fast-paced music drifted through the walls and into the lively class reunion.

A familiar duet by a man and a woman broke the noise, its clear voices reaching everyone's ears.

"Huh? Where's that singing coming from?"

"That voice sounds so familiar..."

Those who had been chatting and laughing with their glasses in hand gradually quieted down.

He subconsciously turned his head to look towards the window, his face blank.
