Chapter 37 Nothing More Than That
The song "Painting" was sung by G.E.M. in the original world. It is a love song as simple and direct as a watercolor painting.
Tenderness and attachment are its brushes, longing is painted, expectations are painted.
Looking at this colorful painting, please believe in the inspiration of love.
It sounds great with just pure piano accompaniment.
Therefore, this song was once very popular in the original world, and it also became the background music for short videos that flooded Tik Tok.
Gu Qingge chose this song just for You Ruoyu. She didn't believe that You Ruoyu would fail with such a simple piano accompaniment.
The length of this song is only 2 minutes and 48 seconds, which is very short. "Little Love Song" is 4 minutes and 33 seconds long.
Logically speaking, a song like "Painting" is more suitable for quiet solo singing rather than for performance at a cultural evening party, because it is not exciting enough and cannot rock the place.
But Gu Qingge still chose it, and she made it clear that she was singing it only for You Ruoyu.
From beginning to end, she never forgot that she went to sing at the cultural evening in order to complete the task entrusted by You Ruoyu.
She doesn't care at all whether she can stand out, whether she will be outdone by other singers, or whether the audience likes her performance.
Gu Qingge told You Ruoyu about his thoughts, and hoped that she would not think too much about it.
You Ruoyu doesn't play the piano for the audience. In her eyes, just having Gu Qingge is enough.
"I understand. I feel very confident now." You Ruoyu said with full energy.
After listening to Gu Qingge's song "Painting", she felt that her whole body was infused with positive energy and warm.
She had just memorized the melody of the song "Painting", but she still had to ask Gu Qingge to fill in the lyrics.
You Ruoyu now seemed to understand what kind of songs Gu Qingge was good at composing, which was this kind of love songs with catchy melodies.
It's not complicated at all, and it's not particularly professional or high-end, but it just sounds good.
Some listeners who think they have style may dislike these songs as clichés.
Of course You Ruoyu wouldn't do that. She liked these popular Douyin songs and even asked Gu Qingge to sing songs like "Learn to Meow" for her.
Anyway, she was already impressed by Gu Qingge's talent. She thought that he was so spiritual that even a simple love song he wrote could sound so beautiful.
In the next few days, Gu Qingge and You Ruoyu were almost inseparable after school, and they polished the song "Painting" to perfection.
"Painting" also registered the copyright, which is a basic operation.
You Ruoyu actually wanted to make some complicated arrangements, but was politely declined by Gu Qingge.
She thought it was fine to keep it simple and there was no need to increase the difficulty of the accompaniment.
In addition, the school’s sound system is actually very average, not even as good as the one in You Ruoyu’s piano room.
In this case, simplicity is actually an advantage.
There have been students who thought they were the little princes of high notes and sang high notes on the school stage, but the results were terrible, it was like a car accident scene.
You Ruoyu's relationship with Gu Qingge has also made great progress these days. She has even given Gu Qingge a special nickname - Gege.
She shamelessly and softly called Gu Qingge "Ge Ge". People who didn't know her would think she had found a "lover".
However, it must be admitted that a girl like Gu Qingge can give You Ruoyu, who is also a girl, a sense of security.
You Ruoyu felt that Gu Qingge was particularly opinionated. For example, when the two of them made an appointment to go out for dinner after school, You Ruoyu would always say "whatever", while Gu Qingge would think about it and then give a clear destination.
You Ruoyu also felt that Gu Qingge was a very resolute and decisive girl. She was very straightforward when rejecting others and didn't worry about offending anyone at all.
Gu Qingge also has a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts, making it impossible for her to lie in front of Gu Qingge. Fortunately, she is not a person who likes to lie. She has been very honest from the beginning.
If You Ruoyu is not sincere, there will be no commissioned task, and a task-obsessed person like Gu Qingge will most likely reject the other party.
"Gege, I kind of regret going to Zhongyi. It would have been great if I had gone to Huayi as well. Then we could go to the same university and maybe even form a rock band." You Ruoyu said with a look of regret.
"Xiaoyu, you have been practicing piano since you were a child. Why do you want to form a rock band? It seems that it is completely inconsistent with your soft and literary style." Gu Qingge complained.
"But I just like that kind of explosive and wild music, and I can play the guitar just as well as the piano.
If we form a band, I will be the lead guitarist, you will be the lead singer, and we can be a part-time rhythm guitarist. Then we can find a bassist, keyboardist, and drummer, and we'll be done.
I just don’t know if you can write rock-style music…”
You Ruoyu said in a longing tone, it seems that she really wants to form a rock band.
"Rock music... seems interesting. Of course I can write it as long as inspiration comes." Gu Qingge, who has the god-level skill "Apocalypse", is so confident.
You Ruoyu likes Gu Qingge’s confident look. Maybe this is the mutual admiration between geniuses.
"Oh, Gege, I'm looking forward to your rock music! So Gege, what do you want to do after you go to college?" You Ruoyu asked curiously.
Gu Qingge thought about the current system main task, and she said jokingly, "I want to form an idol group and debut as an idol."
This time, You Ruoyu complained: "Gege, are you kidding me? You're a creative genius with a great voice. Honestly, you could debut with a single by now, so why did you choose to be an idol?"
Gu Qingge thought to herself that I had the obsessive-compulsive disorder of a gamer. Seeing that the main quest was there and the quest rewards were so generous, why didn't she complete it?
After it's done, she can stop being an idol if she wants to, it doesn't matter.
"Xiaoyu, you are being hypocritical. You have been learning classical piano since elementary school and want to join a rock band. But I can't learn singing and dancing and join a girl group. I am studying in the Performance Department of Huayi University and I will become an actor." Gu Qingge said with a smile.
You Ruoyu was surprised. She had subconsciously thought that Gu Qingge had taken the exam for the "Vocal Music Department" because Gu Qingge's singing was really beautiful, his voice was very recognizable, and he was also good at composition. All of these combined would make Gu Qingge have a bright future in the music industry.
"Ah... well, Gege, you are awesome." You Ruoyu exclaimed in admiration.
"I just like to hear you tell the truth."
"Gege, you are so narcissistic."
"lie."
"Alas?"
…
Time passed quickly, and the Labor Day cultural evening party in Hanzhong Province arrived as scheduled.
A school cultural evening like this is, after all, of a modest scale, lasting a little over three hours, and the school schedules it from 6:30 to 10:00 in the evening.
So the rehearsal was all done that afternoon.
Gu Qingge and You Ruoyu were not serious during the rehearsal and just casually hung out, but were noticed by some people who were also participating in the performance.
"That's it? It seems like Gu Qingge is just so-so."
