Chapter 43 Soul Tracing
Looking at the caller ID on the screen, Luo Wei paused, made a gesture to Xie Yuchen, then walked out of the ward and went to the corridor to answer the phone.
The cell phone on the bedside table buzzed. Xie Yuchen reached for the phone and glanced down.
It was a message from my personal assistant.
[Xie Shao, the information of the young master of the Luo family has been found. ]
This message is followed by a file.
An unread notification happened to pop up at the top of the screen. It was a Weibo post from his secondary Weibo account.
Xie Yuchen lowered his eyes, with an incomprehensible and obscure emotion in his eyes.
He did not click on the document sent by his personal assistant immediately, but clicked on Weibo.
His secondary account didn't even follow his main account, but followed Su Qiyan.
I follow one and only one person, but I still set up a special follow button because I’m afraid of missing out on his or her Weibo.
At first, it was because I wanted to investigate Su Qiyan, but as things progressed to this point, my emotions became complicated.
The moment he clicked on Weibo, he didn't have so many thoughts in his mind. He just wanted to see what the other party had posted.
The third generation trainee of Wangyue Entertainment-Su Qiyan:
[I saw all your support at the music festival today, you guys really put in so much effort! By the way, here are the fan benefits I promised you~ [So happy][Wow][Haha][Love you][Hug][Not simple][Thinking][Snickering][Looking forward to]#Su Qiyan[Super Topic]##Moon Entertainment Third Generation Trainee-Su Qiyan's Weibo Video#]
A string of emoticons were posted one after another, which was a significant change compared to Su Qiyan’s usual posting style of an old cadre without any cute emoticons.
Xie Yuchen remembered that Su Qiyan had previously posted on Weibo saying in advance that there would be a fan benefit soon.
He previously created a dance choreography of his own as a gift to his fans, and Xie Yuchen's inner guess about this fan benefit was also in this direction.
With this curious guess in mind, Xie Yuchen put on his headphones, and the moment the Bluetooth was connected, he couldn't wait to click on the video.
"Hello, soda guys!" The video begins with Su Qiyan's face suddenly enlarging in front of the camera. He is very close to the camera, and while greeting the camera, he adjusts the position of his phone.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I recorded this video a day in advance and wanted to post it for everyone to see after the music festival is over."
He did not directly reveal what the fan benefits were this time, but kept it a secret.
"Guess what benefit I have prepared for you this time?"
Xie Yuchen in front of the screen couldn't help but answer: "Dance."
"Did you all guess the dance?" The "Su Qiyan" on the other side of the camera had already adjusted the position of his phone. He leaned back in his chair, smiling ostentatiously and unrestrainedly.
"That's wrong~" He shook his head, stretched out an index finger, and shook it mischievously with an expression that showed he had expected it.
"What is that?" Xie Yuchen frowned and spoke in confusion.
"Surprise!" The boy on the other side of the camera shouted, revealing the answer, "I wrote a song for you!"
Xie Yuchen suddenly recalled what Luo Wei had said to him, that he could write lyrics. This sentence and the image of Luo Wei singing during the highlight part of the performance appeared perfectly in his mind.
His heartbeat suddenly stopped, his pupils shrank sharply, and the look he gave the phone screen was less filled with doubt and speculation, and more filled with curiosity and exploration than before.
The progress bar in the video is not even one-fifth of the way through. This is a long video of no less than five minutes.
A hint of interest appeared in Xie Yuchen's eyes.
Su Qiyan in the video continued: "How is it? Are you surprised or not?"
This time, Xie Yuchen did not answer again. He finally broke away from the role of spectator and began to observe seriously and attentively.
He bent down and picked up a guitar from the side. He casually plucked it twice to make sure it was in good condition. Then he turned his eyes to the mobile phone screen on the table.
"This is an original song that I wrote and composed myself. My fans in front of the screen, Soda, you are the first to hear this song."
Xie Yuchen looked carefully at the guitar in his hand. He remembered that Su Qiyan didn't have any musical instrument.
I guess he borrowed it from Qiao Hen.
The boy in the video has already started playing the guitar in his hand. His movements are very familiar and judging by his skillful playing technique, Xie Yuchen estimates that he has practiced playing the guitar for no less than two years.
But he had been working at Wangyue Entertainment for two years and had never seen Su Qiyan play the guitar. The only talent Su Qiyan filled in on his personal information form was dancing.
No songwriting or guitar playing.
The soft light in the room sprinkled on his black hair as he lowered his head. The music became melodious, with a lyrical undertone. The young man spoke slowly with a smile on his face.
No matter how you look at it, he's a gentle young man living a peaceful life.
Xie Yuchen really found it difficult to combine the lively and smiling boy in the video with the Su Qiyan of the past.
A song started to sound in the video, and Luo Wei had already started singing the lyrics. Xie Yuchen was forced to interrupt his random guesses and listened carefully.
"I stood in the fog, searching."
“I see butterflies fluttering among the flowers, while I am standing still.”
"Look at the high platform rising in the distance, and everyone in front of and behind the stage is looking up to it."
“And I looked back and realized I was one of them.”
"I have so much to say but nowhere to tell, so much love but nowhere to place."
"I really, sincerely hope that you are well, that you shine brightly, that you build tall buildings from the ground up, and that wherever you look, you see the vast stars."
"Before I wished you a bright future, now I will help you rise to the top."
"I'm different from him. I really like you."
"Don't talk about love. Love doesn't need to be repaid. I just feel like I owe you something that I can never repay."
Every sentence is hope and every sentence is a blessing.
The lyrics were well-written, and every word was full of true feelings. Xie Yuchen's eyes moved slightly, as if he was somewhat moved.
The playing and singing of this song continues.
"But I'm not a fool who only loves you and not myself."
"I'm not a fool who can't keep a secret. I'm a coward who doesn't want to hide it from you."
"I don't want to dwell on the ambiguity on the surface. I want to explore the pain behind the broken bones and blood."
"Come on, question me."
"I only need to trace back the one in ten million behind the soul."
"It's raining heavily outside the window. I'm just waiting for a soul tracing that belongs to me alone."
After the song ended, the video seemed to remain still. Xie Yuchen waited quietly for five seconds following the video. When he was about to click on the screen to see if the video was over, the boy seemed to have been pulled out of the song.
He looked towards the camera, his eyes still gentle, reflecting the brilliance under the indoor lights. Perhaps because he had just sung a lyrical song, his eyes were tinged with a desolate melancholy.
"Thank you for listening. I named this song Soul Tracing. There may be some changes later."
"I hope that the fans who hear this song, my sodas, will not be cowards who are afraid to love, but step forward bravely, trace back to the source, and pursue the soul that they love."
