Chapter 25 It's a very cheerful song, why are you all crying?
While Huang Xiaoyun was performing on stage, Li Shen took an A4 sheet of paper, quickly drew several track lines, marked the core chords, and drew the rhythm pattern... The simple route map was completed in no time.
This is a song with a light rhythm and simple lyrics, so simple that there are only four lines of lyrics, which are sung repeatedly.
In its previous life, it was considered an obscure song by the general public, but if you have ever been to Lijiang, you must have heard it by chance.
For example, singers performing in bars, or the sound systems playing in small shops on the street.
As a legendary song from the Lijiang River region, this song has become one of the calling cards of Lijiang culture.
After familiarizing themselves with the route map, everyone began to distribute the musical instruments.
Li Shen (guitar), Liang Song (bass), Lao Huang (drums), Huang Xiaoyun (hand drums).
The most ingenious part of this song's instrumental arrangement is the use of the hand drum.
In Lijiang's past life, almost every small shop selling hand drums played this song.
Li Shen picked up his guitar, tuned the strings, and looked at the few scattered listeners in the small bar.
"This song is first dedicated to Tangtang, then to everyone, and finally to myself."
Yes, it's for him.
Since he has chosen to live out his days alone, let music heal his life's imperfections!
I really want to have a baby like Tangtang, but I can only dream about it in songs.
"I'm sharing 'Little Baby' with everyone."
Li Shen's fingers skillfully strummed the strings, and at the same time, the bass sounded and the drums came in.
The hand drum was also struck at the same time.
The cheerful and crisp intro instantly captivated everyone's ears.
Tian Xiwei's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
Li Shen began to sing, his face beaming with a bright smile, his voice warm and cheerful:
"Looking forward to your return, my little darling."
I'm looking forward to your hug, my little darling.
How I long to hold your hand and lie on that little hillside.
I'll listen quietly as you recount your happy memories.
The entire song consists of only these four simple lines of lyrics, sung repeatedly.
Tian Xiwei's body swayed slightly to the music.
She thought it was indeed a good song.
The whole song is light and cheerful, with a simple and catchy melody. The embellishment of the hand drum is a brilliant touch.
Six years ago, he was just a music enthusiast, and now he can write his own songs?!
Moreover, it's written in such a beautiful way?
But why are there only four lines of lyrics?
The four lines of lyrics are repeated over and over again. Isn't that too simple?
Huang Shengyi wrapped her arm around Tian Xiwei's and whispered, "Xiao Tian, you should forgive him!"
Tian Xiwei looked at her blankly: "Huh?"
"He's already sung 'Little Baby' to express his feelings to you, so give him a way out."
"ah?!"
"Li Shen is a typical straight man, stubborn but soft-hearted, and shy about expressing his feelings. This song is probably a hint of his greatest courage."
"ah?!!"
Huang Shengyi chuckled: "Xiao Tian, you're still too young; you don't understand the romance of a clueless straight man!"
Tian Xiwei's bewildered eyes stared back at the stage.
"Looking forward to your return, my little darling."
Looking forward to your hug, my little baby…
Six years later, he bravely appeared on the show. Does he really want to win me back?
So, by feigning amnesia and creating a new persona, he severed ties with his former, despicable self in order to win me back in a completely new way.
If he wasn't faking amnesia, but genuinely had amnesia, and at this very moment, without his memories, he's fallen in love with me?
In short, regardless of the situation, he was subtly expressing his desire for me through this song.
But he didn't rap for me!
He gave this song to Tangtang, to himself, to everyone, but he didn't give it to me!
Oh right, I'm one of them too.
Is this how convoluted the romance of a straight man is?
"Looking forward to your return, my little darling."
I'm looking forward to your hug, my little darling.
How I long to hold your hand and lie on that little hillside.
I'll listen quietly as you recount your happy memories.
These simple four lines of lyrics kept resonating in Tian Xiwei's heart, and as Li Shen sang them repeatedly, her emotions layered upon layer.
With each rendition, an emotion is layered upon another, and the intensity of feeling accumulates infinitely through repeated chanting.
Tian Xiwei's big, adorable eyes gradually brightened.
Suddenly, Li Shen's gaze as he looked at her appeared in those bright, sparkling eyes.
Tian Xiwei's delicate nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears.
But it was too late! Everything was too late!
Mr. Tian is determined to leave; you can't stop him!
After finishing the last part of the song, Li Shen put down his guitar: "Thank you everyone, I wish you all happiness and joy, I wish you all, hmm?"
Li Shen looked down:
Tian Xiwei's eyes were red.
Huang Shengyi was also wiping away tears with a tissue.
Li Shen was completely bewildered. He had clearly sung a happy song, so why were the two of them crying?
Huang Shengyi turned around and hugged Tian Xiwei: "I'm touched. Please give him a chance."
With tears welling in her eyes, Tian Xiwei sighed softly, "But belated affection is as cheap as grass."
"What if he gives you lots of grass?"
Li Shen walked towards the bar.
At this moment, Zhang Ruonan was sitting here, holding a pen in her hand. Her diary was filled with her observations as she observed the situation of the guests.
Li Shen sat down next to her, frowning as he asked, "Was Tian Xiwei crying?!"
"Almost, but I held back."
"Who upset her?"
"Nobody provoked her."
Li Shen breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, then it's alright."
Zhang Ruonan carefully observed Li Shen's expression just now; it was such a serious expression.
That's the kind of expression that says, "Whoever dares to bully my girlfriend, I'll make them pay."
Write this down!
Zhang Ruonan quietly wrote a line in her diary: Fragment of the wife-protecting maniac, +1.
Huang Shengyi, carrying two cups of iced cola, swayed her slender waist as she walked over, handed one to Li Shen, and asked with reddened eyes, "Shenzi, Xiaotian almost made you cry with her singing, why didn't you go and comfort her?"
"I'm not good at comforting girls. By the way, why are you two so emotionally charged while listening to music?"
Huang Shengyi squinted at him: "Oh~~~ You didn't know?"
Li Shen shook his head.
Huang Shengyi raised an eyebrow and smiled.
This is a master of playing hard to get.
Let's see what he does next.
"I don't know either, cheers."
"Cheers."
After finishing his drink, Li Shen pondered Huang Shengyi's micro-expressions and suddenly realized something.
Holy crap, Tian Xiwei didn't get the wrong idea about the song "Little Baby," did she?
She wouldn't think that she sang this song to beg her to come back to her, would she?
Yes, I will.
After carefully studying the lyrics, Li Shen wiped his old face!
"Little baby" is the most common term of endearment between couples, and the lyrics of this song perfectly capture their situation.
Isn't this a misunderstanding?
Hey!
Just as Li Shen was sighing, Huang Xiaoyun timidly appeared in front of him.
She nervously clenched her little hands: "Teacher Li, can I add you on WeChat?"
She was quite amazed by the song "Slowly" on yesterday's program.
She was deeply moved when she witnessed Li Shen's declaration of love at the scene.
Li Shen is an original musician with rich emotions!
While he's just starting to gain popularity in the music industry, hurry up and latch onto his coattails!
So, Huang Xiaoyun mustered her courage and approached him with trepidation.
Seeing Li Shen looking at her with a puzzled expression, she quickly explained the reason:
"I'd like to add you on WeChat so I can get your guidance and instruction in music. It would be an even greater honor if I could sing your songs in the future."
"How can you sing, sing, sing with such a stutter?"
Huang Xiaoyun blushed: "Huh?"
Huang Shengyi laughed and said, "Shenzi, don't tease that young girl!"
"I don't usually stutter, but I'm so nervous seeing you today."
Li Shen asked in confusion, "Why are you so nervous about seeing me?"
"Who can tell you're not nervous?" Huang Shengyi laughed. "Don't even mention young girls, my heart pounds when I see you about to open your mouth to speak."
At this moment, Huang Xiaoyun's phone had timidly moved to Li Shen's side, displaying the WeChat interface.
"Sorry, the production team doesn't allow us to use our phones. Can you add me on WeChat? I'll accept your request another day."
"good!"
On stage, Li Hangliang began to play his guitar.
Li Hangliang was visibly agitated, ready to unleash his full power.
At the same time, the sound of the bar door opening could be heard.
Yoko stood at the door, muttering to herself, "Closed for business? What a load of rubbish! Come on in and have some fun!"
Only by breaking the rules can you get screen time!
In variety shows, and even in the entertainment industry, being ignored or forgotten is more terrifying than being criticized.
Yoko, the rule-breaker of the show, took down the "Closed" sign and opened the glass door.
Tourists on the street stopped to watch when they saw Yoko, who was not wearing a mask or sunglasses.
Inside the bar.
Li Shen quickly put on a mask and sunglasses: "Old Huang, I'm leaving now."
"Shinko, where are you going?"
"Run! If we don't leave now, we won't be able to escape soon."
The small ancient town of Lijiang receives around 20 visitors daily.
The streets are narrow and crowded with tourists. Without security, it would be difficult for them to leave once they get stuck here.
Without hesitation, Li Shen turned and left.
As a top influencer, Tian Xiwei instantly understood Li Shen's worries. Seeing Li Shen disappear into the crowd, she quickly followed him.
The other guests remained unmoved, not because Li Hangliang was still singing, but because they needed some extra "liveliness".
Some people are afraid of traffic, while others are afraid of not having any traffic.
When Liang Song saw Yoko open the door, his eyes lit up. Seeing Li Shen and Tian Xiwei leave together, he became even more excited.
With these two controversial figures around, when will it be his turn to shine as an unknown rapper?
Now that Li Shen and Tian Xiwei have left, he's going to enjoy all that massive traffic all to himself!
With a flick of his dreadlocks, Liang Song unleashed a furious bass performance.
……
When Li Shen reached the door, tourists had already begun to gather.
He parted the crowd, pulled down his hat brim, and walked quickly with his head down.
Seeing this, Tian Xiwei followed suit, also pressing her hat down.
After walking quite a distance and turning into a small alley, tourists finally started to appear sporadically.
"Tian, let me explain. 'Little Baby' wasn't sung for you. Please don't misunderstand."
"understood."
"This song isn't for you, really."
"I already said I understand. Li, why are you so nervous?"
"I'm not nervous, I'm meticulous..."
The more Li Shen explained, the stranger Tian Xiwei's expression became.
Li Shen suddenly realized that she might think he was trying to cover something up.
They walked for a while longer.
Tian Xiwei asked quietly, "Li, are you a dead straight man?"
"You're wrong about that, and I have a strong opinion about it! If you're a straight man, why do you have to add the word 'dead' to it?"
"Okay then, no problem. Hehe."
"Tian, when we just walked out of the bar, did you hear someone call out 'Li Gou'?"
"I didn't hear that."
Why did that person call Li Hangliang "Li Dog"?
VJ Xiao Wang, who was filming the scene: "Hehehe~~~"
Tian Xiwei: "I don't know. By the way, aren't you also surnamed Li?"
Li Shen suddenly stopped, frowning, and said, "That's right, my surname is also Li!"
"Could you be referring to you?"
"You...you...you're exaggerating!"
Continuing to walk briskly forward, Li pondered deeply:
"I'm not a dog, how could it be me? Right?"
"When a person asks a question in response, seeking the other person's approval, it is often a sign of insecurity."
"you……"
"Hmph!" Tian Xiwei raised her pretty chin, put her hands behind her back, straightened her chest and walked proudly into the moonlight.
The two of them analyzed the issue of "Li Gou's" attribution all the way.
VJ Xiao Wang, who was filming, was happy the whole way: "Hehehe~~~"
……
Over here at the bar.
The glass door was closed again by the production team, keeping the tourists outside.
Inside the bar, Li Hangliang sang with abandon!
When he sang about heartbreak, Li Hangliang's eyes filled with tears, and his voice was hoarse, touching everyone's hearts.
The small bar was surrounded by a large crowd of people, three or four deep.
"Li Shen's performance this time is different from his style in yesterday's live broadcast."
"The styles are indeed different. Last night's performance was comforting, but tonight's performance is roaring and cathartic. Last night's performance was for the wounded, but tonight's performance is the wounded making their accusations."
"Li Shen's performance tonight was even more immersive, more heart-wrenching, more hysterical, and more desperate! It's also more suited to the style of short video platforms!"
"I'm going to post this online; Li Shen's version is sure to be a hit!"
"Li Shen can effortlessly handle two different musical styles; his singing skills are amazing!"
……
People outside were pushing and shoving their way in.
Some of the audience members shook their heads and left in disappointment.
"Make way, don't push. It's not Li Shen inside, it's Li Hangliang."
"Don't push your way in, it's not Li Shen."
"Sweetie isn't here either, don't push your way in."
"I've already posted short videos, and I've gained over 1 followers. You're telling me it's not Li Shen? It is!"
……
Inside the bar.
Tears, flow slowly, then dry slowly.
They gradually became friends.
Lonely nights, endured alone.
... "
The lyrics echoed in Mai Lin's ears, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Love angel Zhang Ruonan gently patted her shoulder: "As long as you can recognize your mistakes and communicate actively, everything will be alright."
"I know."
As Li Hangliang stepped off the stage, he saw his wife in tears and hugged her tightly, saying, "Baby, don't cry."
"Waaaaah, Liangzi, I know you sang this song especially for me."
"Um... I guess so."
"Liangzi, you finally know where you went wrong, you finally understand me."
Li Hangliang's lips twitched: "???"
"You finally realize how little I've been worn down by you, how little you've hurt me. You finally realize that my heart is slowly dying..."
Zhang Ruonan: "??!!"
Zhang Ruonan felt as if the wings of her love angel had been pierced by Merlin's spear.
Yoko frowned and looked around for Li Shen.
Where's Dog Bro?
Old Huang stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.
What the hell... what did I just hear?
Originally, Lao Huang felt that Li Shen's statement tonight, "We can't bring evil into the world," was a bit too much, and his criticism was a bit harsh.
But right now!
Old Huang just felt that Li Shen's insults were too conservative, far too conservative!
Every word Li Shen said to her was clearly too mild!
Mai Lin looked at Li Hangliang with deep affection: "Husband, you finally understand me."
"I..." Li Hangliang pushed up his glasses, looking at Lao Huang with a dejected expression, "I'm so upset, I wanted to sing it one more time!"
Old Huang stared wide-eyed: "Alright! Band ready, let's start the tune!"
In the new version of "Slowly," Li Hangliang practically threw away his vocal cords, singing hysterically and with heart-wrenching intensity. The entire song lacked technique; it was all about despair!
This little children's concert lasted from 6 p.m. until late at night.
Li Hangliang sang "Slowly" twice, interspersed throughout the song. By the end, even tourists near and far outside the door could sing along to the chorus.
……
Late at night, the guests walked on the way to the guesthouse.
Mai Lin wrapped her arm around Li Hangliang's, overjoyed.
The song "Slowly" brought Li Hangliang to his hoarseness and healed Mai Lin.
Mai Lin: "Honey, when you were singing, it sounded like someone outside shouted 'Li Gou' (a derogatory term for a certain type of person). Why did they call you Li Gou?"
Li Hangliang gave a wry smile and didn't dare to answer.
Maybe he's not as happy as a single person!
Ok?
Why did he think of the term "single dog"?
Is he reminiscing about his single years? Or does he want to be single again?
