Girls in rainbow-colored feather dresses walked briskly down the stairs leading to the backstage like butterflies. The relatively narrow space was filled with the fragrance of cosmetics that could make people's heart beat faster.
These beautiful girls had just finished a dance performance, and the applause in the auditorium had not yet subsided. They were talking and laughing, and the sweat on their foreheads was mixed with gold powder, shining under the light of the wall lamps.
Lu Chen, with his guitar, politely turned sideways and pressed his back against the wooden wall to make way for them.
Several girls looked at Lu Chen curiously and kept walking past him.
Leaving a string of silver bell-like laughter.
On the stage outside, the host was announcing: "Thank you for the wonderful performance of the 24 beautiful girls just now. The next program is from the computer science application major, a male solo …"
"His name is Lu Chen, let's welcome him to the stage with applause!"
As soon as his voice fell, Lu Chen, who was already standing at the exit of the stage, immediately stepped forward and stood under the spotlight.
Facing nearly ten thousand alumni and teachers at the scene, he showed a confident smile.
After the baptism of the Light Blue Music Carnival, even in the face of a large audience, Lu Chen would not be nervous.
He believed in his own song.
Applause rang out. Although it wasn't very enthusiastic, many students still gave face to him.
In particular, Lu Chen's classmates were desperately clapping their hands, and the loud whistling sound was very professional.
Lu Chen was tall and handsome. His family used to be rich, but he did not have the kind of playboy of a rich family. Moreover, he was usually very willing to help others, so his popularity among his classmates has always been quite good.
Many people knew about the changes in Lu Chen's family, and they also knew that he ran out early to work to make money. Their applause was their support and admiration for Lu Chen, because it was not easy to do what he did.
In seat number 19 of the 37th row of He Liang Great Auditorium, Wang Ying raised her hand and clapped twice, then immediately put it down.
She stared at Lu Chen standing in the center of the stage and suddenly felt that the latter was very strange.
The girl sitting next to Wang Ying quietly leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Why, do you still miss him?"
Wang Ying shook her head blankly.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. They had broken up for so long, and the two of them had made it clear.
But there was always an emotion lingering in his heart!
The girl next door advised earnestly, "Don't think too much about it since we've already split up! What's the use of being handsome now? With your qualifications, you can totally find someone better than him. For example, that Chen Peng is very good. "
Wang Ying frowned and said, "He and I have already passed, and I didn't think much about it."
The girl next door chuckled and said, "That's right. For us girls, finding a suitable husband is the most important thing. It's so tiring to work hard in society. The housing prices in Hangzhou are so expensive. It's not worth it to suffer with a handsome guy!"
Wang Ying listened to it in one ear and out the other. She didn't know where her mind had drifted.
At this moment, Lu Chen was speaking into the microphone and said, "Thank you for your applause. The song I'm going to sing here tonight is written by myself, and it's the first time I'm singing it in public."
"I'll give this song to all the girls, all the junior sisters and senior sisters. Because it's because of you that Jianghai University is a truly beautiful campus. I wish you will always be young and beautiful!"
There were countless laughter in the auditorium, and many girls applauded again, more enthusiastic applause.
Most of the boys were envious, jealous, and hateful, and there was no lack of secretly cursing.
Using original works to please girls? You're dreaming. If you don't sing well, you'll be booed off the stage – let's see if you can act cool.
Handsome guys, especially handsome guys who can play the guitar, are the most annoying!
However, Lu Chen did not feel the resentment from the single people. He turned his head and gave a thumbs up to the director on the sidelines, indicating that he could start.
After a while, the image of the new song's music video appeared on the huge screen behind Lu Chen.
He gently plucked the strings and played the prelude, gently and softly.
The first thing that appeared on the LED screen was the virtual scenery of Jianghai University, and then the silhouettes of girls accompanied by sketched flowers quietly appeared, setting off the four hand-painted artistic words – those flowers.
"That laughter reminds me of my flowers,
Quietly blooming for me in every corner of my life.
I thought I would always stay by her side,
Today we've left in the vast sea of people.
Are they all old?
Where are they?
Just like this, we run to the ends of the world!
La … Miss her.
La … Is she still blooming?
La … Go!
They've been blown away by the wind, scattered to the ends of the world!
… … "
A touch of sadness, a touch of nostalgia, a low singing about the past. Lu Chen's playing was simple and concise, but the beautiful melody and lyrics made this song have the power to hit the heart.
Especially those girls, they looked at the familiar or unfamiliar photos that appeared in the music video on the big screen. Those were the memories of their youth, those running, hugging, jumping, playing …
The past reappeared in front of their eyes, happy, sad, sweet, excited …
They were about to graduate, about to be blown away by the wind, scattered to the ends of the world!
"… …
Some stories haven't been told yet, so let's forget it,
Those feelings have been difficult to distinguish between true and false in the years.
Now the weeds are overgrown here, and there are no flowers,
Fortunately, I once had your spring and autumn, winter and summer.
La … Miss her.
La … Is she still blooming?
La … Go!
They've been blown away by the wind, scattered to the ends of the world.
Are they all old?
Where are they?
Just like this, we run to the ends of the world!
… … "
The auditorium, which can accommodate thousands of spectators, was very quiet. There was no applause, no laughter, no talking. Everyone was listening, listening to Lu Chen's singing.
Some girls were already sobbing.
The song aroused the romantic hope and the involuntary sadness in their hearts. Like dandelion flowers that bloomed unexpectedly in the right time and place, their souls seemed to be lost along with the fluttering flower catkins and could never be recovered.
Lu Chen played and hummed, memories surged.
The flower that left the most profound mark in his life was his senior sister, Wan.
She appeared at the time when Lu Chen was at his lowest. At that time, his father had just passed away, and he broke up with Wang Ying. After experiencing great changes in his life, he was decadent and gloomy like a walking corpse.
And Wan's appearance, like a bright sunshine, dispelled the darkness and haze in Lu Chen's heart. She used her tenderness to soothe Lu Chen's wounded heart, so that Lu Chen finally got rid of his depression and faced life again with a strong will.
But Lu Chen couldn't keep Wan. After graduation, she emigrated to England with her family.
Even Lu Chen's best friends didn't know about this relationship, and he didn't tell anyone.
He had always suppressed it in his heart.
Today, he sang this song here, precisely for Wan.
Her photo was also in the MV, smiling brightly!
"… …
Are they all old?
Where are they?
Just like this, we run to the ends of the world!
… … "
Unknowingly, Lu Chen's eyes were wet with tears. He had never sung so emotionally, and his voice was choked.
In the audience, many girls had already burst into tears. They either sobbed alone, or hugged each other to comfort each other, wantonly venting the emotions that were aroused in their hearts.
Wang Ying bit her lips, and the look in her eyes was extremely complicated.
Intuition told her that this song of Lu Chen was sung for his most beloved person.
That person was not her.
She was also moved by the song, but when she thought of this, her heart seemed to be bitten by a poisonous snake. Strong jealousy and pain, as if she had lost her most cherished treasure!
The picture of the MV was finally fixed on a photo.
On a drizzling afternoon, in the depths of the old streets and alleys, the silhouette of a gentle and moving woman holding a paper umbrella.
The dense water vapor made the lens hazy, and it was impossible to capture her true face.
But that beauty, like an orchid in an empty valley, was destined to become one of the most profound memories of all the witnesses.
Lu Chen finished singing.
He straightened his chest and said to the microphone, "Those flowers, thank you everyone!"
He wanted to thank all the flowers that appeared in his 22-year-old life.
Because of their existence, life is wonderful!
