Chapter 79 presents everyone with a song, "Later".
When Chen Yuan heard that Zhang Jianjian really wanted to be a singer, he became interested.
"Sure, I'll listen to you sing sometime and then write a song just for you."
"....."
"Is it that amazing? It can even be customized to your specifications?" Zhang Jianjian asked in astonishment.
"Of course." Chen Yuan nodded. If Zhang Jianjian sang well, that would be an option.
After all, we need to monetize these songs; we can't let this treasure trove go to waste!
Soon, the dance ended.
The two walked towards the rest area. It was already 9:30, and there probably wasn't enough time left for any further activities.
Chen Yuan went to the rest area and found a seat.
On the other side, Su Qingyuan and the others were holding Zhang Jianjian and whispering something.
"I've been calculating the time, it's already the third day." After sitting down, Chen Yuan looked out the window behind him. It was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.
The Tensei has been sailing for two days and is scheduled to arrive in Kagoshima on Friday night.
Island nation!
He hasn't been there yet, but the entertainment industry there should be very strong. After all, on Earth, the early music scene was basically popularized by covers of Japanese songs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there's one last segment tonight. Let's welcome our most popular male guest to the stage to showcase his talent!"
Suddenly, a voice came over the loudspeaker.
The next moment, everyone in the rest area was a little confused. The most popular?
Everyone looked at each other, and finally all turned their attention to Chen Yuan. This time, it was rare that Lu Zeyan and the others also agreed that Chen Yuan was the most popular one.
"What are you looking at? It's you," Meng Shuran said with a smile.
"Huh?" Chen Yuan was stunned. How come he didn't know he was the most popular?
"You've danced with all five female guests tonight, aren't you the most popular? Come on up, Leopard Print Guy."
"..."
Chen Yuan was speechless. In a sense, he was indeed the most popular person tonight, as everyone danced with him because of his bizarre outfit.
Because they all felt that this would be a scene that would attract a lot of attention.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Yuan had no choice but to get up and walk towards the stage, where he saw a piano that had been placed there at some point.
"Piano, guitar, or accompaniment?" the voice on the radio asked.
Chen Yuan looked at the piano in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down. "Let's use the piano then." It just so happens that Zhang Jianjian wanted to sing, and he had just thought of a song.
Zhang Jianjian has a gentle voice; there's a song that, in terms of singing alone, is truly versatile and suitable for him.
As long as you're not tone-deaf, your singing will generally sound good.
With this in mind, Chen Yuan decided to use "Later," a song that is widely sung on Blue Star.
At this moment, everyone in the rest area got up and came to the center of the field to watch.
"Leopard print and a piano, you'd regret it for the rest of your life if you missed it," Su Qingyuan whispered, speaking with utmost seriousness.
Chen Yuan, sitting at the piano, paused upon hearing this. This guy, his words were as sweet as honey.
However, he quickly calmed himself down and quickly recalled the melody of "Later" in his mind.
A dozen seconds later, Chen Yuan let out a soft breath and spoke into the microphone beside him: "I'd like to dedicate a song to everyone, 'Later.' I hope that in the future, we will never have any regrets."
later?
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, their minds went blank, and they couldn't think of such a song.
However, the next moment the piano melody began, and as the lyrical yet unfamiliar melody enveloped everyone's thoughts, Chen Yuan's voice also rang out, coming from the surround sound system in the ballroom.
"Later, I finally learned how to love."
"It's a pity you've already gone far away, disappeared into the sea of people."
"Later, I finally understood through my tears."
Some people, once missed, are gone forever.
The lyrics, though brief, sound like a self-narration, drawing the audience into the story and making them feel as if they were part of the singer's experience.
Gardenias, white petals, fall on my blue pleated skirt.
"I love you," you whispered. I lowered my head and smelled a fragrance.
"That eternal night,"
"Seventeen-year-old Midsummer".
The night you kissed me...
At this moment, Zhang Jianjian and the others stared intently at Chen Yuan, their thoughts churning, as if they had returned to a midsummer night when they were seventeen, following Chen Yuan's singing.
During the innocent and budding years of youth, everyone has had a crush on someone to some extent.
"So that in the years to come, whenever I feel moved, I will always remember the starlight of that day."
"Love back then,"
"Why is it that simple?"
"..."
"Over the years, has anyone been able to keep you from being lonely?"
"Later, I finally learned how to love."
"It's a pity you've already gone far away, disappeared into the sea of people."
"Later, I finally understood through my tears."
Some people, once missed, are gone forever.
"It will never happen again. There was a boy who loved that girl."
Chen Yuan sang the song in a gentle voice, trying to blend the piano music with his singing.
This song is arguably his most classic song to date.
Compared to Crescent Bay, this song is more relatable and more widely sung.
Most importantly, this song is perfect for a large group sing-along.
The lyrics are simple yet expressive, and the melody is simple yet gentle. Whether you are a listener or a piano student, you can easily learn this piece.
As the piano melody stopped, the room fell silent.
Chen Yuan pulled himself out of his thoughts. At seventeen, he had also had similar feelings, but that was a very, very distant memory.
But for some reason, these memories are particularly moving now.
"Snapped!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Applause suddenly erupted as Zhang Jianjian clapped his hands, marveling at Chen Yuan's performance.
Then, the others came to their senses and began to applaud.
"Terrible, terrifying!" Meng Shuran sighed softly. This was the first time she had been amazed by Chen Yuan's performance, not even back in Crescent Bay.
She put aside all her opinions about Chen Yuan and began to sincerely examine this man.
Su Qingyuan and Xu Zhiyi's beautiful eyes rippled, and they were somewhat lost in thought, recalling some past events.
"I want this one too! Chen Yuan," Lin Wanxing said excitedly.
"I can compete too!" Jiang Yichen quickly said upon hearing this, afraid of missing out on such a song.
Chen Yuan stood up from his seat, facing the two people's eager gazes, and said, "I plan to sell this song to Zhang Jianjian. She wants to cross over into other fields, and I hope this song can help her."
"Me?" Zhang Jianjian stared at Chen Yuan in disbelief, "Really? Aren't you afraid I'll waste this song?"
"What, you don't want it?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.
"Yes, I'll take it!" Zhang Jianjian quickly replied, then took a deep breath, "Thank you, Chen Yuan."
She hadn't expected that the words she'd mentioned not long ago would be written down by Chen Yuan just over ten minutes later.
"what?"
"Zhang Jianjian, you're going to cross over into a new field?" Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen exclaimed in surprise, not expecting Zhang Jianjian to steal the show.
