1276 Passionate
Tall posture, elegant demeanor, handsome face, noble temperament.
When Lan Li sat down in front of the grand piano, the charm that emanated from the inside out was natural, and between gestures and smiles, his eyes involuntarily moved with it, as if even his heart was gently tugging, and before he realized it, he had already held his breath.
The slender fingers landed on the black and white keys, and the tinkling sound of the piano flowed slowly like the cold moonlight, and the elegant and moving melody was dancing lightly, as if the blue elf could be seen flapping its wings, bathed in golden light and dancing, and the soft and graceful notes calmed down all the tension and anxiety.
In a trance, it seemed that Lan Li was left alone in the whole world.
"I have long been accustomed to the dark world, and everyone has persuaded me to disappear because they dislike my incompleteness. β
Lan Li's voice faintly revealed a touch of hoarseness, like the rustling sound of a rainy night in late autumn, gloomy and lonely, gentle and lonely. The first line of singing played the loneliness in the depths of the soul, and told the deep scars in the heart, without words, all eyes were quietly projected towards George and Elizabeth:
Here it comes. George's worst fears finally came.
The truth, little by little, finally tore off the mask and revealed its original appearance.
"I have learned to be ashamed of my wounds, and everyone has advised me to fly away, and no one will cherish you for who you are. β
The trace of fragility that was inadvertently leaked made Edith stunned in place in an instant. She didn't know, she never knew, hidden under Lan Li's unhesitating persistence and strong armor, he had also doubted himself, he had been scarred, and the pressure brought by the surname "Hall" was also hurting him hard.
But Lan Li's face did not show sadness, and a tenacious and powerful light burst out from those translucent eyes, which was brightening little by little, "But I will not let them be completely defeated, after all, there is a world that belongs to me, just because I am different!"
The slowly flowing notes gradually began to become turbulent, the touch between the fingertips and the keys began to become powerful, and the cold music notes burst out with a sonorous and powerful sound, like a surging river, continuously venting down, and Lan Li's singing voice burst out from the depths of the soul with an incredible brightness.
So clear, yet so pure.
"When the blade of language strikes, I repel it with a mountain of mountains, I am brave and fearless, I am bruised all over my body, I am my born self!
Straighten your spine, lift your chin, and gaze firmly.
This is the Blue Gift.
Even when he was asked to perform like a play at the aristocratic private party, he still did not lower his arrogant head, even in the face of calculations and rejection from his family, and even in the face of the impatience to clear the relationship before outsiders brought harm, he still did not fall apart and completely collapsed, even if he was insulted and cursed, he still never questioned himself.
He, Ranley Sebastian Hall, is an actor.
He has not regretted it, and he will not regret it. On the road to chasing his dreams, he is free, he is also happy, this is the true self he was born with, he will not run away from it and will not retreat, what he has is far beyond the comprehension of those narrow eyes. This is him, this is the Lan Li who shines brightly.
"Notice that I'm going to shine, I'm going to go forward to the beat of the drum, I'm fearless, I'm open-minded, and I'm not going to apologize for that. That's who I am!"
Suddenly, Matthew's eyes reddened slightly. He heard, he heard it all.
When Viscount John de Bioford made an over-the-top request, everyone seemed uneasy, even Matthew. Because deep down, he still agrees with the Viscount's idea, and the request to perform in public is an insult, a contempt, and a teasing.
But Lan Li was never worried.
There is no need to hide, no guilt, no need to be humble. Also, there is no need to apologize.
This is Ranley Hall, the Lancet-Hall who has been talked about countless times throughout London high society. Once, in the eyes of contempt and ridicule, Lan Li never flinched, and now, in the eyes of those envy and flattery, Lan Li has never wavered. He never changed.
And the people who should really feel ashamed and ashamed should be the people who made this request, and the people who are worried about the harm caused by this request. Because, deep down, they still don't identify with Lan Li's identity as an actor after all, nor do they identify with the social status of artists, they are just a group of people who sell their fame and compete for fame and fortune.
Viscount John de Bioford?
He's not worth mentioning at all. In the face of Lan Li's openness and firmness, he is just a mediocre person who cherishes decadent traditions and refuses to keep pace with the times, and will eventually be eliminated by the times.
Tonight, Lan Li-Hall really shines on the stage, showing himself without reservation or concealment, and openly presenting himself in every discerning gaze.
His calmness and perseverance, his bravery and courage, his courage and charisma are enough to make everyone feel small.
Matthew was so embarrassed for the first time.
But Matthew didn't care at all, he raised his chin high, didn't even wipe the tears in his eyes, and his hazy gaze fell on everyone on the scene, they were so humble, they were so cold, they were so insignificant, after tearing off the mask of the hereditary nobility, they had nothing and were worthless.
The piano sonata began to rise and go higher little by little, and the majestic and turbulent momentum swept through the entire banquet hall like a stormy wave, and it was so powerful that no one could make a sound, no one could even move a finger, just stared at Lan Li in a suit and leather shoes in amazement, and gradually fell silent in the midst of that surging melody.
In the line of sight, it can be clearly seen that Lan Li's momentum is raising its head strongly, bursting out with a kind of calmness and firmness that people can't look at directly, the strength in the bones and the purity in the soul are impressive.
"It's another round of bullets and bullets, so please let the horse come! Today I will refuse to be captured! I will break through the obstacles, and I will finally see the sun through the clouds, I am a warrior! I will stand in the sky and the earth!"
Viscount Bioford's face turned pale, and he was even too angry and agitated to the point that the crutches in his hands began to tremble slightly, and his cloudy eyes burst out with a vicious look, eager to step forward and tear the mouth apart.
But he couldn't.
Because of his upbringing, and because of everyone's attention. In the entire banquet hall, all eyes fell on the kid's body, bursting with incredible brilliance, and the blood boiling emotion was slowly climbing to the highest point, and even the sound of the air being bubbling could be faintly heard.
Viscount Bioford only heard a "pop", and the tooth that had just been filled not long ago was broken. He couldn't show it, he could only silently hold it in his mouth, and then the piano sound suddenly burst out with a mighty force, rushing to his face, and before he could react, he made a swallowing motion.
Then, Viscount Bioford froze like a statue.
Viscount Bioford thought it was a phrase addressed to him, but George and Elizabeth knew that it was a phrase addressed to them.
They never really went head-to-head.
After graduating from university, Lan Li left London and went to New York; after the actor took the stage, even if he returned, Lan Li did not make a big fanfare, at least not wantonly among the upper class, and did not embarrass George and Elizabeth, and the only time they met, they also disappeared into invisibility in silence; after the identity was revealed, Lan Li stayed away from London and let George and Elizabeth enjoy the halo.
They just covered their ears and stole the bell and lived in peace.
But today, the war has started again. George and Elizabeth thought things would be business as usual.
This time, they were wrong.
Lan Li refused to back down again, refused to compromise again, refused to be silent again. At the beginning, George and Elizabeth's denial of his talent and ability was still a cross on Lan Li's body not long ago, and now, should George and Elizabeth do it again? If this is a new round of bullets, thenβ
Let the horses come!
This is the first time that Lan Li has straightened his waist in front of George and Elizabeth, the young man in his memory has now grown into a giant who stands up to the sky, he is a warrior, he is a warrior, he is a fighter, nothing can stop his dream, nothing can break his persistence.
Even if he is alone, he must stick to this path to the end!
As never before, George and Elizabeth were so embarrassed that they could even feel all the eyes of the audience projecting like arrows. They knew, they all knew, the secret of the Hall family was announced to the world like this, and their face, their image, and their prestige were all destroyed at this moment.
The youngest son of the Hall family finally broke all restraints and stood between heaven and earth.
No one could stop him anymore.
In the sound of the piano keys in the stormy waves, Lan Li's singing was like a march, the thunder rumbled, the waves rolled, every bite of the word, every note, and every emotion were as heavy as a thousand pounds, swept in layers, even if he was only one person, at this time it broke out the momentum and strength of thousands of people, and the loud singing echoed for a long time under the entire sky.
"I won't let them be completely defeated, after all, there is a world that belongs to me, just because I am different!"
Suddenly, Edith took a big step forward, raised her right hand high, and pointed to the sky unswervingly, this is her battle declaration, this is also her life pursuit, she will bravely follow the footsteps of Lan Li, chopping the waves, and moving forward bravely, at this moment, she felt all the things before:
He and she are family!
