Chapter 19: Lee

"So oppa, you're going to sing on stage?"

"Oh my God, I only knew that OPPA could write lyrics, music and scripts, but I didn't expect to be able to sing!"

When the sisters Zheng Xiuyan and Zheng Xiujing heard Li Anning say that their brother was going to sing at the Lollapalooza Music Festival in the evening, they instantly became excited and ran to Lee Jae-cheol's side to ask left and right.

"How can I tell you, in fact, my talent for singing is far stronger than my talent for writing. Lee said with a smile after a moment of thought. He had prepared two songs for the festival and sent them to the organizers to decide which one to sing. In the end, the organizers asked Lee Jae-chul to choose one by himself, on the grounds that they thought they were all good and couldn't pay attention to it.

"Then oppa, can you sing it to us first?" Zheng Xiujing hugged Lee Jae-cheol's arm and said coquettishly.

Zheng Xiuyan nodded violently beside her.

"Okay, give you a prelude. Lee Jae-cheol said, "Call An Ning and Bao'er too." ”

"OK!" Zheng Xiujing left in a hurry, and Zheng Xiuyan, who stayed behind, looked at Lee Jae-chul faintly.

"What's wrong?" Lee Jae-chul wondered.

"No, I just think oppa you're so good, you can do anything. ”

Lee Jae-cheol touched her head and said with a smile: "No matter how powerful it is, isn't it your oppa?"

"Hmm!" said the little girl happily, her immature face glowing with a slight fade.

After a while, Zheng Xiujing pulled Quan Baoer and Li Anning and ran back. Although they haven't known each other for a long time, Kwon Bo Ah and the three girls have become friends. I have to say that the world of children is really beautiful and pure.

"Bao'er, I've been in the United States for a week, and I've always taken you to see musicals, and today I'm going to give you a lesson in person. Lee Jae-chul looked at Kwon Bo-er and said.

"Thank you, senior. Quan Baoer said excitedly. The person in front of him is the famous "Hand of God" in the United States, although he has never sung in person, but since he can go to the music festival, it is not too bad to think that it is more than enough to teach himself something.

Lee Jae-chul turned on his mobile phone to play it, and the soft piano sound came out. He closed his eyes, snapped his fingers with his right hand, and began to hum to the beat under his feet.

"en.en.en.en.en.en......." is a very short prelude, about 23 seconds, but after Lee Jae-chul stopped, the four girls still didn't react.

The first to wake up was Zheng Xiujing, "Oppa, I really want to be brainwashed...... It's too foul, it's just a prelude, it's just like that......" The little girl blushed, and she didn't know how to describe the little humming she had just had.

Kwon Bo Er looked at Lee Jae-chul with a complicated look, and suddenly bowed to him and said, "Senior, oh no, teacher, please let me be your student, and I will definitely be able to sing better songs by learning from you." ”

"Be my student?" Li Jae-cheol looked at the girl who showed affirmation, "I'm very harsh, since I want to be my student, be prepared to endure hardships and be scolded." ”

"Inside, thank you, teacher!" Seeing that Lee Jae-chul agreed to apprentice, Quan Bao'er grinned. In fact, Lee Jae-chul had the idea of teaching her to sing before, and the smiling girl in front of her is very talented, and as long as she is sculpted, she will definitely become an excellent solo singer in the future.

"What do you think?" asked Lee Jae-chul to the other two girls who had not expressed an opinion.

"No matter what it is, as long as it's my brother's singing, I like it. Li Anning's answer was as firm as ever.

Really, I'm afraid that others won't know that you are a little brother, Zheng Xiuyan slandered. Then he nodded and said, "It's the same as Xiujing said, it feels like being brainwashed, but the prelude is so good, I'm looking forward to the whole song, oppa." ”

"You can hear it at night, I'll give you a place at the front. Lee Jae-chul is very confident in this song, but he thinks that the day after tomorrow will be more popular in comparison.

"Really, thank you oppa!" Da Mao Ermao said happily.

"Thank you, teacher. ”

In contrast, Miss An Ning was more direct, she sat on Lee Jae-cheol's lap and leaned into his arms with a satisfied expression, like a docile cat.

The Zheng sisters showed dissatisfaction and envy, and were angry that the two of them could not be as intimate with OPPA as Li Anning now. It seems that they are going to work harder to attack the oppa!

Held annually at Chicago's Grant Park, the Lollapalooza festival is held over three days and is watched by more than 20,000 people every day and is televised simultaneously.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the concert started on time.

At the end of the opening performance, it was already 6:30 a.m., the fifth singer finished singing, and the host began to introduce the sixth singer.

"The next one is familiar to everyone. Last year, he published an article in the New York Times that sparked a debate on women's human rights and won awards at major music festivals and film ceremonies. And this time, it was the first time he sang a song by himself. Let's cheer for the Hand of God, Lee!"

Tens of thousands of viewers in the audience had already guessed who the host was talking about, and bursts of enthusiastic cheers rang out.

Suddenly, the lights on the stage went out completely, and the shouts of the people became weaker. Then, a few lines of words appeared on the big screen:

Please Don't Go

Lyrics/Music: Lee

Singing: Lee

Lee Jae-chul was dressed in black, and the hat of his sweatshirt covered his head, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

A soothing piano sound and snapping fingers sounded at the same time, and he began to hum the prelude.

"en.en.en.en.en......" The audience suddenly forgot to cheer. Only Lee Jae-chol's voice could be heard throughout the scene.

The four girls stood not far from the stage, staring at the man on the stage with a confused gaze.

β€œNobody ever knows

Nobody ever sees

I left my soul

Back then, no I'm too weak

Most nights I pray for you to come home

Praying to the lord

Praying for my soul

Now please don't go

Most nights I hardly sleep when I'm alone

……”

The whole song is not long, about three and a half minutes. Soon, Lee Jae-chul finished singing.

Seeing that no one in the audience made a sound, he even forgot to dance the light stick in his hand.

Lee Jae-chul raised the microphone: "Hello, I'm Lee." ”

People immersed in enchanting music came to their senses and began to respond violently.

β€œLee! Lee! Lee! Lee……”

In addition to shouting Lee Jae-chol's name, many people exchanged words with relatives and friends around him.

"I always thought he could only create, but I didn't expect him to be a singer-songwriter! ”

"I don't know how his brain grows, he can do anything, it's weird......"

"Hey, don't you have a video store, I'll order a CD of this song. ”

"Reservation is possible, 300 deposits. ”

β€œFUC. For you, don't forget to leave me one. ”

"Try your best. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lee Jae-chul coughed lightly, and his voice passed down the microphone, and people stopped cheering and talking.

"This is the first time I've sung for so many people on such a grand occasion, and I don't know if I sing well or not. The lights on the stage have been turned on, and Lee Jae-chul has also taken off his hood.

"Very good!" shouted the people.

"Thank you. Someone called me a human rights fighter, a hero, and a hand of God. In fact, I feel that I am just an ordinary person, I love my relatives, friends, and you who give me cheers and encouragement at this time. I'm glad you can enjoy this song, goodbye everyone. Lee Jae-chul smiled and waved his hand and walked off the stage.

People's shouts shook the sky, and the atmosphere at the scene was even more enthusiastic because of Lee Jae-chul's words.

At the same time, people sitting in front of the TV also seem to be brainwashed after listening to the song "Please Don't Go", and the melody keeps echoing in their minds. Hearing Lee Jae-chul say that there is a song the day after tomorrow, I am faintly looking forward to it.

Moments later, a live recording of "Please Don't Go" appeared online, and the number of hits quickly climbed.

…………………………

After stepping off the stage, Lee Jae-chul returned to the hotel with the four girls.

"Oppa, you were so handsome when you were on stage just now!" Zheng Xiujing's eyes were full of stars, and she held her chin with her small hand and looked at Lee Jae-cheol.

"Am I not usually handsome?" asked Lee Jae-chul with a deliberately straight face.

The little girl waved her hand again and again, "No, OPPA is usually very handsome." ”

The doorbell rang "Ding Dong".

Lee Jae-chul opened the door, and the waiter came in with a dining cart, "Hello sir, this is the dinner you ordered, I wish you a happy meal." ”

"Thank you. Lee Jae-chul nodded, and the waiter closed the door and left.

"Girls, it's time to eat. Zheng Xiujing has been sticking to him since she came back, while the other three girls have gathered together and muttered until now.

"Brother, we'll be here right away. Li Anning responded, then she turned around and frowned at Zheng Xiuyan, "Give up, I won't help you confess to your brother! Besides, you are only 13 years old, what do you think about every day?"

Zheng Xiuyan pursed her lips disdainfully, "If you don't help me, I'll ask Bao'er for help." Then he said with a holy face, "Love knows no age, as long as there is love, nothing is a problem!"

"Well, let me give you my opinion. Quan Bao'er raised her hand and said weakly, "I won't help Xiuyan confess to you, because the probability of the teacher agreeing is very small......"

"Why? Am I not pretty?" said Zheng Xiuyan.

"Xiuyan, you are very beautiful, but the teacher ...... him," Kwon Bo-er organized a language. "Teacher, he seems to have a good relationship with Taixi's seniors, the two of them are childhood sweethearts, and I feel that my seniors like teachers very much. And you're too young ......"

"......" Zheng Xiuyan was silent when she heard this, indeed, she is too young, and she is almost the same as being his sister, if she is a lover, it is true......

"But I still have to give it a try, this is the first time I feel like and admiration, and I am not willing to hold it like this!" Zheng Damao raised his head and said firmly.

Then Jung so-yeon ran directly to Lee Jae-cheol's side and tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"Oppa, I like you, can you be my boyfriend?" the little girl's eyes were worried, and her pink lips trembled slightly due to nervousness.

Lee Jae-chul looked at her, and the scene on the Han River Bridge appeared in front of his eyes.

"Then so-yeon told oppa, what do you like about oppa?" Lee Jae-chul crouched down and looked directly at the girl.

"OPPA is very handsome, and he saved me and Ermao, and he can sing and make movies...... In short, there are many advantages of oppa, and I like oppa very much!" the little girl counted with her fingers.

"Hmm...... That's it, Xiuyan, you're still too young, and OPPA doesn't want to be charged with molesting a minor. Wait a few years, if so-yeon still likes oppa, I'll promise you again, okay?" Lee Jae-cheol's idea was very simple at this time. Little girls, their minds are erratic, and when they grow up in a few years, they will slowly forget that they once liked a big brother.

"Inside, then oppa, you have to wait for me!" Zheng Xiuyan's face flushed with excitement.

"Wait, it's not fair!" Zheng Xiujing on the side was unhappy, "I also like oppa, oppa, you have to wait for me to grow up!"

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for Xiujing. Lee Jae-chul smiled, one or two are fine.

Li Anning looked at the three of them dumbfounded, his brother actually ...... I actually agreed!

"Why does my brother ......?"

"The teacher is afraid of hurting Xiuyan Xiujing's heart, thinking that they will forget it when they grow up. Quan Baoer analyzed.

"Hmm......" Li Anning's good-looking brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Tranquility, Bao'er, come to dinner. Lee Jae-chul greeted the two standing in the living room.

"Here we are, teacher. Quan Bao'er agreed, and then pulled An Ning to the restaurant.
