Chapter 106: Dew Turns to Frost

As the piano prelude of "Green Trees Turn Yellow" sounded, Bai Yao remembered the scene when she first heard this song in her mind-

It was a night not long after her grandfather died.

She was lying alone in the house.

It's not cold.

The autumn night breeze blowing in through the crack in the window still stabbed her like a knife.

Looking out of the window, you can see that there are a few stubborn vines crawling on the wall, the vine branches have withered and yellowed, but they are still embedded in the cracks of the wall, not afraid of cold wind and rain.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yao was particularly sad, she felt like those lonely vines crawling on the wall, living a difficult and humble life.

Her grandfather was like this when he was alive, he lived a very humble life, and he never lived a good life for a few days in his life, and he endured hardships.

Of course, none of them can rely on this, and they can only rely on their own incompetence.

Speaking of which, her grandfather was not particularly good to her when he was alive, after all, he was not his own flesh and blood, but just made do with her.

After Bai Yao understood a little bit about things, the two of them have always taken care of each other.

Since Bai Yao was in the first grade of primary school, she had to go home after school every day to cook for her grandfather, and she usually had to clean the room, wash clothes, and do a lot of chores that children of the same age could not do.

Her grandfather treated her completely as a servant, although occasionally he would steal some snacks and toys for her to coax her, but more often, Bai Yao was taking care of her grandfather.

Her grandfather entered the palace three times when he was young, and he has not worked since he came out, living on subsistence food, he is also very idle, always doing some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, and often relying on the old to sell the old and play scoundrels in the alley, and his reputation in their area is very bad.

Just because she always does three-handed things, Bai Yao has been to the police station more than once to bring her grandfather out, and every time she has to be called by the police uncle for a long time, it feels really embarrassing.

The neighbors are always pointing fingers at their grandparents and granddaughters behind their backs.

Since then, Bai Yao has been subjected to the eyes of others.

Growing up in such an environment, Bai Yao couldn't live as a maverick.

Her face had long since been lost along with her grandfather.

Since elementary school, Bai Yao doesn't really care about what others say about her.

Whatever others like to say about her, she has to work hard to live optimistically and strongly.

Although her grandfather always gave her trouble and embarrassed her when he was alive, after all, he grew up with his grandfather, and her mother left not long after giving birth to her. For this nurturing grace, Bai Yao will remember her grandfather for the rest of her life.

Even if the whole world stands on the opposite side of her grandfather, she will stand beside her grandfather without hesitation, go through the wind and rain with her grandfather, and live humbly and strongly together.

But her grandfather was suddenly gone, and this sudden change made Bai Yao unacceptable for a while.

As soon as her grandfather left like this, he took away the heaviest family affection and pressure in Bai Yao's heart.

In the days since, Bai Yao's heart has always been empty, the whole person seems to have become lighter, life seems to be relaxed, but the mood is strangely heavy.

Especially when she sleeps alone at home at night, she can't hear her grandfather's breathing, and the loneliness of the next world is like a needle, which pierces her at a loss.

She understands that birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, but the only relative said that it was gone, which still made Bai Yao very dazed and lost.

Although she had been trying to suppress her grief, she didn't want them to be released like the monsters in Pandora's box.

But deep down, Bai Yao is really painful, a kind of depression that cannot be explained and cannot be released, and it is also a kind of loneliness that longs for love but loses the last loved one.

That night, Bai Yao was still lying on the bed blankly, her eyes wide open, watching the cold wind blowing outside the window.

She turned on the radio casually, and Liu Xijun's song "Green Trees Turn Yellow" quietly floated out of it.

Just like the song sings, the vines on the wall in front of her house were also blown from green and yellow by the west wind in a few days, which looked particularly desolate.

Feeling the stubbornness of the vines under the moonlight who don't want to be blown off the wall even if they die, and listening to Liu Xijun's song "Green Trees Turn Yellow", Bai Yao's whole person will be crushed by a huge force that slowly bursts out from her body.

The pain that had been held in my heart for many days finally broke out like a flood that broke the embankment!

Thinking that her grandfather is gone, and she can only walk alone on this difficult road in the future, she feels a kind of heartache.

She gritted her teeth at that time, and wanted to hold back so that she wouldn't cry, but when the river came and she was sad, how could she hold back?

In the end, she shed snot and tears together, and she really sobbed and cried like a dog.

Liu Xijun's song "Green Trees Turn Yellow" was also deeply stationed in Bai Yao's heart.

Bai Yao is not the kind of sentimental, petty and loving character, she rarely cries a second time for the same thing.

Later, when she listened to this song "Green Trees Turn Yellow", Bai Yao would no longer feel so heartbroken that she wanted to cry.

But she will still be sad, she will still think of the night when she cried like a dog, and she will think of the deep love and miss for her grandfather buried deep in her heart.

When doing a special song this time, in order to facilitate Bai Yao's singing, and also to give Bai Yao's distinctive smoke voice more jazz charm, he set Bai Yao's music style is a uniform piano accompaniment repertoire, and Bai Yao is not allowed to practice between piano and guitar accompaniment.

He asked Bai Yao at the time if there was a song he particularly liked, suitable for piano accompaniment, and he could sing it in this special session.

Bai Yao's first reaction after being asked was the piano accompaniment version of this song "Green Trees Turn Yellow".

She cried like a dog at the time, and she listened to the piano accompaniment version of the song.

Later, she listened to this song countless times, and she was already familiar with this song.

The song is like a mysterious symbol of the message she and her grandfather send through the air.

She always felt that when the melody of this song sounded, her grandfather would see her crying, she would also see her laughing, and she would see her working hard to live, so that she could sleep peacefully below.

This time for a music special, Bai Yao wanted to sing this song to her grandfather with a little selfishness, so that her grandfather could see how good she was doing now.

Regarding the background of this song, Bai Yao has not talked to Huang Guolun.

She never mentioned her grandfather's affairs to Huang Guolun, because it was too embarrassing and difficult to talk about, and she would never talk about this kind of thing.

What she said to Huang Guolun at the time was that she just liked this song, so she wanted to sing it.

Huang Guolun didn't ask much, since Bai Yao wanted to sing, he helped Bai Yao rehearse.

Before Bai Yao mentioned this song, Huang Guolun hadn't actually heard the song "Green Trees Turn Yellow", this song was too out-of-the-way.

Later, when I heard it, Huang Guolun thought this song was really good.

Liu Xijun is the kind of singer who won't feel super amazing when you listen to her sing for the first time, but if you listen to her songs a few more times, you will be attracted by her soft-spoken, unhurried and soft singing voice like sake but very transparent and pure, and then play her music on a loop, listen to her whispering to you on a loop, and keep hearing her sour.

Liu Xijun's singing in this song "Green Trees Turn Yellow" is quite classic, and after Huang Guolun heard Liu Xijun's version, he felt that it might be a little difficult for Bai Yao to sing this song. Because Bai Yao's voice is too deep and not transparent enough, and there is no crystal-shaped bright tone, it seems that she can't sing the charm of the crystal clear autumn orchid fragrance hidden in this song.

But later during the rehearsal, Bai Yao tried to sing, and Huang Guolun was amazed by Bai Yao's performance!

Unlike singing other songs, Bai Yao always had a lot of flaws when she first auditioned, and she seemed more amateurish.

This song "Green Trees Turn Yellow", Bai Yao started from the first sentence of the audition, which is a rhythm that makes people kneel and listen.

Like Liu Xijun, Bai Yao sang this song in vain, but because of her heavy and hoarse voice, Bai Yao could already make people feel a deep affection in the air that was pressed by her in the stage of Bai Tu's songwriting.

In the following singing, this deep affection was shown smoothly, without any deliberate release, and in the waves, people tasted the slightest coldness and bitterness of life.

Even though Huang Guolun had a pair of divine ears, he didn't expect Bai Yao to feel so much when he sang this song, it was completely a big singing style!

Compared with this song, the taste of Bai Yao's singing is estimated to be not much worse than Adele.

Not only that, but Bai Yao felt different every time she sang this song at a rehearsal after that.

She sings this song as if she is painting a painting, which is particularly natural and freehand, without any traces of carved design, every time she paints casually, and her emotions come out naturally.

Today's rehearsal in the duck shop, Bai Yao sang the song "Green Trees Turn Yellow", still sending a happy and sad signal to his grandfather who has not completely slept peacefully.

She hopes that her grandfather can see how hard she is working now, and she also hopes that her grandfather can rest assured that in a short time, she will definitely let him live in the most comfortable "mansion"!

……

"Evening / Violet with a little teardrop"

"The thrush also flew away / deserted on the balcony"

"The west wind turns all your favorite trees yellow at night"

"The street lamps are still the same as they used to be / shining through the windows on your back"

"I couldn't see the direction you were going that day"

"I can only stand alone on the roof"

"I don't know where to send it / It's a letter I wrote to you"

……

With the accompaniment of the cold-toned piano version, Bai Yao used her singing voice to control the audience, and sang the originally warm and lively café into a bleak atmosphere of autumn trees and fallen leaves.

If you say that everyone has heard "Intimate Lover" just now, and then listening to Bai Yao sing, they are listening to Bai Yao's melody that tickles their hearts.

Then the song "Green Trees Turning Yellow" is purely Bai Yao's singing method of soul, instilling a profound melody with deep autumn and dew turning into frost in their hearts.

Such a profound vocal singing method shocked everyone in the café.
