Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Flowers

The girls in the neon feather coats walked briskly down the staircase leading to the backstage like butterflies, and the relatively narrow space diffused with the scent of fat powder that would make people's hearts beat faster.

These beautiful girls had just finished a dance performance, and the applause in the auditorium had not yet subsided, and they were talking and laughing, the sweat on their foreheads mixed with some makeup powder, glistening in the light of the wall lamps.

Lu Chen picked up his guitar and politely turned his back against the wall to make way for them.

Several girls looked at Lu Chen curiously, and their footsteps kept passing him.

Leave behind strings of silver bell-like laughter.

On the stage outside, the host was announcing the curtain: "Thank you for the wonderful performance of the twenty-four beautiful girls just now, the following program is from the computer science department, the male solo"

"His name is Lu Chen, let's welcome him with applause!"

As soon as his words fell, Lu Chen, who was already standing at the exit of the stage, immediately stepped forward and stood in the spotlight.

Facing nearly 10,000 alumni and teachers at the scene, he showed a confident smile.

After the baptism of the light blue music carnival night, even in front of a large number of audiences, Lu Chen will not be nervous.

He believes in his songs.

The applause rang out, although it was not warm, but many students were still very face-saving.

Especially Lu Chen's classmates clapped their hands desperately, and their loud whistles were professional.

Lu Chen is tall and handsome, he used to be from a wealthy family, but he didn't have the kind of gentlemanliness of a rich child, and he was usually very willing to help others, so his popularity among his classmates has always been quite good.

Many people know about the changes in Lu Chen's family, and they also know that he ran out to work early to make money, and their applause is their support and admiration for Lu Chen, because it is not easy to do what he does.

On the No. 19 seat in row 37 of the audience seat of He Liang's Great Auditorium, Wang Ying raised her hand and clapped it twice, and then put it down.

She stared at Lu Chen, who was standing in the center of the stage, and suddenly felt that the latter was very unfamiliar.

The girl sitting next to Wang Ying quietly came over and asked in a low voice, "What, do you still miss him?"

Wang Ying shook her head a little dazedly.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, she had broken up for so long, and the two made it clear.

But there is always an emotion lingering in my heart!

The girl next door said bitterly: "It's all divided, don't think about it too much! What's the use of being handsome now? ”

Wang Ying frowned and said, "He and I have already passed a long time ago, and I didn't think much about it. ”

The girl next door chuckled and said: "That's right, we girls, finding a suitable husband is the most important thing, how tiring it is to work hard by yourself when you go out of society, and the housing prices in Hangzhou are so expensive, you can't pay for it at all with a handsome guy!"

Wang Ying listened in and out of her left ear, and her mind didn't know where to go.

At this moment, Lu Chen was talking into the microphone and said: "Thank you for your applause, the song I am going to sing here tonight is written by myself, and it is also the first time I have sung it publicly." ”

"I give this song to all the girls, all the students and sisters, because it is because of you that Jianghai University is a truly beautiful campus, and I wish you will always be young and beautiful!"

There were countless laughter in the auditorium, and many girls applauded again, applauding more enthusiastically.

Most of the boys are envious, jealous and hateful, and there is no shortage of secret curses.

It's so beautiful to think about it, and if you sing it, you'll be booed -- let you pretend to be handsome.

Handsome guys, especially those who can play the guitar, are the most annoying!

However, Lu Chen didn't feel the resentment from the single Wangs, he turned his head and gave a thumbs up to the director on the sidelines, indicating that he could start.

After a while, on the huge screen behind Lu Chen, an image of the new song MV appeared.

He plucked the strings and played the prelude, softly.

What appeared on the LED screen was the blurred Jianghai University school scene, and then the silhouettes of the girls quietly appeared along with the sketched flowers, setting off the four hand-painted artistic words - those flowers.

"That laughter reminds me of my flowers,

Quietly open for me in every corner of my life.

I thought I would always be by her side,

Today we are gone, in the sea of people.

They're all old, aren't they?

Where are they?

And so we went our separate ways!

Laa...... Miss her.

Ahh Is she still driving?

Laa...... Go!

They have been blown away by the wind and scattered to the ends of the earth!

……”

A touch of sadness, a touch of nostalgia, a low chant and a shallow singing to tell about the past time, Lu Chen's playing is simple and concise, but the beautiful melody and lyrics make this song have the power to hit the heart.

Especially those girls, they look at the familiar or unfamiliar photos that appear in the MV on the big screen, those are their youth memories, those running, hugging, jumping, and frolicking

The past time reappears in front of us, joyful, sad, sweet, exciting

They are about to graduate, and they are about to be blown away by the wind and scattered to the ends of the earth!

“……

Some stories haven't been told yet, so forget it,

Those moods have been hard to distinguish between true and false over the years.

Now the grass is overgrown here and there are no flowers,

Fortunately, I once had your spring, autumn, winter and summer.

Laa...... Thinking of her,

Ahh Is she still driving?

Laa...... Go!

They have been blown away by the wind and scattered to the ends of the earth.

They're all old, aren't they?

Where are they?

And so we went our separate ways!

……”

The auditorium, which can accommodate thousands of spectators, was quiet, there was no applause, no laughter, no talking, everyone was listening, listening to Lu Chen's singing.

Some of the girls were already crying.

The song evokes the romantic prayers and involuntary sadness in their hearts, like dandelion flowers that bloom unexpectedly at the right time, as if their souls are searching for the flying tidbits and cannot be recovered.

Lu Chen played, hummed, and reminisced.

The flower that left the deepest mark in his life was one of his senior sisters.

She appeared when Lu Chen was most depressed, when his father had just died, and he broke up with Wang Ying, experiencing great changes in his life, decadent and gray like a walking corpse.

And Wan's appearance, as if it was 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 depression and faced life again strongly.

It's just that Lu Chen couldn't leave Wan, she immigrated to the UK with her family after graduation.

This relationship didn't even know about Lu Chen's best friends, and he didn't tell anyone.

It's always pressed in the bottom of my heart.

He is here today singing this song, and it is for Wan to sing.

Her photo is also in the MV, smiling brightly!

“……

They're all old, aren't they?

Where are they?

And so we went our separate ways!

……”

Unconsciously, Lu Chen's eyes were wet with tears, he had never sung so emotionally, and his singing voice was choked.

In the audience, many girls were already in 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 lip tightly, and the look in her eyes was extremely complicated.

Intuition told her that Lu Chen's song was sung to his most beloved person.

That person wasn't her.

She was also moved by the song, but when she thought of it, her heart seemed to be bitten by a poisonous snake, and the intense jealousy and pain were like losing her most cherished treasure!

The picture of the MV is finally frozen in a photo.

On a drizzly afternoon, in the depths of the old streets and alleys, the silhouette of a gentle and touching woman holding a paper umbrella.

The dense water vapor made the camera hazy, and it was impossible to capture her true face.

But the beauty of the hollow valley is destined to become one of the deepest memories of all witnesses.

Lu Chen finished singing.

He puffed up his chest and said into the microphone, "Thank you, those flowers!"

He wanted to thank all the flowers that had appeared in his twenty-two-year-old life.

Life is wonderful because of their presence!
