Chapter 92 A Toast to Freedom, A Toast to Death

Chapter 92

"I have some!"

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Xiao Long made a show of taking out a bottle of wine from his bosom.

Sometimes he needed the inspiration that came from drinking.

So, he carried wine with him.

"Give it here!"

As soon as Xiao Long produced the bottle,

The host snatched it away!

He sternly warned, "I said no drinking! No!"

"Didn't Teacher Lu ask for it?"

Xiao Long chuckled sheepishly.

He was curious what kind of song needed to be listened to while drinking.

"..."

Lu Xuan's lips twitched.

Who knew Xiao Long would carry alcohol with him!

Seeing the wine confiscated by the host, he decided not to waste any more time.

"Ahem..."

He coughed to attract everyone's attention.

Memories of his past life flashed in his eyes.

Thoughts swirling, Lu Xuan spoke softly.

"I don't have much experience (in this life)."

"Nor have I experienced any earth-shattering love."

"All I have are some feelings about this ordinary life."

"I'll bring you all a very ordinary song—'Sorrow Dissipation.'"

"I hope you all enjoy it."

After bowing slightly, Lu Xuan got up and walked to the piano on the side.

He smiled politely at the pianist.

"Hello, may I use this?"

"Oh, oh!"

The pianist looked up at Lu Xuan, like a minion.

He quickly got up and gave up his seat.

"Thank you."

Lu Xuan thanked him and sat down.

His fingertips ran over the keys, the familiar feeling entering his heart, relaxing him.

Su Yao sat gracefully beside Lu Xuan, helping him adjust the microphone.

Becoming the most beautiful supporting role in the venue.

While supporting Lu Xuan with her actions, Su Yao also had some doubts in her heart.

"Sorrow Dissipation? I've never heard of it!"

"When did Lu Xuan create this behind my back?"

"Also, Lu Xuan really can play the piano! He lied to me before, saying he only knew a little!"

Someone who could play on stage must know more than a little.

And the more she interacted with Lu Xuan,

The more mysterious she found him!

Su Yao made up her mind.

If she had the chance, she would definitely 'strip' Lu Xuan bare!

Study this man inside and out.

"Lest he sell me off, and I'd still have to count the money for him."

Lu Xuan was oblivious to the woman's thoughts beside him.

He was single-mindedly recalling the melody.

While he was reminiscing, the audience seats were a bit noisy.

They looked at Lu Xuan's young face.

And couldn't help but laugh in their hearts.

"He's so young, what life experience could he have?"

"Probably some popular song."

"Isn't that what's popular in the market now?"

Most of the audience's hearts were already leaning towards Xiao Long.

Even the comments in the live broadcast room began to scroll with 'Love Blown by the Cold Wind'.

Obviously, everyone liked Xiao Long's new song.

Many people's hands were already on the number 1 key.

The cheers of the audience all supported Xiao Long.

But the two contestants on the stage were not disturbed at all.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Xiao Long's eyes were eager.

Even more eager than Su Yao's.

He did not underestimate Lu Xuan just because he was young.

A true genius can never be measured by ordinary standards.

"Okay."

Lu Xuan opened his eyes.

His entire aura suddenly changed.

All the audience members were surprised to discover,

That Lu Xuan seemed to have transformed in that instant!

The original Lu Xuan looked like a sunny and handsome young director.

But now, he looked like a piano master!

Sitting in front of the piano, elegant and confident!

His artistry instantly surpassed Xiao Long!

Passive Skill—Actor's Aura.

Silently taking effect.

Making Lu Xuan look even more like a piano master!

Everyone, including Su Yao, couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate.

Afraid of breaking this elegance!

Then, Lu Xuan raised his hand.

And placed it down.

A story about ordinary people began.

——

When you walk into this happy place

Carrying all your dreams and thoughts

Faces of all colors, makeup of all kinds

No one remembers what you look like

......

A toast to the morning sun, a toast to the moonlight

Awakening my longing, warming the cold window

......

A toast to my hometown, a toast to faraway lands

Guarding my kindness, urging me to grow

......

A toast to tomorrow, a toast to the past

Supporting my body, weighing down my shoulders

......

A toast to freedom, a toast to death

Forgiving my ordinariness, dispelling my confusion

......

——

Eight cups of wine in total!

Each cup more intoxicating than the last, each cup more mellow!

The singer was drunk.

The listeners were mesmerized!

Lu Xuan's voice penetrated everyone's heart.

When he sang 'A toast to freedom, a toast to death',

Everyone even forgot to breathe.

A sense of recognition deep in their souls stimulated their scalps.

In short, their scalps tingled!

Some people's eyes had already turned red at some point.

The people watching the live broadcast were the same.

The live broadcast room, which had been constantly filled with comments, went empty in a second!

No one had time to send comments anymore.

One by one, they watched the live broadcast on their knees.

The screen of the live broadcast clearly showed Lu Xuan playing the piano.

Echoing that vicissitudes-filled voice!

"These lyrics! This melody!"

"My God!"

Xiao Long snatched his wine from the host, who was stunned on the side.

Glug, glug—

He disregarded the occasion and poured eight large gulps!

Each gulp was a tribute to the lyrics in Lu Xuan's song.

Morning sun, moonlight;

Hometown, faraway lands;

Tomorrow, the past;

Freedom, death!

Each cup of wine made Xiao Long's heart tremble uncontrollably!

The host, who had been sternly warning everyone not to drink,

Now stretched out a trembling hand.

"Give...give me a sip too."

Lu Xuan's song sang to his heart.

Making his throat move, wanting to get drunk!

However, Xiao Long, who had a slight obsession with cleanliness, did not give it to him.

Instead, he sat alone on the stage.

Drinking to the song "Sorrow Dissipation," he finished off three pounds of Wuliangye liquor in two gulps.

Taking advantage of the fact that he wasn't drunk yet, he got up and walked towards Lu Xuan.

Wanting to get closer to this song.

Halfway there, Xiao Long staggered.

"This...this is the new direction I've always been pursuing!"

He came behind Lu Xuan and stood silently.

Together with the stunned pianist next to him.

Standing like minions!

"The sober are the most absurd..."

Lu Xuan closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling after singing this sentence, and continued to play.

The end of the song had the same rhythm as the beginning.

But it gave people a completely different feeling.

It was like one was the beginning of the story, and the other was the end of the story.

The end is also a new beginning!

After the performance was over.

Lu Xuan got up gracefully and bowed slightly to the audience.

Then he woke up Su Yao, who was still in a daze.

"Let's go."

Su Yao stared blankly at him: "Where to?"

"Home."

He left the venue with Su Yao without looking back.

"Where are they?"

A few seconds after Lu Xuan and Su Yao left, the people in the entire venue woke up from those eight cups of wine.

Clap clap clap clap clap!

Although the singer was gone.

The applause still rang out, becoming even more enthusiastic!

Without any intention of stopping.

"That was so damn good!"

The host wiped the corner of his eye.

While applauding, he came to Xiao Long's side.

"Teacher Xiao? Teacher Xiao!"

Xiao Long was lying on the side of the piano.

His head pillowed on his arms, sleeping soundly.

His upturned mouth seemed to be dreaming of some sweet dream.

Muttering something from time to time.

The host leaned closer to listen.

He only heard Xiao Long repeating.

"Good song!"

"Good wine!"

Host: "..."

The applause in the venue did not stop.

At some point, on the screen that was comparable to the stage in size.

The votes of the audience were displayed.

The number 2, representing Lu Xuan's group,

Covered the entire screen!
