After a breakup, a song heals the world

Hearing his wife's words, Li Chuanyun was stunned and exclaimed "Ah", obviously not quite understanding what Mr. Li on TV meant.

As if she could see her husband's confusion, Xu Feifei thought for a moment and replied, "When I was in college, my teacher never mentioned his wife and was cheerful most of the time. People who don't know my teacher well would think that his family should be happy.

Later I learned from a senior classmate that the teacher's wife had passed away. Because the teacher and his wife had a very good relationship, the teacher was so sad at that time that he locked himself at home and almost completely stopped communicating with the outside world.

Later, he gradually came out of his grief. After that, people who knew about these things would hardly mention the matter of the teacher's wife in front of the teacher..."

Li Chuanyun stared at the kind yet old face on the TV screen in astonishment. He didn't understand, if what his wife said was true, then why did Mr. Li suddenly take out such a photo in front of so many people.

But soon, Li Chuanyun knew the answer.

Similar to Li Chuanyun's reaction, both the contestants and audience at the scene as well as some netizens in the live broadcast room were equally confused when they saw this old photo on the large LED screen behind the stage.

As for the person involved, Mr. Li, with a relieved smile, slowly looked at the contestants and said with a smile.

"If I remember correctly, this story should have happened in 64..."

After saying this, the old man shook his head again, and when he looked at the photo again, there was a bit more nostalgia on his face.

“How could I remember it wrong? It was 68.

It was still a winter morning. The mornings before were different from those now. There were not so many tall buildings and not so many luxuriously decorated restaurants.

I rushed to the train station early, wearing a thick coat and carrying my luggage. There were no other pedestrians on the road. It was too early.

There was only a small roadside stall prepared in advance, which was a small stall selling breakfast. The freshly cooked soy milk was steaming, white and hazy, just like the hot air I exhaled, steaming hot.

When I saw this scene, I was so greedy.

But at that time, I hadn't found a job yet and only had enough money to buy a train ticket.

I don’t know if it was because I was cold or hungry, but while I was waiting for the train, I just stood by the breakfast shop in a daze…”

The more the old man told the story, the more his smile grew. Even the wrinkles on his face seemed to soften a little, outlining the twists and turns of those warm and unforgettable years for him.

No one disturbed the old man, including Su Yan, and everyone was listening quietly.

"The owner of the breakfast shop was an elderly man. When he saw me, he greeted me warmly and asked me what I wanted to eat.

I was too embarrassed to do that, so I quickly waved my hands to indicate that I didn't want to eat.

Then, a girl with pigtails saw me and said that she had seen my performance in the town before. She said I was an artist and praised my piano playing skills.

Later I found out that the girl was a student who was catching the same train as me, and of course, she was going to college.

Then, she enthusiastically asked me to drink soy milk. At that time, the girl was indeed a little too enthusiastic.

But she didn't seem to care much about these things. Despite my repeated refusals, she still ordered two bowls.

I was naturally embarrassed to drink it. How could I let a girl buy me soy milk? But the girl was also a bit strange and she got angry right away...

Helpless, I could only obey his orders.

We were going to take a train. After getting on, the girl sat next to me and continued to chat with me about something.

Just because it was just a small performance in a rural town, she thought I was some kind of artist.

There aren't so many coincidences. The place where I'm going to work and the place where she goes to school are not in the same city.

We boarded the same train but got off at different places.

Before she got off the bus, she wrote me a string of addresses and told me to send her a letter anyway. If that were the case... she would be very happy...

In fact, I later found out that the girl had actually seen me digging into my pocket in front of the breakfast stall, so her so-called deliberate behavior was just an act.

Now that I think about it, it’s actually... quite embarrassing to be seen by a girl who adores me looking so lonely.

The reason why I knew all this later was because... that girl became my wife..."

The old man looked at the old photo on the large LED screen behind the stage again. Everyone knew that the focus of the old man's eyes must be on the face of the woman in the photo who also had a pigtail.

The girl in the photo looks innocent, and her face looking at the man in front of the piano shows undisguised admiration and tenderness.

Su Yan, who was standing next to the old man, listened to the story he told with great seriousness.

On the one hand, the story told by the old man has a strong sense of picture, and the old man's words seem to have a kind of magic. Although Su Yan has not experienced that era, he seems to be in that small scene.

Furthermore, the old man mentioned before that the so-called proposition he gave to these contestants was "the old times".

If the five words "the old times" are just a rough proposition, then the stories told by the old people are the core content that interprets these five words.

And all of this is related to the songs composed by the contestants.

The other contestants had similar expressions to Su Yan.

Everyone realized this, so they held their breath and tried to engrave every detail of what the old man said into their minds in order to complete the subsequent song creation.

Only Jiang Zipeng wanted to write down the details of Mr. Li's story, but his mind was very confused.

After all... he doesn't understand anything about so-called songwriting!

When it comes to this variety show, he just did some last-minute preparation and only prepared some lyrics and melodies for the show.

Therefore, the more detailed the old man's story was, the more his work would probably go against the old man's story.

Jiang Zipeng took a few deep breaths, reminding himself not to lose his composure!

After all...his biggest opponent, that kid Su Yan, should be in a similar situation to him.

Even if he had more preparation time than himself, there would definitely not be a song prepared in advance that could completely fit the story of Mr. Li.

Maybe... Su Yan didn't even prepare a nostalgic song with the theme of "The Old Times" in advance!

Jiang Zipeng is usually a bit arrogant, but he is not a fool. After hearing what he has heard, he naturally understands that the "old times" the old man mentioned are most likely related to his wife's past relationship.

Among the songs I prepared in advance, the one called "Old Times" also expresses my nostalgia for past love.

In this case, if the full score for the music creation later is 80, then Jiang Zipeng is confident that his song can at least get points!

Regardless of whether such a score can crush several other professional music creation contestants, it is enough to prove that his song is not "ghostwritten" and is definitely higher than Su Yan's.

After thinking this through, Jiang Zipeng felt relieved.

But when he looked at Su Yan from the side, seeing Su Yan's serious expression, he felt disgusted and irritated.

He is indeed a clown promoted by capital. Even at this time, does he still think of himself as a musical genius?

Still pretending?? ! !

The contestants on the stage all realized that Mr. Li did not just provide a five-word proposition, but on this basis, gave the contestants a smaller "framework". As for those netizens who watched the live broadcast through TV or mobile phones, they naturally understood the old man's "good intentions".

[Hiss! I knew that for the first round, Mr. Li would not just use five words as the topic and ask the contestants to write a song! ]

[Of course, Mr. Li is a professional musician. And as you just heard, Mr. Li was also a participant in the ghostwriting incident. As the master of Su Yan and Jiang Zipeng, I think Mr. Li must want to know the truth! ]

[Well... but putting all that aside, I think the story Mr. Li told is quite heartwarming. He and his wife must be quite loving.]

[According to Mr. Li, when he was young, he was a young man with both talent and good looks. It is only natural that such a young man should be worshipped and admired by others.]

[Need I say this? You can tell from the photos that when Mr. Li was young, his temperament and appearance were not inferior to some of the so-called young handsome guys nowadays. The girl he was talking about must be the girl in the photo. I really envy the relationship at that time.]

[Yes, in that era, if you liked someone, you would always like that person, get married, have children, and be with that person for the rest of your life...]

[The story is definitely not that simple, but Mr. Li’s wife seems to have passed away...]

[Ah? I hope Mr. Li will be more considerate. But this story, or the topic, is definitely not simple. Mr. Li just said that he has always wanted to write this story into a song, but he has tried for a long time and has not succeeded.]

[I think it may be because he missed and loved his wife too much, so Mr. Li, as the person involved, could not write a song that satisfied him. However, even Mr. Li could not write a song that satisfied him, so how could the six contestants on the stage write one? 】

[What a joke, even the music master Mr. Li couldn't write such a perfect piece, let alone the six contestants on the stage. I think Zhuo Yanrong and his team probably couldn't write about Mr. Li's experience and feelings, not to mention the time limit of one hour! ]

[Hiss! If that's the case, then wouldn't the first round of questions be absolutely devilishly difficult? ]

[I think there is no problem. The more difficult the questions are, the more we can see the abilities of these six contestants, right? To be precise, it should be to see Su Yan's true level! ]

[That's true. If the question was really given on the spur of the moment and Su Yan didn't know about it in advance, as long as Su Yan could write a song with a similar mood to Mr. Li's story, I would admit that Su Yan is indeed a genius...]

【………】

On the stage, Mr. Li, the person who set the question, seemed to have forgotten his original intention of telling this story.

He was just telling the story of the happiest and most tender period of his life with his memories as a husband.

"After that, I went to the city where I worked. It was a school, teaching children to play the piano. It was my first job in life, so I put all my thoughts and focus on it.

And I forgot about that girl.

Later, I got my first salary in my life. One morning, when I saw soy milk in the school cafeteria, I suddenly thought of that girl again.

It can be said that I didn’t have much impression of that girl at that time, and I personally don’t really believe in love at first sight.

But when I saw the soy milk, I thought of that girl again. After all, as a fellow villager, she was a girl in college and she really treated me to a bowl of soy milk. It was only right that I should write her back.

Fortunately, the address the girl left me was still there, so I wrote a letter to the girl that day.

The content of the letter was not long, it just expressed my gratitude and some words about my current situation.

And the day I received a reply from that girl... was a month later..."

Having said that, the old man unconsciously looked at the girl in the photo again, and this time his eyes were a little more bloodshot.

The people at the scene, including the six contestants including Su Yan, the other three guests including Cheng Xiaoer and Xie Ming, and the audience, were all listening to the old man's story with bated breath.

Xie Ming, who was sitting in the guest seat, frowned slightly.

Before this, she thought that the stories she heard were all about the pure and innocent feelings of that era.

But after hearing the old man mention that Mr. Li would receive the reply "a month later", she felt that Mr. Li's wife was also a "smart" girl.

After all, with the limited information Xie Ming knew, he could tell it apart.

When Mr. Li was young, even though he didn't have a job, he was already a successful artist.

So, that girl, Mr. Li’s wife, naturally likes Mr. Li.

If you like someone, you must find a way to tie that person to yourself and keep his or her heart!

In addition to deliberately showing goodwill and inviting Mr. Li to drink soy milk, the girl also used some tricks.

That is, after Mr. Li wrote the letter to him, he deliberately kept Mr. Li in suspense, which is why Mr. Li did not receive the letter until a month later.

Xie Ming thought he understood men's minds very well.

Just like how she treats Jiang Zipeng, the more she makes him unable to get what she wants, the more he will cherish her.

In the same way, even if you want to be with this person, you should show that you don't care, so that the other person will not think you are cheap.

And this is why the girl replied after such a long time!

In fact...if it is based on the current situation, Xie Ming's analysis may not be wrong.

But...Xie Ming overlooked a fact.

That was... 68 years...
