The Book of All Things: Born for Joy

185. True love is as high as the sky.

Wearing a cashmere coat adorned with stars, Du Zihua stood righteously in the center of the stage. He first sang two songs from his new album, "Young and Promising" and "The First Dream Awakening," followed by "My Favorite in My Life," a new song written for him by Li Zichun:

If you patiently wait for the day when you finally meet the love of your life...

Who cares that our relationship is always fraught with unexpected events?

Uncertain of the future, how could I have been willing, to cherish the one I love?

I have to watch the sea alone every day.

I'd rather never speak than tell you a lie.

If you pay attention to our relationship, you'll notice there's a slight distance between us.

I love you silently, but I dare not say it, not even a simple "I want to be with you."

Wooh oh

If true, if false

If one could be a clone of oneself

Will convey the tenderness in my heart

Dedicated to your only true friend

Obsessed, intoxicated

I hope you learn to cherish yourself.

Even if we are separated someday, I will still miss you.

I really miss you

......

If you foolishly wait for a certain day

Finally, we can wait

My lifelong love

Sometimes we may not be able to do things our own way, but as long as we do our best for him, that's the best we can do.

In order to perform this song well, Du Zihua pestered Li Zichun every day to teach him how to pronounce the words and how to sing the song better.

The performance was very successful. Although the audience came from all over the country and most of them couldn't understand Cantonese, it didn't hinder their love for the song. Du Zihua's deep affection was conveyed; the person he wanted to be with was already by his side.

Although he knew in his heart that the concert was named "Farewell" probably because it was also a farewell to himself, he pretended to be completely unaware and indifferent, only hoping to be with him, even for just a second longer.

Li Zichun had become accustomed to his attentiveness. When Zhao Qianfan was around, he would compete with him for favor. Moreover, when he was alone, his possessiveness became even stronger, and he wished he could protect him like a bodyguard 24 hours a day.

Li Zichun let it go, thinking that he was still young and just needed to be considerate of his feelings.

Perhaps because he did so much, everyone treated him with utmost respect, to the point that he often forgot that he was only in his early twenties.

After Du Zihua finished singing, Li Zichun, who had already changed his clothes, appeared on stage. He smiled and went straight up to give him a hug, which caused a stir among the audience.

There are simply too many shippers for these guys. Some ship Li Zichun and Zhao Qianfan, some hope for him and Du Zihua, and a small number of "ex-shippers" ship his love-hate relationship with Li Ke, his four-way love affair with Qin Junzhi, and even stories about him and Uncle Qi are circulating online.

These are just the male ones. If you include the female ones, there are countless rumors. Every one of them who has worked with him has a little story. From strong women like Fan Liwen and Lin Xuehua to singers like Liu Xueqi and Li Jiawei, he covers almost everything.

He usually just laughs off these fabrications from the news media as long as they're not too outrageous; after all, they all need to make a living too. As long as the impact is within a controllable range, people in the entertainment industry generally turn a blind eye.

Li Zichun's hug was genuinely out of happiness for him. Du Zihua's singing skills have improved rapidly, and he is almost on par with Zhao Qianfan.

The two waved and laughed on stage, saying loudly, "We know what you want to see, but this is a concert, so don't mess around with each other."

"Alright, next up we'll be singing a choral song, 'The World Will Always Be Good to You'."

Du Zihua sang the male voice, and Li Zichun naturally sang the female voice. The two looked at each other, smiled, and began to sing:

Hoo~ Ha~ Hoo~ Ha~ Hoo~ Ha~

male:

Is this the highest mountain in the world, or is there another place higher than the sky?

Female:

There are mountains higher than this in the world, but love cannot find anything better than you.

(Male) Female: (No one can compare to you) There's always someone better.

Male (Female): True love is as high as the sky (love is even higher).

Man: A thousand good things

Together: When it comes to martial arts, who in the mortal world is truly superior?

Or, different paths, same ultimate techniques

But I know that in terms of love, there is no better; to my heart, the world will always be good to you.

......

"Treat my heart, and the world will always be good to you."

Du Zihua's cheerful and straightforward style, combined with Li Zichun's resilient tenderness, creates a powerful and inspiring effect, fully expressing the emotions and righteousness in the lyrics.

After the two finished singing, Du Zihua walked off the stage with a smile, while Li Zichun continued with the rest of the performance.

He stood on the stage with a beaming smile and said, "I know many of you came here today to listen to old songs, but I've written so many songs for others that I've almost forgotten many of them myself. The final stage of this concert is a 'New Songs Concert' where you get to know me."

"The same ten songs, the same me, you are fortunate to be the first listeners of these ten new songs tonight."

"Because it's a ten-concert tour, there will be ten different versions of new song concerts, ten themes, and nearly a hundred new songs will be released. Anyway, you've all come to the right place."

"I hope everyone enjoys the music and has a great time tonight."

"Enough with the small talk, let's get started."

"Tonight's theme is 'love.' May you all be loved and have the courage to love others."

Li Zichun sat on a high stool in the center of the stage, the stage began to flash, and the entire floor lights shone like a rotating galaxy. Accompanied by live music, she sang Zhang Liangying's "If Love Continues":

That couple on the street looks like us.

As the city lights begin to twinkle, two more tragic events unfold.

Let go of the embrace and go your separate ways

My eyes welled up with tears when I saw them.

Two broken faces, tears streaming down their faces, without turning back.

It's as if we're reliving yesterday.

What if we had continued to love each other a long time ago?

This is the last time I believe in forever.

Lying in your warm palms requires no imagination

My long, lonely wandering will begin in the future

What if we had continued to love each other a long time ago?

Undoubtedly, love is regarded as a faith.

But life has already taken a completely different turn.

I hope I'll never learn to be strong.

......

The couple on the street seemed to be like us; once they let go of each other's embrace, they went their separate ways.
