The Book of All Things: Born for Joy

There was no time to spare while they changed clothes, so Zhao Qianfan and Du Zihua filled in for them.

The first singer was Du Zihua, and Li Zichun gave him Lu Han's "Our Tomorrow":

A person reaches the end but accidentally returns to the beginning.

A new world. Only now do I realize that time is not absolute.

Until someone else can understand how I feel.

No need to say or ask, I understand; every moment feels like forever.

I saw that there wasn't much time left.

I can make a wish. I wish there were one more day for our tomorrow.

I asked how much time was left.

We thought that just one more day would fulfill our prophecy.

......

There's actually a legend that can reverse time.

Because a dream told me that love is never reserved.

That's when I became brave.

I see there's not much time left to make a wish. I wish there were one more day, our tomorrow.

I asked how much time was left, hoping that just one more day would fulfill our prophecy and accumulate into an eternal memory.

Du Zihua's clean and sincere voice interprets this song with delicate tenderness yet full of firm emotion. The song is rich in emotion and resonates deeply; it's like the sun-drenched, radiant sea, gently touching the listener's heart.

Actually, he wished Li Zichun could stand by his side at this moment, because they really didn't have much time. Before meeting Li Zichun, he never thought he would fall in love with a man or take this step. It was because of Li Zichun's courage that he was able to do this.

He had wondered if he would have fallen in love with another man in the same way. The answer was no.

What he loved from beginning to end was his soul, that unconventional and innovative spirit, that unrestrained talent and charm, and the joy that made people unable to resist falling into it.

After finishing one song, he began the next. By this time, Li Zichun had changed his clothes and joined him in singing "Memories of Farewell to the Nine Gates":

A song that settles the tower, a glance that marks half a lifetime of planning.

All I see is that turbulent, unpredictable scene. Entering this gate, there's no turning back. No need to proclaim it aloud. I bow again before the altar, to the desolate ruins battered by wind and rain. Let us reunite: Actors are often unlucky, a pitiful place where deep affection remains. All those in their finery are old and worn. The story of the Yellow Springs never ends; the play, without backbone, is hard to control. A new act begins, and it all starts anew. It is said that the human world cannot remain a stage for drama: I mistakenly entered the heavenly realm, urging me to put down the sand in my hand. I opened my mouth to sing, but my voice was hoarse. My powdered face and draped robes utter a false cry. Pity me, I sit here, not daring to touch the tea before the Buddha. I will only be a mortal, singing of love, romance, and fleeting beauty: Passing the Rouge Tower, untying the knot in my hair, all I sing is of deep affection that is short-lived. Entering this gate, there's no turning back. No need to proclaim it aloud. I face the mirror, concealing the desolate ruins battered by wind and rain. The monument is old...

Play: "I mistakenly entered the imperial palace, and was advised to lay down the sand in my hand. I saw that person off on horseback in the imperial street. The tale of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman was broken. I pity myself and swallow my bitterness. Unable to obtain tea before the Buddha, I only left three inches of soil to plant February flowers."

After Du Zihua finished singing, he hugged Li Zichun and spun her around on stage, saying with tears in his eyes and a smile, "You are the love of my life."

He didn't hide his voice from the microphone at all when he said it, and everyone in the audience heard his cheesy declaration, which sparked a commotion of screams and discussions.

Li Zichun was no pushover either. She lightly bit his collar, nudged his chin with her head, created some distance between them, and said with a coquettish laugh, "Hehe, you're still a bit green."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned slightly and fell into Zhao Qianfan's arms, who was walking over. He said with a smile, "Hey, your pecs are looking pretty good lately."

Zhao Qianfan chuckled and gently bit his earlobe, then chuckled as she spoke into the microphone on his body, "You smell very nice too..."

As he spoke, the melody of the next song began, the alluring "Sigh":

Li Zichun: A fire ignites in the deepest darkness, illuminating the darkest corner of the night. My fingertips trace my pulse, brewing a secret storm.

Zhao Qianfan: Petals fall like sounds beneath the clouds, challenging my nerves, testing my clarity. The first drops of sweet rain have already intertwined and merged. We are greedy for innocent evil.

Zhao Qianfan: Faint whispers permeate Wushan

Li Zichun: Like a dream, floating in the clouds

Zhao Qianfan: Entangled in lovemaking, indulging in immediate pleasure

Li Zichun: The Other Shore of Dreams Falls into the Muddy Pool

Ah~~

Zhao Qianfan: Acknowledging loneliness, keeping awake as a companion, no longer alone, keep me company.

Li Zichun:

Forget, forget, forget everything, sway to my rhythm.

Shaking, shaking, and shaking again, a faint light appears and disappears.

Everything is the same, all mortal phenomena are illusions.

Desire fills the physical body, fleeing on the edge of dreams.

Hmph~ Ah~~

......

Desire has filled the physical body, and it is fleeing on the edge of dreams.

The two's alluring and seductive poses, coupled with the catchy melody and their immense popularity, ignited the passion of the entire audience.

The two then collaborated on a version of "Under Investigation" by Zhou Shen and Hu Mengzhou:

Is it still worthwhile to abandon the rules?

After giving up on redemption, the world becomes gray.

After giving up out of cowardice, what choices should one make?

Memories overlap, forgetting still chokes me.

How can one face such a desperate situation?

I don't understand, in the cycle of reincarnation, who will be compassionate?

Unwilling, hesitant, indifference is a form of defense.

Please don't make the same mistake again; in the end, remain upright.

If the promise of time is broken...

How could I doubt the raging fire that tears my heart apart, the boiling tears of bitterness?

Your reflection in the mirror shattered silently within me.

Expecting eternal rewards, perhaps the path to brightness has already begun.

......

C'è una crepa in ogni cosa (Everything has cracks)

è cosi che entra la luce (That's where the light shines in)

......

Seeing each other is easy, but seeing each other again is difficult.

Guilt and love are intertwined.

But the longing I once yearned for

Burning the last bit of cold

(Swan Lake Overture) ......”

After the two finished their duet, the whole venue went wild, and everyone was mentally giving them a score.

The collaboration between Li Zichun, Li Jiawei, and Sun Xiaoling can only be considered a complete one. The songs are mostly short and concise, with melodious and languid tunes, suitable for listening to while lying down.

His collaboration with Du Zihua and Zhao Qianfan seemed more comfortable, relaxed, and effortless.

It's hard to say whether these two are better.

After the two finished singing, the stage was handed over to Li Zichun, who performed his usual old songs, songs that he had written for other singers. Of course, most of them were songs written for women, since he was dressed in women's clothing.
