The Book of All Things: Born for Joy

Li Ke's singing skills are not top-notch, but they are above average, which is one of the reasons why Li Zichun was willing to partner with him to start a company.

"The next song, I don't really like the title." After Li Ke finished speaking, he glanced at Li Zichun, who looked back at him with a "laughable, you wish, there's no way to change it" expression, and then continued, "I'll dedicate a song called 'I Don't Deserve You' to everyone."

The audience burst into laughter; the song title was indeed a bit too much.

Li Ke felt a little strange after saying that, but she quickly adjusted her mindset and sang along with the music:

The street is too crowded; too many people have secrets.

There's fog on the glass; whose past has been hidden?

The emotions on your face are recreating that rain.

The alley is too winding

Can't go back to the story

The days are no longer green, and a few more lines have faded.

All that's left is me, empty of memories, in the big house.

The movie theater seats are spaced far apart.

There are no romantic scenes between the two characters.

You play chess with yourself

I haven't had time to write down your details yet.

Describe how I love you

You left me with a smile.

This feeling is wrong. I'm trying my best to salvage it.

I didn't give some of the thoughtful gestures I should have shown.

Your pouty wish is so humble, it's a compromise.

I overlooked you; you just needed someone to keep you company.

This feeling was wrong. I only realized it at the very end.

The plot is so vivid that one can hardly bear to turn the pages.

You are so tired

You silently recited the tears you shed for me several times.

How haggard you look, and how heartbroken I am as you suffer.

Your beauty is beyond my reach.

......"

The song flows smoothly and has a beautiful melody. Li Zichun inexplicably discovered that he and Jay Chou are quite compatible, so maybe they could develop in that direction.

Li Ke felt it was pretty good after singing, but then looked at Li Zichun next to her with a questioning look in her eyes. Seeing that the other party nodded, she gritted her teeth and said with a smile, "The next song, well, how should I put it, there's a high chance it will be banned. This might be your only chance to perform it. Get your recording phones ready."

His words piqued everyone's curiosity to the extreme. What kind of song would warrant being banned? I'm strangely looking forward to it.

Seeing everyone's eager expressions, Li Ke couldn't help but chuckle: "I'll dedicate a song, 'PLAY,' to you all."

Oh wow, is this definitely not a response to that song "I Don't Deserve You" from earlier?

However, the song title does indeed have a bit of an offensive element. Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw.

Li Ke took a deep breath and then signaled that they could begin. She started singing along to the music:

Innocent and wanton pajama sisters at 1 a.m.

A 10,000-person mountain gymnastics event at 5 a.m.

Discussion of European Avant-garde Underground Directors in the 1960s

90s Idol Comeback Autograph Session

A ten-day Arctic expedition at minus fifty degrees Celsius

Three days and two nights of hysterical catharsis through karaoke

Aromatherapy essential oils provide deep relaxation without the intention of inducing sleep.

Artistic Pretentious Party in Chaotic Times

Goddess with voluptuous breasts, wide hips, and a nine-headed figure

Male god with six-pack abs as if shooting an arrow

More important than money is the V-line (or abs).

I don't care if it's niche or mainstream, pshaw!

Whether you're into light and refreshing or heavy-handed tastes, I spit on you!

I spit on you, no matter what kind of beetle you are.

Pshaw! Pshaw! Play it all! (Ah)

I like everything, I can do everything, I can do everything

I like everything, I can do everything.

I like everything, I can do everything, I can do everything

I like everything and I can do everything

Pshaw, play everything!

Pshaw, play!

Do pui do play Do pui do play

"All PLAY"

The audience was swept up in the lively and jubilant music. The lyrics were indeed very experimental, avant-garde, and bold, perfectly suited to the occasion.

"A date with my artsy boyfriend on Wednesday afternoon"

He was completely captivated by the complete set of artsy, girly outfits.

Reading Hemingway at the 24-Hour Laundry on Friday

Creating fifty anonymous clones online is not tiring at all.

......

I don't care if you're a midfielder or a defender, pshaw!

Whether you're original or copying, I'll play.

No matter what kind of potato it is, I spit on it!

Pah! Pah! Play it all!

......"

The atmosphere was electric! The lyrics and melody are definitely perfect for dancing wildly in a bar—oops, let's savor them slowly.

The rapid-fire rap in the verses, the languid harmonies in the bridge, the unique singing style in the chorus, and the high notes at the end are all very layered. Coupled with his nonchalant attitude, the whole song has a playful and avant-garde feel that blends Chinese and Western elements.

After Li Ke finished singing, he quickly took a breath, and the atmosphere immediately ignited. Everyone was swaying to the rhythm. This song was definitely one that you would never hear in big venues like those on TV, but it was surprisingly good.

The number of viewers for the live stream also skyrocketed, breaking the 10 million mark and becoming the number one trending topic.

The people present were whispering amongst themselves, realizing that only a genius like him would dare to write such a song.

After Li Ke finished singing, he let out a long breath and quickly adjusted his breathing on the side.

Actually, this song wasn't on the setlist. He suddenly thought of it after we finished singing "I Don't Deserve It". Since we had practiced it before, we just let him sing it.

Li Ke was actually reluctant, but after thinking it over, it seemed like there was nowhere else to sing such a satirical song if not here. The TV station wouldn't allow such borderline songs to be performed publicly, so after considering it, this was the only option.

Li Zichun gestured to him, asking if he wanted to take a break before continuing, but he smiled and waved his hand, saying it was just like a fan meeting.

Li Ke, slightly out of breath, adjusted her breathing and slowly said, "The next song is my favorite in this new song concert. I don't know what you were feeling when you wrote it, but it was probably written for yourself, and also for everyone in the world. Every young person with ideals is lonely in the process of realizing their dreams. I'll dedicate 'The You of the Past' to everyone."

As the beautiful prelude began, Li Ke sang along to the rhythm of the music:

I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword.

Look at the prosperity of the world

Young hearts are always frivolous

Now you are home

The girl who once made you feel bad

Now there is no trace

Love always makes you long for and trouble you

I once left you bruised and bruised

Dilililidililililidenda

Dili Dili Dili Dili denda

Dili Dili Dili denda

Walk on the road of courage

Dili Dili Dili Dili Dili denda

Dili Dili Dili Dili Dili denda

Dililili Dililididenda

It was both sad and wonderful.

Every time I'm sad

just look at the sea alone

I always think of my friends on the road

How many are healing

Dilili.....

Countless lonely nights

Dlilili......

I woke up from last night's drunkenness

Whenever I feel sad, I look at the sea alone.

I always think of my friends on the road

How many are waking up

Let's drink this glass!

A good boy has a heart like the sea

Experienced the warmth and coldness of life

That smile is warm and innocent.

Every time I'm sad

just look at the sea alone

......

Having experienced all aspects of life and the vicissitudes of the world, this smile is warm and pure.

This is a song of remembrance for youth and a declaration of no regrets. The firm courage and confidence revealed in Li Ke's voice bring a natural strength, and compared with his previous performances, he is more at ease and composed.

Yan Xiaoli felt warmed by what she heard. She realized that her training these past few days had not been in vain, and she would continue to maintain high standards and strict requirements in the future.

Li Ke sang with great enthusiasm, and the audience at the scene was moved by the power conveyed in his voice. The crowd and passersby watching on the big screen outside the venue also applauded deeply.

The gifts and comments in the live stream never stopped; this is the kind of music everyone wants to hear, and that's the power of music.

"Alright, let's sing some less exciting songs next." Li Ke continued after the applause and cheers subsided, "The next song is dedicated to all the kids who have lost their way in love, especially those who came out of school as a couple but ended up alone in the crowd. It's called 'What We Promised'."

Li Ke took a minute or two to catch his breath, signaling to Li Zichun that he could begin, before slowly starting to sing along to the piano music:

Okay? A single sentence choked me up.

City as a background mirage

We are like being separated by an entire universe.

Goodbye, all vanished.

We promised we would never let go of each other's hands.

But reality says that love alone is not enough.

When we reach the fork in the road, you go left and I go right.

We were all so stubborn that we never looked back.

We agreed that even if we break up, we'll still be friends.

Time says we will never greet each other again.

I ran into you again in the crowd; you've become so thin.

I still fall for your eyes.

We promised to grow old together and watch the gentle flow of time.

But will become someone else's someone else's

We've reached another fork in the road. You go left, I go right.

We all forced ourselves not to look back.

We agreed to meet again in the next eternity.

Love will live on after time has retreated.

If we meet again

Don't be so thin.

I want to be forever captivated by your eyes.

This is the absurdity of hopeless love.

The entire song is melodious and beautiful, yet melancholic, resonating deeply with listeners and captivating them. Li Zichun's piano playing is impeccable, while Li Ke's slightly tearful voice is even more moving.

Li Zichun stood up, walked over with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Are you alright? Do you want to rest for a while?"

Li Ke snorted and said, "How can a man say he can't do it!"

Li Zichun clicked his tongue twice, looked him up and down, crossed his arms, took two steps back, and said, "What? I sell my art, not my body."

The audience burst into laughter.

Zhao Qianfan walked over, rolled her eyes, and said, "Dream on. If you're going to pick someone, you'll choose me first, right?"

Li Zichun rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, they're both about the same size, barely passable. I can't bring myself to do it."

Li Ke muttered under her breath, "It's all the same even with the lights off."

Li Zichun patted his butt and said, "You think you know so much?"

People at the scene and in the live broadcast room chuckled, and the number 666 was displayed rapidly.

Li Zichun coughed twice and said seriously, "Alright, there are only two songs left out of ten. What should we sing? Let me see how many people are watching the live stream first."

Yan Xiaoli walked over and whispered, "It's fluctuating around ten million. Although it can't compare to the one hundred million of the previous Chinese style new song concert, that had the involvement and promotion of official media. Judging from the current situation, this live broadcast can also be ranked among the top three in the history of live broadcasts."

Li Zichun smiled and said, "I understand."

He sat down at the piano and said, "The next song I want to dedicate is to someone, someone I miss very much, someone I may never see again. 'I Miss You So Much,' I wish you happiness and joy."

After saying that, he ignored the question marks in the live stream and the commotion at the venue, and began to sing, his fingers flitting across the piano like butterflies flitting among flowers, in sync with the live accompaniment:

The scene before my eyes after the lights were turned on

A huge room, a lonely bed

With the lights off, everything looks the same.

The wounds in my heart cannot be shared.

Life flows away with the years and fades with gray hair.

With your departure, happiness has vanished without a trace.

Let bygones fade away, let dreams take you to sleep.

As the numb heart gradually fades away

I miss you so much, but I don't show it.

I still stand on tiptoe, longing; I still let memories swirl around me.

I'm still crying with my eyes closed, still pretending I don't care.

I miss you so much, I miss you so much, yet I deceive myself.

......

I miss you so much, I miss you so much. Let's keep it a secret.

I miss you so much, I miss you so much, it's hidden deep in my heart.

The moment I begin to think of the prelude, my longing bursts forth like a flood.

Li Zichun's clear voice, sung with heart-wrenching emotion, made this commonly uttered phrase sound hypnotic.

Although it's inappropriate, I still want to say how much I miss you. Even knowing that we may never see each other again can't stop my desire to miss you.

After Li Zichun finished singing, he was momentarily lost in thought. The cheers and applause from the audience seemed to fade into the background noise. He sat blankly in front of the piano, not uttering a word.

Zhao Qianfan and Li Ke clapped along, but seeing that he didn't get up, they couldn't help but worry.

The song seemed to have captured everyone's attention. Zhao Qianfan took the microphone, whispered a few words in Li Ke's ear, and then the two of them shouted together, "I miss you too."

Li Zichun came to his senses and smiled with relief.
