172: Chapter 172 A Song of East Wind Breaks~

Lu Li looked at this comment, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"What do you mean by lacking restraint?"

He clearly wrote songs with a good sense of proportion, right?

However, he didn't have time to complain, because every time he refreshed the comment section, a flood of comments filled it.

Before long, the prelude began.

After the prelude, Shen Qingxue's clear and distant voice rang out just at the right moment.

"A cup of parting sorrow, standing lonely at the window."

"I am behind the door, pretending you haven't left yet."

Shen Qingxue's voice was also a bit deeper than usual, carrying a faint, unshakeable melancholy.

"Revisiting the old place, the full moon makes it even more lonely."

"The sober candle flame in the middle of the night cannot bear to blame me."

As the song progressed step by step, the whole song finally reached the chorus part.

"Who is playing an east wind breaks on the pipa."

"The years peel off on the wall, seeing childhood."

"I still remember that we were both very young back then."

"And now the zither music lingers, you have never heard my waiting."

Hearing this, Shen Qingxue quietly glanced at Lu Li, who was listening to the song quietly with his eyes closed.

Although she really wanted to ask again how such beautiful lyrics were written.

But after thinking about it, she still didn't have the heart to interrupt this beautiful moment.

Being able to listen to music so quietly was not bad either.

...

"Who is playing, an east wind breaks, on the pipa."

"Maple leaves dye the story, I see through the ending."

"The ancient path outside the fence, I held your hand and walked across."

"In the years of desolate smoke and overgrown weeds, even parting was very silent."

When the very last coda also stopped.

Lu Li slowly opened his eyes, feeling very satisfied.

It was simply celestial music.

To be honest, although he had heard this song countless times, listening to the version sung by Shen Qingxue still gave him a sense of freshness.

Moreover, her voice had something very special that could dig out the emotional core of a song to the extreme.

"Don't daydream, check how the comment section is reacting."

Shen Qingxue's voice rang out appropriately.

Lu Li came back to his senses, smiled at her, and then opened the comment section to take a look.

"Family members, kneeling at the opening, truly kneeling at the opening..."

"This prelude! This feeling! Awesome!"

"Holy shit, this kid Lu Li really has a way with writing national style; every single song gives a different feeling."

"The goddess sings so damn well!!!"

"The previous red dust inn was about living and dying with passion, but this east wind breaks is... regret?"

"I'm numb, this faint sense of regret, I can't tell where it hurts, it just feels stuffy in my heart."

"The lyrics are also amazing. Revisiting the old place makes the full moon even more lonely. I have never heard such imagery in any national style song."

"This is true national style, okay!"

On the other hand, in the comment section of qingyu, some netizens had already run over to compare.

"Just finished listening to qingyu and came over. How should I put it? It feels completely out of dimensionality."

"Objectively speaking, the production standard of qingyu is very high and it sounds good, but you forget it right after listening. Meanwhile, east wind breaks is the kind that you keep aftertasting after listening."

"I declare that Rock Sugar Pear is the eternal god!"

"Starlight Entertainment over there is probably going to be pissed to death Hahaha."

"Don't step on one to praise another; each has its own merits (but east wind breaks really sounds better)."

Lu Li flipped through the comments one by one, and the arc of his mouth couldn't be pressed down no matter what.

But soon, he noticed that some different voices started appearing in the comment section.

"To be honest, I feel east wind breaks is a bit too sad; it feels uncomfortable to listen to."

"I still prefer the briskness of qingyu; listening to it puts you in a good mood."

"Shen Qingxue's vocal skills are fine, but the style of this song doesn't really suit her, right?"

"I think red dust inn sounds better."

Lu Li looked at these comments, and his expression didn't change much.

Because he simply looked at the homepages of a few accounts, and they were basically real people.

Therefore, it was clear that these comments were different from those obviously fake internet trolls before.

Their tone was very natural, and the accounts were normal old accounts with avatars, nicknames, and historical activities.

Although the reviews were mixed, this was real feedback from passersby.

"Not bad, not trolls."

Shen Qingxue leaned over at some point, lowered her head to glance at his mobile phone screen, and her tone carried a hint of elation.

"It's impossible for any song to be liked by everyone. Some people find it too sad, and some find it not quite suitable—that's all normal."

Lu Li nodded, and he thought so too.

After all, no matter how good or excellent a song was, there would still be groups of people who couldn't find an audience for it.

The population base was right there.

...

Half an hour after the release of east wind breaks.

It directly topped the hot search list in first place!

And the song qingyu was not to be outdone, ranking second, with only a difference of tens of thousands in popularity from east wind breaks!

This could already be considered a very small gap.

Lu Li's phone completely turned into a vibrating motor, and the message notification sounds were endless.

He simply muted his phone and placed it face down on the coffee table.

"I won't look anymore, I won't look anymore. If I keep looking, my eyes will go blind."

Lu Li leaned back on the sofa, raised his head to stare at the ceiling, and let out a long breath.

Shen Qingxue sat opposite him, also holding a mobile phone in her hand.

But her posture was much more composed than Lu Li's, occasionally swiping the screen to check the growth of the data.

"The data is growing fast, aren't you curious?"

"I'm curious, but no matter how curious I am, I gotta let my eyes rest for a bit."

Lu Li put his arm across his forehead to block the light from the ceiling, looking lazy.

Shen Qingxue glanced at him and didn't press further.

The living room was quiet for a while.

After about two minutes, Lu Li suddenly took his hand off his forehead, turned his head to look at Shen Qingxue, and smiled mischievously.

"By the way, what do you think Starlight Entertainment is doing over there right now? Are they so anxious they're about to jump over the wall?"

Shen Qingxue's fingers paused on the screen for a moment, thought about it, and then spoke somewhat uncertainly.

"They should be in a meeting."

"A meeting? Really or fake."

"Mhm."

Shen Qingxue put down her phone, picked up her water cup and took a sip, then spoke leisurely.

"Zhao Ming is someone who cares a lot about data, especially after the release of qingyu; he will definitely stare at the data."

"Now the momentum of east wind breaks has vaguely surpassed qingyu. He can't possibly sit still. Given his personality, he should already be gathering people to discuss countermeasures."
