62: Chapter 62, a song called "The Ordinary Road," actually made the goddess cry?!

As his voice fell, Lu Li tapped the strings on the screen a few times to briefly test the audio, not forgetting to turn the phone's speaker up to the maximum.

"Oh, not bad."

Lu Li raised an eyebrow and smiled at Shen Qingxue.

[What the heck is "oh, not bad"? Why does it feel like there is a Taiwanese accent?]

[I really admire Lu Li; he keeps keeping us in suspense.]

[Sing quickly, sing already!]

["the ordinary road"? I have never heard this song before. Is it another original by Lu Li?]

[Alright, don't hold your expectations too high. Writing a hit song once is an accident, twice is luck, and a third time is impossible.]

[Indeed, anyway, I don't believe he can sing another hit song.]

At the scene.

Lu Li did not continue to joke around, but relying on the memories in his mind, he slowly strummed the prelude on his phone.

The concise melody of the prelude beat one by one, carrying an indescribable sense of emptiness that felt very atmospheric upon hearing it.

Shen Qingxue sat quietly on the stone stool, her gaze falling on Lu Li's face without speaking or making any redundant movements.

Lu Li lowered his head, his fingers pressing rhythmically on the phone screen. Although this playing method was a bit awkward, he quickly got used to it.

Soon, the neither-too-long-nor-too-short prelude ended, and Lu Li finally spoke up.

"Wandering ones, on the road."

"Are you leaving? Via, via."

"Fragile ones, living in pride."

"That was once what I looked like."

Lu Li's voice was not loud, yet it carried an inexplicable magnetism, as if he were slowly narrating a story through song.

Shen Qingxue's eyelashes trembled slightly at that instant.

From the very moment Lu Li opened his mouth, she knew this song was extraordinary; it was another hit song worthy of being called palace-grade.

And the netizens in the livestream room were severely shocked.

[Holy crap! What is going on? ! ! !]

[Oh my god, the moment he started singing, I instantly wanted to kneel.]

[The sense of story is extremely thick; Lu Li really has some skills.]

[When the prelude started, I knew this song was unusual. Now that the vocal part is out, I am still dumbfounded.]

[The quality of this song is definitely another hit song!]

At the scene, as the lyrics progressed bit by bit, the song finally reached the chorus, which was the climax.

"I once crossed mountains and seas."

"And passed through crowds of people."

"I once possessed everything."

"In the blink of an eye, it all drifted away like smoke."

"I once was lost and disappointed."

"Lost all direction."

"Until I saw that being ordinary... is the only answer."

When singing up to this point, Lu Li's voice revealed a sense of comprehension after seeing through everything.

Shen Qingxue's fingers grasping her white dress tightened subconsciously, and her mood was clearly far from calm.

The number of viewers in the livestream room broke one million again at this moment!

[Once possessed everything, and in the blink of an eye it drifted away like smoke... These lyrics are so piercingly relatable.]

[Turns out being ordinary is the only answer?]

[I seem to have found the reason why Lu Li gave up striving.]

[I kneel, I am truly kneeling.]

[Could this really be Lu Li's experience? I think he is quite talented, yet he is just an eighteenth-tier small transparency.]

[It's possible. I'm a bit curious about what Lu Li has been through. A young man in his twenties can actually write this kind of song.]

[Did I read it wrong? The goddess seems to have cried?]

[Zoom in a bit closer, big brother cameraman!]

In the monitoring room, Director Zhou also noticed this scene, and he immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie.

"Zoom in the camera! Quick! Give Shen Qingxue a close-up!"

The cameraman's hand trembled slightly, and then steadily pushed the lens forward.

Shen Qingxue sat on the stone stool, and it was obvious to see that her eye rims were slightly red, with a little moisture staining her eyelashes.

Of course, it was still far from the level of crying.

Even so, it still shocked many netizens quite a bit.

[Holy crap, her eye rims really turned red!]

[Forgive me for my low culture, so what on earth is this song about that it can make the goddess look like this?]

[I feel like this song is not written for others, but for every ordinary person.]

[Say no more, say no more, I am about to break down.]

Lu Li did not look at Shen Qingxue; he didn't know her eye rims had turned red, and just kept his head down while playing and continued to sing.

"I once destroyed everything of mine."

"Just wanting to leave forever."

"I once fell into endless darkness."

"Wanting to struggle but unable to extricate myself."

"I once was like you, like him, like those weeds and wild flowers."

"Despairing, yet longing."

"Living ordinarily while both crying and laughing."

At this moment in the livestream room, netizens no longer knew what words to use to describe their feelings.

They successively called upon everyone in the livestream room to type the words awesome on the public screen!

[Awesome! ! !]

[Awesome! ! !]

Finally, the lyrics also reached the finale.

Lu Li's voice was also lighter than at the beginning.

"Time is silent, just like this."

"Tomorrow is already here, hia hia."

"The road where the wind blew is still far."

"Where has your story reached?"

The final lingering note slowly dissipated in the sea breeze, swallowed by the night.

[When first listening, one does not know the meaning of the tune; upon listening again, one is already the person in the tune.]

[Too stunning, too shocking!]

[What is being sung is not a song, but life itself.]

[To be honest, I didn't feel much about Lu Li before, but his three songs made me completely turn from a passerby to a fan.]

[I declare that this is the best song I have heard this year, without a doubt—no, wait, except for Lu Li's other two songs.]

In the monitoring room.

Director Zhou had a complicated expression. He really wanted to confirm whether this was truly a song that an eighteenth-tier small transparency could write.

"Sigh, I lost out, way too much of a loss."

"Director, why is it a loss? Aren't the data looking pretty good?" the Deputy Director asked with some puzzlement.

"You don't understand, you don't understand. Had I known earlier, I should have bargained with him more over that song "little dimples". I've lost a fortune..."

Director Zhou shook his head with a look of heartache.

...

"Hey, returning your phone."

Lu Li locked the screen of the phone and handed it back to Shen Qingxue.

Shen Qingxue took the phone. She didn't speak, but just clutched the phone in the palm of her hand with her head lowered and wet eyelashes, yet she had an answer in her heart.

"the ordinary road" was the only answer.

But it was not a compromise with life, but rather a sober return to the true nature of life after experiencing thousands of hardships.
