Chapter 1222 Silence
The whole stadium was boiling with excitement. The entire Staples Center was spinning at high speed. Not only the red carpet, but even the stadium could feel the madness.

The heat waves were rolling, the earth was shaking, and the air was burning.

Even though everyone knew about Anson's popularity and August 31st's achievements last year, what was happening before their eyes was still incredible. Even Luther Vandross, who had attended the Grammy Awards many times, was stunned.

“I’ve never witnessed anything like it.”

There was a hustle and bustle in the place, and all topics revolved around Anson.

however.

The protagonist who was in the eye of the storm was completely unaware of this. He stood on the red carpet and was still enjoying tonight's party.

Amidst thousands of gazes, Anson stopped, turned around, and took a step forward.

Anson took two steps at a time and walked quickly forward, stopping in front of a man.

The man was about thirty years old, neatly dressed in a shirt and wool vest, as well as a bow tie and jacket, attending tonight's Grammy Awards ceremony in the most high-end style, even wearing a light gray bowler hat.

There was a hint of stiffness and nervousness on his clean face, but his eyes never left the members of the August 31st band, not just Anson.

And Lily. And Connor. And Miles.

The anticipation and excitement flashing in his eyes quietly express his admiration and respect.

and.

The moment Anson approached her, she held her breath involuntarily and her face turned red.

However, Anson did not notice it for the time being, as his attention was completely attracted by the vinyl record neatly placed on the chest of the man in front of him.

"Is this... the LP of 'Midsummer Midnight'?"

Anson did not conceal his surprise.

Looking up, I can see the person in front of me nodding vigorously in affirmation.

Anson turned around and waved, "Come on, the vinyl record is out."

The three of them swarmed over, all huddled together, poking their heads out like moles.

The vinyl record was completely black, and the cover was a picture of the night sky with colorful stars flowing. Four blurry figures flashed by like shooting stars, and each figure represented a different color, lighting up the night sky in a low-key manner.

Right below, a row of elegant handwriting reads:

"Midsummer. Midnight."

"August 31st Band."

Anson couldn't control his joy and looked up at the person in front of him.

"I heard that they were all sold out on the first day of sale. We hope to get even one copy of the collection. This is the first time I've seen the real thing."

The man in front of him also had excited eyes. He opened his mouth and babbled something, but he was unable to express himself. He gestured anxiously, but the vinyl record in his hand prevented him from expressing himself clearly.

Originally, Anson thought it was because the noise at the scene was too exaggerated, he couldn't hear clearly, and conversation was too difficult. In addition, the fans were too excited and he couldn't express himself accurately. This happened more than once or twice.

But Anson soon realized that the situation was slightly different from what he had expected.

The person in front of me may have hearing or vocal impairments. He is trying to express himself with his lips, but only some unclear syllables come out.

Anson smiled and signed.

"This is the first time I've seen the real thing. I heard it was sold out on the first day."

Instantly, Anson could see the man's eyes brighten. …

Archie-Fearn knew he was doing something stupid.

A disabled person who has a 30 percent hearing loss and cannot speak actually wants to join in the fun at the Grammy Awards.

People with disabilities like them face numerous challenges when going to crowded areas in their daily lives, not to mention occasions like the Grammy Awards, which is like an ant jumping into the sea and throwing themselves into a torrent.

How should they protect themselves in the crowd, how should they seek help when an accident happens, and how should they integrate into the scene?
The wisest thing to do is to stay away from crowded areas to avoid causing trouble to others and to avoid hurting yourself.

Therefore, they always hide in dark corners and disappear from people's sight. It's not because they don't exist, but because it's their instinct to protect themselves.

But now, Archie is actually ready to walk into the trap?

His friends who had various disabilities like him all advised him to think twice, as this was a very severe and risky challenge.

However, he still wanted to give it a try.

He wanted to tell Anson in person, not anything else, just a thank you.

Thank you Anson for making that music, thank you Anson for still believing in dreams, thank you Anson for still stubbornly and lonely insisting on meaningless things, thank you Anson for using music to light up a ray of light in their chaotic world.

Of course, it's not just Anson, there are other members of the August 31st band as well.

It's not just about music. When the band was touring the streets of Europe, they explored that land and the possibilities of life step by step. Even if no one paid attention and no one listened, they never gave up.

They may not know it, but to Archie, it means the world.

He didn't want to cause trouble or trouble to anyone, nor did he want to affect other people's mood of enjoying the party. He just wanted to convey his thoughts to Anson and the band.

A tiny bit of insignificant thought, to him, is the light that ignites the whole world——

In this vast world, he is always in his own corner, silently cheering for Anson and the band, and also cheering for every lonely soul trapped in the darkness.

Despite his hesitation, fear and struggle, he still wanted to give it a try.

So, Archie showed up, confused like a fool, and stupidly took a position in the front row of the Staples Center a whole day in advance, waiting in line, just hoping to get a seat in the front row of the red carpet.

However, it was not until it was about to happen that Archie realized——

How should he tell Anson?

In the torrent of the audience, he was like an ant and a speck of dust. How should he convey his feelings to the band?
Archie was stunned and didn't know what to do. He had no solution at all.

So, leave?
No.

There was no solution, but Archie still refused to leave.

He just stood there stubbornly, holding high his treasured vinyl record.

Just like the band August 31st, he believed that even if they couldn't hear his voice, as long as he was firm and strong enough, his inner strength could be passed on to the band.

Quietly, stubbornly, Archie held up the record.

The world was still noisy, but in Archie's ears, it was not loud. The noise was surging outside a ball of light fog, and the ferocious heat waves and halos never came close.

Although standing in the crowd, Archie seemed like an alien, standing alone. He couldn't hear others, and others couldn't see him either.

Then, Anson appeared and met him.
