Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 132, Section 130: Their Vast World Together

A simple song, "Three's Trip," resonated deeply with Li Zhi.

The dimly lit coffee shop, with its melodious guitar music, stirs the heart like a small boat.

"Lychee, lychee~"

As soon as the accompaniment ended, the two senior students standing in the resident area waved to Li Zhi, who was staring blankly in the front row.

"Eh?"

The short-haired girl raised her eyes, patted her skirt, stood up and walked to the resident singer Xinyi's side.

"I remember you said you were from Guangdong, right? Do you know any Beyond songs?"

Yes, I will.

Li Zhi blinked and nodded subconsciously.

"Want to sing together?"

Peipei smiled and stepped aside, her fingertips brushing across the guitar strings. The flowing strings of 2345 were filled with magic, enticing the short-haired girl in front of her to move forward step by step.

The two members of the Landlord's Cats duo have great personalities, and it didn't take them long to become friends with the two owners of the Relief Cafe.

Especially this short-haired junior girl nicknamed Little Lychee, who had endless topics to discuss with them.

So, as they were singing, they suddenly had a sudden inspiration, exchanged glances, and naturally extended an invitation.

"Huh? How could I do that?"

"What's wrong with that?"

While Li Zhi hesitated and stammered, Xin Yi shoved the round microphone into her hand without warning.

Her hesitation and doubt were certainly not because she was afraid she wouldn't sing well, or that she didn't know any of Beyond's songs.

As a hardcore music enthusiast, the works of this band that became popular all over the country were still no challenge for her.

but
But I haven't adjusted my mood yet!

There's no time to adjust.

Li Zhi gently grasped the microphone, looked around blankly for a moment, then looked at Zhou Mingyuan, and then her eyes met Gu Caiwei's with a "thud".

The next second, the sound of a guitar began.

At the end of October, the evening breeze shattered fragments of dusk, and light and song seemed to be escaping.

Following the streetlights, one can sense the hurried pace of pedestrians.

Singing in your own coffee shop can cure all unhappiness.

"It sounds good!"

The moment the melody starts, it's a classic.

After the song "Glorious Years" was finished, Zhou Mingyuan was the first to stand up and applaud vigorously.

Immediately afterwards, the customers in the store also clapped their hands, expressing their approval of the owner's customer service.

It must be admitted that this person is good-looking and sings well.

For many people, Beyond's songs aren't listened to on repeat like pop music, but rather every now and then, like sitting down with an old friend after a chance encounter and catching up on recent life.

"You know what."

The guitar music started again, and Zhou Mingyuan nudged Gu Caiwei with his elbow and whispered in her ear.

"Gigi Lai sings Cantonese songs, she has such a wonderful voice!"

Perhaps it was the loud cheers from the customers in the coffee shop, perhaps she herself was finding a little enjoyment in singing, or perhaps it was the deep anticipation hidden in the eyes of those in the front row.
After finishing the song, Li Zhi surprisingly defied expectations, and the labels of aloofness and social anxiety that had been attached to her seemed to vanish without a trace.

Instead of returning to the two men, she exchanged a knowing glance with the landlord's cat and continued singing.

In my field of vision, a short-haired girl holds a microphone, her eyes and voice clear and bright. Her pure white dress, illuminated by the overhead light, exudes an indescribable charm.

"Glorious Years," "Lover," and then the long prelude of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies."
As Lai Chi sang, she became more and more relaxed, her lips curving into a smile, and her every move exuded the charm of a Hong Kong star. Her enunciation and pronunciation were captivating.

In fact, most Cantonese songs are written with lyrics adapted to the local dialect, so the intonation of the song is not much different from that of spoken language.

Lai Chi doesn't usually speak Cantonese in person, so at this moment, the strong, melodious, and delicious flavors of her Cantonese are overwhelming.

In addition, Cantonese has nine tones and six pitches, which are rich and diverse in pitch changes, and even has entering tones, also known as "short sounds", making it sound even more varied and rhythmic.

The calming is soothing, the urgency is urgent, as if the person is no longer cold and aloof, but suddenly has a lot of emotions out of nowhere.

This is quite a contrast.

"Is that so?"

Gu Caiwei rested her chin on her hand, shook her head, and remained noncommittal.

"You've never been to a karaoke bar with her."

"I'm used to Xiao Lizhi being like this all along!"

Our gaze returned to Li Zhi, who had become the brightest star in the Relief Cafe that night.

Not only do stars twinkle, they can also talk.

"Let's all sing this song together!"

It is this well-known song, "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies".

There's a saying that goes, "Everyone may not speak Cantonese, but everyone can sing 'Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies'."

The short-haired girl tiptoed, gripped the microphone tightly in one hand, and instinctively stretched out the other hand, waving it back and forth in the air.

Dozens of mobile phones were held high, turning into flashlights and swaying incessantly along with the beat.

"Forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence in this life of love and freedom
I'm also afraid that one day I'll fall down.

Suddenly, Li Zhi took two steps forward, stretched out her right hand, and pulled Zhou Mingyuan up from the audience.

The man almost fell, but the girl next to him caught him, and they ended up sitting side by side.

Immediately afterwards, a microphone appeared right in front of him.

Anyone can betray their ideals.

Why would I be afraid of a day when it's just you and me?

Zhou Mingyuan only paused for a second or two, then immediately started speaking as if a power source had been switched on, automatically picking up the second half of the sentence.

The voices suddenly changed from a clear and melodious female vocal part to a powerful duet.

Not
What's the situation?
Is this some kind of amateur music show?
Who's next?
When will it be my turn?

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but let her mind wander. She rubbed her eyes hard and found that almost all the customers in the store had been caught up in the atmosphere by Li Zhi. The singing was not just between men and women, but was becoming more and more frequent.

The surrounding noise was overwhelming, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable sitting on the small stool, so she simply stood up and walked back to the front desk.

With a flick of his wrist and a shake of the spoon, Boss Gu brewed himself a cup of bitter coffee.

It has no added sugar, making it extremely healthy.

If you want to pick the song that is played most frequently, discussed most, and covered the most times, then it has to be "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies".

It has long transcended the original scope of music, resonating and echoing in the hearts of countless people; it is no longer just a song.

Standing in the center of this atmosphere, Zhou Mingyuan and Li Zhi, who were leading the group, leaned against each other, one tall and one short, each saying a sentence, their shadows seemingly embracing.

The shop doors were wide open, and a gentle breeze carried the neon lights, the moon, and a touch of moisture.

From a distance, it doesn't look like a simple song.

He took the microphone, and she poured out her emotions.

The two exchanged their wide-ranging thoughts.
