A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.
Chapter 410 The You of the Past
At this moment, Su Fan gestured to the staff member next to him: "Get me a guitar."
He planned to sing and play the instrument himself since there was no pre-prepared accompaniment for the song.
The staff took the guitar out of its case and handed it to him.
Su Fan held the violin steady, gently plucked the strings a few times, listened to the pitch, and then tried strumming the chords.
Jiang Yi was about to ask if he needed help, but after hearing those words, he fell silent and his gaze fell on Su Fan's hands.
After confirming there were no problems, Su Fan looked up at the camera and said with a smile, "This song is for everyone, and also for friends who once wanted to travel far away but have been too busy with life. If you have time today, come and join us for a walk."
After saying that, he lowered his head and plucked the strings.
There were no drumbeats or other instruments; only the clear sound of a guitar, accompanied by the soft hum of a moving car, slowly spread out.
After the intro, Su Fan's singing began.
I once dreamed of wandering the world with a sword.
Look at the prosperity of the world
Young hearts are always frivolous
Now you call the world your home.
……
Su Fan's voice carried a hint of relaxation, without deliberately trying to make the emotions in his singing passionate.
The first two sentences sound like sitting next to a friend, casually chatting about thoughts from their youth.
But as they listened, the people in the live stream who were initially making a fuss gradually stopped joking.
Who hasn't thought about venturing out and making their own way when they were young?
I want to leave my familiar small town.
I want to see those faraway places on the map.
I also want to try and see what kind of life I can live.
Back then, it seemed like you could just pack your luggage and set off.
No matter how far the road ahead was, it didn't seem scary at all.
It wasn't until the phrase "home is everywhere" was sung that a different flavor was subtly added to the lightheartedness.
Some people did go out, but now they can't return home for years.
Some people stay in the same place and occasionally look back at the travel routes they collected back then.
Outside the car window, the highway continued to stretch forward, and the distant mountains gradually came into view.
Su Fan lowered his head and changed the chords, and the singing and the scenery passing before his eyes blended perfectly together.
If the previous part was about the longing for distant places in one's youth.
Next up are those who remained in our youth and couldn't make it to this day.
"The girl who once broke your heart"
Now it has vanished without a trace.
Love always makes you both yearn for it and feel troubled.
It left you covered in wounds.
……
The guitar rhythm remained the same, but Su Fan's voice became a little softer.
Just moments ago, you were thinking of your listeners far away, but now, a face you haven't thought of in a long time might be popping into your mind.
When I was young, I always felt that if I liked someone, I should be able to stay with her forever.
I was overjoyed by a single sentence, but also kept tossing and turning at night because of a response that had been delayed for so long.
Even after an argument, they made up, thinking that their feelings had deepened.
Later I realized that some people didn't accompany me for very long.
There wasn't even time to say goodbye properly; contact dwindled day by day, until finally only one number remained in the address book, never to be dialed again.
Su Fan didn't sing those lines with much sadness.
That tranquility, ironically, reveals the distance of time.
The sadness that I felt I couldn't bear back then, I can now talk about gently.
But when I hear the song, I still remember how seriously I once liked someone.
Next, the song moves to the chorus.
Su Fan's voice rose, and his strumming became more forceful.
"Di li li li di li li li den da
Di li li li di li li li da da
Di li li li di li li li da da
Walking on the road of courage and progress
Di li li li di li li li den da
Di li li li di li li li da da
Di li li li di li li li da da
There were both sad and wonderful moments.
……
The moment that cheerful chant began, the atmosphere inside the car changed.
Little Fatty, who had been listening attentively, couldn't help but tap his knee with his finger.
Jiang Yi leaned back in his seat, keeping up with the rhythm, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
The lyrics are simple, yet the melody is easy to remember.
The listeners, who had just been moved by the song, found themselves unconsciously nodding their heads gently in accompaniment.
Those youthful ideals, and those who couldn't stay, didn't find a satisfactory answer here.
But the singing had already moved on.
Outside the car window, mountains and rivers gradually came into view, and the highway stretched into the distance.
At this moment, even if you are just sitting in your room with a screen in front of you, some people may suddenly have the urge to go out for a walk.
As the song continued, Su Fan's voice gradually softened along with the melody.
Every time I'm sad
just look at the sea alone
I always think of my friends on the road
How many are currently healing?
……
As the song reached this point, those who had been sharing their innermost thoughts suddenly found a place to be friends.
Some friends haven't seen each other for a long time. When we occasionally contact each other and ask how they're doing, they always just say "not bad".
Social media feeds are filled with photos of gatherings and beautiful scenery, but the truly difficult days are often unseen by others.
In the live stream, a viewer stopped typing a joke halfway through, and stopped typing when he heard the last sentence.
He remembered his old classmate who had invited him for drinks a while ago.
That day, the other person talked about many trivial things at work, complained a few times with a smile, but when the meeting ended, they sat on the roadside and did not get up for a long time.
He had only thought the other person was drunk at the time, but now, listening to the song, he suddenly regretted not spending more time with him.
He exited the input box, found that familiar profile picture, and sent a message.
"How have you been lately? Come out and chat sometime."
Next, there's another chorus.
"Di li li li di li li li den da
Di li li li di li li li da da
Di li li li di li li li da da
Countless lonely nights
Di li li li di li li li den da
Di li li li di li li li da da
Di li li li di li li li da da
"After waking up from last night's drunkenness"
……
Although there are not many lyrics, those few repeated lines are more and more enjoyable to listen to.
The first time I heard it, I just thought the melody was catchy.
When it started playing again, many people were already able to hum along.
However, the two lines of lyrics interspersed within the melody add an inexplicable sense of melancholy.
Nothing major may have happened on those lonely nights.
Perhaps after a busy day, you return to your place alone, turn on the lights, and find no one saying a word to you.
Perhaps it was because I had been drinking with friends, and the party was very lively, but when I woke up, I was all alone in the room.
Work must go on, and life goes on as usual.
Upon hearing this, someone leaned back in their chair and let out a soft sigh.
Su Fan continued strumming, the sound remaining bright.
He sang out that loneliness, but it didn't make the whole song sink down.
The chubby boy in the car had already started humming along, and He Xiaoxiao, looking out the window, gently joined in the melody.
A comment quietly floated by in the live stream.
"I originally wanted to laugh at him for singing on the spot, but as I listened, I got hooked!"
