Don't call me a singing god, I just want to go back to doing scientific research.

The sign was pink, with the words "The light of the sun, only I am the sun" written in gold lettering, and it was surrounded by a constantly flashing LED light strip that was dazzling.

Ling Luo looked down at the aesthetically questionable thing in his arms, which seemed out of place against his aloof demeanor.

Just as he was about to return the items, the female fan magically produced her phone, with a bright QR code for payment displayed on the screen.

Ling Luo was stunned, her face full of question marks.

"Thank you, ten yuan." The fan smiled brightly and spoke with practiced ease, "Exclusively custom-made, waterproof and drop-proof, you can use it again next time you come to a show."

Ling Luo: "..."

Looking into the girl's eyes, which revealed both sincerity and shrewdness, and whose enthusiasm was tinged with a desire to make money, Ling Luo fell silent.

He silently took out his phone, scanned the code, and paid.

With a soft "beep," the money and goods were settled.

Okay, he's the one who paid for it.

Ling Luo expressionlessly placed the still-flashing sign on her lap and turned her gaze back to the stage.

The host has completed the formalities and handed the stage over to Gu Yang.

The lights dimmed, leaving only a spotlight shining on him. On the big screen, the song information slowly appeared.

"juvenile"

Singer: Gu Yang (Meng Ran)

  

Lyrics: Luo Mu (Meng Ran)

Composer: Luo Mu (Meng Ran)

[Ahhhh! It's the end! New song!]

[They've teamed up again! They've teamed up again! I knew the Luoyang couple was real!]

[Damn, it's over again. Besides Gu Yang, no one else can be booked to sing. Isn't that true love?]

[Yangyang, if this keeps up, it'll be really hard for Mommy to wash!]

The live stream chat exploded, and the audience erupted in gasps of amazement.

The curtain falls. This songwriter, who appeared out of nowhere, has never written a song for anyone else since his very first song.

Gu Yang on stage was unaware of all this. He adjusted his breathing as the music prelude began.

【Wu oh oh……】

【Wu oh oh……】

The interplay of guitar and piano, devoid of any frills, creates a gentle and soothing melody that evokes a strong sense of nostalgia, instantly drawing the audience into the scene.

The audience, who had been restless just moments before, fell silent without prior agreement, and the studio became completely quiet.

Suddenly, the sound of the hi-hat drum kit gently joined in, and Gu Yang's singing voice flowed out.

[A Different Way of Life]

Make yourself happy

Give up your attachments

The weather will get nicer...

The lyrics revolve around "the passage of time" and "self-examination," and the style is completely different from the previous sad love song.

On the judges' panel, Zhuo Tongyu's eyes lit up.

"Luo Mu isn't just good at writing sad love songs; this one is completely different from the previous one..."

He glanced at his side and saw that Ni Yuelan had silently put the tissues she had just prepared back into her bag.

"This one is not bad either," Ni Yuelan said softly, "I just don't know if there will be a stronger conflict later on."

Wei Shaoan, a rapper, nodded slightly to the rhythm and joined the discussion: "I think this one is better than the last one, it has a better rhythm."

Before long, Zhuo Tongyu's eyes lit up again: this song was another example of subtraction.

This ending seems to have a particular fondness for "subtraction".

I'm still the same boy I used to be...

After another chant, the chorus arrives without warning.

"Hiss, a descending pure pentatonic scale?"

Not a single change has occurred.

Time will only be the test.

The belief planted in my heart has not diminished in the slightest.

Zhuo Tongyu suddenly stood up from his chair, holding his head in his hands, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"No, no! It's not subtraction! He's been gradually adding things over and over!"

He thought he had figured out the ending's routine, but he didn't expect the other party to play by the rules! Starting with the simplest arrangement, they layered instruments one by one, and by the chorus, harmonies, syncopation, and triplets all came in, pushing the emotions to a climax!

In the live stream, knowledgeable viewers immediately began to explain the facts.

What does this mean? What is Teacher Zhuo saying?

[It means the arrangement of this song is absolutely amazing!]

[Don't mess around upstairs! Simply put, the song starts like 1+1, which we thought was easy, but then, as it goes on, the ending suddenly turns into 1+2+3+4... and keeps adding up to infinity!]

I get it now. In short: awesome!

On stage, Gu Yang's momentum rose steadily with the progression of the arrangement.

As the second chorus ended, Zhuo Tongyu listened to the melody gradually slowing down and was shocked to find that the song was less than three minutes long—too short!

Just when everyone thought it was about to end, the pace suddenly changed!

The powerful drumbeats suddenly cut in, and Gu Yang's grip on the microphone changed, instantly giving him a sharp and imposing aura.

What is he going to do?

The next second, Gu Yang opened his mouth, and what came out was no longer a melody, but a rap with a strong rhythm!

Chase every ray of light that comes into your life.

Let the world shine because of your existence.

Actually, you, me, and him are not that different.

As long as you are willing to draw an image of hope.

"Whoosh—!"

The whole place exploded!

"Holy crap! There's rap in it?"

"Curtain Falls, you're a real talent."

The female fan sitting next to him went completely wild. She grabbed Ling Luo's arm and shook it vigorously: "Bro! Rap! Our Yangyang can rap! How many more surprises does he have up his sleeve that I don't know about?!"

Ling Luo felt a little dizzy from the swaying, but her gaze never left the stage.

Few people know that Gu Yang, a first-year high school student, actually loves rap the most.

The rap ended without giving anyone a moment to catch their breath.

The arrangement unleashes its full potential in the final chorus, with all the instruments—guitar, drums, synthesizer, and piano—going all out.

The harmonies were dense and full, with layers upon layers of voices resembling a huge chorus that almost lifted the dome of the entire studio.

I am still the same boy I used to be.

No change

Time is just a test

The belief planted in my heart has not diminished in the slightest.

The final chorus, like a torrent bursting its banks, brought everyone's emotions to a fever pitch.

"Quick, bro, raise the support sign!" The female fan next to him was so excited that her voice almost cracked, and she practically shouted it into Ling Luo's ear.

Every single audience member jumped up from their chairs, swaying wildly to the beat of the drums, as if trying to shake off all repression and constraints.

Ling Luo was swept up in the boiling crowd, and even with his aloof nature, he was somewhat melted by the pure heat.

As if by some strange twist of fate, his fingers traced the inconspicuous protrusion on the side of the support sign.

"Clatter".

He pressed the switch.

The LED light strip in my arms, which reads "The light of the sun, only I am the sun," instantly turned up to its maximum power.

The gaudy glow of pink and gold, intertwined, frantically asserted its presence in the darkness that was boiling over for music, its flashing frequency almost blinding.

The melody of the last four bars kept repeating, eventually turning into a massive chorus of hundreds of people in the entire studio.

As the last note fell heavily, the audience in the studio went wild, their screams and shouts creating a tsunami.

Who isn't a passionate young man at heart?

If we don't go crazy tonight, when will we ever get another chance?
