Everyone sang earnestly until a particularly familiar melody echoed in everyone's minds. Everyone quieted down and began to sing along with Xu Fan.
Because everyone knows that the song is called "Old Boys". A year ago, many people in the audience were no different in age from now; they were only about one year old.
But in that year, Xu Fan made everyone aware of his mother with the song "When You Are Old," and later, with "Old Boy," he proved that everyone will grow old eventually.
Everyone has moments of helplessness, remembering their first love but feeling powerless to do anything. So when many people heard the melody of "Old Boy" in Xu Fan's background music at that moment, everyone was stunned. Then, in the next second, countless people, including Xu Fan, began to sing the song "Old Boy".
……
Youth is like a rushing river, never to return. There was no time to say goodbye, and all that was left was a numb me, devoid of the passion of yesteryear. Watching the flowers fall in the sky and wither at their most beautiful moment, who will remember that they ever existed in this world?
In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, and countless partings and reunions have taken place. Once, I aspired to travel far and wide, and as a young man, I envied the geese flying south. Now, each of us is rushing off to pursue our own future, and the ordinary future is uncertain. Who can give me the answer?
Those who were with me back then, where are you now? Those I once loved, what do you look like now? Have your wishes come true? Now all I can do is mourn them, letting time dry up my ideals, and I can never find my true self again.
Looking up at the starry sky, do you still remember the story of this place that accompanied me back then? Life is like a ruthless carving knife, changing our appearance. Must we wither before we even bloom? I had dreams.
……
It was the same familiar fulfillment rate, the same familiar lyrics, the same familiar feeling, and the same familiar singing voice. At this moment, Xu Fan looked at the tens of thousands of audience members in the audience, and the eyes of the tens of thousands of audience members were on Xu Fan on the stage.
Everyone sang the song in unison, and strangely enough, everyone sang it for a long time. Perhaps it was because the melody was long, or perhaps it was because the lyrics were beautiful.
So Xu Fan and every audience member sang for a very long time when they heard the melody of this song, starting from the whispers of the old boy, from those images of dreams, and from the ten butcher knives of time.
All of this is in the past, and youth can never return, just like a rushing river. There's no time to say goodbye. You can hear it in every song: life has no second chances.
The 100,000 audience members present were incredibly excited at this moment. Everyone was extremely focused, and everyone was singing this song with utmost seriousness, whether it was the audience at the venue or anyone else at this very moment.
Fans and music lovers watching the live stream were even more excited. "Old Boy" was a song that Xu Fan sang at a concert by Xue Laiyi.
However, it was also this song that made everyone feel a different kind of singing. The old boy expressed the confusion of a generation about youth, especially the lyrics, "In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, how many pear blossoms have been sadly joined in the future, where is the ordinary, who can give me the answer?" It also made people feel a sense of lost direction in the past.
After feeling lost and helpless, it was precisely because of the reality of this song that many people felt differently. The most simple feelings and the deepest emotions in the song moved people deeply.
It seems to offer a gift of love and family affection, without much description, but it must be admitted that this song instantly brought back memories for many people.
Everyone's life has an uncertain story, and in every story there are people coming and going, some good and some bad, some wrong and some right, some who leave and never come back, and some who come back and never leave.
That's life. There are missed opportunities, but there will always be encounters. So when everyone sings this song, they find that everyone is more serious and more profound.
Even some people who rarely dare to sing out loud have a very soft voice, but when they sing this song, especially the line "Youth is like a rushing river," many people start singing.
Everyone was calling out in their own way, expressing the song in their own way, just to sing it more intensely, just to express their truest thoughts from the depths of their hearts.

===Chapter 838 Encountering Midsummer===
The song "Old Boys" had a huge impact at the time because Xu Fan sang it at Xue Laiyi's concert, and Xue Laiyi was a top-tier artist in China at that time.
As a newcomer, Xu Fan's performance of a new song at Xue Laiyi's concert naturally generated a lot of buzz. This buzz, combined with the song's overall quality and its excellent musical performance, further fueled the discussion.
This song was incredibly popular at the time, bringing tears to the eyes of countless people and causing immense suffering to many. They heard their own lives reflected in this song.
They also heard loneliness and helplessness in this song, they were filled with emotion in this song, they heard the past in this song, and they also heard longing for the future in this song.
They also heard all the songs we worked hard together over the years. There was a reason why it was so popular back then, just like tonight, when countless audience members are singing the verses of this song at the same time.
This proves that what makes this song unique to many people is that everyone can remember the lyrics, especially the line "times are like a butcher's knife," which is particularly poignant.
Time is not a butcher's knife, but a ruthless carving knife. Every lyric of this song has attracted a lot of attention.
This song has sparked countless discussions. Everyone who hears it is deeply moved, and everyone can hear a different story within it. Therefore, everyone present at the event spoke up in unison.
However, Xu Fan didn't give listeners much time for reminiscing or feeling sentimental, because the instant this song ended, a new one appeared. Of course, it's not fair to say it was a simple matter of feeling...
After the song ended, the melody changed again, and everyone suddenly heard another song in the medley. After the song "Old Boy" was finished, it naturally turned into the song "The Old Man and the Sea".
That song was equally convincing and exciting. Countless people sang along to the intense and rhythmic music when they heard it, but soon the melody changed.
Many people are once again immersed in the song "My Deskmate". For countless people, this song is more like a nostalgia, more like a longing for their former deskmate, wondering where they are now.
Has your former deskmate married someone else? Has your former deskmate married someone else and become a groom? What kind of wedding dress did your former deskmate wear and what kind of wedding hall did they walk into? Everyone has their own thoughts. Everyone once had a deskmate.
Maybe it was a male classmate, maybe a female classmate, maybe someone you secretly admired, maybe someone who once had a crush on you, maybe someone you never confessed to, or maybe someone you confessed to but were rejected.
Now we always have a deskmate, so when the melody suddenly changed to "The Old Man and the Sea" and then to "My Deskmate," everyone in the audience started singing the song in unison.
……
Will you remember the diary you wrote yesterday tomorrow? Will you still think about the you who used to cry the most? The teachers can no longer remember you or guess the questions you asked. I only remembered you, my deskmate, when I happened to flip through photos.
Who married you, so sentimental? Who read your diary? Who styled your long hair? Who made your wedding dress? You used to always ask me so carefully to borrow half an eraser.
You also casually mentioned that you liked being with me. Back then, the sky was always so blue, and the days always seemed to pass too slowly. You always said that graduation was a long way off, but in the blink of an eye, we went our separate ways.
Xi'an, for you who cried for love, who read the letter I wrote to you, who threw it into the wind, those days are all gone, and I will have my wife, I will also show him the photos, tell him about you who sat next to me at the same table.
……
Xu Fan's voice blended with the voices of tens of thousands of audience members, playing or singing the familiar tune of "My Deskmate," a song that filled a gap in the landscape of excellent campus folk songs in mainland China.
This song, "My Deskmate," became popular after Xu Fan sang it, and it also entered people's field of vision, attracting more people with Xu Fan's unique and textured voice.
"My Deskmate," this song brings back so many memories that have been buried deep inside. Blurred faces become clear, and unfamiliar voices gradually become familiar.
Thus, people's youthful memories are awakened by this song. The simple guitar melody and plain lyrics actually conceal the undercurrents in many people's hearts, many years later.
Listening to this song again may still evoke strong emotions, and in the midst of those emotions, we realize that what we miss most is still our school days.
Many people feel that Xu Fan was too young when he sang this song. But if you think about it, maybe this song wasn't written by Xu Fan, because you can see a kind of maturity and a sense of the vicissitudes of time in this song.
But if you think about it carefully, you can see his insights into life in every song of Xu Fan's, so it's easy and normal to search for this song. However, at this moment, when Xu Fan had already become famous.
Now, a year after Xu Fan's debut, everyone has a different feeling when they hear this song, because Xu Fan may have turned a year older now.
However, for many people, knowing Xun En seems to be a very long time ago. By this time, Xu Fensi should have accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience, as well as some insights into life. Therefore, when she sings this song now, it resonates even more deeply with them.
Everyone felt something different. Xu Fan's deep and melancholic performance made this song a classic, and at that moment, everyone subconsciously started humming it. In another world, it won the 20th Oriental Billboard Music Awards and the 20th Supreme Gold Song Award.
In that world, they also won the Chinese Golden Melody Award, and for thirty years, they were on par with thirty other artists. They were also voted the most popular program by the audience at the Spring Festival Gala of China Television.
So you can imagine how popular this song is in another world, and you can also imagine how popular it is in this world. Everyone knows that Xu Fan's song carries a certain campus atmosphere and makes many people nostalgic for their own campus days.
It also evoked a sense of nostalgia for everyone's time in school. The song has been covered countless times, both in China and other countries.
This song is incredibly popular, but that doesn't affect Xu Fan himself. It has indeed made countless people fall in love with campus folk songs and has gained even more fans.
Therefore, no one experiences any emotional change when singing this song, because for many people, the lyrics are already etched in their hearts; it's a feeling deep in their memories.
It's not that I only remembered it because I liked listening to it; it's because it's a symbol of an era, an ultimate expression of musical appreciation, so everyone who sang it at that moment was extremely serious.
Every lyric sung seems to be the greatest respect for this song, so everyone sings so seriously. In this song, no one sings the "la la la la la" at the end, and no one sings it much more, but that's just who made your wedding dress.
It seems to have plunged everyone into a state of nostalgia. Deep in everyone's heart, there is always a classmate they once loved, or who loved them—perhaps someone they admired but never confessed.
Perhaps it's just a blurry image or shadow in memory, but in any case, this song is unforgettable for many. However, Xu Fan doesn't offer them any changes; the song continues to evolve, but it becomes a completely different song.
It wasn't Li Bai, nor "See, You Again," and certainly not anyone from our team. Everyone was listening intently at that moment. But the changes within the cave didn't diminish; the first was the song "Li Bai," because Xu Fan wasn't the original composer of that song.
But everyone knows that this song was actually written by Xu Fan for the Explosion Band. Listening to this song is even more exciting, and most importantly, at this moment everyone in the audience is singing Li Bai.
Then, the story of the second-generation CEO brought tears to everyone's eyes, especially for some overseas viewers who admired Xu Fan and loved all of his English songs.
And this song, See You Aga, made everyone realize that Xu Fan not only sings Chinese songs well, but also English songs.
At that time, the people in our bucket reached a special climax with the atmosphere of the banana. Even though there was no Andy Lau's presence, everyone felt as if Andy Lau himself was singing the song live.
Then came the song "Breaking the Cocoon," a song that resonated deeply with audiences back then. When it was sung at that moment, everyone recognized the depths of their hearts, as if they had been transported back to that time when they were trying to understand the song. It wasn't sung by Xu Fan, but by Xiao Zihan.
Xiao Zihan didn't sing before tonight. Maybe he came to the venue again, or maybe he's Xu Fan's guest performer again, but at least at this moment, no one knows if Xiao Zihan will appear again.
However, at least the songs "Breaking the Cocoon" and "A Diao" are one of the reasons why Xiao Zihan was able to become popular again online. "Breaking the Cocoon" made many people like Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan even more.
The melody didn't stop there, nor did it seem to end. No one had any doubts; they just listened attentively and sang along with the melody. When the melody of Suguru Osako's song ended...
Everyone in the audience screamed again, because Xu Fan's voice was contagious, and the melody that everyone could hear was all too familiar. The song was called "Serious Snow".
This song was sung by Xue Laiyi, but everyone knew it was written by Xu Fan, so everyone in this class took it extremely seriously. Xue Laiyi arrived at the scene at this moment.
When he saw Xu Fan on stage and every audience member excitedly singing the songs he had sung, he couldn't help but subconsciously start singing along.
……
The snow fell so deep, so earnestly, reflecting the wounds I lay in the snow. I don't care how many wounds I have, but I care who will accompany you in the future. Music, silence, or love—it's slowly devouring my heart.
Falling in love with you made me lose myself. I loved you so earnestly, so sincerely, yet I still heard you say it was impossible for snow to suddenly fall in Shanghai, a city that hadn't seen snow for over a decade, right in the instant you said goodbye.
……
Everyone was singing the song earnestly, whether it was learning it so deeply and diligently or other lyrics; it seemed like everyone had a lyric book in their mind.
While singing these songs, there was no movement or hesitation whatsoever. Everyone seemed to have memorized every single lyric, which made Xu Fan very serious.
This also shocked every singer present. Xue Laiyi stood on the stage, watching the audience members sing Xu Fan's song fluently, and he was filled with emotion as he sang the song.
In a sense, this song was sung by himself, but it was written by Xu Fan. Therefore, many people are more serious when singing this song because they like Xu Fan.
It was truly astonishing that the audience could sing each of Gao's songs verbatim, and Xiao Zihan and others next to them were equally daring.
Tonight, whether it was Xu Fan or every audience member, every song they sang, except for the ones Xu Fan had sung himself, was sung by everyone else. Every listener and fan was able to sing every single lyric seriously. This was truly astonishing and speechless.
The audience was incredibly excited. They didn't think too much; for them, singing with Xu Fan at this moment was the most important thing. So, at this moment, he was unaware of the shock in everyone's hearts.
Everyone was waving their light sticks or glow sticks vigorously, while singing the beautiful and earnest song "Snow." When the song ended, applause erupted once again.
The most important thing is that it evoked different emotions in everyone, because a new song seemed to come along and subconsciously quieted everyone down, because the melody of that song was also extremely familiar.
Everyone knows that this song was the last song Xu Fan sang during the first season of "The Coming One." The song was called "Midsummer," and it was because of that summer that everyone remembered Xu Fan—partly because of the song he sang that summer.
The song is called "Midsummer," so every audience member was extremely excited. Xu Fan stood on the stage, listening to the melody, and sang along with everyone in the audience.
……
Come back, come back.
Someone is waiting for you.
Someone is waiting for you to finish what you said.
Don't leave, stay.
It's too complicated outside.
Countless times it brought tears to your eyes, yet you dared not let them fall.
