Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

Baodeng Zheli still reflected on it for five seconds.

"That's right!" Xiangzi smiled suddenly after hearing this. "Would you mind letting me see it for myself?"

Zhe Li tilted his head to look at Xiangzi, "Do you want to hear it?"

"Ah, no...it's okay if it's inconvenient..."

Xiangzi quickly hunched his shoulders, looking annoyed, as if he was blaming himself for saying the wrong thing.

"That's not true. It's just the most basic melody." Zheli chuckled at Xiangzi as if to comfort him, then turned to look at Le Nai. "This little guy doesn't want to help. I have to write it slowly by myself."

"I helped." Lenai raised her hands high and shouted, but she didn't show any intention of getting up from the table.

"Ah, yes, yes, you can help me the most by playing according to the music."

After finally copying a demo, I asked Le Nai to play it again and there were beautiful variations. Then I modified it and played it again, and it was different again, but each time it felt better than the last.

I don't know whether Lenai is really such a genius, usurping the spiritual energy of the world of Bang Bang with every breath, and becoming more powerful after playing each song than the previous one, or whether he is just a mediocre taster in the music industry, who can only say "Oh, not bad, this one is good" no matter what he hears.

The man shrugged helplessly, stood up from the edge of the stage, walked onto the stage, and turned on the microphone.

At this time, Shiina Riki and Takamatsu Deng walked out of the back door side by side - they both tidied up the music stand, picked up the empty water bottle that someone had forgotten to take away, turned off the lights, and left the door ajar before coming out.

Seeing Baodeng Zheli standing on the stage and testing his sound in front of the microphone, both of them were a little confused.

"Oh, Deng and Shiina, you have worked hard too." Zheli saluted them from a distance.

"Zheli, do you want to... sing?"

The sound of the lamp was so faint that Li Xi thought she was the only one who could hear it clearly. She wanted to tell her, but Zhe Li smiled and nodded almost the moment the last syllable fell, saying, "Yeah. We're writing a new song, and it's a good time for you to listen to it... Oh, if you're in a hurry to go home, you can go directly."

"You have to listen," Deng said, speaking so fast that it was hard to react.

Li Xi glanced sideways in surprise, while Bao Deng Zheli just replied with an "OK".

"For now, this is the current version."

He spoke in an extremely calm manner.

The unexpectedly slender fingertips gently stroked the strings——

"'If only my songs about life could make you appreciate life.'"

"'If only my songs about family could make you appreciate love.'"

Gao Songdeng was suddenly stunned.

The open stage in the Nascita store was just a small, slightly elevated platform. The man just stood there casually, squinting his eyes and humming a song in a rather dull and even frivolous tone.

"When you say things like that, what you really want is just some resonance."

"I almost became a mere mortal drowned in desires—"

Although the lyrics were clearly quite depressing, Bao Deng Zheli who sang them still smiled slightly.

The song was too gentle, the mumbling was too plain. It was as if a story that had nothing to do with him was being told from afar.

but……

“Feel the pain and sing.”

“Feel sad and sing.”

"Sing to survive."

"It's just a collection of self-centered people."

...For a moment, the corners of the man's mouth stretched out in a ferocious grin.

And the next moment, calm was restored too quickly.

"Songs like this can't save anyone."

"But, I..."

——Nagasaki Suyo slowly opened her eyes.

In the center of my sight, amidst the quietness of the afternoon, a man was smiling amidst the shallow notes.

“…I really want to be your god.”

The girl stared blankly at the illusory smile.

She opened her mouth subconsciously, but the rough melody suddenly became so fast that she could no longer keep up.

"How can such a song heal your festering wounds?"

He smiled and played the notes.

"Even if I hold you tightly in my arms and scream, how can that change the reality?"

He smiled and slid the strings.

"Isn't it just me who feels refreshed by this kind of randomly roaring music?"

He laughed and sang loudly.

"I just want to connect. But I also want to save you—"

He smiled and lowered his head.

"I'm so powerless. I'm so powerless. I'm so powerless. I'm so powerless."

“…I feel so powerless.”

Press the strings with your palm.

The air vibrating from the speakers took some time to subside, and then Bao Deng Zheli breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head.

He saw that Nagasaki Suyo had already moved to the front of the stage, looking up at him with her lips pursed.

"..."

Those eyes, as blue as his, were moist and bright, vaguely reflecting a blurry figure, which seemed to disappear completely in the blink of an eye - that's why she stared at the figure so seriously.

"……What's wrong?"

Zhe Li didn't quite understand what Su Shi wanted to say, so he asked directly.

However, the girl stared at him for a few seconds before revealing a faint smile.

Like finally feeling at ease.

She whispered, "What a... special song."

The tone means something.

So Zheli reacted quickly, and his eyes lingered on Takamatsu Deng and Toyokawa Shoko for a moment, as if he could see an emotion of worry on their faces.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"How can you all relate so well to me...it's just a song, it has nothing to do with me!"

It is undeniable that music is a kind of dialogue that transcends language, allowing people to communicate with each other with the warmest emotions.

But the problem was that the Zheli just wanted to show the basic melody, so he just sang the lyrics casually without trying to put in any "emotion" - he was actually worried that acting too much like it would make Su Shi worried: he was really impressed by Su Shi's performance when he performed "Sunset" at RiNG last time.

He was smiling while singing such a depressing song, and he did it on purpose.

It turned out to be useless.

I can only say that Kanzaki P is truly amazing at writing lyrics. Even if I play a melody and sing it without any emotion, it can still move people.

Or maybe, these young girls are just too sentimental... ?

……

"Well--"

Yao Lenai watched Baodeng Zheli scratching his head from a distance.

The sparkling eyes blinked.

Then smiled.

"This one. Best."

“What a wonderful song!”

Toyokawa Shoko stared at Baodeng Zheli with shining eyes.

"Especially the lyrics, it's just—"

"Like, my 'lyrics'."

"...Mr. Deng?" Xiangzi suddenly turned around.

I saw Gao Songdeng staring at Zhe Li's face closely.

——I think I understand.

Even though Toyokawa Shoko said from the beginning that "the lyrics of the lamp are the cry of the heart"...

However, Deng actually didn’t quite understand why it was called “scream”.

Shouldn't singing be about following intervals and melodies, and producing sound smoothly? At least that's what the tutorials she'd found online these days said.

But now, she seemed to understand.

The so-called "shouting" does not mean yelling with all your strength until you are hoarse.

But like Bao Deng Zheli, even with a soft voice and a smile on his face——

The singing was so intense that it seemed as if it was trying to tear out one's heart.

"Lyrics for the light?"

Baodeng Zheli was stunned for a moment.

Kanzaki P was a prolific vocalist, singer-songwriter, and even writer, with countless works. However, what impressed Ori most was his speech upon graduating from "Kamitsubaki Studio," which he co-founded:

“For me, creation is a place where I can pour all my emotions into it.”

For him, making money through creation is something that makes him feel guilty.

Although he lives a comfortable life and has an entire studio to support him, he writes songs that talk about his own pain - he doesn't want to go on like this, so he decides to step out of his comfort zone and return to his original state, back to the state where he doesn't know what will happen next, and gambles his life, his life, and everything he has to create.

“In the future, works completed in that way will be able to support your soul even more than they are now, and touch something that cannot be expressed in words. I firmly believe this.”

Such a song may be the "inner cry" that belongs only to Kanzaki P.

——It’s exactly the same as the “lyrics” written by Takamatsu Deng.

Thinking of this, Baodeng Zheli couldn't help but smile: "If this can inspire you, that would be great."

If Deng could put his own feelings into the lyrics like Kanzaki P did back then... surely, they would be more touching than the "feelings" written in a notebook.

From this perspective, perhaps as a plagiarist, I have done a good thing.

"—So, what do you think? This song."

Zhe Li didn't forget the main topic and brought it back to the beginning. He paid particular attention to Toyokawa Shoko: he still remembered that Toyokawa Shoko had said that he would compose music for the lyrics of the lantern. He thought that Toyokawa Shoko must have his own experience in composing music, so he took this opportunity to ask for his opinion.

"That's right! Let me think about it."

Xiangzi obviously understood what Zheli meant, so he put on a serious expression and fell into deep thought.

"The lyrics are indeed quite beautiful, but as for the music, how should I put it, it has a 'unfinished' feeling."

...It is true that listening to your words is like listening to a conversation.

Isn’t it because it’s not completed that we need guidance from an expert?

"I mean--"

Noticing Zheli's speechless expression, Xiangzi paused and continued:

"This song, no, this lyric, sounds like there's already a complete version. And the music composed by Mr. Zheli seems to be on the way to restoring that best version, so it's the 'unfinished' version..."

She finished her story seriously before smiling at Zhe Li:

"Just now, it gave me this feeling!"

"..."
