They don't actually think I like them, do they?

As the sun set, its lingering shadow fell upon his shoulders. The man gazed upon the ravaged land, shrouded in the smoke of battle.

Beside him lay the corpses of the man's childhood friends.

His eyes were vacant, and he walked like a zombie on the blood-soaked ground, only heading towards home, muttering to himself.

"I can't die... I can't die..."

"There's someone... waiting for me..."

A tear rolled down the old man's cheek as he lay on the hospital bed.

Li Ming happened to witness this scene.

Li Ming's eyes widened. He stood up and grasped his father's hand.

The old man's fingers twitched slightly, and his lips trembled slightly. Li Ming quickly leaned closer to listen.

"Hui...wait for me...I will definitely...come back..."

Li Ming burst into tears.

Hui is his mother!

Li Ming stood up and rushed out of the ward like a madman:

"Doctor! Doctor!!!"

......

On this day, the entire Jinchuan was shrouded in a suffocating dark cloud.

While everyone was still immersed in the joy of "a beautiful and adorable woman who makes me blush" and "you said you're a bit hard to pursue, trying to make me give up,"

The next second, the song "Cheers" suddenly appeared and quickly swept through the streets and alleys.

It still has that familiar orange marmalade flavor, and the melody is as catchy and appealing as ever.

However, after everyone heard the story, they all became deeply depressed.

This song is addictive! It's seriously addictive!!

Orange Jam's incredibly gentle voice, like a death knell, compels people to reminisce about the past. Whether beautiful or painful, whether friendship, family, or love, it takes everyone on a journey through time to find those who have passed away.

If we disregard the era in which this was made, it would probably just be a beautiful, somewhat tear-jerking piece of music.

But how many years has it been since the war ended here?

Many families and individuals have not yet emerged from the shadow of war, and for more than two decades, they have used entertainment to numb themselves.

Because if everyone doesn't become more inspiring and positive, they simply won't have the will to live!

However, this song, "Cheers," shattered everyone's self-hypnosis of more than twenty years.

This is far more than just "remembering deceased relatives." The actual death toll of that war was not that high. Its biggest impact was that people voluntarily gave up their ability to "reminisce" and preferred to forget the past.

Once it is rekindled, it will cause a huge backlash. People miss the deceased, miss their childhood, and look back on their lives. They are all overwhelmed!

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, orange marmalade!! Are you a devil?!"

"Damn it, I'm really crying my eyes out, I miss my grandpa so much!"

I miss my old classmates so much, I wonder how they are doing now?

"I miss my high school crush. I remember putting glue in her water bottle and watching her drink it; I regret it so much, sob sob..."

018. The King of the Music Scene, Orange Jam

In the past, songs like this would never have achieved such widespread popularity, or at least wouldn't have become so popular so quickly.

However, since this song was written by Orange Jam, and as everyone knows, anything produced by Orange Jam is guaranteed to be of high quality.

So everyone lowered their guard; since it was marmalade, they figured they might as well swallow it all.

However, after everyone swallowed it, they discovered that it was poisonous!

Moreover, this poison doesn't kill you instantly with just one bite. It's like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. When you first taste it, you won't feel any major problems. However, as you listen further, you'll feel more and more uneasy. By the time you reach the end and your emotions explode, it's too late to run away!

Specifically, "Cheers" is not a song with a depressing style. On the contrary, the song has a light rhythm and a very typical pop melody. It is the kind of song that is easy to get hooked on as soon as you hear it. After listening to it a couple of times, you might even start singing along. It is also a song that is very suitable for singing in karaoke.

So, when people first heard it, they didn't have any particularly strong feelings.

However, once you finish the chorus, towards the end of the song,

As the line "Time has stopped, they've all come back, those we miss, we await your arrival~" begins to loop repeatedly.

The aftereffects kicked in!

Memories flooded my mind, and past scenes kept replaying in my thoughts. Especially when paired with Orange Jam's unique, highly infectious, and gentle voice, this song "Cheers" became a deadly weapon that could kill without drawing blood.

It hurts, it hurts so much!!

It's hard not to suspect that all that popularity Juzi Jam had built up before was just for this big move!

How terrifying is the impact of the song "Cheers" on people?

On this day, on the streets at night, you can see people walking alone everywhere, their expressions lifeless, staring blankly at the scenery from time to time, and then wiping away tears.

Many bystanders were puzzled by this scene. It wasn't even midnight yet, so why did they all look half-dead?

Without a doubt, they must have listened to "Cheers" because they couldn't shake off their depression and went outside to clear their heads.

If they still can't let go of their feelings after talking it out, then they should consider seeing their relatives.

Yes, on this day, the reopening rate across the country saw an extremely exaggerated increase!

In this era, many people are already barely clinging to life; if it weren't for the fear of upsetting their parents, they probably wouldn't have made it. Now, this song, "Cheers," has become the final straw that breaks their backs!

On this day, more than 30 cities in China declared a state of emergency, and the entire municipal public security bureau was mobilized to patrol places such as riverbanks, parks, and overpasses!

Pay special attention to people wearing headphones, because they might suddenly decide to restart at any moment!

In an effort to curb this situation, one city specifically opened its citywide radio broadcast.

On the radio, the mayor himself took to the stage, urging everyone to think of their families and friends and not to do anything foolish!

Subsequently, the city became the city with the highest reopening rate in the country.

At this moment, Weibo was already in an uproar, with the topic's popularity soaring and sparking a wave of reminiscing about youth and departed friends. Many people's long-sealed memories were brutally unearthed and presented to them by Orange Jam!

Many music bloggers on social media have called the song "Cheers" a "super weapon of mass destruction on the internet."

The news reported that a veteran who had been asleep for twenty years was awakened after listening to the song "Cheers," which is also known as the "Soul Summoning Song."

Subsequently, Juzi Jiang, following his title of "God of Love Songs," once again earned a new nickname on Weibo—"Living Yama of the Music Scene."

Then the problem is coming.

Why is this song so heartbreaking, yet so many people are listening to it?

That's what makes marmalade so terrible.

If "Cheers" were just a song that made people sad, even if people's mental defenses aren't very strong, they're not masochists, so they could just not listen to it!

But it isn't.

"Cheers" is actually a very inspiring song. Its essence is to say goodbye to the past and cherish every memory. Even at the end of the world, we should not forget those beautiful memories.

Even if a century has passed and there is no longer any proof that you ever existed in this world, those memories are real. As long as I am alive, I will always remember you...

In fact, this song encourages people to move forward bravely, face life positively, and formally say goodbye to those who didn't have a chance to wave goodbye properly.

Yes, everyone knows that this is a very positive song, and the nickname "Living Yama of the Music Scene" is just a joke.

But don't kill me with a gentle knife!!!

This is the sentiment of all listeners, which is why everyone listens to this song on repeat. Although it is truly heartbreaking, this song, while causing everyone distress, also offers a glimmer of hope.

at last,

After listening to "Cheers" on repeat countless times, everyone gradually understood!

This ray of dawn is the message that Orange Jam wants to convey to everyone:

What's lost will never come back. What we should do is not run away from the memories, but wave goodbye properly and cherish those beautiful memories!

So that's the purpose of the marmalade?!

Twenty years after everyone has been avoiding the past, Orange Jam tries to awaken everyone with this song, "Cheers."

He really... I'm so upset!

.......

Lin Han was somewhat aware of the song's influence this time.

Lin Han was surfing the internet when he suddenly found himself transformed into the King of Hell, and the song he was singing suddenly became a summoning hymn.

"?????"

Is it really that exaggerated?!

Lin Han himself never expected that this song would have such terrifying destructive power!

What he didn't expect was that these various positive and negative news stories would raise Lin Han's popularity to a new level.

In short, it is—

It's a hit! It's really a hit now!

It wasn't just popular on Bilibili, nor was it popular among students; it became popular across the entire internet!

Perhaps Lin Han's status in the music industry is not high yet, and he has not earned enough money to reach the top tier. In any case, at least the name "Ju Zi Jiang" has become a household name in China, and everyone knows that a new king of hell has recently appeared in the music scene.

This situation became particularly evident after Lin Han arrived at the school.

In the morning, as soon as Lin Han arrived at the classroom, he heard many classmates discussing Orange Jam's new song and recounting the various outrageous things that had happened on the internet in the past few days because of the song.

As the culprit behind the entire internet incident, Lin Han was just an unknown student at No. 7 High School at the moment. How could he dare to speak?

As soon as Lin Han sat down, he saw Xu Hui, who looked haggard.

"Did you overdose?"

"No, I studied all night last night," Xu Hui said, touching his kidney area with a mournful face.

"You actually stay up all night studying?"

"It's the monthly exam today, brother!"

019. A Difficult Monthly Exam

Monthly exam?

Lin Han was stunned, his mind racing.

Holy crap, it really is!

I've been so busy lately that I completely forgot about it!

This world is different from the previous one. Even in the final sprint of the college entrance examination, the number of mock exams is quite limited, unlike in the previous life where you wouldn't be allowed to take the college entrance examination unless you took at least ten mock exams.

Therefore, the monthly exam held at the end of each month is quite important.

At this moment, a rare look of panic appeared in the eyes of Lin Han, the academic genius.

Xu Hui seemed to realize something and tentatively asked,

"You...you didn't study, did you?"

"Indeed," Lin Han admitted.

Xu Hui's eyes widened, as if he had seen something he had never seen before.

"Turtle, are you sick?"

In Xu Hui's eyes, Lin Han's absurdity in not studying for the exam was no less than that of smoking e-cigarettes without using Rexroth 5.

Having been Lin Han's deskmate for three years, Xu Hui knew Lin Han's nature all too well. If this guy hadn't had an open-book exam, the school's average score would have dropped by several tens of points!

"Oh dear, I was too busy over the weekend and completely forgot." Lin Han was also a little embarrassed.

I've been so busy with the album lately that I've neglected my most important studies.

Lin Han felt ashamed and realized that what he had done was truly inhuman. He couldn't distinguish between what was important and what was not, and he deeply regretted his foolish behavior!

“Exactly, you really shouldn’t have done that!” Xu Hui nodded repeatedly.

"From which grade level are you criticizing me?" Lin Han looked at Xu Hui with innocent eyes.
