Chapter 178 - The Rest of Our Lives (2/2)

Bai Zhi said this into the microphone then stepped off the stage with relief.

Of course. All the audience can still hear the sound of laughter spasms in the audience, and with Bai Zhi’s statement, the laughter loudened again.

This kind of live scene was too damaging!

Meng Fan was a bit embarrassed to smile at the audience directly… He chatted for a second before retracting himself. He then saw the smiles on Wu Tong and the five other girls and her cheering gesture, he suddenly felt a burst of encouragement similar to when she cheered him on during his first run. This lifted his spirit.

He took a deep breath and sat on the high chair prepared by the staff, placing his microphone on the stand.

The reason why he had to sit and sing this song wasn’t because he couldn’t stand for such a long time, but because he felt more stable and secure while seated.

If he stood, Meng Fan unilaterally thought he would make a few gestures while he sang, but he had zero dancing experience, nonetheless stage experience. With Bai Zhi, he could still spare the occasional glance and hold her hand, but alone, he looked like an awkward stick.

Sitting down, it was okay to remain still for the entire process, and it wouldn’t seem like he had no stage experience either.

Of course, the most important point was that Meng Fan was used to singing while seated. After all, he’d been sitting and singing in karaoke all along.

After sitting down, he gave the musicians an okay.

The intro began.

Meng fan wanted to close his eyes and enter along to the beat. But his eyes remained on Wu Tong, unable to move.

“Looking for the sun in a place where there is no wind/ becoming the sun when you are in a cold place/ in a crowded room/ you’re too naive/ for the rest of our lives/ I only want you…”

After focusing on Wu Tong and meeting her glance, all the complicated thoughts in his mind disappeared. The laughter, the audience, and the concert… They were all gone. There was only Wu Tong in his eyes, only Wu Tong in his world.

His voice was unlike the raspiness of the original singer. Instead, his voice only contained gentleness and affection.

The raspiness of the original song tells a story of a life full of surprises and loss. They had delightful encounters, but also heartbreaking memories. But life always moves forward, with no one to pity you. Regardless if it’s the end of the play or the intermission, one should pursue their dreams and live their best life.

Meng Fan’s affection and tenderness only demonstrated these pleasant encounters. Like that day on the track field, when Wu Tong entered his life unexpectedly like a gust of wind.

“For the rest of our lives / the winter snow is yours / the spring flowers are yours / the summer rain is yours/ the autumn leaves are yours/ all four seasons belong to you/ my gaze/ belongs to you…”

Meng Fan looked at Wu Tong and desperately wanted to tell her, he wanted to give her the willows, the cicadas, the fallen leaves, the white snow. He wanted to give her the clouds, the sea, the sunset, and the desert. In my eyes, you have no seasons, and there was no space.

Once I met you, my life is you. One couple in one lifetime was definitely not just a saying.

Mornings consisted of you, evenings did too and waking up in the middle of the night, all I can think of is still you.

“For the rest of our lives/ you are my storms / you are my simplicity/ I will choose you in poverty/ I will choose you in wealth / my heart is gentle because of you / my gaze will only fall/ on you.”

When the last note fell and the music stopped, Meng Fan’s gaze was still locked on Wu Tong. He leaned forward, and a smile couldn’t help but form on the corner of his mouth. “Life is full of greed and full of poison. Life is bitter on earth, but it’s sweet with you.”
