Through the Window: Lin Luoxue's Lazy Cousin

Page 365

"Thank you, Su Chen."

...

Li Meng was the first to break free from this mood and came to the principal's side: "Principal, the children are all a bit off right now. Should we leave it at that for today?"

The principal touched the corner of his eye and said in a deep voice, "Su Chen's music hasn't ended yet. He said it's a song for the children."

"I believe this song will remain so melancholic throughout."

"But..."

“There’s no ‘but,’ let’s wait a little longer.” The principal looked at Su Chen: “At least, let him finish singing this song.”

...

During this period of their low spirits.

The music on stage did not stop.

Su Chen held the microphone, his eyes slightly closed, still gathering his emotions.

Many people around also noticed this.

But whether you listen to the lyrics or the background music...

This song should have just come to an end.

But this continues to this day.

Is Su Chen planning to sing this song again?

Just when everyone was confused.

Scattered moonlight pierced through the clouds, hiding from the crowd.

Like scales spread across the sea.

The waves soaked your white dress, trying to push you back.

The waves sing a cradle song, a wishful thought to warm you.

The singing came again, but it was completely different from before.

If the voice just now was low and melancholy.

So now the sound has a touch of etherealness...

It's the same music, the same lyrics.

But it gave them a sense of warmth in the unfathomable depths of the sea.

Many students looked happy and smiled after hearing this.

"Did you hear that? This half-sentence is similar to the music before it, but for some reason it sounds more comfortable."

"Yes! Just now it felt like a big rock was pressing down on me, but now it feels like the rock has loosened."

"You feel that way too! Me too!!"

"Could this be the 'depression' he just mentioned?"

"I don't know, but that feeling of being isolated and helpless is too painful. It feels like I'd rather end it all."

"But now...it seems there is new hope."

"..."

Su Chen sang his heart out on stage, unsure whether his song would bring about any change for them.

But that's all he can do now.

It's about bringing them a glimmer of hope, so that when they're about to reach their breaking point, they can remember that someone once sang for them.

soon.

The song then transitioned to a purely instrumental phase.

But Su Chen didn't stand there listening to music like last time. Instead, he used throat singing to recite a rap.

Sadness cannot be truly understood in just a few words.

Tears are silent, but I want to hold you tight.

"..."

"..."

"Child, please don't forget, there were once warm voices calling your name."

You ask me where the road leads? The road leads to... me waiting for you.

For an instant.

Everyone felt Su Chen's emotions through these lyrics.

"I think I saw someone standing on the shore reaching out to me. Was he trying to save me?"

"I saw it too, and the way he looked at me was so warm, it made me want to cry for no reason."

"I've already shed tears..."

"Will someone really wait for me at the intersection all the time?"

"..."

After hearing Su Chen's rap, countless students stared blankly and murmured softly.

They don't know if their emotions are appropriate.

But I wonder if there really is someone waiting for them somewhere.

I want to know.

Is it true that, no matter when or where, there will always be someone to lend a helping hand when they are in despair?

really?

...

The music that followed was completely different from what came before.

All the sounds became higher-pitched.

All the lyrics became positive.

Everything was telling them one thing.

This world may be terrible, but there are still people worth living for.

"Too late, too late, you once laughed and cried."

Even if it's too late, I'll still sing for you.

Spring rains and summer cicadas chirping; tomorrow will be a fine day.

Autumn winds rise, snowflakes fall lightly; beneath the sea, the seasons are unseen.

The last line of the lyrics fell.

The whole place was quiet.

The weight in their hearts had already been lifted in those final few words.

At this moment, they are experiencing redemption.

The feeling of being enveloped in holy light.

For a while.

Hundreds of students and their parents were present.

There was silence.

It was as if you could hear a pin drop.

Li Meng sat in her seat, looking at Su Chen beside her with a slightly unfocused gaze.

It's astonishing that a boy who's just over twenty years old possesses such incredible creative ability.

Even she could tell.

The music of the song is roughly the same, but the content it expresses is completely different.

The preceding paragraph discussed how life is not worth living.

But what follows is, "Life may not be worth it, but you are."

The last line, "You can't see the four seasons underwater," almost brought her to tears.

The song clearly says "too late," but to her it sounds like "it's not too late."

It depends on your willingness.

Everything is too late.

...

Ten minutes passed.
