Ye Mu took out his phone and turned on Cat Music. He saw that the original song competition would officially start at 5 pm on Tuesday. It would last for three weeks and the ranking would be determined according to the song's click rate.
"I know you majored in music as an undergraduate, but this competition requires an original creation! Moreover, it would begin in three days! Have you written your own songs before?" Ye Mu asked worriedly.
"I haven't written it before. I tried writing a few yesterday!”Zhang Jinhuan replied while driving.
Ye Mu was even more worried now. He had never written a song before, so he only thought of a few songs yesterday?
Although most of the people who would participate in this original song competition were amateurs who loved music, there might be some professional music creators because of the generous prize money.
Although these creators did not have very popular works, they were still people who studied music all day.
Could it be that Zhang Jinhuan was too anxious to earn money to treat Xiao Die and was desperate to seek help?
"Jinhuan, do you think we're friends now?”Ye Mu frowned and asked seriously.
"Definitely! Why are you suddenly asking?" Zhang Jinhuan blurted out.
"If Xiao Die's surgery fee is not enough, I have it. Didn't we agree on this a long time ago?" Ye Mu said as he looked at Zhang Jinhuan with heartache.
Only then did Zhang Jinhuan understand that Ye Mu's words might have meant that he had no other choice but to participate in this Original Song Competition!
"Just treat it as a random song I wrote and sang. I like singing anyway, so don't worry!”Zhang Jinhuan looked at Ye Mu and said with a smile.
As the two of them spoke, they had already arrived at a street that specialized in selling musical instruments.
Zhang Jinhuan casually walked into a guitar shop with Ye Mu following behind him.
"Boss, please get me the cheapest guitar!”Zhang Jinhuan said as soon as he entered.
The boss, who was playing games behind the counter, was stunned when he heard Zhang Jinhuan's request. Then, he picked up a black guitar that was covered in dust while playing games in the corner.
"This one is the cheapest. The style is older. If you want it, I'll sell it to you for 500 yuan.”The boss held his phone in one hand and handed the guitar to Zhang Jinhuan.
Ye Mu wanted to buy it himself as a gift for Zhang Jinhuan, but he thought of Zhang Jinhuan's stubborn character.
She quietly took out a pack of tissues from her backpack and helped Zhang Jinhuan wipe the dust off the guitar.
Zhang Jinhuan casually pulled a stool and played the guitar. It worked.
The two of them paid and walked out of the guitar shop, ready to drive back to the cottage.
"It's only five o'clock now. I don't want to go back. I feel uncomfortable with a few cameras facing me.”Ye Mu seemed to be talking to himself.
Ye Mu followed Zhang Jinhuan around for a whole day. Zhang Jinhuan was very grateful and wanted to do something for Ye Mu.
"Then let's find a place with good air and sit down.”Zhang Jinhuan looked at Ye Mu and said.
"Alright, alright! We can go anywhere." Ye Mu replied happily when he heard Zhang Jinhuan's words.
Zhang Jinhuan turned around and started driving toward the outskirts.
"The air here is better, and there's no one here. I used to come here alone.”Zhang Jinhuan drove the car to an empty seaside according to the memories of his predecessor and said while looking out the window.
Ye Mu looked at the place. It looked a little desolate under the sunset.
She turned to look at Zhang Jinhuan's side profile. Indeed, this boy was used to digesting negative emotions alone.
"You can take the guitar. There's no one here. I want to hear you sing.”Ye Mu got out of the car and opened the backseat to take out his guitar.
"Alright." Zhang Jinhuan smiled. He also felt that there was no one here, so he could test the professor-level singing skills given by the system.
The two of them found an empty space and sat down. Ye Mu looked at Zhang Jinhuan with anticipation.
Zhang Jinhuan picked up the guitar and tuned it.
How many times have I fallen on the road
How many times have I broken my wings?
Now I no longer feel lost
I want to go beyond this ordinary life
I want a life in full bloom
Just like flying in the vast sky
Just like walking through the endless wilderness
With the power to break free from everything
How many times have I lost my direction
How many times have my dreams been shattered?
Now I don't feel lost anymore
I want my life to be set free
……
As soon as Zhang Jinhuan opened his mouth, Ye Mu's eyes widened in surprise.
Listening to Zhang Jinhuan's song was like listening to a record.
Ye Mu looked at Zhang Jinhuan's face and his fingers playing the guitar under the setting sun. It was as beautiful as a music video.
This originally ugly black guitar now looked very stylish under the faint halo.
In this desolate scene, Zhang Jinhuan's sorrowful but powerful voice made Ye Mu's eyes turn red.
The improvement in his singing skills also allowed Zhang Jinhuan to better bring in his own emotions. Zhang Jinhuan was immersed in music.
When Zhang Jinhuan sang until this point, he thought of the thin and small Xiao Die on the hospital bed.
He thought about how other children would have their parents 'love and companionship when they had a cold or fever, but Xiao Die only had him and the orphanage's teachers.
Zhang Jinhuan wondered why fate was so unfair. Xiao Die's life was so bitter, but she had cancer.
As if he was venting the injustice of fate for Xiao Die, Zhang Jinhuan released his emotions.
I want a life in full bloom
Just like flying in the vast sky
Just like walking through the endless wilderness
With the power to break free from everything
I want a life in full bloom
Like standing on top of a rainbow
Just like walking through the brilliant galaxy
Possesses power beyond the ordinary
……
When he reached the climax, Zhang Jinhuan no longer felt like he was singing. Instead, he felt like he was one with the song.
Ye Mu saw Zhang Jinhuan singing loudly with red eyes.
Just like the lyrics of this song," The life I want to bloom is like flying in the vast sky, like walking through the endless wilderness, with the power to break free from everything.”
While Ye Mu was surprised by Zhang Jinhuan's singing skills, he was also shocked that Zhang Jinhuan could make such a meaningful song in such a short time.
He should have been thinking about Xiao Die when he composed this song!
He probably wanted Xiao Die to break free from the shackles of her illness and enjoy her childhood like other children, having a strong vitality.
However, he was not God. He could not help Xiao Die get rid of the disease. He could only do his best to help Xiao Die.
Looking at Zhang Jinhuan who was still singing, Ye Mu's face was covered in tears.
I want a life in full bloom
Like standing on top of a rainbow
Just like walking through the brilliant galaxy
Possesses power beyond the ordinary
……
At the end of the song, Zhang Jinhuan stopped singing loudly. Instead, his voice became softer and softer, as if he was telling himself. Zhang Jinhuan repeatedly sang these words to the sea as if he was cheering himself on.
