Journey Together
Early the next day
Lu Han woke up from a wonderful dream, but as soon as he realizes it was already morning. He screamed and panic remembering he did not finish the song last night.
As he got up, he notices the blanket wrapped around him, and the lounge was tidy already and not a single scrap of paper lying around. On the coffee table were some sheets of paper.
When he picked it up, it was clearly a complete music composition with the lyrics on it as well. As he scans to the lyrics, for some reason it felt as if they were the same words he dreamt last night.
"Lu Han you're awake?" The girl said as she carried a paper bag which she placed on the coffee table and then put out the food she brought. "Here, I brought you a hot choco and some sandwiches. There are also some fresh bread since I didn't know which one you'll like."
"Sis Li Zi, about this song. For some reason, I dreamt about it last night."
"Really?" She responded with such an innocent expression.
He grabs the drink and bread from the bag and started digging in. "Sis Li Zi, thank you for all your help. I promise I'll return the favor someday."
"No need, we are working at the same company. It's like helping my little brother with some schoolwork."
"Sis Li Zi, can I ask you for one last favor?"
"Sure what is it?"
"Will you accompany me to the recording studio later?"
"Sure, here…" She handed him her phone. "Write down your number."
He imputed his number and handed her phone back to her.
"I'll see you at 10 then."
"Alright, then I'll go home after this."
...
Outside XiaoMa Music Label
Lu Han was anxiously waiting outside with his manager.
'This is the first time I've seen Lu Han so anxious. Li Zi sure has a great impact on him.'
Not long, when he and his manager saw the girl running towards them.
"Lu Han, did you guys wait long for me?"
Lu Han's nervousness faded away as he saw the girl running towards them. "Of course not."
His manager looked at him in disbelief, they have waited more than 30 minutes for her. Since he insisted they needed to be there before she does.
When Elizabeth notice the manager's reaction, she felt like laughing but tried to keep it to herself and smiled, "Let go inside then."
Inside the recording studio was a gangster looking type of a man, he was big and the same time was wearing loads of golden chains and rings. He sharpenedly looked at the young boy with such a serious expression making him look frightening.
"Lu Han, you're finally here."
"Producer Ma, I am…" He confidently answered him. "By the way, Producer Ma, this is my friend Li Zi, she helped me with the song and will be helping me today as well."
When the big gangster man found out who the girl was, his scary-looking attitude completely turned 180 and shocked everyone. "My Gosh… Miss Li Zi… I am a fan…" The man guided her to sit on his chair, "You… Go get some refreshment for our guest."
"Producer Ma, I'm truly flattered with your kindness."
"Miss Li Zi, your video when you serenade Mrs. Chen was amazing, it has over 5 million views already and it has not yet been a week."
"I thank you again, Producer Ma. But today, our Lu Han is the star and I am here only to help him."
"Really?" When he heard that she was going to help Lu Han become a star he smiled from ear to ear. "All of you go prepare what Mr. Lu needs, quickly now."
After everyone has finished preparing everything. Lu Han sat on his chair with his guitar while she was behind him by the piano."
"Lu Han, Miss Li Zi are you both ready."
Both of them just nodded.
Everyone behind the glass was all excited to hear the song they have composed.
Even Lu Han manager was so anxious since this will be the first time he'll ever hear the boy sing an original song which he made last minute.
'Please Lu Han, let it impress Producer Ma.'
As they all anticipate what the boy has prepared for them, the whole room turned to silence as he sang...
"1 2 3…" Lu Han husky voice echoed in the room.
Then Elizabeth started playing the melody of the song as Lu Han played the base of the melody.
"Boss, the melody is very impressive."
"Quiet!"
Not a word came out of everyone's mouth as they all listened carefully to what's next...
**Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
Do you feel like life such a dull
Are you constantly drained by it
Everywhere you look seems heart-breaking
Nothing seems, to be okay?
My dear friend let me help you.
All I need is you to trust me
So take my hand, let's go
Let's go on a journey together
Come with me, my friend
Let take this country road
Escape this busy life
Let's go on a journey together.**
It surprised everyone to see how beautiful the song was. Lu Han's manager did not expect the boy could do it in such a short time. As they all continued to listen to the song, it amazed them to finally hear the angelic voice again.
**Hmmm hmmm hmmm
I know you've been lonely
I know you're afraid
But trust me, my friend,
And I'll be here for you
So take my hand, let's go
And see the beauty of the world
Come with me
And take the country road**
As Lu Han and Li Zi then sung the chorus together again. Everyone was already cheering behind the glass, they could no longer control their emotion.
"Producer Ma, this is amazing."
"Lu Han and Li Zi's voice are both amazing."
"Who would have thought Lu Han could write such an amazing song?"
Producer Ma continued gazing at the two behind the glass, he was so happy that his heart was aching so badly, "Finally, will be able to top the charts." he said
