Chapter 13: Cinderella

"How could I fall in love with you?

I asked myself.

I can give up everything,

However, it is hard for me to leave today.

You are not beautiful,

But you are extremely cute!

Oh Cinderella,

My Cinderella.

"

The strings were plucked, and the simple melody, Lu Chen's singing voice was slightly low, with a hint of nostalgia and sadness.

In Lu Chen's dream world, this song was created by a very talented rock singer and given to his first love girlfriend. It also contains a very touching story.

Although the ending of the story is not perfect, the charm of this song is unquestionable. It has touched countless people and has been played and performed by many people, becoming a true classic that has lasted for a long time.

In terms of the emotions of the song, this song has a lot in common with "My Deskmate", both of which carry a sense of fate, but it is more sincere and expresses the singer's self-blame and pursuit of love. When this song was sung by Lu Chen for the first time in this world, it still touched everyone's heartstrings. Especially the couples present, who were deeply moved. The boy held the girl's hand tightly, even though the latter stared at Lu Chen on the stage. Because you are my Cinderella!

".

I always hurt your heart,

I am always cruel,

I told you not to take it seriously,

because I can't believe it.

You are so beautiful,

and you are so cute,

Oh Cinderella,

My Cinderella.

"

It seemed as if the whole world was quiet, and everyone was listening to Lu Chen's singing. Many girls' eyes quietly had a layer of hazy water light, and they were speechless, and even their breathing became stagnant.

".

If this is a dream,

I would rather be drunk forever than wake up.

I used to be patient,

I waited so much,

Maybe I was waiting for you to come,

Maybe I was waiting for you to come,

Maybe I was waiting for you to come,

"

Until the end of the singing, no one spoke.

"A Cinderella"

Lu Chen said softly: "It's my first singing, I hope everyone likes it."

Then applause broke out.

At first, there were two sounds, like a storm in the summer night, but soon it became uniform. Many guests stood up and applauded Lu Chen. There was no noise or noise, only warm applause!

Especially the girls, their palms were red from clapping.

This song "Cinderella" does not have an impassioned melody, nor does it have a climax with ups and downs. It will not make your blood boil, but it can quietly break into the hearts of the audience, and people can't help but be moved by the implicit and passionate emotions in the song.

The most important thing is that he/she is a first-class listener.

If one day "Cinderella" becomes a classic that everyone is familiar with, then he/she can proudly show off to others - I am the original admirer of this song, and I witnessed its release!

Can "Cinderella" become a classic?

The answers may be varied, but no matter who it is, they must admit that this is a truly good song.

It has feelings, love, and soul!

The applause lasted for several minutes. Such a scene had never appeared in the Forget-Me-Not Bar. It was a treatment that neither the Wandering Band nor Sister Na had ever had.

Someone shouted, "Sing it again!"

His request was unanimously agreed by everyone, and they strongly requested Lu Chen to sing it again.

Lu Chen smiled and shook his head. He said to the microphone, "Thank you for your support, but I will only sing this song once tonight because I saw a girl crying here."

He pressed the guitar on his legs with his elbows, clasped his hands together, and bowed to the right side of the stage to apologize.

Lu Chen was facing table 035, which was the table of Xiaomi and her three roommates.

Two of the four girls had red eyes.

Seeing that everyone's attention was shifted to them with Lu Chen's actions, the girls blushed with embarrassment, and the two quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes with the back of their hands.

College girls are romantic and sentimental, and are easily moved by sad songs.

Lu Chen continued, "My mother once told me that a girl's tears are the most precious. She said that I must not let a girl cry no matter what, otherwise it would be a crime."

A soft laugh rang out in the bar.

After a pause, Lu Chen sighed, "I think I have committed a heinous crime now, so I can't sing anymore."

The light laugh turned into a big laugh, and the sad atmosphere that had originally permeated the bar suddenly disappeared.

Xiaomi's eldest sister, second sister, and third sister couldn't help laughing. They had tears in their eyes, but they laughed happily.

Xiaomi wanted to laugh but didn't, and secretly cursed in her heart: "Hate!"

Lu Chen didn't know that he was "hated" by a girl. He didn't sing "Cinderella" again because he was not arrogant or teasing people's appetite, but because he played and sang "My Deskmate" twice in a row and added "Cinderella", and the atmosphere created was enough.

As the saying goes, too much is as bad as too little, and the best way is to stop when you are ahead.

He took the opportunity to step down and gave his place to the host. He will go on stage to sing two more songs at around 9 o'clock.

Resident singers have fixed singing time and guaranteed salary.

The real big income is still the reward share. Lu Chen can earn more tonight than yesterday!

But Lu Chen knew very well that this rhythm of making money was only temporary and could not last long. It relied on the two original songs he played and sang. Although he could come up with more and better songs, it was really not worth it to put them in the bar.

"My Deskmate" and "Cinderella" are enough to be his reserved songs here.

The stage of the Forget-Me-Not Bar is too small to accommodate Lu Chen's heart that is about to fly.

Of course, at least for now, he has no plans to leave.

Back to the backstage, Sister Na gave Lu Chen another big hug!

She smiled and said, "Xiao Lu, you surprised me so much, so pleasantly surprised, you sang well, really well!"

... In the pop music circle, some singers write famous works with the help of momentary inspiration, and then rely on one song to make a living and live a comfortable life.

Just let Ye Zhenyang rack his brains to piece together. Although the songs he wrote cannot be said to be crude, they are also mediocre and have no highlights. They are not worth spending 500 yuan to register in the "Greater China Music Library".

In the end, he just gave up in despair.

Now seeing that Lu Chen has created two good songs in a row, jealousy is like a venomous snake, constantly biting his heart. Not to mention congratulating Lu Chen, the fake smile is about to fail.

"I'll go out and take a look"

Ye Zhenyang found a random reason to leave. He was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would be burned to ashes by the fire of jealousy.

As soon as he opened the door, Ye Zhenyang saw Chen Jianhao appear in front of him.

He was startled and quickly called out, "Boss"

Chen Jianhao nodded, then waved to Lu Chen in the room and said, "Xiao Lu, come with me, someone wants to buy songs from you."

Buy songs?

Someone actually wants to buy songs from Lu Chen!

Ye Zhenyang was stunned and didn't even know how he walked out.

Lu Chen was also stunned. Sister Na smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Go!"

She was obviously a little worried and added, "Remember not to sell it cheaply!"

Lu Chen came to his senses and smiled, "Thank you, Sister Na, I'll go first."

When he and Chen Jianhao left, only Sister Na, Li Hong and Wang Xiaoshuai were left in the big room. The latter two looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe what had just happened.

Li Hong hesitated for a moment and said to Sister Na: "Sister Na, are you too, too..."

She was cautious, thinking about what words to use to say it.

Li Hong is also a woman over 30, and her appearance is not outstanding, so she and Sister Na have a good relationship in the Forget-Me-Not Bar, and the two have a lot in common.

Therefore, she dares to ask some things that others dare not say.

Sister Na smiled and said: "Are you trying to say that I think too highly of Xiao Lu?"

Li Hong smiled awkwardly, but acquiesced.

Sister Na said softly: "Xiao Lu has been in the industry for a short time. His level was not high at first, but he has talent and potential, and now he has shown his talent, so I think Forget-Me-Not can't keep him."

"What I can be sure of is that Xiao Lu will not leave immediately. I understand Xiao Ye's thoughts, but I know that Xiao Lu is a person who values ​​feelings and respects his predecessors, right?"

Li Hong nodded silently.

She knew that Sister Na's words were meant for herself, Ye Zhenyang and Wang Xiaoshuai, and the meaning was very clear.

Whether she was convinced or not, Lu Chen, who could come up with two outstanding original works, was no longer a singer of the same level as them, and his future was limitless.

For such a person, it was fate and opportunity to work together. If he was just jealous like Ye Zhenyang, he would miss the opportunity in vain and get nothing.

But will Lu Chen really have a day of rapid success?

Li Hong still couldn't believe it, or more accurately, she didn't want to believe it.

The subtle changes in Li Hong's expression did not escape Sister Na's attention, but Sister Na didn't say anything more.

Opportunities need to be grasped by oneself, and some things also need to be understood by oneself!

As for whether others can understand, she won't worry about it.
