Chapter 59: Take Your Guitar
"Wandering, on the road~"

"Are you leaving? ViaVia~"

"Fragile, proud~"

“That was me too~”

The simple melody followed the microphone and spread from the speakers to the entire playground.

Li Luo's lips were close to the microphone, and the lyrics flowed out calmly and gently.

When the lyrics came to "fragile, proud, that was also what I looked like", Li Luo's whole mind was suddenly immersed in the song.

Thinking back to what I looked like when I was 15 in my previous life, the sensitive guy who pushed Ying Chanxi to the ground before the high school entrance examination was probably just like what was described in the lyrics.

"I have crossed mountains, rivers and seas~"

“Also passed through the crowds of people~”

"Everything I once had~"

"It all vanished like smoke in the blink of an eye~"

"I was once lost, disappointed, and lost all direction~"

"Until I see that ordinary is the only answer~"

When 15-year-old Li Luo heard this song, he probably just thought it was nice, but he didn't know what was nice about it.

Li Luo, 35 years old, is now back to the starting point at 15 years old, feeling his young heart still beating violently, and is moved by these lyrics.

"It sounds great." Qiao Xinyan felt the power in the singing and couldn't help but sigh, "The boy sang well, and Xie Shuchen sang well, too, but for some reason, neither of them sang as well as Li Luo."

"Quiet." Ying Chanxi covered Qiao Xinyan's mouth and looked at Li Luo who was standing on the playground in the distance with burning eyes.

The light on the playground was dim at this moment, but Li Luo seemed to be shining, and was firmly imprinted in her eyes.

Does Qiao Xinyan need to say whether Li Luo sings well or not?
Unfortunately, Class 1 is still a little far from Class 8. Although there is sound support, the sound quality is definitely not as clear as at close range.

But even so, daring to sing in front of all the classmates on the playground and singing so well is indeed quite easy to win everyone's favor.

A girl next to him couldn't help but whispered, "He looks so handsome from behind. Is he the monitor of Class 8? I haven't heard of him before."

"I've heard of him. There's someone in his class who was my junior high school classmate. He was bragging to me these past two days, saying that his class monitor provides free cold drinks and ice cream every afternoon. I'm so envious." said another girl.

"Holy crap! So good!"

"Is he our class monitor's cousin? I remember someone mentioned him. Why don't you ask the class monitor if he can introduce him to you?"

"Haha~ I don't want to, go ask."

Hearing the discussions of the girls around him, Ying Chanxi, who was originally somewhat happy listening to Li Luo singing, suddenly frowned. He glanced at the classmates next to him and became a little unhappy again.

At this moment, Li Luo had finished singing.

But he did not stop playing the guitar and naturally went into the next song.

But this time, he did not continue to occupy the microphone. Instead, he waved in the direction of Yan Zhusheng and gave up the position in front of the microphone.

Listening to the melody in his ears, Yan Zhusheng stood up naturally and walked to Li Luo.

Swaying to the rhythm, she slowly closed her eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Yan Zhusheng was no longer his usual calm self. He seemed to have been given the finishing touch and suddenly had spirit.

"My world~"

"Because of you, I am beautiful~"

"My sky~"

"Because of you, I won't be dark~"

Li Luo's voice was more stable, clearer, more transparent and ethereal than before, and it spread out from the speakers like waves.

"Give me wings~"

"Let me fly~"

"Give me strength~"

"You made me strong~"

Yan Zhusheng at this moment seemed like a different person.

The students in Class Eight all stared blankly at Yan Zhusheng in front of them. They saw her untie her ponytail and toss her long hair wantonly. Then a high-pitched note soared, reaching the top of everyone's head.

If Li Luo's singing just now was calm and steady, then Yan Zhusheng at this moment was like a queen who exploded on the stage, releasing her energy to the fullest.

The students in Class 8 could never have imagined that Yan Zhusheng, who was usually as cool and calm as a snow lotus, would become so flamboyant and confident after getting the microphone.

It was as if there was light in her eyes.

Students from other classes on the playground were also shocked and almost thought they were at a concert.

Yan Zhusheng's singing voice is like clear lake water or a flying arrow. The high notes are crystal clear and powerful, not at all superficial.

Halfway through the song and when the interlude began, Yan Zhusheng came back to his senses, glanced at Li Luo and stretched out his hand to him.

"What do you mean?" Li Luo blinked, a little confused.

Then Yan Zhusheng walked up to him, snatched the guitar from his hand, held it in his arms, and immediately showed off his skills, bringing the rhythm of the whole song to a new climax. "Holding the dream, fly forward~"

"Don't run away, don't retreat~"

"You are the fortress on my road to success~"

Yan Zhusheng's fingers danced on the strings of the guitar, and the tones he played were obviously similar to the ones Li Luo played just now, but they gave people the illusion that they were fuller and richer.

Especially the showmanship in the middle, which was something Li Luo had never learned in his previous life.

"Give me wings!"

"Let me fly!"

"Give me strength!"

"You made me strong!"

After reaching the second climax, Yan Zhusheng raised two keys again, and he was completely in a state of singing happily.

All the students on the playground were also motivated by her to get excited. Some clapped to the rhythm, and some sang along, turning the scene into a chorus.

Li Luo, whose guitar was snatched away, stood aside, clapping along with the beat, and watching the scene with a smile.

Li Luo was much more familiar with Yan Zhusheng in this state.

After all, the two of them used to live under the same roof every day, Yan Zhusheng sang and Li Luo was responsible for recording.

If Yan Zhusheng is usually a cool and quiet beautiful girl, then when she holds the microphone and musical instruments, she is the music queen who controls the whole audience.

As long as there is music, she can immerse herself completely in it, enter a state of complete ecstasy, and enjoy it with her whole heart.

Yan Zhusheng at this moment is pure.

When he finished singing the last line of the song, Yan Zhusheng closed his eyes again, his chest rising and falling slightly.

When he opened his eyes again, Yan Zhusheng restrained all the expressions on his face and returned to his usual cold appearance. After returning the guitar to Li Luo, he sat back in his original seat silently.

"Thank you to our classmate Yan Zhusheng for singing "The Most Beautiful Sun". Do you think it sounds good?"

"Sounds good!"

"One more song!"

"do not stop!"

Li Luo had already noticed the chief instructor's movements, so he said with a smile: "That's all for today. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Happy military training, everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the chief instructor's whistle sounded, announcing the end of today's military training.

Perhaps it was because Yan Zhusheng's singing was so amazing that many people were still not satisfied and hoped that the military training could last longer.

"Why did you snatch my guitar just now?" On the way back to the classroom, Li Luo turned his head and asked Yan Zhusheng.

Yan Zhusheng blinked and said seriously: "You didn't play well, it affected my song."

Li Luo: "...It's better not to say such hurtful words."

"You asked," Yan Zhusheng said, "I didn't even tell you that you sang two notes wrong."

"Didn't you say that?"

"Hmm..." Yan Zhusheng fell into deep thought, "I think I did say that. I take it back then."

"Thank you so much."

After returning to the classroom, Li Luo packed his things, put on his guitar, and prepared to go home.

At this time, Yan Zhusheng took a look at the guitar and then said, "You should practice more often to keep your hands in shape. I see that you are a little unfamiliar with it today."

"Okay, Teacher Yan is right."

"I'm not a teacher." Yan Zhusheng corrected, "But if you need, I can teach you."

"Is there a charge?"

"I don't want money."

Looking at Yan Zhusheng's innocent eyes, Li Luo swallowed the jokes he had in mind and said, "Okay, then you teach me how to play the guitar in the future."

Li Luo waved goodbye to Yan Zhusheng and walked out of the classroom carrying his guitar case.

Outside the door, Ying Chanxi had just come downstairs to find him.

"Let's go to the playground." Li Luo patted Ying Chanxi's shoulder.

"Why go to the playground?" Ying Chanxi was a little confused.

"My guitar teacher told me to practice more often." Li Luo went downstairs and walked towards the playground. "I need an audience now. Are you willing?"

"Is that so? Of course I am willing~"

　[Failure Diary]: It is recommended to listen to the songs while reading this chapter, which will give you a better feel for it. For "Ordinary Road", the original version will do. For "The Most Beautiful Sun", the female version by Huang Xiaoyun is recommended. You can search for it, which is more in line with the description of "powerful high notes".

　　In addition, these two songs existed before in the novel's timeline. They are not original works of the protagonist in the text. They are all covers.
