Sorrow is like a gentle breeze brushing softly across the face.
A turn of the head reveals the once scarred self-crouching on the ground, crying.
But when you lift your gaze, you still see a future shrouded in thick mist ahead.
And the path lies beneath your feet—where to go is each person's freedom.
Is it choosing to remain trapped in the cage before you, barely surviving in the darkness?
Or is it choosing to bravely break free from the cage and walk toward an uncertain distance?
Under the baptism of this song, perhaps every listener finds their own insight.
Especially at the moment the violin joins in—it's as if a soul is instantly injected, and the entire piece's layers immediately become richer.
Everyone's hearts seem to tremble involuntarily, goosebumps rising all over.
- "Sorry, forgive me for speaking a bit loudly just now! Even as someone who knows nothing about music, I can tell this piece is an absolute masterpiece! It's just too beautiful! It can't help but remind me of that eighteen-year-old boy who died on the day he confessed to the goddess!"
- "Sob sob sob, I remember now, I remember everything! Beyond the sea is..."
- "Shocking! Our music professor highly praises the skill level of the two performers playing this piece! They've even surpassed some international masters!"
- "No, man, I just came to the show for fun, why am I suddenly feeling so melancholy? Sigh, I suddenly miss my parents. Let's have a drink!"
The power of music is just that soul-stirring.
No one is speaking or explaining, yet everyone seems to gain an indescribable strength from it!
And the Shen family deserves credit here—if it weren't for their deliberate investment in billion-dollar sound equipment, many people might not have felt such a deep connection!
At the same time, related topics are rapidly trending on social media.
"Bird's Poem is beautiful!"
"A destined shock to the music world!"
"Who exactly are the two performers of Bird's Poem?"
…..
Below the stage, Youbai excitedly waved the glow stick in her hand.
If the occasion weren't so formal, she might have shouted out loud.
"Brother, you're amazing!"
Su Zhirou's beautiful eyes shone brightly, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on the glowing man on stage—her own man.
Admiration... affection... joy... pride...
A complex mix of emotions surged within her!
The emotional reward came in a big burst!
Backstage, Shen Pan'er was naturally also paying close attention to the scene.
Others didn't know who the girl playing the piano was, but as twins with a deep connection, she immediately recognized her sister, Shen Ling'er.
But when did her sister become so familiar with Mu An?
They even kept this program a secret from her!
"Maybe they just happen to share a common interest in music?"
Thinking of her sister's stubborn passion for music, Shen Pan'er quickly felt at ease.
She didn't consider the possibility that Mu An and Shen Ling'er might be dating.
At the same time, the girl eagerly anticipated the moment she would confess to him later.
"Since I happen to understand music, and Mu An also happens to understand music, that means we naturally have a common topic!"
"If I take the initiative to pursue him, this round is obviously... in my favor!"
Shen Pan'er was full of confidence.
Meanwhile...
Seeing that almost all the comments online were praising this piece, Wang Mingxuan's face darkened immediately.
It was fine for someone to become famous at the gala, and it was fine for a song to be hailed as divine.
But he couldn't accept that arrogant man (Mu An) playing a "divine" piece and taking the opportunity to get famous!
So, he started using his "green tea skills" again, secretly stirring up his fans to launch personal attacks.
At the same time, he hyped up his fans' anticipation for his upcoming performance.
'Heh heh heh, just an ordinary university student, what right do you have to compete with me?'
'I only need to make a move and I can get you cyberbullied to death!'
Wang Mingxuan sneered coldly.
But his arrogance stopped him from bothering to find out who Mu An really was.
Naturally, he had no idea what kind of terrifying existence he had just provoked!
…..
Very soon, the song ended.
The once noisy venue fell completely silent.
Because many people were so immersed in it that they couldn't snap out of it for a long time.
"Awesome!"
Suddenly, someone cheered.
Then the whole audience burst into enthusiastic applause that lasted for a long time.
What is art?
True art is that which resonates deeply within people's hearts!
At this moment, all those earlier rumors about backstage manipulation were completely debunked without a fight.
This piece even overshadowed many performances that had already been done or were yet to come.
It sounds exaggerated, but it was indeed true!
- [Unbelievable! This is even more amazing than the book "Super Invincible Overbearing CEO Falls for Me, Who's Half-Buried and 'Menopausal'"! But don't get me wrong, I mean this song is really... beautiful! I'm willing to call it the best of the year!]
- [Mom! I can hear it, this is the sound of mom... sob sob, it just made me want to cry!]
- [Good music really can give strength to the heart! As a top arranger in the industry, I can only say this original piece is incredibly powerful! Absolutely world-class! It leaves people in awe!]
Most people couldn't stop praising it.
But online, there were also many negative comments stirred up by Wang Mingxuan's deliberate provocation.
Mostly his brainless fans wildly launching indiscriminate personal attacks.
- [World-class music? Pfft! My opinion is that it's not even worth a single hair compared to my brother Wang Mingxuan's many works!]
- [Terrible! You must be shills, right? Even dogs wouldn't listen to this crap! And those two performers are just nonsense!]
- [Backstage manipulation! Backstage manipulation! Backstage manipulation! Important things said three times! I've already reported this livestream! As for Qingchuan University? Haha, when I choose my university, I definitely won't pick it, let them lose a top student!]
However, it wasn't long before people noticed that those who launched personal attacks were instantly "unboxed" (exposed).
Just like those who spread rumors before, their endings were extremely miserable.
It could even be said that their underwear and other private info were almost completely dug up and publicly posted online.
For example, the one who said "won't choose Qingchuan University, losing a top student" was exposed as a mentally unstable girl who only graduated from a vocational school.
She was mercilessly mocked by onlookers.
Others might not know, but Mu An was clearly aware that this was the "Trojan virus" he had planted earlier still working hard.
Those people could say whatever they wanted about others, and Mu An could ignore it.
But if they directly slandered or personally attacked him, it meant they were ready for an all-out war.
So, adhering to the principle of gender equality, Mu An's side (the Trojan virus) naturally had to go all out.
Unboxing, muting, social death, reporting... a free all-in-one package!
Remember, the internet is not a lawless place; everyone must be responsible for their words and actions!
