Perfect Superstar

PS Chapter 77 – Those Flowers

Girls in rainbow-colored feather clothes walked briskly like butterflies down the staircase aisle leading to the backstage. The relatively narrow space was filled with the scent of cosmetics that could make one’s heart beat faster.

These beautiful girls had just finished thier dance performance, and the applause in the auditorium had not yet subsided. They talked and laughed, and the sweat on their foreheads was mixed with makeup and sparkled in the light of the wall lamp.

Lu Chen, with guitar in hand, politely leaned his back against the wall to make way for them.

Several girls looked curiously at Lu Chen and kept brushing past him.

Leaving behind a string of silvery bell-like laughter.

On the stage, the host was announcing: “Thank you for the wonderful performance of the 24 beautiful girls just now. The following program is from the Computer Science Department. A solo male singer...”

“His name is Lu Chen. Let’s welcome him with applause!”

As soon as his voice fell, Lu Chen, who had been standing at the exit of the stage, immediately stepped forward and stood under the spotlight.

Faced with nearly 10,000 alumni and teachers, he smiled confidently.

After the baptism of Light Blue Music Carnival Night, even in the face of a large audience, Lu Chen will not be nervous.

He believes in his song.

Applause rang loudly, although not warm, but many students still give him face.

In particular, Lu Chen’s classmates were going all out to clap their hands, and were whistling very loudly.

Lu Chen is tall and handsome, and his family was once rich, but he does not have the demeanor like those of wealthy children, and usually was very willing to help others. So, his popularity among his classmates has always been quite good.

Many people knew about the changes in Lu Chen’s family, and they also knew that he went out to work early to make money. Their applause was their support and admiration for Lu Chen, because they knew it was not easy to do what he did.

On seat No. 19, row 37 of the He Liang Great Auditorium, Wang Ying raised her hand, clapped twice, and immediately put it down.

She gazed at Lu Chen, who was standing in the middle of the stage, and suddenly felt that there was something different about him.

The girl sitting next to Wang Ying quietly leaned over and asked in a low voice, “Why, do you still miss him?”

Wang Ying shook her head, somewhat at a loss.

She also did not know what was wrong with her. They obviously have broken up long ago.

But there was always a feeling in her heart that she can’t let go!

The girl sitting next to her said, “You two have already broke up, do not think too much about him! What’s the use of being handsome? You can’t eat that. And with your status, you can find a someone better than him. For example, that Chen Peng. He is also very good.”

Wang Ying frowned and said, “He and I have long since been over, and I don’t think much about it.”

The girl sitting next to her smiled softly and said, “That’s right. For us girls, finding a suitable husband is the most important thing. Out in the society, you’ll easily get tired working hard by yourself. The price of a house in Hangzhou is so expensive that it’s not worth it to bear hardships with useless handsome guys!”

Wang Ying just listened with her left ear and out of her right ear, with her mind drifting somewhere else.

At this moment, Lu Chen, who was facing the microphone, said, “Thank you for your applause. The song I’m going to sing here tonight is written by myself, and this will be the first time I will sing it in public.”

“I will dedicate this song to all the girls, all the teachers and sisters here. Because you all are the reason why Jianghai University is a truly beautiful campus. May you always be young and beautiful!”

Numerous laughter rang out in the auditorium, and many girls applauded again, with more enthusiastic applause.

Most of the boys were envious and jealous, and were secretly cursing.

Using original work to impress girls? What a beautiful move. We’ll just going to boo you and make you exit the stage when you sing – Who let you pretend to be handsome.

They really hate handsome guys, especially those who can play guitar.

However, Lu Chen didn’t feel the resentment from those single dogs. He turned his head and gave the a thumbs-up to the program director on the sidelines, saying that he was ready to start.

A moment later, the MV of the new song appeared on the huge screen behind Lu Chen.

He plucked the strings of the guitar and played the prelude, gently and softly.

The first thing that appeared on the LED screen is the empty scenery of Jianghai University, and then a silhouette of girls quietly appears along with sketches of flowers, which slowly form four handpainted artistic characters – Those Flowers.

“That laughter reminds me of those flowers of mine

Quietly blooming in every corner of my life

I once thought they would be by my side forever

But now we have already parted lost in the sea of people

Have they all withered?

Where are they now?

This is how we are, fleeing to the horizon!

Lalala...Missing them

Lalala...Are they still blooming?

Lalala...Move on

They have been blown away by the wind and scattered to the horizon.

....... ”

A touch of sadness, a touch of feelings, whispering about the past time, Lu Chen’s singing is simple and concise, but the beautiful melodies and lyrics made this song have the power to impact the heart.

Especially the girls. They looked at the MV on the big screen that showed one familiar or strange photos after another. Those were their youthful memories. Pictures of girls running, hugging, jumping, playing...

The past reappears in front of them, joyful, sad, sweet, and exciting.

They are about to graduate and will be blown away by the wind and scattered on the horizon!

“......

Some stories that are still haven’t told are best left untold

Over the years, it becomes difficult to tell which of those feelings were real

Today this place is overgrown with weeds and the fresh flowers are gone

I was fortunate to once have you here through all four seasons.

Lalala...Missing them

Lalala...Are they still blooming?

Lalala...Move on

They have been blown away by the wind and scattered to the horizon.

Have they all withered?

Where are they now?

This is how we are, fleeing to the horizon!

....... ”

The auditorium, which can accommodate thousands of spectators, is quiet, without applause or laughter or anyone talking. Everyone is focus listening to Lu Chen’s singing.

Some girls were already sobbing.

The song aroused their romantic hope and sadness in their hearts, just like dandelion flowers blooming in the unexpected season. Their soul seemed to be gone with the drifting flowers, and could not be retrieved.

Lu Chen played and hummed, reminiscing the past.

The flower that left the deepest impression in his life was one of his school sisters.

She appeared when Lu Chen was in his depressed time, when his father had just died and broke up with Wang Ying, experiencing great changes in life, decadent and gray like a walking corpse.

And her graceful appearance, like a bright sunshine, dispelled Lu Chen’s inner darkness and haze. She used her tenderness to comfort Lu Chen’s injured heart and let Lu Chen finally got rid of his depression and faced life firmly.

But she was not able to stay. After graduation, she followed her family and emigrated to England. (TN: In highschool.)

Even Lu Chen’s best friends didn’t know about this love affair, and he didn’t tell anyone about it.

He has always been hiding this in the deepest part of his heart.

He sang this song here today for her.

Her photo was also in the MV, smiling brightly!

“.......

Have they all withered?

Where are they now?

This is how we are, fleeing to the horizon!

.......”

Unconsciously, Lu Chen’s eyes were wet with tears. He has never sung so emotional, singing with a choked voice.

In the audience, many girls have burst into tears. They either cry alone, or hug each other to comfort each other, wantonly vent the feelings that have been aroused in their hearts.

Wang Ying bit her lips, and the look in her eyes was extremely complicated.

Her intuition told her that Lu Chen’s song was sung to the person he loved most.

And that person wasn’t her.

She was also moved by the song, but thinking of this, her heart seemed to be bitten by a snake, intense jealousy and pain, as if she had lost her most cherished treasure!

The MV was finally fixed on a photo.

In the rainy afternoon, deep in the old streets and alleys, a gentle and moving woman was holding the silhouette of a paper umbrella.

The dense water vapor made the lens hazy, making it impossible to take a clear picture of her face.

But that beauty, like the valley and orchid, is destined to become one of the most profound memories to who witness it.

Lu Chen finished singing.

He puffed out his chest and said to the microphone, “To all the flowers, Thank you!”

He wanted to thank all the flowers that appeared in his 22-year-old life.

Because of them his life became wonderful!
