Chapter 716: Dawn (2)
âWhere are the rest?â Ye Lang looked around, puzzled. There were other girls when they rehearsed.
âThey decided not to perform, they think just me is enough!â said Liu Feiyan with a smile, though there was a secret behind it.
Ye Lang was confused but didnât care. âWhatever, Iâm just in charge of my part!â
âMm! You just have to play! Donât worry about it⊠Perhaps anything more would just affect the whole moodâŠâ she smiled.
IT was true. Sometimes, less was more. The girls understood. They had made this decision just now because they thought it was enough.
âAre you ready? If you are, letâs begin!â Ye Lang placed his fingers on the piano, looking at her.
âI am⊠Letâs begin..â she nodded. She could enter the mood anytime, she was a professional after all. And very talented.
He didnât speak. His fingers danced across the keyboard, playing a beautiful tune.
This time, the feeling his music gave off a very peculiar vibe. Previously, the audience was used to gentle piano music, tunes that represented love. However, as the tune progressed, it seemed to become more aggressive.
They couldnât believe a piano song could give off a mood like that. Am I supposed to feel like that?
They werenât wrong at all!
When Liu Feiyan started singing, everyone understood that the music was supposed to be a powerful song. Although it was a piano, and Liu Feiyan had a simple, gentle look, their song had enough power to urge an entire army into battle. Everyoneâs blood boiled with passion.
No one expected them to perform a song like that here. Due to the contrast in circumstances, it became more emotional, the shock was more intense.
It was a song no one would forget. At the same time, they realised that even common instruments could do this!
And who said women couldnât sing such powerful war songs? Who said piano songs must be gentle and emotional?
âŠ
âWhen the last soldier leaps into the darkness,
I stand tall on the fallen city walls,
I let my thoughts disperse like the smoke,
A thread of light appears across the skies,
Breaking up the dark landsâŠ
This will beâŠ
DawnâŠ
âŠ
Liu Feiyanâs voice stopped. Ye Langâs piano fell silent. The tragic war song had shaken everyone to the core. They felt their blood boiling with passion.
It was a very surprising choice, a sad war song for an event like that.
Liu Feiyan subsequently became a huge celebrity in the mainland, a much sought-after singer. Most of her fans were soldiers!
It was only natural that soldiers were huge fans of her song!
After a long time, even a thousand years later, it became the most popular war song among soldiers!
Even the ones who did not believe in him changed their minds. The ones who spoke badly of Liu Feiyan and Ye Lang now wanted to hide.
Especially Prince Wuji and the rest. The princess was clenching her teeth, shaking all over. She knew she had lost!
âSuch a silly child, how could you sing a tragic war song at my birthday party? Iâll smack you! But⊠itâs a good song, Iâll let you go this time!â
The empress dowager finally spoke, snapping everyone to reality.
âHehehe, I chose this song first, then I was supposed to play âCelebrationâ after this. But I donât have any songs now!â said Ye Lang with a grin. Initially, Liu Feiyan didnât want to sing a song like that, thinking that it was not appropriate for the occasion.
However, with âCelebrationâ behind this performance, she didnât mind. It could re-align everyoneâs emotions.
WaitâŠ
âAhâŠâ She gasped. Now that heâd played his previous song, and he was going to be too stubborn to play it again, it would be exactly the situation she feared.
Whatever, heâs here! What am I afraid of?
It should be alrightâŠ
âYe Lang, what song is this?â interjected the emperor. Ye Chengtian also glared at him. Why didnât he perform this song earlier? It would have been very useful for military morale.
If they werenât at the palace, Ye Chengtian wouldâve questioned him already.
âThis is called⊠Dawn!â
ââŠâ
Everyone realised he had given it a random name!
âNot bad, suits the songâs intentions! The darkness goes, dawn arrives⊠Good⊠Very goodâŠâ praised the emperor.
âAlright, thatâs itâŠâ Ye Lang closed the piano and prepared the leave.
âWait, you said youâd add one more song for me! How can you leave?â said the empress immediately.
âThatâs so annoying! I was trying to leave!â Ye Lang collapsed on the piano.
âBoss, do you need my help?â asked Liu Feiyan, sitting on his stool. Everyone was jealous of how close they were.
âHelp? Itâs fine, Iâll just choose a random one. Let me think⊠alright, Iâve got itâŠâ shrugged Ye Lang. He sounded very irresponsible- he didnât care if it was going to be perfect.
Other people would want to play a perfect song since the preceding song had been âDawnâ. Not taking the next song seriously to suit the mood would just be a pity.
