Chapter 69: I’m sorry for the life I’ve once had_1
To be honest, even Wang Quan was ready to throw in the towel after hearing “Go to Dali,” but no one ever expected there to be another song.
Why? Because that’s just the way the entertainment industry is, good songs are hard to come by, or else Jiang Siyao wouldn’t have paid 800,000 for one! So subconsciously, they assumed that having one good song was already impressive. They saw these two young people on the verge of rising to stardom and it was inevitable that numerous talent agencies would want to find them and sign them.
Of course, it was very possible they would sign only one person, preferring the girl over the boy, which was a common practice in the entertainment industry. To create a female idol, she must first not have a boyfriend…
While everyone was still in shock, Ren He had already begun playing the accompaniment, and with just the first note, Yang Xi knew exactly what Ren He wanted her to sing this time!
“The Brightest Star in the Night Sky”!
The intro of “The Brightest Star in the Night Sky” was much longer than “Go to Dali,” and that guitar sound was, as always, stunning—its melody already gave many people a premonition: This must be another great song!
The lively notes of the guitar were like drawing back the night curtain, scattering stars across the sky!
But just listening to the intro wasn’t enough to tell much. The excellence of a song relies on its entirety, and, among other things, the lyrics are most crucial. Take “Go to Dali,” for example; if the lyrics had been about mundane love, perhaps it wouldn’t be liked as much, or at least not by as many people.
However, “The Brightest Star in the Night Sky” once again left the entire audience in awe!
“Give me the courage to believe again, to cross lies and embrace you.”
There is no true honesty in the world, it’s all about whether one is willing to believe subjectively. If you love someone, sometimes even if you feel they are lying, you’ll still choose to believe.
“Whenever I can’t find the meaning of existence.”
“Whenever I get lost in the dark of night.”
“I pray for a transparent heart,”
“And eyes that can shed tears.”
For former lovers and friends, no matter how many unpleasant events occurred, time will surely dilute hatred and deepen love.
You’d think we haven’t been in touch for a long time, even that we’ll never meet again. But truly, on the final day of life, we’ll still think of each other. If at that moment, you had the chance to speak to them, would you? Most of the time, the answer is yes.
You anticipate one day meeting at a coffee shop on the street corner, sitting down for a casual chat, reminiscing about the past.
And the you from back then, standing at the end of an over-mountainous journey, were in the prime of youth.
The meaning of this song was positive, and it formed a stark contrast with “Go to Dali” in style; after everyone listened to this song, a fiery passion that had been concealed for years reignited!
“It’s great! Really good!”
“Who would’ve thought, witnessing the birth of two new songs in just one night!”
“My god, I can already feel their rise to fame!”
“Eh? Where are they?!”
Before everyone could react, Ren He had already grabbed Yang Xi and quietly ran off, leaving the audience staring at the empty stage, feeling a bit miffed. What was this, hit and run?!
Could it be they were just looking to create a stir? They didn’t want fame?
“They leave right after singing, could it really be just for a challenge? If they stayed now and announced their names and contact information, who knows, they could become famous instantly!”
Among the two people Ren He had encountered at the highway service area, the older one with a bit of annoyance said, “Perhaps their idea of challenging us was a spur of the moment…”
Wasn’t that the case? The more he thought about it, the more he was convinced that Ren He must have come over after hearing that Wang Quan was going to release a new song here! Strictly speaking, The Brightest Star in the Night Sky wasn’t folk music but pop rock. Yet, he just waltzed in and sang it, and it didn’t feel out of place at all. Not for any other reason but because it sounded great!
When he thought about it carefully, he had a feeling that the young guy had been paying attention to their conversation.
If that was true, Wang Quan had suffered an unwarranted disaster…
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Was that even possible?
Rather, Ren He’s original plan was to simply go from bar to bar, starting from Luo City and singing his way through. If these few songs were well received, they would surely generate a buzz. Of course, that alone wouldn’t be enough, which is why he insisted that both he and Yang Xi had to wear baseball caps, for he had other plans!
Gasp for breath, Yang Xi let Ren He drag her onto the streets. Standing in the square, they took off their baseball caps, looked at each other, and laughed; Yang Xi’s laughter grew louder, cheerful and clear.
She tilted her head and asked, “So this is your plan?”
“Mm, yes and no, but either way, everything is going smoothly,” Ren He said with a smile.
“So, what’s next? What should we do now?” They had just run off like that, and she wondered what the expressions of the people back at the bar looked like. Thinking about this made Yang Xi feel a bit thrilled; tonight’s events seemed like a big adventure to her.
She didn’t even know how she had ended up being dragged to the bar by Ren He, let alone boldly challenging the place.
But it was exciting, and it was fun!
“Next, of course, is to finish singing the other songs, then disappear without a trace!”
“Disappear without a trace?” Yang Xi was taken aback. Wouldn’t that nullify all their hard work?
“Mm, debuting is still a bit early for you. How old are you? You’re only 15 this year, turning 16 next year. You’re not in a rush. Instead of stepping into the limelight now, it’s better to leave them with a mystery. Those companies will definitely start looking for you, but they won’t be able to find you. You have to understand humans have a peculiar trait-like valuing what they don’t have and not cherishing what comes easily,” Ren He chuckled: “Imagine us suddenly releasing five amazing songs that wow everyone, but they can’t be played on major platforms due to copyright issues. All the companies want to find you but can’t. Like a flash in the pan, can you guess what they’ll be feeling?”

“Regret, pity?”
“And heartache,” Ren He laughed boisterously: “That’s money we’re talking about. Whoever lands you is like gaining a money-making machine. But what if the money-making machine suddenly vanishes? Wouldn’t they feel heartbroken?! And after we’ve lain low for a while, and you reemerge, they’ll be even more frenzied than this time.”
“Why?” Yang Xi was a bit puzzled, to be honest; she didn’t have much experience in understanding people’s hearts.
“Because they’ll be worried you might disappear again, just like this time!”
Yang Xi thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.
As the old saying goes, true emotion can’t be retained; it’s always the strategems that capture hearts. The moment Ren He decided to do this, he wanted to help Yang Xi create a huge reputation right from the start.
With suspense and gimmicks, Ren He was fully prepared.
He knew that Yang Xi, a child like her, was still too naïve, but that didn’t matter because now she had him, her guardian knight ready to clear the path for her.
He had once said that the most heartbreaking thing about love is meeting the person you want to commit to for a lifetime, at a time when you are least able to make promises. When he came back, he felt that one of the most important things was to make up for a sensational love story he owed himself.
How many people have encountered someone breathtaking in their youth, yet were powerless to act. Either they couldn’t obtain affection, couldn’t retain it, or simply didn’t cherish it.
Given another chance, Ren He wanted to restore all of that, as a way to apologize to his own past life.
