Huayu: Starting with living with a girl from Taiwan

Chapter 73 Half a Song, An Inch of Time

Wu Zongxian was just mentioning it casually to create a TV show effect.

Anyway, it's a pre-recorded program, so if it doesn't work out, we can just cut it out or smooth things over.

Ren Jiaxuan and Tian Fuzhen immediately got excited and clapped their hands, cheering:

"This is great! This is great!"

"Improve it out! Give me a piece!"

All eyes instantly turned to Lin Mo.

Although Lin Mo rose to fame on "Super Star Avenue".

But that's more like the big boss who blows up the fish pond in the beginner village.

Aside from that relatively closed talent show circle, he was indeed still a newcomer when facing the unfathomable world of the entire Taiwanese entertainment industry.

Although the four members of Fahrenheit, Angela Chang, Genie Chuo, and even the two members of S.H.E. and Jacky Wu have all heard of Lin Mo and know that he is very popular recently and has some good songs.

But that was mostly based on insider information and scattered impressions.

Looking back, these predecessors, who have released multiple albums and have a large number of representative works, believe that...

Lin Mo's original songs that are currently noteworthy seem to be only "Those Years" and "Riding a White Horse" which have become quite popular.

Among the celebrities present, apart from actress Tsai Chih-yun, who doesn't have their own representative works and well-known songs?

Fahrenheit, S.H.E., and Angela Chang need no introduction.

Even Zhuo Wenxuan is a singer who has released two albums and has representative works such as "Castle of Love".

Lin Mo's reputation as a "musical prodigy" is largely due to the halo of talent shows and the filter brought by a few amazing singles.

Therefore, when Wu Zongxian asked Lin Mo to create something on the spot, many people were either watching the spectacle or even slightly skeptical.

Writing songs on the spot is no easy feat.

Jay Chou doesn't always write "Half-Beast" every time he goes to the bathroom.

Lin Mo feigned a thoughtful contemplation.

Then, surprisingly, under everyone's gaze, he got up and walked towards the piano on the side of the stage.

This move surprised many people slightly.

Seriously? You're really going to compose music live?

The members of Fahrenheit exchanged knowing glances.

Ren Jiaxuan and Tian Fuzhen also put away their joking expressions and became more serious and curious.

Only Angela Chang's large, elfin eyes sparkled with a bright light.

She wasn't too surprised.

I think Lin Mo is probably planning to play a snippet of the song she wrote with her pink ballpoint pen in the lounge earlier.

That song called "A Diao".

Although there are only three lines of sheet music, the melody is still quite good.

In front of the piano on the left side of the stage.

Lin Mo sat down, adjusted the height of the microphone, and then closed his eyes, as if deep in thought.

Indeed, I was deep in thought, searching my mind for that melody.

Two and a half minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Just when everyone thought he would think for a long time, and even when Wu Zongxian was about to speak up to smooth things over, the time was almost three minutes.

Lin Mo opened his eyes and gently placed his fingers on the black and white piano keys.

Lin Mo learned to play the piano in his spare time using the "Accelerated Learning Fruit." He wasn't at the level of a professional performer, but he could easily play the accompaniment of popular songs fluently.

A crisp melody, tinged with a touch of melancholy, flowed from the piano keys beneath slender fingertips.

The sound was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the on-site sound system.

The melody is simple yet beautiful; the first few notes of the intro evoke a nostalgic feeling.

"Um?"

Wu Zongxian was the first to raise his eyebrows, as if he had something up his sleeve.

Ren Jiaxuan and Tian Fuzhen also subconsciously nodded slightly in rhythm.

The members of Fahrenheit exchanged glances, all seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

The intro has a strong melody and is very pleasant to listen to.

But a hint of doubt flashed in Angela Chang's big eyes.

wrong......

Why does this melody feel different from the three lines of sheet music she saw in the dressing room earlier?

She looked at Lin Mo curiously, waiting for him to start singing.

Finally, after a few short introductions, Lin Mo slowly began to speak.

His gaze swept across the camera, across the guest seats, and finally lingered on Angela Chang for a mere half-second longer.

The typhoon organ in the classroom tinkled and tinkled.

Your voice and movements were always very soft when you confessed your love.

I smiled as I watched you turn and leave after delivering the letter.

I like your neat handwriting and your caring words...

The lyrics are incredibly vivid, the melody is soothing and moving, and combined with Lin Mo's clean voice, it's a very pleasant listen.

The Fahrenheit members' expressions became even more serious. Wang Dongcheng and Chen Yiru whispered something to each other, and their eyes showed more genuine admiration when they looked at Lin Mo.

Wu Zun smiled, and Aaron Yan's eyes were full of admiration.

Wu Zongxian made a silent "awesome" mouth shape at the camera and gave a thumbs up.

Selina Jen, Tien Fu-chen, and Zhuo Wen-hsuan were very obliging, swaying their bodies slightly to the gentle melody.

However, Angela Chang was completely stunned.

No! That's really wrong!

This is not the song that Lin Mo wrote in the dressing room at all!

Could it be... that he really came up with it on the spot? In such a short time?

The piano music continued, and so did Lin Mo's voice:

The warm milk bottle was gripped tightly in my hand.

I always feel warm and cozy when you're around.

The days spin endlessly in my mind like a carousel.

[Those scenes where you were nice to me...]

That's where the song ends.

The piano music and Lin Mo's singing came to an abrupt end at just the right moment.

The echo seemed to still linger in the air.

The scene fell silent for two seconds because of this momentary stillness.

Ren Jiaxuan was the first to react, exclaiming in surprise while covering her mouth with both hands:

"That's it? Lin Mo! You're so good at whetting people's appetites!"

Tien Fu-chen nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining:

"That was great! What happened next? What's next? Is there more?"

Wu Zongxian even directly "accused":

"Lin Mo! Why is it so short? It's so painful to end it here!"

"Is this really what you were thinking? Please sing the whole thing! Brother Xian, I'm begging you!"

Wang Dongcheng and Chen Yiru chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, sing the whole thing!"

Everyone was captivated by this new melody that started suddenly and ended abruptly.

Lin Mo stood up from the piano and spread his hands innocently:

"Brother Xian, you just said you only needed to play one section, but I sang two sections, which was already beyond my usual level."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zongxian immediately felt like he had shot himself in the foot, and was both amused and exasperated.

"I was just being polite!"

"Who knew you could actually sing such a complete song! No, no, you have to finish it, or the audience won't accept it! Right!"

The audience immediately joined in, shouting:

"Yes—!! Finish singing! Finish singing!"

Lin Mo smiled, then spread his hands again, his tone tinged with regret:

"That's all, that's all I could think of. Inspiration comes too fast, like a tornado."

"Ah~~~" Ren Jiaxuan and Tian Fuzhen both sighed in disappointment.

"Love comes too fast, like a tornado~" Wu Zongxian sang a verse following Lin Mo's words, then pointed at Lin Mo and looked "heartbroken" at the camera:

"See? Young people these days have no sense of martial ethics!"

"Being handsome and a good songwriter is one thing, but he also knows how to whet people's appetites!"

The room erupted in laughter.

But everyone's impression of Lin Mo as a "musical prodigy" became incredibly deep and concrete.

Even though it's an old stock song, its quality is still quite good.
