I was slacking off on a dating reality show when the female guests treated me like a treasure chest.

"Um?"

"Wait a minute." Chen Nian realized what was happening, watched his partner play and sing a bit on guitar, and then fell into thought. "Does this mean I should play and sing a bit, or you should play and sing a bit?"

He felt he had fallen into a misconception.

However, the next moment, the butler smiled and said to him, "This refers to the partner of the person being questioned singing and playing an instrument."

"Is this passage really that complicated?" Chen Nian asked in surprise.

The others nodded slightly in agreement, since the words seemed to be referring to the person being questioned.

"The right to interpret this rests with our program," the butler said with a smile.

"..."

Chen Nian was speechless. What else could he say? He had to accept it.

But can he sing and play instruments?

Thinking back, he realized that he had actually played the piano last time, which made him wonder if he was just naturally gifted at it.

Soon, the butler handed over a guitar.

On the open ground to the side, a high chair, a microphone, and a warm lamp had been placed there at some point.

"Alright, let's welcome musician Chen Nian to play a piece for us!" Zhou Yu said with a smile, leading the applause.

Immediately, everyone else joined in applause to express their welcome.

This seems to be the first time we've seen Chen Nian demonstrate his professional skills. Perhaps he's not as good at singing as the established singers, but he's definitely better at understanding songs.

Of course, this is on the premise that he is actually a music creator.

Chen Nian sighed inwardly. Even if he resisted, it was better to admit it in this situation. Otherwise, he would be labeled as someone who couldn't handle the situation, which would basically make him infamous.

Besides, today's event is being broadcast live.

I wonder if Lin Ran is watching. If she does, she'll probably be secretly laughing and waiting to see me make a fool of myself.

Although he had a lot of thoughts on his mind, Chen Nian was not idle. He had already walked over and sat down on a high stool.

Guitar, microphone...

Is there anything else?

Chen Nian looked at the guitar in his arms and adjusted the position of the microphone. At this moment, his mind was quite clear, so clear that he didn't know what he was supposed to play or sing.

So he started thinking in his head to see what he could play.

The same thing happened last time. When he didn't know what to play, he looked for relevant memories about music and then played it naturally.

The next moment, a melody appeared in Chen Nian's mind.

The moment the music started playing, his hands immediately began to pluck the strings. This sudden moment caught everyone present completely off guard.

Everyone thought he was going to talk about the song he was playing, but he suddenly started talking.

Upon hearing the melody, Liu Ting, Li Tian, ​​and the others listened intently for a moment, then froze, and then felt confused, as this was not a piece they were familiar with.

However, the intro is very short.

Chen Nian took a deep breath. This was his first time singing, and to be honest, he hadn't even confirmed his singing ability yet.

Anyway, I sang it out, and my voice echoed through the microphone in the hilltop plaza.

"Later, I finally learned how to love."

"It's a pity you've already gone far away, disappeared into the sea of ​​people."

"Later, I finally understood through my tears."

"Some people, once missed, are gone forever..."

Chen Nian came to his senses and, realizing that it wasn't too difficult, focused his attention on the song.

As for the performance of the piece, should I say this is what is meant by profound understanding?

After all, he has formal training and a very solid foundation, so it seems he practices a lot on a regular basis.

However, he didn't notice how the people below the stage were looking at him.

Shock, astonishment...

The viewers in the live stream were stunned. This music creator seemed to have something special about him.

refrain?

Liu Ting guessed in her heart that Chen Nian had skipped the segment, but the next moment, his voice gently unfolded and returned to the beginning.

Gardenias, white petals, fall on my blue pleated skirt.

"I love you," you whispered.

I looked down and smelled a fragrance.

"That eternal night, in the midsummer of my seventeenth year,"

The night you kissed me.

"So that in the years to come, whenever I feel moved, I will always remember the starlight of that day."

"..."

Shocking, silent...

Among them, Su Xiao blinked her bright eyes and looked at Chen Nian with surprise and joy.

Her thoughts drifted back to when she was eighteen, a newcomer at Xinghe, ignored by everyone. It was Chen Nian who gave her a song that originally belonged to him, and with that song, she got started.

Although she later learned that Chen Nian did not want to be a singer, and therefore sent out the song that President Lin had arranged for him, Su Xiao never forgot about it.

She asked her agent several times to get Chen Nian to write songs for her, but for some reason, she was never able to get any songs from him.

When she saw Chen Nian again on the show, she was overjoyed, more so than ever before.

It turns out that the boss was referring to Chen Nian, saying that male colleagues in the company would take care of her.

The next moment, Chen Nian's voice pulled her back to reality, and the guitar melody suddenly went up in pitch.

How do you remember me, with a smile or in silence?

"Over the years, has anyone been able to keep you from being lonely?"

"Later, I finally learned how to love."

"It's a pity you've already gone far away, disappeared into the sea of ​​people."

Later, I finally understood through tears that some people, once missed, are gone forever...

Until the melody fades and the sound disappears.

Chen Nian calmed himself down, and his eyes lit up. He thought to himself that he had some skills. Although he wasn't good at songwriting, he could at least play an instrument.

But what's going on with these people?

Liu Ting and the others were staring at him wide-eyed, making Chen Nian feel a little embarrassed.

He stood up, leaned his guitar against the chair, and walked back to his seat.

"What's going on? There was no applause after I finished singing. Did I sing that badly?" Chen Nian muttered to himself. Seeing everyone's eyes following him, he couldn't help but say, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Wow!"

"Holy crap!" Li Tian finally couldn't help but blurt out, "Chen Nian, are you serious?"

"You sang terribly?" Chen Nian sat back down in his seat, took a sip of tea, and after hearing Li Tian's words, he thought he really was bad.

"Huh?" Li Tian was stunned.

Logically speaking, this doesn't make sense. The main reason why this song became so popular later was that it was easy to sing, and it was somewhat listenable no matter how you sang it.

Unless they are truly tone-deaf.

"You really haven't published any works?" Liu Ting asked.

"No, although I wrote two hundred songs, no one is willing to sing a single one," Chen Nian said, unable to help but sigh, "Sigh, it's really a disgrace to songwriters."

"Pfft~~"

"No, I can't hold back anymore! I challenge him to a one-on-one duel!" Qi Feng exclaimed. "Even though I'm usually low-key, I can't resist!"
