29: Chapter 29 Practice Song_1 29: Chapter 29 Practice Song_1 Yeah, Li Changlin is just an insignificant poor guy facing the powerful Luo Xuehai.
Xu Xin’s mind is already set.
She’s decided to follow Luo Xuehai and enjoy the riches of life.
Is there any chance she’ll look back?
Besides, when Xu Xin brought up breaking up, she made herself very clear.
She’d rather cry in a Firefox Car than laugh on a bicycle.
A woman like her is totally blinded by money.
What’s there for Li Changlin to hope for?
Even if there’s a slight chance she might turn back, she wouldn’t be the same pure person anymore.
Could Li Changlin really put aside the past and reconcile with her?
Impossible, Li Changlin clearly couldn’t be so magnanimous.
He doesn’t have such noble character to willingly accept being cuckolded and still happily offer his face to be hit again!
Obviously, Lin Ruonan didn’t tell him because she was truly considering his feelings.
If Xu Xin could stick to her principles, she wouldn’t be tempted.
And if she couldn’t resist temptation, there’s no need for Li Changlin to cherish her anymore!
As for the real reason Lin Ruonan came to Jincheng, it’s not that important anymore.
“Forget it, I’m the idiot!” Li Changlin said with a bitter laugh, shaking his head.
“Let’s go, to the practice room.
I’ll keep you company in your madness!” Ye Zhiwen didn’t offer any words of comfort, he just put his arm around Li Changlin’s shoulders and patted him vigorously.
“Let’s go!” Li Changlin nodded without saying anything more.
The practice room is on the third floor of Guangming Opera House, and the environment is quite nice.
After all, it’s the most upscale opera house in Jincheng with different facilities.
This practice room, it can compete with those top-notch music studios’ recording booths, and the equipment is also very complete.
The two men arrived at the practice room, and Ye Zhiwen took Li Changlin to register.
The management of Guangming Opera House is very thorough, and the practice room isn’t just any casual place—it’s professionally managed.
The girl sitting in the management office is named Zhong Jianping.
Seeing Ye Zhiwen, she sweetly called out “Brother Ye,” and then nodded at Li Changlin, saying, “Brother Li, you’re here!”
Speaking of which, Li Changlin hasn’t just been to Guangming Opera House once or twice.
In the past, he would always take the opportunity to visit the opera house to see Ye Zhiwen and sing a few songs in the practice room.
Over time, he naturally became acquainted with Zhong Jianping.
“Ah Ping, you’re getting prettier and prettier!” Knowing that his good brother was pursuing this beautiful girl, Li Changlin had no qualms giving her compliments.
Beautiful girls, after all, deserve to be praised.
Zhong Jianping giggled, took out a registration form from her desk, and pushed it towards them.
Ye Zhiwen, without saying much, picked up the pen on the table and quickly wrote down his name.
Then, he handed the pen to Li Changlin.
It’s the policy of Guangming Opera House; whoever enters the practice room must be registered, and they must sign for themselves.
Li Changlin didn’t fuss over these details and filled in his relevant information on the registration form.
“Brother Ye, Brother Li, I must tell you that today is a bit special, you can only practice in the morning, the practice room is reserved for a VIP guest in the afternoon,” Zhong Jianping said after they registered, opening a drawer and taking out a key which she then placed on the table.
“Don’t worry, we won’t make things difficult for you,” Li Changlin nodded and casually picked up the key.
“Then off you go,” Zhong Jianping trusted them quite a bit.
At that moment, Li Changlin and Ye Zhiwen said goodbye and left the management office.
Upon unlocking the practice room with the key, Li Changlin noticed that there seemed to be some changes to the setup inside.
Upon a closer look, he discovered that the carpet appeared to have been replaced with a new one.
Furthermore, the walls of the practice room seemed to have been freshly painted.
“Damn, this is quite the splurge!” Li Changlin exclaimed dramatically before tossing the key to Ye Zhiwen and heading to the front to turn on the room’s power supply.
As the power came on, Ye Zhiwen, who had caught up from behind, put away the keys and turned on the computer.
Meanwhile, Li Changlin had already approached the mixing console to start adjusting the volume.
The two were not new to the practice room; back in school, Li Changlin and Ye Zhiwen had developed a tacit cooperation.
So, as Li Changlin adjusted the volume, Ye Zhiwen had already started powering up the other equipment in the room.
Soon, they both finished their tasks, and Li Changlin looked up and called out, “Zhiwen, set up the recording software.”
“Why, Changlin, aren’t you just practicing singing, what do you need the recording software for?” Ye Zhiwen looked at Li Changlin in astonishment, puzzled by what scheme he was preparing to pull off.
“I’m planning to record some background music to play during the broadcast,” Li Changlin explained nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Ye Zhiwen did not inquire further and promptly launched the recording software.
“Alright, Changlin, have fun here by yourself; I’m going to chat with Ah Ping,” said Ye Zhiwen, who was pursuing Zhong Jianping and, seeing nothing left for him to do in the room, was ready to skedaddle.
“Sure, go ahead,” knowing what this lad was like, Li Changlin did not bother to argue.
Besides, his background music was not something he wanted Ye Zhiwen to hear just yet.
Otherwise, the guy would definitely be curious about where he got the music from, and Li Changlin was not inclined to explain.
Once Ye Zhiwen left the room, Li Changlin put on headphones, picked up the condenser microphone, and was ready to start singing.
But before that, he took out his phone and launched the God Tycoon Cultivation System.
He selected a piece of background music from the music channel and pressed the start button.
Then, he moved the microphone close to his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and began to sing.
I’d rather suffer heartache than adorn your dreams.
Don’t toy with my heart over and again.
I’d rather return with sorrow,
Like the wind that just ceased to blow.
Don’t hurt me more; he hurt me so profoundly.
Like ice shattering, the impact is too startling.
Fervor and naivety have long vanished,
In the leisurely passage of time.
The song “Don’t Adorn Your Dreams” actually somewhat mirrored Li Changlin’s current mood.
The song basically tells of once believing you yearned for the beautiful dream of love; so, with utmost passion and sincerity, I devoted myself to embellish your dream, hoping your beautiful dream of love in your heart might come true.
But now, I’ve come to realize that’s not what you wanted at all.
My heart is in pain, I no longer wish to adorn your dream.
Don’t mock my heart repeatedly.
I’d rather leave with my sorrows, like the wind that has faded away.
Before today, Li Changlin had always thought that within Xu Xin’s heart was a yearning for pure and beautiful love, but her remark about preferring to cry in a Firefox Car than laugh on a bicycle shattered Li Changlin’s illusion.
