Being stared at so intently by Han Jiangxue's mother, Su Yu would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.
Before this, when Sister Ling suggested he sing a new song, Su Yu had originally planned to sing "you have nothing that is not possible" directly, which would also allow him to express his feelings to Han Jiangxue.
However, with her mother sitting right there, wouldn't it be a bit too much if he sang that song again? And Su Yu himself would feel embarrassed.
While tuning his guitar, Su Yu's thoughts spun like rapidly turning wheels, comparing and searching through the few songs he hadn't yet released.
Finally, his gaze settled on one song; that was the one!
At this moment, in the living room on the first floor, Han Jiangxue and the other three women were all eagerly waiting for Su Yu to start playing and singing.
However, Sister Ling felt a little flustered.
Because she hadn't expected that her casual request would actually draw Jiang Yu over.
If Su Yu couldn't produce a song that was above standard, would he lose points with Jiang Yu?
In that case, she would have done more harm than good.
However, looking at Su Yu's serious yet calm expression, she felt that her worries seemed a bit unnecessary.
And at this moment, Su Yu had finally selected the song.
He didn't look up, but gently plucked the guitar, and a simple guitar melody intro followed.
Since there was only one guitar accompaniment, it was naturally impossible to demand a rich and colorful arrangement for this song; one could only hope the melody and lyrics would bring a surprise.
At this moment, Su Yu's deep, magnetic singing also came out. He was truly singing this song very seriously.
"【A person as excellent as self, should have lived a brilliant life. How come after more than twenty years, self is still drifting in the sea of people.】"
Well, Su Yu finally chose Qian Buyi's "A Person Like Me."
And when Han Jiangxue and the other women heard the first line, "A person as excellent as self," they were all a little dumbfounded.
After all, who would praise self so directly as excellent? That's too thick-skinned, isn't it?
However, when the subsequent lyrics came out, they understood that this was self-deprecating.
But, considering how well Su Yu was doing in the lyricist and composer circles at the moment, they felt that the lyrics were a bit too modest.
People are just like that, very contradictory.
And Su Yu lowered his head, his singing continuing:
"【A person as smart as self, long ago said goodbye to innocence. How come self still used a relationship to exchange for a body full of scars.】"
Is Su Yu smart? Of course!
After all, he was the provincial top scorer in the college entrance examination.
It was the subsequent relationship that puzzled them.
Because they knew that Su Yu had not been in a relationship until now.
So, this relationship was not about love, but very likely about family!
Connecting this with Su Yu's background, Han Jiangxue's heart inexplicably ached.
And the chorus of the song was now sung by Su Yu's very emotional voice.
"【A person as confused as self, a person as searching as self, a person as mediocre as self, how many more have you seen.】"
Hearing this, they also guessed that this song was not an impromptu creation, but a work of Su Yu's before he joined Tianxing Entertainment and became a lyricist and composer.
However, listening to Su Yu's emotional singing, tinged with faint sadness and self-mockery, it was impossible not to be moved at this moment.
Moreover, from the lyrics of this song, they seemed to see their former selves.
After all, who, in their reckless youth, didn't think they were smart and excellent?
However, after entering society, that self-proclaimed excellence and specialness had long been smoothed out, blending into the crowd.
"【A person as vulgar as self, never likes to pretend to be profound... A person as cowardly as self, always holds back... Thought of going all out.】"
When the second verse of the song came out, the sense of resonance instantly became even stronger.
Especially Sister Ling and Sun Xiaoxiao, their eyes were a little red at this moment, because they seemed to see themselves in Su Yu's song.
On the other hand, Han Jiangxue and Jiang Yu's hearts were filled with pity for Su Yu.
"【A person as confused as self, a person as searching as self. A person as mediocre as self, how many more have you seen.
A person as lonely as self, a person as foolish as self, a person as unwilling to be ordinary as self, how many people are there in the world.】"
It was at this moment that Su Yu's voice suddenly grew stronger, and his emotions erupted.
What was originally a very plain song, with the sudden intensity of emotion, coupled with Su Yu's strengthened voice, was truly very infectious.
They hadn't expected to just ask Su Yu to sing an impromptu song to liven up the atmosphere.
Now the atmosphere hadn't livened up, but instead, he had sung them into a somewhat depressed state.
However, this song was really good, and every line of the lyrics was deeply etched into their hearts.
Sister Ling felt that if Su Yu released this song, he would definitely be able to gain a foothold in the music industry as a singer.
And just as they were lost in their thoughts, the song came to an end.
Su Yu slowly raised his head and sang the last line of the song:
"【A person as inexplicably strange as self, will anyone feel pity.】"
When the women heard the last line of the song, they were completely stunned.
These incredibly simple lyrics could actually have such terrifying destructive power.
And at this moment, Su Yu seemed to have a faint halo around him; this man was too handsome at this moment!
Now, they even felt their tears were a little out of control.
Especially Han Jiangxue, her pretty face was already soaked with tears, and her beautiful eyes, looking at Su Yu, were filled with countless complex emotions.
Even Jiang Yu wiped away a tear at this moment, deeply feeling Su Yu's hardships over the past twenty years.
"Su Yu, are you really not considering debuting as a singer? You sing this song really well, and you're destined to become an instant hit! And you can write and sing your own songs; these conditions are simply unique."
Sister Ling spoke, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the living room at the right time.
"My current state is limited to singing one or two songs at a time; I'll wait until I'm feeling better. However, recent check-up results have been very good, and the doctor said that as long as I maintain it, there's a high chance of full recovery."
Su Yu didn't hide anything, after all, his illness was no secret.
However, he felt it necessary to emphasize that his condition had shown signs of improvement, to reassure Jiang Yu, who was sitting next to Han Jiangxue.
"Xiao Yu, don't push yourself too hard, pay more attention to your health, after all, health is the most important thing."
Jiang Yu spoke softly, a warm and kind smile on her face.
