Chapter 004: Even the most beautiful song should not be sung twenty times

If one has returned in sorrow due to a broken heart, this would indeed make sense

However, upon hearing the following two sentences, Yang Shihan could not help but furrow her delicate brows

The singing of Yang Qian next door continues, while several versions of the script about her brother's heartbreak have already flashed through Yang Shihan's agile mind, the most outrageous of which involves a classic web novel plot of a wealthy family abandoning a marriage, ... followed by the storyline of her brother's future comeback ...

Yang Qian sang "The Past Can Only Be Reminisced" over and over again, but it was merely to practice his singing skills, to accumulate performance opportunities, and to unlock new songs and new abilities

However, who exactly is that childhood sweetheart of yours? Do I know them?

Yang Shihan's shock was only fleeting, followed by an expression of excitement to pry into her brother's gossip

Which childhood sweetheart is my brother actually reminiscing about

Is that true? Bro, when did you learn to write songs?

It is still like a verse!

The older brothers I knew when I was young also know those older sisters themselves

Here again

Is it really that impressive? Writing such beautiful songs!

Yang Shihan felt that her brother would not sing such a song for no reason, and he sang it with such genuine emotion that she could sense the feelings of sadness and regret

Recalling the childhood days of playing together with bamboo horses and green plums, the two children, innocent and unguarded, spent day and night in each other's company

Who has changed their mind

Yang Shihan knows that her brother enjoys listening to music, and she has also listened to quite a few old songs with him in the past

Oh, brother, weren't you just singing along with your phone?

Time once gone will never return, past events can only be reminisced...

This cannot be considered as slacking off, as Yang Shihan has completed all the exam papers and exercise books that were set aside.

But what surprised her even more was her brother's singing ability; it seemed that her brother had never sung this well before

Indeed

Of course, that was in the past. Now, Yang Shihan prefers to listen to slightly newer songs—such styles and lyrical themes are more suitable for young people

However, after watching the television series for just a short while, Yang Shihan's ears suddenly twitched

Change of heart

Well, actually I didn't blame you for singing, you sang quite well just now

She was previously puzzled as to why such an impressive person as her brother would choose to return to Hecheng to be a junior reporter. Could it be that there were no reporter positions available for him to choose from in large cities like Yangcheng or Pengcheng

Yang Shihan walked in while curiously looking at Yang Qian's guitar

Although she was filled with resentment, Yang Shihan still paused the TV series on her phone, curiously straining to listen and see what her brother was singing.

Yang Shihan detected a hint of sadness in her brother's singing voice

However, you cannot sing a song more than ten or twenty times; if you are not tired of it, I am already about to be sick of it!

In fact, it is not that exaggerated; Yang Qian only sang it four or five times

Damn, I forgot that this girl Hanhang is at home today

Yang Qian did not sing as if reciting poetry; his voice still carried warmth intertwined with sadness. Even in his gentle humming, there lingered a sense of helplessness and disappointment.

However, Yang Shihan did not rush to go back; she sat on her brother's bed with a guitar in her arms, preparing a whole bunch of questions to "interrogate" her brother!

However, the emotion conveyed by my brother's singing is seamlessly integrated with the lyrics

Although she has plenty of original exam papers in her backpack that she could work on, the top student indicated that it is unnecessary

I just learned it last semester, and after the work was confirmed, I basically had nothing else to do, so I practiced on my own.

That's not right, when did you learn to play the guitar? You play so smoothly that I didn't even realize it was you playing

And because of whom did I suffer from love's wounds—Isn't there a saying, "You will change your heart just as time cannot be turned back"?

I won't sing anymore, I won't sing anymore, have I disturbed your studies?

Brother, what is the song you just sang about childhood sweethearts? I couldn't find it online

There is no way, the song provided by the system, Yang Qian does not claim to have written it himself, and he cannot explain it to others either

Yang Shihan was utterly confused, and even felt that her brother was more like reciting poetry.

Yang Shihan was also curious, so she spent a long time searching on her phone; otherwise, she would have come much earlier. How could she have "endured" it for more than ten or twenty times?

Yang Shihan once again displayed the deeply resentful expression she had when opening the door

Now that my brother is singing, it sounds somewhat like a professional singer. If it weren't for my familiarity with my brother's voice, I would even think that this is a song played by a computer or a phone!

Yang Qian watched his sister play around with his guitar without paying much attention, and he even chuckled at the amusing sight

Yang Qian was engrossed in practice, unaware of how much time had passed, when suddenly he heard the bedroom door being knocked on with a "bang bang bang". It was at this moment that he suddenly came to his senses

However, Yang Qian's admission left Yang Shihan utterly shocked

You are destined to change your heart like time cannot be reversed, I can only rely on you in my dreams

Time once gone never returns, past events can only be reminisced...

Yang Qian hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said it this way

She raised her head and looked towards her brother's room, where the sound of music faintly drifted from.

I want to sing, and there are many places where I can do so. Yang Qian is planning to take his guitar and go to the park outside the community to sing. As long as he doesn't get too close to the aunties dancing in the square, there are basically no people in other areas after 8:30 PM.

The lyrics start to differ a bit from before

Upon opening the door, Yang Shihan was seen, and Yang Qian felt utterly ashamed.

This song is inherently strange

The spring breeze has once again brought color to the flower buds, and you have also added another year to your age

After a brief pause, Yang Qian began to sing again. His gentle voice, slow rhythm, and clear enunciation allowed Yang Shihan to understand every word he sang, even with the sound slightly muffled by the wall.

Yang Shihan paused for a moment, and the tone clearly indicated that there was still a twist to the story

This song is titled "The Past Can Only Be Reminisced," um, it is a song I wrote

Although Yang Shihan was asking her brother, her hands were not idle; she reached out and picked up the guitar that Yang Qian had just put down, strumming it with great enthusiasm (pretending to be skilled)

After studying the copyright trading platform in detail later, Yang Qian also plans to register the copyrights of those two songs on it

The accompaniment of the guitar is very pleasant, but Yang Qian's singing soon began to resonate.

The lyrics of "Only the Past Can Be Relished" sound very much like poetry, which is why Yang Qian claims to have written them, and Yang Shihan has no doubts about it

She should balance work and rest, studying diligently when it is time to learn, and enjoying herself wholeheartedly when it is time to play

Just now, that childhood friend quickly sang back again

However, the song "Memories Can Only Be Relished" has lyrics that are originally just a short segment, seemingly repetitive, and listening to it once feels as if it has been sung three or four times. In this regard, it is not unreasonable for Yang Shihan to say that it has been sung a dozen or twenty times.

Because whether it is the name of the singer or the name of the lyricist and composer, it cannot be found online, it is likely truly a work from the parallel universe called "Earth"

However

Recalling the childhood days of playing together with bamboo horses and green plums, the two children, innocent and unguarded, spent day and night in each other's company

(Note 1: "Past Events Can Only Be Reminisced," this song was originally sung in a female version. For Yang Qian, the challenge was too great; his rendition is a male version covered by the Good Sisters group, which is quite pleasant to listen to. It differs in style from the female version and possesses an indescribable tenderness. The video is placed in the Easter egg chapter, and everyone can go enjoy it.)

During the time his younger sister is at home, he cannot interfere with her studies, especially since she is approaching her third year of high school

Yang Qian smiled as he placed the guitar back at the foot of the bed

It is already exhausting to work hard on exercises at school. Now that it is a rare weekend off, and I have finally received the phone that my brother bought for me with his manuscript fees, and I can finally watch a bit of television series, why should I add more study tasks for myself?

"If you're going to listen to music, why are you singing along?"

This matter is indeed very worth reminiscing about

However, Yang Qian did not argue with his sister about the issue of the number; he smiled and raised his hand, indicating that he would not sing anymore

Is it still the case that talented men and women communicate through letters, exchanging glances and sentiments?

... ...

It is just like how a normal person does not sing love songs with a heart-wrenching intensity, and how a normal person does not listen to breakup songs and end up heartbroken and in tears.

Whether to engage in a transaction or not, and the matter of money, are of little consequence. Yang Qian simply does not wish to invite trouble for himself, nor does he want to encounter situations where others infringe upon copyrights, leading to unpleasant circumstances regarding his own performances.

What is the matter with this feeling

What song is this

Yang Shihan is not projecting the lyrics of this song onto her brother, after all, this song was not written by him, right

Could it be that there is an underground romance that one is unaware of

Her brother can write songs, and apart from being surprised, Yang Shihan does not have many doubts. After all, Yang Qian has previously written so many essays and has also composed some poems filled with beautiful phrases.

The elder brother truly possesses this capability, and Yang Shihan still feels proud!

No, I played it myself

Of course, these lyrics are also very beautiful, and listening to them is quite lovely

The key is not how the song is written; Yang Shihan is more interested in the story behind this song

Immediately after, Yang Shihan actually heard her brother singing!

Yang Qian did not realize that by merely singing "The Past Can Only Be Reminisced," he could evoke so many strange and peculiar plots in his sister's mind, but he was truly just singing

I don't feel that he has a spark with those older sisters

Is she my brother's girlfriend

Yang Shihan did not understand clearly

Perhaps Yang Qian was initially reminiscing about the golden era of the Chinese music scene, but nostalgia cannot be a substitute for sustenance, and even intense emotions will eventually settle down

I finally understand what is strange about it

In another bedroom, Yang Shihan was excitedly watching a television drama while holding her phone.

Although this is a hypothetical statement, Yang Shihan, in conjunction with the earlier phrase "You have also added a new year," feels that her brother simply does not want to make things so sorrowful, transforming the original "You have changed your heart like time cannot be reversed" into something that remains somewhat ambiguous...

For now, disregarding everything else, Yang Shihan is quite curious about who this childhood friend is

Yang Shihan squinted her eyes, putting down her phone. She wanted to listen carefully once more to see if it was truly as she thought: her brother had secretly been in a relationship and had secretly broken up, suffering emotional pain without telling her!
