Chapter 94 Don't panic, the sun sets and the moon shines.
Luo Li gently picked up the guitar beside her; its wood grain seemed to tell a story of time under the dim light.
Luo Li slightly adjusted her posture, her gaze gently sweeping over the viewers in the live stream, and softly said, "Okay, the next song is for you, Miss. Let's make peace with the past, because we're living in the future."
Her voice was soft yet firm, as if she were whispering to everyone, or as if she were declaring an attitude to the whole world.
Luo Li gently plucked the strings and tested the sound. The crisp sound echoed in the room, as if it were a prelude to breaking the silence.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes slightly, and her slender fingers slowly touched the strings. Then, a beautiful sound flowed from her fingertips, like a clear mountain stream, gently flowing into the hearts of every listener.
"Perhaps you are in darkness, and you can hardly remember your original dream. You lower your head, your hands are empty, and you feel a pang of loss and heartache."
Luo Li sang softly, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she could feel the pain of those who were struggling and lost in the darkness.
The live stream room was quiet as the viewers were immersed in the slightly melancholic melody and lyrics.
"Everyone in the world blooms at a different time. You will also encounter beauty. Open your arms to the wind, and you will surely be better, braver, and more composed then."
As the lyrics progressed, Luo Li's expression gradually relaxed. She slightly raised her head, a glimmer of hope shining in her eyes.
Her body swayed gently to the music, as if she were dancing with the melody.
Outside the window, the night was deep, with only one or two stars occasionally twinkling faintly.
The city's hustle and bustle seemed to be filtered out in this corner, leaving only Luo Li's singing voice and the gentle sound of her guitar. In the live stream, the viewers' emotions rose and fell like waves.
"I don't know why I feel like crying! Maybe we're all just too tired!" A comment slowly floated across the screen, breaking the brief silence. Immediately afterward, more comments flooded in like a tidal wave.
"I felt particularly depressed today, but I feel much better now."
"I was setting up a stall and I wanted to cry when I heard this, but I couldn't. I was struggling to make ends meet, my child was growing up, and I had accomplished nothing. Before I had children, I was a child myself, and every day I was thinking about taking good care of my family and parents."
I met her in college, and we went from being in different cities to being in different countries. In the end, we got married and had children.
She never looked down on me for being a failure. I hate that I'm incapable of providing them with a comfortable life.
I'm trying my best to be a stay-at-home dad. My savings tell me... I feel utterly powerless. Humans are destined to die from birth.
Why couldn't things be a little better? I'm sorry to my wife, my family, and my children. If I had known life would turn out this way, I shouldn't have let my child come into this world to suffer the same hardships I did. I should have tried to leave something for her. I hope her life won't be too tiring.
I'm trying my best to provide for my wife, hoping she'll be happy in her later years.
The viewer's comment was long, revealing the helplessness of life and deep guilt towards family. Luo Li seemed to have seen the comment as well. A hint of emotion flashed in her eyes, and her fingers paused slightly on the strings. A complex emotion welled up in her heart. She knew the hardships of life and admired the viewer's responsibility to his family.
"I'm 35 now, and I feel lost. I don't know which way to go in life. Apart from my adorable child, everything is unsatisfactory, or rather, I can barely get by. But it feels very stifling. At 35, I have no skills, no advantages, and no resources. How can I make my life better?"
Another viewer's sentiment also appeared on the screen. Luo Li sighed softly. She seemed to see that figure wandering aimlessly in life, not knowing where their direction was, and struggling only in ordinariness and resentment.
"I'm 40 and about to lose my job. I feel so sad and lost. I feel like nobody in the world understands me, but I still have to keep going. Keep going!"
This comment carried a deep weariness and worry about the future. Luo Li bit her lip slightly; she wanted to offer strength and comfort to those struggling in these difficult times.
"Recently, I've encountered some things at work that have really made me anxious. More than ten years of hard work have been negated because of one thing. When I heard this song, I really broke down and cried. I hope that after crying, I can turn the page and that tomorrow's sun will be brighter than today's. From now on, I can face the future with more composure."
Luo Li empathized with a viewer's story, and she quickened the pace of her playing, as if trying to use music to dispel the gloom in the viewer's heart.
In this small live-streaming room, Luo Li's singing voice became a bridge connecting her heart with the audience.
She continued singing: "Don't be confused, don't panic, the sun sets but the moonlight shines, it will illuminate your path in life and accompany you to where you want to go. Don't hesitate, don't be discouraged, the moon sleeps but the sun rises, look up and the sky will surely brighten, and the one you love will be by your side as you wish."
Every lyric is like a warm word of advice, and every note is like a ray of light piercing through the darkness.
As the song drew to a close, Luo Li's voice grew increasingly ethereal, her eyes filled with anticipation for the future. After the song ended, the screen remained silent for a moment, as if everyone was still immersed in the emotions evoked by the music.
Then, the barrage of comments instantly filled the entire screen like fireworks.
"As I listened, my eyes involuntarily welled up with tears. These past few days have felt like being in a thick fog, my heart filled with confusion, unable to find a way forward."
"People are busy and anxious all day long, all they want is a few pieces of silver. But these few pieces of silver have bent the backs of so many people and made countless souls struggle in the mire of life."
"Don't be confused, don't panic. The sun sets but the moon remains, illuminating your path and accompanying you to where you want to go. Don't hesitate, don't be discouraged. The moon sleeps but the sun rises. Look up and the sky will surely brighten. The one you love will be by your side as you wish. Everyone in the world blooms at a different time, and you will also encounter beauty." This is so well written, it has been incredibly healing.
"Everyone has a beautiful day, even if it's just for a moment."
"What I fear most is missing the sunrise and the sunset, and then there's no moonlight. That's life."
"This song healed me when I was on the verge of a breakdown. My heart suddenly calmed down, and I felt that everything would pass."
Looking at the comments, Luo Li smiled with satisfaction. She knew that music sometimes had this kind of magic, capable of giving people strength when they were most vulnerable, and guiding lost souls in the darkness back to their senses.
On this night, she used her singing to light a lamp for those who were exhausted by life, letting them believe that no matter how difficult life is, there is always something beautiful waiting ahead.
