Chapter Twenty-Five: Playing with Heart Has Soul

  …………………

  Li Chengguo, who was standing beside him, couldn't get a word in edgewise at this moment. Although he wasn't a master of musical instruments, he still had some level of appreciation. Earlier when Li Zhen sang and played, he also noticed that the other party was not performing at their usual level, but he thought it might be due to some nervousness, and would probably get better after a while. However, he didn't expect it to be as Tang Menglong said.

  Li Chengguo still had some understanding of Li Zhi'en, and after running around in society for so many years, he had seen a lot of things. Thinking about Li Zhi'en's surprised expression earlier, and thinking about his own exaggerated words, he somewhat understood why Li Zhi'en would play songs that he hadn't fully mastered yet.

  It's just like this, he didn't know what to say was good.

  "Give me the guitar!" Tang Menglong suddenly frowned and said.

  Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, then lifted his head and looked at Tang Menglong with red eyes. Seeing the young uncle's stern expression, he involuntarily handed over his guitar, but regretted it immediately. What if this uncle smashed it?

  Tang Menglong took the guitar and strummed it lightly, then tuned it and said sternly: "Although we just met by chance, and what you did made me very unhappy, but considering Lao Tuo's sake, and also because you look quite cute, I'll give you a lesson today!"

  "Even an ordinary guitar player can bring soul to a song!"

  After finishing speaking, Tang Menglong suddenly stood up, took a deep breath, and then gently strummed the guitar.

  The guitarist of the band Táng Méng Lóng used to be in told him, "The sound of a guitar has color, shape, movement, sometimes it's like flowing water, sometimes it's like flowing blood, sometimes it's round like raindrops, sometimes it's prickly like thorns, sometimes it comes from heaven, and sometimes it comes from hell."

  But no matter what it is, only those who truly put their heart into it can bring out its flavor and its soul.

  Actually, sometimes no matter what you do, all it takes is a little heart.

  Tang Menglong gently strummed the guitar strings, without showing off any skills, using a very ordinary playing method. A clear and bright guitar sound was emitted, causing Li Zhi'en and Li Chengguo's hearts to beat along with it.

  ……”

  Tang Menglong's vocal range is very wide. When singing this song from Roxette, Tang Menglong's high-pitched voice bursts with force, but the high pitch also has a hint of hoarseness, giving people a different kind of tenderness, vicissitudes and tenacity.

  "Voice of the Soul"

  Can't help but call out

  There's too much to say

  But you don't know what to do

  Magical fragrance

  Former beauty

  When love is crazier than the wind

  I don't know where you will go

  I don't know why

  But listen to your heart

  When Tang Menglong finished singing his last lyrics, he didn't stop but played a prelude again as the ending.

  Lee Ji-eun and Lee Sung-guk are now fully immersed in the world of music, and with Tang Menglong's gentle strumming, they seem to have really heard their own hearts, hearing the emotions in their hearts.

  Just like the song name, 《》, what I'm listening to is my own heart's voice.

  As Tang Menglong said, his guitar level is just ordinary, but once he plays with heart, it's different. Of course, this "heart" doesn't mean that any song can be played into a divine music, this "heart" not only refers to talent, but also effort.

  Just like when you really like a song and want to sing it in front of your friends or girlfriend, you'll practice it over and over again until you can master it perfectly. When you finally play it with all your heart, it naturally has soul, not because the song itself has come alive, but because the player or singer has given it soul.

  This is playing with heart, playing with soul.

  "If you're not willing, then don't play; if you want to play, then put your heart into it!" Tang Menglong handed over the guitar and said sincerely.

  At this moment, Li Zhen also came back to his senses, and his eyes burst out with extremely passionate and worshipful light. He took over Tang Menglong's guitar, stood up quickly and bowed hastily, then said very gratefully: "Thank you, uncle, for your guidance. I was wrong earlier, I hope uncle can listen to me play again!"

  Tang Menglong was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a worshipful look in the girl's eyes, and then he felt a little pleased with himself. Although Tang Menglong had been somewhat angry earlier, it wasn't about playing well or badly; rather, it was because he felt that his opponent didn't take this matter seriously, so why bother forcing himself?

  If Tang Menglong himself chose not to like or be unwilling to do something, he would rather die than do it. But once he chose to do something, he had to do it to the best of his ability, just like that "black" five-stone chess, although in the end he didn't do well, but he really practiced hard for a long time.

  When he heard this girl named Li Zhi En make another request, Tang Meng Long shook his head.

  This really got Li Zhen excited, and Li Zhen's mood today can be described as a quadruple jump. From the initial excitement and nervousness upon receiving the news, to the dissatisfaction of being deceived later, to the grievance of being blamed by Tang Menglong, and finally to the excitement and admiration after Tang Menglong sang and played the guitar, that guitar sound was beautiful, and the singing voice was equally moving.

  Li Zhi En was completely enchanted, this is the real pop song, a soulful pop song. She no longer cares about being popular, on the contrary, she cares about whether she can learn from this uncle.

  Just seeing Tang Menglong shaking his head, Li Zhi'en suddenly became anxious and hastily stretched out her hand to grab Tang Menglong's sleeve, excitedly calling out: "Uncle, I really know I was wrong, can you just give me another chance? I'll definitely be very careful, very careful!"

  Tang Menglong looked at the chubby-cheeked girl, looking at his own idolized and expected appearance, the anger in his heart had long since dissipated, and he was still secretly pleased.

  "Cough, cough! No need to play anymore. From the two times before, I could tell you have some skills, plus you're a friend of Baldy's, so this time I'll ask for your help. Anyway, I'll teach you that guitar piece!" Tang Menglong said after clearing his throat, and his words made Li Zhen extremely excited.

  "Thank you, Uncle! Thank you, Big Tree! I will definitely work hard. Also...Uncle, can you guide me on my singing skills?" Li Zhi En's small face turned bright red with excitement, making Tang Meng Long want to take a bite.

  However, in order to maintain his current high-profile image, Tang Menglong's expression remained upright, but the words that followed had a different tone: "Of course, it can be done, but there is one condition!"
