Black Lotus - Chap 117
Shen Luoan looked at the score of ‘cage’ in his hand, the smile on his face trembles as he looked at the direction of the camera, he gritted his teeth and walked to the piano slowly.
The ‘Cage’ is the first song released by WE, and it is also the first song that got popular and made WE a world-wide-famous. It is the favorite song in the hearts of all fans. It can make people feel the heartbreaking sadness and depression just from the sound of the piano.
The difficulty of this piece is hailed as the most extremely difficult piano piece. The most difficult, classic middle and high part of the song has been challenged by many pianists, but they all failed. The famous pianist Phil is just one of the few challengers who succeeded.
Shen Luoan bowed to the audience and sat down, gently placing his hands on the keys, as his eyes flickered slightly.
It’s just the same as playing the piano to win prizes, my piano skills are not much worse than WE.
But this time Shen Luoan ignored one thing, Brave and the ‘cage’ are way too different.
Fans have never heard WE play Brave, but the ‘cage’ was played by WE and had been heard by fans countless times.
When the piano starts playing, some of the audience felt something was wrong, but they only thought that WE just hadn’t played for a long time.
When the tune gradually reached the most classic and noble passage in the middle, the more dull it became. The transition in the middle couldn’t make it up, and the audience at the scene couldn’t feel the original emotions of the song played in the piano.
“What’s the matter? How did WE’s piano became so ordinary?”
“Is he really WE? His piano sounds doesn’t have that deep-rooted kind of emotion.”
“I don’t believe that WE can play this badly. He can play the whole song perfectly.”
The audience murmured in auditorium, as they looked at Shen Luo’an with doubts in their eyes.
At this time, the Internet also made headlines because of the live version of the song, and they felt that this couldn’t be WE’s piano skill. Some people even claimed that WE did not have this ability and was overblown.
This time, how Shen Luoan played provoked the pianist Phil, who posted a Weibo on the same day.
[WE’s music is the best, and the cage is my favorite song. I won’t allow anyone to slander it, let alone the rat that pops out of nowhere to tarnish WE’s reputation! ]

After Gu Yan Sheng had watched the entire broadcast, he turns off his computer as he leaned against his seat, his eyes were filled of confusion.
Tang Shuo posted the finished theme song on the computer, he rubbed his sore neck, and looked at Wen Niannan who was sitting in front of the window.
The person in the light blue knitted cardigan sat obediently at the window while holding a book and looking at it seriously. Tang Shuo smiled blankly at the scene.
______
“Today we invited the great God of DAWN, WE! Welcome!”
“Hello everyone, I am WE Shen Luoan .” Wen Niannan out of the blue heard the name WE that made him immediately turned his head to look at the big screen behind him
It was Shen Luoan on the screen…
Tang Shuo saw Wen Niannan staring at Shen Luoan, thinking that he might remember the bad memories again, he quickly said to the employee who turned on the TV, “Lingling, change the channel, the show isn’t good.”
“Ah? Oh okay.”
“You don’t need to change it, Lingling, please continue watching it.”
Wen Niannan looked down back at the book in his hand and didn’t speak any more.
Shen Luo’an’s voice continued to echo from the TV, until the host asked how the cage was created, Wen Niannan stopped turning the page and looked at the TV again.
“The cage was created when I was in the downturn of my life, when I was framed and had to live in another country helplessly. During that time, I suffered a lot of setbacks so I created this song.”
After Wen Niannan heard Shen Luo’an’s words, his eyes fell slightly dark.
Phil’s Weibo made more people suspect that Shen Luo’an was not WE at all, but it is undeniable that Shen Luo’an’s way of playing was highly similar to WE’s style when he was in high school.
Many people have left a message under the WE news on the DAWN website, and clamored that Shen Luoan should use WE account to prove himself, but Shen Luoan never responded.

Gu Yansheng frowned and looked at the person in front of him, and said solemnly “Luoan, are you telling me the truth that are you really WE?”
Shen Luoan has never seen Gu Yansheng stare at him with such sharp eyes, making him froze in place for a while.
At this time, he naturally can’t deny that he is WE, but he can only bite the bullet and recognize it.
“Yes, I am WE, Yan Sheng, what’s the matter with you?”
“Nothing…Since you are WE, don’t worry about the things on the Internet, you should go back and rest.”
Shen Luoan nodded lightly and looked at Gu Yansheng, but the man in suit did not look at his face. Shen Louan thought if Gu Yansheng knew that he is WE, he would jump in surprise and joy but Gu Yansheng didn’t reacted, making Shen Louan turn and left unwillingly.
Gu Yansheng looked at Shen Luoan’s back, he is standing near the window to light a cigarette as he watch the vehicle downstairs, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
[Shen Luoan! come out to clarify! Are you WE in the end? Don’t pretend to be WE! ]
[That Phil is a pig, and her piano skills are not as good as Shen Luo’an’s, so he started to trick us and said he was an imposter]
[Shen Luo’an did experience a prison of hardships in another country, he is of course WE]
[Since you don’t admit it as an impersonation, then use the WE account to send a statement! ]
[If you think Shen Luo’an is posing as a fake, please leave a message at DAWN]
[Sister, I have left a message so much but it’s useless, my family is in the WE Taifo department and WE usually do not log in to the account]
[Waiting for a big reply from WE]
On the other side, Shen Luo’an is calling someone with a cold face “Why haven’t you succeeded in stealing WE’s account!”

“Mr. Shen, this DAWN is famous for its high confidentiality in order to protect the privacy of the composers. It is almost impossible to steal it.
” Then you go find a way!”
Ding…
[Warning! Your account is suspected of being stolen and has been blocked by the security system!]
Suddenly, Wen Niannan received the anti-theft alert from the website, and after looking at the account, he exited. All of a sudden, he heard a familiar song and saw that Tang Shuo was using his cell phone to look at the cage played by Shen Luoan.
Seeing Wen Niannan looking at him, Tang Shuo scratched his head habitually and sets down the phone away.
“Can you believe that Shen Luoan would really be WE? I saw Phil said to his face that he replaced him, but I also have heard that Shen Luoan’s music is indeed the same as WE god. I really didn’t expect the god I once admired so much turned out to be Shen Luoan .”
Wen Niannan was taken aback when he heard Tang Shuo’s words, and said “Do you really admire WE?”
“Of course, anyone who likes music will adore WE, how about you? Do you know WE? he was very powerful piano composer, but he was too low-key, mysterious and was always reluctant to show his face. ”
“But would Shen Luoan have a hard time? After suddenly showing up out of nowhere? Especially with how Phil reacted to his way of playing of the cage. Who would have thought he turned out to be the great God WE”
Wen Niannan looked at the piano beside him and whispered “He is not…”
“What? How did you know he is not?”
Wen Niannan did not speak. Instead, he stood up to walked towards the piano and sat down.
Suddenly, the sound of piano echoed in the room, it was the cage song.
Tang Shou saw how Niannan’s hands fly on the black and white keys, and how the beautiful piano sound rang out. The cage music piece makes people feel like dreams and illusions, but also true and false, after the suppressed despair.
“In the beginning, I didn’t want to cause trouble or contact Shen Luoan anymore so I decided not to admit it, but I can’t bear it now that he claims in the show that the cage is written by his own experience.”
“Personal experience?”
Wen Niannan’s eyes flashed slightly, looking at the piano, he said “The cage… is my memory of the dim time after my mother died, but Shen Luoan lied that it was base from his own experiences to deceive fans. I won’t allow people like him to tarnish the noble music, let alone let him. He is cheating the fans of WE.”
Tang Shuo stepped forward with distress and shook Wen Niannan’s hand. Suddenly something seemed to come to mind.
“So in the past few years, Shen Luoan used your tune for winning awards? Like Yaguo’s song ?”
“I don’t know.”
Tang Shuo quickly search the tune from the Internet and gave it to Wen Niannan. After Wen Niannan heard it, he was startled as he nodded lightly.
“This… is one of the songs I made when I first joined DAWN, but at that time they said it was just used to play background music for musicals.”
Tang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and then a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
“Niannan, what is your DAWN account password?”
At this time, fans who were anxiously waiting for WE’s reply suddenly received a notification.
Ding~
[Your special attention “WE” has been online]
[ Regarding the private message about cage playing, I was wronged. At present, I only have one account on DAWN. I don’t have any account in other social platforms. I heard many of you asking me to participate in a show but I have not participated in any show yet, however, I might try it in the future. Recently, someone wants to steal my account. If you think DAWN’s security system is imaginary, you can try stealing it.]
It was an actual hard slap in the face of Shen Luoan, after WE indicated that he had not participated in any shows. The fans who were still on the sidelines immediately unified the front.
And just when the fans were tearing it up on the Internet, Mingyue Studio uploaded a video, but the video only captured a pair of slender hands.

And the owner of these hands in the video… is playing the cage…
