Quickly Wear The Face Of The Devil

FOD Chap 6.6

Chapter 6.6

This was a very heavy song, a belated talk. His father's love was like a mountain, it always made Ou Zi Nan feel oppressed and unable to move. He was afraid to see his father's disappointed expression, so he did everything he could to squeeze and force himself, but that only pushed him into a plight of timidity that he couldn't break out from. How could a person who could skillfully play eighteen musical instruments have no musical talent?

It wasn't until his father passed away that the haze that had blinded him finally lifted, stirring up infinite courage within him. He'd poured all his repressed love, unsaid emotions, and painful helplessness into the song.

All the contradictions, struggles, longing, and reluctance were released by Zhou Yun Sheng's singing. Unconsciously, many people had burst into tears, and Zhou Yun Sheng, influenced by Ou Zi Nan's residual feelings, was also choking on his emotions and lost his voice, unable to continue.

The piano music came to a grinding halt, Zhou Yun Sheng covered his face to hide his distress. Suddenly, Ou Yi Bai's aged face appeared on the huge LED screen. He was holding a video camera, aiming the lens at himself, he weakly opened, 

"My son said he'll sing a song he wrote especially for me; I'm looking forward to it."

The camera pans and focuses on the handsome young man sitting in front of the piano. The furnishings indicated that they should be in the Ou family villa.

The youth was very nervous, he loosened the top two buttons of his shirt, coughed, then slowly said, 

"This song is called 'Because of You'. Dad, I put a lot of the things I've always wanted to say in this song. You must listen carefully."

Ou Yi Bai promised, although he was no longer on the screen, his voice held true delight and satisfaction.

In the audience, Lin Si Qing's fans stared open mouthed, their hearts bubbling forth with extreme embarrassment. Pictures of the evidence Lin Si Qing submitted to the court were released on his blog, all the 'Because of You' manuscripts were time stamped, showing that he'd composed it after his mentor's death.

But in the video, while Ou Yi Bai was still alive, Ou Zi Nan had already written the song, and he was also singing it in front of his face. 

In the end, who was the one who plagiarized? The answer was already self-evident. The manuscripts submitted by Lin Si Qing would become irrefutable proof of his own lies.

The rhythm was the same, the singing was the same, and the way the singing stopped half-way was the same. 

Ou Zi Nan rested his forehead against the piano, big drops of tears falling onto the black and white piano keys. He obviously felt pain and despair over not being able to save his father.

Ou Yi Bai lifted the quilt and staggered to his son's side. He crouched down and held his hand tightly, saying, 

"Zi Nan, this song is great, it's the best song I've ever heard in my life. There's something I've always wanted to tell you."

"What is it?" 

The young man turned to look at him, his eyes and nose were glowing red, he looked very fragile, but also very cute.

Ou Yi Bai chuckled and inserted his fingers into his son's hair, saying slowly but firmly, 

"Zi Nan, you have never let me down, on the contrary, you have always been my pride. You are your father's pride."

For this affirmation, Ou Zi Nan had waited for more than ten years. He blinked incredulously, while he was still shocked, Ou Yi Bai pulled him into his arms and gently patted him, like a small baby.
