Chapter 14 You Rock
1086 Words
His live set remained silent.
The comment bar stopped scrolling as soon as Norman opened his mouth.
Much to his surprise, the cynicism was gone.
He thought that in the middle of his song, the audience would laugh at him, interrupt him and stop him from singing.
But the song was almost over, and he heard no sound but his own.
After singing the last line, he unconsciously opened his eyes to look at the comments section.
Was everyone gone?
It struck a chill to the heart of the poor Norman.
Norman hurried to check the number of people in his live set.
Before Norman closed his eyes and sang, there were 39 people in his live set.
Now it was 45.
Not bad.
He went to look at Emma who was standing there quietly supporting him.
She was staring at him with her eyes wide open and her hands over her mouth in disbelief.
Emma had to cover her mouth because she was afraid that she would scream with joy and scare away the audience.
Norman was so awesome!
For the last two days, she had seen how hard it was for Norman.
She was distressed to hear the obscenity directed at Norman by the audience.
Little did she know that Norman had such a trump card.
The song he just sang was the sound of nature!
"Did I just hear something? Somebody tell me what's going on."
The comment section was finally getting active again.
"Did he strike back?"
This was a fair appraisement
Norman used to be an idle loser, but now he worked hard to make money. In this sense, he did strike back.
In just a few minutes, more and more fans followed him.
"Whose song is this? I haven't heard it before."
"I couldn't find it on the Internet. Please share with us!"
"Second! "
"What a beautiful song! Sing it again!"
Everyone talked about the song just now.
Such a beautiful melody and passionate lyrics successfully touched the hearts of the listeners.
Norman had sung this song in his previous life when he was in low spirits at that time. He had no ambition and no goal. Even when he sang such a rousing song, it was very limp.
But now he was living a very positive life, for himself and his family.
He remembered the song in the face of doubts and insults, and when he encountered obstacles in the direction of his efforts.
This song had what he wanted to say, such as his helplessness and persistence.
"Well, then I'll sing it again!" Norman readily agreed to the demands of the audience.
Then he saw that Emma, who was standing by, had closed her eyes.
She looked like she couldn't wait!
"Maybe I get a little anxious
Maybe I get a little shy
Cause everybody's trying to be famous…"
Someone started sending flowers to Norman, while others applauded him.
"It's so beautiful!"
"He is a born singer!"
"What's the name of this song?"
"It’s called ‘The Way I Am’. " Norman replied.
With this song, Norman's live set picked up.
He used to have just one fan, Emma. Now he got 21.
Some began to like him, while others doubted him.
"How come you're so good all of a sudden?"
"You are not lip-synching, are you?"
"Or maybe he's just pretending to get our attention!"
Norman ignored the continued taunts as he turned off the live stream.
The next second, Emma jumped at him.
It was over at last, and she could not bear it!
"You rock, Norman. God, I was so impressed today!"
Emma kissed him on the lips.
Norman was not as embarrassed as before to be intimate with Emma again.
He seemed to have got used to it.
It was a blessing that he could get Emma's help and advice during this time.
He even felt that he was not good enough to deserve her.
Maybe when he was successful in his career, he would be enough to match her.
"That's a beautiful song. Did you improvise it?" Emma got down to business.
She liked to listen to music, but she had never heard this song by Norman.
"You sure you haven't?" Norman asked her to confirm.
She nodded.
The songs of his previous life do not exist here. Did that mean he could sing all the songs he used to listen to now?
Thinking of this, he felt that he was not a worthless loser anymore and his fame was just around the corner.
He had a sudden feeling of security. When he looked at Emma again, there was more confidence in his eyes.
There was a reason he hadn't been able to respond directly to Emma's feelings before.
He knew that Original Norman was a man of high self-esteem.
Otherwise, he would not insist on making a living by his true flair.
In front of Emma, he had nothing to match her except this face.
Now he was on the verge of having one.
"Think of it as my improvisation!"
"Well, did my performance today satisfy my girlfriend?"
"Sure, you did! " Emma grinned, "Hey, I'd be more satisfied if you were doing a good job in other areas!"
As Emma said this, she put her hands inside Norman's clothes.
Norman grabbed them and told her not to move.
Not yet.
"Why don't I write you another song tomorrow?" Norman tried to distract Emma.
Emma was such a prim little girl and he didn't expect that she was a lecher.
"Really?" Sure enough, when Emma heard that he was going to write a song for her, she was instantly excited.
Emma rocked her arm around him with a silly grin that made Norman want to laugh.
"Honey, are you writing me a love song?" The surprise was clear in her voice.
"Yeah, an exclusive love song. Are you happy?"
"Gosh, I couldn't be happier." Emma was thrilled beyond words.
Her boyfriend was going to write her a love song.
She was so looking forward to it!
"Can you write it for me now?"
Emma didn't want to wait another second.
"No, it's a surprise. I'll sing it to you tomorrow!"
Emma bent over the table, staring at the clock, counting seconds. She wished the day would be over.
Unconsciously, Emma fell asleep on her desk.
And she looked so beautiful in her sleep!
Norman squatted down beside her, unable to move his eyes from her.
