Chapter 694: Pass!

Sensei Teng wiped the tears from his face and said in a hoarse voice, “Is this new song written for us?”

“Hahaha, I don’t feel bad at all for losing to him. I didn’t expect to have a match with such a wonderful youngster at this age. It was a good loss!” Sensei Luo laughed heartily.

“It’s a new song? Just who is this guy?” Andy Lau had a surprised expression. He was also considered a singer from the older generation and was similarly moved by the song.

On the stage, Ye Lingchen continued to sing.

“While you’re still there wondering

“Of coming things. Via via

“Will life get better or will things get worse?

“For me, it’s another day.”

The hall fell silent!

None made any sound.

“I’ve once ruined everything,

“And could only leave forever.”

“I’ve once fell into absolute boundless darkness,

“Unable to escape.

“I”ve been like you and them and those wild flowers,

“Despairing, yearning, crying, and smiling, being ordinary.”

...

Those previously screaming for the little fresh meats and despised Ye Lingchen were stunned, speechless.

Was that not an accurate depiction of his current situation?

It seemed as though nobody had any hopes for him, just like the wild flower, despairing, being ordinary.

At that moment, a lot of people teared up as they empathized with him.

On the stage, Ye Lingchen remained in the same spot.

“Keep walking, just like this, even if you’re given something.”

“Keep walking, just like this, even if they’ve taken your things.”

“Keep walking, just like this, even if you’ve missed out on something.”

“Keep walking, just like this, even if you—”

“I’ve walked across the mountains and seas, and in crowds beyond all these

“I’ve once asked the entire world, yet the answer eludes me.”

“I’m just like you and them and those flowers and weeds.”

“This is the only road I’m fated to walk.”

Everyone, even the viewers in the live stream, cried.

As the emotions washed through them, their tears flowed uncontrollably. That song...hit them deeply in their feelings.

Ye Lingchen then sighed softly,

“Time passes by, just like this.”

“Tomorrow’s right before your eyes.”

“The breeze goes on, the road still far.”

“Where did I leave my story off?”

The song ended.

It was just like when Ye Lingchen stepped on the stage. In fact, it was even quieter than that!

There was neither applause, cheers, nor screams. Even the breathing sounds in the audience were barely audible.

However, following the camera’s rotation, one would see countless tear filled faces crying in the audience.

The melody stopped along with the music.

By the time the audience recovered from their daze, Ye Lingchen had already disappeared from the stage, silently gone from the stage.

Sitting in front of a TV screen, a girl was watching the show’s live stream. She was caught in a dilemma.

“This song is very nice, but...I like Taotao more. What should I do? I should still vote for my Taotao. I can’t be a traitor!” However, the next second, she felt lighter all of a sudden as she was lifted in the air.

“Ah, Daddy, what’re you—” Nevertheless, the next moment, the little girl was stunned. She seemed to have seen some tears in her father’s eyes.

“It’s okay for you to chase after celebrities. However, can you please cast your vote to that brother that was singing earlier?” Her father’s voice was a little hoarse.

“Okay.” The little girl nodded. “Daddy, what happened to you?”

“You’ll understand when you’re older.”

Somewhere else, an old couple was watching the live stream. At their age, it was way past the age for where they behaved wildly. Most of the time, they would just watch the shows to pass time and did not have the energy to take part in it.

“Dear, even Sensei Teng was eliminated earlier.”

“Yeah. I used to love his songs so much back then.”

“We’re old now...”

“Yeah, but this time, I feel that we can be young once more! Let’s make our vote count!”

“That’s right! Let’s put up a fight!”

Just as she walked out from backstage, Su Mo’s eyes were all red with tear stains running down her cheeks.

“Mr. Superman...”

“Why are you crying when I’m the one singing? Was it that bad?”

Su Mo shook her head vehemently. “It’s too good. I just feel that it’s unfair.”

“That’s nothing.” Ye Lingchen waved it off.

The eliminated singers were all waiting for him.

Sensei Teng gave him a thumbs up. “Well done.”

Feather chimed in, “Amazing.”

Ye Lingchen nodded and replied with a smile, “Thank you.”

Right then, the live stream went into a frenzy.

[F*ck! I cried!]

[Why? Why does my heart feel so uncomfortable?]

[As we grow older, we have more tears.]

[Damn, that’s it. I’m definitely supporting this song!]

[That’s right. Vote!]

[OMG, this song is too good. Most importantly, it’s his original work. That’s just crazy!]

[Just who is this Superman. He’s so talented!]

[Oh no, I’m stuck in a dilemma. Who should I support?]

Of course, there were many who could not appreciate the song as well.

[What’s so great about it? Why are so many people crying?]

[It didn’t seem like anything special. It’s just a plain and uninteresting song.]

[There wasn’t even anyone clapping after listening to the whole thing. It seems this Superman is a gone case.]

[It lacks excitement. I don’t like it.]

...

The entire program crew was calculating the votes.

Be it the live audience, TV viewers, or backstage, everyone was on their nerves as they eagerly waited for the final result.

Next, Luo Sisi walked out with a card in her hand. “The voting for the first round has ended. I believe everyone had already done what you could do to support the king of singers in your mind. Unfortunately, one of the four singers on the stage will have to leave the stage. The vote count is in my hands. I will not announce the number of votes. Instead, I will name the eliminated contestant. Without further ado, the singer that will be leaving us is—”

Silence!

The entire hall fell into an absolute silence!

Right then, everyone held their breaths at the same time.

Countless people were celebrating internally for the show being on a live stream or they would most likely have to go through a round of commercials.

Luo Sisi looked into the camera and slowly announced a name, “Star...light.”

‘S-s-starlight? It’s not Superman?!’

Starlight was Huang Xing’s nickname.

At that moment, a lot of them were dumbfounded.

Su Mo could not stop herself from covering her mouth as she almost screamed out loud. ‘He passed! He actually passed!’

Sensei Teng was stunned for a moment, then he showed a relieved smile. “I knew that kid can pass!”

Sensei Luo massaged his own chest. “I almost had a heart attack. There wasn’t even a single clap earlier.”

Chen Xiaoyan relaxed her tightly held fists in front of her chest, silently muttering “Yeah!” to herself.

Jay Chou laughed. “Aiyo, not bad.”

[Damn, is that for real? Superman managed to break through the little fresh meats’ barricade?]

[Amazing, truly amazing. I must say, Superman is really skilled at singing.]

[It seems even little fresh meats have their limits. In the end, skills still won out.]

[Keep it up, Superman. I’m rooting for you!]
