Chapter 493: It’s Coming!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Xue’s performance of “Wind” made all the fans in the live broadcast room scream, and the comments were rolling!
It wasn’t until the end of the third song that everyone finally moved on from discussing “Wind.”
[What did Xinxin sing?]
[I don’t know. I didn’t pay attention. My mind has been replaying “Wind” all along.]
[My ears are pregnant. Bai Xue and her family sang so well.]
[I never expected Yueyue to harmonize so perfectly.]
[Their coordination is so perfect. Is Bai Xue not a professional singer? I can’t hear any breathing breaks in her singing.]
[How could Qi Ming’s family not know how to sing? They must have learned a few songs through him.]
As an audience member, Li Yanchen occasionally glanced at the comments and felt that his singing wasn’t bad at all. How come the comments were so different?
He had to sing something in the end. Maybe just a few lines. Perhaps he could do a duet with Lin Wan later.
Then, the children took the microphones. Some sang children’s songs, and others sang popular contemporary songs.
[Feifei’s voice is exactly like my son’s. They even sing in the same way.]
[Why does it still sound so good even when the lyrics are all mixed up?] [Who can resist the charm of children’s voices? They’re so adorable.]
[Where’s Mr. Li? We’ve had five songs already. Why haven’t we seen him?]
[He’s quietly listening in the audience.]
“Next, Li Zexin and Xiao Yi will sing “Iron Blood Loyal Heart” together,” the director said.
[We’ve been waiting for this. Let’s get started!]
[We missed Xinxin’s solo just now, so we must listen carefully to the duet.]
[I’ve got my headphones on. Let’s go!]
Li Zexin cleared his throat. “My mentor and I will sing “Iron Blood Loyal Heart” together. My Cantonese may not be perfect, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes.”
[Xinxin, it’s rare to see you be so humble.] [I can’t believe the two of them would say something like this.]
[Oh, Li Zexin, why are you so modest?]
[I’ve heard your songs on the karaoke platform. They’re all 3-star performances. Being overly modest is like arrogance.]
[Exactly! I’ve heard your Cantonese songs, and they’re pretty accurate.] [The melody is familiar… Ah, here it comes!]
Xiao Yi started singing, and after a while, Li Zexin joined in. They harmonized perfectly and didn’t sound out of place at all.
This was Li Yanchen’s first time hearing his son sing in Cantonese. After listening to the song, he had even more confidence in himself. Even though they weren’t biologically related, they shared the Li family bloodline. The difference couldn’t be that significant.
“Son, well done!” Li Yanchen was the first to applaud.
Li Zexin was pleasantly surprised. Had his father lost his composure? Was he seeing things?
He rubbed his eyes. Sure enough, Li Yanchen was still applauding for him.
“Brother Xinxin, Brother Xiaoxiao, I don’t understand the lyrics, but it sounded so beautiful.” Feifei jumped up in joy.
“I don’t understand either, but it sounds great,” Tutu said.
“Brother Xinxin, I’m proud of you, ” Li Zekai said happily.
[I thought this song was only suitable for couples or solo performances. I didn’t expect two boys to sing it together, and it sounds so good!] [Am I the only one who noticed the eye contact?]
[I noticed it too. The Wind God even smiled slightly. Kill me now!]
[I’m in tears.]
[Who isn’t moved to tears?]
The audience at the venue erupted into cheers.
“Young man, well done,” said Qi Ming and gave Li Zexin and Xiao Yi a thumbs-up.
“Thank you all! Thank you, Teacher Qi Ming.”
Seeing that all the songs on the playlist were about to finish, Li Yanchen finally stood up. “Everyone, give me a chance. I want to sing “A True Lover” with my wife.”
Everyone was speechless.
“What? Such an old song?” asked Lin Wan.
[Isn’t this song just a few years younger than Lin Wan? Has she heard it before?]
[Wait a minute… Wasn’t Mr. Li missing from the list?]
[It’s obvious that Mr. Li saw everyone enjoying themselves and wanted to join in to feel included.]
[But it’s such an old song! Can Lin Wan really sing it? Shouldn’t they discuss it first?]
“Dad, aren’t you supposed to be in charge of the applause?” asked Li Zekai.
[Hahaha, such a devoted son.]
[What Zekai means is that you weren’t on the list for singing. Just clap your hands for the others.]
The others remained silent. It seemed that shaking their heads wouldn’t work either. Li Yanchen had persevered through several setbacks. They had to acknowledge him. They couldn’t bring themselves to refuse him.
Although Lin Wan was full of doubts, she didn’t discourage her husband either. “I know this song. How about letting me and Mr. Li give it a try?” Lin Wan said.
“Sure.”
“Do you want to practice first?”
“Sure, then we’ll sing in the next turn.” Lin Wan hadn’t sung this song in a long time and needed to brush up on the lyrics.
With his wife’s support, Li Yanchen felt even more confident.
Second to last on the list was “A True Lover” by Lin Wan and Li Yanchen.
When the beat started, the mothers waved their glow sticks.
As expected, Li Yanchen went off-key again.
[Help! Mr. Li is here to torture us again.]
[Is there something wrong with my taste in music? Why do I feel like this isn’t that bad?]
[Oh my God, it’s coming!]
[I think it’s okay. At least Mr. Li and Sister Wan don’t sound that bad. Many cover artists modify the songs these days anyway.]
[I think it’s not bad either. Although it sounds more like a recitation. Sister Wan has been harmonizing the whole time to make it sound less unpleasant to the ears.]
[Mr. Li has courage and deserves praise. Every person who chases their dream despite setbacks deserves praise.]
[This must be a sense of collective honor. Mr. Li doesn’t want to be the only one not participating in this segment.]
After the duet ended, everyone reluctantly applauded.
“Thank you, Li Yanchen and Lin Wan, for bringing us this heartfelt song,” the director said hastily and introduced the final performer. “Teacher Zheng Kuo is the last performer for today.”
The director was afraid that if he didn’t speak up, Li Yanchen would have the urge to sing another song.
Today, Zheng Kuo changed his instrument. While Qi Ming was a singer, he was a teacher. Although both were related to music, one focused on performing music, and the other on teaching it.
Zheng Kuo took the stage as the final act. The production team had their own plans. They hoped that everyone could appreciate teachers.
Zheng Kuo’s voice was deep and powerful. [Teacher Zheng’s talent is incredible.]
[It sounds great. I love classical music.]
[Teacher Zheng is the grand finale, huh? Thank you, production team, for giving Teacher Zheng such a spot.]
[The order doesn’t matter. It’s probably random.]
[Even if it’s the grand finale, Zheng Teacher deserves it.]
Zheng Kuo sang two songs in a row and then bowed. “Thank you for listening.” “It was amazing!” Thunderous applause filled the room.
Tao Jingyuan looked at her husband with admiration. She had been listening to her husband sing and play instruments for about ten years, and she never grew tired of it.
Finally, she stepped forward and kissed her husband on the cheek. “You were fantastic!”
“Thank you, my dear.”
[Oh my god!]
[At this moment, Lavvyer Tao seems like a young girl in love.]
[No matter how stoic a woman is, she’ll turn into a fangirl in front of the man she admires, right?]
